Chapter 54: Electric Shock Punishment
Although Lonis wanted to run away and vent her inner dissatisfaction, they had important business to attend to… Only by accepting the volunteer service work could Lonis legitimately go to Ruin Island to investigate.
Therefore, Lonis couldn’t escape and could only stand still.
Facing her shouting, the black-haired girl frowned slightly: “Hmph, Lonis… as a maid, when is it your turn to shout at your master?”
“Uh…”
Faced with an angry Elus, Lonis instinctively felt a little scared… However, the unyielding feeling of being a boy still inspired her to bravely push out her chest and meet Elus’s gaze unyieldingly.
“I’ll shout, what’s wrong with shouting! Elus bullied me.”
“Hmph, I understand… In that case, let’s do this.”
“Eh?”
“Level 5, activate.”
…
…
Feeling the electric current all over her body, Lonis couldn’t hold on and instantly collapsed to the ground.
Without a trace of mercy, without any preamble, Elus’s punishment was so sudden… Under the violent attack, Lonis’s muscles twitched subconsciously, and…
(Wuwu?)
Feeling a wetness, Lonis widened her eyes in shock.
She… actually…
In front of everyone…
“Lost control?”
For a moment, Lonis didn’t even dare to stand up, because as soon as she stood up, everyone would see the wet ground and know what had just happened to her.
And Elus?
She looked down at Lonis from above and said, “Lonis, I don’t have time to explain these things to you. Get up quickly and go complete the volunteer activities.”
“Eh?”
“Or do you still want your salary deducted? Your salary is almost gone, and if it’s deducted further, you might even have to pay.”
Bulied by Elus like this, Lonis despaired.
She thought she had gained Elus’s approval, and even if they weren’t lovers, she was a very important companion to her.
But the humiliation tonight made Lonis realize…
She was just a tool.
Like a toy, like a doll, to be whipped at any time. As long as she didn’t obey Elus’s orders, she would be ruthlessly punished.
(I… really thought too much of myself?)
(Elus doesn’t see me as a person at all, just as a tool.)
(Since that’s the case, I’ll be a tool then.)
That electric shock completely shattered Lonis’s heart, making the girl feel like the sky had fallen.
Lonis didn’t want to say anything more. She followed behind Elus, walking forward unconsciously.
(Damn…)
Looking at Lonis behind her, Elus frowned.
If she could, she would also explain the situation to Lonis… but time was pressing, and they were still on the street, so there was no time for detailed explanations.
Moreover, volunteer work was limited, and if they were late, there would be none left.
For example, a relic interpreter was a very popular volunteer job… If they took this job, they could not only earn a lot of points, but if they were lucky, they might even have a chance to visit the Temple of Clarity. (Non-visit)
But Lonis’s lateness had disrupted all these plans.
All the good jobs would have been snatched up, and now, even if they rushed to the club center, the only volunteer job they could take would be the maid service.
This job had nothing to do with the temple itself, but was to take care of the entourage of the King of Ruo Hui Gong… It was roughly equivalent to waitstaff, requiring no technical skills and certainly no chance to get close to the Temple of Clarity.
The only benefit was that they could stay on Ruin Island at night to survey the island’s map and magic power flow.
But even if they could stay, their activities would definitely be restricted to the inn… Elus didn’t want to fall out with the school, so she wouldn’t sneak out.
Moreover…
(Hmph, just because you got the identity of an excellent maid, you don’t want to be bullied anymore?)
…
Looking at the silver-haired girl, Elus snorted coldly… In fact, because Academy Island was a safe place, she had been much gentler with Lonis recently, and even if Lonis disobeyed orders, she wouldn’t really bully her.
But, if they were in a dangerous place and Lonis disobeyed her…
Elus couldn’t even imagine how terrible the consequences would be: this silver-haired girl had no correct understanding of danger, and every time she acted on her own, she would put herself in great danger.
Therefore, obeying her orders was absolute.
What’s more…
A trace of unease flickered in Elus’s heart.
She didn’t know where this unease came from, but she felt that… something very dangerous might happen on Ruin Island tonight.
This feeling was vague and lacked concrete evidence, making it impossible for Elus to contact the school and make preparations in advance.
Therefore, she had to ensure that “Lonis was obedient,” because only then could she ensure the safety of the idiot maid.
(Is Ruo Hui Gong the problem… Well, that’s a possibility, I need to be wary.)
Because she was constantly thinking about tonight’s events,
Elus had no mood to attend to Lonis’s feelings.
And so, Elus arrived at the club center and took on the maid job.
“Students, you can change in the changing room. After you finish changing, you can head to Ruin Island through this teleportation array.”
“Mm, I understand, thank you.”
“Uh?”
Lonis hadn’t said anything all the way.
It wasn’t until she heard that she had to change clothes that her body trembled, as if she understood something.
“Do… do I need to go into the changing room?”
“Hmph, what else?”
“Wuwu…”
Facing Elus who was so close, Lonis was a little at a loss.
She knew that her emotions had been a little out of control just now, or rather… she might have misunderstood Elus.
After all, she knew what kind of person Elus was, didn’t she?
Back in the Snow Kingdom, she had been misunderstood by the common people, which made her feel very lost and unable to protect everyone.
And she, wasn’t she the person closest to Elus? How could she misunderstand Elus, or even despair of her?
Moreover, she was indeed late…
Although Elus’s mockery was excessive, she was in the wrong first, and should have accepted Elus’s reprimand and apologized obediently before talking about other things.
(Sigh, I… )
However, even if Lonis wanted to apologize now, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
She could only pretend to be angry, and followed behind Elus without saying a word, and then…
“Lonis, did you hear me?”
“Eh?”
“We’re changing clothes now, hurry up and take off your clothes, what are you standing there foolishly for.”
…
Staring at herself, Elus said very arrogantly.
