Chapter 20 A Beautiful Morning
With Elus’s support, Lonis walked unsteadily into the Ancient Academy.
Although feeling somewhat exhausted, Lonis was determined to help Elus, even if it was just with the ticket checking.
However, the silver-haired girl didn’t expect…
“Lonis-chan, good morning.”
“Huh? Su Ling-chan, and Senior Mi Xue Zhou… why are you here? Ah, are you here to experience the Ancient Academy’s escape room?”
It was only 8 AM, and the escape room required preparation before opening at 10 AM.
“No, Lonis-chan misunderstood. We’re here to help.”
“H-help?!”
“Yeah, since our academy has so many people, our work is already done. So, we thought we’d help Lonis a bit~”
“That’s right.”
Senior Mi Xue Zhou also smiled slightly and said, “Besides, we’re actually quite curious about the backstage of the escape room. We want to write a special report about it to let more people know about the Ancient Academy.”
Senior Mi Xue Zhou had also brought paper and pens, appearing well-prepared.
Elus, as if she had anticipated this, showed no surprise at all. “Then, the mechanisms and guest reception will be left to the two of you. Classmate Lonis is a bit tired today, so she might not be able to handle the work?”
“It’s fine, leave it to Su Ling.”
…
…
And so, that’s how things turned out.
Although Lonis wanted to work hard, her companions had actually finished the tasks for her.
Elus operated the switches, ensuring the traps in each escape room were functioning correctly.
Senior Yan and Mi Xue Zhou tidied up the rooms, patiently resetting the various traps.
Su Ling Zhou managed the queue and handled ticket sales.
Even Director Emerald Glaze joined in, handing towels to some of the participants who were in a bit of a mess.
Everyone worked together, and consequently, the Ancient Academy’s escape rooms were much more successful than on the first day.
…
…
Not only did the visitors give rave reviews, but even the students’ impressions of the Ancient Academy improved significantly.
“Is… this really the Ancient Academy? It feels so interesting, I kind of regret not applying here.”
“It’s not even remotely as scary as the seniors said. They said there were often butchers rampaging around, but where are they~”
“If I were to give a rating, I’d give it 10 points. It’s simply amazing!”
…
Happy smiles are contagious.
Watching each visitor leave with satisfaction, Lonis’s heart was filled with a happy sense of fulfillment… after all, these traps were arranged by her and Elus together.
Although the process was a bit bumpy, it was precisely because of her personal adjustments that they could ensure every visitor felt the thrill without being overly bullied.
Therefore, from the control room, Lonis said happily,
“Elus, this is great! Our plan this time was a complete success, wasn’t it?”
“Hmph, with me in charge, isn’t success a foregone conclusion?”
“Wuwu…”
“However, this clumsy maid also put in some effort! Hmm, I’ll reluctantly give you some encouragement.”
Elus reached out and patted Lonis’s shoulder.
Although it was just a casual gesture, Lonis realized… Elus was very happy.
Even with her feigned coldness, the black-haired girl’s lips were subtly upturned, and her crimson eyes held no resistance, no distance, only a sense of contentment being with her.
(Elus…)
Realizing this, Lonis’s cheeks felt hot.
She knew very well what this meant, because it wasn’t just simple recognition; it represented satisfaction…
…
Lonis was thinking, while Elus simply smiled faintly.
“Oh, what’s wrong? Not satisfied?”
“Wuwu?”
“Or perhaps, Lonis wants a more interesting reward?”
After saying that, Elus glanced towards Lonis’s skirt, her gaze as if she were about to conduct an inquisition right there.
This completely terrified the silver-haired girl; she hadn’t forgotten how painful that feeling was last night.
If she were to be pushed down by Elus here, not only Senior Yan and the others, but even the customers waiting outside would notice something was amiss.
“Elus, we can’t do this here. They’ll hear us.”
“Oh? So, it’s fine as long as no one hears?”
“N-no, that’s not what I meant.”
“Hmph, as I thought, you clumsy maid, you’ve completely fallen. You’re willingly becoming a doll, to be played with by me.”
“That’s not true!!!”
Perhaps she knew that Elus wouldn’t dislike her?
Lonis’s tone of resistance was also subconsciously “more arrogant”… in the past, the silver-haired girl would never have dared to shout at Elus like this.
“Hmph, you say one thing and mean another?”
“Huh?”
“I’m saying, you weak, little maid, don’t hide it anymore. Freely vent your desires, be honest. Isn’t that good?”
“Elus?”
“Your body is already restless, isn’t it? After all, you were so cute last night.”
Suddenly, Elus’s eyelashes fluttered.
Although her appearance hadn’t changed at all, at this moment, Elus seemed like a different person, exuding an indescribable, unique aura.
Calm, alluring, enchanting, and provocative.
The girl’s lips parted slightly, and then, a trace of fragrant warmth blew onto Lonis’s earlobe.
It was light, but completely unignorable.
Like an electric current piercing her body, the silver-haired girl’s delicate form instantly went limp.
And Elus?
As if still not satisfied, she reached out with her pure white index finger and slowly slid it over Lonis’s lower abdomen, drawing a circle.
“Heh heh, Lonis, at this point, do you still think you can escape?”
“Huh?”
“Even if you are my companion, and even if you are somewhat important, you don’t actually think that’s all there is to it, and I won’t bully and ravage you, do you?”
“!”
“Lonis, as your master, I’ll bully you even more! I’ll torment you until you’re drenched in sweat and begging for mercy.”
“I’m done for!”
Feeling Elus’s finger already at the zipper of her pleated skirt, Lonis could only close her eyes.
Elus’s finger was getting closer and closer to her underpants.
Although Lonis wanted to scream for help, just as Elus said… Since they had become intimate, she shouldn’t resist anymore.
…
However, just as Lonis was about to do nothing, intending to let Elus tease and bully her.
She felt Elus’s finger stop.
Then, Lonis opened her eyes, but where were the alluring and enchanting gazes from just moments ago?
In her clear pupils, there was only a mischievous smile, as if she had successfully played a trick, and a joy as if she “had seen something cute.”
Even if Lonis was slow to understand, she finally realized…
“Wuwu, Elus, how could you do this!”
“Hmph, I guessed right, didn’t I? Lonis little maid, you’ve completely become a maid-doll, only able to playfully spoil yourself in my arms.”
“No, I haven’t!!”
“Oh? Even your way of acting spoiled has become so girlish?”
“No, I don’t admit it. It’s all because Elus is too bad, Elus is a big bad guy!!!!”
Lonis retorted with all her might, pushing back forcefully!
