Chapter 24: Setting Sail
“Wow, what a big and beautiful ship!”
“Lonis, stop looking, we’re not going to ride on it.”
“Wuwu…”
Emerging at the end of the sky was a ship about two hundred meters long.
It was streamlined, and although the overall material was made of wood, firm metal components could be seen in the details—glass windows and the like were all complete, and it looked like it could accommodate hundreds of people at least.
However, Lonis didn’t see any propellers or airbags on the ship.
“Elus, how is that ship… floating in the air?”
“Flagship-class anti-gravity device.”
“Huh?”
“Simply put, under the charge of the anti-gravity device, the entire hull of the ship generates a diamagnetic field that can shield gravity, so only a small amount of wind crystals are needed to maintain balance, and it can move freely.”
“Oh… Oh?”
“However, precisely because of the existence of anti-gravity, some ancient relics have a risk of losing control, so they cannot be placed on the main ship. It seems we have to help transport them?”
“So that’s how it is…”
Looking at the wooden box in the living room, Lonis suddenly realized and nodded.
These items were delivered by Senior Yan this morning, and since both Lonis and Elus were students of Ancient Academy, no extra guards were placed on the ship.
…
“Lonis, are you ready? We’re leaving.”
“Mm, mm…”
Looking at the outline of the school buildings in the distance, Lonis felt a bit emotional.
No matter how reluctant she was, the day to leave had arrived.
She hoped this journey would be smooth and everyone would return safely.
Just as Lonis nodded and was about to say “Ready”…
From a distance, a voice suddenly came.
“Lonis, wait!!!”
“Huh?”
“Take me with you too, wuwu!”
A pink-haired girl suddenly ran towards the ship.
Lonis didn’t know what was happening, but Elus sighed as if she had encountered some trouble: “Oh dear, it seems there’s more than one idiot.”
“Huh?”
“Hurry up and clean the room, welcome the guest.”
…
…
Opening the cabin door, classmate Su Ling Zhou ran in, covered in sweat.
It could be seen that she had run very urgently… her hair was messy, and her clothes were dirty, as if she had rolled in the mud.
But even so, Su Ling still jumped up and said happily:
“Hehe, I finally got the application! I can also go on a grand adventure to Boundless Soil with everyone.”
“Huh?”
Lonis was stunned. Su Ling also took out a report… this proved that the pink-haired girl had also taken on the same mission as her.
“Su Ling, why…”
“Well, since the mid-term exams are over? It’s nice to travel during this time~ Hehe~~”
The pink-haired girl giggled, and Elus shook her head and asked, “So, classmate Su Ling, have you got your sister’s permission for this mission?”
“Huh?”
“As expected, you haven’t told her, have you?”
“I’m an independent girl, why should I tell her!”
Upon hearing her sister’s name, Su Ling seemed a little scared, but still said: “And there’s no need to worry, my sister is also on this journey, she’s just traveling on a large transport ship.”
“Uh?”
“In fact, many classmates have participated in this mission. It is said that a new type of tree has been discovered at the Boundless Research Station, and a lot of people are needed to help.”
———Su Ling Zhou’s Thoughts———
…
Phew, I finally made it?
Fortunately, I didn’t miss this opportunity.
Otherwise, I always feel like classmate Lonis would suddenly disappear like Senior Zhi Sheng Luo.
Um…
I know, everyone thinks I’m a bit silly and don’t understand anything.
But, I’m very clear.
Senior Zhi Sheng Luo must have violated school rules and was forced to withdraw, right?
And Elus and classmate Lonis are certainly not as simple as they seem… they must have come to C. Academy for a special purpose.
But even so, what of it?
Didn’t we also come here with the purpose of studying and making friends?
Youth is only once.
It would be too regrettable to miss it.
So, I also hope to venture out more when I’m young, cherish the bonds with my companions, and experience this vast world together!
Um…
It’s just that I have to avoid my sister, so I can’t take the main ship?
Will this cause trouble for Elus and classmate Lonis?
Um
, I need to think of a way.

…
Su Ling Zhou coming aboard the ship was both good and bad for Lonis.
The good thing was that it would be more lively, and having a companion nearby made Lonis feel safer.
But the bad thing was…
Would Elus bully her in front of Su Ling Zhou?
Pinning her down on the bed and doing excessive things to her like that night.
If there was another person on the ship, she wouldn’t be able to call for help, no matter how much she was bullied, she could only bite her lip pitifully and couldn’t make a sound.
Thinking of this, Lonis looked at Su Ling Zhou… and saw that the pink-haired girl was also looking at her, and even proactively said:
“Lonis-chan, don’t worry, I brought a sleeping bag.”
“Huh?”
“I saw there was still some space in the living room, can I sleep on the floor here?”
…
Lonis never expected Su Ling Zhou to live like this.
She took out an incredibly gorgeous sleeping bag from her storage ring and placed several plush toys around it!
These plush toys were very cute, including little bunnies, little foxes, tabbies.
The soft girl style decorations instantly filled the Magic Ship with a warm atmosphere, as if entering a girl’s boudoir.
“Su Ling Zhou…”
“Huh, Lonis-chan, can I place them?”
“Mm…”
Although Lonis didn’t mind, she was not the owner of the ship and could not make decisions.
The silver-haired girl subconsciously looked at the captain, only to find that the black-haired girl frowned, as if staring at something very strange.
(Elus?)
Following Elus’s gaze, Lonis finally discovered what Elus was staring at.
It was a very silly-looking two-headed doll, with silver beautiful hair, like a chibi Lonis, looking incredibly cute.
“Huh, classmate Elus, can’t I place these toys?”
“Mm, of course you can.”
Noticing Lonis’s gaze, Elus turned her head and said, “Personally, I welcome classmate Su Ling Zhou aboard the great Elus ship! However, on this ship, I am the captain, so everything must follow my command.”
“No problem, no problem, classmate Elus, just command me as if we were in the shop.”
“Shop?”
“Yeah, let’s just consider it a Maid Cafe. Lonis is Maid Number One, and I’m Maid Number Two… hehe, this way, we can both help Lonis relieve work stress and take care of Young Lady Elus?”
