Chapter 28: Night Attack
(Damn it, Isumi, that guy is really annoying…)
Elusia clenched her fists secretly.
She knew that her personality had been completely seen through by the other party… Isumi knew that she was a relatively kind girl, so she was sure that she wouldn’t issue any truly excessive orders.
And Elusia’s personality was indeed like this.
Although she could tease Lonis to her heart’s content, when facing new friends, she would always put on a little pretense and not reveal her true feelings.
Moreover, although Elusia appeared to be a sadist, she was still slightly lacking compared to a true sadist.
When facing a real pervert, she was completely unable to train them freely. Furthermore, even though Elusia had the ability to sense moods, she couldn’t figure out what Isumi was thinking.
Because the heart of this orange-haired girl had always been so calm.
Even if she knelt on the ground and barked like a dog, she felt no shame, as if it were as natural as drinking water and breathing.
(The Orange Abyss Successor of this session is indeed extraordinary, isn’t she?)
(However, you are greatly mistaken if you think you can defeat me just by doing this.)
Elusia was the type of person who became stronger with each battle; temporary setbacks would not discourage her.
In fact, this was not the first time Elusia had faced a challenge from Isumi… Last time, that guy had secretly found her maid behind her back.
So…
“Senior Isumi, since you are so diligent, I have an important mission for you!”
“What is it?”
“Work the graveyard shift all night! This ship needs a navigator at night, and this arduous task falls to you.”
…
…
And so it became this way.
In order to reach the Boundless Research Station as soon as possible for rescue, the Magic Ship broke away from the flagship’s formation and began to accelerate towards the Research Station at full speed.
The design speed of this Magic Ship was 45 knots, so it would take about 60 hours to reach the destination.
Although the ship was small and did not have space for four people to sleep, fortunately, both Su Ling and Isumi had brought sleeping bags… and because Isumi was on night shift, she did not need to take up too much space.
And perhaps, out of respect for Lonis?
When sleeping at night, Lonis’s interlayer was no longer locked. And Elusia did not use her little toys to continue teasing her.
…
“Haaa, it seems like a blessing in disguise?”
Lonis thought so.
At this moment, it was already a dense night outside the window. The sky was covered by clouds, and only through some faint gaps could a faint starlight be seen.
The ground was the same. Looking around, the entire ground was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Lonis remembered that she had also flown on a plane in her past life. However, at that time, the ground was very spectacular… she could see many villages and towns like golden lakes, weaving waves of fate in the darkness.
But now, the torch of civilization had long since gone out. Could she, like the hero of the past, write her own story in this world?
…
“Haaa…”
“Idiot maid, why are you sighing?”
“Eh?”
Just as Lonis was feeling emotional, Elusia walked over.
This black-haired girl had just finished washing up in the bathroom, and she still exuded a natural fragrance like a flower field in spring.
However, Elusia’s expression was clearly a little displeased, and the corners of her mouth were turned up in dissatisfaction:
“I’ve been busy all day and haven’t sighed, so why are you, an idiot maid who has been resting all day, sighing?”
“Young Lady, I’m sorry, I just…”
“Just what, do you want me to train you because you’re too bored?”
“No, no, it’s not like that.”
“Hmph, enjoy these few days of peace. When we arrive at Boundless Soil, you’ll be busy.”
“Ah…”
“The attack on the Boundless Research Station must be a conspiracy of the Demon Race. Because that place is different from others, it’s surrounded by wastelands, and there are no other humans living there.”
“!”
Lonis had seen Elusia wear this expression before.
Back in the cave on the snowy mountain, the black-haired girl had this same expression… It’s just that at that time, her relationship with Elusia wasn’t as good as it is now, and they couldn’t communicate everything clearly.
“Young Lady Elusia, then if we encounter danger, do I still need to hide the power of the Rainbow Abyss?”
“Hmph, of course you don’t need to hide it. After all, life is more important than exposure, isn’t it?”
“Mm!”
“But it’s still the same as usual, you have to obey my commands. You must not act on your own initiative in anything!”
“Got it.”
Lonis replied crisply. She thought that her decisive reply would put Elusia at ease.
However, the black-haired girl frowned again, her mouth slightly opening, as if she had something else to scold her about.
“Elusia?”
“Hmph, forget it, you’re an idiot anyway.”
“Eh?”
“Hurry up and wash up and go to sleep. We still have to travel tomorrow. Don’t dawdle.”
…
…
Of course, Lonis would not know.
What Elusia had wanted to say was…
“Hmph, I won’t let Lonis deliberately distance herself from Isumi?
Because if I order her to do so, wouldn’t that prove I’m guilty?
Wouldn’t that prove I’m afraid of that guy Isumi?
Elusia is my little maid, and she will always be by my side. No one can take her away, and no one can possibly take her away.
From now on, let this idiot Lonis do as she pleases. I want to see if this guy, without my restrictions, will turn into a fickle person like she was when she was a hero.”
…
…
This day passed just like that.
When Lonis heard the news of the Boundless Research Station being attacked, she was quite nervous and felt uneasy.
But perhaps it was because the ship was swaying, like a mother’s cradle?
Soon, Lonis fell into a daze and fell asleep… She had a strange dream, in which she seemed to have transformed into a hero similar to “Sailor Moon.”
Chanting the spell of “Love and Peace,” a dazzling silver light appeared around her, and just like Madoka, she saved all the personnel of the Boundless Research Station.
But just as Lonis was immersed in this inexplicable fantasy…
A violent sound woke Lonis up.
Boom!
The violent shaking caused Lonis’s breasts to hit the wall. The girl cried out in pain, covering her chest, but she had no idea what had happened.
(Did Elusia bully me again? No, this is…)
As she was thinking, Isumi’s voice came from the cockpit:
“Captain Elusia, a monster is attacking. I will activate the high-speed engines to try and shake them off.”
Immediately after, Elusia’s voice came from the bed: “What monsters, Isumi, report their numbers and locations.”
“273 of them, all Headhunter Bats, located in all directions.”
“Damn it, is this an ambush? Isumi, activate the second switch on the right side, we need to ascend.”
Elusia got up decisively and ran quickly towards the cockpit.
