Chapter 2 Return Voyage
Finally, Lonis was assigned a small bedroom.
Although it looked like a normal room, with a bed just enough for one person, a desk, and a small window that overlooked the outside.
These conditions were quite good, but amidst her joy, the silver-haired girl also felt a tinge of melancholy.
(Lonis and Elusia have to sleep separately?)
Realizing this, Lonis showed a disappointed expression.
Weren’t she and Elusia already partners? With such a close relationship, why did they have to sleep separately?
Actually, Lonis had another concern she didn’t voice.
It was because after she became a girl, her courage had also significantly decreased. And although this Time Shuttle was very good, it seemed rather empty when looking around.
With such a large ship, there were hardly any people living in it. Not to mention that after getting used to sleeping in cramped spaces, Lonis always felt insecure when sleeping alone.
So…
“Lonis, what do you mean by that pet-like expression?”
“N-No, I don’t look like a pet, at least I’m a tough girl.”
“Hmph, you’re not satisfied with the basement, and you’re not satisfied with the room on the ground floor, where do you want to sleep? You’re really hard to please.”
“Wuwu…”
Lonis’s pretty face turned red. She knew Elusia was deliberately teasing her… The other party knew her situation but deliberately made her say such shameful things.
However…
As long as she didn’t feel ashamed, wouldn’t it not be shameful?
Anyway, she had already decided that Elusia was her wife. Since she was her wife, there was nothing shameful about sleeping together!
“Elusia, I want to sleep with you.”
“Huh?”
The black-haired girl’s sword-like eyebrows rose. The aggressiveness revealed at that moment made Lonis’s heart involuntarily tremble. She felt like she was going to be bullied by Elusia.
However, the shamelessness from the Hero era made Lonis persist and not retreat.
So…
“Ah, I really can’t do anything about you, a maid. I don’t care, as long as Lonis is not afraid of being laughed at, it’s fine.”
“Being laughed at…?”
“Yes, because we have to go back to Academy Island for resupply, so Senior Yan, Su Ling Zhou, and Mi Xue Zhou will also hitch a ride with us.”
“!”
“Don’t make too much noise when I bully you at night.”
A few hours later, there was a knock on the Time Shuttle’s cabin door.
“Excuse me for disturbing you!”
Although she said she was disturbing them, Su Ling was as happy as if she were back in her own home.
“Su Ling, take off your shoes first when you enter.”
“Wow, I almost forgot.”
“Excuse me for disturbing you here too…”
After the seniors arrived, the originally empty interior of the ship suddenly became much livelier.
And Elusia, acting like the owner, said, “Lonis, quickly go and welcome everyone. Assign each of the seniors a suitable room.”
“U-Understood!”
“No need to be so formal, it’s the same as before, I’ll just sleep in my sleeping bag~”
“Su Ling, there are many empty rooms on the ship now, you don’t have to be as thrifty as you were in the past.”
“Ah… then, in return for your gratitude, I’ll still take on the maid work of cleaning the ship with Lonis… However, this ship is so big?”
“I alone… No, I really can’t do it alone, Su Ling, please help me.”
Unable to put on a brave face again, Lonis could only accept Su Ling’s help like a soft girl.
…
Thus, the seniors officially settled on the Time Shuttle.
In fact, the Time Shuttle had also received news from the Boundless Research Station and rushed from Academy Island specifically… It originally carried many research personnel, with the purpose of supporting the research station and investigating the new plants in the Boundless Land.
When returning to the ship now, so many personnel were not needed.
And according to Elusia’s request, the ship was also equipped with a dedicated female pilot. She currently worked in the security department of Clearwater Academy, and could be considered a “professional.”
“Hello everyone, I am Yu Li Wu from the Clearwater Special Operations Team. In the coming days, I will accompany everyone and ensure your safety!”
Yu Li Wu was wearing a light blue sailor uniform, was tall, and her physique was considered very strong among girls. Her voice was also very loud and sounded particularly energetic.
“Yes, thank you for your hard work, Miss Yu Li.”
“You’re welcome, this is my duty! Besides piloting the ship, I can also undertake patrol, guard duty, and other security tasks. Everyone, please don’t worry and feel free to give me orders.”
Yu Li Wu stood at attention and gave everyone a military salute.
Such a serious expression made Lonis feel a little embarrassed.
“Ah, my name is Lonis, please take care of me.”
“Mm, Classmate Lonis, I’ve heard about you.”
“About me…?”
“Recently, there’s been a rumor at Clearwater Academy that a new student named Lonis looks very weak and can fall down just by walking on flat ground.”
“Ah!?”
“And she gets lost very easily, so our security team has been paying attention. If we encounter a cute silver-haired new student, we must go up and help her.”
“Who spread such a rumor!!!”
The Time Shuttle slowly set sail.
Although the seniors, as guests, did not need to bear any responsibilities, at everyone’s strong request (especially Zhou Suling), they were each assigned corresponding tasks.
Elusia was responsible for commanding everyone and obtained the position of Captain.
Yu Li Wu was responsible for the ship’s piloting and duty nights.
Isumi served as “Young Lady Elusia’s housekeeper,” loyal to the execution of the Young Lady’s orders at all times.
Su Ling Zhou and Lonis served as maids, jointly responsible for the cleaning of the ship and the cooking of meals.
Senior Mi Xue Zhou was responsible for serving as the secretary, recording the voyage diary and the events that happened on the ship.
Senior Yan was responsible for maintaining the equipment and clearing the inventory.
These were not difficult tasks, but Su Ling acted as if she had received a great reward and immediately hummed a song happily:
“Set sail~ Set sail~ Let’s all set sail together~~~ Raise the high sails and ride the wind and waves with our companions.”
“Su Ling, what do you mean set sail? Aren’t we going back to Academy Island now? We’ll be back in a few days.”
“Ah… yes, we’re going back to Academy Island? But at the same time, we’re also setting sail!”
“Wh-What do you mean…”
“Heh heh, when we return to school, Lonis-chan will understand. I received accurate information from my family~”
“I have a feeling it’s a bit suspicious?”
Lonis blinked her eyes, feeling that things were not that simple.
