Chapter 18: Little Pet
Although normally, Lonis wished everyone would look up to her and call her a great hero!
But it wasn’t like that now.
Because a few mischievous kittens had burrowed into Lonis’s skirt.
Fluffy and soft, they even stuck out their tongues to lick her thigh-high sock garters.
Pr~~~
“Unya!”
Because the cats’ mouths have barbs, Lonis couldn’t help but let out a strange sound.
“Lonis… junior? You, what are you doing…”
“Ah, ahhh! I’m fine.”
Lonis quickly shook her head, but at the same time, Elus playfully reached for her own big tail~
With attacks from both inside and out, Lonis trembled so much she couldn’t even speak.
She could feel Zhisheng Luo staring at her in surprise, seeming to wonder why she was blushing so much.
“Lonis…”
“Yes, that’s how things are. So we are now following Lonis to save the world. Senior Zhisheng, would you like to join us?”
Elus smiled, like a large black kitten, nuzzling her cheek against Lonis’s shoulder.
This scene, though it looked like two intimate girls snuggling, only Lonis knew that she was being attacked by Elus.
“Depart… where are you going?”
“Kingdom Ming, to find Miss Yue Linyi.”
“What?”
“I think you want to find her too, so this time, please come with us.”
…
…
Things unexpectedly turned out this way.
Although Lonis’s original intention was to buy Elus a plush toy, the final result was that she herself became a cute plush toy, being played with by Elus.
When they returned to the ship, even Su Ling Zhou was surprised and asked:
“Wow, Elus, where did you buy this little fox? So cute, Su Ling wants one too.”
“Hehe, I didn’t just buy this little fox, Su Ling, look who this is?”
“It’s… it’s Senior Zhisheng? Senior, you’re back?!!!!!!”
…
Seeing Zhisheng Luo’s face, Su Ling was overjoyed.
Because, just like when Lonis first came to the store, Su Ling also received some care from Senior Zhisheng when she first arrived at the store.
But looking at Su Ling, Zhisheng Luo’s face was a little bitter.
She just shook her head and said, “Su Ling, I’ve already withdrawn from school, so I’m not worthy of being called ‘senior’ by you anymore.”
“Eh?”
“You probably already know, I did something that greatly violated school rules, so I shouldn’t be treated gently…”
Zhisheng Luo seemed to want to maintain some distance from everyone, but the pink-haired girl’s reaction was completely beyond her expectation.
“So, isn’t that even better?”
“Eh?”
“We are now doing something very important. Although Su Ling doesn’t fully understand, after completing it, it will be a great achievement, and Senior Luo will surely be able to redeem herself, right?”
“Su Ling!”
“At that time, Senior will definitely be able to re-enroll, so let’s work hard together.”
…
Zhisheng Luo was completely stunned.
And Elus smiled slowly, handing Zhisheng Luo a pair of slippers: “So, that’s how it is. Making mistakes isn’t a big deal, the most important thing is to redeem yourself and create opportunities for the future?”
“Elus…”
“So, welcome to the Ming’s certified individual, Senior Zhisheng Luo.”
The next three days were basically spent in busyness.
It was fine for Lonis and Elus, as there were not many people in the Ancient Academy, and the basic theoretical magic courses were available year-round, making it easier to handle various procedures.
However, Su Ling had more things to deal with.
She had to say goodbye to her classmates, say goodbye to her teachers, and handle all sorts of procedures.
Although Lonis had suggested that Zhou Su Ling also stay on Academy Island and not get involved in the Rainbow Abyss matter… Su Ling, despite appearing easygoing usually, was as stubborn as a mule on critical issues and wouldn’t back down.
“I already told you, Lonis, don’t worry about me.”
“But it’s really dangerous?”
“Hmph, Little Luo probably doesn’t know? Actually, my family are senior executives at C. Academy.”
“Ah…?”
“One day, I might inherit this academy and become a legitimate principal! So it’s only natural to gain necessary experience when I’m young, right?”
“Wuwu…”
It was hard to imagine what the school would be like if Zhou Su Ling became the principal. But this pink-haired girl seemed to be already envisioning that scene…
“So, Little Luo, let me go. That way, when I become principal later, I can also bestow the title of dean upon Little Luo.”
“B-but deans are learned scholars…”
“How about establishing a maid academy?”
“Why would there be such a strange academy!”
The girls were joking, but even so, seeing Su Ling’s mind made up, they could only agree to let Su Ling join them.
During these few days, Lonis was also preparing for the long journey.
One was to prepare resources for the journey, such as beef jerky, potato chips, and dried vegetables, stocking several large sacks, because no one knew what would happen. Anyway, now that the ship was larger, it was not a bad thing to store more food and medicine in the warehouse.
The second was…
The fox tail and fox ears were really hard to adapt to!
Although they could maintain balance, it was very troublesome when going to the toilet.
After all, when sitting on the toilet, there was nowhere to put the tail, and every time she walked through the hall, everyone stared at her fox ears…
“So fluffy?”
“Yes, fluffy…”
“Looks so cute.”
“Mhm, so cute.”
“Wuwu, everyone, please stop looking at me…”
“But, Little Luo with fox ears is indeed very cute, isn’t she?”
“Yes, no wonder classmate Elus wanted to protect Lonis even if she was my enemy. Who wouldn’t like such a cute little fox?”
Poor Lonis never expected that her tail would be so attractive to everyone.
The girls gathered around her like
they were looking at a small animal, casting curious glances at her.
So, she could only…
“Wow, I get it, everyone. Please touch it, but only once, really only once, okay?”
“Little Luo is the best.”
“Is it a charm strap? Pull~”
“Ughhhh!!!”
…
…
Because the tail was too strange, in private, Lonis secretly found Elus, hoping she could let her take off the tail.
And why in private? Because Lonis knew that with Elus’s personality, she would definitely not let her take off the fox costume for no reason.
There must be a condition, and that condition would be her body.
However…
“Eh, you want to take it off? Unfortunately, that’s impossible, okay?”
“W-what?”
“Because this thing is currently connected to your nerves. So if it’s suddenly removed, you’ll probably feel pain like having your limbs cut off~~”
“!”
“Moreover, you’ve already gotten used to walking with the tail. So if it’s removed, White-silk Little Maid will always be unsteady again… taking one step and falling two steps, crying and sobbing on the ground, it really looks pitiful, doesn’t it?”
“Elus!!”
…
…
Looking at Lonis, who had turned into a little fox, Elus smiled slightly.
She would never say that there was actually a way to remove the fox tail and ears.
But,
Since the fluffy Lonis was so cute, why not let her stay in this image for a few more days and enjoy this rare “pet” time to the fullest?
