Chapter 26 Work
“No, I was wrong! Master Elus, give me another chance!!!!”
Lonis, watching Candelle still wailing as she was dragged away, felt a sense of triumph mixed with a slight unease… Fortunately, Elus had become her wife, otherwise, she would definitely be the one being bullied like this.
…
However, before Lonis could relax.
Her fox tail was pulled again.
“Stupid fox, I’m going to inspect the entire ship.”
“Huh?”
“As a little pet, hurry up and lie down and be my mount!”
…
…
Between being used as a mount and being sent for punishment, which one was better?
Lonis wasn’t sure, but fortunately, Elus didn’t make her kneel on the ground and walk on all fours… as long as she carried the little loli on her shoulder, it was enough.
However, her fox ears couldn’t avoid being ravaged.
“Idiot, turn left now, why are you slowing down?”
“Wuuu…”
“Fool, I’m checking the cleanliness of the master bathroom, why are you running so fast? Do you want to clean it with your tongue?”
“Sorry!”
…
…
However, what reassured Lonis was that the ship was generally in good condition, and the supplies were also very abundant, just like when they left.
In the cockpit on the third floor, Lonis also met Senior Zhisheng Luo, who was about to report.
However, like Candelle, she didn’t recognize Elus’s true identity:
“Lonis, have you seen Captain Elus?”
“Huh?”
“Well, although it’s not very important, it’s best to report it now? Because we encountered some strange things when we infiltrated the underground world.”
“I’m here?”
Elus didn’t hide it, but said it directly.
Looking at the little loli on the silver-haired girl’s back, Zhisheng Luo was also stunned… because in her memory, although Senior Elus wasn’t the most stable, she at least seemed mysterious and resourceful.
How could she be as happy as if she were visiting an amusement park now?
(No… judging by Lonis’s reaction, this is undoubtedly Junior Elus. Yes…)
…
“Captain Elus, are you alright?”
“Of course, I’m fine. My body has just become smaller. My intelligence is the same as before. Hurry up and tell me what’s wrong.”
“Um… actually…”
It turned out that after everyone was trapped underground, Isumi and Zhisheng Luo quickly came to support them.
They activated the Time Shuttle and prepared to enter the underground world from the Ancient Elevator.
However, they did not expect that along the way, many plants would appear to block them!
Not only was the entrance to the Ancient Elevator entangled with sticky vines and tentacles, but even after the Time Shuttle landed in the underground world, they were attacked by many plants.
There were sticky plants like seaweed, explosive plants that could shoot seeds, and even camouflaged plants that could disguise themselves as rocks!
Fortunately, the Time Shuttle had strong horsepower and a very hard outer shell, so it was not blocked.
…
“When we flew through District 7, we found a pitch-black forest in the side lane there.”
“A pitch-black forest?”
“That’s right!”
Zhisheng Luo nodded, a hint of worry appearing on her face: “According to Senior Isumi’s observation, that forest seems to be the source of the power of the plants that have been attacking us. But we were in a hurry at the time and didn’t have time to investigate.”
“And what about Senior Isumi now?”
“Um… Senior is on night duty and is sleeping now. Should I wake her up?”
“No need…”
Hearing Zhisheng Luo say this, the little loli showed a thoughtful expression: “How can there be a forest in the underground world… If something is abnormal, there must be a ghost, maybe we should go again.”
“Huh?”
“However, this is not something that should be done now. In fact, you and Senior Isumi have done very well. Thank you for your hard work.”
“No, no, you’re welcome! This is what I should do…”
Zhisheng Luo straightened her back, flattered, like a soldier who had been praised by a superior officer.
“Heh heh, then now, Senior Zhisheng Luo, go and rest~~”
“Rest?”
“Yes, as a reward, this is natural. I also need to inspect the cockpit. Please leave this to me for now.”
“Understood…”
…
…
Thus, Zhisheng Luo left.
And in the vast cockpit, only Lonis and Elus remained.
“Okay, little fox, put me down.”
“Oh…”
“You’ve done pretty well, go and play.”
“!”
“You don’t understand ship piloting or material analysis, so why are you standing here?”
Elus yawned and sat in the cockpit… Although the loli’s hands were small, they could always accurately hit every button.
And Lonis also noticed…
The smile on Elus’s lips disappeared.
Although it wasn’t exactly sadness, the little loli’s expression was clearly not as lively and happy as before…
So, does that mean…
Is Elus forcing a smile?
After all, General Castor’s danger is imminent. No one knows what other killing moves the other party will use.
Perhaps, in the next second.
The bullet from the darkness would shoot towards Elus’s eyebrows, and as a hero, would she be able to protect Elus?
(No… maybe not?)
(Because Elus has always been the one protecting herself?)
As a princess of a fallen kingdom, as the leader of her side, no matter what happens, Elus has to bear it first.
Because of this, Elus in her maiden form rarely showed a true smile. No matter when, she had to maintain a serious face, as if maintaining the situation.
And after turning into a loli?
It seemed that she could finally relax a little, but Elus was also using her personality to adjust everyone’s confidence in a lively way.
Such an Elus is too hard.
So she…
(I, I want to become stronger, I want to… protect Elus more!)
With that said, Lonis leaned closer and rested her head against the little loli’s head.
“Ah… ah? Lonis, what are you doing?!”
Elus was clearly caught off guard by Lonis’s proactive behavior and was a little flustered.
“Help Elus read the documents!”
“I told you, you can’t understand them! Many of them are written in advanced functions, how could you possibly understand them?”
“Every bit I can understand is helpful, and isn’t Elus needing the little fox’s tail to fan her?”
“…”
“She might also be thirsty, so bringing water will greatly improve efficiency?”
“Okay, I can’t help it…”
The little loli slumped onto the chair and smiled, “But even if you want to help me, you’ll be bullied at night?”
“Huh?”
“Because my job is to finish early and bully you, little fox! So, don’t even think about escaping.”
Grabbing the little fox’s big tail, Elus said happily.
