Chapter 34 Pampering
The girl’s body slammed into the rock wall at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour, her body embedded in the rock.
A normal person would have been unquestionably dead by now. However, Elus was not a normal person, and despite suffering such a blow, she still maintained the integrity of her body.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, the girl coldly pondered:
“Hmph, still chasing me like this? In that case, I’ll just have to kill you…”
…
Elus raised her arm from the crack in the rock and once again mobilized the magic around her.
But at this moment…
She saw the figure of the little fox, perched on the spaceship’s window.
So foolish, so cute~~
No matter how you looked at it, she was utterly adorable!
If she overextended herself and got hurt, would this little fox cry?
(Oh dear, this is so troublesome.)
Elus sighed and shook her head slightly.
And at this moment, Silent Leaf also relentlessly attacked her, seemingly intending to kill her.
“Elus, die!”
However, Elus burst out laughing:
“Ha ha, foolish creature, don’t you even realize you’ve fallen into my trap?”
“What?”
“I never intended to escape; saying I’d cover the rear was just to kill you… and now, you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep?”
“!!!”
Silent Leaf’s eyes widened in surprise. Only now did she realize that in her eagerness to catch and kill Elus, she had left her own territory and lost her magical support.
And now, if Elus were to go all out…
“Careless!”
It was too late for Silent Leaf to escape. A lacquer black long sword was gathering in Elus’s hand… just like when she tried to strike Cru, it converged with an indescribable power.
The green-haired girl felt a chill run down her spine. While she had come prepared, she never imagined that Elus’s strength would be so terrifying.
Far exceeding that of a normal Demon King, no, even General Castor might not be her match?!
Silent Leaf’s body trembled uncontrollably, but she couldn’t move. It seemed she could only gradually disintegrate and shatter within this dark sword energy, turning into scorched earth…
But, it was only in the next second.
Her ears heard Hoffa’s voice:
“Silent Leaf, stop chasing. Elus has already escaped.”
“What!”
The green-haired girl opened her eyes and realized at this moment that the black-haired girl had actually escaped!
She clung to the mast of the Time Shuttle, making faces at her as she moved away, as if to say…
“Silly fool! You’re scared shitless in my illusion, aren’t you, hahaha!”
…
————————-
…
…
Seeing Elus return to the cabin safe and sound, the girls all relaxed with a long sigh of relief.
The situation had been so intense, and everyone had been afraid Elus wouldn’t be able to hold out… but fortunately, from beginning to end, the black-haired girl had appeared to be in control.
“Elus!”
“Captain Elus…”
“Ah, ah, everyone, don’t hug me like this! I’ve already told you, nothing would happen~~”
The black-haired girl, who had returned to the ship with swagger, naturally received a fervent welcome… This made Elus feel a bit shy.
After all, although this girl was black-hearted, she couldn’t handle much praise from her companions. She took the towel handed by Su Ling and wiped her hair, only to notice with surprise at this moment…
Lonis had not rushed to hug her.
The little fox was simply curled up on one side of the sofa, looking at her with a pair of watery eyes.
And seeing Elus staring at her, the little fox was so frightened that she immediately shrank behind the sofa… But even though she hid her head, she couldn’t hide her ears; even though she hid her body, she couldn’t hide her tail. Elus could still clearly see Lonis.
So…
“Ah, ah, um, everyone, let’s get back to business first? Give Elus and Little Luo some alone time~~”
“Mmm, mmm, I just remembered I haven’t made dinner yet!”
The girls were not fools; they could all tell that Elus and Lonis were in a special mood at the moment, so they all left the place and went to do other things.
…
“Lonis, come here quickly.”
Elus beckoned, gesturing for the little fox to run into her embrace, but the little silver fox merely trembled and shrank further behind the sofa.
If it were the usual black-hearted girl, she would have scolded her long ago. But at this moment, she ran to the side of the sofa and grabbed the little fox.
“Waaah!”
“Honestly, why are you running? Even if I’m very hungry right now, I won’t really eat you?”
The girl affectionately held Lonis in her arms and rubbed her ears.
And the little fox? Although she tried to struggle, the moment Elus touched her, she was stunned and didn’t know what to do anymore.
…
“Earlier, was the little fox Lonis very worried about my safety?”
“Wuwu…”
“Little idiot, you care about me so much, I’m very happy? But as it turns out, I encountered no danger at all. The so-called crisis was just a tactic I used to trick my opponents~~~ Little fox, you didn’t need to be afraid at all!”
After saying that, Elus gently stroked Lonis’s silver hair again.
She had thought that her gentle explanation would reassure the little fox, but the result was…
“Wuwu…”
This silver-haired little fox girl appeared even more dejected.
Her large pupils seemed to be under some kind of anesthetic, unfocused. She had no spirit at all and looked extremely disheartened.
What was going on?
Elus frowned in confusion, and then she suddenly remembered what senior Isumi had said.
Lonis,
She really wanted to fight alongside her.
Not to be protected as a pet, nor just as a vial of magic potion.
So, seeing her defeat her opponent, while the little fox was relieved, she also felt a hint of disappointment…
Thinking that she was useless,
Thinking that she was not worthy of being her master’s pet.
If Lonis… was thinking like this just now…
…
“Little idiot maid, you don’t want to… live off me?”
“Wuwu…”
Foxes couldn’t speak, but from the emotions she revealed, Elus could still see something.
Her unwillingness to leave her side,
Her courage to not stay behind,
Her determination to become her support,
And…
Her love for her, from beginning to end.
(Sigh, I can’t do anything about you, can I?)
Elus sighed and said,
“Then now, I’ll pamper you one more time. But this is the last time. Next time, even if you turn into a little fox and act spoiled, I won’t pamper you anymore.”
Flicking the tip of Lonis’s small nose, the girl smiled playfully.
