Chapter 5: Reversing the Reversal!
These past few days, Su Ling Zhou had been listless.
This was not only because she had learned of Xiao Shi’s death, but also because, suddenly, Su Ling didn’t know what she should do.
Although, speaking of it, everyone had agreed to face the terrifying Demon King together and work together towards progress.
But herself…
It seemed she hasn’t been of any use?
She had always been in the ship playing games all day long, and even though she wanted to improve herself, she had never done so.
Every time she was snuggled in bed, she thought, “I’ll figure it out tomorrow~”
“Ah… is this what they call a social reject? I feel like I have to do something…”
…
Actually, Su Ling started working at the maid cafe in order to improve herself.
This way, she could become a very gentle girl, and secondly, she could meet all sorts of people and broaden her horizons.
But in the end…
She hadn’t improved much. The cafe customers seemed to treat her as a mascot and always doted on her.
If this is the case…
Wouldn’t she always be under her sister’s protection and unable to grow up?
…
…
Thinking of this, Su Ling let out a bitter sigh.
Even though she had arrived at the streets of the Royal Capital, she didn’t know where it would be best to go.
Should she go help everyone? But Bai Ye and Senior Luo also seemed to have important matters to attend to.
Her sister had also gone to the Royal Palace to talk with the Young Ladies, leaving her all alone, completely unsure of what to do.
It would be great if she could do something at this moment that would surprise everyone and also make them happy.
If so…
“Hmm… Right! Since the ship is so big, maybe it would be…”
Having made up her mind, Zhou Su Ling walked forward.
…

…
As she walked out of the “Princess Hero Support Society,” Lonis’s cheeks were flushed.
This was not only because Lonis had been flustered since activating the little toy, not knowing how to resist that strange feeling.
More importantly…
The cat-eared girl beside her gave her admiring glances.
It was so sincere and pure. She completely believed that Lonis was a very capable hero, not only brave in spirit but also possessing extraordinary strength.
Therefore…
Lonis didn’t want to disappoint the cat-eared girl, didn’t want her to know that her true self was actually so useless. So she became a bit emotionally lost, fearing that her true identity would be discovered.
…
“Hmph hmph, Lonis, how was it? Is it fun to be bullied by me?”
“W-who would be happy about something like this!”
Lonis bit her lip, but she didn’t dare to speak loudly, fearing that others would hear.
“But I see you, aren’t you wearing an expression of enjoyment? You’re only level one, and you’re already so flustered that you can’t move.”
“I-I absolutely am not!”
Although her body was already very hot, Lonis still shook her head and insisted on denying it.
“Still playing tough, you idiot maid. If you really don’t like the role of a demure girl, why don’t you act more grandly normally? After all, girls can also become heroic women~~”
“I… I can’t become like that, isn’t it because of Eluscia? As long as I show a little, Eluscia will bully me.”
“Eh? But… I don’t have my former strength anymore, do I?”
“Eh!”
“Even if I activate the remote control, you should be able to snatch it back by force, right? After all, as a great hero, as a valiant and spirited girl, you can’t possibly be bullied by a disarmed black-hearted girl~”
“Woo?!”
As Eluscia said this, Lonis realized that her mindset seemed to have truly changed.
It seemed that compared to the revered Hero, she was more accustomed to being Eluscia’s little maid—it seemed that staying by Eluscia’s side made her feel more at ease.
“You’ve realized it, haven’t you? Hmph, you silly little maid, you’re a weakling at heart. You’ve just been unwilling to admit it.”
“Eluscia!!!”
Lonis knew that the most masculine thing she could do now was to directly embrace this detestable black-hearted girl and drag her to a secluded corner to rectify the situation.
But not to mention, how could she push down Eluscia without the tools of engagement, and more importantly… she didn’t have the slightest courage to push down this black-hearted girl.
So…
“Hmph, as expected, a weakling is a weakling. Now kneel down obediently and call me Master Eluscia~”
“M-Master Eluscia…”
“Mm, good very good, as expected of a cute little maid~”
Seeing her submissive expression, Eluscia crossed her arms and looked proud.
However…
Lonis, in her heart, genuinely felt a hint of dissatisfaction.
This Eluscia was always so cunning, always bullying her and teasing her.
Could it not be…
Because she knelt on the ground, Eluscia’s smile became even more mocking, and a strange thought arose in Lonis’s heart, making her…
Suddenly lunge forward!
“Lonis, what are you doing!”
“Awu!”
The little fox suddenly pounced on Eluscia… She hadn’t lied to Lonis. With her heart heavily wounded, Eluscia’s strength was not much better than an ordinary girl.
Coupled with Lonis’s surprise attack, Eluscia was instantly subdued.
“Lonis, you…”
Before the girl could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by Lonis’s hand.
Immediately after, Lonis dragged the black-haired wife towards the woods.
“!”
“Eluscia, I will have my revenge!!!”
Thanks to the Tree of Origin Collapse, there were many secluded woods within the Royal Capital’s territory.
It was very deep and secluded, and the dense bushes almost completely obscured the line of sight of passersby… And this was the back door of the memorial hall, so no one could notice the girls’ actions.
…
…
“Lonis, you… wuwu! Wuwuwu!!!”
Seeing Eluscia still struggling, Lonis even took out a handkerchief to stuff Eluscia’s mouth.
And although Eluscia tried to struggle all the way, trying to turn the tables and subdue Lonis again, Eluscia indeed had no strength. Plus, Lonis had three arms (counting her tail as one), so she had never managed to break free.
…
“Wuwu?!”
“Hoo… Hoo…”
By the time she “caught” Eluscia in the woods and tied her hands behind her back with ribbons, half an hour had passed.
After doing all this, Lonis was also somewhat exhausted.
She hadn’t thought things through just now, completely relying on a moment of bravery to catch Eluscia and drag her into the small woods.
Thinking about it now, it was simply terrifying… If her actions had been slightly delayed, it might have been a different outcome.
(So now, what should I do?)
…
(ps: Don’t be surprised by Lonis’s reversal, this is actually for future plot development. After all, if you don’t court disaster, how can there be interesting interactions and emotional sublimation?)
