Chapter 47 Confidence in the Storm
Thanks to Star Fish’s guidance, the girls did not lose their way in the storm.
Although the journey was bumpy, with waves occasionally crashing onto the deck, the companions, including Su Ling, seemed very excited.
“Reporting to Captain Elus, the temporary reinforcement of all cargo is complete. What else does Su Ling need to do?”
“Mm, no need. Su Ling, go to sleep now~”
“Eh?!”
“The necessary rest is enough for now. We have survived the first wave of the storm, and we shouldn’t need too much for the time being.”
“B-but…”
Su Ling blinked her eyes, and after a while, said a bit shyly, “But… Su Ling can’t sleep.”
“Ah?”
“Because I’ve never encountered such a big storm before, so I’m very excited. I tried lying in bed just now, but I couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.”
“Ah, ah…”
Su Ling’s personality was a bit beyond Elus’s ability to handle.
However…
“Mm, Su Ling, go help Little Fox.”
“Eh? Lonis…”
“Lonis volunteered to clean the room just now… Honestly, she’s like an idiot!”
…
…
What Elus said was true. Lonis was currently cleaning the room with great enthusiasm.
And why was she so enthusiastic…
Naturally, it was because Elus had encouraged her~!
Lonis knew that the girl was referring to Star Fish, which was both her recognition and affection for her.
Therefore, Lonis wanted to work harder and do more things that only a hero could do, to show her “Young Girl Hero” demeanor!
But…
Looking around, Lonis found that there didn’t seem to be anything for her to do.
After all, the Time Shuttle was very well-sealed, and no seawater would leak in. The girls didn’t need to go out on deck to fight the waves.
The only thing she could do seemed to be tidying up the scattered items on the floor and securing all the loose things in their proper places.
“If cleaning is all I can do, then I’ll clean. Anyway, I can help everyone!”
So Lonis kept cleaning the room, but when she got to the small greenhouse, she had a problem.
This was a small room for growing plants. Both the trees planted by Bai Ye and the slimes kept for entertainment lived here.
However, at this moment, these bouncing little fellows were huddled together, looking very scared.
Lonis tried to comfort them, but when they saw Little Fox, the slimes became even more frightened… They seemed to think that Lonis was hungry at night and was looking for a midnight snack.
“Gulp gulp gulp!”
The slimes made cute sounds, but their bodies were constantly bumping against the glass cabinet, as if trying to escape.
This made Lonis very troubled and unsure of how to comfort the little slimes.
But fortunately, Su Ling arrived at this moment.
“Little Lo, is there anything I can help with!!!”
“Mm, Su Ling, these slimes…”
“Eh? They’re already this scared? Oh no, we need to prepare some biscuits for them!”
Su Ling wanted to find biscuits, but Lonis had already put away all sorts of miscellaneous items when she was cleaning the room earlier.
So the pink-haired girl tried to open the cabinet to find biscuits, but at that moment…
A wave suddenly hit.
“Whoa!!”
Su Ling had just opened the cabinet door and couldn’t keep her balance at all… The contents of the cabinet poured out, heading straight out with the girl.
“Watch out!”
Although Lonis wanted to help, her strength was too little.
So Little Fox not only failed to catch Su Ling but was also knocked flying by the girl!
“Whoa!”
“Help!”
Then there was a dizzying sensation, and under the intense impact, Lonis even lost consciousness for a moment.
She didn’t know what had happened, and when she slowly regained consciousness…
(Eh? What… what is this…)
Lonis felt her nose was fragrant, as if she had bumped into something. Her eyes were covered by something very soft, so she couldn’t see what was in front of her.
Was it the scent of biscuits and the cloth strips from the cabinet?
Just as Lonis thought this, she wanted to lift her head to confirm what was in front of her.
But then…
“Whoa, it’s so ticklish… Huh, did I faint? Huh, where’s Lonis?”
The thing on her cheek was shaking, and only when it moved away did Lonis realize…
This was a girl’s buttocks!
And it had pink and white stripes!
Earlier, because she wanted to hug Su Ling, she had pounced, but by sheer coincidence, her head was pressed underneath the girl.
So…
“Oh no, Lonis is gone! This is bad… Huh, why is Little Lo under my body
, and squashed like this?”
“Whoo?”
“Wuwuwu, Little Lo, don’t die!!!”
The pink-haired girl hugged herself and cried loudly.
…
A moment later…
“I’m sorry, it turns out Little Lo is fine… You scared me to death, I thought Little Lo was crushed by me like Little Shi!”
Su Ling patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
Since she realized Lonis was fine, she seemed much happier, and didn’t seem to mind at all that Lonis had accidentally seen her skirt’s scenery just now.
And Lonis?
Although she didn’t have much experience with girls, she also knew not to dwell on uncomfortable topics, so she followed Su Ling’s lead and asked:
“Little Shi…”
“Mm, Little Lo should know. I used to really like hugging Shi when I slept, but sometimes my sleeping posture was too bad. One day I woke up, and I accidentally pressed Shi!”
“Ah?”
“Seeing the slime that had become flat like a pancake, I thought I had killed Little Shi! But then I learned that slimes are very flexible, and they can pass through all sorts of gaps like kittens.”
“They’re really amazing creatures. I actually like slimes a lot too.”
“Right, right~~ Aren’t slimes cute!”
Hearing Lonis agree with her, Su Ling happily jumped up: “But being constantly squashed is not good for slimes, so since then, I haven’t hugged Shi to sleep.”
“Eh, then isn’t that…”
“But, I made a little nest for Shi at the head of my bed~~ This way, I can say goodnight to her every day and sleep together!”
“That, that’s also very good. It feels like a stuffed toy.”
“Yes, yes~~~ Every time I wake up, I’ll pet Shi’s head, and I feel extremely happy… Oh right, when this journey returns smoothly, I’ll give you a slime too, Lonis!”
“Eh?!”
“Didn’t Shi have a lot of children? This way, when Lonis wants to hug someone, she’ll have a cute little pet by her side!”
Su Ling happily suggested to Lonis.
