Chapter 50 The Little Fox’s Doll
“Elus, are you here?!”
Lonis rushed forward excitedly, hoping to find the black-haired girl.
But… there was nothing.
Apart from people’s shadows, Lonis couldn’t even find any trace of other artificial objects.
What on earth was going on?
Lonis felt extremely confused, but just then, the little star fish beside her flicked its tail and stuck to the head of the little fox doll.
“Huh? What does that mean… Are you saying I’ve found a crucial clue?”
“~”
“Mm…”
Lonis carefully observed the fox doll.
It was very new, and besides the marks of Elus’s embrace, nothing else was found.
However, this also proved that this little fox had not been here for long, and had not even been covered with dust. It also hadn’t been soaked in seawater, so it was not drifting.
(How strange…)
The little fox sat there demurely, not like it was casually discarded, but more like it was deliberately placed here.
And…
If one looked in the direction the little fox was looking, it was an area that she had not explored at all.
“So, Elus and the others are in this direction!”
“~”
The little star fish flipped over.
“Then, I should search in this direction next?”
Lonis ran out impatiently, but the little star fish quickly spun around.
“Huh? No… So, does this little fox mean it’s not on this island?”
“~”
“Do we have to sail again?”
Realizing that Elus was not on this island, Lonis was somewhat disappointed.
But soon, she let it go.
After all, she was the hero who was saving the princess!
How could the Demon King hide the princess in a place so easy for her to find?
She had to defeat the Demon King’s castle!
(Wait, that’s not right!)
Elus, that scheming girl, was more like the princess who captured the princess than the princess captured by the Demon King.
She even left her a little fox doll, as if playing a game with her!
Then, wasn’t she like a puppet being played with in the palm of the Demon King’s hand?
She thought that defeating the Demon King would allow her to marry the princess and go home, but in the end, she was turned into a soft girl by the Demon King and kept in a room as her wife.
“So, so annoying!”
Lonis suddenly had a premonition that even if she saved Elus, this black-hearted girl would probably not cry like a typical beautiful girl and say, “My hero, you’ve finally arrived.”
Instead, she would probably blame her for being slow and unhappy because she hadn’t had a little fox to play with for days!
“Alas, I always feel… that the relationship between Elus and me is so strange!”
However, although it was strange, thinking about it this way, Lonis completely relaxed.
She looked up and said to the little star fish, “Little star fish, thank you. Next, I’m going to continue looking for the tsundere princess. Would you like to live on the ship with me?”
Hearing Lonis’s call, the little star fish excitedly flipped over.
“Huh, really?”
“~”
“Then, please take care of me.”
It was already very late when they returned to the Time Shuttle.
The clock had passed 3 AM, and Lonis seemed a bit tired.
But even so, some things still had to be done, right?
For example, preparing dinner for the little star fish.
“Little fish, what do you want to eat…”
Lonis opened the refrigerator. She intended to let the little fish choose what it wanted to eat… but the little fox never expected that this star fish would actually burrow towards her chest instead.
“Ugh?”
“~~~~”
“How can you do this? There’s no milk there anymore.”
In an instant, Lonis thought that this star fish was actually Elus in disguise, playing tricks on her the whole way!
However…
Although Elus liked to bully her, she wouldn’t let her truly fear and worry. So this star fish might have some connection with Elus, but it absolutely wouldn’t be that black-hearted girl.
“Really, there’s only milk,
No fox milk!”
“o(╯□╰)o”
The little fish showed a very regretful expression, but when Lonis took out the milk, it still happily drank it.
“Alas, what a mischievous little guy. I’ll let it roam freely in the cabin for now… Hmm, it shouldn’t start a fight with Su Ling’s slime, right?”
After confirming that the ship’s performance was intact, Lonis prepared to wash up and go to sleep.
Although the silver-haired girl was really tired, she still insisted on wiping off the sweat and the dirt on her beautiful hair.
Because…
If Elus were to return tomorrow, she would definitely want to see a clean and tidy herself, right?
Otherwise, the hug of reunion would seem too awkward.
“Well, rest well. Perhaps tomorrow, I’ll be able to find everyone.”
Thus, Lonis went to rest.
Because she was too tired, Lonis fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down.
The silver-haired girl slept very soundly and deeply, until…
…
“Ugh, ugh… it tickles, Elus, stop patting my cheeks!!!”
A ticklish sensation woke Lonis from her sleep.
But then, she realized that it wasn’t Elus patting her cheeks,
But the little star fish from last night.
“Huh, so… it wasn’t a dream?”
…
Realizing the reality made Lonis’s mood a little heavy.
If possible, she wished that everything yesterday was a dream, and that when she woke up, everyone would be on the ship again… Elus looking at her mischievously, and Su Ling happily eating breakfast.
But the interior of the ship was still empty.
Besides the little star fish and herself, there was no movement at all.
…
“Hmm… is it noon? I’m so hungry, I’ll go eat something first…”
Even though reality was so sad, Lonis was only slightly discouraged before cheering up again.
“Little star fish,
Can I have milk this morning too?”
Lonis intended to take care of her only companion.
But what about this star fish? It seemed a little anxious, and continued to circle in the air.
“Huh, you don’t like milk…”
“!!!”
The little star fish suddenly became anxious and kept bumping against the door with its body.
“Are, are you saying you want me to go out with you…”
“~~”
Seeing that Lonis finally understood, the little star fish immediately darted out.
Lonis followed closely behind, chasing after it… Lonis thought the little fish was extremely hungry, so it wanted to eat the cheese in the refrigerator!
However, it went all the way up and finally reached the door of the cockpit.
And inside the cockpit, a message was being broadcast repeatedly…
“You have a fax message, please receive it as soon as possible.”
“Huh, it’s a fax message!”
At this moment, Lonis didn’t dare to delay. She quickly ran to the fax machine to see what was printed on it.
However…
It was a warning letter.
“Dragon Roar Fleet Warning:
Ship No. b551, you have entered the critical sea area of the Vast Sea. Please evacuate immediately!
Recently, the Sea Tide Dragon has been frequently sighted, and many coastal islands have been attacked.
