Chapter 43: The Judgment of the Cross
Suddenly, Lonis understood what was happening.
There was only one bed on the magic-driven boat, and it wasn’t large, only 1 meter wide… If two people slept on it, it would be slightly crowded.
Therefore, in order for Lonis to sleep on the bed, Elus inevitably reverted to her loli form.
Of course, to prevent Lonis from seeing things she shouldn’t (Elus’s underwear) at night, the little loli put an eye patch on her.
“I’ll sleep with you tonight, but you’re not allowed to make any noise, understand?”
“Eeeeh…”
“If you dare to wake me up, I’ll put you out in the wild to sleep with monsters tomorrow.”
“I-I understand. >_<" ... Lonis felt her cheeks burn, and her voice became weak. Elus had not abandoned her after all. She knew Lonis might be afraid of the dark, so she slept with her... Thinking of this, the silver-haired girl felt a warmth in her heart. Because she was tired from a long day, she slowly fell asleep. However, Lonis did not expect... When she opened her eyes, she was tied to a cross! (W-What's happening?) The strong straps were tight against her flesh, and her arms and legs were firmly bound, making her unable to move. Even though she opened her mouth, she couldn't even let out a muffled cry. A large rubber ball was firmly tied in her mouth... And opposite her was a strange, oddly dressed stranger. It was wearing yellowish rags and a yellow hood on its head, its face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female. But what was even more terrifying was that this person held a leather whip in their left hand, and a piercing rod—whose terrifying length and strange protrusions were enough to send any girl's spine chilling—in their right hand. The stranger took a step towards her and said fiercely, "You servant of the devil, do you still intend to resist at this point?" "Wuwuwu?!" "Oh, I forgot you can't speak. Then, let us continue with the exorcism ritual." "Wuwu! (What do you want?!)" Lonis's eyes widened in shock, but her body, tied to the cross, could not struggle at all. First, the long braid whipped against her white stockings, making a crisp, loud sound. Then, a club was used to strike her legs, as if her bones were being broken. Finally, there was that incredibly terrifying mace. "Wuwu! (No.)" "Hmph, last time you lasted five minutes, how long can you last this time?" The stranger sneered and struck Lonis with the mace. Then, it unleashed its magic power... ... ... (Ahhhhh!!!) It was a completely different feeling from being bullied by Elus. When Elus bullied her, although Lonis couldn't move, she could faintly feel a trace of care in her heart. The sensation on her body was less like torture and more like a massage. But now? There was only hysterical pain. Lonis could feel that the stranger had no pity for her, and the magic power output was at the maximum level. He simply wanted to admire her ruined expression and her pleas for mercy. (Ahhh, ahh! Elus, hurry, hurry and save me...) Under the excruciating pain, Lonis felt her head splitting. Her only desire was for Elus to come and save her. Even if it meant being her exclusive maid, it would be fine. At least Elus was still a girl. Even if she were to be violated or ravaged by her, Lonis would accept it far more than this person in front of her. However, at this very moment... "Hey, you idiotic maid, why are you screaming so early in the morning?" "Huh?" "I told you not to disturb my rest. If you keep this up, I'll plug your mouth too." ... ... Lonis opened her eyes and saw the loli-looking Elus sitting in front of her, looking at her with a helpless expression. In her hand was the eye patch she had just removed from Lonis's eyes, and the surrounding scene was the familiar interior of Lonis's bedroom. It was still raining heavily outside, and the light was dim. Only the light from Elus's mobile phone faintly illuminated the surroundings. (What's going on?) Lonis froze for a moment. But soon, she understood that the previous scene was a dream... She had dreamed that she was captured by a strange person and then humiliated in various ways. Realizing this, a blush appeared on Lonis's cheeks. Had she truly become a masochist? Was that why she so desperately craved to be trained, even by a stranger? (No... how could such a thing be possible?!) As Lonis thought this, Elus frowned and asked dismissively, "Hmph, you, were you having a nightmare just now?" "Huh?" "Dreaming that you were tied up by a stranger and abused with toys?" "E-Elus, how did you know?!" Lonis took a step back in fright... It wasn't that she was scared of anything else, but rather afraid that this dark-hearted beautiful girl would "perfectly replicate" the events of her dream in reality. However, Elus just sighed helplessly and said, "Haah, as expected, you're an idiot. You were yelling, how could I not know?" "Ah..." "Besides, that wasn't a nightmare. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the female ghost you encountered last night, who sent you a dream." "Eeeh, a dream?" "Yes, because she died unjustly, she's unwilling to give up. So she's forcing you to avenge her. If you don't, she might keep bothering you and make you suffer torment every day." "Master Elus, save me!" Being haunted by ghosts every day was scary enough, but how terrifying would it be to dream of being bullied and ravaged every night while sleeping? Lonis didn't want to see ghosts, and she certainly didn't want to be bullied like a female prisoner all day long. However, Elus smiled wickedly and said dismissively to Lonis: "Oh? Didn't you always say you were brave? Why are you so soft and weak when you need me?" "Eeeh...?" "Don't tell me you pretend to be strong every day just so I can ravage you? You masochist, you're truly full of tricks~" "N-No, it's not like that!" "Hmph!" Elus hooked her finger under Lonis's chin and flicked it lightly: "But this time, you can rest assured. Our ship is broken, and repairing it requires some special parts, so we'll have to interact with the locals." "Eeeh?" "So, get ready. We'll go to the nearby village together later. I want to see what these locals are up to!" Elus snorted coldly, her crimson eyes filled with an insurmountable aura.
