Chapter 2 Post-War Trauma
The affairs of Hero City thus came to a smooth conclusion~
Although there were twists and turns, the situation can be summarized as follows:
First, a thousand years ago, during the late civilization when Lonis was present, people developed powerful technology to resist the Demon Race. As for the city-states scattered across the Vast Sea, they were among the best.
Not only did they live comfortably, but they also possessed excellent artificial intelligence technology… This was technology that extracted the consciousness of the deceased or those who were conscripted, and then virtualized it.
Later, this technology became the prototype of the Hero System.
However, due to the plans of the Hai Chao Technology Company, the entire civilization was cursed and destroyed.
The specific cause of the curse is still unclear, but according to Lian Lan’s speculation, it should be a special ray from the universe or a higher dimension… This ray would cause human deformities, similar in principle to Yixiu Fragments, but not entirely the same.
The cursed cities fell into complete silence.
For the next nearly a thousand years, few people set foot in the entire city, becoming a forgotten place, with no records of it in the world.
However, the Trickster Demon’s plan broke the tranquility here.
In order to replicate the Rainbow Abyss Power, it conspired to invade Hero City… The simple-minded Dao Guan was lured here, and Lian Lan, who was an AI administrator at the time, was also tricked by the Trickster Demon.
A series of battles ensued, which directly led to the Sea Tide Dragon’s rampage, Lian Lan losing her memory, and the city’s security system being damaged… It seemed that only the appearance of the Sun Loli Goddess prevented things from reaching the worst possible outcome.
In the following hundred years, Lian Lan grew up in the human world, helping humanity protect the peaceful bay.
Although Lian Lan vaguely remembered her mission, due to the terrifying curse of the Vast Sea, she was always unable to return to her homeland and complete her mission.
Time then moved on to the present.
By overcoming obstacles along the way and merging her consciousness into the Vast Sea of Myriad Dimensions, Elus learned of the events that happened in the past.
And with the help of Senior Isumi’s mechanical arm, and with the assistance of Lonis and her companions, everyone finally completely repaired Hero City, restoring everything to its original state.
Everything had settled down, but Lian Lan also stated that she would remain in Hero City to guide the advanced puppets within the city.
Thus, it was time for farewells again.
“Miss Lian Lan, please, please take care of yourself…”
Actually, Lonis did not want to leave Lian Lan here alone.
But, what else could be done?
The curse from the Vast Sea could still not be dispelled, and for the girls, even if the curse was temporarily removed, new mutations would continue to occur in this city.
The only ones who could stay here were the Successors of the Rainbow Abyss, and the Heroes in puppet bodies.
“Mm-hmm, don’t worry about me. Because this is my home, after all.”
“Mm…”
“Besides, I’m not alone either. There are many people in the city, and I can talk with them.”
“Then, please take care, Lian Lan… Ah, right! If anything happens, be sure to contact us. This communication terminal will also be affected by the Vast Sea, but it should be able to contact the Time Shuttle.”
“Mm, thank you.”
“Lian Lan, keep it up. We… we still have to save the world together.”
…
Although Lonis was already a world-saving Hero, and had already found good companions like Su Ling and Senior!
However, compared to being a Hero, the relationships she had forged with everyone were more like classmates, best friends, and good friends… The one who truly treated her as a Hero was Lian Lan.
It was her confidence and bravery that inspired Lonis, allowing Lonis to take another step forward on the path to becoming a true Hero.
“Then, goodbye.”
“Mm, keep it up, Lonis!”
…
…
The ship thus slowly departed.
Compared to when they arrived, the journey back was much smoother. After all, with the threat of the Sea Tide Dragon gone, the remaining monsters were no longer a concern.
Therefore, this leg of the journey was relatively smooth, with no strange incidents occurring…
The peaceful days continued, and would continue until the end… Lonis thought so.
Until
“Wuwuwu, I got used to being a boy, and I didn’t expect being a girl to feel so strange again?”
“Huh?”
“Lonis-chan, how did you adapt? I feel like something is missing, and I’m especially insecure.”
Su Ling immediately hugged Lonis, and naturally, the pink-haired girl had also returned to her original body.
Her beautiful face, and a body like a giant hug pillow. This feeling of hugging Su Ling was so soft and comforting, making one instantly relax.
“Ah, that… for me… it just got better over time…”
“But I’ve developed the habit of peeing while standing, and I can’t really change it.”
“Eh?”
“Peeing while standing feels so good, it’s a feeling that girls can’t experience at all!”
“Ah, ah?”
Lonis’s pretty face blushed. She never expected that at such a moment, she would be exchanging experiences with Su Ling…
When she had first become a girl, she had also found using the toilet very inconvenient, always feeling a slight sense of constriction, and often couldn’t hold it in at all.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so terrified during the incident on the campus street after the black-hearted young lady activated level 1.
But, how could she share such an experience?
Just then, Senior Mixue walked over from the side.
Lonis, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, said, “Ah, it’s Senior Mixue, how have you been recently?”
“Wow, it’s sister!”
Attracted by Lonis like this, Zhou Suling’s attention was also drawn away.
“Mm, it’s Lonis… I’m fine. It’s just, do you guys feel like something is off about me now?”
“Off?”
“Mm, if you notice anything, please tell me.”
After speaking, Zhou Mixue stood before the two of them with her head held high and her chest out, posing like a runway model.
And Lonis?
She stared at the senior’s body for several rounds but couldn’t find anything out of place.
Her legs were long and slender, her figure tall and her chest full. Most importantly, Senior Zhou Mixue was still in her developmental stage. It was hard to imagine what she would grow into later…
…
However, at this moment…
Buzzzz~
“Wuwuwu!”
“Lonis?”
“No, it’s nothing… (Wife, I was wrong…)”
Lonis’s pretty face turned slightly red. She was only a little fickle, and Elus, who was in the cockpit, was already angry!
Meanwhile, Zhou Mixue looked worried and seemed not to have noticed the girl’s situation: “Mm, if even Lonis doesn’t notice anything strange, then I must have been overthinking.”
“W-what’s wrong?”
“Mm… Actually, after I eliminated the curse, I feel like my chest has become a little smaller?”
“Ah?!”
“But Lonis used to be a boy, so you should have a keen sense for chests, right? As long as it doesn’t look strange, I’m fine with it?”
Zhou Mixue stretched, as if putting her worries aside.
But Lonis felt too embarrassed to say…
The senior’s chest, in fact, was a little bigger than its original size.
It seemed that although the curse had been removed, the girls, as companions, had not truly recovered from the curse.
Everyone needed time to adapt to everything that the changes brought.
