Chapter 57 Black Night
The trump card was very effective. Upon hearing the words, Lonis’s tail stood on end!
“Elus, very disappointed?”
“Yes, although she didn’t express it particularly, the current situation makes us very worried… I and Isumi want to comfort her, but we feel that only Lonis can accomplish this.”
“I… I understand!!!”
…
It’s also very strange.
Just now, Lonis was very dispirited and dejected. But as soon as she heard that her wife was dispirited, she immediately became spirited and passionate~
Why is that?
Lonis thought about it carefully, and realized it might be her hero’s instinct at work! After all, as a boy, she absolutely couldn’t let her wife cry!
The thought of Elus hiding in the shadows, secretly shedding tears, made Lonis unable to bear it any longer.
“Senior, where is Elus?”
“Well… we met her at the 3D printing room earlier, and now I don’t know where she went.”
“I know, I’ll go find her… Well, thank you seniors!”
…
Lonis held her head high and advanced with high spirits.
On the way forward, Lonis had already begun to analyze various countermeasures.
For example, Elus might not want to talk to her and might kick her away! At that time, she would shamelessly grab her wife’s ankle and refuse to let go.
For example, Elus might pretend to be fine and ask her to rest! At that time, she would hug Elus and gently stroke her head!
For example, Elus might dislike her for being a little idiot, so she would admit to being a little idiot, act cute, wag her tail, and jump around shamelessly. As long as it made her wife happy!
…
…
But then?
Although Lonis had thought of many countermeasures, none of them were used.
Because…
She couldn’t find Elus’s location at all!
Although Princess Cécile and Su Ling said they had seen Elus just now, in the blink of an eye, everyone didn’t know where the black-haired girl had gone.
Lonis also searched the entire research lab from top to bottom, but found no clues.
…
…
(Wuwu… Could it be that Elus is hiding from me? Because she didn’t want me to see her embarrassed appearance, she hid by herself?)
This possibility is very high, because Lonis had done the same thing just now.
“Well, even if it’s digging my own grave, I will find Elus! I can use my trump card!”
…
Lonis knew that Elus could sense her feelings.
And for this black-hearted girl? The most unbearable thing was for her to call her in a husband’s tone.
So…
“Little wife Elus, where are you! Stop crying, husband Lonis will come to comfort you, hug you, don’t cry~~~”
As expected, this move was very effective. As soon as Lonis finished speaking, she felt a killing intent coming from her back.
And then…
“Wuwu… Wuah!”
“Hmph!”
With a soft snort from the girl, Lonis was dragged away.
…
…
—————
…
…
Elus’s speed was so fast that before Lonis could react, she was dragged into a room by Elus.
It was pitch black here, with no lights on, only an open screen at the end of the room playing a pure white image.
And Lonis?
She was pushed to the corner by Elus, who said:
“Little idiot fox, what do you want!”
“Ah…”
It must be said that Elus was very imposing.
Even though Lonis had thought of many countermeasures, facing such a beautiful and proud girl, her brain short-circuited for a moment, and she said, “Ah, I… that…”
“Hmph, little fox must think I’m very dispirited now, right? Because General Tas left, so you’re dispirited?”
“Ah, wuwu…”
Elus was too amazing. Seeing her blurt out such things so readily, Lonis’s brain turned into mush, and she had no idea what to say.
But…
Elus didn’t continue to interrogate her.
She just closed her eyes slightly and said slowly, “Mm… Little fox is thinking correctly, because the truth is indeed so.”
“Huh?”
“Even though so many years have passed, even though I thought I had experienced so much, when I saw my companion fall in front of me again, I… I still…”
Although Elus’s actions were still strong.
But her palms couldn’t stop trembling.
And Lonis?
She also took a deep breath.
She knew that even after experiencing time and twists and turns, that kind of instinctive personality could never be changed.
Just like being bitten by a big wolf dog when she was a child, no matter how strong she became, she would still be afraid of wolf dogs.
Time turned into memories, remaining in the depths of our souls.
But… is this a curse?
Lonis didn’t think so.
It is precisely because we have experienced so many hardships that we can be called human, that we are complete selves.
Whether it’s those sad, happy, painful, or unhappy moments.
They are all a part of our lives, so…
…
Lonis gently hugged the black-haired girl, saying nothing, just letting her cheek rest lightly on Elus’s shoulder.
“Lo, Lonis?”
The black-haired girl blinked her eyes.
Although she wanted to pretend to be strong, in the end, she didn’t resist Lonis anymore, and only said in a different tone than usual, softly:
“General Tas took good care of me before?”
“Ah…”
“That was when we were in the Snow Kingdom. Once, my small trees that I was carrying died because of the cold wave. I was so anxious that I cried everywhere, and it was General Tas who comforted me.”
“……”
“He said that the tree seedling had also worked hard, it was just unlucky? If we plant another one next spring, it will definitely grow up successfully and become a big tree.”
“!”
“Perhaps because of that incident, in addition to his work, General Tas also started reading books about plants and liked planting them. In the cold Snow Kingdom, it is really difficult to make plants grow luxuriantly, but General Tas has a luxuriant courtyard. And I also know that after retirement, General Tas plans to open a snow-covered farm and live a peaceful and leisurely retirement life.”
“No wonder, at that time…”
“Yes, so. I hope to make up for this regret, I hope General Tas can enjoy the true happiness of life. But…”
Elus slowly rested her head on Lonis’s shoulder.
Although as of now, everything seems irreversible.
But the embrace from a lover…
It was like a lonely lamp in the dark night,
Faint, but truly, providing the light to continue moving forward for each other.
