Chapter 15: A Date in the Haunted House
Although it might not be appropriate to say so.
But walking side-by-side with Elus in the “Haunted House” gave Lonis a feeling similar to when they first departed.
At that time, she knew nothing about this world and only Elus could protect her. Although the two of them were often unwilling, it had to be said that this black-haired girl was really dependable, wasn’t she?
Just like now…
…
“Idiot big fox, you’re too close to me.”
“Wuwu, aren’t you the one pulling me, Elus?”
“I told you not to cling to me with your whole body, really, the magic will be strange like this!”
“Wuwu…”
…
But no matter what, with Elus by her side, Lonis wasn’t afraid of anything!
Thus, the two of them walked forward together.
…
But whether it was Lonis’s bad luck, or if her attention was entirely on Elus…
When they passed a corner, the silver-haired girl, not seeing clearly, stepped into a trap.
And then…
The clock suddenly rang.
…
“Gugugugu, gugugugu!”
“Wuwu!”
Facing the pigeons that suddenly flew out of the drawer, Lonis was almost scared to death!
She thought she was going to be attacked by pigeons and cut in half!
So Lonis was so scared that she almost hid under Elus’s skirt, which made the black-haired girl frown and say angrily:
“Idiot maid, are you a child? Why are you scared by such a trap!”
“Wuwu…”
“Hmph, if you’re timid, just follow behind this princess. Honestly be a pet.”
…
After saying that, Elus took the lead and walked in front of Lonis.
Even though Elus didn’t use any special abilities, her observation skills were already extraordinary. Soon, she found several small traps and successfully avoided them!
…
“Hmph, little idiot, did you see? This is the master’s strength.”
“Wuwu…”
“Someone like you should genuinely just serve tea and water at home and act cute forever!”
…
Elus held her head high, but then, they walked into a room.
This room looked very dark, with only a faint fluorescence flickering.
But in the center of the room, there was a box of cookies!
This was simply too strange. After all, how could there be cookies in a haunted house?
So this must be a trap!
However, Elus looked around and couldn’t find where the trap was coming from… so, the black-haired girl frowned and said to Lonis:
“Alright, idiot fox, it’s your turn to shine.”
“My turn to shine?”
“Yeah, isn’t there a box of cookies in the center of the room? Get it for me~~”
“Isn’t this an obvious trap, why do you still want to get it!”
“I told you to get it, so stop being so pushy… Hmph, this princess must eat any food she sees, and no one can stop me.”
“Wuwu, I knew you’d bully me…”
…
Although she didn’t want to touch the trap, in order to satisfy her wife’s taste buds, Lonis still nervously picked up the cookies.
The pitiful maid fox had her ears drooping, afraid that she would be tied up the next second or suffer some electric shock punishment!
But…
Everything was safe.
Lonis looked around and after confirming that she was truly alright, she let out a long sigh of relief and took down the cookies.
“E-Elus, it seems there’s no trap?”
“Hmph, strange, could it be… this is a reward room? Yeah, indeed, after passing so many traps, we should indeed receive a reward.”
“Mm…”
“Then, eat the cookies.”
The black-haired girl smiled confidently, ready to enjoy this delicious dessert.
However, it was only the next second…
…
“Wuwu, this is so spicy!”
“Eh?”
“Ah! How can there be such spicy cookies… Damn it, it must be Jessica, it must be Jessica’s trap!!!!!”
Elus was crying from the spiciness—Lonis rarely saw her wife cry, but now, Elus’s face was smeared with tears.
Fortunately, Lonis carried a water bottle with her, so she handed it over in time.
“Elus, water!”
“Damn it, that guy…”
After drinking the water, Elus’s reaction improved slightly.
However, the black-haired girl was still indignant and couldn’t control her anger: “Damn Jessica… How dare you put capsaicin in my favorite dessert, Jessica, you just wait!”
“Elus…”
“Hmph, little idiot, you’re not allowed to tell anyone about me getting spiciness just now! Got it?”
“G-Got it!”
Fearing that Elus would take her anger out on her, Lonis quickly nodded.
And Elus continued to walk without saying a word, trying to find Jessica to settle the score.
…
…
The two of them walked further in the haunted house, and after opening a wooden door, they arrived in a brand new room.
Like the previous room, this one wasn’t big, with a table only in the center.
But what was placed on the table?
It was even stranger!
Because it was a small picture book, and the cover was written: “Heroine’s Female Fall Collection!”
This made Lonis tremble with surprise, but Elus smiled slightly and said, “Mm, it seems everyone is quite understanding~~~ they even prepared something like this.”
“Elus, stop joking! How can there be such a thing? It’s too weird!”
…
Lonis’s cheeks were already flushed beyond control.
Although she really wanted to step forward and burn this damn book, she was afraid it was a trap, and she was also afraid of being bullied by Elus.
…
“Hmph hmph, such a book is natural, isn’t it? Because Lonis, you probably don’t know yet.”
“Don’t know…”
“Mm, although you’re very popular in various human kingdoms, the more popular you are, the more you’ll be fantasized about, right? There are already hundreds of fanbooks about you in the world!”
“What?!”
“However, most of them are pure love Yuri books. It’s rare to see something like this with multiple females. Who drew this…”
…
After saying that, Elus smiled and wanted to open the book.
But…
…
“N-No!”
Lonis quickly stepped forward and hugged the book into her arms.
Although if Elus really wanted to see it, she would definitely be able to see it later… but at least for now, Lonis still had some courage and didn’t want to lose face in front of Elus.
So the silver-haired girl hid her book, but her flushed face looked just like a girl who had accidentally walked into a men’s bathhouse.
…
Seeing her like this, Elus also smiled slightly and mocked:
“Tsk tsk, little idiot, seeing your soft and weak appearance like this, and you still want to protect your negligible male self-esteem?”
“Wuwu…”
“Alright, then I won’t look here. But idiot fox, when you secretly watch it alone, remember not to make too much noise, okay? Otherwise, if someone hears it, they’ll think I, the master, am incompetent and haven’t satisfied you.”
“Who would secretly watch it?”
“Oh, don’t you want to see it? Don’t you want to see what people imagine you to be like?”
“!”
“Or perhaps, little idiot, you want me to catch you when you’re watching? And then have me reenact everything in the book in reality?”
Elus quietly walked forward and lifted Lonis’s chin with her finger.
