Chapter 56: Life as a Little Loli
In the small auditorium within the City of Ruins, Lonis met with her brave companions.
As the City of Ruins was now considered the “main rear base,” free from the threats of Castor and the Trickster Demon, it was even safer than most cities on the surface.
Therefore, compared to their first visit, almost everyone was much more relaxed. Laughing and chatting, they walked into the room, ready to meet Elus.
However, no one expected…
…
“Huh? Elus, it’s only been a few days… Did you and Lonis have a baby already? That’s amazing!”
Mi Xue Zhou blushed slightly, speaking with surprise.
“Oh… It doesn’t seem like a direct birth, as it’s too fast. Where is Lonis? Are you in confinement?”
The Eight-tailed Fox swished her big tail, speaking with ill intentions.
“Huh? Is this little one Lonis’s baby? It looks so great, so cute!”
Su Ling rushed forward, seemingly eager to pinch the little loli’s cheeks.
…
Witnessing her companions’ reactions, countless “grass mud horses” galloped through Lonis’s heart!
What kind of situation is this? Why does everyone assume I had a baby as soon as they see me… Why can’t it be Elus who had the baby?
And it’s only been three days, how could the baby grow so big so quickly!
So Lonis pouted, preparing to protest seriously, explaining that she is indeed Lonis.
However…
…
“Woo, woo woo!”
“Ah, so fierce… but so cute!”
“Hmm, isn’t it true of Elus’s junior disciple’s child? There’s indeed a hint of personality inheritance in there?”
“Woo, woo woo!”
Later, because Lonis was so anxious she almost bit them, Elus finally spread her hands and briefly explained the situation.
Of course, regarding the part about Lonis’s illness, the girl did not describe it as severe, only lightly mentioning that Lonis was feeling a bit off.
And the girls?
Actually, they knew this little loli couldn’t possibly be the child of Elus and Lonis, so they were just teasing her.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect Lonis to play a loli so cute, it’s great, I want to keep a little Lonis at home too.”
“Woo woo!”
“There are many things we can learn from Lonis, such as her kind and simple eyes, it really fills one with a protective desire, Su Ling, you should learn a bit from her.”
“I’m not as silly as Lonis.”
“Woo woo!”
“Elus, big sister, can Cécile and I touch Lonis’s little hand? Just a touch… it feels so soft, so comfortable…”
“Of course, feel free, I recommend touching her little feet, they are very soft and comfortable!”
“Woo woo!”
…
…
And so, Lonis was surrounded by everyone like a mascot.
The girls, seeing this petite and cute silver-haired loli, could not resist stroking her head and poking her cheeks. Seeing Lonis’s silly expression, they couldn’t help but smile.
Even Lonis’s symbolic sounds of resistance were considered sounds of joy, and they petted her as they pleased.
…
Of course, although such behavior was embarrassing and made Lonis blush, being so dearly loved by everyone also made Lonis feel an indescribable beauty.
It felt like…
she had returned to her childhood, being the pearl in everyone’s hands.
After all, every girl genuinely liked her, and because Lonis had turned into a little loli, there was no need to worry about adult matters like “harem,” “girls sticking together,” “not suitable for young girls,” etc… All she needed was to be held in everyone’s embrace, enjoying the joy of happiness.
…
As for Elus?
She also seemed to enjoy everyone liking Lonis. Although she wanted this moment to last, after lunch with the girls, it was time to get back to serious business.
…
“Well, that’s it. Now that the break time is over, I need to get to work. Who can help me look after Lonis, the idiot?”
“Woah?”
Hearing that she was about to leave Elus, Lonis felt instinctively panicked… Of course, this wasn’t the dependency of a younger sister on an older sister, but among all the girls, only Elus could understand what she said.
If it were other girls, they might not even know when Lonis wanted to go to the bathroom, and she might end up being held tightly, resulting in both hands becoming wet, which would be quite embarrassing!
So…
“Sister Elus, Lonis doesn’t seem to want to leave you?”
“Mm, Bai Ye… Please understand, this little idiot is just timid? But next, I need to go with the Eight-tailed Fox to Silent Leaf’s side to test some inventory weapons, I can’t possibly hold this little one while shooting, right?”
“Then… how about Bai Ye holds Lonis and takes care of her temporarily?”
“Good, let’s do that! Lonis the idiot, don’t disturb my work later.”
“Woo ah…”
…
…
That’s how it turned out.
Because the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom possessed many high-level weapons that had not yet been defined, the purpose of this trip for the girls was not only to rescue Lonis but also to evaluate the lethality of these weapons, to see if they could be brought back for use.
Held by Bai Ye, Lonis followed Elus and the Eight-tailed Fox’s footsteps into this military factory.
The hazy steam, accompanied by the clattering sounds, came into view of a scene filled with large gears, unadorned metal corridors, and massive machines filled with various magic gemstones.
Under Castor’s influence, all the styles of the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom were practical and cost-effective. To maximize work efficiency, while passing through many corridors, you couldn’t even see a handrail, and if you weren’t careful, you could fall into the machines, turning into a blur of flesh and blood. Therefore, Lonis behaved very obediently. She didn’t move around, just stayed quietly in Bai Ye’s arms, moving forward together.
…
“Eight-tailed Fox, is this your past arsenal area? It looks like the utilization rate of magic gemstones is quite low?”
“Yeah, that’s because the magic gemstones underground are relatively scarce, so we don’t rely on using them there.
But if we change our approach, there are many new weapons ahead.”
…
Lonis didn’t understand much of what Elus said, but that didn’t stop her from experiencing the world anew with a childlike sense of wonder.
The most important thing first… was that she didn’t have to walk.
Although it might seem embarrassing to others, being held in a girl’s arms, pressed against their chests, was really very comfortable.
So fragrant, so soft, it was simply amazing.
Secondly, even if Lonis gazed around the surrounding buildings with curiosity, it wouldn’t seem out of place or strange.
Because that’s just what children do?
Filled with curiosity about the whole world, and Lonis’s heart truly seemed to become that of a little loli, discovering so many interesting things…
