Chapter 72: An Ordinary Morning
Lonis slept soundly because she slept with Elusia.
As a result, Lonis woke up refreshed the next day, feeling extremely comfortable.
“Haa, so comfortable…”
“Hmph hmph, you’re awake, idiot Lonis? Unfortunately, the enemies have already reached our doorstep.”
“Haa?”
Hearing Elusia’s words, Lonis jumped up in fright. She looked around, her tail completely on end!
However…
It was still peaceful.
Looking around, it was a very cozy bedroom, and Elusia was wearing pajamas, just lying beside her.
“Haa, you’re so silly, you get like this just from a scare. How embarrassing will it be when we fight the Land of Eternity later?”
“Wu ah?”
Lonis blushed as she realized Elusia was teasing her.
So she quickly sat up and said with great “anger”:
“Elusia, what time is it, and you’re still teasing me!”
“Hmph hmph, of course I have to tease you? Because a beautiful day must start with bullying an idiot maid.”
“Ah?”
“Stand there obediently, get dressed first, and then come serve me to get dressed.”
“Wu ah…”
…
Although the decisive battle was imminent, Lonis still had to serve the Young Lady to change clothes, which seemed a bit strange.
However, since it was Elusia’s order, she could only comply… Taking out clothes from the wardrobe, Lonis dutifully served by the bedside and said:
“Young Lady Elusia, it’s time to get up~”
“Mm mm, that’s more like it. Bring me my clothes.”
…
…
And so, without much time, Elusia’s clothes were put on, and she looked completely refreshed.
It must be said that ordinary girls generally need to wear makeup, applying some eyeshadow and lip gloss to look dazzling, but Elusia didn’t need it at all. Just standing there made people feel very beautiful~
…
“Elusia, that…”
“Hmph hmph, why are you staring at me, idiot Lonis? You’re captivated by this Princess’s charm.”
“Ah?”
“Sigh, it’s not surprising. After all, I am a proper princess. So it’s your honor that I’m inviting you to have breakfast together next, right?”
“Ah, then… that…?”
…
Although she didn’t know what had happened, Lonis felt that Elusia was very happy today.
Even though they were about to confront the Land of Eternity, Elusia was smiling as if she wasn’t nervous at all…
Even Lonis felt no sense of crisis.
(It doesn’t feel like challenging a strong enemy, but more like going on an outing… Sigh, it suddenly feels like when I first started adventuring.)
…
Since Elusia was in a good mood, Lonis didn’t say much more. She simply took the Black-haired Girl’s hand and they walked towards the dining hall together.
The bedroom was some distance from the dining hall, and usually, when Lonis passed by, she would always see staff members running around.
But for some reason today, Lonis didn’t see anyone along the way, and not even her companion’s figure.
And when they walked into the dining hall, the lavish breakfast was already laid out.
Not only were there small cakes, small dumplings, and small mantou, but there was even some seafood brought back from the future… The luxurious variety didn’t look like breakfast at all.
…
“Elusia, these…”
“Mm, these foods were all prepared by everyone? Look, like that little bun, Zhisheng Luo and Senior Mi Xue Zhou worked on it for a long time.”
“Oh, i-is that so…”
Although… her companions hadn’t appeared yet.
But…
Tasting the food, Lonis’s mind faintly conjured up images of everyone working diligently.
Su Ling was rolling out the dough, while Bai Ye was taking the bread out of the oven.
This breakfast undoubtedly contained everyone’s intentions.
It was just that, why hadn’t her companions appeared at this moment?
…
Lonis looked up, and her gaze met Elusia’s face:
“Sigh, why does the little idiot ask so many questions? All of you are really not making me worry less.”
“Wu ah…”
“Never mind, it’s about time. Actually, before we depart, we won’t be having a farewell breakfast with everyone… There are two reasons for this: one is that Cécile and Candelle were very tired yesterday, and they are still sleeping now.”
“Ah?!”
“The second is that if we have a farewell breakfast now, it will seem too much like a death flag. We will survive safely, so there’s no need to have a farewell gathering at this time?”
“I-is that so?!”
…
Lonis blinked her eyes, somewhat understanding Elusia’s intentions.
In fact, to protect everyone’s safety, in this battle to attack the Land of Eternity, only she and Elusia would be the main force. If anything were to happen, perhaps this would be the last time she would see everyone.
If she were to say goodbye with such a feeling, would she hesitate during the battle?
Therefore…
Do not hesitate.
Do not flinch.
Everyone’s feelings have already gathered here.
Along with this breakfast, it has already entered her stomach.
So…
…
“Elusia, next… let’s go fight. I’m ready.”
Lonis took a deep breath, her courage fully mustered.
However…
“Idiot Fox, it’s not that fast. Before we depart for battle, there’s still a very important matter!”
“An important matter…?”
“That’s right, come with me quickly. This is also something everyone prepared. Hurry!”
…
Elusia blinked her eyes and thusly took Lonis’s hand, walking in a certain direction.
This was an area Lonis had never set foot in, and she didn’t know if it was deliberately arranged this way: the lights along the way were very hazy, giving the illusion of walking through a galaxy tunnel.
…
(Elusia…)
…
As if her mood was infected by this atmosphere, Lonis’s mood became somewhat peculiar.
As if receiving a calling from fate, Lonis felt a faint connection, echoing slowly between herself and the Black-haired Girl.
Was that…
Her promise with Elusia?
Although Lonis had made an eternal oath with Elusia the moment she awakened in the Land of Eternity, this promise had never been as clear and as deeply felt as it was now.
This oath contained courage, it contained trust, it contained all the memorable things from those times, and it had never faded from beginning to end.
And now, it was time to fulfill that promise.
So…
…
Lonis’s fingers touched the door.
And Elusia’s palm touched the other side.
Although there was no verbal communication, both girls already understood each other’s thoughts…
…
(Lonis, are you ready?)
(Yes, I’m ready.)
…
The girls pushed the door open together with all their might.
And what met their eyes.
Was…
