Chapter 12: Training from the Night~
After this, Lonis couldn’t remember how she got back.
She only felt drenched in sweat, her body stumbling, and nearly falling to the ground several times.
Fortunately, once she left the commercial district, there were few pedestrians at night. Otherwise, you would definitely see a silver-haired girl with flushed cheeks, as if enduring something, walking with unsteady steps.
…
“I-I’m finally back.”
By the time Lonis saw the magical airship, she was drenched in sweat. Her bangs and clothes were all clinging to her skin.
The sweat that flowed down soaked her stockings and eventually gathered in her high heels, making Lonis’s feet feel damp and extremely uncomfortable.
However, there was a small buckle on her high heels, which made it impossible for her to take them off on normal days. She could only shakily push open the door.
…
Meanwhile, Elus was sitting on the sofa, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
“Hmph hmph, you still know how to come back?”
The black-haired girl crossed her right leg over her left, exuding a confident air… Although her eyes were slightly lower than Lonis, who was standing, they seemed to scrutinize her like a toy from above, filled with disdain.
“I… I…”
At this moment, Lonis could no longer hold on. Her body went limp, and she slumped onto the floor.
But even so, Elus did not stop pressing the switch. The black-haired girl smiled faintly and took out a map from her chest.
“Lonis, after work, you didn’t come home on time as I ordered, but instead wandered around… Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to punish you?”
“No… it’s not, I… ahh!”
Soon, Lonis couldn’t even speak, because the remote control’s level had increased by one.
And Elus’s normally relaxed expression revealed a hint of annoyance.
“Hmph, I’ve been busy for two days and I thought my exclusive maid would have hot water ready for me and give me a shoulder rub… but I didn’t expect you to dare to run around?”
“Wuwu?!”
“Tonight, I’ll make you stay like this… Hmph hmph, look forward to this despair, you masochistic perverted maid!”
…
…
At this moment, Elus was actually a little angry.
According to her original plan, she should still be preparing for the entrance exam in the library… After all, entering the library was expensive, and Elus didn’t have much time left.
However, worried that Lonis might be scared sleeping alone at night, she had returned tonight.
But Elus didn’t expect Lonis to still not be back… So in a fit of anger, Elus pressed the switch.
After all, since this guy has such a masochistic personality, maybe she even hopes to be bullied for a whole night!
…
However, even Elus didn’t expect this.
Because she had worked all night, and had been “played with” all the way back.
At this moment, Lonis didn’t even have the strength to kneel on the ground. With a thud, she knelt on the floor.
And the shopping bag in her arms rolled out.
…
“A book?”
Elus frowned and gazed at the text on the book—”Introduction to Archaeology.”
The thick book had hundreds of pages. Aside from academic purposes, such a book was definitely not needed.
“Lonis, why did you buy this kind of book?”
“I…”
Lonis wanted to reply, but her body could no longer support her to do so.
Lonis felt fatigue surge into her mind, and her body completely fainted from exhaustion and weariness.
…
…
“Damn it, she’s not even answering her master’s words anymore.”
Although she said words of great anger, Elus’s expression became very complicated as she looked at the unconscious silver-haired girl, as if her previous annoyance was fake.
She sighed, turned off the remote control, then picked up Lonis and gently “placed” her on the bed.
“Hmm… there’s also ‘C. Academy Entrance Exam Guide.’ What does Lonis intend to do? Does she think I need this kind of thing… Wait a minute, this girl, she isn’t planning to go to school too, is she?”
Elus’s body trembled. With a moment’s thought, she understood Lonis’s intention: this foolish maid must be unwilling to remain just a maid and wants to use “knowledge to change her fate”!
“How foolish! You didn’t add intelligence to your talent, do you think you can instantly become a top student?”
The entrance exam for C. Academy was not easy. Even someone like Elus needed seven days to study for it, let alone the completely ignorant Lonis.
…
However, after seeing the subjects Lonis intended to apply for, the black-haired girl smiled slightly.
“Oh? She’s not completely stupid. She even knows to choose this subject! But… does she think that by being from the previous epoch, she can answer historical questions correctly?”
Elus took out a pencil and began to sketch and modify the book.
History is not that simple~
Throughout the dynasties, history has been revised and embellished. People only want useful and beneficial historical records to be passed down, while more truths are completely buried in the long river of history, unknown.
And the evaluation of some historical issues in later generations will also change due to the political situation of contemporary society, so…
…
“Well, this should be about right.”
After writing for an hour, Elus closed the book.
The black-haired girl stretched. Although she was not an ordinary person, working continuously for 40 hours without rest still made her feel genuinely tired.
However, thanks to the book Lonis bought, Elus found a new direction.
“Hmph, if that’s the case, then I’ll study archaeology too… I read many related books to understand that idiot’s past back then. It’s just in time.”
…
Lonis didn’t know how long she had been unconscious.
She felt that she had slept very soundly.
This was not only because she had finally made the decision she had long awaited in her heart, but also because there was a very familiar sense of companionship around her, which made her feel extremely at ease!
Thus, Lonis slept exceptionally comfortably. When she woke up, it was already…
…
“Huh? It’s already 1:30 PM?! E-Elus Master?!”
Lonis sat up and was about to apologize to Elus, hoping she wouldn’t punish her with her small toy anymore.
However, the magical airship was empty. Apart from herself, there was no movement.
This feeling of being alone made Lonis feel a sense of peace, but also a sense of inexplicable loss… It seemed that Elus had already left a long time ago.
“Was it because I was bullied too much last night?”
Although Lonis still had lingering fear when she recalled last night’s ravaging, her heart did not harbor any hatred towards Elus.
Because in the end, it was all because she forgot the time and didn’t return to the ship on time.
“Sigh, I’ll worry about that later. I need to wash up and study at the coffee shop with my books.”
