Chapter 15 Underground Commercial Street
“Wuwu…”
Lonis’s cheeks flushed red as Elus helped her out of the coffee shop.
Although Lonis seemed to be taken care of, only she herself knew… Elus was definitely going to bully her.
Because Elus not only didn’t let her release her magic power, but also said with a strange smile, “Hehehe, what was with that disappointed look when you looked at me just now?”
“Huh?”
“You’re not being good, you need to be properly trained~~”
…
Lonis didn’t know where Elus was taking her, but the direction they were heading was clearly not back to the magic ship.
The two walked westward, and gradually, the surrounding pedestrians and shops became sparse… On the quiet street, a man in a leather jacket was standing guard, and when he saw Elus approaching, he showed an excited expression.
“Are we starting now?”
“Yes, this is the reservation code.”
“Okay, please rest assured.”
After receiving the bazooka sniper that Elus handed over, the man acted quickly as if he had been injected with adrenaline.
He came to a seemingly abandoned building and pushed hard, lifting a wooden board.
What greeted them was a passage leading underground… The stairs were covered with ash, such as cigarette butts, and looked a bit dirty.
Elus, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed, carrying Lonis down.
…
(W-What is Elus going to do to me?)
Since becoming a girl, Lonis’s body has developed an instinctive fear of underground and darkness… She didn’t know what was at the end of the stairs, but something built underground was definitely not a good place.
It might be a dungeon, or it might be some strange shop.
But even though she was a little scared, Lonis had no strength to escape. She could only be helped by Elus and walk downwards.
…
At the end of the stairs was a long, narrow street that looked like an underground shopping mall.
Neon signs stood on one side, and many shops were blocked by rolling shutters, seemingly not open.
And upon seeing Elus’s ticket, a strong man actively greeted them.
“Room 9 is empty, this way.”
“I didn’t expect your business to still be so good?”
“Of course, there are always people who want to have fun. And since this kind of thing can’t be done openly, we have to do it.”
“Mhmm.”
Elus followed the strong man’s pace.
Seeing this scene, Lonis’s heart became even more uneasy… because she remembered a place that only existed in the past, the brothel.
The scent of sweat lingering in her nostrils, the sound of muscles colliding, and the cries of selling oneself.
If Lonis, as a hero, was not interested in brothels at all, it would be impossible.
After all, wouldn’t every boy fantasize about such a lewd thing?
But now that she had become a girl, Lonis only felt fear towards brothels… She didn’t want to become a doll, with men venting their desires on her at will.
“El-Elus…”
“Don’t talk to me now.”
Elus’s cold reply made Lonis’s heart chill.
Could this black-haired girl be selling her to a brothel because she saw her working at the maid cafe too comfortably?
To torture herself, to make her earn more money.
(Wuwu! I don’t want to be pushed down by men, absolutely not!!)
Thinking of this, Lonis became even more fearful. The strong man walked to a closed iron door and said to Elus, “This is it, how long do you want to rent it for?”
“What’s the longest time you have here?”
“The longest is 8 hours, right? After all, most people can’t handle it for that long.”
“Okay, then prepare 8 hours for me.”
“Here you go~”
Taking the money from Elus, the strong man left with satisfaction.
The black-haired girl then “dragged” Lonis into the room.
The moment Lonis saw the scene inside, she was stunned.
Because although the room was like a large suite in a hotel, with a bed, a desk, and a refrigerator.
At the end of the room, a terrifyingly exaggerated chair was placed.
It was cast entirely of metal, and both the armrests and the legs of the chair were designed with very sturdy leather straps.
Although the chair had a streamlined design, Lonis found metal pieces like electrodes in many places.
If she were to sit on it, her whole body would be tightly bound to the chair, and if the straps were fastened, she wouldn’t even be able to move her body.
(Is this… an electric chair?)
Thinking of the horror of the electric chair, Lonis was scared silly—had Elus finally decided that playing with her with small toys wasn’t enough and was going to use real torture instruments?
The silver-haired girl wanted to kneel and beg for mercy, begging Elus not to bully her like this. But the black-haired girl just kept a stern face and said coldly, “Sit on it.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t make me say it a second time, or do you… want me to tie you up by force.”
Resistance was impossible. In such a confined room, even if Lonis screamed her lungs out, no one would come to save her.
“Elus, then, I…”
“Hmph, enjoy the ‘hospitality’ that follows, you masochistic maid.”
After Lonis sat on the chair, Elus leaned down and tightly bound her torso and limbs to the chair.
The leather straps dug into her muscles, completely preventing Lonis from struggling and escaping.
But that wasn’t enough… Elus also took out a metal hood from another cabinet.
It resembled the helmet of an ancient warrior, except that the parts for the eyes and ears were blocked… If she were to put on the hood, Lonis would not be able to see anything, and her head would be fixed, unable to even shake her head.
“Elus, I’m sorry, I was wrong! Please, please don’t bully me… I’m sorry, I’ll fix it!!!!”
At this moment, Lonis no longer cared about her dignity.
She just wanted to beg for Elus’s understanding and not be tortured with such excessive torture instruments.
After all, her body only had “Happiness Conversion (Low)”, not “Happiness Conversion (High)”… If her body was continuously stimulated by electric current, she would definitely be ruined!
But Elus?
She showed no pity, just smiled slightly and retorted, “Oh, Lonis, what did you do wrong?”
“Huh? I…”
“You’ve been doing well these past few days, working at the maid cafe and earning pocket money.”
“Wuwu, wuwuwu!”
At this, Lonis knew that Elus was truly angry, so she could only cry and apologize, “I… I shouldn’t have stayed out at night, and I shouldn’t have wanted to apply for school without the master’s permission.”
As she said this, Lonis actually felt quite wronged: her original intention was to enroll together with Elus, but she didn’t expect this black-haired girl to be so disgusted by her actions.
“Oh, is that all?”
“Huh, these…”
“If it’s just these things, I won’t be able to stop my actions.”
After saying this, Elus took another step closer to Lonis, and the lacquered black hood seemed like it could cover her forehead at any moment.
So…
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry! Elus, please, wuwuwu… I don’t want to be tortured by electric current. As long as you let me go, I’ll do anything. Wuwu!”
In her desperation, Lonis even started crying, tears streaming down her cheeks, making the silver-haired girl look particularly pitiful.
However,
Elus “smiled coldly” and “straightforwardly” put the helmet on her head:
“Idiot, who told you this was an electric chair? This is the ‘Vihle Device’ from the previous epoch, I rented it for you to study!”
