Chapter 8 : Forcibly Injected White Liquid
As if her mental pillar had collapsed, Lonis froze completely.
The black-haired girl smiled wickedly and said to her: "What's wrong? Aren't you going to open the coffin and take a look?"
"Take a look...?"
"Mm, your corpse is inside. But after all these years, it should have turned to bones by now~"
"!"
Lonis was scared stiff. She looked at the coffin lid in front of her, clearly wanting to open it to confirm everything, but her outstretched hands were trembling and weak.
Illusion, dream?
So all of that was just her fantasy...
She had never become a world-saving hero—all of this was just a dream woven for others to take care of her.
A sense of powerlessness enveloped her entire body, making Lonis want to involuntarily collapse to the ground.
However, at this moment, Elucia frowned:
"I say, although you're a bit masochistic as a silver-haired girl, don't give up hope!"
"Huh...?"
"Although that was a virtual world, you were still the only savior. There were so many humans here, but only you succeeded."
"Wh-what does that mean?"
"It means..."
The black-haired girl furrowed her delicate brows, saying with an expression of 'I really can't do anything about you': "Congratulations, you at least succeeded in the dream world. Now you can be led by me to save the world in the real world~"
......
Was Elucia comforting her?
What happened to the others?
Lonis didn't know, but after saying these words, Elucia smiled slightly and directly took her hand:
"Hmph, there's no point in staying here any longer. If you don't want to die as a corpse, come with me."
"Huh...?"
"Or would you rather I put a collar on you and drag you away by force?"
......
......
Lonis had thought Elucia would take her to an interrogation room or similar place to continue the training.
But unexpectedly, she brought her to a bar-like room and sat comfortably on a long chair: "Seeing that you haven't fully recovered yet, just this once... what would you like to drink?"
"Drink something..."
Lonis's face flushed red. She remembered that when she was a hero, she had drunk a lot of alcohol.
But no matter how much she drank, she would only get slightly excited and never got drunk... At the time, Lonis thought she had exceptional talent, but now it seemed this might also have been a system setting.
So Lonis hesitated like an inexperienced young lady, very afraid that she would completely lose composure after drinking even a little alcohol.
However, Elucia blinked and said:
"Hmph hmph, you really are a masochist. You can't even decide such a simple thing yourself... In that case, let me, your beautiful girl master, prepare a drink for you... Hmph, I'm going to use that white, creamy strange liquid to completely fill your mouth."
"Huh? White and creamy?"
"Yes, you can't escape."
"No, don't... (I'm going to be made to drink that kind of thing, no, no!)"
Lonis was so scared she was beside herself. XX beverages—she had only seen them in certain small anime.
Although she wanted to run away, Elucia, who had opened the cabinet, showed a confused expression:
"Wh-what's wrong? Why is there no milk?"
"Huh? (Milk?)"
"Damn it, I finally had something I could make you drink... damn it."
Elucia furrowed her delicate brows, as if she deeply detested milk and really wanted to pour this liquid into Lonis's mouth.
After searching around and not finding any milk, Elucia clenched her fists and viciously vented her anger on Lonis:
"Ha, what are you looking at? Slave maid, who gave you permission to look directly at your master?"
"Huh?!"
"Lower your head. You masochist slave only deserve to look up at my toes."
Although Elucia spoke very arrogantly, Lonis discovered... Elucia's legs were really very beautiful!
The girl's figure was already tall, and paired with pitch-black high heels that exposed her toes and hazy black stockings, she looked very seductive.
Speaking of which, if Elucia had silver hair and a gentler, more caring personality, she would really be her ideal companion type.
After all, with such a good figure, if she could wear a wedding dress, she would definitely be able to...
......
However, perhaps Lonis had been staring at the girl's toes for too long~
Elucia actually laughed in anger and mocked: "I told you to look and you actually looked—how shameless. In that case... then kneel down and lick them properly."
"Huh?!"
"Lowly maid, hurry up and crawl down."
Being commanded like this, Lonis froze in place again.
She knew that some masochistic boys really liked licking girls' toes... Being commanded like this, tasting that slightly salty and sour flavor, boys would actually become even more excited.
But Lonis was a world-saving hero, even if from a virtual world, she was still a hero.
Her self-respect and machismo made her completely unable to do such a thing...
However, if she didn't follow orders, she would definitely be trained by Elucia.
She might be tied to a chair and have those switches in her clothes turned on again. And being bullied like that would definitely be more embarrassing than now.
(So, should I go lick them...)
Lonis swallowed deeply. She stared at Elucia's toes, seeming to want to get up and kneel down.
However, at this moment
Rumble!
Not far away, a violent impact sound suddenly came!
Immediately after, the entire floor seemed to shake, and Lonis also lost her balance and collapsed onto the table.
"It's a Class 5 Tail Hammer Beast... damn it, because the energy ran out, they discovered this place?"
"Huh?"
"Huh what huh, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and come out with me!"
After saying this, the black-haired girl could no longer bother with teasing Lonis and grabbed her hand, running outside at high speed.
......
Rumble!
Another impact, and quite a few fragments fell from the ceiling.
This underground laboratory was already in disrepair, and now it was like it was collapsing, with steel beams groaning... Lonis was really afraid that if she wasn't careful, the entire tunnel would collapse and bury her inside.
However, Elucia seemed to know the terrain around here well, winding around and always finding safe paths, leading Lonis forward.
However, the bad thing happened at this moment.
"Wah!"
Perhaps her muscles simply hadn't recovered, or perhaps Lonis wasn't used to going up stairs in high heels... Although she was concentrating fully, she still missed a step with her left foot and fell to the ground.
Thud!
Her right foot also failed to support her body, and instead, due to her body weight, her right ankle twisted with a "crack."
"You... you idiot!"
"S-sorry!"
The intense pain made Lonis break out in cold sweat. Although her body could heal itself, it wasn't something that could be completed in a short time.
If she continued to run hard, it would mean that with every step Lonis took, she would experience hysterical torment—that pain would be like having a nail driven into your thigh and then making you sprint 100 meters.
Lonis had thought Elucia would abandon her or force her to run. But she never expected...
"Crawl!"
"Huh?"
"I have important business to attend to. You crawl up these stairs! Three hours later, we'll meet at the teleportation point in the upper hall! And..."
The black-haired girl drew the sword from her waist and said very seriously: "Don't think about running away alone, you perverted masochist girl!"
