Chapter 11 : Shameful Play on Ice and Snow
"Th-this kind of thing..."
Lonis's face flushed red. Although she was somewhat perverted, she had never thought of putting a collar on her companion.
But the current situation was that if she didn't put it on...
"If you don't obey, bad things will happen!"
"Huh?"
"I was originally going to take you to the toilet, but if you're going to be this disobedient... hehe~"
Although her body had become a little loli, Elucia's appearance still carried the same unquestionable dignity as when she was a girl.
And for Lonis, wearing a collar was better than the torture of not being able to use the toilet.
So, despite some reluctance, the girl could only grip the collar tightly with her index finger and put it around her neck.
(So, so embarrassing...)
Accompanied by the click of the small metal lock closing, Lonis also shamefully closed her eyes.
But unlike what she had imagined, although the pure white collar slightly restricted her breathing, when worn around her neck it didn't cause much discomfort.
Instead, that inch of skin seemed to be under protection, feeling a bit ticklish and very secure.
......
"Mm, not bad. Now you finally look a bit like a slave maid."
"Ugh..."
"Alright, let's go."
"G-go where..."
"To save the world, that's our mission."
"S-save the world?!"
Lonis was stunned. She hadn't expected to hear such words from Elucia's mouth.
"Are you stupid? If we don't save the world, what did you want to do by reviving again... accept my training and torment?"
"Uh..."
Lonis was embarrassed to say that she really had thought that way... After all, so many things had happened recently that she had long forgotten the original purpose of saving the world:
"Looking like this, can I still... save the world?"
"Of course not, so you need my leadership."
"Huh?!"
"To be precise, because you set yourself up to be too weak... I, as your companion, became very strong. Your job is to warm my bed every day, give massages, cook meals. Accept my teasing, please my eyes every day, and become my dress-up doll!"
"Ugh ugh..."
Every word Elucia said was like a judgment that made Lonis want to cry.
She had indeed set the silver-haired girl's body like this because she had such thoughts... but she had never thought that the roles would be reversed!
And this black-haired little loli had a fiercer personality than boys, bullying her at the slightest disagreement.
"Did you hear me? If you heard me, bark once."
"Th-this kind of thing..."
"It seems you haven't learned your lesson yet. Then, you're not allowed to use the toilet until tonight. Hehe, I really love watching beautiful girls who can't hold it in and leak~!"
"Ugh ugh... woof!"
After barking, Lonis looked ashen.
She knew that no matter how she struggled, she couldn't escape this little loli's clutches.
(What kind of terrible treatment am I going to receive?)
"See, aren't you obedient? Little dog, hurry up and come with me."
"Uh..."
So just like that, being led by the collar, Lonis followed Elucia's figure, walking upward all the way.
The environment here was very similar to the previous underground laboratory, still dilapidated, with even the stairs worn smooth by time.
What was different was that whether it was the height of the passages or the wall decorations, everything looked much smaller than before.
......
Walking along, Lonis could even feel a hint of cold in the air.
(Are we almost at the surface...)
Lonis looked up. Although she had many questions she wanted to ask Elucia, fearing being teased, the silver-haired girl could only give up.
Finally, after advancing for an hour, the two came to a pitch-black iron door. This door was somewhat like a bank vault's security door, with a full 3 keyholes.
"Take this, don't freeze to death."
"Huh?"
Lonis was stunned, seeing that Lonis threw her a small sachet.
Although she didn't know how it was made, just holding it in her palm, Lonis felt an indescribable warmth spreading throughout her body. It was like being covered by warm velvet, toasty and warm.
And Elucia walked to the iron door, examining something:
"Damn, has this aged..."
Elucia used all her strength to open the iron door, and a cold wind carrying snowflakes rushed into the passage.
"So, so cold!"
Despite being prepared, Lonis still shivered from the cold.
Outside the door was vast falling snow, howling cold winds blowing across the black ridges, decorating everything in silver.
"Alright, come out with me."
And Elucia, as if completely unable to feel the cold, stepped into the snow.
"Huh... come out, just like this?"
Lonis was dumbfounded. She was still wearing open-toed high heels and a short dress, and her stockings didn't look warm at all. If she went out, wouldn't she freeze to death instantly?
Seeing the silver-haired girl's hesitant expression, the black-haired little loli frowned again and said viciously:
"I've already given you the Protection Warm Jade, and you're still unwilling to come out?"
"Huh?!"
"In that case, I'll strip off all your clothes and make you, this perverted masochist, advance through the snow wearing only underwear!"
"S-sorry!"
Afraid of angering Elucia, Lonis quickly ran out.
Although she had felt somewhat cold in the passage earlier, amazingly, once she stepped into the snow, Lonis felt no cold at all.
Even stepping on the snow with both feet felt like stepping on cotton, only bringing a soft illusion.
And the high-platform Lolita boots that Elucia wore also proved useful in the snow... Her steps were very steady, looking like she was walking on flat ground:
"Damn it, logically speaking, Lonis as a slave should be carrying me."
"Huh...?!"
"But considering your lack of strength, I'll let it slide this time... Really, you useless masochist, you're just a burden. What can you possibly accomplish?"
"Ugh..."
......
......
Although constantly humiliated by Elucia, Lonis couldn't talk back.
Because her stamina was very poor, she would pant after walking just a few steps, seriously slowing down their progress.
But at times like this, Elucia didn't leave Lonis to fend for herself in the snow, but patiently waited for her to recover her strength.
Occasionally Lonis would slip and fall because she stepped on a glacier, but at those times the collar served its purpose... It worked like a climbing rope, perfectly preventing the possibility of Lonis rolling down the cliff like a "rolling down the mountain master."
Just like that,
After traveling for several hours, the two reached an exposed rocky outcrop.
And now it was noon, so Elucia was also preparing to camp.
