Chapter 18 : Silver-Haired Stuffed Toy
This was what Lonis thought:
Although Elucia acted like she didn't care, she must be very dejected inside, right? This feeling wasn't pleasant, so she should comfort her now.
But the moment Lonis said these words, the atmosphere in the cave underwent an earth-shaking change.
......
An unknown bitter cold penetrated her entire body. Lonis felt as if her body was being pierced by this severe cold.
Thick black energy spread from Elucia's feet, covering her entire body in just an instant... When the black light faded, the originally petite and cute little loli had instantly become a cold and stern girl.
"Huh?"
"How dare a masochist maid like you presume to guess your master's intentions?"
In just an instant, Elucia had drawn her sword and placed it at Lonis's neck.
Thick killing intent emanated from the girl's eyes, and the sharp blade was only 1 millimeter from her skin... Lonis had no doubt that if she turned her head even slightly, her head would drop to the ground with a thud.
(It's over, I messed up!)
At this moment, Lonis's heart was filled with such fear. She knew that many people had things in their hearts they didn't want others to mention.
Elucia was probably the same, right? She had touched the girl's reverse scale, which was why she hated her so much.
However, just the next second...
"Cough cough, cough cough cough!"
Elucia actually started coughing violently.
Although she tried hard to hide it, a mouthful of bright red blood still sprayed from her body, splattering to the ground with a splat.
"E-Elucia."
"Damn it..."
Although the black-haired girl still wanted to say something viciously, her body could no longer support her continuing to speak.
Another wave of black energy passed, and the previous black-haired girl had returned to being a black-haired little loli, half-kneeling on the ground.
"Elucia, you're injured!"
Although it was just an instant, Lonis could tell that Elucia's injuries were far more serious than she had imagined!
Lonis quickly ran forward and supported her body.
"Elucia, are you alright?"
"You... you..."
Having returned to loli form, Elucia's complexion looked somewhat better. But her brow still carried a trace of fierceness, looking like she would kill Lonis at the slightest provocation:
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Huh?"
"I just said not to pry into your master's affairs..."
Having come to this point, Lonis also knew Elucia was putting on a brave front.
So she quickly shook her head and said:
"Of course I'm afraid of death, but Elucia, don't forget that I can't actually die, right?"
"What?"
"My body will continuously try to revive. I'd probably be fine even if my head was cut off... And didn't Elucia say you wanted to treat me as your slave servant? Then as a servant, caring about you is only natural, right?"
Because of embarrassment, Lonis used "servant" instead of "maid": "However, I admit I was a bit hasty just now. After all, we've only known each other for a few days, so it's normal for Elucia to be wary of me... But we are companions, right? So we should understand each other, right?"
"You..."
And Elucia seemed not to have expected Lonis to say such things.
She stared at the silver-haired girl's cheek, and in her sharp pupils, some emotion seemed to be surging intensely.
"Because you won't die, you're not afraid of death?"
"......"
"Hmph, then as you wish! Take the toolkit from my storage ring, then find a yellow bottle inside and take out a capsule."
"Huh?"
"You have permission. Just touch it!"
"!"
Without much hesitation, Lonis quickly touched Elucia's finger—and the moment Lonis touched the storage ring, some data was transmitted from the ring.
It was hard to describe what kind of feeling this was. It was like a hallucination appearing before her eyes. A semi-transparent UI actually floated in the world within Lonis's pupils.
It was filled with many things drawn in detail, like inventory in the storage ring.
Total Space: 1000KG.
Liquid: Drinking Water
Item: Toolkit
Item: Beef x72
Item: Bed Sheets and Bedding x2
Item: Hand-cranked Portable Mobile Magic Device
......
And as long as Lonis confirmed at the toolkit, a 60-centimeter-wide blue box appeared in the cave.
(So, so amazing!)
Lonis didn't dare delay at all and opened the toolkit, taking out the yellow capsule for Elucia.
However...
"Idiot, did I say it was for me to eat?"
"Huh?"
"This is for you to eat. Swallow it."
"Ugh... ugh?"
Although she didn't know what effect the capsule had, Lonis still swallowed it whole like a well-behaved little maid.
And then...
"So, so hot?"
Lonis felt a warm sensation spreading throughout her body starting from her heart. Her body, which had been somewhat stiff from the cold, suddenly felt like it was soaking in a hot spring—extremely comfortable.
Her heartbeat quickened. Although it was inappropriate, Lonis couldn't help but think of some lewd things in her mind.
Like when Elucia was in loli form, her petite and cute little feet wrapped in black stockings looked really adorable?
Like when Elucia was in girl form, her mature and elegant body curves, those mature and sexy feminine features, would really be perfect for hugging?
(No, no! What am I thinking?)
Lonis frantically shook her head. Although Elucia was indeed mature and cute, if she did such things, she would definitely be ravaged and tormented, right?
All the switches under her clothes would be turned on, her mouth would be gagged, and no matter how much she begged, Elucia wouldn't spare her...
(But why am I suddenly thinking about this...)
(Could it be that this, this is an aphrodisiac?)
Realizing something, Lonis's body trembled.
And Elucia also stepped forward, placing her right hand on Lonis:
"How is it? Is your heart beating faster now?"
"Y-yes."
"Mm, then it seems your reaction is normal. Quickly give me your lips."
"Li... lips?!"
Lonis retreated a step in panic, never expecting Elucia to command her like this: "By lips, you mean... I have to kiss?"
"Of course... anywhere except the mouth is fine. Kiss wherever you want, quickly!"
"Ah, understood!"
Lonis nodded and frantically moved to kiss Elucia's forehead... The little loli's body was very petite, so holding her in her arms to kiss her forehead was very comfortable.
Her lips lightly touched the forehead. From her mouth came a very strange sensation.
Somewhat bitter, somewhat moist. Then Lonis felt a cool sensation from her lips gradually spreading throughout her body.
The burning sensation subsided considerably, but the strength in her body also seemed to disappear.
......
Lonis's body went limp and she instinctively fell toward the ground. But at this moment, Elucia extended her hand and supported her:
"Hmph, although you have a masochist personality, your magic power isn't bad."
"Magic power..."
"At least you can be of some use. I'll grant you the title of 'Silver-Haired Stuffed Toy' and permit you to accompany me."
Elucia smiled slightly and said thus.
