Chapter 35 : Thrown onto the Bed!
"......"
"......"
After Lonis confessed, the atmosphere in the room instantly became several degrees colder.
Even without opening her eyes, Lonis could feel Elucia glaring at her fiercely, that expression probably saying: 'You masochistic maid are truly a complete and utter waste.'
But Lonis never expected...
Her body was actually lifted up by Elucia. Then like a piece of cargo, she was thrown onto the bed!
"Wuu ah!"
Although the bed wasn't hard, being thrown like garbage still made Lonis feel like her body was falling apart.
"Just for now, lie on the bed and rest."
"Wuu..."
"Next, don't make any sounds, don't cry about pain, don't disturb my work!"
......
Lonis opened her eyes to see Elucia angrily going to work.
She took out a pile of papers from her Storage Ring and placed them in the toilet.
She also took out some sealed cans and some blue stones and put them in the refrigerator.
Finally, she took out a toolbox and began banging around inside the entire ship... this looked like very tedious work, making Lonis lying on the bed feel somewhat embarrassed.
(I really feel so useless...)
Lonis looked at her own body. Although her legs wrapped in white stockings seemed like they could be enjoyed for a year, she was indeed good-looking but useless, unable to even do maid work properly.
On the contrary, although Elucia always bullied her, she was very reliable in these matters. After working busily for about an hour, she had finished inspecting the entire ship.
The magic engine seemed ready to start, but since it was already getting dark and even the factory was dimly lit, Elucia didn't plan to depart now. Instead, she walked to the bedside and said seriously:
"Lonis?"
"Yes... yes!"
Frightened, Lonis forcefully supported her body and quickly sat up.
"Go cut 2 portions of beef into small pieces, then steam them on low heat for half an hour."
"Oh..."
"The stove is in the living room. If you don't understand something, read the instruction manual."
"I... I understand."
Lonis ran quickly to the living room... although her body was still somewhat tired, after resting for a while, steaming beef shouldn't be a problem.
"Eh... the meat is already prepared?"
Lonis looked toward the stove and found two pieces of beef and a short sword placed on it, with a cooking instruction manual beside them.
(I... I'm not a child, cooking something should be no problem, right?)
Although thinking this way, the silver-haired girl who had learned from previous experience still obediently opened the instruction manual and read carefully...
Like the instruction manuals from her previous life memories, this contained cooking methods for various dishes.
What surprised Lonis was that it also contained instructions for using "Fire Crystals": these Fire Crystals were very similar to the gas from her memories, just more stable and without the risk of gas leaks.
(Right, I remember Elucia mentioned Ice Crystals to the Village Chief... could it be that various types of crystals are the main energy sources in this world?)
Lonis tilted her head. Although very curious, she still followed the steps in the book, cooking the beef step by step.
Steam rose from the pot, and tender beef rolled up and down in the boiling water.
A rich aroma wafted over. Having missed lunch at noon, Lonis felt hungry and wanted to swallow the beef in front of her.
There were so many pieces anyway, secretly eating one should be fine, right?
Looking at the beef, the silver-haired girl couldn't help thinking this—maybe when eating later, Elucia would bully her again, making her stand aside like a humble maid, only able to watch her eat.
In the end, after finishing, she would only have a little beef soup to drink.
No, if Elucia wanted to bully her, maybe she wouldn't even give her the beef soup.
......
'What, you stupid maid who can't even clean rooms properly, you actually want to drink soup?'
'I... I saw there was still a little left...'
'Hmph, don't even think about it. I'd rather pour out the soup than give it to you! You useless thing, you won't starve to death anyway, so just go hungry~'
'Wuu wuu wuu!'
......
If things really developed to that point, she would be so miserable!
It would be better to secretly eat now, plus Elucia was lying in the bedroom and shouldn't notice.
Once the devil's thoughts arose, Lonis felt unable to suppress them. She wanted to extend chopsticks to pick out a piece of beef to eat.
But...
There were no chopsticks.
The kitchen had no utensils at all, only a pot and stove. If Lonis wanted to eat beef, she would have to stick the short sword into the beef soup and spear out a piece.
This was obviously much more difficult, because the beef pieces she had cut were very small and completely hard to spear.
Directly reaching in with her hand was also impossible—the beef soup was so hot it would burn her fingers.
So...
(Forget it, better not mess around with these tricks.)
Lonis sighed. She always felt that if she caused more trouble, something strange would happen. So the silver-haired girl obediently followed the instruction manual's guidance, waited 1 minute after the stove stopped, and picked up the beef soup.
"Master... Master Elucia, the beef soup is ready."
Lonis walked very carefully, afraid of accidentally slipping...
But there was no response.
"Mas... Master? (Did she close the door so she can't hear?)"
Lonis placed the beef soup on the dining table, then walked toward the bedroom.
......
But Lonis never expected...
Elucia was actually asleep.
The black-haired girl with slender legs and graceful figure was lying on the bed, her expression relaxed with closed eyes.
She hadn't even covered herself with a blanket. Rising and falling with her breathing was a very full chest: white and round. Part of the scar was hidden in her clothing, but just the exposed portion looked so beautiful.
Elucia's thighs were relatively firm, but her calves looked slender, and her feet weren't large. Even after taking off her high heels, they still stood confidently erect, looking quite alluring.
......
This was Lonis's first time seeing Elucia's sleeping face (adult form), and she couldn't help but stare in a daze.
Especially with Elucia sleeping, those eyes also closed... without her usual sharpness, this black-haired girl now appeared much more gentle.
Although calling her a young lady would be appropriate, compared to that, she looked more like an elegant and noble princess?
(No wait, Elucia was originally a princess... and silver-haired...)
Realizing this, Lonis's heart began beating rapidly.
Some instinct in her heart urged her to do something to this black-haired girl... like caressing her hands and black stockings.
But reason told Lonis that doing so would definitely be disastrous!
Elucia was already angry now, and if she did something else...
Lonis was hesitating... but this kind of opportunity was fleeting.
Seemingly sensing Lonis's presence, Elucia slowly awakened from the bed:
"Mm, so fragrant... is the beef soup ready?"
"It's... it's ready."
"Good, you go drink first."
Elucia opened her eyes, revealing bright pupils.
