Chapter 135 : The Western Maid's Way of Selling Herself
Not only Elucia, but after Lonis ate the fried chicken, even Zhou Suling joined in this behavior...
"Student Elucia, I... can I do the feeding? I'll actively buy food."
"Of course you can, but there's no need to buy new ones. Just use mine to feed her."
"Is that really okay?"
"Of course."
"Thank you. Lonis, I'm going to feed you..."
Suling picked up a french fry and carefully aimed it toward Lonis's mouth. After seeing Lonis eat the fry, this pink-haired girl showed a very happy expression.
"Wow, she ate it! How amazing."
"Right? Raising a sickly maid is quite interesting, isn't it?"
"Yes! I really want one too... (blissful expression)"
"Hehe, this one won't work. Because she's somewhat sickly, only this young lady can guide her. After she gives birth to a litter of little maids, I'll give them to Suling."
"Really? Thank you so much! >0<"
......
The girls were of course joking, but Lonis was too embarrassed to show her face to anyone.
She felt that this time being cared for while eating at McKenkie, she had been remembered by almost everyone. So even after she recovered, there would be...
"Look, that's the sickly girl from that day, right?"
"Really, she looks so delicate and fragile. She looks so pitiful... could she be about to trip on flat ground?"
......
This version of herself was absolutely mortifying!
But Lonis couldn't resist and could only obediently be fed by the girls.
After eating, even the oil stains on her lips were gently wiped clean by Elucia with a tissue.
"Mm, not bad. Her appetite is fine, which shows her physical health is generally okay."
"Miss Elucia, can we go home now..."
At this moment, Lonis just wanted to go home, just wanted to lie on that soft bed.
"Mm, of course we can go home now. Don't be anxious."
"Wuu..."
Although in the past when being trained and bullied by Elucia, Lonis had countless times hoped that this black-haired girl could be gentler with her.
But now, being treated so gently by Elucia.
Lonis discovered that the previous feeling of being scolded and cursed at was somehow less embarrassing.
Was she being masochistic?
(Wuu...)
And just when Lonis was extremely flushed, hoping to return to the magic ship as soon as possible.
In a plaza on campus, she actually saw a familiar figure.
"E-class relic clearance sale! Welcome students to come and buy. These relics have all been time-certified and are confirmed to be genuine ancient relics. For example, these overalls were once worn by a famous star..."
The person shouting enthusiastically was Senior Yan from the Ancient Academy.
It sounded like the senior was promoting some ancient relics, but if you looked closely at the senior's stall...
It was basically a junk collection!
Behind Senior Yan were piles of various miscellaneous items. There were TVs with cracked screens; Kudo brand washing machines missing their drums; diabolo toys that old ladies played with; and even iPads broken in half!
All kinds of ancient relics were piled there, immediately emanating an old and ominous aura.
Combined with Senior Yan's old-fashioned braided hair and dust-covered work clothes, all passing students couldn't help but quicken their pace, wanting to quickly leave such a place.
......
Since they passed by, pretending not to see would be very rude.
So Elucia took the initiative to approach and greet Senior Yan.
"Senior Yan, good afternoon."
"Ah, it's Elucia, good afternoon! Are you... didn't you come out with Student Lonis?"
"Didn't Senior notice? The one in my wheelchair is Student Lonis."
"Ah?! This is Lonis? I-I thought it was a newly bought Western doll..."
Hearing this, Senior Yan was completely stunned.
She stepped forward, and after confirming that the girl in front of her was really Lonis, she gasped: "To actually become this cute... is this some kind of magic?"
"If makeup also counts as magic, then it's magic."
"Makeup, what's that?"
"Senior doesn't know?"
"Mm, but Student Lonis is really amazing, she's like she's become an expensive ancient relic..."
Looking at Lonis's body, something seemed to be sparkling in Senior Yan's eyes.
And Elucia didn't continue on this topic, but asked:
"What is Senior Yan doing?"
"Oh... I'm selling some relics that don't meet collection standards, trying to supplement the academy's expenses."
"The academy doesn't have enough funds?"
"Mm, although the school keeps allocating funds to the Ancient Academy, because there are too few students, there's never been much in special funding... Recently the dean and Student Lonis have also been sick, so I thought maybe it was because the academy was too old and dusty, and wanted to hire people to clean and repair it."
"I see..."
Looking at the miscellaneous goods displayed on the stall, Elucia also sighed.
Although these things were all very historical and had certain collectible value, their appearance was simply too poor.
And Senior Yan didn't seem to know how to sell things either... Although in the previous era, these relics were all rather famous items, they couldn't arouse modern people's desire to buy at all.
So...
"Senior Yan, do you need our help?"
"C-can you..."
"I'll come help after sending Lonis home."
"Wait a minute!"
Hearing Elucia say this, Lonis couldn't sit still.
Although she really wanted to go home and lie on the soft bed, but... if she really went home, that would be truly embarrassing.
After all, as a hero and also a member of the Ancient Academy, how could she let her senior fight alone?
......
"Senior, I don't want to go back. I want to help too."
"Junior Lonis, that's not good. You're still sick after all."
Looking at the IV drip beside Lonis's wheelchair, Senior Yan seemed somewhat heartbroken.
"It's fine. I feel much better today..."
"Senior, Lonis's body should be fine. Because patients also need more sunlight... But, I say Lonis, have you really decided?"
Elucia sighed and looked into Lonis's eyes.
"Eh?"
"Helping sell goods isn't a simple matter."
Half an hour later,
In the corner of this plaza, many students had gathered.
They formed three layers inside and outside in a big circle, making passersby completely unaware of what was happening, thinking it was some famous idol holding a street corner concert.
From time to time, students would curiously approach to look at the scene inside.
And the response they got was...
"Come look, this girl is so cute and hardworking!"
"Yes."
"Suffering from serious illness but still coming to sell goods personally. Really... so amazing!"
......
......
In the center of people's gazes was a pitiful yet cute silver-haired girl.
She seemed to be suffering from serious illness, looking listless, not only completely unable to move but also on an IV drip.
And beside her stood a sign.
"Student Lonis from the Ancient Academy is really too hardworking, coming to help the academy sell goods even while sick."
"Please everyone support her and watch as much as possible. We will display various ancient relics in sequence, hoping everyone can find one they like."
