Chapter 143 : The Autumn Arts Festival Begins
With her skirt lifted, a cool breeze also slipped into Lonis's panties.
This made the silver-haired girl's cheeks flush red as she instinctively shouted: "Elucia!!!"
But this black-haired girl? She had no intention of putting the skirt down at all. Those crimson eyes were staring straight at her thigh area:
"Hehe~ Not bad, the absolute territory's flesh sensation passes, and your skin is also dewy and lustrous. Your reaction when having your skirt lifted is also very girlish. Congratulations, Lonis, you've finally adapted to your current identity."
"Who has adapted?!!!!!"
Lonis's cheeks flushed bright red. What embarrassed her most was... even though her skirt was lifted by Elucia, she didn't dare to forcibly grab Elucia's hand.
She could only maintain this shameful appearance, letting this scheming girl visually assault her.
"Mm, the blushing feeling is also quite nice. Your speech and behavior are now almost completely that of a soft girl, and I can no longer find any trace of being a boy."
"Wuu!"
Lonis wanted to make a fierce expression to show her manliness.
But no matter how she performed, she could only look pitiful... This made Elucia even more aggressive.
"Hehe, what a shame it's pure white panties. If it were a thong, you'd definitely show an even cuter expression."
"Miss Elucia, please don't bully me!!!"
"Oh~ But my white-stockings little maid is really cute. How about this—call me Big Sister, and I'll put your skirt down."
"Eh?!"
"If you don't call me that, I might..."
...
After saying this, Elucia symbolically activated the little remote control.
The buzzing sound came, making Lonis's cheeks flush red, yet she was helpless.
Whether from her chest or under her skirt, strange vibrating sensations came, and under the tingling numbness, the "trembling" Lonis could only say...
"Big... Big Sister..."
"Mm, that's not bad. However, stupid maid, it's time. Go to the maid café to work."
"Eh?"
"Don't wander around after work, come home obediently. If you go wandering around, you'll get what's coming to you!"
After saying this, Elucia smugly waved the remote:
"Did you hear that?"
"I... I heard!"
"Mm, go on then."
...
...
And so, the two of them separated temporarily.
Although Elucia had lifted her skirt and bullied her with the remote control,
Lonis harbored no resentment toward Elucia in her heart... because she knew that Elucia was using this method to help her ease her mood.
And not just now—in the past in Snow Kingdom too, when encountering very bad situations, Elucia had done the same thing.
This black-haired girl seemed to dislike dejected emotions lingering in the heart for too long, so whenever she showed signs of being down, Elucia would tease her.
(Does this count as being comforted by Elucia?)
(Sigh... Never mind, let me focus on the task at hand first.)
...
...
After parting with Elucia, Lonis came to the café in the commercial district.
In fact, although she couldn't come to the café for part-time work every day due to being busy with studies and having to handle volunteer commissions, Lonis still came to work at the shop on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
One reason was that Lonis couldn't bear to part with her little companions at the café, and another was that this could earn some money to help her buy back her freedom and return to being a boy sooner.
...
However,
Today the atmosphere inside the café was obviously different.
At 4:55 PM, it should have been time to have everything ready and wait for customers to enter. But the maids in the shop were all chattering, seemingly discussing something interesting.
Even Zhou Suling was the same. Only when Lonis walked in did this pink-haired girl react...
"Wah, it's Lonis, don't scare people like that!"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to. Suling, what's happening?"
"Eh... Lonis doesn't know?"
"No, I don't know."
"Just a while ago, the school finally decided to hold the Autumn Arts Festival, and the date is next Sunday."
"Autumn Arts Festival..."
Lonis blinked, showing a confused expression.
In fact, because of Elucia's "control" over her, Lonis couldn't wander around after school normally, and the only place she could gather information was the café.
"Oh, I forgot that little Lonis just enrolled and doesn't know about the important Autumn Arts Festival! The Autumn Arts Festival is a school festival held in autumn, where each academy and class can freely set up booths for people to visit."
"Just like... stalls at a temple fair?"
"Exactly, exactly!"
The pink-haired maid nodded rapidly, looking extremely excited: "Moreover, didn't Lonis and Elucia visit Clear Temple and owe a lot of points? The Autumn Arts Festival is the perfect time to earn school points. If the booth is done well, earning several thousand points at once isn't impossible!"
"That... amazing?"
Hearing Suling say this, Lonis was reminded of anime she had watched before.
Students in anime would hold such interesting festivals, with activities like cat cafés, maid cafés, ramen shops, and game stalls that sounded very interesting.
"So... were Suling and everyone just discussing the Autumn Arts Festival booths?"
"Exactly! Now there will be many maid cafés, and it's finally time for us professional maids to show our skills~ Hehe, my sister will finally have to look up to me, I'm so happy."
"Congratulations, congratulations~"
"Hehe... By the way! Have Lonis and Elucia decided what you want to do? After all, there aren't many people in the Ancient Academy, so there probably won't be many booths, right?"
"This... I haven't heard yet, but if it's our academy, doing a haunted house would probably be very convenient."
When saying this, Lonis could only smile bitterly.
Although during this recent period, Senior Yan had wanted to spend money to clean up the school building from top to bottom, the final result was unsatisfactory.
Although advanced light bulbs were installed in the school building and the road in front was renovated, the entire academy still felt eerie.
And because of the environmental changes, there were even more out-of-control relics.
There were often butchers wielding plastic chainsaws charging into the corridors, and mummies patrolling at midnight... With just a little arrangement, it could probably become a haunted house.
That's what Lonis thought, but after hearing the haunted house explanation, Zhou Suling vigorously shook her head and said: "No, absolutely not a haunted house!! A haunted house would definitely be doomed."
"Eh, why?"
"Because the Ancient Academy isn't fake haunted, it's really haunted! Most students are scared to death of certain rumors about the Ancient Academy and don't dare get too close."
"I... I can understand that."
"So, Lonis, you must think of some activities for the living world... I don't mind, I'm not afraid of ghosts at all, not afraid of being eaten by monsters at all! But I also hope everyone can understand the Ancient Academy better and make the Ancient Academy more popular."
"Mm, I understand..."
Listening to Zhou Suling's suggestion, Lonis fell into deep thought.
