Chapter 144 : Escape Room
After finishing her part-time job at the maid café, Lonis returned to the magic boat feeling somewhat tired.
However, the magic boat was empty, the lights weren't on, and Elucia hadn't returned either.
In fact, Lonis knew that the reason Elucia had separated from her was also to do volunteer work... Don't be fooled by this black-haired girl's scheming nature, but in certain aspects, Elucia gave off a particularly considerate and reliable feeling.
Just like this afternoon, when they were doing volunteer work.
Although Lonis had wiped the photograph clean, Elucia had directly bought a new picture frame and given it to the elderly woman.
When cleaning too, Elucia not only moved the cabinet to the correct position, but also helped the elderly woman replace the inconvenient water faucet.
In other words...
If Lonis were still a hero, she would have confidence in winning Elucia over, then making her willingly become her little wife~
After all, such a cute girl princess should be her wife~!
But...
With this current body, Lonis had no courage at all.
Not only were there many little toys on her clothes, but Lonis also knew... she simply didn't have the power to protect this black-haired girl.
And not only that, even when separated from Elucia, she would instinctively feel uneasy, her heart would be somewhat afraid, and she wouldn't dare act rashly.
Lonis knew this was the result of Elucia's long-term training of her. This black-haired girl just liked seeing her become a soft girl.
Making her like a little maid who didn't need to think about anything, just accepting her protection.
"Wuu... Elucia really is a tsundere."
The clock hands were ticking away.
Soon, it was already approaching 12 o'clock at night... The sky was completely dark, and whether it was the campus area or the commercial district, all the lights had been turned off and businesses had closed.
And at this moment, Elucia still hadn't returned.
This couldn't help but cause a trace of unease in Lonis's heart.
Although she knew Elucia was very capable, able to even kill General Kuru... but what if she still encountered some trouble and needed her help?
Thinking about this, Lonis couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and looked out the window.
But Lonis never expected...
"Hmph, stupid maid, you actually dare to worry about your master?"
"Eh?"
"Lift!"
With a thud, Lonis's skirt was lifted again... Under the fluttering pleated skirt were the girl's soft and comfortable panties.
When Lonis turned around, she saw it was Elucia, who had already transformed back into a little loli, looking at her with a mischievous smile.
"Miss Elucia!!!"
Lonis was both embarrassed and annoyed. She had no idea when Elucia had returned.
"Hmph, of course I came back long ago. Watching you, this stupid maid, restlessly fidgeting on the bed is quite interesting too."
"Wuu..."
"So, how did things go? Do you have any ideas?"
The black-haired little loli took off her small shoes and lazily lay down on the bed.
"Things?"
"Of course about the Autumn Arts Festival."
"Oh... Oh! Suling told me about it, but I still don't know how to earn points. Although I wanted to do a haunted house... but Suling said it might frighten the students."
"Then just make a non-scary haunted house. Hmph, what an idiot."
After saying this, Elucia looked at Lonis with disdain.
"Eh? A non-scary haunted house... what does that mean?"
"Idiot, you're lucky you're from the previous era. Haven't you ever played escape rooms?"
"Eh?!"
"Hehe, the Ancient Academy is so huge, it's perfect for making an escape room."
The plan was decided just like that.
In order to participate in the Autumn Arts Festival, the next day after school, Lonis and Elucia went together to find Dean Cuibia to ask if they could transform the academy into an escape room booth.
This blonde woman's reply was also very clear: "Mm, of course that's possible. However, students Lonis and Elucia, if you want to do this, there are two things to note."
"Eh?"
"First, although the relics housed in the academy are at most B-level, there's still a possibility of them going out of control. To ensure everyone's safety, I hope you students can write a manual for relic storage and usage."
"Mm..."
"Second, this is a rare opportunity. I hope that every visitor who comes to play at the Ancient Academy can have fun while also learning about things from the past."
Dean Cuibia's conditions seemed a bit harsh,
but Elucia agreed without hesitation:
"Hehe, of course no problem. Dean, please leave it to us."
"Then, I wish you both great success... Oh right, student Yan earned some money before, which is currently stored in the academy's accounts."
"Wuu?"
"If there's any left over, you can use it. Mm, of course, the special funding for the Autumn Arts Festival will also arrive the day after tomorrow, and I'll give it to you to use."
...
After getting Dean Cuibia's permission, the rest was easy to handle.
Even Senior Yan was extremely supportive of this plan. After hearing Elucia's description, her eyes lit up: "Escape room... it sounds like very good practice?"
"Practice?"
"Mm, because after we graduate from the Ancient Academy, we might go to various ruins for exploration and relic recovery. So if we can train with traps and secret rooms at this time,
it might come in handy later."
"!"
Hearing Senior Yan say this, Lonis suddenly understood why Elucia wanted to prepare a room escape adventure.
Wasn't she afraid that in the future, she and Elucia would be separated by life and death? If they prepared in advance, they would have confidence.
"Mm, that's exactly what I think."
Elucia nodded and said to Senior Yan: "Senior, can you handle writing the reports on the relics in the academy? I want to do the purchasing and level preparation work with Lonis."
"No problem, I'll provide full support for everyone."
"Thank you."
...
...
The preparation for the Autumn Arts Festival began just like that.
Because this was a very grand festival, equivalent to Clear Academy's "external showcase day."
So, the week before the Autumn Arts Festival, there were basically no classes, and the academic pressure suddenly became relaxed... Throughout the academy streets, you could see youthful and beautiful girls everywhere, chattering together and discussing the Autumn Arts Festival.
Plastic display boards were set up on both sides of the main road, and even the street lamps were hung with colorful balloons.
Lonis also followed Elucia to a commercial street to do some shopping.
But Lonis never expected that the first item this scheming girl purchased was...
Rope!!!
