Chapter 149 : Silver-Haired Girl vs. Slimes
After going through so many levels, Lonis was completely exhausted.
Her magical power had collapsed several times already.
Not to mention all those scattered small collapses.
But even so, Elucia didn't let her off and continued saying: "The study puzzle has ended. Please proceed to the next level within 5 minutes. Repeat, the study puzzle has ended. Please proceed to the next level within 5 minutes."
"Elucia, I... I can't anymore..."
Lonis shook her head, already surrendering to Elucia.
This wasn't because Lonis wasn't trying hard, but because outsiders simply wouldn't know... just how sensitive a girl's body could be.
Even after the magical power collapse ended, wave after wave of magical echoes continued to sweep through her body, so that Lonis now completely didn't want to do anything and just wanted to lie on the ground.
Naturally, Elucia wasn't some perverted queen who had to bully Lonis until she fainted to stop.
However, this little loli said quite maliciously: "Hehe, giving up like this is fine too. After all, you've passed 3 levels, which exceeded my expectations."
"Wuu..."
"But, I was originally planning to give you a surprise after you passed the fourth level. But now, forget it."
"S-surprise?"
"Mm, it's a chance for you to temporarily return to being a boy at the Autumn Arts Festival. After all, it would be a reward for clearing the escape room."
"How could such a thing be possible?!!!!"
Lonis stared wide-eyed in surprise. Returning to being a boy had always been her dream.
And such a thing could actually be done at the Autumn Arts Festival.
"Hmph, believe it or not. But it really is a boy, and not a weak boy, but a strong giant. I'm sure you'd love it..."
"!"
Human potential is limitless.
Even though Lonis was completely exhausted at this moment, hearing that she could return to being a boy, she stood up again.
"E-Elucia, I believe you... but you can't lie to me."
"Haha, is it fun to trick idiots?"
"I'll pass the fourth level, just watch."
...
...
Dragging her somewhat wet body and breathing the slightly heated air.
Lonis stumbled and pushed the door open, arriving at the fourth level.
The layout here was a chapel converted from a large classroom... Long benches were arranged neatly, and at the end of the chapel was a cross.
In front of Lonis was a water gun.
Just as the silver-haired girl was somewhat at a loss, Elucia's voice rang out again:
"Now, let me introduce the rules. This escape room project is called real-person gunfight. In a moment, many slimes will appear in this venue, and you need to hit them with the water gun."
"!"
"But please note, only liquid of the corresponding color hitting the corresponding slime counts. You can freely search for liquid bottles as ammunition in the chapel. But once a slime appears in the chapel for more than 30 seconds, you fail."
"What happens if I fail..."
"Visitors will have points deducted, and as for the white-stockings little maid... hehe, hehe~"
...
Elucia showed a malicious smile, and Lonis knew her fate definitely wouldn't be good.
So she had to concentrate completely.
"3, 2, 1... Game start."
"Bring it on!"
As Elucia's countdown ended, many slimes appeared inside the chapel.
They were all light blue, bouncing around, seemingly without any sense of crisis.
Defeating such weak slimes was something Lonis as a hero in the past would have disdained, but this time, to clear the level, Lonis gave it her all.
"Shoot, shoot!"
The girl pulled the water gun's trigger, and the slime was hit.
Their expressions became >0<, as if they were very panicked about who was attacking them.
The first two were quickly hit by Lonis and left the stage, but the last one cunningly hid under a long bench and wouldn't come out.
This caught Lonis off guard, and when she was about to go forward to teach this one a lesson, the 30-second time limit was up.
Splash!
This time it wasn't little toys, but a bucket of viscous water that tilted down from the ceiling.
Lonis had no preparation at all and was directly doused completely—and this water didn't seem to be ordinary liquid, but some special liquid mixed with glue.
Once drenched, Lonis's dress stuck together, and even when the girl wanted to move forward, she felt her legs were sticky and could barely take a step.
"Elucia, what is this stuff?"
"Slime mucus, to simulate slime counterattacks."
"What?!"
"Of course, ordinary visitors wouldn't get this much if hit, but isn't Lonis a hero? So naturally you get more."
"(D-damn it!!!)"
After being covered with mucus, Lonis's movements became extremely sluggish.
Although shooting wasn't affected, she couldn't easily run around to collect liquid as ammunition.
Gradually, more and more slimes appeared, and Lonis's movements became increasingly difficult.
At first, she just walked a bit slower, but now Lonis couldn't lift her legs at all.
Her vision also became whitish, with lots of glue spraying onto her face, flowing down her chin and neck to her shoulders and chest.
The feeling of having mucus inside her clothes was indescribably strange.
But Lonis didn't give up, because the target requirement was to hit 50 slimes, and she had already hit 30.
If she just continued...
...
But just then, Elucia's voice rang out again:
"Mm, white-stockings little maid, I see you're working hard?"
"Eh?"
"But your clothes are all stuck with slime mucus, and you can't move... In that case, I'll be lenient and give you a convenience."
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"From now on, if you fail once more, there won't be any glue falling, but I'll randomly remove one piece of your clothing... After all, your school uniform is made of super fabric, so I can automatically change it with the remote control."
"W-wait!"
"Then, let's start with the bra first."
Elucia smiled mischievously and pressed the remote control switch.
After a fierce battle, Lonis's cheeks were completely red.
She could now confirm that this wasn't random at all, but Elucia's premeditated decision about her clothing.
Because the school uniform jacket, underwear, and skirt had all been removed, but the white stockings still clung to her legs.
Not only that, the butterfly bow headband in her hair hadn't decreased at all.
Lonis currently only had one thin shirt left on her body.
The bottom of the shirt barely covered her butt, just barely concealing the girl's body. If this piece of clothing also disappeared, what would appear in the chapel would be an extremely lewd silver-haired girl.
Her body would be completely exposed, her pure white skin covered with viscous lubricant, her silver hair sullied and stuck together. No matter how you looked at it, she'd look like she'd been played with by dozens of girls in turns.
So she absolutely couldn't lose.
So she absolutely had to protect this last bit of dignity.
The girl wearing only a shirt pulled the trigger at the last slime.
