Chapter 168 : Training
"Mm... there are certain traces of nitrates on her body. From this, we can deduce that some kind of battle occurred at Boundless Research Station."
Half an hour later, Yi Cheng crouched beside Bai Ye, patiently observing the situation.
This orange-haired girl still hadn't removed her eyepatch, but just by running her palm over the body, she could read much information that others couldn't:
"The energy consumption rate was very fast, which indicates that Boundless Research Station encountered an unexpected attack."
"Then, Sister Yi Cheng, do we have a way to help this doll and Boundless Research Station?"
"Yes, I'll notify the flagship to accelerate. But even at the fastest speed, it would still take 5 days."
Giant flagships were different from small ships. To maintain stability, their maximum speed was only 24 knots.
And Elucia seemed to have caught the implication in Yi Cheng's words.
"Hehe, then Senior Yi Cheng, do you want to requisition my ship?"
"I can't make that decision."
"Oh, then who can make the decision?"
"Of course, it's up to Elucia and Lonis... Because this is your ship, the school has no right to force you to do anything."
"Really, I thought this was just a normal cargo mission. Who would have thought it would turn into an emergency rescue mission?"
Elucia suddenly blinked slyly, rubbing her thumb and index finger together, as if gesturing something.
Seeing this, Yi Cheng could only sigh: "Sorry, I have no authority over compensation matters either."
"Hah?"
"However, the school never treats such emergency rescue actions poorly. I can at least guarantee that you can gain qualification to enter Clear Temple and receive certification."
"......"
Whether Yi Cheng knew about this matter or not, one sentence left Elucia speechless.
Objectively speaking, going to Clear Temple for certification was already something ordinary people could only dream of... After all, one could obtain powerful Orange Abyss weapons, and it was also proof of being an excellent student at school.
But, but!!!
Lonis had already received her blessing!
And because of her identity, Elucia couldn't receive one and could only share Lonis's Orange Abyss weapon.
This meant that the compensation Yi Cheng mentioned was completely getting something for nothing.
But Elucia still couldn't get angry... because after all, they had snuck in before, and moreover, it was impossible to abandon Boundless Research Station without rescuing it.
Elucia was still a kind girl, so
(Hehe, this is the first time I've seen Elucia get frustrated~)
Seeing Elucia's expression where she couldn't even speak, Lonis secretly smiled.
The dark girl's expression of clearly being angry but having to swallow it was really too cute~~ Her crimson pupils were wide with anger, just like a tsundere girl being teased. So interesting!
......
However, don't forget that Elucia had the ability to detect emotions?
Just as Lonis started feeling happy, Elucia glared over, that look seeming to say...
......
『Hmph, Lonis! What are you thinking? How can you turn your elbow outward?』
『Ah, no, I'm not like that... I definitely didn't think Elucia's frustrated look was cute.』
『Hmph, it seems if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know you're wrong.』
『Wait, there are other people on the ship right now? Wuu!!!』
......
Soon, Lonis paid the price for her smugness.
The little toy was directly turned to level 2. The sudden vibration made Lonis's legs go weak, and she sat down on the ground like a duck.
"Wuu ah?"
"Lonis, what happened?"
"Ah, nothing. The ship just swayed, and I suddenly lost my balance."
Seeing Zhou Suling running over, Lonis frantically covered her chest... If the pink-haired girl hugged her and noticed the vibration in her chest, it would be completely over!
"Oh, it swayed? Suling didn't feel anything...?"
"Any-anyway, I'm fine..."
The little toy still didn't stop.
Lonis used all her strength to slowly stand up... But even so, Lonis's cheeks were flushed red, as if water was about to drip from them, looking very shy.
And what about Elucia? She stood with her hands on her hips, quite authoritatively saying:
"Hmph, anyway, that's how it is. Sister Yi Cheng, my weak submissive maid's illness hasn't recovered yet. This mission carries great risk for us. So without giving us some valuable rewards, it doesn't make sense, right?"
......
(This Elucia is actually using me as a bargaining chip?!)
Lonis blushed. She felt the little toy on her body seemed to be almost at level 3, and she could barely stand anymore.
Yi Cheng also sighed and said: "I understand. Then, how about this compensation?"
"What compensation?"
"Until we return from this trip, I will completely follow your orders... Elucia, no matter what you ask me to do, I will do it."
Thud!
Yi Cheng's words almost made Elucia fall to the ground like Lonis.
"Senior Yi Cheng, do you know what you're saying?"
"Of course I know. I think as an inheritor of Clear Temple, I should qualify as a suitable girl, right? Moreover, this is the greatest commitment I can make."
"Hmph, Senior Yi Cheng, I advise you not to underestimate me. If you think I would only issue battle commands, that's too naive."
"Of course I don't underestimate Elucia. Please give me your orders."
"Hehe, if you have the guts, then get on the ground and bark like a dog! You don't have the guts, right? Ha..."
Elucia was about to burst into laughter, but before she could embrace herself with both hands, this "scheming" girl was completely stunned.
Because Senior Yi Cheng actually got on her knees on the ground.
She was wearing a long windbreaker that went down to her thighs, and her lower body was dressed in black thick pantyhose with short boots.
So once she knelt down, the girl's butt stuck up high. Through the lining of her clothes, one could not only see the reinforced part of the black stockings but even vaguely glimpse a section of underwear edge.
And don't forget, Yi Cheng was still wearing an eyepatch!
Therefore, her kneeling posture was like that of a fully trained stuffed toy... humbly pressing her head to the floor, as if only longing for her master's affection.
"Woof, woof, woof."
Although her tone was somewhat flat, these barks were genuine.
Upon hearing them, both Lonis and Elucia blushed somewhat.
And Suling was even more frantically running around, as if unable to accept the scene before her:
"Wah ah ah ah!!! Elucia, what's going on?!!!"
"Suling, wait. Senior Yi Cheng acting like this is beyond my expectations too..."
"Wuu wuu, Elucia, do I also have to kneel down and bark like a dog? But... this is too embarrassing, I can't do it!!!"
Suling looked pitiful, with an expression of wanting to kneel but not daring to.
And as if the chaos here wasn't enough, Yi Cheng crawled forward one step on all fours, pressing her head tightly against Elucia's shoe:
"Master Elucia, little dog Yi Cheng has finished barking and awaits your next command."
"Uh?"
"Whether you want me to serve you in bed or kiss your feet, there's no problem."
