Chapter 214 : Mistaking One's Wife
"Elucia... how could you be injured this badly!"
Seeing the black-haired girl being carried back, Lonis's heart had already turned half cold... Even when facing General Kuru back then, Elucia hadn't bled this much!
But just the next moment...
This silver-haired little maid's tail was viciously "tugged" at.
"Stupid maid, I'm right here?"
"Eh?"
Lonis was startled, only then noticing that Elucia had somehow turned back into a little loli... She looked drenched in sweat, as if she had just experienced a fierce battle.
And the person that Luozhi Sheng was carrying on her back wasn't Elucia at all—it was just because the black hair covered the face completely that Lonis had mistaken her at first glance.
And mistaking one's wife is a grave taboo, which is precisely why Lonis's tail was tugged several more times.
"Wuu, wuu, wuu!!! Miss Elucia, please don't bully me anymore."
"I'm not bullying you at all, I'm just using the white-stockings maid's tail as a towel to wipe off sweat."
"Eh?!"
"Mm, this fox tail's texture is really quite nice? It even comes with a heating function—finally it can be put to some use~"
......
Suling's "helping to comfort the combat personnel" was perfectly embodied in Lonis, except this method of help made the silver-haired girl feel genuinely ashamed.
On the other side, Yi Cheng and Senior Luozhi Sheng also received proper care—everyone got hot towels and beverages, and Dean Cuibia got fresh batteries.
Only Suling stood in place, seemingly unsure how to handle that black-haired woman.
"This, this is..."
"Mm, this is the Exotic Decay Lord that Elucia severely wounded. Although she's lost most of her power, she's still very dangerous."
Short hair was easy to manage, and soon Senior Luozhi Sheng had cleaned the blood stains and sweat from her hair—while over here, Elucia was still tugging at Lonis's fox tail.
"Captain Elucia, is there anything you need us to handle?"
"Mm, Luozhi Sheng and Suling, go with Senior Yi Cheng to lock this person in the prison. Kirigane Rei, quickly go start the engines—this Leviathan's core has been destroyed by us and will crash soon, so we need to evacuate immediately."
"Understood."
......
......
Thus, under Elucia's command, the ship slowly rose again.
However, compared to when they entered, the ship's initial velocity wasn't as high, making the escape somewhat laborious.
But fortunately, this Leviathan seemed to have lost its command, so those elongated tentacles didn't try to entangle the Time Shuttle again. After a quarter-hour of maneuvering, the ship was once again sailing through the sky.
"Haah~~ So tired, I'm going to rest for a while too. While I'm away, command is handed over to Yi Cheng and Dean Cuibia."
Having said that, Elucia yawned, seemingly wanting to go sleep in the bedroom.
And Lonis pretended not to notice... The silver-haired maid was wiping the table, but suddenly her tail was grabbed again by the black-haired little loli.
"Wuu ah?"
"Lonis, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and come with me, we need to make some preparations together."
"Wuu wuu..."
Although Elucia spoke vaguely, preparations for what... it was definitely going to be bullying her body, right?
After all, when Elucia turned back into a little loli, she definitely needed to replenish her magic power, and the only way was to bully her in various creative ways.
......
But Lonis never expected that the place Elucia was heading to wasn't the bedroom, but the prison on the lowest level!
Could it be that Elucia finally couldn't suppress her inner desires and wanted to train her using various terrifying methods?
Realizing this, Lonis felt somewhat anxious.
However, Elucia just smiled wickedly and said to her: "Hehe, Lonis, watch carefully how I interrogate girls."
"Eh?"
"If you ever dare to resist me in the future, this will be your fate too, okay?"
......
Clang!
Accompanied by heavy metallic sounds, Elucia pushed open the prison's iron door.
And the scene that met their eyes left Lonis dumbfounded.
A black-haired girl was trapped in a cage. Although metal shackles bound her hands and feet, she still let out beast-like roars.
She wore only crude clothing, but it couldn't conceal her devil-like figure... Upon seeing Elucia enter, the woman immediately pounced forward, trying to bite this little loli to death.
"Oh, quite energetic, aren't you? But I don't like such ferocious girls, you know?"
Having said that, Elucia touched Lonis's little ears... the implication being that this kind of obedient and delicate little fox girl was the type of girl she liked.
"Elucia, what is... going on here?"
"As you can see, this is the Exotic Decay Lord we just captured. But unlike native Exotic Decay Lords, she was transformed from a human."
"Transformed, meaning she was originally human?"
Lonis was startled. Although she hadn't read many adult books, she had heard of corruption... For instance, the Abyssal Fleet in Kantai Collection were formed from defeated ship girls who had fallen into darkness.
And now...
"Mm, which is why I wanted everyone to stay away, because she was once a member of Clear Academy. Perhaps she failed some mission, leading to her current state."
"Wuu wuu!"
Upon hearing this, Lonis's legs went weak with fright.
She couldn't imagine what the girl had experienced to become like this... but it must have been completely hellish, a torture 10 times more terrifying than being locked in a suitcase herself, right?
However, Elucia just smiled:
"Don't worry, it's not necessarily training, you know? She might have simply died."
"Eh, simply died?"
"Mm, for example, failing in battle and then collapsing in a contaminated area means she wouldn't die completely... The formation process is probably similar to the zombies in your memory, right?"
"It can happen like that..."
Hearing Elucia explain it this way, Lonis relaxed somewhat.
In fact, although she liked watching some lewd things and doing some lewd things, she actually didn't want to see girls truly crying.
Perhaps this was some kind of responsibility as a Hero, or to put it badly, part of her harem mentality.
But at least, she truly just hoped that all beautiful and kind girls could be happy~~
......
......
"Then... Elucia, what should we do to help her?"
Watching the black-haired woman continuously gnawing at the cage, Lonis felt somewhat troubled.
"Mm, first we need to calm her down. But for this level of Exotic Decay Tribe, ordinary medicine won't work, so we need special medicine."
"Special medicine?"
"Mm, it's a certain very sweet substance rich in pure magic power—holy water... hehe~~"
Having said that, Elucia looked at Lonis with ill intent.
And perhaps because she had been bullied by Elucia so many times, the silver-haired girl's face flushed red as she understood her thoughts:
"Wuu wuu, Elucia, can you be a little gentler?"
"Of course, I'll directly prepare a plate and let Lonis provide it herself, you know?"
"Eh?"
"Doing it yourself should be much gentler, right? Mm, since there are no outsiders in this prison anyway, Lonis, hurry up and start."
