Chapter 348 : Sharing the Same Misfortune
The next day was sunny and pleasant.
Zhou Mixue also stretched lazily and walked out from the noble young lady's house.
"Hah~~ The beautiful girls at the palace were really too enthusiastic~~ I originally didn't want to stay overnight, but I didn't expect to play so late!"
Although her body still retained a trace of fatigue, Zhou Mixue still put on an energetic facade and headed toward the Third Airport where the Time Shuttle was located.
Because rest is rest, and work is work—everyone would be setting off again at noon today.
So this morning she still had many things to do... at least she couldn't fall behind on matters regarding supply statistics and coordination.
But Zhou Mixue never expected...
The Time Shuttle was completely empty.
It was as if it had been abandoned—no Lonis with her fluffy big tail, no Elucia with her jet-black long hair, no Princess Sethilu speaking softly, and even Bai Ye, who usually worked diligently, was nowhere to be seen.
(What happened?)
This scene left Zhou Mixue somewhat confused, so she opened her mouth and called out loudly: "Is, is anyone there?"
"Wahhhh, it's sister!!!!!!"
Before Zhou Mixue could react, a pink-haired little girl came running hurriedly from the stairway.
Her eyes were red and puffy, looking like she had just been crying... and seeing her figure, Suling rushed forward recklessly and hugged her like this.
"Suling?"
"Sister, sister!! Sister is okay, that's so wonderful!!!!"
"Wait, Suling, what happened? Where is everyone?"
Mixue hugged her sister and gently stroked her head.
"Woo woo... everyone, everyone abandoned Suling!!"
"Eh?"
"It must be because Suling is useless and just drags everyone down, so everyone completely stopped talking to Suling, woo woo woo..."
......
......
What exactly happened?
It turned out that Zhou Suling had gone to a coffee shop yesterday and worked a temporary job for the day... and this money was used by Suling at a board game store to buy a board game called "Slime Adventure"~
This was something similar to a slime breeding box, with four tracks inside. The slimes raised within needed to clear each level to reach the food at the finish line.
The levels could be freely combined, and the slime types could also be freely fed, so Zhou Suling wanted to buy this to come back and play with everyone~~
......
Before parting in the morning, whether it was Bai Ye, Lonis, or Elucia, they all said they would return for dinner...
But Suling?
Not only didn't she wait until dinner time, but even when she fell asleep, she hadn't waited for her companions to return.
In the empty ship, only Suling was alone. Holding that Slime Adventure toy, at a complete loss.
Was it because...
Everyone didn't want to play with me?
Was it because...
My hobbies were really too childish?
......
Stubborn Suling still thought everyone was busy and might return late, so she fell asleep on the sofa, hoping that the next morning, everyone could happily play games with her!
But...
No one was there.
When she woke up in the morning, the Time Shuttle was still quiet, making Suling realize she had been completely abandoned.
"Woo woo woo, sister! I should just go back home to study. Am I... not worthy of living on this ship?"
The feeling of being abandoned by friends plunged Suling completely into grief.

......
Meanwhile, on the other side.
......
......
"Eh? Senior Elucia... why, why are you here?"
Sethilu blinked, looking at this black-haired girl who was so close to her.
Actually, because Sethilu slept very deeply at night, being night-raided wasn't the first time she had encountered such a thing... in the past it was her Sister Lingli, and recently it was the mischievous little sister Candel.
Seeing Senior Elucia so early in the morning like today was really very rare...
......
"Mm mm, Princess Sethilu, good morning..."
Looking at Sethilu's bewildered expression, Elucia also smiled helplessly.
Looking at this princess, she had completely forgotten what happened last night.
......
Last night, after seeing that the person she had injured was Princess Sethilu, ten thousand speculations floated through Elucia's mind.
And regardless of which speculation, the urgent matter was to transport Sethilu away... if the two were discovered by the guards, the consequences would be unthinkable!
But even the scheming Elucia hadn't anticipated.
Even while in a semi-conscious state, Sethilu still chanted a teleportation array...
But perhaps because her consciousness was unclear, the destination of this teleportation array was the abandoned dungeons in this prison.
So last night's result was...
Elucia was affected by Princess Sethilu's array and was locked in prison together with her.
If it were Elucia at full power, she naturally wouldn't fear this cage, but now with her heart damaged, no matter how much she tried to bend those iron bars with her hands, they wouldn't budge even slightly.
And the Five Senses Deprivation ability could only work on living beings.
She couldn't very well hypnotize the iron bars saying "you are a small bamboo stick" and expect the bars to open, right?
Thus, the two girls were trapped together.
"Ah, ah? Senior Elucia means that we are now... trapped in a cage?"
Learning what had happened, Princess Sethilu's face turned completely red.
"That's right. Does Sethilu have any good ideas?"
"Woo... I could use brute force to forcibly tear open the prison's iron bars. But if I do that, it would also trigger the underground prison's alarm."
"Oh?"
"At that time, not just the jailers, but even the standby Sword and Shield Guards would come to support. If everyone sees me then..."
Sethilu fell into a conflicted state.
Although this silver-haired princess was very gentle and kind, what she feared most was losing face as a princess in front of ordinary people.
And hearing Sethilu say this?
Elucia also sighed.
Although she wasn't afraid of those Sword and Shield Guards and guards, Lonis was, after all, the Princess Hero!
Even though the guards currently didn't know and were simply detaining her, if things got out of hand, wouldn't the matter of being pinned down by Lonis become known to everyone?
(Damn...)
At this point, Elucia somewhat regretted her decision.
She had only hated that Lonis guy for being so lewd, licking her legs all over, so she called her a rapist and had her locked in prison.
And now...
What method could she use to escape from prison?
