After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"You have 20 minutes to visit. After entering the Temple of Clarity, please keep a distance of 1 meter from Orange Abyss. Do not get too close. The power of Clarity will help you repair your damage."

"Uh-huh!"

"Get ready, we're about to open the door."

……

……

The four armored guards, like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, placed their palms on the door in an orderly fashion.

And then something amazing happened.

Accompanied by a strange magical fluctuation, the orange-yellow door was pushed open.

But what came into view was not a temple at all, but a vast sky!

White clouds drifted freely in the distance, and birds could be seen soaring in the sea of ​​clouds from time to time.

(The Temple of Clarity, why is it like this?)

Lonnie took a deep breath, feeling lost and unsure of what to do.

But Elusia seemed to ignore the sky behind the door, and continued pushing her wheelchair forward.

Seeing that she was about to fall, Lonnie screamed in terror:

"Elusia, what are you doing? Stop it right now!"

"Hey……"

The black-haired girl didn't answer, but looked at Lonnie with an attitude of looking at an idiot, and then pushed the wheelchair away forcefully!

"Wow!"

With Lonnies's shouts, both the silver-haired and black-haired girls appeared in the sky.

"Huh, he didn't fall?"

"You fell like that inside the temple?"

"!"

Lonnie stared in astonishment as she realized that the walls and ceiling of the Temple of Clarity were made of very advanced screens!

The floor beneath your feet is completely transparent, and below that is a projection screen.

The entire space is a sphere, so no matter where you look, you won't notice any visual distortion... Walking through it is like walking through a sea of ​​clouds, prompting Lonnie to exclaim in amazement:

"This is... amazing."

"After all, it's the temple that the Chūchū Academy is so proud of, so it's naturally magical."

Perhaps because she couldn't grill steak, Elusia didn't seem very surprised. She simply pushed Lonnie forward to the center of the space.

With a ripple, a huge orange sphere came into view.

Or rather, it was already there, but the brilliance of the sphere's surface almost blended into the surrounding sea of ​​clouds.

As Lonnies entered, she realized that, like the Flame Abyss Temple, it resembled a miniature planet.

The warm light shining on her made Lonnies feel very comfortable.

"So comfortable..."

"Sit here for a while and wait for your recovery."

"what?"

"Close your eyes and listen. Wait a moment, and we'll adjust the wheelchair again."

Elusia made a gesture, and it seemed she was ready to cause trouble.

Chapter 83 A Clear Dream

Just as Lorne's body was gradually enveloped by the light of the orange sphere...

But then she heard Elusia's startled cry:

"Oh no, there's a cockroach!"

"Cockroaches? How could there be cockroaches?!"

"They ran away!!!"

As Lonnies shouted, a barely perceptible black mass appeared before the soldiers' eyes.

This is Elusia's ability: the deprivation of all five senses... The black-haired girl can deprive anyone of their sight, to varying degrees. It can paralyze an opponent's vision, or even just a portion of it.

So in the guards' view, it looked like a dark shadow was floating across the ground, just like a cockroach running by.

But how could there be cockroaches in the Temple of Clarity?

Both Lonnies and Elusia were searched, and they didn't bring their storage rings inside.

So the guards' attention was immediately diverted, and Lonnies, as planned, stepped forward and extended her palm.

(I'm sorry, but Temple of Clarity, please grant me power.)

Lonnies closed her eyes, and just like in the Flame Abyss Temple, a scene slowly unfolded before her eyes.

……

……

This comes from a pure and clear dream.

With the help of the first rays of dawn

People opened their eyes, gazing upon this brand new world with flawless eyes.

Learning from the flapping of birds' wings, they invented the glider that spans the sky.

They learned from the sound waves of bats and invented radar that could communicate with distant places.

Learning from the breathing of whales, they invented yachts capable of diving into the deep sea.

Learning and growth

Observation and reflection.

This is precisely the most important quality that makes humankind the most intelligent of all beings.

and so……

I acknowledge your efforts.

Just as I admire your spirit of exploration.

On behalf of the maiden goddess who symbolizes discovery and the clear sky,

For you

A blessing from Orange Abyss.

The ethereal sounds and images vanished without a trace.

Two more items slowly appeared in front of Lonnies. (There were three items in Yan Yuan.)

The first item is a reddish-orange gemstone—though it is crystal clear, its interior seems to contain the sky and the distance, changing with a mesmerizing color.

The second item was a long staff-shaped object... but before Lonnie could see the contents of the staff, she quickly chanted a spell and stored it inside the gem.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if the guards stationed outside discovered something amiss!

……

……

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Elusia's "cockroach" tactic only harassed the guards for ten seconds... but those ten seconds were enough for Lonnie to resonate.

And simply obtaining the gems wasn't enough for Lonnie; she also wanted...

(Waaah, this battle plan is just too weird.)

Lonnie opened her mouth wide and swallowed the crimson-orange gem.

In this way, even if the guards searched her body, they wouldn't find anything amiss... Moreover, since Lonnies already possessed the power of the Flame Abyss, the gem wouldn't cause her any discomfort.

……

"Damn it, the cockroach got out."

"You two, go after them!"

The four guards split into two groups: two went to the end of the passage to chase after Lorne, while the other two went into the temple to check on her condition.

Naturally, Lonnie sat upright in her wheelchair and appeared to be unharmed.

Upon seeing the two guards enter, the silver-haired girl even looked at them with a pitiful expression: "Sir guards, what happened?"

"Didn't you see the cockroach?"

"Huh? I was enjoying the blessing of the Temple of Clarity the whole time, and I didn't find any cockroaches."

Lonnies's words weren't exactly a lie, since Elusia's abilities hadn't affected her. Therefore, the silver-haired girl genuinely hadn't seen any cockroaches.

"You have 5 minutes left. Please prepare carefully."

And so, the battle plan at the Temple of Clarity was finally a success!

Although the guards cast suspicious glances, neither Lonnies nor Elusia left any evidence.

After the inspection, no problems were found. And so, Elusia pushed the wheelchair and safely led Lonnie out of the underground passage.

(Wow, it's sunlight...so dazzling...)

Lonnie was incredibly happy when she came out!
