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

Realizing this, Lonnies was utterly desperate.

……

Chapter 16 Sensory Deprivation

Lornes was on the verge of tears in despair...

If it were just being whipped, it wouldn't be so painful. What pained Lonnie was that she actually craved being whipped.

Doesn't this mean that I'll never escape the fate of being a masochist?

……

However, upon seeing Lonnie's expression, Elocia lowered her voice and said:

"Are you out of your mind?"

"what?"

"Don't shout so loudly, this is a feather whip, it won't hurt."

"Feather whip?"

"Oh, I see. So that expression of yours is disappointment. Because I didn't actually whip you, you're just unsatisfied, aren't you?"

No, it's not about unsatisfied desires.

"I told you not to be so loud."

Elusia frowned slightly and pressed her index finger against Lonnie's forehead: "That village chief was a bit strange. He seemed... not to want us to fix the magic reactor."

"what……"

"I am very sensitive to the emotions of ordinary people, and I can perceive their joys and sorrows to a certain extent."

"How could they even do something like this..."

"Of course, so I'm going to use this whipping sound to create the illusion that we're having a blast. In fact, we're going to lie in wait and see what's really going on."

"!"

"You masochist, how about you let out a few painful howls? You can howl, right? Hmm... just open your mouth wide."

"Ah...no, it hurts, ah..."

Although Lonnie was "wailing" with all her might, the silver-haired girl was too shy to shout too loudly because her voice was so cute, so it sounded a bit like monotone reading.

This made Elusia frown and angrily say, "You piece of trash... Can't you even howl? Or do you want me to take out a real whip before you'll obey?"

"No...no! Lady Elusia, I was wrong, ah...ahhh!"

Out of fear, Lonnie's voice involuntarily betrayed her pain... which finally satisfied Elusia, who nodded in approval.

"Hmm, that's not bad. Next, you say, 'Stop fighting, I can't move at all...' and show everyone that you're completely exhausted."

"No, please stop hitting me... Waaah... Master, I know I was wrong."

"That's right, you masochistic perverted maid, accept my punishment, hahaha!"

……

Then, the room was filled with the girl's panicked cries for help and the cracking sound of a whip—to an uninformed person, it would certainly look like a queen disciplining her little maid.

Although Lonnies knew it was all an act, as she spoke those shameful words, she had the illusion that she had been successfully trained... as if she had really become a masochist, craving Elusia's whipping.

For example...

"Waaaaah... Master, I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please, please don't... Waaaaah..."

"Hmph, now that you know you're wrong, you should beg for my whipping."

"what?"

"Otherwise, you're just trying to escape the pain! You unfit maid, you'll continue to be whipped!"

"No...no, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry...ahhh!"

……

However, Elusia knew how to control herself, and every bit of force she used was just right.

After whipping Lornish for nearly an hour, she suddenly stopped:

"Okay, that's about it."

"No... is there no need to continue the performance?"

“That old village chief has been eavesdropping on us in the next room. He just left five minutes ago… Lonnie, stay close to me, we need to see where he goes.”

"Huh? Me... do I have to go too?"

"Otherwise what? You're so stupid, what if you stay in the room and someone kidnaps you?"

Elusia put her hands on her hips and said with great confidence.

The sky had completely darkened.

But snowflakes, as small as goose feathers, were still floating in the sky, falling one by one to the ground.

Perhaps the protective effect of the warm jade has its limits?

Walking outside, Lonnie felt a chill creeping up her spine. Especially after walking for a while, her hair and body were covered in a layer of snow, making her feel even colder.

However, Elusia seemed completely unaffected, simply holding Lonnie's wrist—for the sake of convenience, Elusia hadn't put a collar on Lonnie for this mission, which also made her feel less ashamed.

"Master...Master, this is..."

"Shh... I saw the village chief heading towards that hall. We'll climb onto the roof in a bit and see what he's up to."

"The roof?! It's so high, is it even possible to get up there?"

"A rope will do. I'll go up first. Remember not to make any noise when you go up."

"Waaah..."

……

……

Elusia is like a stealthy assassin. With her black hair, black dress, and black stockings, once she covers her face, her body seems to blend into the night, making her extremely difficult to spot.

Lonnies, on the other hand, has snow-white skin and silver hair, so she can easily blend into the snow by rolling into a snowdrift.

And so, the two very different girls worked together to climb onto the roof, and under the cover of night, they were able to see what was happening inside.

……

……

"Damn it, why are there adventurers at this time?"

The village chief, his hair and beard all white, hurried to the very bottom of the magic furnace... His previously kind expression vanished, replaced by a menacing glint in his eyes, like that of a villain.

"What if they discover Lord Kru's ongoing plan? If he blames me, I'm finished."

After thinking for a moment, the village chief's eyes flashed with even more ferocity. He clenched his fist, veins bulging on his skin: "No, I must catch them here! Right, I'll destroy the magic furnace."

"As long as the magic furnace is completely destroyed, and since these adventurers tampered with it, the villagers will swarm and attack them... At that time, these adventurers will either flee in panic or have no choice but to attack the villagers. In either case, I will have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

The village chief grinned maliciously and pulled a dagger from his cotton-padded coat at his waist.

And at this time...

"Lonnies, I'm going to go."

"what?"

"There are no spare parts left, we have to stop him!"

……

……

The Magic Furnace is the core of the village's heating system. If it is damaged, all the villagers will freeze... Knowing this, Elusia pierced the roof of the wooden house and attacked the village chief from above, who was preparing to destroy the Magic Furnace.

However, the village chief reacted very quickly, almost instantly.

The village chief performed a side roll that was completely impossible for someone his age, directly dodging Elusia's downward slash.

However, Elusia's next attack was still swift. Before Lonnie could even see how the black-haired little girl drew her sword, the jet-black blade shot up and severed the village chief's right arm.

Bright red blood splattered out, gradually staining the entire floor.

(Even though she's a loli-sized Elusia, is she still this powerful?)

Lonnies was stunned as she watched the fierce battle below.

However, the village chief did not give up the fight... The pain of losing his arm, which should have caused him to fall to the ground in agony, was nothing to him. He swung his unharmed left arm and launched a counterattack against Elusia.

"Hmph, just because it's not your own body, you don't cherish it at all?"

"Go to hell!"

The village chief concentrated all his strength in his left arm, attempting to cut Elusia in half at the waist.

However, at this very moment...

"The Black Seal, the Deprivation of the Senses."

An unparalleled black light condensed in Elusia's palm.

Chapter 17 Sincerity

Lonnies had no idea how Elusia made her move, but the village chief, who had been invincible, was now frozen in place, unable to do anything.

With a tear, the village chief's body was severed in two, and he collapsed to the ground, stunned.
