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

Someone cut in line.

This wasn't just ordinary queue-jumping; it was a queue-jumping between acquaintances... A young couple had been waiting in line for two hours, and it was almost their turn to go in.

However, just then, several people the couple knew arrived. Seeing that the couple was about to get to the front of the line, they wanted to join the queue next to them.

This displeased the people behind her, who started shouting, leaving Zhou Suling completely at a loss for what to do.

……

"Sigh, I knew this would happen. Su-ling, go and control the mechanism for me. I'll handle things here."

"I'm sorry, Elusia, I..."

"It's alright, Su Ling has already been a great help. There are a lot of people today, so it's normal that we can't manage everyone."

……

How would you describe Elusia's temperament?

As long as she's not dealing with Lonese, Elusia is always very mature and rational, and can always grasp the crux of the matter immediately.

Her steps were not fast, but they were filled with an irresistible power.

"We are very grateful to you for your support of the Ancient Academy, but due to the large number of people today, we are unable to provide queueing services for anyone except the elderly."

"Uh?!"

Several customers who wanted to cut in line seemed about to say something, but just then, a customer nearby said, "That's right, that's right! We told you it's not allowed, why do you keep trying to cut in line?!"

However, when faced with this guest, Elusia shook her head and said, "Guest, what you did was also wrong."

"Uh?"

“These guests simply didn’t know the queuing rules, which doesn’t really constitute a mistake, so you shouldn’t have yelled at them.”

"what……?"

"Moreover, loud noises are prohibited in Chengche Academy."

……

……

It didn't even take two minutes before Elusia had finished handling the matter.

Her crimson eyes merely swept slowly over the crowd, and the guests seemed to be "intimidated," obediently accepting Elusia's commands.

Seeing this scene, Lonnie was also a little stunned.

She knew that if it were her, she definitely couldn't be as clean and efficient as Elusia.

(So, Elusia used to be a princess, and she's naturally good at bossing people around?)

Although a hero and a princess are a very suitable combination.

However, the princess of the Snow Kingdom is different from the princesses of ordinary kingdoms... Compared to a pampered mascot who lives in seclusion, Elusia is more like a young girl leader who wants to realize her social value at a young age.

You must be a little aggressive, decisive, and not allow others to question you.

(Speaking of which... I don't know Elcia very well, do I? Even if it's not to find her weaknesses, shouldn't I know more about Elcia?)

Unlike Elcia, who had been secretly observing her, Lonnies had never actually met Elcia, even when she was a hero.

Not to mention talking and communicating, so even though Lonnie shamelessly called the black-haired girl her wife, their relationship was not actually that close as that of a wife.

(Hmm... So, my next task should be to shamelessly stay by Elusia's side and get to know her better?)

……

Just as Lonnie was pondering, Yan's voice came from behind her again:

"Elcia, are you there?"

"Senior, I'm here."

"There's a small problem with the mechanism in this secret room, and we need your help to fix it."

"I understand, I'm coming right now."

And so, almost immediately after finishing her work here, Elusia moved on to another task.

……

……

Chapter 22 The Curtain Falls

"cheers!"

Inside the barbecue restaurant, the sound of girls clinking glasses could be heard.

This year's Autumn Arts Festival was a great success!

Not only did everyone complete the planned tasks and earn praise, but Lonnies and Elusia also each gained more than 6000 campus points (because there were fewer people in the Ancient Academy, the points were actually higher when split among them), almost paying off their debts.

So, tonight's dinner was simply sumptuous and wonderful... Everyone sat happily around the table, seemingly immersed in this peaceful atmosphere.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable, Junior Elusia. I admit, I underestimated you."

Zhou Mixue reached out and downed a glass of beer in one gulp, a blush creeping onto her originally fair cheeks.

"Senior, the capable one isn't me, but Lonnie?"

"Uh?"

"If it weren't for Lonnie's competence, we wouldn't have had such a smooth journey, would we?"

Although it was Elusia praising her to her face, Lonnies always felt that this cunning girl had a hidden meaning in her words.

Zhou Mixue smiled slightly and said, "My junior classmates are all very capable, I'm very pleased... But, Elusia, have you confirmed the S-rank mission from the school?"

"More or less."

"oh……?"

"I heard from my teacher that there's a really good cargo transport mission. If we add in the task of helping the research station with the identification of some relics, we should be able to complete it, right?"

"Ah, it's the work at the Boundless Research Station, isn't it? I've heard about it too... If it's just transporting goods, then it should be relatively easy to complete, right?"

……

……

Lonis was completely bewildered by what Zhou Mixue and Elusia were saying.

She subconsciously tugged at Elusia's skirt and asked in a low voice, "Um, Miss, what does 'Boundless Research Station' mean?"

"Ah, I forgot you, my maid, are such a silly little thing."

Elusia sighed, seemingly helpless towards Lonnie, but still explained, "Crystal Academy is a top-tier comprehensive school in the world, but its scope is not limited to the floating island. It also collaborates and invests with many research sites around the world."

"I see."

"As for the school, it needs to communicate with various sites regularly, mainly regarding experimental reports and the circulation of research materials. We happen to have a magic ship, which can help complete this task."

"!"

"And the Boundless Research Station happens to have a collaborative project with the Ancient Academy. The vice dean and other students are currently working on their assignments there. Senior Sister Yan, could you please tell us more about it?"

"of course can."

Senior Sister Yan adjusted her glasses and said very seriously, "The Boundless Research Station is a 3A-level research site in cooperation with Chengche Academy, and it has a history of 132 years. The research station is led by Dr. Okali, with Dr. Marun assisting. Their main work is to excavate and explore the Boundless Land, analyze and contain ancient relics from the Secondary Era, analyze the ecosystem of the Boundless Land, and so on..."

……

Senior Sister Yan is a very serious person.

The advantage of this is that the senior student will not miss any mistakes, all reports are rigorous and reliable, and have a strong academic atmosphere.

However, the downside is...

Senior Sister Yan spoke for a full 20 minutes.

"...Currently, it's time for the Boundless Research Station to exchange goods, so I will also be setting off with the main force, bringing the aforementioned relics and materials with me."

……

"what……"

Lonnie only understood the beginning and the end, and was completely confused the rest of the time... Because Senior Sister Yan was explaining so earnestly, she was too embarrassed to continue eating barbecue.

"Huh, what's wrong? Why is everyone looking at me..."

"Ah, senior, that was a great explanation. Let me applaud to thank you for your explanation."

"applaud."

"Thank you everyone..."

"Well, is that how it is?"

Elusia wiped the sweat from her forehead, clearly not expecting Yan-senpai to be so detailed: "So, Lonnie and I will also be leaving school next week."

"I see... Ah, I understand. I'll talk to the manager about the coffee shop."

As if remembering something, Zhou Suling clapped her hands: "Manager Luo Fu is a very easy-going person. I believe she will understand for the sake of the school."

"Okay, thank you Su-ling~"

Although Lonnie felt somewhat saddened by Su Ling's words.

Actually, since enrolling in school, Lonnie no longer needed to work at the maid café; and since falling ill, she had started frequently skipping work.

However, Lonnie seemed reluctant to give up her experience at the coffee shop and wanted to continue working there.

The same goes for school. During her time at Seiki Academy, Lonnie not only learned a lot of knowledge, but also made many friends.

But now, it's time to say goodbye.

Although this is a temporary mission... Lonnies knows that her and Elusia's goal is to visit the various Rainbow Abyss Temples, so this departure may very well be their last.

If we part ways, I don't know when I'll be able to see Zhou Suling and Zhou Mixue again.

and so……
