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

She suddenly stood up and lunged straight at Lonnie.

Chapter 37 Gentleness

Although Dr. Okali's hands were handcuffed, her mouth was not gagged.

Humans attacked by headhunters will experience an indescribable emptiness in their mouths, and instinctively want to bite and tear at something to fill it.

So, Dr. Okali pounced on Lonnie without any resistance and bit down. (Su Ling was lowering the safety rope and couldn't come up to stop her.)

Tear it apart!

Blood splattered instantly, and bright red blood flowed onto the floor. Lonnie's skin was already delicate, and now a piece of muscle had been bitten off.

The excruciating pain instantly spread throughout her body. Lonnie felt as if her arm was broken. The intense pain caused her to break out in a sweat, and her arms trembled violently.

If an ordinary person were to experience such pain, they would probably have already fainted from the agony.

However, Lonnie simply gripped the steering wheel tightly and did not leave the driver's seat.

(Calm down, Lonnie... There's no pain at all. You're a hero, you absolutely can't back down!)

Lonnies knew that her body was too weak to help Elusia, and she was not qualified to enter the research station to find out more.

But, but!

I must do my job of holding the base camp well: since I took it upon myself to rescue Dr. Okali, I must also bear the responsibility.

So Lonnie didn't even cry out in pain; she simply endured the excruciating pain and continued to pull the engine.

But at the same time,

Dr. Okali opened her mouth again and bit at Lonnie's shoulder.

Tear it apart!

Another violent bite, and it seemed as if the girl's arm had been completely bitten off, with bright red blood spurting out and staining the entire driver's cab red.

But a slight smile appeared on Lonnie's lips.

Because the spaceship has already taken off.

And his task was already completed.

……

Lornes, I don't know how much time has passed.

She felt excruciating pain all over her body, as if she were immersed in concentrated sulfuric acid, her skin being torn apart and corroded.

Lonnies felt much better when a gentle touch touched her arm.

It was as if I were entangled by a rope.

As it rose and crawled, its consciousness slowly awakened from the utterly dark abyss.

That's right, that's it...

It seems like this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Before I became a hero, I think I heard this same voice. And it was this voice that encouraged me to keep living, to hold fast to my beliefs, and to defeat the invincible demon king.

and so……

……

"Honestly, Lonnie, you big idiot, I never thought that leaving you on the ship would result in me getting such a serious injury."

"Huh?"

"Hmph, it seems only by locking you in a box will you know what danger is."

Lonnie regained consciousness and found the back of her head soft. Opening her eyes, she realized she was lying on Elusia's lap.

And what about the black-haired girl's eyes?

She looked at him with a hint of anger, her gaze as if she were looking at a disobedient little pet.

"Elcia?"

"Don't move!"

Lonnie instinctively tried to sit up, but then she felt a soreness in her body and a tearing, weak sensation in her muscles.

"Ooh!"

"I told you, don't move around."

Before Lonnie could move around, Elusia wrapped her arms around the silver-haired girl.

Strands of her jet-black hair slipped down her shoulders, the feeling of them brushing against Lonnie's cheeks leaving a slightly itchy sensation.

Only then did Lornes realize...

It turned out that the warmth he had just felt was from Elusia. It was this black-haired girl who had been holding him and using her hands to soothe the pain in his wounds.

"Ugh... (blushing slightly)"

"Honestly, I'm taking such good care of you, and you still dare to resist. It seems that a small whip and a gag are more suitable for a masochist like you."

"Yes...yes, I'm sorry."

……

Lying on Elusia's lap, Lonnies felt an indescribable sense of peace.

After all, Elusia's expression meant that everyone was alright, and the magic ship had successfully taken off.

Looks like I've finally come in handy!

Finally, I got to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, showing off my courage!

……

Just as Lonnies was thinking this, Elusia coldly snorted:

"Hmph, Lonnies. Although you successfully completed the task I assigned, I haven't settled the score with you yet for taking it upon yourself to save Dr. Okali."

"Huh? Elusia..."

Lonnie wanted to explain.

However, the girl soon realized that no matter how she explained, she couldn't change the fact that she had indeed disobeyed Elusia's orders and had indeed gone out without permission.

Although he had prepared by tying up Dr. Okali, he hadn't been able to completely control her, which led to him being bitten.

So……

"I'm sorry, Miss Elusia. If you want to punish me, then punish me."

After saying that, Lornish blushed and closed her eyes.

Anyway, since I've been punished, Elusia can replenish her magic power... So, it's not like I'm doing anything particularly shameful by protecting my wife, is it?

That's what the silver-haired girl was thinking, but Elusia smiled slightly and said:

"Hmph, if I punish you like this, it would make me seem too heartless."

"what?"

"After all, Lonnie did save the day. So this time, we'll let bygones be bygones and not punish you."

"!"

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Lonnie could still sense Elusia's mood; she seemed quite happy. Those crimson eyes no longer held any aggression, but rather looked at her like she was gazing at a companion, appearing incredibly adorable.

"Elusia..."

"Hmm, what is it?"

"what?"

Elusia's question startled Lonnies, and she couldn't even remember what she had wanted to ask earlier.

"Ah... I, I... what's wrong with my body?"

"Yes, you are now infected with the predator bat virus, just like Dr. Okali."

"Ah, the virus from predatory bats?!"

"Yes, but your immune system is different from that of ordinary people. Those viruses can't invade your brain cells and make you go berserk, so for the time being they can only leave you powerless and paralyzed on the ground."

"What about Dr. Okali..."

"I've already locked her in a suitcase. I'm currently discussing treatment options with Yicheng."

"Waaah..."

"In short, this is a scheme. Lonnie is an idiot, so she doesn't need to get involved. She should just stay in bed and recover."

"……(blush)"

“I’ll have Baiye take care of you for the next few hours. Just tell her if you need anything.”

---------------

……

Stepping out of the bedroom, Elusia's expression turned somewhat serious.

She closed the door tightly and walked straight up to Yicheng.

"Yicheng, how is Dr. Okali doing?"

"Still in a coma, but it is certain that this concentration is unusual."

Yi Cheng shook her head and looked at the report in her hand: "Although the cause of the disease cannot be determined, it seems that Dr. Okali was not parasitized by the predatory bats, but was artificially injected with this virus."

"Manual injection...?"

"Yes, because the concentration is so high, we have no way to save Dr. Okali with the current level of medical care... I think that only a great being in the world has the ability to expel the virus."
