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

With a bad feeling about what she was wearing, Elusia searched the bed, the closet, the kitchen, and the refrigerator.

However, there was still no trace of Lonnies.

Not only that, Elusia could also vaguely sense that Lonnies seemed to be suffering greatly at this moment... she felt very lost and desperate.

and so……

"Damn it, did he fall into the lake while playing outside? Or perhaps..."

Unwilling to consider the worst-case scenario, Elusia stepped off the ship and began searching outside.

……

……

"I...I haven't seen her either...Has Lonese-chan disappeared?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll go look for it too!"

……

Despite searching for over an hour, Lonnie seemed to have vanished into thin air.

The group felt a little heavy-hearted, because Lonnie wasn't the type to wander around aimlessly. If she were to do something special, she would definitely tell her friends beforehand.

……

"Anyway, thank you everyone. You can all go and get some rest now."

"Waaah, Elusia, I couldn't help..."

"It's okay. Senior Yicheng also has work to do today. Let's look for it together when she gets back."

……

All ships must undergo rigorous inspections when entering or leaving Academy Island.

Logically speaking, Lonnie should be fine.

but……

Who told her to be the hero of the end, or the inheritor of the Flame Abyss?

If Lorne's identity is exposed and someone devises some elaborate plan against her, things could get really bad.

Even worse, if Lonnies's physical characteristics were to be discovered by outsiders...

Even if you crush the silver-haired girl's entire body and leave only her head, she could still be taken away.

(No, it shouldn't be that bad. Elusia, you need to calm down.)

……

……

Despite telling herself to stay calm, Elusia's mind was far from at peace.

The girl couldn't help but recall things from the past, whether it was at Chengche Academy or in the Snow Kingdom.

No one around me survived.

Whether it was the diligent maids or the soldiers who took up arms to fight.

They harbored dreams, and they harbored hopes, hoping they could salvage everything and turn everything into a happy place.

But ultimately, all I can do to repay them is...

It was nothing more than a sweet dream.

In the illusion of the end times, I fell into a deep sleep.

The real Snow Kingdom has been completely abandoned. Although Kru has been executed, there are still many behind-the-scenes manipulators who continue to act recklessly.

……

(Phew... I'm thinking about this again.)

From that day until today, Lonnies has repeated this nightmare countless times, so she has learned to get used to it and learn to put it all behind her.

What's past is past.

This body of hers is brand new, so there's no need to be discouraged by the shadows of the past. To wallow in sorrow is the act of the weak… and she is Elcia, she has no need for sorrow.

but,

After not being able to see Lonnies, Elusia felt an emptiness in her heart.

Everything before my eyes seemed to have lost its color, as if I had returned to a certain moment.

They became anxious and uneasy.

……

(Damn it, where did you go, you stupid maid?)

Elusia clenched her fists in anger, her eyes involuntarily welling up with tears.

(Hmph, if I find out you're doing the same thing as a few days ago, deliberately scaring me and disappearing, then I'll make you pay! I'll tie you up and lock you in a cage, so you'll never escape!!!!!!!!!)

The black-haired girl clenched her fists fiercely, but just then...

Senior Yicheng also finished her work and rushed back:

"Excuse me, Miss Elusia, I heard from Su Ling that it's Lonnie who has gone missing?"

"Ah."

"So, is there anything related to Lonnie? I should be able to locate the footprints by smelling her scent."

"Senior Yicheng, is your sense of smell really that good...?"

"It's not the sense of smell, but synesthesia."

"!"

“I can transform flavors into colors, revealing Lonnies’s taste and footprints in the field of vision.”

"Okay, I got it. She has a set of clean towels, so just smell those."

……

……

And so, Elusia and the others followed in Izumi's footsteps and walked forward.

……

Chapter 21 Pet Training

after an hour……

"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong!! Master Elusia, please give me a chance!!!!"

The sound of a silver-haired girl crying could be heard coming from the ship's bedroom.

However, Elusia simply smiled and said very kindly, "No, Lonnies is not wrong."

"Ugh...?"

"Lonnies isn't just hiding in prison doing some practice, is she? That's something to be rewarded for, so as a reward, you'll sleep in the suitcase tonight."

"Yes, I was wrong! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!!!!"

"Hmph, I won't forgive!"

Lonnies was already pitifully admitting her mistake, but this time, Elusia wouldn't show any mercy.

Elusia stuffed her directly into the suitcase, then ripped it shut and zipped it up.

……

Suddenly, everything around us turned dark.

Lonnies was also trapped in the suitcase, practically unable to move. Although the position wasn't exactly uncomfortable, Lonnies had to stand upright and couldn't see Elusia anymore.

His entire body was bound by restraint straps.

Now, it felt as if she had truly become Elusia's doll, and would never get lost again.

(Phew... It's true, I've lost everything. Why am I so unlucky?)

The silver-haired girl sighed deeply. Not only had she embarrassed herself, but more importantly, she had made everyone search for her for so long... Su Ling still hadn't found her, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.

and so……

"Oh well, if I'm punished, I'm punished... Who told me to make everyone worry again?"

"Alright, I've taught that fox-eared girl a lesson. Thank you all for your hard work."

Elusia sighed and came out of the bedroom.

Everyone wore a wry smile... It was rather embarrassing that after searching for so long, they discovered that Lornish was hiding in the prison.

But isn't it best if nothing happens?

"Captain Elusia, everything is ready. May we depart?"

"Okay, we can set off tonight. Now, I'll assign everyone their tasks..."

"Gudong!"

With a sound, Lonnies awoke from her slumber.

How is this going?

Lonnies could feel the ground shaking, as if her suitcase had been lifted up.
