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

For Elusia, this position was undoubtedly very comfortable~~~ After all, Lonnies was naturally flexible and had the potential to be as soft as a ball of fluff. Lying on the white-stockinged maid, the little loli closed her eyes contentedly.

But for Lorne, it was a different story!

Although the little girl wasn't heavy, her jet-black hair still made Lonnie's chest itch. And since she was lying flat, the pressure on her chest was even greater.

Although Elusia was supposed to be deep in thought with her eyes closed, her head was quite restless, constantly shaking back and forth, making Lonnie feel extremely ticklish.

As if enjoying the spectacle even more, the eight-tailed fox walked over and directly grabbed Lonnie's large tail.

"Miss Elusia, your body tends to get cold when you're thinking, so please enjoy the big tail of our fox clan."

"Oh, I almost forgot about this. Hehe."

And just like that, Lonnie's big tail was also held in the little girl's arms. Although Lonnie's face was flushed with embarrassment, she had no chance to resist.

……

Finally, after some time had passed.

As if she had suddenly figured something out, Elusia opened her eyes.

"I understand, I understand what that guy Caster is planning."

"what?"

"Lonnies Self-Propelled Mech, take me to the side."

"Who's become a self-propelled mech again?!"

After turning into a little girl, Elusia was too lazy to even walk, so she let Lonise carry her around the room as she pleased.

……

And what about the other side?

Princess Cecilu was analyzing another part of the information with her senior, Zhou Mixue—this part of the information was not much, but it was related to the Mingjin Kingdom and Chengche Academy.

"Princess Cecilu, senior, have you discovered anything useful?"

"Hmm... We've discovered it. We found that even when the post-apocalyptic independent kingdom was still operating, it sent spies into Chengche Academy to try to steal intelligence."

"Oh?"

"However, in the end, it seems that the spies they sent out were influenced by the students in our college... Caster's notes can confirm these points."

Zhou Mixue picked out several records—the words on them were very sharp, expressing Castor's anger about the matter.

Cecilu nodded and said, "I've also found some very valuable clues. It's clear that as early as the time of the Doomsday Independent Kingdom, Caster showed a strong interest in Rainbow Abyss."

"Oh……"

"In this document, the Third Research Center's list of materials, there are 27 documents on the study of Nijigasaki, 25 of which were compiled by Caster."

"Hmph, so the line between madness and genius really is very thin?"

……

Lonis listened to the discussion with complete bewilderment. She had been so focused on serving the cunning little girl that she hadn't had time to look at the information. (And of course, she couldn't understand it.)

……

"Um, what does that mean, little master Elusia?"

"Hmph, you idiot, don't you understand Caster's plan? Isn't it already out in the open?"

"Waaaaaah...waaaah?"

"Fine, I know you're an idiot, so listen up! General Caster is very interested in the power of Rainbow Abyss, and this interest is not limited to acquiring the power of Rainbow Abyss, but also to analyzing the power of Rainbow Abyss."

"Ah? I understand!"

Lonnie was startled, then gasped in realization.

Elusia continued to explain, "Cast's earliest goal was naturally to obtain the power of Rainbow Abyss. He prepared for this goal for hundreds of years, and even commanded that guy Kru to attack the Snow Kingdom."

"!"

"However, he failed. Because Rainbow Abyss itself has an authentication mechanism, beings with malicious intentions cannot seize Rainbow Abyss's power. Therefore... his current goal should be to replicate Rainbow Abyss's power."

"copy?!"

“Well, I don’t know just how extensive Castor’s knowledge is. But an immortal who has lived for thousands of years must have some tricks up his sleeve… The puppet worms we encountered before were a product of his research.”

"No wonder those puppet worms in the mushroom forest could ignore Hong Yuan's power... But doesn't that make things even worse for us?!"

Lonnie was startled; she had a deep impression of how powerful Hongyuan was.

If all of this falls into Custer's hands...

"No, a counterfeit is a counterfeit, and it cannot be compared with the genuine product at present. Moreover, even if General Caster wanted to replicate the power of Rainbow Abyss, there would be a prerequisite."

"premise?"

"Hmm, he can only replicate it after witnessing the power of the Rainbow Abyss, right? And the degree of replication also depends on how much power the inheritor exerts. I think the reason why King Ruohui Palace is hiding... is probably so that General Caster doesn't know about his power."

"!!!"

"It's not so bad that Caster could replicate a single Rainbow Abyss. But what if he were to analyze all seven Rainbow Abyss powers..."

Elusia shook her head and said casually:

"Then perhaps he will be able to wield power far surpassing that of 'gods' and 'demons,' a power that transcends everything?"

Chapter 24 The Great Fox, Times Have Changed

Afterwards, the group sorted out the data again and confirmed that Elusia's analysis was almost entirely accurate.

Even knowing Castor's plan, no one had a good solution... After all, they couldn't just stop using Rainbow Abyss's power, could they?

Moreover, White Coconut had already exerted all its strength in Insolonia. If Castor had planned this all along, it would certainly have already gathered similar intelligence.

"Ugh... The enemy is so scary."

Su Ling shrank back in fear. Zhou Mixue patted her head and said, "Su Ling, although Castor is scary... we don't really need to be too afraid, do we?"

"Oh……"

"Because we are not fighting alone. Not only Elusia and Lonnies, but also the teachers and students at Clear Academy will help us."

"Yes, yes!"

Hearing her sister say this, the pink-haired girl's eyes lit up immediately: "Although that General Caster has lived for over a thousand years and conducted some horrific experiments, the knowledge stored up by the Clear Academy, and the combined knowledge of everyone, may not be inferior to his."

"Yes, that's it."

……

Although Zhou Mixue may seem to show little care for her younger sister on ordinary days, she will show her big sister demeanor and take care of the junior when things get tense.

but……

Where is Elusia?

This mischievous little girl not only failed to show any consideration for Lonese, but instead became even more outrageous!

……

"Lonnies, how was it? I figured out the enemy's plan. Isn't that amazing?"

"Wow...that's impressive..."

"Then, I'll sit on your shoulders and ride the maid horse."

"W-what!"

"Pay attention to my control method. If you pinch the left fox ear, it will turn left, and if you pinch the right ear, it will turn right. Pressing down on both sides at the same time will brake, and lifting up on both sides at the same time will accelerate."

"How can you control something like that?!"

"Then, start the engine!"

There wasn't even time to object; Elusia simply used Lonnie's fox tail to sit on her shoulder.

The legs, encased in black stockings, slid down her shoulders and pressed against Lonese's chest; while the little girl's hands gripped Lonese's head.

Lonnies had a similar experience once before in a village in the Snow Kingdom, but at that time she hadn't adapted to her body and directly threw Elusia off. Now, with the support of the fox tail, she wouldn't fall.

"Little fox, run!"

"Waaaaah..."

With her ears being kneaded by Elusia, Lonnies was forced to act as a human cushion, carrying Elusia on her back.

but……

Or perhaps, Elusia's actions are just really mischievous?

Although she knew how terrible Castor was, Lonnies didn't feel any despair... After all, Zhou Mixue's reasoning wasn't wrong.

We all face the same difficulties, so even if things get tough, we'll have partners to share the burden.

That's the advantage of being a hero... even though you're not strong, you have many companions.

On the other hand, although General Caster is insane and has a thousand years of cultivation, he is just a person. It is impossible for anyone to stand by his side and "accompany" him to carry out his plan.

……

……

Gazing at everyone, the eight-tailed fox smiled slightly and asked Elusia curiously, "So, now that you know Castor's plan, what are your next steps?"

"Needless to say, of course we'll thwart his plan. The power that Han Yuan represents has already been taken over by him."

"Yes, because the post-apocalyptic independent kingdom a thousand years ago was built on the foundation of the Cold Abyss."

"Oh~~"

"That's Elstu, the capital of the post-apocalyptic independent kingdom, a city of ruins. However, in the geological changes of the past thousand years, the city of ruins has been covered by a sea of ​​icy lava."

"cover?"

"Yeah, that's not an easy place to get through. Even I get whimpering in pain if I stay there for too long."

"Wait, Miss Eight-Tailed Fox, do you mean... you tried to walk into the lava?"
