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

Elusia is really having a tough time.

So myself...

(I...I want to become stronger, I want...to protect Elcia even more!)

After saying that, Lonnie leaned in and pressed her head against the little girl's head.

"Ah...ah? Lonnies, what are you doing?!"

Elusia was clearly taken aback by Lonnie's initiative and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Help Elusia read the documents!"

"I've already told you, you simply can't understand it! A lot of it is written using high-level functions, how could you possibly understand it?"

"Understanding even a little is better than nothing. Besides, doesn't Elusia need the little fox's tail to fan herself?"

"..."

"They might get thirsty, so if I bring them water, it will be much more efficient."

"Fine, I just can't do anything with you..."

The little girl slumped back in her chair and smiled wryly: "But even if you want to help me, you'll still get bullied at night, won't you?"

"what?"

"Because I work so I can finish early and then bully you, you little fox, right? So don't even think about running away."

Elusia said happily as she pinched the little fox's big tail.

Chapter 27 The Girl's Determination

The Time Shuttle has set off.

Because the ship was spacious, no one needed to worry about the rooms... However, Luo Zhisheng found Elusia and asked with some concern:

"Junior Elcia, can we really trust that eight-tailed fox?"

"oh……?"

"Leaving aside Candel, although she is a demon, she is also Princess Cecilu's sister and the daughter of the Ruohui Palace. But that eight-tailed fox... I always feel that she has some ulterior motives and may be a threat to us."

"Yes, Senior Luo Zhisheng, you're right. Although the Eight-Tailed Fox says she has a conflict with Caster, she was once a member of the post-apocalyptic independent kingdom. She might have some schemes in her heart, and she might even betray us at a crucial moment."

"Then, why..."

"Because I'm not playing dirty tricks, but devising an open strategy."

"!"

"Aside from family and partners, most relationships in this world are simply bound together by interests. Because of shared interests, people choose to speak out together... unions, cooperative organizations, trading partners, collusion between officials and businessmen... cough cough, the last one is a tangent, but as long as the interests are aligned, I can be sure that the Eight-Tailed Fox will not stand in our way."

"oh oh?"

"Therefore, we must learn to be tolerant. The journey to save the world is not just about saving 'our world,' but about saving 'everyone's world'... Only then can we be true heroes."

"!!"

Luo Zhisheng was taken aback, and looked at Elusia again with surprise.

Although the little girl in front of me is petite, she is like a wise old sage, with insightful understanding of many things.

Is it any wonder she's a beautiful girl who's lived for over a hundred years? In Elusia, one can discover many distinct qualities such as "innocence" and "experience," "cruelty" and "gentleness," "evil" and "kindness."

……

Facing Luo Zhisheng's gaze, Elusia did not avoid it, but instead smiled slightly and asked:

"What's wrong, Senior Luo Zhisheng?"

"Ah, no... I just think that Elusia-junior is really... amazing."

"Hmph, of course~~~ After all, I am Lonnie's master."

"So, does that mean I don't need to monitor the Eight-Tailed Fox?"

"Okay, Senior Luo Zhisheng can handle the ship. As for the Eight-Tailed Fox, let Candel take care of it."

"what?"

"Although I know that my senior's intentions are good, in reality, the thought processes of demons and humans are different in many ways..."

……

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

Meanwhile, Elusia was dealing with everyone's affairs.

Meanwhile, Lonnie was also working hard... This trip underground made Lonnie realize her limitations. Therefore, she wanted to strive harder and truly improve her strength.

Of course, Lonnie had done something similar before. But the final result was quite comical—the girl was tied up in prison with her own whip, making a huge fool of herself.

This time, Lonnies was going to be a little smarter... She wanted to become Yicheng's apprentice so that the girl could help her improve.

"Master Yicheng, please accept my bow."

Lonnie knelt on the ground and solemnly performed a salute.

However, Yi Cheng rubbed her temples, looking quite troubled: "Junior Lonnie, what do you want to learn?"

"Learn what... of course, it's how to protect Elcia?"

"Hmm... but if Junior Elusia uses her full strength, she can probably unleash the power of an upper-level 8th rank, while Lonnies... is probably only at the 2nd rank, right?"

"what?"

"In short, the gap is simply too large. We don't recommend choosing this approach."

Yi Cheng's words were relatively tactful; in other words, it meant that Lonnies was already a useless piece of trash and might as well just give up.

However… Lornish came prepared, wagging her tail and still defiantly saying:

"Anything is fine, I don't want Elusia to bear too much."

"Hey, Lonnies, you must have noticed by now, right? Elusia is actually quite special to you."

"!"

"If at the beginning she was only forced to choose you, treating saving the world as a job, now she has..."

"Waaah..."

Lonnie lowered her head. In fact, it was because she noticed this that she came to find Senior Yicheng.

Normally, Elusia always presents a very calm demeanor. Even when Solania was attacked by the fragments of the Otherworld, she would do her best to come up with a countermeasure.

However, when Elusia passed through the **cage** yesterday, the girl seemed a little flustered just because of her own encouragement.

This proves...

Elusia values ​​herself highly.

This kind of concern transcends reason—which means that if she were captured by the Demon Lord of Tricks, or perhaps violated by someone else, Elusia would definitely lose her mind in a panic.

Elusia is indeed very strong, and she has experienced many things, possessing wisdom and willpower far exceeding that of ordinary people.

But she herself was her only weakness.

……

……

Lonese isn't stupid. As a hero, she actually possesses a very keen mind, which is why she hopes that Senior Izumi can teach her so that she won't become a burden to Elcia at crucial moments.

However, what Senior Yicheng said left Lonnie silent.

……

"Senior Yicheng, is there really no way for me to improve?"

"Well... it's possible, but this path will be extremely difficult."

"I'm not afraid of hardship! As long as I can stay by Elusia's side and protect everyone, I can endure any hardship."

Lonnie gritted her teeth, her clear eyes revealing an indomitable will.

As if her will was strong enough, Yi Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand... Junior Sister Lonnie, please wait a moment, I'll go get that cultivation manual for you."

"Gong method?"

"Yes, this is a unique cultivation technique written by the Sun Loli Goddess before she disappeared. It records the wisdom of the Sun Loli Goddess... and this book has always been stored in the time safe of the Time Traveler."

"!"

……

……

Senior Yicheng left, and Lonnies was speechless with lingering thoughts.

Just how terrifying is the cultivation technique written by the Sun Loli Goddess?

After all, Lonnies hadn't forgotten that it was the Sun Loli Goddess who led the people to establish seven different Rainbow Abysses, saving humanity from near destruction in the previous era.

Such a technique must have unparalleled efficacy, right?

However, correspondingly...

It must be extremely difficult to practice, and you might even have to pay a price.

but……

(Even if it's incredibly difficult to practice, I'm still going to practice!)

……

Lonnie mustered her energy and prepared to wait for Senior Yicheng's return.

But Lonnie never expected this...

The senior student is back, but instead of a book, she's carrying something else...
