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

……

These words involuntarily echoed in Lorne's mind.

Elusia, however, showed no pity whatsoever, tugging at the collar around her neck: "You idiot, what were you chanting just now?"

"what……"

"She's an exclusive slave maid, not an exclusive maid. Did you forget the word 'slave'?"

"Waaah..."

"Read it again for me."

"No, no way?"

"If you keep dawdling, then read it twice."

"Waaah!"

Being caught up in the world of martial arts, Lonnies had no choice but to continue reciting under Elusia's orders, no matter how ashamed or embarrassed she felt.

Chapter 32 Factory Placement PLAY

After reading these manuscripts, Lonnies felt like she wanted to find a coffin and crawl into it.

However, there's no way they can escape.

Not only that, she still had to use this cute girl's body, with her breasts swaying up and down, wearing such a pretty little dress, to follow behind Elusia like a maid.

If it's a little slower...

"Let me think, what method should I use next time for this training... sitting posture training? Maid etiquette?"

"no, do not want……"

"Hmph, Lonnies~ If you don't make me feel comfortable, you'll be the one who suffers, won't you?"

"!"

Lonese was filled with regret after being bullied like this by Elcia. If she had known it would turn out this way, she wouldn't have saved that sadistic, black-haired beauty in the first place!

The journey ahead is long, and who knows what strange ways this guy might come up with to teach me a lesson?

"Alright, weapon rack, quickly summon the Crimson Lotus Hammer for me."

"Waaah..."

When did Lonese, who was once a hero, become treated like this?

However, she could only summon the Crimson Lotus Hammer at will.

……

……

However, Lorne did not expect...

The frozen gate was smashed open by the Crimson Lotus Hammer, revealing an exceptionally magnificent factory.

This place looks like it once housed some enormous structure: steel bars several meters thick stretch overhead, and thick metal pipes and huge metal hooks are visible everywhere.

Several huge gears, each 5 or 6 meters in diameter, stood to one side. Even though they looked like they hadn't been used for a long time, their smooth surfaces showed no signs of aging.

Just as Lonnie was marveling at it, Elusia tugged at the collar around her neck.

"Hmph, you masochistic maid, you must be wondering what this place is for, right?"

"what……"

"If you're willing to let me train you one more time, I'll tell you the answer~"

The black-haired girl smiled dismissively, as if she was certain that Lonnie, this masochist, would agree.

But for Lonnies, Elusia's smile stirred up her competitive spirit as a boy—she had no choice but to act with dignity, at least for now.

Then, the silver-haired maid widened her eyes and said:

"Hmph, fine, I won't tell you. It's not like I'll die if I don't know."

"Alright, now go into that cage."

"In a cage...?"

"Don't make me say it a second time."

"!"

Lonnie was startled. Elusia was referring to a pitch-black cage—the cage was about one square meter in size and two meters high, just big enough for one person to stand in.

Normally, Lonnie would definitely have figured out what to do before going in, but now she was already in a bind and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.

"They went in, and then what?"

"Then... stay inside!"

Elusia walked over and locked the iron cage with a click.

Now, Lornish was like a caged pet, unable to escape her confinement no matter what.

"Elcia, what... what are you doing?!"

"Oh? Who was it that just said 'I won't tell you'?"

"Waaah..."

"It's not too late to beg for mercy now."

"I will not beg for mercy, absolutely not!"

Lonnie blushed; she knew that Elusia was just teasing her.

Although this black-haired beauty is a sadist, she would never actually do anything too outrageous... Just like in the Flame Abyss Temple, even piercing her own palm was to purify the filth.

So as long as you muster up your courage, there's nothing to be afraid of.

……

"Okay, okay, then so be it~"

"what?"

However, Lonnies did not expect that after hearing her decision, Elusia would leave immediately!

Without saying a word, he walked away silently.

Lonnie was terrified...

Although the factory looked magnificent, it was quiet and deserted.

Only dim sunlight slanted in through the dilapidated roof.

Visibility inside the factory wasn't very high; some shadowy areas were completely obscured. A faint chill permeated Lonnie's body, causing her to instinctively hug herself.

(Did I...do I upset Elusia? After all, my current role is that of a maid, and I'm supposed to serve her...)

(But even so, is it really necessary to lock me in a cage?!)

(Hmph, who, who's afraid! Just you wait.)

……

Fifteen minutes passed, and there was still no one around.

……

Half an hour passed, and all around was quiet except for the lonely sound of the wind.

……

An hour passed, and the surrounding environment remained just as cold.

……

Loneliness, desolation, deathly silence

Only the howling wind outside tells the timeless melody of the snow-capped mountains.

As the sun set, visibility decreased further, and Lonnie felt a strange sense of despair.

It was as if the world had been abandoned by the light.

(Wait a minute, abandon?)

Lonnie was taken aback, and then she realized a possibility:

I...Is it possible that Elusia has abandoned me?

Did that guy think I was a nuisance, so he just left me here and went off on his own?

……

Although she knew rationally that such a thing was unlikely, Lonnie couldn't help but have this thought creep into her mind.

After all, girls' bodies are inherently very delicate, and even the slightest noise can turn into instinctive fear.

……

……

And finally...

Lonnie couldn't hold back any longer.

"Elusia, what do you want? Come out here right now!"

Lonnie pounded on the iron cage, but in the empty factory, only her cries echoed in solitude.

"Damn it! How could you treat me like this?! You scheming, sadistic, perverted beautiful girl! I'm a hero! I'm the hero who helped this country! I can't be treated like this!!!"

Lornes dared not stop shouting, for if she did, a nameless fear would arise within her.
