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

"That's true, the little fox is so cute. It can't sleep well without its owner."

"No, no, I didn't!"

……

To prove that she could sleep alone, Lonnie lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep.

Compared to last night, the towering waves had subsided considerably, so the slight rocking of the ship did not make Lonnie uncomfortable at all; in fact, it allowed her to sleep very comfortably.

The bed comes with built-in restraint straps, so there's no need to worry about the risk of rolling off the bed.

And when Lorne woke up again...

But it was already evening!

The setting sun slanted through the glass, casting its golden rays into the room. The pristine white curtains and soft sheets were bathed in this warm yellow light, creating a cozy atmosphere.

It seems that the storm has passed.

"Ugh...did I sleep for so long?"

Lornes twitched her ears, trying to sit up in bed, but only then did she notice…

My ears are wet!

Moreover, if you smell it carefully, you can also smell a very familiar scent.

This means that...

While he was fast asleep, that cunning little Elusia hugged him in her arms like a pillow.

And that wasn't enough; she was even biting her own ear! It was fortunate that Lonnie was fast asleep; otherwise, she would have been mortified by being toyed with like this by the girl.

"Never mind, I'm so hungry, I'd better eat something first..."

……

Lonnie yawned and prepared to leave the room to find something to eat in the kitchen.

but……

"Huh, nobody's here?"

Lonnie looked around. The ship was usually quite lively. After all, Su Ling had a restless personality, and Candel often went to fool around with Cecilia, making a lot of noise from time to time.

However, the interior of the ship was now completely silent, without a sound.

Are people...sleeping?

With these thoughts in mind, Lonnies cautiously went to her companions' bedrooms.

But she was shocked to discover...

The rooms of my companions were also empty; there wasn't a single person there!

Whether it was the senior students' rooms, Su Ling's room, Princess's room, Bai Ye's room, or Candel's room, they were all empty and completely silent.

Not only that, Lonnie also discovered that the Time Machine was now anchored on the sea, as if it had been dropped.

What happened in the end?

Are you guys trying to scare me?

But I clearly didn't do anything wrong...

A sudden sense of panic arose in Lonnie's heart. An unease compelled the silver-haired girl to search the entire ship thoroughly.

She searched even in prison and in closets.

but……

But there was still no trace of them.

Even more bizarrely, Lonnie found a half-eaten mini cake on the restaurant table.

On the living room table, I found a half-finished glass of cold coffee.

But their owners have all disappeared...

Lorne searched anxiously, while the sun gradually sank into the sea, night fell, and everything was enveloped in darkness.

Now, the entire ship seemed even more empty and lonely.

There was no response whatsoever. No matter how much Lornish called out, all that echoed in her ears was the sound of her own footsteps.

"Elusia, you big softie, where did you go?! Su Ling, stop hiding!!! Everyone, where did you all go?!!!!"

Lornes used all her strength, but still received no response.

Moreover, Lonnie didn't find any trace of her companions, or even a note.

Now, she has finally realized a fact...

It seems something terrible has happened to everyone.

Now, he was the only one left on the entire ship.

……

Upon realizing this, Lonnie's heart turned icy cold.

An indescribable sense of confusion and despair spread throughout the little fox's body, so oppressive that she could barely breathe.

Because she had no idea what had happened, or what the current situation was like for everyone.

Everything before my eyes was like a nightmare, so bizarre. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been driven insane by this sudden change, going a little crazy.

but……

Lonnies, however, is not a normal person.

Although some time has passed, and although I've become a girl, the hero... is still a hero?

On her journey to save the world, Lonnies spent most of her time traveling alone. Even in the dark and boundless demon realm, even in dungeons full of traps, she mustered the courage to overcome them.

and so……

"Calm down, Lonnies, you need to calm down!"

Lornes has this kind of personality.

If Elusia were around, she might be turned into a soft, whimpering little girl by her wife, and her brain would be dull, unable to understand many things.

But when she's alone, her mind becomes incredibly clear.

First, it can be confirmed that...

The ship's interior functions were relatively intact, and there were no signs of external attack.

This means that the ship didn't hit a reef, but came to an unexpected stop. And the fact that they didn't leave a note also suggests that they weren't out running errands.

So, in that case...

Was all of this caused by the unusual nature of the storm?

The ship had sailed into the vast ocean, so some kind of curse appeared, causing everyone to disappear?

But the curse...

Is it still possible to do something like that?

Could it be a strong magnetic field, or... a shadow beast?

In a daze, Lonnies remembered the legend of the Shadow Beasts. Senior Sister Luo Zhisheng said that the Shadow Beasts were an old natural disaster in the Drowned Isles.

Judging from the season, it's currently the Lunar New Year period, which is also a time when this monster is more likely to appear.

but……

Even if the Shadow Beast has affected everything, what should I do?

After all, no one had ever seen that monster, and there was no evidence that those attacked by the Shadow Beasts could survive.

So, does this mean everyone has already...?

"No, calm down. Lonnies, you need to calm down. Elusia is such a cunning girl, she definitely won't just die like that!"

Lonnie shook her head. She didn't believe that someone as powerful as Elusia, Senior Yicheng, and Princess Cecilu could die so easily.

It's just that everyone may be in some kind of predicament and needs their own help.

If that's the case...

So what can I do?

……

As Lorne pondered deeply, her palms sweating profusely...

But then it suddenly saw a glimmer of light flashing outside the window.

"That thing is..."

The girl stared in astonishment, pressed her face against the glass, and finally saw what it was.

A small, glowing fish.

Its wings floated slowly, as bright and dazzling as a fairy's ribbons.

But if you look up at the sky...

It was a group of starfish.

They drifted along the sea of ​​clouds in the night, forming a ribbon that looked like the Milky Way.

Chapter 49 Island of Eternal Night

"These fish are called Starfish. Legend has it that they were formed from the souls of fallen heroes, so they can guide people even on dark nights..."

In a daze, Lonnies recalled Elusia's words.

The girl's murmurs were still so vivid in my mind, as if they had happened just a moment ago. But now, that cunning girl had also vanished.
