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

And what about this black-haired girl?

But he didn't try to dodge; he just looked at himself.

Looking at Elusia now, Lonnies understood... the real Elusia should still be deep in the vast ocean, and not on the Time Traveler at all.

Therefore, all of this is nothing but a delusion that I have created myself.

Just like my journey to becoming a hero, all of this is unreal, it's all my own...

"Silly boy, what are you thinking about now?"

"Huh, Ai, Ailucia..."

"Did you think I was unreal? Well, here I am right in front of you."

"what?!"

Lonnies was taken aback. She knew it was just a dream, but Elusia's reaction felt so real.

The curve of his lips and the disdain in his eyes were so exquisite, it was as if I had witnessed it countless times.

and so……

"Elusia, I..."

"Pat on the head."

"what?"

"Here's a pat on the head as a reward. Hmm, little fox, you've already worked very hard. So it's okay to rest for a while."

Elusia patted Lonnies's little head.

But that fleeting touch was so warm... This comfortable feeling was so warm that Lonnie didn't want to wake up, as if she wanted to stay immersed in Elcia's touch forever.

(Elcia, I really... like you so much?)

(I love your mischievous expression, I love your kind heart. I love your bright and delicate eyes...)

but……

Dreams, after all, must end, right?

Even with the deepest longing,

Even if it's incredibly hard to part...

But illusion is still illusion...

It's time to open your eyes.

When Lonnie woke up, she was already in tears.

She slumped into the driver's seat. It turned out that she had fallen asleep because she was so exhausted and overwhelmed.

And what about right now?

It's still empty.

Not only was Elusia nowhere to be seen in the cockpit, but the outside was also shrouded in mist, appearing completely unchanged.

(So, I really am still a coward?)

Realizing this, Lonnie sighed.

How she wished the scenes in her dream could become reality!

However, such a thing is simply impossible.

All of this is just my own delusion, nothing more than a cowardly escape...

Unless I muster up the courage myself, is it impossible to reunite with Elcia?

With these thoughts in mind, Lonnie prepared to start the engine and embark on her journey again.

But then...

Lonnie stared in surprise, her eyes widening.

"H-How is this possible?!"

Lornish clearly remembered that yesterday she didn't know how to operate these buttons and was completely unfamiliar with many of the system's functions.

But now, everything seemed to have a built-in interpreter, presented precisely before her eyes... With just a glance, Lonnie knew what each button did and what each dashboard represented.

Lonnie realized that she was practically cheating, and could now control the ship at will.

"Why is this happening... uh!!"

While pondering, the girl gasped.

It was a dream!!

In the dream, Elusia sat beside her and taught her how to control the ship!

The girl guided me step by step, helping me overcome one difficult obstacle after another. She also taught me how to fight back when facing monsters.

But how could something like that be possible?

How could you possibly know things you didn't know in a dream?

unless……

……

"what?!"

Lornes clapped her hands; she suddenly remembered…

Isn't this exactly how I've come this far?

Wasn't my experience as a hero precisely what I lived through in a dream?!

Even though she has become a girl, that experience has not disappeared and still occasionally helps her make many correct choices.

and so……

"Elcia, was it you who helped me just now? With that... illusion-inducing ability?!"

There has still been no response.

But at this moment, Lonnie felt no sadness at all.

The girl gripped the steering wheel.

Because she not only knew that Elcia was still alive, but also because a belief constantly echoed in Lonnie's heart—no matter how far apart they were, Elcia was always by her side.

Even if they are separated, that cunning girl will still be able to feel her own joys and sorrows.

and so……

To put Elusia's worries at ease.

I can no longer be sad, nor can I pretend to be strong.

Because although the journey of a hero is illusory, the reward at the end is real.

I will make Elusia my wife!

He would put on a beautiful suit and then marry Elusia, who was wearing a wedding dress!

"Hehe~~"

Lonnie had just given a silly grin, but then...

"Huh, huh?! Why does my head hurt a little...?"

"Waaaa, Elusia, please stop bullying me! Waaaaah... I know I was wrong!!"

Chapter 61 A Monster Like a Mummy

After that, Lonnies still encountered some monsters, and just like in her dream, she did encounter some floating rocks.

In the past, this would have made Lonnie feel flustered, but now, Lonnie feels extremely comfortable with it.

Activate protective measures!

Activate the ultrasonic repellent device!

Although the dangers she encountered were not exactly the same as those in her dream, and several unexpected events occurred, Lonnie managed to escape danger time and again thanks to her skillful maneuvering and good luck.

And so, she traveled on the vast ocean for another day.

But the scene that appeared before her eyes at dusk left Lonnie... somewhat surprised and stunned.

"What...what is this? A pyramid?"

Lonnie looked around and discovered that many pyramid-like structures had appeared in the thick fog.

However, this thing is not like a pyramid, which is a pentahedron... In fact, the surface of this substance is full of fluorescent rays, and it is colorful, which is almost unlike the substances in this world.

Something unusual must be going on, so Lornish quickly stopped and prepared to use the Clear Staff to do some analysis.

……

……

Detection results: World metal, bismuth crystal.

"This is a rare metal with extremely weak radioactivity, once considered the most stable substance with the highest proton number. In the previous era, it was one of the important raw materials for alchemy."

……

"The era before that?!"

Upon hearing this, Lonnie gasped.

Could it be that our own civilization was built upon the foundation of a civilization that was destroyed in the past?

So, in that case, here...

Lonnie was just about to analyze something when, at the same time, the alarm went off.
