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

……

After saying that, Elusia frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

Because she didn't understand what the enemy's plan was... Although the attack was fierce, it couldn't pose a real threat to the girls; it could only buy them some time.

However, in doing so, the opponent has already used up one of their trump cards.

With the girls on guard, they naturally wouldn't let the black moth get close again so easily.

"Damn it, what are these guys planning? Could it be that they've already noticed my trump card? That shouldn't be... Hmm, hmm?"

Unable to figure out the enemy's plan, Elusia's expression turned extremely serious. Her sharp eyes looked as if she wanted to kill.

but……

"Lonnies, go and comfort Her Highness."

"Hey, Jessica..."

Lonnie turned her head, not expecting Jessica to ask her to do this.

After all, in the past, if he disturbed Elusia's thinking, this cunning girl would get very angry and might even activate the remote control directly.

So now...

"Jessica, if I go over now, will it disturb Elusia's thoughts?"

"Hmm... Actually, Princess Elusia has already finished thinking it over, but because of her status, she can't tell everyone that she has no solution, so she can only stubbornly continue to think about it."

"!!!"

"At this point, you need to help her. Help her change her mindset, and maybe she'll have a new inspiration."

"!"

Lonnie raised her ears in surprise, because she remembered... back in the Kingdom of Mingjin, when the girls fell for the Demon Lord's scheme, Elusia had done the same thing.

She locked herself in her room for three days and three nights, concentrating her efforts to come up with a way to turn things around.

and so……

Elusia isn't invincible after all, is she?

This cunning young woman is very intelligent, but she is, after all, just a person, and just a cute girl. In crucial moments, she needs everyone's help and support.

So……

"Elusia, hug me!"

"what?"

The black-haired girl was stunned, because she never expected that Lonnie, that silly fox, would actually pounce into her arms.

And in front of other people, they're so shamelessly sticking to me... And those big, furry ears? They're pressed directly against my breasts, it's incredibly itchy and tingling.

So, Elusia quickly grabbed Lonnie, but she couldn't bear to hurt the silly fox, so she just tried to push her away...

"Silly fox, what are you doing!"

"Nothing much, my wife is so cute, let's cuddle..."

"Damn it, Lonnies, if you keep acting like this, I'm going to get angry!"

Although the remote control could be activated, everyone was in the car, so Elusia wanted to give Lonnie some face.

However, Lonnies remained unrepentant, continuing to press closer and cling to Elusia. Her black and silver hair intertwined, and her white and black stockings were tangled together.

and so……

"Pinch the tail!"

"Wow!"

Once her tail was pinched, Lonnie couldn't cause any more trouble.

The silver-haired girl collapsed to her knees, seemingly exhausted, but even so, she still clung to Elusia's legs, unwilling to let go.

"Waaah... Elusia is so scary..."

"Lonnies, what exactly do you want? Tell me now, stop fooling around."

"Hehe, actually it's like this... I felt there was danger ahead, so I thought I might be able to help Her Highness the Princess somewhere!"

"what?"

"Your Highness, are you worried about Castor? So, I should help!"

"You, you bastard..."

Elusia took a deep breath, knowing that Lonnies was concerned about her.

So, she could only shake her head and explain:

"Since you're so eager to know about this, I'll tell you. I've already guessed Castor's plan. His goal is probably to invert the moon and aim the dark matter planet destroyer at the ground."

"what?"

"Because in this way, it can bring catastrophe to the Earth. And that guy? He can also realize his long-held goal of tracing back to the source, bringing evolution to Earth's species, and proving his power."

"!"

"What he seeks is ultimate power, just as he did back in the Doomsday Independent Kingdom. So, we must stop him... and the best way is to go to the Land of the End first."

"This is insane..."

"As for why the Demon Lord of Deceit collected the seven powers of Rainbow Abyss, I have no idea. But it certainly isn't for anything good, and we absolutely cannot let him succeed."

"Hmm... By the way, Elusia, there's something I've been wanting to ask. What kind of being is that Demon Lord of Tricks? Is he the Demon King I defeated in the Land of the End?"

……

Of course, Lonnies still remembered that she had saved the world by defeating the Demon King, allowing everyone to leave satisfied.

but……

"No, the demon king you defeated was actually defeated by me long ago... After seeing your fighting style, I challenged him, defeated him, and obtained his power."

"what?"

"Otherwise, how could I possibly resemble a demon? Even my sword is jet black. Although that demon king is powerful, his strength is only at the peak of the 8th rank, roughly the same as Caster's, but completely incomparable to the Demon Lord of Tricks."

"Then, the Demon Lord of Tricks is..."

"Well, the most 'cunning' thing about the Demon Lord of Deception is that people have no idea what its true form is."

"!"

"Whether it's me or anyone else, people have absolutely no idea about its personality, appearance, age, or even where it is."

"Ah...ah? Then, does that mean the Demon Lord of Tricks might just be a legend? Perhaps, he doesn't even exist?"

Lonnies' eyes lit up as she came up with this possibility.

"Hmm, I've had that thought before. But the idea that the Demon Lord of Deception doesn't exist might just be playing right into his hands."

"!"

"Moreover, it's impossible for General Caster alone to destroy the Snow Kingdom... There must be some higher-level power, some more terrifying being guiding everything, and that guy is the Trickster Demon Lord."

Elusia looked into the distance, her gaze becoming unfocused.

Chapter 38 The Usefulness of Lornish the Little Fool

Lonnies's intention, of course, was to help Elusia stabilize her emotions and think about happy things.

But she didn't expect that the conversation would turn into a heavy topic... And whenever the Snow Kingdom was mentioned, Elusia seemed to become a different person, her temperament became solemn and melancholy, and her eyes no longer had their usual cunning.

So Lonnie quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Elusia!"

"I'm sorry... Lonnies, why are you apologizing?"

"Because I wanted to talk to Elusia about something happy. But I accidentally reminded you of something bad again."

"Huh? What's so bad about that? So many years have passed."

Elusia shrugged helplessly, and although she acted as if it didn't matter, Lonnies knew that the past still had a great influence on Elusia.

Otherwise, she would have pinched her own tail long ago, making herself feel incredibly embarrassed.

"Hmm... I think perhaps the core members of Aiya, or even Dean Cui Biya, might have some information about the Demon Lord of Tricks? Maybe we could contact them if we have the chance?"

Lonnie remembered that Dean Tribea and Core Aya had both lived for over a thousand years, products of the previous era. As robot puppets, they must have kept records, right?

but……

"Yes, it did exist, but it was deleted a long time ago."

"W-What do you mean?"

"Over a hundred years ago, there was a hacking attack on the robots. Although we don't know exactly what happened, since then, information about the Demon Lord of Tricks and much of the data from the previous era has been lost."

"!"

"Teacher Tsukimi Shimo seems to know something. But she didn't tell me. She just said that if I can form a bond with my partner and cooperate with each other, I will definitely succeed."

"That's good, then Elusia won't have to worry anymore."

Lonis imitated Su Ling, hopping and skipping around... her fox ears and tail swayed back and forth, making her look incredibly cute~~~

However, this made Elusia sigh even more: "That's true, but what does it mean to form a bond with your partner and cooperate with each other?"

"what?"

"For example, if I turn on the remote control now, does that count as working together?"

"Aaaaaah, no!!!"

Lonnie was so frightened that she clung to Elusia's leg again.

Having said that, she understood the situation Elusia was facing... Traditionally, partners usually deepen their cooperation through training and improve their skills in battle.

But what about myself and Elusia...?

How exactly should I practice?
