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

It was an ultimate plan led by the loli goddess Alice a thousand years ago to resist an alien civilization... Although many technologies have been forgotten over time, copying is much easier than starting from scratch.

Before long, Dr. Okali reached a crucial conclusion.

“Hmm… Elusia, Zi Yuan’s power can indeed be copied. But in that case, we also need someone to act as a vessel.”

"Carrier?"

"Yes, she is like the Leaf of Silence, and she must bear the power of the Rainbow Abyss. And doing such a thing may be risky... I am very willing to be the executor, but in that case, no one will be able to lead the scientific research."

"Okay, I understand. But Dr. Okali, don't rush. There are still some issues regarding the energy transferability and the analysis of the planet-destroying cannon, right? So, let's focus on that aspect for now."

"Ok."

……

……

Dr. Okali has given Elusia a difficult problem.

Because the copyist of the Dark Abyss power should ideally have no connection with other Rainbow Abysses, and their own physical fitness must be excellent to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment.

Although Elusia herself met this condition, she was ineligible to succeed Lonnie as the Dark Abyss because of her relationship with Lonnie.

Therefore, the best choice actually became...

"Elusia, let Su Ling be the successor of Dark Abyss!"

"Huh? Su-Su-Ling, do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course I know~~ But, didn't Baiye and Sister Lianlan all obtain the power of Rainbow Abyss? I think even if I obtain Dark Abyss, nothing will happen to me."

"No. This kind of thing... well, I'll decide later."

"Huh?! (Disappointed expression)"

"Silly fox, I'm leaving Su Ling in your care. Don't let her take any risks."

"Okay, I understand!"

……

Actually, Lonnies didn't want Su Ling to possess any Dark Abyss power either.

After all, Su Ling is such a lovely girl, and while Hong Yuan's things possess power, they are mostly inextricably linked to 'destiny' and 'responsibility'.

It's not that the inheritors of Rainbow Abyss are bad, but people like Yi Cheng, Lian Lan, and even the Nine-Tailed Fox all seem to have experienced a lot of hardships... and even Bai Ye seems to be very busy on weekdays.

She doesn't feel tired only because she is a doll.

but……

Su Ling lowered her head in disappointment, seemingly somewhat unwilling to accept it.

"Waaah, even Elusia thinks Su Ling is a little kid. But Su Ling... she's all grown up already!"

"what?"

"Of course I know that Hongyuan's power is dangerous. But didn't everyone give their all? Why is Suling the only exception?"

"..."

"Even Xiao Luo, although she's always acting cute with me, she's the one who goes to fight when it matters! If it were any other time and I didn't have the chance, that would be fine, but now... I'm clearly a very suitable backup option, aren't I?"

“Su Ling…”

……

As she gazed at the pink-haired girl's face, Lonnie's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

In a daze, she suddenly remembered something... When Su Ling was working at the maid café, her behavior wasn't as "naive" and "childish" as it was later.

Although she was a very innocent young lady, she acted rather quiet, like a little sister in the shop, which was very endearing.

But now...

Su-ling, however, kept skipping and hopping, and often had a happy expression on her face.

Is it because Su-ling is getting sillier as the journey goes on?

That's not how it works...

It's because Su-ling knows that there will be a lot of tiring and frustrating things during the journey, so she needs someone to liven up the atmosphere and make everyone happy.

So Su-ling happily let loose and made everyone feel at ease.

And so what? Everyone now has "two mascots," so Lornish isn't so embarrassed when she's being teased.

But does this mean that Su-ling wants to stay silly forever?

no……

She also admires the charismatic fighting girl and wants to be a mature and elegant girl like her older sister.

She also imagined possessing extraordinary power, able to use magic to protect the happiness within reach of those around her, just like her companions.

and so……

Should I convey Su Ling's feelings to Elusia?

(Ugh... I'm so conflicted. Am I really such an indecisive person?)

……

Lonnies was unsure how to handle the situation.

But luckily...

Today is the second day.

The teleportation device in the Land of the End has been fully charged once again. This means that Elusia can once again mobilize reinforcements, and this time the choice is...

"Yes, the research needs to be accelerated. And I'm aware of Su Ling's desire, so this time, let's press the orange button!"

"Uh?!"

Lonnie was taken aback, not expecting that although Elusia looked expressionless, she was actually very concerned about Su Ling.

Therefore, amidst the dazzling flashes of light, the girls who appeared before everyone were...

……

"Zhou Mixue has come to apply! Where's my silly little sister? I hope she hasn't caused any trouble for everyone!"

Zhou Mixue was dressed in a very elegant school uniform; she looked exactly like a student representative about to give a speech on stage!

……

"I've also come with Dean Cui Biya to provide support. Please teach me about the handling of the ancient artifacts."

Senior Sister Yan seemed a little uneasy, but she was carrying a large bag on her back—it looked like she was carrying a lot of relics from the ancient academy.

……

"Lonnies, Elusia, your leave of absence is about to expire. You'll need to renew it to maintain your student status."

Dean Cui Biya smiled slightly; she looked quite well, much better than when she was in the academy.

……

And the last people to arrive were...

Who is this orange robot?!

"Yes, I am Yicheng. I transformed myself into a robot because I felt that the robotic arm was nice."

"what?"

"The feeling of not being human is so pleasant! This is a feeling I have never experienced before."

"That's a villain's line, Senior Yicheng! What's going on?!"

……

Lonis's jaw dropped in astonishment as she looked at the robot in front of her!

Chapter 43 Reunion

……

……

Why was Lorne so shocked?

Because in front of her stood an orange robot that was over 2 meters tall!

Her appearance is similar to Jessica and General Tass, but her body shape is more streamlined, and all the paint is very new.

Moreover, she even claimed to be Yicheng's senior, saying:

"Lonnie, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

"Senior, are you...are you seriously injured?"

No.

"Then, why did it have to turn out like this..."

Although Izumi sometimes joined in Elusia's silly antics, Lonnies still greatly admired this senior.

Because she knew that her senior had once challenged General Caster alone, and although she was defeated... she had still managed to gather a lot of information for everyone.

"Well, since I need to consider the possibility of fighting in a vacuum environment, isn't it normal to equip myself with a robotic spacesuit?"

"Ah, a spacesuit?"

"Hmm, it's a spacesuit, and a detachable one at that?"

After saying that, Senior Yicheng disassembled her head... It turns out that this robot, like Lonnies's combat suit (leather suit), is a wearable garment!

This allowed Lonnie to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh...it was just clothing! That scared me to death! I thought you had ripped off your arm like you did in the Vast Ocean!"

"I've thought about that too. Replacing my entire body with a robot would definitely make me a formidable fighting force!"
