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

"Elcia, can I also obtain this power? This sounds like the best thing ever! It's not a static item, but a completely unknown curse! That way, when I'm fighting, I don't know what I'll encounter next!"

"Hmm, not for now. Because Lonnie can only use it on herself at the moment, but I don't know what will happen in the future."

"Waaaa... Elusia, help me..."

Being stared at like that by everyone, Lonnies felt like she had lost all face.

She tried to crawl into a crack in the ground, but whenever she lay down, she would be subjected to strange electric shocks!

The tingling sensation that spread throughout my body was like being trapped in a tight, airtight net; no matter how much I struggled, I could only sink deeper and deeper.

"Alright, alright, silly boy, don't worry. These little trinkets are temporary, just like the Rainbow Abyss weapon. They're not irretrievable."

"what?"

"This time, I'll remove them all for you. But next time, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

……

And that's how things turned out.

Although Lonnie's abilities had grown, which was something she had always dreamed of... this ability was also a bit too strange.

……

After a period of testing and rest, it's time for today's most important and crucial step.

The Dark Abyss has been copied for the second time!

Lornes is a completely different person now than before.

She not only has the experience from last time, but also has a certain foundation in the Dark Abyss, so no matter what, she will be a step further than last time.

"Alright, little fox, hurry up and get on this thing."

"What...what is this?!"

Lonnie blushed. Although she was bullied by Elusia every day and tried all sorts of strange gadgets, she still felt weak in the knees when she saw this thing in front of her.

Because it stands in the center of the room?

It was a plush horse!

Just like a real horse, this plush horse is decorated in a gorgeous way. It not only has a horse's head and back, but even its legs can extend and retract, giving you the feeling of riding a rocking horse in an amusement park.

But that's precisely the problem!

Why are there buckle-like things on the saddle?

and……

What's with those manes on the horse's back?

I have a feeling...

"Alright, you silly goose, hurry up and get on, and fasten your seatbelt."

"what?"

"Since you've never ridden a horse before, fasten your seatbelt first, okay? Heh heh!"

"Ughhh!"

With her legs locked to the saddle, Lonnies had no chance of getting off the furry horse.

My bottom landed on the soft horsehair, and while it felt comfortable at first, what if...?

……

"Okay, now put your hands behind your back and start fastening the second seatbelt."

"No, no!!!"

Lonnie struggled, but to no avail.

Soon, her hands were also fixed behind her back, her chest was forced to stick out, and she could only ride the plush horse in a very interesting posture.

"Hehe, little silly, your white stockings and legs are so long, they feel so good to touch."

"Elcia, what are we doing? Didn't we agree... to conduct the second Dark Abyss test?"

"Hmm, so this is the second Dark Abyss Test?"

"Based on the previous reaction, the key difference lies in the fact that the first time, Lonnies appeared to be moving in the hyperdimensional world, but her actual body remained still."

"!"

"This would create a feeling of separation between the body and soul, similar to motion sickness. But this time, the plush horse can move freely up and down, forward and backward, based on the returned parameters, achieving 100% synchronization?"

"Waaah!"

"Alright, let's put on our helmets and get started right away?"

……

……

Although she couldn't see her own face, Lonnie knew that she must look very strange.

Because he was wearing a heavy knight's helmet, which completely covered his ears and mouth.

And what about myself?

She was wearing a very cute, soft, form-fitting dress.

Beneath the 26-centimeter pleated skirt were her long, white-stockinged legs... But despite her reluctance, the owner of those legs had to grip the saddle tightly and was forced into a riding posture.

And then...

……

"Team Leader Lonnie, the energy input has been completed."

"Alright, let's begin the second Dark Abyss Replication Ritual. Good luck, you silly goose!"

It was pitch black again.

Just like last time, Lonnies felt as if her consciousness had drifted to a very far place.

What's the difference?

This time, I had some physical tactile sensation.

Although it was a dreamlike state, I could still feel the texture of the horse's mane and the sensation of the seatbelt digging into my thighs.

My own chest was swaying up and down, which was extremely strange.

"What kind of plot development is this? It's absolutely bizarre!"

……

However, Lonnie was somewhat reluctant.

However, it is undeniable that these devices are very effective.

Although countless messages still surfaced before his eyes, the images and memories were no longer as chaotic and disorderly as a tide.

……

I can clearly and logically look at any one of the segments.

It can also be roughly summarized as a collection of memories from a certain period of time.

……

Gradually, Lonnies also began to understand some things.

These moments in the abyss were undoubtedly extremely heavy.

Because they represent the end, destruction, the end of the rainbow, and the end of everything.

Just like everything in this world, nothing can escape death.

It contained far too many scenes of death. That's why the oppressive atmosphere made Lonnie gasp for breath the first time.

but……

Why should people fear or revere death?

Faced with this question, different people may have different answers.

But for someone like Lorne who has already died twice...

Death is probably caused by longing for the beauty that has passed away?

I can't bear to lose those precious memories, and I can't bear to part with the time I spent with everyone.

So, if Lonnie were to give an answer...

That is……

Respecting death is to respect every moment of life.

Chapter 68 The Great Cataclysm

"Um……"

With a faint, throbbing sensation, Lonnie slowly awoke.

She had expected to hear Elusia's voice from around her, but instead... she was simply lying on a flat blanket, with no one around her.

(Ugh...Isn't he/she here?)

Not far away was the fluffy horse that had bullied him earlier, its fluffy mane still adorned with glistening dewdrops.

Lonnie blushed, but she quickly realized... perhaps because she was too busy, after she finished her test, Elusia had arranged for her to rest here.

(Hmm... how gentle, they even provided me with a small pillow. But how frequently are they testing me? Are they meeting my expectations?)

Although she wasn't aiming for 100% replication, Lonnie was thinking of at least passing, at least reaching 60%.
