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

Then they will have to travel back over a thousand years to save our world.

Ok……

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

But this kind of thing did actually happen.

And he did indeed defeat Castor and become the 'strongest' in the current world.

……

Lornish's mind was still somewhat muddled.

But just then, Elusia stroked her tail again! From root to tip, an electric sensation instantly spread throughout her body—it was incredibly strange!

Lonnies looked up and saw Elusia's malicious smile.

"Hum~"

"Whoa, Elusia, what are you doing?"

"Of course, it's to help you wake up! The little fox is so silly, he needs to perk himself up."

"Ugh..."

"Alright, Su Ling and Bai Ye have already prepared breakfast. If you feel there are no problems, I'll go eat with them."

"Uh-huh……"

Lornish took a deep breath. Thankfully, the previous dream was just a nightmare.

Elusia was still by his side, so...

"Elusia..."

"what happened?"

"N-nothing, it's just that Elusia is so...husband, so beautiful."

"Hmph, isn't that a given? Alright, silly girl, I'll always be with you, don't worry."

Elusia took Lonnie's hand and they walked forward together.

Chapter 4 Celebrating Youth

"call……"

As she ate her hot ramen, Lonnie let out a long sigh of relief.

It's been a long time since we've had such a peaceful daily life. Since heading to the vast ocean, everyone has been constantly busy, and we're almost always on edge even when we're eating.

But what about now?

We've finally resolved most of the issues, so it's time to take a break!

Moreover, the Sun Loli Goddess Alice said that there was no rush and gave everyone time to relax.

It's basically like a holiday, right?

Everyone was free to do whatever they wanted, but Lonnie hadn't expected that almost everyone would choose to stay on the Time Machine and not plan to act alone.

after all……

“Well, I already went home before, so Cecily also thinks it’s better to travel with everyone this time.”

Cecilia nodded and said seriously.

"I think so too. Anyway, it's the holidays at school, and I'd just be stuck in my dorm room if I went back. It's so boring."

Zhou Mixue shrugged, indicating she wasn't planning to leave.

……

Most of the other girls were the same.

After all, everyone had exerted almost all their strength during the previous battle against Caster and needed rest. This was the perfect way to begin the journey after the battle!

only……

……

"Su-Ling, why did you take out your swimsuit?! We're going to the snow mountain, not the beach."

"Hehe, I heard from Jessica that the hot springs in Yan Yuan are really comfortable. So of course I need to prepare some~~~"

"spa……?"

"I also prepared one for Xiao Luo, let's go to a bar together!"

"Oh, Su-ling... Anyway, thank you."

……

……

Actually, Lonese and Elusia's trip to the Snow Kingdom wasn't for fun.

After all, she had now gotten her revenge, so Lonnie thought she should go back and pay her respects to the spirits of her predecessors.

Moreover, she left in such a hurry last time that Lonnie didn't get a chance to properly appreciate the country. She only remembered that everything was frozen under the snow, making it seem extremely lonely.

So this time, cleaning and organizing some useful things can be considered as making up for some regrets, right?

But Lonnie didn't expect... that her companions would also come along, and even Su Ling, a fellow traveler, treated this place like a hot spring trip.

and so……

……

"Elusia, are you alright?"

"Huh? What do you mean it's not related?"

Elusia frowned, looking at Lonese with a rather "arrogant" gaze.

"So, going back to the Snow Kingdom, won't that make you a little sad...?"

"Hmph, of course there's sadness. After all, that's where I lived as a child, but... things have developed to this point, I think I should let it go."

"what?"

“Death is not a shackle to imprison the living, but a banner to encourage them to keep moving forward. It was because I couldn’t be completely at peace before that Castor seized the opportunity and repelled me.”

"what……"

"So, Su Ling was right. Let's take this opportunity to have a good time in the Snow Kingdom. Don't worry, silly boy, I'm not just putting on a brave face."

Seeing the faint smile on Elusia's lips, Lonnies understood that Elusia had completely let go.

because……

If we accept what Alice says, it means accepting the reality of the Snow Country's destruction.

Cause and effect cannot be altered, and those who have died cannot be brought back.

Perhaps all of this is like fate, inevitably leading to a past we will not regret.

However, this is the trajectory that our lives are marked by, so there is no need to choose to escape it.

Choosing to forgive fate is also choosing to forgive yourself.

For Elcia to have prepared for revenge for over a century, yet ultimately choose to understand everything, is truly remarkable.

and so……

Hehe~~~

"Hmph, what are you grinning about, you little fool? Is your ear itchy again?"

"No, no! It's just that my wife seems really amazing!"

"Huh, wife?"

In the past, Lonnies wouldn't even dare to mention her wife, let alone think about it; she would have been bullied by Elcia.

But what about now?

The black-haired girl merely blushed slightly, and her large eyes looked at Lonnies with a hint of displeasure, but she didn't actually make any move.

"Hmph, it's fine if you call me that in private, but wait until later, if you dare to call me 'wife' in front of a crowd, I'll definitely bully you to death."

"Okay, thank you, Elusia, my wife!"

"You're pushing your luck, aren't you? Humph, pinch my ear!"

"Ouch, don't pinch me!!"

……

Just as Lonnies and Elusia were fooling around, there was a knock on the door of the breakfast room.

……

"Knock knock knock, have you two finished eating?"

"Yes, it's Senior Yicheng, please come in!"

……

Senior Yicheng walked in, but now what was covering her eyes was no longer a black cloth, but a metal ring.

Although the Demon Lord of Deceit did not intend to kill during the final battle, Yicheng became the girl who sacrificed the most... In order to see through Caster's situation, Senior Yicheng accepted a lot of knowledge that exceeded her capacity.

This caused blood to flow from the senior student's eyes. Although she received timely treatment, she needed to wear this device to recover for a short period of time.

……

"Senior Yicheng, what's wrong?"

"Hmm... Junior Elusia, I can sense that there seems to be a powerful being lingering over in the Snow Kingdom."

"A powerful being..."
