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

"what?"

"When ordinary people get injured, they are left with scars. But because of me... well, because of my extraordinary experience, no matter what kind of wound it is, it heals naturally on my skin."

"Wow, that's amazing?!"

The girls were even more surprised to hear Lornes say that.

Lonnie gave a wry smile and continued, "So my experience might not be very practical for most people. But generally speaking, if you find a pair of gloves that fit you well, it's very helpful. They can protect you from the sun on a daily basis and also protect the skin on your hands and arms from burns caused by corrosive liquids."

"Long gloves... Ah, I see."

"Yes, and also remember to shower frequently and keep your body clean..."

Chapter 42 Elusia and the Tea Party

The tea party proceeded very smoothly.

The girls who participated were very enthusiastic and asked many interesting questions.

such as……

……

"Your Highness, are you actually a member of the royal family? That silver-white hair is so beautiful!"

"I... I actually have a slight connection, but I wasn't originally a member of the Mingjin Kingdom's royal family."

……

"Your Highness, I heard that you recently went to the unknown end to fight those terrifying enemies. Could you please tell me some things about it?"

"Ah, things..."

"Well, actually I'm planning to write a mythological anime with a princess and a hero as the main themes. So I'd like to do some research."

"Actually... I didn't do much. It was mainly because everyone was very capable, and we worked together to defeat the Demon Lord of Tricks. I think the most difficult part was probably the preparation."

"Oh……"

"When you don't know who the enemy is, you're very nervous. But when you face them calmly, you don't need to think about anything else except fighting."

……

……

"Your Highnesses, this is a specialty tea from our hometown. We hope you will like it."

"Thank you... Mmm, it tastes delicious."

……

Talking with so many girls in such a normal and gentle atmosphere, Lonnie unconsciously felt as if she had become a real girl herself.

Everywhere you look, you see exquisite faces; every dish you taste is elegant and delicious; everyone is friendly and considerate.

It feels completely different from being with Elusia!

Because that scheming young lady would either grab her tail or pinch her ears. She would bully her if she was even slightly naughty. She was just too mean!

---------------------

……

……

"Achoo!"

Elusia, who was exploring the cave, sneezed loudly.

This made Luo Zhisheng, who was traveling with him, look worried: "Junior Elusia, are you alright?"

"Hmm, it's nothing... Hmph, it's just that one guy seems to be pushing his luck again."

Elusia bit her lip angrily. If she had nothing else to do, she would love to sneak over to Lonnie's side and bully that little idiot!

But right now she's doing something crucial with the exploration team, so she can't go back?

So, all we can do is...

"Everyone get ready, we're about to approach the ruins' antechamber. There might be some unexpected events, so we need to be alert."

"understand!"

……

The Mingjin Kingdom, led by King Ruohui, is a vast country.

Because this place is on the edge of human civilization, there are not many large cities. In addition, due to the years of fighting with the demons, the population density is low and the economic development level of many places is also low.

However, it is precisely because of this that...

Many uninhabited areas of the Mingjin Kingdom actually contain numerous ancient ruins. Among them, there may still be some surviving souls of heroes, never to be awakened.

Now that the war is over, Elusia plans to explore this place with everyone.

It was only because Lonnies was sick that Elusia didn't call her over... Anyway, since the biggest threat, the Demon Lord of Deception, had become an ally, the girls didn't need to worry about any opponents they couldn't defeat in this world.

However, even so...

The monster that suddenly emerged from the darkness still made everyone gasp.

……

Because it was an incredibly large shadow.

It has no specific shape; only when it attacks does a sharp scythe materialize in its hands—its speed is so unpredictable that even Luo Zhisheng couldn't dodge it in time.

"Oh no... This is terrible!"

"Luo Zhisheng, step back, let me handle this."

Lianlan, wielding the Vast Ocean Sword, charged towards the monster.

Back then, even when facing the incredibly powerful General Miba, Lianlan was able to maneuver and fight back, buying precious time for the girls to battle.

However, Lianlan was no match for the monster. Although her sword blades intertwined to form a wave-like sword formation, the monster's figure was not hindered at all and attacked directly.

"how is this possible?"

Lian Lan gasped, her arm pierced straight through!

Although it wasn't a serious injury, it greatly affected Lianlan's combat strength. She could only endure the pain and fight back while dodging.

“Lianlan, this guy… can’t be dealt with using common sense.”

……

Although Elusia hasn't activated her princess form yet, she has already realized that the dark figure before her is not something that should exist in this world.

How should I describe it?

It's like you use a program to build a virtual world, but since this world isn't the real world, bugs are bound to occur.

Elusia knew perfectly well that the world at present was a "closed-loop world" constructed by Alice using the knowledge of "paradox".

Although everyone in the world is living their lives normally, there will inevitably be some oversights.

The dark shadow in front of me might represent something.

and so……

Elusia summoned the black sword and said:

"Everyone step back, I'll deal with it!"

"Elusia?!"

"Looks like I have to get serious. Princess form, activate!"

……

……

-------------------

……

……

While at the tea party, Lonnie was surprised to find that the girls present were not just pretty.

In fact, they received a fairly advanced education from a young age and have a strong ability to accept new things.

Moreover, each of them has at least one area of ​​expertise. It can be said that even if they did not marry based on their beauty or live off their family's wealth, they could still live very well based solely on their area of ​​expertise.

……

(I never imagined that the Mingjin Kingdom would place such importance on cultivating girls' abilities. It's definitely not at the level of "a lack of talent is a virtue"!)

……

Lornish was somewhat moved, just as she wanted to tell everyone more about the customs and culture of the Kingdom of Mingjin.

A strange feeling suddenly welled up inside her!

Immediately afterwards, it felt like she had been punched in the lower abdomen; she felt an electric current spreading from there, making her body go numb instantly.

"Your Highness the Brave?"

Are you alright?

Seeing that Lorne almost spilled her teacup, the girls asked worriedly.

"N-nothing..."

However, the discomfort was only momentary, and Lonnie quickly returned to normal.

However, just as she was about to thank everyone and indicate that she was alright...
