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

(Could it be... that without Lornish, I've become a useless piece of trash too?)

……

Elusia closed her eyes, but although she didn't want to admit it, the feeling of fighting alone was completely different from when she was with Lonnies.

With the little fool by his side, he had plenty of confidence to challenge either Castor or the Demon Lord of Tricks, and his thinking was incredibly focused, so he wouldn't be swayed by his emotions.

but now……

However, he repeatedly hit a wall and couldn't use any tactics.

……

(Stay calm, even if it's to protect that silly little fox, you must stay calm...)

Chapter 44 Lonnies's Determination

With everyone's care, Lonnies is feeling a little better.

Although the current was still surging through her wrist, at least for now, the sensation was something Lonnie could tolerate.

The fact that she wasn't being looked at with strange eyes made Lonnie feel much better.

It looks like...

My journey with Elusia has indeed been very meaningful and valuable.

There are quite a few people who trust me. Although I sometimes feel a bit awkward, I have never given up on my dream and perseverance as a warrior.

So……

……

"Princess Cecilu, may I ask you a favor?"

"Yes, of course. Shall we temporarily suspend the tea party and go back to rest?"

Although it was a pity that the event was canceled due to an unexpected incident, the girls, including Larona, all nodded in understanding.

But Lonnie shook her head and said:

"No... Elusia is fighting, and I... want to get to her side."

"what?!"

"Princess Cecilu, could you please use your teleportation magic? Please."

Lonnies took a deep breath and said this.

Since she had so many cursed items on her, it proved that Elusia's situation was not very optimistic.

but……

"Lonnies, but your health isn't good right now."

"It's alright. At least, I must get there."

“Okay, I understand. I’ll go help too. As a princess of the Kingdom of Corlottia, it’s my duty.”

Cecily nodded and quickly began making the arrangements.

However, at the same time...

"Your Highness, please allow me to follow as well."

"what?"

"I want to join the fight too! I'm not a weak woman, I'm very capable in combat."

The woman named Larona spoke earnestly, and the other girls, hearing this, also cast concerned glances at her: "If possible, could I help too? I know some healing magic!"

"This……"

Looking at these girls, Lonnies was already quite shocked.

Perhaps it was because she was a boy in the past? She instinctively felt that girls should be protected in the rear and should stay at home like treasures.

However, the young ladies of the Mingjin Kingdom are all incredibly brave. In the palace, they can enjoy a very cozy tea party, but once a battle breaks out, they can pick up weapons without hesitation and engage in fierce combat.

and so……

(Oh, right, I remember Cecily once said that most of the nobles in the Kingdom of Memoria have some kind of Clotia blood. And Elusia's mother was one of them... No wonder Elusia has such an elegant air about her.)

……

Feeling everyone's good intentions, Lonnie nodded:

"Alright then. But everyone remember to follow instructions and don't be reckless."

"Ok!"

"Princess Cecilu, I'm counting on you from now on."

"Do not worry."

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

After the light of the teleportation disappeared...

The girls arrived at an unusually dark corridor.

There were no lights here, only the faint glow of the magic crystal lanterns that everyone had prepared in advance—the corridor looked like it hadn't been set foot in for hundreds of years, the ground covered with a thick layer of dust. The surrounding air was also eerily gloomy.

"I'm sorry, Heroine Lonnies, my location isn't very accurate; it might be slightly off from Elusia's position."

"It's alright, just getting to the vicinity is enough."

Lonnie sighed with slight relief.

Although she didn't know Elusia's location after arriving here, she could sense that Elusia was generally alright.

Therefore, there's no need to rush now. The most important thing is to confirm the situation here and find a way to indirectly help Elusia.

……

“Cercilu, this ruin is…”

"Yes, this ruin is a cemetery located in the northeast of the kingdom. Legend has it that it is the burial place of ancient warriors."

"Ancient warriors?"

Lonnies took a deep breath. She and Elusia had also entered the ruins and encountered Suna and the Fallen Hero.

If this place is similar to that place, it should also have a control center, a place to store the coffin of the soul, and a place to forge the body.

So, does that mean Elcia was actually attacked by the Fallen Hero?

But what kind of fallen hero could possibly defeat the current Elcia?

How strange...

……

However, although she cared about these things, Lonnies also knew that staying put would not solve these mysteries.

So after confirming that there was no unusual activity around her, she addressed everyone:

"Then, shall we go ahead and see what lies ahead?"

"Yes, Your Highness, are you alright?"

"I've gotten a little used to it, hmm... hmm, as long as I'm not suddenly attacked, I should be fine, right?"

……

……

And so, the group walked deeper into the ruins.

Although Lonnies was a little nervous at first, she became less afraid as she walked.

Because, speaking of which...

Was it I who was reborn from such a dark place?

The End of the World back then wasn't much safer than this place; there were many hidden lunar monsters on the outskirts, and everything was just as uncertain and mysterious.

So, when you come to a place like this, you should feel like you're "coming home" and have a sense of intimacy.

……

(Hmm, so let's take a look around for any patterns... Hmm, this symbol... I think I've seen it in an ancient textbook. It's a symbol from the apocalyptic era of an empire called the Rus' Empire.)

(That country, it seems, was later reorganized. But even in the apocalypse, it was still a large country, wasn't it?)

……

Lonnies observed and analyzed carefully, and her calm demeanor greatly encouraged the young ladies accompanying her.

Although no one was timid, it was their first time in such a place, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. However, after following Lonnie along the way, they gradually got used to the place.

……

(As expected, the Hero is indeed the Hero. His composure is something that ordinary people cannot match.)

(Yes, I was a little worried before. If the Hero wasn't as powerful as I imagined, how would I tell everyone his story? But now it seems like there won't be any problems at all~~)

……

The girls looked at Lonnie with envy and longing, and Lonnie felt even more courageous.

No matter what, she is now the possessor of the power of the Rainbow Abyss. Even if there is a trap blocking her way, she can probably use the Flame Abyss Hammer to smash it open, right?

When the time comes, my mighty strike will surely let everyone witness my courage and coolness!

The image he left behind for posterity is that of a true hero!
