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

Because Elusia usually teases him quite a bit, this kind of response is something he's never given before.

"Hmph, because I'm the master, not the hero, so you can deal with your own worries and thoughts, you silly little thing~"

"How could you do this?"

"My job is simply to ensure that the foolish hero is healthy and has enough to eat~~~"

"Waaaah..."

Although Elusia's words were quite blunt, it was indeed the case.

Along the way, Elusia has helped him a lot, and now, regarding the future, his mission, and his choices, this cunning girl doesn't have much more experience than he does.

and so……

"So, I still want to save as many people as possible I know. Otherwise, I always feel that this journey to save the world will be somewhat regrettable."

"Okay, let's work towards that goal then. Let's do our best to save everyone, and I'll be there to help."

"what?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter what decision you make. The most important thing is to do your best without any regrets after making the decision."

"Elusia..."

Feeling the girl's gaze, Lonnie's body trembled, and she suddenly understood.

Why was it himself who won, instead of Custer laughing last?

Isn't it because he has many friends and companions around him, and Elusia is by his side?

It is precisely because of this, because I have always been well protected and loved by everyone, that I have enough kindness and goodwill to help many people in this world.

This is not only the meaning that the world has given to heroes, but also the ability that Elcia and everyone else have been given to themselves.

then……

"Elcia, shall we go find Siriai? No matter what, I want to recover quickly and find out what's wrong with my body."

"Well, I can go now, but are you sure you have any problems?"

"No problem... What, what problem do I have?"

Even as she said this, seeing Elusia's "strange" face, Lonnie had a bad feeling.

"The treatment and testing process might be a bit tiring, right? So, little silly, wouldn't you like to take a stroll around the city before your treatment? Like having some lava milk tea or eating some fried bugs, that would be nice, wouldn't it?"

The city of ruins doesn't have many local specialties; the only thing that can be considered famous is fried insects.

"Who wants to eat that... Elusia, what's going on? I... where are we supposed to go for treatment?"

"Hmph, you'll see once you come along."

"Ugh...?"

And so, Lonnies, hand in hand with Elusia, gradually walked deeper into the city.

Chapter 53 Hypnotic Training

What came into view was a very dilapidated neighborhood.

There was no one on the entire road. Abandoned bottles and jars, along with rusty metal building materials, were piled up in the corner, lonely and covered with cobwebs.

Because it was close to the inner city, even the light was much dimmer, and the cold wind howled along the eaves, making a mournful sound.

If Lonnie hadn't known that Elusia was her wife, she would have almost thought that Elusia was a pimp who was going to take her to do some unspeakable services.

Therefore, Lonnie's steps were somewhat trembling.

She grabbed Elusia's sleeve and asked pitifully:

"A... Elusia, where are we going?"

"Hmph, you think you can save others with this? How shameful."

"Ugh..."

"Alright, we've arrived. This is the place."

……

Elusia stopped at a rather secluded Gothic building. Its overall shape resembled a church, but it was surrounded by high walls and what appeared to be a damaged electric fence.

There was still no one here, but compared to the previous route, at least this place looked cleaner, and there was no mess or filth on the ground.

A metal sign stood at the entrance, which read:

"Painful Experimentation Laboratory"

……

Upon seeing this, Lonely was so frightened that she immediately stood her tail up!

……

"A painful experimentation lab?! Elcia, what on earth is going on?!"

"I don't know either, Sili Ai just brought us here."

"How can they be so irresponsible? If they operate on me, I'll be completely finished."

Lornes suddenly remembered the interrogation device X800 that she had seen in the Throne Room.

It resembles an operating chair used for childbirth, but it is equipped with all sorts of torture instruments. Both the wristbands and ankle bracelets are electrified with intense current, and the thick spiked club can kill a person!

Compared to these things, her own props were utterly insignificant. Lonnie didn't want to sit in that chair at all, not even for a second!

"Elusia!"

"Silly little fox, don't be afraid. It's like getting a shot. It'll be fine in a bit. After all, you always need a shot when you're sick."

"Waaaaah, help!"

Just as Lornish was acting like a child, refusing to go inside no matter what...

Sili Ai suddenly appeared.

She slowly walked out of the church, her demeanor calm and composed. However, the hem of her skirt still looked as if it had been stained with some kind of red "dye".

……

"Oh, Elusia, you brought the test subjects. Hmm, not bad, thanks for your hard work~~~"

"Who's the test subject, Sili'ai? What are you going to do to us?! Let me make this clear beforehand, if it's too scary, I won't cooperate!"

……

Since she already considered Siri Ai as a companion, Lonese didn't hold back and started to "bluff" angrily.

but……

……

"We're not doing anything, just conducting some brainwashing experiments."

"Brainwashing experiment?"

"Hmm, Your Highness, you've read some beautiful little works, haven't you? In them, the female hero who is the protagonist thinks she is pure and confident, but she doesn't know that every time she falls asleep, her body is modified by machines, right?"

"!"

“Every transformation is thorough, isn’t it? She will gradually succumb and submit. But because her memories will be erased after hypnosis and training, even if she becomes a fluffy ball, she will still think she is a pure young girl?”

"Elusia, help!!"

Lonnies didn't care about saving face anymore and immediately hugged the black-haired girl's leg.

However, Elusia, who usually dotes on the little fox, had a stern face at this moment and said, "Silly Lonnies, don't worry. Sili'ai is just scaring you. The truth isn't that scary."

"No, isn't this brainwashing?"

"It's brainwashing, but I'll be the one doing it. Now that I, the princess, will personally brainwash you, you shouldn't be afraid, right?"

"Help! Help! Waaah! Please help me!"

Crying and screaming were useless; the poor little fox, Lonnies, was carried into the laboratory by Elcia.

The Pain Research Laboratory, as one of the research institutes dedicated to studying human potential, was highly valued by Castor in ancient times. Although it has been abandoned by Castor, its research reports and experimental facilities have been preserved.

The device used to "brainwash" Lonnies was one of them.

……

"Elusia, what is this?"

"A brainwashing device, huh?"

"I know it's a brainwashing device, but why... Waaah?"

……

Lonnie blinked in confusion, because the device in front of her didn't look like a brainwashing device at all, but rather just like a children's rocking horse next to a supermarket!

If you toss in a coin, the phrase "Dad's dad is grandma" will appear.

……

"Hmph, the torture instruments prepared for the little fool have naturally been modified. Otherwise, it would be too unsightly to leave you covered in blood and flesh."

“Wu Mu>

Anyway, hurry up and get on.

"Um……"

Although Lonnie was a little uneasy, what happened the moment she sat down?

She had a very strange feeling.

It wasn't painful, but rather felt like I'd been given anesthesia before surgery; my arms and torso felt tingly and numb.

The rocking toy car started moving, and with that wave-like swaying sensation, Lonnie's consciousness began to waver.
