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

My job is simply to be a maid, and I don't need to do anything complicated.

With a very reliable black-haired girl by his side, and a deadly weapon like the Crimson Warhammer... he might be able to play dumb and outsmart the enemy, writing his own legend here.

That's what Lorne thought, but she didn't expect that as soon as the ship landed, there would be urgent knocking at the door.

"Visitor, please state the purpose of your visit."

The voice belonged to a middle-aged man with a deep and imposing presence, who was wearing a unique medieval chainmail armor.

"Elusia, I'm here to take the entrance exam for Clear Academy."

Elusia's reply was straightforward, and she opened the hatch for the man.

"Is it for an exam?"

"That's right, you're welcome to come in and inspect as you please. There are no prohibited items here."

"..."

The man walked in with a serious expression, his armor jingling with each steady step.

His gaze first swept over Elusia, then fell on Lonnies... Although both girls were incomparably beautiful, the man's expression did not reveal much surprise.

"And this is...?"

"This is my personal maid, Lonnies. She is my companion during our studies."

Elusia tilted her head back, gesturing for Lonnie to come forward for the examination.

But the man frowned and said:

"A study companion? Where did you hear that from?"

"Doesn't Chengche Academy have spots for companion students to take care of noble ladies?"

"That system was abolished ten years ago."

"!"

"Of course, as a maid, you can obtain a 7-day visa on Academy Island as a tourist. But once the time is up, you will need to leave the island."

The man scanned Lornish's body from head to toe. His gaze didn't linger on the girl's skin, but instead he murmured to himself about her clothes, "This dress...it's a bit strange."

"Yes, this is a magical costume that can automatically change shape, just like the one I'm wearing."

"I didn't find any large-scale destructive patterns on it, but if you want to take the exam on the island, you still need to register this outfit with the academic affairs office."

"Of course, we will naturally follow the rules."

"Ah."

After that, the man conducted a search of the ship's interior, including Elusia's storage ring, as well as the toilets and the cockpit.

After confirming that there were no contraband items, the man nodded, took a document from his pocket, and handed it to Elusia.

"This is your temporary pass, with a map of Academy Island attached. The areas marked in green are the areas you are allowed to enter. If you want to attend the academy, you need to register before the exams next week."

"I understand. The registration method will remain the same as before."

"The same as before...?"

"Yes, as long as you can show the token of Corlotia, anyone can register with just 1 silver coin."

Elusia's eyes were sharp as she asked very seriously.

Chapter 5 Chunche Academy

(What should we do now?)

After the man left, Lonnie looked at Elusia with a hint of panic. She found the black-haired girl also looking at her, her crimson-orange eyes blinking as if she were deep in thought.

"Elusia, should I... leave here within seven days?"

"Hmph, trying to escape? Not so easy."

Suddenly, Elusia reached out and gripped Lonnie's wrist tightly.

"what?!"

"Don't even think about it. You're my maid, don't even think about escaping me! Even if you can't enroll... there are other ways to keep you at school."

"Then... then what should we do?"

"Isn't this simple? Tourist visas are only valid for 7 days, but work visas have no time limit. This isn't just a school; there are also many shops, restaurants, and villages. Just find me a job somewhere."

"what?!"

"You must know how to serve dishes and water, right? You're not bad-looking, so if you act cute and charming with the boss, they shouldn't give you a hard time."

"W-When are we going to look for it?"

Lonnies shuddered... It would be one thing to act cute and coquettish with Elusia, but to do it to a stranger made her feel ashamed.

"Now, the sooner you find a job, the higher your chances of getting a work visa. If you haven't found a job within seven days, I'll lock you in a box and never let you out again."

Elusia stepped forward and gently lifted Lonnie's chin with her finger: "I'll gag you and tie your hands behind your back, so you won't make a sound. No one but me will know you still exist in this world... Then all the problems will be solved, won't they?"

"Waaah!"

Lonnie trembled with fright. She knew that Elusia was not just talking; she would definitely do it.

“If you’re scared, then go find me a job. Oh, and don’t even think about running away. If I don’t see you back by 10 p.m. tonight, then you can expect to be punished.”

"Um, Elusia, aren't you coming with me?"

"Otherwise, I still need to prepare for the investigation exam."

Elusia frowned, her gaze fixed on a certain spot on the map... It seemed the black-haired girl was going there to investigate.

"I...I understand..."

"By the way, to prevent you from being scammed, all your earnings from working will be handed over to me from now on."

"what?!"

"Do you have any complaints?"

"No...no..."

Things just turned out this way in a muddled way.

Although Lonnies usually longed to escape from Elusia's side and explore this vast world alone.

However, when Lonnie actually came into this world alone, she felt a strange sense of bewilderment.

For example,

It's like playing a game where the tutorial is a bit unfair, but it guides you through everything without any major mishaps.

But now, the tutorial is gone.

Many pressing difficulties lay before Lonnie.

……

First, it's about how to communicate with other people as a girl...

It's definitely not okay for Lonnie to put her arm around a stranger's shoulder and greet them with a laugh, like a hero would. She doesn't want to be seen as a fool.

Do I really have to plead with others in a soft, girlish tone?

Lonnie knew she was very beautiful, and that her charm wasn't the cold, aloof kind that kept people at arm's length... but rather the kind of adorable, universally loved charm that adored teen idols.

Even so, wearing such a gorgeous little dress to look for a job was just too embarrassing. Lonnie suddenly felt like she was dressed as a woman at a comic convention.

not to mention……

How do I get to the city center?

……

……

Elusia landed on a flat grassland, surrounded by dense forests, with not a single decent building in sight.

Looking into the distance, one can see the magic castle shrouded in mist, but judging from the distance, it would take Lonnie several hours to get there.

All he had was the map that Elusia had given him.

Although it seemed to contain a lot of detailed information, Lonnie couldn't understand it at all... The place names were all strange symbols, not like words.

"Wait a minute, calm down... The right thing to do now is to determine your location."

Lonnie held up the map and compared it to the surrounding terrain.

However, she soon discovered that this was not an ordinary map; in addition to marking the location of the venue, there was also a small dot of light on it.

This small dot of light seemed to represent its location, as it was in a dense forest.

Not far from the woods, there is a symbol for a door.

Does this mean a commercial street?

Lonnie tilted her head back and walked toward the door.

The dot on the map moved accordingly, and soon the girl arrived next to a quaint little pavilion.

It resembled a pavilion in a Western garden, with an oval roof and white stone pillars entwined with vines. There was no one around; only the sound of the breeze rustling through the treetops filled the empty space.

"This pavilion..."

Lonnies entered the pavilion and saw a magic circle in the center of the floor... The magic circle looked very complicated. As soon as the girl stepped on it, the entire magic circle glowed from bottom to top.

"Wow, what's this?"

Lonnie was startled. She was about to run out of the pavilion when, in a daze, she remembered something.

Teleportation array!

She had seen something similar when she was a hero... except that back then, all the teleportation arrays were located in ancient underground and needed to be charged before they could be used.

Furthermore, some of the teleportation arrays are actually traps. If you don't observe them carefully, you'll be teleported to a room full of tentacle monsters, which is absolutely disgusting!
