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

Senior Sister Yan smiled wryly and explained to Lonese, "Actually, Dean Cui Biya is already very old. So, in order to prevent herself from aging further, she slows down the aging process by turning into a statue when she has nothing to do."

"Is this even allowed?!"

"Well, although the school prepared a luxurious bedroom for the Dean, which can be transformed even when he's at home, the Dean always says that the Ancient Academy is currently dilapidated and needs some decoration."

"what?"

"But we couldn't afford the sculpture, so Dean Cui Biya came to the courtyard to rest herself! The academy became even more eerie at night, but the thought of the dean resting in the courtyard made us less afraid. Everyone was also extra motivated when working on projects at night."

"I see……"

Hearing what Senior Sister Yan said, Lonnies was filled with admiration for the Dean.

It seems that although the Ancient Academy has few students, everyone is very united, and the dean is a very easy person to talk to.

In this way, as long as I focus on my studies, I should be able to pass smoothly!

And so, after saying goodbye to Senior Sister Yan, Lonnies and Elusia left the academy.

It was already past 6 p.m., the sun had sunk below the western horizon, and the vast Milky Way was gradually revealing its magnificent skirt to the world.

Only the last wisp of fiery cloud still burned defiantly, casting long shadows of the two.

Without streetlights, walking along the academy streets, Lonnie had a very surreal feeling. It wasn't just because she was now a girl, but also because she was walking alongside Elusia as a "classmate."

There was no collar, no whip, no remote control, and no switch.

If a stranger saw this, they would definitely think that the two girls had a very good relationship, or at least be best friends.

At that moment, Lonnies remembered the letter she had written that afternoon.

Although it was incredibly embarrassing, Lonnies realized... that this letter was one she had written to Elusia.

She was definitely grateful for Elusia's help, because it was through her that she had the opportunity to return to this world.

As for whether this feeling is actually a romantic relationship, is it true?

If it were her past self, Lonnie would definitely call any cute girl "wife" without any regard for right or wrong, and want to hold Elusia in her arms and take her home as part of her harem.

So how does Elusia view herself now?

Even if he doesn't see himself as a husband, at least he won't dislike him, right?

……

"A... Elusia..."

"what's up?"

The black-haired girl yawned, looking somewhat bored.

"Um... Master Elusia, what would you like to eat tonight? I'll go prepare it..."

Lonnies had intended to ask Elusia about her past, but the words that came out were these.

"What should we eat... Hmm, how about braised Lonnies?"

"what?!"

"Your magic seems to be quite abundant. If you could bite off a piece of meat, it would surely fill your stomach."

In an instant, Elusia's gaze turned aggressively toward Lonnie's chest. Her eyes were like those of a big bad wolf eyeing a lamb.

However, Lonnie soon realized that Elusia was teasing her again—and Elusia seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Waaah... Miss Elusia, please don't make such jokes."

"Oh? But Lonnies made herself capable of infinite regeneration, wasn't it so that people could taste her?"

"That's not it!"

"Oh well, never mind then. Considering how hard you studied today, I'll take you over there to relax."

"Huh, relax...?"

"Yes, you'll find out soon enough."

Chapter 37 The Small Villa on the Mountain Top

Although she said she was going to relax, Elusia didn't specify where she was going.

Lonnies didn't dare to ask, but simply followed Elusia's footsteps, gradually walking forward.

Originally, the location of the ancient academy was already quite remote, with dense bushes and no streetlights at night.

However, the place Elusia was heading to was even more remote... It was a mountain path that no one would ever set foot on, with dark shadows of trees swaying and a rustling sound coming from the breeze.

If Lonnies were still a hero, she would love places like this: because deserted places often mean there are ruins and hidden treasures to be discovered.

But nowadays, perhaps girls are physically weaker.

Lonnies felt a slight sense of fear; if Elusia hadn't been by her side, she would have turned and left.

"Um, Miss Elusia, where are we going?"

"I told you, you'll see when you get there."

Elusia suddenly frowned, and her tone became somewhat dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Lonnies didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only walk silently into the depths of the night.

……

……

The mountain road ends at a flat area located on the mountaintop.

The meadow here is incredibly soft. Under the starlight, the entire lawn undulates gently with the breeze, appearing exceptionally supple.

There weren't any tall trees nearby, so the entire starry sky was clearly visible... But what surprised Lonnie the most was that there was a small villa on the mountaintop.

Like the ancient academy, this villa also looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

The two-story building was covered with ivy, and the windows looked as if they were covered by a protective film, making it impossible to see inside.

However, looking at the small villa, a faint smile appeared on Elusia's lips: "Great, it's still here."

"Still there..."

"Hmph, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, you idiot. Just follow me."

Elusia walked to the front door of the villa... and although the door looked quite old, there was no damage or rust on the surface.

Elusia deftly pulled out the keyboard under the doorknob and then typed in the input...

……

Account: Lonnies

Password: This princess will never admit defeat!

……

Immediately afterwards, the villa door opened with a "beep".

"Huh? What's this...?"

“I studied here 100 years ago, so it’s only natural that there are some secret bases here.”

"Ah, wait... Elusia, have you studied here before?"

"Ugh, what an idiot, only just realized that now."

As she approached the door, a black light emanated from Elusia, and the black-haired girl transformed back into a little girl.

Her school uniform was also shrunk in size: "But even I didn't expect it to be so well preserved, almost exactly the same as before."

"what?"

"We'll grant you entry as a special privilege. This hilltop villa is normally a VIP lounge that only the top student in the entire school can access."

……

……

As Lonnie stepped inside the villa, she felt that the decor was very warm and inviting, as if a family had once lived there.

The counter was spotless, and clothing of various sizes was displayed in the openwork wooden cabinet. Various interesting little expressions were carved on the writing board on the wall, and fluffy pillows and dolls were placed on the sofa.

"Ah, it's so comfortable here!"

Without saying a word, Elusia slumped onto the sofa... Because of her small, loli-like figure, Elusia seemed a little careless about her image at the moment, lying on the sofa with her shoes still on.

Her delicate little hands deftly pulled open the coffee table's backrest, then she pulled out a bag of potato chips and began to devour them. The way she crunched and chewed them made her look exactly like an otaku loli.

"Elusia..."

Seeing Elusia's performance, Lonnies was somewhat stunned.

Perhaps it was the silver-haired girl's strange gaze that made the little girl frown in displeasure, and say, "What's wrong, Lonnies? Is something bothering you?!"

"No...no."

"Hmph, I haven't even settled the score with you for stealing my name yet. It makes me feel like I'm insulting myself every time I curse you, how awful!"

As if to vent her anger, Elusia took a big bite of potato chips: "Anyway, now I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself."

"W-What opportunity?"

"Take off my shoes and then go upstairs to get the things out of the glass cabinet."

"what?"

“What do you mean ‘huh’? Go do it now.”

After saying that, Elusia mockingly wiggled her little feet, seemingly certain that Lonnie wouldn't dare to resist.

And what about Lorne...?

Indeed, they dared not resist.

After all, Elusia seems to be in a good mood right now, and if I make her angry, I'll be the one who suffers in the end.
