The Moment Elysia Confess Her Love, War Wages On the Ship

Whether Elysia could compete with Durandal was indeed a question worth pondering.

Luo Ming originally wanted to speak, but Rita held Elysia’s hand and suddenly said, “I don’t know why, but when I first saw Miss Elysia, I felt like we were kindred spirits. Since it’s your first time visiting Hyperion and you’re not familiar with everything here, let Rita, as your maid, give you a proper tour.”

Rita said with the utmost respect.

She even performed a maid’s courtesy.

Staring at Elysia’s radiant smiling face, Rita’s tone had a reasonable enthusiasm. She positioned herself properly and set the broom aside.

“Just let me serve Miss Elysia wholeheartedly, just like I serve the captain.”

“I will pay attention to the maid’s etiquette.”

She had a high rank.

This was an inadvertent display of her veteran status on Hyperion, showcasing her familiarity with the captain. That intriguing tone, combined with gently lifting her skirt to reveal her slender thigh, and that ambiguous tone, made it seem as though she, as a maid, had already served in the bedroom.

Was she testing the waters?

There was a subtle provocation in her tone, and in this situation, what would a maid like to see the most?

Elysia pondered this, and it wasn’t a difficult question to guess.

Perhaps she hoped to see Elysia get jealous, ideally showing a bit of pettiness in front of the captain. In Luo Ming’s eyes, Elysia would no longer be the perfect beauty.

In response to that, what should Elysia do?

“It is indeed strange, but I think that all complex events have simple causes. I attribute it to the mutual attraction of beautiful girls. Besides, I don’t dislike Miss Rita either,” Elysia said as she released Rita’s hand, showing a keen interest in her invitation.

“Sure, let’s start with what I’m best at. Even though the cleaning work on Hyperion is done by automated robots, I prefer it for the sake of interest…”

Elysia nodded with interest, and her cute elf ears twitched twice.

Very harmonious.

But it was a kind of harmony that made Luo Ming feel uneasy.

A yuri kind of harmony.

His anti-yuri radar had been on standby all along, and it was difficult to detect any sparks between Elysia and Rita due to their different genders. In that battlefield of fierce competition, not even the tiniest spark had been visible.

That’s why they were considered to be of high rank.

Luo Ming was getting impatient.

As he watched the two of them walking away, about to disappear around the corner of the corridor, he couldn’t help but feel that if he didn’t do something, Elysia would be swept away by another girl.

And that girl was Rita.

The allure of a maid who always placed herself in a vulnerable position was unmatched.

Having experienced Delta and Bronya, Luo Ming believed that Elysia could definitely resist Hyperion’s yuri magic.

He should suppress that incomprehensible desire for control, allowing his girlfriend to roam freely in the ocean of Hyperion, starting with himself, unafraid of authority and the powerful yuri magic.

But Rita…

She was just too yuri.

However, despite his efforts, Luo Ming couldn’t bring himself to speak up.

Last night’s captain’s love diary wasn’t written in vain. He employed strategic decision-making and analyzed his own anxieties, which stemmed from a sudden sense of appreciation and fundamentally, a fear of uncertainty.

It was unavoidable, but it was also difficult to rectify.

In short, it would make Elysia think that he was an overly controlling and paranoid person, which would definitely be a major minus in their relationship.

He couldn’t do that.

But Elysia had already taken Rita’s hand, and a few more steps would take them out of sight at the end of the corridor.

His brain raced.

Rita was going to show Elysia her housekeeping work. Luo Ming had heard about this. Rita had separated a narrow, windowless small room, where various cleaning tools for maids were piled up.

Apart from brooms and dustpans, there were the maid’s secret weapons.

Lace borders, high heels, black stockings.

Rita, why would you bring a beautiful girl to a place like that as soon as you meet her? What’s on your mind, showing Elysia your black stockings and little skirts?

Luo Ming was furious.

However, Elysia, who was about to disappear into the corridor with Rita, stopped her steps at the very last moment.

She looked quite pitiable.

She thought to herself.

Rita, this woman, was indeed tricky, but when it came to simplicity, it was also straightforward—just don’t go along with it.

One of the greatest principles in the art of war, as summarized by a great figure, was “You fight your battles, I fight mine.” This was the only way to fully control the initiative in a battle, and it could be applied in Hyperion as well.

In response to the captain’s concerns, she chose to extend a helping hand at the right moment. Furthermore, this assistance couldn’t be too early or too late. It was just right now, and Elysia seemed to shine like a beacon in Luo Ming’s heart, leaving an indelible impression once again.

Elysia was also analyzing the situation. The captain had a wrong impression of Hyperion—yuri was a facade, but the psychological shadow was real. Moreover, Luo Ming was probably in a nervous state right now.

Could this be considered cunning?

It was just a minor strategy used by beautiful girls in competition, nothing too serious.

Faced with formidable opponents like Rita, if Elysia didn’t use these tactics, she would have lost in the first round for sure.

Let’s forgive her and allow the beautiful girl in the defensive position to employ some strategies.

Elysia cast a sweet smile toward Rita.

“You’ve made a mistake~”

Rita read the taunt on Elysia’s face and responded with an equally poised smile.

The battle had just begun.

“Hmm… Why are you still standing there, surprised by the invitation from a beautiful girl and not knowing how to respond?” Elysia playfully asked. “Come on, even though it’s a bit embarrassing, I’m completely clueless about housekeeping. I need the captain to provide some guidance. After all, we’re going to live together for a very long time.”

Elysia walked over and took Luo Ming’s arm.

Her fingers traced small circles on the back of Luo Ming’s hand, and gradually, everything returned. That spring-like feeling came back in full force.

The two of them maintained that passionate posture, like a bulldozer charging forward recklessly, and they abruptly bumped into Rita.

Critical hit.

Whether for the captain or Rita, it was a satisfying critical hit.

Rita, looking at Luo Ming’s expression, couldn’t help but reach out and flick the strand of ash-gold hair that covered her eyes. A hint of helplessness flashed in her rose-like pupils.

Oh, poor captain, being played by the bad girl…

But why wasn’t that bad girl me?

She didn’t think her rank was necessarily lower than Elysia’s. It was just that Elysia had a significant advantage in initiating the confrontation, which made her appear so confident in the competition.
