Demon King Priest
Chapter 130: An Accidental Encounter (2)

Ulysses walked leisurely to the door of the Ulysses control room with the pink rabbit in his arms, and knocked gently on the door.

"Lapis, are you there?"

"Is it the creator? The door is not closed, please come in?" Lapis's voice without the slightest emotional fluctuation came from the door. But even if there was no emotion in the voice, Lapis's voice was still very sweet, like a small silver bell shaking.

Ulysses stretched out his right hand and pushed open the door of the control room. The silver-haired and golden-eyed girl floated above the control platform as usual. The beautiful white uniform was shining brightly under the sunlight. The two blue crystals on her shoulders were several times brighter than usual.

"Creator, do you have any instructions for Lapis?"

"No," Ulysses shook his head, smiled, and said, "I just want to have a chat with you. You are always alone in this control room. You must be feeling a little bit lonely, right?"

"Lonely? No. The reason for the birth of Lapis is to control this Ulysses, this Ulysses is everything Lapis needs. So as long as Lapis can control the Ulysses and make the creator and other passengers happy, it's enough. As a magical spirit, I don't have much right to ask for other things." Lapis said seriously.

"This..." Ulysses scratched his head in confusion, although what Lapis said seemed reasonable, and she herself believed it, but he always felt something was wrong. But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't replace the right words to refute Lapis. After all, everyone had the freedom to choose their own lifestyle. However, he still decided to change Lapis' current situation. As a beautiful and lovely girl, it was too cruel to stay in this small space all day long. Although she didn't seem to care about it, he still couldn't stand it.

"Lapis, can you accompany me for a walk on the deck?" Ulysses tried to ask.

"Is this your order? Creator?" Lapis looked at Ulysses calmly.

"It's not an order. But I do want to walk with you on the deck, but if you can't leave the control room, then forget it." Ulysses said embarrassedly. It was the first time that he actively invited a girl for a walk.

"Is that so... Then please wait a moment, I will investigate the situation in the nearby area first." After saying that, Lapis closed her eyes, and a soft silver light gleamed from her body.

"Mhm, there is no problem in the nearby area. The automatic control of the Ulysses is temporarily activated. Creator, as your wish, let's go for a walk on the deck." After opening her eyes and saying these few words, Lapis flew down from the control platform and stood beside Ulysses.

‘She smells so nice. Do all girls have such a good smell on their bodies?' When Lapis flew to Ulysses's side, a fresh scent of the young girl's hair floated from her long silver hair into Ulysses' nostrils, making him a little dazed.

"What's wrong, Creator? Is there anything wrong with your body? Your face seems to be a little red. Your body temperature seems to have risen a bit too. Your heartbeat has also increased a bit. Are you right?" Looking at Ulysses, who was a little distracted, Lapis's golden eyes flashed, and then she asked.

"Uh, no, it's nothing! Let's go, now, we should be able to see the sunrise." Ulysses was a little embarrassed for a while, and quickly changed the subject to dispel Lapis' doubts. At this moment, the pink rabbit in his arms kicked him mischievously, as if mocking him.

"Really? If the creator said so, then let's go to the deck." Lapis looked at Ulysses with a puzzled look, and then took the lead in the direction of the deck.

"Huff!" Seeing Lapis giving up the idea of questioning, Ulysses breathed a sigh of relief, then hugged the pink rabbit in his arms and walked over to the deck behind Lapis.

As Ulysses said, the sun had just risen above sea level. Half of its body still shyly hid beneath the endless sea level. The soft orange-red sunlight shone on Lapis who was standing next to Cherie's statue, adding a lovely red to her snow-white face.

But the wind at this time seemed to be a lot stronger than when Ulysses was walking on the deck earlier. The wind with the smell of the sea blew Lapis' long silver hair, causing a few strands of hair to be blown toward Ulysses's face.

At this time, Lapis' expression was softer than ever before, and the corners of her slightly raised mouth even seemed to be smiling, and for the first time, a cheerful look appeared in her golden eyes. But in the end, she still didn't laugh out loud, but stretched out her little hand to the sky, and then closed her eyes, as if she was feeling something in the sky. Then, she started to maintain this somewhat strange posture for a while. If it weren't for her chest that was still regularly undulating, many people would treat her as a statue like the statue of Cherie on the bow of the ship.

‘Strange, what exactly is Lapis doing?' After Lapis maintained the posture of reaching out to the sky for ten minutes, Ulysses became a little curious, but he was embarrassed to disturb her, so he had to wait slowly on the side, but as time passed, his curiosity was getting bigger and bigger. He really wanted to know what exactly Lapis was doing.

At this moment, the pink rabbit in his arms seemed to feel his doubts, struggling to break free from his arms, and then forcefully jumped onto Lapis's hand that was reaching out to the blue sky.

"Huh! This is..." Lapis' golden eyes slowly opened, and she looked at the pink rabbit on her little hand, with a surprised expression on her face.

"Ah! Sorry, I accidentally made it jump into your hand." Ulysses quickly took the pink rabbit that had jumped on Lapis's hand and hugged it tightly in his arms.

"Creator, you have nothing to apologize to me. As the life you created, no matter what you do to Lapis, there is no need to apologize." Lapis said lightly.

"There is no such thing, even if you are a life created by me. You are such a beautiful and lovely girl. If I bully you, probably many people will have the urge to kill me." Ulysses said solemnly. But after speaking, he chuckled.

"Creator, you are really gentle. You even care about tools that are created by you. As far as I know, many people throw away tools when they are no longer useful..." Lapis said blankly.

"No, there is absolutely nothing like that!" Ulysses interrupted Lapis and said seriously,

"Lapis, you are definitely not a tool. From the day you appeared on this Ulysses, you are already one of us. No matter what happens in the future, I will not abandon you. I think Rasputin and Cherie will think so too."

"Really?" Lapis glanced at Ulysses with a complicated look, and said gently in a voice that even Ulysses couldn't hear clearly.

"You are really a good creator.." Because her voice was too low, Ulysses did not hear it clearly.

"What did you say?" Since Ulysses didn't hear clearly, he asked immediately.

"Nothing, creator, are you puzzled by what I did just now?" Lapis turned her head and didn't let Ulysses see her expression at this time.

"Ah! Can you see it? Is my expression so obvious?" Ulysses blushed, wondering if his curious expression was so obvious.

"Mhm! Very, very, very obvious!" Lapis drew out her voice.

"Hahaha. Sorry. Huh! Lapis, you are different than before… Mhm, how should I put it, you didn't show your feelings very much before." Seeing Lapis who was chatting with him like ordinary people now, Ulysses felt a little strange. She seemed to be completely different from how she talked when she was in the control room.

"Actually, you mean to say that I didn't have any expressions in the control room, and I looked like a cold girl with no emotions," Lapis said calmly.

"Uh, it's not that serious. It's just that when you are in the control room, you seem a little unapproachable. When I asked you to take a walk on the deck just now, I was worried that you would immediately refuse." Ulysses explained quickly.

"You don't have to say it that nicely, because when I was controlling the Ulysses, I really had almost no feelings. Mhm, it should not be said that I had no feelings, but that all my mental strengths were used to control the Ulysses' magical systems. Detecting additional sea areas, observing the energy status of Ulysses itself, preparing for the use of the weapon system anytime and anywhere, and maintaining the operation of the illusion system 24 hours a day; these things are what I must do all the time. Leaving the control room like today is actually not allowed. "Lapis explained the reason why she was so cold in the control room.
