Endless Silver Machine

The number between the two coordinates continued to decrease. When they came to the edge of the forest surrounding Shimozuki Academy, the number still did not decrease to zero.

Continuing forward, we left the protective range of Shimozuki Academy's great barrier. There were dangerous monsters living in the depths of the forest.

"How could she come to a place like this..."

Although he was anxious, Aika also knew that the area ahead was not an area that could be entered at will.

"It's not far away. There shouldn't be any dangerous monsters around here. You can keep going."

Liuyin roughly estimated the distance and helped Aika make a decision.

Holding the twin spears transformed by the Fiery Eyes in their hands, Aika and Liuyin stepped out of the great barrier of Frost Moon Academy.

The surrounding air did not change much, but due to psychological effects, it instantly became tense.

Liuyin held Aika's PDA and guided the direction accurately, while Aika was alert to dangers that might appear at any time.

There was only the rustling sound of grass blades in the forest. Other than that, there was dead silence.

This makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Coming……"

Liuyin whispered something. Aika wasn't sure if it was due to his own psychological effects. There was a strange smell mixed in the humid air in the forest.

Aika hopes that this is just his own psychology, because this smell is not unfamiliar to him, and the same should be true for Liuyin.

"It's true, this is the smell of blood..."

The numbers on the PDA have been reduced to single digits.

Push aside the branches and leaves blocking the road, and your eyes will suddenly become wider.

Green grass replaced the barren land in this warm season, and in the center of the new green, Aika found her.

"Ling!"

Of course, Ling, who fell sideways in the middle of the grass, could not respond to his call.

Opposite to the direction in which she fell, the dark red mucus that adhered to the grass blades in an arc had gradually dried up.

Except for Ling, who was unconscious due to excessive blood loss, and the murderer who was no longer at the scene, no one knew what happened here before the location text message was sent.

…………

"Weir, how long do you have to wait here..."

"I don't know. Let's wait until we get in touch."

The two people who escaped from prison would not attract attention in a neutral area, and this is a neutral area where different cultures meet, so they did not deliberately disguise themselves.

Will brought the underage Misty into a tavern near the airport. The owner of the tavern frowned slightly.

But he didn't have the time to make irresponsible remarks to his guests.

"Even if you go to all this trouble, I don't know if it will be effective in the end."

"This is eldest sister's battle plan..."

"That is actually just a way of coaxing you to play. She just did it with the mentality of giving it a try."

"I have written down everything you said now..."

"...Is there anything you want to eat? No matter what it is, I will buy it for you!"

"There's no point in bribing me..."

"This is not a bribe, this is called...a deal, yes, a deal!"

"A deal? There's no problem with a deal. Do you really want to buy me anything?"

"That's right...Misty, wait a minute, we are in contact."

Weir glanced at the communication crystal. The PDA's signal would be relayed through the signal tower, but the communication crystal belonging to the magic machine did not need to do this.

"How about it……"

"Well... we can go back."

"Did she defeat Heinz alone..."

"It probably involves luck, but her hallucinations and magical equipment are very compatible. I don't want to be her enemy."

"Weir, you lose to girls in terms of momentum..."

"She is a 'six-winged elf', so she cannot be regarded as an ordinary girl..."

"Am I an ordinary girl..."

Misty also asked Veer with her half-closed eyes.

"Forget it... let's just say..."

"oh……"

"Don't you want to leave yet?"

"You promised to buy me something..."

"That's not to buy you a drink!"

"Isn't it..."

"Misty...are you..."

"No……"

"You are indeed drunk!"

This was the first time that Will brought Misty into the tavern. He was already accustomed to the smell of alcohol in the store, but Misty would get drunk just by smelling the air here.

"I won't leave...I won't leave if you don't buy it..."

"Well, except for the things here, I will buy you two copies of everything else. How about it?"

"..."

There was no response, Misty rested her head on Will's belly and fell asleep.

Will smiled bitterly, left the tavern with Misty in his arms, and walked into a nearby dessert shop.

The clerk looked in surprise at the man in white who walked into the store with the sleeping girl in his arms. Facing the many hostile looks, Will smiled sheepishly.

I tried hard to explain to the clerk that I just wanted to wait here until she woke up, and finally made them believe this fact.

After ordering a glass of water for himself, Veer took Misty to a seat in the corner.

Now that he suddenly had nothing to do, he also began to think about the issues Misty had mentioned.

Creating opportunities during the "Moonflower Festival" to put the heirs of the Chise family in danger; seriously injuring the heirs of the Heinz family in the depths of the forest outside Shigezuki Academy that cannot be monitored... These actions are all done with the help of students. She helped make it possible.

But she is not a companion of the Nemesis Society. It is just by chance that her purpose is the same as that of the Nemesis Society, so now she and Misty act as supervisors here.

After all, I didn't know the meaning of such an action, and the eldest sister just made a plan according to the instructions above. As for the highest level of the Nemesis Society, only the eldest sister has any contact.

There are two heirs to the "Chise" family, and there are also two magic costumes. The ability of "Chise"'s eldest son's magic outfit - mechanical alchemy has been confirmed. However, the ability of the magical costume of the eldest daughter of "Chise" is still unknown.

The "Heinz" family's magic weapon, the Light Flame Sword, only revealed the tip of the iceberg in its true capabilities during the "Moonflower Festival" at Shimozuki Academy.

Now, all the "conditions" mentioned by the eldest sister have been met.

…………

On the screen, the stolen surveillance video was playing——

When the unaware Lolo was pushed away by Aika, a bright red beam of light shot down from the darkness above his head and penetrated Aika's abdomen.

The beam disappeared, but bright red spread on the ground.

"elder brother?"

She had not yet understood the meaning of that color.

The viscous liquid quickly flowed to her feet, but Luoluo didn't know it.

She finally accepted the fact when she crawled through the thick pool of blood and rested her head on her body that could no longer respond to her own.

At first it was just sobbing, but the light of the healing magic soon dimmed, and the sobs turned into heart-wrenching cries.

"cough!"

The blood coughed up by Aika, whose head was resting on Luo Luo's knees, spattered on Luo Luo's uniform.

"elder brother……"

"Quick... get out..."

Although Aika was bleeding heavily, it seemed that no fatal parts were injured.

These three words are the only message Aika wants to convey to Luo Luo now.

"I don't want it! I will definitely save my brother!"

Aika's voice was Lolo's hope. She cheered up and began to treat Aika with a cry.

"That thing has locked onto you...run now..."

There was no time to explain to her, and Aika hoped she would understand what she meant.

Originally, the target of the attack was shifted to himself, but Luo Luo just moved to his side again, and the target of the attack was reset. Now that the attack is paused, the magic power is just refilling.

"That thing..."

Luoluo finally raised his head and looked at the culprit who caused this scene. The outline of the huge machine extended into the surrounding darkness.

"You alone can't do it..."

Although she didn't want to say such words from her own mouth, what Aika wanted to do now was to make Luo Luo understand the current situation, rather than to make her happy.

"Just use my brother's magic equipment, right? Mechanical alchemy... If it's mechanical alchemy..."

Aika had lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.

Simple healing magic seems meaningless in front of such a large area of ​​​​wounds, and the courses in the Pharmacy Department have only just begun.

If it were Sister Ling and Xiao Xi who were facing this situation now, they wouldn't be helpless like this.

Luoluo grasped Orchid Heart tightly, but it still did not respond to Luoluo's heart.

"Eye of Fiery Flame... I say this, can you hear me..."

The blood-stained silver wristband in Luoluo's tightly held hand remained silent.

"I promised my brother that I would never say 'I can't do anything' again..."

Luoluo gave up healing magic and connected his magic power to the emblem in the Eye of Fiery Flame.

If people who are not related by blood inject magic power into the magic equipment, they will only be harmed by the magic power rebounding.

Eyes of Fiery Flame and Orchid Heart have the same coat of arms. Although Orchid Heart did not respond to Luo Luo, it did not reject Luo Luo either.

The silver wrist wheel also gave Luo Luo the same reaction, and nothing happened.

The surrounding air became heavier, and even without knowledge of magic mechanics, Luo Luo knew that there was no time.

When Aika called out to him, he also had such a feeling.

In the darkness, unlike the initial attack, countless red dots lit up.

"So, I want to save my brother!"

Her voice was choked and firm.

"Fire Eyes, lend me the power that can save my brother!"

This is Luoluo's heartfelt request.

The aqua blue necklace and silver wrist wheel that have always remained silent bloomed with magical light at the same time at this moment, and the silver white and aqua blue lights blended together.

This was both her request and her command.

The slender gun body is decorated with aqua blue background patterns and silver-white cross-star patterns. The butt, which is slightly lower than the gun body, is engraved with the coat of arms of the "Chise" family. The cylindrical sight fixed on the gun body is integrated with the exquisite gun body.

This is the first time Luoluo has picked up a weapon. The silver-white sniper rifle does not seem heavy in her hands, as if it was tailor-made for her.

The design concept for this sniper rifle was not created by anyone.

Even Luo Luo, who had no knowledge about firearms, understood all the information about the gun when he touched the gun body.

She held the handle of the gun with her right hand and pressed the trigger with her index finger. She held up the gun body with her left hand and pointed the muzzle at the darkness where the red light flashed.

Luoluo didn't know why the Fiery Eyes and Orchid Heart would respond to his request at this time. This kind of thing seemed unimportant at this moment.

The moment she pulled the trigger, the screen turned completely white.

This is the end of the only surviving surveillance video.
