Endless Silver Machine

"it is finally over……"

Lan Ming, who didn't know that the crisis was about to happen at this moment, breathed a sigh of relief that the incident in front of him was resolved.

She huddled on the guest sofa as if her whole body had lost all strength. She would only show this state when Charlotte was the only one around.

"Lan Ming, your speech at the meeting was really wonderful. Everyone applauded you."

Charlotte carefully packed away the dress that Lan Ming had changed into.

Lan Ming may need to rest for a while before he has the strength to get up and take a shower.

"Haha, some people just applaud reluctantly..."

"That's just a small group of people. Even they have to applaud you. This is already very, very impressive!"

"Charlotte, you look very happy today."

"Eh? Is there any?"

After being reminded by Lan Ming, Charlotte immediately stopped smiling and pretended to be serious.

Lan Ming was amused by her sudden contrasting expression, and Charlotte immediately looked away in embarrassment.

"Is it because I adopted your method?"

Knowing that saying this would make Charlotte feel even more ashamed, Lan Ming deliberately teased her with a frivolous tone.

"No..." Charlotte reflexively uttered two words, and then changed her words coyly, "...Actually, it's like this. I didn't expect that my suggestion could really help..."

"Just being by my side is already helping me."

"too exaggerated……"

Charlotte was stared at with Lan Ming's sincere eyes, so she could only turn around sheepishly, and started to tidy up the sheets in order to find something to do for herself.

"Charlotte, don't take away all the maids' jobs."

At some point, Lan Ming had left the sofa, walked around behind Charlotte, and hugged her tenderly from behind.

"Your Highness, Princess!"

In a panic, Xia Luo temporarily forgot the private agreement with Lan Ming and blurted out the honorific title for her.

"Don't call me that."

"ah!"

As if it was punishment, Lan Ming gently touched Xia Luo's shy chest.

The sudden stimulation made Charlotte's body bounce up, and then she lost strength in Charlotte's arms.

She was obviously strong enough to become his own knight at this age, but she was very bad at this kind of thing... Lan Ming couldn't help but laugh.

She did not continue to tease Charlotte's body, but just hugged her and fell onto the soft sheets together.

Because she was hugged from behind, Xia Luo didn't know what Lan Ming's expression was now, but he could vaguely understand her mood.

She requested help from Pope Sethis of the Holy See and Principal Phyllis of Frost Moon Academy. It was Charlotte's words that prompted her to take action.

He is indeed as stubborn as Junius said in some things, so Lan Ming wants to prove that he has changed.

Junius didn't know that Lan Ming had invited Aika and Ling to become her knights. At that time, she had already hoped to get help from the two families.

But his request did not get the desired result, so Lan Ming was unwilling to put the burden on irrelevant people.

After meeting Aika and Liuyin on Center Street, she made up her mind, and finally swallowed what she was planning to say to Aika.

After changing the target of the request to the Holy See and Shimozuki Academy, the burden became much lighter.

She immediately traveled to the private server the next day and went to the Holy Land to contact Pope Sethis.

For some reason, Pope Sethis, who heard his request for the first time, seemed to agree to his request without hesitation.

Since there would be no loss for the Holy See by stopping support for the exploration of ruins within national borders, Lan Ming could only think that it was for this reason that he went along with the situation.

If she didn't take the aviation magic ship to the neutral area, it would take too long to get there, so she gave up on meeting the principal of Frost Moon Academy directly.

At this time, she felt that it was a good thing that she had followed Charlotte's advice and bought a personal PDA.

Lan Ming did not directly contact Principal Felice because she did not have Principal Felice's contact information, so she had no choice but to contact her indirectly through Aika.

She didn't know if Aika on the other side of the screen was confused when he received her text message, but she could probably imagine his expression at that time, and Lan Ming laughed softly.

Although as far as the result is concerned, Principal Felice agreed to write a letter in the name of Shuoyue Academy to help Lan Ming tide over the difficulties, but she also stated that this was all and no other actions would be taken. Therefore, the letter deliberately used the vague term "depending on the situation", but as long as this statement is included, it is enough to constitute a warning.

Lan Ming only needs to get this effect.

Finally, Principal Phyllis made an almost joking request. If Lan Ming did not agree, this letter would not be sent.

——If everything on your side is resolved, then put down your identity as a princess and come to Shigezuki Academy.

Although it was a bit risky to make such a request at this time, and he didn't know what this request meant to Principal Felice, Lan Ming agreed after weighing the pros and cons.

——Okay, you heard it too, right?

Only then did Lan Ming know that Aika was also in the principal's room. Because he did not appear in the shot, Lan Ming judged based on knight etiquette and thought he would wait outside the room for the call to end.

Lan Ming suddenly felt angry and funny. Every time he predicted the actions he might take, he would guess wrong. The more mistakes he made, the more he cared about what he would do next.

This was probably the reason why I was interested in him when they first met on the airship.

The warmth in her arms brought her thoughts back to reality, and Lan Ming slightly increased the strength of her arms.

"Thank you, Charlotte, thanks to you this time..."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has also done a great job."

Charlotte gently overlapped her hand with the back of the hand holding her belly, and quietly felt the short rest.

…………

At this moment, Aika, who already knew that Lan Ming asked Principal Felice for help, was lying boredly on the bed in his room alone.

Because he heard the call between her and Principal Phyllis from beginning to end, he now had a general understanding of what was happening in August.

Aika has been eager to fly from Shimozuki Academy to Augustus since then. But Lan Ming didn't ask him for help, and he could understand the reason.

In order to respect her thoughts, Aika suppressed this feeling in her heart and did not tell her family the content of the call.

Will Lan Ming really fulfill his final agreement with Principal Felice? Aika always cares about this issue unconsciously.

At that time, the conversation between the two sounded like nothing more than a joke.

However, Aika couldn't imagine what Lan Ming looked like when he put on the uniform of Shuoyue Academy.

In his impression, any clothing worn on Lan Ming's body would be dyed with a noble color.

After the situation in August stabilizes, Principal Phyllis will probably make this request to her again, and maybe she will agree to it at that time.

I don't know if it is to divert her anxious mood, but now Aika can only fantasize about this wish that will not be realized until one day.
