Endless Silver Machine

In the early morning, the three of them said goodbye to the caretaker's cabin they had lived with for eight months.

Anticipating that they would not be able to return to Frost Moon Academy in a short time, they no longer wore Frost Moon Academy uniforms, but changed into casual clothes from the wardrobe.

Several others have been waiting here for a long time at Shimozuki Academy's special airport for the aviation guided ship, and they are all ready to go.

Instructor Letika was dragging a big suitcase, and her light-colored long skirt still looked as mature as when she was wearing a uniform.

Reilu, who was wearing a school uniform, didn't have too many belongings.

Lan Ming and Xia Luo also put on rare summer outfits. Compared to when they first met on the airship, they no longer need to hide their identities, and their figures in crisp casual clothes look even more glamorous.

Anjie was still wearing the maid outfit she wore when she worked at Principal Phyllis's place. It seemed that she was very fond of the blue and white uniform.

"Aika-san, although you asked us to gather here, there is nothing here..."

It is too early now, and the maintenance personnel of the dedicated airport have not yet started work.

The helipad pointed by Instructor Letika was now empty, and even the earliest civilian airships had not taken off yet.

"You will know later, Teacher Letika."

Aika looked around at everyone present. What I want to say at this moment has already been said before setting off, now I just need to take that step.

He raised his right hand, and the silver wrist wheel reflected the brilliance of the morning sun.

"Hitomi, do you need some preparation time?"

Even if he asked this, Hitomi, who rarely spoke even when face to face, would of course just respond with silence.

A sight that seemed to contain no emotion seemed to appear in front of Aika's eyes, and she was looking at herself playfully through the silver wrist wheel.

Having no choice but to get an answer, Aika stretched out her hand towards the empty tarmac.

"Mechanical Alchemy——"

He knew that this was Hitomi's departure gift to him, and all the information about this gift flooded into Aika's mind.

This is "mechanical alchemy" that is incomparable to any weapon so far. Aika believes in Hitomi, and at the same time believes that she can definitely present this gift in reality.

"——'Yuktrassil'!"

Cube-shaped magic cubes quickly gathered in the empty airport in front of them, building up the prestige that Aika called out.

The streamlined shape appears in the flowing silver-white magic power. It is a huge body that can shock all viewers.

Unlike the aviation guided ships of the Bisi Empire and Frost Moon Academy, the design of multiple sets of gunports installed throughout the hull was once only used on ancient ocean ships.

However, with such a combined force, only one of them could crush a giant fourth-tier monster that could only be defeated by a squad of national magicians.

When Shimozuki Academy held its final practical test in the central square last semester, the fourth class - cave beetles broke through the loopholes in Shimozuki Academy's barrier from the ground and invaded the venue, causing a large-scale panic of extremely bad nature.

Aika used the joint weapon "Mobile Six-Link" to work with Wei Xi and Lilith to knock down the cave beetle. He can still clearly recall the feel of driving this joint weapon.

After studying the knowledge of magic mechanics in Professor Cocona's laboratory, Aika can now tell at a glance that this united weapon is an improved version of the mobile six-unit.

The magnificent silver-white armor is engraved with a gorgeous coat of arms that has been submerged by history and symbolizes the "mechanical alchemy" of the "Qianze" family.

There were gentle exclamations from the people around him, bringing Aika's mind, which was immersed in the majesty of "Yuktrasil", back to reality.

"This is my partner, Hitomi. This aviation magic ship is her gift to us." Aika showed the silver wristband exterior to everyone, "Then, this aviation magic ship will be our base of activities from now on. ”

"Hey, there is no record in the student records that Aika is also a magic equipment holder!"

"Leilu-san, don't worry about details like this..."

Teacher Letika once witnessed Aika using the ability of "mechanical alchemy" in the ruins, and already knew his hidden true identity.

"If this aviation magic ship is the product of 'mechanical alchemy', doesn't Aika-san need to maintain his abilities all the time?"

"Rather than saying that I am maintaining my abilities, to be more precise, it should be Hitomi who is working hard. There is absolutely nothing I can do."

"I see, Hitomi is very powerful..."

Instructor Letika looked at Aika's silver wrist wheel in disbelief, and the eyes of several others also focused on the Eyes of Fiery Flame.

Hitomi probably wouldn't be willing to show her presence here, and Aika suddenly felt a little regretful.

"'Yectrasil'... seems to be the name of an aviation magic ship during the cross-border war."

As he climbed the stairs entwined with ivy, Lan Ming suddenly recalled the name of the ship that he seemed to have heard before.

"Really? I don't know that."

"I see. After hearing what Her Royal Highness the Princess said, I was also somewhat impressed by the name 'Yuktrashir'."

"I remember that 'Yuktrasiel' was a very famous aviation magic ship during the cross-border war. There seems to be no more information about this aviation magic ship recorded in history, only its name was recorded. If my guess is correct, it should have been made by the 'Mechanical Alchemy' ability of 'Chise' family in the past."

…………

The internal structure of the aviation magic ship "Yuktrassil" is not much different from the aviation magic ships that everyone has boarded before. That is because the design concept of modern aviation magic ships is based on the ancient aviation magic ships. based on.

Aika has not yet dabbled in the esoteric aspects of magic mechanics, and has only a partial understanding of the design concept of an aviation magic ship. However, he knows everything about this aviation magic ship that he has boarded for the first time, perhaps because of Hitomi's contribution.

Charlotte and Anjie found the cockpit.

The cockpit is centered on the captain's seat, surrounded by control seats and communication seats. The walls are densely covered with seemingly complex control panels and various displays.

This structure is not only very similar to a modern aviation magic ship, but also permeates an elegant and traditional classical atmosphere.

But the dashboard on the console was filled with completely unfamiliar characters.

"It's really an ancient aviation guided ship..."

"Let me explain it a little bit. Although I can't understand what's written on it, I probably know what it's for."

Aika began to convey the unfamiliar words that came to her mind to the girls.

Lan Ming and Xia Luo, both "former royals" and "former nobles", had received knowledge about aviation guided ships and understood Aika's explanation faster.

So the helmsman made a "hasty" decision.

Fortunately, whether it is an ancient aviation guided ship or a modern aviation guided ship, it can be completely turned over to autonomous driving as soon as it takes off.

…………

Before setting off, everyone already knew the reason why the ocean fleet was named after the word "sea fog" from Lan Ming and Xia Luo's advance explanation.

——That kind of mist is the product of magic equipment ability. Not only can it cause discomfort in the body such as difficulty breathing, but it can also hide its whereabouts from any detection. Therefore, only by using the resonance and synchronization of "Candle Dragon Gold" can their positions be roughly determined.

This is a very risky approach. When Lan Ming performs wide-area synchronization in the sea, other people may also notice the existence of "Candle Dragon Gold".

At a time when the Bes Empire and the Nemesis Society were considered a thorn in the side, this approach was tantamount to setting oneself on fire.

But if you are lucky, you can enter the shelter of the "Sea Fog Fleet" before the enemy notices.

Now that there are risks associated with any move, everyone can only use the simplest way of thinking, which is to "take one step at a time and see one step at a time."

While waiting to arrive at the target sea area, the first thing they had to do was to place their luggage in their respective rooms.

"This kind of room layout is somewhat similar to the royal family's aviation magic ship."

Lan Ming probed and looked at the cabin which was divided into different sections by the hatch. The functional areas and living areas were divided in an orderly manner.

Anjie helped push Instructor Letika's suitcase into the room, and Instructor Letika kept nodding in thanks.

"Aika, I suddenly thought of a very subtle question."

"Um?"

Since Lingdu thought it was very subtle, it was really very subtle.

"If we need to return to the ground, it will be difficult to find a dedicated airport for the aviation magic ship to land. What will happen then?"

"Well... don't worry about this problem. There seems to be a device here that can teleport vertically back to the ground."

The moment before Ling raised the question, Aika had not realized that such a device existed.

It was an incredible feeling, and the answers Aika wanted to know immediately came to mind.

You don't need to think too much to know that this is Hitomi's conscious operation. In this case, wouldn't it be more straightforward to explain it in person?
