Endless Silver Machine

Race against time. After the three-party meeting ended, Aika dived into the research room of the Gods and began to analyze the mimicry magic equipment that Feili left for him. Unique, who knows a little bit about magic technology, and Inili, who proposed the concept of magic technology, also followed Aika to visit this small research room.

"You alone may not be enough to understand the mixing technique. If you have Cocona's "half and half" ability, you may be able to see something. I will also be there to guide you."

"If Inili wants to go, I will go too!"

"You can't do anything even if you're by my side."

"Is Inili just looking for an opportunity to abandon me... I don't want to go back alone! Inili also wants to go back with me!"

In this way, two legendary figures also entered the research room a hundred years later. These two otherworldly beauties also completely attracted the attention of the researchers from the Protoss along the way.

In fact, although the original purpose of the two was to help Aika analyze the mimicry magic equipment, Inili spent more time being led into the rhythm by Yuniko who was idle and bored talking.

"So my body is now frozen in the passage of time, so whether it's on the surface or inside... Ah, you, the magic there is wrong. Don't use the molecular power furnace to understand it. Adjust position one to three Give it a try and see if it can stimulate matter waves."

"Then Is Inili's body kept underground in the imperial capital or something? How can I remove the magic?"

"The magic concubine who freezes time is not very clear. It is the magic weapon ability of a certain big shot in Shimozuki Academy. Since in this era it is possible to convert the concubine's thoughts into electronic spells, it should not be possible to develop similar dispelling magic. A very difficult job... Hey, what are you doing! If you don't correct the measurement interference first to cause quantum interference, even the medium that allows me to appear will be involved!"

"Sorry! Isn't this wrong? You just said that you would switch from position one to position three..."

"That's not the third position I'm talking about! I see, the theory of magic mechanics has also changed with the concept of magic technology..."

Inili left Unique aside and dragged her long skirt to Aika's side.

"The jam here is not like this. Assuming that this thing really has the same core as the molecular power furnace theory, the magic power will spread rapidly inside through this gap, and even disrupt the magic power that makes up the magic circle, causing a reversal effect. "

Inili's hands cannot directly touch real objects, so Aika combined her words and the direction of her fingers to understand, and modified the debugging method bit by bit.

What came out of Inili's mouth was the original magic mechanical theory, which was integrated with the pure magic concept before today's electronic magic. It gave up convenience while paying more attention to practicality.

This is knowledge that cannot be learned from today's magic mechanics. Some parts even completely subvert the concepts in the textbooks, making Aika feel like he has entered a new world.

"Then here... this structural component seems to be the core area of ​​​​light fiber. It is indeed something that cannot be explained by simple magic technology. Unique, don't sit there doing nothing anymore, come and take a look."

"What's wrong? Has the time finally come when you need me?"

Unique, who likes to sit on high places and sway her legs, jumped down from the workbench that was not in use for the time being, ran to Aika, squeezed under his elbows and into his arms.

"Unique, what are you doing!" Inili suddenly raised her voice, "I want you to come and see this mimicry magic costume, not to sit on Aika's body!"

"Huh? But you can see it more clearly this way, right?"

Unique ignored the blushing Inili who was waving her hands, and her petite body nimbly climbed up Aika's legs and sat down in front of him.

The fluttering feather turban and the fragrant hair passed by the tip of Aika's nose, and Aika quickly focused all her energy on the work at hand.

Sitting between Aika's legs, Unique's little head only slightly touches Aika's chin, not blocking his sight. Her slender body wrapped in crimson feathers also feels as good as it looks. , incredibly light.

If the bystanders were not told that she was the legendary "god girl" who had gone through the bloody cross-border war, there would be no problem in treating her as a human girl next door who is fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Inili, do you want to sit on it too?"

Unique completely ignored Aika's thoughts and deliberately moved to the side, patting the little vacant space with her hand.

"How is it possible for me to look like this... No, now is the time to do business!"

"But this child is the descendant of that man at that time, right? I feel like the two of them look very similar! Didn't you have any thoughts about projecting that man's figure onto him?"

"S-What are you talking about? Anyway, Yunicoru, hurry up and get away from Aika. Did you really not notice that he is troubled?"

"Is Aika troubled?"

"I don't mind that much..."

"You see!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Even though Inili is just standing here in an illusory form now, it seems that she can feel that the surrounding temperature has begun to rise sharply due to her presence.

Now, Enili is like a young girl in love, her face is flushed and she is waving her twelve light long sleeves. The sleeves fluttering in the air penetrated the workbench. If Inili had an entity, she would have swept down all the tools on the workbench by now, and she was too busy arguing with Unique to notice it at all.

Caught between the two of them, Aika could only try to use the muscles on her face to force out a smile. But something that Unique just mentioned caught Aika's attention again. He had wanted to ask Inili this question for a long time.

"By the way, Inili, you always compared me to someone before. Is that person the ancestor of our family?"

Yinili's movements stopped momentarily, then she crossed her hands in front of her chest and her eyes drifted into the distance.

"Forget it... I guess... I have some friendship with your great-great-great-grandfather. In this case, I have to take a closer look at what the descendants who inherit his bloodline are capable of."

"I see, I'm really sorry to disappoint you, hahaha..."

In this way, Aika could finally explain who Inili would occasionally let slip when she was angry with herself.

"By the way, Inili always compares me to my great-great-great-grandfather when he is angry. Does it mean that he often made you angry in the past? Or is he just a terrible person?"

"Just, let's just say! He is a very bad person! He is a playboy, and he wants to hook up with any girl!"

"You are a man who looks like a scumbag, but you still took the bait, Yinili."

"What are you talking about? That was all a hundred years ago. Is your memory confused?"

Inili and Unique looked at each other with sneers without admitting defeat, but Aika, who was watching, roughly guessed what was going on.

"Could it be that Inili..."

This is the past buried a hundred years ago, so Aika naturally doesn't know what the truth is. But to say that Lan Ming's great-great-great-grandmother once liked his great-great-great-grandfather would feel like telling a fairy tale.

"If Inili had been more proactive at that time, you might be the prince of the human country now, Aika."

"Unique!"

Inili's comfortable posture finally completely collapsed. She seemed to have forgotten that she was now unable to touch any object in reality, and stretched out her hand as if she was about to wrestle with Unique.

And Aika also forgot something important because of Inili's sudden rampage.

You know, Aika's PDA is also controlled by my own magic power. If he treats Unique as a touchable object in his consciousness, Inili will be given a physical form at this time.

——Dingling Ling Ling Ling Papa Cracking Cracks!

Along with the various tools on the tool table, Inili stretched out her hands and pushed Unique, who was sitting on his legs, to Aika, and the three of them twisted into a ball on the ground.

The only ones who could come into contact with each other were Aika and Inili. Unique, who was originally the target of Inili, was only involved in it and fell to the ground together.

Who would have thought that the two legendary beautiful girls who ended the cross-border war are now wrestling in a mess on the ground in disheveled clothes, and the real reason is because of the topic of love a hundred years ago. If humans or gods were to see this scene with their own eyes, the faith they had accumulated in the past might collapse in an instant.

"Brother, there are also the young ladies and the saintly ladies. It's lunch time."

As luck would have it, Ruby burst into the scene holding a small basket that probably contained lunch.

Witnessing this scene, Ruby seemed to have a "clang" sound effect all over her body, and she was petrified on the spot.

Probably because Aika once encouraged Ruby to be a strong child, her world view barely collapsed due to this chaotic scene.

She put down the small basket in her hand, tried her best to walk backwards with a sweet smile mixed with thousands of emotions, and prepared to leave the room quietly.

"excuse me……"

It was amazing that he could say hello politely before leaving. If Teacher Letika knew that her sister had become such a strong child, she would definitely be moved to tears. Of course, it's more likely to be crying for other reasons.

The so-called "strongness" refers to the power to be able to accept all kinds of incredible realities regardless of self-deception.

And it was Aika who first thought that he could not let the only witness go, because he was strong enough to completely ignore any incredible accidents around him, and eliminate any signs of attack on him in the bud.

He used quick yet gentle movements to move Unique who was lying on top of him, and then returned Inili's body to the phantom state. Finally, he quickly stood up and took a quick step to block Ruby who was about to exit the door. .

The whole process takes no more than two seconds. This is the so-called "practice makes perfect", a magical skill that Aika has mastered after traveling through countless Shura fields.

Because the speed was too fast, Ruby hadn't reacted yet. Probably because he mistakenly thought that Aika was going to do what he did to the two distinguished adults on himself, the smile that he tried hard to squeeze out on his cute face finally collapsed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm bothering you three! But but! I don't have experience in doing such a drastic thing all of a sudden... So I'm saying... ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Ignoring Ruby, who finally became incoherent in her speech, Aika first reached out and closed the door behind Ruby without leaking any news.

So in all this, apart from the three parties involved, only the poor witnesses are left to deal with.

Hearing the only escape route behind her being blocked with a "click", Ruby's waist softened in despair, and she slid to the floor with her back against the door.

"I'm sorry, Ruby, for scaring you."

It was just a habitual movement of the body, but she didn't expect that Ruby would be so frightened. It probably left an impression in her heart that will be difficult to overwrite for the rest of her life.

"...What you saw just now was just an accident."

Although this explanation may be too pale and feeble... but if you ask whether it is useful, it is more or less useful.

Ruby, who was trying her best not to cry, blinked her big watery eyes blankly after Aika finished saying this. I don’t know if she believed Aika’s explanation, but it was gratifying to at least be able to listen to this sentence.

"Aren't you going to do something weird..."

"If I could do something strange to those two adults, millions of people from the human and divine races combined might not let me go..."

After a moment of imagination, he really did what Ruby imagined and what he would face next... Although he might have no regrets in this life, the price he paid seemed too heavy.

Aika took Ruby's little hand and pulled her to stand up from the floor. Although Ruby's little hands were still shaking a little, she did not move away when Aika held her. Instead, she closed her fingers and held Aika's hand.

"Inili, the chair is broken."

"Shut up……"

Inili, who had recovered her spirit state, could not do anything else to Unique, she just glared at her fiercely.

It is impossible for a chair made of steel to break simply because of the pushing and rubbing. It may be that Unique has done something to it. The broken chair legs are very smooth.

"That's right, it's because the chair broke just now that we fell together. Inili originally wanted to reach out to hold us, but her body couldn't touch us now, so she fell together with us. ."

With the help of the "good excuse" created by Unique, Aika finally dispelled Ruby's remaining suspicion and took her little hand to the workbench where most of the equipment had been lost. Inili and Unique also ended the cold war. They gathered around inadvertently.

"Is it time for lunch already?"

There is no time display tool anywhere in this laboratory, and the only PDA that can be used to tell the time is occupied by Inili. The three people who were having fun after work had no idea how long they had been here.

"Yes, onee-sama has already gone to the restaurant to dine with everyone."

"Then you brought us lunch. Thank you for your hard work, Ruby. Why don't you go back and join them?"

Opening the small basket Ruby placed on the corner of the workbench, there were small and exquisite sandwiches placed on the mezzanine inside. If the tiering is based on the number of people, then there are three people here.

Inili is in a phantom state. Although I'm sorry for her, she neither needs nor can she have lunch with everyone.

"I, I will stay here and will not go back."

Ruby, who was squirming, raised her head slightly and looked up at Aika.

"I see, so this is for three people."

"Because onee-sama said that my eldest brother is very busy with research, I made this sandwich that is very convenient to eat..."

"Did Ruby make this herself?"

"Yes, it is……"

"That's awesome...Thank you. The sandwich is just right."

After immersed in research for such a long time, Aika now also wants to eat some simple food to fill her stomach.

"Well, am I really not going to disturb the three of you here?"

"If you mean the kind of interruption just now, you shouldn't have anything to worry about, right?"

"It's not about disturbing things like that..." Thinking of the gaffe just now, Ruby's face suddenly turned pink, "It's because I'm worried about disturbing big brother's research..."

Of course there is nothing to worry about. Aika looked at each other and smiled at Inili and Unique behind her.

"Then let's go outside to eat. The research room is not a place where you can have a peaceful meal." Aika picked up the small basket Ruby put down. "And this is lunch made by Ruby herself, so I don't care about anything. Enjoy the image.”

"I also agree to go out and take a breather. I used to look at the machines in the underground of the Imperial City Defense Bureau every day, but I finally came to the Protoss territory and got into this narrow research room."

Inili stretched. Originally, wearing a costume like Twelve Singles was not suitable for such a big move, but after Ruby saw that rude behavior just now, she seems to have given up on maintaining the majesty of a saint, and just wants to cry like an ordinary girl. Cry, laugh if you want.

"Little queen, are there any recommended places in this palace? I have never been here before, and I don't know of any good places with beautiful scenery."

"Yes, Lord Young Girl, there are many, many recommended places!"

Being asked by the legendary childish lady in person, Ruby replied in a panic. Her immature but endearing look made the three of them laugh. However, the person involved, Ruby, still didn't know why she had changed. Like this.
