Endless Silver Machine

A few days after Senior Lilith was discharged from the hospital, everyone used the weekend to visit Senior Lilith at her house in the Imperial Capital.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of Mother's request..."

After Wei Xi asked Liu Yin to investigate Sister Lilith's family background, she quickly got the answer.

Lady Elise's family has produced famous engineers for generations, and Lady Elise came to prominence during the post-war reconstruction of the empire. She was elected as the chief engineer because of her family history, and she fulfilled her responsibilities and actively assisted in other reconstruction efforts.

The encounter with Lilith-senpai's father also happened during that period.

In comparison, Senior Lilith's father seemed unknown. There is no other information about him except that he was a national magician who sacrificed his life for the country.

How did the two of them meet? Along the way, the girls were discussing this topic.

Senior Lilith's description was very vague, and she only understood it from Mrs. Elise's dictation. It is difficult to leave a deep impression on things that have not been experienced personally.

There was only one thing that Lilith remembered very clearly. That is, when Mrs. Elise talks about her husband, she always has a happy smile on her face.

Although Mrs. Elise also had such a smile before Senior Lilith entered Frost Moon Academy, it was far from the happiness her husband brought her. This caused a small sense of loss in Senior Lilith's heart, but it was indeed an indisputable fact.

Lady Elise is opposed to Senior Lilith becoming a national magician, which may have something to do with her father. Aika vaguely thinks so.

"Brother, the airship has entered the port."

"We probably won't be able to catch up with that class. There are already a lot of people queuing in front of us."

Senior Lilith is now in the waiting hall of the airport with Aika and her friends, waiting for the new airship to arrive. Because the train stopped on the road and was delayed for some time, the tickets for the airship scheduled to be taken were already sold out.

Taking the train directly is also an option, but the journey takes too long and is not included in the discussion. There are only two days on the weekend, and it only takes more than an hour to reach the Imperial Capital Airport by airship. Compared to the nearly ten hours of riding on the magic train when I came here, the speed was not at the same level.

Half an hour after the airship in front of me takes off, the next airship will enter the port. After Aika purchased tickets for five people at the service desk, she returned to the bench where everyone was waiting.

"Are we just going to sit here and wait? It seems like there will still be some time before this flight takes off."

The airship will take about twenty minutes to prepare from entering the port to taking off. In fact, everyone now has nearly an hour of free time.

"Remember that Qiu Ke's home is very close to here, right?"

"The president's house... does it mean the restaurant run by their family?"

"Well, has Senior Lilith been there too?"

"That's right."

She smiled slightly and agreed.

…………

Qiu Ke is still staying in Shuoyue Academy instead of at home. The ones who receive them are Qiu Ke's father and mother. It was normal for them not to remember the four Aikas, because it was Qiu Ke himself who was in charge of reception that time, and everyone only visited that time.

Surprisingly, both Qiu Ke’s parents knew Senior Lilith. Because of her as an intermediary and the atmosphere in the family restaurant, everyone felt as comfortable as returning home. Qiu Ke's father's generous character may be one of the reasons. After knowing that everyone was Qiu Ke's friend, he gave everyone an iced drink as a gift.

"Senior Lilith, do you have any special relationship with Qiu Ke's father and Qiu Ke's mother?"

Luoluo felt very incredible. Senior Lilith's attitude when talking to the boss and the boss's wife was not like ordinary regulars.

"There is no special relationship," Senior Sister Lilith replied to Luoluo with a smile of "Why do you ask?", "I just came here to visit at the invitation of the president. The first time I came here, I remember it was half a year ago. Before, during the student union election.”

"Student union election? Could it be that Senior Lilith was also a member of the student union when she was in the first grade?"

Aika had thought of this possibility when everyone from the student union came to visit Senior Sister Lilith in the affiliated hospital.

"I am the student union secretary of the previous term." Senior Sister Lilith told the shocking fact calmly, "Hey, didn't I say that before?"

"No, no, absolutely not."

"That's it..." Senior Sister Lilith suddenly realized, "Now it happens that we have to wait for a long time, so let me talk about what happened when the student union changes."

A piece of history that no one would know was slowly told by Senior Sister Lilith.

"The last student union was also like now, consisting of four people in total, the president, vice president, secretary and accountant. Except for me, the other three were all sophomores. Like Qiu Ke, a first-year student He was elected president when he was young, which is said to be the first case since the founding of Shigetsuki Academy."

In order to be different from the members of the previous student union, Senior Sister Lilith did not call Qiu Ke the president here as usual.

"Is there another story behind this?"

"Of course there is, but if we talk about that story, we don't have enough time. Besides you, most of the students at Frost Moon Academy know that story, so it's no longer a secret."

If you have the opportunity, you can ask the classmates around you. Senior Sister Lilith expressed this to Lolo who asked the question.

"Qiu Ke himself has no intention of participating in the election. However, in addition to participating in the campaign speech, there is another way to participate in the student union election, and that is to be directly nominated by the president of the student union or the leader of the discipline team. At that time, Qiu was nominated But my classmate is my senior who is now in her third year and was also the student council president of the previous term."

"After being directly nominated, the next selection criterion is the number of student votes. However, if the nominee does not have the will, the quota will be invalid. Generally speaking, after being nominated, no one will choose to refuse. However, it goes against common sense. People still exist.”

Everyone has already thought of what Senior Lilith said next.

"Qiu Ke rejected this nomination. If there is a reason, I won't mention it here. On the day of the election, Qiu Ke asked for sick leave and did not come to Shimotsuki Academy."

No one interrupted Lilith's memories. After learning about the past of the seemingly silly monitor, they didn't even know what to say.

Judging from Qiu Ke's innocent and lively appearance on weekdays, I would never have imagined that she would have such an experience. This kind of complicated matter cannot be related to Qiu Ke at all.

"This is the reason why I visited here for the first time. Qiu Ke had already obtained two-thirds of the votes in Shimozuki Academy before the speech. Even the students who were originally planning to run for the president also chose to abstain. Here is something to mention Yes, the other party did not abstain due to the situation, but explained the reasons to the campaign committee when Qiu Ke was nominated, and she believed that Qiu Ke was more suitable for this position."

"As long as Qiu Ke expresses her willingness, she will be confirmed as the next student council president without any suspense. On the contrary, if she is unwilling, the position of student council president will be vacant. We are visiting here just to know who she is. My real thoughts. At that time, Qiu Ke still locked herself in the room and kept using her physical discomfort as an excuse to refuse to come out. I won’t go into details. In the end, it can be said that we dragged her out of the room. 'Kidnapping' arrived at the venue."

You can imagine the scene painted by Senior Sister Lilith, where the crying and noisy Qiu Ke was easily picked up and taken away.

"What we thought at the time was that no matter what she would say on stage, we should at least let her know the mood of the students who supported her. When Qiu Ke came on stage, the students in the audience kept shouting for her Name. Probably frightened by the momentum, she stood on the stage stupidly until the shouting disappeared. I remember it seemed like a full five minutes."

As Senior Sister Lilith was talking, she seemed to be back in that scene, and even she couldn't help laughing.

"The follow-up is as you know, she became the student council president as she is now. That child worked really hard to respond to everyone's expectations."

"Senior Lilith, do you and Tiruya...senpai have a good relationship?"

Aika blurted out Tirua-senpai's name, and after realizing the difference in school years, she added the honorific.

"Yes, Tiruya is a very responsible person."

Ling said nothing. What was she thinking now? Luoluo and Wei Xi looked at her intentionally or unintentionally.

"I have submitted an application form to the Student Union to join the Discipline Team."

In the end, she just said this kind of thing that had nothing to do with the topic. This is enough to express her attitude.

"As the leader of the Discipline Team, Tirua is very strict."

"Um……"

Then, Senior Sister Lilith revealed some episodes about Qiu Ke after becoming the student council president, and before she knew it, it was time to leave.

After thanking Qiu Ke's parents, the five people hurried to the airport.

Fortunately, the boarding time was not missed. The airship carried everyone steadily towards the center of the Bisi Empire - the Imperial Capital.
