Endless Silver Machine

About ten minutes later, Qiu Ke came back from the background.

"Eh? Senior Sister Sera, can you help me get rid of the water on the floor? I'm obviously going to dry my clothes and then clean them up myself..."

"You're welcome, President. If you want to thank me, find a time to come to our store and work temporarily for a day next time. There are many students who want to see you wearing our uniform!"

"Yeah, no problem!"

Qiu Ke did not realize the unfairness of this agreement at all and agreed without hesitation. Aika saw from an angle that Qiu Ke couldn't see, several girls who were also waiters gave a thumbs up to Senior Sister Sera.

Qiu Ke came to Aika and Lilith's table with a happy face and sat down on the empty seats.

"The rain came so suddenly, my tail and hair were soaked."

Qiu Ke casually combed his freshly dried hair, and his big fluffy tail was no longer listless and filled with water. It was swaying melodiously back and forth behind the chair.

"By the way, what are you two doing here? Going on a date?"

"That's not true!" Aika denied with a blushing face, "Besides, isn't this the seal that you personally stamped, the president?"

Aika took out a piece of paper from her bag. It was a permission slip to enter the forest surrounding Shimozuki Academy. There were two seals on it representing the principal of Phyllis Academy and the student union of Shimozuki Academy.

Qiu Ke tilted his head, took the permission slip from Aika's hand, and glanced at it briefly.

"It's true that I got the seal...but I don't know the content. Xiao Yaya did the review, I was just responsible for sealing it."

"President, why does the review work have to be left to Tiruya? I remember that this should be the job of the student council president himself, and signing and sealing is the job of the vice president, right? Can you explain it a little bit?"

Aika and Qiu Ke trembled at the same time because of Senior Lilith's smile. He has such a warm and kind smile, but where does this cold air come from?

…………

While Senior Sister Lilith was preaching to Qiu Ke, the rain had stopped, and bits of sunshine were shining onto the earth from the thick gray clouds.

"Don't let Tiluya worry anymore. I will ask her personally about your situation when I have time."

"Oh, I know..."

After being forced to undergo half an hour of education and brainwashing by Senior Sister Lilith, Qiu Ke's ears and tail drooped feebly.

"Senior Lilith, the rain has stopped, it's almost time to leave."

Seeing that the relationship between the two had come to an end, Aika began to prepare her backpack for departure.

"Do you want to go into the surrounding forest?" Seeing Aika's action, Qiu Ke's originally sluggish spirit immediately cheered up, "I want to go too!"

"No, it's too dangerous." Senior Sister Lilith shook her head at Qiu Ke, who looked expectant, "Besides, President, you don't have permission, right?"

"If you have permission, I have it," Qiu Ke pointed to Aika's backpack, "There is no limit on the number of people on that permission slip!"

"This kid is so familiar with the rules and regulations only at this time..."

Senior Lilith and Qiu Ke refused to give in, and there was nothing Aika could do against them.

At this time, the PDA beep sounded in Aika's pocket, and a familiar name was displayed on the screen.

——Lolo?

"Luoluo, what's the matter... Well, no, they're still here... Others? Senior Sister Lilith and Qiu Ke are also here... Wait! What are you talking about!"

Noticing that her voice was too loud, Aika quickly lowered her voice.

"No, I will never agree...Ling said that? What is that guy doing...eh?"

The PDA in Aika's hand disappeared, and it turned out that Qiu Ke jumped up and snatched the PDA away.

"Hello? Luoluo? It's me, it's me... Yeah, I understand, I understand... Then we'll wait for you here... Yeah, no problem... Yeah, that's it."

With a satisfied look on his face, Qiu Ke returned the PDA that ended the call to the dumbfounded Aika.

…………

Ten minutes later, Luoluo's figure appeared in the "Moonlight Bath".

"Sorry... I kept you waiting for so long..."

Luoluo seemed to have been running all the way. She held her knees and gasped for air.

"Well, Luo Luo, you have worked hard, please take a rest first!"

I don’t know when the command of the peripheral forest expedition team (tentative) was handed over to Qiu Ke. She placed the juice she had bought before in front of the empty seat at the end of the four-corner table, and then guided Lolo to her seat with a smile on her face.

"I'm sorry, brother..."

Although he was so forceful during the phone call, Luoluo still apologized to him obediently when he sat down next to Aika.

"You are not wrong. It is the president who is wrong. Thank you for your hard work..."

With a helpless tone, Aika smoothed away Lolo's hair that was stuck to her cheeks due to sweat.

When her brother reached out to her, Luoluo closed her eyes nervously. As his fingers slowly caressed his cheek, his accelerated heartbeat became more intense.

“Against favoritism!”

"This is not a preference. Is that so, Senior Lilith?"

"There is no objection. The president is guilty."

"You see."

"Uh-huh--"

After waiting for Luoluo to calm down his breathing, under the leadership of Qiu Ke, everyone finally began to move towards their destination - the forest outside Shuoyue Academy.

From two people at the beginning to four people now, as the saying goes, the plan can't keep up with the changes. Can Aika's original purpose-to help Senior Lilith with magic training really go smoothly?

…………

The fresh earthy aroma surrounds the rain-washed forest, and crystalline rhinestones hang from the plants on both sides of the trail, dissolving the light into seven different colors.

Occasionally, you can see small monsters moving in the forest. This kind of first- and second-level monsters are basically no threat to humans. Instead, they add vitality to the forest.

Small puddles can be seen everywhere on the ground after the rain. Senior Lilith always looked at her feet and followed Aika cautiously.

"Qiu Ke, be careful."

"Thanks……"

Qiu Ke and Luo Luo walked hand in hand behind the two of them.

Luoluo, who has lived in a mountain village since she was a child, has long been accustomed to such rugged forest paths like her brother. However, Qiu Ke always gets tripped by raised rocks or branches, so Luoluo holds her hand. .

In this area, Aika and Luoluo were familiar with the terrain during practical classes, not to mention Qiu Ke and senior Lilith.

After walking for more than ten minutes, everyone arrived at the reserved open space. Not far from this clearing is the river that serves as the dividing line between the surrounding forest and the outer forest. This is also the main trunk of the river that runs through Shigetsuki Academy.

"Just here. By the way..." Aika stopped in the center of the open space. He looked back at the two people outside the reservation, "What are you two going to do? You can't just stand here and look at me. Practice with Senior Lilith, right?"

"Luoluo and I will take a walk around. We can only enter here during class time. We finally got the permission. We must cherish this rare opportunity."

"Brother, Qiu and I won't go too far."

If Qiu Ke made such a guarantee, Aika and Senior Lilith would not be able to relax at all, but if Luo Luo was also around, that would be another matter.

"Don't go too far, and don't irritate the monsters that don't look fierce. Next..." After instructing the two people, Aika looked at Senior Sister Lilith, "Without further delay, let's get started. "

He took off his backpack. In addition to flares and other emergency supplies, there was also lunch for two purchased from "Moonlight Bath". When setting off, Qiu Ke and Luo Luo's share was added.

Senior Lilith stood in the center of the clearing and activated her magic tool. Her starter is a ring on her middle finger set with a blue-violet diamond.

Aika once heard from girls that wearing rings on different fingers seems to have different meanings, but she can’t remember the specific content.

"Every time I look at Lilith-senpai's magic tools, I feel that they have a very unique look."

Senior Lilith's magic tool is a staff nearly one meter long. The front end of the staff is composed of a ring connecting three long rhombus-shaped blades. The three long rhombus-shaped blades and the body of the staff together form a cross shape.

Magic tools are essentially different from magic equipment. The popular magic tools can only speed up the activation of magic or other supernatural powers and reduce the loss of magic power. Some high-end magic tools have built-in magic formulas that can be released directly.

Senior Lilith's staff is an auxiliary magic tool, while Qiu Ke's magic tool, the thorn whip, is an offensive magic tool. Other types include device type, biological type, etc. Aika is not interested in this part of knowledge, so he only knows so much.

Colorful natural elves appeared around Senior Lilith, floating and rotating around her, and some would stick to her cheeks and rub gently. Is Senior Lilith's physique that attracts natural spirits innate?

"I don't know about this. When I noticed, these children appeared next to me." Senior Sister Lilith stretched out her hand forward, and the elves surrounded her slender fingers and began to peck gently, " I was able to pass the entrance examination of Shimozuki Academy, probably because of their blessing."

"Maybe it's because Lily-senpai has a special charm."

"Special...charm?"

"Well, that's how it feels to me."

Not noticing the ripples of Lilith-senpai's emotions, Aika also unfolded the magically installed Fiery Eyes.

…………

Luoluo and Qiu Ke returned to the open space where Aika and Senior Sister Lilith were on time during lunch time. To be precise, food was the driving force that forced Qiu Ke to return to the original place. Senior Lilith's suggestion was correct. If Qiu Ke's lunch was left at Luo Luo's place, she might not come back within the agreed time.

In the afternoon, Qiu Ke and Luo Luo took a lunch break and explored the depths of the surrounding forest again, this time in a different direction. This time, not long after they left, Aika and Senior Lilith received messages from the two of them, saying that they had discovered something interesting.

"Classmate Aika, it's almost time to rest. Let's go to their place and have a look."

It seemed that Lilith-senpai was interested in the interesting things found by the two men, so Aika converted the magic outfit back into a silver wrist wheel.

"Senior Lilith, please go over first and I'll clean up this place."

PDA can determine the location of each other, so you don't have to worry about getting lost in the forest.

"Then please leave it to Aika-san."

After completely cleaning up the traces left in the open space, Aika chased after Senior Lilith who left early. The PDA showed the three of them gathered not far away.

"ah!"

Just when they were about to see their figures, Luoluo's cry reached Aika's ears. His heart tightened, and he immediately quickened his pace, and vaguely heard the voices of senior Lilith and Qiu Ke.

"what happened……"

"It was cute just now, but suddenly it became so weird..."

Aika pushed aside the green leaves in front of him, and then he saw a scene he shouldn't have seen.

Qiu Ke was lying on his back, his legs being stretched apart trying to get together. The light blue slime bound her hands and feet, and through the slime's transparent body, the blue and white striped fabric under the skirt could be vaguely seen.

"Ugh... sticky..."

Qiu Ke, who was completely unable to free himself, groaned in shame.

Luoluo knelt down next to Qiu Ke. Her uniform became messy due to the slime's movement. Bai Jiu's shoulders were exposed and her long hair was spread over her shoulders.

Despite this, she still tried her best to reach out to Qiu Ke and try to drive away the slime that was restraining her, but when she saw Aika suddenly appeared...

"Ah! Brother, don't look here!"

She immediately covered the open chest of her uniform. As a result, this action caused her foot to slip, and Luo Luo, who lost her balance, fell on Qiu Ke, exposing more skin, and all the places that shouldn't be seen were seen.

"Aika-san, think of a solution quickly!"

Senior Lilith also had a wide open neckline, revealing most of her light pink underwear.

She was also bound by the slippery slimes. The nature elves surrounded her, but they could only helplessly circle around the first-level slimes. They must have judged that if they attacked rashly, they might hurt Senior Lilith, so they were in a state of indecision like now.

"Even if you ask me to find a way..."

Only then did Aika realize what she had to do.

The first-level slimes will not cause harm to humans. They mainly live in groups where there is water. After rain, they will appear in piles like this.

"As long as there is water...Senior Lilith, can you use the magic to summon water?"

"The power of natural elves is not enough... Only elemental magic can summon so much water..."

"Can the water from the nearby river also be used? The river water should be diverted here. Senior Sister Lilith, can you ask the natural elves to make the ground here sink and gather the water together?"

"Um……"

"Then I will..."

Aika faced the river not far away, and its wrist wheel transformed into a multi-barreled machine gun. Different from ordinary hand-held firearms, its gun body was located under the trigger, and it had a wide handle modified for stability in the hand-held area.

"Modify it based on Professor Cocona's theory..."

The barrels arranged in circular tubes merged into a large-caliber barrel in the silver light.

Aika uses her own magic power to activate the family crest in the magic suit. It is obvious that the real power is the magic power belonging to the magic suit, but Aika's mind has been able to understand and control this magic power as she pleases.

The torrent of magic power that burst out from the muzzle violently penetrated the barrier that had been repaired not long ago, and the ground shook violently.

"Now, Senior Lilith!"

After receiving Aika's signal, Senior Lilith held the manifested staff tightly in her hand. The soil in the clearing they were in collapsed,

It connects the channel created by Aika to lead here.

The slime dissolved into the temporarily created puddle, and the water level only reached their calves. Slime dissolved in water will return to its original appearance after the water disappears.

After that, because Aika touched the barrier of Frost Moon Academy, the discipline team was dispatched urgently and arrested the four principal criminals at the entrance to the surrounding forest.
