Endless Silver Machine

When a friendly force was shot down by an attack of unknown origin, the Imperial Air Magic Fleet immediately determined the source of the attack through shooting trajectories.

But when the sea area at the attack point was searched, the detection device found nothing. The sea surface was empty except for heavy sea fog.

Just as the command ship was plunged into chaos, their confusion was completely destroyed by the saturation bombardment fired from the thick fog.

After losing two-thirds of its combat power in an instant, the aviation magic ship turned to fire randomly into the fog. Even the magic power that had been used for defense in order to guard against "mechanical alchemy" was all converted into magic bombardment.

The thick magic light beam shot into the thick fog without any reverberation. It didn't even stir up the sea water. It just disappeared silently and invisibly.

The next moment, like a retaliation, the second round of magic artillery blasts pierced the sky, completely wiping out the last remaining force of the Imperial Air Magic Fleet, which was ordered to pursue the absconding civilian airship.

Charlotte witnessed the destruction of the Imperial Air Magic Fleet in the cockpit.

She couldn't understand at all who the person who destroyed the empire's most powerful force was in the blink of an eye, and this was not the time to focus on this issue.

This civilian airship consumed a lot of energy while avoiding the storm caused by the air burst bombs.

Now that the obstacles on the original path have been cleared, it is the safest way to go straight to Shimozuki Academy along the original path.

Although we don’t know whether the force that destroyed the Imperial Air Magic Fleet is an enemy or a friend, there is no better option at the moment.

After the civilian airship slowed down and stabilized, Anjie came to the cockpit again.

"Miss Charlotte turns out to be reckless sometimes."

"I'd rather you call it a strategy."

"Then I will understand that this is your strategy."

Regardless of whether it was a joke or not, the point of laughter was lost when she said it in Anjie's calm tone.

Charlotte switched to automatic driving again and got out of the driver's seat.

"Does Miss Charlotte know the source of the rescue just now?"

"I don't know. Do you have any clue?"

Facing Charlotte's question, Anjie just shook her head.

Charlotte stopped discussing this issue. If Anjie didn't know about it, there would be no third person to ask.

"Miss Anjie, can you sit here for a while for me? I want to see Her Royal Highness..."

"It doesn't matter, but I don't know what to do."

"Ah, it's on autopilot now. If anything happens, just call me over the cabin radio and I'll be here right away."

After Anjie nodded gently, Charlotte, who couldn't hold back her eagerness, immediately strode into the cabin.

The air and sea war ended between Philly and Ruby's conversation.

In an era when magic technology was prevalent and aviation magic ships were the overlords of war, the Sea Mist Fleet won a complete victory.

"If you hadn't taken the initiative to join us, I really don't know how those tasks would have been completed."

"I just want to use your power to get my sister back... Because I have this idea, these are what I should do..."

Ruby lowered her head with a smile, and the vine wand she held behind her back rang a clear bell.

Her magical equipment "Illusion of Fog" can completely fog the space within a certain range, which is also the origin of the name of the Sea Fog Fleet.

"Ruby, it's been almost two years since you've been here, right?"

"Hey, that's it..."

"Aren't you used to life here yet?"

"No." This time, Ruby showed a comfortable smile, "I think this place is just like home, and everyone is a family."

"Then why do you keep calling me 'Captain'?"

Not sure whether it was intentional or not, Feili suddenly asked this unserious question.

Ruby probably hadn't noticed yet, but there was a playful smile on Feili's lips.

"That's because..." Ruby looked away awkwardly, "That kind of name is a bit unacceptable, and..."

"You have only one 'sister', right?"

"But the captain is also someone I value very much, and I don't compare myself with my sister..."

"I know, I know. After all, you have left your country for two years for your sister."

Philly took satisfaction from Ruby's reaction and touched her head tenderly.

At this time, a voice that didn't care about the atmosphere intervened between the two of them.

"Sister, Corel is back!"

Ruby was immersed in Feili's touch on her head, and was so frightened by Ziyue's shouting that her whole body trembled, and she quickly took a step back and left Feili.

Feili could only let go of Ruby with a slight regret, and turned to look in the direction of the bridge.

Next to the bouncing Ziyue was Corel, who had gone to Augustus of the Bes Empire a few hours ago to perform a mission.

Corel had already changed out of the tights she wore when she sneaked into the castle in the room she was teleported back to, and returned to her daily attire.

Even on the ship where other girls were wearing crisp swimsuits, Corel still wore a slightly childish newsboy cap and a light red scarf. Under the brown dress, her body was in the prime of development.

"Kerrell, thank you for your hard work. We just finished here."

There was a ball of pure white fluff on Corel's hat.

That was the hairy jade she picked up at Shuoyue Academy. Although the textbook records that the size of the adult Maoyu is huge, it is unknown whether it was affected by Luoluo's healing magic and the size of this Maoyu did not continue to increase.

So, Corel "naturally" kept it as a pet on the boat.

"In that case, the mission is over, right? Thank you for your hard work, onee-sama."

Although Corel forced a smile, she could not conceal her fatigue.

Sneaking into August all night, there are many variables involved in the battle, and she, who is still just a student, will naturally not be able to bear it.

"The last part of the mission is left. We have to escort them to Frost Moon Academy. Corel, please go back to your room and rest first, and then leave everything to us."

"Sister, I have a question that I can't figure out..."

"You tell me."

With Feili's permission, Corel revealed the confusion she felt during the infiltration mission.

"I'm thinking...why did onee-sama risk exposure to help them? Although senior Aika, senior Luoluo and senior Ling are all very important seniors to me, but for 'our' What’s the meaning?”

Corel wants to rescue the seniors, this is her sincerity.

Senior Aika helped himself up after falling during the Moon Flower Festival, and distributed leaflets together; without seniors Luoluo and Ling, his own Maoyu would never have survived.

Therefore, these seniors are really important to Corel.

But for her own selfish desires, she severely hurt Senior Sister Luoluo and Senior Sister Ling. This was her helpless act and the self-blame she could never forgive.

Perhaps this kind of assistance can be regarded as his own atonement, but Corel also wants to know the real reason beyond wishful thinking.

It was not difficult for Feili to see the contradiction in Corel's heart at this time.

"Why..." She put her hands on her hips and looked up at the gradually clearing sky. "There is no special reason. It's just that I once cooperated with the third princess of the Bisi Empire."

Until the end, Corel didn't know whether Fei Li's words were true or perfunctory.
