As night fell, Ayton leaned against the window of the forge room on the first floor, watching the full moon in the sky, thinking about the future in his mind, and the sound of a small flipping of paper behind him from time to time.

Ariel was meditating and practicing on the second floor, and Starry Night was still studying the drawings here, originally wanting her to pay attention to rest, but seeing the girl's focused expression, she was immersed in it, and she had the temperament of a scholar.

"Brother Ayton—" The silver-haired girl suddenly let out a soft call.

"What's wrong?" Ayton turned, only to find Starry Night's pretty red eyes with a hint of sadness.

"Brother Ayton, am I troublesome..."

Ayton was slightly stunned, if this kind of words were placed in the previous life, it would be easy for people to mistake it as irony, but the girl's pitiful appearance would definitely not make people think about it.

"No, don't think about it. Ayton waved his hand vigorously, he wasn't very comforting, he just kept his tone as soft as possible.

Starry Night lowered her eyes, and her expression was a little absent-minded, Raya once said that there is absolutely no giving for no reason in the world.

She and these two people are not related, but he did not hesitate to offend the nobles, spent a high price to save himself, cared for him in every way, and even made him worry again and again, was taken away, looked for himself everywhere, and when he went to the sewer, she just didn't want the two of them to worry, and rubbed the rope behind her hand desperately, and finally broke free, staggered home, squatted at the door and cried.

Now at the dinner table, he is racking his brains to recruit people to protect himself in the mansion... It's all just for the sake of such a minor security issue.

Ayton didn't know what was going on in the girl's mind, but he turned his gaze to the endless night, so that his heart could be calmed, and suddenly a small voice reached his sensitive ears.

"Brother Ayton, someone is coming" The first to speak was Starry Night, who had set up a complete vigilant eye not long ago, and discovered the comer one step ahead.

"How many people..."Ayton closed the curtain with his hand, his expression suddenly solemn.

"There's only one, it seems—" Starry Night closed her eyes, her consciousness connected to an inscription built into the wall, and a short figure came into view.

"Raya?"

As soon as the words fell, the curtain in front of the window was opened, and a head wearing a black hood with fluffy golden hair poking out underneath, because of her height, Ayton could only see half of her head, he slowly withdrew his right hand stretched out to the long sword, and said lightly: "What are you doing here?"

"Why, don't you want me to come?" Raya put her hands on the edge of the window, turned over and jumped in, patted the dust on her hands, glanced at the starry night sitting in her chair, and said to Ayton, "Don't you have any questions for me?"

“...... What the hell do you want to do?"

"The answer is very simple" The girl's head was slightly tilted, her blue eyes couldn't see any emotion, she gently opened her small hand stained with a thin layer of dust, and said calmly: "Subvert this world full of light and justice, and live at the top of the food chain." ”

“......”

The scene fell silent, and Ayton found that the girl's thoughts could not be simulated by normal people, and his throat quietly swallowed.

"It's you again, you still dare to come!" A delicate figure jumped down from the balcony on the second floor and landed on the window directly behind Raya, blocking her way, and her tone was even more faintly murderous.

Raya didn't panic at all and looked at Ayton: "You won't kill me, we're in a gang." ”

Before Ayton could speak, Ariel suddenly pulled out her dagger and scolded sharply: "Who is with you, what do you want to do!"

“... Let's talk to you like this" As if no one could understand what she meant, Raya exhaled a long breath and said lightly: "I want to form an alliance with you, we also can't see the light, and even hate the light of hypocrisy, I am willing to resist future crises with you, so as to live on the top of the continent." ”

As Raya spoke, she put one hand on her chest and slowly raised her other hand upwards with a particularly serious and sincere expression.

Ayton almost understood what she meant, and said helplessly: "First of all, I don't hate the light, what is the future crisis is my business, besides, I just want to live peacefully in the present, not some careerist who wants to subvert the entire continent." ”

"Live peacefully in the moment?" Raya sneered: "Isn't this right, if you want to live in this kind of world, without strong strength and background, how can this work?"

The phrase "......" surprised Ayton, full of refusal, and the other party actually heard the meaning of cooperation.

"Brother—" Ariel winked at him and asked if she wanted to do it, but the latter shook her head in refusal, and looked at the girl who was called a 'demon' by the civilians of the Southern Side.

"You said you want to live at the top of the pyramid, well, let me ask you, with your skills, you will definitely be able to join the aristocratic forces that are far stronger than me, why do you want to join me without any background?"

This is a crucial question, if she is just the kind of unscrupulous careerist, why does she have to take refuge in herself?

“... I'm a 'demon' and I won't really cooperate or even do anything with the people in the Light camp. Raya said this very blandly.

"......" was silent for a long time.

What kind of devilish logic is this!?

Raya also seemed to see the rejection in Ayton's eyes at this time, her pupils gradually dimmed, she looked at the starry night who had been sitting on the chair and had not dared to speak, turned around silently, passed by Ariel, turned over the windowsill, and the figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Baiss on the balcony silently looked at the short figure in the distance, and he didn't know what he was thinking...

"Brother, why do you want to let her go, God knows if she will do anything to threaten us" Ariel couldn't wait for the news of his order, and stamped her foot in anger.

"She's not going to say it. Ayton finished lightly, glancing at the bewildered starry night in his chair.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed early. ”

......

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Ya, dressed in formal clothes, stood outside the iron gate and waited, and the little girl with silver hair and red eyes came early to open the door for her.

The two girls said hello gently, returned to the house, and went to the kitchen to work on today's breakfast.

When the two women were ready, Bais, who had finished their morning run outside, had just come back, and Ayton had just gotten up and gone downstairs, and the two men said hello, the former went to the second floor to wake up his sleeping daughter, and the latter saw the well-prepared dining table, and was full of emotion in his heart, saying that he would do it himself.

"Well, this milk tastes good," Ariel couldn't help but say, picking up a bottle of milk on the table and drinking it, since the first time she tasted it on the ground, she fell in love with milk, and wanted to drink a bottle almost every morning, but she went out to buy it, and now someone has sent it to the door, I have to say that it is much more convenient.

"If you like it, I can bring one every day in the future. Via smiled slightly, in terms of etiquette, she was definitely the best among those people.

"Yes, how much does it cost," Ayton asked, looking at the four bottles left on the table.

"1 Silver Coin"

Ayton casually gave her 3 gold coins, saying that she was responsible for this month's diet, and her body's nutrition must not be left behind.

At this time, Baiss also walked down with Erin, the little girl saw the milk on the table, her eyes showed a hint of expectation, Ayton nodded with a smile, let her eat and drink as she pleased, now he is definitely wealthy.

Erin was pleasantly surprised, and just as she wanted to take the warm milk from Starry Night, Baiss took the milk before her, and took a sip on her lips, so she was relieved to signal her to take it casually.

"......" Ayton saw it in his eyes and didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, every time he and Ariel ate out, they would have a taste of it.

After breakfast, bidding farewell to everyone in the family, he and Ariel embarked on the road to the Bright Blue Magic Academy, and as soon as he went out, he saw a wave of people walking towards him, it was Warren and them, but there was a relatively strange girl among them...
