Prologue 5 December

In December, on the spaceport tarmac, a silver and green shuttle sprayed a faint light blue tail flame and stopped steadily on the tarmac. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the simplely decorated and elegant cabin, as the shuttle stopped, a soft and pleasant voice suddenly sounded: "Landing completed......" The cabin broadcast will curl up on the leather chair, and Lux, whose eyes are half-open and half-closed, and who is dozing off, will wake up. She opened her big eyes in a daze, and her little head looked left and right, which made the pink hair behind her head flutter back and forth as she turned her head from side to side, but she couldn't get rid of the fate of being pressed behind her back.

After a while, Lux froze her little head that was spinning back and forth, and muttered as if she had just come back to her senses, "It's December?" This made Siegel, who was sitting next to Lux, smile, and the golden beard on his lips shook with Siegel's silent smile, which was funny.

"Squint for a moment, feel better, don't you? ”

It's funny, but no one sees this scene, and even Lux, who was sitting next to Siegel, didn't notice it because she was in a daze, and it wasn't until Siegel asked her out loud that Lux came to her senses.

"Ha~"

With a small yawn in a long, cute tone, Lux turned her head to look at Siegel to the side.

"It's more comfortable, but people are still sleepy, and want to ......sleep," Lux replied to Siegel in a lazy tone, and then his cute little head paused as if dozing off, and then raised his hands and rubbed his big eyes lightly, and muttered to himself, "People should go and wash up first, or else they will laugh at Uncle Packeret in this way." ”

Hearing Lux's muttering, Siegel couldn't cry or laugh for a while, he felt that Pacritt was at most a joke, harmless, but after seeing Lux's trance-like appearance at this time, Siegel nodded approvingly, and then said with concern: "Do you need your father to find a waiter to help you go to the bathroom?" Lux naturally shook his head and said no, and then stood on the floor with a slight sway, and walked slowly towards the bathroom in the cabin.

The shuttle that Lux was aboard was called the 'Silver Wind II', a type of military high-speed shuttle, designed by the Jiuer Aviation Comprehensive Technology Research Institute under the Jiuer family, and produced by the Jiuer Spacecraft Manufacturing Company. Its shape is not much different from the general aircraft (refer to the original book), the color is mainly composed of silver, fluorescent green, the name of "Silver Wind" also comes from this, it was launched in C.E. 57, it has been about three years, because it is a militarized transformation of the "Silver Wind" shuttle, so the performance is better than the "Silver Wind" on the market.

For example, the civilian Silverwind takes three days to reach the Earth's surface from the L5 Grand point in 'long-range mode', while the military Silverwind only takes two days. While it may seem like a day less, it can be a day that can decide a lot for people with busy careers - like characters like Siegel.

"Father. ”

The bathroom wasn't far from the porthole, so when Lux washed up and walked out of the bathroom, she saw Siegel already standing at the porthole waiting for her.

"Hmm. ”

Siegel replied, and looked at Lux, who had already cleared away the sleepiness and was looking at him with great energy, and the golden beard on his lips curled up and smiled: "Pacritt is here." With that, Siegel beckoned to Lux, and when Luxs came to his side obediently, he turned around and walked down the gangway first.

The ramp had already fallen down when the Silver Wind was parked on the tarmac, and when you looked out from the porthole, you could see a bright light enveloping the entire apron, the floor of the apron was pressed with metal, reflecting a faint white light under the illumination of the light, which was dazzling;

At this time, Pacritt, who was protected by several guards in black suits, had already walked from the exit passage to the tarmac, less than thirty meters away from the gangway, and when Siegel and Lux got off the gangway and stood on the metal floor reflecting a faint white light, Pakritt and his party also came to him.

Pakritt has a light gray short and medium hair, it is combed back into a neat big back, exposing his wide and full forehead, black mixed with light gray two sword eyebrows seem to be wrinkled all the time, so that the age is only 37 years old, Pacritt in the prime of life has wrinkles early, coupled with his sharp light gray slender eyes that people dare not look at directly, the first impression of the whole face is serious, serious, serious, majestic, more majestic- This made ordinary people almost dare not say anything in front of Pakrit, for fear that if they said the wrong word, they would provoke his scolding.

Pakritt was a few points taller than Siegel, wearing a somewhat old light blue suit, and Siegel recognized at a glance that this was exactly what Pakritt was wearing when they first met each other, and although it was old, it could not hide Packlet's majesty at this time. He is like a vigorous and upright pine, although he is not the tallest in the audience, but even if he just stands, just listens, and just looks, he can feel a majestic momentum that flutters silently, which makes you more cautious, for fear of doing something wrong in front of him and attracting his majestic gaze.

It's just that this kind of majesty doesn't seem to work in front of Lux, when Pakrit fell on this majestic gaze that ordinary people can't help but hold their breath when they see it, but Lux blinked nonchalantly and looked directly at Pakrit with bright big eyes, and when her lips opened slightly, she greeted Pakrit in a soft and pleasant tone: "Uncle Pakrit, good afternoon...... Ha~" As he spoke, Lux's tone changed slightly, and finally he stretched out his little hand to cover his mouth and yawned shallowly.

"You... You......"

The cute appearance of Lux yawning made her greeting seem insincere, and it also made Pakritt feel quite amused when she saw this scene, but while it was funny, he also let go of the frown he had been frowning and showed a gentle smile.

"Hmm...... I'm sorry, Uncle Paklet, people didn't expect to yawn and say......" Lux, who knew that she had accidentally made a fool of herself again, blinked her eyes wide, made a pitiful expression and looked at Paklet, and then muttered in a voice that was not much louder than the "buzzing" sound made by flies when they flew: "How can people yawn when they have just seriously woken up with cold water? The thought of being ugly again, Lux's big eyes suddenly became foggy, making her already pitiful expression even more endearing.

It's just that her muttering was still heard by the sensitive ears of Paklet, Siegel and his party, which made Pakrit uncontrollable.

When he thought that when he usually met Lux, except for the first two accidents, which made her make some clowns in front of her and was teased by herself, she was always in good spirits and serious, and Pacritt knew that Lux really didn't mean to do such a faux pas - and when Pacrit muttered about it, she saw wet hair droplets on Lux's sideburns, which made Pakrit even more convinced that Lux really didn't mean to.

Even if Lux had meant it, Pakrit would have laughed it off - after all, his majesty was not meant to intimidate children.

Thinking about it, seeing Lux staring at him with an increasingly pitiful expression, Pakrit's relaxed face showed a gentle smile, he waved his hand to show that Lux didn't mind, and at the same time, he said warmly: "It's okay, it's okay, uncle knows that you didn't do it on purpose......" Hearing this, Lux, who was forgiven, raised his hand to wipe away the fog in his eyes, and re-revealed a beautiful smile that made people feel like a spring breeze and his heart was rippling.

After reassuring Lux, Pacritt was able to turn his head to look at Siegel, he still had a gentle smile on his face, walked up to Siegel in two steps, and gave Siegel a strong hug: "Today is obviously Lux's birthday, but I still trouble you to come to December, I really can't help you...... Friend. As she spoke, Pacritt patted Siegel on the back.

"It's okay, Lux has been bored in the mansion for a long time, and she just came out to walk around, walk around......"

Siegel knew that Pakrit only remembered that it was Lux's birthday after the fact, so he wouldn't blame Pacritt for it, let alone that Pacritt had already apologized so sincerely, so Siegel smiled and patted Pacrit's back gently, and then responded with emotion.

This tacit understanding made the two look at each other and smile, and then the two separated, Pacritt glanced around, and then smiled and stretched out his hand to the exit passage, making an invitation: "This is not a place to talk, let's talk while we walk." Siegel nodded in agreement, and Lux, who was standing next to Siegel, naturally had no objection.

Before leaving, Siegel turned around and instructed Reed, who was with him, "Give the key to the Maffei S300 limousine to the guard sent by Parklet, and let him transport the Maffei S300 limousine to the parking garage at the port." Hearing this, Reed nodded his head in agreement, and then turned to communicate and arrange with the guards sent by Paklet.

Then the group walked into the exit passage one after another.

The exit passage is arch-shaped, surrounded by a wall made of brown reinforced glass fiberglass, because it is brown, so it cannot be seen through, it is about 2.8 meters high, about 2.2 meters wide, can accommodate four or five people in parallel, from the entrance of the passage to the exit of the passage is covered with red carpet on the floor, making it look slightly luxurious, on both sides of the passage every ten meters there are two guards in black suits, all the way to the end of the passage, the defense can be described as strong.

"This is the Sara family's private tarmac, right?"

Lux followed Siegel's footsteps as she asked, seeing the guards spreading from here to the end.

"Yes. ”

Every time he saw Lux, Pakrit unconsciously relaxed and gentle—as could be seen by the gentle smile that still hung on his face—and Pacrit couldn't understand why this was the case, but he didn't think it was a bad thing, and he shouldn't have a serious face in the face of an innocent girl like Lux, even though his appearance would always make Renoa cry out for magic.

"Am I supposed to keep my face tight every day?"

At the thought of this, Packeret immediately burst into tears and laughter, for although he looked dignified, he was still very kind at home...... Maybe.

"Hmm......"

Lux blinked at Pacrit, whose face suddenly became strange, and after feeling that she could not understand his thoughts, she turned her head again and looked at the houseplants that could be seen from time to time around her with great interest.

"By the way......" Pacritt seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned sideways and whispered to Siegel: "Siegel, I have already informed Li Yalin, but he is still on the way from the training base, and it is estimated that it may take another one to two hours to reach the Klein Hotel." With that, Pakrit glanced at Lux and saw that she was still looking at the things around her, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—he knew that Siegel had definitely not informed Lux of this arrangement.

Just as Pakritt thought, Siegel really hadn't told Lux about this, so after nodding his head to show understanding, he turned his head to look at Lux and gently ordered: "Lux, if Reed is the only one to protect you, my father is worried that the security force will be a little insufficient, so I asked Li Yalin to come over to help protect you." As he spoke, seeing that Lux had already looked at him, he continued: "But he is still on his way, and it may take one to two hours to reach the Klein Hotel, and you can take a break during this time, what do you think?"

Hearing Siegel's arrangement, Lux shook her head, and unconsciously seemed to feel sleepiness sweeping over her, so her little head drooped, and even her tone seemed weak: "People know......" After speaking, Lux, who was originally energetic, became swaying again when he walked.

"Uh......"

Seeing that Lux showed a trance-like and sleepy look in a blink of an eye, Siegel and Pakritt looked at each other, and then laughed helplessly.

"Isn't Lux's health still improving?"

Neither Pacritt nor Siegel were worried about Lux as she walked along, as they had seen it many times...... Every time Pakrit and Siegel were worried that Lux would bump into something, she always avoided it as if she had sensed it, and over time, Pakrit and Siegel were no longer worried. As for the question mentioned by Pakrit, Siegel took a deep look at Lux before he replied with a light sigh: "Although Lux is much better now than when she was born, after the doctor's examination, Lux's physical fitness is still assessed as similar or even weaker than that of natural children...... Although it is said that because Lux is a tuner, he is not afraid of the common flu, but ......" said, Siegel couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Pakritt has worked with Siegel for many years, and naturally knows what makes Lux weaker.

Siegel's wife, Karina Judula, died when she gave birth to Lux, which happened to be the time of the outbreak of S2 influenza, and Lux was unfortunately infected with S2 influenza less than three months after birth, although the vaccine for S2 influenza was successfully developed and applied eight months later, but Lux's body was still weaker than ordinary adjusters, or even weaker than natural people, but this is not all bad.

Pakritt still remembers Siegel's exclamatory words......

A year after being cured of the S2 flu (that is, when Lux was 2 years old), Siegel found that Lux had mastered human language (both reading and writing, and the learning language was Chinese) before he knew it, and while answering him and Alice fluently, he could even instruct Alice to find books for her to read for herself - Siegel, who was puzzled about this, tried to discuss this matter with Lux, and Lux actually told Siegel the answer.

I remember that Lux had a surprised expression, as if wondering why I didn't know the answer (shrugging helplessly)...... Then she told me: 'People have been puzzled, but after checking a lot of information, they found that babies who have been infected with S2 influenza and successfully survived seem to have the ability to think, remember, and understand that ordinary people do not have. The answer Lux gave was so perfect that I was speechless. —These were the words of Siegel at that time with a full sigh.

"Let's change the subject......"

When Pakritt saw Siegel's expression full of self-reproach, he knew that he was starting to blame himself for his carelessness again, which made Pakritt shake his head helplessly, and then changed the subject: "Does Lux still resist normal physical contact with men?"

For some reason, Lux was reluctant to engage with the other boys. After a pause, Siegel replied, "I was fine when I was one year old, but since Lux was two years old, she refused to hug me, and only Alice or the other maids could carry her back to her room...... Alas. Well, Siegel's reply left Pakrit speechless for a while, and seeing him sighing and sighing, Pakrit's mind couldn't help but have a thought: "What should I do about Tilacus so that Siegel doesn't sigh?"

Before Pakrit could get too much tangled, the exit of the passage appeared in front of them......
