Just as Jiuling and Catherine were talking and laughing and heading to a prestigious royal restaurant, Nagisa and Alice also arrived at the exclusive airframe maintenance hangar in Tolamba City. After verifying the identities of the two, the guards at the door of the hangar saluted them respectfully: "Lord Evans, Lord Alice, please come inside." ”

Nagisa returned the salute and bowed slightly: "It's hard work." After speaking, he and Alice walked side by side to the debugging area of the body, summoned the ox height from the mind storage system and parked it in the appropriate area, and the operating system comprehensively tested the values of the cow height.

"Nagisa-sama, has your cow been overhauled again, and it feels like a lot of parts have been replaced." Alice looked intently at the various data streams and images on the screen, and turned to Nagisa to the side and asked.

"Yes, it was so badly damaged before, so the latest overhaul can almost be called a rebirth."

"Huh? Did something happen? ”

"Ah, by the way, I haven't told Alice about my last year at the academy! You can't imagine how wonderful my life is. If I'm not careful, I may not be able to come back......" Then, Nagisa told Alice in detail all the ups and downs she had experienced in the life of the academy in the past year, and she was so frightened that she stared.

"Wow, Nagisa-sama's last year of life is really too thrilling, and I almost can't come back to meet Alice." After listening to Nagisa's narration, Alice breathed a long sigh of relief and involuntarily patted her heart, and there was an instant wave in her chest. Nagisa hurriedly turned her gaze from her to the screen.

"Yes, for that dragoon system, the Holy Kingdom really fought hard."

"It's-ah, and that guy named Faeron, I really didn't see it just now, he is such a vicious person, he actually wants to kill Sister Catherine!" Alice clenched her pink fist angrily, "Hmph, if you have a chance, Alice must teach him a good lesson!" ”

"Well, it's all in the past, he had a little misunderstanding with us before, but now it's completely solved. Also, even though the rules of the entrance test are like that, I think that with Nanaya Naia and Kencat here, I don't think I will let such a thing happen as a student dying. Nagisa frowned thoughtfully, "It's just that I'm a little confused. Why did the academy suddenly change this rule, knowing that a considerable number of the students were the children of nobles and even the high-level of various forces? Something unusual must have happened. ”

"It's useless to think about it now, the academy is closed."

"Well, yes—oh? It's been tested. Judging by the results, the current situation is not bad, but we still need to start producing upgraded parts as soon as possible - Alice, help me import this data into the system. With that, Nagisa handed her a box, Alice opened the box and took out a cylindrical data storage device inside, and then the operating system called up another interface, and skillfully pressed a series of keys on the virtual keyboard.

After a few seconds of "buzzing ......", a circular area on the operation panel of the inspection instrument slowly opened, and a slot rose up. Alice puts the cylinder in, and after the slot automatically rotates to adjust the cylinder to the optimal position and fix it, it automatically lowers it back to a horizontal state and closes the metal cover at the top. Nagisa then saw various data streams flash across the screen, and finally freeze on an extremely complex design drawing.

"Oh, Nagisa-sama, your design is detailed enough." Alice's eyes widened in admiration, "All the upgrade parts of Niu Gao are all in this picture, and all kinds of detailed parameters are clearly marked." If it goes well, the production can be completed within this month, and if the installation, upgrade, and commissioning start next month, Saber will give us enough three months. ”

"Well, I guess it's pretty much the same. Alice, you will save these materials, and then you will be responsible for monitoring the entire production process, and you must complete the production of all parts within a month. Nagisa smiled, "But you don't have to worry too much, I have saved a backup of these data, so if you feel that the information in your hand is likely to be leaked, you can force the destruction as soon as possible to avoid data leakage." ”

"Don't worry, Nagisa-sama, Alice won't let you down." The brown-haired girl looked at him with a smile.

"Well, my Alice is really beautiful and capable." Nagisa hugged Alice gently, "Then I'll work hard for you next, this is a very important event - it can be said that it is the top priority related to the battle situation." ”

"Nagisa-sama is making fun of people again." Alice blushed again, "Just leave it to me." ”

"Seriously, our Alice is the best! I don't know which stupid boy will be cheaper in the future, and he will be so blessed to marry you home? I'm going to take care of it myself. Nagisa half-jokingly, "Alice, take out the information and go back with me, I'll make you something to eat." ”

Alice listened to Nagisa's words about her life's events, her face changed slightly, and her expression suddenly stiffened. But Nagisa didn't notice the subtle changes in her, so she had to reluctantly squeeze out a smile: "Alice is still young, what to marry or not, people don't want to hear it!" Alright, Nagisama, let's go, I'm dying of hunger. With that, Alice took the data out of the instrument, then turned it off and pulled Nagisa out of the hangar.

"Hey, Alice, slow down. Don't worry, you have to go to the supermarket with me to buy the ingredients first, or I won't be able to make a meal out of thin air. Nagisa looked at her anxious appearance and smiled helplessly.

"Oh, yes......" Alice tilted her head and blinked her big watery eyes as she grabbed Nagisa's arm. A soft part was clinging to Nagisa's arm, and his expression was slightly unnatural, but in the end she was gone.

Nagisa walks through the streets of Tolamba City, feeling the atmosphere of the city that has not been seen for a long time. After staying in the academy for a long time, facing boring theoretical courses and high-intensity practical training day after day, everything in life will be arranged in an orderly manner, and there is no need to do it himself, so he has long forgotten what it is like to live among ordinary people. And at this moment, as he stepped on the busy avenue under his feet, and his ears were filled with the sounds of pedestrians and hawkers haggling and talking, he really felt that he was indeed back.

However, it seems that ordinary life will never be smooth sailing, even if he just wants to go to the supermarket to buy groceries at the moment.

"Hey, old man! The protection fee should be paid these days, right? Nagisa's ears were heard by a voice full of unpleasant ruffians, and he followed the voice, and the owner of the voice was a young man with a chicken's nest hairstyle and a rogue air. The man, who looked no more than twenty-four or five years old, pretended to have a gold chain about the size of a child's pinky finger around his neck, his hands in his pockets, his nostrils facing the sky, and a cigar in his mouth, and he stared condescendingly at the old man who was hunched in front of him.

Despite the distance, Alice couldn't help frowning and took a step back: "This person stinks!" Lord Nagisa, when I came, I heard from Jiu Ling that there was a gang of hooligans in this city, who came out from time to time to collect the so-called protection money, which was actually extortion. They specialize in bullying the elderly, the weak, women and children, and they also molest young girls. Scared, Alice didn't dare to go out alone, but she didn't expect to meet her today. ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Nagisa patted Alice's head and comforted softly, "Jiu Ling is also in a dilemma, in this extraordinary period, if the army is dispatched to fight against these people, it will be easy for the Desert Empire to find an opportunity. So he can only endure it and not mention it for the time being, waiting for later. ”

"This ...... Didn't you already hand it over the day before yesterday? The old man said tremblingly, with a look of pleading in his eyes, "Young man, just let me go." My wife is not in good health, so she can only rely on me to set up a stall to earn some money to make ends meet, and if you take it all, we really won't even be able to eat. ”

"You old immortal, why do you come from so much nonsense!" The rogue young man impatiently knocked all the old man's fruits to the ground, and then kicked him hard in the chest, "If I don't give you some power, you won't know who I am, uncle!" ”

"Ahem......" The old man was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground and gasped. The pedestrians around them all stopped, pointed at the young man, and talked about it, with a look of anger and inaction.

"What are you looking at?" The young man glared at them fiercely, his tone as fierce as his expression, "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu plucked out your eyes one by one and threw them on the ground to feed the dogs?" ”

"Yo, third brother, how are you doing here?" Another young man with colorful hair came over from a distance, "My second brother and I have collected a lot, and we are ready to go back to deal with the boss." How about having some fun tonight? ”

"Ah, I'm pretty much there, you wait for me to get this damn old man." The young man at the head of the chicken nest turned his head, "Old thing, do you hear me?" Hurry up and get the money out, otherwise it will delay the end of work, but don't blame me for being rude! ”

"You...... Ahem...... There will be retribution...... Ahem...... "The old man curled up on the ground, struggling to protect the money bag on his chest, "This money, you ...... Ahem...... Don't want to take ......."
