Taking a walk after dinner every day seems to have become a habit of Mu Q now.

Even if Arthur didn't say it, when the weather was nice, she would come out to bask in the sun, read a book under the gazebo here for a while, and wait for his arrival.

Habits can sometimes be a very important factor.

Maybe it's too short for a short time to be obvious, but later, when the habit can't be changed, every time a girl goes out for a walk, then the impression of someone will naturally arise in her mind.

In this way, will it be far from the success of the strategy?

Arthur sighed, thinking that Sissi's plan was indeed very accurate.

Sure enough, she is a witch who has seen through people's hearts, I am afraid that as long as there are emotional fluctuations, then no one in this world will be able to escape her calculations - including herself.

Shaking his head, Arthur looked up and took the book from Pache Valley's hand.

Although it is a trick, but at least, please pay your sincerity at this time, otherwise...... Even I won't forgive myself.

"This is a magic book that you wrote yourself?"

Turning the page and looking at the name of the editor-in-chief on it, Arthur smiled softly and turned his head to look at the witch next to him.

Mu Q's face flushed, and then he straightened his chest slightly with some pride.

"I'm a magician who is proficient in the magic of the Seven Dawns!"

"yes, I know." Arthur looked at Pache with a smile, "So, no one has a better say in magic than you, does he?" ”

“…… Well. ”

That's what Mu Q wanted to express, and seeing that Arthur had understood, a smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth.

"That's right, you have to smile a lot like this, that's good."

“…… Not. ”

"If you are so beautiful, why do you have to keep a face all day long and be silent? Do you really think that you are a housemaid who has not left the house for thousands of years? ”

“…… MQ. ”

Her face was slightly red, and the girl gave Arthur a strange look.

After so many days of getting along, Patchouli has understood that when Arthur is talking, you must not fight with him, otherwise she will definitely lose in the end.

But Arthur isn't the kind of character who chatters a lot.

Seeing that the girl listened, he shrugged his shoulders and gave up the idea of continuing to preach.

Under the shade of the tree, there is a small table with a chess game carved by a special staff, and there are chess pieces next to it.

"You probably would, right?"

"Of course."

The two sat opposite each other, and Arthur took the initiative to place the chess pieces on both sides, and then stretched out his hand and motioned for the girl to go first.

Mu Q picked up a chess piece, smiled slightly, and took his first step.

―――――――― witty dividing line――――――――――

Minutes and seconds passed.

A breeze blew, bringing up a few strands of purple hair, a few of which fell into the hands of Arthur, who was worried that he had no way out.

Gently twisting, feeling the softness of the girl's hair, Arthur shook his head and smiled, and threw away the king in his hand.

"I lost."

Generously admitting defeat, Arthur stood up, loosened Pache hair, clapped his hands, took out two apples from the collector, and handed one of them to the witch opposite.

"It's your loot."

"Poof~ Then I'll accept it unceremoniously."

Looking at Arthur with a smile on her face, Patchouli took the apple from his hand and took a bite, already biting off a small piece.

The snow-white flesh contrasts sharply with the bright red peel.

Crisp, sweet, and delicious.

A faint nostalgia rose from Pache Li's mind.

How long has it been since you stood in the sun, blowing the breeze, and eating apples with a smile like this?

"Arthur, thank you."

"Thank me?" Arthur picked up the apple in his hand, took a bite and shook it, "Thank you for my apple?" You're welcome. ”

"You know that's not what I'm talking about."

"Then you have to say," Arthur took another bite of the apple and looked at Mu Q with a smile, "how would I know if you don't tell me." ”

Mu Q gave him a blank look, turned around, didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, held the magic guide book in his hand, and walked slowly towards the Red Devil Pavilion.

Arthur looked at her back, pursed his lips, and smiled faintly.

The footsteps are brisk, and the soles of the feet land before the heels, which is obviously in a good mood.

"I feel like I'm about to become a love saint."

Nodding his forehead, Arthur shook his head and smiled wryly.

Is it a lover saint or a liar? Maybe it's more appropriate to describe it as scum?

'You're a scumbag, the king of scum. ’

Sissi's laughter rang out in his head, making the wry smile on Arthur's face even worse.

This roundtable manager ......

"I'll be back soon."

Looking up, Arthur looked at the back of his left hand.

The restoration of Z16 has entered the final stage, and it will be completed in less than a day, and at that time, it is time to leave here.

It's not a good thing to leave your territory alone.

Although there is Sissi, the girl is not herself after all, even if she can control the situation for a while by means, if she doesn't show up again, it will still cause a commotion.

'I see, do you need me to greet you?' ’

"Then you don't need to, but ......" Arthur looked at the large giant dimensional crystal in the collector and suddenly said, "There is something you need to do. ”

'Huh? ’

"I need to build a gate......

After a while, Arthur turned off the telepathy, was silent for a moment, and walked towards the Red Devil Pavilion.

The foreshadowing that should be laid has been completed, and all that remains is to wait for time to ferment it.

Now, all he needs to do is to leave this place with the princess, who is already completely his own, and then ...... Start your own journey.

―――――――――― still witty dividing line――――――――――

"Admiral, Z16 reports to you~!"

The elementary school students, who had not seen each other for a long time, stood in front of them again in high spirits.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of reunion after a long absence.

Arthur picked up the schoolboy and rubbed the schoolboy's blonde hair: "It's really bad armor, it must be strengthened." ”

The elementary school student's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Arthur excitedly.

Admirals are willing to spend a lot of resources to renovate themselves, which is something that every shipwreck looks forward to.

"I will definitely work harder to serve the Admiral," said seriously, and after thinking about it, the elementary school student added a few more words: "And the chest of Z16 will also become bigger by then~"

As soon as the sentence "......" was added, the whole atmosphere was completely different!

The corners of Arthur's mouth twitched, and he looked back at the princess who had followed him to the destroyer.

There was no strange expression on Elquite's face...... No, if there is one, it is...... Excited?

"It's so cute~"

Before Arthur could come to his senses, the schoolboy in his arms had already arrived in the princess's arms.

The girl's eyes narrowed as she smiled.

The princess stroked Z16's blonde hair and turned to look at Arthur: "Arthur, is this your child?" It's so cute~"

"No...... Elquette ......"

"I'll be a good mother." The princess solemnly assured.

So what weird plot do you have in your heart!

"Do I look like someone who doesn't know moderation?" Covering his head, Arthur looked helpless, "I'm only 17 years old, princess, how can I have such a big child!" ”

"Huh~" At this time, the princess also found out that something was wrong, hugged Z16, pondered for two seconds, and suddenly raised her head: "It turns out that Arthur started ...... when you were ten years old"

"Stop, stop, don't give me anything bad."

Snatching Z16 from the princess's arms, Arthur lowered the schoolboy to the ground with a bewildered expression.

"Let's get out of the boat, Z16."

"Yes, Admiral~"

The destroyer took off and slowly flew away from the ground.

Arthur took out the signal jammer from his pocket and released the jamming signal at the sky in front of him.

Looking down at the ground farther and farther away, the boy felt a loss in his heart.

"Will you be back, Arthur?" The princess came to his side and said with a smile.

Arthur was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly and vigorously.

"Will definitely be back!"

With a chuckle, Z16 flew out of the planet through the hole that the signal jammer had breached.
