Chapter 2: The Twins

1.

Zero came to the so-called summoning space, which was empty and white, and I didn't know if it was stepping on the ground or floating in the air. At the same time, I also found that the clothes on my body were missing, and it seems that the summoning space can't get things in the real world in, otherwise, it can be used as a storage space.

I used to complain about the unscientific zero of the naked drifting shots in the animation, and I also experienced the feeling of naked drifting.

After losing the restraint of gravity, even the basic sense of direction of going up, down, left and right is gone. There is no reference around, and I don't know if I am at rest or in a state of uniform linear motion, and Newton's laws are completely useless here.

If you're in a daze, it still feels good. But after looking at the cookie-cutter scenery around me for a long time, Zero began to get bored. I don't know when Ai Xue will summon herself again, so she can just sleep comfortably.

So, Zero gradually fell asleep.

At the same time, Ai Xue said goodbye to Teacher Rhine and quietly returned to her dormitory, as if she had a feeling of being a thief.

Luckily, just like the last time I got the clothes for Zero, Lena and the others weren't there.

Mr. Rhine's basic magic course is a public course for freshmen in the Department of Magic, and there are only two classes in total. Now, Karen should be taking a theoretical foundation class in the swordsmanship class, and Lena is probably going to try out the elemental magic introductory classes of different departments. Classes in the science department will not be available in a few days, and the whereabouts of Icarus will not be clear.

After opening her closet, Ai Xue was a little troubled.

Ai Xue only has two sets of clothes in her wardrobe that are suitable for this season. Counting the school uniforms he wears, there are only three of them. And one of them has already been damaged in the ability test against zero.

You can't wear winter clothes, Ai Xue imagined the scene of Zero standing in the academy in thick winter clothes, and then being looked at by passers-by with the eyes of "this kid's head is really pitiful", and felt that he should give up this idea.

Go buy a new outfit, it's not good to always let Zero wear his own clothes.

The doors of the college are open at all times, and students here can come and go as long as they wear the uniforms issued by the college.

Ai Xue came to a very ordinary-looking clothing store, and the name of the shop was "Tailor". The shop is small and there aren't many styles of clothes, but the workmanship is good, and the key is that the price is cheap.

Long before the entrance exams, Ai Xue had been here. The shopkeeper's grandfather also likes a quiet but energetic child like Ai Xue, and after learning that Ai Xue can't speak, he is even more sympathetic, saying that he wants to give Ai Xue a few clothes, but Ai Xue decisively refuses at that time. Now that she thinks about it, Ai Xue, who doesn't have a lot of money, can only come here to ask for help.

The shopkeeper's grandfather was also very happy when he saw Ai Xue's school uniform, thinking that this hard-working child also had a good home.

Ai Xue took a fancy to a pure white dress with a price tag of 3 silver coins, this dress looked simple and generous, and it should match Zero's long silver hair and fair skin.

The shopkeeper didn't know that Ai Xue was choosing clothes for others, but he thought that Ai Xue looked good in it, so he wanted to give this dress to Ai Xue. However, under Ai Xue's repeated insistence, the shopkeeper still accepted the three silver coins.

Then Ai Xue returned to the dormitory again and silently recited the summoning spell:

Not a thing of this world

Not the thought of this life

Stubborn heart

Longing for freedom

Huh? No response? Ai Xue didn't pull Zero out of the summoning space.

Could it be that Mr. Rhine was wrong in his teachings, or was the summoning spell wrong?

Ai Xue was a little confused.

Maybe the latter part wasn't pronounced......

Ai Xue suddenly remembered, the spell seemed to be longer than she remembered, but those seemingly meaningless syllables couldn't be remembered anyway.

Forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Ai Xue plans to abandon the methods taught by Teacher Rhine and try new postures.

Come out, Zero!

No spells were used, but the method of summoning space with zero income was emulated. Vaguely, Ai Xue could feel the special connection between herself and Zero. Through guò thoughts, direct calling.

A small magic circle appeared at Ai Xue's feet, and a white hole appeared on Ai Xue's head.

Bang, Zero fell out of the white hole and smashed right on Ai Xue's body. Although for Ai Xue, Zero is very lightweight. But the location of Zero was completely unexpected by Ai Xue. Even if the weight of zero is not much heavier than an apple, a normal person will be at a loss when he is hit in the head by an apple.

Although Ai Xue caught Zero, her feet slipped and she fell to the ground.

Just then, the dormitories were opened......

"I'm sorry, I didn't see anything. Lena saw two people on the floor hugging each other, one of them was still a fruit, thought she had entered the wrong room, and turned around to leave

"Wait!" Zero (Ai Xue) said in an anxious voice.

Zero is hard to wake up when he's in a dormant state. Even if there was such a big movement, he couldn't wake up from his sleep, and thanks to this, Ai Xue was able to borrow Zero's body to speak without any obstacles.

"Lena, it's not what you think. Zero (Ai Xue) hurriedly explained.

The green-haired girl named Lena stopped and returned to her room.

"Huh, do you know me?" Lena looked curiously at the naked silver-haired girl, only to find that she had not opened her eyes, as if she were talking in a dream.

"It's me, I'm Ai Xue. ”

Although to Lena, the silver-haired girl seems to be talking in her sleep. But isn't the content of this dream talk a little weird?

Ai Xue got up from the ground and quickly moved Zero to her bed, then covered her body with a quilt, leaving only one head exposed.

Ai Xue used sign language to signal Lena to be silent, then pointed at herself, and then at Zero who was lying on the bed.

"The girl lying here now is called Zero, and she is my guardian. Now I'm borrowing her body to speak. ”

Ai Xue explained in a zero voice, changing different gestures to help Lena better understand what she was trying to say now. Ai Xue briefly recounted what had happened before, and explained the relationship between herself and Zero.

"I thought you got it from somewhere. Lena let out a sigh of relief, "I almost thought that our lovely Ai Xue had embarked on a path of no return to crime." ”

"Do you think I look like that......" Ai Xue was a little unhappy with Lina's statement.

"Hey, I'm just making reasonable assumptions. Seeing such a cute little sister, if it were me, maybe I would have taken it away. I'm sorry to treat others for myself. Lena apologized embarrassedly.

Ai Xue subconsciously took a step back. If Zero were still awake, he would have complained about Lena's dangerous remarks - police officer Shu Huang, it's her!

"You're really good, you just entered the school and fell under a terrible teacher. Lena couldn't help but sigh. She had also heard a lot of rumors about summoners, and it was a relatively rare branch of magicians. Many summoners are also part-time elemental mages, just like Mr. Rhein. After all, if you rely solely on summoned beasts to fight, the shortcomings of the summoner's weak body will be exposed.

It can be said that Ai Xue has no way to learn summoning alone, and she is already very content with this.

"If I hadn't learned summoning from Mr. Rhein, I wouldn't have been able to talk to you like this. ”

Having lost her voice due to illness at a young age, Ai Xue's life has become a little less colorful than that of an able-bodied person. If it weren't for the summoning of the girl Zero, I'm afraid Ai Xue wouldn't have had the opportunity to speak in her life. The pocket watch that I got by accident and the encounter with Zero may be the compensation that God gave to Ai Xue. So Ai Xue didn't care at all if she could learn other magic.

"By the way, you just went to buy her clothes. ”

"If you don't say it, I'll forget about it. ”

Ai Xue took out the white dress from the bag.

"It looks like he's still asleep. Why don't we put it on for her?" Lena looked at Zero lying on the bed, as if a child had seen a toy she wanted.

Although Lina's blazing gaze made Ai Xue a little scared, Ai Xue was also full of interest in Lina's mention.

Ai Xue directly fished Zero out of the bed, and Lena took advantage of the situation to put a set of clothes on Zero's body. The whole process took no more than 5 seconds to get Zero dressed.

The sleeping zero really looks like a doll, with delicate facial features, long silver hair, fair skin, and a set of pure white dresses, giving people a sense of unreality. Ai Xue placed Zero at the head of the bed and asked her to sit against the wall.

Ai Xue had never enjoyed the fun of changing clothes for a puppet, and now this is the first time, so after seeing Zero's appearance, a special sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.

Lena opened her cupboard, and the colorful color inside almost blinded Snow.

Now Ai Xue finally knows why Lena brought such a large chunk of luggage when she first came to the dormitory.

"This dress was my favorite before, but unfortunately I couldn't wear it after I grew taller, it was originally reserved for Xiao Aixue, and now it can finally come in handy in advance. ”

Ai Xue immediately understood Lina's intentions and put Zero up again.

2.

The "alarm clock" sounded, and Zero finally opened his hazy sleepy eyes.

Huh? This doesn't seem to be a summoning space.

Zero noticed that the surroundings were no longer pale, and the wall clock in front of him looked somewhat familiar.

This is Ai Xue's dormitory, why am I here?

Instead of drifting naked before falling asleep, Zero is now wearing a gothic loli-style maroon dress. Then she touched her head, which seemed to be wearing a strange hair ornament like a ribbon.

With no one around, Zero stepped out of bed and stepped barefoot on the wooden floor.

The dormitory door is locked, and you can't open it without a student ID.

Ai Xue should know something, Zero Ru thought about it, and planned to contact Ai Xue.

[Ai Xue, where are you?]

[Zero, are you awake?] Ai Xue asked rhetorically.

[yes, why did I show up in your dorm room?] Zero just wanted to quickly ask himself about his current situation.

[Well, I'll go back right away, don't move, just wait a while.] 】

Cut, mysterious.

Thinking of the clothes on his body, Zero had already guessed almost. It's nothing more than Ai Xue summoning her out when she was sleeping, and then fiddling with her as a humanoid hanger.

Anyway, it was also unconscious at that time, so let's toss with Ai Xue's temperament, and I didn't suffer any losses.

It seems that just like the unconscious state will automatically enter the "megaphone" mode, as long as you don't subconsciously resist, you can't resist Ai Xue's forced call, even if you are in a dormant state.

It didn't take long for Lena and Ai Xue to return to their room again.

"Put this on. Lena was holding a pair of brand-new little leather shoes in her hand.

Ai Xue hid behind Lina, looking very shy.

Zero found out that Ai Xue was wearing a gothic loli costume of the same style as herself. The dark blue long skirt is worn on the body, which has the temperament of an aristocratic girl, and at the same time, it also highlights Ai Xue's quiet temperament to the fullest. Unlike Zero's ribbon headgear, Ai Xue also has a blue bow tied on her head.

[What's the matter with your outfit?] Zero suddenly realized that the outfit on his body was probably not Ai Xue's masterpiece.

[That...... That is true. Ai Xue's answer was a bit fragmented, and it took a while to explain the reason for the matter. That is, after the two of them changed Zero into this gothic Loli outfit, they found that it did not match it and fit Zero's shoes. Lena offered to buy it at her own expense, but on the condition that Ai Xue would wear the same style of clothes and go shopping with her. Ai Xue, who was strapped for cash, fell under Lina's sugar-coated cannonball as a matter of course......

Zero was speechless about this, but if you think about it, girls of Ai Xue's age will be interested in clothes, shoes, or something.

Zero took the loot from Lina's hand and reluctantly put it on his feet.

Anyway, it's already Ai Xue's exclusive humanoid self-propelled loudspeaker, and Zero doesn't care about having another title of "humanoid hanger".

"Perfect!" Lena gave a high evaluation of Zero's outfit.

Zero ignored Lena and walked straight to Ai Xue's side.

"If you look closely, you two really look alike. Lena's gaze kept wandering between the two, "You two, hold your hands together, and face me, yes, yes, that's it." ”

Lena pulled out a dark green stone from her pocket and put it in front of her eyes. Hearing only the "click", the stone in Lena's hand had turned gray-black.

"This is the Shadow Stone!" exclaimed Zero (Ai Xue).

Zero hadn't seen anything like this, but just by hearing the name, he knew that it was supposed to be something like a disposable camera. Judging from the tone of Ai Xue's voice when she used her body to speak, it was a valuable thing.

Dead tyrant, I want to talk to you about life. Zero can't help but sigh, it's good to be rich.

That's not right, Lina, a girl from a blacksmith shop, where did she get so much money?

"Your weapons shop is doing well?" asked Zero in a whisper.

"It's okay, although there are not as many master-made masterpieces as 'Twilight', but occasionally you can still make swords worth hundreds of gold coins. ”

A sword can be sold for hundreds of gold coins!

Once again, Zero realizes that common sense on Earth doesn't work here. It seems that the blacksmith, or blacksmith, in this world seems to be a very powerful profession.

Lena carefully placed the gemstone in an opaque box and put it away. If you want to make a photo of it, you need some professional processing, and you have to take it to the magic item shop to do it.

The clothes were tried on, the photos were taken, and Lena's wish was fulfilled. Zero Poop mentions yì and changes out the gothic loli on her body. One is that this kind of clothing is not very convenient to move, and I always feel constrained, and the other is that this dress looks quite expensive, although Lena has repeatedly emphasized that she can give these two clothes to Zero and Ai Xue, but Zero still feels embarrassed, and it is just a matter of talking about being a friend or something.

It took a long time to take off this dress, and then put on the white dress that Ai Xue had just bought, and suddenly felt a lot more refreshed.

"I think if Ai Xue can keep her hair longer and pay more attention to maintenance, she should be more beautiful. You'll be more like twins then. Lena analyzed sharply.

Zero agrees with this. Perhaps because she didn't have the money to take care of it, Ai Xue's hair didn't look good, not as smooth and shiny as Zero's long hair. There are no things as convenient as shampoos and conditioners in this world, so it may take a little more thought and money to take care of long hair.

Ai Xue shook her head and laughed at it, and Lena didn't want to say anything more.

Meanwhile, Zero is thinking about something else. Lina's words reminded her that except for the difference in hair and pupil color, Zero's appearance and body shape can be said to be almost the same as Ai Xue. As a pocket watch, he was picked up by Ike and finally came to Ai Xue's side, which is too unusual if it is considered purely as an accident. Fate is like a pair of big hands, tying the karma of the two together. From the moment Ai Xue summoned Zero as an entity, they were already the twins of fate.

Thinking about it this way, does it feel like a king?

3.

It was almost time for dinner, and Karene finally dragged her tired body back to the dormitory. The high-intensity physical fitness test allows the teacher to clearly understand the differences in ability between each student, but it also makes each student who takes the test miserable. Maybe it's because the placement assessment is approaching, and the teachers want to give the students a little nervousness.

However, after Karen discovered the existence of zero, she was as radiant as Columbus discovered the New World.

"Where did you get this Lori!!," Karen threw Zero on the bed with lightning speed.

At that moment, Ai Xue finally remembered the horror of being once dominated by Kalian, and the humiliation of being imprisoned in the iron arm.

Although Zero was constantly calling for help, Ai Xue said that she couldn't help it, but she looked a little gloating. The appearance of Zero, instead of Ai Xue, has become the new generation of "Moe Value Responsibility" in the dormitory, perfectly attracting all of Kalian's offensive.

Ai Xue smiled and said nothing, and Zero also saw Ai Xue's black belly attribute because of this.

"Foul foul, little zero zero is man's best friend, how can you be left alone. Lena joins Kalian's queue.

After the humanoid self-propelled loudspeaker and the humanoid hanger, do you still have to bear the heavy title of "man's best friend"......

"I'm not a glass fairy, don't treat me like a pet!" Zero protested loudly.

"The protest is not effective!" the two women had no intention of stopping.

When Karen and Lena were tired of playing, Icarus returned to the dormitory, and his handbag was full of books of different sizes, which looked very heavy, these must have been the trophies that Icarus brought back from the library.

The four of them had already made an appointment to go to dinner together, so they waited until Icarus returned.

Only then did Ai Xue realize that she had been busy all day, and she hadn't even had time to eat lunch, and her chest was already hungry against her back.

On the way to the cafeteria, the group of 4 attracted the attention of countless boys. Nowhere is it more conspicuous than Icarus. However, perhaps he is accustomed to it, and Icarus's attitude can be described as pampered.

As the saying goes, turnip and cabbage have their own love. Although under the light of Icarus, Ai Xue and the others are not first-class beauties, but Ai Xue is petite and cute, Lena is young and beautiful, and Karen is heroic. The four people are side by side, forming a beautiful landscape.

As for Zero, she has been tortured by Karen and Lena to the point where she can't move. Ai Xue thought to herself, she didn't need to eat anyway, so she simply left Zero alone in the dormitory.

Since Zero was not around, Ai Xue could not speak, so Lena relayed the origin of Zero to Karene and Icarus.

After dinner, everyone returned to the dormitory early to avoid the eager eyes of the boys.

After seeing Ai Xue come back, Zero took the initiative to ask to enter the summoning space. Although it was empty, it was absolutely safe.

If you continue to stay in the dormitory at night, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be grabbed by Karen or Lena as a pillow, and you will still sleep soundly in the summoning space.

However, in order to avoid the recurrence of the situation in the afternoon, Zero and Ai Xue agreed to confirm whether she was awake before summoning herself. Ai Xue agreed. Then, Zero went to sleep with peace of mind.

However, in the face of the coercion and temptation of Karene and Lena, Ai Xue was forced to sign the unequal treaty of "Guidelines for the Use of Zero Pillow" without her knowledge.

The treaty stipulates that the ownership of the zero pillow belongs to Ai Xue, and the right to use it belongs to Karen and Lina, each of whom has one day and uses it at intervals.

I'm sorry. Ai Xue was silent in her heart, and then broke the agreement and pulled Zero, who had entered a dormant state, out of the summoning space.

Karen and Lena continue to play dress-up, dressing up Zero in various clothes and taking a photo. In just one night, Lena used up all the Shadow Stones. According to the agreement, Karen fell asleep with Zero in her arms today.

Icarus, on the other hand, read a book all night without distraction.

Ai Xue was also tired from a day's work, and she fell asleep not long after lying in bed.

Early the next morning.

", Ai Xue, you count me!" Zero found himself in a steel cage formed by Kalian's arms, and wanted to cry without tears.
