"Sister brought a new sister home. Did she break up with Sister Vivian?"

"Pfft..." Alice's composure was completely lost. "That's not the case! Why would we break up? No, no... Leah! Did you show your sisters weird things again?!"

Alice pulled out her wand and flicked it slightly, and a book flew out from under her sister Leah's skirt.

"Wow! Sister, please steal my book!" Leah's little sister stood on tiptoe and waved her chubby little hands, but ultimately failed to catch the flying book.

Alice grabbed the book, glanced at the cover, and her face darkened.

Xing Mo took a closer look and found that the book was called "The Sea of ​​Flowers is Always Blooming"...

Wait a minute, isn't this the yuri novel that Aurora reads...?

Alice opened the book, glanced at it quickly, and when she looked at Leah again, her eyes suddenly became less friendly.

Facing her sister who was about to get angry, Leah stuck out her tongue embarrassedly:

“It’s very sweet~”

Alice took a deep breath, suppressed her urge to complain, and put the book on the table.

Then, she said to her three sisters earnestly:

"Children can't watch this, okay? Love between girls is very normal, but you are still too young to be exposed to it..."

"Then can I marry my sister when I grow up?" The younger sister named Mia suddenly raised her hand.

"Obviously not, we are sisters." Alice shook her head.

"But we all like my sister very much..."

"That won't work either..."

"Woo woo, we need to share my sister among the three of us..."

"No."

"..."

The maids and butlers beside them all laughed out loud. Seeing Alice seriously educating her sister and the three little girls who knowingly did it anyway, the atmosphere in the dining room suddenly became much warmer.

Feeling this atmosphere, Xingmo's mouth corners slightly curved up, and her heart felt warm.

It's so beautiful... Family...

For some reason, she suddenly thought of Aurora at this moment - that guy also liked to read strange novels, and then he would cling to her and shake her like a little animal that she couldn't get rid of.

What does this feel like...?

......

"Huh~ it's done!"

In the port area, Aurora clapped her hands and looked at the environment in front of her with satisfaction.

She was in a room converted from a small factory, with basic furniture and a simple little bookshelf.

The environment is neither too good nor too bad.

"Are you sure no one comes here normally?" Aurora turned her head.

"No," Alia nodded, "the birds used to like sleeping here and were never driven away."

"Alright! Give the birds that provided the information a living allowance! Tell them to buy more milk to drink, so they don't delay their growth!"

Aurora waved her hand and began to stretch her muscles.

After Alia left the room, she reached out and casually tore a hole in space.

"Paji."

Elmo fell out of the space crack and landed limply on the ground, his eyes blurred and his tongue hanging out.

Her body twitched from time to time, and she looked almost dead.

"Are you alright, Miss Library Spirit?"

Aurora squatted down with a smile and patted Elmo's wet face:

"It's been a week, are you having a good time?"

"Gu..." Ai Ermo twitched, and his eyes regained some focus, "It feels so good... no... you..."

The blue-haired girl raised her head with difficulty, her eyes filled with resentment.

"You damn..."

"Don't scold me, don't scold me," Aurora lifted Elmo's chin, "She's so cute, how can you scold her?"

"Gulu..."

Elmo's legs twitched again, and the expression on his face was between disgust and shyness.

"What are you going to do..." she asked through gritted teeth.

"Be my librarian. We need an informant at Nefera Beta Magic Academy." Aurora said.

“You’re dreaming…!”

"Bye then!" Aurora smiled brightly.

Several tentacles stretched out from the void, wrapped around Elmo's feet and pulled her back.

Elmo screamed almost immediately:

"No...don't! I...I..."

Her body trembled slightly, as if she was recalling a particularly bad memory.

"..."

Aurora stopped the movement of the vines and gave Elmo a questioning look.

Elmo seemed to have made up his mind, and then he whispered:

"Can...can you let me think about it...I..."

"Bye~"

Aurora waved her hand, and vines emerged from all directions, binding Elmo tightly.

"Woo——————"

A miserable sound came from the cocoon made of vines, which made Aurora feel happy.

"Well, I'll leave you here from now on. I'll give you two hours of rest every day. I'll come back next week to ask if you agree."

Aurora clapped her hands, then opened the door and locked it.

Then, she began to reflect on the information she had just obtained from Elmo's mind - a piece of information about the conditions required to enter "Merlin's Superstring Array".

"...Two six-stringed 'Saints'? The little Saint seems to have a five-stringed one..."

Aurora muttered and sighed:

"We have to help her become stronger..."

At this moment, a low roar of thunder was heard from the clouds. Aurora looked up and saw dense raindrops falling from the sky. The raindrops hit the stone bricks of the port area, and the splashing rain mist immediately covered the little girl.

But she was too lazy to hold an umbrella. She just walked as if nothing had happened, singing a song she had composed as she walked in the rain.

"La la la~"

......

"Crash..."

As the meal was coming to an end, it started to rain outside. The raindrops hit the glass windows, making the atmosphere in the banquet hall even warmer.

Seeing that the meal was almost finished, Alice waved her hand, and the old butler at the table stood up and walked to her side respectfully.

"What's the matter, miss?"

Alice wiped her mouth with her handkerchief and asked calmly:

"What's the status of the Stardust? If I remember correctly, it should be ready for a test flight."

"In fact, the test flight was completed last week," the old butler bowed slightly, "you were busy at that time."

"Oh? No one told me..." Alice's eyes moved slightly.

"My mother told us not to tell you, saying you would definitely make a lot of comments."

Hearing the butler's words, Alice suddenly smiled calmly.

She glanced at Xing Mo beside her and immediately ordered:

"Let's get ready now. We'll fly again this afternoon. It's starting to rain outside, so let's test the performance."

"I understand." The old butler bowed slightly and immediately went to give orders.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xingmo couldn't help but ponder.

"Stardust"? Is that the steamship that Senior mentioned?

Before Xingmo could ask, Alice began to explain:

"Previously, the 'Sea Tide Church' planned to borrow a steamship from our family to capture the suspects on the 'Humpback Whale'..."

"...Now it's even better. Since Prince Austin is also on that whaling ship, we can just capture him all at once."

After all these words, Xing Mo grasped only one key point:

Borrow a boat from our family.

She suppressed the urge to complain and said:

"Hasn't the Church any steam-powered airships?"

"Yes, they do, but most of the steam airships in the city are used for transportation. As for the inter-ocean transport industry chain...who controls it?"

"In the hands of Prince Austin." Xing Mo sighed.

Yes, most of the "steam airships" in the Academy belong to Prince Austin. That cunning guy must have left his own connections among them. Who knows if something will go wrong.

At this time, it is best to borrow from acquaintances.

For example, the Pukhit family.

"Besides, those steam airships are basically just transport boats, and their performance is pretty average," Alice shook her head. "Simply put, they're just not powerful enough."

"What power?" Xing Mo was confused.

Alice smiled slightly.

"Firepower."

......

Two hours later, Xingmo followed Alice to the backyard of the mansion, walked along the rain shelter corridor around the courtyard, and came to a facility similar to a bunker.

After entering the bunker, everything around became gloomy and damp, with only the light of gas lamps illuminating the way, flickering.

After walking down the stairs for two minutes, everything around him suddenly became bright. Xing Mo felt as if he had suddenly entered a huge space, and a faint steam had been lingering around him without him noticing.

"Here we are."

Alice snapped her fingers, and rows of lights came on one by one, illuminating the huge underground cavity and outlining the object at the center of the cavity.

It was a massive steamship, its bronze metal frame forming an oval sphere, enclosing the balloon within. Fin-shaped metal sails were densely arranged around the balloon, spewing puffs of steam with each slight movement.

Directly below the balloon is a hull about the size of a whaling ship, with herringbone-shaped sails also spread around the hull, but there are fewer of them and they are smaller in shape.

Between the sails, Xingmo saw metal cylinders extending from the hull.

She was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was a cannon!

Two full rows of air-to-ground artillery!

......

8) At the end of September with the autumn breeze (Part 3) -5k-

Is this... too exaggerated...

Xing Mo stared blankly at the scene - before, she had only seen the kind of cannons on three-masted sailing ships. Although there were larger ones, she had never seen one this big.
