Endless Silver Machine

Misty never left this room during the two days she spent on the aviation magic ship "Yuktrashil".

The room has all the living facilities, and three meals will be delivered to the door of the room on time. Misty did not refuse the "charity" from the enemy.

Because she wants to live. I had never thought about such a thing before, no matter how dangerous it was, I did it without any hesitation, and I never felt afraid of life or death.

It wasn't until Will left that Misty recalled the loneliness she had almost forgotten. Before Ver comes back, she wants to live, and live with Ver's share.

Misty hugged her knees and sat beside the bed where Ver was sleeping, leaning her head against the window sill. Her eyes reflected the same scenery that Aika and Ling saw.

The empty beauty was so imaginative that it reminded her of the time when she first entered the Nemesis Society——

…………

Because she was a six-winged elf, Misty's family had already been separated from the elves before she came to this world. The family experienced many hardships during the migration, and finally began to fall apart from within and became a family in name only.

The time when Misty had the memory happened to be the day her mother passed away. Her mother's appearance was the first memory that stayed in Misty's mind.

As time goes by, my mother's appearance has gradually become veiled.

She inherited the magic costume "Star Bow·Five Emperors One" along her mother's bloodline, and in order to survive, she joined the exiled local mixed-race mercenary group that was famous in the sense of "evil".

The ability of the magic suit "Star Bow·Five Emperors One" helped her to show off her skills in the mercenary group, which gave her a living space. At the same time, the information about her was spread to the Nemesis Society, which was actively hunting the magic suit. among.

One day, the notorious mercenary group was completely destroyed by just two people. The opponent was a tall man in white and a woman in cheongsam. The mercenary group, known for its ferocious fighting power, was completely defeated in less than ten minutes.

Misty was the only one who survived in that mercenary group. It was not because she could compete with those two people with the power of the magic weapon "Star Bow·Five Emperors' Throne One", but because those two people let her go.

——As for the elves, they have nothing to do with us, so there is no need to pursue them to the end. If you come here, it should be much better than living in a place like this garbage dump. I really don’t know how a kid like you can survive in a place like this until now. Without the magic costume, he would probably have suffered the same fate as those who were burned, killed, and looted by them.

——So, are you interested in using your power for us?

Having tried her best to resist until the last moment, Misty had no room for rejection and accepted their persuasion without thinking.

…………

After that, Misty was admitted into the Nemesis Society. She has not been unfairly treated as a "prisoner of war", and there is no concept of "prisoner of war" in the Nemesis Society. As long as she joins, she is a comrade with the same aspirations.

After Misty entered this weird association, she only contributed the power of the magic costume. Other than that, she did not open her heart to anything here.

"The little girl you picked up from outside is already broken-hearted, right?"

In the antique mansion, Lilicia confirmed this to Vail.

"How many of the people here right now are still heartbroken?"

There was no real meaning in the raised corner of Will's mouth, and Lilicia didn't expect to read his true meaning.

She has no interest in understanding what a crazy person really wants to express, that is a pointless approach. Lilicia only had to interpret his words according to her own understanding.

It was Veer's suggestion to take Misty in. As long as the person being hunted is not a prince or aristocrat who has committed the most heinous crimes in the Bis Empire, he will not drive them out and kill them all.

He seemed to see through the meaning of Misty's existence at a glance. For a young girl like her who had nothing more to do than survive, this approach would allow her to keep her magical equipment as a reserve for her plans, while also utilizing her power.

"Perhaps she has long given up on living in this world as a life, and just trades herself as an object, using her own value in exchange for the means of survival." Will has seen many children like Misty, "Otherwise If so, she doesn’t have to give up her self-esteem and listen to our requests. Accepting our requests without even equal exchange conditions is just a sign of insensitivity."

"This is completely unlikable." Lilicia began to regret assigning the little girl to her group. "Although we are indeed not a serious organization, we are not criminals engaged in human trafficking. Now that you are here with us, you should at least be able to communicate normally."

"It's rare to hear you say such humane words, eldest sister."

"You were the one who first proposed to recruit her, weren't you already fascinated by her?"

"I just think that if she still has a future, at least she doesn't have to be buried there forever." Weir said this, unable to see the darkness in his heart at all. "She probably hasn't made a clear distinction between that garbage dump-like place and Who is the real darkness among us?"

"Anyway, since you brought her in and the people above didn't say anything, I'll arrange for you to be responsible for taking care of her." Lilicia waved her hand, saying that she didn't want to worry about this matter anymore, "If she really wants to To live a normal life, at least there must be a purpose other than 'living'. Living has no such purpose, it is just a puppet on strings. In that case, she will be a hidden danger to us. As long as we come up with similar conditions, She could be turned against at any time by people like us.”

"Sister, you may have misunderstood something. I have no experience in taking care of children."

"Excuse me, do you think I would?"

Lilicia replied to Weir unceremoniously. Since it was an order from a superior, Weir had no choice but to accept it.

"There happens to be nothing to do, so just think of it as a pastime."

…………

Misty will still eat well every day and maintain the minimum necessities of life, but will not do anything else.

Of course, I haven’t communicated with anyone.

Veer walked directly into Misty's room without saying hello. Because he couldn't get a response even if he greeted her, Will simply gave up and asked for trouble.

"It's been almost a month since you've been here. Are you adapting to life here, Misty?"

Will tried to strike up a conversation with Misty, who had still not established communication for a month, but of course he didn't get a response.

Misty sat in the corner of the bed with her knees folded, shrouded in the shadow of the wall. She didn't even raise her head when Will came in and spoke, just facing Will who took her in with silence.

No one knows what Misty thinks about every day.

Maybe she didn't think about anything, just watched the morning sun rise slowly and the sunset gradually set, to count the time.

Now he probably won’t resist no matter what he does to her... Will thought.

Even if she is allowed to die in pain, she will think that is the fate of the traded object.

"Sister, I have an order. You will follow me from now on."

no answer. Weir only knew that she was awake and should have listened to what he said.

Continuing to stay here could only kill time, and even killing time became extremely difficult, so Veer chose to leave her room.

…………

After that, the Nemesis Society did not take action for the time being, so Will did not receive any tasks that required him to take Misty out.

Naturally, the opportunity to communicate with Misty was lost. However, in order to fulfill Lilicia's arrangement requirements, Will still went to Misty's room every three to five days to "trouble" her.

——Did you have a good meal today?

——I haven’t had much work recently. If you’re in the mood, I can take you for a walk on the street.

——The outside of this mansion used to be a human country, but because of the war, only their capital remained. But now I have everything I need, at least there are some interesting things.

It is true that Will, as he said before, comes to "annoy" Misty every day just for fun.

He said he was going to take Misty to wander the streets of the capital of Setia Principality, but in fact he didn't hold much hope in his heart. If Misty didn't have such a wish, even if she took her out forcefully, she would just be asking for trouble.

Now all Vere can do is chat with the doll-like Misty. Maybe one day she will be interested in what he says on a sudden whim.
