We moved to Golden Courtyard

"You...recognized me?"

"I recognized you the moment you looked up at me, conductor sister. After all, only you can smile so wide that your eyes squint."

Neither magicians nor gourmets would do that.

Vervi turned her head away haughtily, "You remember all their names so clearly."

"You were the one who told me about their existence, how could I not remember?"

"Whee!"

Holding Xu Qi's arms tighter, the conductor greedily savored Xu Qi's warmth and scent, a sense of infatuation rising in his heart.

My fondness for Xu Qi did not fade as I shut myself away for a long time.

On the contrary, it is like a bottle of aged wine, becoming more and more mellow and rich.

"Why were you released? After all, you were the magician sister for a long time before."

Now that the conductor has appeared, there's no need to worry about Virvi having any emotional outbursts. During the initial period after arriving at the courtyard, this was the personality she had the most contact with.

The two strolled through the amusement park, reminiscing as they walked.

"What do you mean by 'release'? You're making me sound like a prisoner. I've locked myself away."

"Closed off? Why?"

Because I've realized I've fallen for you, and I'm worried that my choices will affect the whole of Vilvie, I've shut myself off—I just can't bring myself to say that...

"...Don't worry about the reasons! Anyway, I've figured some things out a bit recently, and...hehe~~I also have to thank you, right? That's why I can come out so carefree."

Xu Qi pointed to himself in confusion—"Me?"

"Yeah~~"

The conductor smiled again – “Because you’ve won over most of the still conscious Virvi, it’s only natural that I can be with you now.”

You shouldn't say things like that...

"Alright, now that we finally meet again, is this all you're going to talk about?"

Xu Qi looked at Vervi with a strange expression—of course not, or rather, I came to find you with a mission, but…

Are the people associated with that person experts?

You can't exactly say, "I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see an expert."

The conductor would be so disappointed... No, I can't bear it, after all, he's a conductor.

The first person to contact Xu Qi was Wei Erwei.

Perhaps sensing Xu Qi's inner turmoil, Wilvi, still holding Xu Qi's arm, put a finger to her lips and said with a mischievous smile, "You're thinking about me, aren't you..."

"Conductor..."

"Just call me Wilvi, after all, whoever you are, you are still Wilvi."

"Hmm...it's nothing, Sister Velvi. Since we're at an amusement park, how about...we accompany you around for a bit? It'll also be a way to celebrate your return."

Xu Qi felt that since he had finally met the conductor, he should definitely be happy.

As for the professor... at worst, we can just knock her unconscious on her birthday!

"Hmph! Alright, I can tell you're distracted. It's about the experts and Mebius, isn't it? I may not be out here, but that doesn't mean I don't know what's going on outside."

Xu Qi scratched his head, realizing he'd been found out...

"Spend some time with me, okay? It's been so long since we last met, I really—miss you so much, Xu Qi."

The sincere words touched Xu Qi's heart.

Xu Qi kept quiet because he didn't want to disappoint those expectations.

“Of course, and... I miss you very much, Miss Velvet.”

735. To like one is to like all of them.

The joy in one's heart would probably leap out immediately after Xu Qi said, "I miss you too."

Of course, even if a conductor isn't as calm as an expert, they wouldn't act like a little girl.

After thinking it over, he suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Xu Qi on the cheek.

"!"

"After that, it's up to you and the expert. She should be able to calm down now, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Just talk to her nicely, and she'll listen."

Let's accept it that way then.

Xu Qi carefully examined Vervi, and suddenly laughed.

"You've become bolder than before in the past six months."

"dislike?"

"No, not really... but do you know how I found you?"

Vervi looked confident.

"I still know that."

"Are you sure?" Xu Qi hesitated for a moment, then said proactively, "It wasn't Dr. Mei who helped."

“I know, it’s Professor Möbius… If there’s anyone in the world who can find me when I’m determined to hide, it’s only Möbius.”

Xu Qi's mouth was half open, unsure of where to begin.

"She is the only person in this world who understands me... Doesn't that feel ironic? After all, only monsters can understand monsters."

With her arm around Xu Qi's, Vervi's expression remained calm as she spoke about these things.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pointed to the roller coaster in the distance.

"Want to go out and have some fun?"

Xu Qi gave him a doting smile—he could pilot a Haiwei with a power output of 30G, so roller coasters were indeed too childish in his eyes.

Even though this roller coaster has a 90° vertical track.

"Okay, I'm sure I'll be fine with anything."

As people queued up, many couldn't help but glance at Xu Qi and Wei Erwei – such a handsome man and a beautiful woman together is not something you see every day.

Of course, fewer people are watching Xu Qi; most are watching Wei Erwei.

"You and the professor don't usually go out, so you've probably never seen anything like this before."

“It’s alright, it was pretty much the same when I performed magic before, but what can we do?” Velvi stared straight at Xu Qi.

"After all, my eyes can only hold one person at a time."

Xu Qi felt a little awkward and tried to pull his hand back, but then Wilvi immediately hugged him even tighter. This time, he could better appreciate the other's softness and grace.

"What?" Vervi's eyes were full of amusement. "Can't take it anymore?"

It must be said that although the conductor's personality has a strong girlish feel, she is also proactive enough. Coupled with Vervier's own strong assets, Xu Qi would have a hard time resisting her.

"Sister Wilvi, I'm quite the womanizer."

"Just talking big doesn't count."

"I'm not just talking nonsense! You know, it's not just Mei and Airi, there are... many other people..."

Vervi's eyes were full of smiles.

"So... am I included?"

We can't talk today.

Xu Qi suddenly realized that perhaps it wasn't that Wilvi really wanted to ride the roller coaster, but rather that there were enough people queuing for it and the line was long enough.

This way... she would have plenty of time to tease Xu Qi.

They're so calculating, you can practically hear the beads clicking.

Having finally boarded the roller coaster, just as Xu Qi had expected, the speed and weightlessness had absolutely no effect on him, or even on Wilvie.

Once the two were no longer pressed together, Wilvi even had the leisure to flirt with Xu Qi.

"Are you already missing your sister's body? It's okay, you can hug me again after we get off the roller coaster."

Who is hugging whom?

However, Xu Qi couldn't bring himself to dislike Verviel in this state.

After all, that's how it's always been; once conductor Vervies gets involved, it's usually endless. But back then, she never actually laid a hand on you.

Perhaps he's still held back by a girl's reserve? Or perhaps... he hasn't figured out his own feelings yet.

On the roller coaster, Xu Qi reached out and grasped Wilvi's small hand, their fingers intertwined and tightly connected.

Vervi was taken aback; she seemed never to have imagined that she would be the one to be counterattacked by Xu Qi.

Based on past experience, Xu Qi would be too annoyed to bother her, let alone actively seek her out again.

"You used to always pester me to have fun, either by performing magic tricks, experimenting with all sorts of gadgets, or just chatting."

At that time, you might have thought I found you annoying, but I didn't really find you annoying—it's just that the longer I spent with you, the more I found myself starting to care about you more and more uncontrollably.

Back then, Mei was all I could think about; I never considered becoming a jerk.

……

My heart suddenly started pounding; could it be because of a roller coaster?

Of course not. Even the screams of the passengers had almost faded away from Wilvi's ears, leaving only Xu Qi's words.

After riding the roller coaster, Vivi was clearly a little out of sorts.

She didn't take the initiative to hug Xu Qi again, but this time, it was Xu Qi who took the initiative to hold Wilvi's hand.

"Continue? This is our date."

A date at the amusement park...

Vervier composed herself and tried her best to calm her emotions.

They played for a long time afterward. What seemed exciting to others was probably as easy as riding a carousel for them.

It is because of each other that we can feel so at ease.

As the sun set and the amusement park gradually quieted down, becoming less noisy than during the day, Xu Qi took Wilvi's hand and found a bench to sit down.

"happy?"

The conductor, who always smiles and squints, was now squinting, his whole being radiating joy.

"It's been a long time... since I've played with you like this."

As she said this, her smile gradually faded, and Vilvi's gentle gaze fell on the two hands that were still clasped together. She said, "You don't want to let go."

Or perhaps... you're going to express something to me?

“Vilvie, there are some things… I can’t say to the experts, but I can say to you.” Xu Qi turned his head and met Wilvie’s affectionate gaze.

"I've always liked you, but I never dared to express my feelings. Later, I finally had the courage to tell you, but then you disappeared."

So I might have almost... missed you, Velvet.

……

"Is it me who you like?"

The conductor gently smoothed Xu Qi's slightly disheveled hair, which had been messy all day, and smiled.

"The magician was already calling out, saying she helped you create the Moonlight System and repair Heavi, but you don't like her?"

"Huh? But...no, you're all Vervies?" Xu Qi immediately panicked. "If I like one, then naturally I...like...all of them..."

736. Eight Virvies, you've started a harem, haven't you?
