The nurse covered her lips and smiled charmingly, which made me feel suffocated. However, Teacher Touko remained unmoved. He ate his dinner calmly, rolled his eyes and said:
"Ryougi, is it fun for you to deceive a little girl like this?"
"Hmph, I find it very interesting~"
The nurse snorted, which made me stunned.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the nurse lift her blond hair, and in an instant, it turned into black hair like night, and her temperament also changed to a noble and unusual one, like a mysterious and noble Princess.
It turns out... I have been teased by the nurse lady... no, I should say this Princess.
"——My Princess, as long as you are happy."
Teacher Touko smiled softly, then turned to me and said, "Lorona, after eating, let's go see your results. I am very interested in the Gundam you made."
"Yes, Teacher Touko!"
Hearing this, I responded happily and accelerated my eating speed.
Although I don't know where Teacher Touko learned that I was researching Gundam, but a big shot like Teacher Touko should have some special information channels, so I don't need to dwell on these irrelevant thoughts.
There is only one thing I have to do now, and that is to seize the opportunity to show the results to Teacher Touko.
******
In a remote corner of London.
In front of a tightly closed warehouse.
"Teacher Touko, this is it."
I pointed to the closed door, then trotted over to open the door, and quickly turned on the lights in the warehouse, illuminating everything in the warehouse clearly.
"I see, this is the Gundam you built."
Teacher Touko walked into the warehouse and stared at me building the Gundam.
It was a creation that only appeared in science fiction comics. It was a tactical humanoid created from steel and machinery. The tall steel body had strong oppressive power just by standing there. It was hard to imagine how terrifying and destructive it would be when it moved.
However, this is just a performance.
"... Yes, this is the Gundam I built."
I replied with some trepidation.
"Can it be driven?"
Teacher Touko asked me.
"I also want to see what it looks like when it moves."
Altrouge's scarlet eyes were full of curiosity. He looked up at this huge steel creation and silently evaluated this Gundam creation. He felt that this thing was a bit flashy and a bit thankless.
"You can still move."
Lorona took a breath, and then chanted a bar Magecraft. Then, Gundam opened his chest, revealing the cab for human operation.
"I'll give it a try."
Seeing this scene, Aozaki Touko showed an expectant smile and entered the cockpit with a slight jump. After casually scanning the equipment in the cockpit, Lorona started to control this huge humanoid mecha without even explaining it.
---tread!
The heavy mecha took a step forward, causing smoke and dust to fly from the ground. Then it slowly moved its body, moving every joint, and the mecha's movements became smooth at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This... such a terrifying rate of progress!"
Seeing this scene, Lorona felt a little unbelievable. Although she knew that Teacher Touko was an undoubted genius, it was simply incomprehensible that he was able to masterfully control a complex mecha in less than ten minutes without anyone teaching him.
You know, even she, the person who makes the mecha, can barely move the mecha stiffly.
"This is not difficult. Touko's learning speed is not within the normal range."
Altrouge glanced at the surprised girl and explained with a chuckle, "If it weren't for Touko who is now at the pinnacle of the magic path and has to walk the rest of the way by herself, based on her learning speed and strength, she would probably be renovated every day."
"... Is this Grand?"
Lorona seems to understand something clearly. Beings like Teacher Touko who can surpass Magecraft through the efforts of generations of masters and families just by relying on their own efforts cannot be treated according to common sense.
"Although it can't be used in actual combat... but it's quite fun."
The moving mecha stopped, Aozaki Touko opened the cockpit and jumped out, walked to Lorona and said with a smile, "You have done a very good job to be able to achieve this level in such a short time."
"Thank you Teacher Touko~"
Hearing this answer, Lorona breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Altrouge frowned and asked curiously, "Touko, why do you like to play with this kind of thing? It doesn't seem to have much practical value?"
"Because he's handsome,"
Aozaki Touko replied confidently, "I don't need the Gundam to have much practical value, as long as it is handsome enough, I don't need to fight anyway."
That's right, she didn't really plan to develop something like the Battle Gundam. Her real purpose was actually to fulfill her childhood dream in her previous life and want to pilot a super giant robot.
"... Really?"
Altrouge blinked, feeling a little unable to understand Touko's thoughts. However, she planned to experience the charm of the mecha personally and wanted to see why Touko liked this thing so much.
"Be careful, don't collapse the warehouse."
Touko said to Altrouge who jumped into the cockpit.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Altrouge waved her hand and then closed the driver's seat. It was obvious that she also planned to skip the learning operation stage and directly operate the mecha.
The next moment.
"Boom!"
This huge steel mecha took one step before it fell down with a crash, hitting the concrete floor of the warehouse hard, cracking the cement floor directly.
"...Ryougi, are you okay?"
Aozaki Touko suppressed a smile and asked Altrouge inside the mecha.
On the side, Lorona showed a painful expression. Seeing the mecha he made hit the ground heavily, he felt his heart trembling.
"I'm fine, I'm just not used to it."

Chapter 128 Future Vision, Teacher Touko definitely has it
London.
In a warehouse in a remote corner.
"..."
I stared blankly at the walls of the warehouse, which were covered with runes for strengthening. This warehouse, which was about to be abandoned, had been strengthened to the point where it could be used by mechas.
And this effect is that Teacher Touko has not gone through any preparation, nor has any Magecraft Mystic Code been used, nor has multiple people cooperated in casting spells.
Countless runes simply spread out from under his feet, strengthening the dilapidated warehouse into a temple.
(Teacher Touko can achieve it by itself. Can multiple Magecraft masters work together to cast spells?)
With this in mind, I turned my eyes to Teacher Touko and saw Teacher Touko looking at him with great interest. Altrouge His Highness drives the mecha as if he is enjoying an interesting comedy.
"Teacher Touko, do you like the Gundam I built?"
I hesitated for a while and asked with some apprehension.
On the surface, Teacher Touko is in a very good mood now. This is the best time for me to recommend myself, and it is also the time with the highest success rate. However, when deciding on the future, I still feel uncontrollable nervousness.
"Hmm... I feel like I quite like it."
Hearing my anxious question, Touko showed a very gentle smile, "In such a short period of time, you were able to do something to this extent. Lorona, you are worthy of the name of genius alchemy."
—— was praised.
I turned my head shyly and replied softly, "Compared to people like me, genius is more suitable to describe Teacher Touko. There should be few people in this world who are more talented than Teacher Touko."
Although it sounds like flattery, this is what I say sincerely, because my blond friend often brags about Teacher Touko, and I have a fairly comprehensive understanding of Teacher Touko's glorious deeds.
Sometimes I even think that maybe Teacher Touko himself doesn't know what his deeds are being praised for.
"Such praise will make me feel better."
Teacher Touko smiled at me, and then his eyes became a little serious. "Speaking of which, Lorona, are you interested in being my assistant? I need some help for some projects."
"——Yes, very happy!"
The moment I heard it, I immediately responded.
Then, the next moment I realized that I had achieved my goal, my heart started to beat crazily as if it had just come to its senses, and my body could not stop trembling with excitement.
To be honest, I really didn't expect that Teacher Touko would invite himself to be an assistant so easily. Even if he invites me to be an assistant, there may be some additional requirements.
For example... things like warming the bed and taking care of the bed.
"There's no chance of going back."
Teacher Touko reminded me,
Then, I said decisively:
"It is my honor to be Teacher Touko's assistant."
"Yeah."
Teacher Touko nodded slightly, then looked at the mecha and put it down, and said to me in a chatting tone, "Lorona, since you have become my assistant, let me tell you a little bit about my research direction."
"The direction of my current research is how to make the earth survive longer, that is, to avoid the outcome of Steel Earth in the future."
Listening to Teacher Touko's words, I felt that my brain was a little stuck, probably because the content of Teacher Touko's words was too lofty and great, and as a Magecraft teacher, I couldn't understand it.
However, I still captured a keyword.
"Steel Earth?"
I made a confused sound.
"In the future, life on earth will be exhausted and the surface environment will deteriorate rapidly!"
Teacher Touko told me in a story-telling tone, "And the civilization we have built based on the earth's environment will also collapse due to the depletion of the earth's vitality. Although humans will not become extinct in the future, the living environment will be like purgatory. The earth is barren, the sky is covered with smoke, and there will be alien planets that will massacre the remaining humans."
"This is me Steel Earth."
Shocked.
Suspect.
Don't believe it.
fear.
Listening to Teacher Touko's light explanation, my mood changed several times. Even breathing felt a little laborious, and I couldn't adjust my breathing rhythm in a short period of time.
It was a bit disrespectful to just stay in place.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it, because these words were spoken by Teacher Touko, and if you want to treat them as a bragging joke, there is simply no way to do it.
Because, I know very well that Teacher Touko is very powerful.
If we can use some means to see the future, this kind of thing is actually not impossible.
On the contrary, this is actually very possible.
"Teacher Touko, can you see the future?"
Finally, I asked my doubts.
"It does have some predictability, but Steel Earth this is not the information I got from prediction."
Teacher Touko tilted his head and said to me, "Moreover, in fact, the future ending of this world line is not necessarily Steel Earth. There are actually many possible ways for Gaia-chan to die, so you don't need to worry too much."
"...Teacher Touko has any specific information about Steel Earth?"
I asked a little dryly.
Then, Teacher Touko gave the answer.
"I know a little bit, although it's not comprehensive."
"Really, can you tell me a little bit?"
