After sending Minerva away, Ed and Lux returned to the car, but this time the driver was replaced by Ed. According to the plan, after the two return home for a short rest, they will take the whole family to Diana's palace.
Today is the birthday of Dr. Aeolian Thuhanbeck, and the Queen and the Queen specially arranged a grand banquet for him and invited all the relatives and friends they could think of. Laura told Ed a thousand times in advance, telling him that Dr. Aeolia did not take the previous dispute to heart, and hoped that Ed could take this opportunity to reconcile with Dr. Aeolia.
Laura's love, Eddie, naturally had to take it, so he took the whole family to celebrate Aeolia's birthday. Even on the afternoon of Minerva's first day of school, she had to leave school early, although the little girl might not regret it at all.
Aeolia participated in the Antarctic scientific expedition team a year before the UC era began, and was just 22 years old when she discovered Adam. By this year's UC0088, she was 110 years old. Relying on advanced medical care and good maintenance, Aeolian's spirit is still strong, and his brain is even clear enough to continue to engage in scientific research activities.
Of all the people Ed knows, except CC, no one can match him in terms of longevity. However, this can't be said in front of CC, and An Qi's physical skills are no joke.
Just as Ed was thinking about how to reconcile with Aeolia for a while while driving, and he must not be in vain, Lux in the co-pilot suddenly said: "Ed, do you think our family needs it? Buy another car?"
"Why, isn't there another car at home?" Ed replied casually without warning. "I have changed both cars, so there is no possibility that there is a problem with performance? Or is there a good-looking style you like?"
"Because if the whole family goes out together, the seats are almost full." Lux said with a smile on her face, "If there are more people in the future, wouldn't there even be no seats? It's better to buy ahead of time."
"This, uh... It should be, no, it's definitely not necessary." Ed was sweating profusely in an instant, "I said before that there are no new additions to our family, but Alice can't be considered a new addition, right? Besides, it will be discussed whether Alice can be considered a person, don't you think?"
"I'm not talking about Alice, I said I don't care about Alice." Lux raised an eyebrow, "Who do you think I'm talking about?"
"...Minerva?" Ed looked at her in disbelief, not even caring about the fact that he was driving, "I thought when I came here just now, are you being too much to her? How old is she, Do you need to be so circumspect and bewildering? Those who didn’t know thought you were fighting Haman in the Supreme Council.”
"I don't want to speak ill of her behind her back, but she really..." Lux took a deep breath and exhaled, "It's really not as naive as you think, Ed, you rely too much on NT feeling."
"I know that she has reached the age of development of secondary sexual characteristics. At this time, the secretion of female hormones is relatively strong, and it is easy to have a vague favorable impression of the opposite sex around her." Ed took out the knowledge he learned in the physiological hygiene class and talked about it, " In addition, Xiaya basically did not fulfill her father's obligations, it is normal for her to have a little Electra now—"
"Co-author, do you know that she has an Electra complex?!" Lux interrupted him involuntarily and loudly, "I thought you didn't know about the whole family! Then she has been clinging to you all these days, and you are still relying on her. ?"
"Isn't it about to start school? It's normal for a child to become clingy, and spending more time with her can be considered compensation." Ed said confidently, "Besides, she just had her menarche—"
"She has her period???" Lux couldn't help but uttered a soprano, "Why didn't I know? Did you help her deal with it?!"
"What do you think? Am I that crazy?" Ed gave her a blank look, "Minerva is very sensible, and most of the sensitive steps are done by herself, so I will help a little bit. Busy. Besides, there are so many tutorials on the Internet, I can't handle such a trivial matter as Dr. Lingos?"
"I thought when did Angie change to cotton sanitary napkins, after a long time it turned out to be Minerva's?" Lux leaned on the back of the chair and gasped, her eyes full of shock, "I just said Why do you sleep with her every day, I thought you were still struggling with your current body and wanted to give everyone a step down, but I didn’t expect that…”
"I checked on the Internet before, and Minerva is a relatively early menarche. Little girls of this age have no concept of physical changes, and are prone to fear and insecurity." Ed explained patiently, " I also told her whether it would be more appropriate for you to come, but she said that she was a little afraid of you, after all, she is the main thing, so I still choose to respect her thoughts."
"... Ed, I don't care about Minerva's business." Lux sighed exhaustedly, "Anyway, I have already promised her to leave it alone. If you fall into her hands in the future, let An Qi save you. Well, I really don't care."
Ed felt that Lux might have a little prejudice against Minerva, as if the little girl's unique childhood experience with Harman and the precocious puberty caused by NT's excellent qualities were overly demonized. But with Char's relationship in it, he could understand it, so he wouldn't blame Lux. He was satisfied that she could treat Minerva kindly now.
"By the way, about the Laplace program." So he changed the subject bluntly, "I am really good, I guessed that the third location is Kilimanjaro."
"Well, I always thought you were amazing." Lux snorted helplessly and took over the topic tacitly, "It seems that your thinking about the entire Laplace program is correct, and you will follow the steps one by one. It would be fine if the apostles were brought out and destroyed, right?"
"That's right in theory." Ed nodded enthusiastically, "The key is to use this 'wolf is coming' to draw out the previously unexposed opposition in the federal high-level, and the apostles at the back really When they appear, they can be slapped in the face again, and it seems that the plot really has entered the cool rhythm of pretending to be slapped in the face."
"But it's not a cure for the symptoms. This group of people always think that if they make trouble, the plan behind it will be very difficult to carry out." Lux hesitated for a while, and soon made up her mind, "Ed, there is still in the legacy left by Lifonzi. With lots of money and connections, you—"
"You keep it, just treat it as your little treasury." Ed smiled indifferently, "In case I'm really gone one day, you can support yourself, don't make yourself unable to advance or retreat. "
Thousands of memories flooded into her mind in a trance, and Lux was abruptly stunned, feeling a mixture of emotions in her chest, and she didn't know how to express her expression.
"I used to feel like I was a passer-by. After death, I don't care about the flood, but this time I..." Ed smiled and shrugged, "In case I really die one day, I can't sit all over the world. Do you want to be killed? All human beings should not mention it first, and I will definitely be sorry for my family, so whether the big things in the world or the small things in the family should be reserved. "
"Is it so dangerous?" Lux looked worried, "You have solved the Laplace program left by people nearly a hundred years ago. Isn't everything going smoothly? You are still young, discuss this Is it too early to ask?"
"That's what I said, but the setting of the apostle has been changed by the devil. Even if the bird angel suddenly comes out and kills me for a second, it makes sense." After chatting and having already driven to the door of the house, Ed slowed down the car. Slowly driving into the garage, "Aeolia is also getting older, and the most urgent task is to bring Ayanori out as soon as possible. In case he and I are gone, someone can take charge of the overall situation."
"Ed..." Lux struggled for a moment, her pupils suddenly lit up, "If you fail to catch me this time, and I really launch the Human Completion Plan, will you kill me?"
"Don't be silly, I'll catch you as long as I'm alive." The car was parked in the garage, Ed turned off the engine, opened the door, and stepped out with one foot, "What are you doing in the Transformer form?"
"I said if." Lux stubbornly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Ed, what if it really happened?"
"It must be my fault if it really happened." Ed turned around and squeezed her cheek gently, feeling very good, "Of course the choice is to forgive you!"
Lux weakly let go of the hand that was pulling on his sleeve, and lowered her eyes in a daze. Ed walked to the other side to open the car door for her gentlemanly, and smiled and stretched out his left hand to him.
"But what's the point of arranging these things when you're not here?" Lux retracted the brilliance in her eyes, stretched out her right hand and placed it on his hand gracefully, and murmured in a voice that only she could hear, "Why don't you all Come with you."
