Emely and Neige skied around for what felt like hours, trying their best to find their way. Neige proposed to Emely to return to the ship to see everyone's location, but the engineer's stubbornness made them both run in circles. After walking in front of the same tree for the fourth time, Neige turned toward Emely exhausted.

"Seriously, I'm sure everyone's worried now."

"No, I remember the way now, just follow me."

"It's the tenth time that you remember the way, can't we just use our watches?"

Emely looked at the sun setting, trying to find their location.

"I think it's on the opposite of the sun."

"Sure... Whatever you say."

The two friends walked for a while, Emely was certain they were on the right track, unlike Neige who gave up and just followed her around.

"We have to go back soon, I want to spend time with Silva..."

"Yeah, Silva said she wanted to do something with me too, I hope we don't arrive too late."

Emely turned toward Neige with a suspicious gaze, surprising him a bit.

"What is it? Is there something on my face?"

"No, it's just... What were you about to do with Silva?"

"I don't know, she didn't tell me. Don't tell me you're jealous?" Neige said in a joking tone, which didn't seem to ease Emely.

"I'm not jealous, I know she's a loyal girl and that I'm her favorite, I just want to know what she's doing, that's all."

"I think I'm her favorite actually. After all, we have known each other for longer, and we spend most of our time together on mission or the ship."

"Come on, that's immature. She's a human being, we shouldn't try to guess who she prefers... Even if it's me."

Neige rolled up his eyes at Emely's words, clearly disagreeing.

"Why would it be you?"

"Because she kissed me on the mouth and said she loved me more than anything."

"And she said I'm more precious than anything."

"That's two different things, you just don't understand love. Furthermore, Silva asked me for a daughter, did she ever ask you for one?"

"I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she did at this point... I'm glad that you two are in love, but it hasn't been that long."

"We do quality over quantity, and besides, love is stronger than friendship."

"You say that because it's Silva, if it was someone else, you wouldn't say the same thing."

Emely paused for a moment, thinking about Neige's sentence.

"You're right, Silva is amazing. She's not like others."

"We can't find who's her favorite, but we can always agree on that. She is an incredible friend, and I'm sure she's as great of a lover."

"Yeah..." Emely stayed silent for a few minutes before asking Neige in a soft voice "Do you think Silva would feel bad if she wasn't the first one?"

"The first one? You already had someone before?"

"I suppose so, I had a crush on another girl before but she was a bad person in the end so I'm glad I never confessed. Still... I never told Silva about it, I'm afraid she feels less special."

"That's not how she works, she's probably glad to be better than this girl and would brag about it."

"I hope so... I'll probably tell once everything is over, I don't want to add to her burden. She's the first one I feel so... Warm for. Ever since she saved me from my world I always admired her, I tried making revolutionary inventions for her, I wanted her to be proud of me... Even just as a friend..."

"It's quite ironic, it had the opposite effect."

Emely turned toward Neige, with surprise on her face.

"She didn't like them?"

"It's not that, but... Every time you did something, everyone would talk about it all day. Silva felt like she was being forgotten, and every time you created something new, it just annoyed her more."

"I see... To be honest, I felt pretty depressed after she insulted me the first time. I didn't feel like working anymore and just focused on random silly stuff."

"So that's why nothing was getting repaired on the ship..."

"Yeah, it didn't feel good to know that my hero never appreciated what I did. I know I call her my knight in shining armor sarcastically to mess with her, but she really is a brave knight for me."

"I'm sure she sees you like her hero to some extent too. She felt much better after getting with you."

"I'm glad if I can help her, I remember at the time when we barely could communicate... I wanted her to know that I was here for her but couldn't tell her directly. Even if I didn't always enjoy it, I preferred Silva to hate me rather than hating herself..."

"That's noble of you, she often talked about how annoying and dumb you were, but she clearly enjoyed your company. You offered her something she couldn't have with anyone else."

"I hope now I can do it in other ways, I want Silva to get the life she deserves but couldn't get."

The two smiled at each other, hoping to see their common friend soon. It didn't take much until they saw the red hair of the girl coming out from seemingly nowhere. Silva stood in front of them and seemed concerned once she found them.

"Emely? Neige? Everyone has been searching for you!"

"We didn't mean to cause trouble, we got lost." Said Emely "But I'm glad you're here now, we need to know, who's your favorite?"

"My favorite? My favorite what?"

"Between me and Neige."

Silva paused for a moment, not knowing what to answer.

"It's kinda weird, you're both very important to me, just in different ways."

"You're not getting out of this situation that easily." Neige stood in front of Silva, not letting her go away "Don't you remember all the adventure we did together?"

"Come on Silva, think about all the things that Neige can't do and that I can."

Silva stood in the middle, a bit overwhelmed. The two continued arguing until she decided to put a stop to this futile debate.

"I love you both, you're both important to me. If you're not happy, I'm going to hang out with Sepide."

"W-What? You can't do that!" Emely said with surprise "I'm sorry, we went too far. We were just curious."

"Y-Yeah, Emely's right. It just makes me a bit sad to spend less time with my friend, but I'm glad if you're happy with Emely."

"Good, now you'll both come with me and we'll have fun together, Ina cooked for everyone!"

Silva smiled cheerfully, relieving the two friends. The duo followed Silva, trying their best to not annoy the blind girl.

The group arrived at a cottage where everyone was waiting for them. The leader was heavily blushing for some reason, while Remiel and Gwyn next to her looked at the trio arrive.

"Emely, I needed to ask you something."

"What is it, Gwyn?" The engineer asked with curiosity.

"We were discussing the leader's mental health, Remiel said she would gladly help but couldn't in her state."

"Help? How?"

"I need you to install me sexual organs."

Emely stepped back in shock, not sure she understood what the robot meant.

"I think you misunderstood something Remiel..."

"No, she didn't." Answered Gwyn "It seems like the leader has repressed sexual needs and when I said that, Remiel proposed to help."

"I'm not giving Remiel that, that's too weird for me."

"Why? They both gave consent and-"

"Remiel is not an adult yet, we'll talk about it again once she's one."

"I see." Gwyn turned toward the leader after letting out a sigh "Looks like you'll need to wait for a while before doing it with a robot."

The leader blushed even more,

"It's... Not what I meant... I talked about a game..."

Remiel stood up and turned toward Emely with confusion in her eyes.

"Am I not an adult? And I believe it is my right to do what I wish with my body."

"I'm your creator, you're not getting anything until you're an adult."

"But Mom, it is unfair."

"D-Don't call me Mom! We already talked about it!"

Emely and Remiel argued for a moment in front of the amused Silva. Emely noticed how her beloved was and turned toward her in the hope of getting some help.

"Silva, can't you say something? Remiel doesn't listen to me..."

"It depends, can I call you Mommy?"

Emely blushed heavily looking at everyone in the room.

"N-Not in front of everyone! Why do you both have Mommy issues!?"

"I do not have Mommy issues, you are my mother by technicality and-"

Emely took Remiel out of the cottage, too embarrassed to continue this conversation in front of everyone. Silva followed her outside while everyone was giggling at the scene. Even if Silv would soon act, everyone still managed to have a light heart and rest for the night.
