Legends of Runeterra

"Lacus, are you...making an appointment with a friend?"

Garen looked at Lux who was passing by excitedly. She was wearing a platinum dress and her long golden hair was braided into a simple and exquisite hairstyle, which fully revealed the girl's beauty.

"Huh? Galen, you haven't gone to training yet?"

"Today is my day off this month. By the way, Lux, aren't you a little too indifferent to me?"

"Hehe~! Sorry, Garen, you haven't been to the Fearless Vanguard Camp recently. I thought you had rested a long time ago!"

Galen shook his head helplessly.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Are you planning to go out today? Do you need me to accompany you?"

"Uh... no need~!"

Thinking of the conflict between Garen and the visitor today, Lux waved her hand somewhat awkwardly.

"Ah~! It's already this late, I have to wait at the door~! Goodbye, Garen, have fun on your day off~!"

The girl trotted towards the door, her skirt swaying slightly like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, and her smooth white calves flashed by.

"You really don't learn your lesson. If Aunt Tiana sees you, she will scold you again."

Murmuring softly, Garen hesitated for a moment, and driven by his brother's instinct, he stepped towards the door.

"Great! Li En, you're finally here!"

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Lux."

"Good day, Miss Lux, nice to meet you!"

"Hello Wayne, long time no see!"

Unlike the somewhat reserved Vayne, Lux took her hand affectionately and looked at her with a smile on her face.

When they agreed to go out for the trip today, Li En informed Wei En of her existence in advance.

"Vayne, just call me Lux. You look so beautiful today~!"

"Thank...thank you, Lux...you too."

Looking at the two people getting along harmoniously, Li En also had a smile on his face.

After chatting for a while, Wayne looked to the side and saw the luxurious carriage with a golden shield-like Crown Guard family emblem.

"Lacus, are we really going to use this car to travel around the capital? I feel like it might be a bit too ostentatious."

"It's okay, Wayne. All the carriages of the Crown Guard are of this style. This one belongs to my father at most. He's not going out today, so it's okay for me to use it.

With it, our visit to 'Xiongdu' today will be much faster~!

You said so, Li En."

"Well, since Lux is the one taking us out for fun today, let's just follow her arrangements."

"Okay, thank you, Lux."

"Hey~! You're welcome!"

While admiring the faces of the two carefully dressed girls, Li En suddenly felt a sharp gaze.

When he turned his head, he met Garen's determined gray-blue eyes.

At this moment, his face was as calm as water.

The two girls noticed something and turned around to find the two people looking at each other.

"Oh no, Garen and Li En ran into each other again."

Lux looked at Garen, then at Li En, and a trace of anxiety appeared on her pretty face, fearing that Garen would act impulsively.

He subconsciously moved his feet and stood in front of Li En.

Seeing this, Garen was slightly stunned, his face became even colder, but his aura was not as fierce as before.

Li En turned his head and looked at the blonde girl.

"Lacus, do you think it's safe for my carriage to park here?"

"Ah? Of course, Li En, don't worry, please trust the guards of the Mianwei family!"

Lux tilted her head and looked at Li En with some confusion.

Until she followed Li En's gaze and realized that he was looking at Garen when he said this.

Garen, who heard the conversation between the two from a distance, also looked gloomy.

'Your carriage is safe, but you are not!'

Muttering to himself, Garen walked towards Lux.

"Be safe and come back soon!"

"I know, brother!"

Lux gave a well-behaved smile, Garen nodded, and then looked at Li En.

"Good day, Mr. Galen!"

"Good day, Li En. I hope you have a good time."

Garen was indeed a little unhappy, but he still followed basic etiquette. After saying hello, he turned around and went back into the manor.

Li En and the other two boarded Lacus' father's carriage and began their tour of Xiongdu.

...

The carriage started slowly. Vayne admired the magnificent architecture of the capital through the window, while Lux's blue eyes moved back and forth between Li En and Vayne, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.

Li En quietly set up the barrier and looked at the blonde girl.

"Lacus, do you have anything to say?"

"Ah~! I...this..."

Lux shrank her head and stammered a few times.

"You are curious about why Wei En suddenly appeared in Xiongdu, right?"

"Um..."

"Actually, you and Wayne are the same person."

"Same...Ah! Li En, you mean..."

Lux opened her mouth slightly and looked at Vayne, who was equally astonished.

"Lacus, you too..."

"That's right!"

Li En crossed his hands and placed them under his chin.

"You're all magical girls!"

"So, Wei En, you are also a magic girl... No! Li En, what are you talking about, magical girl!"

"Li En is bullying again~!"

Facing the anger of the two girls, Li En's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Look, you have both awakened magic and are girls, so what's wrong with calling them magical girls?

I have been thinking about this title for a long time, don’t you like it? "

"No way, what magical girl? Do you think we are eight or nine-year-old children?"

"That's right, the magical girl is too embarrassing~!"

"Okay, okay, I won't call you that."

Li En held the little fists that were stretched out from both sides, and the two girls' hands immediately softened in Li En's warm palms.

They looked at each other and then quickly moved away. Both of them realized that the other had a special relationship with Li En, but at this moment they suppressed the urge to explore.

The two of them sat together and began to talk about the timing of awakening magic.

Apart from Li En, they were the only mages each other had ever met. They were of the same gender and similar age, and their relationship progressed rapidly in an instant.

Vayne's previous restraint due to Lux's identity disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After chatting for a while, Lux looked at Li En.

"By the way, Li En...How did Wayne learn magic?"

"Well, the awakened magic is different, and the teaching method is also different. Vayne is constantly practicing in the forbidden magic stone room."

Lux breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and Vayne also spoke out of curiosity.

"Leen, what about Lux's?"

"As for Lux, she has been awakened for a long time and has accumulated a lot of magic power, so it is a bit more difficult to teach her. I must teach her 'hand in hand'."

"That's it..."

Vayne nodded and looked at Lux, whose face was slightly red, and always felt that things were not that simple.

But now is not the time, so I didn't continue asking.

...

The Plaza of the Heroes, the Hall of Valor, the Temple of the Dawnbringer...

In just one morning, Li En and his two companions successfully visited a series of scenic spots in this carriage with the Crown Guard family emblem.

Near noon, the three of them arrived outside the Church of the Illuminators.

So, under the leadership of Lux, Li En and Wayne walked directly into the church.
