Endless Silver Machine

The news that Tebiri Wangli Academy was violently occupied by armed men at night was exposed by reporters everywhere the next day.

Aika woke up in the infirmary of Wangli Academy, and the wounds on her body had almost healed. I sat up a little and moved my arms, but the bones didn't seem to be broken. Although there is some pain, it should still be intact inside.

"Wei Xi..."

Initially, she thought there was no one in the ward, but when she turned her head, Wei Xi was sitting on a chair nearby, her little head resting on Aika's quilt, breathing steadily. Her small shoulders rose and fell gently with her breathing.

Aika recognized the place where she was now, which was the infirmary of Frost Moon Academy. Since we are here now, the incident should have been successfully resolved.

Aika gently got out of the bed from the other side, carried Wei Xi to the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

After doing this, Wei Xi still fell into a deep sleep.

Aika looked at her peaceful sleeping face for a while longer, and then walked out of the bed covered by a white curtain.

As expected, everyone was waiting outside. Seeing Aika coming out a little unsteadily, they all gathered around. It's embarrassing to say that, except for Aika, no one here has been injured more seriously than him. Even Qiu Ke, who was shot by the tranquilizer gun, is still alive and kicking as before.

All the militants were subdued. According to Tiluya and the others, Wei Xi did not use the barrier in the end. When they arrived at the scene, all the men with guns had lost consciousness. Aika's wounds were simply bandaged by someone who didn't know who, and Wei Xi stayed by his side as he was unconscious. Even if she was asked what happened, Wei Xi would not say anything.

Aika thought of the two people she saw before her consciousness was interrupted. That man's face can't be forgotten even if he wants to. Aika didn't reveal what he was thinking, although he felt a little guilty for hiding it from his friends. If the time came, he would definitely tell it all.

Wei Xi must have heard something from those two people, and Aika was going to wait until she was alone with her before asking her what happened after that.

He looked at the curtain as pure white as Wei Xi's hair color. What kind of dream was she dreaming now? Only now did Aika think about whether there would be anything wrong with letting her sleep on the bed she had slept on. But then I thought about it, this wasn't the first time they slept together. If it offends her, a good apology after waking up should do the trick.

Wei Xi is such a child, and sometimes Aika even feels that he is taking advantage of her sincerity.

Anyway, let her have a good rest now.

The one who suffered the most damage was undoubtedly Wei Xi.

…………

Exchange learning does not end because of emergencies. In their public speeches, the two principals deeply reflected on the college's negligence and skillfully calmed the students' emotions.

Although the news reported by reporters cannot be withdrawn, Tebiri Wangli Academy has controlled the leakage of information to a certain extent.

The Knights of the Kingdom of Tebiri were also alarmed by this incident. The top leader of the Knights attended the public meeting after the incident and carefully answered the reporters' questions.

Through this incident, the government has to disclose its unclear attitude towards the technology party. At this stage, the government has only conveyed this meaning. However, once this statement is made, it must have a huge influence.

The most important purpose of this exchange and learning has indeed been achieved.

The news has been relayed to neutral territory. In order to block intelligence, the Tebiri Kingdom blocked communications to foreign countries. Aika and Wei Xi were unable to contact Luo Luo and Ling using PDAs for a long time.

They must have seen the news. I wonder how the two of them will feel now... Aika eagerly hopes to hear their voices right away. Fortunately, the news mentioned that all the students were fine, so I could only suppress my worry for the time being.

…………

This time, Aika and Wei Xi took the "Mystis" together and returned from the second airport of the Tebiri Kingdom.

All my thoughts on the return journey were overtaken as soon as my feet set foot on the ground.

"elder brother!"

Among the people leaving the ship, Luoluo, who had arrived at the port early to wait, immediately found the person he thought about day and night.

The weight that fell on her body almost caused Aika, whose body had not fully recovered, to fall. That would be too embarrassing. Aika could only hug Luoluo's waist tightly with her arms, and the familiar touch made Aika's nose feel sore.

"I know...you can't blame brother...it's not my brother's fault..."

Luoluo was held in Aika's arms, her weak little fists accompanied by warm tears falling on Aika's chest every time she spoke.

Even with such gentle force, every blow made his heart hurt as if it was being grasped.

In the end, I couldn't even organize a complete sentence. All that remained was the sound of crying that was like emptying all the air from the lungs.

"Ling..."

Aika caressed Luo Luo's back helplessly, then looked up at the blond girl who had been standing behind her, looking wordlessly at this side.

Even without tears, her red eyes betrayed her hidden emotions. Ling sniffed hard, closed her mouth tightly, and clenched her hands into fists.

If Luoluo hadn't hugged him, Ling's far-from-gentle fist would probably have fallen on Aika's face and body immediately.

Wei Xi walked timidly in front of Aika and Luoluo, and lowered her head towards Ling. She didn't apologize, she just used this action to convey all her feelings to her "master".

Ling looked at Wei Xi with the same eyes, and then at Aika. Her clenched fists loosened and her eyes softened slightly.

"As long as it's okay."

It was a very cold statement, and Ling had no intention of adding anything to it.

This is enough, because it is Ling, so this sentence already explains everything.

Luoluo finally stopped crying, and Ling took her away from Aika. The four people began to walk slowly towards home.

There are still many things that can only be sorted out at home and explained to them slowly. Now this road requires no words, and the familiar plants and trees gradually come into view.

Winter is over, the breath of life begins to wake up from the harsh winter, and spring is about to begin. I was on the road until I got home. So why not enjoy this momentary journey with them?

Ling and Luoluo walked on the left side of Aika, and Wei Xi followed on his right with her head lowered. Suddenly, her sleeves felt pulled. Aika turned her head, and Wei Xi was holding her sleeves.

Aika was ready to hold her hand out of habit, but Wei Xi shook her head.

As long as it looks like this, it's enough.

Aika's warmth can be vaguely felt on the fabric, and Wei Xi's heart is also surrounded by the same warmth.

Wei Xi temporarily kept the two wishes Aika had promised in her heart. Because of this, there is a feeling that happiness can continue like this.

The time the two of them spent together was over, but Wei Xi didn't feel any regret. She looked at her travel bag placed on Aika's suitcase.

Two reverse-colored black and white bears clinging to each other.

This irreplaceable and intangible happy time has turned into an equally irreplaceable and tangible precious treasure.
