Endless Silver Machine

In Wei Xi’s room——

The white-haired and silver-haired girls were sitting on the bed facing each other, with Liuyin's clothes scattered around him.

"Didn't I say it..."

"You like to show off your strength the most. I wouldn't believe it until I saw it."

With a tough tone, Liuyin climbed up to Wei Xi who was tightly wrapped in pajamas.

"There's no one else here, and I've taken it all off, so that's okay, right?"

"What's not a problem...there are problems everywhere..."

She would not give up unless she agreed to Liuyin's request. Wei Xi knew Liuyin's character very well. So she slightly let go of the hand tightly holding her chest.

"Just take a look..."

"I'm just checking, I won't do anything."

Seeing Wei Xi finally lowering her defenses, Liu Yin smiled with satisfaction.

"Come on, raise your hands high."

She slowly lifted the hem of Wei Xi's pajamas, and Wei Xi immediately suppressed her hand.

"Why do you have to take them all off..."

"How can I check it without taking it all off?"

"Just a little bit..." Wei Xi's face was already flushed. She turned her head away from Liu Yin. She put her trembling hands on the hem of her pajamas and lifted up a corner, "This way... that's all."

Wei Xi's whole body shivered when her little navel came into contact with the outside air. Her hand holding her pajamas trembled even more, while her other hand worked hard to support her body.

Liu Yin looked at Wei Xi's appearance, and his face turned red.

"Well...just keep it like this..."

Liuyin murmured, and the distance between him and Wei Xi became only a breath away. In the warm room, Liuyin's hands were not as cold as when he first came in. Her fingertips traced Wei Xi's lower abdomen, and Wei Xi reflexively avoided her fingers. The hand supporting her body accidentally slipped on the sheets, and Wei Xi fell in front of Liu Yin.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

"It doesn't matter, I'm just too anxious..."

Liuyin spread her legs and gently pressed on Wei Xi's soft body. I haven't felt this warm feeling in a long time...

Liuyin suddenly felt like he had let go of something.

She leaned down towards Wei Xi, whose eyes were filled with tears.

"Xiao Xi, I'm sorry..." He said softly in her ear, "I didn't keep the promise..."

Wei Xi listened to her best friend's murmur of self-reproach in a daze, and tears could not stop sliding down her cheeks. Her hands gently hugged Liuyin, bringing the two closer.

"We haven't kept our promise..."

It is impossible for Liuyin to abandon his identity as a knight of the Holy See and stay with Wei Xi, and it is impossible for Wei Xi to return to the Holy See. However, being able to hug each other and feel the long-lost warmth is another form of happiness.

Each other's heartbeats gradually synchronize, and each other's moods gradually merge. Even if the physical distance is forced to separate by the cruel reality, the two people's hearts can be closely connected.

"Go, go. Augustus is not someone who can just go in. It's already rare to get a glimpse of it. Is it the invitation from Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming Yiela? Then you will probably stay there. It’s been a while.”

"Isn't it enough just to meet in person?"

"How could it be possible to let you back so easily? There must be various activities for guests like you to participate in. This is the practice of the royal family. If the scene is not made grand, wouldn't it seem too stingy?"

"I didn't even know...it turned out to be like this..."

"And the invitation letter was not given directly to you by Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming Yiela. When the envelope was delivered to you, those in August should have already known about it."

"That means there is no room for thinking at all and you can only choose to accept it?"

"An invitation from the royal family, that's pretty much it."

Professor Cocona swung her legs on her work chair and swiveled the pen holder flexibly between her fingers.

"I want to remind you one thing." She tapped the cap of her pen on the table, "You have to remember this carefully."

"OK."

"Don't use 'Mechanical Alchemy' casually outside. Now you and Ling are using the magic equipment prepared by Shimozuki Academy, right? Bring that with you outside as well. As a last resort, you can wear your magic equipment together. Don’t show it on your body unless absolutely necessary.”

"...Well, I understand."

Professor Cocona would emphasize this point so much, but did not clearly explain the reason. Aika was not so stupid that she couldn't understand what was hidden in it. The power of magic equipment is indeed being watched by some people, at least the Nemesis Society has been in contact with them. So he kept Professor Cocona's advice firmly in mind.

"But I really didn't expect that you would actually be related to the royal family like this."

"I didn't expect Lan Ming to take this matter so seriously."

"This way of addressing Her Royal Highness must be changed when August comes."

"Ok, I know."

"I know that Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming Yiela has a very good character. After all, she is a national idol like Ziming Yiela. But due courtesy must be observed, especially in front of other royal families. Otherwise she It seems so undignified, right?”

"Ha ha……"

Things about the royal family are really complicated...

"Does Lan Ming have a younger sister?"

"Her Royal Highness Princess Ziming Yiela... I told you how little you care about political affairs. You should have heard this name at least once or twice."

"We don't have the habit of discussing political affairs in our hometown..."

"Think about it... Since it is an invitation from my sister, Her Royal Highness Princess Ziming Yiela should be able to meet you. However, it is said that her body is not naturally very good, so there are very few opportunities to show up, so there is no need to hold her Too much hope.”

…………

Wei Xi sent Liu Yin to the entrance.

"Where have they all gone?"

"Brother Aika went to Cocona... Luoluo and sister Ling went to the commercial street..."

After Wei Xi put on her pajamas again, she saw the text message from Aika.

"Looks like it wasn't heard."

Liuyin smiled slyly at Wei Xi.

"..."

Wei Xi was so embarrassed that she couldn't say a word.

"You are still worried that your voice will be heard, and you are very nervous. But that feels good, right?"

"Hurry up and leave!"

Wei Xi, whose cheeks were already burning hot, pushed Liu Yin's back hard and sent her out the door, still looking reluctant to leave.

"See you next time..."

Wei Xi waved to Liuyin who was about to leave.

"Well, when I'm not around, just rely on the people around you. You already have your own family, so accept their kindness frankly. Only then can I hand you over with confidence..."

Liuyin's voice was a little lonely.

"Well, goodbye."

Liuyin turned around and turned his back to Wei Xi, symbolizing the end of this time between the two of them.

"that!"

Seeing Liuyin's figure fading away with her long silver hair swaying, Wei Xi suddenly shouted loudly.

"elder sister!"

Liuyin did not stop because of Wei Xi's call, but Wei Xi believed that her voice must have reached her.

"Liuyin...sister..."

Her little hands clenched against her chest.

"Thanks……"

It wasn't until today that she and Liuyin revealed everything to each other in a true sense.

"Did you go to Senior Sister Lilith's place?"

At dinner, Lolo talked about what happened after leaving home in the afternoon. They got more detailed information from Senior Sister Lilith. As a result, the three of them chatted at the "Moonlight Bath" until the evening. Naturally, they had no time to go to the commercial street.

"Senior Sister Lilith said that there are many unworn dresses at home. You can lend them to us if needed."

"Even in commercial streets, they may not sell very formal dresses. Generally, such clothes are specially customized."

Ling only thought of this problem when she was walking halfway, so she suggested that Luoluo go to senior Lilith instead of going to the commercial street.

"That is to say, senior Lilith is basically doing all the preparations this time?"

After being helped so much by senior Lilith, Aika felt a little too dependent on her.

"She seems pretty happy, so I might as well accept it."

"Sister Ling also thanked me very much."

"Luoluo, what you said... I feel like I'm very rude..."

"No, just because...the other party is Senior Sister Lilith?"

"..."

"Brother, when do we set off?"

"Principal Phyllis said that no matter how we arrange it, she will contact the tutor and will not interfere after that."

After Principal Phyllis understood the situation, she readily agreed. Although it was just because she felt that it would be troublesome to know more deeply, she still actually helped Aika solve the problem at Shimozuki Academy.

"That invitation letter...don't you need to reply..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Wei Xi's gentle words made the whole room suddenly quiet.

"Xiao Xi, do you want a reply to this..."

Luoluo's smile looked forced.

"Invitations from the royal family usually limit a specific time... Like this, it may be that Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming Yiela is concerned about our time... It would be better to reply with a specific time..."

"But, it's already so late today... If I send a reply tomorrow, how many days will it take for it to be delivered to Augustus?"

"The fastest speed will probably take a day." Ling told Luoluo the rough estimate, "It took too long to reply. Is there any problem?"

"What's the use of asking me?"

Ling moved her gaze from Aika to Wei Xi again.

"I, I'm not very clear either..."

"It seems like it's already a mess before it even starts," Ling shrugged helplessly, "If we could contact you via text message..."

"Wait!" Aika interrupted, "As for contact information, I have Miss Charlotte's address."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You shouldn't be able to use text messages, right? Isn't this process looked upon by many princes and nobles?"

"Anyway, let's ask Miss Charlotte what we should do first." Luoluo separated the two people who insisted on their own opinions, "I will write the content. Brother, lend me your PDA."

"It doesn't matter, I'll just write it."

"Even if it's a text message, it should be more formal. My brother's attitude is always so easy-going, and he is definitely not suitable for writing this kind of thing."

"Easy-going... to be more precise, it should be casual."

"Ling, I've always been serious."

"I just get a little serious occasionally."

Ling smiled mischievously and waved her hand to deal with Aika.

"Brother Aika... he is very handsome when he is serious..."

"Really? Ahaha..."

Wei Xi's appreciation made Aika a little embarrassed.

"I don't deny that, huh."

Luoluo, who was carefully writing the text message, did not raise his head and just took advantage of Wei Xi's words.

"Luoluo, you should deny the previous point!"

"What Sister Ling said is true."

"..."

Since even Luoluo said this, maybe he was really wrong...

Aika decided to face herself again.

"Well...Okay, I'm done writing."

"show me."

Ling sat next to Luo Luo.

"Brother, Xiao Xi, you should also come and see if there is anything that needs to be modified."

"Well... it should be fine."

After watching it, Aika didn’t have any special feelings. It's still Luoluo's style as always, and there's nothing to criticize about his attitude or wording.

"Here..." Wei Xi pointed to one of the paragraphs, "There is no mention that we will live in Senior Sister Lilith's house."

"Do you want to include Senior Lilith's affairs as well?"

"Augus will send someone to greet you on that day, otherwise you won't be able to go in. So we have to make it clear where we live..."

"Well, I understand." Luoluo revised the content according to Wei Xi's instructions, "Are there any other problems?"

"I think it's okay..."

"Then I'll send it like this."

After pressing the send button, Luoluo touched his chest as if to reassure himself. She was also very nervous when writing the content.

"The next step is to wait for the reply." Returning Aika's PDA to himself, Luoluo stood up from the small circle formed by everyone, "In this case, it won't take long to receive the reply, right? "

"Maybe I'll see the reply before I even sleep."

Aika's words, which were originally meant as a joke, came true a few hours later.
