Endless Silver Machine

It was Aika's duty to carry Ling back to the room. After he fulfilled his duty, he was immediately kicked out of the room by Luoluo and Liuyin.

Dinner was still much later than expected. Luoluo and Wei Xi were greatly shocked by seeing the injured Ling with their own eyes.

Aika didn't know what the three of them said in Ling's room. In short, she didn't hear the door closing from the second floor until very late.

Although Liuyin has told everyone about Ling's current situation, for humans, only being able to speak and think can be called "alive".

Ling's comatose state of not knowing when it will get better cannot be viewed optimistically in any case.

The dinner was held in such a heavy atmosphere, and the most depressed people were indeed Luoluo and Wei Xi.

"If the Holy See can't do anything, other hospitals are probably in the same situation. The situation here is also very complicated. She should wake up by the time I finish."

Professor Cocona estimated the workload based on the data obtained today.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible to leave Ling alone in the Imperial Capital, and traveling back and forth between Shuoyue Academy and the Imperial Capital would not allow her to rest well.

"Anyway, cheer up. Didn't we agree not to worry Ling after she wakes up?"

Aika didn't know if this was encouragement, but it was just a little bit. He hoped that he could do something for everyone.

"It's no problem now, brother," Luoluo's smile was very forced, and she must have realized it herself, "If you just take care of it, Xiaoxi and I can do a good job..."

All that can be done now is simple "care", and nothing else can be done.

Luoluo was just a student, so she was naturally helpless when even the professional pharmacists of the Vatican were helpless.

"It will be done well..."

Wei Xi couldn't find anything else she could do, so she could only pin all her hopes on time.

Liuyin didn't say anything. She only looked up at everyone occasionally, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

After dinner, Luoluo and Wei Xi went back to Ling's room to help Ling change into clothes more suitable for resting.

Professor Cocona also wanted to sort out the data collected today. She used the bathroom first and then went back to her room.

"What are your plans?"

After leaving all the tasks of washing the dishes to Shungo, the restaurant where only Liuyin and Aika were left became quiet.

It was very quiet around the dining table from the beginning, but when everyone was there, the atmosphere became even more dull, and there was no peace inside.

"Let's stick to the original plan, but I originally thought that Professor Cocona would need us to stay there all the time, but now I feel like I can't find anything to do."

Aika doesn't know how he can take care of Ling, and he doesn't intend to interfere in the "work" of Luo Luo and Wei Xi.

This is not a question of whether to help or not. If they intervene on their own initiative, they will be disappointed.

Aika knows what they are thinking now. If you can find something that only you can do, you can feel that you are truly here.

This is the same as Liuyin's desire to be relied on. If you can't do anything, there will definitely be a hole in your heart.

Because now Aika has a deep understanding of the feeling that she is unable to work hard with them.

But he still remembered Liu Yin's words. If he was depressed, everyone would be affected by this atmosphere, so Aika insisted not to show it.

"You have worked hard too..."

As if seeing Aika's inner struggle, Liuyin suddenly murmured.

I didn’t say it specifically to comfort Aika, it was just that Aika happened to hear it.

The sound of water coming from the cooking room had stopped. Shun wiped his hands and walked out, sitting next to Aika.

"Let me ask a little bit, is the current situation very bad..."

Moments ago, they had only heard that Ling was injured. Luo Luo and Wei Xi, who had not seen Ling at that time, did not feel such a heavy feeling.

So Shun thought it was just a minor injury that was common to magicians, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

But with the atmosphere at the dinner table just now, even he, who was always optimistic, didn't know how to interrupt.

"They are probably too tired," Aika's eyes dimmed, "A lot of things have happened recently."

"How does Luo Luo make you feel now?"

Liuyin asked Shun like this before Aika could say anything.

"What does it feel like...isn't it the same Luoluo? I have to say there is something different..." Shun recalled Luoluo's appearance today, "I should say he is a little confused, and he feels a little mature?"

When Luo Luo and Wei Xi were sent home alone, it was immediately obvious that Du Luo Luo was a little offended by his attitude. To be precise, he was more polite.

When packing her things, she would often look at the room in a daze.

"An accident happened while we were at Shimozuki Academy."

Then, Aika told Shun everything about Lolo losing his memory during the Moon Flower Festival.

Liuyin only knew the general situation, and she listened patiently to Aika's words until the end.

After the last words were spoken, a brief silence fell at the table.

"In short, this is the current situation. Luoluo's memory has not been restored, and Ling has not woken up. We can only wait for them to recover on their own."

Shun doesn't need to blame Aika for such self-destruction. He understands that Aika has made a lot of efforts to restore Lolo's memory, but this is not a result that can be changed with no amount of effort.

"Everyone, you can come in."

Luoluo came down the stairs. She heard all of Aika's statement just now, but she just pretended not to care.

Shun and Liuyin also stopped mentioning this matter, otherwise they would let down her good intentions.

The reality is so cruel that human power seems too small.

Human beings live in such a world, played by invisible hands.

Of course, beauty also exists in this world, and it is precisely because of the existence of beauty that human beings will not give up easily.

…………

This time, everyone did not live together, but each used a new guest room.

It turned out that the room shared by the girls was reserved for the sleeping Ling, and Wei Xi temporarily lived in a different room from Luo Luo.

Luoluo doesn't mind living with Wei Xi. This is Wei Xi's own request.

She must have thought a lot before making such a decision.

She can no longer burden Luo Luo and must learn to be independent. This is the small goal Wei Xi has set for herself.

After taking a simple shower and sitting at the table he was used to, Aika couldn't calm down for some reason.

Wei Xi will go to bed after ten o'clock. Ting Shun said that Liuyin seemed to have gone to Professor Cocona's room and never came out. Maybe he needed to discuss his plans for this period of time.

Luoluo should be the only one staying in Ling's room to take care of her now. She doesn't go to bed as early as Wei Xi.

I don't know where this restless feeling comes from, and the night breeze that keeps blowing the curtains doesn't take away any heat.

Summer has not yet entered, and there is already a kind of summer heat.

The untimely chirping of insects coming from the window also adds to the feeling that summer is approaching.

"ah……"

Aika always kept her hands hanging down, leaning against the back of the chair, looking up at the ceiling.

It has been like this since the beginning.

I want to do something, but now I am here to kill time. This is probably the source of inner irritability.

"What on earth do I want to do..."

I keep saying that I have to do something, and I can't bear to watch the status quo develop without doing anything, but in reality I am really doing nothing.

After staying in this state for another minute, Aika jumped up from the chair.

Anyway, I have to do something...

He walked outside the house and saw that the empty corridor was lined with only guest room doors.

Without thinking about anything, he came to Ling's door and knocked gently.

A few seconds later, Luoluo opened the door

"Brother, it's so late..."

"You're still awake too."

Aika took the lead and blocked Luoluo's mouth.

It seemed that he was not the only one feeling the gradually warming temperature, as Luoluo also changed into a strapless pajamas.

"Can I come in?"

"sure."

This was not the first time Aika came to this room. He walked straight to the bed.

Luoluo closed the door behind him, gave his chair to Aika, and sat down on the cushion beside the table.

This room was originally used by several of them. When Luoluo lost his memory, all these cushions were simply stored in the closet.

"Don't you want to sleep now?"

"I can't fall asleep just yet."

The cup Luoluo placed on the table was still steaming, and there was a fragrance of scented tea in the room.

Even after drinking scented tea that promotes sleep, Luo Luo still didn't feel sleepy at all.

"me too."

"Is Xiaoxi asleep?"

"How could I possibly know? Besides, I don't have the key to the room."

Here, everyone keeps their own room key, and only Ling's room is unlocked.

In this room, there are memories forgotten by Luo Luo, as well as memories created after forgetting.

"I seem to be able to understand what kind of mood my brother had when he came here..."

Aika also came to this room at this time in order to return the "Heart of Orchid" to Luoluo.

At that time, Luoluo didn't know his relationship with Aika, but simply wanted to get closer to him.

Now recalling his actions at that time again, Luo Luo realized that it had different meanings for the two of them.

"Let me tell you..." Aika was silent for a while before speaking, "Have you ever thought that I am actually quite troublesome?"

You don't need to think about it to know that Luoluo's answer must be no, but Aika still couldn't help asking the question.

"A little...a little bit..."

Surprisingly, Luoluo's answer deviated from Aika's expected answer. Is this also the impact of amnesia?

"Really...that's my reason."

"Brother? I didn't mean that, not in that sense of 'trouble'..."

Luoluo himself couldn't explain it. What exactly did he feel dissatisfied with Aika?

The relationship between the two changed subtly the night they learned the truth from Aika.

Aika said "like" to herself. In that environment, Luoluo firmly believed that the "like" she said to herself was the same as her inner feelings.

Now I don't fully understand the relationship between brother and sister, and this fact only slows me down.

Only the emotion of "like" is deeply rooted in my heart. Now Luoluo will not deceive himself. Only he can understand the true meaning of this relationship.

But reality will never allow this kind of relationship to blossom. Luoluo knew where he had hidden this feeling before he lost his memory.

“When I get here, I remember that week.”

"Me too."

"If the memories of the past are restored, will you forget the time spent alone with my brother..."

There was loneliness in her tone.

Aika doesn’t know the answer to this question either.

The topic was discontinued.

Luoluo picked up the teacup and Aika looked out the window.

Only time will not stop and still maintain a silent pace.
