Endless Silver Machine

The next day's breakfast was prepared by Liuyin and Weixi together, and Luoluo rarely overslept.

The only person who knew she slept late last night was Aika.

After Aika returned to her room, she still didn't fall asleep for a long time, and the same should be true for Luoluo.

He stayed with Luoluo until late at night before sending her back to her room.

Maybe it's not a waste of time. In the flowing time, both Aika and Luoluo have thought a lot.

…………

"Brother, I want everyone to get back to the right state. Although I do have no memory of living with Sister Ling and Xiao Xi now, I always feel that something is wrong now."

After learning the truth that night, Luo Luo had found his own answer.

"After recovering my lost memories, the days I spent with my brother will be forgotten instead. I'm afraid that will happen..."

"If you lose your memory, create more memories to fill it. Create many, many memories until you can no longer remember them."

This is the only promise that Aika can give to Luoluo. Only with this, he will never break his promise.

"No..." This is not the promise that Luoluo wants Aika to make to him, "My brother has already satisfied my selfishness, so I should give him something in return. Although I can only do some trivial things... …”

There was a slightly ambiguous atmosphere floating in the air. Luoluo was silent in the shadow behind the moonlight. Aika couldn't even guess what she really wanted to express.

Of course he knew that Luo Luo would not still think of that kind of thing at such a critical moment, so the real guilty person was himself who naturally thought about that kind of thing.

"Ah, I remembered."

Just as he was worrying about what kind of request he should make in return for himself, what Liuyin said in the Holy See today suddenly came to his mind.

Just take advantage of this opportunity.

"Although Liuyin doesn't have to return to the Holy See during this period, she still seems to have assigned tasks to do in the Northwest District. This time, she also gave us a lot of help, so I have to help her."

"Brother, do you want to go with Miss Liuyin..."

Luoluo didn't seem to agree immediately. She chewed the meaning of this sentence carefully.

"The northwest area of ​​the imperial capital seems to be the center of industrial development now. It is said that the factory area is not enough, so the two areas were merged."

"Is that so? What does it take to get to a place like that?"

"This... I haven't asked Liuyin specifically yet, but it is indeed a task assigned to her by the Holy See, so don't worry."

This was just a temporary excuse that Aika came up with in order to get Luoluo to accept it. He didn't even know whether Liuyin would take him with him on the mission.

"I won't doubt my brother's words." At that moment, she did have some emotional problems, "But... isn't the work of the Holy See very dangerous..."

What he really wanted Aika to know was not his feelings, which he couldn't even call "jealousy", but his safety.

"You shouldn't worry about this. I have experienced some big scenes, and I am a little conceited..." Aika, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt ashamed in front of Luoluo, "Besides, Liuyin is also A very powerful knight.”

"Well, I believe that brother will not lie." Luoluo said this, as if to reassure himself, "It must be because of brother's strength that we can live here like now."

Aika couldn't take what Luo Luo said for a while, because Luo Luo thought he "can't lie", so he couldn't lie.

The person who really saved Luo Luo was not himself, but someone who didn't know it.

At least, I couldn't save Lolo if I lost consciousness in that place.

"So," he couldn't lie and could only change the topic away from himself, "Ling will be left to you to take care of during this period. Wei Xi will definitely ask for help, but it will definitely not work without you. "

"Is this... in return?"

"Well, you did something I could never do."

Aika got up and prepared to go back. From the changes in the moonlight, he knew that a long time had passed since he came to this room.

Luoluo almost needs to rest. If possible, Aika really wants to stay with her until she falls asleep.

But this thought must be suppressed. He has already taken advantage of Luoluo's current state and spent an unforgettable time with her.

The relationship between the two of them had returned to its original point on that night of skin-to-skin contact.

"Actually, the title 'brother' is really incredible..."

Luoluo suddenly said this when Aika walked to the door of the room.

Aika's hand stopped on the doorknob, waiting for her to finish.

"Until now, I'm still not used to being called this suddenly... But, how should I put it..."

Luoluo didn't make a sound of footsteps, and Aika still knew that she was coming behind him.

There was a feeling that she was by my side, so even if I didn't look back, my extremely calm mood told me.

Slender arms hugged his waist. Luoluo didn't let him look back, just kept holding Aika in this position.

The bodies pressed tightly together did not feel the heat of summer, but just like the warm wind blowing through the heart, making people reluctant to leave.

"Similar to this mood, there is a very nostalgic and comfortable feeling..."

Luoluo just wanted to convey this feeling to Aika, hoping to make him feel it at the nearest distance.

This is my last willfulness...

Only by convincing yourself in this way can you do something like this to "finally bother Aika."

She didn't know that Aika, as a boy, was trying his best not to shed tears at this time.

Aika couldn't make a sound either, and her choked tone couldn't be hidden from Luo Luo.

Moreover, he also knew that this was Luoluo's last willfulness.

Only by convincing yourself in this way can you accept the "finally trouble yourself" move like this.

Nights like this will eventually become part of our memories, and they are the most important part.

…………

Wei Xi had been waiting at the dining table early. Today she looked like she wanted to have breakfast right away, but being a good child, she would never make such a request.

Aika got up a little earlier than Luoluo. While waiting for Luoluo, Weixi's belly occasionally made cute sounds.

"No...it's not..."

In fact, everyone pretended not to hear, but Wei Xi's shy and anxious denial was completely exposed.

"Did you miss out on yesterday's dinner?"

Since Wei Xi brought it up herself, remaining silent would make her even more embarrassed, so Liuyin simply put the topic on the table.

"no……"

"That's what it's like. It's been a long time since so many people came together at home, so I didn't estimate how much food I would eat."

Usually there are only Liuyin and Shun in this house. Although the two of them often go home at different times due to official business, the dinner time will not be canceled even if it is very late.

"it's not like that……"

"Wei Xi is in a period of growth now..."

"Please listen to me!"

Wei Xi finally slapped the table cutely when Aika explained the facts, but when everyone focused all their attention on her, she retracted her seat.

"Speaking of which, Wei Xi is twelve years old, right?"

She always felt a little guilty for bullying her like this. Wei Xi must be hungry.

Aika thought she could probably forget that feeling if she turned her attention to other topics.

"This year, he should be thirteen years old."

Liuyin helped Wei Xi, who was out of state, to do some calculations.

"Sorry, I don't know Wei Xi's birthday yet..."

Aika has wanted to know Wei Xi's birthday a long time ago, but has never found a chance to confirm it with her.

There is not many days difference between his and Luoluo's birthdays, she is just one year younger than him.

Aika doesn't take his birthday very seriously, it's just a matter of mood, so his birthday is always celebrated on the same day as Lolo's birthday.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether he celebrates it or not. It is his family, especially Luoluo, who "forcibly" celebrates his birthday again and again as if it is unacceptable.

"..."

"Wei Xi?"

"Neither of us have birthdays."

It took Aika a moment to understand Liuyin's instructions.

Liuyin and Weixi are both children in an orphanage. Children who don't even know their parents certainly don't know when they came to this world.

"Xiao Xi and I have been living in the orphanage since we were able to remember the things around us. The director's grandma said that our parents died because of an accident, and there was nothing left to prove them."

Liuyin surprisingly calmly recounted her and Wei Xi's life experiences. Perhaps she had accepted this fact in the past few years of living independently.

On the other hand, Wei Xi, who was not moving, was still somewhat resistant to this topic.

"good morning everyone……"

At a time when he didn't know whether the topic should continue, a sleepy-eyed Lolo walked down the stairs.

After seeing everyone gathered in the restaurant, her sleepiness seemed to be blown away in an instant.

"S-Sorry! I overslept!"

It was very embarrassing to be waited for by everyone, so Luoluo quickly apologized to everyone.

"It's okay, it's okay, it must be because you were too tired last night."

"No, nothing..."

It's not that Luoluo finds it hard to take care of Ling, it's just that she had a little insomnia last night.

"I saw it."

Shun suddenly said this without thinking.

"What did you see?"

"Last night, very late at night, you and Luoluo came out from the same room."

Shun used strange sentences and strange gestures to completely change the direction of the conversation in the restaurant.

"Eh... when... happened..."

Wei Xi, who was sent to bed by Luo Luo around ten o'clock in the evening, was completely kept in the dark. Even if she was not good at dealing with this kind of topic, she still felt that she must know clearly.

"Wei Xi, it's not what you imagined..."

"Brother Aika...I can't believe your words..."

Wei Xi looked at Aika with eyes filled with sadness, like a little beast abandoned by its owner, with tears in her eyes.

"Probably around midnight or later."

Liuyin also interjected, adding to the strange trend.

"I didn't even pay attention to the time. How could you know it in such detail?"

Aika couldn't help but ask Liuyin. He thought of the worst possibility. Could it be that there were surveillance cameras in every room...

If this was the case, then the week he and Luo Luo spent here was completely exposed.

"You're thinking too much, I don't have much energy to monitor you." Liuyin raised the corner of his mouth slyly, "That's just when I heard the door closing in the next room. Xiao Xi must not have been there so late. When sleeping, Cocona and I are in the room, and Shun cannot go in or out of Ling's room. To sum up, the sound of the door closing twice can only be heard by the two of you. "

Aika had forgotten until just now that Professor Cocona's room was next to Ling's room, and she also heard that Liuyin and her had something to discuss.

"I just went to visit Ling, and it's impossible to do anything in Ling's room..."

Just a hug, it shouldn't be anything...

"You're just asking for it."

Shun looked back and forth jokingly at Aika who was defending and Luoluo who was keeping his head down and not speaking.

"Luoluo, please explain a little bit!"

Aika, who was fighting alone, could only place her hope on Luoluo, but she seemed to have no reaction at all.

"Just ordinary physical contact..."

Luoluo's words could not be called a rescue, but they only added fuel to the fire. In this case, Aika hoped that she would not speak.

Afterwards, trying to settle the subject took up all of precious breakfast time.

Aika came to the conclusion that Wei Xi was indeed hungry.

For some reason, the way she lowered her head and stuffed breakfast into her small mouth without saying a word looked more like she was giving up on herself...
