Endless Silver Machine

On the second day after returning to the classroom, everyone's attention was indeed attracted. Fortunately, Teacher Letika came to the classroom with the four of them, so they were not surrounded.

But what is supposed to come will always come. During the break, the four people sitting together were immediately surrounded by the classmates. The circle of less than 20 people did not even leave a way out.

As the squad leader, Qiu Ke did not play the role of maintaining order at all. Instead, he was the most excited person.

"Has Luoluo's memory recovered? Aika must have done such and such things during her time in the Imperial Capital, absolutely right?"

Although Qiu Ke's guess was correct to a certain extent, it was certainly impossible for Aika to admit that she had done "such and such" things in front of the whole class.

While constantly using questionable excuses to evade, Luoluo helped Aika out of trouble in time.

"Without Sister Ling's help, my memory might not have been restored."

When the Light Flame Sword awakened, the magic shock generated forced Orchid Heart to lift Luo Luo's memory seal. This is what Luo Luo told everyone when he was at Liu Yin's mansion.

Therefore, the person who helped her should be the Light Flame Sword to be precise. These facts that are inconvenient for others to know can only be hidden in everyone's hearts.

"Sister Ling, thank you for your hard work."

"No...actually I didn't really do anything..."

"Well, since onee-sama said so, it must be like this."

No matter how Ling explains it, Xixi seems to firmly believe that Luo Luo's ability to recover his memory is a miracle created by Ling.

Abby seemed to have endured not contacting Wei Xi during this period. They felt that if something urgent happened, their interruption would not only not be of help, but might become a burden.

"There is no such thing... If I can receive your concern, I will be very happy... But I am also very happy now..."

Although Wei Xi did not receive a text message from her friend in the end because of their different views on the incident, there is no need to regret no matter which starting point was used.

"Xiao Xi must have worked hard."

"Aika, didn't you have any effect this time?"

Carlo squeezed next to Aika, patted him on the shoulder and joked.

"Roughly the same."

The job of taking care of Ling was left to Luo Luo and Wei Xi. Luo Luo's memory recovery was also due to the influence of the Light Flame Sword. It seemed that he really had no effect as Carlo said.

"elder brother……"

"Um?"

Luoluo seemed to hear the conversation between herself and Carlo. She watched Aika hesitate to speak, and then laughed softly.

"It's nothing, this is how I look like my brother."

Aika remembers saying this on the airship. What does this sentence mean?

What do they really look like in their eyes? Aika didn't know that he and Ling were thinking about the same problem.

The noisy little circle lasted until the beginning of the second class before dispersing. The four people who tried hard to respond to everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

During lunch time, Tylua-senpai came to the lower grade twin class classroom.

She looked around the classroom by the door and immediately found the targets who were putting four desks together.

Under the surprised gazes of other students, Senior Tiruya slightly expressed her intention to disturb her and walked straight into the classroom.

As the leader of the "Discipline Team" and the vice-president of the student union, Tylua-senpai is as popular as Qiu Ke in another sense.

"Telua-senpai..."

The first person to notice that Senior Tiruya was approaching was Ling, and she quickly stood up from her seat.

"Can I sit here?"

Tirua-senpai gestured to the lunch box in her hand. She usually went to moonbath with her friends in the same grade and prepared a rare lunch today.

"Uh-huh."

Ling moved her seat to the side, and Senior Tiruya sat next to her.

Everyone in the student union already knew the fact that Ling was injured, but Qiu Ke didn't say it in front of the whole class because of various considerations.

It was deliberately chosen when most of the students were not in the classroom. Everyone thought that Tiruya-senpai was here for that matter.

"Has the wound healed?"

As expected, this issue is what Tylua-senpai is most concerned about.

"Well, Tylua-senpai, thank you for the text message you sent at that time."

Senior Tiruya sent a text message to Luoluo, and Luoluo also read it to Ling after she woke up.

"After all, during your absence, the atmosphere in the 'Discipline Team' was a bit restless."

"It's really causing trouble..."

Ling smiled bitterly and apologized.

"Does Ling act like he's aloof in the 'Feng Ji Group'?"

Aika was more concerned about another point in Tylua-senpai's words.

Everyone only knows that the activities of the "Discipline Team" are to maintain order in Shuoyue Academy, a student organization similar to the student union.

When Ling first joined the "Discipline Team", because the team leader was senior Tiruya, the misunderstanding between the two had not been resolved at that time, so Ling was resistant to this matter.

But in the end, in order to accept the "challenge" of Senior Tiruya, Ling decided to become a member of the "Discipline Team", and inevitably spent half a year with Senior Tiruya.

At the beginning of the winter vacation of the first semester, Ling was unilaterally invited by senior Tiruya, and finally the relationship was restored to the normal relationship between seniors and seniors.

"What do you mean by 'arrogant'?" Hearing Aika's description of herself, Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Is this how you view me?"

"Sorry, sorry, the statement is not accurate..." Aika quickly smiled and comforted the excited Ling, "Your absence seems to have a great impact on the 'Feng Ji Group', so I was wondering if you would also learn from Tiruya. Just like a sister..."

"Teruya-senpai and I are completely different..."

After Aika defended himself, Ling finally understood his unclear meaning, and the aggrieved atmosphere disappeared.

"About the same," however, senior Tiluya who was also sitting together gave a different answer, "Ling's thinking is very flexible and his organizational skills are very strong. His swordsmanship is also above the average level of the 'Discipline Group'. Such a talent Even the student council would like it."

"I'm not that kind of person..."

Ling may not really see herself the way Tiruya-senpai does. Tiruya-senpai's impression of her is actually not much different from everyone's impression of her.

But the only difference is that as a family member, "everyone" understands the depths of Ling better than Tiruya-senpai.

Ling, who appears to be perfect on the outside, is actually just a girl who is delicate on the inside but good at showing off her strength.

It’s not that she “likes” showing off her strength, but that she’s “good at” showing off her strength, so it wasn’t until they lived together for such a long time that Aika, who was closest to her, saw the true face behind Ling’s mask.

In the "Discipline Team", Ling has never made any willful noises, right? You have never shed tears, right? Because her disguise was so perfect that it was unreal, Aika, who had been with her day and night, could detect it.

"There are currently no first-year students in the 'Discipline Team', and this year's recruitment should begin soon."

"This means that……"

Ling immediately realized the meaning of Tiruya-senpai's words, and Tiruya-senpai nodded.

"Well, the third-year students are about to retire. This is what I want to tell you here today."

"Why am I the only one..."

"I want you to take my place."

"Eh?"

"Become the leader of the 'Discipline Group'. You can definitely do it. This is also the common hope of everyone in the 'Discipline Group'."

"P-please wait a minute, I have no idea!"

"In order to dispel everyone's worries about what you are doing in the imperial capital during this period, I took it upon myself to make this matter a topic."

Tirua-senpai smiled as if she had succeeded in mischief.

"But there is no way I can do what Tiruya-senpai did!"

"No one could do it at the beginning. In the six months since you didn't join me, I just took over this position from a friend and tried to do it. I failed countless times, but in the end I persisted and reached my goal. Consider it a satisfactory step.”

"but……"

"I told you a long time ago that I am only temporarily borrowing this position. Once someone appears who can truly stand here, I will step aside from this position."

Although Senior Tiruya clearly forced Ling to inherit the position of leader of the "Discipline Team" from her, placing such high hopes on her was equivalent to not giving her a chance to refuse.

"Take some time to think about it."

There's still more than half of the lunch break left. After finishing lunch, Tylua-senpai said goodbye to everyone and left the twin class classroom. But Ling basically didn't move his chopsticks.

"Sister Ling, when Qiu Ke came to ask me to be the organizing committee member of the 'Moon Flower Festival', I hesitated for a long time. But Teacher Letika said to me, 'I can stand in that position only because of everyone's recommendation. So you have to have confidence in yourself,' so I tried to work hard."

When Luoluo became the organizing committee member of the "Moon Flower Festival", he also placed the hope of the whole class. At that time, she did not escape, but spent time with her family in exchange for the success of the "Moonflower Festival".

The words coming from the mouth of Luo Luo, who worked so hard, deeply touched Ling's heart.

"...I'll think about it first."

Ling no longer refused blindly, she began to try to come up with an answer that was entirely her own.
