Endless Silver Machine

After learning that this unknown ruins was the birthplace of Wei Xi, the exploration of the ruins of Shimozuki Academy has come to an end, and "Mistis" is preparing to return in the evening.

All members of this investigation team must write an investigation report. This is an after-school assignment left by instructor Letika.

However, after experiencing various things in the ruins, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally.

"There is still one day left for the return trip, so I can write tomorrow. Just relax tonight."

Instructor Letika also noticed everyone's fatigue. After suggesting with a smile, she and Instructor Wilber went to the conference room to attend the instructor meeting.

After having dinner together in the restaurant, the girls all piled into the shower room.

"That's right, Xiao Xi."

"Eh……"

"Can I touch your body?"

"Eh?"

Wei Xi instinctively felt the danger from Ling's words. With only her underwear on her body, she hugged the uniform she had just taken off tightly to her chest.

"Sister Ling, are you still concerned about that issue..."

Only Luoluo knew what was going on in Ling's head.

"what are you guys saying?"

"I'm just a little worried that Xiao Xi's body has changed!"

Ling is still making excuses for his behavior.

After knowing that Ling was just worried about herself, the nervous Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just remembered some old things, and my body seems to be no different from before..."

Ling seemed to finally accept Wei Xi's statement, and she nodded thoughtfully.

After the girls took off their uniforms, Wei Xi chose the innermost room.

Then from the inside to the outside are Luoluo, Ling and Tilua-senpai.

In this small shower room, everyone has thought about problems worth worrying about.

Wei Xi could not accept her bad habit of always feeling sorry for herself, and reminded herself deep in her heart that she must cheer up.

Ling encouraged Luoluo, who was afraid of knowing Aika's true feelings, and gave her motivation behind Luoluo's back.

Tylua-senpai was determined to ask her instructors about the meaning of this operation.

The investigation report that Teacher Letika asked everyone to write is about what everyone paid and what they got during this exploration of the ruins.

"Um..." Wei Xi suddenly asked in a voice that everyone could hear, "Does everyone care about my body..."

The shower room suddenly became silent, and the suddenly quiet space made Wei Xi explain the problem she just had in panic.

"I mean...well...don't you care a little bit about the differences between me and humans..."

"Xiao Xi, you are actually the one you care about the most, right?"

"How, how could..."

Luo Luo's accusation with a helpless smile made Wei Xi's voice gradually become smaller, and finally was completely covered by the sound of the shower water.

"I'll be a little concerned, but it doesn't look like I'm an unknown person, so that's okay."

Ling admitted frankly and at the same time comforted Wei Xi in her own way not to mind, although she had tried to check Wei Xi's body a few minutes ago.

"Ling probably means 'Wei Xi's position in his heart will never change'."

Senior Tiruya smiled and translated Ling's words with her own understanding. Because she was just speaking on behalf of Ling, senior Tiruya didn't feel very shy.

Ling wanted to defend herself reflexively, but in the end she didn't speak out, and just acquiesced to what Senior Tiruya said.

"Thanks……"

"By the way, did Senior Tiruya write that investigation report?"

"Sorry, this is my first time writing too."

Senior Tiluya, who just entered the third grade this year, is not yet able to provide advice to Lolo.

"I have no clue at all..."

Ling couldn't remember the last time she wrote such a long article. She seemed to have written a review during the magic theory class?

"Wouldn't the content written by members of the same team be similar..."

"Teacher Letika emphasized before that the main content of the report is personal experience, and everyone's experience should be different. Student Wei Xi, your experience and mine may be very different."

"Of course I can't compare with Tiruya-senpai..."

"Aika-kun may also have his own ideas."

"..."

When Senior Tiruya said this, Wei Xi recalled the time when she avoided Aika because of shyness, which ended up causing him trouble.

When Aika hugged her shoulders and legs, Wei Xi wanted to push him away and reject him.

Knowing her own mood but still doing such a thing, even the resigned Wei Xi would feel awkward in her heart.

But the quarrel can only be limited to the heart. In reality, I have not made any resistance.

——From Brother Aika’s point of view, he seems to be very happy...

Wei Xi didn't want Aika to think that she was the kind of child who would be happy just by coaxing her, even if she had confessed to him...

Wei Xi's body couldn't help but feel a little hot at the thought of hysterically saying shameless words in front of him.

It was all the fault of the water being too hot, and my head got hot as a result...

Wei Xi stood on tiptoes and pressed the button that controlled the water temperature down several times.

While they were thinking wildly, Luoluo and Ling were asking Senior Sister Letika about what happened to Mentor Letika's team in the ruins.

"...Anyway, those two third-level monsters suddenly appeared."

Tirua-senpai didn't tell her juniors about the accident where Teacher Letika was tripped. Teacher Letika must also want to seal this dark history.

However, the third-level monsters alone were enough to attract the attention of the younger generations. What Luoluo and Ling met were all second-tier monsters.

"Teacher Letika said they were attracted by the burst of magic power. The third-level monsters are very sensitive to magic power."

"Did that burst of magic power refer to Sister Ling's 'Blazing Red Lotus'?"

"Come to think of it, at that time we were...I'm sorry..."

The time when Senior Tiruya encountered the monster was just after Ling and Luoluo worked together to defeat the bull-shaped monster. Ling did not expect that he would also cause trouble to instructor Letika's team. Now he can only sincerely apologize to the two team members.

Luoluo just accidentally exposed Ling's mistake, and even she was very embarrassed and apologized with Ling.

But since everyone was in the shower stall, neither could see each other's faces, so it didn't turn into a very awkward apology scene.

Tirua-senpai also said that this kind of situation often happens when we act together, so don't worry about it.

"But we didn't feel there was any fighting nearby."

Luoluo's impression of the battle with the third-level monsters was the time when Aika saved senior Lilith. Even the direction of the dormitory could feel the intensity of the battle.

"That's because Wei Xi-san deployed the 'field' before the battle started, so we can fight with confidence. Wei Xi-san maintained the 'field' while also using other barrier magic to support us. She is the one who The biggest contributor.”

"How, how could it be...I haven't fully accomplished what I can do..."

Wei Xi just listened silently as an audience for Senior Tiruya. She was not satisfied with her performance in that battle, so she did not participate in their conversation.

Already possessing the self-awareness of being a magic suit of Aika, Wei Xi knew that she could have done better in that battle. If he fights with all his strength, he can end the battle unscathed within a few minutes.

But at that time, Wei Xi thought that this was her limit, and she even looked ugly in front of everyone because she was afraid of being eaten by "worms".

So when Senior Tiruya suddenly called herself a "hero", Wei Xi naturally couldn't accept such a praise.

"'I didn't do it completely' and 'I tried my best' are two different things. 'I tried my best' doesn't necessarily mean I can 'do it completely'. Besides, you are the kind of person who will do your best in everything, right?"

"I also believe that Xiao Xi has tried her best."

"And Xiao Xi, I told you not to be too modest, right? Disobedient children will be punished."

"Woo..."

You don't need to see Wei Xi's expression, but you can tell from the moans she inadvertently leaked that she was scared because of Ling's words.

"Sister Ling, don't always bully Xiao Xi..."

"Does Ling often bully Wei Xi at home?"

Senior Tiruya knew that this kind of "bullying" was just for fun, but what surprised her was that Ling actually had such a side.

In Shimozuki Academy and the Feng Ji Group, Lingdu feels like a flower on the high mountain.

So she was very curious about how Ling "bullied" Wei Xi.

"Telua-senpai, this is just a misunderstanding!"

"Where is classmate Wei Xi? If Ling bullies you, I will educate her well."

Of course, it is impossible to truly "educate" Ling. Senior Tiruya is just trying to trick Wei Xi, who is easy to talk to.

Ling and Wei Xi were separated by two layers of partitions and Luo Luo. She could not guarantee that Wei Xi would not leak the secret between the two.

"No...bullying..."

Fortunately, Wei Xi didn't say anything she shouldn't have said.

Although she still cannot understand the actual meaning of some things, girls will feel shy and will not say it casually.

"Sister Ling is just... education..."

Seemingly thinking that this perfunctory answer was not polite to Tylua-senpai who asked the question, Wei Xi added additional explanations in a very low voice.

"Education? Just don't be too harsh."

If this is the case, Tylua-senpai can understand. Preaching does seem like something Ling would do.

Luoluo seemed to simply understand "education" as "preaching" and no longer dwelled on this issue.

In fact, Ling's "punishment" was limited to the night before the "Moon Flower Festival" at Shuoyue Academy, and she never did that kind of thing to Wei Xi again.

Ling was different from Wei Xi. She understood the meaning of that kind of behavior, and the girl's reserve made it difficult for her to talk about that "love affair in the bathroom."

In the end, Ling used the expression "devastated" to prevent herself from hitting the wall in shame.

"By the way, isn't it almost time for us to go out?"

"It's true that taking a shower for too long is not good for your health."

Everyone noticed the current time only after Ling reminded them. After turning off the water valve, the only sound left in the shower was the crisp sound of water droplets dripping on the tiles.

"It's rare to see this kind of shower device in Shimozuki Academy..."

Wei Xi seemed a little reluctant to leave.

Girls can probably understand her feelings. The small cubicle and the spacious bathroom each have different charms.

"It's in the preparation room of the swimming pool. Have you never been there?"

"Telua-senpai, is there a place like this for a swimming pool?"

"Of course there is, haven't you been there yet?"

"I never thought about swimming..."

Luoluo recalled the swimming experiences in her memory, and there were only a handful of times that she could still remember.

The first time was at the beach in the East District of the Imperial Capital. The pure white swimsuit she bought in the Eastern District of the Imperial Capital is still stored in the closet in her room.

Most of that time was not spent swimming. Wei Xi fainted due to heatstroke, and all the members were beginners. Practicing fetching does not seem to be considered swimming, right?

The second time was in Lilith-senpai's mansion, where she put on a very high-end swimsuit.

It was the first time she tried to challenge a bikini, and it was a bold black color. Luo Luo still can’t believe that she has done such an amazing thing.

"Don't keep occupying the preparation room just because you are curious."

"Ahaha... I will remind everyone to pay attention."

"You may say so, but in fact Luoluo is really looking forward to it."

"Sister Ling! I didn't expect that!"

"Oh, really?"

"it is true!"

Ling took a small revenge on Luo Luo, and it was very successful.
