Endless Silver Machine

Coming to the living room from the second floor, there is a fragrance different from shampoo and shower gel wafting in the living room.

They had already changed into pajamas and were studying several small bottles they brought back from unknown time.

Aika sat down next to Luoluo, and the herbal-like fragrance became even stronger.

"Are these cosmetics?"

"It's perfume, something I mixed up randomly during class."

"It turns out to be the smell of perfume."

Aika doesn't know the difference between perfume and cosmetics.

"I really regret not choosing the Pharmacy Department. At least it's much more interesting than the Assault Department."

"It's a tradition in the Assault Section to be the leader of the Discipline Section, and didn't you also do a good job there?"

"That's just because of various reasons. I have to set an example... I just chose the Assault Division as a matter of course. There was nothing I could do."

"By the way, the pharmacy department can still do this kind of thing. It's far different from what I imagined."

"No, brother Aika, Luoluo made it with the remaining materials in his spare time..."

"A random sideshow? It's really cool, Luoluo."

"Hehe, in fact, the potion with only the fragrance left is a failure..."

It was obviously a perfume at the beginning, but now Luoluo humbly and secretly replaced the concept with it.

The braid tied with a pink hair tie slid down her shoulders with her crossed fingers.

Unlike the light fragrance of herbs, the scent of shampoo is closer to ripe fruit.

"Ah, does this smell weird..."

Stimulated by the sudden change in fragrance, Aika couldn't help but take a deep breath.

I don’t know why this detail was noticed by Luo Luo.

"I just put a little bit on the back of my hand..."

"No, no, it smells good."

Aika quickly gave up Luoluo's idea of ​​wanting to stay away from her.

"is that so……"

Luoluo's hands that were originally supporting the sofa and trying to move away were put back on his knees, and he said with a stiff expression.

Although he knew that Aika would definitely say this, Luoluo couldn't believe him just because of such words recently.

This kind of unwarranted suspicion has a different meaning than trust, and Luo Luo knows this.

Rather than doubting whether his words were biased in his favor, it was more about doubting himself.

Does anything look strange about you? Did you say something strange just now? There are many questions like this.

Luoluo knew the reason why this happened, but he had not yet adjusted his mentality.

This kind of mood was born in Luoluo when he was a child. At that time, the only person he realized was himself.

However, we are no longer in the "childhood" period when we were ignorant of any concepts.

…………

On the other side, the topic discussed by Ling and Wei Xi changed direction unknowingly.

Because the natural and unusual intimacy between Aika and Luoluo has developed to the point where it cannot be ignored.

Ling had no intention of intervening between the two of them, and she shouldn't have done so either emotionally or rationally.

Because Luoluo has promised to give up that rare opportunity...

Moreover, this is an agreement only established between girls, and competition is absolutely fair.

However, Ling noticed that Wei Xi glanced over there from time to time.

"Do you care?"

"...I don't care that much..."

"There's absolutely no room for intervention in that kind of atmosphere."

Luo Luo and Wei Xi both seemed to be ready, but Ling was still at a loss.

Perhaps, he was not regarded as a girl by Aika.

"..."

Now that things have happened, Ling will no longer worry about his position in this family.

Maybe I really haven't done anything that my family should do, and taking care of children younger than myself should be a matter of course.

However, Aika considers this idea to be a conceit riddled with contradictions.

He repudiated the values ​​against which he had always measured himself while living here.

——"Things a family should do", that is not a condition for being a "family".

——"Things that family members should do" must only be done by "family members".

This was a "sophistry" that Ling could accept, or used as an excuse for himself to accept.

However, this is not enough.

Even now, my greedy self is still asking for more.

"Sister Ling?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I was in a daze for a while."

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"It doesn't matter, compared to this kind of thing..."

After noticing Wei Xi's gaze for the first time, Ling wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

But she doesn’t want to become a “bad woman” that she even looks down on.

"...Come on."

In the end, he didn't give Wei Xi any advice, but he still indirectly used her.

In this way, there are only two-thirds of the "bad women".

…………

"Brother Aika!"

"Wei Xi?"

"Then, um... do you have time to listen to my story now?"

After Wei Xi finished speaking, she pursed her lips tightly and looked at Aika.

Her eyes glanced at Luoluo for a moment, but Aika didn't notice.

Aika originally thought that Wei Xi didn't want to touch on this topic again, so she had no intention of bringing it up again.

I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to talk about this topic.

"By the way, brother, why do you think Xiao Xi looks like a human?"

"Isn't Wei Xi herself more aware of this kind of thing?"

"That...I don't know either..."

"Do not you know?"

"I just talked about this problem in the bathroom. It seems like it happened when I was unconscious."

"If I don't know it myself, it's even less likely that we will know it, not to mention that Principal Phyllis also said that there is no precedent."

Aika briefly imagined the scene when Wei Xi awakened from the ruins.

The snow-colored little fairy is like a newborn baby, holding its body and being wrapped in snow-colored light.

At this time, Aika suddenly thought of a hypothesis.

"Wei Xi, do you know other magic costumes?"

"Eh?"

"That is to say, can you talk to other magic costumes, or do things like telepathy?"

"It should have been done before..."

"Can it really be done?"

Aika originally just asked a question on a whim, but she didn't expect that such a whimsical thing could really be done.

"But it shouldn't be possible now..." Wei Xi said apologetically, "When the Light Flame Sword woke up, I didn't notice..."

"This shows that you have completely become a 'useless' human being."

Ling, who was sitting next to Wei Xi with her head hanging down, touched her head and specially emphasized the word "useless".

"Yes, it has become 'useless'..."

Aika smiled and watched Wei Xi cheer up. To be honest, it didn't matter whether she could do that kind of thing.

"By the way, the child named 'Lingyin' in your memories..."

"That child is Liuyin now, right?"

Ling helped Wei Xi answer Aika's question before he could ask it.

Anyone would care about the person who occupies such an important position in Wei Xi's memories.

More importantly, that child looks very similar to the Liuyin everyone knows, but his personality is slightly different.

Although she also protects Wei Xi like her sister, she is more approachable and approachable than now.

"Xiaoyin became a little stubborn because of what happened..."

"Because you saved her, do you want to repay your favor?"

"That's not the main reason. If it's just to repay the favor, you don't have to risk everything to fight like that."

Ling was referring to the night when Liuyin came to recapture Wei Xi as an enforcer of the Holy See.

At that time, Liuyin probably did not put her own life first. Wei Xi was the only one in her eyes and heart.

"I talked to her at Shimotsuki Academy, and she also came to see you later, right?"

Aika exposed Liuyin's abnormal persistence when he entered school, and Weixi was in danger in the Tebiri Kingdom, which made Liuyin understand the limit of his over-protection.

After Wei Xi returned to Shuoyue Academy, Liu Yin thought a lot and finally made up his mind to appear in front of her.

After coming to this world from a country a hundred years ago, Liuyin met Wei Xi honestly for the first time, but Wei Xi didn't realize it at that time.

Before recovering the memory that she had actively sealed, Wei Xi always thought that this persistent concern was just a continuation of her childhood, mixed with feelings beyond love.

It was only now that Wei Xi realized how heavy a responsibility Liuyin was carrying in her relationship with her.

"In that case, does Xiaoyin still remember what happened in Setia Principality?"

"If you say so..."

"Brother, do you really think so too?"

"It's understandable if you explain it this way..."

Aika looked at Wei Xi, she should have noticed it when she regained her memory.

But she remained silent until Luo Luo spoke up.

Liuyin, who is far away in the Holy See, still doesn't know that Weixi has recovered her past memories.

"Wei Xi, are you going to tell Liu Yin all this?"

Wei Xi secretly glanced at everyone, then her eyes returned to her fingers.

Regardless of whether Liuyin is told that the truth she deliberately concealed has been exposed, the way the two interact with each other will not change.

Compared to Liuyin, who already knew everything, Weixi, who had just learned about the true relationship between the two not long ago, was even more confused.

"I want to tell her..."

After the silence, Wei Xi had simulated the reunion scene countless times in her mind and gave a firm answer, putting aside her worries.

For Wei Xi, this family, friendship and romance spanning a hundred years have a deeper interpretation than everyone here.

She stood up from the sofa with her PDA in hand.

"Thank you...Sister Ling, Luoluo, Brother Aika..."

"Well, you go ahead."

Aika nodded to Wei Xi, and Luoluo and Ling also acquiesced to her departure.

Wei Xi, who had a tense and serious expression, bowed to everyone again, and then quickly walked up the stairs with brisk steps.

"We don't need to worry about Wei Xi's matter anymore, Liu Yin should take care of it."

Aika was still thinking about another thing that he didn't want Wei Xi to hear, and he glanced at Luo Luo.

Luoluo understood immediately. Since it was a topic that didn't require his presence, it was probably a topic that he didn't want to pay attention to.

"Then I'll go back first," she began to put the bottles on the table into the wooden boxes with grids next to them. "Brother, sister Ling, good night."

After giving slight greetings to the remaining two people, Luo Luo also left the living room.

The eye contact between Aika and Luoluo was seen by Ling, who was sitting beside them.
