Endless Silver Machine

"You are finally the only one left here."

Aika raised her head and saw a familiar guy sitting in Wei Xi's seat.

"Why did you come to such a deserted place?"

Aika muttered angrily to the person approaching.

If you talk about the boy in the twin class who is closest to Aika, everyone will think of Carlo.

Why did this person with the unique demeanor of the God Clan, who was like a noble son, develop such a relationship with me now? He is obviously in a superior condition, and he is the kind of person who shines brightly when looking at the academy.

"What does it matter?" Carlo shrugged with a cynical expression, "By the way, Wei Xi was made to cry by you just now, but I saw it all."

"Please don't always look in our direction. Even if you see something, don't say it out loud."

Aika ignored the pestering Carlo, and his attention was always on the pure white back in the front row. Because he promised her that he would always witness her efforts.

Although Wei Xi was still timid when she first approached, the girls in her class accepted her immediately. Now, Wei Xi has completely integrated into the circle in the front row, and there should be no need to worry anymore.

After feeling relieved, Aika turned his attention back to Carlo.

“You know what this rally is going to be about?”

"Of course I don't know!"

Although Carlo spoke confidently, Aika felt the lie in his eyes. This skill of observing words and emotions was something I learned from Shun in the past, but I didn't expect that it would actually be useful one day.

"Oh, is it so……"

Now that he said that, there was no need for him to get to the bottom of it. Everyone has their own secrets, and only by maintaining the boundaries between each other can we continue to interact normally.

The central square gradually became quiet, and several people were already standing on the high platform opposite.

…………

Luoluo noticed that the lively atmosphere in the venue had cooled down, and his eyes naturally moved to the high platform on the opposite side where the speaker was sitting.

"Could that person in the middle be..."

The girl in the middle, surrounded by several senior students, was the friend who was chatting with everyone in the classroom yesterday.

"Qiu Ke is the student council president, don't you know?"

"No, no, no, you haven't mentioned it at all."

Luo Luo waved his hand as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

"What's up with that red guy?"

"Ling, your eyes suddenly become so scary!"

The classmates around him trembled in fright at Ling's sudden change of tone.

"Are you referring to Tylua-senpai? She is the vice-president of the student union."

"Besides, Sister Tirua is also the leader of the Discipline Team, she is so handsome!"

Ling didn't expect to meet Tiruya again on such an occasion, and she was not only the senior sister of Shuoyue Academy, but also the vice president of the student union and the leader of the discipline group she wanted to join?

For a moment, no words came out of Ling's dry throat. After a long time...

"Whatever happens to her has nothing to do with me."

"Although I don't know what happened between you and Senior Tiruya..." the girl on the side asked cautiously, "Then will you still go to the discipline team?"

"Of course I'll go!"

That being said, this is just because for Ling, there is no other answer. If he said he gave up joining the Discipline Team in this situation, it would be like he was avoiding Tirua.

Never look like that!

…………

Qiu Ke coughed lightly in order to test the loudspeaker. Taking this as a signal, everyone's attention shifted to the high platform.

"Well... Anyway, good morning everyone!"

"Good morning, President!"

"Good morning, Xiao Qiuke!"

"President! President!"

The entire venue instantly responded to Qiu Ke's silly opening remarks with a boiling volume.

"Well... I'm sorry for calling everyone here so early. There is something very important that I must let everyone know right away."

"Shimoyue Academy is surrounded by primeval forests on three sides. In order to prevent dangerous monsters from breaking in, the academy has always been protected by barriers, but..." Qiu Ke paused, and the venue remained silent, waiting for her next step. In the words, "For unknown reasons, the device that maintains the barrier stopped operating. Although the instructors began to repair it immediately, it is expected to take about a week to repair. During this period, there is no guarantee that individual monsters will not get into this Neutral.”

"Our ethics team will strengthen inspections of Shimozuki Academy during this period." Tiruya on the side took over Qiu Ke's words, "Part of the restrictions in Shimozuki Academy will be activated during this period. Ordinary students are grouped into groups of three to four. We should carry out daily activities in groups, try not to be alone, and allow the use of magic in the academy when threats are found. Of course, it is forbidden to use magic for improper reasons. I believe everyone should be very clear, so I will not repeat it here."

…………

Ling listened blankly to Tiruya's heroic speech. At this moment, she even forgot about her discord with Tiluya.

Here, she saw a completely different side of Tiruya than she had in her impression.

"Sister Ling?"

Wei Xi looked at Ling with a complicated expression in confusion. It was impossible for her to understand how Ling was feeling now.

If you don't care about anyone particularly, the impact will not be so great.

…………

The whole meeting was just to convey this one thing, and it broke up after a short time. As a result, classes this week have been canceled and changed to free activities.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the candidates for Aika's team. They have already made a tacit decision among themselves.

Later, Aika received part-time applications for four people from instructor Letika.

Although safety issues were emphasized many times at the rally, it is of course impossible for everyone to act together all day long. Aika made an agreement with them to contact them immediately via PDA when something happened, and then they separated in front of the teaching building.

Where should we go next? The application form should also be submitted as soon as possible. It would be great if anyone knows how to fill in the above rules.

Sure enough, I can only ask my seniors for advice.

The number of people who came to the big library today was much more unexpected. It was clear that the meeting had just ended, and there was no empty space within sight of the reception hall. Probably because it is more suitable for students to gather together. Places with many people tend to create a feeling of peace of mind.

Aika looked towards the registration desk, and there was a strange senior sitting there.

Since Senior Sister Lilith is not here, there is no point in continuing to stay here.

Just when Aika was about to turn around and leave, she bumped into someone coming from behind.

"oops!"

The man who was knocked down let out a soft cry.

Because he was completely unprepared, Aika staggered, and his body fell forward according to the inertia.

Aika did not feel the hard touch of the ground, but the opposite softness, accompanied by the faint scent of purple orchids.

He put his hands on the ground in time to avoid directly pressing on the opponent.

"H-Sorry!"

"No, it's okay. I also have a responsibility, but can you please stand up first..." Senior Sister Lilith twisted her body under Aika with some embarrassment, "Many people are looking here... …”

The reddish cheeks turned to the side in embarrassment.

Aika hurriedly moved away from her, and there was a burst of laughter from all around.

If he just apologized and ran away, Lilith-senpai who was left behind would be even more embarrassed. So Aika could only put her shame behind her and reached out to her.

Senior Lilith turned her gaze slightly, stood up with Aika's strength, adjusted her uniform casually, and then grabbed the overwhelmed Aika's hand.

"follow me……"

Lilith-senpai said this in a voice that only Aika could hear.

…………

When Aika reacted, she had already been taken to the preparation room deep in the hall by Senior Sister Lilith.

After closing the door, Senior Sister Lilith let go of the hand she had been holding tightly.

It was obviously summer, but Aika miraculously felt no discomfort at all from the warmth remaining in her hands.

"Sorry, Aika-san, I brought you here on my own initiative."

"Originally, the responsibility lies with me, and I made you worry about it, senior sister."

"Anyway, let's take a rest here first. If we go out now, we will become a topic of conversation."

Senior Lilith sat down at the table in the preparation room. She tapped the table lightly and motioned for Aika to sit down as well.

"excuse me……"

Although it was somewhat different from the original plan, it fell into place in an inexplicable place.

"Senior Lilith, this..."

Aika took out the application form that had been folded up in her pocket and placed it in front of Lilith.

"This is...you want to be the librarian of the Great Library?"

"Well, after thinking about it for a long time, I decided this way."

"That's it..."

When the two met for the first time in the big library, Lilith gave him a general introduction to the work of a librarian.

"Then why don't you try it first today?"

Lilith's smile seemed to have a special kind of magic, Aika felt so again.
