Endless Silver Machine

Hitomi, who was sitting quietly on Aika's legs, whispered "I'm going back" without any warning, and immediately disappeared from sight after leaving Aika's legs.

Immediately afterwards, the cabin door of the cab was pushed open from the outside. Aika turned around, and it turned out that Ling had walked in.

Aika did not continue to delve into the reason why Hitomi suddenly returned to the spiritual world, and left the driver's seat and walked towards Ling's side.

"Aren't you and Liuyin taking care of Wei Xi?"

"Liuyin is alone over there. She and I will come over to see if there is anything you need help with."

"'she'?"

Aika's puzzled question seemed that she really didn't know who the person Ling was talking about. Ling, who felt something was wrong, immediately turned around and looked behind him. Guang's figure had quietly disappeared without knowing when.

"That guy!"

Seeing Ling's left and right figures looking for someone and her unhappy expression, Aika guessed that it probably had something to do with her magical equipment.

"Hitomi was here just now, but she has already gone back over there."

"I just said she wanted to come here to have a look, but as I walked, the person disappeared."

Aika and Ling's magic costumes left here, leaving the two of them alone in the cab. The result was the same as Liuyin expected, and it ended up being like this.

Ling originally thought of diverting Aika's attention with the light that followed, but the light that saw through her plan had already quietly left, so this method naturally didn't work.

Aika didn't seem to notice the emotional changes in Ling's heart, and started talking without permission.

"At this speed, we should be able to see the World Tree we are looking for tomorrow afternoon."

"Is this what Hitomi said?"

"Um."

Aika walked up the stairs to the driver's platform, and Ling also followed Aika up the steps. They stood on a high place and looked at the blue sky outside "Yuktra Hill" together.

"There is nothing..."

Everyone has been looking at the same scenery for two days, a blue sky with nothing but clouds.

"Looking at this scenery, no matter how impatient you are, you will calm down."

"Is this why you sat here and stared at the sky for so long?"

"When you look at it, you'll feel like your consciousness is being separated from your body... So you probably won't be able to feel it. Just come and try it and you will know."

"I don't want to experience such a weird feeling myself, it sounds very uncomfortable."

Lingzui rejected Aika's "kind invitation" without hesitation, but when she looked at the vast world in front of her again, she felt it a little more carefully.

Because there is nothing, nothing can be seen, nothing can be touched, it seems like I am the only one left in the world. In such a world, there is nothing that must be pursued vigorously, and complex emotions will naturally not be born.

This is probably the ethereal feeling Aika described.

"It's exactly what you said..."

"Right."

The anxiety and recklessness of a few days ago have disappeared from Aika's body. He spoke now as if he had calmed down while looking at the scenery in front of him. In fact, it was Ling's crying and slapping that probably woke him up at that time.

"The one before..."

"What did you say?"

"You haven't forgotten that I beat you when we were in the imperial capital, right?"

"I can't forget it even if I want to."

"Don't forget!" Ling's voice increased slightly, then quickly returned to normal, "Don't forget a word of what I said..."

Recalling how she cried so hard at that time, Ling felt more and more ashamed as she talked.

But she still insisted on bringing up the old things in front of Aika. Even though he was so ashamed that he couldn't forget what happened at that time.

Now that Aika has seen her most shameful appearance, it doesn't matter if she is seen more.

"So it's impossible to forget, right?" Aika could clearly see Ling trying to endure, but he didn't care about her at all. "You said you didn't want to see me lose, so I have to work hard first. Just don’t lose to yourself.”

——I don’t want to see you lose! Please don't make me despair...

To this day, what Ling cares about most is the last words he left for Aika. The previous words are all in the name of "everyone", but this sentence is the appeal to Aika in the identity of the girl Ling.

I don’t know whether Aika did it intentionally or unintentionally, but she directly said the sentence she least wanted to recall. Even when he heard the words he had said again from his mouth, his brain felt like it was shutting down.

It seems that he has been scolded by the girls around him more times than he was scolded by his father before leaving home. Aika couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I have seriously reflected on it during this period. At that time, because of Luoluo and Wei Xi's incident, I didn't control my emotions well, and as a result, you cried."

"no……"

"Although I may not be able to do anything for you now, I hope you can allow me to use my time to make up for it slowly in the future."

"The next time..."

"The time we spend together will be very long in the future, won't we?" Aika was full of confidence in the unknown future. Only extremely confident people can say such completely unfounded words with such certainty, "Wei Xi wakes up After that, let’s bring Luo Luo back and then go home together.”

"Where did you get such excessive self-confidence..."

Aika's "bold words" made Lingdu laugh to tears. However, Ling also smiled and hoped from the bottom of his heart that the future described by Aika could become a reality.

"After finding the World Tree, Misty will take us to the stronghold of the Nemesis Society, and Lolo may also be there. If you really see Lolo then, what will you do?"

This question is full of temptation.

"If the stupid sister can't listen to what I say, I can only use force to get her back. As for whether she will be angry later... In short, as long as she apologizes, it will be fine, right?"

"Not all problems can be solved with an apology." The answer was as expected, but there was a little more rational consideration in the answer, which made Ling very satisfied. "Misty said that maybe the only people left there should be That leaves their eldest sister. If we only use her as our opponent, you and I plus Liu Yin will always be able to find a way."

"You just asked me where I got so much confidence? It's because you are by my side that I feel like I will find a way no matter what."

Aika laughed without any pretense, but Ling felt like she was digging a hole by herself.

"Don't be so proud of saying that kind of thing..."

There was a thick and rich atmosphere of charm brewing between Aika and Ling from beginning to end, but the next second it was completely blown away by the sound that suddenly broke into the space between the two of them.

"Time is up."

"Oh, I originally wanted to buy you a little more time, but Hitomi can't stop me no matter what."

Aika and Ling hurriedly looked away from each other and turned their heads to look behind them.

When the two of them appeared there, Aika and Ling, who were immersed in their world, had no idea.

Hitomi walked quickly to Aika's side in three steps at a time, and hugged his arm as if declaring ownership.

"Hey, did I say that you two are colluding?"

Ling's expression and tone declared that she was 100% on the verge of anger.

Hitomi and Hikaru left at the same time, and jumped in at the same time, looking at it as if they had planned it in advance.

"No. Hitomi and I have different spiritual worlds. We are completely outsiders."

"You've stayed here too long."

The implication of Hitomi's words is that the eviction order cannot be refused. It seems that she returned to that world because Ling and Guang came here before, but after waiting for a long time before Ling left here, she couldn't help but come out.

"Hitomi, it's rare for us to have this kind of time to relax and get together. Isn't this not a bad thing? Speaking of which, everyone has been busy with their own things in the past two days. Except for eating, they don't seem to sit down and chat leisurely. chat."

Aika, Ling, Hitomi, Hikaru, Liuyin, the sleeping Wei Xi, and Wil and Misty who are not included as "talking partners", this is indeed a rare combination.

At this critical moment, perhaps everyone is really nervous and has no time to chat about pleasant things after dinner. But occasionally when I think about this, I can't help but feel a little concerned and feel a little lonely.

"That kind of leisurely moment should wait until the incident is over. It will be very tiring to force a happy face." Hikari approached Hitomi without making any footsteps, grabbed her armpits and picked her up, "Okay Okay, Hitomi, please stop disturbing the two masters."

"If you don't let go, will you die?"

"If something goes wrong here, it will be very troublesome for both you and my master."

I don’t know if she really took this reason into consideration, but this time Hitomi was carried away by Hikaru without any resistance.

"Anyway, I just came here for a casual look. If nothing happens, you can rest assured." Ling seemed to be disturbed and had no intention of staying here for a long time. "Hitomi, even if you are Aika's sister, I will leave you alone." His distance is still too close."

Ling still maintained her "elegant smile", but her eyes and silent pupils collided with invisible sparks.

Hikaru, who was holding Hitomi, was innocently involved in the collision between the eyes of the two girls.

"It seems that even after all time is over, there will definitely not be a peaceful future."

"I heard the noise from you guys, what happened?"

Even Liu Yin passing by the door was attracted by the sound.

In a sense, it has indeed fulfilled Aika's wish not long ago that "everyone can get together in their leisure time."
