Endless Silver Machine

Back to half an hour ago, four girls gathered in Senior Lilith's room, and the pajama party had just begun.

Since I had already told Miss Serit that I would entertain the guests, Senior Lilith is now preparing tea for everyone.

"What is this?" Luoluo picked up the book with a pink cover from the low table where they were sitting. On the cover was a picture of a pair of boys and girls facing each other.

"The forest of Oslo?" Lingye approached Luoluo with interest and read out the title of the book in a low voice, "Is the atmosphere on the cover a romance novel?"

Wei Xi picked up another book on the table. The content inside was displayed in the form of comics. Wei Xi casually turned back a few pages, then suddenly closed the book with a blushing face.

"Huh? What's wrong with Wei Xi?"

"relative……"

"relative?"

"Mouth to mouth..."

"Show me."

Taking the pocket-sized book from Wei Xi's trembling hand, Ling quickly flipped through a few pages. Although she didn't react as big as Wei Xi, her face turned slightly red.

"Sister Ling?"

Luoluo also became curious about the comic. After all, it is difficult to know what the content is in a novel full of text in a short time, but it is easy to understand a comic.

However, as soon as Luoluo leaned over, Ling quickly closed the book in his hand, blushing and inserted the book in his hand into the bookshelf behind him.

"It's just an ordinary shoujo manga."

"Yeah……"

If it was really just an ordinary comic, there would be no need to hide it. Since Ling is so insistent that he doesn't want to know, then just pretend that he doesn't care and try again later if he has a chance...

The aroma of black tea filled the room. Senior Sister Lilith brought the teapot containing the freshly brewed black tea, and then poured about two-thirds of the tea into the teacup with skillful movements.

The noble-looking white porcelain tea set contrasts with the bright red and bright brown colors, showing a hazy beauty of artistic conception.

Senior Lilith also prepared snacks for tea, which were placed on a small plate in the middle of the low table.

"Although I learned how to make tea from Serite, I still can't make it as fragrant as hers. I'm really sorry."

"No, no, no, this level is enough to open a store by myself!"

Ling gently held the tea seat with her left hand, wrapped the fingers of her right hand around the handle of the tea cup, and took a small sip at her mouth. Luoluo and Wei Xi were completely imitating Ling in their holding teacups. They had no knowledge of etiquette in this area.

"Thank you." Senior Sister Lilith held her cheek and thanked Ling for the compliment with a smile, "Besides, I haven't been back here for a long time, and I don't do this kind of thing much."

"Shimozuki Academy is quite far from here."

"This is one of the reasons."

"Senior Lilith, those dolls are so cute..."

Wei Xi suddenly became interested in the stuffed toys neatly arranged on the shelf next to Senior Sister Lilith's bed.

"Sure enough, Wei Xi thinks so too!" Senior Sister Lilith seemed to have finally found a confidant and held Wei Xi's hands. "Selite always laughs at me, saying that someone at my age is not suitable to do anything anymore. They were placed in the room.”

Senior Lilith didn't seem to notice the age difference between Wei Xi and her.

Senior Lilith probably didn't notice it herself, but Luoluo and Ling knew it. Wei Xi's purpose of doing this was to change the subject. Aika has already learned about the bad relationship between Senior Lilith and Mrs. Elise, and the trend of the topic just now may bring out some gloomy things.

In this rare free time, no one is willing to let that kind of thing ruin the peaceful atmosphere at this moment.

Aika said before that he would act within his ability regarding senior Lilith. In this case, just leave it to him. What they need to do is to silently support Aika in different aspects and create conditions for him and Senior Lilith.

For example, right now.

"Before you entered Shimozuki Academy, you lived in the East District, right?"

"Well, the place we lived before seems to be in the opposite direction from here. I judged it from the big clock in the Royal Capital Defense Bureau. I don't know if it is correct."

The building of the Royal Capital Defense Bureau is the tallest building in the entire East District, and the big clock on the roof can be seen from anywhere in the East District. Luoluo remembered that when everyone returned to Liuyin's house, they were heading away from the big clock, but this time they were approaching the big clock, so Luoluo judged it like this.

"That big clock is indeed a good landmark," Senior Sister Lilith nodded, "But that's not a residential area over there?"

"A familiar friend happens to have a house there, so I temporarily stayed at her place before Shimozuki Academy started."

Ling called Liuyin a friend, and both Wei Xi and Luo Luo were surprised for a moment.

Ling Ziran noticed the meaningful smiles between the two of them, and she raised her arms a little embarrassedly, but of course this could not completely cover her slightly red cheeks.

"Hey, that's it."

Senior Lilith had no intention of asking who that friend was, which made Ling sigh in relief.

Regardless of whether Luo Luo and Wei Xi had guessed it or not, he was unwilling to admit their thoughts in person.

"Senior Lilith, what kind of books do you usually read?"

Ling and Wei Xi were stunned when they heard Luo Luo ask this question.

As long as most people see the bookshelf in Senior Lilith's room, they will naturally ask this question. But of course Ling and Wei Xi, who already knew the answer, would not ask. It must not be convenient for Senior Sister Lilith to reveal her secret hobby. She didn’t know that when her back was turned to everyone just now, the low table had no time to close up. The book has been completely exposed.

"Well... mainly classical literature and ordinary romance novels."

Unexpectedly, Senior Lilith gave the answer normally.

Eh? normal? The cartoon just now actually belongs to the ordinary category? No, Lilith-senpai thinks that ordinary ones are just "romance novels" and did not mention "romance comics"...

Luo Luo and Wei Xi were in confusion because they didn't know the so-called answer, but Luo Luo certainly wouldn't care about such small details.

"It's a romance novel. Sure enough, Lilith-senpai is also interested in love?"

"This should be the biggest dream of a girl's life," Senior Sister Lilith said with a longing face, "But the novel is just an imaginary story after all. The story it depicts is too beautiful, just like a dream. Same."

"Senior Lilith, do you have someone you like in real life?"

"There are many people who like it."

"No, no, I mean..."

"If it's the kind of love that presupposes marriage, then it really doesn't exist."

Senior Lilith answered Ling's question in this way.

"So, is there anyone you care about..."

Wei Xi still didn't give up. When the topic of love was brought up, her eyes visibly lit up.

"Well..." Senior Sister Lilith held her chin and thought for a while, "If you really want to say it, yes..."

"Eh? Is he a boy of the same age? Could it be that he is a classmate?"

"He's a boy younger than me. We've met each other when we were kids." Senior Lilith's voice became softer due to shyness. "When I was seven years old, he saved a man who was about to die." I..."

"how romantic……"

Children of Wei Xi's age especially yearn for this kind of story. Not only Wei Xi, Luo Luo and Ling were also interested in this.

"After all these years, do you still remember that boy?"

"Do you still have contact with him now?"

"You asked so many questions at once..." Lilith smiled bitterly, "I didn't have much communication with him at that time. After that, I was taken back by my father and mother."

Senior Lilith's eyes showed a look of nostalgia.

"So I didn't get his contact information, but I have never forgotten this matter. As for boys, even if they grow up, their appearance will not change much, right?"

"How should I put it..." Ling thought seriously, "I don't have a male friend who was my childhood sweetheart, so I can't answer this question."

"For boys, they should grow taller... If the hairstyle doesn't change a lot, I feel like I can still recognize the original look..."

There were many boys of similar age in the orphanage where Wei Xi lived in the past. Several of them later joined the Holy See, and Wei Xi recognized them immediately. She didn't have much contact with the other party. She just remembered their looks. The other party probably only heard of her name, so Wei Xi had no intention of reminiscing about the past.

"If it's my brother, the change is really not that big..."

"Luoluo, it's because you've been around him all the time, so it's hard to see."

"That's probably true. It just feels like my brother has really grown a lot taller."

"Senior Lilith, can you tell us more about that incident when you were a child..."

Wei Xi expressed her feelings on behalf of everyone, and both Ling and Luoluo looked at Senior Lilith with expectant eyes.

However, Lilith-senpai just smiled and put her finger to her lips.

"No, this is a secret between him and me."
