Endless Silver Machine

"Senior Lilith, I really won't run away again..."

"Hmph, I won't believe what you say." Senior Sister Lilith hugged Aika's arm tightly in front of everyone, "If it weren't for the help of the president and Carlo, you would have gone to nowhere. Got it!"

"But, Mrs. Elise will never give me a good look, right?"

"Obviously you saved me again, show some confidence again."

"In Mrs. Elise's opinion, in that case, the most appropriate thing to do is to take you out!"

"I have already explained it to my mother. Judging from her attitude, there is absolutely no need to worry. Let's not talk about it for now. You must cooperate with me later."

"Of course I can't steal the spotlight. It's almost time to let me go. Everyone is watching..."

"Well……"

Feeling embarrassed after being reminded, Senior Lilith reluctantly let go of Aika's arm.

Her ring accidentally fell off when it brushed against Aika's sleeve and fell at Aika's feet.

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

"I'll do it, Senior Sister Lilith."

Aika bent down to pick up the small diamond ring, and then stretched out her other hand to Senior Lilith.

Senior Lilith didn't understand what Aika meant at first, but she still obediently placed her hand gently in Aika's palm.

Aika's hands were different from his own. They were big and strong. He only noticed them when they were folded like this. Senior Lilith stared at the overlapped palms of the two people, and then moved her eyes to her feet.

"Well, which finger is it worn on..."

By chance, a woman with a child passed behind Senior Lilith. Aika caught a glimpse of the sparkle on the woman's fingers, and he borrowed his wisdom directly.

Aika carefully put the diamond ring in her hand on senior Lilith's ring finger.

"Eh?"

"Did you wear it wrong?"

"No, it's not..." Senior Sister Lilith immediately retracted her hand and hid her hands behind her back, saying as quietly as a mosquito, "Hurry up, hurry up, mother is still waiting..."

"Um."

Senior Lilith seemed a little panicked, but Aika didn't know why. But it is true as she said, it is very rude to make Mrs. Elise wait for too long. In order to keep Mrs. Elise in a happy mood, she must not be late. Aika quickly caught up with senior Lilith who was already walking in front. .

…………

In a high-end restaurant near the airport, Senior Lilith and Aika sat opposite Mrs. Elise, both of their faces slightly red. Because there was a lot of delay on the road, it was already the limit to be able to arrive within the agreed time.

"Aika."

"exist!"

Mrs. Elise called Aika's name first after they met, and he quickly straightened his back and responded seriously.

Seeing how nervous he looked, Mrs. Elise covered her mouth with her hands and smiled gracefully.

"How is Miss Wei Xi's health?"

"She has not been discharged from the hospital yet. However, she was not injured. The doctor said she can recover as long as she takes a good rest."

The feat of two first-year students and a second-year student working together to defeat a fourth-level monster has spread throughout Shimozuki Academy. It is even said that various forces related to Shimozuki Academy have also learned about the news, including the Bis Empire and the Holy See. It is possible that the association has also caught wind of it.

"I will also visit Miss Weixi before I leave," Mrs. Elise returned her thoughts to the two people in front of her. "What I want to talk about now is about the two of you."

"I will reserve my own opinion on Lilith's thoughts."

"Please wait!" Aika suppressed the urge to stand up, "Senior Lilith's hard work and determination, you should have..."

"Mother!" Senior Sister Lilith suddenly stretched out her hand to signal Aika to stop defending herself. At the same time, she mustered up the courage to face Mrs. Elise and spoke out her inner thoughts, "Although I still have many immature things. place, but I won’t give up just like that. Because, as a boy, Aika’s classmates will support me throughout my life!”

Senior Lilith finished speaking in one breath. Because of her nervousness, she didn't even control her volume well. The surrounding guests all looked at their table.

"Wait, Senior Sister Lilith..."

"And, and!" Senior Sister Lilith ignored Aika who wanted to explain something. She put her right hand on her chest, and the diamond ring on her ring finger reflected the light in the store. "This ring was also given to me by Aika... Put it on!"

The last sentence was almost shouted. Heat seemed to come out of her cheeks, but she still faced Lady Elise's gaze.

This must be the first time that Senior Lilith has done such a bold behavior in front of Madam Elise, so even Madam Elise, who has always been calm and composed, was frightened by her.

After a while, Mrs. Elise regained her composure.

"It's so similar to the scene back then..." I don't know what Mrs. Elise recalled, but she actually accepted this scene, "Lilith, I didn't expect you to be like me back then..."

Mrs. Elise did not finish her words, she turned to look at Aika.

"Mr. Aika, I didn't expect that you had made a clear statement to my daughter..."

Mrs. Elise picked up the teacup that was no longer steaming and took a sip.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aika quickly used her eyes to signal Senior Lilith to explain clearly to Mrs. Elise, but she deliberately avoided Aika's eye contact.

"You are very similar to this child's father. I reluctantly admit your feelings for Lilith." Mrs. Elise put down the tea cup, "However, I will not agree immediately. Lilith is still a child. You will have more in the future. Spend more time getting to know each other..."

--Eh?

What expansion is this? It was as if I had been assigned something very important in my life without saying anything.

"Aika, please take care of me from now on!"

Senior Lilith's smile was as warm as the spring sun.
