Endless Silver Machine

Two days later, Aika and Wei Xi, dragging their suitcases, met the little boy from the student union in the lobby of a luxury hotel. The hotel booked in the name of Shimozuki Academy was located in a prosperous area of ​​the royal capital. Aika, who had no sense of direction, took Wei Xi in a large circle on the street before finding it.

"Leilu-san, good morning."

"Long time no see, Leilu-san."

Waiting for the two of them on the sofa in the hall was Leilu, the accountant of the student union.

I originally thought there would be many people waiting here, but when I saw only one person, Aika breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming here, he was very nervous. Probably out of consideration for the mood of the two of them, Leilu was left alone here.

"Classmate Aika, classmate Weixi," Leilu left the soft sofa, came to the two of them, and bowed obediently, "I haven't seen you for a month. I wonder if you are two or three now? "

"Three people?" Wei Xi tilted her head, looking puzzled, "There are only brother Aika and me here."

"Stop making such jokes."

Although Relu was a member of the student council, she was also a classmate of Aika, so he flicked her forehead without hesitation.

"Yes..." Leilu covered her forehead. She puffed up her cheeks slightly when she didn't get the answer she was expecting. "Everyone is waiting for you in a big room. Let me lead the way..."

"Are the rest of the student council and tutors there?"

"Yes. This afternoon, people from Tebiri Royal Academy will come to pick us up."

"The schedule is very tight..."

The two of them followed Leilu and walked deeper into the hotel.

"By the way," Aika remembered the question she wanted to ask two days ago, "Why did the academy leave two days earlier than planned?"

"I was really shocked when I received Qiu Ke's notice..."

Wei Xi thought of that panicked morning, and her face turned red. Aika probably thought of the same thing, and he deliberately did not look in Wei Xi's direction.

"Because Principal Phyllis said that we should come here first to familiarize ourselves with the environment of the Royal Capital." Leilu did not look back, "By the way, I have a surprise for you."

"It was indeed Principal Phyllis's idea..."

Aika did think of this possibility, but she didn't expect it to be such a boring reason.

"Here we are, right here."

…………

"...Basically, there are so many things that need everyone's attention, and I've finished what I have to say."

Principal Phyllis’s words ended the brief meeting.

The instructors left the room one after another, and Aika could finally breathe a sigh of relief. It was his first time to participate in such a formal meeting. When Principal Phyllis and his tutor were speaking, he always straightened his back to avoid behavior that was inconsistent with the atmosphere.

During the meeting, Wei Xi, who sat beside her neatly, would look at him and smile from time to time.

"Brother Aika, it doesn't matter if you don't have to be so serious. When you met Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming, your attitude was more relaxed than this time."

After the meeting, Wei Xi finally told Aika the reason for her smile just now.

"It was because I didn't recognize it at that time!"

Aika retorted. But in his heart, he did feel that being with Lan Ming was much easier than sitting here.

"Hey, hey, I just heard an incredible name!" Qiu Ke suddenly emerged from Aika's side, "When did you meet Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming? She is the one who came to Tebiri Kingdom for a state visit. Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming?"

Qiu Ke was not a citizen of the Bisi Empire, so he probably didn't know Lan Ming very well. But looking at her eyes sparkling with excitement and her big tail wagging back and forth, Aika could tell that she was full of interest in Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming.

"It's not something worth worrying about..."

I don’t know how far the airship accident has been concealed. At least for now, Shuoyue Academy is not aware of this matter, and it was not brought up at the meeting just now. If you want to answer Qiu Ke's question directly, you must find a reasonable excuse. But it is not easy to get to know the princess of a country, and Aika's mind is not flexible enough yet.

"Lan Ming and I just..."

"Oh! I actually called Her Highness the Princess by her first name!"

"Brother Aika..."

The two men showed completely different reactions, none of which was favorable to Aika. Qiu Ke's desire for gossip became even more intense. Wei Xi just called her in a low voice. She didn't know that Aika and Princess Lan Ming had already begun to call each other by their names.

"Hey, classmate Aika, classmate Weixi, long time no see."

Waving to them and walking over quickly, it was Vice-President Tirua. Aika silently thanked her for the rescue.

"Tirua! Tirua! Listen to me..."

"We're about to leave soon. If you have anything to say, we'll talk to you in the car. Go back and change your uniform first." Tiluya ignored the excited Qiu Ke and said, "Weixi-san, you also need to change your uniform. Come with us." Room."

While she was holding Qiu Ke, who was waving her hands and feet, she looked at Wei Xi with gentle eyes.

"Should I go there too?"

Aika pointed at herself with a confused expression.

"Of course it's impossible."

What she got was a cold reply from Tiruya.

"Aika-san, just come to my room."

Xiaoye patted Aika on the shoulder from behind.

"Just in time, just go there with Xiaoye."

"Brother Aika, I'll leave first..."

"Well, see you later."

In order to reassure Wei Xi, Aika touched her head. Wei Xi smiled shyly, then turned around and followed Tiluya, who was dragging Qiu Ke.

"A lot seems to have happened this month."

"Senior Xiaoye?"

"No, it's nothing, don't worry about it."

Xiaoye coughed and vaguely brought up the topic.

The two eventually left the large room that served as a makeshift conference room.

…………

Taking off her coat and changing into the uniform of Shimozuki Academy, Aika felt a strange sense of belonging. Put on the scarf woven by Luoluo, stand in front of the mirror, and look at the other self reflected in the mirror.

For a moment, he felt like he was back a month ago, before he left Shimotsuki Academy.

"By the way, let's tell Luoluo and Ling that we have successfully reunited and we will set off soon..."

Aika took out her PDA from her coat pocket and sent a message to both of them. It didn't take long for his PDA to vibrate.

——Brother, the journey is not over until you return home. We can meet in one month, and I will work hard before then! By the way, Sister Ling and I have already finished the general cleaning, so it’s up to you and Xiao Xi to do the general cleaning at the end of this year!

End of year cleaning…completely forgot about it! Aika pressed her forehead.

After you go back, you must find an opportunity to thank them, whether it is spiritually or materially. Then, I sincerely asked them to come together to help with the cleaning at the end of this year... Just by myself and Wei Xi, there is absolutely no hope...

——Luoluo and I have had a good month. There is nothing for you to worry about. In the next month, it should be similar every day. Anyway, there’s nothing special to say. If you’re with Tylua-senpai, you probably won’t die outside so easily. Take good care of Wei Xi, that's all.

Ling's reply seemed a little cold, but it was quite her style. Have she and Tylua-senpai reconciled? That afternoon, Ling didn't mention what topics the two had talked about when they came back. However, it seems that there should be no problem.

"Aika, are you all ready?"

Xiaoye also changed into his uniform, and his suitcase was placed at the entrance.

"Well, it's ready."

Aika adjusted the position of her uniform tie.

"Ah...Brother Aika..."

At the door of Xiaoye's room, Wei Xi was standing against the wall. She had also changed her clothes. The long-lost uniform was worn on her petite body, and she wore the white coat that Aika bought for her, which looked very delicate.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, no..." Wei Xi shook her head vigorously, "Sister Ling and Luo Luo both sent messages just now."

"Well, I received it too. They seem to be going well, so let's just concentrate on getting things done here."

"Um."

Tiruya and Akatsuki had given up this time to the two of them and went directly to the lobby.

"Let's go too, everyone is waiting."

Aika stretched out her hand to Wei Xi.

"Um!"

Then, Wei Xi held his finger with her little hand without hesitation.

Warmth can be felt even without contact. However, once touched, the extravagant thought of taking it as your own will quickly occupy the brain, leaving no room for thinking.

The hands that hold each other will not let go easily.
