Endless Silver Machine

By lunch, Wei Xi's calves had indeed regained their fair complexion.

"It seems there's no problem."

Aika took her to the restaurant.

"Why is my brother so active in going to Xiao Xi's room today..."

Luoluo stared at Aika with suspicious eyes, while Weixi showed an attitude that was too easy to understand.

Liuyin seemed to be particularly unwilling to do so in some way. She glared at Aika angrily.

Aika didn't know if it would be more effective to explain her purpose obediently. In short, now that Luo Luo and Wei Xi have been told their thoughts, the next schedule still needs to be discussed.

In the end, because Shun had already received Professor Cocona on behalf of the Imperial City Defense Bureau, the pick-up and drop-off in the morning and evening were all handed over to him, and there was no problem with the text messages he himself responded to.

Aika will go to the northwest district of the imperial capital with Liuyin recently. The investigation will last two days including this afternoon. In the evening, if there is no unexpected situation, he will return home.

Luo Luo and Wei Xi stayed at home. Augustus would not attack Liuyin's mansion easily, otherwise it would be equivalent to declaring war on the Holy See.

Wei Xi will also strengthen the barrier of the mansion so that Aika can safely leave here in a short time.

Whether it's Luo Luo's memory or Ling's coma, it's not a problem that can be solved anxiously.

…………

"You want to go on a mission with me so much. You must have other purposes, right?"

When Aika asked to go with him, Liuyin became a little concerned.

At this critical moment, why didn't Aika choose to stay with Luoluo and Wei Xi? This is in line with his character.

Liuyin has not been in contact with Aika for a long time. She dare not say that she knows Aika's personality very well, but she still has some understanding of Aika's behavior style.

Why did he, who always valued his family so much, leave at this time? Liuyin really wanted to know what his plans were.

"Just do it if you want to. It's not that simple a reason, right?"

While waiting for the magic train, Liuyin happened to use this topic to pass the time.

"I'm interested in secrets that ordinary people don't know. That's the real reason."

"Pure curiosity?"

"Not just out of curiosity, I also checked some information about the Northwest District. The technology developed by the companies and factories there seems to be the most advanced."

"Well, the northwest district is the industrial center of the Bis Empire. Many companies and factories are related to the reconstruction and armament of the Bis Empire... Ah, is this your purpose?"

As Liuyin talked, he discovered a focus that was meaningful to him.

"You can't just go into a place like that without a special connection, so I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity."

Aika apologized to Liuyin with her hands clasped together, because such words seemed to be taking advantage of Liuyin.

"I don't mind..."

Liuyin just felt that the word "exploit" was not suitable to apply to Aika. Now he must have realized the idea that he had not originally had after the fact, so Liuyin had no reason to be angry.

"But this is a secret investigation. We want to avoid exposing our identity. You should know that."

"I'll know it when I see your outfit..."

Today, Liuyin put on a hooded sweatshirt, and the cat pattern with a big mouth on the front exudes a childlike atmosphere.

"What, what's wrong..."

Aika suddenly talked about her dress, and stopped looking at herself mid-sentence. Liuyin immediately knew what he was thinking.

"Just laugh if you want to..."

Liuyin hugged her body with both hands in disgust, deliberately avoiding Aika's sight.

"No, I just want to say that it's rare to see you in casual clothes."

This kind of clothing is very suitable for children of her age, but Liuyin's character is slightly mature, which creates a very subtle contrast.

"...I bought this dress a long time ago. Even if it's a bit naive, there's nothing I can do about it!"

"I have never said such a thing..."

"Your expression says so!"

"No way!"

Aika quickly touched her face, but Liuyin's face became increasingly ugly.

Although summer is approaching, the temperature around us is even colder than winter.

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't use magic in a place like this!"

They were not the only ones at the station, as other waiting passengers noticed the sudden drop in temperature.

"Tsk..." Liuyin also noticed that he had become the focus of attention from the people around him, so he controlled the overflowing magic power, "If I kill you, Xiao Xi will be angry."

"Doesn't it matter as long as you don't do it yourself?"

"It doesn't matter."

Liuyin obviously lost his temper.

"... Let's not talk about the immatureness of the clothes. As long as they suit you, isn't it?"

"..."

"Besides, I think you are very cute now. Mature cannot be described as cute."

"It's... cute..."

Liuyin's expression softened a little, and she repeated Aika's words in a low voice.

"That's how I felt from the beginning."

"But you didn't say it! And you still looked like you wanted to laugh!"

Liuyin still has some unacceptable aspects.

"That's because maturity doesn't suit you. The feeling just now was very girlish."

"You are laughing at me! Absolutely!"

While Liuyin was noisy, the cross-region magic train whistled and entered the station on time.

"Seniors like me who are older than you also hope to be able to rely on you."

"Eh?"

Aika suddenly left the topic, leaving Liuyin stunned for a moment.

The magic train stopped in the station, and the flow of people began to move inside and outside the train.

Although the station was not crowded, Aika still extended her hand to Liuyin.

"Hurry up. If you miss this train, you will have to wait for a long time."

"oh oh……"

Liuyin asked him to hold her hand in confusion, her thoughts still stuck on a few seconds ago.

Aika pulled her into the magic train before closing the door, without even paying attention to when it started.

She just knew very clearly that she was completely seen through in front of the boy whom Wei Xi regarded as her "brother".

When he said those words, Liuyin suddenly felt like he had lost his strength.

I always thought I was helping him, but I never considered relying on him.

When I came back to my senses, I had received a lot of care.

Liuyin suddenly thought about whether she could not have to work so hard in front of him.

She looked to her side, and Aika dragged her cheeks and yawned.

"Pfft..."

"Um?"

Aika, who noticed Liuyin laughing, looked over and she immediately returned to her original expression.

"nothing……"

In order to cover up his inner panic, Liuyin tilted his head towards the window.

After the sight around him disappeared, Liu Yin quietly turned around.

Immediately after that yawn, Aika leaned back in her chair and began to take a nap.

Luoluo wasn't the only one who slept late last night.

Liuyin suddenly felt a little angry and felt a little funny.

"It would be nice if I could..."

At this moment, Liuyin still didn't find the answer.
