Endless Silver Machine

The weather tonight is almost the same as usual, and the moonlight is brighter than in the past few days.

But Aika felt that the air in the room was particularly stuffy. He turned over on the bed, half of his clothes were soaked with sweat, and it was extremely uncomfortable to stick to his body.

"So annoying..."

I don't know why, but I feel like my head is in a mess. Nothing worth worrying about happened today.

After tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, Aika jumped out of bed and decided to go to the courtyard to enjoy the evening breeze.

There was already a person sitting on the grass. Holding the glass in his hand, ice cubes floating on the surface collided with each other and made a crisp sound.

"The wind is a little noisy tonight."

When he saw Aika coming out of the house, he raised his glass and said hello to Aika.

"In this weather, add ice."

"I can't just let the cold air soak into the liquid like the master did."

"That's not what I meant..."

After Aika walked to the courtyard, she realized that the temperature at night was not as high as she felt, and even had a hint of coolness. This feeling became more obvious after sweating.

"Want a drink?"

"Um."

Shun casually took out the glass bottle buried inside from the bucket filled with ice cubes.

"It's probably a little late to ask, what is this?"

"Wine, I bought it today."

Shun calmly opened the lid.

"...Where are you hiding?"

Liuyin was not allowed to drink at home. This was a fact that everyone had known for a long time.

"Just put it in my own room. There's no need to hide it at all."

Shun filled Aika one-third of the glass. This time Aika did not use the excuse of being underage to refuse, and this was not the first time he drank.

The cold liquid he drank left a burning pain in his throat, but the pain was not that annoying.

"Can't sleep?"

"Well, if you give me a few punches, I might be so tired that I fall asleep." Aika answered him casually with a joke, "What about you? You're sitting here so late, maybe it's not to admire the moon."

Although it has passed the period when the full moon appears, the moonlight shining in the cloudless night sky is indeed beautiful.

"It's almost the same as you. The flow of magic power around here is a little unstable, and your body will be affected a little."

The evening breeze was slightly cool.

"Go and see Ling."

Aika was not in the mood to watch the moon with Shun here. She couldn't sleep anyway, so she might as well do something meaningful.

"You can't just enter the room without Luoluo's permission, right?"

"It seems like this...Have the results of the examination come out?"

"Ah, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."

The "examination" they called was that Ling had received a comprehensive examination at home a few days ago with the help of Liuyin's connections in the Holy See. Although Luoluo and Wei Xi take good care of her, Ling can't tell whether she feels uncomfortable in any way, so regular check-ups are a must.

"The result is out, but it doesn't make much sense..."

"makes sense……"

"See for yourself, there is nothing wrong with him. Whether it is physical condition or magic flow, he is the same as a normal person."

Shun took out the physical examination report form from his coat pocket. I just said I forgot about it, isn't it always with me?

Aika knew that she was not qualified to laugh at him. He took the report sheet, and under the moonlight, he couldn't understand the messy professional terms on it. Aika returned the report sheet to Shun in disappointment.

"Everyone says so, but aren't 'unable to wake up' and 'death' very similar things?" The light above the head dimmed, Aika raised her head, and a dark cloud just blocked the shining moonlight, "If If it’s always been like this..."

Just when Aika had no intention of complaining, a huge amount of magic swept over her instantly.

"What's this……"

Aika summoned the two guns based on instinct and suppressed the feeling of vomiting. Shun didn't look relaxed either.

The magic power that suddenly swept over was so strong that even the magic power in the air formed turbulence. The higher the magic power, the more obvious the impact will be.

"Inside the room!"

This magic has never been felt before. In the face of overwhelming power, the warning barrier covering the mansion was triggered and was immediately forcibly disintegrated.

"asshole……"

Aika ran into the house without hesitation.

Shun immediately caught up with him, and the two of them rushed up the stairs leading to the bedroom.

The unknown magic power just now has completely dissipated, as if someone who had just woken up yawned.

"Eh? Brother Aika?"

Wei Xi also came to the corridor wearing cute pajamas, and happened to run into Aika who looked anxious and Shun who followed closely behind.

"Wei Xi, what happened?"

"That... seems to be from Sister Ling's room..."

Wei Xi was the one most affected by the turbulence, and her face looked really bad.

Wei Xi, who had just woken up, could not understand the situation for a moment, but she still correctly pointed out the source of the abnormality.

Aika hurriedly ran past her before she could finish speaking.

"Sure enough, I came here for Ling..."

Shun rushed in front of Aika. He would never allow anyone to take action against his friends, let alone on his own territory.

He turned the doorknob all the way and pushed open the door roughly. The strong wind blowing in front of him almost made Shun unable to stand still.

"Ling!"

Knowing that Ling would definitely not answer, Aika still pushed Shun blocking the door of the room and rushed into the house despite the strong wind.

The strong wind stopped after a few seconds, and the room was littered with scattered papers.

The window facing the door was open, and a familiar yet unfamiliar girl was sitting on the window edge, staring blankly at the sky outside.

The long hair is shining with a faint golden light. The long hair is flowing in the night wind blowing in through the open window, beautiful and dazzling.

Countless golden particles like fireflies floated around her, and her posture was even more eye-catching than that of a goblin.

"Ling..."

Aika's nervousness was replaced by more confusion. The girl in front of her is undoubtedly Ling, because she is still wearing the cute lace pajamas that Luoluo put on for her, and her feet are also wearing plush slippers that have not been used by the owner yet.

However, the temperament she exudes is somewhat inconsistent with the Ling in her impression. It was more elegant and solemn, as stunning as a goddess.

Shun was completely stunned and turned into a statue with his mouth wide open. On the contrary, Wei Xi was the first to take a step forward.

"It's...Sister Ling..."

"Xiao Xi, I'm back." Ling smiled gently at Wei Xi, "During my coma, you and Luo Luo were the ones taking care of me, right?"

Wei Xi actually forgot her original question for a moment and was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Sister Ling is finally willing to call me this..."

Weixi Lihua burst into tears, but this time they were tears of joy. After experiencing so many setbacks, it seemed like it all paid off in this moment.

"I've caused trouble to everyone during this period," Ling suddenly jumped down from the window sill, "I didn't expect that kind of thing to happen, so I'm very sorry!"

She lowered her head to everyone present and expressed her sincere apology.

Aika still seemed to have something he couldn't understand, so he walked to Ling's side.

"What are you doing?"

Ling hugged her chest with some caution. Aika ignored her defense and stretched out her finger...

"Pfft-"

"Pfft?"

He poked Ling's cheek gently with his finger, and Ling suddenly made a strange sound.

"Don't touch me casually!" She grabbed Aika's outstretched arm and twisted it in an unnatural direction, "Pervert, you damn girl!"

"Don't give me random titles...wait a minute..."

Reminded by Ling's scolding, Aika suddenly realized that one of the most important people was not here at this time.

"Luoluo! Where is Luoluo!"

"Eh?"

Aika's sudden change of attitude forced Ling to let him go.

Ignoring the surprised looks of others, Aika turned around and rushed out of the room.
