Endless Silver Machine

The rainy season, which I thought would last for a month, quietly left before April ended.

The sunshine at the transition between spring and summer is still gentle, and the warmth has not dissipated for a long time.

Aika met Carlo who came waving in front of the school building, and Aika also raised his hand to signal.

As if to take care of the conversation between the two boys, the girls walked in front of Aika and Carlo.

"Did my appearance disturb you?"

Carlo still had that casual smile that couldn't catch the feeling, and walked side by side in the corridor with Aika.

"No, we've already come this far."

"Do you remember what I told you last time about the ruins?"

"of course I remember."

It seemed to be a confidential matter, and Aika never heard anything about this from anyone other than Carlo after that time.

It's a shame that Carlo was able to find out the information from his mentor.

"Now that the aviation magic ship has been prepared, the rainy season has ended just as we started to rest. Something good may happen in the near future!"

"If the rainy season is over, it should start, right?"

"Start with what?"

"Exploring the ruins, isn't this what you told me!"

"I don't know that."

Carlo spread his hands without much regret.

"Yeah……"

Aika is slightly interested in ruin exploration for two reasons.

On the one hand, it is exploring unknown areas, which sounds very romantic; on the other hand, it is the information provided to him by Pope Sethis and what Lan Ming wants to prevent.

Although it was an action that had nothing to do with him, Aika still remembered what Carlo told him.

"Another ordinary day."

Carlo stretched greatly.

"Stop complaining and pray that every day is as ordinary as this."

"Isn't your life too joyless?"

"I don't need that kind of 'exciting' fun."

Aika said and opened the door of the classroom, and separated from Carlo at the door of the classroom. The two of them were seated in completely different directions.

Qiu Ke sat energetically in Aika's seat early in the morning and chatted with them who arrived at the classroom early in the morning about topics that Aika didn't understand.

Seeing Aika coming this way from a distance, Qiu Ke jumped up from his seat and made way for him.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning."

"Hmm...feeling listless, did you do anything last night?"

Qiu Ke's eyes swept across the three girls sitting next to Aika like an interrogator.

"I didn't... I shouldn't have caused any trouble to Brother Aika..."

When she met Qiu Ke's eyes, Wei Xi looked at Luo Luo in a panic.

"Brother was very energetic just now..."

Luo Luo, who was questioned by Qiu Ke and Wei Xi with their eyes, looked at Ling at a loss.

"have no idea."

She simply answered.

"Classmate Ling, you are very suspicious."

"ha?"

Ling, who was still absent-minded, was startled by Qiu Ke's sudden and loud testimony. She shifted her gaze from the window back to Qiu Ke in surprise.

Qiu Ke swung his big furry tail up and down and wiggled his fingers in a serious manner.

"Because you're looking out the window with guilty eyes."

"She's always like that..."

"Aika, don't talk!"

"Eh……"

Qiu Ke pretended to be stern and glared at Aika, then continued to face Ling and raised her fingers to list the basis for her judgment.

"I answered in a cold manner on purpose, but in fact I must have been extremely flustered."

"She's always like that..."

"Aika, don't talk!"

"oh……"

"And..." It seemed that after being interrupted twice by Aika, her train of thought stopped. "In short, you are highly suspicious."

"What the hell..." Lingdu no longer had the energy to refute anything, "I sleep with Xiao Xi at night. If you have any questions, just ask her."

"Eh? I don't know either..."

Suddenly taking over the baggage thrown over by Ling, Wei Xi defended anxiously.

She would go to bed on time at ten o'clock, so she really wouldn't know what Ling did after that, but Qiu Ke certainly didn't know this.

When she went to "entangle" Wei Xi, Ling let out a small sigh.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it just feels like an ordinary day is about to start again."

"Why did you say the same thing as Carlo..."

"Did he say that too?"

"Well, do you want to become a loser like him?"

"This statement is too much for him, haha!"

Ling finally laughed, and Aika felt relieved.

"Is there really no problem?"

"You're so annoying..."

"Then I won't ask."

"You should hold on!"

"You won't answer even if I ask you."

"Because nothing really happened."

"...Are you deliberately looking for trouble because you are too idle?"

"No, because it's more interesting this way."

"A little more interesting?"

"...Hmm. Okay, worry about yourself, Luo Luo is looking at you with strange eyes."

I don’t know since when, Luo Luo, who was chatting and laughing with her friends, has been paying attention here.

In fact, it was not a "strange look" as Ling said, but Aika still knew that she was a little unhappy.

Aika couldn't even think of such a simple reason. He could do nothing but give Luoluo an apologetic wry smile.

Luoluo's eyes only met once, and then he turned his head pretending not to care.

To attract his attention and show his mood so obviously, Aika rarely sees Luo Luo acting awkwardly like this.

Since the relationship between the two became frank, Luoluo gradually showed more feelings of an ordinary girl than as a younger sister.

Sometimes, Aika felt that she was deliberately doing something that she was not used to, and she felt forced.

But Aika didn't know how to explain to Luoluo that it would be fine as long as it was the same as before. Even if he said this, Luoluo would think it was just concern.

Teacher Letika walked into the classroom and announced the beginning of a new day.

The course she was responsible for was world history. The originally boring history was interpreted by instructor Letika in her own style, which left a deep impression on everyone.

…………

"Then that's the end of today's class. Classmate Aika, classmate Luoluo, can you two come with me?"

After class, Instructor Letika stopped the two of them.

Being stopped by Teacher Letika might be something as trivial as helping to get homework materials, but sometimes it might be a troublesome matter far beyond imagination.

"Brother, let's go."

After one class, Luoluo seemed to have forgotten that she was still having trouble and returned to her normal self.

Aika was stunned for a moment, then Luoluo grabbed the gap and took his hand, half-pulling him towards the door of the classroom.

"Luoluo, wait a moment..."

It wasn't that Luo Luo was very strong, it was just that Aika's body kept up with her unconsciously.

The students’ eyes seemed to be filled with thorns as they watched themselves being dragged away by girls...

Letika looked at the PDA at the door of the classroom, then looked past Aika and Luoluo behind them.

"Excuse me, classmates Ling and Wei Xi, please come too."

"Do we want it too?"

Ling, who looked at the backs of the two people with a complicated expression, immediately raised his head when he heard Teacher Letika's words.

"Sister Ling...do you know what happened..."

Wei Xi's uneasiness could already be felt through her voice.

The last time I was stopped by Teacher Letika, I thought it was just a simple job, but I didn't expect that I would be asked to go to a strange country. From then on, she became wary of Teacher Letika's "call".

"I don't know..." Ling's inner thoughts are still difficult to feel from her movements and expressions, "But I just need to follow, right?"

She stood up from her seat first and gave the hesitant Wei Xi encouragement through action.

"……Um……"

"We are really good partners who share difficulties."

Aika made a joke to the two people who came to her.

"When there's trouble, it's enough for you to deal with it alone. Don't hold us back."

Ling replied to him angrily.

Everyone walked together, and Instructor Letika led them towards the office building.

"Teacher Letika, is there anything we need to do?"

When riding the elevator, Aika finally couldn't help but ask.

The button that Teacher Letika pressed leads to the top floor, and Teacher Letika's office is on the floor below.

There is only one person's office on the top floor of the office building.

"I don't know either. It's just that Principal Phyllis wants to see you for something. Let me inform you."

"As expected, it's Principal Phyllis..."

When Letika was watching PDA at the door of the classroom, Aika vaguely guessed that this would be the case.

"Don't be nervous, Principal Phyllis is not a scary person. Although sometimes she does do whatever she wants..."

"Teacher Letika, originally we didn't have to come together?"

"Initially, only classmates Aika and Luoluo were arranged. Ling and Weixi were the sudden additions to Philia Academy just now."

"You two..." Ling glanced at Aika and Luoluo with suspicion, "Did you do anything that violated school rules?"

"No, no, absolutely not."

Aika answered decisively and immediately, making Ling have to believe his attitude.
