Endless Silver Machine

"I'm sorry..." Behind Wei Xi, stood a figure that should have disappeared, "I was caught..."

"Why……"

Aika's brain couldn't understand her intention for doing this for a while.

The barrier was of no use to Wei Xi. Wei Xi was caught on purpose. She made no resistance at all. Smiling in this situation would only make Aika want to get angry.

"Why do you do this?"

"If you can't even accept your own existence, there will be no place in the world. It seems that she understands this very well."

"She" used Wei Xi's appearance and voice to answer Aika's roar for Wei Xi.

A translucent wall blocked the distance between them and Wei Xi. This was not an unreachable distance. Aika punched hard on this magical barrier wall.

"Brother Aika, Xue Chao Xiji is a magic costume and Wei Xi is a human being. This kind of contradiction cannot exist at the same time..."

If she accepts herself as a magic suit, Wei Xi can only live as a magic suit.

If you accept yourself as a human being, you will deny the identity of the magic suit.

The meaning of Wei Xi's words is very obvious. Isn't this kind of contradiction just sophistry to humans?

"In my eyes, you are just Wei Xi! You can only live as Wei Xi!"

Aika beat the barrier as if losing her mind, but his voice made Wei Xi move further away from him.

"I can't live like this..."

Wei Xi shook her head in fear and took a step further away from Aika.

Are you frightened by Aika's beast-like behavior? Or is it because he is afraid of accepting Aika’s words?

"Teacher Tara left you to me, and you just ran into my life casually, and now you want to leave alone? Stop joking!"

"I'm not……"

"Nothing!"

Aika roared and interrupted Wei Xi's defense, and the blood on her fists flowed down the barrier.

As if he couldn't feel the pain, he drove his tired body to continue talking to himself.

"Did the 'Chise' family and the 'Heinz' family fall because of you? Don't be so arrogant. That was an issue between the Bes Empire and the Principality of Setia. You didn't even say anything at that time. By the way, does that have anything to do with you?"

Senior Tiruya and Instructor Letika could only look at Aika worriedly. What he said now did not concern Wei Xi's mood at all. He seemed to be making trouble unreasonably, but no one went up to give him a slap to calm him down. .

This is no longer a situation where they can interrupt. Maybe Wei Xi can't even listen to Aika's words now, so they can only place their hope on that boy.

"Even if it has nothing to do with me, I can't be with Brother Aika!"

Wei Xi suddenly shouted out in a voice she would never normally make. She wanted to suppress Aika's voice to strengthen her mood.

"Only Luoluo and Sister Ling have such qualifications. I am not even human and I have no qualifications to fall in love with the same person as them!"

Wei Xi, who was so excited, didn't even notice that the secret between her, Luo Luo and Ling was revealed in this way.

Aika was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud as if she understood something, and her frayed fists no longer hit the barrier that separated the two.

Wei Xi didn't know what was so funny about this sentence, her little face turned red because of the shame she felt at being laughed at after summoning all her strength to shout and confess.

After the laughter stopped, Aika, who finally regained her composure, stared straight into Wei Xi's eyes that were mixed with anger and confusion.

"Wei Xi, am I an irrational person?"

"no……"

Wei Xi didn't understand why Aika asked like this at this time. However, normally, she would have answered this answer.

Even if he's indecisive or doesn't know what's going on, this is the right part of the boy Aika.

"I already know that you are not human, and you have the name Xue Chao Ji." Aika stood there firmly holding the barrier with both hands, "Then why am I still hopelessly in love with you now?"

Wei Xi's already wet eyes widened even more.

She didn't expect such an answer, right?

Did she think she didn't notice it? If she hadn't discovered it, she wouldn't have bothered for so long over the kindness she wanted to convey.

If you don't like her, there is no need to worry.

If he didn't like her, he would leave this follower here now.

She has already noticed it, hasn't she noticed it yet?

"You don't have to think about it so much when you're in love! Things like gender, race, and age difference are just excuses."

Tylua-senpai's outlook on love seemed to be the first one to have problems.

"I am still very grateful to my parents for being able to meet each other. Race and other things are just things in name."

Her family must be very happy.

"I am neither a human nor a pureblood in the true sense, but I also like humans."

Tirua-senpai also mentioned this person before.

"But he confessed to his sister. Just because he graduated two years before me, I wanted to wait until graduation, but it was too late."

She did not hesitate to open the wounds of her heart in front of so many people, just to convey these words to Wei Xi who was at a loss.

"Everyone has the right to choose freely, and no one has the right to stop you. That's all I want to say."

Finally speaking out the words she had been holding in her heart, Tirua-senpai laughed without regret.

Wei Xi looked at Aika and Tilua-senpai through the translucent barrier at a loss.

Behind her, she never spoke, nor did she show any anger towards Aika and the others' struggle. Her eyes were still as calm as lake water.

After a long time, Wei Xi finally spoke slowly and tentatively.

"Brother Aika...have you ever liked me..."

"It's not 'I liked you before', I still like you now."

In Wei Xi's heart, there was a mixture of joy and pain, and the rolling emotions lost their shackles.

"Wei Xi, you don't have to accept yourself now. Even if the world has no place for you, you can still return to this home."

This last sentence helped Wei Xi move forward.

"Wei Xi, can you be my 'Snow Tide Ji'?"

As both the magical costume "Snow Tide Ji" and the human "Wei Xi", Aika makes these two identities become the same existence.

Wei Xi took a step forward, and the seemingly untouchable distance lost its confusing restraint and became closer in an instant.

Her little hand overlapped with Aika's palm through the temperatureless barrier, and she immediately felt the isolated temperature.

At the moment when the barrier was lifted, Aika tightly grasped Wei Xi's soft little hand, and her body, which had lost its support, fell forward uncontrollably.

Wei Xi took advantage of this opportunity and gently exchanged a kiss of vows with Aika.

Aika felt the softness and warmth of Wei Xi's lips, and this gentle temperature also soaked into the body that was overrun with magic power.

"This way... we will never be separated..."

In the pure white magic blowing up in the wind, the contract engraved in their souls tightly connects the two.

…………

After the short contract ceremony, the two people who still didn't let go of their hands looked at "her" who was watching coldly.

"Are you satisfied with this result?"

Wei Xi has accepted everything that belongs to her, past, present, and future, and she is no longer confused.

"She" didn't answer, only her figure disappeared from everyone's eyes and reappeared in the original place.

The surrounding scenery gradually faded as if fading.

"The 'realm' is going to disappear..."

Just as Wei Xi said, the spring scenery of the lake that had been damaged by the fierce battle was restored to its original state.

"That's my 'domain'... because I don't want the place to be cluttered..."

No one realized that they had entered the "field" at the beginning of the battle.

"Because of your 'field', I have never been able to fight with all my strength."

"But you didn't eliminate my 'domain', because you don't want it to become a mess...Snow Tide."

"...In human terms, that's what it is."

In the end, "she" just said this lightly.

Wei Xi does not use "mother", but "Xue Chao" to refer to "her".

"Are you the other half sealed by me..."

"Yes."

"Wait a minute, Wei Xi! Isn't she the consciousness of the ruins?"

"There is no such thing as 'consciousness' in ruins..."

"I am the consciousness separated from the 'Snow Tide Ji'... In human understanding, that is."

Aika felt exhausted all over. It turned out that the target of the battle had always been Wei Xi... "Snow Tide Ji" itself.

"Her" hostility towards everyone has disappeared... I don't know if it is accurate to think so. Apart from using magic directly on everyone, it is almost impossible to guess "her" thoughts.

Suddenly saying that he wanted Wei Xi's existence to disappear, and now giving up on "her", Aika could only think of one explanation.

"Is this your purpose to make Wei Xi accept your existence?"

Tylua-senpai was also keenly aware of this.

"Her" expression was still calm, not even a nod of affirmation, but Aika seemed to see "her" blushing slightly.

"The stone tablet here is the last symbol of the Principality of Setia, and it was erected by Mephis Setia himself."

"She" turned around slightly and stood facing the stone tablet.

Wei Xi, who took the initiative to seal this memory, naturally forgot that there was such a meaning in the ruins of her birth.

"I can't forgive you for using this method to escape. Obviously these things must never be forgotten..."

"Her" voice seemed to be choked with sobs, which is probably why she turned her back to everyone.

Aika was about to say something for Wei Xi, but Wei Xi pulled his sleeve, shook his head, and walked away from everyone.

Wei Xi walked all the way behind "her". "She" did not turn around, Wei Xi hugged "her" from behind without any scruples.

"I'm sorry, I won't run away anymore..."

"She" seemed to sniff slightly as Wei Xi hugged her.

"Mephis, the country she and I agreed to build, and the time we spent in this country... I don't want to lose these anymore..."

Wei Xi slightly increased the strength of her arms and brought her body closer.

"So, please forgive me...and please come back..."

The wind seemed to get stronger, and the grass blades were blown up into the air from the field, and then fell lightly a little further away.

Even with just the power of the wind, it still left its place and flew across.

The figure Wei Xi hugged disappeared silently, disappearing without even saying hello.

Perhaps, "she" doesn't want Aika and the others to see her current face and hear her current voice.

There was nothing in Wei Xi's arms, but she still hugged her chest tightly.

Before turning around, you must let the tears flow. So Wei Xi didn't turn around for a long time.

The ever-changing spring sunshine shines on the wilderness without being blocked by clouds, stretching her small shadow very long.
