Endless Silver Machine

After a while, the person who returned to the restaurant was not Ling and Guang Yanjian who had left not long ago, but Wei Xi who had just returned from bathing.

"Hey, where's Sister Ling?"

"Didn't you see them in the hallway back here?"

"'they'?"

Wei Xi shook her head in confusion.

"If you didn't see it, then they should be in their room. The Light Flame Sword is also on the aviation magic ship now."

"Hey!" Wei Xi was so surprised that the comb in her hand fell to the ground, "The Light Flame Sword... does it mean she is here like Hitomi?"

"Well, she and Ling should be discussing something in the room now. After all, they have been away for a long enough time."

The other party is Ling's magic suit, so he shouldn't do anything excessive to Ling anyway. It's just that Ling, who is usually so strong, feels aggrieved in front of the Light Flame Sword as if he has been caught with something, so this time Aika is worried about Ling.

This is Hitomi's "Yectrasil". If something happens, she will definitely be the first to notice.

Suddenly, Aika felt someone leaning on her again. Turning his head, he saw that Hitomi had dozed off again with her head resting on her arm.

"Hitomi seems to be in this dizzy state after eating. Is it okay?"

Lan Ming looked at Tong, who was sleeping deeply, with some worry. This time she seemed to sleep deeper than last time, and she didn't wake up even if Aika touched her sleeping face.

"Could it be because Hitomi isn't quite used to the environment of this world yet..."

"adapt?"

"It's like this... If you don't stay in this world with this kind of body often, you will not be used to the way the body recovers magic power from the air, and there will be situations like Hitomi's lack of energy."

Aika suddenly realized that this was probably like human magic depletion syndrome, and Hitomi's spirit would also be affected accordingly.

"Hitomi has said before that she has never come out of that world. In other words, she is just a little tired now. If she adapts to it in the future, this situation will not happen?"

"I think it should be like this..."

Since Wei Xi has already said this, there should be no need to worry too much about Tong. In Wei Xi's memory, she saw her life in the Principality of Setia. Wei Xi often interacted with Liuyin, Duke Setia and others in human form. From this point of view, she should be in the magic costume. A senior who appears in human form.

"Can Hitomi recover just by sleeping like this?"

"Well... As long as Hitomi rests normally with a human body, she can replenish all the magic power in the surrounding air..."

Just when everyone was relieved about Hitomi's current condition, Ling and Guang Yanjian, who had been away for a long time, came back.

Wei Xi, who had just met the Light Flame Sword for the first time, quickly straightened her back and said hello to her.

"Oh - after seeing it with my own eyes in this world, Xue Chao Xiji is still as cute as before." Guangyan Sword walked up to Wei Xi and touched her head like a warm-hearted big sister, "We Have you never met directly like this before?"

"Yes, no... Sister Guang has never been to the Principality of Setia in person..."

"But I often see you there. To be honest, when I first saw you in that border town a year ago, I was really surprised for a long time."

"Eh? It's great that you still remember me..."

"You will not lose to our magic costume at all. Be more confident! When I usually look at you from the master's spiritual world, I am still a little anxious for you. But now you have grown a lot. Promise sister, We must keep up our efforts!”

"Um……"

When she first met Guangyanjian, she was a little nervous, but after a few brief conversations, Wei Xi gradually let go of her guard against the friendly and smiling Guangyanjian, and her speech became much smoother than before.

Ling, who seemed to have experienced a big battle, sat back down next to Lan Ming with a tired expression.

"What did you just say?"

Aika asked Ling in a low voice.

"You don't have to worry about..."

He only received such a feeble answer from Ling.

The Guangyan Sword, who had been chatting happily with Wei Xi, left Wei Xi and looked past her at Aika and Ling who were whispering. To be precise, he looked at Hitomi who was leaning on Aika and breathing shallowly.

"Oh, Hitomi looks like she's having a hard time."

"Wei Xi said that as long as she takes a nap, she will feel refreshed."

"That's true. She must not be used to the outside world. Since you are her master, you must always pay attention to her physical condition."

"I've had such a plan for a long time." Aika stroked Hitomi's hair gently, and she curled up in Aika's arms seemingly comfortably, "Where's Hikari, have you come out often before?"

"Compared to Hitomi, the number of times should be slightly more."

The Light Flame Sword that said this was still full of energy, which was indeed different from the fatigue shown by Hitomi.

She walked to the unoccupied side of the dining table alone, held her hakama skirt and sat down on her knees. Every move is like drinking wine and admiring the moon in the water pavilion in the spiritual world, and his movements are full of elegance.

"Just now you really want to know what the master and I said after communicating for so long, right?" She raised her index finger towards Aika and smiled quietly, "That's not allowed. It's not allowed to inquire about girls' privacy. As a gentleman does.”

Probably because Ling noticed the whispers between Aika and her from the state of mind that she was trying to hide, or maybe she caught a glimpse of this side while talking to Wei Xi.

Wei Xi still sat next to Aika, looked at Hitomi who was sleeping comfortably on Aika's arm, swallowed, moved her body slightly and sat closer.

Her peripheral vision glanced at Aika's free arm from time to time, and she probably simulated doing what Hitomi did countless times in her mind, but her body was as stiff as a rusty machine, unable to make any movements.

"Then let's stop here today. I'm really happy to meet you all in this posture."

"Hey, sister Guang is going back?"

Wei Xi had only seen the Light Flame Sword for a few minutes before she had to go back, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Everyone has to rest at this time, right?" She smiled slightly at Wei Xi, "I will come tomorrow too, if I won't disturb you."

Ling said nothing. Aika thought she would tell the Light Flame Sword not to come out at will, but she didn't say that.

"Then let's leave it like this for now. I can't let Hitomi fall asleep like this. I'll send her back to her room later."

"Then see you tomorrow and good night everyone... Have a sweet dream, my lord."

The tit-for-tat atmosphere between Guang Yanjian and Ling disappeared after ten minutes of conversation in the boudoir. It was incredible for the girl. Aika was still very concerned about what they talked about.

Finally, the Light Flame Sword smiled at Aika, and her figure disappeared with the faint golden light.

The Light Flame Sword finally returned... Ling, who seemed to be finally relieved, actually relaxed.

"Then I'm going to take a shower first."

Ling stretched out her arms and stood up slowly, probably because she wanted to wash away with water the fatigue that accumulated in less than an hour and felt like a whole day.

Because Wei Xi usually goes to bed earlier than others, she was allowed to use the private bathroom on "Yuktra Hill" first. If the rest of Ling and Lan Ming had entered the bathroom, it would be almost midnight when they should really rest.

"Wei Xi, let's go to bed early too."

In fact, Aika originally wanted to rest after boarding the ship, because the sudden appearance of Hitomi and the Light Flame Sword made the current time about to enter a new day again.

"Um……"

Wei Xi stood up from Aika's side, her voice sounded a little disappointed. But when Aika noticed something and turned back to look at her, Wei Xi immediately made a smile that was obviously fake.

No one knew that the little wish in Wei Xi's heart was not realized until the end. She thought she should have mustered up the courage by then, but her body just didn't obey her orders.

I don’t know how many times today I sighed in my heart. In her heart, Wei Xi actually envied Hitomi who could rely on Aika very naturally. If it were herself, she would never find any reason to do this like her.

If, like Hitomi, I had legitimately signed a magic contract with Aika since he was born, could I still maintain this kind of relationship with him like Hitomi now?

Compared to himself and Hitomi...who does Aika need more?

Until Hitomi appeared in front of everyone, Wei Xi had never considered this issue.

Wanting to take Aika as your own is a bit too selfish. It was as if he only considered his own happiness and valued Aika as some kind of object.

Wei Xi knew in her heart that this kind of thinking was wrong, but she couldn't help thinking in this direction.

...Having such thoughts, is it a manifestation of what Misty said, "pretending to be a good kid"?
