Endless Silver Machine

After the commotion subsided, Aika and Wei Xi's explanations finally made Ling and Lan Ming understand the cause and effect.

To sum up, when Wei Xi helped Hitomi change her clothes, she discovered that she was not wearing underwear under her kimono. When she went back to the room to find spare underwear, Hitomi woke up at this time and found that there was no one else in the room, so she went out to look for her, and then she saw Aika looked like she was ready to help her get dressed. This led to the worst misunderstanding above.

"Anyway...I'm sorry! It's rare that you want to do something for Hitomi, and I'm here to discourage you." Ling clasped her hands together and apologized, "But...that scene looks too dangerous. Normally, The first thing that comes to mind is to stop it, right?"

"In other words, the main reason this time is actually because Hitomi ran out of the room without getting dressed? Speaking of which, you must wear your underwear well."

"There is no need..."

After tidying up her clothes, Hitomi sat next to Aika and spoke calmly as if the commotion that just happened had nothing to do with her.

Lan Ming and Ling looked at each other, and it was inconvenient to say anything more about this issue. They probably regard not wearing underwear as Hitomi's personal habit. After all, it is not polite to comment on other people's personal habits.

Hitomi turned sideways and looked at Aika beside her. Of course Aika also noticed her gaze, and the two looked at each other for a while.

"I felt the master's mood at that time."

Just such a simple sentence made Aika feel ashamed.

Because Aika's inner feelings were too complicated at that time, she even forgot that Hitomi could feel her own feelings. At that time, all her feelings including her delusions about her were known to her.

The three girls present all knew the meaning of this sentence, but there was no point in blaming Aika now, so they had no choice but to ignore it as if they had not heard it.

"Now that Hitomi has woken up, does that mean you have regained your energy?"

"I have just recovered the magic power that can maintain my activity, so it doesn't matter if I stay here like this..."

"But forcing yourself before you get used to it won't be good for your health... There's no need to rush with this kind of thing. We still have a lot of time to interact, so just take your time..."

It was rare for Wei Xi to act like a senior in front of Tong, who was also in a magic suit. Although judging from the history of the birth of magic equipment, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two.

Tong's eyes looked at Wei Xi, and her scrutinizing gaze made Wei Xi, who had been speaking confidently just now, start to doubt herself again.

This scrutinizing gaze didn't last long before Tong looked away from Wei Xi's face and stood up on the spot.

"gone back."

She said simply to Aika.

"Going back to the world over there, right?"

Hitomi nodded slightly, and the twin tails that had been tied up again returned to their plush look.

"Before that..." She turned to Wei Xi again, "She and I have something to say."

"Eh……"

Tong completely ignored Wei Xi's answer and conveyed what seemed to be a somewhat willful request. She said goodbye to Ling and Lan Ming again with her eyes, and then turned into silver-white particles and disappeared from the place.

Wei Xi, who was named by Hitomi, sat there in confusion. Hitomi did say that she still had something to say to herself, and she didn't know whether her current mood was more of surprise or happiness.

She had no unpleasant feelings towards Hitomi. Hitomi is also Aika's magic costume like herself, and she is Aika's sister who recognizes her. Wei Xi hopes to become friends with her.

"The conversation she's talking about should be referring to that world, right?"

After Aika reminded her like this, Wei Xi suddenly realized. It turned out that Hitomi's disappearance was because she had returned to the spiritual world to wait for herself.

"That……"

She stood up hastily. Since Hitomi was waiting for him, of course he couldn't keep her waiting for too long.

But after standing up, she realized that if she wanted to have a conversation in the spiritual world, it couldn't be done here.

"I want to be there too, right? Come to my room, Wei Xi."

…………

After the two sat side by side on the bed, Aika told Wei Xi her plan.

"I won't go there, Wei Xi, you have to work hard!"

"Eh?"

Wei Xi's eyes widened in surprise. She originally thought that "I also want to be there" that Aika said before meant accompanying her to the spiritual world.

Wei Xi thought about the possibility...

"Brother Aika...do you know what Hitomi wants to say to me?"

She asked dubiously, blinking her big watery eyes as if she wanted to get everything he knew out of Aika.

"I don't know. It's just that when she asked you by name, she probably meant that she didn't need me to be there. Otherwise, she would have asked us to go there together, right?"

In fact, Aika knew. Maybe Hitomi wanted to apologize for ignoring Wei Xi before. Also, the wristband outerwear that suddenly appeared at hand brought Wei Xi's underwear, which may have something to do with Hitomi.

If she wanted to talk to Wei Xi alone, Aika could only think of these two things.

But Aika didn't tell Wei Xi now. Letting Wei Xi know what Tong wanted to say in advance was a waste of Tong's thoughts, so Aika didn't say anything unnecessary.

"Do you want to get close to Hitomi?"

"Yeah... I want to be friends."

Wei Xi lowered her head slightly and said shyly.

"Then take advantage of this opportunity. Hitomi is not a bad boy, you should know that, right? So don't be afraid, just tell her everything you want to tell her."

Aika put her palm on the back of Wei Xi's hand, but Wei Xi's hand did not tremble because of nervousness.

It seems that Aika made a mistake this time. Wei Xi was not afraid of meeting Tong alone. Whether it was because of experiencing so many events or not, Wei Xi's mood had changed slightly. Although she had to face Hitomi whom she had only met a few times, Wei Xi didn't feel any nervousness about being able to talk to her.

I had the same feeling when facing the Light Flame Sword. Maybe it's because of the mutual attraction between magic costumes, rather than the fear of the unknown when facing strangers.

"I will have a good talk with Hitomi. For the sake of brother Aika, and for myself."

"'For myself'?"

Before Aika understood the meaning of Wei Xi's last words, the petite figure disappeared.

He felt the disappearing warmth from his palms with a sense of disappointment, and felt shaken because he had not seen through Wei Xi's thoughts for the first time.

But this is exactly the problem that you will inevitably face in a long-term relationship. Girls are like a book that can never be finished. Even if you finish reading the page in your hand, you will never know what kind of story is behind it.

It is precisely because of this that people can read endlessly and keep reading with interest.

Aika used to think she knew Luo Luo and Ling very well, as well as many, many other people... The constant personal experiences made Aika realize that she actually didn't understand them at all, and thinking so was just arrogance.

These changes in Wei Xi may have partly to do with herself, but more of it is the result of her own efforts and continuous thinking, so she gradually became less easy for Aika to see through at a glance.

Thinking back to Wei Xi in the past, the feeling left to Aika is also worth remembering. Because she is so simple and clear to the eyes, it is very easy to interact with her.

Wei Xi, who has now become a little more complicated, has aroused Aika's interest in exploring her from different aspects. In order to continue to hold Wei Xi's little hand and move forward together, Aika must work harder to get closer to her.
