Endless Silver Machine

Two days have passed since the aviation magic ship "Yuktrashil" left the border of the Tebiri Kingdom.

Aika asked Lan Ming and Xia Luo to stay in the capital of the Tebiri Kingdom. Only they have the right to speak and decide on matters between countries, so the process of seeking an alliance with the Tebiri Kingdom is left to them. .

Aika temporarily put aside the troubles between the two countries and concentrated on completing the purpose of their trip - to find the World Tree on the other side of the ocean, and use her power to awaken the sleeping Wei Xi.

The flesh-and-blood Weir suffered great trauma in the two battles and did not regain consciousness during the two days of smooth sailing. And the haggard Misty stayed by his bedside and never stepped out of their room.

According to Hitomi's feeling, everyone is getting closer and closer to the root of the world - the World Tree "Yggdrasil". As for what this feeling is like, Hitomi doesn't seem to be able to explain.

"Hitomi, haven't you felt like sleeping lately?"

Hitomi, who was sitting on Aika's legs, shook her head slightly.

The raised pink hair gently tickled Aika's chin with this small movement, feeling a tickling sensation.

"Why do you ask that?"

She didn't look back, but still enjoyed the posture of leaning back against Aika and asked.

"You haven't gone back there to rest in the past two days. I was wondering if you have adapted to the environment here."

"Already adapted."

"Really? If it's true, then I'll be relieved." Aika's hands were holding Hitomi's shoulders in a regular manner. It always felt like she would slip off her legs accidentally while sitting like this, "Don't be brave. Oh, it doesn’t matter if you don’t specially come to accompany me, I’m just here to kill time.”

"'Yuktrassil' is a part of me, and it makes sense for me to be here."

"If you say that, it's true..."

Since Hitomi can't find anything to do, just let her stay here with him.

Hitomi, who appeared in this world as a girl, has not absorbed the magic particles around her like humans breathe air, so she must return to the spiritual world to make up for the consumption in the real world.

Some time ago, she had forced herself to stay in this world, and she didn't say anything about being unwell. As a result, she was always in a groggy state. It wasn't until Wei Xi and Guang explained that everyone knew she had such a physique.

Aika is still a little worried about Hitomi's physical condition, but she hasn't seemed to show any discomfort in the past two days, so I'd better believe her here.

Aika and Hitomi are now sitting in the cab, looking at the vast sky through the glass windows connecting the left and right front of the bridge.

"Yuctra Hill" is currently flying at an altitude of eight thousand meters above the ground, and has reached above the clouds. At this height, apart from the thick cumulus clouds that piled up beneath our feet like pure white cotton, there really wasn’t anything worth quietly admiring.

Originally, "Yuktrashil" did not need anyone on duty in the cab. However, Aika suddenly felt strangely empty and bored since the morning. She didn't want to do anything except sit quietly somewhere in a daze. After visiting Wei Xi in Liuyin's room, she came here to kill time.

"By the way, Hitomi, there's something I've been wanting to ask you..."

Hitomi's little head rubbed Aika's chest slightly, telling Aika that she was listening.

"Wei Xi and you both told me about some agreement between you, right? You also said before that you were helping Wei Xi because of that agreement. Is that really just the case?"

"Yes."

——Because I once promised Xue Chao Xiji that I would help her at this time.

Hitomi did say this before, but her answer remained unchanged this time. Although it seems that neither Hitomi nor Wei Xi is willing to reveal the content of the secret, Aika feels that such an important agreement does not seem to be the reason for Hitomi to take active actions for Wei Xi.

"Why did the master refuse that prince's request?"

"Is there any righteous reason for favoring my sister and partner?" Aika didn't expect that Hitomi would be interested in asking this kind of thing, but his answer was without much thought, "There is no special reason. Only by doing this can we save the world." Wei Xihe wants you to stay with us, then this must be done."

"Yeah……"

Hitomi seemed to have accepted this unthinking answer, and the reason she wanted seemed to be the same.
