Endless Silver Machine

The Kingdom of Tebiri consists of twelve central cities and scattered towns around them. Counting uninhabited natural ecological areas, the total territory of the Kingdom is comparable to that of the Bis Empire.

Because the Bisi Empire actively communicated with neighboring countries, learned and introduced advanced technologies and diverse ideas from various countries, it was far ahead in the continent's reconstruction work after the "cross-border war".

In contrast, the Tebiri Kingdom, where human residents account for 95% of the total population, feels somewhat complacent due to its different policies from the Bis Empire. In the news in neutral areas, you can occasionally hear that the Tebiri Kingdom is lagging behind in its recovery and development due to various complex reasons.

This can be seen from the fact that the transportation in the city is still steam train.

"Brother Aika, if you feel tired, please exchange with me..."

"That's nothing. Besides, you can't reach the upper handrail, right?"

"Woo..."

Once again being refuted by Aika with a correct argument, Wei Xi had no choice but to stop persisting.

After the two got off the airship at the airport, they boarded the train from the starting station and immediately found two single-row seats at the front and rear. But the train kept stopping, and more and more passengers got on the train. Aika gave up her seat to an old grandmother, and she grabbed the armrest above her head with one hand and stood next to Wei Xi's seat. , and used his body to help her block the pushing passengers.

I don’t remember this is the first time Wei Xi has asked to give up her seat to Aika. Only enjoying it herself seemed to make her restless.

Wei Xi kept stealing glances at Aika, who still had their luggage stacked next to her.

Aika also noticed the eyes that kept falling on her. This silent resistance made him feel very guilty, but he really couldn't find a way to get the best of both worlds.

So he deliberately ignored the awkward Wei Xi.

Seeing that Aika didn't respond at all, Wei Xi finally couldn't hold it any longer and stood up from her seat with a bang. Except for Aika, no one cared about the little girl's sudden behavior.

"What are you doing? If you suddenly brake..."

"..."

Wei Xi grabbed Aika's clothes without saying a word, and the weak force let Aika know Wei Xi's plan.

"Didn't I say it..."

"Brother Aika, sit down first!"

"Well……"

The car was already very crowded, and it was impossible for Aika to accompany Wei Xi to fool around. In short, do what she wants. If she knows that it will be difficult for her to stand still in the swaying carriage if she can't reach the armrest, she will probably compromise.

Aika held the suitcase while sitting on the seat given up by Wei Xi.

Wei Xi's body temperature still remained on the seat.

"Okay, now I listen to you and sit down. What are you going to do?"

"in this way……"

There was a distance between the two seats, and Wei Xi used her small body to squeeze in.

The warm, soft but elastic part pressed against Aika's thigh.

Wei Xi carefully sat on Aika's lap.

"This way both of us can sit..."

I couldn't feel much weight... Aika didn't put any effort in picking up Wei Xi, so this was expected.

Wei Xi is just a child, and this kind of intimate behavior is still within the acceptable range of the public. What made Aika's heart beat faster was Wei Xi's next move.

In order to reduce the weight that Aika's knees had to bear, she worked hard to move her body back so that her little head could rest on Aika's chest.

"Wei Xi, that's enough, don't go any further..."

The warm and soft touch stimulated Aika's senses, and the physiological congestion was difficult to control by his own will alone.

If Wei Xi felt uncomfortable and was noticed, he might never have the courage to face her again.

"Is this okay..."

Wei Xi stopped moving her body and gently rested her head on Aika's chest.

One or two raised hairs gently tickled Aika's chin as the train rocked, and the slightly itchy commotion was unexpectedly very comfortable.

…………

If the journey is long, even if Wei Xi's body is very light, Aika's thighs will feel numb due to blocked blood flow. Fortunately, Principal Phyllis helped them arrive at the hotel they booked after two stops.

The hotel that Principal Phyllis booked for the two of them was not a very ostentatious type. It had the same simple appearance as the hotel run by Tutor Tara's grandfather in Pfa Town. Shuoyue Academy has paid for one month's accommodation in advance. Aika and Wei Xi only needed to verify their identities with PDAs at the counter and got two identical room keys.

The two of them lived in the same room, which was decided by Principal Phyllis for safety reasons.

The elevator stopped at the third floor. The floor of the hotel corridor was covered with carpets that could reduce the sound of footsteps. Wei Xi curiously took small steps on the carpet in a circle.

"The room is... Wei Xi, over here."

There are two corridors on this floor leading in different directions. A reminder board is hung on the wall opposite the elevator, summarizing the numbers of all the rooms on the left and right.

Following the row of doors, the two found the number of their room. Aika turned the key in her hand, and the door lock of the room clicked open. He turned the doorknob and entered the small room that would become his sanctuary within a month.

"Wow……"

Wei Xi, who was following behind, was a little surprised after walking through the entrance hall.

A glass chandelier decorated with elegant stripes hangs from the ceiling, a brown bedside table is sandwiched between the two beds, and there are two seats placed next to the rattan table by the window.

Aika put the two suitcases where they were, walked over and opened the curtains, opened the locked window to ventilate the room.

Wei Xi used both hands to lift down the travel bag that had been stacked on the suitcase. Although I didn’t bring many daily necessities, the travel bag was still too heavy to carry alone, so I put it on Aika’s suitcase and dragged it along.

She tried hard to lift her travel bag to the bed and put it down. She sat on the edge of the bed and her body sank in easily.

"It's so soft here..."

Wei Xi put her hands on the edge of the bed and repeated the cute movements of bouncing up and falling down again and again.

"What are you doing?"

Aika clapped her hands and turned around just in time to see this scene and asked curiously.

Wei Xi blushed suddenly and buried her face in the sheets.

"nothing……"

Oops... Brother Aika must think I'm naive, right? The reason I didn’t laugh was because Brother Aika was very mature and worried about my mood... It was just because of my body that I couldn’t act mature in other aspects...

Of course Aika couldn't feel the waves in Wei Xi's heart now. Seeing her burying her face in the soft sheets and kicking her feet feebly, Aika didn't take it seriously and dragged her suitcase to another bed. Laying the box sideways and opening it, he began to sort out the things he would need for his future life.

After a while, Wei Xi seemed to have sorted out her mood and slowly climbed out of bed. She lowered her head and silently began to pack her travel bag.

Put some odds and ends on the bedside table, and then put the changes of clothes you brought into the standing wardrobe divided into two rooms.

"By the way, Wei Xi. Let's buy you a new coat tomorrow."

The coat Wei Xi wore when she set out was torn in the airship accident. Fortunately, only the coat was damaged and she put on a new one after she woke up. However, winter coats are very heavy, so they only brought just enough pieces to change.

"No need, those kind of clothes are very expensive, just wait until you get home..."

"There are still two months until you can go home. Do you plan to keep wearing this outfit forever?"

"..."

"It just so happens that tomorrow's plan has been decided." Aika hung the clothes in the closet one by one. "If you have time, you can also visit other cities. You can visit here two or three times in a month. ”

Wei Xi never took out her clothes from her travel bag, probably because she didn't want boys to see her underwear. Aika speeded up the cleaning in order not to waste Wei Xi's time.

In fact, it wasn't that Wei Xi was unwilling, but she didn't know what kind of reaction Aika would have after seeing it, so she didn't act for a long time. She bought all her current clothes accompanied by Luoluo and Ling, but they didn't give any suggestions, so Wei Xi just chose clothes based on her own feelings.

Even if I think the style is cute and comfortable to wear, I don’t know how it will feel in the eyes of others.

"Woo..."

Wei Xi didn't know this before, but when she actually lived in the same room with him, she realized that there were actually many aspects to consider.

Where Aika can't see, Wei Xi won't feel restricted in anything she does. But now, every move will be watched by him.

How to avoid boring Aika? Wei Xi has been struggling with this issue.

"Wei Xi, I've finished packing. You can also put away the clothes."

After finishing tidying up her wardrobe, Aika returned to the bed and urged Wei Xi.

"Um……"

She hugged the travel bag with most of the items out to her chest and walked quickly to the closet door.

"It's very easy to open..."

While muttering, Wei Xi did not stop moving her hands.

"If you want to see it, you can see it..."

Of course the wardrobe cannot be locked. If Aika falls asleep one day, or accidentally makes the wrong allocation of the wardrobe for any other reason, then he will see everything...

Thinking about the slim possibility of this happening, Wei Xi folded her underwear and socks and put them in the lower drawer of the wardrobe. After closing them, she pushed them in once or twice to make sure they were correct before standing up.

A feeling of dizziness came over me. Did you squat for too long just now? Wei Xi's body shook.

"Is it okay?"

The shaking shouldn't be obvious, but I don't know why Aika noticed it. He stopped what he was doing and walked over.

"It's okay, it happens sometimes..."

"Anemia?"

"Maybe a little bit...it doesn't matter now..."

"Go to bed early. I haven't had a good sleep these two nights."

Aika handed the water bottle to Wei Xi. There was still some water left in the bottle. There is a drinking water device in the room, so finish what you bought on the airship first.

"Thanks……"

Wei Xi took it and unscrewed the bottle cap.

Gulu.

Holding the mouth of the bottle, the cool drinking water flowed into her mouth, and her throat moved slightly.

"etc……"

Aika was about to say something, but immediately closed her mouth and looked away.

"What's wrong?"

After drinking the water, Wei Xi's complexion improved a lot compared to before, and her lips moistened by the water shone under the lamp.

That bottle was used by Aika.

He thought Wei Xi would pour the water into his cup instead of using it directly at the mouth of the bottle. It can also be seen from this that Wei Xi's condition is really bad. She usually always worries about things and would never make such a mistake... It can't be said to be a mistake, she just cares about it blindly...

The words were already in her throat, and Aika swallowed them back hard.

The girl herself didn't notice this kind of thing, and she took the initiative to bring it up. This would only embarrass her!

"Um?"

Wei Xi tilted her head, as if she didn't understand Aika's aggrieved expression. Putting the water bottle back on the bedside table, she walked towards the bathroom.

Aika glanced at her briefly. I don't know if it was an illusion, but her pace seemed a little hasty, but Aika couldn't think of the reason.

…………

In the bathroom, Wei Xi stood with her back to the locked door, her eyes looking at the white tiles on the floor without any emotion.

She did nothing, just lowered her head and stared at the ground beneath her feet. The bangs and the hanging hair on both sides hung down weakly.

It was really indirect... and he discovered it...

Two thoughts kept swirling in her mind, and the white in front of Wei Xi's eyes blurred into one piece. Normally, he would never do such a discourteous thing. One moment he was thinking about what to do so as not to offend Brother Aika, but the next moment he immediately took an even more outrageous action.

I can't feel the flow of time at all.

If she could hide here forever, Wei Xi would definitely not refuse.
