“Mmm~”
Facing the setting sun, Lynae stretched to her heart’s content.
At this moment Ryuji recalled that earlier the other party had said she wanted to take him and Rover to collect some kind of tape.
But looking at it now, it should just be that the other party wanted to drag him and Rover along to play a while longer.
“Phew, today’s weather is also really nice. Racing with the evening glow and the breeze is the best after all!” As she spoke, Lynae turned around to look at Ryuji and Rover.
“How was it? Isn’t racing super satisfying?”
Ryuji could feel that these words of the other party were mostly directed at him.
Rover had been very calm the entire way.
She had quickly adapted to Lynae’s vehicle speed.
It looked like she had frequently faced this kind of stimulating situation in the past.
But Ryuji was not like that.
The other party could tell that Ryuji had been restrained the entire way while driving the motorcycle.
“It was alright. It’s the first time I’ve driven a motorcycle this fast.”
Ryuji recalled the feeling from just now.
To be honest, in the past he had rather looked down on the behavior of racing motorcycles.
After all, it was easy to associate it with bad things like street racing or ghost-fire youths.
But after being taken around for a circle by Lynae, he no longer thought that way.
The high speed he had never experienced before, combined with the beautiful scenery beside him and the company of friends—Ryuji felt that during the process of driving…
“Very free, very carefree, as if everything had been thrown off.” This was his formal reply to Lynae.
“Right right! In the future if Ryuji races with me more often you’ll definitely like this feeling even more!”
After hearing Ryuji’s reply, Lynae activated the rollers on her shoes and circled around Ryuji and Rover in place.
“Occasionally you also need to pay attention to safety. You can’t just randomly increase speed.”
Regarding this, Rover helplessly reminded Lynae from the side.
Recalling her previous popularization and care toward him, Ryuji felt that Rover possessed quite a few mother-hen attributes.
“Hehe, I’ll pay attention.”
After Lynae pressed both hands together and apologetically blinked toward Rover, she once again faced the setting sun while stretching a hand forward to grasp at the air.
Ryuji remembered she had said that the sky here was false.
Looking at it this way, the other party making this grasping motion toward the false sun actually carried quite a bit of artistic conception.
“Thank you both, Rover, Ryuji, for being willing to race together with me.” Lynae’s appearance suddenly became serious. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“Suddenly speaking like this makes people feel a bit worried, as if you’re about to do something big.” Ryuji teased once.
And hearing Ryuji speak like this, Lynae’s brows lifted slightly, then she once again revealed her signature cheerful smile.
“It’s nothing. I just really appreciate that you two were willing to go for a ride with me. Everyone at the Academy is usually very busy.” As Lynae spoke, she looked in the direction of the Academy.
“But I don’t resent them. On the contrary, I really like the way they rise up and chase after their goals. It’s full of vitality. After seeing it, it makes people want to do the same.”
Hearing her say this, Ryuji also couldn’t help looking toward the Academy.
Although at this moment it was already the time when the sun was about to set, there were still many students rushing about.
Ryuji thought they were probably doing this for the sake of their studies.
“To be honest, I don’t really understand.” Ryuji suddenly said at this moment.
In his impression, rushing about for the sake of studies was not something particularly worthy of praise.
Everyone would frown while cursing as they were forced to move their feet forward.
Most people came to university only so they could leave faster.
This was not the place where their goals lay.
At most it could only be counted as a transfer station or resting room in life.
And upon hearing these words of Ryuji’s, Lynae did not rush to refute him.
She only leisurely spun around in place.
“That’s because Ryuji has only just arrived at the Academy not long ago. Later you will see it—the appearance of the students smiling as they resolutely advance forward.”
As she spoke, Lynae came over to circle around Ryuji.
“When that time comes you will understand why I like the Academy so much. Maybe afterward you’ll be infected too.”
Slap.
At this moment, Rover came to Ryuji’s side and placed her hand on his shoulder.
Ryuji looked toward the other party’s face and discovered that those beautiful golden pupils were currently looking at him with bright intensity.
Although Rover said nothing, he felt that those golden pupils seemed to be encouraging him.
“Thank you both.”
Faced with their goodwill, Ryuji certainly would not be so tactless as to say any more cold-water-pouring words, so he smiled and expressed his thanks.
“Hehe, let’s go. Next, as your senior, I’ll take you to the place where the tapes are engraved.” As she spoke, Lynae once again swung a leg over her vehicle.
“Then we’ll trouble Senior Lynae.” Rover suddenly teased the other party once.
“Uwah, just call me Lynae directly. I feel like I’m still a bit unworthy of being called senior.”
Hearing this different form of address from Rover, Lynae somewhat embarrassedly scratched her head.
Moreover she felt that directly calling each other by name made the relationship sound even better. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Hum hum hum!
Afterward, Ryuji and Rover rode their motorcycles and followed Lynae to the Starward Riseway that had been introduced earlier.
After parking the vehicles, Lynae pointed for Ryuji and Rover at the vertical track in front of them that led directly to the sky.
“This is your next goal. Once the train arrives on the track, you just need to board it and reach the research institute above.”
After getting closer, Ryuji discovered that this track was much larger than he had previously imagined.
“Because the Void Matter Magnetic Storm has been active recently, the Academy has closed the path to the surface of the Roya Frostlands.”
While introducing this to Ryuji and Rover, Lynae somewhat embarrassedly scratched her cheek.
“I can only wait until there’s time later to take you up. After all, this is a special period right now.”
She seemed to feel a bit of self-reproach that as a senior she had been unable to guide Ryuji and the others.
“It’s fine. Rover and I have only just arrived here. Afterward we’ll probably first get used to Academy life before considering going to the surface of the Frostlands.”
These words of comfort from Ryuji made Lynae let out a breath of relief.
“Then it’s a deal! But next when you go to engrave the tapes I won’t be able to take you, because…”
Hum hum hum hum!
Before Lynae had finished speaking, the train had already arrived on the track not far away with a roar.
“This fast! Ugh… I’m really sorry, Ryuji, Rover! If I skip class again afterward I’ll completely fail!”
As she spoke, Lynae once again pressed both hands together and slightly bowed to express apology.
Ryuji and Rover were not angry.
They only smiled helplessly at this.
“You hurry and go deal with your matters. Next Ryuji and I will keep each other company, so there’s definitely no problem.” Rover said gently.
“Mm! If anything happens afterward, contact me with a message on the terminal!”
As Lynae spoke she ran off.
Afterward, Rover looked at Ryuji beside her.
“Let’s go.”
“Mm.”
Because Ryuji did not have that terminal, next even if Lynae really sent them a message, he could only take the initiative to stick close to Rover.
And right after Lynae left the field of vision of Rover and Ryuji, her expression suddenly became serious, completely unlike the cheerful and lively appearance from before.
