In the mid-90s of the 20th century, Japan's real estate bubble burst, and the entire Japanese economy fell into an unprecedented recession. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the rapid economic development in the 70s and 80s, new real estate projects have sprung up all over Japan. However, many "spring shoots" have not yet grown, and the depression period is coming. Enterprises that invest in the construction of real estate cannot afford the follow-up financial pressure, resulting in the unfinished construction of many real estate. In various cities in Japan, especially in emerging economic regions, all kinds of unfinished abandoned real estate can be found everywhere.

Shinji, Sakura, and Fujino are currently in front of such a building.

Similar to many unfinished buildings, the exterior of the building is there, but the interior decoration is completely absent, and the walls and floors are still bare cement.

When completed, it should have been a six-story building, but no more than four floors exist today. Generally speaking, it is most efficient to start a high-rise building from the top floor, but the building should still be built in the same way as before. Halfway through the construction, it was abandoned, and the five floors that had been built became the roof.

Although there is a tall concrete wall around the building, it is not difficult to enter. It's a miracle that it wasn't used as a secret base by the kids in the neighborhood, and all in all it was a building with an anomalous aura.

"Is the person my brother is looking for?" Sakura looked around curiously with big purple eyes.

Shinji took one last look at the note in his hand, then at the nameplate on the outer wall, and confirmed, "If Mr. Kenneth's information is not wrong, it should be here." Let's go, let's go inside. ”

When he stepped through the door, Shinji felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience, and Sakura and Fujino, who were following him, also stopped.

Shinji pressed his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Sakura-chan, Fujino, do you feel anything?"

"There was a weird feeling that we weren't welcome. Fujino thought for a moment and said.

"It's an enchantment. Sakura stretched out her right hand and was about to draw runes in the air.

"No, you can't. Shinji waved his hand at his sister, "Breaking the barrier without the master's permission is a unilateral declaration of war, and when you get home, you should ask Mr. Kenneth more about the common sense of the magic world." ”

"Okay, brother. Sakura nodded softly, "But this enchantment—"

"It's fine, it shouldn't be aggressive. If so, my brother will protect you. ”

"Hmm. ”

Hearing her brother say this, Sakura suddenly smiled, and the intimacy between the brother and sister made Fujino's eyes show a faint envy.

"You guys have a good relationship. ”

Shinji touched the little head of his smiling sister and said to Fujino, "In the future, you will also be one of us." ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

Fujino also smiled, she rarely smiled after losing her sense of pain, but after meeting this boy, her smile became more and more.

"Sakura-chan, tell Sister Fujino what an enchantment is. ”

"Barriers are things that are meant to isolate—"

In Sakura's immature voice, the group stepped into the building.

The word "enchantment" originated in Buddhism, which completely separated the outside world from the sacred realm, and at some point became a general term for magician amulet.

The low-level enchantment is just a wall like glass, and the high-level enchantment will be attached with various spiritual hints, so that people will not be aware of the existence of the enchantment, and the highest-level enchantment can even cover the space.

Hanging over the exterior of the building is a high-level suggestive enchantment. People who don't come here for a purpose won't be aware of this hint here, and they won't feel the anomaly of the anomaly, the enchantment that anyone would miss on the map, and it's an enchantment that only a good magician would construct.

In the corridor on the fourth floor of the building, Shinji meets the magician who arranges the enchantment.

This is a young woman who looks like she is in her mid-twenties, wearing a pair of glasses, her long red hair is tied into a ponytail and hanging down her head, and a simple white shirt outlines the rare hot curves of oriental women, and also makes this woman have a little more urban white-collar atmosphere.

Except for the white shirt and glasses frames, the woman's outfit was orange, orange trench coat, orange studs, orange nail polish, orange necklace, and even the cigarette she kept at hand was orange packaging, and it looked like orange had crazy paranoia - obviously this color itself was a silent irony to her.

That being said, the female magician also has an "orange" in her name, so maybe she doesn't care about it for a long time.

Her name is Aozaki Orange, and she is the most important target of Shinji's trip.

"Oh, there are guests? or three lovely little guests. Orange spat out an eye circle, with a surprise on his face, "This is not a playground, what are you, how are you?"

The deliberately accentuated tail note shows Orange's strong confidence in the enchantment that wraps around the building.

Shinji smiled slightly: "Just walked in." ”

"Oh?" Orange narrowed, "It doesn't look like it was by mistake, it came to me?"

"Exactly, Miss Orange, I'm sorry to visit you without permission. A little courtesy is not a respect. Shinji said, pulling out a cuboid red box from his handbag and tossing it over.

The orange caught it casually, and when he caught a glimpse of two eye-catching Chinese traditional Chinese characters on the surface of the box, the surprised expression on his face became even stronger.

"It's 'dragon smoke'? I'm starting to wonder who told you I was here. ”

"Long Yan" is produced in Taiwan, and even in Taiwan itself is a very niche cigarette with a very unique taste, and it is a kind of cigarette that oranges are quite preferred.

"The rules of the industry, Miss Orange understands. "Shen Er has a hard time, so he can only pretend to be false.

The person who tells Shinji Orange that he likes "dragon smoke" is called "Nasu Mushroom", and he is not in this world, and Orange does not know him.

The person who tells Shinji Orange that this is here is Kenneth. This person Orange knows him, because the puppeteer who helped Kenneth regenerate his body is Orange, but Kenneth is now "missing". Shinji won't reveal anything until Kenneth recovers.

Seeing that Shinji didn't want to say it, the orange didn't get entangled, skillfully opened the box, took out a box of cigarettes, opened the seal, took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a beautiful puff, and then said: "If you don't say it, don't say it, the person who will come to see me with this kind of 'dragon smoke' will never be my enemy." Say, what's the matter with me?"

"Before that, why don't you invite me to sit in your workshop?" Shinji hadn't visited any other magician's workshop yet, and Shinji was even more curious about the "crown" magician's workshop with only ten people in the world.

"Unfortunately, I didn't have a workshop, it's just a temporary place to stay, and I'm currently touring Japan. ”

Orange got up from the couch and pushed open the door.

"If you don't dislike it, just come in and sit, it's really not appropriate to talk about business in the hallway. ”
