Chapter 18 Moving
The same Guanbuzi City, the same abandoned building, the same fourth-floor room, the same characters, the only difference is time, and it has been more than three years since the last time something like this happened to them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Eleven-year-old, Shinji Makiri, who has grown a lot taller.
At the age of ten, the cherry blossoms of the masaki began to develop gradually.
Sixteen years old, she is already a girl in the flower season, and she is a slim shallow god Fujino.
As well as Orange Aosaki, who has not changed at all, the passage of time has changed many things, but it has not left a trace on the body of this crown puppeteer, and she is still stuck in the most beautiful age of women.
But at this moment, the current image of this woman is really not beautiful.
With a disheveled head, a gray face, a white shirt with wrinkled folds, and the corners of the neckline and cuffs are stained with colors that are difficult to wash off at a glance, he looks like a construction worker who has worked on a construction site for a day.
In contrast, the image of the three minors is much better, although it is also stained with a lot of dust, but in general it is still in the category of being able to see people.
This is largely related to the outfit of the trio, the uniform gray tracksuit, the uniform hair cover mask, so that the owner is free from dust.
That's right, Shen Er and the others came prepared.
As early as half a month ago, they arrived in Guanbuzi City, during which they have been running around the government, logistics, water supply, power supply, gas departments and companies, and also sent a few dolls to a certain exhibition, until yesterday, Orange finally completed all the formalities and can rightfully move into this building.
The first workshop is of course a mountain hut near Mt. Enzo prepared by the Makiri family for Orange, but the casual character of the orange wind is not destined to live in one place for too long, and it is only a matter of time before he leaves.
Not long after Yustisa and Alice Phil's bodies were officially adjusted, Orange left Fuyuki City to continue her tour of Japan. This time it was not one person, but three more oil bottles, the three minors who are now accompanying the orange.
Shinji had always had the idea of traveling after the Holy Grail War, and originally planned to leave home when Kenneth was almost recovered, first touring Japan, then all the way west, China, India, the Middle East, Central Europe, and finally to London, England, to study at the Clock Tower.
However, plans don't change as quickly as they do, and Ustisa has a body of her own, no longer needs to obtain magic from the outside, and is able to be self-sufficient. And Kenneth's treatment, Shinji couldn't help, and he didn't want to repeat elementary school, so Orange said he wanted to go out for a walk, so he went with her.
When he left, Sakura quit and pulled Shinji and said that he would go with him. Shinji wanted to oppose it, but after thinking about it, the parents' opposition was nothing more than the consideration of growth, safety, self-care and academics.
You don't need to worry about growing up with yourself.,I'll keep my sister from having any wrong perception.。
In terms of safety, the same is true, a crown puppeteer, a servant-level combat power protection, if you don't have some ancient families or forces, there will be no problems, and having the old driver of Orange to lead the way does not eliminate the possibility of violating taboos because of ignorance.
Ability to take care of oneself...... Well, although it's a little hard to say, Sakura is indeed the person with the strongest self-care ability in the family, and with her, it's Shinji who is relaxed.
Academics - I don't know if it's intentional or not, Skaha has left the modern knowledge of the Holy Grail to the Servant in the inheritance of the "Wisdom of the Demon Realm", and the basic education at this stage is of little significance to Sakura.
In this case, there is nothing wrong with taking Sakura with her, as a magician, as the heir of the Maki family, sooner or later she will have to leave the protection of the family and go to take charge of herself.
As for Fujino, she is a disciple of Orange, and the most important task at this stage is to learn from Orange, so naturally she will follow Orange wherever she goes.
This trip was more than three years. During this time, the four of them traveled to almost every prefecture in Japan (in Japan, the definition of prefecture is similar to that of a province in China), and every city. It's almost, because there's a city they didn't go to.
Misaki City is a small city less than an hour's drive from Kanfuko City, which is the hometown of oranges and the land managed by the Aozaki family. After Orange lost to her sister Aoko, she was cursed by her sister, and if she didn't break the curse, she would never be able to return to her hometown, and since then, Orange has not set foot in Misaki City.
Shinji is skeptical of this claim:
First of all, Aoko's magic level is very average, and this long-term forbidden curse is far beyond her ability.
Secondly, he had heard rumors more than once that the orange had long since lifted the curse.
It's just that the physical curse can be solved, but the psychological shadow is difficult to overcome. Just like you can wake up a person who is asleep, but you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, if the knot in Orange's heart is not untied, she will not go back for a day. So, Shinji chose to remain silent, and at most handed a cigarette when he passed by, and that's all he could do.
As she walked, Orange was tired from the wind and wanted to rest, so she returned to the city closest to her hometown, and this time, she planned to stay here for a while. The building, which represents the origin, was chosen by her as her residence, workshop, and office for her livelihood.
Today is the day of moving, and Orange unceremoniously pulled Shinji and others over to clean up. In order to take revenge on Orange for his bad behavior of employing underage child labor, Shinji took Sakura and Fujino to quietly buy three cleaning suits, but did not prepare them for Orange.
As a result, that's how it turned out - seeing the orange's embarrassed appearance, Shinji couldn't help but laugh.
Sensing the malice in Shinji's smile, Orange became angry and casually sketched a lune representing the wind.
In the next second, an updraft swept the dust on the ground and scraped Shinji's face.
"How dare you sneak attack!" Shinji spat out a mouthful of dust, carved a rune symbolizing water with one hand to reduce dust, and with the other hand picked up a ball of water from the basin and smashed it over.
Unexpectedly, the orange did not dodge or dodge, and continued to make dust while mocking.
"Thanks, I just wanted to wash the dust off my body. ”
"Then let's go the extra mile. Shinji didn't even use the magic trick, and directly picked up the basin and splashed water.
The living room suddenly became a mess.
Fujino and Sakura, who were tidying up the room, glanced at each other, skillfully closed the door, and then began to tidy up the important things in the living room as quickly as possible, so as not to be affected by the "battle" between the two.
Similar "battles" have happened many times during the trip, and the two girls have long been accustomed to it from the initial incomprehension and dissuasion, to the numbness and evasion, and then to the skillful aftermath and loss reduction.
When the fight is almost over, and the rest of the workshop is almost cleaned up, Sakura and Fujino will each pull Shinji and Orange to change clothes and tidy up their images.
At this time, it was already evening, and Orange leaned on the sofa and looked at the new workshop, and nodded with satisfaction:
"It's much more pleasing to the eye. ”
"It's good to look at, now let's talk about the pay. Shinji sat across from the orange and looked at her with squinted eyes, "We've worked for eight hours, shouldn't you say something?" ”
"I should have said something, but I've been short on money lately, so I can only ask you to eat a little. Orange touched her face embarrassedly.
"That's not right. Shen Er frowned, "The final payment of the workshop was settled last week, and you also took a small seven-figure income from the previous exhibition, and you spent it again?"
"Aha. Orange smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.
Fujino explained for the teacher: "Yesterday the teacher saw a clay puppet that is said to be ancient China, and he ......."
"I've also served your loser ability. Shinji sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I owe it first, today I have a treat, and the seafood buffet will go." ”
"Anyway, you're not short of money, so I'm not polite to you, let's go. ”
Just as Orange got up to get his coat, the sound of "dong dong dong" suddenly sounded.
