Sometimes, having money can do whatever you want, such as eating hot pot while soaking in a hot spring.

There is no such service in the hot spring inn, but the guests have money, so there is a hot hot pot.

On the side of a mountain south of Trapani, there is a semi-open hot spring where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains while soaking in the pool.

It's just that now at the end of winter, there are no flowers, no leaves and no snow on the mountain, and there is no scenery to speak of with bare tree trunks.

The girls in the hot springs simply asked the waiters at the inn and the girls to put hot pots in the pool.

The freshest meat nowadays is the fish in the river downstream of the hot springs.

Because of the hot spring water, the small river downstream does not freeze all year round.

The river is lush with aquatic plants, and it is very convenient to catch fish.

A few catties of fish are caught, and after disemboweling and removing the scales, the boneless flesh on both sides is removed, cut into thin slices, and stacked in layers on a plate.

Put the head and tail, fish bones and lamb bones left over from the fish cut into the pot together, add water and then put a little spices and wine, boil over high heat enough to simmer slowly, and finally only take the soup and pour it into the hot pot, put in a few mushrooms soaked in water and boil.

A set of stone tables and chairs are placed in the center of the hot spring pool, and the charcoal fire in the small charcoal stove is red, and the boiling pot is bubbling with bubbles.

The girls in the hot springs hold chopsticks in their hands, put the fish fillets into the boiling pot, cook them, and dip them in their favorite seasonings.

Around the hot spring pool, there are five artifacts: the Demon Breaker Sword, the Ten Thousand Law Scepter, a broom with a purple bag, a Thunder Blade, and an Ice Spear.

In addition to Flicka, the tool spirit of the Ten Thousand Magic Scepters, who is still missing, the four machine spirits of Freya, Ada, Donna, and Skati are eating happily in the pool.

The warm hot springs and hot pot made these four girls not only red, but also their whole bodies.

Together, the five artifacts form an enchantment that makes it impossible for people outside to see or hear what is happening in the pool.

Freya, who had eaten the most, said as she ate, "It seems like we've never eaten together like this." ”

Donna, who was sitting across from her, gave her a blank look and said, "Who wanted to eat with you before?"

"Not only do you eat more, you talk more nonsense. ”

Freya said helplessly: "It was all forced. ”

Drinking a little wine, Skaty asks Freya, "Flica ...... she"

Freya shook her head and said, "She chose her own path, so let her go down." ”

Skati nodded, then took a sip of the wine.

She then asked, "What do you think of Charles?"

Ada, who was sitting across from her, said, "It's a good person, but it's a pity ......"

"It's a pity he didn't sleep with you?" Freya quipped, "unless you take the initiative, such as drugging, he won't take the initiative." ”

Skati frowned and said, "Doesn't he treat Ada as a human?"

"On the contrary, it is he who treats us as human beings like himself, and that is why he respects us," Freya said. ”

"One of our former owners had signed a contract with us, and he made up my salary for previous years. ”

The other three girls all shook their heads.

Danna soaks the fish fillet and says, "He treats us so well, so let's repay him by doing our best to complete the task he has set." ”

"His 'Project 936' had better be completed by the end of June, otherwise it won't be in time for his August battle, and we only have four months left. ”

The girls nodded as they ate the fillet.

Donna continued: "Then this '936 Project' will be presided over by me, first of all, ......"

"Wait!" Freya's chopsticks stopped on top of the hot pot, with a slice of sashimi still on them.

She said to Donna with an unkind expression, "Why are you presiding?"

Danna said as a matter of course: "This magic is based on electricity, and I have already completed the basic structure, you can cooperate with me to complete it, this is naturally presided over by me." ”

"No, no, no. Freya shook her head and said, "I was the first to know him, so everyone should be the leader." ”

"At the same time, I know him best, and under my auspices, I can develop the magic that best suits his needs. ”

Donna's face suddenly turned cloudy, and she said, "Charles gave you away after seeing you once, and you are obviously not that important in his heart." ”

"I've fought with him against the Four-Winged Fire Dragon, and I have a good friendship. ”

"And he asked me to train his buddies, which shows that he has faith in me. ”

Freya shook her head and said, "He's just asking you to train your friends, and I've been teaching his apprentices for the past few years, which shows that he trusts me even more." ”

After eating the fillet, she continued: "And his plan is to materialize this magic, not that I brag, now there is no one among the sisters who is better at materializing magic than me, and I have been learning it for the past few years." ”

Danna "hehe" twice and said, "Isn't it just that you were given away as a gift, and then you had to work to earn money......

Freya glared at Donna angrily.

At this time, Ida on the side hurriedly spoke up to stop her, and she said, "Everyone, don't be impatient, listen to me first." ”

"I know that you all have extremely deep research in your respective fields, but when it comes to the synthesis and integration of multi-element composite magic. ”

"As we all know, the hardest part of multi-element compound magic is how to make one plus one greater than two, and that's obviously what I'm better at. ”

"Therefore, it is most appropriate for me to preside over this work. ”

"Isn't it just that I want to find an opportunity to find a sense ......of presence in front of him and brush up on my favorability?" ”

Freya also said: "In the past, it was others who brushed our favorability, how did you turn it the other way around?"

The situation in the hot spring pool suddenly became tense.

Silkati, who was silently eating fish fillets and drinking wine on the side, shook his head and said, "Don't fight, everyone. ”

Freya, Ada, and Donna suddenly calmed down.

"We shouldn't be arguing about that. Freya said.

Ada and Donna nodded, they had seen the destruction of their team due to internal disunity.

"Of the four of us, I am the closest to Charles, and he has made me a knight, so I will be in charge of the work this time. ”

The other three almost flipped the table.

Freya almost jumped up, and she asked a little excitedly, "When did he canonize you?"

Scarty said seriously: "When I first arrived in Trapani City, Charles made me a knight, and I completed his test, and Donna was also present. ”

When she thought about it for a moment, she suddenly remembered that in the dining room, Charles patted Skaty on the shoulder, laughingly called her her her own knight, and told her to win the drinking contest.

The canonization of the line of fire has a long history, and it is very common in wars, where the nobles will canonize knights as junior officers before the start of the war, and will also canonize knights before the battle to improve morale, and even canonize guards as knights to command the army or negotiate surrender with the enemy when the situation is chaotic.

If Scarty were more serious, Charles's approach would have made her his own knight.

Donna hurriedly said, "Charles was just joking with you at that time. ”

"He tapped me on the shoulder, gave me orders, and I completed the task, and the whole process was in order, and he wouldn't have done it all if he was joking." ”

Freya followed, "He just told you to drink, not to go to war." ”

Skati glanced at her and said, "The dining table is like a battlefield, and you have been saying this for almost two thousand years. ”

Ida said, "Did he prepare a knighthood ring for you?"

Skati said: "Do we see fewer examples of getting on the boat first and then paying the ticket?"

Now the other three are out of line, and this problem can only be solved by bringing Charles in.
