Chapter 18: Wait for a meal

There were many pastries and fruits on the table, Atsumimaru happily nibbled on a piece of walnut cake, and Teacher Huiyin made a pot of tea for us to fill. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Asking for something is a puppet show, right?" The only thing I can think of that Hui Yin needs to discuss with me is a puppet show, and she shouldn't have consulted me if it was an educational or emotional issue.

"Yes, Miss Alice seemed to be inconvenient a few days ago, so I didn't take the liberty to ask for it, Miss Alice seemed to be okay at the banquet, right?"

"You're in good health," I said, "is there going to be a festival in the human world?" Are there any major festivals coming soon? ”

"No, that's not true, it's just that the summer vacation is coming, and I want to ask Miss Alice to hold a puppet show for the graduating class, the scale is not large, and it won't overwork you."

"No problem, I'm always available." I gladly agreed.

"Thank you Miss Alice on behalf of everyone, and you will be officially invited then."

"Hmm."

In the meantime, Patchy made an appointment with Ms. Huiyin to ask her for some language learning experience in the next few days, and Ms. Huiyin readily agreed, and the next thing should have been to talk and wait for the meal, but Ms. Huiyin, as the landlord and the cook, only spoke to us for less than three words before she left and planned to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch, before she once again solemnly thanked me - not only for the puppet show, but also for the kindness of letting our family Suika work for the temple house for a long time.

I was about to correct her description, Lori Ghost King is actually not "our family", she has already left the living room to go to the kitchen, and by the way, I didn't have time to say my advice to help the cook.

"Honestly, wait for the meal," said Miss Pachoury, who seemed to be inferior to me in her cooking skills, "and what if you go and cause trouble at the master's house." ”

"Even if it's one person, I can make a table of Western food!"

Miss Patchy's disdainful gaze shot straight at her, "Hmph, who can get used to those barbarian dishes in the age of civilization." ”

Ordinary Western food is very dramatic to be evaluated as savage cuisine by this typical Western aristocratic lady in the eyes of the Easterners, I thought so, although it is not a good word, I and Patsy have the same knowledge of homely cooking, if I have to rely on eating and drinking to enjoy life, I am now not willing to eat the dark dishes I have made in the traditional way of the United Kingdom, and it is really thanks to Miss Melly that she can eat the food I prepared for her in an ordinary way and not let me get off the stage, my favorability of her has increased a lot.

My tastes have recently been cultivated by Sanaka and Sanae, and Nanayao Witch-sama has apparently been spoiled by Miss Misuzu from the country where she is best at eatingβ€”among the affected people are of course the Vampire-sama and her family's later hired maid, Miss Sakuya.

"That's right! I have something very important for you to see," I pulled out a thin collection of Melly's essays from my bosom and placed it in front of the purple witch whose curiosity was aroused by my words, "I have to read them all carefully, and if I don't have enough skimming, I will go back to the shrine in the afternoon and read them a few more times." ”

"MWI extension?" She reads the cover first, "Just looking at the big headline doesn't seem to have anything to do with your major, right?" And the subtitle, Principles of Relative Spirituality? What is it? I've never heard of any other magician doing similar magical research to Alice? It's rare, at least until I entered Gensokyo, I had barely heard of a famous magician doing anything like that. ”

"Really? Ah,I think I'll be a lot easier if there are a lot of magic that overlap with my field for reference.,But it doesn't matter now.,The author of this book is the person I once mentioned to you.,A lost girl in the outside world who looks like Yakumo Ultraviolet.,It's just that the former reveals her age at first glance.,The latter is a genuine seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.,Remember? ”

"I have some impressions that you don't seem to hate her, and you gave her two enlightenment books?"

"That's right, that's the one."

"So what's wrong with this book? Influenced by you, ......" she looked at the cover, "Miss Maelupelle Hahn aspires to become a magician in the spiritual realm?" And in less than a year, some results have been achieved? However, it is difficult to express the results of magic research in a book alone, and it is not good to write a magic book in a hurry. ”

"Not at all! Anyway, we'll talk about it when you're done, and I'm not talking to you about Miss Melly, and it's not exactly the theoretical content, but as for the theoretical content and type, I think you'll be interested, and it may help you a little more than me. ”

"Doesn't seem to be what I thought? So what do you want to discuss? ”

"I can't tell, maybe it's an extrapolation about changes in the outside world or something. Ah, and remember to keep an eye out for the thank you list at the end. ”

"Since you say so, and of course I'm interested in the title, it's right to take a look at the content."

"What are you looking at?" Attracted by our conversation, Akinmaru gave up the sugar cake she was nibbling on, "Hmm......" she hovered behind Patsy's head and read a few lines with her, and then sighed and gave up reading, "It's obviously a kana and kanji, why can't you understand it when you put it together?" I'm not a fool who doesn't know how to learn. ”

"Don't force it, read the comics." I told her, and then sensed that Shanghai was returning with Penglai, so I sent Shanghai to accompany the villain to read comics.

"Well, great idea!" Akinmyomaru spread out the comics, and then immediately accepted a little friend of the same size after I asked Shanghai to lie next to her, "It's so cute! ”

"Let's play together."

"Hey, hey, come on, Shanghai-chan." She pulls the doll up the comic page and happily starts reading.

Seeing that the adults and the puppets were all reading, I decided to take a look around the playground and stop by to see if the Lori Ghost King needed help.

"Alice just watched, I can solve it all!" Cui Xiang said, directing a group of small doppelgangers flying in the air to pull the sheets apart and flatten them, and then let the bamboo pole shine on the horizontal line and let go, and the white sheets were smoothly put on the shelves.

The little ones who were about the same size as Akinmimaru and Shanghai took Huiyin's place of labor, and made ordinary housework more efficient, "You really don't need help, you can do it all by yourself," I pointed to the villager lady who was busy in the other corner of the playground, presumably a helper hired by the temple house, "There is nothing to do." ”

"Although I am very capable," said Suika with a grin, "I can't let Aunt Yuzu, who works to support herself and her children, lose their jobs." ”

"Is this the only reason why society is stagnant when there are more capable people but have to leave behind an inefficient workforce?"

"Alice, what are you talking about," she said, turning to get back to work, "this is a temple house, and you don't need any efficient labor in the first place, and besides, your words are too ruthless!" The greatness of labor lies not in efficiency, but in attitude! ”

"Kidding," I said, waving my hand, "you're much more humane than the guys who opened the factory a hundred years ago." ”

"Because I'm the great Ghost King!"
