Ji Ran looked at the plates piled up on the table, secretly pinched his money bag, and sighed secretly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

She can receive a monthly salary of eighteen gold coins from the Heavenly Punishment Mercenary Group every month, and a subsidy of one gold coin from the Enchantment Alliance, which together is nineteen gold coins. In this world, the food and clothing of a family of three is only four or five gold coins a month, and if you live a single life as long as you are not luxurious, three gold coins are enough, so her nineteen gold coins per month is already a huge amount of money.

Ji Ran's monthly expenses are mainly in food and medicinal materials, she is delicious, sometimes nineteen gold coins are not enough to spend, and often goes to eat and drink with Yeyi as soon as she enters the second half of the year.

However, no matter how tight the days were, Ji Ran never took a copper plate from the official account of the Heavenly Punishment Mercenary Group, let alone thought of selling the jewelry that Yeyi gave her for money.

"That ......" Ji Ran hesitated for a moment, thinking of Alfred's character, and finally decided to say the truth: "Xiao Ai, I am running out of money in my pocket." ”

"Huh? Oh, okay, eat two more, let's leave. Alfred still eats very well, probably because he eats people with a soft mouth, and the dragon chose to acquiesce to the fact that Ji Ran called his great Lord Alfred Xiao Ai.

Ji Ran twitched the corners of his mouth, still eat, and if you eat again, I will leave you to wash the dishes!

But......

Ji Ran leaned on the table with one hand on his chin, and his big black and translucent eyes looked at Alfred without any impurities. The man sat cross-legged in a chair like a child, his hands clutching a sauce skeleton and gnawing on it, his eyebrows dancing. The morning sun sprinkled on him, like a layer of dazzling light, so that Ji Ran couldn't help but close his eyes slightly.

She sighed invisibly: "It's so true, I can't bear to hurt you." ”

"Huh? What did you say? Alfred's head was still buried in the sauce skeleton, but he just glanced up at Ji Ran.

"It's nothing, I said I'll pack a few more for you to take back and eat." Ji Ran casually told a little lie without blinking his eyes.

Alfred suddenly smiled again.

"Hey, Xiao Ai, give you a piece of advice, don't trust women too much, the more beautiful a woman is, the more you can't believe it."

"Clams?" Alfred apparently didn't pay attention.

Ji Ran's delicate eyebrows were raised: "Don't say good things twice, forget if you don't hear it!" ”

I'm not Yin Susu, and you're not Zhang Wuji, if you don't use you, you're already kind, and I'll remind you that this is beyond my bottom line as a villain. Also clams? What a clam!

"Uncle, check out!"

"Eh, a total of two silver coins and thirty-four copper." The cafeteria uncle is also very happy, it is time for class, and there are people who skip class to take care of his business.

Ji Ran had a pain in her flesh, this guy ate her three days' meal money for breakfast, "Help pack four more for my friend to take away." ”

"Well, eat so much today, we'll come back tomorrow!" Alfred smiled brightly.

Ji Ran almost didn't choke to death by her own saliva, could it be that she was also deceived by this dragon.

"Hey, big brother, I've done my best to invite you to a meal, don't you really want me to support you for the rest of your life?"

Alfred blushed in annoyance: "Who wants you to raise it, I have my own money!" ”

"You have money? Well, take it out and take a look! ”

Alfred pulled out a handful of ...... He was reluctant to use copper coins, shiny gold coins and silver coins, and the dragon had no problem not eating for a long time, so he only carried ugly copper coins with him.

Ji Ran glanced at the copper coins that were so old that they could almost be called antiques, and pouted: "Heh, it's really a lot, such a large sum may be enough for you to buy a sauce skeleton." ”

Hearing this, Alfred clenched the copper coin in his hand, turning it into a copper bump, his eyes full of anger and grievance.

Ji Ran was made to twitch by that animal-like look, this guy looks like a dragon there? It is more believed that he is a puppy that is about to be abandoned.

But......

Ji Ran was ruthless, no longer bothered with Alfred, and walked straight to the gate.

"Can you give me those treasures of yours?" A certain dragon bar, a little weak voice came from behind Ji Ran.

Ji Ran stumbled suddenly, and only then did he have all the pity for this beast, and turned his head and roared angrily: "Please think about it with your brain, why should I give you those things?" If you were ten years younger, I could say you were naïve, but now I can only regret that you are mentally retarded. ”

After saying that, he didn't look back, these dragons are all greedy guys, they are too annoying.

Alfred was stunned for two or three seconds, then twisted his face and threw the copper bump in his hand to the ground, "Why don't you let me see it, you dead thief!" Bad woman! ”

The cafeteria uncle was watching from the side in a cold sweat, and after the cool man quieted down, he timidly walked over, held up the oiled paper bag and said, "Sir, your bones." ”

", you're just carrying your bones in this paper bag!" Alfred raised his hand as if he wanted to punch him, causing the cafeteria uncle's neck to shrink in fright.

But he tightened his jaw, and instead of swinging the punch, he turned his fist and strode out to grab a handful of oiled paper bags.

Alfred walked out of the cafeteria not far away, stood firmly in front of the blonde mage, and handed the oiled paper bag angrily: "Here you go!" ”

The blonde mage glanced at him, "Give it all to me?" ”

Alfred hurriedly shrank back again: "If you think of beauty, I'll let you eat one, and the other three are mine." ”

The blonde mage smiled: "Thank you, I won't eat." ”

"Hmph, it's not that I don't give it, it's that you don't want it!" Alfred walked on his long legs with the oiled paper bag in his arms.

The blonde mage followed him with the corners of his lips slightly upturned, and after walking for a few minutes, he suddenly spoke, "Actually, that girl is kinder than I thought. ”

"Nonsense!" Alfred's eyes widened, "She's a stinky thief, a bad woman." Hum! But for the sake of him inviting Ben-sama to eat, Ben-sama forgave her for stealing my things last time. ”

The blonde mage shook his head and did not speak.

Half an hour later, Alfred, who had finished gnawing on the sauce skeleton, rolled on the big bed in the hostel: "Shining jewel...... I want it...... I want to ...... My Gem !! ”

Seven days later-

"(Crying) Vomit, no, it's not true! All is useless! It doesn't work at all! I can't believe all this, not anymore, nothing can be believed anymore! ”

"Nonsense! Child, if you lost all faith, then I wouldn't be here. And here I am. Come on, wipe away your tears, my dear, you can't go to the royal ball. ”

"Prom? But I can't go ... ”

"Of course you want to go! But we have to hurry, because even miracles take time. ”

……

"It's so beautiful! Have you ever seen such a beautiful dance dress?! And look! It's a crystal slipper! It's like a dream! A dream has become a reality! ”

"Yes, my child, but like all dreams wake up, magic only lasts for a while, until midnight."

"Midnight? Thank you! ”

"No, no, child, you must understand, my dear, that after the clock strikes 12 o'clock, the magic will disappear and everything will be back to the way it was."

"Cards!" Ji Ran jumped off the table: "Beatrice, I ask you, you are now in the beautiful moment of turning from an ugly duckling to a white swan, is it okay for you to be surprised, it's not just a simple smile, I want a surprise!" Surprise! do-you-understand？ ”

Beatrice looked at Ji Ran blankly: "I understood the previous one, but I didn't understand the last sentence." ”

Ji Ran shook his hand: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand that sentence, it's bird language anyway." ”

Because Andrew reported that Ji Ran was very good at telling stories, and Ji Ran herself joined the drama club of Wangdu Academy, everyone wanted to give her the responsibility of preparing the show and let her make a short story.

Ji Ran said in his heart, it's not easy to fool these hillbillies who don't even know what fairy tales are, just throw out a script of "Cinderella" and let them rehearse. And in order to avoid letting everyone have any bad emotions, except for those who have indicated that they don't want to go on stage, everyone else has a role, but it's just ...... Most of them are passers-by A, B, C, and D who only show their faces at the prince's ball.

But when she actually rehearsed, she realized that it was not so simple.

These people are obviously good at what they say, but they always sing as they speak, troubadour-like singing, and their hair stands on end.

finally changed their singing habit, and their expressions were not in place.

One word, annoying!

"Alright, let's practice here today. Beatrice, give you a task, send a beautiful set of clothes to the little girls in the slums, and then observe the expressions on the faces of those girls when they receive the clothes, and if you look closely, you will know what a surprise is. Ji Ran can only think of this method for the time being. After all, if you can enter the two most expensive departments of the pharmacy department and the enchantment department, the family is either a nobleman or a wealthy businessman, where will they be excited by some beautiful clothes, since they can't get excited themselves, let's learn how others are excited.

After packing up his things, Ji Ran walked out of the academy alone and came to the street. To say that the attitude of her classmates towards her has changed a lot recently, from the previous contempt to the current disdain, she has risen more than one level!

But Ji Ran was depressed, no one despised her, and she didn't feel abandoned by God at all...

The main thing is that no one offends her anymore, how can she play with others!! Even Belinda seemed to know Alfred's identity, and when she realized that she was scolding a dragon, she hid at home for seven days and pretended to be sick, hey......

In addition, the Heavenly Punishment Mercenary Regiment has recently recruited new members, Archie is training with those people, Xavier is in charge of the overall situation, Yeyi doesn't know what news to hear, and the white-haired headmaster and Prince Lancelot are busy preparing to receive foreign guests who come from the Spring Festival......

Look at what has become of boredom these days!!
