[[[CP|W:195|H:293|A:L]]] (Ritsu Tsukasa)

"Anyway, is it okay to stay in Beo?" As he walked, Mayu asked the oranges around him like a tourist.

Orange's face was relaxed, without the slightest sense of tension. Although it is indeed a joy to return to your hometown, but considering the purpose of this trip, it is really okay to imply magic without the slightest blessing? I didn't see everyone around her, and they all looked at her with curiosity from time to time.

"No problem, just bring him food when you go back. Didn't you already ask before you went out? ”

The two of them were walking down the streets of Misaki Town. The middle street is sandwiched between Japanese-style houses and Western-style buildings, and on both sides it is lined with buildings that can be found everywhere in the country. The duo's destination is the newly built Misaki Station, which is home to the most prosperous shopping street in Misaki Town. Four years ago, the old station, which was in the shape of a rigid box, has been replaced by a high-rise building with a glass curtain wall, and a large shopping mall inside.

The renovation of the magic workshop is not in a hurry, and Orange seems to have a good patience for it, and besides, the thirty or so dolls scattered around Misaki Town or the demon will take a while to gather information - although Mawa doesn't think it's really necessary. The two of them came out this time to replenish supplies, no matter what, they are long-abandoned school buildings, and they need to come down to buy everything by themselves, and what is even more troublesome is that there is no store nearby, which is very inconvenient.

Unfinished strongholds must be guarded by one person to prevent snooping by intruders. Since Beo doesn't like to stay with Maha, there was a previous conversation.

"It's rude to say that, but why do I always think of watchdogs when I mention Beo who stayed behind......"

Orange's eyes widened, as if he was short-circuited by Maha's words, and covered his forehead: "Although he was defeated by you, he is a fantasy ......"

"It's all involuntary......" Mayu turned his head.

"Forget it, he's not here anyway." Orange quickly gave up on the issue, she had never thought about the problem of demon rights, she didn't take this seriously, well, Beo might be a little special. "We're here!"

The pachinko parlor that appeared in front of me was of course just a signboard, and maybe there were gambling machines or something in a more hidden place, which was really normal.

"Pinballs? What are you doing here? Mayu looked puzzled.

Orange proudly tooped his glasses: "Although only this boring game has good luck, no matter what, it's still no problem to earn back Beo's ration money with this!" ”

"......" Mayu thought that Beo would probably cry when he heard Orange's speech, remembering that the dinner that Beo asked for was just a hamburger, and a fantasy seed actually liked to eat this, it was really easy to feed.

I easily exchanged 5,000 yen of game coins, and then went to the second floor, found the machine with the highest explosion rate today, and played.

"I haven't played in four years, but I'm just trying my luck!" Orange's tone was full of joy, and even the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Looking at the orange that took off the glasses and still has such a side, Mayu also watched with interest from the sidelines. During this time period, there are not many players in the store, and it is not during peak hours.

"Whoa!!"

Another small explosion, under the skillful control of Orange, the pinball table once again helplessly spit out the glass balls. Although it is only a popular game in Japan, looking at the appearance of oranges, it seems that she has been a veteran in this area before. It's unbelievable that the quiet and intellectual orange would come to this place to play marbles.

"Well, Zhenyu, why don't you try?" Taking advantage of the gap, the orange greeted Maha.

"Uh, no." Maha's interest in games is not high.

"Really? It's a shame. Orange's tone was filled with regret, as if you were missing out on something good.

Although it is in the name of collecting and raising funds for war preparedness, it seems that Orange seems to be enjoying it. Holding a rocker in one hand and a cheap cigarette in the other, although it wasn't lit because Mawa was in front of him, his legs were crossed on top of each other, and he was in a very tempting posture.

"Huh?" Both of them noticed that someone was watching them, and Mahaha looked up, and Orange put her glasses back on.

Following the gaze, it was a pale clerk, who looked like a high school student, who should have come to work at the store, but the sharp-eyed two still noticed that he had a strange strap wrapped around his neck. I don't know what Lu Dao is about, the clerk stiffened after seeing the two of them, and then ran away in a panic, or ran away.

"Huh? True Feather, did you use the magic trick to drive away idlers or the magic trick to imply it? Orange, who felt inexplicable, asked.

"No? Who would be bored enough to use magic on a clerk they just met? Zhen Yu spread his hands innocently: "He shouldn't have been scared away by you, right?" When you're not wearing glasses, you're really sharp and sharp. ”

"Kouhu!" After putting on her glasses, she cut back to her original gentle personality and denied it. Although she is troubled by being noticed and accosted, she will naturally feel angry when she scares people away after seeing it like this, "Why are you not you?" ”

"Didn't you see that I used magic tricks to reduce my presence from the beginning? His attention is definitely on you. ”

"Woo......" Orange frowned: "The next time we meet, we must scare him well." ”

For the two, this is just an episode, so naturally they will not pay attention to it, and Orange continues her journey of preparing funds. When Orange was satisfied with the money exchanged for the prize he had harvested, he walked out of the pachinko shop and said a word to Mayu beside him.

"Huh? Do you want to go out on your own? See an old friend? Zhenyu nodded understandingly: "Then go ahead, I'll be responsible for the procurement." ”

"Then please!" Orange waved his hand and walked in the other direction.

There is nothing that Maha, who acts alone, is not used to, and he has come over a lot in Misaki Town. Looking at the road signs, Mawa walked towards the shopping mall at the station - a large mall where you can buy everything at once is king!

With a shopping list in hand, Mawa pushes the shopping cart around the mall, stopping occasionally to remove items from the shopping shelves.

"Sorry to disturb ......," a voice sounded behind Maha.

With a little curiosity, Zhenyu turned around, and the magic effect on his body should still be there.

"Excuse me, can you help me get that box of tea?" Although it was a requesting tone, it was very cheerful, and people unconsciously thought that the owner of this voice must be an optimist.

The one who spoke was a mature woman, with long light purple hair, a beautiful face, a smile that was easy to pull into human relationships, and a loose red sweater that hid her fiery figure. From her body, Maha-chan could feel a faint wave of magic - she was a magician.

"No problem!" Without revealing the identity of the other party, Zhenyu nodded with a smile, reached out and took down the tea leaves on the shelf, and handed them to the other party. The goods in this position are indeed a little difficult for her, who is only about 1.55 meters.

"Ah, thank you very much! By the way, my name is Ritsu Tsukase, what's your name? As a thank you, may I invite you to tea? "Very self-explanatory.

Ryu Shuse? It seems that the person who was dispatched by the Magic Association in Misaki-cho that Orange said is also called this name, right?
