[[[CP|W:627|H:659|A:C]]] Two years have passed in a flash, and Patchouli can be regarded as slim compared to before, she is almost fourteen years old this year, and now she has fully developed to the time when she has become a real girl.

As of today, it is already a good look, and it is naturally very beautiful in this town, after all, there are no beauties here, although Russians are generally very beautiful, but in this kind of place, the old age is really too fast, the weather is cold, and the teenage girl is already rough in skin, if it is not because it is in such a family, I am afraid that Patchouli will not be too bad.

Although natural beauty is one aspect, sometimes the natural environment is also another aspect, and it is a big aspect.

But these don't have much to do with Pachualie, she usually doesn't go out much, and she doesn't know too many people in the town, but because she is well-behaved and smart, and she speaks sweetly, no one doesn't like her, of course, judging from the young people in the town, she can be said to be the most popular and hottest candidate, and there is also a popular candidate...... It's Misuzu.

Misuzu's status in this family is a subordinate from the eyes of outsiders, and Patchouli is a young lady, if you want to pursue it, there are more people who pursue Misuzu, after all, not everyone thinks they can catch up with Miss.

But compared to Patchouli, Misuzu is even more needless to say, she can even be said to be cold.

Although she is gentle and kind on the surface, she doesn't seem to be interested in everyone, whether it is men or women, and only Pache knows that she is not as simple as a servant in the family, these things are what she is willing to do, in another sense, she is also a disciple of Hakuri, but what she learns has nothing to do with magic, but martial arts.

Patchouli had seen Misuzu's martial arts once, which Misuzu had personally shown her, and the smoothness of that movement was like a beautiful dance, but the way it shattered the air and even space made Pache shiver.

However, seeing Bo Li fighting with her, Patchouli was even more surprised that her teacher still had such a clever fighting technique.

She also asked if she could learn, but Hirori just looked at her with a very strange expression at that time, and then asked her to go on a two-hour horse walk.

So Pachouli gave up directly today, she still has to read so many books every day, this kind of foundation will take at least a month or two, a few hours a day to walk activities, how can she have the mood and time.

And if you want to do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to last that long, plus Patchouli herself is not in good health, she has asthma, and strenuous exercise will cause her to feel unwell, so she also figured this out.

She still continued to read, after she was two years older, she also began to deal with the affairs of the family, Bo Li could not do everything by herself every time, so next, some things can also be entrusted to Patchouli, and Patchouli herself is very happy to be able to do something for this family, all these years of life, so that her anxious feelings have become much calmer.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, coming from outside the door, and at the same time, a middle-aged man's voice sounded: "Is anyone there...... Open the door. ”

After all, it's freezing outside, and it's always cold to knock on the door at such a time, so Patchouli doesn't care to open the door, she has always lived here, and she also knows some local people who often come here, and there is a stove downstairs at home, but even so, it is still relatively cold, and it will be very warm in the room of only a few people, but it is not a level at all compared to the cold outside.

"Here we are." She lifted her skirt and ran all the way over, then opened the door, and the people outside the door were two men dressed as guards.

Patchouli knew that the two men were tax collectors and had come from the city, and it was not the first time Patchouli had seen them, after all, the two of them also came to the town often.

Of course, it's just that it's not very popular, there is usually no benefit in this town, so the people here are naturally reluctant to pay.

Of course, Patchouli's side is honest, after all, Pori has always been very honest in paying, they need to be quiet and tranquil, that is, they need to be low-key, so Patchui never cares about small money.

Anyway, their normal income is a lot, and there must be a lot of abnormal income, so naturally there is no need to worry.

"Come in and sit down for a while, and the teacher will be back soon." Patchouli also knows these two people, she is not studying in the basement all day long, she will come up often, and she will go out to buy things by herself, she is still in the process of studying, hoping to inherit the basement from Bo Li's hands as soon as possible.

Of course, it would take a lot of strength and hard work, at least now she has no way to get recognition from Hakurei.

"Where is your teacher, we still have to be busy."

"Teacher, he went to the city this morning to change money, and it is estimated that he will be back soon, and the teacher hopes that the two of you will wait a little." Speaking of which...... This last night, I did some magic with the teacher, including the development of props, including the research and development of magic, yesterday Bo Li summoned an inexplicable summoned beast to come out, and as a result, there was a big fuss in the yard, and then Bo Li watched Pache be beaten by the other party without any power to fight back, and finally sent that thing back.

It was a giant dog with three heads, a bit like the mythical three-headed dog of hell, anyway, it was indeed very powerful, the three heads could release three different attributes of magic, and in terms of magic, I don't know how many times that of Patchouli.

How to fight, how to fight.

Sighing, Patchouli had a headache in retrospect, and she still had a little bruise, but it seemed that it was because she was weak, so Patchouli didn't really hurt her, so she was directly recalled.

"I'm going to pour you a glass of water." Patchouli just said it casually, and didn't take it seriously, and was about to go to the kitchen when someone suddenly grabbed the hem of her clothes.

She was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and was about to ask what was going on, when the man's hand slipped off the hem of her shirt and grabbed Patchouli's hand directly.

A chill came directly from her hand, her eyes widened, and she struggled to break free, and the vanished fear seemed to suddenly rise from her heart.

She turned her head and saw the two people, the eyes of the two people seemed to become a little weird, she calmed down a little, although the fear suddenly surged, but she didn't feel anything strange in her mind, there are all kinds of people in the world, so she never thinks that other people are good people for no reason, not to mention, many times it is a momentary desire to get carried away, and it has nothing to do with whether people are good or not.

"Two, is there anything wrong with the hospitality?" Calm and calm, although she is a girl, it does not mean that she can be bullied at will, not to mention, these days, she has regained her dignity as a human being, she is no longer a beggar on the street, she does not need to rely on anyone else.

"Yes...... Yes, I think it's freezing here, why don't you come and help me warm up? One of them stood up and leaned over to Patchouli, intending to reach out and touch her face as she fell to the ground.

Rude.

Her eyes widened, and she slapped the man's hand directly, but she was indeed delicate and frail, and she was directly grabbed by the wrist again.

Nausea, a feeling of disgust.

Anyway, Patchouli felt a little dizzy and headache, and her heart became more and more anxious and irritated.

"Please let me go, or I'm welcome!"
