Chapter 12: A New Journey
As the morning sun shone through the glass window, Rein woke up in a warm laziness.
He opened his eyes and saw the sun shining on the potted plants hanging on the railing next to the windowsill, and the leaves of unknown plants glowing green. The glass windows are penetrated by sunlight, and the lattice rails on the windows outline a clear outline in the slightly swaying sunlight.
He forgot when he had fallen asleep again last night, only that he had slept peacefully in the second half of the night, and he hadn't even dreamed again.
Rein got out of bed, walked to the window, raised his hand and stretched out a long stretch, as if he had been reborn in the pale yellow sun.
In the corridor of the house opposite, there was an old woman sweeping the floor with a broom, she was wearing a pair of reading glasses, and she happened to look over, and when she saw Rein raise her hand, she thought she was greeting her, she smiled, showed her toothless mouth, and waved her hand in response.
Rein put away his hand in embarrassment, smiled embarrassedly, and quickly retreated from the window to the room.
"You have to wash up......
Rein put on the clothes he had gone shopping with Levi and Levi last night, opened the door and walked out.
As soon as he opened the door, there was a person outside the door, and Rein was startled.
"Good morning, guest."
A crisp female voice said.
Rein saw that what appeared in front of him was a waiter dressed as a maid, not Zhuona, who had entertained her last night, but Phil or Meilan, who had come to the morning shift.
"Morning ...... Morning. Rein hurriedly responded.
The maid in front of her is about one meter six tall, and the black and white maid outfit is very commensurate with her body shape, with a white lace headband on her head and a lace white apron on her body, which makes the background color of the black maid outfit smart and cute. Her long silver hair was draped behind her, the sea in front of her forehead was staggered, and the two strands of long hair on her cheeks were tied up with a headband, which perfectly set off her white and red face. She has a pleasant face at first sight, with just the right amount of shyness when she smiles, polite, and gives people a jasper-like quiet temperament.
She must be the maid who made him feel excited last night Banji, Milan Hua Meilan, she does have a unique temperament that makes boys' hearts flutter.
"Are you...... Meilan, right? I heard Banji mention you last night. Somehow he had spoken to her, and he would never have had the courage to talk to a girl for the first time.
Meilan's eyes lit up, and she smiled slightly: "Yes, you must be Lei Yin, she also talked about you when she changed shifts with Zhuona." By the way, Susan's mother said that if you get up, I'll call you downstairs for breakfast. β
"Oh, oh, okay, thanks."
"No, it won't." After Meilan finished speaking, she took the basket in her hand and turned to leave.
It occurred to him that he didn't know where the washing place was, and he wasn't sure if it was the same place where he had taken a shower last night. He wanted to stop Meilan, looking at her light shadow, but he was embarrassed to speak.
Meilan suddenly thought of something, stopped, turned around and asked, "Do you want to wash?" Do you want me to take you there? β
Meilan didn't smile deliberately, but gave people a smile full of smiles, Rein felt like a saint, her body was glowing, she actually knew what he was thinking!
Rein hurriedly said, "Oh, yes, can I trouble you to lead the way?" β
"Yes, I'm just dropping by, come with me."
Meilan took Rein and walked to the other end of the corridor.
The washing place is a place like a back garden, full of plants and flowers, although the place is not big, but each place is simply and warmly arranged.
Rhine met other travelers, and each one was polite, as if friendliness was a trait that the inn gave to people in silence.
After a while, after washing up and drying his hands with a towel, Rein felt a little as if he had come to a place where he could stay in peace. At this time, a male waiter appeared, he was wearing the same men's uniform as Benji had worn yesterday, not as good as the maid of the waitress, but also simple and decent. He is about 1.65 meters tall, with simple short hair, a square face, and looks honest and honest, he should be the "errand jack" in Benji's mouth.
"Oh, here you are, Mother Susan told you to go to breakfast. After a while, there will be more guests, and if you don't eat, you will have to put it away. By the way, my name is Jack. Jack said.
"Oh there, that's my name Rein. I'll go. β
Rein came to the breakfast table, which was a table by the window, just where the morning sun could shine through the window, perfect for breakfast.
Sitting down at the table with visible wood textures and quaint patterns, looking at the tableware and vases glowing with warm colors in the natural light, and smelling the faint aroma of the fresh flowers in the vase, Rein knew that Aunt Susan must be a proprietress who pays attention to the quality of life. Although all this is not noble, it is simple and simple, but it can be seen that it is very attentive, like a drizzle of moisturizing things, and she projects her yearning for beautiful things into everything in the inn, making the inn as its name "Warm Fireplace", make people feel warm and safe in their hearts.
Rein picked up his knife and fork and ate bread and fried eggs.
A cat fell asleep in a chair beside it, its fur warm and soft in the slanting sunlight.
When Rein finished eating the food on his plate and took the milk cup to drink the hot milk from the cup, a person came to the table and sat down across the table, it was Aunt Susan.
"Tastes okay, right?" Aunt Susan asked with a smile.
"Ah, Mother Susan, it's okay. Oh no, it tastes good. Somehow Rein was a little nervous.
Aunt Susan is tall and has a generous face, giving people a very inclusive feeling.
Aunt Susan smiled and said, "Levi said that you just came out of your hometown to take an adventure, so where are you going to venture today?" β
"Adventure ......" Rein couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he remembered his fabricated origin yesterday. After a series of events yesterday, he didn't plan to run outside again without preparation, he needed a place to stay, and then slowly find his way home.
Jack, dressed in a waiter's suit, walked past with a plate in one hand. Not far away, Meilan, who was wearing a maid outfit, was sweeping the floor with a broom. Seeing how they felt as one with the inn, Rein suddenly had a bold idea.
Rein looked at Aunt Susan, adjusted his breath, and said, "Mother Susan, I don't plan to go out on an adventure, I want to stay in Viren City temporarily, can you take me in?" I can work for you, I can do anything. β
Aunt Susan listened to Rein's words, and unexpectedly did not show a surprised expression, but showed a strange look. She looked at Rein and said, "Oh? So how long do you want to stay here? β
Rein now knew too little about Midorio Arashi and needed to gather as much information as possible to move freely, he thought for a moment and said, "At least three months, maybe longer." β
"What else do you want to do besides work?"
"What else do you want to do?" Rein was a little asked, he couldn't say, I want to find a way to another world, but I can put it another way, in line with the perception of this world, that is: "I ...... I also want to learn magic. β
Aunt Susan smiled and said, "I heard Levi say last night that you want to learn magic. I'm just going to make sure you're still convinced. β
She paused, and then continued, "Maybe it's too late to start studying at your age, but if you have the heart, you won't be afraid of being late." If you want to work here and learn magic at the same time, then you need to listen to me. β
"Good! I'm willing to do anything to learn magic! Lei Yin didn't expect this to be the case, so he quickly sat up straight and listened carefully.
Aunt Susan nodded and said, "I can provide you with room and board, and it just so happens that we are short of a male waiter, you can make up for it." You help out in the shop during the day for 30 copper coins per month. In the evening I will give you a magic book and explain how to learn magic. But you have to promise me that as long as you're here for a day, you can't absolutely, absolutely not give up learning magic, can you do it? β
"Yes!" Rein replied firmly. He had a question, that is, Aunt Susan didn't look like a magician in the traditional sense, she really could do magic? However, he didn't dare to bring it up at this time, after all, this was a world he didn't understand, and maybe almost everyone here knew a little bit of magic.
He also had a question, that is, why did Aunt Susan insist on learning magic? This question is normal and suitable for asking at this time, so he asked.
"Why do you insist on learning magic?" Aunt Susan's gaze fell on the sleeping kitten in the chair, and she said softly, "This must be my own selfishnessβI want someone to be with Emily, not a playmate who usually plays, but a companion who insists on learning magic." β
Aunt Susan stretched out her hand, gently stroked the soft fluff on the kitten's back, and said, "Emily, this child has always wanted to be a real witch, but she has never been able to summon her own demons. She's thirteen years old, she's always insisted on not giving up, and I don't know how I can help her, so I hope to give her more encouragement. If you really want to learn magic, I hope you don't give up, I want you to be an example of pursuing magic just as hard, can you do me a favor? β
Rein didn't expect Aunt Susan to be the one who loved her daughter so much, and indeed, if she was a person who was already sixteen years old and had missed the opportunity to learn magic, she would have been tirelessly pursuing magic, it would be a great encouragement to Emily. He nodded firmly and said, "I promise you, I will never give up learning magic." β
Aunt Susan looked at Rein's sparkling eyes, a little excited, and said, "Good, good." Then you can ask Jack to take you to change your clothes, and Jack will teach you how to do it. β
"Good! Thank you, Susan Mom. Rein stood up and bowed sincerely to Aunt Susan.
Aunt Susan also stood up, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Come on, your eyes are very bright, and I am sure you will do well." β
Then Aunt Susan called Jack over and handed him over to Rhine.
In this way, Rein became an intern waiter of the "Warm Fireplace" and settled in the strange magical world of Green Weilan, and from this day on, Rein embarked on his magical learning journey.
