In the middle of the night, two women are facing off in an unknown park.

The moon was only near the horizon at the time of departure, but now it is high in the night sky.

Seiichi had moved to a place suitable for her to fight, where Weiyang's mana band was disrupted, and her circuit was suppressed at one-tenth of her usual level, which meant that Weiyang couldn't save her life.

In the distance, an automaton had just exploded after being elbowed by Weiyang, and a steady stream of puppets were still walking behind Seiichi.

As long as there is enough time, the victory is your own. But what is the purpose of this victory?

If he wants to excel for his own happiness, his brother has already declared his choice.

Weiyang barely kicked the tenth puppet away with his knees, but it was too late.

Seiichi couldn't help but wave his wrist, as if pressing the lever in the void, and the puppet behind him sped up.

"Sister Weiyang, you seem to be enjoying it, I'm looking forward to how much fun you can bring me!"

Seiichi's expression was a little pleasant, because she still wanted to appreciate the battle for a while.

"It seems that you are more insidious and cunning than you think."

Looking at the hundreds of tide-like enemies in front of him, Weiyang said indifferently, and secretly scolded Xia Han.

"Sister Weiyang." There was a hint of anger in Qingyi's words.

"What's wrong?" Weiyang replied as he turned his head as he fought.

"That magician surnamed Guan, you revealed my existence to him!"

"So what?" Weiyang immediately put away the smile on his face.

Seiichi lowered his head with a defeated expression.

"I knew you were going to kill me...... Really, it helped you a lot. ”

Weiyang quickly dismembered the puppet with an elbow strike as he fought, and did not answer.

"It's terrible, I'd better kill you." Seiichi came to a painful conclusion.

Weiyang sighed, and the expression on his face seemed to be "busy again".

"Then again, Qingyi, how long will it take for me to cooperate with this script before I am satisfied?"

Weiyang asked in a cold tone, as if he didn't want to get a joking or perfunctory answer.

According to the arrangement of the lines, this place is almost over, and judging from Qingyi's very melancholy expression, she is clearly ready to play for real.

"Because there's someone on that ship who has to be killed." Clear answer.

Boat?!

Hearing this, Weiyang released the enchantment program, and the puppet and the wreckage disappeared without a trace, leaving only the two of them standing under the street lamp on the park path.

"The problem is your squad leader, and I wanted to hide why she had to let me go."

"That's why you want to get on board?" Isn't this the middle class leader's hand?

"To kill a specific person, of course, to use a massacre as a cover, it's that simple."

As soon as he heard this, Weiyang showed a look of surprise, thinking of the innocent passengers on the ship, Qingyi was unashamed!

"Already dead?"

"Probably, as long as I don't get on the boat, the others will definitely die."

The specific person Seiichi said was actually herself.

"Who the hell is Liang Zi's boyfriend?!"

"No, there's a woman behind her, named Astarya."

“…… How do you know? ”

“…… Because the last time your squad leader came to my house, she asked me for help in private without telling my brother that she was being threatened, and asked me if I had found any bracelets or ring bookmarks. ”

Qingyi suddenly understood something at that time, so he led Liang Zi around, Liang Zi didn't find anything, so he had to play the piano and leave, but still asked Qingyi to get on the boat.

Because the master was not there, Xia Han and Weiyang were also busy, and Qingyi agreed to Liang Zi and tried to negotiate with Astarya alone after trying to get on the boat.

"Who the hell is she?"

"Well...... "Kiyoichi sat down on the bench next to him, "...... Kind of someone like me......"

Then, Weiyang patted the dust off his tracksuit and sat side by side with Kiyoichi, who began to tell the legend about Astaria. Weiyang listened silently.

"It is said that the golden bracelet that can travel through time and space has been wandered to another world, and has been in the ancient elves for a long time, and has not been found since."

But according to rumors in the wizarding world in the past six months, the bracelet was melted into a bookmark after being obtained by another witch.

To be precise, after coming back, Qingyi always felt that what Guan Hongbo wanted was not her pen, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally decided to break into the master's room, and her eyes were locked on the bookmark.

After Astaria was exiled to the world, due to the loss of the bracelet and the thinning of mana density, she gradually lost the ability to travel through time and space, so she had to hide and lie dormant for thousands of years, until the moment when the master, who had just returned from a trip to another world, put the bookmark on the table.

The problem is that although the bookmark exudes magic in the void, Xia Jiayang has a lot of aura to hide it, and Astarya can only conclude that the witch is Qingyi based on the rumors heard by Guan Hongbo and the escape methods of several people in the Huangshan case, so Guan Hongbo set up an ambush to assassinate Qingyi, and coerced Liang Zi to set up a bureau to let Qingyi get on the ship.

It's a pity that they were all cracked by Xia Han's fist and tonight's no-show.

As for the words on the bookmark, the front reads "When the sunset dyes the sea red, I think of you." On the back is [No matter how far away you are, I remember you.] 】

But this is the master himself carved it.

Weiyang sighed and put her hand on her cheek weakly, because she had been guessing wrong all this time.

"But the problem is that my brother won't let me get on the boat, so good." Qingyi pursed his lips to express his dissatisfaction, "Your squad leader can't save it." ”

"Not really." Xia Han suddenly appeared from a distance, "I'll leave it to Master." ”

"So you've been ...... a long time ago," the two girls looked at Xia Han in surprise.

"Actually, when I saw the bookmark, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't confirm the relevance to Master," Xia Han smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't think of asking by the way until the Peng family's problem was about to be reported, and it turned out to be true." ”

I also thought of a lot of ways to deal with the cruise ship problem in advance, and I always felt that the two witches fighting each other on the cruise ship would cause the end of the world, so I still found a way to ask Weiyang for help.

But the master said that he would come back before the holiday, so he simply bought her a ferry ticket, and as for Liang Zi, he couldn't have a showdown there, so she had to misunderstand.

In short, let Master figure it out for himself.

Listening to Xia Han's explanation, the two girls had no choice but to nod their heads one after another with their mouths open, but their eyes became more and more fierce.

You bastard knows so much, why didn't you say it sooner?!

"Oh yes," Xia Han added with a sudden twinkle in his eyes, "Do you know why I didn't go to see you the other day?" ”

"Playing ball?" Weiyang didn't stop Qingyi, but asked Xia Han.

"I've been a programmer for a while now." Very seriously proud.

In short, it's still "a very low grade." Weiyang glanced at him.

"I'm going to be a magician soon, okay?" Xia Han couldn't help but protest.

The program of the law source was finally recalled, to be honest, it didn't feel good to be strained by a cold law source, but once the cannonball was released, there would be a wonderful sense of emptiness, and the pain would also be paralyzed at that moment, and after being released once, he couldn't stand up at all.

Fortunately, his flow speed was very fast, and as the new Fa source filled in, his consciousness could quickly regain his consciousness.

"Is it named?" Weiyang asked.

"I forgot what the senior said at that time......

"For a quick chant, it's better to name it."

What's the best name? It stands to reason that it's a frost cannonball.

"Otherwise, it's called [flocculating]." Xia Han said.

"Well...... Brother is so boring, you can decide it yourself. ”

"Yes."

On the cruise ship on the other side, Liang Zi and his family were rescued by Ning Ran, while Astarya, dressed in black, confronted Master on deck, but both disappeared on the ship after a short time.

And in the explanation afterwards, although the master emphasized that it was indeed a gift she received from the elves, but it was really sorry to smelt it into a bookmark without authorization, but it was a pity that the magic was disordered because of the disorder caused by the random carving, and it completely lost the effect of time and space travel, and the convenience was returned to the original owner, and the strange thing was that the master was still a little reluctant when he handed over the bookmark.

As for this misunderstanding, after the Magic Association carefully agreed, Astaria was officially recognized as a dark magician, but it needed to be tried and convicted, and of course Astarya did not respond.

Who's going to play with you humans, really.

Back in the park, the air is filled with a fresh scent, and the occasional night runner can be seen under the street lamps in the distance.

Probably this matter is over, and Astarya probably won't show up. After the three of them came to this conclusion, they planned to go home separately.

But the master suddenly called and asked Qingyang Pavilion to build another cabin.

◇

The next morning, in the cyan room.

Seiichi typed down the last line of words with satisfaction. Thoughts slowly return to reality.

"Well...... In this way, there are four residents of the Seiyangkan. ”

"Anyway, they're not normal people," Xia Han brought a tray, "Try the tomato soup I cooked myself." ”

"Did you put sugar this time?" Tapping on the keyboard without looking back.

"Nope."

Seiichi didn't answer, but stared at the screen, she didn't mind being silent for a long time.

But Xia Han minded, "It's over?" ”

"Although I didn't have your consent," Qing nodded and scooped a spoonful of soup, "but I chose the lily ending this time." ”

Although this ending is very strange, Xia Han is still relieved, at least you two don't have to fight.

"That's Astarya and Sister Weiyang together."

"Rewrite me!"

"I lied to you." Seiichi immediately smiled, but suddenly fell silent.

This is a deliberate silence, a silence that makes Xia Han think about something. But no matter how Xia Han thought about it, he couldn't figure out what the ending was.

Seiichi suddenly said, "By the way, I have something I want to ask you. Did we really elope? Last time, my brother said it was very realistic, and there was a lot of blood, and I almost suspected that it was not an elopement, so I wondered if it really happened. ”

Xia Han coughed lightly. "There's no need to confirm this kind of thing."

"It's okay." Qingyi smiled faintly, "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it." I'm just curious. For writers, the distinction between memories and words is no longer important. Also, are you going out to work on a case today? ”

"Well, the case of Guanghualou."

"I'm a little nervous, Astarya said she's coming tonight...... Well, the witch sees the witch," Kiyoichi patted his heart, "Do you think I should dress neatly, or buy some greeting gifts or something?" It's the feeling of seeing each other late, and whether she'll kill me. ”

"What are you afraid of with Master, so what is the ending?" Xia Han asked.

Seiichi was silent again. Brother's question always seems to confirm something, but Seiichi's mind has long been sunk in the void of the finished book, like a meteor streaked across the night sky.

"Well, I'll see it myself." Xia Han reluctantly turned on his phone and turned to leave.

"The important thing is the new book, brother, the creativity is still clueless." Seiichi showed a hint of loss at his back.

"I'll just have one opinion."

"You say you say it!"

"The title of the book is lighter, the previous one was too restrained."

"No problem!"

"Don't have a relationship with reality, write something empty."

"Uh-huh!"

"The name of the chapter is the same, free and easy."

“…… Didn't you say a little? ”

"Then I'm leaving." After Xia Han finished speaking, he nodded without saying a word, didn't say goodbye, didn't say that he would come back, just closed the door.

Maybe he chose not to speak because of some kind of guilt for Qingyi, just as Qingyi's complaining was out of the same considerations, but unfortunately in most cases language does not work.

"That's right, Seiichi." He opened the door suddenly.

"Huh?"

"What's that...... Astalia, talk to her. ”
