Following. Inside the Goth's Mage Tower.

The girl woke up.

A dreamless night's sleep didn't stop her boredom. Originally, she wanted to have a good stroll around the Black Floating City, but Goth strongly recommended that the girl continue to rest in bed for a whole day, forbid to eat and take alchemical drugs with calming, energy replenishment, and physical recovery effects - "A normal person would have died a long time ago if he was pierced in the abdomen," Goth said solemnly, "Even if you have the blessing of the power of the secret ritual, it is best not to run around." ”

So, the girl stayed in the room of the Gothic Mage Tower to rest. Goth's mage tower was large but empty, and in fact, the girl didn't see any attendants here except Goth himself, not even constructs like golems or low-intelligence elemental creatures.

When she got up, Xiao Wei in the girl's inner world said, "He probably lives alone. 】

"But I don't think he's alone," the girl calmly pointed out, "He may just be trying to make a little personal space." 】

Of course, the girl thought to herself, that as the protagonist of a fantasy novel, Goth could not be alone—even if he had a large group of friends, wouldn't he be allowed to be alone in his own home?

[By the way, Xiaowei, change hands......] The girl suddenly remembered something.

Xiaowei originally wanted to make an agreement with the girl, and the two took turns to be responsible for the morning and evening grooming chores. And the girl, of course, she deserves to put all this work on Xiaowei's head. It's a bit difficult for a girl to tinker with that beautiful long blonde hair every day...... If Xiaowei didn't exist, the girl would definitely cut her hair short immediately.

[The clothes I bought before were rotten during the battle.] Xiaowei said regretfully.

[At least the boots can still be used,] the girl replied, except for the stabbed blouse, the skirt and stockings were also stained with blood, beyond the limits of their "self-cleaning" enchantment, [Huh, do you care that much? 】

"At home, I can only wear mage robes most of the time," Xiaowei said, "Although my mother prepared some clothes for me, I rarely had the opportunity to wear them. 】

[At least now you can do it on your own," the girl comforted, suddenly startled, "Wait, what are you doing here?" 】

Ignoring the dress that was stacked at the head of the bed—the one she had worn when she escaped Ocard—Vicky opened the closet and took out the gray mage robes inside.

[It's still a mage robe.] The girl complained, and I don't know if she complained about Xiaowei who chose to wear a mage robe after talking for a long time, or the fact that the wardrobe in this room was full of black and gray mage robes.

[This is in someone's mage tower," Xiaowei said solemnly, "I am also a mage, this is basic etiquette. 】

[I-whatever you want. The girl choked back again. She didn't really like the mage robes, they were loose but not very easy to move around.

[This room has been occupied by people in the past.] As she left the room, she said.

[That's right,] the girl nodded secretly, it seems that Xiaowei's observation is not as bad as she imagined, [The mage robes are all new, but it looks like they have been here for a while. 】

The size is also one size larger than what I am suitable, so it is so loose to wear.

[When combing my hair, I also noticed the residual hair on the comb......] Xiaowei agreed, [Long black hair. What about the woman's hair. 】

Isn't that obvious, the girl thought. Didn't you find something like a headband and a pin in the drawer?

There is another piece of evidence, but the two of them invariably chose to remain silent. The bag of necessities for women's menstrual leave in the cupboard had been taken from two packs. Probably the owner of the room left in a hurry, or thought he would come back soon, and didn't take all the daily necessities with him.

[This is the room of the senior attendant," Xiaowei guessed, "Maybe Mr. Goth once had a female attendant and now went somewhere else—hey?] 】

[Ah, I'm sorry......] The girl was still immersed in infinite gratitude for Xiaowei's existence, and couldn't help but be startled, [It's okay. If you really care about this, why don't you ask him later? It would be even better to be able to trick him into a new outfit. 】

If there was anyone in the world who knew as well as he did about Mr. Goth's private life, it would be the girl who created him. Of course, she knew who the original owner of this room was, and that was one of the heroines of the original.

[This is not good......] Xiaowei is worried.

[It's okay,] the girl said with a big grin, ""deserves to be falsely accused" is talking about people like Goth. 】

……

However, when the girl and Xiaowei smelled the fragrance coming from nearby, they invariably put the matter on hold for the time being.

[This is ......]

[You read that right. He's got a knack for that. The girl replied. She vaguely remembered that when she designed the image of the protagonist, she wrote a setting that the protagonist was good at cooking, but when she wrote it, she failed to reflect it in the plot at all.

"Are you awake?" Standing at the dining table, where the girl could no longer complain that Goth would set up a kitchen and dining room in a mage tower, as if it were not a mage tower but a private villa, the young man in black, John Goth, nodded to the girl, "Good morning, Miss Douglas, and ...... Victoria. ”

"Good morning." Little Vernene replied. Her attention was completely drawn to the unusually sumptuous meal on the table.

[Change me.] Please, don't be carried by him. The girl yelled.

[Huh? But...... Wait, okay. Xiaowei responded confusedly.

"I am indeed grateful that you have made such a sumptuous breakfast," the girl pointed to the many foods on the table, glancing at Goth out of the corner of her eye, "but with so much, we can't eat even the two of us." ”

"Ah, it's Victoria......" Goth was taken aback by the girl's sudden turn of personality, but he clearly had a big heart adapted to the situation, "The person who is chosen as a secret warrior will be more physical, and I don't know if - sorry - will eat more too, so be prepared." ”

"I'll change the question," the girl interrupted him with a "little noise" gesture, "is it your personal habit to prepare breakfast?" ”

"Sort of," the singer began, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're like, so I'll have to prepare something as different as I can." This is a fish roll, made with fish from the Great Lake of Donoz, which is rarely seen in this floating city, with personal favorite leafy vegetables; toast, as well as slices of hot omelette and ham; Several kinds of sandwiches, and if you want something special, grilled roasted asparagus and fruit porridge...... Hey, are you alright? ”

"It's nothing, maybe you should try to be a housekeeper," the girl put her hands on her cheeks, and Xiaowei was completely sluggish, "Finally, what about the parts we didn't eat?" Pour it out? ”

"Preserved by spells," said Goth without hesitation, "after compression and special handling, it can be made into a convenient food to carry around." The marching dry food used by the army and adventurers tasted particularly bad, and long-term consumption could cause nausea, not to mention the low nutritional value. It is better to carry out a special processing of leftover food on weekdays. The problem now is that the cast materials and cast difficulty of the spell in question are not suitable for the spell itself-"

"That's enough," the girl interrupted him decisively, "I see. I retract the preamble. You're still a mage through and through. ”

No matter what the girl and Vicky thought of Goth, they did have a pleasant breakfast. Xiaowei can only eat some cold things in the morning when she is busy, and even eats nothing, and Wei is the same. And Goth's craftsmanship, if not as good as the top chefs, is far superior to those ordinary servants, to the satisfaction of the two.

"Thank you for your hospitality." At the end of the sip of hot coffee, the girl burped contentedly. Xiaowei kept complaining in her inner world [You have eaten too much! 】。 Goth put away all the cutlery. The girl helped Xiaowei wipe the table under Xiaowei's repeated urging.

"Alright," Goth, glancing at the clock in the corner, returning from the kitchen, "I'm going to prepare today's spell." My casting material is a little special, so I have to reprocess it every time I go back to the Mage Tower. Miss Douglas? ”

[Huh? Xiao Wei in the world of consciousness was taken aback.

"You also need to prepare for the daily practice of spells and spell casting, right?" "My studio and experimental materials can be lent to you temporarily. How's that, are you coming? ”

[Change me, ...... quickly] Xiaowei urged.

[Huh? Good...... Feed! 】

Before the girl came to her senses, Xiaowei completed the substitution with a galloping momentum.

"Of course," Vigille said with great interest, "I have no problem. "It's been days since she's touched her beloved lab bench and spell book.

[Could it be that you are only so strong in spell research, right?] The girl complained.

[I want you to take care of it! Xiao Wei rarely replied.
