14. The box, and the letter to the witch
Fu Li's blindfold refers to Charles in "Black Butler", in fact, the appearance can also refer to Charles, that is, it looks a little uncomfortable, but the actual style is very tough. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The words of the lock are Rajer from "Daintrian's Bookshelves".
It's very likely that it will be changed to two shifts a day, so I really don't give it to me? (Rolling and selling cute~)

14. The box, and the letter to the witch
☆ May 999 of the last day of the calendar, Western Continent ☆
The pursuers are coming.
When she realized this, the short-haired Raven Tengu girl smiled sadly.
Usually proud.,Often show off to her that she is well-maintained and not like an angel in the animation.,The wings that fly to where the feathers fall are broken in half.,The jet-black feathers are stained with dark red blood spots.。
Then, she looked at me, scarred.
"I'm sorry to involve you all this time...... made you my accomplice. ”
Gently, she stroked my long silver-gray hair with the same gentleness as ever.
I want to say something, I want to refute something, I want to tell her, I never regret saving her in the mouth of Aragami on that rainy day.
But I can't open my mouth. Because the enemies who were once colleagues were afraid of my power and tore my throat.
"That's enough to get here, get out of here, you can go to Hogwarts House of your dreams...... No, it's still too dangerous there, the Holmes won't let you go easily, you go to London first, go to Professor, she will help you. ”
She said in a hoarse voice. It's not much better than me, but it's still holding on, and I'm smiling more ugly than crying.
"Goodbye...... Don't show that expression, trust me, I'm the Anemo Girl! The parting is only temporary, we will definitely meet again somewhere, and then ...... Before I do that, I have something I want to ask you. ”
She stuffed the maple leaf-shaped fan in her hand, the relic of her grandfather, whom I had begged her several times as a life-saver, but was all vaguely prevaricated and rejected by the artifact.
"Take care of this for me, and ...... By the way, and my name."
She said
"Now it's only you who is exposed, I haven't, so let's separate and run away now, from today onwards I am you, and you ...... You're the fastest crow tengu, you're the 'Shooting Pill Bun'! ”
She gently leaned over my earlobe.
"Okay, we'll definitely meet again, Wen."
☆Apocalyptic calendar, July 1, 999, main story☆
Fu Li, who spread her arms, looked at the winged human girl in front of her who suddenly fell from the sky.
I don't know why I have a feeling of being caught by the teacher for desertion in class, Fu Li immediately withdrew her outstretched arms, scratching the back of her head, and awkwardly spit out an onomatopoeia.
"Huh?"
For someone who met for the first time, it could be said that it was quite rude, but the Wingman Girl didn't seem to care about it, and still had a hearty smile on her face, repeating her words in a cheerful voice that sounded like a reflection of the owner's personality.
"From the West Continent, there is your express, please sign for it~"
It's wrong, the radio waves are wrong. For some reason, Fu Li had this wonderful feeling at the first sight of her.
How to say it, it's not that Fu Li hates this kind of energetic beautiful girl, it's just that he's not good at dealing with this kind of cheerful and overly overly familiar person. I always feel like it's going to be hard to get along with.
What was I thinking? Fu Li shook her head, dismissing the idea that popped up suddenly. It's just that we meet in the water, and it's not that we have to meet often in the future, so it doesn't matter if you're not good at it.
Because the radio waves were wrong, Fu Li rarely said with some restraint:
"Hmm...... Do you see anything? ”
"No~"
It's still cheerful, as if it's about to sing. It seems that this lady is still very aware of the confidentiality of her customers.
"That's good. Ahem, so, is there a courier that I want to sign for? ”
"Yes~~" Miss Tengu took out a square palm-sized metal box from her waist, but did not immediately hand it to Fu Li, "Because it is a letter with a very high level of confidentiality, the postman asked me to confirm your identity by the agreed method, do you accept it?" ”
It was still respectful, but I couldn't hear the sincerity of the official tone.
Just hearing this request, Fu Li's mind flashed the names of several people who might send the letter, so he asked first:
"Before I do that, I'll check again, is the sender's address the City of London?"
"Yes." Miss Tengu readily admitted.
So Fu Li also let go of the vigilance that had become instinctive in her heart, raised her hand and lifted the bangs on her forehead, revealing the entity of her covered right eye-
No, that's not quite right, because under Fu Li's bangs, the place that should have been her right eye was replaced by a pair of blindfolds.
The pure black blindfold with very fine workmanship, the material used is not ordinary alchemy fabric, but Fu Li purchased it from the magic prop shop opened by Miss Evangeline, and a certain Aragami eyelid with the attribute of "negating all energy".
If that's all it takes, it's disturbing that the part of the eye mask that should just cover the eye socket is fitted with a metal lock just made by Olija, which directly looks like the glass in the eye socket has been dug out, and then a pair of copper locks are inlaid into it, which makes people feel hairy to look at.
It is precisely because of this that Fu Li deliberately left her bangs particularly long to cover the flaws on this beautiful face - this is not to say that Fu Li is narcissistic, but because his appearance is indeed very similar to his adoptive mother and sister, if he denies the beauty of this face, Fu Li, who is quite short-sighted, will feel that this is insulting his family.
By the way, Fu Li has been wearing this blindfold since she was a child, but he didn't until recently that it was a product from Evangeline.
If it is used, it is both a protection and a seal.
Because this is really a maverick as a personal symbol, Miss Tengu only took a cursory look at Fu Li's identity and handed over the box and a form for Fu Li's signature to confirm.
Fu Li took the box that was much lighter than it looked, and it didn't feel like it was heavier than a candy, and then her eyes swept over the sender's column on the form.
Unsurprisingly, I saw the name.
――Kazami Natsusheng
I've said this many times before, but let's emphasize it again.
Fu Li's adoptive mother, the current Hakurei Shrine Maiden, is a much younger one who looks much younger than her adopted children...... Mature women, generally speaking, when outsiders see their family, the first reaction is twin sisters and a little sister who is a few years younger.
However, since Fu Li has a memory, the dignity of the Poryeo Witch has never changed, and the Hirori Witch who belongs to the 'very mature adult' in personality does not particularly care about age, but Fu Li still deduces a surprising fact from the information she occasionally inadvertently revealed.
This adoptive mother who stepped on the dividing line of 10,000 years of Lori, conservatively estimated, has been active since at least the 'Dark Pioneer Period' when the Great Enchantment was initially established around the world two hundred years ago!
Even Fu Li occasionally had thoughts in her mind about whether that person would actually be in the same period as the last gods, and even ...... She herself may well be a remnant of a God-man!
Well, it's far from saying, in short, the one who has been the 'current' Hakurei shrine maiden since at least two hundred years ago, although she is stingy and money-worshipping (this perfect 'inheritance' is given to her adopted children), and looks like a child, she does have interpersonal relationships all over the planet, and even the entire Earth system (note: there is no sun as a star in the main world at this time, so the earth basically replaces the position of the sun).
Not to mention that the time is too far away to be exquisite, you must know that she is now holding a 'Bo Li Divine Fist' title in Tianqi to open a gym called 'Bo Li Martial Arts Hall'. There have always been countless people who want to slap her up.
And among these people who stammered with the Witch of Boli, there was a special person who seemed to have the idea of 'saving the country with a curve' that Fu Li remembered.
The reason is very simple, because he doesn't directly give gifts to the Hirori Shrine Maiden who hates this kind of bribery, but turns a corner and gives a gadget to the two siblings of Hiroshi Hongji or Fu Li every once in a while.
His work seems to be akin to archaeology. The things that are sent from time to time are either some gadgets found in some ruins, or they are cultural specialties from the local ruins, and occasionally they are sent together with a letter, entrusting Fu Li or Hongzhi to transfer them to the Boli Shrine Maiden, although Fu Li has not seen it, but there should be something that wants to ask the Boli Shrine Maiden.
Sure enough, when Fu Li signed her name on the receipt, she didn't open it immediately, but tentatively asked Miss Tengu, "Is that all there is to it?" After that, Miss Tengu decisively pulled out an envelope from the collar on her chest.
Feeling the residual warmth on the envelope in her hand, Fu Li's mentality was quite complicated, because this Miss Tengu didn't know whether she was intentional or nervous, and when she took out the envelope, the arc of her movements was a little bigger, so Fu Li accidentally saw a very rude picture.
(black lace edging...... )
Shaking her head, Fu Li wanted to stuff the bad picture in her mind into the corner, but at this time, Miss Tengu, who was supposed to leave directly, suddenly spoke:
"I hope you can give this letter to the 'Witch of Woe' to read for yourself."
