After the conclusion of the four-academy competition, the teams of the other three colleges began to embark on their way home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, as Sekaria told Chelus, Xiao Ai, the ace of the Digakar Academy main team, Xiao Ai, a magical genius girl of the water and earth family, and her two friends, Yalan, the water elemental leader of the Digakar Academy main team, and Selena, the wind elemental leader, did not leave with the Digakar Academy team, but stayed alone in the form of auditing the study tour.

The Digakar Academy is much more relaxed in its control over senior students than the Loris National Academy, and the three of them are the three elite magicians in the current class of the Digakar Academy, so it is easy for the three of them to have such a free privilege.

At Sekaria's suggestion, the three of them moved into the four-person dormitory of Cherus and Nanoha after the four-house match, and since Sakura and Chiyo graduated, there have been only two of them living here, and it was more than enough for five people to live after packing up a room as a temporary room. Naturally, Cherus and Nanoha had no problem with such an arrangement, and the trio of Digakar were even more happy about it.

Since the freshman competition three years ago, Xiao Ai has become an admirer of Cheruth, and it was not until the four academies that the two met again in the four academies three years later, and this weak girl still maintained a good impression of Cheruth that even the wolf girl herself couldn't understand. Obviously, if you want to talk about the age, the two of them are the same age, and it is even possible that Xiao Ai is older in the number of months, but this weak girl has always insisted on calling Cheruth "sister". Although I don't know how I inadvertently captured the "heart" of this weak girl back then, but because Xiao Ai is indeed a likable child, Cheruth is happy to accept such a cute fan.

And Yalan and Selena are not familiar with Cheruth, but because of the mutual friend Xiao Ai as an intersection, in just two weeks, the two have also become good friends with Cheruth and Nanoha.

Soon, the first week after the four-house competition passed, and the college had no classes on the weekend, so Chelus and Nanoha invited Xiao Ai and the three of them to return to the wolf girl's home in Alrant City as guests.

In the evening, the five of them left the dormitory and walked along the main road of the academy towards the gate leading to the city of Alrante. The group is full of beautiful girls with quite high points, and there is a new campus idol named by Cheruth, so naturally she constantly attracts the attention of the students around her on the road.

"Ah~ It's Sister Cheruth. ”

"That one is the genius of the Digakar Academy, Sister Ai, right? I paid attention to her during the Fourth Academy Competition, she was beautiful and good-tempered. ”

"I didn't expect Sister Chelus to have such a good relationship with the people at Digakar Academy, and I heard that they have been friends since the freshman tournament three years ago. ”

"Sister Cheruth, it's still so cute if you haven't seen you for a week-cough ahem, full of majesty......"

..................

Chelus walked very calmly, in the past three years, especially since Sekaria graduated and replaced Her Royal Highness the princess to become the first idol of the academy, she has not experienced such attention for a day or two.

However, Xiao Ai beside her is obviously not able to adapt, although the kind of timidity and cowardice of the year has been overcome by Xiao Ai himself a lot as she grows older, but this is just so that Xiao Ai can finally adjust her mentality when facing a big occasion like the Four Courtyard Tournament, and will not shrink her hands and feet because of stage fright.

"Ahh......h Sister Cheruth, everybody's watching us......"

"Don't care, just get used to it. Chelus said and turned her head and smiled at Xiao Ai, "Actually, everyone has no malicious intent, you showed your talent in the Four Houses Competition and won everyone's recognition, and everyone will express their admiration for you in this way." ”

"But, I'm still so shy......"

Xiao Ai grabbed the arm on the side of Cheruth, as if she subconsciously wanted to rub against Cheruth and then avoid everyone's attention, the wolf girl looked at Xiao Ai who was obviously a little taller than herself after three years, and didn't know if she should remind her that she couldn't stop her.

#个子矮真是抱歉了呢#

The two lolis who walked in front - although Xiao Ai was taller than the current Cheruth, but it was really just a little bit and did not let Xiao Ai get out of the category of Lori's size at all - hugged together and attracted the attention of most passers-by, which made Nanoha and Yaran Selena who were walking behind a lot easier.

"Hey...... So, Cherus-san hasn't really studied the art of wind magic?"

Selena asked Nanoha with great interest.

"Well, after all, we are not students of the Department of Magic, and Cheruth usually spends her most of her time on magic engineering, but in fact, Cheruth also said that in fact, magic engineering and magic are not as estranged as everyone thinks, especially magic rune literature and magic rune based on it, many times after translating the traditional magic style in the way of magic rune magic, it is unexpectedly able to analyze and interpret the pros and cons of the original method more clearly from another angle. ”

"He really deserves to be the disciple of the 'Qiu Qi' master. ”

Selena looked at the back of Cheruth who was walking in front with admiration, as the wind element of Digakar Academy, her strength is now at the peak of the fourth order, and Selena, who is just stuck in the so-called "fourth-order barrier" stage in the magic world, can be said to be extremely admired by Cheruth from the level of magical strength. In her opinion, the sage mage who watched the battle really did not make any mistake in his evaluation of Cheruth's "fifth-order arcane mage".

For Selena, who has faced Cheruth several times head-to-head and close-up in the four-house tournament, the flexibility and creativity in the manipulation of magic and the details of the spell contained in Cheruth's magic have benefited her opponent a lot. Even after being inspired by Cheruth's use of wind magic, she had a vague feeling that she might have taken a big step forward in breaking through the "Fourth-Order Barrier" recently, and would soon be able to officially break through to the Fifth Order.

"Allahala, the charm of Cherus's classmates is really not to be underestimated, after Xiao Ai, our family Selena is finally going to fall. ”

Yalan smiled and teased Selena, Selena's face flushed slightly when she heard this, she didn't have any thoughts about Cheruth except friendship and admiration, but as a girl in the midst of youth and ignorance, Selena naturally felt shy because she was teased by others in this way.

"What, what's there, Yalan, you're joking with me again!"

Saying this, Selena couldn't help but look at Nanoha on the other side, who had lived in Cheruth's dormitory during this time, and they had seen many times the kind of tacit and natural interaction between Cheruth and Nanoha. If Selena only admires Cheruth, and Xiao Ai admires Cheruth and also has an inexplicable sense of closeness and a trace of goodwill, then the usual relationship between Nanoha and Cheruth looks like an old husband and wife, there will be no obvious ambiguity, but many times it is just a subtle move, and if you experience it carefully, you can taste the faint intimacy that only belongs to these two people.

It is precisely because of this that Selena inexplicably feels a little weak about Nanoha after being teased like this by Yalan, and Yalan also realizes that it seems that such a joke may make Nanoha feel uncomfortable, and can't help but look at the chestnut-haired girl with some apologies.

To their relief, however, Nanoha didn't seem to be angry, or even thought as much as they feared, and the girl took up Yalan's words with a gentle smile.

"Well, if Selena really has such an idea, then you have to hurry, Cheruth is very sought-after in our place, and there are many opponents who are very powerful. ”

Seeing that Nanoha was not angry, both Selena and Yalan breathed a sigh of relief, and then Selena protested.

"Really, even Nanoha-san said so!"

"Huhuhu, this means that Nanoha-san, too, can see your thoughts, tsundere Miss Selena. ”

"Ya~Lan~!"

Since it was already the end of November and the beginning of winter, it was still evening, but the sky was already completely dark.

But for the city of Alrante, the early fall of night means that the city's glory days have begun early.

In the past, the night of Alrante, the whole city would be lit up by the star-like magic lights that relied on the power supply of the magic circuit of the first city on the mainland, and now, on the streets of Alrant at night, in addition to those bright magic lights as always, showing the splendor of the magic engineering civilization that the country has developed since the founding of the country, some new colors and elements that have not been seen three years ago have also appeared in it.

I saw a restaurant named "Dr. Bear" at the door, a one-man tall bear wearing an apron and a chef's hat was standing there, with a cute smile constantly inviting passers-by to enter. Not far from it, a small flock of colorful birds hovered and fluttered above the street, and every now and then landed on the sign of a nearby hat shop called "Colorful Feathers", and gathered together to form a gentleman's hat with a colorful feather stuck in it.

In addition, at the entrance of the candy store, the fairy tale characters that children like are dancing happily as if they were real people, and outside the restaurant that specializes in seafood on the other side, the octopus that has always looked very strange and playful on the jewelry wine barrel is smoking beautifully with a cigarette stick, and even around the fountain in the small square at the end of the street, some fireflies that should not be seen at all during this season are flying everywhere.

If Arrant used to be a brilliant world of magic lights every night, now Alrant's night is like a direct transformation into another world full of fantasy. Although it is not difficult to see that these beautiful things are actually transparent illusions if you look closely, because of this, they add more romantic and wonderful feelings to them.

And all of this stems from the magic wizard "Qiu Qi", who was born two years ago, and entrusted the Seagull Chamber of Commerce to sell an exclusive magic device - the magic illusion.

As the name suggests, the magic illusion device is a device that simply uses magic engineering methods to maintain illusion magic, of course, according to the different illusions that the buyer needs to make, each magic illusion needs to be specially customized, and the price of each magic illusion is completely different according to the size of the illusion and the degree of refinement of the details.

However, although the price of the magic illusion is not low because of these factors, since it was sold as a commodity, it has become the main selling magic guide product of the Seagull Chamber of Commerce almost overnight.

In the continent of Ares, magical items and magicians are always scarce resources, and because of this, few people use magic for entertainment or decoration such extravagant aspects, and the noble status of magicians is destined to even those wild mages who have not undergone special training and are only of the first and second orders, and can find some jobs that are very suitable for their status as magicians, and do not need to always use their half-baked magic to play magic tricks as a clown role to please the audience.

However, the sale of magic illusions has completely broken the barrier between magic and the general public, and the rich can decorate their courtyards and mansions with beautiful magic illusions without hiring special magicians; merchants can use the methods they would never dare to think of creating magic illusions to advertise their shops and chambers of commerce; and even some civilians who are willing to spend money can also customize some magic illusions that are simple but cheap to make illusions as children's toys at home。

Because of this reason, the magic guide illusion suddenly became the most popular and hot-selling product among the magic guide products, and the Seagull Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money, and the inventor "Qiu Qi" also officially became the most outstanding and influential civil magic guide inventor of today's era - although he has debuted so far No representative military or personal magic weapon has ever been released, but everyone has to admit that the mysterious wizard's ideas and creativity on how to integrate magic engineering into the daily lives of civilians are unmatched.

However, no one other than William, the president of the Lorris Chapter of the Seagull Chamber of Commerce, knew that the now acclaimed magic illusion was in fact just the brainchild of Master "Hill Chess" - or rather, it was actually just the brainchild of a failed work of Cheruth.
