The cold ground, with the shadows of the people walking on it, was blurry and chaotic, almost indiscernible. The biting chill also wanders in the body wantonly, although it is harmless, but it is really uncomfortable.

But...... Even if you are in so much pain that you want to turn around and escape immediately, you must continue to maintain a "calm" attitude and push the wheelchair slowly. Maybe it's absolute confidence in "safety management", after the invitation was handed over, Alice, who was pushing a wheelchair, was no longer disturbed by any unnecessary interference, although the "enemies" that appeared on both sides from time to time were a little strange, but they still stood there honestly.

Yes...... These are the "magic messengers" who can really be regarded as positions, and if they can stay in this kind of place, their strength must not be much worse. After all, there are "advancements" such as "witches" in even magic messengers, not to mention the "outside" where the hierarchy and class system also exist.

A bunch of seemingly unfathomable enemies, combined with this "giant castle" like a base, plus the support of "technology" and "era". Indeed, this is something that will give witches a headache.

Fortunately, as I walked with my steps, the cold feeling began to improve. The guard, who deliberately stood by the elevator, respectfully made way for Alice and Ciel, and informed them of the location of the presentation, and as the heavy, inorganic door of the elevator closed, the chill that almost made Alice a little unbearable finally eased a lot.

"Be vigilant later. ”

Silently staring at the changing numbers, Ciel gave Alice a final reminder, "I can't be with you all the time. ”

"Ahh No problem. ”

One side should bear. Alice kneaded her hands. It's an incredible feeling. Obviously, this time the presentation was on the top floor where you could almost reach out and touch the clouds, but your body became slightly warmer as the elevator floor went up. "Heating"? I guess that's what I say outside, but ...... Maybe it's because I'm a little away from some magicians that I relax my body.

【Ding】

One way or another, the "war", which is not a war, has now begun!

Taking a deep breath, Alice straightened up. As the heavy elevator door gradually opened, this time the "battlefield" slowly appeared in Alice's sight.

A little surprised. I thought it would be a trial scene like a "multi-party trial", but judging from the tables and chairs in front of me, and the "waiters" walking around with plates, this so-called "presentation" is more like a sheepskin covered with a "banquet". Of course, the "waiters" who walk steadily and look at the guests from time to time are naturally magical, although for the "guests" who only need to "pay" to enjoy, there is no need to care at all.

In places where etiquette and quality are highly demanding, naturally no one will make any out-of-the-ordinary behavior. Xi'er said that in addition to entrepreneurs and investors with deep pockets, there are also some celebrities and officials who have a lot of power. In general, this "presentation" has long been like a fairy tale "ball", beyond the meaning of the original existence, and no one wants to make a fool of themselves here. Of course......

If it's ugly. There is absolutely no casual forgiveness.

Soon, the guests, who were aware of Alice and Ciel's existence, cast all kinds of glances, and then began to discuss in a whisper, seemingly "inadvertently". Of course...... This conversation was inaudible, and there was no need to hear it clearly, and the only thing that made Alice a little concerned was the way the guests looked at Ciel.

That...... I don't think it's any "goodwill". Forget it, this is Xi'er's business, as long as she is still calmly in a wheelchair, it means that things are still within the range of her acceptance. As for what he needs to accomplish in private, he doesn't need to care about Xi'er's face.

Calmly stepping forward, Alice pushed the wheelchair and carried Ciel slowly to the guests. Xi'er, who was already extremely proficient in these occasions, kept nodding her head and greeting her acquaintances who "said hello to her". This is somewhat similar to the royal ball, in which acquaintances or enemies, good intentions or malicious intentions, as long as the other party remains "reasonable", they must also show a smile. Rash anger only reduces her image and prestige, even Alice knows this all too well.

No one paid attention to Alice, and the moment they saw Xi'er, everyone put their minds on Xi'er, and naturally they didn't care about a "stinky boy" who pushed a wheelchair. It's a little unpleasant, but it's ...... It's a good opportunity.

Looking, scrutinizing, while the guests were all focused on Ciel, or returning to their original circle, Alice kept looking at the guests of this presentation. Everyone seems to have a default understanding, and the gathered circles are all talking about content that matches the identity of the corresponding guests.

For example, Xi'er here is a "financier" and an "investor", even if she is just standing, Alice smells a strong smell of fireworks, considering that there are no "forever friends" in these industries, so murderous is not to be expected.

Not far away, there seemed to be some "literary people", who didn't care too much about their attire, and they were gathering together at the moment, chirping and jumping like sparrows that had seen a rice pile. Is it to invite them to exert force in "publicity"?

In addition, celebrities who are "elegant" on the surface, but have actually "intertwined swords", shuttle among the guests and meet their requirements...... The guests and attendants were doing their job well, and nothing strange happened. Everyone was waiting for the presentation to begin, waiting for the "Professor Price" to appear.

But...... I always felt a little strange in my heart, even the current behavior of peeping into the field, as if something was guiding me, trying to let myself discover someone.

What is this...... Even if you don't have a materialism, you should believe in magic rather than fate.

"Eri. ”

"Huh?" cheered up, Alice hurriedly lowered her head and waited for Ciel's command, such an occasion must maintain a "superficial" identity relationship.

"I don't need to move around for a while, so you can just walk around and take a break. ”

“...... I understand. Nodding respectfully, Alice, who closed her eyes, naturally ignored the gazes of those who finally looked at her, from the people around her. I'll leave the rest of the explanation to Xi'er, anyway...... A grasshopper on a rope will not do anything harmful to others and oneself.

"Just wave when you need me, I'll be there. ”

"Hmm. ”

There was a warm sensation on her cheeks, and by the time Alice came to her senses, Ciel had already winked at her. I see, using this way to dispel other people's doubts is really straightforward to rude.

"Guys, let's continue with what we just said. ”

Phew, Xi'er finally did something that was not "exchanged", but simply made for her own convenience. So...... As she said, a little turn, at least...... I also have to dispel the question marks that have been popping up in my heart.

"Hoo ......"

Taking a deep breath, Alice, who had taken care of her clothes, turned around and walked towards the figure in the corner, who had been a little concerned about since just now. (To be continued.) )
