It's a new day.

Jonah limped out of the house and stretched out in the morning sun. The tenants of room A51 gathered outside the door to discuss something, and when they saw the figure of the astrologer's apprentice, Toba rubbed his hands and bent down and said, "Lord astrologer, you are up, we are waiting for you." ”

"Hmm, Director, what's the matter?" Jonah rubbed his eyes.

"In order to compensate Daddy for the damage to the wooden house, we must take a mission of M-level or above, last night when I went to buy food, I met Mr. Yagi, Mr. Yame said that an official M-class mission would be released this morning, and after discussing with Daddy, it was pointed out to the Pitchfork team. The head of the room said a little worriedly, "I forgot to report to you last night, I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and I got up in the morning with dark circles under my eyes." ”

"Hmph. Sibi looked at the chief's unproductive appearance and blew out a breath from his small nostrils.

"Oh, what about M-class missions. Jonah thought of the annotations in the "Cherry Ferry Survival Manual", the M level is medium difficulty, and it is usually a intelligence, gathering, and survey mission to leave Cherry Ferry to carry out. Since the lives of the mission-bearers could be at risk outside the protected area of Cherry Ferry, not to mention the beasts and Colombos, a large number of powerless people lurk in the dark corners to spy on the wealth of the tenants.

Elliot wiped the coat of arms of the Blood Sword Rose on her armor with the corner of her red cloak, and asked casually, "You must not have asked what the mission was about, right, Lord Bar." ”

"Well, I get nervous as soon as I talk to Mr. Yame......" Toba's big face flushed slightly.

"Come on, let's go to Hachime. Sibby stomped his foot irritably, slammed onto Toba's shoulder, and sat down comfortably.

"Let's go. The little woman in green patted the head of the room chief and pointed in a direction. Toba saluted Jonah, put on his round hat, and shook off his stride and rumbled away.

"Not in that direction. Elliott sighed and whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear.

Sibi slapped Toba hard, and the head of the room hurriedly changed the line and hurried away.

The Rose Knight urged the unicorn, and the rider moved forward with reserved steps, and Jekong followed with a confused expression, the overly long scabbard slapping his calf from time to time.

"Let's go. On the way, I'll tell you a little story about Cherry Crossing. Ryuki smiled at Jonah and led the way.

Jonah was stunned for a moment, dragging his injured leg to catch up, and a little afraid to go hand in hand with the black-haired woman, so he gave up half a step, followed behind Long Ji, and saw that the oriental woman's small ears carved from white jade loomed under the cover of black hair, and silver bells were strung with silver threads in the hairline, and with the pace, the jingle bell was clear.

"Do you know how many people are watching us as we walk down the road like this?" said Long Ji without looking at him.

"I understand that we are only A-rated tenants, and we are not protected except for our lives. Jonah replied.

"So the partners in the team, have absolute trust in each other, just like we are walking on the road in a loose formation now, in fact, everyone's heart is clearly imprinted with each other's position, everyone looks after the other people's backs, and gives the defenseless side to their partners. An unqualified squad member can wipe out the entire team, and such a thing happens every day in Cherry Crossing. Ryuki looked back, her lacquered eyes looking into Jonah's face.

For some reason, Jonah avoided that gaze, "Oh yes, of course, I'll learn to be a qualified member of the squad, I'll learn quickly, really." Now, whose back do I need to keep an eye on?" he said in a bit of a hurry.

Ryuhime laughed silently, "I scared you." The Pitchfork squad is pretty good, and there have been fewer and fewer reckless ghosts coming at us lately. - Besides, who can you protect with your strength?"

"Won't you be weak forever......" Jonah muttered hurt to himself.

After continuous practice, the "Scorching Ray" that I learned yesterday has been able to successfully hit a target twenty yards away and burn the whole weed, and the effect should be better at night, at least the visual effect will be better.

Jonah was determined to turn the "Elementary Practical Application of the Interstellar Line of the Thirty Star "Bear" in the First House and the Seventh House Seventh" to the last page and learn the most powerful forbidden spell, but the words of the old man of the mentor sounded in his ears: "Boy, don't think about ascending to the sky in one step, astrology is not a myth, it is science, the legendary secret words, forbidden spells, ancient magic books and anything do not exist at all, if you want to get ahead, go and finish your geometry homework first." ”

"Alas. The astrologer apprentice sighed in frustration.

According to the laws of chivalric novels, I shouldn't have been caught up in the whirlpool of world changes so early, how could the protagonist be weak enough to rely on the protection of women? Thinking of the mentor whose life and death are uncertain, I can't help but feel a little bitter.

Ryuki glanced around, and some probing figures in the stone house group lurked, and she continued the topic just now: "What I want to say is that whether it is a powerful slayer or a weak wretch (yes, I am a weak wretch, Jonah thought to himself), trust is the cornerstone of the team, and in just a few days since you came to room A51, can we trust you and accept you, can you trust us and accept us?"

"Of course!" Jonah perked up and didn't hesitate.

"Good. So, what exactly are you hiding?" Ryuki suddenly stopped, staring into Jonah's eyes with a pair of abyssally black pupils.

Jonah's steps froze, he couldn't take his eyes off, he felt gravity flip backwards, his soul stirring in the depths of his body, and Ryuji's gaze was like a whirlpool, making his mind almost out of his body.

"No, no, no ......" The dark library of the Royal and Anglican Library reappeared in front of his eyes, the candlelight flickered, the nameless book written by Segres the Betrayer automatically turned the first page, the picture turned, the war burned down the library, the heavy book turned into three and a half pages, the confused and helpless boy spread his wings and flew to a huge mirror, the mirror had the same face as his own, but the expression was completely different, the corners of the person in the mirror grinned, smiled evilly, the sky and the earth flipped up, the black turned white, and the white turned black.

With a clang, the mirror shattered and turned into a sea of fragments, each with the face of the person in the mirror.

Jonah returns to the real world, the cherry crosses the sunshine, the water rushes on the other side of the holy river, and the sound of the mirror cracking turns out to be the small silver bell in the dragon queen's hair ringing in the wind.

Jonah noticed himself in a cold sweat and asked blankly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Let's go. Long Ji rubbed her eyebrows with her hand, looked at Jonah five times three times suspiciously, and turned to leave.

Jonah patted his head, not remembering what had just happened, only keeping up with the woman.

The owner of Cherry Ferry is Daddy, Daddy's friend is Mr. Yame, Mr. Yame is Daddy's eyes and arms, and the release of all official tasks, team qualifications, timing and reward distribution are all completed by this important person alone, it can be said that Mr. Yame is the official spokesperson of Cherry Ferry

There is also an important person named W, who is the king of the night in Cherry Crossing, and all the shady deeds happen in Mr. W's room. On the way, Ryuhime gave a brief introduction to the newcomers.

Cherry Ferry is not big, and at the time of a bag of cigarettes, the tenants of A51 came to an unnumbered stone house. In front of the door of the house, there were more than a dozen gentlemen and ladies with exquisite costumes and ruddy faces, and the intricate and gorgeous court costumes of the Western Continent seemed incompatible with the dark color of Cherry Du.

"Hey, there's a big gathering of V-rated tenants! Sibby, who had arrived first, jumped off Toba's shoulder and shouted with a hint of surprise, and a noblewoman glanced at the members of the Pitchfork Squad, turned her face away, and covered her nose with a fragrant handkerchief.

"They were the privileged class of Cherry Ferry, wealthy merchants or aristocrats, who gathered here for ferry tickets or other reasons, and stayed in expensive V-class rooms for long periods of time. By the way, the monthly rent is fifty gold coins or equivalent. Elliott explained in a low voice.

"Then our A-class room is ......" Jonah, who was born in the five guilds, did not have an intuitive understanding of the monetary unit.

"15 silver coins per month. They paid for me. The Rose Knight said with a little embarrassment. It seems that the noble knights who crisscross the continent also have the economic problems of the general public, Jonah secretly thought, feeling a little more balanced psychologically.

Toba stood respectfully outside the small circle of V-class tenants, opened his mouth, and did not speak. As soon as they saw the nobility, the Bazelar peasants reverted to their original identity and were nervous to death.

At this time, the door opened, and someone came out and stood in the middle of the crowd, and said loudly: "Distinguished guests, the visit is over, go back and rest, before Daddy's house is rebuilt, the task bulletin board is hung on my back wall, and the task list can be posted at any time." ”

A big fat man in an inappropriate evening dress wiped his sweat and said, "How much information will Daddy share with us?"

"The old rules, only tell you what you should know. Let's go, friends, I'm going to receive my clients. Mr. Hachime made a "please" gesture, and the V-class tenants buzzed and discussed, divided into small groups of three or five, and left.

"Brother Toba, members of the Pitchfork, by the way, and the new magician, hello. Hachime turned to the crowd and greeted them politely.

"It's an astrologer. Toba corrected in a low voice.

"Y-Hello. Jonah's mouth was slurred with his mouth open in surprise. Mr. Hachime was a woman, a tall, plump young red-haired woman in a floral dress and a floral turban, much to the shame of the young astrologer's apprentice.

"Mr. Hachime is a woman, why is a woman called sir?" he whispered to Elliot next to him.

"Don't ask her that question. Eli replied secretly.

"Since you came, the night of Cherry Ferry has become much brighter, and it has made it much safer for the lonely and helpless widow to walk at night, thank you. Mr. Hachime smiled and lifted his skirt in a symbolic squatting salute, and Jonah quickly bowed back deeply.

"Uh, Hachime...... Sir, I didn't expect ......" he stammered explaining his gaffe.

"What didn't you expect?" the sexy young woman glared at him with bright pale blue eyes, "I'm widowed at such a young age?"

"Uh...... No, I thought you ......"

Elliott looked gracefully into the distance, and the unicorn raised his right front hoof and gently stepped on the top of Jonah's foot, twisting it twice, and the pain prevented the newcomer to Cherry Ferry from saying the biggest forbidden word in town: "Sir" about gender.

Jonah bent down with a groan, "So, dear mission publisher, what do we need to do for you this time?" the Rose Knight smiled as he shifted the subject.

"Oh yes, come over here. Mr. Yame nodded and turned away.

"Whew~" Sibi wiped the cold sweat and wiped his neck with Jonah, who was rubbing the surface of his feet.
