Most of the houses in the city are in the shape of trapezoids next to each other, and they are roofed with tiles.

There are also blocks of spire roofs, which are relatively small in number, and are supposed to prevent excessive snow accumulation on the roof in winter, so they are designed like this.

I stepped on the tiles and ran on the rooftop, chasing the cats in front of me.

I didn't run fast because I was afraid of falling.

I kept an eye on the movement of the cat in front of me, and followed it over several buildings, but I couldn't catch up.

Chasing to the top of a bungalow, the cat drove its sturdy body and flexibly jumped into a small alley.

I carefully slid down the eaves.

The house was low, only two meters above the ground, so I didn't get hurt and landed on the ground without any problems.

There was a lot of people around, and I managed to squeeze it out and then went into the alley.

"Hehe, got you!"

It's a dead end, and in front of the cat is a thick earthen wall, and it has no way back.

"Meow!"

Glancing back at me, the cat put down the ring in her mouth and jumped towards the wall to the side.

Under my stunned gaze, it just climbed the wall and ran.

"It's still like this!"

Muttering to myself, I stepped forward to pick up the green ring.

Shikari said there was something important to her.

What could it be?

Is it a green fat time, or swimsuit underwear?

If I keep it, won't the contents be mine?

No, no, no, I'm not that kind of person.

Besides, why do I want girls' underwear, could it be that I'm the kind of pervert who vents his desire for clothes?

It's absolutely impossible.

Shaking my head, I dismissed the thought that popped up.

As soon as I turned around and was about to walk out of the alley, at the mouth of the alley, a sudden figure startled me.

It was a guy wrapped in a white cloth and wearing a skull mask on his face.

He's a magician?

Noticing the black wand in the other person's hand, I couldn't help but feel a little alarmed.

"Hand over the ring!"

"Rings?"

The other party's voice can't tell whether it is a man or a woman, so let's think he's a man for the time being.

I looked at the ring in my hand, and then at the ring on my right hand, and I didn't know which one he wanted.

Anyway, I can't give any of them.

"Waterspout!"

I quickly pulled out my wand, pronounced the incantation, and finally shouted the name of the move.

A swirling waterspout was thrown out by me with my wand, rising from fist size to two meters, and rushed towards the masked man.

As the saying goes, if you hesitate, you will lose, so I have to act decisively against strangers who are unknown and may pose a threat to me.

Even in the stable and harmonious society of the previous life, a person may encounter bad people who seek money and kill people when he is outside.

What's more, I have been reincarnated in another world, and I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid that in case, I must think more about my own life.

My move played a surprise role, and it seemed that the other party didn't expect me to attack so decisively, as if he was afraid and took a step back.

Something unexpected happened.

The masked man let out a cold snort, flicked his wand in his hand, and whispered in his mouth as a cold wind hit him from his direction.

I felt a tremendous chill in my face, and in an instant, my robe was filled with a biting cold wind, and I shivered.

Look at the waterspout I wielded, it had turned into an ice sculpture at the moment, and the whole alley was covered with a layer of frost.

The waterspout shattered and fell to the ground into a pile of crushed ice.

"Hand over the things to the acquaintances, or ......"

The masked man approached me in the alley, his white armcloth fluttering in the wind.

I gritted my teeth, pointed my wand at him, and simply cast my fire magic.

"The encounter between the sacred flame and the earth and stone, make great magic, fire and earth flame!"

Since the mixed magic of fire and earth is too powerful, I'm worried that I'll cause some trouble and hurt the civilians outside.

It's not good to make too much noise and attract the junior knights patrolling nearby.

Therefore, I deliberately reduced the power of the magic and weakened the power of the magic.

Without Elena's help, relying on my own magic, I can only use this type of attack magic up to five times at this stage, and I have to preserve my magic power well.

The earth and rocks that shoot out are burning with fierce flames, which I call flame bombs.

An earthen wall rose with the wave of the masked man's wand, colliding with the flame bomb in an instant.

After all, I collected some strength, and the effect of the flame bomb was not obvious, and the earthen wall successfully blocked it.

Without the supply of mana, the flames emitted by the flame bomb quickly dissipated, and the whole thing fell to the ground, shattering into a pile of small red stones.

"Hehehe, it turns out that you have this ability!"

The masked man's voice came from behind the earthen wall.

The earthen wall collapsed, and I aimed my wand in front of me, ready to unleash a magical attack.

But what puzzled me was that the masked man was completely gone.

I stood there for several minutes, not waiting for the other party to attack, and then I relaxed, touching my head and feeling puzzled.

"He's leaving?"

Walking out of the alley and looking at the bustling crowd around me, I was sure that the masked man had indeed left.

I guess I'm afraid I'll attract the knights around.

But it's really strange, I ran away after a while.

When I got back to the hotel, I returned the ring to Shikali, and she thanked me and said that she would invite me to dinner later.

I understood what she was thinking, and she just wanted to use me to find out about the Kokoa School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

I'm not going to say it explicitly, I'm just pretending to be elated, pretending to be happy.

In this way, I separated from her and walked to the market alone.

I hadn't taken two steps when Elena's figure appeared beside me.

"I knew I was going shopping, so I ran out immediately?" I quipped.

Elena smiled and said, "I just want to come out and do some activities, the master shouldn't mind, right?" ”

"Mmmm, I was just about to call you out, go shopping with you today, and say whatever you want to eat."

"Thank you, host."

『Opinion: 21』

Looking at the numbers on Elena's head, I sighed inwardly.

It's getting harder and harder to get a liking for her.

The last time she ate maltose, she suddenly improved so much, so I wanted to experiment and see if I could cash her out if I used maltose again.

But I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find the old man who pushed the cart before, and the maltose naturally couldn't be obtained, which couldn't help but make me a little disappointed.

I said bitterly to Elena: "Elena, do you know how much my living expenses cost me when I accompanied you shopping for things?" ”

Elena tilted her head, looked at me, shook her head, and looked a little dumbfounded: "I don't know." ”

She asked, "So the master can't buy me anything to eat in the future?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Of course not, you are my friend, I will not be so stingy." ”

Because you can bring me benefits, as a normal person, of course it will be good to you.

In a joking tone, I continued: "You came out immediately when I was shopping, but I didn't have it at the critical moment, and I felt that my money was spent in vain. ”

Elena scratched the back of her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry master, I saw what happened to you in the alley just now."

In order for the master to grow and be independent, so as not to become dependent on me, I only take action at critical moments, hoping that the master can forgive. ”

"So that's the case, then I'll forgive you, after all, you have helped me a lot, and I need more advice from you in the future."

I smiled.
