Drops –

Lillian placed the crystal ball in the lock of the door, and with a soft sound, the door opened automatically.

Looking at this series of processes, Xia Ye felt a familiar sense of technology. In the world before the crossing, most people did the same, using mobile phone sensing or fingerprint scanning to open the door.

But the various details around exude a classical sense that is diametrically opposed to the sense of technology.

For example, the door in front of me is actually made of stone, and the surface is also carved with delicate carvings, and the door lock is not a mechanical device, but a rune that looks like a witch's contract.

The same is true of what I just saw outside.

It is obviously a science fiction sense of hundreds of high-rise buildings and huge advertising screens, but the high-rise buildings do not use glass exterior walls, but stone walls carved with gorgeous reliefs; As for those advertising screens, they turned out to be unimaginably large crystal plates, and the light of the runes kept circulating around their edges, driving the advertising screens to play repeatedly.

Magical Punk ......

Summer Night couldn't help but think of such a word.

No, strictly speaking, it's not magic that drives this world, it's the witch contract.

So, should it be called "witch punk"?

"Traveling Witch-sama, this—This is my home, please come ......"

Lilian's voice interrupted Summer Night's thoughts, and the girl's voice was a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, after all, it seemed to her that she was inviting a powerful and mysterious "Traveling Witch" to her home.

"Excuse me."

Summer Night replied calmly as she walked through Lilian's house. She hooked her calves, took off the small black leather shoes from her feet one by one, placed them by the door, then straightened up, took off the triangular hood around her neck, and held it in her hand.

Although she didn't have a head, Lilian still felt that Summer Night was looking at her, and she reacted very cleverly: "Ahh......h The hat can be hung there. ”

"Well, thank you."

Summer Night followed the direction of Lilian's finger and saw the hat rack standing next to the wall, on which a delicate black witch hat was already hung, which must have been Lillian's, and after hanging the black triangular hood with red stains side by side with it, the strong contrast was immediately revealed.

Well...... It seems that next, I will first go to buy a witch hat, Xia Ye thought to herself.

But the problem is, I don't have a head, even if I buy it, how should I wear it......

At the same time as hanging up the "hat" on the summer night, Lilian had also taken off her shoes, and her little feet wrapped in translucent black silk stepped directly on the floor, there is no such thing as "slippers" in this world, because the floor of the room is spotless all the time - whether it is Lilian's home, or the closed room where the summer night is reborn, this must be the effect of some kind of witch contract.

"Traveling Witch, do you need to take a shower first? Or eat something first? Or ...... first"

"Eat you first?"

"Huh?!"

Probably a certain stalk before the crossing was played too badly, and Summer Night subconsciously took it, but Lillian obviously didn't know about it, so the girl's reaction was not shy or surprised, but frightened.

After all, Xia Ye said it herself not long ago, although she is a traveling witch, she is not guaranteed to be a good traveling witch.

Coupled with this headless appearance, Lilian couldn't help but wonder at that moment if the other party was going to eat some part of her body to perform what she called "sacrifice".

"Ahem...... I mean, ask you first. I'll ask you questions first. Looking at the petite girl who looked like a frightened bird, the summer night rarely felt a little compassion, and did not continue to scare her.

"Ah...... Such. Okay, of course, sit here! ”

Lillian let Summer Night sit on the sofa in the living room, and she dragged a chair over from her, sitting upright opposite Summer Night, her straight and slender calves together, and her hands on her knees in a proper manner, like a schoolboy waiting for the teacher to ask.

Looking at each other's appearance, Summer Night couldn't help but laugh, but for her who had no face, even if she smiled at Lilian, she couldn't see that she was always a traveling witch who was difficult to figure out.

She relaxed, leaned back on the fluffy couch, folded one thigh on top of the other, and swayed gently with her little feet wrapped in white silk.

"So, the first question ......" Summer Night raised her index finger and began her own question.

……

"Very good, next to the last question, from now on, can you call me 'Sister Summer Night'?"

"Huh?"

Lilian obviously didn't expect the last question to be this, and she didn't know how to answer it for a while.

"It's awkward to always call me 'Traveling Witch-sama' or something." Xia Ye explained, "Why don't you call me 'Sister Summer Night' in the future, how about it?" ”

"When, of course you can!"

Lillian finally reacted, nodding like a chicken pecking rice. Although she protested not long ago that Summer Night called her "landlord's sister", she ...... This is no longer the case.

"Good." Summer Night shook her neck in satisfaction, "I'll call you 'Lilian' from now on." ”

"That...... Sister Brigade, Summer Night, can I also ask you a question? Lillian cautiously raised her hand, "Ah, of course it's okay if you don't want to answer. ”

"You can ask me any question, and of course whether I answer it or not depends on the content of the question. In addition......"

Summer Night patted the cushion beside him.

"Sit down here, don't be so inhibited. Speaking of which, this is your home, and I'm just a host, so we can get along casually, don't worry, I'm not a monster, I won't eat you. ”

"Good, good ......"

Lillian rose in her chair and sat down beside Summer Night. However, she sat in the same position as before, with her legs tightly together, her hands half-clenched into fists on her knees, and she did not feel relaxed at all.

"If you have any questions, just ask." Summer Night said.

"Sister Summer Night, I'm just a little curious, I originally thought you were going to ask me some difficult questions, those questions just now...... A lot of it is common sense, right? Lillian asked, looking down, cautiously.

Because I'm a time-traveler who lacks common sense—Summer Night said in her mind, of course, she couldn't have answered Lillian like that, but gave an excuse that she had already thought of.

Pointing to the severance in her neck, she said, "I remember telling you before that I sacrificed my head to a great being whose name cannot be named. ”

"Hmm." Lillian nodded obediently.

"The reason for this is that before I arrived in this city, I encountered a terrible enemy and had to sacrifice to temporarily gain more strength in order to defeat him. But the price was that I lost my head, and although I didn't die, I also forgot a lot of things, including a lot of memories from the past, and a lot of common sense. ”

"But...... When you rented that room from me, although you wore a veil and couldn't see clearly, you did have a head. ”

Lillian thought for a moment and continued to ask, although she was in awe of Summer Night, she was not so easy to deceive.

"Because there is a delay in the payment of the sacrifice, after defeating the enemy, I arrived in the city with my wounded body in tow, and the reason why I rented that room from you was to find a place to hide temporarily. Soon after moving into the room, the price of the sacrifice was paid, and I lost my head, and I was in a coma in my room for three months, so I was unable to pay your rent on time. ”

"I see!" Lillian couldn't help but sigh, and she couldn't help but secretly feel proud in her heart at the thought that she had inadvertently helped a traveling witch who had defeated an evil enemy.

"Yes, exactly." Summer Night nodded solemnly, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for providing me with that room 3 months ago." ”

"Huh? It's good to be able to help you, and you don't need to feel or thank you......"

The thought in her heart was suddenly broken, and Lilian was suddenly a little embarrassed, and a shallow flush appeared on her white porcelain-like cheeks.

Phew, now I can finally justify myself.

Looking at Lilian, who was shy, Summer Night thought silently in her heart.

To be able to make up such a story in such a short period of time, I am indeed a genius of lying.
