Chapter XXVI Payment

According to Summer Night's account to Lillian, she lost almost everything in the battle against a powerful enemy in the Aether Sea.

This is a convincing statement, so Lillian doesn't have any doubts.

Of course, the reality is that he is a headless corpse that crawled out of the body bag, and of course he has no belongings, and he is thankful that he can still have a piece of clothing on him.

In Debussota, it's almost impossible to get out without a broom. Not good enough, there are often other witches who encounter things like broken brooms or lost brooms, so in many places in the city, temporary rental points for brooms are set up.

Incidentally, the entire urban broom leasing business is owned by a single company, Fengxing Leasing, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ether Exploration. That said, Aether exploration actually monopolizes the entire broomstick rental business in Debsota, and a similar situation exists in many other industries.

Summer Night followed Lillian to the 100th floor of the building, stepped out of the elevator-like lift, and onto the terrace, where she immediately saw rows of brooms neatly locked to shelves.

All the brooms are blue, with the company logo of Fengxing Rental printed on them, and here they are unattended, and at one end of the shelf, there is a machine that looks like it is self-operated.

"Like this...... Click here...... Click here again...... Then choose the time you want to rent and then pay the mana on it......"

Lillian demonstrates it to Summer Night, and at the last step of payment, she is about to pull out the crystal ball, but Summer Night hurriedly stops her.

"I'll do it." She said.

"Huh? But isn't it possible for Sister Xia Ye to pay her magic normally? Lillian remembered that she couldn't pay her rent.

"Maybe it wasn't the right way then, so I'd like to try again now."

Summer Night said, selecting "Manual Payment" on the payment method interface, and then pressed the palm of her hand on the designated position of the crystal plate.

She focused her mind on imagining that she was completing a contract to voluntarily overdraw the magic of 1 Mor to gain access to the broom for four hours.

"Payment complete." A prompt pops up on the screen.

At the same time, Summer Night felt a small amount of magic flow from her empty cup, and she raised her right hand to see that the number on her wrist had changed from -2503 to -2504.

Sure enough, she silently thought, only "payment" can exude magic from the cup, and "transfer" cannot. When she paid the rent before, she failed because she wanted to "transfer" the magic of 120 Moles to Lilian, rather than "paying" the rent of 120 More Mana herself.

However, to confirm this hypothesis, it is best to test again with the same subject.

"You see, it worked." Summer Night pointed to the screen and said to Lilian.

"In other words, Sister Xia Ye will be able to use her magic power to buy things normally in the future?" Lillian asked.

"Well, that's right."

"That's great."

"Yes, I can pay you the rent I owe you."

Hearing Xia Ye say this, Lilian hurriedly waved her hand: "You don't have to pay it back...... Yes! ”

Before she finished speaking, Xia Ye had already grabbed her palm, and Lilian subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Xia Ye used a slight force, and her slender but powerful fingers firmly restrained the girl's little hand in the palm of her hand.

The soft white light lit up and went out, and this time, Summer Night felt the magic successfully overdraw from the cup.

She let go of Lillian's hand and flipped her wrist over to see that the number had become -2624.

"You pinched my hands...... Lillian whispered as she rubbed her palms down.

"I don't like to owe people something." Summer Night said.

"Oh......" the girl pouted, and said nothing more.

Summer Night turned around and took down his rented broom from the shelf, and in Debussota, "broom" had become a term specifically referring to the witch's flying tool, and almost no one knew that there was another broom that was a cleaning tool. After all, if you want to clean the floor of your home, you only need a level 1 witch contract "Dust Avoidance Technique" to solve it.

And the appearance of the broom in his hand is no longer the same as the broom in the impression of the summer night.

First of all, it is collapsible, and when folded, it is only about half a meter long, and as long as you press your thumb in the designated position, it will unfold with a "click" and become a stick about one and a half meters long, suspended in mid-air less than one meter high.

Secondly, at its tail, of course, there are no broom whiskers or the like, and instead there are several triangular structures that resemble spouts, which are not lacquered and shimmer with a silvery metallic sheen.

Finally, and most crucially, it had been strange until the summer night—wouldn't the witch be in pain from the diaphragm when she was flying on a broomstick, whether she was sitting on her side or in any other position?

It wasn't until now, when she actually sat down, that she finally knew the answer - no, at least not entirely. When she sat on it on the summer night, the broom immediately produced something similar to a force field, supporting her body, expanding the area of force and helping her maintain her balance.

But even so, the broom is still not so comfortable to sit on, but after all, this is only a rental broom, if it is very advanced, maybe the comfort will be better?

Brooms fly by magic, and these magic powers naturally come from the user himself. Although it has only been less than two days since she crossed into this world, Summer Night has gradually discovered that it seems that every aspect of daily life requires magic.

"Lillian, let's go." Summer Night said.

"Okay, what is Sister Summer Night going to buy first?"

Although Lillian hadn't said anything more since she had just said "oh", her reaction had completely returned to normal when she spoke to her at this time.

"Let's go buy clothes and hats first." Summer Night thought about it and said. She still cares a lot about her image, not to mention, the dress on her body has been worn since she was a corpse, and she always feels a little weird if she doesn't change it.

"Does Sister Summer Night have any requests?" Lillian asked again, "If you want to buy the one you are wearing now, it is estimated that the price is not cheap, and you have to go to the ...... in the middle area."

"No, no, no......" Xia Ye hurriedly waved his hand, "I want a large number, good-looking and cheap." ”

She has always implemented a unique pragmatism when it comes to dressing – first, clothes are meant to be seen by others; Secondly, clothes are a consumable.

Therefore, before crossing over, Summer Night likes to pick a bunch of beautiful but inexpensive clothes at one time, and she will throw it away after wearing each dress for a maximum of two months, and of course when all the clothes are consumed, she will pick another batch.

Because of the speed at which the clothes were thrown, although each one was not expensive, and the money spent on the clothes on the summer night was a large amount, but for her financial resources at that time, it was only a small amount of money.

"Isn't the quantity beautiful and expensive......" Lillian thought for a moment and suddenly smiled, "I see, I know a store that meets the requirements of Sister Summer Night." Speaking of which, I also buy clothes there a lot. ”

"Then let's go."

"Hmm."

Lillian, riding her broomstick, rose first, and the summer night was a little slower, and soon flew into the sky as well.

The broom is not difficult to manoeuvre...... No, it should be said that there was a sense of familiarity that she didn't expect, the original host's body obviously still retained the physical memory of manipulating the broomstick, and it only took a few tens of seconds for her to be able to fly in the sky as she wanted.

The refreshing wind blows in the face, and under the adjustment of the broom's own force field, neither too big nor too small, Summer Night and Lillian fly side by side through the tall buildings, towards their destination.
