Drip, drip.

It's like a sign.

Rustle...

Raindrops are falling.

Melina leaned against the window, quietly watching the colorful reflections of the streets of Hamlet Street outside the lobby of Office 383. The rain came suddenly, like an emotion.

Whoa......

The faint and imperceptible sound of the door opening was heard.

She turned her head.

One of the five rooms in the office opened, and Belén stepped out of it.

“…”

"......" Belen had a look of satisfaction on his face, "not bad." ”

"The indoor set room, the outdoor set room, the gift wrapping room, the warehouse, and the bathroom are all fully equipped."

“…”

Melina withdrew her gaze.

"What about the rent?"

"Friendship price 120 gold lei for 1 month."

If you don't earn 120 gold in 1 month, you're going to be swept away...... Melina looked out the window.

In a place like Hamlet, rent and miscellaneous expenses are naturally cheap, but even so, opening a firm is still a very financial and material thing. The reserves of various magic factors alone are no less than those of the Alchemy Workshop.

A full range of in-house equipment for insulation.

Scenography.

Video recording equipment.

Photographer.

Darkroom.

Handicraft room.

There is also a basement soundproof room, which is used for the recording of radio programs. For the time being, it is impossible to do live broadcast programs in this world, and you need to record them in advance and even edit them.

Belén was ambitious, and instead of using the traditional voice-only broadcast, he used a dual-track magic factor line with pictures, that is, a program that could be broadcast on the television of this world, which was a remarkable innovation in technology and form.

But the basement...

"Ahh

"What's wrong, Meimei?"

"Basement."

“…”

Belen walked over, her beautiful face a little colder through the reflection of the glass.

"Come with me."

"Huh? Good. ”

Melina followed the other's worried footsteps and walked down, skipping the café-like first floor and stumbling down the stairs down the basement.

"Worried, drowning?"

"Well, if it's flooded, we'll have to find a rental room in another office. Hamlet has a good scenery, some idols want to come here to shoot exteriors, thanks to the traffic brought by the second-generation students, there are finally professional offices for rent here, and there is no need to go to Tasia reluctantly. ”

"If the basement is flooded, it's not practical to rent out another room?"

"Then we can only go to Tacia to rent, or buy a set of ...... 'self-reliance', although it is expensive, but the advantage is that we can do whatever we want."

She said so, but with a melancholy look on her face.

This woman as an old-school idol has a strong sense of self-esteem, and if Sonia is asked to pay, her heart as an idol will be annihilated at once, and all of a sudden, that poor self-esteem will be destroyed to the extent of fragmentation.

What a boring self-esteem.

Melina thought to herself, also walking with a little worry.

…

…

Basement.

It's not dry, but there's no standing water and no weird smell.

The sizzling boiler sound is subtle.

The quiet and easy-to-use Sky Island boiler from Hotania boils water into steam, which is heated throughout the office through brass pipes in the walls. And the three-story soundproof room from Carlosadele's latest black technology can't be heard even if mourning music is played inside.

"It's hot."

Melina fanned the wind.

“…”

Belen's expression relaxed. She turned her head sideways and nodded:

"Well, it's a little hot, it seems that it's really good here, the work attitude and results of the construction team are still worth affirming, I went to sign the contract."

"Oh. Remember to bring me some juice back. ”

"No, slacker, go yourself."

Melina blinked, and her hands were outstretched:

"Money."

“…”

Realizing that 'this woman is becoming more and more brazen,' Belen took out a gold leu from his pocket...... Then he thought about it, exchanged it for five bronze lei, and put it in Melina's palm.

"Eh~" Melina dragged out a long voice.

"The purchase price is what I watched, 5 copper is enough for you to buy a drink."

"Stingy."

"Remember to give me back tomorrow?"

Melina covered her ears with her hands and walked out slowly.

…

…

In front of the convenience store.

A magic factor lamp is being arranged at the door, a low-distribution lamp that is realized by the exchange of electrical energy through magic factors.

It's kind of like a gaslight.

In order to use it, you must fill it with a long-spouted jar similar to an oil can, and then inject it into the lamp to achieve comfortable lighting. Due to the manipulation of the magic factor, it is difficult for ordinary people to do it, so the profession of lamplighter is also rounded up by collectors.

It's raining, it's almost evening, and it's the last time before Banshee Street closes.

The gatherers are speeding up their pace of lighting.

Bang bang bang.

The banshee by the side comes.

Bang bang bang.

The banshee around goes.

“…”

No one notices themselves.

Melina also wanted to be like Sonia, meeting her own fans, who were pleasantly surprised, 'You're little Sonia', and then said, 'Can I treat you to a pudding, so happy, I actually met the wild little Sonia'.

Her brow furrowed.

A strong male voice came from behind him:

"Isn't this Melina?"

She turned around and saw Mr. William taking the yellow-haired man of Isttalid's two best friends, dressed in lamplighter costumes, grinning and holding a jar of magic factors in one hand and grilled squid in the other.

"What a coincidence, we're lighting up the area."

Mr. William smiled heartily:

"The Banshee's invention is truly remarkable! Actually add such a little thing, this light can be on all night, which makes me a little suspicious, is this thing the sun, hahaha! ”

You're right... This is a by-product of the artificial sun, and the energy design has been carried out to limit the output, and if it is fully liberated, a jar of magic factor can create a terrifying bright light that can pierce people's eyes and last for 30 days...... Melina raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Thank you, Mr. William."

"Oh, that's so polite and polite, little Melina." William's eyes narrowed with laughter.

The yellow-haired brother of Istalid climbed the street lamp, picked up the jar and poured the magic factor into it, and when he came down, he complained:

"William, aren't you tired at all, okay, it's all buddies who climbed up and poured it!"

"It's tiring to carry."

"What kind of bastard do men say, you should work hard when it's time to work!"

Huang Mao, whose real name is Miles, said.

The temperament of a horse hunter and a thug in him seems to have been washed away a lot by labor.

Very good, very good.

Labor turns ghosts into people.

"So go back and take one tonight?" William defiantly.

"Clockwork Cat Brew, you're in for a treat?" Miles smiled arrogantly.

"I'll invite you, I'm afraid, I won't dare to come." William's expression was visibly weak.

It seems that Miles didn't expect this person to agree, and he also showed a weak expression.

The Clockwork Cat Special Brew is already what the locals call 'the hammer that makes people drunk to death'. If Sonia were here, maybe she'd join in the fun, but what about Maria? It should be very gentle to give a step down, right?

Lao Ma is still gentle.

Melina nodded:

"I don't think you two are going to count it? Although I am a man, I am afraid that the wine made by such a cute cat dumpling is not a big deal. ”

The small arch is on fire, hehe.

"How can we be afraid of a clockwork cat!"

"yes, yes, those furry guys, aren't they big puppets? Have you ever seen a man afraid of a puppet! ”

"Oh, so let's just say, it's like a banshee or something, she doesn't understand us manhood at all!"

Sorry, sorry, if we banshees were to 'pull it up',... Melina decided not to tell her jokes, because the fire had already arched to ...... She saw the clockwork cat that had just heard the two men say and ran over in a huff.

She waved her hand:

"Good luck then?"

Miles' legs are shaking:

"Dude wasn't afraid!"

William also saw the clockwork cats, and for a moment the tower-like man seemed to be 114514 years old and withered.

Before being arched away by The Clockwork Cat, he waved Melina and gave her a thumbs up:

"I heard you're about to make your debut? Come on, little Melina, you're half a Hamlet, aren't you? ”

Melina suddenly put on a disgusted face, and said in a tone of 'stinky outsiders still want to say that I am you outsiders':

"No, I'm from Milas White (the royal capital of Milansil, that is, the royal capital of the Empire)."

"But thank you for your support, I haven't debuted yet, and I don't have popularity, I'm just a newcomer on this path."

A smile appeared on William's face, he shook his head, and then frowned together, and smiled seriously:

"You have your advantage, little Melina, if you have the power to destroy the world, you will have the sound of a tsunami of 'so cute' even when you sneeze, if you easily kill a high-level dragon, you will be boasted as 'super cute' even if you are lazy and fall asleep at work, you have appearance and strength, isn't this a rising star? Do your best, little Melina. ”

“… Well. ”

Myers also said:

"That's it, if you can make me like you, buddy can be a man, strong, talented and beautiful, grass, we can only be reduced to being caught by a clockwork cat and drinking!"

"Meow!" The clockwork cats have already poured in, and they are puffing up the cat-cat towers on the heads of the two lamp-lit people... Cat on cat on cat.

“… Well. ”

Melina walked into the convenience store and took down two bottles of drinks on top of the Victorian-style wooden shelves.

…

…

In the office.

Belen was studying the contract when his eyes were suddenly filled with a small glass bottle of Coke, followed by Melina's languid inorganic tone:

"Here you go."

"Huh?"

Belen looked up and blinked suspiciously:

"You seem to be in a better mood?"

"Delusion."

"Coke?"

"Look at you pitiful, buy it for you, use your money."

Belen pursed her lips and thought, 'This woman is so awkward.'"
