110. Oath of allegiance

Seal and not read.

Ruiji carefully tasted the name, and realized that "Yue" is the Chinese homonym for "reading", and the Japanese pronunciation of the moon "tsuki" is incompatible with the Chinese eight poles.

Although the kana is very common, the real name is quite nice. Why don't you call it unhappy? Displeasure is more pleasant than not reading.

"Miss Can't Read It...... Hello, my name is Mizuki Sakuma. ”

After knowing their real names, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two became restrained. I don't pay so much attention to etiquette, and I like to get along freely.

"Call each other by name. In the future, I'll call you Rij, you can tell me not to read, or you prefer a more concise title. The honorifics of your Japanese witches hurt my head and I can't stand it. ”

Actually, I can't stand it either, Ruiji thought to herself.

"If you don't mind, I'll be happy to call you by your name. Cheers to our goodbye. ”

"Cheers."

Feng Buyue raised the glass full of wine, and held it together with Ruiji, making a "clang" sound. Ruiji likes the atmosphere of getting along with Feng Buyue, relaxed and happy, and has a very special sense of security.

The behavior of this Chinese witch seems to be out of line and far from common sense, but every step of the move is under control, and her calm attitude makes Ruiji envious.

After two glasses of wine, Ruiji's cheeks began to burn. Consuming a small amount of alcohol will not make her drunk, but will make her more clear-headed.

"Miss Don't read - that's fine, right?"

"Yes. Miss Rydy, why are you here in Flotin tonight? From my point of view, you don't look like a witch who would come to such a mixed place to have fun. ”

"It's a long story."

Ruiji glanced around the tavern, pondered for a moment, and pulled out the token of the snowy owl from his bosom. She had a hunch that this matter could communicate with the omnipotent Feng Buyue.

"I came to find the boss of the Kingdom of Heaven, and this is a token she gave me. The Kingdom of Heaven is the high-end clubhouse on that floating island, and it is outrageously luxurious. ”

She pointed out the tavern window, just in time to see a corner of the large sky island floating in the sky. Bright lights leaked through the cracks in the metal walls, dancing between the branches and leaves of the trees, casting mottled reflections on the ground.

It is the highest place in the whole of Flotin, a well-deserved kingdom of heaven in the hearts of witches.

"I have to say that we have a lot in common. Miss Rydy, I have come to Flotin tonight for the same reason as you. ”

Feng Buyue reached into his white shirt and pulled out a coin that emitted a silver cold light from the middle of the deep career line. The size of the coin is much larger than a regular coin, slightly smaller than a macaron cookie, and it has a snowy owl pattern on the obverse and a thumbnail of Flotin on the reverse.

An equally brand new snowy owl coin.

"Cool."

Rydge couldn't help but whistle twice.

In this land with no sense of belonging and drunken money, the probability of meeting a witch who is familiar with him and is also a reserve of Snow Owl Lingyu is lower than winning the lottery.

There was a tingling throbbing in the heart, and the gentle air flow brushed the cheeks and tugged at the heartstrings.

The sense of belonging is a very abstract emotion, looking at the side face that is not readable, and the exact same snowy owl coin in her hand, Ruiji has a small excitement and anticipation in her heart.

Does the common denominator of one in a million mean that they can still fight side by side in the future?

"When were you invited by her?"

Flipping through the menu, my eyes wandered around the spirits and staples.

"A day ago."

"You got the idea pretty fast. I've been thinking about it for almost two months, and before I can enter the regional weirdness of Rutsuki Station, Snowy Owl sends someone to come to her door, hoping that I will be her feather. After thinking about it, there was no better choice than to promise her. ”

"For two months, the patience of the snowy owl is really not ordinarily strong."

"She's a very fiery witch, especially with her attitude of looking down on everything. On the other hand, I want to be in power like her and take control of my own destiny. ”

The witch rubbed the silver snowy owl coin with her slender knuckles and made a grand wish for it.

"Miss Rij, what is your reason? Is it easy to share the reason for becoming a snowy owl feather? ”

The golden eyes are flowing, and the clear whirlpool is soul-stirring, with its own suction. The tavern was dimly lit, and the aroma of wine and food flowed and spread in the spaces between the seats.

Ratchet was bound by the golden swirl, as if by immobilizing her body.

"Miss Rij?"

"Ah...... I'm sorry, I'm distracted. ”

Repeating the question again, Ruiji didn't dare to distract himself this time, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the other side.

"The reason for becoming a snowy owl is nothing more than to make money. A witch like me has not yet come out of the walls of school, and it is difficult to find a high-paying job. You know, students working as temporary workers are always deducted from their wages by cunning capitalists for the same or even more labor. The money I get is less than half that of a regular worker. ”

"Money is a good thing."

"With money, my sister doesn't have to work every day to make money. She was injured by Strange Talk last night, but fortunately, the police came in time to let the members of the Strange Talk Prevention and Countermeasures Headquarters take over the scene, and asked the Doctor Witch to heal her injuries, otherwise I wouldn't be in the mood to come to the tavern to drink. ”

"Sister...... It feels good. I don't have any sisters, and there are only a few sisters in the family who don't look down on me very much. ”

The envy was overflowing, and when Feng Buyue thought of his sister who came to Japan together this time, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. That sister is an excellent witch, undeniable, but she doesn't dare to compliment her character, and she is an out-and-out rotten person.

You can't complain at home, and you will be severely reprimanded by your paternal mother. There is no one to talk to, and the maid witches will turn their heads and tell the person who can punish her.

She really hates her sister, she hates it so much.

The alcohol made the desire to talk ferment sharply, and Feng Buyu finally couldn't help but complain to the witch beside him: "Miss Ruiji, I've been thinking about one thing for the past few days, vacillating, and it's hard to choose between the two options. I happen to be here, and I would like to ask you to give me some advice. ”

"Please."

"It all started with my bastard sister."

In the face of a witch who has nothing to do with the family, the words that cannot be read seem wild and uninhibited, and there is a sense of unpolished primitiveness.

"My sister has a marriage contract with the daughter of a family of witches in Tokyo, and both parties are very optimistic about the marriage. I have seen that girl, with a very mature personality and a very beautiful personality, even in the face of a daughter like me, who is not favored and has no sense of existence in the family, she can be treated as equals, and let the maid of the family treat her well.

Such a good girl, marrying my selfish and indifferent sister, the rest of her life will be a nightmare. ”

The more he talked, the more depressed he became, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered two more glasses of Polish distilled vodka, which is known as the "water of life". This vodka is so high that the average witch would not dare to take it lightly.

Piecing together the information obtained, Ruiji immediately made up some very royal plots. In a witch family ethics drama, the heroine falls in love with her sister's fiancΓ©e or something, which seems to be very exciting.

"Do you have a crush on your sister's betrothed partner?"

"It's not so exaggerated, it's more regrettable. As a witch, I have a strong pity for my sister's marriage partner, after all, she wants to marry such a bad scumbag. ”

"How many scumbags?"

"Treat marriage as a transaction, and treat the marriage partner as an object, the purpose is to continue your 'excellent bloodline' and obtain financial support from your wife's family. My sister also once had a witch who loved her unforgettable, and the two gave birth to a little witch. The family did not support her to intermarry with a witch from a poor family, and in the end, her sister did not want to be kicked out of the family, lost the opportunity to compete for the position of heir, buried her love with her own hands, bought airship tickets to send each other and her daughter away, and became a demon who only wanted to make money.

Our family will not limit the heirs, but will only let the witches who have achieved the most achievements, make the most money, and can make the most name for the family will inherit them, even people like me have a chance. ”

"Sounds like it's starting to get a headache."

Ryji pressed her hand on her throbbing temples and wrote the words Italian basil mammoth's spaghetti and dragon's blood grape juice on the order list. When you come to a Mediterranean restaurant, you should try a little regional food, and the stranger the name, the more attractive it is.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two empty wine glasses left in his hand. Ruiji didn't stop her from continuing to drink, and the person didn't blush or pant for breath, which proved that she could come again.

The witch who can't put down two glasses of water of life is quite explosive in Japanese nightclubs.

"What advice can I give you?"

"Just tell me if I'm right."

"Okay......

"My idea was simple and rude - to remind the witch who was going to marry my sister, and tell her that my sister was still entangled with the other witches in private, saving a lost lamb."

"Will you be beaten to death by the elders of the family if you destroy the family marriage?"

"It will definitely be discovered, so I have to hide my merit and fame and find a way to accomplish everything in secret."

"What's your reason for doing this?"

Riji asked, pressing her temples that continued to swell.

Every time she heard the topic from the big family, she felt dizzy in her head, and suddenly felt that she was very happy to live in an ordinary witch family, and there were few things to worry about.

"There is no specific reason. If I had a hard reason, I saw myself in her. We are all young birds trapped in family cages, eager to fly. ”

Feng Buyue's smile was a little miserable.

The conversation came to an abrupt end, interrupted by the witch who delivered the food.

"Two young ladies, this is the Italian basil mammoth sauce pasta, dragon's blood grape juice and tuna sandwich lemon pie you ordered."

The clerk witch, who was a little scantily dressed, put down the freshly prepared meal, showed a smile that was more standard than that of a flight attendant, ticked the box behind the order list, and when she bent over, the female advantage shook Ruiji dizzy.

When she was full, she wrote a neat line of French on a napkin with a quill.

- Do whatever you want, and be careful to get out of the way. You can confide in me about any troubles, and I will accept everything from you.

They looked at each other tacitly and smiled. There are some things that don't need to be said, a short word is enough. Ruiji's words of encouragement finally gave Feng Buyue a clear direction.

Witches sometimes really need other witches to push.

……

At 9:00 p.m., Rydge and Feng Buyue came to the steam tower northeast of Flotin with the token of the snow owl. The two bodyguards who led the way last time seemed to have expected them to come, and stood at the door early to answer them.

"The boss has been waiting for you in the office for a long time."

The bodyguard witch pushed open the first door of the steam tower, and went through the same process as last time to the 30th floor, and entered the office with a large area of viewing glass.

The snowy owl was still standing next to the viewing glass, and today it was dressed in a black robe, wearing a different ornate ring on its hand than last time, and its long light brown hair was tied up, revealing a small piece of snow-white neck.

"Welcome."

She heard footsteps and immediately walked to the center of the hall to greet her.

Ritch discovers that the mask on the snowy owl's face has also been replaced. Last time it was a black ghost face, this time it's cyan, and the style is the same weird. At the moment of looking at each other, the psychological construction that was finally completed was torn apart by Sen Bai's fangs, and it was vulnerable.

The feeling of oppression from those in power sends chills down Rieji's spine every time. Feng Buyue next to him smiled with excitement to the point of being a little crazy, looking forward to tonight's meeting.

There is a blood-boiling quality in the air about Floting, and she is now a gambler who dares to put down all her chips and join the gamble.

The snow owl was not surprised at all by the fact that the two witches knew each other in private. With the density of her intelligence network, it is normal to learn that the relationship between the two Ling Yu.

As long as the feathers do not secretly plan anything that harms their own interests, the snow owls can understand and tolerate everything. After her investigation, it was confirmed that the appearance of Ruiji and Feng Buyue at the same time was purely accidental, and the relationship was limited to acquaintance, and there was no sign of in-depth contact.

In this way, she does not have to stick to the principle that Ling Yu must not know each other.

"Ladies, are you ready?"

The two bodyguards retreated in recognition and closed the door, the voice of the snowy owl echoing through the empty hall.

"I'm ready."

Feng Buyue held his snowy owl coin between his fingers, flicked it into the air, and then caught it steadily, turning the snowy owl side towards him and placing it on his chest.

The coin toss is not meant to be pretty, and every Feather decides to be loyal to the Snowy Owl. The other Feathers had demonstrated to her the process of taking the oath of allegiance, just like she had just done before.

For tonight's oath, Feng Buyue practiced several times at home, so that the phase between the hand and the snowy owl coin was better.

"I, the witch can't read it, and I am willing to be loyal to the snow owl from now on, become the feather of the snow owl, and obey the dispatch."

"Very good, I appreciate Miss Feng's straightforwardness. So, what is Miss Sakuma's idea? ”

The snowy owl's gaze can't be avoided, and Ryji can only face it directly.

"I'm ready, too."

The purpose of coming to Floring tonight could not be more obvious, to give this woman the answer she wanted most. She tossed the snowy owl coin according to the process that had been done by Feng Buyue.

"I, the witch Sakuma Ruiji, am willing to be loyal to the snow owl from now on, to become the feather of the snow owl, and to obey the dispatch."
