The oath-taking ceremony was brief, like an evening breeze blowing by. Ruiji knows very well that her current self has a special identity compared to the past.

"Congratulations on becoming my Feather."

The snowy owl clapped at them, then snapped its fingers at the air behind them.

The side door of the hall opened, and two expressionless maid witches walked in with a small cart for delivering food, one on which was a bottle of Cook Champagne and three goblets.

"This Krug Grand Cuvée champagne was made in 1844 from the world-famous Champagne Château Krug in France. Champagne is one of the three most famous wine regions in France, and you should know something about it. ”

"Actually, I don't know much about wine."

Feng Buyue took the glass of champagne, which contained one-third of the volume of the pale golden liquor, with fine bubbles, from which you could distinguish hazelnuts, yeast, orange peel cherries and subtle honey aromas, the taste was refreshing and intense, worthy of its price and brand.

This kind of wine is indeed very rare, and it is rarely seen at large family banquets, except for the reception of dignitaries or family banquets.

Ruiji couldn't even reach the level of "not knowing much", so he just poured wine down his throat.

Inviting other witches to drink is a gesture of friendship and proof of the Snowy Owl's recognition of their identity. The Snowy Owl seemed to be in a good mood, and it was a good time to ask her about the magic of the Return Gate.

"Miss Snowowl, I have something I want to know from you."

"Miss Sakuma doesn't have to be so reserved. Every snowy owl cherishes their feathers and is happy to share information with them. ”

"Return Gate Magic, do you have any clues about it?"

"The magic you're talking about is so rare that it took me a bit of work to get it. It is worthy of Miss Sakuma, with a unique vision. Do you have an urgent need for it? ”

"I just heard about its usefulness from other people and wanted to ask where I could buy it. Fighting against strange talks, when you can't beat it, you will inevitably retreat strategically, and this magic is just enough to save my sister and me from being injured. ”

The snowy owl's tone was calm and confident, and there was definitely some clue on hand.

Precious clues need to be exchanged for other costs, and the witches who can gain a foothold in Flotin are essentially businessmen, and there is no need to talk about any projects other than interests with businessmen.

"What can I do for you in exchange for clues to Return the Gate Magic?"

Straight to the point, hit the nail on the head.

"Sakuma-san, I see what you mean. Go home and rest for two days first, and don't think about anything. Next, I will arrange a new induction task for you, in the process of the task, it is your freedom to get anything from the target person, I and the club will not interfere, how much benefit you can get depends on your ability. ”

"Okay. How will we get in touch then? ”

"There will be a special 'courier' who will deliver Flotin's letter to you, informing you of the location and details of the mission. Still have questions? I have some chores to do at the clubhouse today, and I have to go there right away. ”

"Nope."

"Cheers to us in the future."

The snowy owl touches Ruiji's with his own wine glass, and then touches his glass with Feng Buyue once. The remaining half of the Krug Grand Cuvée was divided equally between the two feathers, and the owner of the office left in a hurry.

When the last drop of wine in the bottle was dry, Ruiji glanced at the steam mechanical floor clock on the ground, it was almost half past ten in the evening, and it was still early. Many witches' nightlife has just begun, and she doesn't know what to do next.

The living habits of ordinary human beings, even after crossing over, have a residual effect on her, as soon as half past ten in the evening arrives, the biological clock will automatically remind the brain that it is time to rest, and it is forbidden to wander around the street.

She is not as amusing as the housekeeper, and she has a beautiful confidante in Flotin, who has a lot to look forward to every week.

I thought that the snow owl would immediately issue a task to let the new Ling Yu be tested, but it turned out that he was told to go home and rest for two days, which was very visual of a corporate job fair.

Generally, let go home and wait for news, that is, there is no news. The snowy owl confiscated the token, and the induction ceremony was successfully completed, and there will be no uncertainties after that.

The way things are going

Ruiji was cranky again, and the wine glass in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"What are you thinking?"

Warm air flowed through her earlobes, and a bony hand grabbed the crumbling glass for her and put it back on the table.

"Isn't it a pleasure to be the feather of the snow owl?"

"It's fun."

"Then why are you worried? I've been wandering since I drank that cup, and I have to wonder if you're being violated by someone behind your back. ”

"I ...... I'm worried about the final exams for the next semester. ”

"The final exam, sure enough, the witch of Japan also suffers from its oppression, and it is the biggest nightmare for every witch who is still in school at the end of each school year."

While the final exam was just an excuse for Ryji to hide her embarrassment, what really made her distracted was boredom.

I don't know how to spend the long night. The witches who have girlfriends are deeply exchanging biological knowledge about the origin and continuation of the witch race, and further discussing how to increase the local air temperature and humidity, and her sister Jingliu also has good friends to play with, and she is an empty nest witch, and the task of the snow owl has not been sent.

It seems that in addition to secretly rolling up at home behind the back of other witch classmates, learning a few more magics, and making a splash in the final exam, she can't find a better coping strategy.

Volumes, can be rolled.

Feng Bu has become numb to the word exam.

"Our Chinese school system is different from Japan, there are mid-term and final exams every semester, and there are additional monthly exams in the months when there are no big exams, and on the eve of the exams, the school library is full of witches, and witches who usually never go to the library will also occupy seats. Most of them are usually bastards, only working hard at critical moments, and they are cramming for a while. ”

"I know that feeling."

Ruiji had been like that in her previous life, and she knew too well what it was like on the eve of her final exams. The witch world line also has a criminal examination system.,Witches still can't escape the fate of involution.,No matter how strong the magic is, you have to take the exam.,If you can't pass the test, you won't get all kinds of certificates.。

I suddenly felt a balance in my heart.

"I heard that Chinese schools have final exams at the end of June, and the holidays from early July to early September, why do you still have the heart to come to Japan to play with Flotin?"

"I've already reviewed it."

The pink-haired witch walks to the elevator, her back is dashing like an ancient Japanese ronin witch.

"The school exam didn't bother me. I'm afraid the only project that can give me a sense of urgency in the near future is the Olympic Alchemy Competition. I signed up for the event in Japan and stayed in Japan for the rest of the summer. It takes a lot of money to play alchemy, and my family will definitely not support me, so I have to come to Flotin to make money. ”

"Awesome...... I didn't even make half of the revision progress. My teacher stuffed me with a copy of the Alchemy Olympiad document and encouraged me to sign up, but I had to refuse for the sake of the sinful final exam. Moreover, you also know my family background, that poor deposit can't afford to play alchemy at all, so I have to give up. ”

The desire to study hard is part of the reason, and the most fatal weakness is the lack of money.

Excellent alchemists are fed with expensive alchemy materials, and witches who can become excellent alchemists are generally very wealthy in their families, or they marry a rich witch as a wife, or they have found a particularly rich girlfriend.

Money is an eternal topic in the world of witches.

"Don't give up. The Olympic Alchemy Competition is divided into single events, double events and team events, we can sign up for double events, you follow me in the team, and the top three have junior alchemist qualification certificates. This certificate is valid all over the world, regardless of the region in which it is obtained. ”

Feng Buyue took out an old newspaper from the storage space, flipped to the back section, and found a solicitation advertisement in a very inconspicuous corner in the lower right corner.

"There are often witches who advertise in the newspaper for the rental of alchemist licenses, and we can rent them the qualifications to earn rent by renting them. There is also a way to use your own alchemist qualification certificate to help witches who do not have qualification certificates to purchase rare materials.

The Material Management Laws of various countries clearly stipulate that certain materials can only be purchased by alchemists and qualified physicians. Running errands for other witches who need specific materials is lucrative, and the witches I know do this privately. ”

"This is the legendary gray income?"

"Although the career section of the World Witch Code stipulates that you can't steal other people's professional certificates for use, it doesn't stipulate that the certificate can't be lent to other witches, or use your own certificate to bring convenience to other witches."

"You've figured out all the loopholes in the Witch's Codex."

Ruiji had to sigh once again at the whimsy of the Chinese witch. Although the reverse deduction method is not a clever way of thinking that should be greatly praised, there should not be many high school witches who dare to do so.

Every time I am with Feng Buyue, there is always a bit of a thrilling experience, which makes the witch's life less boring.

Feng Buyue smiled and did not deny it.

"In fact, we are now stepping on the gray area of this world, Flotin's income in various industries is gray income, which is not legal, and no one sanctions it because it is independent of countries. We should use Ling Yu's identity to expand our network, improve our ability to attract money as much as possible, and get rid of the life plagued by lack of funds as soon as possible. ”

"Then ...... Please advise."

The two held hands together.

What was just discussed intrigued by Riji, who also had a little desire for an alchemist's credential. Materials are needed for exorcism at home shrines and after-school magic exercises, and it is definitely beneficial and harmless to find a way to take a certificate, and you can also earn some extra income.

As long as it does not affect daily life, gray income can also be earned with peace of mind.

"What can I do to find a balance between my studies and my alchemical studies? It's hard to make the most of every minute of your time. ”

"Simple, I will make a strong tutoring plan for you during the summer vacation, alchemy and basic magic will be done at one time, and in return, you will provide me with a place to live and three meals a day, and I will pay for the meals."

"If you're not worried about going wrong with two strange witches...... My sister and I are the only two people at home. ”

The three days and the moon are strange talks, and strange talks should not be considered people.

"There's nothing to worry about, it's not like we haven't slept together, we've bathed in the same hot pool, and nothing happened. Miss Sakuma is one of the few righteous gentlemen I have ever met, who doesn't think badly about the witches I just met, and is obsessed with her studies and career, which is worth learning from other witches. ”

"I'm glad you think so."

There is a certain deviation between the unread evaluation and the facts, and after consideration, Ruiji decided not to correct it for the time being. A witch who has no lust for other witches and only wants to make money is not a good witch?

There's still a lot of time left tonight, and Ritch plans to follow her innermost urge to learn, and squander her excess energy and passion in the brick magic book.

If you don't study well now, you can only be a gray witch in the future, and the previous tragedies can't be repeated.

"It's not too early, I'm ready to go home. Is it convenient for Miss to leave me a contact information? In the future, it is indispensable to communicate with you online, that is, ...... There is no other meaning to explore the learning and task aspects. ”

"Convenient. Last time I wanted to ask you in the strange talk, I was worried that you would be taken as a pick-up maniac, so I was embarrassed to speak. ”

Feng Buyue took out a brand-new kimchi phone, exchanged email accounts and Line accounts with Ruiji, as well as infrequently used ins and Twitter.

"I'm going to Flotin's black market tonight to collect some alchemy materials, so I'm going to be out of company for the time being. I'm very happy to see you again tonight, and I hope to see you more in the future. ”

The witch mounted her motorized broomstick and galloped away with the roar of a motor. Riki couldn't see the model of the broom clearly, and in the field of motorized brooms, he was like a baby at a loss.

A new message popped up on her phone, and she sent her a panda emoji when she couldn't read it.

It's not a girl, and it's not cute.

"This guy seems to be a social cow too."

She realized it and savored the last sentence.

- I'm very happy to see you again tonight, and I hope to see you more in the future.

One witch said to another that she wanted to see each other often, and basically she would think about friendship or more. Friendship above is not necessarily love, maybe it is a particularly good friendship.

Ruiji never believed in love at first sight, and any act of love at first sight was a hooligan, not as good as falling in love over time.

Looking at the emoji that had just been sent on the phone screen, the corners of his mouth curved into a graceful arc.

[When the time comes, let's go to Osaka to see the summer god festival? 】

[No problem.] But first, you'll have to conquer the Olympic Alchemy Contest. You're my favorite partner, and you're definitely not going to be stumped by the title of the Alchemy Contest, right? 】

[I try my best. 】

……

After exchanging details about the alchemy contest for a while, Ruiji packed another 20 skewers at a stall selling Kraken meat and took them home for supper, before he was satisfied with riding a broom home.

Tonight's evening is cosy and cozy.
