112. The first day of summer vacation
July 15th is the date that countless Japanese school witches have been looking forward to. On this day, they ushered in a long summer vacation that lasted for a month and a half, during which they did not have to get up early to go to school every day, slept until they woke up naturally, and they could also take the opportunity to work in the summer to earn some pocket money.
Rydge waited at home for more than half a month, but still couldn't wait for the contact of the snow owl and the letter with the content of the mission, and she didn't even see the shadow of the messenger, so that she almost lost her memory and thought what happened in Flotin's steam tower as a dream caused by hysteria.
Only the quietly sleeping token Snowy Owl in her pocket tried to remind her that what had happened before was real, and there was no need to be nervous. The snowy owl's cold eyes stared at her, as if it had the magic to see everything.
From the night she took the oath to the snow owl until July 15, the summer vacation, a total of two and a half weeks, Ruiji developed a relatively stable and conscious study plan.
Every night when Jingliu goes out to work or is busy with club activities, he eats magic books at home.
"The Witch Must Learn Level 2 Spells" became thinner and thinner, and finally finished gnawing on the last day of June, officially entering the learning stage of "The Witch Must Learn Level 3 Spells", and the "Elimination Spells" that I borrowed from Miss Fujinaga before alternately studied, and my life changed from emptiness to fulfillment.
The body is infused with a steady stream of knowledge, blank notebooks are filled with sentences in English, French and Latin, and brand new books leave traces of a lot of flipping.
Riji is very satisfied with her current life, if only she could have more money in her pocket.
Mr. Iwai on the podium was enthusiastically summarizing the semester, and the purple bruises and red marks on his neck appeared between the gaps in his robe and hair, with a comfortable expression of a long drought and rain.
As for what happened last night, Ritch could guess on her toes.
"Please pay attention to your personal safety during the summer vacation, contact the teacher in time if you have anything, remember to complete the holiday homework of each subject on time, and don't forget the holiday practice report, the above. Enjoy your sophomore summer vacation and adjourn. ”
The teacher's summary had just ended, and with one foot in the classroom, the students in the audience began to talk about their summer vacation plans as if they had been unmuted magic.
The witches in Class D don't love learning that much, and the witches who like to study during the holidays are less than one-third of the class size, and Ruiji thinks that she is caught between loving learning and not loving, and she is so-so.
The unreadable Line message came ten minutes ago.
[The final exam results are out, and I am still the first in the class, and I lost to a witch in the ordinary class in the grade ranking, and I am in second place, and I have to work harder next time. 】
Rij's fingers danced happily on the phone screen.
[I have reason to suspect that you are in Versailles. So the question arises, when do we start holiday tuition and alchemy practice? The snowy owl's mission is not yet here. 】
The other end immediately shows "The other party is typing".
[Tonight.] I'm on my way to Japan, and I'm only in Korea now, so I'm going to Gyeonggi-do to buy Korean rice cakes and fried chicken. 】
[Thank you, I'm just tired of eating Japanese-style fried chicken.] 】
[Don't forget to bring your fried chicken when you go to court.] 】
……
After Flotin met, the daily exchange of messages with Feng Bu became a part of Rydge's daily routine, gossiping and asking about magic, and sometimes communicating about upcoming Olympic alchemy competitions.
Feng Buyu looks serious, and in the process of chatting, he shows a witty and funny side from time to time, but it is better to communicate than Miss Fujinaga, who has a sad face all day long and abides by dogma.
Fujinaga's topics are highly concentrated in the area of studies and family affairs, and those topics happen to be the kind of topics that Riki is not good at dealing with, and the topics that are not read seem to be very appetizing in comparison.
The image of her smirking at the screen of her phone was seen by the attendant at the table next to her. The curiosity of this friend was immediately aroused, and he was eager to find out.
"Which wild witch took Miss Sakuma's soul away? I've never seen you smile so ...... Uh, nasty. ”
Ryji put the lock screen of her phone back in her robe pocket, and then raised her head and chest.
"I met in the last regional weird talk, a very funny Chinese witch, I met her on the street of Japan half a month ago, and by the way, I exchanged contact information, and made an appointment to go to the Chunjiutang bookstore together during the summer vacation to find some books to read."
It is inconvenient to tell the marshal and my wife about participating in the Olympic Alchemy Competition, because I am worried that they will accidentally reveal it to Shizuru and cause trouble. First of all, Shizuru will not agree with her to play the alchemy of spending money, and secondly, she will focus on asking about the channels of making money, and she will not give up until she gets an answer.
There is no benefit to lying in front of Shizuryu, you can only avoid lying and try to hide it from her at the same time. When the position of the snow owl is stable and everything is ready, when the time is ripe, I will slowly explain to her and ask for forgiveness.
"Something is wrong, very wrong."
After packing up her vacation homework and books, my wife clasped her hands on her chest and stared at her with scrutinizing eyes.
"You've changed a lot lately, not only commuting on time, listening carefully to classes and taking notes every day, going to the office after class to ask questions to the teacher, handing in your homework on time, and even completing the approach questionnaire. I'm really curious about why these changes are happening. ”
"Because ......"
The reason is not easy to find, and Ruiji didn't expect it at once.
"It must be because Sakuma wants to go on to school."
The long, charred-haired witch blinked her golden eyes and put down her standing spell book.
"When we were in the first year, we agreed to go on to higher education together and then enter the university together, so that no one could fall behind and become a repeater. My half-sister also started to study hard, and her girlfriend told her that she would break up if she couldn't get into Tokyo Witch University after graduation. Everyone has a reason to work hard, and you should take the time to think about the future, my wife. ”
The priest skillfully shifted the topic to my wife and quietly glanced at Riji.
- How's it going, I'm amazing, right?
Ricky gave her a thumbs up.
At the end of the class meeting, there were fewer and fewer witches left in the classroom, and one of the witches who were dating gradually became bolder. There is no monitoring in the classroom, and you are free to do whatever you want, and there are a few witches next to you who are watching the excitement and coax one of the witches to "kiss it".
The witch's joys and sorrows were not the same, and Reji only thought they were noisy, packed up her books and holiday homework, and left the classroom without looking back, too lazy to reverie what the two classmates sitting at the front table had done.
That scene has been tasted too much in Japanese witch love movies, and she is not interested in other people's love.
There's still a lot to do tonight, and I can't rest yet.
The message of not reading the seal popped up, and two photos of the Waseda Witch High School gate were also sent.
[When I arrived, at the gate of your school, I also brought a large portion of Korean rice cakes and fried chicken platter. 】
[I'll be right away, I'll say goodbye to my two friends first. 】
"The Chinese witch was waiting for me at the school gate and slipped away first. When I met Fujinaga on the way, I helped me say hello to her, and she definitely hasn't gone back yet. ”
Without waiting for my wife and the dormitory attendant to complain that she had forgotten her friends, Raiji trotted out of the classroom, picked up the Aussie Star broom from the locker on the first floor, changed into outdoor shoes, and flew to the school gate at full speed.
It's rude to make other witches wait for a long time, and it will make you look very tasteless.
At a glance, Ruiji saw that he was riding a broom and eating fried chicken in the shade of a tree. She didn't have a school uniform, and her formal white shirt, dark blue tie, and black pleated skirt stood out among a group of school witches.
Uniforms are the most direct way to distinguish students from different schools, and if Feng Buyue didn't appear in uniforms, Ruiji would be sure to find her among hundreds or thousands of witches.
With a special hair color and outstanding appearance, countless witches have been left behind at the starting line as early as possible.
"Good afternoon. Miss Reading, do you want to go to my house first or to the Chunjiutang bookstore? ”
"I want to settle my luggage, change my clothes, and take a look at the room I'm going to stay in. There aren't many opportunities to live at the shrine.,I started looking forward to it half a month ago.。 ”
"Then follow me first."
They kept a position at a distance, with Ritch leading the way.
The fried chicken carried in a crispy lunch box is topped with a sweet and sour reddish-brown Korean sweet sauce, and the salty and sweet flavors are perfectly blended to create a novel experience that is more appealing than regular fried chicken without dipping sauce.
Every time she sees Feng Buxuan, she is either eating, or on the way to eat, and has an obsession with food beyond common sense.
Waseda Witch High School and Sakuma Shrine are not far in a straight line, and you can reach it in five minutes by speeding up your flight. Today is the first day of summer vacation, the witches of major colleges and universities are pouring out, the airspace road conditions are not good, the floating traffic lights switch back and forth between red, yellow and green, and it takes twice as long to get home.
Two brooms landed in the middle of the empty courtyard, the gate outside closed, and the still stream had not returned.
Ruiji greeted Shizuru beforehand and told her that she had a witch girlfriend from China who was going to stay at home during the summer vacation. Shizuryu's first reaction was, "Sister, how can there be a foreign witch girlfriend in a house like you", and after a few days of hard work, he reluctantly believed that he had packed up the vacated guest room and arranged it into an environment where people could live.
The sealed room is next to Ruiji's, and the two rooms are separated by a corridor of less than ten meters, and the pool can be seen when the door is opened.
"What kind of witch is your sister?"
"Hmm...... She is very hard working and strict, and she has the final say in everything in this family. ”
"I was suppressed by my sister, you sister can't do it."
"After all, Sister Waste has survived to this day thanks to her capable sister, and the witches who have seen her are full of praise for her housekeeping ability. In short, don't try to challenge her authority, it will end badly. ”
"Understood."
Under the leadership of Ruiji, Feng Buyue went to the cleaned guest room and unloaded a large pile of luggage from the storage space.
A lot in the real sense, more than a few clothes, a few books. There was a whole mahogany desk, a stack of alchemical books, more than twenty by sight, a brass chest full of alchemical materials, a suitcase stuffed with clothes and daily necessities, a high-end silver crucible, and other miscellaneous things that could fill the desk, and even a quilt and pillow.
"You're here to move?"
Ryji is frightened by the belongings that can't be read. Even if you are a witch who travels, it is impossible to bring so many things at one time.
"Don't worry, every item here will come in handy. If you want me to pay the rent, it's not impossible, and my savings will be enough to cover my expenses in Japan. How much does it cost to rent a room at the shrine? ”
"No, I promised not to charge rent, and it would be too cheap to go back on my word at this time."
For a little money to destroy the good image established before, no matter how much money is spent, it can't be remedied.
"Thank you for your generosity, Miss Rydge."
Feng Buyue showed the items he brought one by one, and used movement magic to place them in a satisfactory position, and the room with a low table with only tatami mats was suddenly full of life, as if someone had lived here for a long time.
The existence of magic has made packing and moving things a very simple and trivial matter, causing moving companies to gradually retire from the environment, and witches who have opened moving companies or engaged in the industry in the market have switched careers to do logistics.
Witches who like to shop online are all over the world, although they don't need a moving company, and the express package always needs someone to handle it.
In a large pile of luggage, Ruiji also found several unopened packages of alchemical materials, each of which was larger than the size of a large box of 12 bottles of mineral water.
"Feeling...... It seems that there is a strange guest in the house. ”
After that, the next step is to prepare for the first pleasant night of the summer vacation. An energetic witch will not lie motionless at home as soon as she has a holiday.
"I went back to my room to change my clothes, and then I gathered in the courtyard. My sister may be back late tonight and we have to eat out. ”
"Everything is under your command."
Feng Buyue's expression was very playful, and he opened the black roller suitcase brought from China. The clothes inside were tucked into a mess, like a dustbin discarded from rags, contrasting with the neatly organized bookshelves.
Finding clothes from her suitcase was a hassle, and she randomly pulled out two pieces to match them to make them look in line with the holiday vibe.
Cropped casual pants that don't show a bit of leg skin and only show the arms, last year's Olympic Alchemy Championship-themed white short-sleeved shirt is as simple and light as possible to deal with some situations that need to run in time.
The advantage of wearing long pants and riding a broom is that she doesn't worry about walking away, and she doesn't like to wear safety pants very much, and the school stipulates that she must wear a uniform with a skirt on school days, so she can only wear it hard.
Although the skirt is good, I don't think so much when I wear it on myself, I just think it's troublesome.
The robe has also been replaced with a lighter and more breathable summer model, which automatically lowers the wearer's body temperature when the surrounding temperature is too high, creating a relatively comfortable environment.
Makeup is impossible to make, not only is it a waste of time, but sweating is also easy to make the makeup spent.
Ruiji is also dressed relatively casually, revealing shorts that show her full legs and an old T-shirt from the past. The hem of the T-shirt almost covers the leg of the shorts, and it looks like there is no ......
I don't dare to say that word if I don't read it. As long as the brain thinks, the mind will definitely become very active, and the divergence of thinking will lead to the imagination.
Now is not the time to think about it.
