Taking out 50,000 yen at once is definitely the most generous of Shizuru in all these years.

"Am I dreaming?"

Ruiji took a bite of the watermelon rind hard, and the jerky and hard taste did not seem to be fake.

Shizuru patted her on the shoulder.

"Wake up, it's true. Also, Senpai Fujinaga came here just now, and you weren't at home, so she left a cardboard box and went back. The cardboard box is placed in your room, remember to open it to see the contents inside. I'll go take a shower first, and you and the seniors will talk slowly. ”

Solve the remaining watermelons on the tray, Rui Ji and Feng Buyue went back to their respective rooms.

Walking into the room, Ruiji saw a brand-new large cardboard box on the tatami mat, with the Tsutaya Bookstore's logo, address, and phone number on the outside of the cardboard box. After a closer inspection, she found that the sealing tape showed no signs of scratching and additional new tape.

Could it be that Fujinaga bought it and didn't have time to read it, so he lent the book to himself first?

The eldest lady has a lot of opportunities, and her ambition is not in alchemy, and it is normal to pile up and eat ashes without turning the book after buying it.

Gently sliding the staff along the midline of the tape with cutting magic, the carton makes a subtle grinding sound. Lifting the closed cardboard, there is a list of bookstores on top, with the names of several books on the list.

In addition to "Alchemy in Ancient Egypt", which was borrowed by Ruiji, there are several additional books. "The Witch Must Learn Level 5 Spells", "Arabic Dictionary", "Annotation of Arabic Alchemy Terms" and "Alchemy Material Names Comparison and Full Collection", all of which are hardcover books that Ruiji felt expensive after being entangled, and was reluctant to pay for them, and there were a few thinner magic books at the bottom.

If you don't read it, it means that you don't have to buy these books, but it's better to buy them, and it's beneficial and harmless to learning alchemy. The information on the Internet is not always more complete than the books, and there are gaps and errors.

The texture of a paper book is more comfortable and irrefutable than flipping through the dense posts on a web page.

The bottom row of the list shows the total price of the books, which is 342,610 yen, which is equivalent to the monthly income of a witch who has just graduated from college and found a job.

"It's not by the way......"

Detailed purchase list, brand new date, purchase time is two hours in advance, each book has a plastic seal. There are all kinds of indications that the eldest lady stayed in the bookstore for a long time after getting out of cram school, and specially selected a large number of books related to the study of alchemy and sent them in person.

The top witches in classic film and television works are all solidified, arrogant and unapproachable, and like to sneer at the heroine who is poor in learning, giving all-round blows to satisfy their own distorted psychology of stepping on the weak, and building confidence and pleasure on the pain of other witches.

With such a noble and upright personality as Fujinaga, a rich witch who does not have a shelf is a rare creature.

Feelings of emotion and guilt surged in his chest at the same time, and the fierce collision led Ruiji to put down the "Alchemy of Ancient Egypt" in his hand and try to send a message to Fujinaga.

[Did you sleep?] 】

During the holidays, Fujinaga will study late, get up early in the morning, and sleep time should be between 3 o'clock and 6:30 in the morning, and the possibility that she suddenly goes to bed early cannot be ruled out.

A new message pops up on the phone screen after a minute.

[Reading a book.] Did you read the book that was delivered to your house last night? 】

[I'm sorry, I was busy with other things last night and couldn't wait for you at home in person.] 】

[I heard Shizuru say that there is a witch living in your house, who is a relative? 】

Fujinaga, who was knocking on his mobile phone, had a solemn expression. She was surrounded by an unprecedented sense of crisis, and for the first time, another witch approached Reji, and it was still a witch from another country.

It is said that green plums are invincible to the sky, and countless animation works are promoting the charm of the witch descending from the sky, and the young taming is only persecuted.

The British pop on the table was wonderfully written, but she didn't bother to read it, and her progress was stuck in the chapter she had read an hour earlier. This book tells the story of a witch who hesitates and does not dare to boldly pursue her beloved young tamer, and finally can only watch her beloved step into the marriage hall with other witches, and her heart is like ashes, and she runs away.

The plot is lingering and sympathetic, without too many knife plots, with delicate brushstrokes to depict the seemingly plain life between witches, but in fact the turbulent undercurrent, the length is long but not procrastinating, and the ending is an open-ended ending, the heroine steps on an airship to leave London, and meets a pretty woman on the deck.

Whether the heroine starts a new relationship with the witch she met depends on whether the author has the heart to continue writing.

In order to urge the author to update, Fujinaga only bought a few tons of blades yesterday and asked the housekeeper to anonymously mail them to the author's residence in London, expressing his eagerness to see the sequel.

She wasn't the first witch to do so, and there were thousands of witch readers who were unhappy with the ending of the story mailing the blades one after another, and all but the first one were copycats.

The plot of the film makes Fujinaga feel pessimistic, and she is afraid that she will also fall into the situation of the heroine.

[It's a friend.,The witch I met in the regional weird talk last time.】 】

When I saw the news, I chuckled in my heart.

The worst fears have finally happened, and the witch of unknown origin is likely to take away the people she cherishes. The engagement went well, and the betrothed and the two mothers were eager to finalize the "good thing" and wanted to schedule the engagement in the second half of the year.

She felt that her mental exhaustion was getting worse and worse, she opened the drawer with trembling hands, picked up the antidepressant potion from the corner of the drawer, and took out the vial containing the sea blue transparent potion next to her and placed it on the table.

The blue vial has a label written in Greek, which translates to "Potion of Dreams".

It was created by a Greek witch who lived on the island of Santorini and faced the Aegean Sea. Greek witches are naturally romantic, pursuing freedom and beauty, and the direction of research on potions is also biased towards the spiritual department. The Dream Elixir allows the user to fall asleep quickly and dream of the things that deepest in their hearts desires the most.

The dream I had at Ruiji's house was not a phenomenon caused by falling asleep naturally, and it was inseparable from the dream elixir.

Fujinaga uses a dropper to take a tube of the dose and drip it into the iced American dish at hand. The sweetness of the potion blends with the bitterness of the iced American, and the crystal blue floats on the surface of the coffee, like a rippling sea. She drank a whole bottle of antidepressant potion and then enjoyed the potion coffee.

Tonight was another great night.

[Good night. I've got all those books for you, and I hope to see one of you who has won the Olympic Alchemy Tournament. 】

After replying to the last message, Fujinaga lay on the bed, ending his painful wakefulness early.

The night was already dark, and Ruiji didn't want to continue to bother, so he concluded with "Good Night" and continued to use cutting magic to open the plastic seal of the new book and taste them one by one. The hardcover book, composed of high-quality printing paper and high-quality ink, exudes a charming light fragrance as it flips.

The scent holds up the reader's thoughts and thoughts, loading them into the vast sea of paper and words. The thirst for knowledge turns into an oar, driving the boat into the distance.

Fascinated by the alchemy written by the Egyptian witches, she wandered through the wonderful world of Arabic phrases, and when she looked up, the hour hand pointed to four o'clock. Reluctantly closed the cover, Ruiji turned off the light and got into the quilt, hugged and fell asleep in the form of a black cat for three days and months.

Today is a day of rest, and Ruiji slept until three o'clock in the morning. A matchmaker witch wearing the uniform of Sagawa Express Logistics rides a griffon, whose tail is followed by a container with wheels. The container is full of packages that will be delivered today, and one of them is going to be delivered to Sakuma Shrine.

The uniform of the Matchmaker Witch is very distinctive, and the iconic blue and white striped navy polo shirt makes the recipient feel the freshness of the oncoming face.

"Miss Mizuki Sakuma, here's your package."

"Here we are."

Reiki was practicing magic in the courtyard, and when she heard the witch's voice, she immediately tucked her staff into her belt and went to the door to receive the delivery. She doesn't have the impression of recent online shopping, and the thing may have been bought by Static Stream.

"Please sign here."

The witch points to the blank area that needs to be stamped or signed by the recipient, and Ruiji signs her name with a quill and glances at the face sheet attached to the outside of the cardboard box.

Whether the item will be sent as a book or in the same city.

"Thank you, hard work."

"You're welcome."

The busy distributor witch pulls up the box and flies away to make deliveries to other neighborhoods in Shinjuku, and Ruiji carefully unpacks the box as usual. The sender is not Fujinaga, but the consignor Eudora Bianchi, who met last night.

The delivery box contains a surprise - the magic book "Deep Diving Magic" that Richie has been thinking about. A greeting card fell out of the title page of Deep Dive Magic, with only two lines of words on it.

"In order to make the next diving trip enjoyable enough, I specially prepared a magic book suitable for you and sent it, I hope you will like this little gift."

She never thought of getting it in her hands in such a form, without wasting any effort.

"The magic books, which are more expensive than the pile of alchemy books combined, are described by her as 'little gifts', and this person is outrageous enough."

I seem to have the quality of attracting rich witches, and I received expensive magic books last night and today, is there a possibility that I will eat with my face in the future and mingle with the rich witch every day?

Legend has it that rich witches have eccentric habits and like to bully and abuse witches who are fostered, such as forcing them to eat handmade mapo tofu with a maximum of spiciness. Add a large amount of special peppercorns and red oil, and sometimes sprinkle a little chili powder, and the witch will be uncomfortable for a long time and will not be able to go out for a long time, and will be sick in bed.

It's not cost-effective to make health problems for the sake of money and lose dignity.

Ruiji shook his head, put aside the idea of relying on a rich witch, and used magic to dispose of the cardboard box of Sagawa Express Logistics, sneaking like a prisoner who came to the shrine to steal things. The book "Deep Diving Magic" is known for its rarity, and it is difficult for ordinary witches to buy even if they have money, and the market price has been speculated to tens of millions of yen.

It is cheaper to buy a house on an empty island in Tokyo that is a little smaller but can accommodate a family of a few people for 10 million yen, and it is cheaper to build a house on the island than to buy a commercial house on land in Tokyo.

A thin magic book can be sold for such an exaggerated price, she can be regarded as a long insight.

No wonder the snow owl specifically mentioned that "how much benefit you can get from the task object depends on the ability", and the co-author of this client is still a fat sheep, so that the partner can pick wool at will.

I'm afraid that if I get too much of it, I will be hated and it will be unpleasant.

Rich witches are most afraid of being remembered for their wealth, and they will not trust their partners. Giving expensive magic books is just to dive into the deep sea to bring someone together, and she doesn't believe that there can be a real friendship between an ordinary worker witch and a capitalist witch.

Ryji took "Deep Diving Magic" with mixed feelings, first read it quickly, then hid it in the innermost part of the cabinet, and covered it with the seal white fox mask.

The shadow cast by the seal was just enough to cover the lightweight magic book in his pocket, and Shizuru wouldn't be able to spot it for a while.

Shopping for travel needs with Feng Buyue was arranged in the afternoon, and she had other arrangements in the morning. Shizuru went to participate in the hike organized by the club, and Ruiji was the only one at home.

She hid in her room and secretly read the alchemy book sent by Fujinaga, and when she heard the movement, she hid the book and learned it with trepidation. Fortunately, she was lucky, and Feng Buyu came back before Jingliu.

On the second day of the holiday, I climbed Mt. Aso, took some photos of the eruption up close, and successfully reached the summit to the crater. Lunch is eaten on the way back to the flight, and you can use instant noodles and rice balls casually.

It's just two o'clock in the afternoon when I return to the shrine, so it's time to arrange some lightweight work.

"Do you want to go shopping now? On weekend evenings, there will be a lot of witches in the supermarket to snap up the products on sale, so it is best to avoid the time period of the sale. ”

"I just have nothing to do, so I should go for a walk."

Ruiji took off the broom from the broom stand in the entrance, sat down skillfully, and took off with Feng Buyue into the air, heading towards the Ginza floating business district. During the summer holidays, the streets of the floating business district are overcrowded, and even the broom storage area has to wait for empty seats.

They rode broomsticks and flew at low speed among the shops, picking out the items they wanted as they flew.

In terms of the amount of items in the storage space, there is not much need for this shopping. At first, the trip to Hakone was just a pretext, but after a night of thinking, it became a practical content, and Feng Bu planned to postpone it until after Rigi completed his Bermuda diving mission.

The view of Hakone is beautiful, and there is no loss when you go a few more times.

During the flight, the two witches also discussed their itinerary in Hakone Hot Spring Village. Rigi is a big fan of enjoying the real natural hot springs as soon as the day of the intense Sea of Death expedition ends.

She had never been to the famous Mt. Fuji in her life, and the pleasure of climbing to the top was more appealing than climbing to the hill behind the shrine.

The purpose of the closure is clear, taking Ruiji through thousands of shops in the Ginza business district, flying into the deep alleys, and stopping in the most corner area.

The deeper the store, the lower the rent, and the less likely it is to find it, and the business may be greatly reduced.

The blocks in front are all goldfully decorated European-style shops, or simple and atmospheric modern shops, this magic shop in the corner is a real Zhongdong East, white bricks and white tiles, round arched doorways, and there is only one witch in the store, who doubles as a clerk and store manager.

The witch wears a black Middle Eastern robe and a white veil, and the face hidden under the veil is not real.

"What do you two want?"

Behind the veil came the voice of a mature woman.
