"How do you interpret this card?"

Rydge had a bad premonition in her heart.

The reversed card is always a negative image, and it doesn't matter if you draw the reverse for yourself, but if you draw it for your sister, you will curse her.

"Forget it, can I redraw the cards?"

"The results of redrawing cards and divination will not be accurate, miss, you can listen to my interpretation before considering it. The reverse hand doesn't mean it's going to be bad, it might just be a reminder of what to look out for. ”

The Witch ruffled her long light gray hair and pressed her finger on the card, which was painted with fancy colored nail polish.

"When a hermit's cards are turned upside down, it means that the diviner is too focused on his career and is unwilling to face anything else, so there will be a breakthrough in his career.

The disadvantage is reflected in the feelings, the divination object is accustomed to using work to escape from feelings, paralyzing himself, and is afraid that the pursuit of feelings will affect his existing life, so he chooses to retreat. Does your sister fit any of the above points? ”

"I don't want to admit it...... Basically, all in all. ”

Ruiji wiped the sweat off her face, and her nervousness was relieved.

The divination results are more optimistic than expected, and the problem of Shizuru being obsessed with work and not wanting to find a girlfriend has long been there, and the tarot card divination puts it on the bright side, so that as a family member, she pays a little attention.

It's time to care more about my sister's love life, lest she be a single person in the future and be single for the rest of her life.

After completing two divinations, Ruiji successfully obtained the blue rune stone she wanted from the Stick Witch. The witch used a tool to make a round hole in the top end of the rune stone and threaded it through a black braided thread to make it a pendant that could be worn around her neck.

"Now it's yours. Beautiful young lady, thank you for patronizing me through the extremely boring 15 minutes. Have a nice night and see you soon. ”

"Goodbye."

Bidding farewell to the Witch of the Divine Stick, Ruiji put on a rune stone pendant and immediately rode a broom to the beach to breathe.

As a witch with a strong sense of curiosity and a desire to die, after getting the runestone, she must go to the beach to try its effect. If you don't encounter a sea wraith, you can enjoy the glowing coral reefs.

It's not okay to just go on a mission without looking at the scenery, and half of the reason she wants to come to the Atlantic Sea is for sightseeing. The opportunity to travel was just around the corner, and the travel funds given by the client led her to the beach.

The endless Atlantic Ocean, rippling in the night breeze, resembles a giant dark gray cradle. The coloured coral reefs in the shallow areas glow in the transparent waters, becoming natural illumination, and the streetlights on the seashore are dulled by the brilliant coloured light of the reefs.

Canary Islands Beach has a special sandy quality, similar to Mogamihama Beach in Asahina Town, which I have been to, and it is a fine and shiny silver sand that feels soft to step on.

The sand still has a little residual temperature of daytime sunshine, and the strangely shaped coral reef is partly underwater, and only a small section is exposed in the shallow water.

In the distance, several witch couples walk along the coastline hand in hand, and when they are happy, they will do something more intimate.

Foreign witches are not taboo in the eyes of others, and Ruiji has long known it. She could only squeeze out an embarrassed but polite smile as she passed by, looking for a clean place where no witches sprinkled dog food.

Although I don't have much interest in love, I will feel embarrassed and uncomfortable when others are crazy next to me.

Rydge began the suspension following mode of the Australian Star broomstick, stepping on the sand, and making his way along the east coast alone. The salty smell of the sea breeze is refreshing, and the island's witches set up stalls selling coconut water and sea salt flavored lemonade to passing witch tourists.

Soda is sold cheaply, only 50 cents a bottle, which is a lot more filling than the black-hearted souvenir shop. The stall also has several American-inspired snacks, burgers, burritos, Chicago hot dogs and waffles, all of which are good and inexpensive.

She bought a burrito and ate it on the go, and before she knew it, she was leaving the tourist-dense East Coast and entering the sparsely populated West Coast. There is a wooden sign in the grass that reads "Beware of Sea Wraiths" written in black ink.

Since the beach has not been cleaned for a long time, the sign has been obscured, and Ruiji did not see it for the first time, and continued to go deeper into it as a safety zone. The West Coast was deserted, save for the constant sound of waves crashing against the shore.

"There's finally no witch here."

The vision and ears were cleared, and they were freed from the many entangled figures.

There are many large rocks with strange shapes on the seashore, and the top layer of the rock has been artificially processed and polished into a smooth and flat platform for people to sit and rest. Rij's butt is small, taking up only one-third of it, and soda and half-eaten burritos can be placed on it.

The rocks are cold, proving that no one has ever sat on them.

Sitting down from a perspective just enough to see the brightest coral reef, Ruiji used his mobile phone to take some landscape photos and send them to Feng Bu to read, and by the way, he coped with Jingliu's inquiry.

After watching the same scenery for a long time, Ruiji thought about riding a broom to visit other places on Butcher's Bird Island, and first found out the geographical environment. It's a pity that I didn't meet the real sea wraith, and I don't know the effect of the rune stone on my neck.

The light of the distant sea is faint, the glowing coral reefs and aquatic life are deeper, and the large and silent underwater complex sleeps beneath the calm sea, and if his strength allows, Riji will temporarily go on an expedition in his own name. Control the depth and lateral distance of your dive, explore shallowly, and wait until the official mission to get into the underwater ruins.

It's all because of the simulation training room, which made her itchy from the beginning of the training.

Ahead was a small rocky beach full of rocky rocks, and in the crevices of the large boulders, Reji caught a glimpse of a wet figure. The figure is very slender, suddenly emerging from the dark blue water, the sea shakes off when walking, the long hair that cannot be seen in the specific color is like straightened seaweed on the body, and the dress is soaked by the seawater, clinging to the body, depicting the body curve of the figure.

Not bad figure, Ruiji thought to herself.

At night, she is still playing in the shallow sea, and the other party may be a witch with a particularly good water nature, so it is better to come forward to say hello and ask her about the news of the underwater ruins.

The native witches of the Canary Islands must know more than the witches from outside, and asking them is more detailed than looking up information on the Internet. Miss Eudora once said that the first skill that every witch in the Canary Islands learned was not walking or magic, but swimming.

The first batch of islander witches who brought foreign explorers to the bottom of the sea made a lot of money, and later more and more people did this, the market became increasingly saturated, and the unit price became lower and lower.

Soon, the explorers drew a detailed map of the seabed, and the islander witches who led the way gradually became useless, and the popular guide profession was less popular than the hawkers.

Rui Ji is not like other Japanese witches who are afraid of society, and the basic communication skills should be mastered.

"Hello, Miss Witch of Butcher Bird Island."

The gentle greeting passed through the rocky beaches and the waves, reaching the ears of the water witch.

The witch looked up, her pale blue eyes meeting Ritch's. With the pale blue glow of a coral reef, she could barely see the witch's appearance.

The complexion is very white, almost miserable, without blood. Two-thirds of the hair color is silver, and it begins to fade in the middle, and the ends of the hair are light aqua blue with the smell of the sea.

The facial features are three-dimensional, there is no doubt that Westerners are high, the bridge of the nose is high, the lips are thin, and the side face is particularly moving.

Her costume was cool, similar to that worn by the waiters at the Butcher's Bird Hotel, but the fabric was lighter and thinner, thin enough to see the body underneath.

The key places, the less critical places, can be seen clearly if you are not careful.

The witch's way of dressing is very natural, not affected by industrial clothing, and the inside is completely hollow, and there is no shadow of underwear. However, the island is full of witches, and there is no one other than witches, so this matter is not important.

The other party just stared at Ruiji, his lips pursed, and he didn't say a word, so Ruiji had to switch to other languages to try to communicate. If one doesn't work, then there are a few more.

"Miss? Hello？ こんにちは？ Bonjour？ Aloha？ Hallo？ Здравствыйте？ ”

At present, she does not speak many languages, and the content of foreign languages is "hello". The basic sentence of greeting a foreign witch will naturally be said after listening to it too much.

“……”

The witch on the opposite side was indifferent, but instead showed a frightened expression and threw several round objects from the sea. Rydge pulls her staff from under her skirt and blocks it with level 3 defense magic.

The barrier unfolded, the rapidly attacking objects were blocked, water droplets burst out, and a "rain" fell in front of the barrier. She still didn't know what country the water witch was from or what language she spoke.

With its deft body turned away from the shore, it plunged headlong into the water, swimming farther and deeper like a fish.

"Hey ......"

Ruiji wanted to stop the witch, but found that people didn't care at all and ran fast.

The ocean is not a place where witches who live on land or in the sky all year round can control it, especially at night. The sound of paddling gradually weakened, and the witch had completely left, without the slightest nostalgia for the coast.

The object that hits the barrier is several balls of water condensed with magic, which are not harmful, in order to divert Rydge's attention in order to get out.

"It's a bit of a pity, I thought I could talk to the indigenous people."

Considering the nature of the Canary Islands, the witches on the island have lived in a special environment for many years, and it is understandable that they are resistant to foreign witches. The street vendors have different attitudes towards customers, some are cold and some are enthusiastic.

She wandered around the beach for another half hour, but still didn't see the real sea wraith. Riji had no choice but to go back to his hotel room to rest and enjoy the luxurious marble bath.

The waitress witch who served the guests had been waiting in her room, asking her requests in non-standard Japanese, and there was a deep hint in her words.

After a long day of tossing and turning, Rydge began to feel physically and mentally exhausted, and the negative effects of excessive mana drain came to mind, and she didn't have the heart to think about her extraneous sounds.

Again, how can there be any adventure in fighting?

"Rub my back for me, wash my hair, and don't do anything else. I hope I don't have to use magic, I want to experience human service, is that okay? ”

"Yes."

The waitress witch revealed a bit of loss in her tone, serving tea and pouring water for the guests, washing her hair and rubbing her back has no extra income, she may want to earn more tips through extra service. The extra service may be paid more than a month's salary for one night.

Reiki pretended not to notice it, enjoying it comfortably. Some things have to be done with the help of someone else to be comfortable, such as tickling and massage, and the same goes for washing hair.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the image of the mysterious witch who had dived into the deep sea immediately took over his brain. The more mysterious things are, the more memorable they are, and an English proverb comes to mind, which just matches the image of a witch.

——Between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Between the devil and the blue deep sea.

It means that you are in a dilemma, you can't be saved either forward or backward, and you can only choose a relatively easy direction to escape from the things you resist as much as possible and get short-term pleasure.

The witch didn't choose to go ashore, turned around and dived into the deep sea, is there something more nostalgic in the sea than on the shore?

The seeds of the puzzle are planted deep in her heart, and there is one more thing that Ryji wants to figure out. The next time I have a chance to see her again, I have to find a way to talk and ask more clues.

After enjoying the witch's one-stop service of back rubbing and shampooing, Ruiji stuffed her with some tips. The witch who got the tip said a bunch of things in canary slang that she didn't understand, and her expression should be grateful and happy.

The first night was calm, and when I woke up, it was just evening in Japan, and the unreadable Line account was online, sending a batch of photos of Hakone Hot Spring Town, and there were a lot of photos of Mt. Fuji, from morning to night, at every important time.

She saved a few of them that she particularly liked.

Riji: It's a good shot, is there any stability on the still side?

Unreadable: I message Miss Shizuru every once in a while, and she is convinced of our "date trip". Actually, I would like to go to Bermuda, and although the scenery of Hakone is beautiful, it is boring to go without a challenge.

Rij: Next time, try to get the Snowy Owl to send us together. You know, the debut task can't be tested without relying on herself, otherwise she would have arranged it a long time ago. Your first mission is still on the way, and I don't think I can go with you.

I want her to send me to the Nile, I want to go into the pyramids and see what the mummy of the pharaoh looks like.

Rij: My alchemy teacher also loves mummies.

Seal or not: Remember to share the task process with me, as detailed as possible, and you should repay me for helping you hide your sister's affairs. I'll go to dinner first, and then I may have to climb the mountain, and I don't necessarily reply to the message, but I have a message in advance.

Rydge: Bye-bye, it's time for me to get ready for my next mission.

Cutting through the chat app screen, she found that it was just after seven o'clock in the morning local time. The mission will be in the evening, and the rest of the time will be passed hard. It's impossible to sleep with it all, because you can't sleep.

The mana consumed is fully restored with the help of sleep and recovery potions, and the body is in excellent condition.

The sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is clear and cloudless, and the sea is calm. Riji travels to the rocky beach on the west coast to see the witch from last night again.
