134. Surprise
"Really? I didn't expect me to be so popular. Now, please turn around—"
Ruiji was puzzled at first, and looked behind him according to the instructions that he could not read.
The Chinese witch landed on a motorized broomstick, holding a fresh coconut with a straw in her left hand and a mobile phone in her right hand, her long pink hair tossed by the midnight sea breeze.
Her appearance was very sudden, as if she had won a big prize by drawing a blind box, and she really understood how to create surprises.
"Good evening, Miss Ryj. Did you miss me during the dozens of hours we were apart? ”
"General."
The cliché plot contains a bit of refreshing romance, like a glass of lemonade with sea salt. It's a pity that the relationship between the two of them is a strategic partnership that is a little better than ordinary friends, and romance is not blessed.
Miss Feng Buyue is a witch who knows how to create romance and surprises, and when her girlfriend gets excitement and throbbing from time to time, probably.
"You've been on your way to the Canary Islands for a long time, and it's cunning to hide from me."
Ruiji pretended to hit her forehead, but blocked it with a staff and pulled out a bottle of frozen marble soda from the storage space. A specialty of Hakone, you can enjoy a unique sulfur flavor, and the brand name is "Marugo Soda and Hot Spring Water Flavor".
The first sip feels strange to any drop, the second sip begins to get used to it, and the third and fourth sip gradually indulges.
The Witch of Japan Association regularly develops bizarre beverages and puts them into production and sells them all over Japan. Strange-tasting drinks tend to attract unique witches, and the pianist witch who lives next door likes to show off a can of mustard-flavored Coke after playing a tune.
She tried it while she was in the supermarket, and it was a pain she will never forget.
As the soda is swallowed, the spicy taste of mustard and the sweetness of cola run through the throat and into the stomach, and the beautiful day ends here, and the happy expression is gone, leaving only endless regret.
Since then, she has been able to taste even the strangest drink.
"It's just a hunch. I have a hunch that you might be in some trouble, and I can't put it at ease. It just so happened that one of the witch guests at the hot spring inn, who was also the feather of the snow owl, told me that the snow owl had acquiesced to my visit to the Canary Islands to support you, and that the permission had come a little late.
It was still daytime when I set out, and it was night when I came here. The night view of the archipelago is beautiful, higher and wider than the sky that Flotin could see. ”
I enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by the night.
Except for some areas of the sea, which are perennially cloudy and difficult to disperse, the sky over the Canary Islands is clear most of the time, and you can see twinkling stars and a full moon hanging high in the sky when you look up.
After making sure that your friend is safe and sound and that you have enjoyed the view, it's time to bring the most important process to life.
"Anyway, Miss Rij, which store has the best food nearby?"
"There are a lot of them. To thank you for coming all the way, tonight's supper will be credited to my account. ”
As the tense mood unfolded, Ruiji also had a desire to consume.
As long as you don't go to the island's luxury shops and buy special souvenirs that are too expensive to buy, the cost elsewhere is not much different from that in Tokyo.
In particular, the butcher Torishima street food stalls are cheap and large, and the point is that the food tastes good, so you don't even think about buying at a street food bar in Tokyo, the amount of food, the taste and the price have to be sacrificed the same, or even both.
Feng Buyue shook his head.
"No, it should be on your employer's account. She promises you before you leave that she will pay for everything you spend in the Canary Islands, and that if you can spend someone else's money, you won't spend your own. ”
"Aren't you afraid that she will hold a grudge, and when the time comes, she will find a group of extreme witches to seek revenge?"
"No way. She can't even control you, how can I be afraid of her? ”
"Hey ......"
The words of the Chinese witch pierce the heart, and Reji finally finds an opportunity to hit her in the head.
"Smack-"
"The touch was successful."
"I didn't expect Miss Ryji to have a childish side too."
The two of them leave the beach of the butcher bird and walk towards the lively night city. There is no such thing as a closed night market on Butcher Bird Island, and there are people who visit the store at any time.
At two o'clock in the morning, the roadside stalls are almost full, and they skip ordinary food and pick out stalls that sell sea monsters and dragon meat. The scales and flippers of the deep sea dragons can be used as alchemy materials, and the flesh on the torso is processed by the witches as ingredients and used in many dishes.
Sea dragon meat is made into smoked sausages sandwiched in hot dog bread and squeezed with some salad dressing and tomato sauce, and it sells better than the authentic hot dog next door. There are also griffin and snow monster meat dishes, and the most attractive dessert for passing witches is the apple pie made with the dragon's eyeballs.
Spread a few eyeballs on top of the apple pie you just got and the eyeballs will spin around. The witch who made this dessert from the underworld named it "Looking Up at the Stars", which is not far from the classic stargazing.
The appearance of desserts is very curious, but there are not a few witches who spend money to buy them. The medical community has now determined that eating the eyeballs of exotic beasts can slightly increase the magic power, which is good for the witch's body.
The witch at the next table forked a spinning dragon eyeball with a fork, which pierced the membrane and mucous blood flowed out of it. The witch bit down with her white teeth, making a crisp chewing sound, and Ruiji could see it clearly, and a wisp of dark red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
“……”
The witches who eat dragon eyeballs come from the fighting peoples, and their stomachs can hold a lot of strange ingredients, and the dragon eyeballs are just the foundation of the basics.
The Russian witches rap the apple pie in Russian for its sweetness, and the side dishes on it are so delicious that you can't find it even in Russia.
The more Riji listened, the more she felt her stomach turn upside down. The eyeballs of the human face fish used to refine the potion are enough for the Ha people, and they can barely drink it after turning into the potion.
She really stared at the beast eyeballs that had not undergone any processing and were pure and natural and additive-free, and she would never be able to swallow them.
Feng Buyu ordered ten different dishes in one go, and the names and appearances of the dishes were very strange, which were more acceptable than those ordered by the Russian witch next door. Ruiji tried some braised sea dragon tail meat, which is softer than beef, tender and juicy, and coated in breadcrumbs and fried batter, which tastes even more delicious than takoyaki.
After four o'clock in the morning, Miss Eudora's attendant witch appeared at the end of the alley and put down three identical black wooden boxes.
"This is the 'Aquamarine Stone Storage Space Pendant' that Miss asked me to prepare for you, a total of three copies, each of which can store 60 cubic meters of volume of items, please take a look."
"Thank you."
Ruiji opened the box, and there was a transparent gemstone lying quietly inside, blue with green, exactly the same color as the seawater, so it was named Aquamarine.
