Sitting at the bar and looking at the dazzling array of sushi like cakes in the window, Aoko Aosaki's heart couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Oooh oh!

Sitting in such a storefront and enjoying food freely, I don't know when it has become a part of the precious memories of Aoko's ordinary life.

Since she entered high school, she has been deeply moved by this precious daily routine.

On the premise of maintaining a girlish posture as much as possible, she quickly picked up a plate of tuna sushi as a soothing comfort to her inner struggle.

In the face of accepting the windfall that I don't know how to describe, Aozaki Aoko still couldn't overcome her conscience, and invited the other party to dinner in the name of gratitude, which can be regarded as fooling the previous matter.

For the sake of the banknote that is enough to cover her current living expenses for a month, she is no longer entangled in the origin of the young man.

After all, the affairs of the student union on weekdays already kept her very busy, and she had to practice magic after she went back, so she really couldn't spare a part-time job to subsidize her life.

However, although the young people at the sushi restaurant did not object, Aoko Aozaki would not be at ease because of this.

"There is cooked food in sushi...... too"

"Thank you for the advice."

The man smiled softly and skillfully picked up his favorite food.

Although he proposed to treat himself, when the young man unceremoniously took two plates of top-notch sushi, the corners of Aoko Aosaki's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

As if noticing her performance, the young man said.

"Speaking of which, it seems that the sushi you take is of ordinary level, only eat things that are easier to fill, and it can't be said to be healthy, you have to eat expensive things, and you have to eat cheap ones, and you have to feel the taste and weight of both sides to appreciate the weight of flesh and blood."

Do you think everyone is a bastard rich person like you!

Aozaki Aoko roared in the bottom of her heart.

But considering that the other party responded to her kindness in a fairly gentle way even though she knew the style of conveyor sushi, she didn't say anything more, but shifted the topic to what the young man had brought up before.

"You say you're looking for a location, are there any specific conditions? I'm going to find Misaki City. ”

She folded her hands on the bar, braced her sizable chest, and stared at the plates of sushi that had passed by, as if chatting.

"You shouldn't talk about your hometown, but there's really nothing to spend here in, and you won't be deceived by that partner of yours, right?"

Although in my heart I feel that the statement of signing a contract is proof of marriage, but I don't know if this word is a new fashion in a big city, Qingzi still followed the words of the young man.

"She doesn't dare to lie to me yet."

The young man said in a rather firm tone, making the hierarchy between himself and his partner visible.

For this, Aozaki Qingzi is not surprised, whether it is appearance or financial resources, the young man in front of him has the confidence and capital to say so.

"Eh, what about the specific goals? Let me refer to it for you. ”

Aoko Aosaki doesn't like to talk to strangers too much, but for the sake of money, she still intends to maintain a basic work ethic.

"Target?"

The young man turned his head and smiled mysteriously.

"—Do you believe in gravity?"

Gravitation?

Aoko Aosaki blinked her eyes and couldn't help but start thinking about the identity of the other party.

"In the United States, there is a region called Cape Calvina, because of the low latitude, gravity is the closest to the rotation of the earth on the planet, and there are often tidal spectacles, so it is also very suitable for rocket launches."

The young man took a sip of roasted tea and explained unhurriedly.

"The place I'm looking for, it's very similar to it."

Aozaki Aoko looked at the young man a little speechlessly, she couldn't have been tricked, the situation of this island country about aerospace is not trustworthy, such a special place, if Misaki City existed, it would have been revealed a long time ago, and it would not have become such a half-dead appearance as it is now.

However, there should be no need for the other party to lie about this kind of thing.

Sure enough, I was deceived.

Aoko Aozaki sighed.

"If so, you may be disappointed, there is no such place as you say, in fact, the whole island should be ......"

"I know."

The young man interrupted Aoko with a rather calm expression.

"As I said, it's just a similar example, to give you a better understanding."

Aoko Aozaki clenched her fists.

Hard, fist hard!

This guy really thinks she's stupid, he knew he shouldn't have taken that money, and now he can't find a reason to be angry!

When the apprentice magician deeply regretted his previous greed for money, and stared at the sushi on the table, he kept stuffing it into his mouth as if he was revenge.

The young man continued.

"And the place I'm looking for is probably the kind of place where there are surreal anomalies and legends, which are completely out of proportion to today's times."

Hearing such words, Aoko Aosaki's movements suddenly froze, and because of the confusion of her thoughts, she stuffed a new piece of sushi into the previous food before she could swallow it.

"Ahem......"

She subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to respond to something, but because her mouth was stuffed, she could only cough, and then hurriedly poured a whole glass of water, swallowed the food in her mouth like a date, and looked at Roland.

If that's what the other party is aiming for, then you've come to the right place.

In a metropolis like Tokyo, there are strange rumors that are spread falsely, let alone in the countryside like Misaki City?

Even the reason for her red umbrella will be rumored at school that in the past, her umbrella was white, and she used a red umbrella because she made a deal with a monster.

From this incident, you can get a glimpse of the strange talk atmosphere in Misaki City.

Other legends that have been handed down since ancient times have not declined with the development of modernization, but have become more revived.

For example, the rotten mansions on the mountains, the screams in the middle of the night, the ruins of the forest that are also dark during the day, and so on.

What's worse is that, in a sense, it's true.

She and her cohabitants are magicians isolated from the world, and as a local family, the spiritual land controlled by the Aosaki family is second to none even if you look at the world, and it is easy to attract abnormal appearances and the prying eyes of foreign magicians, resulting in such legends repeatedly banned.

"Uh...... Most of this kind of thing is misinformation, and you have to believe in science. ”

Aoko Aosaki knew that her expression was very stiff, but she still pretended to be indifferent.

At this time, she no longer felt guilty about the previous act of accepting the money.

The first element of magic is secrecy, once it is seen, erasing memories is the most gentle means, and it is generally more common to extinguish the mouth.

And because she is still in her apprenticeship, the affairs of dealing with the influence of the spiritual land are generally handled by the cohabitants themselves, and they will occasionally take her as an exercise when they encounter suitable situations.

She was sure that her cohabitant would not hesitate to do anything in the matter of extermination, even if she had become a teacher and friend with the other party, Qingzi would not deny the pale demonism of the cohabitant.

"Believe in science......"

The young man was silent for a moment and chuckled.

"That being said, it took a lot of effort to get here, and after all, it was recommended by my partner, so I had to see it for myself."

Aoko Aosaki took a deep breath, ready to test the effect of the suggestion on the other party after eating this meal, although she is not very confident in the effectiveness of her suggestion, but now she can't care so much.

Therefore, although she was still a little uncomfortable with saying her name to strangers she had never met, in order to close the distance and strengthen the success of the hint, Aoko Aosaki took the initiative to speak.

"We don't know each other's names yet, do we? My name is Aoko Aosaki, what about you? ”

"Roland, my name is Roland."

The young man shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, is the surname Aozaki common?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Aoko Aosaki glanced at Roland with some suspicion, and picked up a piece of sushi again.

"I see, it's just that my partner's hometown is also in this city, so I feel like it's just a coincidence,"

Roland shrugged his shoulders and laughed.

"After all, her surname is also Aosaki."

"Huh?"

Aoko Aosaki's shoulders shrunk, and the action of picking up the sushi stopped in place as if it had been frozen, and she turned her head blankly and looked at Roland's face with a hell-like consternation.
