"Eh, it's boring to be an adult, I want to be a child." Natsuki crouched on the ground.

"What's so good about a child, with a stupid brain and short legs." Saho puts Natsuki on the ground as a racket.

"Aren't you a child?" Natsuki stood up and said confusedly.

"I have long legs and a clever brain." Saho picked up Natsuki hard, "Uh...... You've become so heavy! Gotta get some exercise! ”

"The smell of stink." Natsuki takes a bite of the early spike and finds that she doesn't bathe much.

"So we're going to go into the city to buy things for everyone, okay Xia Xi, come with me, don't bite me, I'm not delicious." Saho carried Natsuki on her shoulders.

"Going to the city to buy something?" Natsuki was curious, "Have you become rich?" ”

"What's more, I'm going to build a self-sufficient small shop in Anxin Temple, make a lot of money, so that I can be rich and powerful, and then build a small group and pull everyone in, after all, we are all witches, very amazing, we must hug each other closely......" Saho gushed.

"Aang?" Natsuki asked.

Arriving at the door, Hasuki plans to drive to Niigata City at the foot of the mountain to investigate industrial and commercial information, so that he can buy land in the city and invest in the future.

"Miss, wait for me!" Saho ran over with Natsuki in her arms.

“？” When Lianwu saw Saho, she didn't know what she wanted to do.

"Give this to you to play, take me to the car." Saho lifted Natsuki in front of Lotus Mist.

Lian Wu bent down, smiled slightly, and scratched Xia Xi's nose, Xia Xi's eyes were bright and cute.

"Big sister!" Natsuki happily waved her little hands and feet.

"Get in the car~" Lianwu waved his hand.

"Okay, we're going to go shopping in the city, Natsuki, you stay here and don't move." Saho opens the trunk of the Lotus Mist Car and puts Natsuki inside.

“？” Natsuki sat in the trunk, and Saho happily got into the car.

~" Lianwu was going to start the engine, but she felt something heavy in the trunk, she went back to take a look, and hurriedly picked up Xia Xi out.

Natsuki grimaced at Saho, and then Lian Wu sat down and put Natsuki in the co-pilot.

"Put on the seat belt, fasten it~" Lian Wu taught them how to wear the seat belt.

"We've got to get it done quickly and bring back all the good stuff." Saho is confident in what she has to do, she closes the car door and fastens her seatbelt under the guidance of Hasuki.

Lianwu drove away from Anxin Temple and walked around the city to inspect the city's industrial and commercial land, many of which were dilapidated.

Before entering Niigata City, Saho also asked about the pronunciation of "潟" and found that it was the fourth sound of "xi", which is similar to "play".

Lianwu inspected a lot of land suitable for investment in Niigata City, and she had to make good use of Zhang Su's money, because Zhang Su had suffered some negative effects when he fought the wealth demon Mr. Fortunado, and it was easy to lose his wealth, so Lianwu had to take responsibility and use the money in the right way.

Along the highway through the eastern suburbs of Niigata City, the landscape transitions from mountainous to more open industrial and commercial areas, with endless factories, warehouses, and employee dormitories lining both sides of the road.

Lianwu drove the car off the highway and reconnoitred a little along the way.

The vast Shinano River flows into the sea, the waterway is wide, and on the right is a vast industrial complex that spans multiple blocks, with gray concrete walls seven or eight meters high, rusty metal doors blocking the entrance, tower-like chimneys standing one after another, and obvious signs of blackened fire on the top of the factory.

The parking lot is empty, many of the storefronts are dilapidated and faded, the art style of the signs and advertisements is outdated, and the company is working hard to promote the long-bankrupt business, and only one lone ramen shop is still open.

It is a declining plot, and most of the resources have been siphoned away by the new Tokyo, and such a frontier countryside has no competitive advantage. Lian Wu meditated.

However, after all, it is on the coastline, there are seas, and there are highways, so if you take over the family's production capacity from New Tokyo, you should be able to recruit people to start the work.

There is great potential for redevelopment, but not in the suburbs, and only by the port to have hope.

Lianwu drove the car to the supermarket, and even the brand of the large supermarket was dismantled and replaced with "Shengyang".

The bright red Sun's logo stabbed her eyes, and Lian Wu wanted to destroy them, facing the behemoth, but with the idea of challenge, she felt like a lone hero in the modern world.

She parked the car and took her two children out of the car to buy something.

~" Lianwu shook the arms of Saho and Natsuki, and glanced at them respectively, meaning to tell them not to go too far and not to run away.

"Little one, help me carry something." Saho took the big red basket to Natsuki and told her to carry her things and take care of the supermarket herself.

This is the great division of labor.

"Wow...... Natsuki hugged the big basket and stared blankly at the magnificent supermarket.

It's a warehouse-style supermarket with a dusty ceiling crisscrossed by pipes, frames and metal beams.

The surrounding aisles are crowded with goods, and various signs such as "fresh", "seafood", and "grain and oil" hang high in the air to serve as a guide.

~" Lotus Mist led them through several important blocks.

Saho struggled to scan the array of goods, trying to discern what she needed.

Once you enter the modern supermarket, your field of view is filled with endless goods, and the majestic productivity of industrial society is awe-inspiring.

"It's like the whole world has been moved to this place, and that's a big supermarket...... It doesn't get much more remarkable than that. Saho was full of praise as she picked it, "There are cabbage, large radishes as long as an arm, onions, what fish, what shrimp and crabs, ......"

"Eat meat!" Xia Xi carried a basket of things, and as she passed the meat section, she couldn't help but stop, pointing to the freshly cut raw beef on the board, and boxes of red meat such as pork bones, meat chops, lean meat, and pig's trotters wrapped in plastic film.

Lian Wu went over and fetched her a few copies.

"Ho ho ...... It's good to have an adult around...... Natsuhi, you've got it. When he went to the tobacco and alcohol area, Saho boldly took a few cigarettes into the shopping basket, and also hugged a case of beer and a few bottles of foreign wine.

"Ugh!" Natsuki was instantly crushed by the steep increase in weight, and the person fell forward.

"Work hard, Teacher Dasu can take so many things with one little thumb." Early spike cheers.

"Huhu......" Natsuki grabbed the basket with both hands and tried to lift it up, but her face was red and she couldn't do it!

"~" Lianwu came over and picked up the basket, and Xia Xi relieved himself.

"Guagua~" Xia Xi ran to a big watermelon in the fresh area and pounced, his face was attached to the emerald green melon skin, and he was extremely nostalgic.

"You can't lift it like that, come back quickly, no one cares what you like!" Saho took Natsuki off the watermelon, "I can only buy you watermelon-flavored bubble gum!" ”

"Humph......!" Xia Xi thinks that if the teacher comes, he will buy her a big watermelon, and Zhang Su is still very good.

"Big sister hug! Big sister is good, early spike is bad! Xia Xi was heartbroken and asked for a lotus mist hug.

Lianwu held Xia Xi in one hand and a basket in the other, and went to the self-service shopping machine to settle the bill.

Saho turned his head excitedly, this supermarket is really amazing, there are more surprises everywhere, there are more surprises every turn, countless categories and materials, making people feel that this world is extremely rich, and there are as many people as fish in the seafood area.

Natural light shines in from the grille of the skylight, casting a cool light, and it does not look depressing, and Zaosui tastes the sweetness, and will continue to come out to buy things in the future, and consumption is also a kind of entertainment.

Soon, before sunset, Lianwu drove Saho, Natsuki, and the things they bought back to Anxinyuan.

Lianwu went to Yuehuayuan to make tea and at the same time conceived her investment plan for new industries.

Saho and Natsuki unload the goods.

"Little friend Xia Xi, follow me, and you will have endless lollipops and bubble gum." Saho ran to trade.

"I love watermelon bubble gum, but you won't give it to me." Natsuki hurried to follow.

Saho sells the shampoo she bought to Delia.

"Here's the shampoo, give me 1,500 yen." Saho announced.

"I don't have that much money, only 1,000 yen." Delia said without hesitation.

"Uh...... "Saho is in trouble now, and the first transaction has encountered a big difficulty," "That...... You owe it first, but before you pay it off, you have to do things for us. ”

"Do what?" Delia didn't understand.

"Play hide and seek with us, play with the ball!" Natsuki's eyes lit up.

"You can ...... when you have time," Delia nodded, and then gave Saho a crumpled 1,000 yen bill.

"Hide-and-seek and slapping the ball are not things that we do big things should strive for." Saho pulled Natsuki away, feeling that it was not worth it, "We have to make money." ”

Saho sells a bottle of sake to Yumemi Eto.

"Auntie, take a look, this is that, that and that......" Saho turned the bottle sideways and looked at the foreign words on it.

"Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Châteauneuf-du-Pape." Yumemi Eto picked up the bottle.

"You said you were going to give me a potion recipe or something?" Early spike raised its head.

"I can give it to you." Wei Teng Mengmei took a deep breath, "But I'll make an appointment with you for three chapters." ”

"How?" Saho listens.

"First, you can't tell humans that potions are a secret passed down from witch to witch. Second, don't abuse and only mix when necessary. Third, dictate secrets only in one-on-one situations. Eto said.

"Oh!" Sasui understood, she turned around and drove Natsuki away, "Go back to sleep, you're just a tool kid, go back to where you should go." ”

"Whew......" Natsuki stretched and went back to the dormitory with the sound of cicadas.

"What I'm going to teach you is the recipe for the 'Fairy Drink', which is actually very simple, but can only be produced by us witches with magical power: three drops of local dew at 1 a.m., cold-pressed olive oil, saffron stigma, thyme whole herb freshness, sage powder and passionflower juice, all added to apple juice to dispel some of the witch's mind, and can only be made once a month, otherwise it will be harmful to the body and mind." Eto said.

"What's the use of this potion? What is it? "Saho doesn't understand.

"Since ancient times, the witches of the spirit world have developed fairy delicacies, drinking and eating all day long, increasingly decadent, this potion is a rudimentary counterfeit creation, can simulate their drink, let you rejuvenate extremely quickly, heal wounds, and then for a long time without having to eat, all your needs are satisfied, tirelessly." Yumemi Eto explained.

"That sounds amazing, I'll have to write it down...... Hey, I can't read. "Saho is more aware of the importance of seriously studying with Mr. Dasu and Mrs. Reina.

She ghosted in her notebook for a while.

"I'm not going to write it down for you." Eto sneered and turned to leave.

Saho did her best to write everything down, and I hope someone can help me gather all the ingredients.

Fortunately, she now has a small business of her own, and she has money, and there are some adults in the Anxin Courtyard who can help.

Finally, Saho tucked the cigarette case under his shirt and hurried through the courtyard of Anxin-in.

Kuraike Koiko and her group huddled in a distant corner, their whispers reaching Saho's ears in the evening breeze.

She approached with a measured step, feeling the weight of the goods in her arms, tobacco, hard-won!

The deal will elevate her status among prisoners.

"I got a cigarette." Saho announced.

Kuraike's eyes sparkled in the night.

She snatched the package from Saho's hand and carefully examined the contents.

"Yes, yes, kid." Kuraike Koiko put away her cigarette, "I'll give it to you again when I have the money." ”

Saho frowned.

"We'll get it." She said.

"Plans have changed. I don't have any money on me. Kuraike's Koiko shrugged. Don't worry, I'll give the money. As long as you have patience. ”

The witches around her all came over, mops and brooms in their hands. Saho quickly looked around, and the number of people in the miscellaneous group surpassed her.

Saho glanced up at Koiko Kuraike.

"So don't pay, do you?" Saho asked.

"." Kuraike's Koiko sneered.

Saho disappeared in front of them, Kuraike's pupils shrank, and suddenly she felt cold in her waist, and Saho had already put the three-edged thorn on her back!

"Ahh

"Shadow Path......

"Terrible!" The other witches were shocked, watching how Saho held Koiko Ike hostage.

"You owe me." Saho said fiercely.

"You don't dare to do it." Kuraike's Koiko sneered.

Know the weight of your hands. Saho thought about what Sensei Osu had said.

She pushed the triangular pyramid forward, and Kuraike Koiko only felt a tingling and cold, as if a sharp object was poking into her back, tearing her muscles and pressing her internal organs!
