"So, are you happy?" Saho held her small mobile phone and stood in the concrete corridor outside the school building.

The other children surround Delia to continue learning how to study magic.

"Happiness?" Sayuri's tone was confused.

"It's all about happiness. Did you wake up well in the morning? Are breakfast, lunch and dinner good? Would someone like to take the initiative to talk to you? Did you learn something new? Do you get enough exercise? Have time to play for yourself? Saho asked.

Saho was surprised, there were people who didn't understand what happiness was, wouldn't that be more stupid than her?

Then, Saho heard a long sigh coming from the other end of the phone.

"It's not going to be bad." Sayuri said. She really didn't know how to put it.

"It won't be worse than the Anxin Hospital, where you can only raise chickens and milk cows. Now that I'm with my senior sister, my senior sister will definitely take good care of you. Saho said.

She fantasized about how happy she would have if she lived with her senior sister! As long as I can hear the voice of my senior sister every day, I am very satisfied.

By the way, the voice of the senior sister, she really wants to hear the voice of the senior sister.

"We're just trying to make ends meet, working out our troubles day in and day out." Sayuri paused, as if she didn't want to worry Saho, "But we can handle it, thank you for your concern." ”

"It's good if you're happy, because I'm happy too. Can I talk to Senpai? Saho said.

"She's busy." Sayuri said.

"Busy, busy." Haupui muttered.

She wanted to say something unfortunate about the bad luck she encountered in the Anxin Hospital, but she felt that Sayuri was also depressed, so she didn't say it.

They both felt that they couldn't tell each other their burdens, and the conversation stopped.

It's embarrassing. Saho thought to herself. I'm too stupid to hold my phone and stay still.

"Do you want me to send you something?" Sayuri couldn't help but say, "I still miss you, I miss everyone, I think about the place in the mountains, there are grass and trees, hey, sometimes I think about it in my dreams." It's in the countryside, and there's nothing to worry about. Whatever you want, I'll buy it from New Tokyo and send it over. ”

"Online shopping is too developed, why do you want to send it over." Saho didn't think so, she used the eldest lady's "cheap purchase" account to buy a lot of things.

As soon as the words fell, Saho heard a sound similar to choking on the other end of the phone.

“…… Also. Sayuri reluctantly said, "Then let's talk next time, next time?" ”

"Okay." Saho said.

Why do you cry? Why is Sayuri's sister crying because of this? She had this question in her mind, like a clock clicking, making her want to shoot it all at once.

"—wait." Saho said, "I want a picture of the great white shark in the aquarium, I didn't see it with my own eyes when I went there before, you can take a few more pictures of me." Great white sharks, that's so cool, there are not even great white sharks on the bottom of the sea, only some ugly lantern fish. Last time I went I actually missed the great white shark because of the penguin, the penguin is bad, the great white shark is great! ”

"Okay!" Sayuri responded, "I'll take a picture of it, take a lot of great white sharks, and send it to Anxinyuan." ”

Why don't you just send it to your phone? Do you have to send it over? What's so special about the washed out photos compared to the photos on your phone?

Early spike tilted his head.

But she felt that if she said that, Sister Sayuri would cry again. It's hard to understand the troubles of adults.

"Bye-bye." Saho raised his voice and said crisply, "Live a good life with your senior sister." ”

"Bye-bye." Sayuri waited for a moment before hanging up.

In the apartment room, Reio asked from the bathroom, "Is that Saho?" ”

"yes." Sayuri packed her things and prepared to leave for the aquarium, "I'll go out." ”

"There's still a lot of work to do, wash my clothes." "There are still a lot of suspicious witches' whereabouts that need to be filed in the file, as well as information about the Nightmare Girl, I'll see it after I'm done." ”

"It's rude - I'm out!" Sayuri's heart was pounding and she ran out.

……

……

In the evening, Saho and Soraya do astrology together.

Soraya is a god-like being in Saho's eyes, she knows everything, and she can tell all kinds of legends, like a living mythological dictionary.

As soon as she speaks, she fills Saho's brain with all sorts of messes, which is exactly in tune with Saho's thoughts.

"Stars." Soraya looked up at the night sky, fascinated and engrossed, as if with great conviction.

"Are they talking to you again? Why don't they talk to me? Saho asked.

"You have to know them, look up." Soraya pulled Hayaho over, and there was an oily aroma on her body, and the smell made Saho's brain confused, "Look, it's on the top of the outline of Mt. Kagura, shining with dazzling light, so clear, as if talking to us." It was Arcturus in the constellation of Shepuri, like a big orange. Behind, winding through the sky, it was the Big Dipper of Ursa Major hanging high in the air, looking at us indifferently. It's very similar to the starry sky I saw in Medina 950 years ago. ”

Soraya held Saho's shoulder with one hand and traversed the stars with the other.

Saho was engrossed, and she slowly came to know the stars.

Pale and massive is Alfraz, blue and dazzling Betelgeuse, and bright and terrifying, almost exploding Betelgeuse Orion, which, together with South River III and Sirius, forms the Great Winter Triangle.

Vibrant stars sparkle in the endless night, slowly gliding from one end of the horizon to the other.

"All the secrets are contained in the light cone, we are too far away from the stars, too lonely, the stars we see are essentially snapshots of history, and by the time we do, those stars may have long since perished. This monolithic universe is chillingly vast. Our Earth is so beautiful that today it is ready to launch rockets, but civilizations 50,000 light-years away will need to wait 50,000 years to see us enter the age of stars. Soraya said.

"Balabala." Saho said, "But the demons are our neighbors, so that we are not alone, and the demons deal with us every day, and we are not alone." ”

"Demons, demons are conscientious scavengers who are working to eradicate the troubles caused by humans and witches. Oh, I really want to go back and work with the demons, at least they have the foresight to do it. Soraya pondered.

"How did the devil have a vision again?" Saho didn't understand.

"That's to eradicate entropy growth and fundamentally avoid the collapse of all dimensions. Entropy represents chaos, and intelligent beings multiply as quickly as cockroaches. As long as the demons start a little slower, those civilizations, especially those with rare elements, will rapidly expand, filling the universe in the visible time, and causing chaos in the entire universe. When the time comes, the demons will have to face advanced civilizations and lose their troops. So it's better to do it quickly. Demons have great kindness to us, they extinguish more and more worlds, constantly reducing the expansion of entropy so that we can survive, be careful! Beware of entropy increases. Soraya muttered.

"I'm going to work for the demons too." "It's as if they're on the right path." ”

"Nope! Everyone else can, but you can't, because of your mother, the evil Shadow Witch! She had slain many demons, and Nazmi was the sixth demon with a name and surname, and became a stepping stone for her to break the throne. And the next demon she kills must be stronger than Nazmi, otherwise she won't be able to break the position. ”

"It's only the 10th time to break the position, and the 10th time to break the position, how strong the person my mother wants to kill is!" Saho was startled.

"If she wants to be a god, she must kill the demon god who is equal to the god, or the high-ranking lord who is only a line away from the demon god. But that kind of existence is the strong person that a star witch like me should be worshipping. We get some power from an out-of-the-ordinary existence...... Give the right gifts...... "Soraya said.

Mom is tracking down strong enemies, each one stronger than before, and completing the break. The 10th time is to kill the unimaginably powerful.

Saho touched his head. Mom is amazing.

"For what? To become stronger, there should always be a purpose. Saho asked.

"Maybe it's just for the sake of the mind." Soraya said mysteriously, "This is the way of thinking of the strong, the real strong no longer care about all the rules and morals designed by the outside world, and the only criterion for their behavior is 'self-respecting', and only pursue their own thoughts." If you don't have this mentality, you will never be able to become a strong person. ”

"It seems that I already have the mentality of a strong man." Saho was delighted.

She saw Soraya sitting next to the shack, as if waiting for someone.

"Who are you waiting for?" Saho asked.

"Zhang Su, I made an agreement with him, he wants to give me a new cub, just today." Soraya's hand groped in the air, her expression strange and gentle, as if she was hugging an invisible lover and an invisible baby.

"Click the record button on the left to start recording the game." Saho walked into the grass, turned on the recording function of his phone, and lay down, intending to record the epic exchange between Mr. Dasu and Soraya.

Zhang Su came to find Soraya at about half past seven.

He was so amazed at Soraya's adaptability that she set up a shack in a corner of the Anxin Courtyard that resembled a tent and lived in a dormitory, refusing Zhang Su's dormitory because she wanted to see the stars at night.

Her tent was surrounded by bottles and cans that she had gotten out of nowhere, as well as manuscripts, hookahs, tables and chairs, pen and paper, ancient coins and souvenirs, and a variety of sun-dried herbs and flowers.

"Soraya!" Zhang Su shouted.

"You're finally here." Soraya said excitedly, she got up slowly, moving like a slow, graceful feline, "Are you here to make a cub for me?" ”

"Of course." Zhang Su looked at her.
