So, I wish you good health and all the best in the new year!

The following is an extra day, Miss Sophie on the May Day.

……

……

……

"I've heard that Wizard Howl's castle has appeared on the other side of the wasteland, and I don't know if he's going to go to war.

Fanny said that there was a little girl in the south of town who had been kidnapped by Howl! ”

"The wizard, known as the Sea Demon, landed in Hober Harbor and looked very angry.

Some say that he even broke his captain's hat, and those guests say that the captain's hat is a status symbol of a captain..."

Bang Bang!

Knuckles tapped on the wooden door, interrupting Sophie's silent conversation with the hat in her hand.

"Miss Sophie, the store has been cleaned up, come out with us!" The woman was carrying a precious handbag that she had always cherished and asked Sophie in the workplace.

It's Mayday, and even though the kingdom is currently at war, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for relaxing and having fun during the rare festival.

Or, it is precisely because the haze of war has been pressing down on the whole country a few days ago, so this May Festival, people wantonly release their inner depression, causing the streets to be more lively than in previous years.

Sophie stopped the needle and thread in her hand and looked at Betty: "I'm going to finish sewing this hat, I wish you all a good time." ”

Betty gave a helpless expression, "Alright then, let's go first." ”

As she spoke, she beckoned to the other girls in the store, "Let's go." ”

At that moment, someone said, "Look there, it's a moving castle!" ”

"Where?"

"Oh, really, it's so close!"

"I don't know if I'll get to Hal or in the city"

Sophie also looked out the window, and it was a huge castle that looked like a mess from the outside, or a house that was stacked up in a haphazard way.

But what stood out most about it was the trembling slender legs under the castle, on which the whole castle was now slowly walking into the clouds of the wasteland, and disappeared in a single glance.

Hal was clearly hot in the girls' circles, and their conversation went from outside the studio to the downstairs hall, before slowly disappearing.

Sophie, on the other hand, focused her attention on the hat that had not yet been sewn in her hand.

She has always been like this, as the eldest sister in the family, she does not have the habit of longing.

In a few moments, she quickly sewed the hat on her hand.

Putting her hat away, she put on the earthy yellow hat she usually carried, unbuttoned her apron and went to the main hall of the hat shop on the first floor, showing two bright smiles in the mirror.

Then, with a smile on her face, she pressed her hat back to cover her face.

Jingle bells!

The hanging bell rings.

Sophie looked at the door, and a man stepped in.

She wanted to tell the other party that the store was temporarily closed today, but looking at the other party's golden pupils as sharp and dazzling as the sun, she couldn't say no.

Clean and neat and lightly attached to the man's body. A dark wooden cane with a golden glow from the wood grain.

The black broken hair looks very energetic, and the face with no flaws is embellished with a gentle smile.

Sophie looked at Mu Shi, and he was also looking at the other party.

She is indeed a very good-looking girl... However, it seems to be a bit cowardly?!

"Hello, I want to customize a hat." The man said, "A tricorne, not a lady's hat with a big feather." Leather, there are also some badge requirements, do you need to memorize them? ”

Sophie reacted, nodded repeatedly, and walked to the front desk: "Please come this way." ”

The man followed, his gaze wandering among the finished hats.

Sophie took out a small notepad: "Sir, may I ask your name." ”

"Muen Jones." The man replied.

Sophie wrote down the man's name in the notebook, and then asked again, "Okay, then please tell us more about your needs." ”

Mu En has a lot of requirements, with a special badge imprint, a large brim, and a system that is not too rigid to make himself look like a certain naval captain in the kingdom.

After ten minutes or so, Sophie memorized all the requirements and nodded, "Please wait a minute." ”

After a while, she walked back with a prop that looked like a stunner on her head.

"Mr. Jones, this is a head-shaped gauge, and I'll put it on your head."

Mu En nodded: "Please." ”

Taking advantage of this time, he also started talking to Sophie.

"Are you alone in this shop?"

Sophie replied to him while adjusting the instrument: "No, today is May Day, and the other clerks are out." ”

"Looks like I'm delaying you, can I ask your name?" Mu En said.

"No, my name is Sophie Haight."

"Haidt?! Is this shop owned by an elder in your family? ”

It's called Haidt's Hat Shop.

Sophie gently lifted the girth gauge: "My father opened it here twenty years ago, but now my mother is in charge. ”

The head circumference was not measured for a long time, and Sophie's hands and feet were very neat, and it took a while to complete the measurement.

"Mr. Muen, what is your address?"

Mu En stood up and picked up his cane: "I'll come and get it myself, other than that..."

As if by magic, a shamrock badge suddenly appeared in his hand.

"This is for you, and I hope it will bring you good luck, even if it is only for today."

As he spoke, Muen let go of her cane, stepped forward, and pinned it to Sophie's collar without saying a word.

The cane didn't fall, just waiting for Muen to hold it in his hand again.

After making sure that the brooch was pinned, Muen turned his head: "Goodbye, Sophie!" ”

By the time the girl reacted, the man had already left. Looking at the constantly shaking hanging bell, the girl was full of doubts, and then looked at the brooch on her neckline.

It was worth a lot of money at first glance, and reminded Sophie of what Petty often said about enamel craftsmanship, which is the latest royal capital trend.

"It's... Quirky but generous sir..."

She just shook her head and didn't think about it anymore. Put away the order book and leave the store.

……

……

At night, the town of Makchipin.

Sophie returned to the hat shop and stood at the door, silently taking out the keys.

Tonight, she looked worried, and the key was inserted twice in a row before opening the door.

Today's journey is really a bit fantastical. Magicians in bizarre costumes, spooky puppet chases, festive streamers and balloons fluttering in the air...

In addition, her sister Letty's words also made her feel distracted.

There were three sisters in the family, she was the eldest sister, and then her younger sister Letty, who was an apprentice at the cake shop, she went to visit today.

The youngest sister, Martha, was born to her current stepmother and owner of the hat shop.

Because the two younger sisters have been dealing with each other for a long time, as the eldest sister, she often worries about them.

At the same time, as the eldest sister, one of the most neglected characters, these have also led to her always having an inferiority complex and an indifferent attitude towards life.

She remembered that two months earlier, her mother had told them about their future.

Sophie continues to work as an apprentice in a hat shop so that she can continue the famous Haidt hat shop in the future.

Letty made it clear that she wanted to continue her studies – and her mother sent her to an apprenticeship at a cake shop.

Martha, her own daughter, was sent to the royal capital's magic school to learn magic.

Sophie is not interested in this arrangement, not because she loves making hats, but because... She didn't know what she liked.

Maybe she has been worried about her family, but at the age of 18, she ignored her own thoughts when she was a child, and now she has no thoughts of her own!

Yes, it doesn't matter whether you sew a hat, make a cake, or become a magician.

If it weren't for her two younger sisters, she might really have been like this and "didn't care" forever.

Her mind couldn't help but think of what her sister said in the afternoon, sitting on a folded box:

"We've swapped identities!"

"I'm actually Martha, and it's Letty who goes to learn magic."

"Mom thinks it's a good way to learn magic, but I don't want to."

"Martha doesn't want to make cakes either, she wants to keep learning. So we secretly swapped identities. ”

"I don't want to listen to her, I want to live my own life." Letty didn't care about it, and she was so well-behaved at home that she was like two people!

At that moment, Sophie suddenly discovers that she never knew her two younger sisters.

At parting, Letty, no, it should be said that Martha asked her.

"What do you want to do in the future?"

"I mean, wouldn't you really intend to sew a hat for the rest of your life?"

"You must think about it, sister."

……

Lighting the oil lamp, Sophie's mind lingered in her sister's words, and then drifted to the gentle magician she had met today.

Bite~

The hanging bell rings.

Sophie turned her head, a little confused, she remembered that she had locked the door.

A tall, fat woman walked in, fat layered on her neck, with greasy reflections.

"The store is closed, and I'm about to lock the door, I'm sorry." Sophie said politely.

"Cheesy shop, cheesy hat~" The woman's voice is unusually thick and makes people feel uncomfortable.

The eyes, which were narrow because of the accumulation of fat, peeked out of the brim of the hat, and the cloudy yellow pupils looked at Sophie like a hyena examining its prey: "You are also very vulgar! ”

Sophie was a little dissatisfied: "This was originally a small market shop. ”

She put down her hat, straightened her waist, and walked past the fat woman with her head held high, until she reached the gate, and opened the door: "You better go back!" ”

The fat woman turned around: "Dare to drive the wilderness witch out of the door, it's not a small daring." ”

"Witch of the Wilderness?" Sophie looked at the tall and fat woman in horror, and before she could react, there was a sudden noise at the door, and when she looked, she saw two black monsters in red manservant outfits blocking the door.

This... It's the monster that hunted her and that blonde magician this afternoon!!

Suddenly, the Witch of the Wilderness became translucent and swooped towards Sophie like a ghost.

"Say hello to Hal for me."

Sophie had never seen such a scene, and instinctively arched herself.

Suddenly, the shamrock badge on her collar suddenly erupted with a burst of green light, enveloping her body.

The vibrant green light shielded Sophie like a protective shield, and the Witch of the Wilderness hovered in front of Sophie, surprised.

"It's... Muen Jones's Means!! You hat girl can still know him?! ”

Her heart was shocked, but she didn't show it on her face, she just said with the corners of her mouth twitching: "Hehe, I was the court mage of the kingdom decades ago, how could such a small means resist me?!" ”

She raised her fat hand, and a huge amount of magic power turned into black gas gushing out, enveloping Sophie's body, intertwining with the green light.

The green light gradually contracted under her entanglement, and at the same time, a smug smile appeared on her face!

Sophie's body couldn't move at all, and she could only watch in horror as the green light emanating from the armband on her collar clashed with the black aura of the Wilderness Witch.

In the next moment, the green light suddenly shrank, turning into an extremely dazzling point of light, and before the Witch of the Wilderness could react, it shot towards her head like a bullet.

Bang –

As if she had been hit by a cannonball, the witch's fat and bloated body flew upside down and smashed straight into the wall!

She struggled to get up, but she saw green leaves growing out of her huge coiled hair, and it seemed as if a branch was about to be pulled out from under her face, which was extremely hideous and terrifying!

At the same time, Sophie also noticed the witch's gloomy complexion.

The Witch of the Wilderness gritted her teeth as she looked at the shamrock badge in front of Sophie's collar.

This is not a pure amulet at all, the amulet is just an illusion!

The powerful attack spell hidden under the green protective magic is the true ability of this badge!

She was slammed into the fight.

If it weren't for the fact that she was going to use this woman to catch Hal, she really wanted to pinch the other party to death now!!

"Muen!!"

She stiffened to her feet, turning into a ghost again, passing through Sophie's body.

This time, there were no more obstacles.

She stood at the gate and looked coldly at Sophie, who was hunched over.

"Say hello to Hal for me. In the meantime, tell Munn Jones that he's dead! ”

After slamming the door shut, the Wilderness Witch's complexion changed suddenly, and she still had the proud cold posture she had before.

She looked flustered, she had long lost her dignity just now, and in a panic, she took out a small jar from her cuff and poured it into her mouth.

At the same time, he also stepped into the small sedan chair outside the store and gave orders to the puppet!

"Let's go! Come on! ”

The spell on that shamrock badge was far more terrifying than she had shown, and now she could feel her internal organs stiffen and her skin begin to grow dull and chapped.

If you don't deal with it, I'm afraid it will turn into an immobile tree in a few moments.

There was another thing that made her panic.

A few days ago, because of some problems in the war, I conspired with the people of the Wizard Society of the enemy country and put the other party together in the open sea!

Didn't the neighborhood rumor that he was in Hubber Harbor right now, and his face was full of anger when he was seen?!

Also, how did he know he was here? Prophecy?!

I'm afraid that if I delay a little longer, the other party will kill me.

Hal she's not afraid!

Mu En, she also... Not too scared!

But if both of them are in this town now, Muen still picks up Hal to make trouble for himself.

Escape!!
