Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 91
Winter in Backlund rarely snows, but this does not affect the unbearably cold winter here.Humid and cold, people don't want to go out after entering the house.Therefore, if there is no comfort brought by the special meaning of purchasing New Year’s goods, even going out shopping with a good-looking opposite sex is not a pleasant thing in this weather.

Altaïr raised his head slightly and yawned, and suddenly felt a burst of cool air go straight down his neck to the inside of the cotton-padded jacket, and quickly retracted into the clothes.

"Are witches also afraid of the cold?"

Seeing his appearance, Venata asked with some amusement.

"Haven't fully turned into a witch..."

Altaïr muttered something.

Although he has now completed three rituals, unlocked the ability to control hair and black magic, and his body has been further feminized, it does not mean that his resistance to extreme environments has increased much.

Besides, being resistant to the cold doesn't mean I have to like being frozen... Altaïr rubbed his face that was about to lose consciousness from the cold wind, glanced at Venata, and at the same time put his Put your hands into the sleeves of your coat.

Venata, who originally lived in the northern village of the Feysac Empire, naturally didn't care about this degree of cold. Today, she didn't even wear cotton clothes, but a rather neutral casual clothes, which accentuated the curve of her waist. Composed of blended fabrics, the white padded cotton shirt set off the black batwing bow tie more appropriately, and Altaïr was completely different from Altaïr who wrapped himself tightly in the Chesterford coat.

Venata was standing on the side of the road and walking, although her face was a little red from the cold, but this change was not obvious to her, whose skin was originally healthy and wheat-colored.Noticing Altaïr's gaze, she shifted her gaze away somewhat awkwardly, and looked at the ice hanging on the tree in the distance.

Sure enough, the ability to charm also depends on the weather.In winter, only Feysac's girl can be called a witch in the ice and snow.As for his current appearance... Although it was natural to do so when he was a man, but now that he is becoming a witch, Altaïr only feels that his current appearance is a bit like a village girl.

Altaïr put his hand to his mouth and let out a sigh.The bracelet on that hand has been removed and a new bracelet has been replaced.Also removed were the anklets, although Altaïr did not bring new ones, nor did he intend to.

"Fusac's black peas, since the "Corn Act" was abolished, the price seems to have dropped a lot. Not many people are doing this kind of loss-making business now, right?"

Taking advantage of the short time when his fingers regained consciousness, Altaïr took out the list, "You have really picky tastes, now I guess it takes more than an hour to walk around and talk less."

"An extra hour for shopping? It's just to buy some food, can you have an extra hour?"

Venata is skeptical.

"Of course, we estimate that we will have to go to at least...well, seven to eight stores this time. Counting the time spent on the road, it will take at least three or four hours."

Altaïr recalled it carefully, and said.

"Will it take that long?"

Venata's face froze, and she hurried over to take the list in Altaïr's hand and read it carefully.

On the list, there are dozens of items ranging from Intis' condiments to Loen's local winter clothing, as well as various special ingredients. There are several condiments that Venata has never even heard of.

"I said, isn't it a long time before the New Year, and you have to buy so many things now?"

Venata's voice trembled a little.

"Of course, during the New Year, not only many stores will be closed for rest, but the few remaining stores will temporarily increase their prices a lot. Although I am not very short of money, after all, the stocks that are the source of dividends are my real deal. You can't treat the sacrifices of those guys casually if you save them from black jobs."

Altaïr said quite seriously.

"What kind of fallacies are you talking about? Even if those dead people know about it, they won't be happy..."

Venata said weakly, "Besides, the store will increase the price during the New Year. I have also passed the New Year after I came here, why didn't I feel it?"

Altaïr gave her a blank look.

"Can you have some awareness of your own identity? My identity as a killer is kept secret, but your identity as a gangster is not kept secret from the eyes of those store owners. Whether you don't know how to cook or not, do you know the price? How much is it, do you think those stall owners dare to increase the price of the things you want to buy?"

"But, but, those clothes are clearly priced, even if it's the New Year, it's not so good, so the price will increase like this? Can't we buy it next time? Or, let's go buy a piece of clothing first..."

Venata is still making the last effort.

"Ah, this is not impossible..."

Altaïr thought for a moment, then nodded. "But the market we're going to now doesn't have a clothing store, and the nearest clothing store is two streets away..."

Venata: "w(Д)w"

Altaïr: "(￣_￣)"

"I really can't help it..." Altaïr sighed, "How did you spend the last New Year? Could it be that the cold weather in Backlund didn't leave a deep enough impression on your heart after a whole year? ?”

"I, I just didn't expect you to stay outside for so long... I don't go out very much at this time in previous years, and the chore maid helped me deliver things."

Venata admitted with some embarrassment.

"Then find a coffee shop and stay for a while..."

Altaïr shook his head helplessly. "I'll go over there first and buy you a winter coat. What size do you wear?"

"what?"

Venata didn't react for a moment, and then her face turned even redder.

"Okay, tell me the size quickly, and I'll go to the street next to you to buy clothes for you."

Altaïr spread his hands impatiently.

"Yes..." Venata blushed, and announced three numbers in Altaïr's ear.

Altaïr was stunned: "I'm asking what size you wear, 11, 12, or 13, what are you talking about?"

In Ruen, a size 11 is equivalent to a height of 165 cm.

The atmosphere suddenly became visibly awkward.Compared with Venata, Altaïr and Venata live a much more regular life, and the quality of life is also much higher. When buying clothes, they tend to buy ready-made clothes that are often worn by the middle class. When buying, they only need to quote a size; And Venata understands that the clothes are custom-made clothes sewn by small tailors in the East District, and the complete measurements need to be taken.

Altaïr laughed dryly, and quickly pointed to a coffee shop on the street.

"Go ahead and sit down, I'll be right back!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly left the market as if fleeing, and even used the ability of an assassin in the middle.

(Today there may be only one update. I have to consider whether to add some stomachache plots to improve the character design. After all, in the early stage, there was a rhythm for the performance, and the heroine as a hunter did not stand up. I am also very helpless about this. I can only changed in subsequent episodes)
