I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 118. 117. Internal Conflict

Taking out 5 yen at once is definitely the most generous Jingliu has done in these years.

"I'm dreaming?"

Rui Ji took a bite of the watermelon rind, the jerky and hard taste was not fake.

Jingliu patted her on the shoulder.

"Wake up, it's true. Also, senior Fujiyong came here just now, and you were not at home, so she left a cardboard box and went back. The cardboard box is in your room, remember to open it to see what's inside. I'll take a shower first, You talk slowly with Senior Unread."

After finishing the remaining watermelons on the tray, Rui Ji and Feng Buyue went back to their rooms.

Walking into the room, Rui Ji saw a brand new large cardboard box on the tatami mat, with the logo, address and phone number of Tsutaya Bookstore on the outside of the box.After a round of careful inspection, she found that the sealing tape had not been scratched and there was no trace of additional pasting of new tape.

Could it be that Fujinaga bought the book and lent the book to himself before he had time to read it?

The young lady has a lot of things to do every day, and her ambition is not in alchemy. It is normal for the book to be piled up without reading it.

Gently slide the wand along the centerline of the tape with cutting magic, and the carton makes a slight rubbing sound.Open the closed cardboard, and on the top is a bookstore's delivery list, with the names of several books in the list.

In addition to the "Alchemy of Ancient Egypt" that Rui Ji borrowed by name, there are several additional books. "Level 5 Spells a Witch Must Learn", "Arabic Dictionary", "Notes on Arabic Alchemy Terms" and "Comparison of Alchemy Material Names" are all hardcover books that Rui Ji felt was too expensive after struggling with it, and was reluctant to pay for it. , there are a few thin magic books at the bottom,
Feng Buyue said that these books are not necessary to buy, it is better to buy them, which are beneficial and harmless to learning alchemy.The information on the Internet is sometimes not necessarily more complete than the books, and there are gaps and mistakes.

The texture of a paper book is more comfortable and irrefutable than flipping through the densely packed posts on the web.

The bottom line of the list lists the total price of these books, a total of 342610 yen, which is equivalent to a month's income of a witch who just graduated from university and found a job.

"It's no longer a matter of course..."

Detailed purchase list, brand new date, purchase time was two hours ago, and each book has a plastic seal.There are indications that the eldest lady stayed in the bookstore for a long time after the cram school, and specially selected a lot of books related to alchemy learning and delivered them in person.

The top-notch witches in classic film and television works are all solidified, arrogant and unreasonable. They like to sneer at the heroines who are poor in learning, and give all-round blows to satisfy their distorted psychology of trampling on the weak, and build their confidence and joy on others. On The Witch's Pain.

A rich witch with such a noble and upright character like Fujinaga, who doesn't put on airs, is a rare creature.

Feelings of emotion and guilt welled up in his chest at the same time, colliding fiercely, Rui Ji put down the "Alchemy of Ancient Egypt" in his hand, and tried to send a message to Fujinaga.

【have you slept? 】

During the holiday, Fujinaga will study late and wake up very early in the morning. She should sleep between 3:6 and [-]:[-] in the morning. The possibility of her going to bed early suddenly cannot be ruled out.

After 1 minute, a new message pops up on the phone screen.

【reading a book.Did you read the book delivered to your house last night? 】

[Sorry, I was busy with other things last night, so I couldn't wait for you at home in person. 】

[I heard from Jingliu that a witch lived in your house, is she a relative? 】

Fujinaga, who was knocking on the phone, had a solemn expression.An unprecedented sense of crisis surrounded her. It was the first time that another witch approached Rui Ji, and she was a witch from another country.

It is said that Ome is no match for the sky, and countless animation works are promoting the charm of the witch of the sky, and Xiao Shuran can only be persecuted.

The popular British novel on the table was wonderfully written, but she didn't care to read it, and her progress was stuck at the chapter she had read an hour ago.This book tells the story of a witch who is hesitant and dare not boldly pursue her beloved young girl. In the end, she can only watch her beloved step into the marriage hall with other witches.

The plot is lingering and pathetic, without too many swordsman plots. It depicts the seemingly ordinary but actually turbulent life among witches with delicate brushstrokes. It is long but not procrastinating, and the ending is an open ending. I met a beautiful woman on the deck.

Whether the heroine has a new relationship with the witch she met depends on whether the author is willing to continue writing.

In order to urge the author to update, Fujinaga bought a few tons of blades yesterday and asked the housekeeper to anonymously mail them to the author's residence in London, expressing his eagerness to see the sequel.

She is not the first witch to do this. Thousands of witch readers who are dissatisfied with the ending of the story have mailed the blade one after another. Except for the first one, the others are copycats.

The plot in the novel made Fujinaga feel pessimistic, and she was afraid that she would also fall into the situation of the heroine.

[It's a friend, the witch I met in the regional ghost story last time. 】

When I saw the news, my heart skipped a beat.

The most worrying thing finally happened. The witch of unknown origin is likely to take away the person she cherishes.The engagement talks went well, and the fiancée and the two mothers were eager to finalize this "beautiful event", and wanted to arrange the engagement ceremony for the second half of the year.

Feeling that her internal friction was getting worse, she opened the drawer with trembling hands, picked up the anti-depressant potion from a corner of the drawer, and took out the small bottle of sea blue transparent potion next to it, and placed it on the table.

A label written in Greek was pasted on the body of the blue vial, which translates to [Sweet Dream Potion].

It comes from the hand of a Greek witch who lives on the island of Santorini, facing the Aegean Sea.Greek witches are naturally romantic, pursuing freedom and beauty, and their research on potions also tends to be spiritual.The dream potion allows the user to fall asleep quickly and dream about the things that are most desired in the heart.

The dream that I had at Rui Ji's house that time was not a phenomenon caused by natural falling asleep, and it was inseparably related to the dream potion.

Fujinaga used a dropper to draw a tube of dose and dropped it into the iced Americano at hand.The sweetness of the potion and the bitterness of the iced American blend together, and the crystal blue color floats on the surface of the coffee, like a rippling sea.She drank an entire bottle of antidepressant potion first, then enjoyed potion-infused coffee.

Another good night tonight.

【Good night.Those books are given to you, I hope to see you who won the Olympic Alchemy Competition. 】

After replying to the last message, Fujinaga lay on the bed, ending his painful waking state early.

The night was getting dark, Rui Ji couldn't continue to disturb her, so she ended with "Good Night" and continued to use cutting magic to open the plastic cover of the new book and taste it one by one.The hardcover book made of high-grade printing paper and high-quality ink overflows with a charming light aroma when flipping.

Fragrance lifts the reader's thoughts and thoughts, and loads it into the vast sea of ​​paper and words.The thirst for knowledge turns into oars, driving the boat to a distance.

She was completely attracted by the alchemy written by the Egyptian witch, and lingered in the wonderful world composed of Arabic words. When she looked up, the hour hand had already pointed to four o'clock.Reluctantly closing the cover, Rui Ji turned off the light and got into bed, hugging and falling asleep in the form of a black cat, Crescent Moon.

Today is a rest day, Rui Ji sleeps until the sun is high before getting up.A deliveryman witch in the uniform of Sagawa Express is riding a griffin with a container on wheels behind the griffin's tail.The container is full of packages to be delivered today, and one of them will be delivered to Sakuma Shrine.

The uniform of the delivery officer Witch is very distinctive. The iconic blue and white striped navy style polo shirt makes the recipient feel refreshed oncoming.

"Miss Mizuki Sakuma, here is your package."

"coming."

Rui Ji was practicing magic in the yard, and when he heard the voice of the witch, he immediately put the staff into his belt and went to the door to receive the courier.She has no recent impression of online shopping, and the things may be bought by Jingliu.

"Please sign here."

The witch pointed to the blank area that required the stamp or signature of the recipient, Rui Ji signed the name with a quill, and glanced at the face sheet pasted on the outside of the carton.

Whether the items to be sent are books or intra-city delivery.

"Thank you, hard work."

"You're welcome."

The busy courier witch packed the boxes and flew away to deliver goods to other blocks in Shinjuku District. Rui Ji carefully opened the cartons as usual.The sender was not Fujinaga, but the witch Udora Bianchi, the client who met last night.

There was a surprise in the courier box—the magic book "Deep Diving Magic" that Rui Ji had been thinking about. A greeting card fell out of the title page of "Deep Diving Magic", with only two lines of words on it.

"In order to make the next deep diving trip enjoyable enough, I specially prepared a magic book suitable for you and sent it. I hope you will like this little gift."

She never thought of getting it in this form, without any effort.

"She described a magic book that is more expensive than those piles of alchemy books as a 'little gift'. This person is outrageous."

I seem to have the qualities to attract rich women and witches. I received expensive magic books last night and today. Is there a possibility that I will rely on my face for food in the future and hang out with rich women and witches every day?

According to legend, the rich witch has weird hobbies, and likes to bully and abuse the witches in her care, such as forcing them to eat handmade mapo tofu with maximum spiciness.Add a lot of special pepper and red oil, and sometimes sprinkle a little chili powder. After eating, the witch will feel uncomfortable and cannot go out for a long time, and she will be sick in bed.

It is not worthwhile to cause health problems for money and lose dignity.

Rui Ji shook his head, put aside the idea of ​​relying on rich women and witches, and used magic to dispose of the cardboard boxes of Sagawa Express Logistics, sneaking like a prisoner who came to a shrine to steal things. The book "Deep Diving Magic" is famous for its rarity, and it is difficult for ordinary witches to buy even if they have money. The market price has been fired to tens of millions of yen.

Tens of millions of yen can buy a small-scale empty island in Tokyo, but it can accommodate a family of several people. Building a house on an empty island is cheaper than buying commercial housing on land in Tokyo.

She has a lot of experience that a thin magic book can be sold for such an exaggerated price.

No wonder Snowy Owl specifically mentioned that "how much benefit you can get from the task object depends on your ability".

I'm afraid that if you squeeze too much, you will be hated, and there will be unpleasant troubles.

A rich witch is most afraid of being missed by others, and she will not trust her partners.Giving expensive magic books is just for diving into the deep sea and pulling people together. She doesn't believe that there can be a real friendship between ordinary working witches and capitalist witches.

Rui Ji accepted "Deep Diving Magic" with complicated emotions, first read it quickly, and then hid it in the innermost part of the cabinet, covering it with the sealed white fox mask.

The shadow cast by the sealed item is just enough to cover the magic book the size of a pocket light novel, and Jingliu will not be able to find it for a while.

It was arranged in the afternoon to purchase items needed for the trip with Feng Buyue, and she had other arrangements in the morning.Jingliu went to participate in an excursion organized by the club, and Ruiji was the only one at home.

She hid in the room and secretly read the alchemy book sent by Fujinaga, and hid the book when she heard the sound, learning with fear.Fortunately, she was lucky, Feng Buyue came back before Jingliu.

On the second day of the holiday, Feng Buyue went to climb Mount Aso, took some close-up photos of the eruption, and successfully reached the summit to the crater.I ate lunch on the return flight, so I used instant noodles and rice balls to deal with it.

It was just two o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the shrine, so it was suitable to arrange some light work.

"Do you want to go shopping now? Many witches will come to the supermarket in the evening on weekends to snap up special products. It is best to avoid the special sale time."

"It's just that I have nothing to do, so I should go for a walk."

Rui Ji took down the broomstick from the broom holder in the entrance, sat astride skillfully, and lifted off together with Feng Buyue, heading towards the Ginza Floating Commercial Area.During the summer vacation, the streets of the floating business district are overcrowded, and even the broom storage has to wait for a vacancy.

They rode brooms and flew at low speed among the numerous shops, picking out the items they wanted while flying.

In terms of the amount of items stored in the closed storage space, the necessity of shopping this time is not great.Acting has to be a complete set. At the beginning, the trip to Hakone was just an excuse. After a night of thinking, it became a practical content. Feng Buyue planned to postpone it until after Rui Ji completed the deep diving mission in Bermuda.

The scenery of Hakone is beautiful, and there is no loss in visiting it several times.

During the flight, the two witches also discussed their itinerary in the Hakone hot spring village.Rui Ji is very much in favor of enjoying genuine natural hot springs immediately on the day after the intense and exciting expedition to the Sea of ​​Death.

She has never been to the famous Mount Fuji in her two lifetimes. The joy of climbing to the top is really more attractive than turning over to the small hill behind the shrine.

Feng Buyue's purpose was very clear. He took Rui Ji to shuttle among the thousands of shops in the Ginza business district, flew into the deep alleys, and stopped at the corner of the area.

The deeper the shop is hidden, the lower the rent, and accordingly the harder it is to find, and the business may be greatly reduced.

The blocks in front are full of resplendently decorated European-style shops, or simple and elegant modern shops. This corner magic supply shop is a genuine Middle Eastern style, with white bricks and tiles, and a round arched door. There is only one person in the shop. A witch who doubles as a store clerk and store manager.

The witch wears a black Middle Eastern robe and a white veil, and the face hidden under the veil is unreal.

"What do you two want?"

Behind the veil came the voice of a mature woman.
