I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 33 33. A Bad News
"Gently press down on the front end of the broomstick. Be careful here not to press down too quickly or too hard, lest you lose your balance."

"OK……"

According to Yue's instruction, Rui Ji pressed the broomstick, which became slightly hot after absorbing the sun, to an acute angle, with moderate force, and kept as calm and composed as possible.

"Keep pressing and don't let go, I will stop you when you descend to the right place."

"learn."

After adapting to the altitude of a few hundred meters, my heart is not so scared.

I was not afraid before because the height of the Ginza floating commercial area is only 2-300 meters from the ground, and the old-fashioned magic broom of the 2000 model is relatively easy to use.

Initially overcome the psychological barriers in terms of height, followed by physical efforts to adapt to the rhythm of the new broom.The witch's bloodline and identity can give Rui Ji a little more confidence, after all, she has already defeated most people without the deadliest fear of heights.

When the broom fell to a height of about 200 meters, Rui Ji received a pause command and stopped pressing down. The broom remained suspended when it was parallel to the ground.Then, she learned to climb with the same technique, and the practice effect was remarkable, and it took about half an hour before and after.

At the beginning, I was still afraid of falling, but as I became more proficient in the movements, the little worry I had left dissipated in the hot wind in the afternoon.

"Good job, you have a great talent for riding a motorized broom. Next, learn some practical skills. Time is tight. We'd better not leave Oyu no Mizu after dark, and try to make sure to be there at 06:30 return."

Being praised by the devil coach means that the next training content will be more rigorous.

Before starting the next stage of training, Rui Ji couldn't hold back that classic question after all.

"You...do you have a mother who works in Hawaii, or is it part of the paternal line? There is an unwritten saying in the witch world that a witch who can spend her childhood in Hawaii will become a great talent in the future."

"To tell you the truth, I learned how to ride a broom in Hawaii. Hawaii is a good place to learn, and you should learn more if you have the opportunity."

Month's answer confirmed that claim.

Two hours before sunset, Rui Ji was caught and practiced more skills on motorized brooms.Such as rapid ascent and descent, turning and dodging.These few skills have something in common with the usual magic-charged broom, and if you spend a little more time learning it, you won't be able to learn it.

Although the first movement is a bit unskilled, at least take off on the spot alone, and return to the designated place after circling the airspace is no problem.The desire to survive can stimulate the witch's subjective initiative and promote the speed of mastering a certain thing.

After flying the last five laps around the field, Yue whistled a few times to Rui Ji who was still full of enthusiasm.

"I have practiced here today, and the time is almost up."

"It's over."

Rui Ji held the broom between his legs, let go of his hands and stretched his waist, turned the direction of the broom, and flew towards Yuyu no Mizu Hot Spring Hotel in the same direction as Yue Yi.

Earlier the sky had been a great dome of azure, illuminated by the rays of the sinking sun, and the clouds floating in mid-air seemed to be burning.

Those lights flowed and floated in the gaps in the clouds, and finally fell on the lake and buildings, and were cut into countless fine light spots by the lush forests.

The colors of the night rush from afar to drive out the day.Households in Asahina were lit up and smoke was coming out.

The town at night follows a different pattern from the previous ones. The guests in the Oyunomizu Hotel are still there, and the waiter, the witch, shuttles between the corridors and the guest rooms, creating a busy scene.

It's as if someone turned on a TV show, pressed the start button, and filled a silent room with sounds.

This time they didn't put the broom back in the storage area of ​​the hot spring hotel.The possibility of someone staring at the shrine is not ruled out. The broom is easily tampered with. If it fails to fly at a critical moment, even if it has great skills, it is impossible to find a place to repair it before running.

The inability to fold is the biggest disadvantage of motorized brooms.Fortunately, the room can accommodate a lot of things, and two extra brooms are not in the way.

Rui Ji walked slowly, and Yue returned to the hotel lobby a few steps faster than her, and heard bad news from the waiter, the witch Asakura—the guest rooms were all full of 'people', and they could only sleep in the upstairs bedroom.Moreover, there is only one bed in that room, and the interior space is half smaller than the guest room.

The small space meant that she had to squeeze into a small room of less than 30 square meters with a witch she had just met.

"Why do you look like you're about to die?"

From the face of the temporary partner, Rui Ji saw strong resistance and irritability.

"There is bad news."

Yue recounted the words of the waitress Witch.

What the waiter meant was to tell them not to play around all the time, pretending to be guests and living in the guest room. It coincided with the Goddess Festival, and many tourists from other places came here especially to watch or participate in the festival.

Some strange words in regional ghost stories can also be understood as reminders and warnings. They are also part of the rules and are easily ignored.Ignoring trivial rules, the next step is probably to break them.

The last witch, Reimi Kusaka, who failed to leave Asahina Town and whose whereabouts are unknown, ended up like this precisely because she did not follow Mrs. Yoshino's advice.

Rui Ji thinks that they should abide by it, close the doors and windows like last night, and set up some protective measures at the door, such as warning runes.

"It might be a little noisy tonight. The shimen rope around the hotel gate has disappeared, and now only the door of the room is left, which is equivalent to shrinking the poisonous circle. Our safe area is getting smaller and smaller, and the strange talk may gather in the Outside."

She remembered that during the vigil this morning, there was a strange story that rubbed her face against the door panel, trying to deceive the witch's five senses to create a spiritual penetration effect.

The influence caused by one or two ghost stories can still be resisted. If there are too many, even the "Witch's Meditation Charm" will have little effect. At this time, it is necessary to use meditation to get rid of distracting thoughts and calm down the body and mind.

"I thought you would be terribly scared, after all, it's the first time I've entered into regional ghost stories."

Yue knelt down in front of the low table where she was eating, and faced Rui Ji, ready to raise her hand to pour a glass of wine.

In the evening it was dinner time at the hotel, and the waiters cooked a table of sumptuous dishes for them as usual, and also prepared wine brewed with cherry blossom petals and several other special materials.

The special materials are powdered from dragon scales and teeth of wyverns, crystallized tears of unicorns and blood of white-haired griffins.

Smelling the smell of wine, Rui Ji immediately searched his memory for the unique effect pointed to by this formula, and immediately stopped it.

"It's better not to drink."

"why?"

"This kind of wine is used to promote the body's blood circulation, increase the temperature, and indirectly affect the air temperature and humidity. It is suitable for witches who just got married on the night. Leaving illness."

Usually hotels only prepare things like this for witch lovers or couples.
