I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 4 4. Ginza of Witch World

Ginza, a major business district in the central district of Tokyo, Japan, is also the most expensive place in Asia. Whether it is consumption or the scale of the business district, it is at the forefront in Tokyo. There are countless witches who are good at doing business here, and they set up shops selling materials and magic books. shop.

The huge population flow and the astonishing speed of money circulation make it one of the three most prosperous centers in the world alongside the Champs Elysees in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York.

It is Rui Ji's first destination after traveling to the Witch World.

The urban areas in Japan are divided into the ground part and the sky part. The main residents of the floating city in the sky are witches, and most of the shops and residences of witches are in the sky.

Living off the ground has many advantages, and Japan is relatively small in size.The Meiji Restoration was a major turning point. After the Witch War II, countless high-rise buildings rose from the ground, and the roads became narrower and narrower.

Floating island technology was widely spread after the Witch World War II, which greatly reduced the pressure on Japan's land, and a large number of witches moved to the floating island.

The first floating island appeared in Japan in the Nara era. At that time, Japan widely absorbed advanced cultural technologies from all over the world and sent witch missions abroad. One of the missions completed the task brilliantly and brought back the manufacturing of floating islands from the West. Technology.

The witch who obtained the floating island technology was hailed as the "pioneering witch" by the people at that time.There are very few witches who can obtain independent titles. Only with great personal achievements can they be recognized by the United Nations Witch Secretariat and awarded titles that match their achievements.

Although the great pioneering witch has long since left, the floating island technology she brought back and improved has had a considerable impact on Japanese society, especially the life of the witch.

The higher and farther you fly, the wider your field of vision.

In the endless blue sky, any place can become a broom flying path.There are a large number of road signs projected by holographic devices along the way, and the content on them includes the station ahead and the flight speed limit.

The text will scroll in real time, informing the flying witch of Tokyo's weather, outdoor temperature and precautions today, and the advertisements of major companies and brands will also be played in sequence, so as not to miss any opportunity to promote their products.

Like Rui Ji, there are many Japanese witches galloping in the air on broomsticks, including all age groups.

There are young witches who are wearing formal robes and rushing to participate in the activities, there are also middle and high school witches who have just finished cram school in jk uniforms, and you can even see a witch who is wearing a kimono and shopping for vegetables. Vegetable basket.

In the distance is a dizzying world.

A huge floating island, above which is the super large floating comprehensive commercial area newly emerging in Ginza in recent years.Row upon row of skyscrapers and shops, the buildings can no longer be described as straight into the sky, they are built on the clouds.

The outer side of the floating island is surrounded by empty rails, on which is the most advanced floating train.There are several large floating airships near the airport, and the passengers board and disembark in order.

There are also floating buses and floating taxis for transportation. Some witches with financial conditions will buy cars with flying capabilities, or prepare exclusive mounts.

There are a few witches riding griffins next to them. The golden griffins look pretty cool, but I don't know how much they cost.

Most witches choose to fly on a broom, which is light and fast, and can give you the comfort of a ride.The feeling of being able to overlook the entire airspace without any shelter gave Rui Ji a strong sense of agitation in his body and soul.

"It's incredible... This is too powerful. This is a world where witch culture dominates..."

As long as it is the first time to see this situation, people will make the same exclamation.Once the fantasy world came true, no amount of words could describe her joy now.

The floating area of ​​Ginza in the distance is beckoning to her, like a young woman with gorgeous clothes, unrestrained and enthusiastic personality, and exquisite appearance.The outside of the tall building is accompanied by huge or slender billboards, which are extremely rich in color and content.

Many elements leap into view at the same time, making it even more dazzling and overwhelming.The daytime alone was already shocking enough, Rui Ji couldn't imagine how grand the Ginza would be at night.

"I hope the poor 1 yen in my pocket will not be consumed too quickly. If I go to a bar and have a beer, it should be affordable."

Rui Ji stared blankly at the huge billboard that was gorgeous enough to blind him. On it was an entertainer witch, holding a can of red beer in his hand.

It was one of the most famous beer brands in Japan - Kirin Beer.Even in the witch world line, there will be things that communicate with the normal world line.

The entertainer witch has a natural smile, with a unique and undeniable persuasion, and reads the lines requested by the advertiser.I have tried this kind of beer Ruiji. It is golden in color, rich in wheat aroma, and less bitter than ordinary beer. It is suitable for people who don't usually drink much.

After the beer commercial was played, it was followed by advertisements for several tutoring institutions for Witch Course.

It wasn't that Rui Ji was interested in the advertisement, so he stopped to watch it.There are a large number of witches and vehicles flying in the airspace of Ginza, and the diversion method is the same as that on land. Witches riding brooms also need to abide by the traffic rules in the air.

The traffic lights built on the small floating plots are the same as the ground, divided into three colors: red, yellow and green.It is necessary to set up traffic lights in the Ginza airspace. There are countless witches and vehicles passing by every day. There will be accidents in the airspace without rules. Sometimes the flying witches will collide with each other or hit the flying vehicles, causing even greater chaos. .

The traffic light screen began to count down. When the red number turned to 0, the indicator light just turned green. The witches who had been waiting for "a long time" couldn't wait to rush forward, leaving behind cool phantoms like the tails of comets.

There is a place to store brooms in the airport, and the storage fee is 500 yen each time. The price is not particularly expensive, and Ruiji is still acceptable.Running around in the business district with a broom does not comply with the regulations of the Witch Association. Offenders will be fined more than 10 yen and less than 30 yen. Witches who are unlucky may receive a fine of 29.99 yen.

The broom store is near the drop-off point of the airship in the Ginza Floating Business District. Rui Ji lined up behind the other witches. While feeling the heat of being scorched by the midsummer sun, she sighed with emotion about the figure of the witch in the store.

Of course, I silently sighed in my heart.

The witch is dressed coolly, wearing dangerously long hot pants and a tight-fitting white vest, and a Hawaiian-style floral shirt on the outside. The various colors are condensed on this fabric, which looks unrestrained and unusual, and is incompatible with the bustling Tokyo.

She also wore the same black witch hat on her head and sunshade sunglasses on her face, making her look very lazy.What is more noteworthy is the full female advantage under the white vest, which is more dazzling than the sunlight overhead, giving the fabric a wonderful curvature.

"Storage fee 500 yen."

"OK……"

Rui Ji looked away, and took out [-] yen in cash from his wallet.

The witch operated on the cash register, printed out an invoice, and handed the invoice and access number plate to her.

"Remember to pick it up before ten o'clock at night."

"Okay, thank you."

It was the first time to communicate with a witch other than her younger sister Jingliu, and Rui Ji felt a little nervous.She stuffed the invoice into her wallet, and the number plate with a lanyard was hung on her wrist like a bracelet, so as not to accidentally lose it while shopping.

She was standing at the intersection of Ginza 19-chome, surrounded by tall buildings on both sides, and there was an entrance to an empty rail station nearby.The architectural style of Ginza is not only a single modern style, but also retains a considerable part of the [-]th century buildings, such as a white clock tower opposite the sky rail station.

The population flow in the Ginza area on weekends is very scary. There are not only witches but also ordinary people living on the ground.This is an era when witches and ordinary people coexist. Except for some specific areas, witches and ordinary people can enter and exit most public areas.

After taking a quick tour of the streets of 18-chome, Rui Ji remembered that he came here to find a place to drink and have fun.The age of adulthood in Japan has been lowered to [-]. She just reached the legal drinking age today. As long as she shows her ID card to a bar or a place that sells alcohol, even if she looks immature and is still in high school, the clerk will not stop her from entering the store.

In her previous life, she was a social animal who ran around the corners of the city for her livelihood. The greatest joy after working overtime was to get a bottle of beer at a roadside stall and order a bunch of meat skewers.

Compared with nightclubs, Japanese izakayas are cheaper and more popular, and the prices are not so persuasive.

She stopped at the entrance of the izakaya, glanced at the price list outside, saw that the per capita consumption started at 5000 yen, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​going in.

Before going out, my younger sister specifically told her not to spend money indiscriminately. Any expenditure that is not for the consumption of survival materials but belongs to the consumption of enjoyment materials is a waste of money.

There is a faucet in front, and several witches are washing their hands and faces.As we all know, tap water in Japan can be drunk directly. Although there is a vending machine next to it, and the mineral water inside sells for 120 yen a bottle, more people are willing to choose the tap next to it.

The witches didn't feel that drinking tap water was something to be ashamed of, so Rui Ji didn't think much of it and joined in.

In the absence of financial resources, any penny must be spent wisely.

"By the way, I have to buy some study materials."

The 1 yen was allocated by Jingliu to buy teaching aids. The next monthly ability test will examine the proficiency in using level 9 attribute spells. Attribute spells refer to spells such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

High school graduation requires mastering at least level 5, otherwise you will not get a high school diploma.

Rui Ji discovered a very scary thing——now he didn't even learn Level 2.

"Damn..."

There is still half a year left before the final exam in January, and there is still money in my pocket, so I can go to the bookstore to buy a magic book as soon as possible and go home before I can do the internal volume.
