"It's still not necessary."

Both magicians who have been active in the UK all year round have a deep understanding of the lethality of this dish.

This is not something that can be redeemed by the craftsman of the creator. Rather, the more authentic it is, the more terrifying it is.

The sound of the hard soles of "Knock" hitting metal echoed in the room of "Windowless Building", and Sigurd's figure disappeared in an instant.

Perhaps for others, the chaotic Euclidean geometry in this building forced them to rely on space-type ability users to move, but for this magician of the "golden" lineage, this kind of The degree of confusion is not a problem at all.

"Aleister, do you think he can be trusted?"

"If he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't have saved me back then, wouldn't he? Just like any doctor."

"It's not your style to trust others so easily, Aleister."

"Sometimes that trust is valuable."

"value?"

"Guarding the shimmer of gold (praesidio926)."

"If taking the other person's trust in you as your card is your romance, then I don't think it's commendable."

The golden retriever came out of the shadows, and the cigar on the mechanical arm behind him was burning a wisp of smoke.

The Hanged Man in the huge tank didn't say much, just looked at the mercenary in a family restaurant in the seventh school district who went with the English maid on the display screen in front of him.

"Trust me...I don't think so..."

Chapter 34: Dinner for Three

This is the commercial street in the seventh school district. Since it is past school time, there are basically no pedestrians on the road.

Although from time to time you can still see some unhealthy adults or adults who have left work in a hurry, but these people just pass by in a hurry.

"Welcome, may I ask you two?"

As a result, the waitress invited Sylvia, who was dressed in a strange apron, goggles, and a maid suit, and Sigurd, who was wearing a windbreaker decorated with a silver cross, with a thick stack of documents, into the restaurant with smiling faces.

Of course, the smiling face was somewhat stiff.It seems that he is a work-study student, unable to cope with the extraordinary situation that is not mentioned in the instruction manual.

Although there are many different kinds of people in Academy City, such a weird combination is definitely not something that can be encountered under normal circumstances.

Sylvia and Sigurd chose a window seat.

In this academy city where [-]% of the residents are students, there may still be crowds during meal time, but now it is no longer meal time, so the entire restaurant is empty.

"Although it is rare to come to Academy City and want to try the cuisine here. But why do we choose such a family restaurant that looks like a roadside stall?"

"Otherwise? Are you the kind of person who is embarrassed to go to the ramen shop alone because you are a girl, so you want to drag me to use it as a shield?"

Throwing the document bag in hand on the seat beside him, Sigurd was handed over the menu by the waiter with a stiff smile on his face.

"No, look. At least you should choose the restaurant in the No.15 school district? I heard that there is a five-star restaurant in the store called 'Diamond Like'?"

"No.15 school district is still some distance from here, even if you take the bus to catch up, you can't catch up. And as a royal maid, is five-star a 'good thing'?"

"Then 'walk' there. It's only a dozen kilometers."

The waiter didn't know what expression to reveal, but the maid proposed to "walk" over when the bus was too late.

Maybe they are high-level ability users.

The waiter could only convince himself in this way, after all, this kind of dialogue has gone beyond common sense.

"Although I said I want to try the food of Academy City, but it looks the same as the outside."

"Of course it's different. For example, if there are fresh steaks outside, then there is a high probability that Academy City is the artificial meat thawed from the freezer. Or the fruits and vegetables grown on black soil with organic fertilizers in the outside world, Academy City may be in Greenhouse vegetables grown in the building by culture fluid and soilless cultivation techniques."

"Isn't it worse?"

The waiter no longer knew what expression to make, and she couldn't even tell whether the two people in front of her were from Academy City, or just came in from the outside world.

After struggling for a long time, Sylvia finally ordered an omurice, while Sigurd ordered a steak as usual, but this time it was not black tea but coffee.

"Have you started drinking coffee like this recently?"

"If you don't try some new things, it's too boring."

"Is that why you change 'props' every three days?"

"If you're still struggling with the matchbox I bought for [-] yen, I've said it before, it's a necessary item for forming a spell."

"At your level, I think a matchbox of [-] yen on the street will do just fine. In fact, for you guy, 'holy water' blessed in a series of steps in a church, and a small puddle on the side of the road Is there any real difference in the use of muddy water for 'exorcism'?"

"..."

Sigurd dodged his eyes and pointedly pointed out that he was Sylvia who likes to buy some weird things.The mercenary casually cast his eyes out of the window, and at this moment he saw a white-haired child carrying a small schoolbag, walking on the road with a somewhat hunched back.

Seemingly aware of this gaze, one of the children also looked towards the restaurant.

I was a little flustered at the beginning, but then calmed down immediately.

He was at a loss, as if he didn't know what to do.After all, this has never happened before.

Sigurd propped his head on one hand and waved to the children across the street.

The other party seemed to want to wave, but hesitated for a while.

He didn't wave his arm slowly until the traffic light switched to green for the second time.

"Is that child you saved before?"

"'Save' may be a very appropriate word."

Silvia tilted her head, as if she didn't understand what Sigurd meant, but she was no stranger to the mercenary's actions.After all, he did such unreasonable things.

Sigurd beckoned the other party to pass, but the other party hesitated for a while before choosing to approach this side.

Standing in the middle of the road, he even deliberately gave way to several passing vehicles.

"..."

"Shouldn't you say hello?"

"Night, good evening."

Silvia looked at the stiff white-haired boy. Although she didn't know what Sigurd was up to, she introduced herself casually.

"My name is Sylvia, and I'm serving as this idiot's maid right now."

"Hello."

The quite polite white-haired boy even stood aside somewhat restrained, not knowing what to do.

"have you eaten?"

"No, because I went to go through the transfer procedures in the afternoon."

"Transfer to the computer school for a longer time?"

"Ah."

Sigurd nodded, not surprisingly.After all, behind the School of Advanced Computer Science is the senior management of Academy City. Although it looks like an ordinary school at first glance, there are more than ten named special students in it, as far as Sigurd knows.

All of them have one thing in common.

Have enough "capacity".

It's like small dogs are destined not to become large dogs from birth, and penguins can't learn to fly no matter how hard they try.Among the ability users of Academy City, what kind of achievements can be achieved in the end is largely fixed from the moment of development.

Sigurd motioned for the waiter to bring the menu again.

"Order what you want. I'll treat you."

"..."

The boy didn't shirk, he took the menu and immediately ordered one of the pasta dishes.

Without saying anything, he handed the menu to the waiter again, and motioned the boy to sit beside him.

Looking at the boy with his hands bound on his knees, Sigurd and Silvia just shrugged helplessly.

After a while, the spaghetti ordered by the boy and the omelet rice ordered by Sylvia came out at the same time.

"Because the sauce here is pre-prepared, you just need to cook the noodles."

As if he noticed the eyes of Sigurd and Sylvia, the boy explained.

It sounds like a frequent visitor to this restaurant, but considering the stipend for each student, it is normal to frequent such a family restaurant.Especially the children in Academy City live alone without their parents, and they have to solve everything by themselves.

Sylvia took the omelet rice, but Sigurd's steak seemed to have to wait a while.So Silvia started eating first.

The boy looked at the steaming spaghetti in front of him. He put the fork aside and didn't start eating right away.

Sylvia watched the young man's movements. The first lesson of being a maid is to observe his words and expressions. As for the young man's obvious writing on his face, the maid could easily read the meaning.

Silvia didn't say anything, but chewed and tasted her food slowly.

Almost 10 minutes passed before Sigurd's steak was served.

It wasn't until Sigurd spread the black pepper sauce evenly and made the first cut that the boy finally started to eat his own food.

Although the food was no longer hot and even the noodles were a little lumpy because of the time, both Sigurd and Silvia noticed it.

This young man who is burying his head in eating noodles...

Laughed.

Chapter 35: "Star Traveler" and "Twilight Exit"

Although he wanted to live a relaxed life, for various reasons, it was impossible for this mercenary to be idle in a short time.

"The magic side has been really messed up in recent years."

"Because the leaders of the major churches have recently undergone major and minor adjustments, regardless of the fact that Britain almost went to war with Spain, even the handover of the pope of the Roman Orthodox Church and the selection of the pastor of the Russian Orthodox Church are in an unstable state where there is almost no internal war. "

The mercenary who knew the reason was leaning on the plane, and beside him was the English maid who would follow him no matter where he went.

The maid didn't know when she had been eyeing Sigurd, but because of the maid's craftsmanship, Sigurd didn't think about distracting her at all.

And on some special occasions, this British royal maid is also very cooperative and walks away by herself, and will not cause any inconvenience to Sigurd's actions. Such a perfect maid, some people really want to leave her?

"This time it's Northern Europe, right? I heard that the Puritans and Cheng sects started to take action some time ago, but with little success."
