People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

The hungry mercenary who was going to use the cake ordered from No. 15 school district's diamonds got up rather simply.

After all, compared to those exquisite western food or the simple and awkward sushi rice balls, this kind of food is more appetizing to this mercenary.

"Obviously they are similar things, why did you have a face of swearing to die when you were caught in the 'spindle bread' or 'baguette' last time? Aren't they all the same things? In terms of taste, I still feel that the Japanese Is the spindle bread on the side softer?"

"Correct, bacon in bread is like pineapple on pizza, totally crooked!"

"But I like fruit pizza?"

So, under the discussion about whether pineapple should be put on pizza, why meat with cured sauce can't be called "roujiamo" in spindle bread, and Index said "it's all delicious", this Breakfast is over for now.

Because Index was really making a fuss about going to see the Dahasei Festival, so in order to be quiet during the next seven days of the Dahasei Festival, Sigurd decided to take Index to the streets today have a look.

Index hugged a small three-color cat to her chest, and one person and one cat looked around curiously.

Although Index often moves around Academy City alone on weekdays, and occasionally goes shopping for ingredients and daily necessities with Sylvia, but today is the day of the official opening ceremony of the Daiha Star Festival, and the atmosphere of the entire Academy City is quite different from the past. .

No matter where it looks like the station platform at rush hour, it can be seen how popular this event is.

In the surrounding guide points, the discipline committee members, volunteers, and security guards are all busy. Because there are a large number of tourists from outside Academy City, getting lost or getting lost basically happens every few minutes.

Even setting up mobile guides and electronic signs can't solve the problem, and even if you have prepared an emergency plan in advance, you will be in a hurry to face the surge of people.

Although it would not cause chaos or collapse, the pressure on Academy City's traffic control was far greater than expected.

But this is also a natural result. After all, the "Daba Star Festival" is one of the only special days in Academy City that are open to the public several times a year.

Moreover, its content is the competition between superpowers that can only be seen in movies. It would be strange to say that it is not lively.

Although it is a very common sports event, for people outside of Academy City, it is really amazing for people outside Academy City to be able to come into contact with the "superpowers" that are "very famous on TV, but have not actually seen them with their own eyes", which are both close and incredible. There is considerable excitement and charm.

Chapter 490: The "abnormal" Genqiu Zedou

Jumping up and down the crowded street, instead of asking where to go later, what Sigurd is thinking about is whether Index will suddenly disappear.

(If Index is lost, can Index be found in such a densely populated environment by using divination?)

Just when the focus of this mercenary with a strange brain circuit was completely shifted, Index seemed to have found the target.

"Wow! You can smell an indescribably charming fragrance everywhere!"

The three-color cat in his arms also moved its nose and purred happily in response to Index's voice.

Sigurd and Silvia still haven't figured out why this tricolor cat's taste is almost the same as Index's.

There is a smell of soy sauce or sauce floating around, as well as the unique aroma of mayonnaise when it is burnt, and there is also an obvious, or somewhat abrupt, smell of fried noodles mixed in the air.

If you look in the direction where the wind blows, you can see an area where vendors lined up left and right along the road like a fair.

And because Japan has a strange enthusiasm for fried noodles, the stalls of fried noodles are also extremely popular.

Although it is a large-scale sports meeting, not all students are bound by the game all the time.

As long as you abide by the regulations of reaching a certain arena within a certain period of time, the subsequent actions are basically free.Whether it is to cheer for other schools, buy souvenirs with your family, or stand in a convenience store to read magazines, there is no problem.

Schools that specialize in home economics and health care, like the Luan Ran Home Economics Women's Academy where Maiko Tsuchimikado attended, will take advantage of this time to set up stalls to increase temporary income, and the school also encourages such things very much, and is even classified into the annual evaluation assessment project went.

There are surprisingly few athletic competitions in which all students in a school participate, because some events are divided into different competitions according to grades, abilities, and gender differences. Few people have absolutely nothing to do.

Originally, I was supposed to help my school, but with the income from setting up a stall, the celebration banquet can be more luxurious. After all, just selling things to the parents of 180 million students can make a lot of money.

For such stalls, there are actually quite a few teachers who put on their own clothes, squeezed aside the students who were originally helping, and showed off their exclusive secret recipe with an expression of "you don't understand the essence of chow mein at all".

"Ah! Japanese food culture may be a temptation in the name of food!"

The nun holding the tricolor cat couldn't help blurting out.

Index is the kind of person who will strike at anything as long as there is food in front of her.

Although it was just a fragrance from afar, the existence that would even saliva flow out after being in such a situation for a long time, has so far managed not to pounce on it and start a big sweep.

Although it didn't feel right, Sigurd inexplicably had the illusion that "Index has grown up".

"Although Japanese food is indeed good, but when it comes to 'temptation in the name of food', I still think that the magical country in the west of Japan is very suitable."

Sigurd was a little surprised at Sigurd's evaluation at that time. After all, although Sylvia is not good at cooking, she seldom knows how to cook Chinese cuisine.

"Because this mercenary is particularly fond of Chinese cuisine, as a professional maid, of course, he must study it in particular. Although it is undeniable that Japanese food has developed its own characteristics, in the final analysis, many things are actually passed down from there. Came to be improved.”

"Really? Sigurd, when can we have some Chinese food?"

"I remember that there is one in the No.15 school district, but I don't need to think about it to know that it has been improved according to the taste of the Japanese. If you want to eat something more authentic, you can only count on the great lady maid to show her cooking skills~"

Seeing Index with anticipation written all over her face, Sylvia did not refuse.

While the three of them were discussing, a man's voice sounded from behind.

"If you want to eat the most authentic food, isn't it the best choice to go directly to your own country?"

It was a man wearing a fancy suit, through which some muscular contours could be seen.

There is no specific age in terms of age, but it certainly does not feel that he is under thirty.

In fact, rather than looking at him face to face, although the other party is indeed an adult, in terms of distance, he feels more like a close homeroom teacher than the principal or the dean.

Although the style will give people a fancy feeling, it must be a high-end brand in terms of material and design.

However, his posture in a high-quality suit also resembles the attire of a young industrialist born with no knowledge of failure. To say he is calm is almost meaningless, and to say he is frivolous seems inaccurate.

This look really matches his twisted cleanliness, but looking at him face to face, it is really unexpected that the other party is a person who is committed to charity and volunteering.

He was a member of the Academy City General Council, or rather a recent member.

His name is Genqiu Zedou. As an elite former rescue team, he has received a lot of physical training. Even after becoming a director, he can still see the outline of muscles that have undergone rigorous training from his posture and posture.

As a member of the General Council, Genqiu has a certain degree of power, but as a rookie, compared to those old people, he is only slightly better than a "special" member of the General Council like Oafune Mochu Some.

However, because of its special background, even if it does not have much authority, it still has a large number of subordinates and various equipment resources that can be deployed with extremely high quality and loyalty.

Especially the part of the dark side of Academy City, as far as Sigurd knows, Saku Tatsuhiko, the leader of the "block" in the dark department responsible for monitoring the connection between Academy City and external cooperative organizations, has a very close relationship with him. connect.

"Is it wrong to go to China to eat authentic Chinese food? I don't have such a relaxed and happy position to go to this country."

"That's right. After all, if a researcher like Mr. Sigurd wants to leave Academy City, the foreseeable number of procedures he needs to go through is hopeless. Speaking of this, I intend to provide some researchers who need to go out. A convenient communication card is here."

"Those old things absolutely disagree. It would be better to say that as the youngest existence of the governing council, your position is very vague now."

Genqiu Zedou just smiled back at Sigurd's merciless evaluation.

Index and Silvia stood beside Sigurd quietly, and had no intention of interrupting.

Sylvia met Genqiu Zedou a few times, and although there might be some problems, he undoubtedly maintained a certain purpose just like the others who tried to get close to Sigurd.

"The recent Academy City feels a little 'different'?"

"The Daihasei Festival attracts all kinds of tourists from all over the world. It is normal that it will be different."

The two were not talking about the same thing, but Genqiu Zedou was sure that Sigurd understood what he wanted to express.

"Sigurd-kun, don't you think it's 'safer' to choose a kitchen knife sold in bulk at a [-]-yen store than to buy a dangerous pistol from overseas and use it?"

"I think it's safer to be a law-abiding citizen."

It is obvious that he deliberately avoids the problem, and he does not even intend to hide it.

Genqiu Zedou can be sure that Sigurd knows something that he doesn't know, but this is a field completely different from any known in Academy City.

But he couldn't touch the most crucial point.

It felt like he was close to seeing the truth, but he was stuck at the door.

"That's right, it's really inappropriate for the general director who manages 'firefighting' and 'safety' to give such an example."

"Let's relax a little bit during the Daba Star Festival. Fighting wits and courage with those old things every day, I feel tired enough just to bring them in."

"Who said it wasn't."

Looking at Genqiu Zedou who was traveling far away, although at first glance he looked like a student parent who just came to Academy City and was curiously looking at all the new things, but both Sigurd and Silvia could notice, There have been several "bodyguards" among the crowd, always protecting the safety of the general director.

"Sigurd?"

"Well, I'm thinking about whether to eat takoyaki or taiyaki first. To be honest, although I know that taiyaki and red bean stuffed bread are similar in essence, but the ground is a unique taste?"

"I saw a taiyaki stall over there, I can't stand it, Sylvia."

"Although I just had breakfast for less than half an hour, let's make an exception today?"

"Long live Sylvia!"

Seeing Sylvia who was taking Index to buy taiyaki, Sigurd looked around.

He has no idea how long such a bustling daily life can last, but at least before the next incident begins, enjoying the long-lost daily life with all his strength is quite a "severe" test.

Looking around again, the strongest gold commented.

"That's not bad..."

Chapter 490 Six: Rest Time Is Always Abnormally Short

Although she had just had breakfast, Index was currently fighting with the candy apple in her hand.

Although it is not recommended for cats to eat candy, but looking at the Sphinx who has been staring at her apple candy and screaming, Index still asked the boss for a bamboo stick for Sphinx Alex picked some to eat too.

As for why the three of them can still go shopping in such a leisurely way, in fact, it is largely because the opening ceremony has not yet completely ended.

It is definitely unrealistic for all the contestants to gather in the Central Gymnasium, so the entire Academy City has divided nearly [-] opening ceremony scenes, which will be broadcast simultaneously in the form of live TV.

The students who did not participate in any competitions started to set up their stalls in advance. As for the students who had competitions, after witnessing the opening speech of the seventh person who had just had too much backbone to "detonate the scene", they were organized by elementary school, junior high school, High school and university principals performed twenty bursts of opening speeches.

That is to say, although they hurried out at the beginning, in fact, nearly an hour has passed, and it has just come to the speech of the fourth primary school principal.

The principals of the "Five Famous Schools" such as Tokiwadai, Longer School of Computer Science and Kirigaoka Girls' High School are still in the finale.

"However, even though it's a competitive tournament, you don't feel the urgency to prepare for the battle at all?"

"Isn't that natural? Although it is said that the results and rankings of the competition are related to the next year's students, but to put it bluntly, the Daha Star Festival is a competitive competition for students, and there are no exclusive trainers or coaches. Being able to have a sense of urgency is contrary to the big Isn't the original intention of Baxing Festival?"

"But this is a major event that can rival the ratings of the World Cup. Is it really okay to be so loose as a part of Academy City's diplomacy?"

The Daiha Star Festival is the most well-known event in Academy City, where different students from different schools can compete in the form of sports.

This city-wide sports meeting will be broadcast all over the world, and the ratings can even rival the World Cup.

For this reason, the Daha Star Festival is also used as a political tool by Academy City.
