Monster Hunting High School

Although when I left, I said I would spend an afternoon apart.

But in just over four hours, Jiang Yu and other witches completed the dinner preparations for this spring hunt. When she followed the paper crane to the third floor of the castle in a hurry, she easily spotted the black cat taking a nap on the top of the marble column at the entrance of the stairs.

An elf in a gray gauze skirt was holding a brush that was bigger than her head, flying hard and pushing it on the black cat's back. The black cat purred comfortably from its belly.

The witch couldn't help but smile.

"Didn't you say before that this castle is worth visiting and that you would spend an afternoon strolling around in it?" She threw a golden bean to the elf, took the black cat into her arms, and whispered in its ear: "I've only been shopping for a while, and I started to feel lazy."

The elf bowed politely to the witch, then flew away happily, carrying the brush and the tips she earned.

The witch's gentle tone made the black cat feel a little hot. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and curl up into a ball.

"That's because I didn't know there were so many rooms in this castle that cats are not allowed to enter." It didn't open its eyes, shook its ears comfortably, yawned lazily, and hooked its tail in the witch's arm. Above: "Besides, this is not called laziness... What laziness can be stolen during a visit? This is called stealing half a day's leisure~~"

Jiang Yu ignored the poor-tongued black cat and gestured at the height of the marble pillar.

"Aren't you afraid of others touching you when you lie down in such a short place?" She wrinkled her nose, and suddenly there was a hint of doubt in her tone: "To be honest, you turned into a cat, did you want to trick the little girl into touching you?"

Zheng Qing is already able to deal with this level of intimidation.

"Put yourself in my shoes, would you touch an unidentified black cat casually in this castle?" It tilted its head, opened its eyes and looked at the witch with bright eyes.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, and finally shook her head honestly.

"probably not."

She murmured, scratching the black cat's belly, and explained to herself: "For old-school wizards, black cats are a very special existence. And in Shanglin Garden, or in this castle , the most indispensable thing is old-school wizards. In addition, most of the people who can enter the castle are children of aristocratic families. Even out of the most basic courtesy, no one will touch the kitten on the roadside like they do in school. "

Black Cat felt that she was making hidden insinuations again.

It coughed dryly, stretched out its paws, spread its two cat toes, and added: "In addition to education, I think the bigger factor is safety. Just now I heard a witch on the pillar persuade her friend, saying, 'Pillar Maybe that cat is an old pervert who wants to take advantage of the little girl, so don't be fooled by 'many old guys here have quirks and are disrespectful'..."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a burst of suppressed laughter after hearing half of it.

"Please mind your appearance, young lady!"

In a portrait hanging on the wall next to it, a witch wearing a black robe and looking like an old nun, with her eyelids lowered, warned the passing witch in a stern tone: "You are smiling like a wandering warbler now..."

The witch snorted, held down the head of the black cat who was about to curse, and quickened her pace slightly.

"Don't argue with her. This is not a school... There are old antiques like this everywhere in Shanglin Garden. You can't win against them."

She reminded in a low voice, changed the subject, and returned to the topic that interested her: "But to be honest, the idea of ​​you turning into a cat is really smart... After you made such a fuss by the Crescent Lake earlier, , you just need to keep a low profile so that senior Tushan’s friends don’t come to trouble you.”

Black Cat sniffed.

It will never admit that it did consider this aspect when it turned into a cat. Not only because of the possibility of Tushan Chujiu causing trouble, but also because the advice of the old wizards on Mount Li kept reverberating in his mind like a demonic voice, causing him to have a bit of "persecution paranoia" for no reason. He always felt that every time Everyone who talks to him is unkind.

It's much more comfortable to be a cat.

No one would disturb a cat unduly here.

"Actually, I should have turned into a queen cat and followed you to the kitchen for a walk. It would definitely be more fun there than this gloomy castle..." The black cat shook his beard and changed the subject.

"You will be kicked out by the head maid of the Black family with a broom." The witch looked at him with a faint smile: "Do you think no wizards have tried to sneak into the kitchen before? Their purpose is not as simple as yours."

She emphasized the word 'simple' very strongly.

The black cat felt that he was sick. No matter what the witch said, he always felt that there was something in her words.

It tried hard to get rid of the bad thoughts in its mind and changed the topic again: "I just want to see what you are cooking for dinner, and grab a small dried fish by the way... What are you having for dinner?"

"You'd better not have your hopes too high."

Mentioning this matter, Jiang Yu paused and frowned, and his interest was obviously not that high: "Shanglinyuan is a very traditional place, which is reflected in all aspects, such as food. There will not be as many tricks as at the Yuexia Dance here, or even It's not as good as the school cafeteria. The staple food is all kinds of dry bread, big and small, in various shapes. We are not allowed to use too much butter and sugar. The dishes are cold, and most of them are various prey hunted by wizards. , made after fresh cutting, if you feel it is greasy, you can mix it with some bitter vegetable soup or hot soup made from other herbs. The taste will definitely not be so wonderful, but they are very good for your magic..."

"No wine?" Black Cat couldn't help interrupting the witch.

"You know very little about wine. Whether it's Green Bee, Amber Light, or Siren Rum, they will not appear openly at the dinner at Shanglin Garden. That is disrespectful to the ancient magic tradition."

At this point, the witch rolled her eyes very rarely, and then quickly returned to her usual dignified appearance: "Of course, they won't appear in public, which means they still exist in private. As long as you find the right person. After all, young wizards Have your own preferences.”

“What do you mean by wine I don’t recognize?”

"There will be a variety of fruit wines made from magical fruits at the dinner. They are private collections of each house and are generally not sold on the market. The quantity will not be too large. But the taste is very good."

The black cat changed into a more comfortable position in the witch's arms, stepped on its paws, and sighed: "The atmosphere of the aristocratic family is really different from ordinary wizards in every aspect... As for that?"

Feeling the unruly black cat in her arms, the witch blushed slightly. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a huge curtain that was folded and hanging to the ground. She threw the black cat behind the curtain.

At the same time, he spat and scolded: "Hurry up and change your clothes...the dance will start in less than half an hour. I don't want to go dancing with a cat in my arms then!"

"You can let me squat on your shoulders, and then you dance with other beautiful ladies!" Black Cat's shameless voice came from behind the curtain.

It was answered with an unceremonious kick from the witch.

Across the curtain, the black cat squeaked as he was kicked, and then immediately became much more honest.
