The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

"What are you thinking about? Getting into trouble and being hunted down, or being wanted by the national military police for fraud, or unplanned spending, leaving you penniless... As long as the traveling witch often You will encounter these things, so it is just because you are a witch that you can adapt to such situations. Is this common sense?"

Irena turned around plausibly and lectured him in turn.

Such words made An Yan cover her face and try to suppress all kinds of emotions in her heart. With an expression of suppressing a headache, she said: "There are so many things I want to complain about, but I still have to find a way... ..”

"Get money?"

"Yes, do it first... No? Wait... Although it is true that we have to get the money first, why do I feel that these words coming from your mouth are full of crime?"

As he nodded subconsciously, he suddenly noticed a strange sense of dissonance and subconsciously looked at the girl next to him.

But the girl smiled heartily and nodded vigorously at him: "It's okay, it's a serious business~!"

"....The more you say that, the more suspicious I feel."

"It's okay, it's okay~ I'm a witch, how could I do something suspicious?"

After she finished speaking plausibly, her stomach made an unsatisfactory sound again, causing her to unconsciously cover her gurgling stomach: "...Sure enough, drink some water first to cushion your stomach, otherwise it will be really hard." There is no way to work..."

".......whatever."

After hesitating for a moment, Anyan gave up the dissuasion and held Irena's hat on the side, shaking his head at the pitiful way she skillfully picked up the water and drank.

After drinking water to satisfy her hunger, Irena took the hat and put it on again, then patted her belly and put on a relaxed smile: "Very good~ My stomach is healed for the time being, and I can work hard from now on!"

Is this job really not going to work? ——An Yan felt a little uneasy in his heart, but at this desperate moment, there was no better way, so he could only silently follow Irena towards a crowded place.

Chapter 4 Irena’s serious business

The two of them just walked through the streets, aimlessly looking for a suitable place to commit crimes... and work.

Also during this process, An Yan suddenly remembered something very important, stopped and asked, "Speaking of which, what is your job content?"

"It's us!" Irena turned around and emphasized solemnly.

"..."

"Hey! Don't look reluctant! You are the one who knows about this place! How can I start working without your cooperation?!" Seeing his reluctant look, Irena immediately started preaching with her hands on her hips and a dissatisfied expression. .

Although he didn't want to get involved in such a troublesome matter, at this moment he could only nod as if to accept his fate, making Irena continue with a satisfied smile: "The first thing is divination, right? But I didn't bring my crystal ball, so today .....”

"How about palm reading?"

"Palmistry? How to predict fortune with palmistry? Can you demonstrate it first?"

"Then why don't I do it myself?"

"Okay, you go ahead." Irena agreed without thinking, and immediately gave up on him.

Isn't this guy just trying to push the problem away from the beginning? ——An Yan stared at Irena with suspicion. Irena clearly saw what he was thinking and shook her head repeatedly with a hurt expression:

"Why do you look at me like this? Now we are a community of destiny. No matter what I say, I can never plot against you! Even if you can't trust others, you can definitely trust me!"

"....Let me believe you for once."

Although I can't believe it at all, in this strange environment, even though I have just met each other, I am now the only trustworthy companion.

So after he learned some tricks from Irena... Well, to be precise, various skills in this business, he who was still dawdling and didn't want to go, stood behind Irena. He was kicked out of the alley and onto the street.

Before he could pat the footprints on his butt and turn around to complain, he was lucky enough to see a girl with blond hair and side ponytail staring at him blankly, as if she was surprised by his strange way of appearing.

Especially on his head, he was still wearing the three-cornered hat that Irena lent him, and he was also wearing a black robe that was obviously too small... Just looking at the attire, it was really suspicious.

Although he also complained about this strange dress, according to Irena's oral description, when doing this business, such dress was more conducive to screening customers... She used to put a suspicious crystal ball in the corner, He muttered to himself, looking equally suspicious.

It is precisely because of this suspicion that normal people will stay away rationally. Instead, they can select convenient and suitable "customers" and save a lot of time.

But just when the blond girl was surprised by his dress, he, who had been prepared, endured the shame and looked at the blond girl in front of him, and he was also a little surprised unconsciously.

The Irena I met in the morning was very beautiful and cute. The girl in front of me was wearing a white shirt, a green jacket, and a gray pleated skirt. She was also a rare beauty, and she was as cunning as Irena. People are different, full of youth and purity.

Although he couldn't bear to attack such a person, he quickly prepared himself. At the end, he coughed dryly in order to clear up his mood, then immediately came closer, lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Ahem...this beautiful young lady, are you very troubled about your life?"

"Huh?....Life?"

The sudden words made the girl look wary, and she subconsciously took two steps back...it was clear that she regarded him as a suspicious person.

Although he was somewhat hurt by being so wary, he was indeed a suspicious person now, so he could only ignore the question and continued with a smile:

"Don't look at me like this. In fact, I am a lost fortune teller. My time is running out because I leaked the secret, and I have even forgotten the past. But now I just want to continue my mission to solve your troubles at the end of my life."

"It sounds suspicious...and I'm not worrying about life either..."

"Don't be brave. I can easily see into the future. I can see that you are worried. You are just pretending to be yourself. In fact, you are struggling inside - but it's okay! As long as you use my power, your future will become glorious. brilliant!"

As he spoke, he deliberately lowered the brim of his hat so that the street lights not far away could not illuminate his cheeks. At the same time, the corners of his mouth were raised in the shadows, revealing a mysterious and confident smile.

....Of course he feels mysterious and confident, but when normal people see him, it is estimated that 10 out of 9 people will find him more suspicious, and nine times out of ten they will turn away... Just have some self-knowledge.

But this girl has heard what I said to this day, maybe she still has something to play for? ——That’s what he thought in his heart, but the girl opposite took a few steps back again, looking like she was ready to escape at any time, and corrected her with a stiff smile:

"...I'm really not struggling that much. I'm most worried about whether to form a band. And isn't your setting a bit too exaggerated? Why are you leaking secrets and losing your memory when time is running out? After all, if it's really that Awesome, you won’t get lost if you divine for yourself, right? Are the settings too superimposed? If you really encounter any difficulties, it’s better to go through formal channels?”

"What should I do? Irena... I think what she said makes sense? And I don't want to get into trouble suddenly."

Hearing this, he quickly took two steps back and discussed with Irena in a low voice in the alley.

To be honest, if she didn't understand the situation here and was worried about any serious flaws, Irena would have wanted to go to the battle herself to let him understand what real "divination" meant, but she could only sigh at this moment. refute:

"What are you thinking? How can formal channels succeed? How can there be any formal channels? Do we have to beg? I'm not telling you, you should be self-reliant as a human being! Don't think about getting something for nothing! After all, what will we become if we give alms? ? Or can she really give it to you directly if you ask her for money? We are a serious business and we don’t steal or rob. What are you worried about? "

"...What should I do? I suddenly feel that what you said makes sense?"

"Stop hesitating, think about where we will sleep at night! What we will eat!" Noticing his entanglement and hesitation, Irena couldn't help but with an expression of hatred for steel, she lectured and encouraged him from the side, making him Thinking of his own situation, he couldn't help but murmur to himself:

"Well... that's right. If we just get to know each other first, it would be reasonable to charge a certain fee if the trouble is solved, right?"

"That's it! We are helping others!" Irena smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

"Yes! And this person didn't leave immediately when he saw a suspicious person like me. If he missed it, he wouldn't know when he would show up next. It would be too shameful if he didn't lie..." Halfway through, he noticed that Irena Looking at his eyes, there was something strange, and he quickly changed his words:

"Ahem, I want to say that if you are deceived by us... no, after being educated by us, you will definitely get a good lesson, which will help you avoid encountering worse criminals in the future, and at least you will know how to stay away from them. The Importance of Suspicious People.”

"No, no, no... I don't think it's to that extent. Are you going too far in your justification?" Irena, who was worried about his conscience at first, now asked dumbfoundedly: "You Isn’t the speed of mentality change a bit scary? And why do you look so proficient in this kind of thing? Are you really a newcomer? In fact, we were peers from the beginning, right?"

"How is that possible? When I was a kid, I was a real good student! ...Probably."

"I never thought when I was a child that I would be wanted by so many countries~" Irena sighed as she spread her hands. Although there was a smile on her face, it felt somewhat empty.

".... Speaking of traveling to another world and working in this kind of industry on the first day, do you think it will be easy for me? Isn't there nothing I can do about it??"

"It's okay! Once you get used to it, you will find that this is actually a very meaningful career!" Irena patted his shoulder encouragingly with an experienced tone.

"No, no, no, I don't want to get used to it at all, and I don't want to be wanted like you. You'd better shut your mouth quickly and don't tell me about your unlucky stories. Just think about what to eat at night. Got it!"

"You can really tell~"

"To shut up."

"Okay~ You try it first. If it doesn't work, get rid of her quickly. Don't let her delay our business!"

Although she didn't have much hope, Irena waved her hand and drove him away - because she was really hungry!

Of course An Yan was also hungry, so he decided to put down his morality for the time being and pick it up again later. Therefore, he mustered up his energy and walked back to the street quickly, as if he was planning to escape. girl.

Chapter 5 Multiple Choice Questions on Money and Integrity

I happened to pass by this place on the street, and I was attracted by the overly eye-catching An Yan. The girl who stopped subconsciously, Ichichi Hongxia, actually started to regret at this moment, why I stopped and watched out of curiosity.

Especially when An Yan was in the dark alley, not knowing who he was talking to, he couldn't help but worry that he might encounter some criminal gang, such as...

(Trafficking people, beating, humiliating, and then forcing them to beg and commit crimes?!)

Recalling the state in which An Yan was kicked out and how dirty she was, Hong Xia was afraid of encountering criminal gangs. She unconsciously thought of the news reports about human traffickers and subconsciously thought of Yi Lei. Na thought she was the human trafficker who beat An Yan behind the scenes and forced him to dress up in such a suspicious manner. Her hair suddenly stood up and she wanted to run to the police station to report the crime.

However, she turned around cautiously to escape, but An Yan had already left the dark alley again. Seeing that she was about to leave, he rushed forward and held her shoulders from behind:

"——Wait a moment, please believe in my ability and professionalism. I just saw your past and your future full of challenges. I can't help but feel worried about this, so I came to disturb you abruptly. ah!"

"..." The lines that were too far from reality made Hongxia speechless at the moment, and she didn't know whether she should show it or not.

An Yan, who had little experience in committing fraud for the first time, was not sure whether her performance was qualified or not... Just seeing how she looked like she was holding back something made her feel a little hurt.

But in order to maintain his mysterious persona, he could only lower the brim of his hat again... Although the girl opposite turned her face away and didn't see it at all, she still showed sincerity on her face, put her hand on her chest and leaned forward slightly:

"Maybe you can't trust me now, but please give me a chance, give yourself a chance, and let me help you. Believe me, I will definitely be able to help you!"

(How could this person hold back his laughter? Sure enough, he was beaten so badly that he didn’t dare to laugh at all??)

Hong Xia wanted to continue running away from here, but... before she turned around desperately, she heard a loud sound coming from An Yan's stomach.

The sound sounded like it was as if she hadn't eaten at all, which made her stop immediately and hesitated: "...How long have you not eaten?"

"Huh?" An Yan, who was originally serious and wanted to get some money from her, was stunned by this strange question, but still subconsciously answered: "How many fruits did you eat last night? Ah... .But I haven’t seen the sun for a long time, and I’m not sure if it’s night...”

"Sure enough?!" His lines reminded Hongxia of the scene where he was imprisoned in the dark basement.

"Huh? What?"

"....Wait!" Regardless of An Yan's confusion, Hongxia groped around all over her body and took out two thousand-yuan bills and handed over a five-hundred-yuan coin: "Here's this for you!"

"Thank you?" He subconsciously took the money, but he quickly reacted, shaking his head and saying: "No, no, no, what do you mean? I haven't done anything yet? You just gave me the money, and I became Who is it??”

"It's okay, everyone encounters difficulties sometimes... just try to survive!"

Saying this, the confused An Yan didn't respond. In order to avoid being beaten for not getting the money, Hong Xia hurriedly fled the scene and prepared to go to the police station to call the police to rescue him.

This made An Yan confused in the wind. He couldn't figure out what was going on for a long time, but Irena in the alley didn't care about it and ran out happily: "You actually did it all at once. Success? I really saw you right! You are really a talented rising star in the industry!"

"No...I won't be happy even if you say that. After all, I don't know what the situation is..." He looked at the direction where the girl was going, and then looked at the money in his hand. I always feel that accepting this money means that I will lose something important: "Honestly, I feel like she is giving me charity..."

"What's wrong?"

"...You really don't have any face, but I still want some face!"

"What are you talking about?" Irena rolled her eyes at him in surprise and asked, "What are you using your face for? Can it be used as food?"

"But is it really okay to live shamelessly like this? Are you really happy?" An Yan looked angry and put his hands on Irena's shoulders and shook her hard.

But Irena, who was swaying with him, stared into his eyes and said confidently: "I feel very free and happy, so it's tiring to worry about face, right? Doesn't it make you happy to live by looking at other people's faces? No! Completely Unhappy! We are free! How can we care about other people's faces? You have mistaken the meaning of life!"

The girl who became more and more impassioned as she spoke made him stunned for a long time. After a long time, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly and she said: "...Although what you said seems to make sense, you are actually just trying to excuse yourself, right? Can you? Please don't say it so righteously? You just seemed to have said, 'Don't think about getting something for nothing. What will happen to us if we receive charity?' Now won't you say a few words?"

"......"

Seeing that she could not be fooled, Irena looked away slightly embarrassed and did not respond to his words at all.

"Hey, how about you say something?"

"Ahem..." In order to deal with An Yan's scrutinizing gaze and the somewhat awkward atmosphere at the scene, she coughed lightly and smiled slightly: "Anyway, everyone is hungry, so we'd better go and eat something first, and then Let’s discuss this issue slowly?”

"....You will definitely pretend that you didn't say this later."

"How could it be possible? Please believe me, I am a witch~!"

"Although she is a witch who has become a wanted criminal for fraud." Looking at the smiling girl, An Yan also smiled and directly exposed her background.

This made Irena look away instantly, smacking her tongue and muttering in a low voice: "Tsk... If I had known better, I wouldn't have said this."

"....You are such an interesting person."

"I'll take it as if you're praising me."

"I'm just praising you."

"Wow~Thank you so much~"

"Too exaggerated..."

"You are so troublesome! I'm really starving to death. Hurry up and get something to eat first!"

"....Too."

Feeling hungry, he also realized that this topic was too empty, so he and Irena put the problem aside in a tacit agreement, holding their stomachs and searching for food on the streets.

However, they hadn't walked long before a familiar voice came from afar behind them:

"——Ah, found it! Come here quickly! He's here!"
