Candy Wizard and Travel

She raised her head and looked at Xidi who had her head lowered. There was dissatisfaction in her eyes, as if to say, "Why don't you scold me?"

This is not difficult, Xi Di opened his mouth and came.

"Sloth, glutton, vicious, bad guy."

The little girl nodded with satisfaction and continued talking.

"Mom also said that brother, you will find a girl to come back to play with in the future... It's so scary. Do adults buy children like they buy bread?"

"That... can be understood this way." Xidi understood something, but his eloquence was not enough to express it.

"It's so scary, even outside. It's so big. In such a big place, my brother and I will live together from now on."

"Ah."

"You don't want to go back, you don't want to learn, you don't want to 'grow up', you don't want to get married...huh? Brother, I thought of a super-powerful thing."

"Ok?"

"Mom wants you to play with other girls, and wants me to 'marry' out. In this way, you want to buy a girl, and I want to buy a boy. If you think about it this way... I will marry my brother, and my brother will marry me, so there will be no one else! Mom I won’t say anything like that anymore!”

Hidi's hand combing her hair paused.

"genius."

"Hehe, Irena is super smart..."

Her voice gradually became weaker. She didn't sleep well last night, and her emotions were ups and downs today. She was so active. It's normal to be tired. Children wouldn't tolerate it at all. After a while, she snored lightly.

……

Victorique was lying when she said she wasn't worried. Even though she knew Xidi was reliable, what if she met some unreasonable lover?

So when she saw the note after waking up, she took a broomstick to search for it in the air, and even used the magic of eagle eye. There was no way that a gray head and a white head could escape her eyes outdoors.

She was looking further and further away, and when she started to panic, an acquaintance she met by chance told her that he was still hanging around near the door of her house.

It's literally right at your doorstep, just across the street.

Seeing the two of them under a lush tree, Irena slept soundly. Her brother took off his coat and put it on her body to prevent her from sweating and catching cold. He even gently placed his hands on her sister's eyelids. , to avoid being exposed to sunlight while sleeping.

Victorique couldn't speak for a long time. When she walked over, Hidi raised her hand.

"Shh."

In this way, Miss Irena's first adventure of running away from home came to an end. When she returned, Victorique marked the place beside the door where she recorded her height.

……

It took a while to explain the ins and outs, but Victorique sighed at her daughter's clever thinking and how she seemed to be making a lot of money at such a young age.

After Irena woke up, she didn't cry or fuss. She looked confident, which made people a little confused.

Only those who ran away from home with her knew what a brilliant idea this child had.

Because it was so great, Xidi didn’t say anything to share it. She just smiled when she mentioned it.

……

After no longer rejecting learning, Irena's learning speed has improved rapidly.

Days passed, and with reluctance, Xidi passed the apprentice witch exam and became the youngest apprentice witch in the Peace Kingdom and even in the history of the entire association.

The teacher Victoria found was very interesting. Sheila was Hidi’s junior sister. After all, how could a strange witch accept a child as her apprentice?

……

Faced with separation in panic and loneliness, but looking forward to meeting each other every time, in this mood, Irena quickly absorbed knowledge like a small tree bathing in the spring rain.

She already understood a lot of things and knew that Xidi took the witch exam to teach her, so she had to work hard so that her brother wouldn't have to work so hard.

I also learned that the place where I ran away from home was really not far away, that Xidi was fooling her that day, and that younger sisters generally cannot marry older brothers...

She learns really fast.

……

"Mom, what does 'travel' mean?"

"It means going to different places to visit, watch or do other things."

"It's a very far away place... So 'travelers' are people who travel?"

"Ah."

Irena's eyes lit up.

"Then I will become a traveler! Together with my brother!"

Victoria was both surprised and looking forward to it. She could only say that she was indeed her daughter.

"why?"

"Because I want to go to many, many places, far, far away."

It's so far away that my mother really can't find her. In that case... it would be no problem to marry her brother. My mother would never think of finding another girl for her brother, and she would never, never get married!

Victoria thought thoughtfully and chuckled, "In that case, it will be very hard, right? At least you have to become a witch first, right, my dear?"

"Ahem," Vestia coughed, "Yes, it's very hard to be like your brother Hidi."

"Have you agreed?" Irena looked at her mother seriously.

Victoria laughed, why not?

"Well, okay."

"Really?"

"really."

"Um……"

Irena held the book and ran around the room, expressing her joy, her eyes shining brightly, and declaring: "I want to become a witch!"

This is the beginning of another story.

……

Gap: Travelers and the country that worships travelers

Living a comfortable life for too long will make people feel lazy - although no matter what outsiders say or what she feels, the witch named Fran is already a lazy enough person.

To this day, Fran still maintains the habit of traveling with old friends every year, telling interesting stories she has heard over the past year, and some long-winded words that she usually feels nagging but feel just right after a long separation.

In recent years, there have been more topics to talk about.

This year, in order to escape from the work that was full of desks, Fran left early, left a letter to Sheila at the city guard, met at the association branch in a country a little far away, and set off from Wangli Celestilia. A normal flight of more than a week can effectively prevent Connie and others from catching up after they learn about the situation.

No, how can you say escape?This is called the balance between work and rest, changing your mood and regulating your emotions, so that you can improve your efficiency after you return; there is also the need to recuperate your body and manage your body well in order to serve the college for a longer period of time and create greater value.

That's it.

……

After happily eating, drinking, and having fun, the week-long trip passed like this. When we arrived at a country near our destination, we calculated a little and found out how many days it would take for Sheila to arrive.

It’s too boring to wait now, so I’ll go around the surrounding area later.

Fran thought so.

After all, she still retains some of the character of a traveler. When she needs to take action, her mobility is very high - usually appearing in areas such as stealing food in the middle of the night and running away.

The more things she sees, the more she feels that the world is vast and the unknown things are fascinating.

"Well, this map is-"

She turned over the paper with strange patterns on it. This map didn't seem to be hers. Every time she ran away, she would pretend to go to and from get off work normally, and then run away directly after returning home. The map was taken from the bookshelf. , look at this serious handwriting...it belongs to Xiao Xidi.

"Hmph, let me see what Xiao Xidi's trip is like."

Fran looked at the map with great interest, then covered her head after a moment.

can't read.

Without a diary, Xi Di could only understand part of it if he came back to read it on his own, such as where he didn't want to go and where he couldn't go. The patterns and other things were done casually, and the space where he could draw was narrow, so he couldn't even look at it roughly. , there are two or three similar ones.

Which one should I choose?

If you exclude the countries you have visited first, there will not be many options left.

In the end, she chose a somewhat abstract mark, which looked a bit like the eel rice that Xiao Xidi didn't like very much, but she liked it when it was made.

"It's up to you!"

New place, new experiences.

……

On the way here, she saw a wide river, with ships of all sizes drifting by from time to time. Based on her experience, she judged that the area near the port would have some characteristics.

"Welcome to our country! Miss Witch."

Chengwei's attitude was quite enthusiastic for some reason, as if he could tell at a glance that she was a good person, and handed over the registration book.

Fran is different from her teacher and master. She dares to write down her real name when she goes out, and she acts and sits upright.

The other party took the registration book, laughed again, and said in a strange tone, "So serious, then please come in, Ms. Fran."

Hmm... something felt wrong. Fran, who didn't understand the situation for the time being, touched her hair and walked into the city.

After entering the city, tourists and businessmen easily judge their identities through their behavior. Fran soon discovered that the locals, and even a considerable number of tourists, were looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, and would even discuss something heatedly with her companions. Pointing this way is very rude.

The well-informed Stardust Witch immediately thought that she might have committed some taboo.In some countries, you cannot wear hats on certain holidays, otherwise you will be considered a fool. Some people are very sensitive to specific colors and patterns, such as green, such as turtles and cranes.

Fran then looked at what she was wearing.

She wears a black witch robe and a pointed hat with a red ribbon. The only other decoration is a white hairband given by her disciple.

There is no pattern at all, just a normal witch dress.

Anyway, let’s ask someone first.

……

Let’s go eat first.

I forgot to have breakfast. It's not too early or too late now, so let's eat it together as lunch.

As she walked, Fran followed a familiar scent and came to a simple-looking restaurant. There was some fishy smell that was difficult to wash away over the years. It was acceptable to her, but it was probably Xiao Xidi. Nowhere near.

"welcome."

The store manager, who has a slightly stooped back, is handling the eels, his tone is calm and friendly, and his enthusiasm is just right.

"I want one...oh, there's eel rice. I haven't seen you for a long time. This is ready."

"Please wait a moment. Would you like some fried eel bones and clear soup?"

"Ah... I have been losing weight recently..."

"Then..."

"So I don't want the clear soup."

The store manager laughed and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."

Fran sat at the table and watched his processing method. It was similar to the method of kabayaki, but unusually, the sauce was completely spread over the eel meat. He controlled the heat and adjusted the sauce before soaking it completely, leaving a caramel-like crispy shell. , which is quite a test of skill.

It feels inexplicably familiar.

She asked directly.

"Have you ever tasted a similar method? It's not surprising," the boss continued unhurriedly, "I have opened the store intermittently over the years, and many people have asked me for advice. This method is still used here. It's quite common. If you put in the effort, you can imitate [-]% of my techniques. Beyond that, you need talent."

We chatted from moment to moment, and no one felt bored.

"Okay, let's have a taste. This one should be much better than what you've had before."

The calm tone was full of confidence.

"Hmm... It's indeed very familiar. It tastes better than my students' cooking. The boss is awesome!"

"Isn't it a bit praising someone like that..."

The boss only regarded this as a lively guest.
