Candy Wizard and Travel

Due to anemia and the influence of previous soul fragments, his development was much slower than that of ordinary people. After a comprehensive and careful examination by Teacher Fran, it was determined that it was the influence of alien blood.

There is verifiable data that proves that mixed elves are not considered children until they are in their 20s, and dragons are still in their eggs at 20. Of course, there are also races such as incubi and succubi that are fully developed at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but currently it seems that within his body Unidentified bloodline is a type of delayed development.

The total height she has gained in the past few years is not as much as this year. At least when she stands on tiptoes to kiss the teacher's cheek, she no longer needs to bow her head to cooperate.

The magic power is also growing at an alarming rate. Slow potions are no longer used unless necessary. The side effects are a bit troublesome. Now there are more occasions when Xidi needs to show her face. Students and ordinary people are completely unable to resist the charm of the original magic power.

Even if it provides magic power to all the magic dolls in the academy, the consumption is barely offset by the amount of circulation.

In order to solve this problem, during last summer vacation, I went to Balad, the land of silence, with Teacher Fran to obtain the magic of the familiar contract. However, the local magician family is the most traditional one and only passes on blood ties. Skills are very rare in modern times.

The hostess of the house was very enthusiastic when she saw Xi Di's performance, and introduced a little girl about eight or nine years old, with blond hair, who behaved as well-behaved and polite as a doll. Her name was Kallen.

The purpose is self-evident.

But unfortunately, the problem is not serious enough to require such a sacrifice. Although contract magic that can carry his magic power is rare, it is at least easier to do than soul research. Hidi and Fran naturally rejected the hostess. proposal.

By the way, Xidi felt the magic of another frequency in that gentle and polite woman, and her eyes made people a little uncomfortable. Neither her words nor her expression could hide the indifference in her eyes. When she looked at Xidi It's like looking at an extremely rare artifact that you can't wait to own.

This classical magician was somewhat seriously ill, but he didn't care.

The matter of contract magic was put on hold for the time being. Xidi needed to spend an extra hour every day to consume magic power. Fran also customized multiple attachment-type magics for Xidi based on the magic barrier. Ordinary magicians can do it in a few minutes. Being drained was just right for him.

This happened within three years of the establishment of the king of Celestialia.

People around me also have their own lives:

Serena's sword skills have already started. Her teacher commented that by the time she is fifteen or sixteen years old, she will probably be able to bear the title of knight. Xi Di doesn't know much about those things. He only knows how to fight in close combat. I can't beat my sister.

This is a sad story, but fortunately Serena is a good, well-behaved and sensible child, and Hidi does not have to spend his childhood being bullied by his sisters like boys in some families.

Estelle passed the qualification examination for witch trainee three years ago. At the beginning of the year, she returned to Rostrov, the clock town, and had already obtained the qualifications of a witch. The witch's name was [Lavender Witch].

That child... holds a grudge and has no favorable impressions of the witches in Clock Village. Her strength is enough to be superior to ordinary magicians. In the letter sent some time ago, she mentioned that she has accepted King Rostrov's commission to become a The country's exclusive witch, along with the letter came a photo, a photo taken at Aunt Eleanor's house.

She stood in the position where Xidi was in the previous photo, making a V with her hand, her golden eyes narrowed, but her expression was not too showy.

"The Witch in Lavender Clothes? Estelle..." Hidi stroked the photo gently.

Naturally, there were also letters from Serena and the others. The well-behaved sister mentioned that Estelle had been lectured a lot by Aunt Eleanor because she was too proud, and was trying to abduct her out of the house and move to a new house with her.

After she was discovered, she was lectured again. Before writing the letter, she vaguely heard her aunt and uncle discussing taking a break from work for a while, having another child, etc...

When they were talking at the dinner table, Estelle froze completely.

Facing the letter, Xidi seemed to be able to hear her sister's clear laughter and see the dull look of the purple-haired girl.

She is unexpectedly confused and reckless under her smart appearance. This is Estelle. Hidi has known her character since she was a child when she smelled her scent. That is to say, she looks smart.

Besides, there are only some trivial things around.

Some of the students in the weekend department have graduated, and some are still dawdling.

Mackie, a freckle sculptor, was "cruelly" blocked by his mother because of his pursuit of art. He recently applied to stay in school as a faculty member because the college has magic dolls to assist work and there is enough space, but what he is trying to bring Xidi hoped that he had some idea of ​​whether that pile of "artwork" could pass the review.

Rubin and Dana are graduates this year, and their intention to graduate is to stay in school. However, Dana is preparing to take the apprentice witch examination next month. Judging from Xidi's perspective, as long as the ultimate paper master does not appear in the examination room, that child will The level is passed with no problem.

Nerd classmate Hattie is already working as a librarian in the library.

More than [-]% of the graduates chose to stay and work in Wangli Celestilia. When Xidi went out to buy something on a broomstick, he would meet three or four people who called him teacher.

It doesn't feel bad.

……

"...What are you writing, Xiao Xidi."

Fran no longer calls her disciples by nicknames on most occasions, and only calls them this way when the two get along in private. She realizes that his disciple has grown up, and sometimes even she cannot easily understand what he is thinking.

It's really a melancholy thing to think about.

But if you ask directly, the child will never lie to her.

"It's a letter from home."

The disciple's voice was still clear and crisp even in adolescence, but it was a little calmer. It was a pity that he couldn't hear the milky and milky sounds when he acted coquettishly before.

But it’s not bad now.

"I was thinking about how to write a reply."

Fran didn't look at it. She turned her back to the disciple and leaned her weight on him. She carefully moved the black hair from her back to her body to avoid it falling on his neck. The itching feeling was not very good.

“I’ve had a lot of leisure time recently.”

"Well, because there are more people in the school, the teaching tends to be standardized, and there is no need to put out fires everywhere. If things continue like this, it is expected that the enrollment issue will have to be considered again the year after next. Teacher, I will probably trouble you to go abroad for a trip. .”

"Eh? It sounds so troublesome. Xiao Xidi is coming with me?"

"I'm sorry, teacher, this is not in my plan."

Fran twirled her long hair, "Then let's do it by myself, teacher. I have to work occasionally."

"There is one more thing." Hidi put down the quill, used magic to dry the ink, and filled the letter paper into the envelope. Her expression was calm, as if she was discussing dinner, "Teacher, what do you think is a better name for my witch?" ?”

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

This topic was not unexpected, but it still made Fran fall into a wordless silence.

Last year, she had considered becoming a disciple, but every time she saw her disciple's childish face and coquettish eyes, she would hesitate.

After putting the envelope away, Xidi straightened her back and communicated with the teacher in a back-to-back posture.

"I want to travel and experience the life that teachers like."

"Xidi, you don't have to be like this..."

Fran opened her mouth to say something, but a hand held her palm, interrupting her words.

"That's necessary, teacher."

Slender fingers gently traced her palm.

"It's impossible not to do that, teacher. If you don't understand, I will always be able to sit here with my back to the teacher, and I want to look at you from a closer place."

"..."

The witch fell into silence. If it were three years ago, she would have said without hesitation that the teacher will always be by your side.

But this year, the child behind him is already 14 years old. For a magician, it is already a mature age. In two years, many will marry and have children. Some words can only be said to children.

"When exactly is it..."

In the end she just sighed.

Who knows when exactly, maybe it was at the beginning, maybe yesterday, the pure feelings between her and her disciple changed, or maybe she never got to know the child deeply, after all, she was an ostrich, that kind of encounter Questions are animals that bury their heads in the sand.

When Sheila met her and her disciples for the first time, she concluded that they would definitely have problems in the future because of their sense of distance.

She is indeed the witch of the association, she is really good at reading people.

And she would just show a silly smile and confidently say that there was no problem.

During this period of time, even when they were reading before going to bed, their most intimate actions were just leaning together, and they would only kiss each other on the cheek when parting and seeing each other, maintaining the proper distance.

But now, Xidi is no longer satisfied with this distance.

"Squeak-"

The wooden chair turned around after a slight sound. After a feeling of weightlessness, Fran sat on the disciple's lap and felt the other's hands around his waist. A year ago, they were used to hugging. Thinking about it now, it has been a long time. , the temperature in his arms was unsettling.

"teacher……"

The disciple's whispers rang in his ears.

"Xiao Xidi..."

Thousands of thoughts, emotions that she had ignored for a long time in the past surrounded her at this moment, and there was no way to escape.

"The teacher said that you and I are very similar. We have lived together for nearly four years. The distance is just right now and no one will feel uncomfortable. But I know that if we take another step forward, no one knows how life will change. What's it like? Teacher, you are also afraid, right?"

Fran nodded hesitantly, "Yes."

People often long for close relationships, but don't want to be troubled by it. If two souls can't fit together, it's better to live alone.

"That's why I want to understand the teacher. Longing is the farthest distance. I want to travel like the teacher. Maybe I can get to know you better during the trip. So... please don't run away. Please, look at me." ?"

The witch's body trembled slightly.

"As a teacher I'm glad you found what you want to pursue in life."

Fran's voice was dry. If she could, she wanted to run away, go back to sleep, and pretend nothing happened tomorrow. She would accept the disciple's wake-up call as usual, have breakfast together, and talk about magic and travel. Unfortunately, today The disciple's attitude was particularly determined.

In any case, that was her cherished and proud disciple. For this reason alone, she could not say cruel words. Did Xiao Xidi, who took advantage of this, accumulate all the despicableness of several years until this moment?

So she could only endure her shyness and listen to her disciple's words of confession.

"...Well, I am 13 years older than Xiao Xidi. I think this kind of thing needs to be more careful, right? Xiao Xidi was only born when I was traveling. That kind of thing is too strange."

"It's indeed a bit strange," Xidi responded softly, resting her forehead on the back that smelled of herbal medicine, "Teacher's life in the first 13 years was a blank sheet of paper. From the age of 13 to now, he still has the same character, so confused that It’s really strange that people can’t let go, but they can show off the leeway of an adult.”

Like a silly fish, he has knocked the pot in front of the teacher in the past few years, put in water, filled it with firewood, prepared all the ingredients, and invited the teacher in. Now this big fish says, this is too weird for us. .

If all adults were like this, the world would be destroyed.

Fran was at a loss for words. Just when she was about to say something coquettishly, Hidi's words continued, interrupting her thinking.

"And if the teacher cares about age, I have been researching the potion for rejuvenation during this period. Appearance and age can be easily solved with magic. Magic is really great."

"Hey, calm down, little Xidi, magic is not used in that kind of place."

"I don't care, I just learned magic for the teacher!"

"..."

After a while, Fran calmed down, or rather, pretended to calm down.

"Well, Xiao Xidi, the teacher may need some time to think about our relationship, our distance, and our future life. I think we need to think very carefully."

The expected ostrich tactic.

"Well, I think so too, so let's continue today's topic when I come back from my trip."

The preliminary preparations have been made, and this step back is to make room for the next step forward.

He needs to get to know his teacher a little better. During the trip, during this extremely long separation, he needs to understand everything that constructs the existence of "Flan". He is confident that the puzzle will not be too complicated for him, because There is no one in the world who is closer to Fran than him. Their souls are so similar that they only need a little polishing to make them fit perfectly.

……

Afterwards, the disciple who was used to suppressing his emotions and the teacher who was good at turning a blind eye calmed down their emotions and began to discuss the issue of the witch's name.

"Teacher, this department should be named after its hair color." Fran shook her head, dispelling the strange feeling of being watched, and thought hard about her disciple's witch name.

Unlike her incomprehensible master, Stardust Witch Fran must think of an extremely rigorous and beautiful name.

She and Sheila were named after each other's hair color respectively, Stardust - Sheila's smooth golden hair, a color that shines like a meteor trail; Dark Night - the dark and gorgeous color of her hair.

Compared with the master's witch name [Gray Witch], this is considered more thoughtful. Then the master's master's witch name is [White Witch]. Xiao Xidi's hair is also white. If you dare to take this name, next time we meet The master will definitely beat her up.

"Ah, I really can't remember it for a while. Do you want to ask everyone's opinions?"

Without waiting for Xi Di to say anything, Fran took out several palm-sized mirrors and placed them on the table, injecting magic power into them. After a while, the faces of several colleagues appeared in the mirrors.

It is the product of Xidi's whimsical idea. It is an idea obtained from a certain instant communication magic in Fran's collection of grimoires. The original magic needs to inject magic power at the same time, and the frequency must be the same. For the two magicians, they are face to face. It is difficult to guarantee the same frequency, which is a useless idea.

But Xidi solidified the frequency of magic power and used special powder to maintain the stability of magic power. When using it, you only need to inject magic power. At least in the city, you can achieve instant contact. The disadvantage is that the potion materials are expensive, the distance is short, and it can only be used in pairs. For pairing, multi-person calls need to be arranged in a row.

The magic power gradually stabilized, and the three mirrors corresponded to the Frost Witch, her daughter Crystal Witch, and the Good Night Witch, Teacher Pearl. There have been new witches joining in the past few years, but they are not very familiar with them.

"What's wrong? It's so sudden." Pei'er seemed to be making food, and there was water vapor floating in the pot in front of her.

The mother and daughter were sitting facing each other, and other people's hair could be seen on the side. It seemed to be a tea party.

"It's about Xiao Xidi's witch name."

"Eh?"

"interesting."

"Senior Xidi is about to leave the army?"

The three people had different reactions.

"Let me get it! Let me get it!" Pei'er ignored the pot and shouted loudly while holding the mirror.

Fran decisively refused, "How is that possible? Of course I, the teacher, will be the one to take over as my disciple. I just want to ask everyone about the origin of the witch's name."
