Candy Wizard and Travel

Victorique didn't know what her daughter was thinking, but she could tell that she was distracted and gently poked her forehead with her finger.

"After you've made your choice, go out. I guess Little Hidi is already waiting. Also, Irena, you can stay at home tonight."

"what?"

"Mom thinks you are already a grown-up child... no, you are about to start preparing to travel as a traveler. I want to tell you something. Do you want to listen?"

After hesitating for a while, Irena nodded.

"Then I'll stay tonight."

……

As Victorique expected, Hidi was already sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree, holding two drinks in her hands. All the things she bought were stored away by the storage magic. After all, only the fabric was not very heavy.

He didn't like to wait for people, nor did he like to be waited for. He estimated the approximate time it would take for the girl to choose clothes, sat in the beverage shop opposite for a while, and drank a cup of tea before coming over.

"Here, Auntie, this is iced lemonade, and this is room temperature latte."

"Ah, you are so attentive," Victoria took the lemonade and handed the coffee to her daughter, whose expression changed to a slightly disgusted one. "What do you mean? If you still want to drink ice when the day is approaching, you are preparing to cover yourself with the quilt like last year. Cry?"

"mom!"

Irena interrupted her mother's words with a blushing face and glanced at her senior brother's expression from the corner of her eye.

Xidi turned a deaf ear and didn't think about it when she heard it. It went in one ear and out the other, and she couldn't even think about it. Everyone has the dark history of childhood, so don't laugh.

But he probably didn't.

"The time to buy clothes went unexpectedly fast. It feels a bit strange. I still want to go shopping again." Victorique held her chin in thought.

It’s definitely weird for women to go out on the street and quickly buy something they like and then go back.

Xidi, who had learned a profound lesson, didn't dare to answer. She waved her hand and made an excuse, "No, there are no snacks at home. I need to go back and make some, so I won't interrupt."

Irena also looked embarrassed. She had no interest in shopping, but she could stay in places like used bookstores for most of the day.

"Okay, actually, I have bought all the things I should buy. There is a festival here at the end of summer. Let's invite Teacher Fran to have a meal with us. I also want to see her new clothes." Victoria added. I didn’t bother to hold them back too much, they were all familiar with me anyway, so I could come whenever I was free.

……

"Dong dong."

Xidi knocked on the door twice as a reminder. This habit only occurred when he and Teacher Fran were alone, and only then would the teacher be particularly relaxed.

The origin is the time when Teacher Fran almost hit him with curry in the face, and also in summer, when no one is around, the witch who dozes all day long will rarely change out of her pajamas, and will randomly refresh them on everyone who can lie down. place.

It’s always a bit inappropriate to fall asleep, so I’d like to remind you.

Although most of them are useless.

When I opened the door, there was no answer. Sure enough, he was sleeping.

When adults have free time on holidays, their bestiality often manifests itself in sleeping like a koala for twenty hours a day.

I hope she can keep up with the rhythm of the college after she returns. The old man stopped moving around much at the beginning of the year. Before Teacher Fran left the house, he announced that she was the principal and entrusted the college to her.

Then the principal turned around and ran thousands of miles away to work as a tutor.

Like talk?

The last time he went back, the old principal Antonio held him and talked for a long time. The main idea was that without him improving the system and designing magic dolls to assist teaching, it's hard to say what the school would be like now. Teacher Fran is really It's worrying...

There are also teachers in the school. Without them, their work will be heavier.

Forget it, there isn't much time left for Teacher Fran, so it doesn't hurt to make her happy.

Taking out the materials, Xidi went to the study room, flipped through paper and pen, and began to design styles and estimate sizes of materials. Teacher Fran's words... pleated skirts made of light materials and short skirts that are more comfortable to wear at home, under the teacher's robe all year round. They are all ankle-length, so it’s better to relax at home.

There are also summer pajamas, the recently popular T-shirts, oh yes, remember to buy a sun hat next time you go out. As for the color, let it be white. The style of the witch hat is really a bit old-fashioned.

In addition, Mayuko's yukata and the small pattern Wufu that she had wanted to do for a long time are a bit more complicated, and we will deal with them later when we have time.

After sketching with paper and pen, he had a preliminary draft, clicked with magic, and rushed out before dusk. Unlike Mr. Mal, he was not a soul eater, and it didn't matter whether he had a soul or not.

I held my clothes and pushed open the door of the teacher's bedroom. It was empty inside.

After taking a glance, Xidi went straight to his room and opened the door. Sure enough, the teacher was lying on his bed. He had taken a shower and changed into pajamas. The room smelled of shower gel.

After he left, the air conditioning in the room dissipated, and it was very hot now. There was a pool of water on the ground where the ice cubes had melted and evaporated. This was her best effort to cool down.

Now the whole person's skin is red, and it looks particularly crystal clear after being slightly moisturized. The only problem is...

Xidi looked at the gray part of the quilt, and the traces of sweat on it were very conspicuous.

"Teacher, teacher."

"Uh-huh..." Fran turned over. It seemed that she was having a hard time sleeping. Otherwise, she would not react to such a volume, so she still insisted on sleeping. She really loved it.

But facing such a teacher, Xidi has summed up no less than thirty ways to get her up.

He found a towel, soaked it in cold water slightly lower than normal temperature, and gently wiped the teacher's cheek and neck.

The cool touch not only removed the heat and brought comfort, but also slightly refreshed her. Fran had to open her eyes regretfully. Unsurprisingly, she saw her disciple in front of her.

"Ah, it's already dusk."

"You slept a little too long, is it okay tonight?" Xi Di handed over a glass of ice water.

Fran, who was still a little dazed, took a small sip and felt the refreshing coolness going all the way into her heart. She stretched out comfortably. Her pajamas were not heavy and she could clearly see the deformation. She didn't care. To this extent, she could see the deformation. It’s nothing.

"Drowsiness is like water in a sponge, there will always be some squeeze."

"I think if you change the word, this sentence will be more profound."

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

Irena helped clear the table with her father's pleased eyes - he had to do this job in the past, and her daughter has really grown up.

It's a pity that the old father doesn't know that his daughter also developed the habit of living in the tree house during this period. If she doesn't move and the teacher doesn't move, only her senior brother does. Just sit there and watch?It will make your conscience uneasy.

"My dear, go out for a walk, and Irena and I will have a few words."

"Oh."

Vestia didn't care, gave her daughter an encouraging look, turned around and opened the door and went out. A qualified father must know how to keep his distance.

Irena carried the plate to the kitchen, a little embarrassed.

The last time I had a formal communication with my mother was before the apprentice witch test. At that time, she was as nervous as a fully-stretched bowstring. Her mother gently told her that most of the people who passed the test were adults, and even if she lost, she would still be able to do it. It didn't matter and gave her the inspiration to work out some useful techniques.

——For a magician, my mother’s level is truly remarkable.

After experiencing ugly actual combat, she felt that the level of those adults was no more than this. The rebound after tightening and the sense of accomplishment of defeating the adults gave her an unreal feeling of floating in the air for a period of time.

So her mother entrusted Teacher Fran to give her a severe beating, followed by her senior brother who couldn't break her defense even if he stood still. Now her mentality is calm and much calmer.

Thinking about it this way, my mother was always there during the important time of growing up.

"Little Irena's birthday is in October, and she will be a 15-year-old girl soon after that. With your intelligence, you are now almost like an adult, but you have less experience."

Victorique cleans the dishes carefully without using magic. She likes the feeling of touching the tableware with her own hands. Until now, she can distinguish the subtle differences of each plate.

While wiping, he talked casually.

Irena tilted her head and thought for a while, with a frightened look on her face, "Ah, is that so, I'm going to be an adult?"

"Actually, it's not that fast. Just think of it as fine. But if you can bear it until you go on a trip later, I won't say more."

"That's impossible." The girl shook her head decisively. Now she is thinking about traveling every day, which has been her wish since childhood.

Victoria was not surprised and continued, "Actually, it was when I was shopping for clothes with you today that I realized that my daughter is already so old. It's really nostalgic. It seems like yesterday she was still shrinking in my arms and saying Want to learn magic..."

A look of nostalgia flashed across his face.

“Mom has some adult experience here.

Irena, when you hear someone say this, don’t pay too much attention to people who are not close to you. Most of the time, their lives are worthless to you.

But I think there is some truth in what I say. Just treat it as a book. You can read it, but don’t copy it mechanically. "

"Yes, Mom." Irena stood up straight.

"Don't be so serious. Go move the stool. I'm almost done here."

"it is good."

After a while.

Victoria brought a pot of tea.

"It's the formula your senior brother told me. It's for nourishing the stomach after meals. Drink it slowly."

Irena became a little more interested and took a sip slowly. It was sour, sweet, and not too bitter, which refreshed her tired taste and spirit after the meal.

"It's been a long time since I've talked like this," Victorique smiled, "Where should I start... Let's start with what interests you. You often meet with Xiao Xidi. Do you want to say thank you?"

"Well, often, I will always say something to Senior Brother after I trouble him, but some time ago he said he didn't need to be so polite."

"Well, that's the truth. It's not good to be too indifferent, but you must remember that for some troublesome things and after receiving teaching, you must express your gratitude seriously. Others have put in their energy without hesitation and cannot turn a blind eye. Knowledge and magic are The condensation of hard work, every exclusive magic is completely precious."

Irena nodded to indicate that she had taken note of it.

"Good boy," Victorique was very satisfied. "This period of time...well, it's only been less than four months. You've grown up very quickly. Teacher Fran and Hidi are both good role models. Of course, the former may have a lot of problems in life." Lack of enthusiasm, don’t learn this.

Your knowledge is improving every day, your character is settling, and your attitude towards others has also been greatly improved. I should thank them.Today, my mother discovered something and needed to tell Irena. "

"What is it?"

Victorique put her hands on her daughter's shoulders and said seriously: "That is, you have grown up, Irena."

Her daughter looked confused and wondered if there was any significance.

"Growth is a complex yet simple thing. Irena, you have now completely left the realm of 'children'. Whether it is your identity as a trainee witch or a witch within reach, or your character and knowledge, you have reached this point. , when you realize this yourself, you may have to wait until you have traveled for a while. Mom is telling you here because she hopes you will have confidence."

"Confidence?" Irena chewed the word and thought carefully about her own growth.

Looking back, it’s true. It seems like yesterday I was acting coquettishly in my mother’s arms, saying that I wanted to be like Nicole, and then a long and hard day, without the laughter and laughter of friends, no free holidays and leisure, no everything The ease that children deserve.

That was the path she chose, lonely and heavy. Even her mother deliberately kept her distance after she was eight years old to exercise her independence.

Now, she has reached the finish line with one foot.

After being in a daze for a while, she felt: it was so hard, and it was so amazing.

"This is what I mean by self-confidence." Victorique knew her daughter very well and pinched her cheek gently. "You have passed the age of being a child and have lost the privileges of a child, but you also have the privileges that only adults have. Things, independence, self-ownership, responsibility and pursuit.

Irena, remember these things that make you different from your peers. This is the proof of being an adult. It has nothing to do with your age. They are very heavy. If you carry them on your back, you must hold your chest and head high from now on. This is what belongs to adults and belongs to you. confidence.

Your mind is flexible and clear, your fingers are nimble, your body is healthy, your appearance is outstanding and charming, and you have a promising future like a growing sycamore. You must realize that you are a big girl and will soon grow into an outstanding woman. You may still be treated like a child by others, but you must remember that growth is your own growth. Maintain such confidence and pursue your own life to the fullest in the days to come.

Finally, if you encounter difficult things... just like Teacher Fran said, don't hide it in your heart, go to the people around you for help. Teacher Fran, Xiao Xidi, your father and mother, I can help to some extent. busy. "

Victoria grabbed her daughter's hand and conveyed her feelings.

The time this hand has been holding the wand has been surpassed by the time spent on trivial things, but the skill has been engraved in the bones, and the magic will never disappear, it will only rise and fall like the tide.

Victorique is not good at magic, but Witch Nicole does know a little bit.

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

I actually didn't sleep peacefully at night at home.

After adapting to the cold air, Miss Irena realized the difficulty of transitioning from luxury to frugality.

The location of her home is actually quite good. When she was a child, she often felt the cool breeze outside the window was comforting, but now... magic changes her life.

The second thing is that the words my mother said are always rolling in my mind.

She felt that there were deep meanings hidden in certain words. After thinking about it, she felt that every word was very heavy and contained a mother's care and wishes for her daughter.

When she talks about growing up, she can't help but think of how she will definitely travel in the future. What about her senior brother?Where is Teacher Fran?How long will it take to travel, how far will it go, and how much will it cost to get back to the starting point?

No way of knowing, is growing up always so scary?

Irena sighed softly and decided to ask Teacher Fran and Brother Xidi tomorrow. Just like her mother said, when you feel in trouble, ask for help. It is also mature for adults not to blindly show off.

Finally, there is a very practical factor.

I have just bought clothes and I haven’t gotten used to them yet. I always feel that my chest is a little tight. Can this thing really help with growth?
