Candy Wizard and Travel

Irena carefully squatted down and let the stones slide on the unstable ice. She clapped her hands happily after crossing the slippery area.

Next to her, Xidi threw one out helplessly.

He didn't feel much fun. The ice on the river varied in thickness. If we looked at it as a competition, the only thing that could be compared was luck. He always felt that his luck was not very good, as if he met those precious people. Then it ran out and it was always a bunch of hassle when traveling.

"I won!"

The girl gloated as she watched Xi Di's stones fall into the pothole, and jumped up with joy.

"Senior brother, did you see it? Mine slipped so far away that I almost couldn't see it...ah!"

Also fell in.

There are a few games like this every day, not too many, just a taste. At first, Xi Di carefully calculated the bearing capacity of the ice surface, the angle and force of throwing stones, but later he was too lazy to forget about it. It depends on luck. Anyway, it won’t be the same. For 10 minutes, just think of it as relaxing with your junior sister.

This was better than her other bizarre conditions, and the requirements for winning were just trivial things like sitting with your knees on your knees and sitting back to back for a while.

And if he wins, he will let Irena eat some food that she is picky about. Some ingredients will be weird when processed in this way, but combined with the improvement of oriental cooking techniques, she will accept it. To this day, the junior sister still cannot accept it. The stuff is still mushrooms.

Say something like "Isn't what grows from trees just wood?"

There are also things that grow from other places...such as insects.

After hearing this, Irena was even more frightened.

Well, it was also his fault. In short, from that day on, Irena was further away from the mushroom.

In early winter, the clouds were clear and the sun had just shaken off its goose-egg red state and began to pour out warmth. White smoke was evaporating from the water under the rising sun.

A gust of wind blew by, and Irena shook as if her hair was exploding.

"It's so cold!"

"You forgot to wear a scarf again, don't learn from Teacher Fran." Hidi took off his scarf and hung it up for her. Irena insisted that the witch didn't wear a robe, so he took off his scarf and hood, no Quite cold.

"Thank you, brother."

Irena tightened her scarf and raised her hand to rub her cold ears, "I haven't gotten used to it yet. Anyway, in a while, I will be at home again and not go out."

She was looking forward to such a day. The heat in summer was hard to touch, but in winter...it was so cold. Isn't it normal for everyone to squeeze in?The last time I chatted with Teacher Fran, I easily brought up the subject of Senior Brother Xidi’s past. The teacher said that during the first winter when they met Senior Brother, they often huddled together wrapped in blankets because of the cold. It was a worthwhile period. A time to remember.

Envy without taking action is the most meaningless emotion. This winter, she will create her own memories!

"This section of the river, when it snows, the ice is thick enough for people to stand on." After adjusting her mood, Irena pointed to the river, "When I was young, I often saw children sliding over from upstream. Now, If the street is expanded over there, there will be fewer people here. If you are interested in winter, we can play together."

The qualifier "we" naturally excluded Teacher Fran, but considering that the atmosphere between the two of them would be awkward, she still had to be called over.

——Anyway, it’s a background board.

"Skating...well, that's good."

Xidi was in a daze for a moment.

Things that happened a long time ago appeared in front of my eyes, but they felt inexplicably very close.

……

It has been two years since Hidi left the Magic Academy. Calculated from the time he arrived at the Royal Celestilia, it has been close to seven years.

The college's basic courses only last for four years. Most students will graduate directly. A small number of students can choose to stay in school for further study until they pass the apprentice witch exam. After that, they either find themselves or are recommended by teachers to apprentice with witches to learn the following knowledge. , gained the title of witch.

By the year he left, there were 14 witches in the academy. Some were teaching, and some were just in name. Dana, Mavis and Roseanne, whom he was familiar with, were all there. By the way, Teacher Connie’s little daughter was also there. It was around this year that he enrolled, and he sent some books and notes as congratulatory gifts.

The weekend department still maintains a streamlined number of people. Although the college's manpower has always been tight, the new blood in recent years are all serious and responsible people, and they are no more reliable than the witches who were paid to do things in the past.

It can be said that the students who enter the school have no worries and no hard work. Those who don’t ask for help or don’t get what they ask for have not received anything. The weekend club has now become a club that is keen to explore interesting things on campus.

By the way, the instructor is Rubin. After graduation, that guy stayed in school and continued to work. As a man, it is difficult to control magic in a deeper way, but this does not prevent him from being addicted to magic. For him, and many of him For the same people, using magic is a happy thing.

Because he often conducts experiments secretly, not only providing materials for the club, but also his deeds appear on the bulletin board all year round. Many of them are used by teachers as negative examples to emphasize to the freshmen. Rubin's monthly salary is miserable because of this. He often hangs out with his former friends - a job that doesn't seem to be understood by his family.

It's not that he really can't eat, that guy always likes to exaggerate.

Life can't always be smooth sailing. It's normal to have happy things and sad things. It's enough that everyone is still walking on the path they like.

After returning to the room, Xidi organized her thoughts for a while and prepared to write some letters and send them back to explain the situation. It was already winter. She also wanted to ask if Correia Noel and Nino had adapted to the environment of the kingdom. From Teacher Fran's side, You also need to discuss the situation with the school. After all, you are still the principal, so you can't go too far.

It's a pity that he didn't leave any physical photos during the journey. The magic of reading, writing and taking photos are easy to be distorted during the long journey. It is difficult for any magical creation to cross the continuous forest, especially from here to the kingdom, the straight line distance is a no man's land. , a normal person’s route is from here to the west to the seaside, and then around from the south, which is very far.

The route Irena planned was also that way, but she didn't plan to take a boat, so she walked slowly and slowly on her broom, west, south, and east. If she walked slowly, she could almost pass half of the continent, and walked to The time of the kingdom can be measured in years. If you spend a few days in each place to appreciate the customs and customs along the way, it would not be surprising to see two or three years.

Just like this, the pieces of letter paper were hanging aside, waiting for the ink to dry and be put into the letters. In the end, they piled up and couldn't fit into an envelope.

……

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

Finally they separated.

My wrists are sore from writing letters.

Xidi put down the pen and temporarily shelved the idea of ​​finishing it in one go. Just leave it like this and finish it in the afternoon. It would be great if it could be sent before the middle of winter.

During this time, neither Fran nor Irena disturbed him.

Speaking of which, the teacher has started strange research recently. Fran is still very diligent in magic. At least she has rich knowledge on paper, which is even more outstanding compared with her actual level. She can be called a theoretical person.

And Irena, I smelled the smell of magic potion on her body this morning. Is she studying something strange again?

This reminded Xi Di of a child she met during her travels. Her name was Priscilla. She showed a unique talent at the age of five. She ran into the forest and found herbs to make various medicines, such as making people laugh. I can't stop, I feel itchy all the time, I can't help but cry when I think of sad things...

Occasional accidents cause headaches for officials.

If she were not too young, Xidi would probably throw her directly into the academy and find Teacher Connie to educate her seriously.

I have a feeling that the child will become a great pharmacist in the future, but for now, Irena is better.

No, I have to go and see.

……

"Um……"

Irena looked at the wand hesitantly.

Black and white, classic style, high-quality materials and outstanding craftsmanship, it also reflects the spirit of the maker. He must have great expectations for the person who entrusts the wand to him, so he puts so much effort into it.

Before that, she had a wand that she bought from a prop shop, and it was a pervert.

This was her new wand, a lesson, a reminder.

According to the results of her previous experiments, this newly created item will most likely be the size of a child when transformed into a human being, with a personality that is either willful or ignorant and unable to understand human speech.

Now she needs a smart, kind and reliable assistant to look out at the door, because what she is going to study next is something that must not be discovered by her senior brother - a potion or magic that makes alcohol lose its smell.

As long as she studies this, she has already grasped the future in her hands.

--Kidding.

Occasionally, it was okay, as a way to vent her emotions, but if the times were too many, she would still feel guilty, and it would be too exciting for her. Now she still enjoys simple contact.

And it’s impossible to do too much without being discovered.

Most people who steal don't steal because they want to be a thief, but because they have no other way to get it.Things that are shady will be shady after all. Miss Irena will one day launch an attack openly, but the time has not come yet.

She is only 15 years old this year, and she is still far away from the adult world. After she travels to many places and meets many people, she will become more mature like her senior brothers and others.

Before that, it’s okay to eat a little bit, right?

With this thought in mind, Irena glanced at the door, her thoughts turned back, and she began to hesitate about which unlucky guy to call.

First of all, the things in this room were eliminated, because after waking up, Irena felt that they would go to Fran's room first, cover her with a quilt and beat her.

Secondly, things that have just been made are excluded, which means that she cannot make one on the spot.

Finally, make sure it’s reliable…

Now that I think about it, the human-changing magic really has many limitations, so I’d better not use it casually in the future.

But at this moment, there was something to be done and something not to be done, Irena caressed the wand, hesitating.

Finally she had an idea.

……

Xidi thought for a while and decided to trust his junior sister. The previous two lessons were profound and painful enough. With her wisdom, she would not do dangerous things. He could not look at people with established impressions. Maybe this Is this a normal thing to study?How can you be so suspicious of people?

After hesitating in the kitchen for a while, he made coffee and poured it into a cup. He picked up the cup and walked to Irena's room.

Let's take a look.

"Irena, I'll give you—"

The familiar footsteps, the familiar height and eyes, and even the habit of letting go immediately after opening the door are exactly the same, but...

"Irena, your hair?"

It was a head of pink, slightly curly hair. If it weren't for this conspicuous difference, Xi Di would have had to wait another three seconds to tell that this was not his junior sister.

"Sorry, Lady Hidi," the pink-haired Irena nodded slightly, politely, "I am not Lady Irena."

……

"Go on, you have at least three things to say."

One of the girls in front of them is sitting and one is standing. The one standing has gray-white hair. If they are the same, Aunt Victoria will shake her head even if they don't speak.

Xidi pushed the coffee cup in front of the pink-haired girl, and she thanked her again, showing a very light but not disrespectful smile.

This expression was enough to separate him from Irena.

"Why did you use this magic again?"

"Well..." Irena tried to lie, but it was impossible for Xi Di to hide it from her in her serious state, so she had to whisper vaguely, "Because there are some things that I have to ask her to do."

"What's the matter?"

Irena remained silent.

Seeing her attitude, Xidi sighed inwardly, "So first of all, is it a very risky attempt?"

"No."

It's just a smell mask. It's just for pungent things like wine. The existing magic is not effective yet.

"Second point, may your research process and results cause harm to yourself, Teacher Fran, and me?"

"will not."

A string was beating tightly in her heart, and Irena performed self-hypnosis. How could something like that be considered harmful?

"Finally, are you doing research with the intention of hurting others?"

"Absolutely not!"

Xi Di's expression softened.

"Then there's nothing wrong with it. It's just about your abuse of magic... It's getting cold, so go back and wear thicker clothes and hang them yourself."

"Yes, senior brother." Irena left dejectedly.

Xidi found that he still underestimated Irena's confidence. On the contrary, it had been a long time since summer. To put it in a slightly more affectionate way, her little tail was raised again.

Apart from anything else, Xidi didn't have a very good opinion of the magic of human transformation, because he didn't know how to deal with the objects that turned into humans, which made him very distressed, just like he would say "excuse me" to the tables, chairs and benches for a long time. My favorite set of porcelain has not been used for a long time.

What he could think about, he couldn't control easily.

He looked at the pink Irena in front of him, feeling a little rude if he always called her like that.

"Um, may I ask who you are?"

"I am Lady Irena's broom."

"Oh, that's a very good broom." Xi Di recalled immediately.

As for the overly polite tone of the other party, he had no intention of correcting him. Most of the objects were of very personal nature. Perhaps because their lives were short, they matured and twisted faster than humans.

Hearing Xidi's words, her expression was obviously a little happier, "Yes, I am very proud of my material. Now my companions are all selling it to magicians as decorations that look fake."

"Well, that's it..."

They talked for a while about the history and practicality of brooms, and summarized the virtues that brooms should have: simple and durable.

Xidi was surprised by the other party's knowledge of miscellaneous subjects.

"Well," she gently scratched her cheek, "this is probably because I can hear the conversations of other objects more clearly. Everyone talks very interestingly...
