Candy Wizard and Travel

Pressing her chest and biting her lip, Fran felt the tension of facing a fork in life again since she passed the exam as a student, her voice was trembling.

The foreshadowing ends here.

"I want to say...I want to say..."

The koala's characteristics were holding her back at this moment, but Fran had slept for a long time today and was very energetic and awake.

"What about, Xiao Xi Di, do you want to... stay by my side forever? The rain in spring, the wind in summer, the fallen leaves in autumn, the snow in winter... I want to keep watching."

There was no turning back arrow when the bow was opened, and there was only a lingering sound after it left the string. Fran lowered her head and became frightened again.

Sure enough, it was too reluctant for her to speak about this kind of thing, right?Were the words you just said too wordy? Did you convey your thoughts?Also, is it a bit strange to confess your love right after eating...

"Well, I will keep watching with the teacher."

- Deng!

The distant target sound responded.

Fran's eyes widened little by little, but she heard her disciple continue, "But if you want to travel, please allow me to refuse for the time being."

"for--"

"Teacher, ah~"

Xi Di picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, blew it, dipped it in the sauce, and held it in his hand before passing it to the teacher's mouth.

Fran saw her disciple's expression.

He was smiling happily, his expression was filled with joy and unprecedented surprise, and his jewel-like eyes were no longer as calm as before.

It's raining outside, but it's sunny in front of me.

It's a bit familiar. A long time ago, when she was still living on the street, the child who turned around after hearing her promise probably had the same expression.

But I didn’t cry this time.

Fran calmed down and chewed the meat obediently.

"You're not full yet, please go on, sit down first, I really want to look at your face now, very, very much." Like the previous teacher, Xidi's words were trembling, and her emotions overflowed like rain. .

"Well, it's a bit shameful..." Fran still sat back with a blushing face.

The rain continued outside the window, but she knew that something had changed and she needed to adapt quickly.

"As for my confession, I actually wanted to tell the teacher when I came back from my next trip, but you said it first. I am very happy, like the day I passed the witch exam, like the day I met you...I want to ride The broom went around the forest."

"No, no, no, I'm going to catch a cold."

"But not yet, teacher."

Xidi sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"As you said, after many years of traveling, it feels like your soul has been on the road. After all these years, you still haven't settled down."

Fran wanted to say something, but she cooperated and remained silent.

"There are many times when I can't understand you. When I watch the sunset sinking into the sea, when I look through my past diaries, when I watch Irena go away...I don't know many things clearly, but sometimes I don't. I feel like I can't understand it.

Even when traveling, I will look at a place for a long time like you, because you have gone too far, and there are always thousands of thoughts left in some corner. I also want to keep going like this until I catch up with you. Okay, you stop here now, I think you can catch up soon. "

Fran hesitated to speak.

Xidi continued.

"When I walked out of the kitchen just now, the teacher was looking out the window in a trance. I was wondering what the teacher was thinking at that moment."

He reached over and gently squeezed the teacher's palm.

"At that moment, the teacher must have felt very uncomfortable. There was a sudden hole, leaving something in the past that could not be filled. I could only endure it alone. At that time, I understood that I needed to continue traveling and keep walking. , until the day I can understand you.

I hope that the teacher can rely on me more, and hug me directly when he is sad, saying that you feel so empty in your heart now, and there is no reason for it.No matter what time it is, whether it’s working, sleeping, day or late at night...

But what I want more is that before the teacher hugs me, I can discover it first and hug you. I look forward to that day, becoming a person who can truly understand the teacher, not just because I have been with you the longest, so it is me. But because there is only me, it can only be me——"

The tone became more intense, and Xidi interrupted the topic in time.

He wanted to express his feelings, cut his heart open and let Fran read it - but that was too scary.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a master and a disciple, which is a metaphor for learning the same thing.

"excuse me."

"No, I rarely see Xiao Xidi like this," Fran blinked and tightened her hands, "Xiao Xidi doesn't talk much. I'm very happy."

"I'm a very clumsy person, teacher," Xi Di sighed, "I can't seem to be omniscient like in the story, so that the people I like can be carefree, but I don't need to know other people, I just want to know you. , as long as I go experience traveling and overlap my footprints with you, I think I will know you better by then.”

After a long silence, Fran felt unspeakable pressure in the face of such heavy expectations.

"It's good now, Xiao Xidi already knows me well enough. How can there be people in the world who really understand each other..."

"I hope I am." Xidi looked at the teacher seriously.

His determination left Fran speechless.

"It's too heavy. Is it worth it for someone like the teacher?"

"It's not 'such a person'. You are only one, unique. There is only one star in my world."

"These words……"

Fran covered her face in shame.

"Where did you hear that..."

"I don't know. Just say it if you want to."

"It's really scary." Fran resisted the urge to hide under the table and looked at the disciple with evasive eyes.

——No, I can’t look straight at it, I can’t do it.

Xidi stood up lightly and said, "There are not many ingredients left. I'll prepare more."

The words stop here, and what the words cannot convey will take longer to convey and settle.

The book he read a long time ago said that if you don't forget, there will be an echo. But now, you don't have to remember, and the thoughts of each other are clearer than the echo.

"I just didn't mean not to eat that much."

"I'm happy today. Besides, the chartered teacher will sleep in tomorrow."

"Yeah! I want to hold little Xidi, is that okay?"

"Then...it's only one day."

……

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

It's already midsummer.

The students discussed the impossible summer uniforms, and every application was rejected by the school with the saying that "excellent magicians don't care whether they are hot or cold."

There are actually many considerations behind this, and there is a reason why robes have become the standard accessory for magicians. It’s just that the students don’t know it yet, or maybe they know it, and they just want to have a thought.

It's been extremely hot recently, no, it's been the past few years, both hot and cold. If it weren't for magic, I would have suffered a lot.

But this semester is different. The savior of the scorching heat has arrived——

Teacher Xidi, the No. 1 favorite in the vote for the next principal of the Magic Academy - the current number of votes is the total of all subsequent candidates - has no practical significance. He combined ice magic and wind magic to create cool breeze magic, which caused the room temperature to drop. Until three months ago, it was cool and comfortable.

However, this magic is not prepared for magicians at all. The combination of dual attributes is enough for witches.

But, it doesn’t matter. After research and improvement, the cooling machine has been successfully popularized. It regulates the temperature of the air and is called an air conditioner, or air conditioner for short.

A large-scale cooling circle has also begun to be installed in the capital to protect residents and regulate the climate to avoid crop reductions caused by heat. Although it is still hot, it has dropped to a level that humans can accept. If you really can't stand it, grit your teeth and squeeze out a few gold coins. Applying for air conditioning, based on the average income of the kingdom's residents - excluding nobles and big businessmen, is only two or three days' salary.

As for the recharging issue, this is simple. What kind of internship is the college doing recently?Students rushed out to help, watering water, moving things, repairing houses, and sweeping the streets. People who asked for help also said thank you.

"thank you!"

A student in black robe ran away happily holding a form with fingerprints on it.

Someone with a cigarette in his mouth looked at this scene, feeling thoughtfully as the temperature was much lower than outside.

"Tsk, there's a new trick."

……

Silla came earlier today because she happened to be passing by and had nothing to do. The most important thing was that she heard something that concerned her.

The temperature dropped further after entering the academy, so cool that it made people want to wrap themselves up in a quilt and take a nap.

Silla was also refreshed and wanted to light a cigarette, but as soon as she took it out, a magic doll held up a no-smoking sign.

"Tsk."

I walked skillfully to the principal's office. To my surprise, the people behind the desk were not sleeping, drinking tea, eating snacks, or being lazy, but were actually grading documents seriously.

"Sheila? Is it so early this year? I haven't been able to spare time recently."

"I have a general understanding. I came here to see you this time. I feel that there have been great changes. Has the sun risen from the west?"

Sheila lit the cigarette, and Fran was prepared to be uncomfortable with the smoke, but she felt that the smell was not strong at all, but rather like... incense?

"Your disciple's craftsmanship, except that it looks similar, is two different things from cigarettes, but it feels pretty good when you smoke it. It's just as expensive as anything else."

The materials have fixed production areas and collection times, and there are only so many of them in a year, so Xidi was willing to make them into cigarettes, and most of the medicinal effects were lost.

This box of Sheila is drawn every six months, because the headquarters' meeting is held once every six months, and that's when you can meet Xi Di.

Of course, since I got it, I can't control it every time. It takes so long, even a month is enough.She wants to smoke this whenever she has trouble. It refreshes her mind and has the effect of increasing concentration and thinking speed. It is worth the money and consumes quickly.

She had just smoked one on the way here.

"That's okay. Wait a minute while I finish processing these documents. There is freshly brewed black tea on the table... Oh, and the coffee you like to drink is over there."

Most of the time it was pleasant to meet old friends. Fran squinted her eyes and dealt with the documents perfunctorily, as if she was already going to be scolded but was not afraid of being scolded a few more times, and a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

In fact, I am very serious, I have almost made no mistakes recently.

"All right."

After putting the documents up and tidying them up, Fran stretched and looked at her old friend with her legs crossed in front of her.

"how are things?"

"Let's keep it that way, bring in new people, make commissions...

This time I went back and looked at the pair of sisters. One of them had some mental problems. They were too dependent on others and were afraid of being alone. One of them couldn't walk without her sister. She was almost as powerful as a witch but still couldn't pass the exam. "

Even Silla couldn’t help but say a few more words.

She finally understood why the senior witch from Japan insisted on having her two granddaughters come out. If she stayed in her hometown, she really couldn't imagine what would happen in the end.

"Ah, fortunately, my disciples are very worry-free. Sometimes I feel distressed if I worry too much. I feel like I haven't done anything, and there is a sense of emptiness."

She was afraid of comparison in everything, so Fran felt happy when she heard that her old friend was so uncomfortable.

Silla said "cut", "What about you?"

"I feel good lately."

"Both disciples have gone out. I remember that you stayed with the disciples for a long time. Are you still used to it?"

"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you again." Fran narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Silla bit her cigarette and didn’t speak for a long time.

"Forget it, I won't beat around the bush with you."

She sat up slightly, her sharp green eyes showing helplessness towards her old friend.

"I met Xidi half a month ago. You know, that kid is just like you. He has some lying skills, but they are limited. And he has no intention of hiding it. I know something."

Fran suddenly stopped, her expression froze on her face, and she hesitated to defend herself.

"that……"

"Don't worry, we can't catch you. He's over [-] years old." Sheila shook her head and looked at him like a criminal. "I should have known that such a day would come, and I should have caught you for a few meals."

"Ahaha, are you kidding me?"

"No, seriously, I saw something was wrong a few years ago, but I thought you could endure it for a few more years. What's the situation now?"

Fran covered her face with a book, her refusal to answer was clear.
