Candy Wizard and Travel

There are many rainy days that I still remember, including the day when Dorothy left the Doll Country and said goodbye to her master; the days when she got along with Serena in Clock Village; when she first arrived in Celestilia, the Kingdom of the Dolls, and stayed with Teacher Fran The day when I listened to the rain in the tree house...and the most impressive one, the day when Teacher Fran confessed to me.

These are his treasures and he doesn’t want to tell them easily.

After thinking about it, a more distant memory emerged.

"When I was a child, I learned basic magic with someone, and then one rainy day, my sister came to the door..."

That was the first time that he, Serena, and Estelle got together, and it was very nostalgic to think about it. The friendship between the three of them was the most precious thing in Clock Village during the time of Grandpa Rachel.

——It just seems to have deteriorated recently.

This makes people miss it even more.

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

Listening to the rain sounds very leisurely and elegant, but it can get boring if you sit for a long time.

Xidi feels fine now, but the two junior sisters have already made small movements.

Shaye rubbed up and down on his legs, and Irena swayed behind him, both of them were very energetic. They were not irritable, but in a kind of excitement that Xi Di couldn't understand.

As long as one of the three people is an ordinary person with normal growth, you can understand what kind of emotion it is: a kind of excitement when getting along with the people you care about, wanting to express yourself but worrying about making a fool of yourself, trying your best to suppress it and still appear active.

Showing special concern for someone.

It's a pity that the two restless people here have few friends.

"So that..."

"Brother..."

Their words collided and they fell into silence again.

——What are you doing? I don’t want to talk to this guy at all, okay?

The mood of the two is very similar. They both don't want to answer each other's words. It's not that they are excluded or disliked. Their relationship is very good, but not to this extent. It's like two people sending irrelevant messages at the same time. Of course, first. Go back to the one closest to you.

Irena has never experienced such leisure time since her trip, let alone Shaye. Going back to her memories, her sister and grandmother are the only ones in her memory.

There was talk earlier because they all wanted to use each other's topic to get Xidi involved.

But Xidi only planned to watch the exchanges between the junior sisters, thinking about the unity and closeness of the masters, and occasionally saying a few words, and the atmosphere became cold.

But he didn't realize it, guessing whether the junior sisters were bored, and deliberately suppressed the noise, waiting for the two of them to fall asleep.

One is still rubbing and the other is still shaking.

Are you sleeping?

The old floorboards creaked, the steam from the hot tea was mixed with the sweet smell of snacks, and the rain outside the window seemed to be endless.

"It's still raining..."

"Ah, it's still raining."

The two girls had their own thoughts, but at this moment they were surprisingly similar: Senior Sister/Junior Sister, please fall asleep quickly.

……

"Why is it still raining?"

Luxela woke up after falling asleep. The rain outside the window was still the same as before she went to bed. She glanced around and saw that there was a layer of soft cushions on the ground. She was covered with a soft and thin blanket. No wonder she was not cold at all after falling asleep. There was still a slightly sweet smell that made her feel at ease.

Lady Lucella is not just a dragon who can fall asleep anywhere.

The two little girls also fell asleep, sleeping in a strange position, with several pillows placed around them, presumably to replace the person who had just served as a pillow.

The tip of her nose wrinkled slightly, and Luxela easily caught the fragrance in the air. This was something different from ordinary people that she did not retain much nowadays.

It turned out that I was going to cook, and I was feeling hungry after talking about it.

Thinking about it, Luxela sat down lazily again, and rarely started to think.

Some time ago, she and Zai discussed communicating with people. Now that time has passed, the enthusiasm has disappeared, or in other words, there is a kind of margin of "I can do it later if I just leave it alone", so the longevity species seems lazy most of the time. , but if you want to substitute their long lives, Lu Xila is like this now, which is about the strength of 007.

And it’s not like there’s really no communication.

Gu Long, who prided himself on being mature, looked at the two girls on the ground. She liked these two humans, one was very straightforward, and the other was very...well, brave.

The latter one refers to Irena.

Lucela is not blind. Anyone who has thought about the child can understand it at a glance. She is said to be brave because the child's intention to court a mate is undisguised. Thanks to this good-tempered cub, if Lucela When the dragon of the red dragon group was young, his tail and claws had already been raised to greet him when he was annoyed by this.

Well, you can't think like that. Zai said that he has to take on the role of a human being and stop thinking like a dragon. But it's really difficult.

After thinking about it, Luxela gave up again and waited for her meal. She glanced at the two people who were about to roll out of the cushions on the ground. What she noticed was not the poor sleeping posture of the two people.

As for humans...it is said that even on a sunny day, they may get sick even if they sleep in the wild, let alone the current damp weather that makes her feel uncomfortable.

Oh, fragile humans.

Shaking her head, Luxela reached out and grabbed the two of them...by their necks.

Unfortunately, humans don't have fur as convenient as animals, so she had to grab the collars of the two of them and move them towards the cushion.

Of course, Shaye and Irena woke up from the suffocation.

……

On rainy days, warmer food would be better, right?

Amidst the heavy sound of rain, Xidi began to wash and process the ingredients.

The advantage of magic is that it is simple and convenient. Simple division is not bad. Some ingredients need a cutting knife, some need to be shredded by hand, and some need to be cut according to the texture... At this time, using magic is more laborious than doing it yourself. When a person is not in a hurry, , he would practice that as a way to practice operations.

When really cooking for the people she cares about, Xidi rarely uses magic.

We decided to have an Eastern version of hot pot for lunch, probably called sukiyaki, to take care of Saya's mood.There are many ways to do it, and Xidi is used to doing it as he pleases.

The thick-flavored butter is rubbed across the hot bottom, and the aroma of the oil spreads. Then the green onions cut into diagonal sections are simply turned over in the pot, leaving a shallow carbonization layer. Some people like to have it slightly caramelized. Onion flavor.

Then put the beef on top to make it easier to absorb the flavor of the green onions.

The sauce is specially made with sweet soy sauce and mirin in order to replicate the Japanese flavor. The overall taste of the dish is on the sweet side.

As soon as the prepared sauce was boiled, the complex aroma of the ingredients rose. Xidi nodded with satisfaction. The ratio this time was still very suitable.

Then add shredded konjac, diced mushrooms, burdock, tofu and other ingredients. According to the custom there, they cannot be mixed together. Each type of ingredients must be separated and clearly separated. Finally, eggs must be beaten into the bowl. Xidi hesitated for a moment. Finally, only one portion of Saya was prepared, and he chose other dipping sauces, such as sweet sugared garlic.

At this point, lunch is ready.

It will be a little troublesome to clean up the soup and water, but it will be no problem with the cleaning magic. A few people sit together and the steam in the pot gurgling is very pleasant. It reminds people of the lazy winter. The most impressive thing is Three years ago, it was time to teach Irena.

Thinking about it makes people nostalgic, but nostalgia can't go back to the past. Travelers have already adapted to this feeling in their lives, and Xidi quickly forgot about it.

Because of Irena's lesson, these days he paid great attention to cleaning his hands after cooking, tidied his clothes, picked up the soup pot and walked out.

When he reached the living room, he was stunned.

As soon as they came in, they saw Lu Xila pulling the two of them by their collars and dragging them aside like corpses.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Shaye and Irena woke up holding their throats.

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

When Saya was still in her hometown, although she didn't have much contact with people, she still knew about story novels. When girls confessed, they would often say something like "I want to make miso soup for you forever."

And now, she really wanted to immediately ask her senior brother to make her a sukiyaki pot for the rest of her life!

"I said...is it a bit exaggerated?"

Hidi handed Saya a tissue, two of them, one to wipe her tears and one to wipe her saliva - she had just eaten the tofu in a hurry and got burnt, but she was reluctant to spit it out. She held her stomach and felt the burning sensation going down. I cried while saying how delicious it was.

Fortunately, it was dipped in eggs to cool down, otherwise the child would have just poured boiling water into his mouth.

Frightened, Xidi quickly went up to give her two recovery magic potions. Uneasy, she found a bottle of emergency recovery potion and drank it for her.

It is better to wait for hot food to cool down before eating it.

After recovering, the child continued to eat the food while crying. Even Lucela's hand holding the fork paused, confused.

——This human being has his head burned?

Irena, who is still a bit of a young traveler, can understand it to a certain extent. She is evaluated as a natural traveler. She has strong emotional control ability. Even if she sees something in her hometown, she will only sigh for a while. , crying or something is too exaggerated.

"I'm sorry...but this, this taste...is really similar to what grandma makes..."

As Saya was talking, she was about to choke again, but Hidi interrupted her in time to avoid choking into her trachea and coughing again.

"I'll clamp it for you. I've used ice magic to cool it down a bit."

"Hey, thank you, senior brother." Saya showed a silly smile that made people feel easily satisfied. She held the bowl in both hands and took the mushrooms brought by Xidi.

"You..."

There is nothing to do, and Xidi never minds spending time with people he knows well. He also has rich experience in taking care of lazy people. In comparison, this child is already worry-free.

Saya calmed down, clasped her hands and whispered something, which was probably Eastern etiquette, and then continued to eat happily.

Wandering in a foreign land, I have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. The most annoying thing is the businesses that make a lot of nondescript food in the name of hometown characteristics. Sometimes I really miss it, and I also tried to cook hometown food with Mui Ne, but...

The taste is indescribable.

Across mountains and rivers, the ingredients were fine, but the seasonings were so different. They were not professionals and couldn't find substitutes.

It's not that you can't buy things from your hometown, it's just...

It took nearly a month to travel from the land of magicians to the East by traveling in a straight line on a broomstick. Guess how long a normal caravan would take?It’s shipped, but I can’t afford it. All my wealth combined can probably buy a box for spices…

——Not necessarily, they also have a beautiful kimono, a New Year gift.

But even though Mina said she didn't like it, she never said anything about selling it. Instead, she carefully studied the cleaning and maintenance procedures for kimonos and carefully preserved them.

Saya likes chawanmushi, not because she likes chawanmushi the most, but because it tastes closest to the original version among all the things she can eat, so she likes it.

Now I suddenly tasted a plain but familiar taste. It can only be said that I was caught off guard.

And she is really not good at hiding her emotions. She cries and laughs whenever she wants. She is still like a child and feels good.

Irena looked at the senior brothers and sisters who were feeding one another and loving each other with open mouths. She suddenly felt that she should be under the table and not here. The one next to her kept grabbing the food without raising her head. She seemed to be the only one left out. .

Let's end our friendship before we grow old!

The nails couldn't help but pierce deeply into the flesh - oh she couldn't do it, travelers wouldn't keep their nails that long.

"Senior brother, I want it too!" Irena came over and handed the bowl over.

Her senior brother responded politely, "Pinch it yourself. You're not sick. Do you still need me to take care of you?"

This was a joke. Xidi had long been used to taking care of her teacher and junior sister. When Irena handed over the bowl, he put the food in. The junior sister bumped him with her shoulder in dissatisfaction.

Finally, adhering to the principle of not being able to exclude, he added chunks of food to the pile of food in Lu Xila's bowl.

"Human behavior is so strange. It would be faster to come by myself." Lu Xila stuffed food into her mouth and said vaguely not to interfere with her eating.

In the past, the mouth could spit out high-temperature breath, but now it is no problem for the body to cope with temperatures of one or two hundred degrees. As he ate, Xidi could only use magic to quickly process the ingredients and add them to the pot.

……

The rain has not stopped yet.

The meal lasted about an hour. As a pastime after the meal, Irena and Shaye used their mind power to control the pots and dishes to float to the kitchen, and soaked them in the water to wash them. In terms of the results, of course the winner was Irena.

The apprentice witch assessment does not require such delicate techniques, and Xidi did not teach them. These things must be understood and mastered by oneself. After all, everyone's habits are different.

"Ah ah ah, I lost..."

"After all, I am still a witch. Ms. Saya still needs to work hard."

The prize was a piece of macaron. Irena raised her chin proudly and stuffed the whole pastry into her mouth.

"Ooooh! So sweet!"

Saya looked at her ferocious expression in confusion, feeling that it had nothing to do with enjoyment.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I prepared that for myself. I marked it."

"water……"

The overly sweet taste directly destroyed the taste buds in an instant, and even doubted the existence of the tongue.

After making a lot of noise, Xidi went to make new snacks and brought them over, and continued drinking tea and eating snacks.
