Candy Wizard and Travel

But as time passed, his eyes began to move unconsciously in their sockets, scanning the surroundings all the time. Anything that moved would make his spirit tense, as if there was a human-eating monster hidden in any shadow.

The witch sat in front of him and heard his breathing gradually quicken.

It's really...serious.

Did this child spend more than ten nights in this state?

"It's getting dark," Miss Witch couldn't stand it anymore and stood up, "Let's try it. Do you think we can go out now?"

Xidi still maintains basic thinking.

"Shock therapy?"

"That's right. I just want to tell you that there is actually light at night, and the stars and moon are very beautiful." The witch took off her robe. "Let's do a simple test first. You can try wearing this."

Xidi took the clothes with body temperature and did not move.

He was now cold all over, and his underwear was soaked with cold sweat.

Miss Witch noticed his embarrassment and said considerately:

"Ahem, my clothes are cleaned every day. I'll clean them again."

The breeze blew by, and Xi Di felt a lightness on her body, and her pajamas became dry.

After calming down a little, Xi Di put on this robe that was too large for him. It had a light smell of grass, which reminded people of soft grass.

Did you lie down somewhere and be lazy before coming?

He was lost in thought, and the next moment, a wide hat covered his head, almost blocking his vision.

Just when his body stiffened due to the sudden darkness, the dotted patterns in his field of vision lit up, like a real night sky.

Xidi couldn't help but think of the night she followed the caravan a long time ago, and the sky at that time.

The hat was lifted, revealing his eyes.

"Ah, little Xidi's eyes have vertical pupils." Miss Witch leaned over and clapped her hands, "It's so beautiful."

Xidi pushed her hat down again.

When his emotions fluctuate or he is too focused, his pupils will become like that.

No one has ever praised his eyes. Rachel, who has a strange bloodline, sometimes has erect pupils. He is very taboo about such a state. Under his influence, Xidi rarely shows it to others.

"How do you feel now?"

Xi Di was wrapped in a black robe and wore a hat that was so wide that it sunk into her whole head. Only the shining stars could be seen in her field of vision.

"Feeling...less scared."

"Okay, let's go!"

……

For half a month, there was only the smell of kerosene lamp and incense in the room, and for the first time, Hidi felt the cool wind.

The weather in early spring was very cold, but under the magic, he only felt a slight chill.

"We're flying."

The witch told him.

Xi Di was a little nervous because he was wrapped in a black robe and with a hat on his head he could only see the flowing patterns; secondly, because he was now being held in the arms of the witch, and he had always found it difficult to adapt to physical contact.

But today I feel good.

The shimmering light in the hat made him feel much calmer. He felt quietly and could hear the movement around him. The wind was so loud that he couldn't hear the trivial sounds of the streets. There were no sounds of animals. He must be flying very high now, right?

"Okay, it's almost here."

Suddenly, the hat was taken off.

The night wind blew Xi Di's hair away in an instant, and the shimmer that covered his sight disappeared. Xi Di's body stiffened instantly and her breathing stagnated.

"Look up."

A hand held his face and gently raised his head.

Starlight returned to his eyes again.

In front of me is an extremely brilliant and dazzling night sky. Countless stars are as dense as the sand on the ground, embedded in the dome. It seems like seeing a huge crystal in a trance; shining strips are dotted among the stars, like The glorious flowing river.

“I used to love watching stars, but because I didn’t have long time before going to bed, I couldn’t enjoy them all. Then many incredible things happened. Now I can look up at the stars to my heart’s content, although sometimes I still feel lonely. "

The voice of Miss Witch was clear and gentle.

Now that his head was resting around her collarbone, Hidi could feel the slight vibration when she spoke.

"——At least, Xiao Xidi is with me now. In the future, there will definitely be more people accompanying Xiao Xidi... Sorry, I'm talking to myself again, how do you feel?"

"It's beautiful... I've never seen stars like this before, they're so clear and they feel so close."

Xidi's eyes also reflected the light of stars.

Miss Witch laughed.

"Actually, it's very far away. I can't reach it even if I stretch out my hand."

"I know."

"Yeah, the wind is blowing, it's really disappointing."

Thick clouds drifted over, as they often do in this season. Xidi regretted that it was not summer, otherwise she would have been able to see it for a long time.

"Take a little effort."

Miss Witch raised her wand.

"——Excuse me, please give way."

"Wow!"

The rapid wind roared past, blowing away the thick clouds, allowing starlight to pour down again. The instigated air flow made Xi Di almost stop holding her hat steady.

The witch's forehead hair was blown up by the wind. Taking advantage of the opportunity for her to cast her magic, Xi Di turned her face slightly and timidly looked at her face under her bangs. Those eyes that should be blue reflected the stars in the sky, looking mysterious and elegant. , cannot see the true nature clearly.

He remembered this scene for a long time.

"what's wrong?"

"It's okay, it hit my eye a little bit, it's fine now."

Xidi looked away guiltily.

"That's good. Do you feel better?"

"Ah."

The glacier in my heart flowed past, and now there is only a patch of stars.

Gap: Teacher’s cooking

"Cook?"

My senior brother and I looked at each other in disbelief, and my senior brother's eyes were filled with helplessness and... tolerance?The same look my mother gave me when I tried magic as a kid and set the house on fire.

"Yes, Irena, I heard you talking bad about me behind my back."

Fran, my teacher, a witch with gorgeous black hair, stood in front of the kitchen with a serious look on her face and spoke loudly.

"Don't underestimate me, teacher. Your master has said that in the culinary world, my cooking is as powerful as Natasha and the president of the association."

"Are you sure this isn't talking about your destructive power?"

I'm very worried.

My senior brother noticed my uneasiness and stepped forward.

"Teacher, let me help you. This will save time."

"Okay~"

I believe that having a senior brother here can at least prevent her from blowing up the kitchen. This is the sense of security that comes from a brother.

○

After 10 minutes, there was no movement, so I sneaked over and took a look.

There was a plate on the table. In sharp contrast to the white porcelain was the chaotic content on the plate. I had never seen it in my deepest nightmares. At this time, it appeared so plainly, impacting my cognition. .

The senior brother was sitting aside with his eyes covered, his upper body shaking slightly, as if he was crying?I have never seen my senior brother cry.

Teacher Fran was flipping through the seasonings at a loss. When she saw me, she turned her head and spoke eagerly.

"Irena! Look what happened to Xi Di. As soon as I touched him, he started to sneeze and shed tears..."

Oh, maybe you’re covering your face because you don’t want to show a gaffe?

The senior brother seemed to want to say something, but as soon as he put down his hand, he began to sneeze rapidly again. The sound was very...I can only say it was cute, which caused my movements to slow down. I wanted to listen for a while longer.

What did his hand seem to be pointing at just now?

"Teacher, don't worry, it might be allergies or something. Did you just encounter something?"

"Just seasoning things with spices, and then that's it——"

Her hand brushed my eyelids.

In an instant, I felt an indescribable feeling pierce into my eyes, like the heavy feeling of mercury pouring from the top of my head, mixed with the stimulation of peppers, the spiciness of onions, the bitterness of orange peels... This deep and malicious crystal touch To me, after a brief paralysis, it began to spread, simultaneously attacking my senses of taste, smell, and skin.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

I also started to sneeze, tears kept coming, and I also had runny nose!

It was too bad, a hundred times worse than the last time I cried. Without a mirror, I could feel how ugly my expression would be at this moment, and I had to immediately cover my face with my hands.

"Eh? What are you doing?"

The slightly dull witch finally realized the problem and tentatively touched her face with her hand.

"——Ahshee!"

The three of us, the master and the apprentice, were crying bitterly in front of the kitchen. We couldn't see anything. We were dizzy because of sneezing. I even fell. I could vaguely hear the sound of the dish rack overturning and a series of crisp cracking sounds.

I guess it's the teacher.

Because it was too embarrassing and terrifying, I sealed that memory deeply, like a dream.

I just remember that when I opened my eyes, I was in front of my senior brother whose eyes were red for some reason. There were steaming stews and desserts on the table. The smell brought me back to the human world.

I vaguely remember that what was there before was... no, there was nothing.

Since then, Teacher Fran has never been near the kitchen.

Chapter 22: An ordinary country

That night they floated high in the sky and admired the stars for a long time, until Miss Witch ran out of magic power.

"I heard an old man say during my travels that the reason why the starry sky is beautiful is that in the infinite universe, no matter how darkness spreads, there are stars to illuminate it.

I think the same is true for people. No matter how lonely he is, there must be a certain star or someone caring and shining on him. "

"But there will always be cloudy days, right?"

"Well, if you feel unhappy then, just blow away the rain clouds!"

They talked about a lot of things, although most of the time it was Miss Witch who did the talking.

The witch put a magic wand in Xi Di's hand, and the wand lit up with blue fluorescence. She said that it meant that Xi Di was very talented in magic and would definitely become an excellent magician in the future.

——This is indeed the case. It only took Xidi three years to fly to that height alone.

When we came down, old people who had been waiting for a long time gathered around us.

"Can this really cure the disease? Xiao Xidi, are you feeling better?"

"Don't freeze..."

"Here comes the hot milk! Make way!"
