Candy Wizard and Travel

Xi Di only glanced at it and lowered her head in a hurry.

The witch hummed and walked past him, and a smell of vegetation spread.

The rustling sound of changing clothes.

Holding a book of magic that he couldn't read a word in, the boy felt something was wrong. Or was it okay because he was a child?

"I haven't put the water in yet. Why don't you go wash it, little Xidi?"

Fran sat over and combed her hair with a comb.

Xidi shook her head decisively.

"Teacher, I just used magic to clean it up, so there's no need for it."

The sound of combing hair stopped for a moment, and Fran looked over thoughtfully.

"Yes, you are very good at magic."

After a while, the witch shook her dry black hair.

"Xiao Xidi——"

"Ok?"

"Let's have a chat."

……

The two of them were sitting in front of a low table, with steaming black tea and cookies baked at noon on the table. The afternoon sunlight and tree shadows cast on the ground, making it a lazy afternoon suitable for sleeping with a book on your face.

Now, the first formal conversation after apprenticeship began.

Fran looked at the disciple sitting in front of her.

She has a very serious personality, which can be judged from her sitting posture: her waist is straight and her curves are natural. She cannot adapt without long-term habits. She puts her hands on her legs. She wants to see herself but does not dare to be too obvious. She is very cute. .

What a good boy...

From today on, he is his disciple.

I received the badge from my master a few years ago, am I qualified to be someone else’s teacher?Are you prepared to carry someone else's life?

Taking a deep breath, Fran started the conversation.

"What will little Xidi do with magic in life?"

"A lot, washing up, cleaning clothes, cooking, cleaning..."

——Hey, it’s not what I thought. It’s just trivial matters. Continue with the train of thought.

"Well, let me give you an example. If you come to school to find me and the guard doesn't let you in, what will you do?"

"Tell him that I am your disciple and ask him to find someone to confirm it to you."

So normal.

"What if it's an emergency?"

Hideello was thinking nervously:

"Well, then just fly in and go back to the school to explain and apologize, otherwise the guard may be criticized. Teacher, am I different from other magicians?"

No, this is too normal for a magician.

"..." Fran: "Xiao Xidi, the teacher wants to apologize to you. I seemed to have misunderstood something just now."

"What?" The disciple looked confused.

Fran picked up the tea cup and covered it in front of her face, and said very embarrassedly:

"I just thought that Xidi was the kind of child who uses magic whenever it's convenient. I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

"It's okay, I didn't feel anything."

"That's good, but since you mentioned it, I'll just say it by the way." Fran took a sip of tea and said with a serious face, "The teacher has encountered such magicians. They said this after seeing people who froze to death. 'Why not use magic to keep warm', so to speak.

Because magic is so convenient, they don’t know that the water in winter is so cold that it can freeze their hands to death; they don’t know that the sun’s rays in summer can scorch ordinary people to death; they don’t know that food is earned through hard work and is thrown away if they can’t finish it… they don’t care at all. The feelings of ordinary people, centered on their own principles, to put it simply - they are scum, so I hope that my disciples will never become that kind of guy. "

"I will, absolutely."

Xidi felt that unless his brain was broken, the words "why not use magic" would never come out of his mouth.

Fran smiled happily.

"Then, I hope that little Xidi can use less magic in her life."

"Eh?"

"I saw that your toothbrush has almost no signs of use, and the towel is also very neat... Ah, Xiao Xidi, is it still afraid of water?"

Halfway through, she remembered the past again and looked over with concern.

Xidi waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I can't do it anymore. It's just because using magic is faster and saves time."

"Then what did Xidi do with the time she saved?"

"Learn magic."

Fran put down her teacup, picked up a biscuit, and kept up the pace of the conversation.

"Then what's the purpose of learning magic?"

"for--"

To see you.

The teacher seemed to have predicted his answer, narrowing his eyes and laughing.

"I understand. Xidi is still too young. Let's talk about life again in a few years. Now listen to the teacher and brush your teeth carefully before going to bed every day and take a good bath... Of course, we can leave troublesome things like washing clothes to magic. Yes, magic is part of life, not all of it. You must enjoy life seriously."

Although she said these words very unconvincingly, Xidi still nodded seriously and took notes.

The teacher was relieved and continued to stuff the cookies into his mouth. His voice was slightly muffled: "Okay, good boy. Well, let's talk about me again. I said before that I may be an incompetent teacher."

"I don't think so."

"Yeah, I'm happy, but the teacher still knows about my character, so just treat it as a casual chat and listen to what the teacher has to say, right?"

Xidi sat down obediently.

"Ah."

"Teacher, my living habits are a bit bad, and I may not be able to change this in the future. Maybe I have to count on Xiao Xidi to help me... Well, being a teacher is really embarrassing."

She covered her face and looked shy, but she was honest about her shortcomings.

"I hope you only inherit my knowledge and ideas and don't learn my bad habits. That would be great."

Fran thought of her master.

To put it bluntly, he is a bad person.

The master's master, the White Witch, is said to be very principled, but it is a pity that the master failed to inherit this. He did countless evil things during the journey. He has a conscience, but not much. Fortunately, he is still a good person at heart.

I can be sure that the way I am now, I can throw a lot of the blame to the master. I was obviously a good boy back then...

The red-eyed child in front of her was almost exactly the same as before she came into contact with magic, as if she was given a chance to start over.

[I must train her to be a sound and upright person! 】

Fran secretly made up her mind.

"teacher?"

"Ahem, I'm a little distracted. Let's talk about teaching. I'm going to take you to live in the school for a while, so you can get used to communicating with people and understand the world of ordinary people. What do you think?"

"I listen to you."

The discussion about teaching became longer. Fran's requirements were not strict. As for the level of magic, she bluntly said that Xi Di could become a teacher now, but she valued more than just strength.

"Witches are not special. There are bad people among them, there are fools who become fools, and there are lazy people who just want to live their lives - such as me. Rather than the so-called name, I hope you can grow into a healthy person. During this process, I will keep watching you until you truly have the wisdom and experience to live independently, and that day will be when you gain the name of a witch."

"I understand, teacher," Xi Di said solemnly. "I will never let you down."

"Well, there's no need to be so serious. Children should smile more. Ah, it's getting late. The teacher can treat you to a big dinner."

The shame has already overflowed. She is still not good at speaking seriously. She really envies people like teachers and masters who are heartless.

In order to hide her emotions, she stood up and invited her disciples to dinner.

Chapter 42: Cooking Black Hole

One detail: When Fran went out, she forgot that she was on a tree more than ten meters high. She took two steps and was pulled by Xidi, so she didn't fall down in an awkward manner. It would be too ugly to use magic while falling.

"Well, I'm so happy that I accepted Xiao Xidi as my apprentice today."

She explained it this way, and of course Hidi believed it.

……

There is another very magical thing.

Fran claimed that she had lived in the kingdom for two years, but she knew nothing about the famous restaurants in the country. It was the place recommended by Xidi who had just been here for two days.

"I heard someone mention it at the hotel. The restaurant has a very good reputation in the local area. Its signature is the seafood here, which you may like, as well as the cattle grazing in the plains...well, there are also some game meats and the like."

Hidi skipped the mutton, something he had been a little concerned about lately.

"Yeah." Fran, who didn't know anything, nodded.

The restaurant she goes to most often must be the one closest to home or school. It tastes good or not, and it can satisfy her occasional need for a change of taste while eating bread.

When she wants to eat something good on birthdays or special holidays, she often buys some random things on the road out of laziness. Obviously she will still happily look for delicious food with her master and sister when traveling.

"I'll come next time I'm free," thinking like this, two years have passed.

"Speaking of which, how does Xiao Xidi know what I like?"

Xidi showed a polite smile: "I guessed the lie."

"Okay, I get it."

Fran lowered her hat and covered her face. She had forgotten that the child had read what she had written.

"Cough cough."

Xidi was very discerning and changed the topic, talking about the countries he had experienced and the past events. When he just mentioned the innkeeper of Yugan Country, he reached the right place.

Fortunately, otherwise he would have talked about the country that worships travelers later. He was engrossed just now. If he missed it, he would probably not be able to eat today's meal, and maybe the teacher would have to huddle under the quilt in the next few days.

"right here."

Looking past, it was an ordinary-looking wooden house. Before getting closer, a wave of hot air from charcoal baking blew over, mixed with the smell of barbecue, beer and fish, as well as the noise and laughter of the crowd after get off work.

"Oh~ It looks very lively. It's obviously not far away. This is the first time I know about it."

As a traveler, she could accept the noise, clapped her hands, and master and apprentice walked in side by side.

It doesn't seem to be the kind of restaurant that uses the environment as a gimmick. If it can be so popular, the food must taste good. It's understandable that there are some minor flaws in other places.

For example, service——

"Welcome, ma'am, you and your daughter are beautiful."

As soon as the waitress behind the door opened her mouth, she accurately offended two customers.

Fran kept her face calm, but Hidi could feel her eyes narrowing deeper.

"Oh, little Hidi, do I look like your mother?"

Hidi shook her head honestly.

"In terms of hair color, we don't look much alike."

Fran's eyebrows were slightly curved and she raised her hand to rub Xi Di's hair with a soft voice.

"Just say it doesn't look like it. No need to analyze it."

The waitress finally found her eyes, clasped her fingers in embarrassment, and bowed repeatedly to the black and white guests in front of her, "I'm sorry, I'm rude!"

Being treated like a parent can be a shock to any single person who considers themselves young.

"No, no, it's too grand, I didn't pay much attention." Fran waved her hand kindly.

--Really?
