Reincarnation Band Magician

This was a subconscious action she made when thinking, and Nagasaki Kiyoshi had a similar habit.

"I just want to take you and Xiangzi out to see the scenery."

I want to see her humans and how they interact with other humans.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi expressed his lack of understanding in this area, saying, "If Ms. Aite doesn't go, I might miss something on my own."

Solitaire said it didn't matter. "At worst, I'll just have to run a few more times. The snow won't start to fall for at least another month."

"understood."

"Then we'll leave tomorrow. Have a good rest."

Solitaire patted his shoulder, smiled, and turned away.

……

No fluctuations were felt.

Solitaire looked at her palm.

We mentioned human society when we were chatting just now.

She suddenly remembered that human status is not distributed based on strength.

In other words, they will not show off their magic power all day long just to demonstrate their strength.

It is said that Volame, the father of modern magic, was a master of concealing magical powers.

However, since she didn't feel any fluctuations of magic power at this distance, there was probably no problem and she was just being too cautious.

She had not taught any techniques for suppressing magic power, and even if she had, even the most experienced human magician would not be able to hide it from her at this distance.

Only demons and monsters whose bodies are made entirely of magic can achieve that level of concealment. Without professional training, it cannot be sustained for too long.

Which demon would specifically practice this?

She had always thought Qing was smart, but it was undeniable that he also had extraordinary talents.

If he was a demon, Solitiel would even consider making an exception and training him as an assistant.

Unfortunately he is not.

Talent can give rise to ambition in people, especially for creatures with short lifespans like humans, who can only endure for a few years or decades at most.

I wonder if Qing will have any unnecessary thoughts because of this.

Therefore, this time she would let her lovely humans see the difference in strength.

There is an unbridgeable gap between humans and demons.

"I've changed a bit too..."

Thinking of this, Solitaire realized her changes. She never did such things before. It was very troublesome.

"I probably won't meet someone as interesting as Qing again, so it was all worth it."

Solitaire gave up trying to understand humans, but she never gave up understanding that the fireworks they could produce in their short lives were more beautiful than any other scenery.

"Don't let me down, Qing."

She sincerely wanted to observe them throughout their lives.

In the Cage: 28. Things I Can't Know

"Wow--"

The baby sits on her mother's lap and splashes water, holding her own tableware on her head.

With her blue hair tied up and her eyes narrowed comfortably, Shoko Toyokawa glanced at little Clara.

I always feel that babies in this world grow faster than those on Earth.

It is also possible that Clara is gifted, at least the Earth baby will not be as energetic as her.

Before the towel on his chest was pushed off, Aite raised his hand to support it.

She looked at Xiangzi.

After knowing each other for nearly half a year, they haven't talked much about life.

On both sides.

Talking about it will only add to the sadness.

Looking back on his recent life, Aite felt that he was actually quite remarkable.

Who can still work so hard at the end of his life?

She had never thought she could be so strong before.

If an ordinary person was caught here, he might have resentment towards Xiangzi and Qing, but Aite never did.

From the day Clara was the only one left in the family, every day thereafter was profitable, and I even wanted to thank Qing and Xiangzi.

They are both very nice. They will cook delicious food, try their best to entertain the child, and constantly try to talk to her and comfort her.

It was impossible for Aite not to notice the uneasiness of the two young people, but even so he wanted her to feel more relaxed.

[Qing, Xiangzi, you guys...]

It was their comfort that helped her slowly cheer up.

Some people will be in constant fear at the end of their lives, while others will accept it calmly.

Aite hoped that she would be the latter, and die with the cultivation and elegance of aristocrats.

But, after regaining it, it is always very painful to give it up again.

The longer she spent with the children, Heqing and Xiangzi, the more she became attached to life.

She used to only worry about little Clara's future, but now she was also worried about these two people.

What will happen to you in the future?

[Solitier will raise you for a long time. With your clear observation and way of doing things, you will live for many years, but there will always be a day when you get tired or old. What will you think at that time?]

[It must be very painful, right?]

[Xiangzi, in the future you might marry Qing and have a child as adorable as my baby. By then, will you still remember the names Aite and Clara?]

[Qing, you value the people around you too much. In the future, you will cry in your final moments because you are worried about your children and unable to protect your wife. That will surely be a hundred times more sad than my life now...]

[That demon will even be surprised by your intense emotions. Until the very last moment, she will stay by your side with her unchanged face...]

She always thought about such things, but she could not say or write a word of them. She only expressed them occasionally in her dreams.

His own situation, combined with his worries about them, made Aite unable to think any further and he raised his hands to cover his eyes.

The water from the bathtub flowed down along with my tears.

Little Clara suddenly stopped splashing the water and looked around.

Xiangzi felt a change in Aite's breathing and opened his eyes. "Ms. Aite?"

"It's okay, I just got some water in my eyes."

Aite maintained a calm tone and comforted the child.

"Hmm...it's done. Xiangzi, let me comb your hair later. How about trying a more mature hairstyle?"

"I just...Okay, you can try it."

Shoko Toyokawa felt that she was still young, but she remembered what she had read: around the 18th and 19th centuries, the age of adulthood in many European countries was 14, 15 or 16 years old.

Going further back, during Japan's Heian period, the emperor's concubines often entered the palace at the age of 10.

(The Japanese lolita control is inherited from their ancestors.)

By this calculation, she is indeed a grown-up girl.

Aite wiped the water droplets from her face and smiled gently.

"When Xiangzi and I were about the same age, I had already met Clara's father. I really don't know whose eldest daughter you are. You are still so pure at this age, as cute as a child."

At this point, I can no longer touch the sadness in my heart or mention the past.

Xiangzi still couldn't understand the seriousness of this. He just felt that the way Aite smiled now looked a bit like his mother, so he agreed in a daze.

"Speaking of which, I've been studying magic recently and came up with this—"

The young lady wanted to show off in front of this gentle woman, so she summoned her magic wand and stirred the water with magic.

A small water ball flew up, trembling gently.

She controlled the water ball and stuck it on Aite's back and shoulders.

The soft and warm water ball is perfect as a massage tool.

"It's amazing magic, very comfortable. My shoulder is a little more troublesome. It's been sore since I had Clara."

"Ok."

……

Took a little longer tonight.

Coming out of the bathroom, Xiangzi let his hair down and dried some of it. It was no longer dripping but still a little wet. He prepared to go back to his room to put on some clothes before going to Atena.

The weather has indeed turned cold.

If she didn't put it on, her teammates would bring clothes over and put them on her, and she would be scolded a few times.

[Qing always does unnecessary things...]

Toyokawa Shoko thought so with a smile.

Well, it’s time to ask Qing to take a bath and heat the water again.

Although water is free now and the magic of boiling water is also very simple, we should still try to save effort.

At night, their schedule becomes more compact. They take a bath, interact for a while before going to bed, and then lie on the bed to communicate and study.

In the room, Nagasaki Kiyoshi was drying his hair.

"Isn't there any water? But I've already washed it."

"Don't you like taking a bath?"

"Occasionally, but more often I prefer to be more efficient."

So he chose to pour water from head to toe with a bucket.

Nagasaki Qing shook his hair and felt it was almost dry. He looked at Xiangzi and said, "When the weather gets cold, wet hair will easily give you a headache. It would be better to dry it in the bathroom."

This is a little piece of knowledge that his mother told him the next day while covering her head after she fell asleep in the living room due to being too sleepy after taking a shower.

"is it?"

This is common sense for women, but it was the first time Xiangzi knew about it.

Because she had never spent the winter outside, her life before this had been helped by either her mother or the maid.

"You can do it yourself. I need to ask Ms. Aite for advice. I just talked to Solitaire. Tomorrow, the two of us will go out to the human city-state to purchase supplies."

Nagasaki Kiyoshi put on a black windbreaker.

When Xiangzi's magic control was not strong enough, he helped with drying a few times, and now he feels a little embarrassed when he recalls it.

Xiangzi's skin was white, tender and moist after taking a bath. When drying her hair, she lifted up her silky blue hair so that the back of her neck could be clearly seen... The neck after bathing was very attractive to Nagasaki Qing.

Not to mention, if you stand, you can see the collarbone in front. Xiangzi sometimes sways comfortably, revealing a little bit of youthful valley.

The more I think about it, the more I care.

I feel it would be disrespectful, so I don't approach.

The two of them were able to live in harmony for half a year by maintaining distance. How did that idiom go?

——Treat each other with respect.

Treat the relationship like a guest, with respect and courtesy, in order to maintain long-term relationship.

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, digesting the information about tomorrow's trip, and found that his teammates had already left.

"Wait for me! I also want to go there to comb my hair——"
