Reincarnation Band Magician

Now she was a little dazed.

The two had been treating each other with respect for half a year, and this was her first time in Nagasaki Kiyoshi's bed.

The box bed has different meanings to the two people. There is no extra room here, and the bed is their only private space.

So Xiangzi felt curious and shy about coming to a boy's home.

This was the first time for her. In her 15 years of life, the only people of the opposite sex she had been in the same room with were her father and grandfather.

Sitting on the bed, I could smell the same soap scent as hers, but also a more "serious" one that immediately reminded me of the bitter smell of a man, without the softness of a girl.

There are also some scents of incense and essential oils. Aite and Qing are interested in different scents, but in order not to hurt the children, they only use mild and harmless ones.

Last time, Aite brought back citrus essential oil, and Nagasaki Kiyoshi would smell it before going to bed.

The sweet and lingering fragrance was faint and enveloped the bed.

It was also the first time that Xiangzi smelled it clearly and remembered many details.

[Qing, are you shy too? ]

Thinking of this, Shoko Toyokawa subconsciously wanted to curl her toes, but because she was behind others, she was worried about attracting attention and suppressed the impulse.

She quickly calmed down again.

Because they don't have that kind of leeway now. If they think too much, they will hit the wall of cold reality.

At the end of the fantasy, Solitaire sat there.

No one can respond to happiness before walking out of here.

The same is true for Nagasaki Kiyoshi.

Begin to deftly untie the braid.

Just as Xiangzi said, he had to finish it quickly and have a good rest. Tomorrow morning he also needed to prepare some bread for Aite and to take out. This trip might take two or three days.

I focused on my hair and got familiar with the braiding structure at the same time.

It took more than ten minutes to untie it. Finally, I combed it a little and simply fixed it with the two black and gold hairbands that Xiangzi brought.

"All right."

Nagasaki Kiyoshi said softly.

"Ah good."

Shoko Toyokawa was a little slow to react and stood up.

Her blood circulation was a little blocked, and when she tried to stand up, her legs went weak and she fell backwards.

The momentary imbalance made the young lady's eyes widen and her heart beat faster.

However, learning magic made her thinking faster, and after the initial surprise, she was ready to welcome Qing's arms.

A hand rested on the back.

"Slow down, can you move?"

"……able."

Shoko Toyokawa stubbornly moved her body with her hands, stretched her legs out of the bed, sat for a while, and then climbed up the ladder.

"Good night."

"Good night, Xiangzi."

His attitude is a bit dull. Is he thinking about magic?

The upper bunk became quiet.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi also lay down silently, with his hands placed flat naturally. He wanted to touch the place where Xiangzi had just sat, but he subconsciously avoided it.

go to bed.

……

In the morning, as always, I woke up to the sound of sea breeze and waves.

After getting used to this sound, when things are calm, you will feel like something is missing.

He always gets up early, goes out quietly to wash up, and then goes to the kitchen to let the dough rise.

Then when he came back and packed up his things, Nagasaki Kiyoshi felt a sense of strangeness and familiarity.

I remembered that the last time he packed his things, he was preparing to happily move to a new home with his mother.

Let’s just think about the last time.

The last time seemed to be...a school trip in junior high school.

It wasn't a good memory either. I was the only person in the class I could talk to, and we separated because she was a girl.

After returning, they talked to each other and said that there was nothing worth remembering and it would be better to stay at home.

It’s a pity now. He transferred to another school and we no longer communicated. If we had kept each other’s communication methods, maybe we could have become friends.

I hope the other person is still practicing guitar...but that is a world he can never return to.

I was distracted for a while.

This happens easily in the morning, my head is empty and all kinds of strange thoughts run through my mind.

"Tuk-tuk."

After a knock on the door, Aite came in and asked if there was anything he could help with.

"No, I'm only going to be away for two days and there's nothing much to pack. Can't you sleep in a little longer? There aren't many times like this."

"Since I had Clara, I haven't been sleeping in as much."

Nagasaki Qing didn't say much. At this time, there was a noise from the upper bunk. After a while, Xiangzi, who had tidied his clothes, opened the door of the box bed.

"Good morning, Qing...Ms. Aite is here too."

"Well," Aite smiled with narrowed eyes, "It's just right. It's still early. I'll help you with your hair."

She actually came for this.

"Eh? Is it necessary to go through so much trouble so early in the morning?"

"It's still early anyway."

"Okay, I'll wash up first, wait a minute!"

Xiangzi quickly put on his boots and ran out.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi blinked in confusion.

Her mood improved.

why?

In the Cage: 31. Rare Creatures Appear

Before leaving, Qing and Xiangzi checked several times to make sure they had brought the necessary personal belongings.

According to Solitaire, this time they would be entering a human town, so they made more preparations.

A powerful demon followed into the human town...

I can't help but worry.

Fortunately, Solitude regards them as important subjects of observation, often taking their feelings into consideration and trying to do things that "humans would do."

After they came, she lost interest in other humans and did not continue her previous research - unless she ran into them like that group of robbers.

So there is no need to worry about her during this trip.

Professional gourmets will not eat anything messy to affect their taste before tasting food.

This also brought some psychological comfort to Qing and Xiangzi. The two of them were able to hold back Solitaire, and their lives were not meaningless now.

I just hope that I don’t get unlucky and meet a powerful human magician.

[To think that encountering a strong human being is misfortune...]

Nagasaki Kiyoshi sighed inwardly.

No wonder in ACGN works, many protagonists who are associated with dangerous forces say things like "You don't know how strong they are", "We are definitely not their opponents", and "It is impossible to defeat them".

This is what is called psychological shadow.

……

Because the traces of horse hooves might reveal information, Solitude only brought back a disposable carriage each time, and sank it into the sea after loading the things.

This time when we went out, she still took me flying, and they stopped when they sensed humans.

Autumn in the northern plateau is short. However, two weeks into the fall, large areas of trees have begun to turn yellow and shed their leaves. Looking down from the sky, the green and yellow colors are particularly mixed.

The three of them were dressed like traveling wizards.

They were personally selected by the most common-sense Aite, who deliberately dressed him and Xiangzi to look more mature. When negotiations are needed, being too young is not a good thing.

Solitaire used illusion magic to cover her horns and made some adjustments to her face. If an ordinary person looked at her, they would think she was just an ordinary cute girl.

If her hair color was a little bluer, she might be mistaken for Xiangzi's sister.

——Although she is playing this role now.

I thought it was interesting and took the girl's hand.

With great fortitude, Shoko Toyokawa did not show any vigilance or disgust.

This period of time also honed her expression management and emotional control.

"It feels so novel. It feels so luxurious to walk into a human town like this."

Solitaire sighed.

Qinghe Xiangzi had no way to respond.

"Um……"

After walking a distance, Xiangzi rubbed his ears.

Nagasaki Qing looked over and shook her head, "It feels like something is missing."

"Is that the sound of waves?"

"Correct!"

The sights and sounds outside were unfamiliar.

The sound of a carriage was heard not far behind them, and it paused before entering their sight.

Two people in black robes and holding wands came over first and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

"Adventurer, I am a magician."

Nagasaki Kiyoshi summoned his wand and gestured.

The visitors still did not let their guard down and started negotiating from a safe distance. Later, a capable middle-aged man in a suit arrived and greeted them.

Confirming identity through words.

First, we need to confirm whether it is a demon in disguise, and then confirm whether it is a robber.

People of the same race always make people let down their guard, and there is a chance of success through deception, cheating and backstabbing.

By the way, this is also the area where the demons excel.

Chambers of commerce operating in the north all have professional security forces.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi could feel it.

In addition to the two magicians in front, there are several faint auras a little further away. That doesn't mean they are not strong, but that they are warriors who are not good at magic.

Then, a few thousand meters further in this direction, there were seven or eight more magical reactions and more warriors.

[It's a very powerful chamber of commerce.]

Looking at the well-behaved "sister" next to him, Nagasaki Qing did not have any unrealistic fantasies.

The capable middle-aged man in front of him was one of the managers of the Chamber of Commerce. He was particularly good at distinguishing subtle pronunciations. With his excellent rhetoric and rich experience, he quickly confirmed the identities of the three people in front of him.
