The first ring of the City of Miracles, the eighth floor of Jishuya Spirit Advent Tower, Laboratory No. 7 of Gray Moon Pavilion

"Astrology... astrology..."

The petite beautiful girl mage was lying boredly in front of the experimental table, playing with the stack of finely crafted rectangular cards in front of her without interest, and muttered with curled lips: "This kind of nonsense is really annoying. I can’t feel motivated, no, it’s not so much that I can’t feel motivated, it’s more that my compatibility is really bad, ahhhh, it’s so annoying!”

He casually took off his glasses and threw them aside. Futaba stood up suddenly and threw himself on the soft and comfortable cushion next to the chair. He rubbed against it like a little female cat that had just escaped from the bathroom, and at the same time made a sound. A series of unexplained but cute-sounding purrs.

Immediately afterwards...

Just when the girl was about to give up on this whim of practice and continue to delve into the epic-level high-level magic she had just dabbled in for a short time, the door on the opposite side of the room suddenly opened silently.

"Well, Diana, what are you doing here?"

The girl asked without raising her head, accurately guessing the identity of the person coming.

"I did a divination."

Wearing a simple black dress with a bit of starry brilliance, the great astrologer Diana A. Azizolti, with a pretty face and skin as white as the first snow, slowly walked into the laboratory, the crystal water Blue eyes looked at the apprentice in front of him with a half-smile: "I found that someone seems to have encountered a bottleneck when practicing astrology, so I came over to visit him for a while."

Futaba rolled her eyes: "You are cheating! Cheating!"

"Well?"

Diana tilted her head in confusion and asked curiously: "Did my divination go wrong?"

"It's just because I'm right that I'm cheating. Really, even the actions of an alien like me can tell what the hell is going on..."

Futaba stood up with a murmur, and the moment he looked at Diana, he fell back onto the mat with a 'pop' and said horrifiedly: "Wow wow wow wow! Diana, what did you eat that was not clean?" Something! What’s going on with this look!”

Diana was also surprised, and said softly with a slightly red face: "Hey! It's... very strange..."

"This is not a question of whether it is strange or not!"

Futaba staggered up again, looking at the great astrologer in front of him with twitching lips, who was not as sloppy as him most of the time, but definitely not much better. His little face was filled with the words: "Skirt! This is Skirt! You're not wearing a robe, Diana!"

Diana, whose face became more and more rosy, bit her lower lip lightly and murmured with a somewhat depressed expression: "Just... even I want to wear a skirt occasionally..."

"That's outrageous! Why do you think you want to wear a skirt occasionally!"

Futaba took a breath of cold air and said in a shocked voice: "We have known each other for so long, and I have never seen you wear anything other than a robe! Even the underwear is very revealing and has the awakening enchantment. Such a career-mad style without any interest!"

Diana was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously and very cutely jumped on the spot, and shouted with a blushing face: "Why do you know what style of underwear I am wearing!!"

"Hey, don't worry about the small details. I also know that you are wearing a sexy black suspender~"

Futaba waved her hand, casually dropped the subject of underwear and gave Diana a patch, then trotted up to the latter and looked carefully at the great astrologer, whose shoulders were starting to turn red and whose head was lowered. , frowned and said: "Also, you didn't wear those rustic glasses today, and your hair seems to have been carefully taken care of. Wow! It's so silky!"

It was rare for her long flaxen hair to be combed neatly, and she even used magic to shape it. While dodging Futaba's clutches in embarrassment, Diana asked in a vibrato that sounded like she was about to cry. Said: "Sure enough...is it weird? I'm like this..."

"Nonsense, of course it's strange. It was so strange that I thought I was blind."

Futaba continued to attack Diana's hair while smiling: "But it's only for me who knows what kind of virtue you usually are. If outsiders see it, they will think it's very beautiful, probably~"

Diana's voice started to sound like crying: "But...but he is not an outsider!"

"Ah~ah~I know, I know~"

Futaba, who finally succeeded in messing up Diana's hair, curled her lips, hugged the former, who was a full head taller than herself, and whispered in her ear: "I want to dress myself up beautifully, for that damn person Mr. Frank Hughes, right?"

While stroking her long, silky flaxen hair, Diana glared at Futaba angrily: "What do you mean by 'damn'? Don't be so prejudiced against him like your brother! Frank is a very nice person. of!"

"I know, I just said it casually."

Futaba, who did not tell Diana about the transaction between him and Kenneth, shrugged, walked to the pile of cushions next to the experimental table and lay down: "I remember we are leaving tomorrow, right? Is there anything else? If nothing happens, let me I’ll take a good rest first.”

This is an eviction order.

As for the reason, naturally it's not because Futaba really wants to have a good rest, but because of her understanding of Diana. When the latter knew that she had suddenly thought of starting to study astrology, she would definitely...

"I plan to stay a little longer. It's rare that you are interested in astrology~"

Diana had no intention of leaving at all. Instead, she walked straight to Futaba and sat down next to her. She smiled and said, "Where did you encounter the problem? Let me teach you."

Although she is Futaba's mentor like her best friend Ana Ta Rasha, Diana has always felt that she is not qualified at all as a tutor, because although Futaba is very enthusiastic when practicing magic, she has not been able to do it before herself. She had almost no achievements in the field of astrology, which she was best at. Although the girl memorized the basic theories very solidly, she had hardly made any investment in practical applications. This could not help but make Diana feel frustrated.

Even if Ana is indeed Futaba's official mentor, and even if she is only half a mentor at best, or something like a temporary guardian, Diana has always been very enthusiastic about 'teaching Futaba'.

There is no other reason. It is such a blessing to have a student like Futaba.

As a close best friend, this was the first time that Diana felt so strongly jealous of Tal Rasha, because the Futaba students were so outstanding. She still remembered the first time she saw Tal Rasha give The scene when Futaba was teaching was simply outrageous!

Most of the theories will be memorized immediately after listening to them once. For ordinary high-level mage, it takes at least three weeks to understand the third to seventh sections of "Advanced Arcana" that have been studied for two weeks. Any formula told to her would be drawn inferences and even inferences, and from time to time, some opinions would appear that even people of her level and Tal Rasha's level would fall into deep thought and subconsciously follow their train of thought.

Tal Rasha once said this in a casual chat - the most suitable profession for Futaba in this world is not a 'mage' or a 'scholar', but a 'student'!

Because that girl's learning ability, thinking speed and understanding have reached an incredible level, no matter how bad the instructor is, she will get a huge sense of accomplishment from Futaba.

There is no doubt that Ta Rasha is very addicted to this sense of accomplishment.

After getting along for a short time, Diana also wanted to have this sense of accomplishment, which was the core reason why she agreed to her friend to serve as another mentor to Futaba.

However, as the saying goes, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. Although she became Futaba's mentor and later got along with her day and night, Diana's achievements in the latter's education were a mess.

It's not because Futaba has no potential in astrology. In fact, Diana feels that this girl has outstanding talents in any field (perhaps except hand-to-hand fighting). The core reason for the failure in education is that Futaba is very good at astrology. I have no interest in studying.

It is true that in addition to astrology, Diana, one of the three major astrologers in the Innocence Continent, also has profound knowledge in water magic and arcane magic, which is the level of the magister at the epic level, but compared to Ah Na Tarasha, the all-round magician who could be called a monster, knew that she was still far from it.

In other words, in terms of elemental magic, Futaba, who has been taught by Tal Rasha for a long time, does not need to be taught by himself at all!

If you want to reap the pleasure of guiding geniuses, you can only make a breakthrough in the field of astrology!

To be more precise, it was a breakthrough in getting Futaba interested in the field of astrology!

That's why Diana rushed over today when she noticed that this girl seemed to be studying astrology, without even having time to change her clothes.

"Problem... Well, actually I'm just doing random research... Well, let's study this."

Futaba, who had already understood Diana's thoughts, curled up on the mat and mumbled feebly, then raised her hand, and the stack of cards on the experimental table was 'brushed' into her hand by a gentle wind element.

"Oh, I know!"

Seeing that Futaba did not directly interrupt the topic, Diana immediately said enthusiastically: "This is a divination card you made based on the original world. I remember all the meanings you told me before. Although it has nothing to do with the stars, But it seems to be fun too!”

Futaba twitched the corner of his mouth, flicked his fingers, and casually flicked three cards out of the stack of homemade tarot cards, rolling his eyes: "Then I played with the divination principles you taught me, and the result ...Oh, that’s true.”

"What is it like?"

Diana took the Tarot card handed over by Futaba, opened it, frowned and said: "This is... the upright God of Death, the upright Tower, and the reversed Sun... Hmm... let me think about it... "

Futaba sighed and interrupted Diana impatiently: "Don't think about it, I have already done the interpretation, or I know what it means without interpreting it at all. To put it simply, the God of Death means that something may happen to me. , the tower represents that something might happen to me, and the reversed sun...heh, that's probably the reason why something happened to me."

"is that so?"

Diana asked without raising her head and continued to look at the three cards in her hand that made Futaba feel very unhappy.

"That's it, as long as I use the divination knowledge you taught me, no matter how I draw these three cards, ha, what's going on with this, I'm a dead mother? It's really not reliable at all."

Futaba cursed angrily and muttered in a low voice: "I know astronomy well and geography at the same time. I fight against that trash all the way online and offline. In random battles in public spaces, I can easily tie all the rankings except twenty." The scumbag is the youngest resident mage in the City of Miracles. His backing is as formidable as ever. He must have brains, good looks, and intrigues. Why should he get into trouble? What can he give? Something happened to me? That scumbag even fell off the overall strength rankings!"

Diana was startled by the manic aura on Futaba's body that was almost visible to the naked eye, and whispered: "Little Futaba, please... calm down."

"I'm not calm!"

Futaba wrinkled her nose and hummed: "I'm just very unhappy! Very, very unhappy!"

"Actually, even if the cards seem to have bad meanings, they may not really mean that something bad will happen. It doesn't matter whether it's an astrolabe, you, uh, or a tarot card."

Diana smiled and gently rubbed the three tarot cards in her hand: "If I follow the interpretation you told me before, for example, well... I don't know how you understand the reversed sun, but there are also Maybe it’s saying that your competitive mentality is too strong and you need to relax properly?”

Futaba shook his head: "Although you definitely don't know what it is, I can tell you clearly that this thing represents [Black Sun]."

“In divination, there is never such a thing as ‘clear’.”

Diana said noncommittally, and then took out the second card: "Then there is the tower in the right position. Although this card itself has almost no positive meaning, it has the quality of 'suggesting changes', so it can also go to Think on the bright side, for example, when you do something that goes against your own common sense, you will get good results~"

Futaba was expressionless: "No, I think this is simply 'adversity' and 'fatal blow'."

“Destiny may be direct, but it is never simple.”

Diana smiled and picked up the third card: "Finally, the God of Death, what do you understand?"

"Failure and Death."

Futaba gave an answer without hesitation.

"But in my opinion, it also means 'starting over', of course, provided that the interpretation you told me before is correct."

Diana handed the three cards back to Futaba and smiled: "You may lose some benefits, but there may be new developments, and... there will be new changes in the relationship, starting a new stage, haha, I don’t know why I’m a little envious.”

"Don't bring your love brain to me."

Futaba laughed dryly and shrugged...

"The fate of your family, I just think that I am going to be unlucky."
