Thinking about it carefully, January this year seems to be more exciting than every January in previous years.

Needless to say, the hunter qualification test, which starts on January [-] every year, is a big event known to everyone in the world.There is another big event, the first of its kind that has never happened before: A certain flower shop is going to hold a public meet and greet only for regular customers.

——Is this a joke?He actually mentioned the hunter test and some inexplicable meeting together.

If someone who is completely ignorant of the cause and effect hears the news, they will definitely raise the above question.

But the fact is exactly the case, and, in the human group that has more than 80.00% of the total number of people who know about it, almost no one would think that the flower shop meeting is not eligible to appear in the same sentence as the hunter test.

Mostly because of curiosity.

All the old customers who picked up the treasured unbeaten flowers at the first time when they got the news, packed their luggage and went to the designated place, the first reaction that came to their minds was probably complete excitement and exploration.

"Elysee" was originally a fire because of the owner's photo showing only the side face.

Just the fact that the mysterious Elysee suddenly surfaced was not enough to cause such a big shock. "Being able to see the more mysterious owner himself" is what really attracts people's attention.

——No matter what, you must take a look at the real person.

——How can such a good opportunity be missed, I have been curious for too long, I have been waiting for too long, even in my dreams, I can't help but wonder what the young man who caught a glimpse of that day looked like in reality.

This should be the common thought of the people gathered at the entrance of the hotel mentioned in the announcement at this moment.

A day, two days earlier... No, the hotel was surrounded from the moment the announcement was made.

Even though the person in charge explained dryly that he hadn't received any booking orders, the crazy crowd still swarmed in. If it weren't for the help of the Hunter Association, the traffic order and public security in Kent City would have been messed up long ago.

That's right, it's such a coincidence that this year's hunter test is also held in Kent.Moreover, the test started on January [-]th, the same day as the meet and greet.

--come yet?How long is it?

The time has become so long.

It is obvious that the people who come here cannot all have pure curiosity and anticipation. It can be said that there are not a few people with unspeakable thoughts.

I don't know when, the hotel's extraordinarily ornately repaired door has been closed tightly, and it seems that it has not been opened for a long time.

wait.

Restless.

commotion.

at last……

The hour and minute hands arrived at their proper positions under the expectant eyes of countless people: morning, 09:30.

Accompanied by a heavy thud, the "door" slowly opened.

"Come on! Let's go in!"

"I've been waiting for so long, the ones in front are still leaving?!"

"Hurry up and give way to my lord!"

Before the door was fully opened, there was a mighty wave of voices coming over. If it formed a real force, it would probably raze this luxurious hotel to the ground.

If at this time, someone ignored the rules and forcibly squeezed to the front to enter the gate first, it would only take a second for the barely maintained order to collapse: in this long line, there are many hidden strong men.

"Crackling——"

The live broadcast to the millions of viewers who couldn't come in person has already started, the helicopter is circling overhead, and the lens of the camera is also pointed at the bright or dark corner.

The reporter raised the camera that had been prepared by the spotlight, and the mysterious comers who covered themselves with cloaks—there were killers, mercenaries, and professional hunters hidden in the crowd—quietly held the gun hidden on their bodies. arms.

Even ordinary people who simply wanted to see the true face of the shopkeeper couldn't help holding up their "tickets". The bunches or multiple bunches of flowers that were not necessarily of the same type passed over the heads of the dark crowd and struggled to bathe in the morning sun. Among them, the edges of the petals faintly have dazzling brilliance flowing.

At this moment, it is hard to count how many pairs of eyes are staring forward.

The heart seems to have reached the throat at this moment.

Because, that door is finally about to open wide, revealing the scene inside.

- Click.

It was the last soft slam of the door.

Although at the same time, those lucky enough to occupy the front row felt the wind blowing past their ears, as if someone was passing by at a speed invisible to the naked eye, bringing a burst of coolness, but also I didn't take it to heart at all.

Come, come, come, come!Could it be that the person who appeared behind the door, who was in the darkness and slowly opened the door——

"Tap...tap."

This is another light sound of the soles colliding with the smooth and identifiable ground.

Under the gaze of countless fiery eyes, the people who appeared at the door really lived up to expectations, and they were the first to show the long blue hair they were expecting.

That was—what a [] man.

The stiff, close-fitting but solemn and polite waiter's uniform was put on by him, which seemed a bit more rough and wild.The slender legs wrapped in trousers, and a black jacket that clings to the waist on top of a white shirt jacket, clearly reveals the man's strong, tall and extremely explosive body, as if the body covered by expensive fabrics hides a terrifying secret. strength.

In front of the collar, there should have been a bow tie.But it can be seen that the bow tie was torn off impatiently by him, and the top two buttons were not fastened, and it was loose, exposing the chest with dark muscles indifferently.

The first thing people outside saw was the blue, which was the man's hair, which was obviously impatiently tied up and then thrown to his chest.

"--Snapped."

Accompanied by the loud sound of an elbow being slapped on the door frame, the hearts of almost everyone who heard this sound couldn't help but tremble.

"Get in line."

Except for the blue hair, this man who didn't meet everyone's expectations at all, glanced around for a week with red eyes full of indifference and warning.

"Then, let me come in one by one."

After saying this, a black shadow flashed across the door. It turned out that the man raised his hand and threw a mass of human corpses in shape and size through the door.

"..."

"..."

Damn, it's really a corpse.

The coke-like corpse that fell not far from the door was quickly and silently dragged down. Unexpectedly, there were still people looking at each other, touching the chest where the heart was still beating wildly, pretending that nothing happened here Happened to turn his face away.

The line was still so long, but compared to just now, it was obviously much quieter now.

It was too quiet—everyone who passed by the blue-haired man in a waiter's uniform and guarded the door with his hands folded had to feel the horror of the aura lingering around the man at close range.

However, after getting away from that man, the air seemed to be fresh, and I could breathe a sigh of relief.

Stepping through that door, what unfolds before you is a spacious and luxurious space.It should be taken for granted, after all, this is a star luxury hotel.

For the environment, there is no need to go into details, because it is only secondary.

Across a long corridor where the other waiters were somehow invisible, the road ended in a huge ballroom made of marble.The hall door was still closed, and a stone table was placed beside it, and someone sat behind the table, waiting patiently for the arrival of the guests.

This boy who was also wearing a waiter's uniform was the second staff member they saw along the way.

Completely different from the previous person—his companion, the white-haired boy who always had a smile on his lips was so amiable.He carefully collected all the "invitation cards" from the guests and kept records.

I don't know how he put them there. Obviously, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find a container that could hold such a large number of bouquets. The flowers that he took away disappeared quietly when the previous owner didn't pay attention, and the table was still empty.

For those guests who were convinced by his smile and sincere eyes and were willing to hand over the tickets, his attitude was really cordial and friendly, and his voice was like a spring breeze. After thanking the guests, he also told the guests very carefully, Just go straight behind the door.

However, amidst this, it was inevitable that Cu Chulainn's relaxed attitude after passing the door could not help revealing some counterexamples of his treacherous thoughts.To them, the gentle and gentle white-haired boy still smiled slightly.

"We welcome every guest who brings an admission ticket. However, this guest, please restrain your eyes a little bit, the idea that people don't like it has been clearly revealed."

If so, it still didn't work.

The boy stood up without haste.

The cross was still hanging on his chest, as well as his earlobes on both sides, adding a layer of deep sanctity and tolerance to his already friendly temperament.

Yes, it is tolerance.

He wouldn't be angry, because these accidents had already been expected in advance, and he tolerated them all without exception.

However, "tolerance" is limited to this predictable behavior, not to the villains themselves who intend to do things that are not allowed.

"Please forgive me, I have to take some tough measures."

"Because I don't want our master to be disturbed by these trivial matters, I will try my best to control the movement and sound... Sorry, unwelcome guests, what I will say next is the best choice for you."

As he said this, dark shadows loomed in his eyes, but in fact, the boy was still smiling apologetically.

"Please leave your admission tickets, and then, leave here as quickly as possible."

*****

On the high platform directly in front of the hall, Airlie sat upright with a serious face, and had been sitting for almost an hour.

During this rather long waiting time, his sitting posture has hardly changed, and he has always maintained uprightness and rigor, and he will never allow him to slack off in the slightest.The only thing I can find to relax myself during this tense period is to take the opportunity to look at the hall that will become the meeting place.

The high platform he was on was just enough to have a clear view of the scene in the hall.

A blue curtain surrounds the surroundings.

The white marble floor is as smooth as a mirror, on which there are rows of tables covered with blue tablecloths, and matching seats are arranged, perpendicular to the high platform, corresponding to each other.

In addition, there is a chandelier hanging from the center of the ceiling, no matter from which angle you look at it, the reflected light is perfect.

Well, it's perfect.

The style of the chandeliers and tables and chairs was chosen by Ruler, while the tablecloths and drapes were a color that Berserker only glanced at, as if quite casually, when Airlie asked for advice.The decorative vases placed on each table were chosen by Airlie after much deliberation.

All in all, this is a venue prepared by gathering everyone's strength, which shows how much Ellie attaches great importance to this meeting.

meeting……

Even so, it still feels very awkward.He has never been exposed to this kind of thing, and he never thought that he would participate in it himself one day. It is just like the daily life of idols that Mr. Meilin introduced to him in detail-meeting "fans" in the public.

"Uh... Otherwise, let's find another way. I'm not an idol, and I don't have any fans. It always feels weird..."

"No no no, you are our favorite magic☆ Ellie."

"Demon... what? Teacher Merlin, did you involve me in some weird incident again?"

"No, absolutely not. Well, at most, I borrowed your name to replace the no longer popular magic☆Mei Li, to bring some comfort to the withered heart of the useless otaku——hmm, ignore the unimportant details , Even from a practical point of view, this is the most practical method at present, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the Ruler for his opinion, go ahead, he will definitely agree anyway.”

Ellie really went to ask for advice, and then got an affirmative answer——Amakusa thought so too.It is not impossible for them to take the initiative to find the customers who bought the flowers to recycle the magic flowers, but the efficiency is too low.

Holding a meeting, although not everyone can come with magic flowers, but at least a considerable part will come, which greatly reduces the workload of their recycling.

However, Ellie, who was pushed out as a gimmick, was still not clearly aware of the terrifying impact he had on the outside world until the day the meeting started.

The night before, the self-proclaimed experienced flower magician specially used a dream as a special training for Ellie, mainly explaining what he should and should not do on the day of the meeting.

What you should do is - sit quietly in your seat, watch the people who walk in front of you, and shake hands with them.

What not to do - walking around without security personnel present, interacting too intimately with fans...thousands of words omitted below.

Even though Airlie was listening intently, by the end, she was still groggy.

Teacher Meilin's explanation was still too profound for him, and there were too many things to pay attention to.

Regarding this, Merlin said: "I just read all the content in the idol training manual. In fact, you only need to memorize the first two. The rest is up to you."

"Look at yourself", that is to say, you need to integrate the truth, combine it with reality, and adapt to the situation.

Airlie pondered for a long time, but couldn't draw any reliable conclusions.However, time was running out, and in the end, he could only sit nervously on the high platform, waiting for the so-called "fans" to enter.

Sure enough, it still feels weird.

but……

His eyes stayed on the door that blocked his sight, and he could vaguely hear the noise outside.

At any rate, Ruler was there, and Berserker reluctantly agreed to help. As the Master, he couldn't slack off.

"Okay, making 'fans' happy with simple conversations and handshakes...it's a bit difficult, but I'll try my best."

……

The heavy wooden door leading directly to the banquet hall finally opened slowly.

The first lucky person who stepped into the hall with cautious and slightly trembling steps, if anyone still remembers the original interview video, will find that this person is the lucky customer who first discovered Elysee.

The girl who is not very young but has full luck is not attracted by the shiny furnishings in the hall.The first moment she came here, she unconsciously looked forward, and then she couldn't look away.

On the high platform, the blue-haired youth also saw her.

The photos that shocked the world before were completely eclipsed in front of him, and they couldn't arouse any reverberation in his heart.

Too beautiful.

Any dirty thoughts can't arise, just because I'm afraid of staining those dark blue eyes with a little bit of dust.It even made people think involuntarily, in order to see such a beautiful person with their own eyes, wasting money and time, and traveling across the ocean with untold hardships... It's worth it, it's really worth it.

Because, it is estimated that there is only this one chance in a lifetime!

——Actually, this was his own negligence.

——After staying with heroic spirits and humans with strong magic power for too long, it has been a long time since I have experienced a world full of ordinary people.His charm and beauty, even a heroic spirit, is hard to resist when released, let alone a human being?

Although self-awareness has recovered, Xu Shi, a young man who is still too naive after all, is a little happy.

He couldn't help curling his lips slightly, and with a little surprise, he waved to the guests who were stunned.

At this point, the guest who was completely confused opened his legs again and floated forward in a daze.

He sent a bunch of flowers that he had picked and planted in his arms tightly just to bring here, and sent them to the young man.

……

……

Airlie's first "meeting meeting" in his long life lasted for half a day and ended quite smoothly.

He strictly followed the teachings of Mr. Meilin, "shake hands" with every fan, and communicated briefly... although he regrettably rejected the request to take a photo with them in the end.

Because there are too many people, each "fan" has almost no time to stay. After getting off the high platform, he has to leave through another door immediately to make room for the people behind.

There must be dissatisfaction, and it is impossible not to give up, but surprisingly, no one in the audience made trouble, and they all left obediently in an orderly manner—although, when they left, their expressions were tranced and mixed with indescribable emotions. Distorted as if he had been severely threatened by someone.

Airlie himself was a little surprised, but overall, he...

Well, very happy.

So much so that at the end of the meeting, the look on his face was much softer than before, and he also brought a faint smile.

Just at eight o'clock in the evening, the last guest to meet today came in front of him.

Already overwhelmed by the flowers and gifts sent by fans, Ellie poked his head out reluctantly, and took a look——

Standing in front of the table, he was looking at his last guest with curious eyes. It was a little boy about twelve or thirteen years old, with a turban on his head and a fishing rod on his shoulder, full of energy.

"Hello, beautiful big brother, can I make friends with you? Oh, my name is Kim, Kim Frieze."

The spirited child spoke with deep doubts: "By the way, is the initial test of the hunter exam already over? Why am I the only one who came in?"

Airlie: "..."

"Hunter... Exam?"

"Yeah, Kent City, XX Hotel—the exact address of the entrance I found is here."

I didn't know what happened at all, so I had no choice but to look silently at the Heroic Spirits who just came in: "..."

Thinking about it, it seemed that there were indeed many suspicious people without flowers who wanted to force their way in, but they were all kicked out by Silence: "..."

I knew there was such a thing, but I really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. There was only a silent apology for the examiners who didn't show up on time: "..."

"...Ah, did we accidentally screw up something important?"

"..."

"It doesn't matter master, we can at least...can help make up the numbers."

……

the next day.

Strange things happened.

When I woke up, it seemed that the whole world had made an agreement, and it was completely forgotten——

A flower shop named Elysee held a meet and greet on the day the hunter test started... I forgot that such a thing happened.

Is there something wrong?

Maybe after ten days and a half months, someone will frown and think for a long time, but they can't think of anything.Then, he glanced at the TV by the way.

Having said that, how many people passed the 267th hunter exam this year?

Oh, four.

That's not too bad.

*****

"Doctor... It seems that he has fallen into inexplicable sadness these days."

"Yes, senior, I also found out. The doctor sighed at his computer all day, and his mental state is indeed not very good."

"Could it be that Meili found out later that Magic☆Ellie is also a scam? Uh, although I always thought so... Speaking of which, Matthew, do you know who gave the rose that the doctor left in the infirmary? "

"There don't seem to be single female employees in Chaldea, but there are female Heroic Spirits, but they probably won't... right?"

"..."

"..."

Two days later, the rose in the infirmary magically disappeared.

Nothing worth noticing happened in Chaldea, which was temporarily at peace, except for King Ozymandias, the pharaoh condescended to remind the dull courtiers that it was time to summon a new heroic spirit.

"Matthew—"

"senior--"

"That Pharaoh, that Ozymandias, accused me of dawdling him and couldn't stand it any longer, and at the same time threw me a string of gold chains as a holy relic!"

"Senior, you must make good use of the holy relic provided by King Ozymandias! This time! Mister Caster will definitely be summoned!"

"Uh wait, he didn't say what heroic spirits can be summoned with this holy relic."

"..."

"..."

"The man who swore before and said, 'The princess who won't tell you her real name Yu will of course come to Yu's side impatiently', but in the end he compromised unwillingly."

Well, then go call.

Carrying Fujimaru Tachika, Mash (the name Ozymandias cannot be added due to the pharaoh's dignity) and the holy relics expected by some people are placed in the center of the magic circle.

Immediately, the colorful light shines!

"........."

"........."

"Why - is it another golden king who has never seen before, and who looks terrible?!!!"
