Blooming Tower of the West Wind

Shepard was knocked away quickly. A pretty little girl looked at her timidly, hesitating to speak, but someone urged her from behind. She panicked when she saw her, and pulled Theron's hand. Hand said: "I, I. I like you too! I have noticed you since you first entered school! I took the water element practical class with you, and you once copied my homework, do you remember? I stole I've heard you talk about the elemental syntax exercise set, and you are so beautiful when you talk about the questions... It's okay if you don't remember, my name is Heath Starchaser, but I'm leaving school soon, I hope you know!" She shook her hand as she spoke Caught Theron's hand.

Theron nodded blankly, and said hesitantly, "Oh...thank you..."

Heath Starchaser was also knocked away, and another person immediately occupied the place and said "like" to her. Boys, girls, tall or short, appeared in front of her in turn, expressing that they did not know why. until someone pulled Theron domineeringly and forcefully, and Theron staggered down and was about to rush into an embrace, but was held down by someone's shoulders ahead of time. She was about to reprimand the visitor for not obeying the order, but At this time, someone spoke in her ear, not to her, but related to her.

"I'm sorry, but I have something urgent to find her, please find another opportunity."

"Old, teacher?!"

There were still people who didn't recognize Hipper and wanted to reprimand her for touching everyone's little fairy at will, but a certain cold temperament stopped them. The cold gray eyes of the archmage swept the crowd one by one. Theron, who was usually very thoughtful Then he stood beside her awkwardly and looked down at the hands they were holding in embarrassment.

The archmage put his arms around her waist and led her out of the dance floor.

Theron was hesitant to ask her what was urgent, but Hipper asked first: "Did you need me for something during the previous song?"

Theron opened his mouth, thinking: What should I answer?It turned out that she just walked towards me, but she misunderstood that I had something to ask her for.I said no, would she immediately turn around and leave?

"I...well...actually..." Hipper's hand around her waist slid along with her thinking expression, and Theron was afraid of scaring her away, so he faltered and tried to delay.

"Huh?" Hipper looked up at her, as she had done many times before to encourage her to continue answering questions.

Simply encourage her to continue talking.

"Hmm... are you hungry?" She glanced at the equally lively dining area from the corner of her eyes, and asked suddenly.

Hipper burst out laughing.

"Are you tired?" Theron felt that the question just now was a bit silly, so he changed it.But when you think about it, it's still just as stupid.

"It's a little tired."

"Then why don't you take a break, what do you want to eat, I'll get it for you?"

Hipper shook her head slowly, pushed her waist, and said, "Let's go get it together."

The things in the self-service area were basically turned into a mess. She grabbed two pieces of grilled steak and gave one to Theron. If she didn't fall down on the archmage, she just opened her hand suddenly, and a small wind blade wrote the steak into fine pieces. The archmage forked a piece with a fork, stretched it to Theron's mouth, and said, "Try it!" Try it, I remember it was delicious, I hope the school doesn't change the cook."

Theron lowered his head and bit off the piece of meat, chewed it slowly, and then expressed his feelings: "Yes, it's delicious, you can try it too." She also forked a piece and handed it to Hipper's mouth, and Hipper bowed her head Bite away, savor it slowly and say, "Well... I think it still tastes like it used to."

The Meserani region is a region with traditional Nislan flavors, and the food on the table can almost be regarded as Hipper’s hometown dish. She made some cheese pork balls, mashed potatoes and juice to fill her stomach, and then took Theron to eat every meal. I ate all kinds of food. There are no dining seats here. There are only a few high tables as places for everyone to lean on and put their plates on. They can only eat standing up. She always feeds Theron with the food on her plate and tells her " This is delicious, you have a taste", not noticing that someone is looking at this side.

The two girls are behind the multi-layer plate rack, and there are two bacon quiche casually placed on one of the plates. They don't seem to be interested in eating. Jane grabs Luna violently, turns her head and says excitedly but in a low voice. : "Did you see that!"

"what did you see?"

"Don't worry about eating," she snatched the small cake that Luna was about to eat, quickly stuffed it into her mouth, and then chanted affectionately with a narration that was close to a chant: "Theron raised his head and asked carefully Her indifferent governess, 'Would you like to try this?' Seeing no disapproval on her face, happily forked a small piece of food with her own fork and brought it to the Archmage's mouth, who ate it absent-mindedly. It seems that this has happened so many times among them that they are used to it, and no one will pay attention to it."

"What?!" Luna's voice nearly knocked the roof over, and Jen hurriedly told her to shut up.

Luna lay on the table and poked her head out from the gap on the penultimate floor to see that the Archmage and Theron had dropped her screams and turned their attention back to each other. Sure enough, the Archmage fed Theron A browned fried ring, Luna looked at the same pan of fried food next to it, which was fried onion rings.

Theron took a bite obediently, and the archmage said something, which seemed to be "don't be so anxious".Theron narrowed his eyes with happiness, and Luna asked strangely, "Is it really so delicious?"

Jane walked over to her and took a piece with her hand, and said while eating: "You imagine the archmage feeding you like this, do you feel any special sweetness?"

"...I'm sure it's the natural sweetness of onions."

But this was enough to make people scream. The two girls pretended to be calm and finished eating the fried onion rings in their hands.

Theron suddenly asked: "Where is Tius?" She only thought of Tius now.

"Didn't you see it? It's over there, surrounded by several girls." She pointed to a place a little further to the left with a fork, and sure enough, there were several girls surrounded by a circle of waiting seats by the edge of the dance floor. Looking at Tius, he kept admiring "so cute", "so soft" and "good bounce" while stroking the cotton pad that Tius turned over. There was still a pile of steaks as high as a hill on the seat next to him. All the steaks here were brought to Tius, someone cut them into small pieces and fed them to him.

"This scheming dog." Theron was angry and funny.

"Yeah, don't worry about it." The archmage seemed to know this lawless footstool very well, and was not surprised at all.

"Shall we go over there and see it?" Theron asked, but she was really just trying to scare Tius by taking the Archmage there.

The two of them left the dining area and moved to the other side of the dance floor. Jane and Luna watched them leave. At this time, a student they didn't know came over and asked, "Hey, what grade is the person with short blonde hair over there? Do you know him? ?"

Luna laughed and said, "Third grade."

The man clapped his hands, "Great! Thank you, thank you. There is such a beautiful girl in school and I just found out today. I'm going to ask her to dance."

After the man left, Luna and Jane followed behind, snickering all the way.Sure enough, the archmage coldly rejected the visitor.But now fewer and fewer people don't know Hipper, but more and more people know Theron. The two have encountered a lot of obstacles along the way, especially those who came to Yossarian.

It is very bad to refuse other people's invitations to dance at the ball, but I didn't expect that there would be so many after rejecting one. Theron gradually couldn't stand it anymore, and turned to Hipper for help.

But before she could see Hipper clearly, she was held by someone's hand, gently swayed, and fell into a soft and warm place.

Theron hurriedly stood up straight, but even face to face, she now lacks the courage to look directly at Hipper, will the teacher be unhappy?

She didn't know, but there was a hand around her waist.Not just put it on the back politely and distantly, but pressed it on the back of the waist in an unruly manner.

"Sorry, I have an appointment first."

When the music sounded, Hipper suddenly realized that there must be many people who knew that this song was next, so they rushed to find Theron, right?

Although in theory you can dance any dance step in any song, this Tiprofen dance is different. In many people's childhood, dance teachers will use this song to teach a special dance step-the spin step And chain steps, so whenever the song plays, everyone will dance the same dance.

Theron quickly realized this, too, but she wasn't ready at all-ready to use the skills taught by Kova, which is too shameful, do you have to play tricks on your teacher?Or...or for this purpose?She didn't dare to look up at Hipper at all, she lowered her head and almost stared at her toes.

"Theron, pay attention."

"...Huh? Oh..." Although she agreed, she didn't express anything special. Hipper had to raise her chin, like an ordinary teacher correcting a student's movements.

But Theron can't treat her so normally. Hipper gave her enough "gifts" today. They used to have a lot of intimate gestures. Both of them regarded it as normal. What does Hipper think about this? She has no idea No idea, but Theron liked it a lot.Hipper sometimes lifts her chin to prevent damage to her cervical spine by keeping her head down for too long, as she did today.

But today's lights are ambiguous, and the streamer in Hipper's eyes flickers, as if hiding some fantasy feelings, as if she has been staring at herself like this.

Theron didn't have the courage to look, but he didn't want to miss it, so he pretended to look ahead over Hipper's shoulder, with the corner of his eye glued to her face.

It's just that it's not very clear, she can't tell whether Hipper is looking at her, or looking away like her.
