Since Keech left, Hill has brought the megaphone with him.

However, autumn and winter came, and summer was approaching in a blink of an eye, but the microphone did not make any sound, which made Hill worried.But when he thought that the Magic Association would not put Tina in danger, and even if she encountered danger, with Tina's character and morality, she would not abandon Kiki, Hill felt that his worries were unnecessary.

—Kiki will come back safely.

Hill can only comfort himself in this way.

This afternoon, Hill was invited to attend an afternoon tea hosted by a countess, and when he was smiling and chatting with a noble lady, the microphone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Hill hurriedly found a reason to get rid of the noble lady in front of him, quietly and quickly left the garden where the tea party was located, and found an unoccupied lounge inside the mansion.

After closing the door, Hill took out the microphone, opened the lid, and put it to his ear.

"Hill?" A boy's voice came from the megaphone immediately, but it was much hoarse than the one in Hill's memory.

But the next moment, Hill burst out laughing.

How could he have forgotten that every boy will grow up, and Kiki has finally entered the period of changing his voice.

"It's me, Keech," Hill replied with a smile.

But the other side fell silent, and after a while said again: "I, I'm back to Yasha."

"Welcome back, my dear Kitsch." Hill said softly, "I've been thinking of you."

"Well, me too." Hearing this sentence, Kiki's voice was obviously much happier.

——Still so sensitive!

Hill smiled and recalled Kiki's current appearance, and continued to ask: "Where are you now? The Magic Association?"

"No, I'm in...the city of Asshai." Kiki replied with a little hesitation.

"Eh? What's the matter, what happened? Can I help?" Hill asked immediately.

"Um... can you find a carriage to pick me up?" Keech seemed to be organizing his words, "Tina and Amir are both busy, so they can't take me with them, and they don't have time to send me back to the Magic Association .”

"Where are you now?" Hill asked.

"The magic association in the city... Uh, I don't know what it's called... a five-story mage tower..." Kidge replied hesitantly.

"I know, the Mage Contact Tower." Hill said immediately, "I'll go there right away, wait for me at the door, okay?"

"Ah."

"See you later, then."

"Ah."

Hearing the sound of the microphone being closed from the other side, Hill also closed the lid, turned around and walked out of the lounge, apologized to the hostess of the tea party on the grounds of sudden discomfort, and then boarded his carriage and asked the driver to The Magic Association set up a mage contact tower in the city of Yasha and drove to it.

Since the Midsummer Festival next month will be the twentieth anniversary celebration of Emperor De Rossi's ascension to the throne, in order not to miss the celebration, most of the nobles left the territory early and rushed to the imperial capital, which made the traffic on the streets of the imperial capital obviously much denser than before. It also took quite a while for Er's carriage to get from the countess' mansion to the mage's contact tower.

Through the car window, Hill saw the black-haired boy standing at the door of the mage tower at a glance.Just like his voice, his body has also grown significantly taller, which makes his originally weak figure even more slender.Maybe it's because of the weather, or maybe he really doesn't like it, but Keech still doesn't wear his magic robe, but wears it on his arm. He only wears a thin shirt with short and messy pants. Black hair, somewhat unkempt.

—that was not the clothes he had bought for him.

Hill narrowed his eyes, but soon let out a self-deprecating sigh.He forgot again that he had grown taller and grown up. Even if he wanted to wear those clothes before, he would definitely not be able to wear them anymore.

After a relieved smile, Hill straightened his expression, opened the car door, and waved to Keech.

Keech quickly noticed his approach, smiled happily, and strode towards him.

Hill smiled and stretched out his hand, pulling Keech into the carriage.

"Do I have to go back to the Magic Association immediately?" Hill asked as he closed the car door.

"...Not really." Kiki hesitated for a moment, "However, if I don't go back to the association, I have to tell Tina first."

"May I ask Magician Tina and Lord Amir what they are doing?" Hill couldn't help wondering, what could be so important that they left their little apprentices aside and ignored them.

"Tina is going to set up the magic weapon exhibition, and Amir... seems to be going to the palace." Keech replied uncertainly.

—the palace?

Hill was slightly taken aback, then remembered that next month would be the anniversary celebration, and both the Empire of Oz and the Holy See were invited, in order to ensure the safety of these people, or to be more precise, to ensure that the Borgia royal family and Yaron For the safety of the empire, it is inevitable to hire some magicians as guards.

But this kind of thing is not suitable for him to inquire about, so Hill turned the topic to the magic weapon exhibition.

"Is the magic weapon exhibition just displaying all kinds of magic weapons for everyone to watch?" Hill asked.

"At least I think so." Keech shrugged. "However, Tina said that some of them should be sold after the exhibition is over—there are a lot of rich people in these two months."

"Magician Tina is right. Those who will come to the imperial capital in these two months are all rich people." Hill laughed.

"Why?" Kiki asked in bewilderment.

"You don't know? Midsummer's Day next month is the twentieth anniversary celebration of Emperor De Rossi's ascension to the throne." Hill raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"...Why should I know?" Keech tilted his head and asked back.

"Well, good question." Hill chuckled, "Okay, forget about the anniversary celebration, let's think about how we want to celebrate our long-lost reunion."

"Go and drink the blood of the rose." Keech replied without thinking.

"Don't tell me you've been thinking about it," Hill said with mock gloom. "I'd be jealous."

"...Sorry." Kitsch blinked, "But I've been thinking about it."

"Kiki!" Hill rushed up angrily, pressed Kiki under him, and rubbed him hard.

Keech didn't resist, just giggled, as naughty as an ordinary boy.

——He is changing, when he can't see it, he is more confident last year, and more cheerful this year.

Seeing Kiki like this, Hill couldn't help feeling a little complicated.

——If this continues, will he still be his magician, his boy?Will he meet new friends and meet a lover he likes more?

Thinking about it, Hill couldn't help being a little distracted.

"Sill?" Kiki noticed his change, raised his hand suspiciously, and shook it in front of him.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Hill hurriedly smiled at Kiki, but then couldn't help lowering his head and kissing him lightly on the lips.

Keech was still lying there obediently, and Hill couldn't help but feel that he didn't hate him for treating him like this, and even had some expectation.

Unfortunately, they were in a carriage, on a busy street.

Thinking of this, Hill helplessly suppressed his slowly rising desire, pulled Kiki up, and said with a smile, "Go to Golden Lotus, and book a room for you there by the way."

"Yeah." Keech nodded, but he was obviously not very excited.

Hill couldn't help being moved, tentatively hugged Kiki into his arms, and whispered in his ear, "I'll stay with you tonight, let's play that game about feelings together."

"...Mmm." Kitch responded inaudibly, the expression on his face remained the same, but there was an obvious blush at the base of his ears in an instant.

Just as Hill guessed, when Keech was pressed down by Hill, he already had some kind of expectation that he didn't want to admit. He wanted to be kissed, hugged, and...he had What the carriage did for him.

In fact, not only now, he was already thinking about it when he was still in the remote underground palace, following Tina, Amir and other magicians to excavate and sort out the magical relics in it.

Whenever he lay alone on the hard bed late at night and could not fall asleep, he would involuntarily recall the trembling when he was kissed, the warmth when he was hugged, and the comfort when he was comforted.He had tried to use his own hands to find all the sensations at that time, but the result disappointed him. He even... couldn't make the organ between his legs full.

--why?

Keech couldn't figure it out.Fortunately, there are many things during the day, most of the time he can fall asleep quickly because of fatigue, such confusion, troubles and thoughts only appear occasionally.

Kitsch turned his head involuntarily, and quietly looked at his noble friend.

Hill had also grown taller, and was obviously stronger and stronger than him, which made Keech, who thought he had finally grown up, somewhat depressed.The handsome face didn't change much, but there seemed to be a little shadow in the smile. Although it was still warm, it was far from as bright as when we first met.

"How are you lately?" Keech couldn't help asking.

Xier just finished talking to the coachman, when he heard this, he couldn't help turning his head in doubt, "Why do you ask that?"

"You look..." Keech didn't know how to describe it.

"Maybe it's because I haven't slept well recently." Hill heard what he meant, and immediately replied with a smile, "Because I miss Kiki, I can't sleep at night."

Keech twitched the corners of his mouth. Although he knew Hill was joking, he couldn't help but feel happy about it.

"Don't worry about me." Hill lowered his head and kissed Kidge on the forehead, "It's true that some things are bothering me, but I'll take care of it, trust me."

"...Hmm." Kiki had no choice but to shut up.

Hill smiled and hugged Kiki even tighter.

As he grew older, coupled with the not-so-good current situation of the Balotelli family, his grandfather began to think of marriage, and even chose a marriage partner he thought was suitable for Hill to choose.But this matter is not enough to trouble Hill. After all, marriage is an innate responsibility for nobles, and they have been mentally prepared for it since the day they became sensible.Moreover, before Hill started to deal with it, his father Angel took the initiative to act as a shield, sent back the portrait sent by his grandfather intact, and used Hill's young age as the reason for the marriage. pause.

What really makes Hill feel hard is how he should plan and seek his own future.After stepping into the social circle, Hill finally realized that the so-called power is not as simple as putting on a title or getting a position. Power needs more conditions to support it, such as wealth at his disposal, loyalty and A follower with certain abilities, trust and even admiration from those around him...but he lacks all of these.

Hill was thinking to himself mockingly, but the carriage stopped suddenly.

Hill couldn't help being slightly startled, and subconsciously withdrew his hand from Kiki.

The moment he moved his hand away, the door of the carriage was suddenly pulled open, and the familiar blond hair came into his eyes suddenly, and the same familiar voice sounded, "The windows are still closed this season, and the car inside is loaded with Which... eh?"

"Joy—" Hill couldn't help sighing, and looked at his friend helplessly, "Why are you here? Shouldn't the Knights be very busy recently?"

"Today I take a day off." Joey jumped into the carriage in a daze, closed the door, and sat across from Hill and Kidge. While raising his hand and knocking on the window, he signaled the carriage to continue driving, while turning his gaze to the strange man. Keech, "Whose child is this, why have I never seen it before?"

"Kiki." Hill had no choice but to introduce, "A friend I met in the Magic Association."

"Magician?" Joey raised his eyebrows in surprise, only then did he notice the magic robe hanging on Kiki's arm.

Keech is also quietly looking at Joey at this moment.This robust young man seems to be a bit older than Hill. Although he does not exude unparalleled delicacy and elegance from head to toe like Hill, one can tell from the blond hair that he must be a nobleman, and that A noble with a very pure bloodline.

—— Hill knew this person very well, even better than him.

Unconsciously, Keech felt very unhappy because of the familiar and casual tone of Hill and Joey.

"My name is Joey, Joey Grant, a... trainee knight of the Yalong Royal Knights." Saying that, Joey stretched out his right hand to Kiki.

Keech didn't respond, just looked at him indifferently, without saying a word.

"Sorry, I'm a little familiar?" Joey was a little embarrassed, but he didn't care about it. He took his hand back with a self-deprecating look, and turned to look at Hill, "Hey, don't just watch the fun, let me introduce you. After all, he is also your childhood sweetheart friend, so you just look at me coldly!"

"Please don't use the lingua franca." Hill rolled his eyes back at him, then turned his head and introduced to Kiki, "Joy lives next door to my house. We have known each other since we were very young. He is considered...a good friend."

"Hey! Just good friends?" Joey immediately yelled in dissatisfaction, "We grew up naked together as good friends!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I've never been disheveled like you said." Hill replied solemnly.

"Oh, my God, if I can't see the Adam's apple clearly, I will definitely think that this magician is a woman disguised as a man!" Joey exaggeratedly said, "You are simply emphasizing sex over friends!"

"Okay, you got into my carriage just to cry about my indifference to you?" Hill rolled his eyes, "Where's Jordan? Did you throw it away?"

"How is it possible?" Joey pouted, "If your carriage can hold it, I will definitely bring it in, but obviously, the space here is too small, not enough..."

"Joy—" Hill interrupted not too much annoyance, "If you are just bored, please get out of the car and let me concentrate on entertaining my friends."

"Hill, you old-fashioned bastard, I'm your friend too!" Joey widened his eyes, but before Hill pushed him away again, he continued, "I'm going to Bath with McPhee and the others , you also bring your new friend along."
