The Witch and the Doll Swear

EP.3 Miss Doll is cold

One day after recovering from a serious illness, Tina finally used her own legs to walk down the stairs from Liliana's room to the next floor.

After the fever subsided, Tina was asked by Alice to stay in bed and observe the impact of Wright and the others' blessings on her body. That is to say, when she first came to this city of thousand towers, Ting Na had been bedridden for eight whole days. The feeling of walking steadily was so long that Ting Na couldn't help but jump a few times when she went downstairs.

"It hurts!"

Then hit the ceiling above his head.

The second floor counting down from the top of the tower is an area with the functions of a living room and a restaurant.

Like Liliana's room, a lot of noble wood is used here, whether it's sofas, tables and chairs, cabinets displaying wine bottles, and ceiling ceilings. What about the unique atmosphere that has been refined over time? Can't hide it either.

Of course, there is no intention of covering up.

"Miss Noam, Miss Alice, good morning, Miss Liliana...haven't you woken up yet?"

"Princess Lily is resting with the other elves."

On a retro—maybe it’s a beautiful round table that has been handed down from ancient times to the present, a breakfast for one person has been set up. Nome, the elf of the earth, is sitting beside her in a daze. Tina greets her and asks about Lilia When she was doing something about Na, a green sprout suddenly appeared from the hands she held on her chest.

There are sweet pears and strawberries in the oatmeal for breakfast, probably the sprouts from those seeds.

Seeing Tina sit down, Norm nodded, "Aqua will come to clean up after the meal." After saying this, he got up and left.

Even though Tina's affinity for the earth elements has improved a lot now, Norm is not particularly close to the girl. She is the indestructible rock, the soil that nurtures life, the most loving and gentle among the six elemental elves, but also the slowest and calmest.

When Liliana and Alice are not in the tower, she seems to stay in the greenhouse of the Mage Tower for decades, cultivating all kinds of magic plants and crops, which Tina ate after coming to the Mage Tower All food and medicine are cultivated by her, and daily meals are also in charge of her.

Breakfast is very simple, a bowl of oatmeal with just the right amount, a fried beef, tomato slices and cheese between two pieces of bread, which seems to be called a burger, a small plate of pine nuts and a glass of...

Ting Na, who was really ready to start, suddenly put down the knife and fork.

"Hey, Miss Alice, the milk used to cook oatmeal and this cup, could it be..."

The little doll who heard the girl asking good morning and didn't answer raised her face from the book in her hand, and responded to Tina's conjecture with silence.

"……I'm gonna start now."

With an almost pious heart, the girl ate her breakfast thoroughly.

very delicious.

Because of the ingredients, it looked even more delicious. Tingna smacked her lips and put down the cup reluctantly.

Of course, the idea was fleeting.

Although I'm used to Liliana's naturism, it's one thing to look at it with my eyes, but it's another thing to actually attack the young lady witch.

The guilt of tarnishing that beauty is beyond Tina's imagination.

"Today's itinerary."

Alice suddenly spoke.

"Hey, ah, right, do you have any plans for Alice and Miss Liliana today?"

"Lily's schedule: noon, rest, tower maintenance; noon, meeting; night, rest. Alice's schedule: noon, no; afternoon, go to the meeting with Lily; night, no."

Alice, like Princess Frost and Snow Country, is more careful with her words than any other gestures Tina has ever seen. After saying this sentence one by one, it seems to make her feel particularly bored, and her snow-white eyebrows are all the same. Provoking Lao Gao is like blaming Ting Na for making her spend so much time talking.

"But Miss Liliana will sleep until almost noon..."

"Last night, I was very tired."

"Is the maintenance of the mage tower a tiring job..."

"..."

He was stared at like a fool.

But he nodded again, what does this mean?

Alice in this form made Tina feel even more unpredictable.

But... that's right...

What to do is also a question for Tingna that needs to be carefully considered. Lying on the bed all the time feels like her body is getting rusty. It is good to visit this city alone, but this kind of appearance wrapped in hairballs is really not suitable. Take a walk... ah.

Tina lightly hammered her hand.

"Go shopping for clothes."

Although Tina's illness has been cured, Liliana is caught by another matter and cannot escape.

Two days ago, craftsmen in a certain city in the west of the mainland officially announced that they had made something called a [steam engine] and put it into use.

According to Ms. Witch's explanation, this kind of kinetic energy machine that does not require the participation of magic may cause a major earthquake in the magic industry and various production fields with magic furnaces as the mainstream, and even rewrite the production relationship. An important event that absolutely cannot be ignored, the rare fact that all members of the Supreme Council were present, and they spent all day analyzing and discussing with scholars, so the trip to leave the City of Thousand Towers was delayed again and again, maybe.

"...we are witnessing the beginning of an era."

Liliana said so.

Tina doesn't understand why Miss Witch said that, and she doesn't understand what a [steam engine] is. There are no newspapers in the city of a thousand towers. No matter which journal is published here, it has nothing to do with easy-to-understand. The analysis of the transmission structure written on it , work conduction rate, industrial application analysis... She knows every word, but why can't she understand the combination of these words?

But there is one thing she knows very well, that is, they will spend a long time in this city above the sky.

Then, I can't wrap my waist around three times every time I go out...

What Liliana had reminded her on the first day she came to this city was finally put on the agenda after being late for eight days.

"Miss Alice, do you know where there are... um... affordable clothing stores in the City of Thousand Towers..."

Taking out the wallet from the space storage ring and flipping through it, Tingna hesitated for a moment and asked the little doll.

She wasn't sure if asking Alice, who was now a princess, was the right decision, but there was no one else in this tower to ask.

"follow."

After thinking for a while, Alice closed the book in her hand.

There was a slight weight on the right shoulder.

"Thank you, Miss Alice."

The skin only separated by a layer of fabric was not as cold as the expression of the doll girl, the girl couldn't help but smiled and rubbed her cheeks.

As a result, Alice stared at her.

……………………………………………………………………………………

Clothing store in the city of a thousand towers [Manshawei].

"--so expensive!!!"

Now, Tingna is seriously thinking about whether Alice was angry with her behavior before going out, so she brought herself to such a store.

"Image, pay attention."

The little puppet sitting on Ting Na's shoulder gave Ting Na a cold look. Whether this is telling her to pay attention to her image and not to yell or to pay attention to Alice's image to come to a store of this size, Ting Na doesn't know.

But she knew that she asked Alice in the current attire where to shop, and sure enough, it was a big mistake, just like the little puppet said, it was an unquestionable folly.

High-end clothing stores will directly use the material of the nameplate to indicate the unit.

And the row of golden nameplates engraved with 200, 300, and 1000 in front of him represented a row of clothes that were displayed on a beautiful stand in front of him, which made the girl dizzy. Even the cheapest one cost more than 100 gold coins.

"Miss Alice, this price is too exaggerated..."

Tina was crying, and there were only three small golden coins in her wallet. This was already the largest sum of money she had ever held in her life, but here, the money was probably only enough for her... um... ...how many buttons?

"Clothes, choose."

"What kind of occasion are you going to attend?"

However, Alice, who was being hugged by the girl, ignored her cries. She floated up from Tinna's arms and said two words concisely to the clerk. The young man who was still maintaining a polite smile while shouting bowed slightly, and turned his gaze away—wrong.

From the beginning when Tingna walked into the clothing store with Liliana in her arms, all the shopping guides looked at Alice instead of Tingna. Obviously, they all knew this lady doll.

"Daily life, work and affairs, the main job is clerical secretary."

"Understood, then, Miss Von Sia, please come here."

Looking closely at the girl who wrapped herself almost into a ball in a windbreaker and sweater, the male shopping guide greeted a female shopping guide and brought her into the dressing room.

Then, ten minutes later.

"Miss Alice, I really don't want it..."

Ting Na, who emerged from behind the curtain in the locker room tremblingly, even chattered her teeth when she spoke.

"I don't know how to walk in such expensive clothes..."

"come out."

The eyes of the shopping guides were still impeccably polite, but the lady doll seemed a little impatient. She didn't intend to take care of the girl who never wore clothes worth more than thirty silver coins.

That icy look that says "every second you're cringing is a waste of my time." And gets tougher with each passing minute.

There was no other way, so Ting Na had no choice but to walk out of the dressing room in small steps.

Instead of several layers of thick sweaters, a snow-white shirt, and instead of a windbreaker, a close-fitting black suit. The thick winter trousers have become a skirt that wraps around the girl's thighs. A dim light flickered.

The small leather shoes that fit her feet did not use high heels to support Tingna's already slender body. The small round toes reminded Tingna of her time as a student.

But it's just too expensive, really.

"Imitation of the uniform design of the second era of the Guanghui Academy, the year of the silver statue, basically based on the predecessor of the contemporary suit that just appeared in that era, embellished with retro Florentine noble embroidery patterns and a small amount of lace shapes, taking into account daily life. Relatively elastic and breathable material, the shirt itself is attached with [Temperature Control] and [Medium Cleansing Technique], the outer coat is sandwiched with a layer of soft ice scales and fish scales, which can be attached to various magic, the skirt's The material is the fur of the monster black bear mastiff, which is extraordinarily elastic. Master Van Rousser's work is not disrespectful no matter what occasion it is worn on. Even if it is worn on the battlefield, it can provide defense no less than a piece of light armor, ah Feng Miss Sia, if you are not satisfied with the ring around your neck, you can take it off."

The young man introduced to Alice and Tina this outfit that almost changed Tina. As soon as she finished speaking, Tina immediately put the dress on her neck to make her look like she was from a drama or a story. The velvet ring that came out was taken off.

"price?"

"Total of 350 ducats, Miss Alice, I believe it is fitting that this is Miss von Sia's first formal attire of aristocratic etiquette."

"agree."

If possible, she would like to turn around and go back to the dressing room to take off this suit immediately, but.

The price quoted by the young man completely stupefied her.

Immediately followed by a strong sense of absurdity.

Yes, this whole set with underwear is super comfortable to wear. It is relaxed and warm. It is different from my previous tight suit, and it will not hinder my movement at all. There are corners and sleeves everywhere. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to see it, but once you see the amazing patterns under the right angle and light, these decorations are retro and flashy. Tina fell in love with this suit the first second she put it on. But, but—

350 gold coins?

350...gold coins?

Even if there were men present, Tingna wanted to strip herself naked immediately and then wrap herself into a ball with a sweater and windbreaker.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Feng Xia, maybe you still think that you are just a commoner, but even if it's just an honorary title that cannot be hereditary, you will already be a nobleman when you get it."

Maybe the girl's expression was too obvious, the woman who measured her figure in the dressing room couldn't help but smiled and said to her.

"Different people's identities correspond to different clothes. As a nobleman's clothes, this set is quite common. Please don't worry, you will get used to it soon."

"I'm just worried about what to do if I get used to this kind of clothes and can no longer wear other clothes..."

Tina muttered softly, but there was only a polite but stiff smile on her face.

Because Alice had already put a few bags of gold coins on the counter, the heavy sound made Tina jump with fear.

"That, that, Miss Alice...do you really want to buy me such an expensive dress?"

The little puppet didn't intend to give Tingna time to hesitate and make other choices. After returning the small bag of gold coins that was used as change to the space storage ring, she floated onto the girl's shoulder and combed the girl's hair.

"The next reservation."

It seems...Although it is only a seeming, Miss Doll's tone seems not so cold anymore.

"No, no more..."

"Then follow."

In the farewell sound of "Thank you very much for coming" from the shop assistants, Tingna walked out of the clothing store stiffly like a puppet.

"Miss Feng Xia, Miss Doll, where are you going next?"

Seeing her coming out, the young man sitting in the carriage put down the book in his hand, and tapped the golem pulling the carriage with his staff to warm up for the upcoming journey.

In the empty eye sockets of the horses, light yellow magic power lighted up. These steel-cast golems were infused with magic power, and just like real horses, they spewed out a burst of hot air from their nostrils, pattering on the black stone. pavement.

"Shengen Mountain Block, No. 15 Xilin Street, Setilin Ancient Language Literature Research Institute.\

,""Understood, then, Miss Von Sia, would you please get in the car?"

The boy nodded and let the golem pulling the cart work. After that, the boy turned around and knocked on the body with the magic circle. The wave-like pattern on the carriage flowed a yellowish light, and the door of the carriage opened.

However, Tingna, who was standing by the carriage, looked at the sofa in the carriage, and then at the clothes on her body that were almost heavier than handcuffs and fetters.

"...ah, ah... um... do you have a towel..."

After a long time, under the doubtful eyes of the young man and Alice's silent urging, the girl finally managed to squeeze out such a sentence.

Looking at Ting Na, she really wanted to wipe every grain of dust on the ground, and the young man in the driver's seat was taken aback for a moment,

"Pfft...hahahaha, Ms. Feng Xia, I am your special car for this trip. I have done a good job in cleaning and other things. But I just put on new clothes, so it is okay if I feel unacceptable psychologically. Understandable, then—”

The boy jumped down from the driver's seat and smiled at the flushed Tinna. A test tube filled with water and a band of pods, some sulfur and leaves appeared in his hands.

"[The fruit of the vigorous tree, the leaves of natural grace, the gold of the flame abyss and the gentle waves of the quiet harbor, the dreamy foam will wash away the filth, and give clean and refreshing grace.]"

"[Acacia Cleansing Technique]."

Clusters of pure white foam floated out of the pale yellow magic circle. The young man jumped off the driver's seat, and used his staff to drag the bubbles to flutter and collide in the carriage.

Soon the entire carriage was filled with foam, and the young man waved his stick again. After singing "【Let the wind blow.】", the airflow rolled foam and flew out from the door on the other side of the carriage, a faint sulfur and The smell of acacia appeared in the carriage.

"Miss Tina, please get in the car."

After doing all this, the boy imitated the nobles and made a salute—no, it was the nobles, right?

She had seen the standard movements in Ai Lifu, and the nobles who had received strict etiquette training since childhood were very different from those who had learned halfway.

"Really, really trouble you, I'm very sorry"

Tinna, who was amazed that a coachman could use magic, quickly returned the gift.

"Ahahaha, it's okay, it's okay, Miss Feng Xia probably doesn't know, in fact, this magic robe is also quite expensive, although it is not as good as the ones worn by Miss Feng Xia and Miss Doll, but I first came to this city When you wear this suit, it is exactly the same as the current Miss Von Sia."

The boy smiled heartily and sat back in the driver's seat.

"Later, I found out that the clothes in the city of a thousand towers are absolutely worthy of the high price. They are strong and comfortable, and they are not easy to get dirty. I don't have such worries. I just get used to it."

"Eh, um, ha, ha ha... really cheerful..."

Sitting in the carriage, Ting Na, who was frantically looking for wrinkles on her body and trying to straighten them all, was at a loss for a moment.

The boy's laughter gradually stopped.

"Are you cheerful... probably."

Knocking on the golem of the horse, the carriage began to speed up, gradually burying his thoughtful smile.

"If you don't be cheerful and numb yourself in this harsh city, you will soon be unable to persist..."

"……Eh?"

"No, it's nothing, Shengen Mountain Block, No. 15 Xilin Street, Setilin Ancient Language Literature Research Institute. Arrive in about 20 minutes!"

After saying this, the boy didn't speak any more.

The scenery of the carriage speeding across the street.

This is a city of towers, but between the towers, like other cities, there are many square buildings, most of which are in Gothic style. This gorgeous and mysterious architectural style emerged in the age of the ancient magic empire. The favorite of magicians, the high construction cost makes this kind of building quite rare in mainland cities, but here.

Whether it's a small street shop or a large restaurant.

Libraries and banks, hotels and shopping malls all exist in such buildings, as if time has stood still since the most glorious era of magicians, and the scenes in picture books have come to reality vividly.

You can see people wearing magic robes like coachman boys everywhere. Here, this kind of clothing is the absolute mainstream. The further you go to the center of the city, the more you can see.

These people passed quickly outside the window of the carriage.

Tingna could clearly see that they were holding books in their hands. There were all kinds of books, whether it was a young man walking in a hurry or an old man sitting on a bench by the street basking in the sun. A girl holding a hamburger and writing something quickly with a quill in the other hand, or a neatly lined up child in a park square waving a thin wand...

"...It turns out that the hamburger is eaten directly like a hot dog, instead of eating it layer by layer with a knife and fork..."

"That would be too time-consuming. Eat it in two or three bites and then continue to delve into the original texts and experiments of magic. That's how magicians eat."

There are very few people not wearing magician robes. Even the middle-aged peddler who sells hot cocoa on the street is waving his magic wand, making the viscous cocoa fly out of the cauldron, filling paper cups one after another, making the stalls The magazines on the website, the woman who stood up and danced, hung the words [New progress in the meeting of the Supreme Council, or will take a wait-and-see attitude towards the development of the steam engine] on nearby street lamps and trees with light. It seems that it is today headlines.

In the sky, there were occasional figures flying by with magic wands or bird-shaped monsters. Tingna even saw a biped wyvern with a golden armor on its body. When it flew across the sky, the streets were illuminated in gold.

There is no dazzling magic everywhere, although I felt this way when I went to Liliana's mage tower on the first day, but now after seeing it at such a close distance, it really does.

"...It feels a bit ordinary..."

Tina muttered to herself.

This is the city of magicians, the kingdom in the sky.

However, this place is not as gorgeous and magical as Tina imagined. Most of the magicians are walking normally, riding in carriages, and eating normally.

Except for all kinds of magic robes, there seems to be nothing special... well, excluding those flying around.

"Original, very ordinary."

In the girl's arms, Alice said calmly.

Soon, the carriage stopped with the sound of the boy's "Destination Arrived".

Cetillin Institute of Ancient Language Literature.

"If you can't remember the characteristics of the spell-casting materials, spend two years memorizing Opate's "Spell-casting Materials Encyclopedia" first. Adding these in the interpretation is too long, and it will also reveal what magic you are about to use. If you have spare time, Going to Magnus College to attend Professor Naioya's basic magic class, for apprentices who can't even remember the characteristics of spell-casting materials, her teaching method should be the best."

At this moment, Alice suddenly said a long sentence.

Before Ting Na got off the carriage, she was urged by Alice to walk into the tall building with a clock tower in front of her.

"...?! Yes! Thank you very much for your teaching!"

Behind it was the voice of the boy who was delighted.

"Miss Alice...?"

Tina looked at the puppet on her shoulder suspiciously, and Alice.

"Not all apprentices can find a teacher."

After speaking lightly, he didn't speak again.

Walking in along the door, there is a long corridor, with bright red carpets on both sides, glass cabinets placed on low pillars, some old utensils are placed on them, in addition, there are Some broken scrolls and many strange things that Tina couldn't recognize made people dizzy.

"Miss Alice, what is this place?"

"The Institute of History established by Lily."

There are many portraits hanging on the walls, like a gallery.

After walking to the end, in the middle of the left and right fork road, Tingna was surprised to see the portrait of the witch and the puppet.

The witch leaning on the window sill was holding a book in one hand. The artist used exquisite colors to paint Liliana's brilliant hair and dark and deep eyes. The light shines through the crystal glass, bright and vivid. Shadows outline.

The puppet in Miss Witch's arms was the first time Tina saw it. With long golden hair and faint blue eyes, people could immediately recognize that it was the clothes of "Alice". The book seems to be lacking in interest. She lay on Miss Witch's chest like a cat, sleeping peacefully, and by the way served as clothing.

This is Liliana and Alice, when did they leave the painting?

Tina couldn't help but stop, staring at the painting absorbedly.

"Ah, my lady, the Institute of Ancient Languages ​​and Documents of Cetillin is not a tourist site open to the public——Wow, Alice?!"

At this time, a voice came out from under the painting.

It was high-pitched and thin, like a child's voice. Tingna looked around, only to find a little elf protruding from the counter under the portrait.

Pink hair, butterfly-like wings, and some jam-like paint on her face...

"Lian Nancy?"

Linking these characteristics together, Tina immediately thought of a special kind of elf.

Nancy the art and mischief, a little elf who paints sweet paintings with petals, berries and honey.

"It's been a long time, Fan."

Miss Doll floated from Tina's shoulder to the counter, and lifted up the elf who was smaller than her.

Well, a big cat is held high by a small milk cat, maybe... that's what it feels like?

However, because of the expressionless face of the doll, Ting Na couldn't figure out if this was a reunion of old friends after a long absence or...

"Why is it the posture of [Daughter of Shiva]? One Liliana is enough. I can't handle it like this..."

"Teess, are you there?"

Alice could definitely hear the elf's muttering, but Alice didn't seem to care at all. After putting Fan down, she asked calmly.

"Tiss retired six years ago. When you came back ten years ago, she was already too old to walk. Now the head of this research institute is Tiessa's granddaughter, Tessa. Roya, you will recognize Alice at a glance, she looks very similar to Tees when she was young... Oh, have you found your traveling companion after a long absence? The protection of the six spirits..."

While talking, the topic was brought to Ting Na for some reason, and Lian Nanxi named Fan looked at Ting Na with bright eyes.

"Did Liliana take a fancy to her talent?"

"Tina von Sia. The protection was given by the elves at home. It was an accident. I will see you often in the future. Is it still the original office?"

Alice changed the subject again, and pinched the elf's little face by the way.

"It's still there."

"learn."

Alice nodded, returned to Tina's shoulder, and signaled the girl to walk to the left.

Turn left and go upstairs until you reach the very top of the clock tower.

Along the way, the girl met many people wearing snow-white robes without hoods. Seeing her, these people were somewhat surprised, but some middle-aged people seemed to know Alice, but when they saw Miss Doll's cold silver eyes, they only nodded from a distance.

Then, the girl pushed open the door of the room on the top floor.

This is a well-lit office, and she raised her head because of the knock on the door. The woman sitting at the desk full of scrolls looked at Tingna's face with scrutiny and some doubts.

This sight turned into a nostalgic smile after seeing the little doll on the girl's shoulder.

"Long time no see, Miss Alice, this is the first time I've seen such a figure."

"Long time no see, Tessa, you are getting old."

"Ah, ah, ten years ago, I was still a young and energetic girl. After this year's Advent month, I will become a 30-year-old woman. Time is really ruthless..."

Facing the acquaintances from the past, Miss Puppet's tone was much softer, and she seemed to talk a little more (although it was a bit rude).

Just when Tina thought this way, Alice breathed out again.

"Alice and Lily will stay in the City of Thousand Towers for a while, and they can do it anytime after reminiscing about the past, now."

Saying so.

"I know, I know, about the deciphered ciphertext, right? Really, it seems that Alice in this posture advocates efficiency first."

Grinning bitterly, the woman wearing a white hooded cloak like other researchers blinked her blue eyes, which were somewhat different from Tina's, opened the drawer, and walked away with a roll of parchment In front of Tina.

"Miss Tina von Shea?"

"Eh? Yes, yes."

"Now the upper echelons of the City of Thousand Towers almost know that it is thanks to your serious illness that your Excellency Einstein, our dear investor, is staying in this city. With the highest thanks.”

"Huh? Huh?"

Tinna, who habitually reached out and put the roll of parchment, was taken aback for a moment. When she saw Tessa's sly eyes, she realized what this meant, and her face immediately flushed.

Is it already so well known about myself? !

"Only a small part has been deciphered?"

Looking at the roll of parchment, Miss Doll frowned slightly.

"No way, the era of the ancient magic empire is an era of highly developed cryptography. In order to prevent their achievements from leaking out, magicians have developed many encryption methods to control and block knowledge, and...Miss Alice and Your Excellency Einstein The encrypted documents and a small number of inscriptions barely salvaged from the ruins that have collapsed have never been seen before...there is a high probability that they are the emperor's cipher texts that are only known by their names and rarely seen."

"The top-secret communication of the magic emperors...?"

"So there is only a small part that can be deciphered at present. It is deciphered in comparison with the communication between the great dark sage and other emperors in the Tom Cruise Museum of the City of Glory. If we want to continue to work, we not only need a large number of We need more funds to collect the rare letters between the magic emperors, and we need more information on the exploration of the ruins of that era..."

"Let's get to know each other today first, and after that, Miss Tingna will come over and talk to you."

Alice nodded and accepted the explanation.

Then she looked up at Tina.

"Let's go, next, there are still many places to go."

"Eh?"

The girl who hadn't understood what Alice was thinking until now made a confused voice, and was dragged away from the office she just walked in.

The boy driving seemed to have just cleaned the sofa in the carriage again. Alice ignored his surprise, told her next destination, and pulled Tina into the carriage.

Then... Dragon Academy, Farador Research Institute, Magnus Academy, Douglas Tower...

A lot... a lot really.

Tina just remembered getting on and off the carriage non-stop, being taken by Alice to a building that was exaggerated just by looking at it, meeting a bunch of people whose names alone were there, listening to Alice introduce herself, and getting some information from them Or report, and then be pulled back to the carriage to the next location under the words of Alice "I will see you often in the future"...

"Love, Miss Alice, please give me a break..."

Even if Ting Na complained a little out of breath, the puppet was nothing more than that.

"Go to two more places, and it's almost over."

Saying this, let the boy drive to the next location.

When the time came to noon, Ting Na finally watched the boy drive the carriage away from the Feilengcui mountain road. She couldn't remember how many places she had visited this morning. The space storage ring is already full of various documents.

Budget proposals, research reports, investigation records, progress summaries...

"As a member of the Supreme Council, does Miss Liliana have to manage so many affairs..."

"Simple, right? Same as before."

"Eh……"

"A liaison officer's job."

Standing in front of the door with the relief of an angel falling from the sea of ​​clouds, Tingna was stunned for a moment before she realized that the simplicity of the puppet lady probably meant that what she did this morning was no different from the work of a liaison officer.

That's true, what I have to say is just that there are more places to run.

but……

Thinking of those snow pigeons who were not afraid of the snow during the blizzard in Bike City, Ting Na was a little puzzled.

"But... don't the mages in the City of Thousand Towers raise snow pigeons? Even if I don't have to run around..."

Tina kept her mouth shut.

The silver pupils are like the cold winter in which everything is dead.

This was the coldest look Alice gave Tina today.

"Please."

After a long silence, Alice turned away from Tina, opened the gate of the high tower, and floated upwards along the circular staircase.

"Ah, Miss Alice..."

There was no delay in shouting to Tina, and soon, that small voice disappeared on the stairs of the tower.

"...Have I offended Miss Alice..."

The fountain on the first floor of the tower was bubbling and bubbling.

It wasn't until the back of the little puppet disappeared that Ting Na, who was standing in front of the tower, seemed to finally react from the silver silence.

——I don’t understand it at all.

Talking to myself, I took myself to a super expensive clothing store and bought super expensive clothes for myself. Instead of being grateful, I was more panicked and confused, and then I brought myself back to the past without even hearing about it. I met someone I didn't know who it was at the place I passed, and I brought back a lot of documents...

If it was said that Liliana made people unable to keep up with her thinking, then Alice was completely incomprehensible.

This is the case no matter what the posture is.

"Did I do something wrong..."

No matter how I think about it, I can't figure out what I did wrong. Ting Na walked to the fountain and sat down in a daze, holding her face and lost in thought.

"No, I think it's all Alice's fault."

"Wow!"

Aqua suddenly emerged from the fountain and lay beside Tina.

"That's right, it's Alice's own problem to make up her own mind and say nothing. [Daughter of Siwa] originally refers to the most honorable princess in the Church of Siwa in the north, no, It would be better to describe it as a queen, but after becoming like this, I also have a bad temper that is too arrogant to ask others to understand what I mean, and there is nothing I can do about it.”

At some point, Nat, who was there, also walked over in the shadow of the stone pillar, sighing "Ah, ah, ah."

"...Well, well, good afternoon, Miss Knight, Miss Aqua."

"Scared?"

"It's not good for the heart so please be considerate!"

The sudden appearance of elves is a feature of this tower, but it was still frightened.

Especially Aqua, when the water elf suddenly appeared and lay on the edge of the hot spring and smiled at her, Tingna's breathing stopped for several seconds.

It's really unbearable...

"Then, Ms. Knight and Aqua, do you know why, I feel that Ms. Alice is very indifferent to me today..."

To calm down, Ting Na asked solemnly.

"Generally, it's that one? Girls' petty temper, I've done it like this, why don't you understand? Speaking of these places, they have a deep relationship with Princess Lily, and they are also the most famous places in this city. Some places of power."

"Yeah, that's the one. Speaking of the steam engine in the Supreme Council, the radicals and the moderates are also arguing fiercely. Princess Lily is a rare wait-and-see faction. As Princess Lily's secretary Alice is pretty tired too, she has to go to a meeting in the afternoon."

"Why can't I understand what Miss Knight and Miss Aqua are talking about..."

Tingna blinked blankly, so the water and dark elves sat on the left and right sides of Tingna, looked at the girl with playful eyes, and then.

"Actually, Ms. Tingna is a little disappointed in getting our blessings but only gaining the ability to see things clearly at night, not afraid of strong light, more sensitive to air currents, and able to swim faster? It's written all over your face."

Knight suddenly brought up the matter.

"We are also very sorry about this. We can't even make decent compensation for making Miss Ting Na suffer like this."

"That, I..."

Subconsciously, Ting Na wanted to say otherwise, but when the words came to her lips, even the girl herself realized that this was just a lie.

Disappointment...it does happen.

Not dissatisfaction, but disappointment, disappointment in myself.

Even if he gets the treatment of the protagonist in the novel, as an ordinary person, he is still an ordinary person.

It's just that my skin can sensitively feel the flow of the wind, and can endure the scorching heat and the cold winter.

It's just that my limbs can swim at a faster speed, and it's less tiring to move on the ground.

It's just that my eyes are no longer troubled by light and shadows, and I can see clearly.

That's all.

The closed door was still closed, and even a small gap could not be opened for her. On the contrary, her condition was exacerbated by erosion, and finally recovered with the help of Miss Liliana.

Disappointed?

Of course disappointed.

However, this time to say these...

Tingna tried her best to connect this matter with Miss Doll's reaction today, but she couldn't find any connection between the two, so she just looked blankly at the two elves who were closest to her, hoping that they would give her some help. She has an answer.

However, Knight and Aqua just looked at each other and smiled.

"It's not that only magicians can enter the world of magicians."

After saying such a sentence, it disappeared.

"Ah, please wait..."

Only the girl who seemed to have realized something but was not sure at all, her face became extremely flustered, was alone on the first floor of the tower, walking around at a loss.

Postscript of a certain day:

"...Speaking of which, Miss Liliana, I forgot one very important thing."

"...?"

"Well, after coming to the City of Thousand Towers, I haven't reported to the Adventurer's Association. Miss Liliana knows where to go..."

"...There is no Adventurer's Guild in this city."

"Eh? No? Also, that is to say..."

"...Miss Tingna, it doesn't matter if you don't need to work."

"Ah... ah!"

"...?"

"So it's this... so it's this...Miss Liliana, where is Alice?"

"...Probably in the room...what's wrong?"

"Obviously it's kindness that keeps me from doing nothing...I have to apologize!"

"...It's better not to say that."

"...Eh? Eh??"
