To be king and magician

"The Botanical Section has planted spies in the Mineral Section. The news came back that the monarch El-Melloi went to Japan. It is unreasonable for a monarch to suddenly go to such a small remote country, and all he can think of is because of the person who has been missing for more than half a year. asshole."

Although she knew that Xia Chuanhu had gone to Japan, Lidal really didn't expect that he would go there for more than half a year, which made her unable to find someone to drink tea with whenever she had time. It's a pity that her schedule for the first half of the year None of them went to Japan.

"It seems that Miss Lidell has a lot of resentment towards Xia Chuan. To be favored by a monarch like this, he really has the means."

Meili said with a smile that seemed to mean something.

Hearing this, Lidelle quickly turned her head away and began to explain: "It's not that I like him, it's just that he is one of the rare people who can tell me, and he can also give some advice on idol business. In addition, I also investigated clearly Oh, he was the one who blew up my lab, I just came to settle accounts with him!"

(But that account has already been paid off, and you came here so early in the morning...)

Weber felt that even if it was not interesting, it should be half interesting.

"It feels like it's going to be lively again, this apartment."

Tsukihime

1. The Millennium City in the dream

moon.

Vermilion moon.

A vermilion moon hanging over an ancient castle.

How many times is this?Saw this scene in my sleep.

The sea of ​​flowers with a little smell of blood, the ancient castle standing in the sea of ​​flowers, and the vermilion full moon above the castle.

Since when did I dream of such a scene in my dream?

The memory is ambiguous, and the cognition seems to be disturbed by something, resulting in confusion.

【Who are you? 】

It seemed that someone's voice came from the castle.

No, the rumor that came out is not quite right, it should be said that the voice was directly projected into the mind.

This should be a very familiar voice. Although they may be strangers to each other, this voice gives me a feeling.

Know the owner of the voice yourself.

[Why does it appear here? 】

Yeah, why?

The reason and so on are still being searched for, at least it shouldn't be the normal way to come here, and even for me, this place is a dream, and I will only remember some residual hallucinations after waking up.

"Crack-"

Sounds like gears gnashing and chains rubbing faintly came into my ears, and I could hear a slight growl, mixed with the sound of friction and the scent of flowers, obviously it was a few unrelated sounds , but when I heard it, I felt it was very reasonable.

【Tiger】

The man spoke again.

【I see, your name, Tiger】

tiger.

This is indeed his own name, his surname is Xia Chuan, and his first name is Hu.

"Then... where's your name?"

Xia Chuanhu tried to ask.He felt that he should know who the owner of the voice was, but the name seemed to be mosaiced and he couldn't recall it clearly.

【Air Quite】

boom----------!

As if something exploded, a strong bang suddenly penetrated Xia Chuanhu's ears, and his drowsy consciousness suddenly woke up!

But at the moment of waking up, the mysterious sea of ​​flowers disappeared, replaced by a dimly lit large classroom and an angry lemon on the podium not far away.

Looking at the hands he slapped on the table, he should have slapped the table just now. After all, he was sitting in the first row, so it was no wonder the sound was so loud.

"Sleeping in my class openly, do you think my class is boring and you can't listen to it at all? Xia Chuanhu."

With obvious anger and dissatisfaction in his tone, Kenneth asked sharply.

Rubbing his eyes, Xia Chuanhu stood up and shook his head: "No, the teacher's lectures are quite excellent, and I fell asleep because of my personal reasons. I'm very sorry."

"Properly manage and arrange your own time, which is also a required course for excellent magicians and nobles."

"Yes."

"Sit down. Then continue the lecture. I just talked about the composition of the enchantment, the materials for constructing the enchantment..."

Sitting down again and listening to Kenneth's lecture, Xia Chuanhu's ears didn't listen to the content of the lecture, and his mind was full of the scene he had dreamed just now.

(That place is undoubtedly the Millennium City.)

Millennium City.

The castle where the ancestors once lived, the place where Alquite used to imprison himself and sleep.Since returning to London, Xia Chuanhu has dreamed of that place from time to time. Although he didn't remember it, he should have dreamed of it ten times.

Why did I dream of the Millennium City?Was this dream hinting at him?Or is it simply because his consciousness accidentally arrived in the Millennium City due to various reasons?

If it was an accident, then nearly ten accidents...

"Airquit..."

After murmuring the name of that Yue Ji in a low voice, Xia Chuanhu took a breather.

(It will be 1999 in a few months, which happens to be the timeline of Lao Yueji, so I should have time to go to Misaki City, after all, the things on my side are almost resolved.)

It has been five months since Xia Chuanhu returned to London.In these five months, all the things he wanted to do before he came back had almost reached the completion stage, and it would be all over by almost January next year.

Graduating from all basic courses and completing your own promotion.

After these two things are completed, he can officially transfer to the Spirit Department, and return to Japan to continue studying dolls under Aozaki Orange.

(For Misaki City, pick the time to go there after returning to Japan.)

When Xia Chuanhu was thinking like this.

"Boom~~~~~~"

A melodious bell sounded throughout the clock tower.When he heard the bell that meant the end of get out of class, Kenneth, who had just finished the course content, also put away the handouts, and walked out of the classroom after saying that get out of class was over.

"In this way, there will be no class today... let's go back."

After packing up everything, Xia Chuanhu stood up and left the classroom. He was just about to jump on the roof to run cool and return to the apartment, but he saw a somewhat rare figure in the corner of his vision.

No, it can't be said that it is rare. For others, it may be true, but for him, that figure can be seen several times a month.

(That's right, it's the end of the month...)

————————————————————————————

Carnac.

One of the largest department stores in London with a history of more than 150 years.Xia Chuanhu probably wouldn't come here if it was normal. He doesn't like shopping very much, and he doesn't like the environment here that much.

But even so, at the end of every month, he always comes here for two or three days.

Because of the woman sitting in front of him at this moment.

"Well, the taste of the cakes here is still as good as ever. It's a pity that there are too many ingredients in Baffia. It's too fancy, so I don't have any desire to eat."

"Then don't order so much in the first place, Ms. Lydal."

Lydal.

May Lidal Archelot.

The monarch of the botanical family, one of the clock tower's twelve disciplines, is a world-renowned witch idol. He is a hands-off shopkeeper who assigns [-]% of his work to his subordinates and holds concerts all over the world by himself.

He works outside for three weeks every month, and only comes back once at the end of the month, and every time he comes back, he will directly drag Xia Chuanhu out to go shopping.

Frowning slightly, Lidal shoveled a small piece of Buffy and stuffed it directly into Xia Chuanhu's mouth: "How many times have I said it, forget about social occasions, just call me [Lidale] in private between the two of us." .”

Isn't the mall a social place?

Swallowing the ice cream, Xia Chuanhu asked, "Na Lidale, how is the performance going? I remember you went to the United States, right?"

"Well, it's perfect as a retreat."

"That's good—huh?"

Xia Chuanhu was stunned by a certain word that came out of Lidal's mouth.

Retiring from the show?

"Are you going to retire? Don't be an idol anymore?" Xia Chuanhu looked at Lidale with disbelief, "Why?"

"Is it surprising that I don't become an idol? By the way, you didn't know that it was my retirement show? I explained it during the show. You definitely didn't watch my live broadcast!"

Xia Chuanhu spread his hands together: "Where do I have time to watch it? I don't even think about what I've been doing all this time. I'm so busy with sacrifices. Today is a rare free day. By the way, what are you doing?" Are you going to retire? Is the response to the idol career not good?"

"It's not for this reason, it's just that I don't want to do it." Lidelle explained, "I'm almost 30 years old, and this age is really not suitable for being an idol. Besides, things around the clock tower are getting more and more serious. More and more, it was very difficult to take care of the idol and the Clock Tower at the same time, so I simply retired."

"The retirement ceremony was also held after the concert, and the contract was successfully terminated by the agency... Now I'm finally light."

"It may be difficult for the fans to accept it, as well as the media."

"Who cares about them." Lidal smiled, "Compared to this, can I go to your place for dinner tonight?"

"Okay, I'll call Meili and ask her to buy more food."

"Please."

2. Living with idols

In the evening, in the apartment, at the dinner table.

Mei Li looked at Lidale who was sitting opposite Xia Chuanhu.

"I didn't expect you, Lidal, to retire. You really surprised me."

"Well, I remember that there were people discussing this matter in the Clock Tower a few days ago, and they seemed to be Miss Lidal's fans." Gray recalled the events of the previous few days, "Why did you choose to retire at this time? ? Miss Lidal is still very popular, right?"
