Chapter 515: The Gray Witch's Family Dinner (5000 words)
Sunlight pours in through the delicate window panes, creating a bright and peaceful atmosphere.
The interior decoration of the study is simple, without any luxurious items. The only thing that catches the eye is the books placed on the antique shelf, both new and old.
"forgotten…"
The other two women had reincarnation space watches in their hands, which were given to them by him personally.
Su Lin naturally knew the mentality of those people watching the show. If he were to watch the show at this time, he would at least find a way to lock the door.
He was carrying a heavy fruit basket, but the person he was visiting was not there. At this moment, Su Lin was the only one in the room.
"It's not all magic books. Learning is really hard."
I glanced at the open book on the wooden table, which contained sketches of several different grass plants.
There were also some glass containers on the table, with soil in them and a red seed in the middle that seemed to be ready for cultivation.
The spots of light shining through the window cypress hit the books and utensils, allowing Su Lin to see the moist color of the remaining ink on the white paper, proving that the girl had been taking notes here not long ago.
"Aren't you still in the mood to improve yourself?"
It seems that this witch is not affected by external things, or her emotions have stabilized in the past two days.
Come to think of it, there is no reason to be superstitious about such mysterious things.
Su Lin felt sorry that he couldn't make things worse and have some fun.
Following the magical perception, Su Lin pulled out a magic book with a hexagram pattern on the cover from the bookshelf and gently flipped through it. The dimensional magic recorded in it was projected into three-dimensional symbols.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Su Lin is peeking at the other person's privacy, but this book originally belongs to Su Lin.
Su Lin, who wanted to be lazy in learning magic, had previously made a deal with Miss Gray Witch. By copying and synchronizing spellcasting memories and magic theories, he could achieve the effect of reading books to improve his proficiency.
The problem is that everyone's understanding and perception of elements is different, and even flipping through this book requires repeated practice.
In other words, this is a teaching aid.
"Who would have thought that within a few months I would be tricked by that pigeon." Su Lin was quite emotional.
However... the types of magic in this book are still increasing, and space and capacity are not a problem for dimensional stacking.
Perhaps in a few years, with the accumulation of historical years, it will become an invaluable treasure due to the efforts of its writer.
"My personality is completely opposite. I am the kind of lazy person who will easily take a break once I achieve a little success." Su Lin smiled and closed the magic book.
Pa~!
The lock flicked, and the wooden door was slowly pushed open. Irena took off her triangular soft-pointed magic hat and patted the withered yellow leaves on it.
"I rushed back after seeing the message from Kaguya. You are here after all." Irena glanced at the fruit basket in Su Lin's hand, put her hands on her hips and said, "It's tasteless to break into a girl's boudoir without permission. It's bad."
His expression was still calm, his grey hair looked a little messy as if blown by the wind and had not been tidied up yet, he was holding two bulging linen bags in his hands, he must have just returned from going out.
"Didn't you also enter my room last time?" Su Lin pointed with his thumb at the anime poster on the wall of the bed behind him and the plastic figurine on the bedside table, and said, "You stole them all from my room. Let's start rejecting double standards from me."
"Woo" Irena shifted her gaze elsewhere, unable to refute for a moment.
Although she and Song Shuhang were looking around at first, after discovering that it was Su Lin's room, it was she who started the investigation because of the poster.
When it comes to quibbling over small matters, this person can always find irrefutable reasons.
"call--"
Take a deep breath and calm down. For a witch, staying rational at all times is a must.
"So, Mr. Su Lin, what brings you here today?" Irena raised a faint smile on her face, and her blue-purple eyes reflected Su Lin's figure.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer." Su Lin picked up the gift from the table, took out a spiritual fruit and put it in his mouth to taste it. "I was forced to become a representative and send out this crowdfunded fruit basket while visiting."
Then what do you eat?!
Calm down Irena.
Just stay calm as always.
Irena smiled politely and asked, "Didn't you complain in the group yesterday that you were too busy with work?"
She tried to change the subject back to normal.
"The woman who has a crush on me is sick. Even if it concerns the safety of the three realms and six paths, and the universe, I have to take time to come out and take a look." Su Lin said the classic setting of the domestic fairy tale drama while handing out the fruit basket, casually took out the "fruit knife" given by Zhongli and said:
"If you're looking to assassinate some mythical creature with a mouth, I can provide some tools."
I'll kill both of you and bury you together!
Irena was so angry that she snatched the comfort item that belonged to her and put it into her personal space, thus avoiding Su Lin's covetous gaze on the holy fruit.
"Thank you for coming here despite your busy schedule!" She seemed amused: "Someone who has hung my portrait in his room since school days~~Hehehe."
That was obviously a poster, and there were so many paper-figure wives in his room.
Su Lin shrugged slightly, looked at the ceiling and the buildings outside the glass window, and didn't intend to talk about this topic anymore: "Which city is this? The hotel is pretty good."
"City? Hotel?" Irena tilted her head in confusion, put her index finger on her chin, and said, "This is my home."
what?
Su Lin turned around and looked at the other party, only to see Irena snap her fingers and dissolve the magic circle set up outside the room.
Four women and one man were curiously patting the air outside the door, but they hit nothing and immediately stumbled into the room.
Immediately after
They saw Irena and Su Lin who was still a little confused in the room.
"It's not uncommon to take a few days off to go back to my hometown, right?" Irena said, "Now I can be more honest with myself and share my travel stories with my mother. Next time, I can just teleport to the previous city's anchor point."
what?
"By the way, now that we're here, let's have dinner together?" Irena said with a smile, her eyes curved like the moon.
This reminded Su Lin of a creature called a fox and the stereotype of Yin - cunning and scheming.
"No."
He refused without a second thought, and when he turned to leave, he found that the portal had been closed, and his action of taking out the cross-border talisman was stopped by a slender arm.
"Hey, you took the time to come visit me, how can I not let you have a meal before leaving?"
The soft palm grasped Su Lin's wrist, and said in an almost gentle voice: "Here are your favorite Irena's special fried vegetable meatballs."
No no no.
Su’s favorite is not fried vegetable meatballs, and I have never eaten the dishes you cook. My favorite is Chef Emiya’s private dishes.
Su Lin, who was covered in goosebumps, heard the deliberately coquettish "Na Na~". Not only did his old second-dimensional soul not get ignited, but it was like a piece of greasy pork belly was forced into his throat.
Because there were so many people, it was impossible to spit it out or swallow it.
It was not until this moment that Su Lin realized that those crescent-shaped eyes were empty and even a little dark.
"Ms. Irena, please be normal." Su Lin had a blank expression on his face and tried to pull his arm away. "My mother made dinner, I want to go back and eat."
"Have I not always been normal? I left my work just to visit you, but now I am saying one thing and thinking another." Irena turned her back to everyone, opened her empty eyes, and a strange smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. She whispered:
"When the time comes, I will be a dimensional witch and be sealed on the cross, and you will be a fallen god devouring the universes. Our happiness in this life will be over~~"
Are you serious? !
It’s bad, this guy’s brain is completely broken.
Among the four women emitting magical fluctuations, a girl about ten years old with neat short black hair and a neutral face rolled her eyes and fainted when she saw this scene.
"Saya, Saya?!!!"
Su Lin: "Is anyone here? I have a commission here, the reward is generous, just come over."
Ye Fan: "Brother Su, Ye Zi, I'm at the door!"
Xiao Yan: "Brother Su, Yanzi, I'm at the door!"
Purple Gold Dragon: "Emperor, I, Xiaolong, have summoned an army!"
Irena: "@Su Lin, is the food I made not to your liking?"
Ye Fan: "I suddenly remembered that there is something else going on in the Chamber of Commerce."
Xiao Yan: "Cai Lin is calling me, I'm sorry, Su Lin."
Purple Gold Dragon: "I forgot to collect gifts from the gods and demons."
Su Lin: "Fire is strong..."
Li Huowang: "Okay, I'll be right there."
Meng Qi: "Huo Wang, I need your help with something important. It's a matter of life and death!"
Li Huowang: "Brother Meng, wait for me!"
You guys, the freshmen, wouldn't be able to...
"Su Lin." The gray-haired mature woman said, "Are you dissatisfied with the taste?"
"It's delicious." Su Lin held the iron spoon and sat upright, his expression no longer as frivolous as usual: "It's just that I had already eaten before coming here. Thank you very much for your hospitality."
Su Lin can be casual with friends, but when it comes to situations where his friends' parents and relatives are present, the 'serious' template for visiting a friend's home is automatically loaded.
Irena's father stared at Su Lin with a serious look of scrutiny: "This was made by my daughter herself."
"."Su Lin gently pinched the spoon and scooped some potato cream soup into his mouth.
To be honest, it tastes good.
But why are you all staring at me while you're eating?
There is the Stardust Witch Fran, whose hair is as dark as the night, the Dark Night Witch Shira, whose golden hair is as soft and bright as stardust, and Saya, whose eyes seem to be filled with the hatred of having his wife stolen from him, which is about to turn into flames.
Including Irena, who was holding her head up and staring at him with "gentle eyes".
"This woman has finally gone crazy." Su Lin lowered his head and started eating as everyone's eyes were focused on him. It was shameful to waste food.
"What did you say~"
"It's nothing, Miss Irena. I said this account should be recorded on Klein."
"Oh, this is the telepathy between us~~~"
Su Lin felt the dining table begin to shake, probably because of Saya's trembling of despair and anger.
"Irena mentioned you in the letter she sent back." Irena's mother Victoria smiled gently. "In the country of steel buildings, there is a kind person who generously teaches others unique magic. She will be traveling there for a while. I believe you will take care of her."
"No." Su Lin responded with a polite smile.
"The second letter said that although he was a little weird on weekdays, he was generally a very good person," Victoria continued.
"That's probably because there's some misunderstanding between your daughter and me." Su Lin smiled and said, "Ma'am, I personally think it's better to respect a girl's privacy."
Irena looked at her mother, her eyes a little flustered: "Mom!"
"Still calling me Madam? That's a bit too polite." Victoria said with a smile, and she kicked her husband's calf lightly.
"Well, ahem, we're all eating under the same roof, there's no need to be so distant." He said reluctantly.
"Uncle, aunt." Su Lin nodded, put down the spoon, and explained: "I came to visit Irena on behalf of several other busy friends. Thank you for your hospitality."
As soon as he finished speaking, a message came from the other side through the chat group.
[Irena: Your serious look now makes me feel strange.]
[Su Lin: Your gentleness right now makes me feel sick.]
thump.
Irena kicked Su Lin's leg with a dull sound, but she bent down in pain, holding her foot.
[Su Lin: No way, no way, you are not really secretly in love with me, right?]
[Su Lin: What can I do with my life? How about you let me go back first, and I will consider giving it a try three thousand years later? A forced melon is not sweet.]
[Irena: Just wait for me]
Irena raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "It's getting late now, Su Lin, you can stay here tonight, in my room."
"Irena." Victoria looked into Irena's eyes with a smile and said, "Let's stop here."
"Mom?" Irena was stunned for a moment, then she heard sobbing beside her and turned to look, "Saya."
She was a little grumpy just now and didn't notice that Saya's eyes were a little red.
Yes, Miss Saya likes me very much and even takes another disciple of my mother, the Dark Night Witch, as her teacher.
Although she herself has no opinion on the "lesbian" mentioned on the Internet, she is afraid that she has hurt the other party tonight.
Obviously, I wanted to share my experiences and things during this period of travel, so I found Miss Saya who was traveling through Miss Sheila.
I am such a bad person.
But at this moment, Saya was like a frightened hamster. The gazes of other people, especially Irena's, made her so embarrassed that she wanted to escape from this place.
Don't use that look.
"Actually, I came here for another thing today." Su Lin suddenly said to Irena:
"That day, Irena commissioned our Chamber of Commerce to order a magic wand for casting spells. She said she wanted to give it to her best friend when she returned home. But the Chamber of Commerce has received too many orders recently, so it was not completed until now."
Su Lin took out a brown wooden box from his pocket, which contained a 'unicorn tail hair wand made by Ollivander'.
"Sorry for the wait, Miss Irena. By the way, the relevant fees will be deducted from your personal account in the Chamber of Commerce."
"Thank you."
Irena took the brown wooden box and slid it open to reveal the wand fixed on the sky blue velvet.
Under Saya's dull gaze, Irena handed the wooden box to the girl and said with a smile: "Congratulations on becoming an apprentice witch."
"Ms. Irena" Saya's eyes gradually became moist, and her eye sockets became even redder.
Irena couldn't help but hug her shoulders, just like the night they parted: "You are still far from being a witch~."
"Yes.."
crackle crackle crackle
In the fireplace, orange-red flames were dancing, warmth and comfort gradually filled the living room, and the walls were covered with photos of the family of three.
Irena went out with two other witches to accompany Saya to test the new magic wand.
Su Lin originally wanted to say goodbye, but was asked to stay and have a cup of tea before leaving.
Irena's father smiled and said, "How does the tea taste?"
"The taste is a bit familiar." Su Lin took a sip: "From my family's property?"
"My daughter sent back a lot of local specialties. To be honest, I have never seen many of them. I don't know if that child can manage her personal finances well outside." Victoria put down the teapot and sat on the sofa.
Su Lin smiled and said, "She earned all the money from her work, don't worry."
There are more than ten Irenas working at the same time to support one.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt, for your hospitality tonight." Su Lin thanked.
"No, I want to thank you for taking care of her." Victoria looked at Su Lin curiously: "This is the first time I see that child like this."
Don't be surprised, it's my first time seeing it too.
Su Lin maintained a faint smile and said, "I'm sorry, my visit was a bit sudden and may have caused her some trouble."
"No." Victoria shook her head. "It's the first time for that child to get along with her peers like this. Seeing her like this, I feel much more relieved."
"Of course, you are not in love, right?" Irena's father said.
"Of course not." Su Lin picked up the teacup and said helplessly: "Don't take those words seriously."
"Come to think of it, those paintings my daughter brought back were the ones in your room, Su Lin, right?" Victoria's voice made Su Lin cough unnaturally, causing ripples in the tea.
"Cough cough..."
This guy even said this?!
"He just said he didn't know how to deal with the other party's possible attack, and then he was relieved to find out that the other party didn't have such an idea. He didn't say who it was."
Talking to smart people is troublesome.
Su Lin sighed, but restrained his emotions and said truthfully: "I heard her story somewhere before, and I had such a longing for her when I was a teenager."
After all, I started traveling at the age of fourteen, and it has been several years now, so it makes sense.
"So, how about you really consider my daughter?"
"Eh?"
"Just kidding~."
Victoria smiled slightly, and the last message came to her mind. It said
——"This period of travel was very fulfilling. I was able to visit a variety of places like Nicole, and most importantly, I met a group of the most wonderful friends! (There is no way I would have a crush on that guy!)"
