A few days later, Irena and her little teacher Anne flew away from the ruins of the city where there was only one living person left, and came to this small city that was also in the north and also had thick snow. They stayed in this place that was still normal and had not had too many sad stories on their backs, intending to repair and rest here for two days.
“??”
“Really…”
"Teacher, that guy, has been out for so long at noon, but hasn't come back yet... I was going to discuss with her whether to leave here tomorrow!"
"Why……"
"never mind!"
"Don't worry about her for now. I must have gone to have a big meal alone again. I'd better find a place to eat something to keep my stomach?"
"I'm starving to death..."
After seeing that it was getting late, Irena thought for a while and then prepared not to wait for a guy who had been missing for a long time, but instead put on her coat, left this unique and clean hotel, and went to the restaurant outside to find something to eat.
Although, you can order food in the hotel, but...
Since her, Irena's abominable teacher had already sneaked out to find a big meal alone, her skin is even more crystal clear than the snow of winter, and even the snowflakes can't help but feel ashamed to melt when they meet the genius and beautiful travel witch, you can't eat too simply and cold, right?
Anyway, it has nothing to do with the teacher who is jealous of her. She just simply wants to find something delicious and delicious for herself.
“!?”
"oops!"
"What's your person..."
Irena, who had just been hit by a while when she left the door, was about to scold her, but when she saw the person who bumped her, glanced back at her, saw the other party's fierce little face and the eyes that were indescribable with an indescribable emotion, she hesitated for a moment, and finally she didn't say anything and watched the other party trot away in a hurry.
"Strange guy..."
"Forget it, let's ignore her!"
Zuo was just a fierce child. Although his expression looked a bit strange, he was dressed in a mess, and he was inexplicably hostile to himself, but... Irena thought about it, but she still did not pursue it very much, and directly forgave the other party and continued to turn around and walk forward.
She knew that there was a good restaurant not far ahead. The food tasted very good, and the key was that it was very cheap. This was a good choice for Irena, who had become a little oversquandered after following a little guy recently, and the financial situation began to deteriorate.
Although, her little teacher Anne seems to be very rich, and she looks like she can't spend all those strange gold coins, but no matter what, it is not her money after all. So, when her teacher is not around and pays for it, she can only do what she can.
In short, it is probably unlikely to eat and drink today, but it is still OK to order a unique meal with local characteristics for yourself.
As for what to do in the future, she hasn't figured out yet... Perhaps, she can choose to occasionally go to the Magic Association to take some small tasks along the way, and make money while traveling? But she hasn't figured out exactly what to do. After all, her economy still has a big support. As long as her teacher is still traveling with her and occasionally acts as her mobile wallet, she will not be in a hurry to consider what makes her a little worried.
“!!”
However……
"Why?"
At this time, when Irena had just found a seat and had finished ordering meals with the waiter, she was waiting patiently, and before she could wait for the waiter to bring her dinner, she unexpectedly discovered: a guy she didn't know, wearing a black wool coat and a black top hat, actually sat directly opposite her table?
"Who are you?"
Irena found that there seemed to be many empty seats here, and she didn't know each other. If the other party wanted to come to find her, the youngest in history, whose beauty and talent radiated light, not inferior to colorful flowers, which bloomed like flowers, and was as beautiful as a flower, and was as beautiful as a doll to catch up with her, then she was really looking for the wrong partner!
Because, she didn't like this uncle who had half of his body in the coffin at all, even if the other party seemed to be very rich! If the other party was rude later, she would definitely let the other party know what would happen if he provoked a powerful witch casually!
"Excuse me……"
"You are the witch Irena who they mentioned who traveled to our city, right?"
Looking at the hideous bear-head badge on Yirena's chest, the visitor first frowned subconsciously, then hesitated for a while before hesitating and asking.
"Yes!"
"I'm Irena!"
"So……"
"Is there anything you have to do with me?"
After looking at the rich middle-aged man in front of him who seemed to be a city official, and hearing the other person's words, Irena nodded and asked with a smile and confusion.
"Sorry to bother you..."
"That's right, because there's a tricky thing here. I wonder if... can you entrust it to you to handle it on your behalf?"
Of course, the man in black knew what the price would be to ask a witch to do business, so before Irena could speak, he quickly added:
"Please rest assured, we will definitely pay a reward that matches your identity!"
For people like them, money is just a trivial matter. What he wants is nothing more than the other party who can perfectly achieve his commission.
"Why?"
"It's actually a commission..."
It turned out to be that kind of thing. Irena nodded, not making too much fuss, nor did she refuse directly, but asked:
"only……"
"I don't know what kind of commission it is, and how much reward it will be? If possible, can you talk about it first?"
After all, there are many things in this world that ordinary people cannot handle, so it is normal to entrust those magic envoys with powerful power to do it on their behalf.
However, Irena is not an ordinary magic envoy. She is a powerful, youngest in the history of Lobeta, and the youngest genius formal witch in the history of Lobeta. Her strength is far beyond that of a senior witch like Teacher Fran!
Although her financial situation is deteriorating recently and she does need more money, it is obvious that if the other party’s reward is too small or too troublesome, she will still not be invited to appear as a powerful witch!
"certainly!"
“Frankly…”
"This is actually a matter of orcs. We hope...you can drive this orc out of our merchant country in the right way?"
"Look, this is her portrait."
"As for the remuneration, you need to pay based on your evaluation after completing the commission, but no matter what, you will definitely be satisfied with in the end!"
As he said that, the man took out a sketch paper that was quite qualified by the painter, and on it was a quaint orc girl with a pair of sheep-like horns on her head.
"Um?"
"A little girl?"
"But, sir, I still don't understand."
After looking at the portrait, then looking at the other party's promised reward, and listening to the other party's basic explanation, Yirena couldn't help but meditate, but she did not rush to say agree or disagree, but asked strangely:
"You can do this kind of thing well by yourself. She is just an ordinary orc girl. You can just send someone to drive her away. Why do you come to me?"
"This is very strange, isn't it?"
“Or…”
"Do you have other plans?"
Irena, who was lying deep into the seat, asked playfully with some thought.
Maybe she has been deceived by some things a lot recently, so she is no longer as simple as before, so after listening to the other party, she immediately felt that the commission was not simple, and maybe there was any inside story that it was ulterior motive?
Or...
The other party wanted to do something bad to himself, the foreign witch, by the name of a mission?
If that is true, Irena swears that she will definitely let the other party know what the "world-destroying person" is angry!!
"this……"
"All right!"
"Actually, the matter will start a month ago..."
Seeing Yirena insisting, she didn't seem to be willing to believe him. There was no way. The man in black was pondering for a while, and after looking at Yirena's weird bear-head witch badge again, she still didn't keep it. She slowly told her what he knew and why she wanted to entrust an alien witch.
For example, why the orc sisters appeared in this small city full of humans, why they became the kind of appearance they didn't want to see, and why the other party gradually began to be out of place with the small city and other residents, and had to be "driven away" were explained in detail.
...
“!!”
"So it turns out to be like this..."
“Um…”
"I already know! But, I guess, your wishes and this commission are not simply driven away, and there may be something else, right?"
"This is indeed a bit tricky, and if what you said is true, I'm afraid it won't be done in a short time."
After listening to the other party's explanation and thinking about it for a while, Irena already knew the reason why the other party wanted to find an alien witch like herself to complete the task.
turn out to be……
All is the sin and fault committed by some people in this trading city of merchants?
The target of the commission was that the orc sister was named Alijie and her sister was named Milina. They and their orc parents originally lived in the forest near the city... However, one day, their parents were killed by a group of merchants. Out of guilt, they took the two pitiful, lonely orc sisters to the city and distributed them to their new houses, which protected them while preventing them from being hurt again.
Can result...
Some ironic meaning is that although they have worked hard to protect them, there are still negligence and omissions in the end!
One night, the group of merchants were desperate and broke into their homes with weapons... Then, the two girls must be unable to fight against a group of adults, even the talented orcs!
In short, they had no way of knowing what happened that night. Anyway, they only knew from the thugs in the end: after a torn and fight, the orc sister Milina was killed by dozens of knifes, and one of the thugs was also killed. In the end, the new house was burned!
Although the thugs have been detained and punished as they deserve, since then, the only surviving orc sister, Alijie, no longer wants to believe anyone in their city, and their behavior has become increasingly weird and aggressive...even if they really want to help each other.
"So, I ask the witch, you can take this commission, and take her away from this city in a way that you think is gentle and will not hurt her?"
"After all, the gap between us and her is irreversible. In order not to hurt her or not to hurt others, we can only entrust an outsider like you."
"Although even if you are a witch, it is unlikely that she will be able to return to normal, but..."
"We still want to try and finish all this. If you can do it well, we will definitely not be stingy with those gold coins."
Sighing, after the man explained the situation, he waited silently for Irena's response.
"Um……"
"What about a sad story..."
Yirena felt that if the other party said all the truth, then the other party's attitude would be a bit hypocritical at this time. After all, others were doing well. If these people hadn't been able to restrain their own people, how could such a tragic thing have happened?
"but……"
"We should be here for a while, so, I decided to accept your commission! But it's too late tonight and I need to start work tomorrow, okay?"
After thinking about his teacher, I seemed to like this place very much, so Irena nodded and agreed.
However, while she agreed, she planned to investigate and observe carefully for one night to ensure whether what the other party said was true.
As for how to investigate, she has some solutions!
After all, she is a witch, and she is very good at curse against ordinary people's memories like the God-Seeing Thought! And after she completes investigation and knows all the truth, she will naturally do what she thinks is worth doing.
"That's so thankful!"
"So……"
"I won't disturb you from dining anymore, we will wait for your reply!"
Seeing that the waiter had already started to serve a single dinner, the man in black stood up and bowed to say goodbye in time, not intending to disturb the witch in front of him more, so as not to attract disgust or anything else.
"OK!"
Irena was a little unanimous.
"Orc..."
However, when the other party hurriedly left and looked down at the sketch photo left on the table, she not only began to meditate.
"All right!"
"Anyway, after the investigation is clear, you need to discuss it with the teacher when you go back tonight..."
"As for now, let's have a meal first!"
"ha!"
After gently tapping the sketch "photo" with his fingers, letting it be put away instantly and disappearing, Irena stretched out a big laziness, and after a stunning arc appeared from the simple witch's robe, she began to pick up the tableware and use the meal.
But what about...
What Irena, who was enjoying her affordable dinner, didn't know: while she was having a meal, a little girl who was eating and drinking in another place was looking at the street with curious eyes.
"It's strange..."
(??ˇ?ˇ?ˇ??)
"Tibers, look at the guy with horns on his head. Why does she look a little weird?"
(^～^;)ゞ
Annie discovered that on the street, a guy in a ragged dress went to steal an apple from a stall owner. Not only did the stall owner not punish him, he also sent another bag of food?
Of course, what's even more strange is...
The poor guy actually rejected the stall owner's kindness, and threw the things he had prepared carefully on the ground like a snake or a scorpion, and ran away with the two apples she had 'stolen'?
"It's so strange!"
(ー`′ー)
"But it seems like it looks fun?"
(??ω??)
As she watched, Anne was attracted by interest.
So, after eating and drinking, she was ready to go and have a good look and see what happened to that guy, why did he behave so abnormally, why did he steal things but not be scolded, and even a little indulged?
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
(Tibers knows that that is not actually an interesting thing, it's just that the terrible little master of his family is full and has nothing to do, and he has to find something to do!)
"Let's go!"
??(′??)???
"Tibers, let's go and have a look!"
-=????=?????(?)?
After throwing a gold coin on the table, without waiting for the waiter to find her money, Anne directly carried one of her little bear Tibers's legs, and then jumped out.
