I’m a Witch In Dongying

Because it has entered early autumn, there are fewer mosquitoes than in summer, and most of the insects living in the bushes are dormant and very quiet.

The meals for this birthday banquet were prepared by Chiyo and Shirasui Jiashi.

In order to prepare these meals, the two of them have been busy starting in the morning and spent a full day, during which Ryoko also helped, and finally got everything ready.

When Bai Shuiqiu brought Jiufeng Shiyuan and others from the inner room, the maids brought by Keiko Kandai helped put the dishes in the dishes, and then brought them out of the kitchen one by one, from the corner of the tatami. It started to flow water dishes, and soon two rows of bamboo mats were filled, which looked very rich.

Except for Bai Shuiqiu, the group of people seated in the order of eldest and inferior.

After everyone was seated, the two highest-ranking elders, Chiyo and Shindai Fumyama, spoke a few scenes, and then the whole birthday banquet was officially opened.

Under normal circumstances, the atmosphere tends to be more serious at dinners where the elders are present.

However, the elders of Chiyo and Shindai Wenshan are very easy-going people, and there is no shelf for being elders at all, so the atmosphere during the meal is quite warm.

Especially when cutting cakes.

This 16-inch three-layer cake was ordered by Chiyo and Baishui Jiashi from a cake shop in the city about half a month in advance. There are a lot of fruits, creams and coincidences on it. You can see that the price is not cheap. Even if the previous life experience is added together, Bai Shuiqiu has not eaten such a high-end cake, just taking this opportunity to feast on it.

Singing birthday songs and blowing candles are naturally indispensable.

For Bai Shuiqiu, who has been a human for two lives, this kind of thing is a bit embarrassing to do, so from the beginning of blowing candles, her face has always been red, making Suzuki Zhuxi, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but laugh.

Jiufeng Shion kept his gaze on her side even more calmly, with a faint scent in his eyes.

There is nothing to say about the process of cutting and dividing the cake.

During the dinner.

Bai Shuiqiu opened a few bottles of juice, and had a few cups with Keiko Kandaji and others in turn.

Washimine Shion, Jubei, and Miyagi Ryoda are all adults over twenty years old, so they opened a few bottles of sake, touched their glasses, and started drinking.

Shendai Wenshan originally wanted to join in, but Keiko discouraged him from going back on the grounds that "the doctor advised him not to drink."

Compared to Keisuke Jindai, this old man seemed more willing to listen to his granddaughter.

It’s worth mentioning that Miyagi Ryoda's drinking volume is quite good. Although his age is two laps older than Jubei, but after a while, the young man Jubei was drunk, and Mr. Ito was also poor. He started to lie down on the table, only Jiufeng Shion was still drinking.

For a while, these two faintly became stronger, drinking one bottle after another of sake.

The final result is naturally that Miyagi's fertile fields are not strong enough to drink, and Shionamine is still drinking slowly. For the physique of a monster, being not drunk in a thousand cups is just a basic ability, and you don’t even need to use monster power. It is really overkill to compete with humans...

After eating the cake, Chiyo and Jindai Fumyama found an excuse to withdraw first.

Then Bai Shui Jia Shi also went to the bathroom and left from the bamboo mat.

In this way, only a group of young people of the same age as Bai Shuiqiu were left here...

Except Jiufeng Ziyuan.

-If calculated according to the real age, the ages of the dozen hosts and guests at today’s birthday party are probably not as old as the old monster, but the appearance of the 26-seven-year-old woman revealed to the outside is very It's deceptive, as if it's a few years older than the others.

At this time, most of the food on the table had been eaten, and Keiko Kamidai took out a set of sacred cards from her bag, and suggested playing games for some entertainment.

The so-called huazha is a special game of Dongying. The cards used are called huazha. The number and suit of the cards are different from ordinary playing cards, and the rules are more complicated than that of ghost cards.

Bai Shuiqiu didn't understand the rules, so he didn't play, just sitting next to him eating the fruit plate.

But Suzuki Zhuxi, Kurimi Sanae, Kanako and other girls who hadn't even seen each other before, at this time got together by the atmosphere of the court and played a game of card draw.

Asakura Asami and Yuuka sat and watched.

The little girl was obviously a little curious about the rules of the Hanazak card game. After asking a few words, Asakura Asami explained quietly next to her.

After playing a few rounds.

Keiko Kashiro, who first suggested the game, gave the cards in her hand to Asuka Hyuga, then quietly stepped aside, approached Shiraizu who had been watching a few people playing, and asked in a low voice: "Autumn, you can take you. Twenty minutes or so?"

"Ok?"

Under Bai Shuiqiu's slightly suspicious gaze, Keiko Kandaji pursed her lips and said mysteriously:

"Didn’t I say that, in addition to the gift I gave you in the car, I also prepared another gift for you, but you need to go to a higher mountain to see it... If you don’t find it bothersome, then Please Qiujiang come with me to go to the top of the mountain, there will be surprises."

"Mountain top..."

Bai Shuiqiu raised his eyebrows, vaguely guessing in his heart: "Are we the only two of us?"

"Well..."

Keiko Kashiro pursed her lips, and said softly, "It's okay to see what Qiujiang means. But if it is going to the mountains, it would be inconvenient if there are too many people?"

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu was a little moved, but he was still thinking about another thing: "But Sanae-senpai, and Shion-teacher..."

As the protagonist of this birthday party, if she left alone so quietly, she always felt a little inappropriate.

Keiko Kashiro also glanced at the other side of the bamboo mat, and whispered: "Don't worry, it's just a short while, and you will be back soon. The senior sisters shouldn't care."

"…Oh well."

Under the girl's expectant gaze, Bai Shuiqiu finally agreed.

Looking at Suzuki Zhuxi and the others who were playing a card game, he quietly got up from the chair, followed Keiko Kamidai, and walked a few steps towards the bush next to him—because this banquet was held in a forest clearing. Yes, so it only takes a few steps to step into the woods.

At this time, the night was already very dark.

Under the cover of twilight, Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kandaji left quietly from the woods together, and walked back along the slightly muddy mountain road.

The area of ​​Tianmu Mountain is actually not small.

The entire hill is about two meters high. The place where Tenmou Shrine is located is actually an area on the lower side of the mountain, and the vertical height is about sixty to seventy meters. When Bai Shuiqiu practiced martial arts and spiritual power, the stream that Bai Shuiqiu often went to was located on the upper side of the mountain.

If only Bai Shuiqiu went up the mountain alone, twenty minutes would be enough for a round trip, and there would even be a lot of time left.

But with Keiko Kamishiro, the speed of travel needs to consider the latter's physique. The girl’s physical strength is weaker than the average person, and she rarely walks on such rugged mountain roads. Even if Bai Shuiqiu leads the way, she still walks a little hard. It took about ten minutes before she arrived at the place where Bai Shuiqiu usually practices. Next to a creek.

At this point, Keiko Kashiro was already a little out of breath.

In order to prevent the girl from having heart problems due to excessive exercise, Bai Shuiqiu suggested taking a break by the stream.

"Sorry, Qiujiang, my stamina is a little too poor..."

Keiko Kashiro leaned her body on the rock beside the stream, while trying to adjust her breathing, she said apologetically, her face flushed a little because of the trek.

Bai Shuiqiu shook his head: "You don't need to apologize for this kind of thing. It should be me who should say sorry. When I came here just now, I walked too fast and didn't consider your physical condition."

Speaking of...

When Bai Shuiqiu first obtained the [breathing method] from the system, he had thought of teaching this spell to Keiko Kamidai, and through the latter's "improving cardiopulmonary function", it would relieve or even cure the girl's heart disease. But because it didn't take long for her to obtain the [breathing method] herself, she didn't implement this idea for the time being.

But now...

After more than a month of practice, Bai Shuiqiu has some understanding of the mechanism of this kind of spell, and he can probably try a little bit according to this idea.

But if you really want to do it, it's best to ask Rain Girl or the old monster first to avoid omissions.

Bai Shuiqiu thought about it silently in his heart.

Time passed by every minute.

Less than two minutes later, Keiko Kandaji stood up again: "Autumn, I can go on."

"Huh? No more rest?"

Under Bai Shuiqiu's gaze, the girl shook her head: "No, it's almost restored. And...it's not good if it's too late. Let's wait until the top of the mountain to rest."

"…Ok."

In fact, they are very close to the top of the mountain.

Crossing this stream, and then walking up the mountain, it is the highest point of the entire Tianmu Mountain.

Bai Shuiqiu had been there several times before.

The most recent one was in May this year.

But because it was the rainy season, and it was a deep twilight in the evening, when I looked down from the top of the mountain, I could only see some dark trees and scattered lights, which was meaningless. So after that, Bai Shuiqiu never went there again.

Nothing to see is one aspect.

On the other hand, it is because if you want to go to the top of the mountain, you have to cross that stream, and in the narrowest part of the stream, the water surface is also three to four meters wide.

Although there are a few stones in the middle that can be used to step up the feet, the distance between the stones is still a little farther, even if you are careful, it is easy to get water on your body. In May, Bai Shuiqiu's physique was not as strong as it is now, so he could only honestly take off his shoes, wade in the water, and wash his feet with hot water when he returned to the shrine.

And when she had the ability to jump across the past, she didn't have the thought of going to the top of the mountain again.

But now...

"Keiko, can you get past this distance?"

While Keiko Kandaro was resting, Bai Shuiqiu wandered for a while on the soft ground next to the stream, and visually inspected the width of the water at the narrowest part of the stream, then walked back to Keiko and asked.

The girl squinted her eyes slightly, bit her lip a little uncertainly: "It should be okay..."

"should?"

It means you are not sure about it?

Bai Shuiqiu frowned slightly, his gaze hovered a few times between the slightly turbulent stream and Keiko Kandaji. He hesitated and suggested, "Then, shall I carry you on my back?"

She originally wanted to say "hug".

But that kind of posture was a bit too shameful, and even if she was too embarrassed to say it, Keiko Kashiro might not be too embarrassed to accept it, so she had to "back" to be a little more plain, even if she was seen by others, there would be nothing special. Thoughts.

After all, there were a lot of guests who came to Tianmu Mountain for the birthday banquet today. Although they were all familiar friends, it was inconvenient to tell outsiders about her and Keiko Kamidai. Especially if it was seen by Jiexia and told Baishui Jiashi or Chiyo, it might not be easy to explain...

"Eh??"

Keiko Kashiro was taken aback for a moment, and then a pair of eyes suddenly widened.

After that, the girl's breathing speeded up significantly, she opened her mouth a little bit of a whimper, and said hesitantly: "It's not that way...but would it be too troublesome for you, Qiujiang...and, I'm actually very heavy." , In case you fall in the creek..."

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Bai Shuiqiu smiled slightly and said lightly.

"…Oh well."

Keiko Kashiro struggled for a while, and finally regarded it as acquiescence.

Immediately, Bai Shuiqiu took off his shoes and socks by the stream, stretched his body, and squatted down on the spot. Keiko Kamishiro looked awkward, and she didn't know where to put her hands. He took a few deep breaths before approaching. He first carried the shoes and socks that Bai Shuiqiu took off just now in his hands, and then lay down on Bai Shuiqiu's back.

After feeling the weight of the girl's body press up, Bai Shuiqiu put his hands on the girl's legs and stood up easily.

Keiko Kashiro's body is actually very light.

This girl is about the same size as Bai Shuiqiu. She is about 1.6 meters tall. She is also of a slender figure. Her weight is only about ninety catties. When Bai Shuiqiu has mobilized her spiritual power, she is said to be light. Nothing is a bit exaggerated, but it's definitely not important.

and…

Because it is summer, the clothes worn by the two of them are very thin. In this position, Keiko Kandaro's upper body is close to Bai Shuiqiu's back. The soft and delicate touch is transmitted through the clothes, making Bai Shuiqiu's body. Once stiff, his breathing accelerated slightly.

The change in Keiko Kamishiro's heartbeat was even more obvious.

Even with two layers of clothing, Bai Shuiqiu could clearly feel the thumping in the girl's chest.

Under this situation, Keiko Kandaji's small white face flushed red, but his hands clasped Bai Shuiqiu's neck subconsciously.

"call…"

After breathing a little, Bai Shuiqiu took a big step forward, steadily stepping on the first rock closest to the stream, and then immediately stepped on the second one, not even more than five or four seconds before and after. The time has appeared on the opposite side of the stream, and the whole process is as light as a swallow.

In fact, with all her strength, she can even leap directly across a three or four-meter-wide water surface, but in that case, the range of ups and downs is too great. Considering that there is a person on her back, she can only pursue a little more stability. .

After crossing the creek, Bai Shuiqiu did not stop immediately, but walked forward for a while, until after crossing the uneven sandy ground that was washed by the stream for a long time, he stopped. , Let out a sigh of relief: "Here."

"Huh, so fast?"

Keiko Kashiro was taken aback for a moment, as if she still didn't react.

After five or six seconds, the girl blushed and jumped off Bai Shuiqiu a little reluctantly.

For a time, neither of them said anything.

There was silence by the stream, and only the rushing of the water was heard, alternating with the sound of falling leaves, and there were two slight heartbeats mixed in between. The one with the faster frequency is obviously Keiko Kandaro. This girl has obviously not gotten out of the tension just now, and it took a full two or three minutes before she slowly calmed down.

"By the way, Qiujiang, your socks..."

Keiko Kashiro passed the shoes and socks in her hand.

"thanks."

Because there were some sand and water stains on her feet, Bai Shuiqiu sat down on the spot and controlled a stream of water to fly over and rinsed it with the Water Control Technique, and then signaled the wind raccoon to blow her breath and help her to remove the water on her feet. Blow dry and put on the socks again.

I have to, the ability of the wind raccoon is quite convenient in this kind of life scene...
