Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

At night, four people were barbecuing in the open space outside the warehouse. The charcoal fire was dark red, and oil fell into it from time to time, emitting traces of green smoke and fragrance.

"Would you like a can of beer?" Gen asked the girl sitting on the iron bucket opposite.

Tilan was holding the freshly grilled lamb chops in her hand, blowing on them and eating slowly. It must be said that the Maillard reaction caused by the barbecue made the food particularly attractive, with its aroma, temperature and , taste, together form a wonderful feeling.

"A can of something lighter." Tilan raised her hand, and the other party picked out a can from the crushed ice and threw it over.

After catching it, Tilan put it aside for the time being and waited until she finished eating the bunch in her hand before drinking.

The other two people, Suojia would be squatting on the scrap metal box, eating meat and drinking cocktails in one bite, while Alanna was a little more elegant, sitting on the chair next to the barbecue, eating slowly, with a bag on her head. Headphones, occasionally tapping the speaker next to him with his fingers, as if pondering the melody of some song.

Genn briefly turned over the meat on the grill, then leaned on the lounge chair nearby. He drank a large gulp of beer comfortably, then picked up a skewer of grilled meat and enjoyed it.

Because of Tilan's arrival and Alanna's recovery, the atmosphere tonight was obviously much better. It was not as anxious and depressing as the previous days. Suojia even remembered something in the middle and moved a dismantled car player over. , connect the speakers to play music.

Of course, the songs are all metal rock that Tilan doesn’t listen to much.

When they were almost done eating, Alanna put down her headphones, stood up, and called the three of them over.

"I feel a lot better today. I worried everyone a few days ago." She looked at Suojia and Gen.

"It's okay, the eldest lady just needs to regain her fighting spirit." Genn didn't care about this. He believed in Alana and thought that as long as she regained her fighting spirit, many problems could be solved.

"This is our eldest sister!" Suojia picked up the wine glass and toasted to Alanna.

Seeing that everyone believed in her so much, Alanna was also a little moved. In fact, she was also a little confused at the time and was shocked by the sudden change.

Now after a few days, after she recovered, she found that she was not without the ability to fight back.

Since the other party did not use violence or other personnel to force him to stay at the airport that night, it means that the other party actually did not want to make the matter a big deal. Think about it, if a very popular star suddenly died there, or disappeared, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. Big storm.

This is the Central Star Territory, and such a serious safety incident will inevitably trigger a thorough investigation by the upper levels of the federation.

The other party also has great concerns.

Another point is that although the other party instigated many members of the 'Z' group to rebel, Alanna also realized that the other party's control over those members was quite limited.

If a decent federal citizen who has never committed a crime is suddenly forced to do something serious and illegal, he will instinctively be afraid and refuse, and may even make things worse intentionally or unintentionally.

So that day, even though most of the people betrayed them, their process of preventing Alanna from leaving could be said to be quite reckless and completely unlike the strength Alanna usually saw.

"...So I thought about it. As long as I find out the reason why they are being coerced and resolve their concerns, it will be easy for them to turn back." Alanna said.

"The problem is that we have no advantage in intelligence. We don't even know who the other party is or where they are." At this point, Alanna was also a little discouraged.

"No, no, no, there are still clues." Gen waved his hand. He had been a black mercenary before, so he naturally knew some tricks.

"Since the other party can threaten those members, they must use some means. It cannot be that Void does it and others will be unlucky."

"With so many people betraying, not everyone is very determined. As long as you find a few who are already wavering and get information from them, you can know what means the other party uses to achieve the threat."

"In addition, as I said just now, if neither we nor the other party dare to call the police, it will actually be more beneficial to us." He took another sip.

"Crime is also serious. If it is an illegal assembly, theft or other small matters, the police will not put too much effort into handling them. But since the other party can be so covert and control most of our members quietly, it shows that the other party is The organization is extremely high, which means it is a very dangerous organization.”

"Such a highly dangerous organization is more afraid of exposure than we are. Even if our past affairs are exposed, we will at most be labeled as an illegal organization dissatisfied with the federation, but in general, we have not committed any crime and the punishment is limited. "

"But the other party is different. Maybe even the Inquisition will get involved and specially set up a project to allocate manpower." After Gen's analysis, several other people were also thoughtful.

"In this case... I may have a few candidates." Alanna also thought of several breakthroughs. She still knew her former subordinates very well.

"However, it is difficult to control the other party's real situation just by communicating through 'connection'."

"So we are going to stop people at the door, right?" Hearing this, Suojia became a little excited.

"You still have to pay attention to the scale, but as long as the opponent is blocked, he has to say something no matter what. It is impossible to resist." Alanna is quite confident.

"When will you go?" Suojia continued to ask.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow evening, I will notify you in advance, and I will also need to find a helper." Alana thought of an old friend.

After listening to the entire discussion, Tilan nodded slightly, "Then I'll come back tomorrow."

"Well, Zijin still has work and part-time job to be busy with. If there is a time conflict, you can talk to me later." Alanna was quite tolerant.

Afterwards, several people finished the barbecue and it was getting late, so they dispersed.

…

the next day.

In the morning, Tilan still stayed at the pet hospital, helping the guests analyze the training and advanced problems of their pets, and also handled some chores in the store. It can be said that it was quite fulfilling, and there was not much time left for leisurely reading. .

"Where are you going this afternoon, Zi Hibiscus." After lunch, Lemon Guo came over. She was wearing a lemon-yellow dress today.

"What's the point of asking?" Generally speaking, Lemon Fruit will not ask about where he is going.

"Well, I have a black lion here. If you go for a walk or drive in the countryside, you can take it with you." Lemongo opened the personal terminal in his hand, and a powerful black lion projection appeared, with data listed next to it.

Name: Black Prince

Extraordinary Job Introduction: Original Sequence 5 · Wilderness Black Lion

Note: Guest No. 17831 keeps a pet companion with a stable personality.

Strength evaluation: Rare condensed pearl level

Safety rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

"Its owner is the executive of 'Dakshe Matrix', 'Qiaofeng' Emily. However, this busy person usually has many affairs and often cannot take care of them. He also doesn't want to keep his beloved pet at home all the time, so he often Entrust us to take it for a ride.”

"Originally, I have been doing this good job. Occasionally, I have been invited to dinner by Emily, and we are very familiar with her. But didn't I say it yesterday? Now that Zijin has fulfilled my request, I must not forget the agreement. ”

"Are you going to take it out for a spin? It's still very obedient. I believe that with Zijin's strength, it will be easy to get along with it." Lemon Guo shook the car key in his hand.

"I'll go out in the afternoon, but not necessarily to the countryside."

"OK, that's fine. Anyway, it's good to let it out for a while." Lemon Guo asked Tilan to follow him.

"Go to the attic on the top floor of the house at the back. There is a room dedicated to it."

So Tilan followed, and the two of them wandered around the house until they reached the top attic. It was around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and a majestic black lion was lying on the ground taking a nap. Basking in the sun.

"I'm here, Black Prince~" Lemon Guo greeted skillfully, but the other party only waved his ears and his body remained motionless.

"Phew, this guy still looks down on people." Lemongo walked over, squatted next to the mighty black lion, patted its butt, picked up its long and thick tail, and pulled it a few times.

A little impatient at being scratched by the thorns, the black lion turned over, turned its head and roared at the lemon fruit. The sound was so rich that ordinary people might be particularly scared after hearing it.

"Okay, don't be angry. I will introduce you to a new friend now. She will take you out to play in the afternoon." Lemon Guo stepped aside and let Tilan come to him.

"Look, this is our new colleague, Miss Zijin. She is very powerful, probably not much better than me." Lemon Guo said with a smile on her face.

In response to this, the black lion showed disdain and lay down lazily. It has known lemon fruit for almost a year. Although the IQ of animals is not as good as humans, it also found that lemon fruit is really watery and not as good as what is usually made for it. Care and testing by other breeders.

"Give me some face, I praised you for being very good and obedient in front of sister Emily." Lemon Fruit complained, taking the opportunity to touch the wide and fluffy mane.

"How is it? Isn't it very beautiful? It has a sense of primitive power and the beauty of a beast." Lemon Fruit said to Tilan beside him.

"It's very powerful." Speaking of which, this is not the first time Tilan has seen this kind of black lion. In the past, she had a familiar friend at Yuanting Academy who had a similar black lion. That one was similar to this one. It may only be stronger compared to strength.

"You can also touch it to let it get familiar with your scent, and then feed it something to eat. If it eats it, it will probably recognize you." Lemon Guo introduced.

"Okay, I'll try." Tilan nodded.

After that, Lemon Guo talked nonsense in front of the black lion for nearly 20 minutes like a normal thing. Such warm afternoon sunshine and such unnutritious words made the big black lion feel sleepy, and then he didn't care. The girl is still stroking its mane.

"That should be enough." Seeing that the black lion was completely relaxed, Lemongo showed a done gesture.

"Is this enough?" Tilan was curious.

"Yeah, it has a habit, or inertia. When it gets used to sleeping next to you, it won't be hostile to you."

"This will let it sleep for ten minutes. I will tell you what to pay attention to, and then take it out."

Later, Lemon Fruit explained to Tilan the things to pay attention to when taking the black lion out for a ride, such as not giving him anything to eat, and using a special collar and chain if he takes it to a crowded place.

…

"Okay, that's all I can tell you. Now we can set off." Lemon Fruit shook the black lion from its nap, then dangled the car key in front of it, listening to the jingling sound.

The black lion suddenly became energetic and began to walk back and forth in the room. It seemed that it knew that it was about to go out for a walk.

"Hey, come with me, but it's this sister who will take you out today." She pointed at Tilan.

The Black Lion glanced at Tilan and let out a calm growl, which seemed to indicate that it understood. After spending more than half an hour together, it showed no hostility to Tilan.

"Okay, let's go down."

Then Lemon Guo opened the room's pipe system, took Black Lion downstairs, and walked through the stairs in a familiar way to the underground garage in the backyard of the store.

"That open-top hover car is the one that can fly and run on the ground. It was also placed here by Emily 'Qiaofeng'. There are collars and chains on the car. If you want to take it to a crowded place, If it’s somewhere, you have to tie it up in advance, but if it’s in the wilderness, let it run free. You can just sit in the car and follow.”

After the explanation, Lemon Guo asked Black Lion and Tilan to get in the car, and then set a rough direction.

"Let's go there first." She suggested.

After looking at the location, if it was there, Tilan would have received the news from Alanna after four o'clock in the afternoon, so it would be too late to rush there.

"Okay." Tilan nodded.

"By the way, can Tilan drive?" Lemon Guo asked.

"She knows a little bit." She does know how to do it. When she was in high school, Jin Senke gave her a car as a gift, but unfortunately she didn't drive it a few times.

"It doesn't matter if you don't. It has an automatic driving function, but it's just not as fun as driving it by yourself."

"Okay, no more talking, it's already impatient, let's go."

Then the hover car started, rising slightly at first, and then started according to the direction of the automatic navigation. Tilan sat in the front row and waved to the lemon fruit behind. Soon the hover car left the pet hospital and entered the city's aerial track. line.

The wind is blowing, it is the end of February, the weather is a bit cold, but the sunshine in the afternoon is just right, giving people a warm feeling.

Soon the speed of the car stabilized, and Tilan now had some free time to overlook the scenery below.

Academy City is particularly beautiful when viewed from the air. The sky is blue and clear, with sparse clouds. Various large and distinctive buildings stand below. From the style, you can vaguely distinguish each of the famous universities in the federation.

The landmark that looks like crossed swords should be the 'Twin Swords Academy', the one with water patterns flowing in the ring over there is the 'Rhythm Academy', and the 'Tianqing Academy' that looks like a rocket launcher in the distance , are all top-ranked prestigious schools in the federation.

When Tilan looked at the scenery in the distance, she felt the slight itch of the mane brushing against her ears. She turned her head and found that the black lion sitting in the back seat was hitting its two front paws on the back of the seat. , come here if you can.

"Do you also want to see the scenery?" Tilan asked curiously, reaching out and touching it.

Although to ordinary people, this was a mighty and ferocious beast, in her eyes, it was actually not much different from a kitten.

"Roar--"

Facing the wind, the black lion let out a hearty roar, followed by the girl's light laughter.

The daylight was just right, so she took this big guy for a ride in the suburban wilderness on the edge of Academy City. The environment of this planet was really good, there was no pollution, and the air and water were extremely clean and clear. When did the emerald skirt It would be nice to be like this.

If there really is such an ideal future world, it would probably be a world where everyone does not need to be involuntarily involved and can take their family and friends out for a ride every afternoon.
