Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

Walking through the streets and alleys, she passed by a confrontation scene. Two opposing gangs each held a staff and stared at each other fiercely. She nodded politely to the two leaders of both parties, and one of them leaned down with the tip of his staff toward her. She simply bowed, and the other person glanced at her and was stunned for a moment before forcing out a smile. Aecilia smiled back, then turned around and continued walking forward.

After walking some distance, the sound of fighting came from behind.

The deserted streets around her were soon replaced by a noisy market. Aecilia reached out to stop a vendor selling grilled squid skewers when he passed by. After asking if he was not a spiritual creature, she felt sad that the vendor was about to miss out on customers. Bought two bags of grilled squid skewers.

The vendor was so happy that he jumped up on the spot and shouted "It's open, it's open", without hiding the wolf's tail behind him for a moment.

Aecilia asked:

"Are you helping your parents sell skewers?"

Xiaolang looked at the kind customer and nodded honestly.

Aecilia hung the bag on the fingers of her other hand and rubbed his head with her free hand:

"Tell your parents to come back early. It's dangerous for a little wolf to stay here."

The little wolf showed his teeth, which were still covered with fresh flesh and blood:

"Thank you, big brother!"

Aecilia bent her eyes and smiled:

"You're welcome. Hide your tail. There is a wolf dealer five hundred meters to the left."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Her eyes searched the various shops along the street. She had never visited this street before and was not very familiar with it.

Finally, she stopped in front of a shop with a sign of "Xinyue Hotel", took a look at the red mailbox by the door and the pink flower basket hanging by the window, and walked slowly into the store.

She sat down on the table and chair in the corner and put the book in her hand on the table. She was about to put the squid skewers she was holding in her other hand on the table. When she looked up, she saw a man in shawl had already sat down opposite. A man in a black cloak with no face.

When the man saw her looking over, he stood up and ran towards a door in the store.

Aecilia had no choice but to stand up, pick up the book she had just put down, and follow the other party.

After passing through the door in the store, you walked to an open space surrounded by houses. There were all kinds of flowers and plants around, full of life, and there were water lily leaves floating on the water tank beside it.

The bluestone slabs on the path under her feet were paved forward one by one. She walked forward along the slabs, and a black cloak fell from the air and fell to the ground in front of her.

She looked up and saw the huge moon hanging high in the sky.

The spire of a black Gothic castle happened to cover the middle part of the bright moon. Under the spire, where a person could barely stand, a small figure stood there with his hands on his waist and black shoulder-length hair. It spread in all directions in the wind, and the purple ribbon that tied the hair around her ears in the center of her head also flew in the wind.

This is a little girl wearing a gorgeous tutu skirt with black as the main color, with purple and orange occasionally mixed in. The end of the huge black ribbon bow at the back of her waist even reaches past the fluffy skirt that just reaches her knees. Her stockings with star prints and small black leather shoes with bows on the front were swept over her, and they were blowing gently in the wind like her hair.

She raised her head and raised her hands on her waist, as if she were holding the bright full moon in the sky.

The sharp and loud laughter passed through the distance and rang in the ears of Aecilia who was looking up at her:

"Ahahahahahahaha! On this rare full moon night, the little witch welcomes a distinguished guest from afar - Your Excellency Iris!"

Aecilia listened quietly to what she said, then held on to the vines that sprouted from the ground at her feet and climbed to her level, stretched out her hand towards her, and spoke concisely:

"Thank you, come down."

The other party blinked his big watery eyes and gently folded his small palm on top of her outstretched palm.

When she landed, she heard the girl's soft words:

"Sister, don't spoil others' interest on the first day..."

Aecilia pinched her tender face hard:

"Who taught you to talk like this?"

The girl pouted in embarrassment and finally returned to her normal posture. She patted the hem of her skirt that was inevitably stained with dust after landing, and then waved her hand:

"Oh, kids, you should study more while you are young and have good memory~"

Aecilia looked at her and narrowed her eyes:

"Where did a person learn to do such dangerous things by running to such a high place?"

The girl put her hands behind her back, lowered her head and twisted for a while, then murmured in a low voice:

"The witches in the books all look like this...the moon, the tall spire, and..."

At the end of the sentence, she raised her head with some embarrassment and saw that Aecilia was already well prepared. She smiled, clapped her hands lightly, then put them on her waist, raising her head slightly:

"Jiejiejiejiejiejiejiejiejie..."

Before she finished "Jie", Aecilia handed the squid skewer to her mouth.

The girl opened her mouth and took a bite of the grilled squid, then quickly stretched out her hands to hold the skewers:

"Oh, hot, hot, hot, hot..."

Aecilia retracted her hand and stared at her for a while. The other party quickly finished eating a bunch of grilled squid, and her mouth was full of juice and solid seasoning. She took out her handkerchief, pinched her chin and wiped her mouth. The other party handed her a whole bag of squid skewers with a coquettish "I want more" sound.

The two people sat down in a nearby house, facing each other, each eating grilled squid.

Aecilia said:

"Did you put a protective spell on it when you went up?"

The other party immediately replied:

"Let it go, let it go, I won't make such a small mistake..."

Under the emotionless gaze of the person opposite, the girl's voice gradually weakened:

"There will be no next time...wuwu..."

Aecilia lowered her head and continued eating grilled squid.

"Iris—Iris?"

The girl put her white and tender little hands in front of her and waved:

"Don't ignore me..."

Aecilia grabbed her hand and said seriously:

"Let's get down to business first."

The girl immediately looked solemn and took out a large stack of documents and handed them to her:

"What you want."

Aecilia took it over and checked it - there was actually nothing to check, she just flipped through it - then she raised her head and said solemnly:

"Credit first."

The girl burst out laughing, then hugged her belly and kept laughing "hahahahahahahahaha".

After wiping her mouth, Aecilia looked at her helplessly. After she stopped, she poured a pot of tea and handed it to her:

"Have you finished your homework for today?"

The girl rolled her golden and bright eyes, and then looked at her.

Aecilia:

"Did you skip class again?"

The girl nodded, her half-long black hair falling on her shoulders, and she looked quite well-behaved.

After thinking about it, she added:

"I asked the teacher to teach the content of two classes in advance, so it won't delay the progress."
