My Magic Age

Looking at the pretty girl who seemed a little embarrassed in front of me, I knew almost nothing about her, and I didn't even know her name.

I was stunned for a long time, and only came back to my senses when I heard Catalina coughing softly beside me.

At this time, the pretty girl had been standing in front of me for a long time.

Her face was full of shame, and her hands were protected in front of her chest. Both hands were tightly clenched into fists. Because of excessive force, the knuckles looked a little white.

"Ahem!" I also coughed awkwardly twice, trying to get rid of the weird atmosphere in the room, but unfortunately it didn't work.

So I could only bite the bullet, stand up and say to the pretty girl: "... It's raining outside, the ground is wet and slippery, there are no street lights on the street, and it's so late. Tomorrow morning, you have to take us around the island, so why don't you stay here with me!"

The pretty girl looked at me in confusion, not knowing why I said such a thing for no reason, as if I was looking for some excuse.

"You can sleep on the sofa in the living room. Of course, if Catalina is willing, you can share a bed with her." I said to the pretty girl.

After saying these words, I turned and walked into the bedroom near the balcony, leaving the pretty girl with a confused face.

Just when she was a little at a loss, I poked my head out of the bedroom door and said to her with a smile: "Oh, by the way, I don't know your name yet. My name is Jijia, I'm sixteen years old. I will participate in the coming-of-age ceremony this fall!"

"Rita!" After she said that, she stared at me with wide eyes. The confusion, astonishment and embarrassment in her eyes slowly turned into a faint smile. The pretty face was like a beautiful red peony against the background of the sweet smile.

"The name is very nice. I have a friend with the same name as you." I said to Rita.

Hearing this girl named Rita say her name, I couldn't help but think of the stubborn girl holding a tower shield in the city of El. I don't know if she is married to Darwin now. I really hope to receive a wedding invitation.

As for telling my real age and the "coming-of-age ceremony" this fall, it was mainly to untie the knot in the heart of this pretty girl named "Rita".

As a noble of the Green Empire, before participating in the coming-of-age ceremony, you need to maintain a pure heart, so that you can get the "blessing of the Statue of Liberty". It shouldn't be so hurtful to use this reason to tactfully refuse the special service proposed by the pretty girl.

Of course, I am still full of expectations for the coming-of-age ceremony in the fall.

…

Rita finally chose to stay. She took a hot bath, wore a nightgown lent to her by Catalina, and sat on the sofa next to the balcony with her legs curled up.

Her pretty face looked flushed, her nose turned a little pink, and her eyes were full of water vapor.

I don't know what reason made this girl named Rita choose to stay. I saw her sitting there with her back to me and Catalina, watching the night rain outside the balcony. Her weak and thin shoulders trembled slightly. Suddenly, I wanted to listen to her talk about her life on Dunai Island. It doesn't matter if there are some lies in it. I just need a reason to help her.

Catalina took out a box of desserts from her magic waist bag, then patted my shoulder and motioned me to go back to the room.

She invited Rita to eat a plate of honey-coated scones, and she did not refuse, but stopped after eating a few pieces, holding a cup of tea and chatting with Catalina on the sofa. She was a smart girl with delicate mind, sensitive and knowing how to measure. Dunai Island was described by her line by line in her whisper.

Listening to Rita's talk about Dunai Island, I also walked out of the bedroom and leaned on the balcony, feeling the raindrops in the night sky while looking at this island city hidden in the dark.

The hotel is located a certain distance from the seaside, and the sound of the waves seems very weak.

This is a majestic city built on the mountain. It is one of the best island cities in the Vashj Sea. Countless merchant ships arriving in the western sea will anchor at the dock of Dunai Island. It has gradually become a maritime transportation hub in the western sea of ​​Vashj. Due to the continuous decrease in merchant ships traveling to Dunai Island recently, the residents of Dunai Island who rely on the dock for their livelihood have lost their source of livelihood.

Few islanders here are engaged in sea fishing. Although this island is large, it has more residents. It is a densely populated island city. Most of the daily necessities of the entire island are imported goods. Only a few kinds of fruits and spices are produced on Dunai Island.

After the plane war began, the Great Abyss became the front line closest to the Faceless Legion, and Yam Island in the west of the Great Abyss became the central island of that area. According to the strategic instructions of Grand Duke Mensa, all resources of the Vashj plane must be tilted towards Yam Island to ensure sufficient supply of materials in the Great Abyss war zone.

As a result, Dunai Island suffered a considerable impact. The number of ships anchored at the originally prosperous and lively dock suddenly decreased by half.

Port trade is the most important pillar industry of Dunai Island. The gradual decrease in the number of ships at the port has directly led to a sharp rise in the unemployment rate of residents on Dunai Island.

When Rita said this, I suddenly understood why there were so many workers waiting for merchant ships at the port dock in the drizzle late at night.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

The door was open, and Helena's pretty face with a bright smile poked in from the door. She saw Caterina and Rita sitting on the sofa, drinking hot tea, eating honey scones, chatting softly, and smiling at Catalina. Said: "Would you mind chatting with a few more people?"

Catalina looked at Helena with a smile, and saw Helena, who had changed into pajamas and pajamas, walked in first. The former was holding a round barbecue grill in her hand and said to Catalina and Rita: "I have grilled fish ready here."

Sure enough, Becky followed Helena with a basin full of fresh fish, shrimp and shellfish. Helena placed the barbecue grill on the edge of the balcony, then came up to me and rubbed her sexy body with mermaid threads. His lower abdomen pouted and his mouth coquettishly said to me: "Jijia, I'm hungry..."

So... the first thing we did after arriving on Dunay Island was not to inquire about the Kraken, nor to admire the scenery on the island, nor to persuade the island's governor to join forces to resist Marquis Boris, but to hide in a gorgeous building. Eat seafood barbecue in the manor-style hotel.

They even drank some golden cider at the end.

After drinking, the girls chatted more freely.

At the beginning, Catalina told about her experience of traveling to the Roland continent with a dance troupe. Qige was also mentioned in the story, but Catalina did not mention the experience in the wasteland, but just moved the caravan through New West Asia. Let me tell you some stories about the Chisi Mountains, as well as the young aristocratic boy who almost broke into her heart when she first fell in love - Dai.

Then Helena recounted that she was born in a noble family that was gradually declining. In order to continue to maintain the family's glory, the family made various attempts, but failed to change the fact that the family's talents were withering. Later, he encountered an excellent opportunity. Prince James got a magic contract scroll of 'Soul Connection'. He wanted to hold a 'Soul Connection' ceremony for his favorite daughter, Princess Yingli. He needed two people from noble families of the Green Empire. Girls give of themselves…

Helena didn't say whether signing the 'soul connection' contract with Ying Li was voluntary or forced by her family. I think it was probably both. This kind of soul contract is very special. If you don't let go of your heart and willingly connect your souls together, there is no chance of success.

Eventually I joined in and it was kind of like a game of ‘Truth or Dare’.

Maybe everyone was drunk, or maybe everyone became familiar with each other and started to speak fluently.

Helena was cutting thin onions on the balcony, while teasing Rita, who was blushing: "Hey, Rita, is it the custom on Dunay Island for the guide to stay at the employer's house?"

Rita's already blushing cheeks suddenly spread to the root of her neck. She covered her face with her hands and buried her head in the sofa, like an ostrich with its head in the sand.

Perhaps due to family life, perhaps because they want to gamble on their own destiny, many young girls on Dunai Island will choose this method to promote themselves. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, those girls need to have Be confident enough and beautiful enough.

Because they can come to Dunay Island and can afford money, the guests who hire guides to visit the island are wealthy nobles and businessmen. Maybe there is no shortage of beautiful women around them, but many people don't mind at all. There is such a well-behaved and beautiful woman beside me.

But Rita never thought that our group really needed a guide.

Ying Li asked Rita about the Kraken. Rita's eyes were a little blurry. She drank a big sip of ice water and tried to wake herself up. She frowned and looked a little playful. She tried to give some answers to "About the Kraken". I searched for it from my memory. Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, I didn't have any answer.

Rita told us that she knew there was a tavern on Dunay Island that sold all kinds of information, and maybe we could get our answers there.

I couldn't wait to visit that pub.

Before the final sleepiness hit me, I walked into my bedroom rationally and threw myself on the soft big bed...

By the time I felt a ray of warm sunshine hitting my face, the sweet chirping of birds could already be heard outside the window, and the sea breeze with a slight fishy and salty smell blew in from the window through a thin gauze curtain. I stepped out of bed. When I got up, I saw a blue sea outside the window, with clouds like marshmallows piled up on the sky, as if the rain had become a thing of the past.

The living room was in a mess, but empty.

Catalina's bedroom door was open, and Rita, who was wearing a nightgown one size larger, was still sleeping soundly. She was running on the bed, hugging the fluffy quilt, and her nightgown was turned up, revealing a long, slender white body. Legs, long chestnut hair scattered on the pillow, mouth slightly open.

Catalina had woken up early and was standing on the balcony of her room, stretching her muscles and bones facing the golden sun. This was to maintain her flexibility, coordination, balance, etc.

She wore a set of tight-fitting leather armor, and the thin leather armor clearly outlined the perfect curves of her body. In any case, her soft and sexy body was far more attractive than an undeveloped green apple like Rita.

She seemed to be aware of it. She turned around and saw me standing leaning against the door. She walked over from the balcony with a smile, gently closed the door of the room, and said to me: "What are you looking at? It's early, hurry up and meditate!"

…

Dunay Island is an island city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

The manor-style hotel where we live is located in the wealthy area on the hillside of the island city. It has a beautiful environment and a wide view. Most of the buildings are hidden in the green plants. Although the room rate every night is very expensive, the pleasant scenery makes people feel that it is worth it.

When the magic caravan carried us slowly out of the manor, Duke's figure appeared from a balcony. He was wearing a loose pajamas, with his collar open, revealing a skinny figure like ribs. A beautiful woman in silk pajamas followed him, but she was not the blonde woman who accompanied him on the boat yesterday.

The two of them leaned on the balcony stone railing and talked and laughed. Duke seemed to see me and waved to me.

I was also helpless. I didn't expect that Duke's eyes were really sharp. The carriage just passed by his balcony and he saw me sitting in the carriage.

Out of politeness, I could only lean out of the window and waved to him.

The magic carriage drove out of the iron gate of the manor. The streets of Dunai Island were very wide. There were basically no magic carriages and no pedestrians on the streets. It seemed very quiet.

The streets were paved with flat slabs of stone, and the gaps between the slabs were very narrow. Rita sat in the magic carriage and proudly boasted to us that even a knife as thin as a cicada's wing could not be inserted into the gaps between the slabs on the long streets of Dunai Island.

There were some plants similar to palm trees growing on both sides of the slab street, and the broad leaves looked full of vitality.

Along the way, we saw a magic shop and saw a sign hanging at the door saying "Open for Business". We planned to go to the magic shop to buy a few bottles of magic ink when we went shopping later.

Our carriage sped down along the circular mountain road from the wealthy area halfway up the mountain on Dunai Island, and the scenery on both sides of the window kept flying backwards.

The further down the carriage went, the denser the buildings on both sides of the street became, and the green plants in the courtyard gradually became scarce. The further down we went, the more dilapidated the buildings looked.

Rita seemed to be doing her duty in the carriage, constantly telling us stories about Dunai Island. It was obvious that she was very familiar with the island.

Yingli, Helena and Becky were very interested along the way, perhaps because they had gotten to know Rita last night. When they saw strange buildings on the roadside, they would ask Rita what those buildings were used for.

The carriage stopped at the door of a tavern. This tavern had no sign, but a huge oak barrel on the roof.

Rita told me that this tavern was mainly for selling news. The tavern owner here would provide everyone with all kinds of news, even if a fishing boat came to ask about the approximate location of the fish school...
