Temple and special horse racing skills

Although it was logical to establish a romantic relationship after marriage, Shier found that he couldn't find anyone to show off to.

Everyone has an expression of "you two have been married for so long and what are you talking about now".

——Of course, he himself is not a person who likes to show off, but the sudden and inexplicable good news really makes people can't help but think more.

such as……

"why me?"

"Shiel has many advantages."

"Give me a little example?"

"Face."

"..."

He suddenly felt that he couldn't continue talking today.

Of course, the other party immediately added items such as "very strong", "cooking cat food is great", "knowing each other for many years and working together tacitly", but it sounds like they are trying to make up for it.She couldn't lie to the conjurer of the Buddhist monastery, but this may not be the whole truth-who would choose someone without hesitation just because he cooks delicious cat food?At least it should be up to the point that the food cooked for people is delicious, right?

But anyway, across all kinds of questionable parts, they have now embarked on a normal marriage relationship.

— the first step, probably.

What kind of standard should be maintained in normal love and marriage life? Here are some precedents for him to refer to. During the process of learning to drive, he passively met some local non-artist residents, and he has always maintained a constant relationship with Aaron and Meijiu. No contact.

"What, marriage counseling?"

Aaron seemed very surprised: "Why did I suddenly think of this? Didn't you have a good relationship before? Could it be a marriage crisis?"

"……Do not."

Shi Er found it difficult to explain to the other party: "I just feel that the relationship has improved, so I—"

It can't be said that the marriages before yesterday were just expedient strategies chosen for cooperation. After all, they pretended to be so similar before, and it's not easy to let this pretended relationship be completely ruined.

"Are you anxious after marriage? That's why."

Aaron nodded with an expression that he knew very well: "It is indeed very important to create a sense of freshness for marriage. You can arrange a trip, or do something that you have never done before..."

Shier: Forget it...he shouldn't have asked this self-talking non-magician.

And according to the other party's suggestion, they often travel far away when traveling. If the exorcism of the curse is included, it can be said that they frequently fly to and from Tokyo, Hokkaido; After calming down, he will find that getting along with him has hardly changed.

This is also normal, after all, we have known each other for too long.

He couldn't help but look at the other party, who was holding a cat teasing stick in his hand. Ah Xiang pounced twice symbolically, with a very perfunctory business attitude. As an eight-year-old adult cat, he was determined not to behave like a one-year-old cat. Jump up and down like a kitten.

But... maybe it would be nice not to go out for work.

"Do you have any plans recently?"

"What do you mean? If it's a competition, there isn't one for now."

"Hmm... Helping the Conjuration Alliance to exorcise the curse spirit is also considered."

"The dispensable work is not done by me, but someone else can take it."

That is, travel is possible.

The two of them are not short of money. Although they can't use the future to gain profits by gambling on horses, the rewards for practically exorcising the curse spirit are not small.The Ainu Conjuration Alliance has been short of manpower year after year, and if someone is willing to help, they will naturally welcome it with both hands. Of course, they don't mind whether the person who comes to support is a real conjurer.

"It's troublesome over there in Kyoto, with accents and cumbersome procedures."

The assistant supervisor who was in charge of leading the way at that time once complained with curled lips: "It's not that era anymore."

Not what era?

Mission reports must be written by hand and bound into a book together with countless files; there is no way to check the location of the magic spirit in the computer, and the operation method is not traditional enough to be rejected; the order is even very likely to be a group that does not even know how to use a mobile phone. used guy.

Coming along with the millennium is the age of the Internet.Ah Jing asserted this point very specifically. The vigorous development of the Internet and the advancement of electronic equipment have made the whole world change with each passing day, and the types of spells will become more and more complicated. left behind by the times.

Shier's work here can be said to be like a fish in water. After all, after eliminating those prejudices that shouldn't exist, his gifted body has greatly improved his combat efficiency. The speed of spells and exorcising curse spirits is even faster than many magicians.

However, although there are many business trips, it is indeed the first time to travel purely for pleasure.

The two were lost in thought over a tourist map.

Ah Jing subconsciously wanted to "see" with her eyes, but Shier stopped her from abusing her magic power and reached out to cover those eyes—"Just confirm the most basic safety issues, and the rest can be checked travelling guideline."

"I always feel that Shir is starting to become arrogant."

"……what?"

"I didn't care about such trivial things as whether to use spell power or not."

"Would you prefer me to stay where I was before?"

"No, Shier is fine as it is now."

Ah Jing answered immediately.

In the end, the two of them decided to go to a hot spring hotel in Hokkaido to make up for this famous tourist project that was recommended at the beginning.

I have been to Sapporo too many times. Since the headquarters of the League of Spells is here, every time I come here, I feel like I am working overtime, so I don't think about it.After consulting a local magician, the two of them were recommended a small shop in a remote location, and the person concerned promised that the trip would be worthwhile.

The hotel is located at the foot of the mountain, and the winding road is long and winding, so you need to rent a car after the plane lands.The atmosphere of the store is also very old-fashioned. I can't even find their promotional homepage on the Internet. There is only a phone number I heard from the recommender for making an appointment in advance.

"So complicated."

Ah Jing complained.

"It's pretty normal."

After putting down the phone, Shi Er, who was born in a big family of conjurers, said: "The old hotels in Kyoto are also like this."

"I always feel that travel preparations should be able to complete the entire process online..."

"What era is this judgment?"

"Right now? Or a few years later... I don't remember exactly how many years later it should be."

"That's really exciting."

She mentioned the future frankly. It is said that the screens of mobile phones will become much larger in the future. The Internet industry will cover all aspects of life. The pressure of the bubble economy still exists, but people always stumble towards the arrival of the new century.

All the traveler's belongings were packed in the stomach of Mana Ling, and the two of them were relaxed, except for their own clothes, only the wallet in their pockets was left.This kind of overly light travel outfit is really rare in this day and age, even before driving into the mountain, he was stopped by the police for interrogation, fearing that the two of them would go into the mountain and commit suicide together - under the general tone of the economic downturn, This has become one of the factors that the police cannot ignore.

"Why, it's a wedding trip."

Ah Jing vowed: "We have a very good relationship."

Shi Er was repeatedly checked his driver's license and identity information. The police hesitated for a few seconds: "But you should have been married for several years...do you make up for the wedding trip at this time?"

"At that time, I was too busy with work, and I had just become a professional chess player. I was under a lot of pressure in various aspects, so I only made up for it recently."

Ah Jing's occupation is a serious Go player, and this information is easy to find: "In short, there will be no accidents like you imagined."

"Hmm... sorry, it seems we didn't think about it."

The other party bowed slightly towards the car of the two of them: "I wish you a pleasant journey!"

After driving far away, Shi Er held the steering wheel and asked thoughtfully, "Is the world of non-magicians so bad now?"

No matter how you look at it, the two of them are going on a normal outing...

"The world of ordinary people has its own difficulties. House prices and incomes have plummeted. Many companies are laying off employees, but the mortgage has to be paid off...Economic problems will ultimately fall on the shoulders of every ordinary person. , not everyone can withstand the pressure of the times.”

Her voice was steady: "And the magic spirits born for these reasons will turn into pressure for magicians——if the magic world doesn't follow suit, this pain and burden will only be transferred to Ordinary magicians."

It is not too difficult to come to this conclusion.

There are many economists who have made qualitative analysis of today's economic crisis and the collapse of the housing market. The bubble burst that has lasted from the early 90s to the present is menacing. The eyes of the economics field all over the world will be fixed on this place. Explain the matter clearly and easily.

And the increase in spell spirits caused by the malaise of the overall environment is the level of thinking that "as long as you have a brain, you can associate it."

However, the attitude of the magic world is... no response.

Shi Er also quickly figured this out: "Hey, those guys."

The times of the mountains and rivers have changed, from Ping'an to Heisei, the interests of the upper class have always been the same.As long as they can continue to maintain the stability of this small circle, they don't care how much the lower-level magicians like worker bees will be damaged.

"—But I will protect Shir."

she said so.

The guy in charge of driving even forgot to turn on the turn signal when he turned the corner. He coughed: "Should I say this?"

/>

"Then I will be taken care of."

She smiled: "Whether it is in the past or in the future, please give me your advice."

The hotel is indeed a good hotel. After receiving the call, the owner had already cleaned up the room one day in advance, and his business attitude was impeccable.There is a small vegetable field near the store, which seems to be taken care of by the owner himself. The plants are growing lush and lush.

It's just too remote.

Shi Er became more and more suspicious as he drove. This is already a road into the mountains. Although they have been vaccinated from the beginning, they did not expect the hotel to be hidden so deep—it is true that some people have lived in the city for a long time. Many guests are willing to come to experience the rural atmosphere, but from the perspective of a businessman, this is completely an act of chasing customers.

"You were introduced by Zhengchen."

The owner of the shop smiled, and with a wave of his hand, two small paper figures the size of a palm walked over from the ground, holding a roll of wet towels together: "The shop is remote, so it's hard for you to come so far... You can take things freely, and you can tell them directly if you want to order anything, and the effect is the same as telling me."

Both of them opened their eyes wide.

—Obviously, this shop is run by a conjurer.

Shi'er's reaction was quick. He quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Ah Jing, with one hand clenched into a fist, and the other hand resting on the mouth of the curse spirit, ready to draw a weapon from it.The latter also put on an awe-inspiring attitude, and his eyes with heterochromatic irises fixed on the face of the shopkeeper.

"Don't be so nervous-I know you two, I checked your two information when I left your contact information."

The shopkeeper pointed his finger, and there was a thick monitor behind the counter not far away: "Actually, you are quite famous."

After briefly confirming the future, Ah Jing also relaxed, and she looked at the little paper figurine busy in the room with some curiosity: "If you are a magician, you should have countless ways to make money, why do you live here ?”

Although the decoration of this hotel is good, it is obvious that there are not many customers. Judging from the current management strategy, it does not look like it is actively soliciting customers.All the work is done by the owner alone, ranging from sweeping and welcoming guests to organizing and cooking. Without so many shikigami paper figurines, it would be really difficult to run the entire hotel.

"How to make money?"

The shopkeeper raised his arms and asked her back: "You have seen my spells. These guys don't have any offensive capabilities. To a certain extent, they can share my hearing and vision, but the effect and quantity are quite limited..."

The implication is that there is no way to exorcise the curse spirit, and it is also impossible to kill people as a curse master.Of course, becoming a curse master is an unpopular option, and most people who have spells still retain basic and simple moral values.

"At least you can serve as an auxiliary supervisor. People with spells are much more convenient than those who can only see. What's more, your spells are more efficient."

Shir said.

Over the years, he has also learned a lot about the operation of the Conjuration Alliance in Hokkaido. As long as it is worthy of combat power, the Conjuration Alliance can do it regardless of background. Among them, opening a hotel will make more money.

It's a pity that the other party didn't buy it, he just shook his head lightly, and forcibly changed the topic: "Driving here, the journey has been exhausting, right? The boat is tiring, and the hot spring is ready. After dinner, I will invite you to come here." enjoy yourself.”

The person involved is unwilling to discuss in detail, and of course Shi Er will not continue to ask.At the beginning, he doubted whether the inn opened by the conjurer could guarantee a sufficient standard. After the dinner was served by the little paper people, this worry completely disappeared.The tempura batter was fried crispy, the butterbur soup exuded bursts of heat, and the freshly made grilled fish and senbei were also just right. Obviously, although these little guys are "not good at fighting", they are very effective at doing housework group.

Such a store, even if it does not show the power of a conjurer in front of ordinary people, can make a lot of money if it is opened near a tourist attraction.

The conjurer was more or less abnormal, and Shi Er gave up the idea of ​​studying it carefully. Although he didn't work much at ordinary times, he still decided to enjoy this vacation.Steam rose from the traditional stone hot springs, but he froze after taking a single step forward.

This is too much, he looked at the only hot spring pool in front of him and thought, is this the most popular plot in comics today?So what is he now?After working hard for the first half of his life, the protagonist who finally got the system's hidden rewards?The protagonist without any skills, this work does not sound very popular... All kinds of complaints are flying in the brain, Shi Er can't help but cover his face, he has watched so many with Lin Zongzong in these years comics.

... No, they seem to be in a serious married relationship now, which is normal operation.

Calm down, ordinary couples will not fall into chaos at this time, and they must not lose face in front of that person.Shi Er took a deep breath, took the curse spirit off his neck, hung it on the clothes drying pole next to him, and put the mobile phone in the bamboo basket prepared in the dressing room.

It's really hard to imagine that the screen of a mobile phone in the future will be as big as the palm of your hand... He thought as he looked at the tablet phone in the bamboo basket.

The screen is so big, and it must be portable. Where should the keyboard with the buttons be installed?
