[Comprehensive] BE saves the world

afternoon tea one day.

Although there is a saying that "British people drink tea seven times a day", the magician in the clock tower does not actually have such leisure.

Maybe some great people--certainly, some aristocratic magicians--have such leisure time... no, I mean elegant style, but for most magicians, drinking tea three times a day is enough. Very relaxed state.

However, El-Melloi II was not actually one of these people.

Even in the Clock Tower, El-Melloi II was an exceptionally busy type of person.

After all, unlike the big bosses (rich people) who have property, servants, and familiars, El-Melloi II is a poor ghost with a lot of debt... No, I mean a busy first-level lecturer and (even the familiar) Can’t even do well) A hard-working third-rate magician.

Not only do the lecture notes of each course, but also publish your own academic papers, and at the same time, you must also pay attention to the research direction and academic progress of the students, and be ready to devote yourself to the modern magic (hodgepodge) subject that actually includes all the directions of magic. And then.

To put it in a low voice, I sincerely believe that, unlike Leticia who summoned Joan of Arc by her face, El-Melloi II was summoned to Zhuge Kongming by dying from overwork (crossed out).

Let alone afternoon tea.When this person is busy, he lives on coffee. I often suspect that the reason why he is addicted to the coffee shop on the corner is not that the food is delicious, but that the caffeine in the coffee is strong enough to support his life.

At the end of each term, there is a double hell for teachers and students, and the hell for teachers may be more miserable.After all, the pain of the students is only in the moment of facing the papers, while the hell of the teachers lies in the more than one day when they face the whole stack of papers.

Every time it came to the middle and end of the term, it was the time when El-Melloi II wished to drown himself in the sea of ​​coffee.

Although it is interesting to watch him wanting to drink coffee like water every day... But, after all, drinking too much coffee is not good.

"Um...Excuse me, what asked me to come out...?"

The girl in gray tugged on her hood and asked me a little uneasily.

"Ah, you are here to accompany me shopping."

I patted her on the shoulder and whispered the real reason.

"I'm afraid to go shopping alone... It would be the most convenient if I can shop online, but unfortunately the Internet has not advanced enough to be able to shop online with confidence..."

I slumped my shoulders and let out a long sigh.

I miss ○Bao and ○Mazon so much... The era of online shopping where you can freely shop online and deliver goods to your door almost does not require any face-to-face communication is really a boon for dead houses and social terror.Damn it, why haven't we entered the information era of globalization yet?I really hate...why can't people live after 2010! ! !

...Forget it, let's be content not to be thrown to London before the Fourth Holy Grail War.

I sighed deeply again, thinking of a certain period of happiness that was short-lived.

"Is that so... Although I don't quite understand... But, I can help, right?" The girl in gray showed a shy smile, "Well, what are we going to buy?"

"Eating too much coffee is not good for your health. And the teacher, he actually likes to add a lot of sugar to coffee unexpectedly. If this continues, coffee addiction is still a small problem. If the sugar intake is too much, it will be when you get old□□ Annoying."

I rested my chin on one hand, lost in thoughts.

Gray beside me showed a ignorant expression, as if she was convinced by my theory, she timidly raised the only question.

"Well, magicians, do you get diabetes too?"

"I'll get it." I thought about it for a while, and my tone suddenly became decisive, "Yes, I'll get it—after all, the magic engraving and magic circuit can't lower blood sugar, especially the teacher's milk volume is so small—cough , I mean, the teacher's healing magic level is average, and he certainly can't solve such intractable diseases as diabetes."

Grey, who knows nothing about modern medicine, Magic Xiaobai: "...It seems, that's it."

As a result, the grey-clothed girl's face also became worried.I held up a finger, triumphantly throwing out the conclusion.

"So, I thought of the best way, a wonderful way to solve the teacher's coffee addiction problem and save his blood sugar—"

Gray poked his head out from under the hood, looking at me with bright green eyes, as if urging me to give an answer quickly.

"That's black tea instead of coffee!" I crossed my arms and said proudly, "I have obtained the best black tea shop in London and the best type of black tea in the shop through reliable channels! There are also high-end black tea required for making black tea." The location of the tea utensils! And I have already made a list! Everything is ready and I just need to buy it!"

"It's amazing..." Gray clapped subconsciously, and his expression was a little confused, "But... what else do I need to do...?"

"That..." My eyes wandered for a while, "I, that... need you to help me pay the bill..."

Gray showed an unexpected expression, her lovely lips parted slightly: "Ah...but..."

"If you want to pay, just swipe my card! Please, that... I'm afraid of talking to strangers..."

I clasped my hands together and whispered please.

Gray's mouth opened: "But..."

She probably wanted to talk about my behavior when we met for the first time, I scratched my head in distress, my eyes wandered from side to side, but I didn't dare to look at her face, and I argued for myself in a low voice.

"Just, when I first came here, it was a broken jar... My brain was not normal at that time... Anyway, I just... Forget it! Forget it quickly! Uhhhhhhh..."

Seeing that I covered my face with my hands as if I was about to be killed by my dark history, Gray panicked and expressed her true thoughts.

"No, that, I want to ask, why don't you find Lai, Miss Yvette or Miss Luvia...Well, I mean, they are more suitable for shopping than me, right?"

As if thinking that Reynice's temperament would certainly not help me, Gray hurriedly put forward two other candidates.Indeed, in terms of relationship, I seem to be a little closer to those two.

"But, Gray will help me, right?" I grabbed the girl's hands and looked at her cautiously, "...Please?"

Although Yvette and Luvia definitely have an advantage in bargaining...but they are actually the type that I am not good at dealing with.I always feel that if I really ask the two of them, I will definitely be slapped (squeezed) by the former with this favor, and even if the latter helps me, I will definitely ridicule me from head to toe first.

There is little Angel Gray in front of you!You're stupid to find a witch! ! !

"Okay, okay." The girl in gray opened her eyes wide in surprise, then lowered her face shyly, "I...I will help."

"Great!" I took her hand, swung the other arm high with enthusiasm, and made a charge gesture, "Go to the shopping street——"

........................

Having said that, the moment I entered the store and was greeted by the clerk... I wilted.I took a step back silently, grabbed the arm of the girl in gray clothes, and tried to hide behind her as quietly as possible. My eyes fell on the shelf beside me, avoiding the eye contact with the shop assistant.And my social fear good sister, Gray showed the courage and loyalty like an angel... first handed out my shopping list, and said "please help me get the things on this list" for me That sentence.

In my heart, I silently have +50 favorability with Grey.

...Anyway, thanks to Grey, we finally got all the black tea and tea sets.As soon as I got out of the store, I came alive and breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that the hand holding Grey was soaked in sweat.

To be precise, it was drenched with the sweat of the two of us.

"Thank you so much, Grey." I shook her hand, "Well, can you stay with me again? I want you to help me try the black tea I made. Of course, the snacks for afternoon tea I'll order takeaway from the most famous dessert shop nearby."

"Huh?" Gray blinked in surprise, "Is it okay?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "Anyway, I can't taste the tea now, and I can't smell the tea. So I really need help."

Gray blinked: "Do you have a cold?"

"Well...the situation is more complicated, so you can just treat it like that." I smiled at her, "Help me."

"Ah... I understand." Gray nodded slightly, "Do you want to surprise the teacher... Master should be happy."

"Hey..." I could hear some ambiguity in her tone, and I scratched my face subconsciously, "That, is it obvious?"

"Before... that... I'm sorry... I didn't peek on purpose..." Gray's voice trailed off, "During the celebration party that day... I accidentally saw it..."

My face turned red all of a sudden, and it took me a long time to find my tongue.

"I, I thought it was exposed the day we held hands..."

Gray also blushed and looked away.

"Actually, that day also..."

"No, don't go on. Some things are better not known."

In order not to let my shame take me to the road and crush me three and a half meters under the truck wheels, I interrupted the reveal in time.Take Gray to the direction of the school.

After a while, a thin voice came from behind me.

"Miss Rebecca... really likes Teacher."

I froze for a moment, then put my hands behind my back and breathed out in the cold wind of London winter.

"He, although he often dreams, is not a dreamlike person."

The white mist dissipated before my eyes, I turned around and smiled slightly at the girl.

"He will let me see beautiful dreams, but he won't let me live in them all the time. I just like his kind of place."

A place that is both gentle and cruel.

"Although I don't quite understand it, Master and Miss Rebecca are very happy, right?"

Gray also smiled slightly, as if she was happy and satisfied with her own affairs, a beautiful smile appeared on her lovely face.

"That would be nice."

"Yeah." I looked up, "That's enough."

In the cold winter wind, I shrank my shoulders slightly, and then grabbed Grey's hand.

"Okay, I'm going to run!" I stomped my feet, "Sure enough, I should wear two more clothes when I go out... How did Ari do such a difficult thing as stepping on the sea with bare feet in winter! I'm going to freeze to death! Let's run! Go home early and make some hot tea!"

"Good, good!"

--Incidentally.

The so-called "black tea, not coffee" campaign failed.

"When I don't need to stay up late, I drink black tea."

El-Melloi II took the black tea from me and rubbed his forehead at the snacks on the table.

"Besides... you say you want to reduce the sugar content, isn't it putting the cart before the horse when you make so many snacks?"

... You are right! ! !

Recalling the sugar added to the cake and bread, I immediately covered my face with my hands.

"Thank you anyway."

The man's awkward voice came from the side, and I forgot, only to see him subconsciously look away.

"...the black tea is delicious."

He said.
