I will never give in to Miss Death

Yin Xiamo sat up, jumped into the air, and then landed on one of the four-leaf clovers with a "whoosh": "You have been using this thing for several minutes. How does it feel?"

"Very...very uncomfortable!"

The sudden jolt almost made me lose my balance. After I stabilized the magic circle, I asked curiously, "Is this thing an ordinary magic that everyone in the other world has? Do people usually fly in the sky?"

Originally, I thought that operating this kind of magic circle was very complicated, as I had to consider the height and drive it forward and backward, and I didn't know how to operate it. However, when I really summoned it out, I realized that it was like adding something like an "organ" to my body.

Just like we humans don’t have tails, we can’t imagine how to move it if we have an extra thing at the back. But if we suddenly get an extra tail one day, we can move it “without any instruction”, which is similar to the feeling.

Now this magic circle summoned by me is like a part of my body. I can control it to rise, fall, move forward, and flip at will. And controlling its movement requires consuming the "energy in the body" that Xiaomo mentioned before, which should be the magic power.

With my current magic power, it is not a problem for me to keep flying in the sky with Xiaomo and myself for about half an hour, provided that we continue at the current speed. If we go any faster, the energy will be consumed very quickly.

"Not really. Generally, only magicians and above can use it. Dolly and Yueyue are not old enough to learn it yet."

Xiaomo jumped onto the leaf in front of my feet, grabbed my ankles, asked me to spread my legs, and sat on the leaf herself: "Nuo'er, you are special."

"But I always feel that this magic circle is a bit too powerful. Even a novice like me can summon it, and it is so convenient to use..."

"A truly powerful magician can summon this thing to fly at speeds several times faster than the speed of sound, and it can directly crash a mountain, just like an F1 car on a racetrack. Yours is at best a children's toy car, Nuo'er. Children are very happy sitting in it and feeling like they are the best race car driver in the world."

The girl in front turned around and said, "But... I really like Nuo'er's innocence."

How does this have anything to do with "innocence"?

I puffed up my cheeks and said, "Can I still use it in the future?"

"all right."

Yin Xiamo said calmly, "Eat on time, rest on time, and use it after you have recovered some magic power. Enuo'er, with your current consumption, you shouldn't be unable to summon even the Mobius Circle."

"What if I can't remember the order or write the runes wrong?"

I asked tentatively, "Is something terrible going to happen?"

"meeting."

"Don't take it for granted that such an unsettling answer is given!"

"If a great magician uses magic recklessly, it will happen."

Maybe she really liked seeing my panicked expression, Yin Xiamo finally laughed: "But Nuo'er has almost no destructive power. At most, if you draw the wrong spell, you will grow cat ears, or have a few more mushrooms around you."

Why is it getting more and more scary...

"Are there any scholars in the other world who specialize in this kind of research?"

"There are so many, almost everywhere, just like the scientists here, but the work of scientists in this world is very hard, and not everyone is qualified to be one. Magic scholars are relatively common. Otherwise, Noer, what do you think people in the other world do every day?"

The girl said in a tone of "you little fool", "They can't cook, they can't develop technology, and they have very little culture and art, because they are all studying magic and fighting wars everywhere. There will always be a big gap in magic. If a scholar develops a new type of magic that is basically the same as winning the lottery on Earth, the royal family will reward this scholar handsomely, and even if it is not a groundbreaking super magic, even if this magic only turns a 'small flame' into a 'medium flame', it will be enough to make a lifetime of wealth."

Is that why the Möbius magician who made the levitation magic "Möbius Circle" public is so respected?

"Isn't it said that magic has existed for tens of thousands of years?"

"Magic has existed since time immemorial, among the elves and dragons for hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions of years. However, due to the randomness and uncertainty of magic, it is almost a road that will never have a conclusion."

I was silent for a moment: "I... don't quite understand."

"Let me explain it using some theorems here."

Xiaomo thought for a moment and said, "Like I mentioned earlier, there is a formula for the earth's gravity. Scientists have discovered that such a thing exists and have figured out the gravity formula through various experiments. This formula will never change. For example, one kilogram of steel weighs one kilogram when put on the scale, and one kilogram of cotton weighs one kilogram as well. But it's different over here. It should weigh one kilogram of cotton, but sometimes it weighs 0.98 kilograms on the scale, and sometimes it weighs 1.01 kilograms."

"The magician developed the 'Small Fireball'. According to the rune 'Fireball', a fireball can be sent out. Logically, if the 'big' phrase in the rune is found, a 'big fireball' can be sent out, right? But the 'big fireball' rune really can't generate a big fireball. Sometimes a pile of fire will come out and ignite itself, and sometimes even a piece of magma will emerge. The random variables in it are very terrifying. Even with the dragon race's advanced age of tens of thousands of years, it is not necessarily possible to thoroughly study any branch of magic."

With this explanation, I think I understand.

It's like the technology in another world has been locked down by "intelligent particles" similar to those in the science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem", making all the parameters and values ​​a mess. People can only know the general method of using magic, but cannot be sure of the specific parameters.

“We’re almost downtown.”

While chatting with Xiaomo in the air, I looked at the map instructions on my phone. Half an hour later, we arrived at a small square in the central area.

"Noel."

At this time, Xiaomo suddenly called my name.

I turned around: "Huh?"

Xiaomo pointed to the Mobius circle under her and said, "Take this away."

"Don't you need to go down and turn it off?"

"No need, it's right here."

I hesitated for a moment and then followed Xiaomo's instructions.

The next second, the magic circle disappeared, and I fell from a height of several thousand meters.

"Honey, here I come!"

As we were falling, Xiaomo used some special magic, and she teleported in front of me and held me tightly in her arms.

In the falling world, I felt my lips were blocked.

"I've always wanted to try kissing Nuoer like this."

Xiaomo's gentle voice came to my ears.

"You got what you wanted today, my little princess."

"..."

……

No, can 333 live in your heart?

In a dimly lit area near Chaoyang Square in the Chuo District of Kamihama City, Xiaomo held me in her arms and dropped me from the sky, landing on the roof of a tall building.

This is another not-so-famous small square in the central district, but it has a very long history. Many of the shops are twenty or thirty years old. The variety of shops here is also very complete, ranging from street stalls selling barbecue and groceries to more upscale KFC and Starbucks.

It feels like almost every larger city has places like "Chaoyang Square" and "People's Square", which are places that everyone likes to go to in their spare time, and I am no exception.

My university life...can't actually be said to be smooth sailing, it can even be said to be very tortuous.

It's like this for children without parents. After entering college, they are basically separated from the welfare home and become independent. They need to apply for student loans and work part-time to pay for their studies. They are busy every day and cannot chat and play with their roommates. They cannot establish relationships with their roommates. These are not so bad. The most fatal thing is that such a life can easily lead to a lack of information in college, which can then cause a lot of trouble.

For example, when I was in college, the teacher of one of our classes was said to have a very high status. He seemed to be the principal of another private school, and came here to be a professor to earn extra money. The class time often needed to be adjusted. Sometimes everyone got up early in the morning to prepare for class, but then a notice was sent in the group saying that they didn’t have to go and the class was moved to the afternoon. The class monitor was also very responsible and went to each dormitory to notify the adjusted arrangements, but because I was not often in the dormitory and was busy with work and rarely checked messages on my phone, I was often late or absent because of this class adjustment. In the end, I didn’t have enough points for the usual class, and I had to apply to the school to retake the course.

I still remember that at the end of my sophomore year, the condition of a friend of mine who had been on good terms with me in middle school in the welfare home worsened and he could not hold on any longer. The situation was very urgent and the hospital asked me to hurry over or the patient would not hold on for long. I thought it was too urgent, so I called the counselor directly to explain the situation and said I wanted to go to the funeral. The counselor agreed. As a result, I went to the hospital to see my friend for the last time, and went back to the welfare home to say goodbye to my deceased friend with the director and staff. It was almost three days, and when I returned to school, I was told: Because you have been absent from school for three consecutive days, you need to retake two courses, and you will also be punished.

When I asked the counselor, he asked me why I only called him to ask for leave instead of writing a note. He blamed me for not following the procedure and kept passing the buck. I had no way to defend myself because there was no recording. It was not until almost a year after graduation that the school's Academic Affairs Office cancelled the punishment after I went back to the school repeatedly.

There are many similar situations.

If you live alone...it's pretty much like this.

Independence requires strength.

But now I think it’s not a bad thing that I didn’t leave a deep impression on everyone during my college years.

Because...Yin Shiren is already dead.

On the rooftop of the building with the words "Yunlai Hotel" hanging on it, I glanced at the girl next to me who was flapping her skirt.

Xiaomo wore that black dress today with a black rose hairpin on her head, paired with a pair of small round-toed Lolita thick-heeled shoes, looking very queen-like overall.

"Isn't there any stairs going down here?"

The small shoes with high heels "clicked" on the roof for a while, and Xiaomo asked curiously: "Is it fully enclosed?"

"Hotels are usually like this. The roof needs to be opened from below by special maintenance workers."

I walked to the corner of the roof and took a look at the people coming and going below.

So high...

This building must have at least twenty floors, and is half the height of Minami Nagi Tower.

There is no staircase to reach the roof, which means there is no need for a guardrail. There is no shelter around the roof, it is completely bare. It feels like if someone who is afraid of heights stands on the edge of the roof, he may fall down accidentally.

Moreover, because this is a downtown area, unlike Minami-Nagi Tower which is surrounded by sea and forest, when I look down from my side, the entire street is full of people, which feels particularly spectacular.

It is now past nine o'clock in the evening, the time when most people in Kamihama City have just finished their meals and go out for a walk or play, and it is also the time when some young couples go out to play. Dolly and Yueyue will probably take about an hour to get home.

During this period of time, there are a lot of people near Chaoyang Square.

"Why did you think of bringing me here?"

After checking around the rooftop for a while, Xiaomo gave up going downstairs and came to my side, hugging me from behind: "Do you have any familiar memories here?"

"Ah."

I nodded and pointed to the entrance of a pedestrian street not far away: "Next to the intersection over there, there is a barbecue restaurant that has been open for more than 30 years. The fried chicken legs, lamb skewers, and beef there are especially delicious."

It's probably... the type that uses a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. I've never eaten fried chicken legs with this flavor in other restaurants.

"Besides that, I remember there should be another restaurant here that specializes in seafood dishes. I went there a long time ago. The fish there was really good and very cheap. They had pickled fish, three-fresh fish noodles, and... there was also a soup made with sliced ​​fish, served with rice and a kind of vegetable. I don't remember what the set meal was called."

My birthday is December 12th every year, which happens to be Christmas Eve, and the next day is Christmas.

So almost no one will remember my birthday. Even if they do, they will just say "Happy Birthday" and then run out to buy apples to celebrate Christmas Eve.

The saddest period of my college life happened to be around my birthday - my best friend passed away, and I was punished by the school for going back to attend the funeral. The counselor didn't know anything when I asked him anything. He said the student union had recorded it and asked me to go to the student union. I went to the student union and they said the subject teacher had recorded it and asked me to go to the class monitor. The class monitor said they had not recorded my absence and asked me to go find the counselor myself. I went around in circles for a few days and couldn't find anyone who could help me. That night, when I went to work in a store, a thief stole my cell phone. After I called the police, the police asked me to go to the police station to report it. So on December 12, I went to the police station near Chaoyang Square in the Central District. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening after I reported the case. I thought I would be locked out if I went back to school, so I had to choose to spend the night in a nearby Internet cafe.

It was at that time that I was in a bad mood and wandered around Chaoyang Square alone. I ate chicken legs and barbecue at the entrance of the pedestrian street, and also went to a nearby restaurant specializing in "sauerkraut fish" to eat fish.

Big city, cold, but the chicken and fish that night were very delicious.

"Xiao Mo, let me try to use that magic again. Can you help me see if there is anything wrong with it?"

Seeing that Xiaomo behind me didn't say anything, I raised my hand and began to gather the "energy" in my body to the open space in front according to the magic runes I had just memorized.

"Small, magic control, talent adaptation, small load-bearing..."

One after another, faintly glowing magic runes began to rotate and flash in the open space before their eyes.

By the way...should we add the magic rune "Cat Ears"?

When I wrote "cat ears" according to the magic that Xiaomo had just taught me, I paused and looked at the girl behind me.

Xiaomo didn't say anything, just nodded and motioned me to continue.

Well... let's add it.

I feel that this is similar to a programmer writing a program. Some codes may look incomprehensible or have a lot of bugs, but without those codes and bugs, it really won’t work.

The pigeon flaps its wings and flies up, and the pigeon's head spins wildly, turning into a helicopter. Anyway, it's flying, and as long as the program can run, it doesn't matter whether it has a bug or not.

So… as for the four-leaf clover magic circle just now, although I don’t know what role the “cat ears” rune played in it, I still added the “cat ears” rune because I was worried that it might not be able to run without the cat ears.

"Finish!"

A few minutes later, under Xiaomo's gaze, I actually made the "Mobius circle".

However, this time my "Mobius circle" is no longer a four-leaf clover, but... a big cat's paw?

The cat's paw pads are green and white, and the radius is also about 50 centimeters, which is very fresh and cute in style.

Wow, this is really a completely random novice magic...

"Sure enough, I knew that Nuo'er's body contained more than just the life and natural attributes of the elves."

Seeing me summon a translucent cat paw, Xiao Mo nodded thoughtfully: "I guess I'll let you try adding runes like 'little devil' or 'devil's tail' next time?"

"Hey, I heard everything!"

I dispersed the magic circle with a "poof" sound, walked over and took Xiaomo's hand: "Don't just stand there, didn't you say you were hungry?"

"Well……"

Xiaomo was stunned by my sudden hand holding.

Under the moonlight, someone's face seemed to turn slightly red.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Xiaomo came to her senses, pulled me over, and then with a skilled princess jump, she jumped directly from the roof of the tall building.

"Wait...wait, there are so many people down there..."

"Don't worry, I will find a completely blind spot with no sight and surveillance, where no one will notice."
