At that moment, Alan felt that he was in love.

Chapter 8 A Few Things About the Trip to London

"Romani, we're here." Alan gently rocked the sleeping Romani. Since that night, some subtle changes had taken place in the relationship between the two, but they both very much synchronized and did not talk about this aspect.

"Oh, I see. Really, how could it be so fast?" The sleepy Romani looked resentful and dissatisfied. "You know I get grumpy when I wake up."

"Okay, it's my fault. So Romani, we should get off the plane now."

"Thank you for helping us take down the suitcases, Mr. Pepe." Allen thanked the Scandinavian Pepeloncino whom he met on this flight.

"No, no, no, I feel lucky to know someone like you, Alan. You know, it's very rare to meet someone who gets along well with you during a long journey." Pepe, who is straightforward and humorous, didn't mind this little thing at all. "If you have the opportunity to travel to Italy, I think I can help you. This is my business card."

"Excuse me, Mr. Pepe, why did you come to London?"

"A person I met while traveling a few years ago asked me to come to London to discuss the matter, so I came. It's that simple."

"Then I wish you good luck, Brother Alan." After getting off the plane, Pepe waved goodbye to us, then got into a unique British old-fashioned taxi and disappeared from our sight.

"Hey, Alan, if you meet him next time, stay away from this guy." Romani looked at the two vintage cars going away, his eyes filled with rare seriousness.

"That person is a magician, and not just an ordinary magician. His ability is enough to become a Master in the Holy Grail War, and one of the top ones."

Seeing his doctor's rare serious expression, Allen felt warm in his heart. "I know, Romani, don't let this little episode ruin your mood for the day."

Well, Romani, I wonder what would happen if you knew you would meet him in Chaldea a few years later.

"TAXI~" Alan called a taxi. "To Hyde Park." He turned around and explained to Romani. "I booked a double room at the Hilton Hotel in Hyde Park, and the transportation in Hyde Park is also very convenient."

"Anyway, Welcome to London, Romani Archaman."

After checking in, Alan walked with Romani, who looked curious, along Park Lane. The sky after the rain was clear and bright, and seemed particularly high. A rainbow appeared in the sky of London, which was rare.

"This is the rainbow over London, Romani. It should be T2 in terms of rarity." Looking at the rainbow across the sky, Romani, who has lived in Chaldea for a long time after becoming a human, was excited. Seeing is believing, and what you see online is different from what you see in person.

"Today we are in Hyde Park right after we got off the plane. Tomorrow we will go to St. Paul's Cathedral and Buckingham Palace. The day after tomorrow we will go to Big Ben and the British Museum. The day after that we will go to Tower Bridge and Westminster Abbey. On the last day we can just wander around the streets of London. By the way, tomorrow night we can go to Stamford Bridge in Fulham to watch the match between Arsenal and Chelsea. It's a pity that it's already January, otherwise we could go to the real king of London - Crystal Palace in December."

"What does the Crystal Palace in December mean?" Romani, who knew nothing about this, was curious.

"Crystal Palace in December, Strasbourg in the snow, England before the World Cup, and Arsenal on the road to the top four are known as the four strongest teams in football."

"Let's discuss the itinerary..."

While planning their trip to London, the two of them strolled along the Serpentine Lake, looking at the scenery of the lake in winter, with their beautiful partner by their side. They only hoped that time could stay at this moment forever - which was impossible.

"Hello, both of you. Excuse me, have you seen a girl around 16 years old?" The man with long golden hair and a white shawl asked us about the person he was looking for.

"I'm sorry, we just arrived in London and didn't see the person you mentioned."

"Excuse me, I hope you have fun in London." The man was a little disappointed that he didn't get the news he wanted, but as a British gentleman, he still politely offered his blessings.

Of course, it would be better if he didn't come to Chaldea later. Allen looked at the figure of the man walking away - Kirshtalia Vodem, the leader of the seven members of Team A among the 48 future Master candidates of Chaldea.

"Are all magicians so common? Romani?" Alan was a little confused when he met two members of Group A just after arriving in London.

"This is London, the headquarters of the Magic Association. This is not normal." Romani covered his face with one hand and couldn't bear to look directly at it. "Do you still remember how much you remembered when you were looking through the files with me?"

"I have forgotten most of it."

"I'll let you off this time, my dear tour guide. Lead the team. This is just a 'small' punishment."

8:00 PM

The two people who walked out of the Speaker's Corner began to look for a place to have dinner under the guidance of human needs. It turned out to be a very unwise choice.

"I told you that we'll solve it when we get back to the hotel, why don't you believe me?"

"I...I just wanted to try British food." Romani, full of regret, tried to pay for his irrational behavior.

"Don't I know what British food is? There are only three types. Fish, Chip, and Fish and Chip. Some people actually have fantasies about British food..."

"Ahhhh, let's go to France quickly. I can't stand it if this goes on! Ugh—" Romani held onto a trash can on the side of the road and started vomiting again.

"You brought this upon yourself, Romani." Alan helplessly looked at Romani who was madly dumping garbage into the trash can. At such a young age, he actually wanted to taste British "delicacies" and even ordered the unspeakable thing - looking up at the stars.

Then it became what we see now.

"You'll probably be a bad example for Pasha London School if you keep doing this." Allen gently stroked Romani's back, hoping to make the woman in his arms feel better. "I'm pretty resistant, but you came up with a big move and I couldn't handle it..."

"Hold on tight, Romani."

"Eh?"

Romani's brain froze for a moment, and when he came to his senses he found himself on Allen's back.

"So don't be so stubborn. If you do this, I will have to clean up the mess for you. I will ask them to make you something you like when we get back to the hotel. You must be very tired from the flight. Go to bed early after eating."

On the streets of London's main city at night, a man was carrying a woman on his back. Although the noise outside was very noisy, in Romani's eyes, there was only himself and Alan who was carrying him.

She leaned her face against Alan's back, feeling the remaining warmth of the winter. When did she start to get used to being with Alan? Was it the afternoon of Christmas Eve? Or that day in the archives? Or was it the friendship that developed from eating and working together?

Or, the day when I knocked on his door?

I have unknowingly gotten used to spending time with him.

There is a secret that Romani has never told.

She, the Minister of Medicine and Chief Physician of Chaldea, had a strange feeling for this boy who was only 19. This feeling was something she had never had when she was the king, and after three months, Romani herself still didn't know what it was.

"We still have plenty of time before that. So Alan, as my number one test subject, please help me know what this is." She thought so, believing that she would know the answer one day.

"I-don't-want! I haven't watched Magical Girls today yet."

"Which one are you watching this time?"

"Hmm...I think her name is Teriri?"

"What's going on!" Allen was a little upset when he heard the answer on his back. Isn't this what a certain transmitter likes to watch the most? If this continues, he will probably have to play Howl's Adventure every day?

"Ah, Alan, you're too slow. It's about to start. Hurry up, hurry up."

"Ahhh, what on earth did I do to deserve to meet you?"

On the streets of London at night, a couple attracted the attention of many passers-by. The girl on the boy's back and the boy carrying her on his back were smiling happily. Passers-by looked at the loving couple and sent them their blessings.

On the other side of the street, a girl who had run away from home because of a bad temper looked at the scene opposite with an envious expression.

"I also want to fall in love, but why do I come from a family of magic?" The silver-haired girl's red stockings are particularly bright at night, but the people wearing them are very envious of the feelings of ordinary people.

11:00 PMHilton London Hyde Park Hotel

After Romani fell asleep, Alan went to the vending machine on the first floor. The Marlboro that used to cost him three weeks of money was no longer worth mentioning to him now. He bought a pack of Dunhill and went to the restaurant, where he ordered fish and chips and a cup of Darjeeling tea. When everything was ready, Alan was about to write his diary when a crisp voice interrupted his next action.

"Hi, I have some questions for you, can I take up some of your time?"

Alan looked at the white-haired girl in front of him and smiled knowingly.

"Please, Lady, you can call me Alan."

"My name is Olga Marie, just call me Marie."

This was the first meeting between Allen and his future boss.

Thanks to the recommendations from the Hades Wolf in the Wandering Sea, the Back of the Grandpa of Chaos Evil, the Chaos Good Passing By, DEN-O, and Name Doesn’t Matter.

The scheduled sending was wrong...

Chapter 9: One-day trip to the Magic Association

"So, your father loves you. Just as you said, he always comes back on important holidays and your birthday, doesn't he?" Looking at the young director in front of him, Alan now guides the lost girl from a magic family like a life mentor.

"As for love and such...it's hard for me to give you any advice since I've never had one." Alan answered the question slightly embarrassedly.

"Ding————" the sound of Big Ben chiming echoes throughout London at night.

"Sorry, I have to go back. I hope this conversation can be of some help to you, Mary. Cherish everything you have now so that you won't regret it when you lose it."

"What do you mean you've never been in love? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have been deceived." After Olga Marie watched Alan's figure disappear from her sight, she began to think about his last words before he left.

"Don't regret it..."

......

"Ah~ It's still more enjoyable to eat in a hotel." Romani, who had just returned from Buckingham Palace, looked at the sumptuous French meal in front of him, picked up the knife and fork in his hand and started waving them.

"Slow down, slow down. Some of it is for you to eat. Anyway, if you hadn't experienced it yourself yesterday, I don't think you would have come here with me obediently today."

As soon as Allen said this, Romani choked and couldn't help but glared at him. After being glared at, Allen was in a good mood. He smiled and took a sip of the whiskey beside him.

"Would you like a glass of Glenfiddich Scotch malt whisky?" Alan gestured to his partner. "I used to only drink whisky like Glen Moray, but everything changed after that summer."

"It tastes good. How do you know so much, Alan?"

"The preparations before the trip, and you don't even think about where you abducted me to Chaldea from." Allen looked at Romani helplessly.

"Apart from that topic, where are we going tomorrow?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday when we arrived? Big Ben and the British Museum?" Alan looked at Romani in amazement. How forgetful is he? You are the typical smart guy who is smart about big things but confused about small things, right?

"You can't go tomorrow!" Romani, who was always gentle, became serious. "No matter what, you can't go tomorrow!"

"What's wrong? Why are you reacting so suddenly?" Allen looked at Romani with a puzzled look on his face. "If it was just because that was the headquarters of the Magic Association, I would have known it before you said it."

"That's why I can't go." Romani lowered his voice. His reaction just now had disturbed other people who were dining. He also saw clearly the waiter's begging just now.

"Romani, have you spent too much time in Chaldea? I'm an ordinary person, not a magician." Alan could hardly keep up with the jumping thoughts of this doctor from Chaldea.

"And there is you, my dear Romani Achman."

"Hurry up and finish eating so we can go watch the game!" Romani lowered his eyes slightly, his cheeks flushed.

"Hi, my doctor."

The next morning 10:32 AM

Alan and Romani stood in Great Russell Square, looking at the headquarters of the Magic Association in front of them. Alan gently held Romani's hand beside him. "Come on, let's go up there for a walk."

"The tool that humans use to spy on other worlds is the mirror. Although the scenes in the mirror are not real, they can be regarded as echoing the real you. Many ancient nations regarded mirrors as gods, which echoes this point." An unknown male voice was heard behind Alan.

"Is it extracurricular teaching? It feels a bit like Socrates." Alan turned around and saw a face that had been working overtime for many years.

Isn't this some Zhuge villager who died from overwork and worked overtime every day... No, Weber Wilster?

Look, he is almost 30 years old, but still in good health.jpg

"One can't help but sigh that this is the great Big Ben, London Star teacher!" The energetic young man responded.

"It's Lord El-Melloi II. You didn't say a word correctly."

"As long as it echoes the essence, it's fine."

The man in the suit sighed helplessly. "Flat Escaldes, do you know what it is called to try to change the essence of an object by arbitrarily changing its name?"

"It's a curse!"

"Sven Gurashet, explain it in Flat's way." The long-haired man in a black suit gestured to the student on his right to answer, or it would be more appropriate to say correct.

The young man with golden curly hair replied slowly: "Flat's way of repeatedly giving the teacher strange nicknames is to prove that you and the name correspond to the existence. In other words, he wants to regard the teacher as a greater existence." Hearing this, Flat nodded with satisfaction.

"But this is just to match the size of his brain." Sifen added the knife slowly.

"Hey, Sfin, what do you mean?"

"Yes, my essence has not changed much, but is the me in the mirror necessarily the real me? In other words, by interfering with the mirror, its essence can be changed. This is the essence of the curse. When magic develops to a certain level, it can transform this world, which is just a shadow of its root, into a technology."

"As expected of the absolute domain magician professor!"

"Don't call me by those titles!"

"It's a respectful title, teacher."

"That's even worse!"

"Mr. Flatt, the teacher is in trouble right now." The silver-haired girl in a gray sweatshirt interrupted the conversation in time.

"Well, the fourth most popular and most wanted-to-be-cuddled man in the Clock Tower is ok, right?" Flatt whispered to Sfin beside him.

"Although you didn't do anything on purpose, it feels worse. Ah, Gray-chan is so cute." Sifen's true nature was revealed in front of his bad friend.

"It's Le Chien, it can always do things we can't do."

"It's Lou Xian, not a dog!"

Watching the group of people going away, Alan, who had been watching the whole process, was convinced of his choice. "It was right to come here today, Romani."
