"That's it for today's lesson."
"Thank you, Mr. Jeri."
In the haze, the soft female voice said this, and the numbers on Blackboard slowly became blurred.
Sherry woke up.
Sherry first heard the unique noise on Train, and then felt the rhythmic vibration of the bed under her body, which almost made Sherry fall asleep again, but she struggled to open her eyes, stared at the scenery flying past outside the window and ruminated on the contents of her dream for a while, then took out the final exam paper from her suitcase, and corrected the math questions she had not understood before.
Mrs. Reiche walked into Sherry's carriage and happened to see this scene, and immediately felt heartbroken.
"Baby, stop doing the questions! Since we are traveling during the holidays, we should forget about the trouble," she said.
Sherry said strangely, "You didn't say that before."
You know, just half a month ago, her mother was eager to sign her up for three more cram schools and would sit in front of her desk whenever she was awake, but now she actually advised her to take a rest.
"Were you studying before?" You could tell at a glance whether you were studying seriously when you were sitting at the table.
Mrs. Reiche On the contrary, I feel that my daughter has been possessed by evil spirits for the past half month.
She looked at her daughter's test paper worriedly. "When did you like math so much?"
But then she sighed, "Science is enlightened. It would be great if liberal arts can also enlighten me."
If this is a case of evil, it is best to maintain the evil state until six years next year, until the exam is City of Academies Kagefen Fashion Academy.
Sherry rolled his eyes at his mother.
"Do you think I don't want to?" The problem is that the Magical Girl class in the dream does not include liberal arts!
Sherry thought sadly.
She started dreaming about it half a month ago after receiving the wand from her uncle from Cecilia.
At that time, Sherry was obsessed with <Magical Girl☆Maya> Movie (although now the obsession has increased), crazy I have collected all the peripherals related to Movie, hoping that I can be as beautiful and powerful as Magical Girl to solve troubles, but the most important prop "Magical Girl" Transformation Wand" is not sold at Xiesse, but must be tested at Magic Capital Cecilia to obtain it.
Sherry is not a three-year-old child, so he knew it was a businessman's conspiracy as soon as he heard it.
Although her father promised that as long as her grades reached the top twenty in the class, he would take her to Cecilia City to participate in the Holy Spirit Carnival during the winter vacation, but Sherry didn't want to worry about the final exam at all, so he secretly went to trick his uncle, a big businessman who had business in various places, and asked him to help him buy a Magic Wand from Cecilia and send it back.
I didn't expect that the sales advertisement turned out to be true!
Sherry cannot transform through Magic Wand because the magic level is not enough!
However, from the day I got Magic Wand, Sherry started taking classes in my dream every night. The knowledge learned in it seemed to be really learned. If I didn't master it, I would repeat the class until I mastered it!
What can Sherry do?
I just had to start learning!
But when she watched <Magical Girl☆Maya> again, her mood was a little complicated.
It turns out that Magical Girl people need to learn so much knowledge before they can transform? But this way of learning is too cunning, and why not take liberal arts courses such as Chinese, History, Noble Etiquette, Geography, and the like!
Although I have memorized the formulas and problem-solving methods of mathematical physics, I cannot really say that I have mastered it unless I find a few questions of the same type to study. However, it is different in liberal arts. I dreamed of it the night before and took the exam the next day. If I memorized it all, I would get full marks. How happy would that be!
Fortunately, the improvement in Science's scores is enough.
This time, Sherry passed the improvement of Science score and successfully got the top five results in the class. Her father was so happy that he bought the Train ticket to the luxury car of Cecilia that day, preparing to spend the entire winter vacation there.
This is Sherry's seventh day on Train.
Sherry went from being excited at the beginning to being indifferent now, even a little impatient.
But this train is already the fastest.
I heard that not long ago, the train between Xiesse-Cecilia still took half a month to travel. Due to the recent increase in passenger flow, there was a significant increase in the number of passengers who wanted to arrive at Cecilia early, so it was accelerated to seven days.
For Sherry, this long journey is finally coming to an end.
If Train is not delayed (which is almost impossible), we can arrive at Magic Capital around noon.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Reiche couldn't sit still. She took away her daughter's test paper and urged the other party, "Even if you have to do the questions, you have to wash up and dress up before you come back. What does it look like now!"
At this time, my mother was invincible, Sherry didn't dare to talk back.
But after Sherry finished washing and dressing up, Mrs. Reiche urged her to have breakfast, so she had no choice but to walk towards the restaurant car.
When Sherry arrived at the restaurant, he found that his father was already there.
Mr. Reiche obviously came as soon as he arrived. He was sitting on the seat wearing a nightgown and holding Newspaper - gentlemen are dressed like this during long journeys - and showed a big smile when he saw his daughter coming over.
"Sherry baby, did you sleep well last night?"
"Very good, Daddy." It was just a night of math class.
Sherry walked over, placed a kiss on his father's left and right cheeks, and then sat down next to him.
Mr. Reiche called the waiter in the restaurant and ordered breakfast for his daughter.
Sherry was eating Train food that he had long been tired of, and listened to his father reading the words in the travel brochure according to the script. "Next we will pass through the longest tunnel on this route, Mist Tunnel; after passing through this After the tunnel, we can reach the Cecilia area. At that time, we will repair the Forest Station along the way, where we can overlook the Cecilia and the highest Mage Tower The spire of Masterless Tower."
Sherry has no interest in the spire of Mage Tower.
"Do we have to stop? It's the last day, can't we go directly to Cecilia?" Sherry was fed up. "If we exclude the stop time at these stops on the road, I think we can reach Cecilia in just four days."
"It's two days, dear." Mr. Reiche corrected, and glanced at the Newspaper he just held, "In order to attend his fiancée's birthday party, His Highness Crown Prince took the Royal Special Train to reach Cecilia City in only two days, which also represents the highest speed of trains today."
"It's a pity that we are not members of the royal family."
At this time, Mrs. Reiche came over, and she stared at her husband dissatisfied. "But we are going to our destination today, why are you still wearing your nightgown?"
"You always make a fuss. It's too late to change after the next stop--"
Before Mr. Reiche could finish what he said, the car suddenly went dark.
Then Electric Lamp in the car lit up.
"This is the longest Mist Tunnel." Mr. Reiche said to his daughter.
This tunnel is really long.
It was almost after Sherry had finished breakfast and the waiter took away the plates that the tunnel was completely completed.
Steam Train made a loud whistling sound and slowly stopped.
Sherry looked curiously through the car window, but did not see the legendary Mage Tower spire. He only saw a simple platform and lush trees. It was indeed a small station.
But such a simple scenery did not dampen Mr. Reiche's interest.
"Come on, let's get out of the car and take a look!" Mr. Reiche said with great interest.
"Can you calm down for a while?" Mrs. Reiche said with a tigerish face, obviously not interested in running around.
Sherry looked at his happy father and then at his angry mother. Although she had no interest in the simple platform, she still decided to get off the bus with her father and walk around.
Finally, when she reached the door of Train, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"What a strong smell of Magic Power." She couldn't help but murmured.
Mr. Reiche heard this and smiled and said, "Yes, such a strong Magic Power aura, our Sherry baby is indeed Magical Girl."
He obviously thought that his daughter's chubby disease was on the rise.
Sherry heard her father's teasing, and she hooked her father's arm reluctantly.
"No, I'm serious. You can feel the obvious Magic Power in this booth... ah, Fairy!"
Sherry stared at the side of the platform, his eyes widening.
Her father also looked over and saw the Fairy sign on the side of the platform, and then hurriedly looked at the pamphlet he carried with him.
"Yes, it's Fairy! This lot belongs to the junction of Mist Forest and Cecilia City. Various magical creatures once lived here. I heard that Hero It was here that Lord Roy recruited his Fairy partners and found Hero's Sword, so now people here also have the custom of placing milk and bread at the door to entertain Fairy guests."
Very good, he has maintained his "knowledgeable" image as a father.
Sherry Baby must admire daddy very much!
Mr. Reiche looked towards his daughter and found that his daughter was looking at him helplessly.
I really saw Fairy just now.
It's only the size of a thumb and has dragonfly wings.
Sherry was thinking this in her heart. She wanted to describe what she had just seen to her father, but her instinct stopped her. She knew her father would not believe it, but if she really heard her father's denial, she would feel very sad.
For the same reason, Sherry never told his parents about attending class in his dream.
"What you just saw is Wind Fairy," at this time, a pleasant male voice said behind Sherry, "They were once a race located in mainland Western Territory, but Angell Cecilia built Fairy Circle for them in Mist Forest, and a small number of them migrated over."
Sherry heard the sound and raised his head to look.
She found that the person speaking was a tall man wearing a white cloak. The man had brilliant blond hair and an extremely handsome face, especially his lake-like blue eyes, which would make you fall in love with him if you take one more look at him.
Sherry immediately blushed.
Mr. Reiche had an ominous premonition upon seeing this.
The next moment, he heard his daughter ask in a soft voice that he had never heard before, "Is Angell Cecilia Lady of Charm Cecilia? It doesn't sound like a female name!"
"No, I'm talking about Grand Mage Cecilia, sealed Demon Race and demarcated Abyss," the man denied, "Although you humans have pretty much the same name."
"But the real name of Grand Mage Cecilia has never been mentioned in the history books."
"Because Mr. Grand Mage is still alive! It is not a good thing for the devil Mage that his real name is spread too widely."
"Wow, you know a lot!"
Sherry said with admiration. The sound of her voice made her old father get goosebumps all over the place.
It's a pity that now Sherry seems to have forgotten the existence of his old father, and only this handsome guy is left in his eyes. "Are you also going to Magic Capital to participate in this year's Holy Spirit Celebration?"
"Yes."
"Great!" Sherry almost cheered. It was difficult for her to maintain the voice of a lady, "Then we will be on the same road next!" Maybe we can also participate in Carnival with such a handsome guy.
"Unfortunately, I have to get off the car here," the handsome guy refused, "There are still many days before the celebration, and I need to stay at Mist Forest for a while."
"Alas..." Sherry made a disappointed sound.
"But, little lady, if your goal is Cecilia Celebration, you might as well go to Grand Mage Statue in Cecilia City and have a look!" The handsome guy said meaningfully, "Maybe that statue can alleviate your nightmare."
Nightmare? But I didn't have a nightmare?
Sherry thought strangely.
The handsome guy had no intention of talking to Sherry. He nodded slightly to Sherry, walked down the platform with his suitcase, and quickly disappeared into the fog in the Forest outside the platform.
The fog seems to be thicker.
Mr. Reiche couldn't bear to see his daughter staring at the man's back, so he pulled his daughter and said:
"Sherry! It's almost time for us to get in the car."
"Oh..." Sherry replied, but did not look away.
Mr. Reiche had to hold her daughter's hand and pull her back to the car.
But at this time, there were still people blocking the door and talking.
"Mr. Allen, didn't you say you wanted to get out of the car and have a look?"
"No, not down there! It's too bright! It's too bright! I feel like I'm going to burn out!"
"Are you a vampire?"
"No! This kind of tanning is different from vampire tanning. It's the kind of tanning where the soul goes to heaven! It's too scary!"
"I think you've been hiding in a dark car for a long time working on manuscripts and are not used to the light!... In short, don't stand at the door of the car, it will be bad if it hinders the operation of Train! You also want to see Mr. Angell as soon as possible, right?"
"Ah, my muse, of course I hope to see him sooner, but I can't do that now. I have been stained by the light just now! It will pollute that pure black existence! I have to get rid of the light pollution just now! Sorry, Sir Mandela!"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Allen, where are you going-"
Crazy!
Mr. Reiche struggled through the crowd and finally brought her daughter back to the carriage.
He stood in his own section of the carriage and smiled at his daughter, "The journey is too long, and it's easy to see strange people, but fortunately we are about to reach our destination."
"Yeah!" Sherry responded absently.
She was still looking outside the car.
I don't know whether it was because of the disappointment caused by the handsome guy's departure, or because of the fatigue caused by the long journey, Sherry suddenly wasn't so looking forward to reaching his destination.
She even thought it would be good to stay in this foggy station for a while.
The fresh air filled with Magic Power seemed to cleanse her soul.
Unfortunately, the rest of the journey was fixed. The whistle of Train sounded again soon after, roaring towards Cecilia City.
The Reiche family finally arrived at Magic Capital at 8:30 pm.
(Train is indeed late.)
Cecilia was disappointed with Sherry at first glance.
The Train platform of Magic Capital is no different from the platforms of other stations. It is far less huge and busy than the Xiesse Train station. Moreover, it is only half past eight in the evening, and there are no people on the road. The dim yellow street lights shine on the old streets, making it look a bit depressed.
Not only Sherry thinks so, but Mrs. Reiche also thinks so.
Wearing the newly bought leather shoes, she carefully stepped on the stone street, frowned and asked, "Why is there no one so early? Are we really in Cecilia? Rather than some rural village?"
"Of course that's right! This is the terminal!" Mr. Reiche replied.
He was actually not sure, so he took a few more glances at the Train station sign and a few more travel brochures, and said as if to defend himself, "Maybe the Train station of Cecilia is located in a relatively remote location, right? After all, this city is already so old, and there is no spare location for the planned Train station in the city, so it can only be built outside the city."
Mrs. Reiche didn't care about the reason, he just asked, "Then how do we get to the hotel?"
You don't have to worry about this kind of problem at Xiesse, because Tram shuttles between cities 24 hours a day, so visiting guests don't have to worry about finding a place to stay.
Fortunately, the Reiche family didn't have to worry for long. A Carriage parked in front of a family of three.
This Carriage was sent from the booked hotel - Sherry. In the peripheral store of Movie, there is a Invitation Voucher that won the Carnival by winning a lottery. There you can book the entire Carnival travel project process - specifically to pick up and drop off guests going to the hotel.
"Look! I said don't worry." Mr. Reiche breathed a sigh of relief.
He then couldn't help but ask the coachman, "But if there is no one who has booked a hotel, how can we get into the city?"
"Don't worry, if you wait a little longer, there will be other Carriage." The coachman replied, "Now there will be a Train every morning, noon and evening. If there are no guests, the coachmen will go to the station to take a look."
"There are only three Train trips a day?" Mrs. Reiche exclaimed in disbelief.
"That's a lot, ma'am," the coachman replied, "Just half a year ago, there would only be one Train here every half a week!"
Mainly because this city is located on the border, there are no special products, and the previous industrial development was not very good, so Train, which comes once every half a week, has already met the passenger transportation needs.
It wasn't until Magic Gear's Game Table business developed that the station began to have passenger flow. Then the release of <Magical Girl> drove the development of production and tourism around Movie, and Cecilia finally ushered in the peak of passenger flow.
For the driver of Cecilia, this is a rare good time.
But for the guests from the most prosperous Trade City Xiesse, this is simply unimaginable desolation.
The Reiche family fell silent.
Even Mr. Reiche, who was in high spirits along the way, had some doubts as to whether he had been bewitched by Movie and wasted the family's rare Holy Spirit Festival vacation in a desolate ancient city on the border.
This also made the family's interest low. They didn't even open Carriage's curtains to look at the scenery outside - but it was so late, the lights were still dim, and there really wasn't much to see - and when they arrived at the hotel, they went straight to the counter.
"Miss Sherry, who was invited by Cecilia, returns your parents. There are three of them in total, right?"
Receptionist from the hotel asked with a smile. She is a girl with a sweet smile, "Welcome to Cecilia to participate in the most important festival of the year! You will definitely be welcomed by Blessing of Cecilia!"
Sherry then raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
For a girl who is only fifteen years old, being treated as the "protagonist" is a bit new.
Unfortunately, this freshness was far from being able to completely remove the disappointment in her heart.
The Receptionist girl at the hotel didn't seem to notice the guests' disappointment. After registering the guests' identities, she took a Magic Lamp and led the guests upstairs to the hotel.
The old stairs made noise under the guests' feet, which triggered another round of dissatisfaction from Mrs. Reiche.
"This staircase... isn't it very old?"
"Yes, our hotel has been in operation since Magic Era, and it has a history of 6,792 years." Receptionist said in a bright tone, she was obviously proud of it.
Her guest didn't think so, "Six thousand nine hundred... won't it collapse?" Mrs. Reiche asked worriedly.
Receptionist's smile froze.
They finally arrived at the door of the reserved room. The ancient oak door made Mrs. Reiche frown even more tightly.
However, Receptionist did not take out the key, but raised his hand and drew Rune in the air.
The door suddenly opened with a creak.
Reiche family: indifferent.
Perhaps it was because he was too tired from the journey and felt too disappointed that even Sherry, who liked Magical Girl the most, had no interest in the "little magic" of Receptionist.
Receptionist didn't care, and just introduced enthusiastically, "Everything in our hotel is controlled by magic. As long as guests draw this Rune, they can open and close doors and lights, and use other services in the hotel."
"... Ah, but we are just Commoner." Mr. Reiche said.
"It doesn't matter, in Magic Capital, people without talent can also use magic!" Receptionist said with a bright smile, "You guys should try it!"
As she said this, she pointed to the room and said, "For example, draw Rune against the darkness and say 'let there be light'?"
"Can't we check in normally?" Mrs. Reiche asked politely.
"But..."
"Let there be light!"
When Mrs. Reiche asked, Mr. Reiche drew the Rune that Receptionist had just drawn.
That is a very simple Rune, you can draw it just by looking at it once.
The room suddenly lit up.
Mr. Reiche showed a smile like a child m. hetushu•com. com. "Look, I did it! I can also use magic... it hurts!"
Mr. Reiche was stepped on by Mrs. Reiche.
"Poof!" Sherry couldn't help laughing.
Receptionist noticed Sherry's smile and led her to the door of the next room, "This is the room of Lady Cecilia's distinguished guest. Please give it a try!"
"..." Sherry hesitated.
She remembered her failure the first time she used Magic Wand.
"Dear Shirley, do you want me to help you?" Mr. Reiche noticed his daughter's hesitation and asked eagerly - no, he seemed to just think it was fun - and rushed to draw Rune.
The door didn't open.
"Each door must be opened by its owner." Receptionist said.
Sherry glanced at his father. "I'll do it myself."
As she said this, she drew a Rune, and the door opened as expected.
"Let there be light!"
Sherry continued, the lights in the room also turned on.
"You can be more bold, after all, you are Cecilia's guest!" Receptionist whispered to Sherry.
What does it mean?
Sherry looked at Receptionist, but the other party only smiled at the guests and said, "You can try various functions in the room by yourself. If you have any trouble, you can just ask me."
Receptionist said this and left from the corridor.
"It's so fancy!" Mrs. Reiche said obviously not liking this. She pushed her suitcase into the room. "Such an old hotel, isn't it very dirty?"
"Why do you always think of the worst?" Mr. Reiche said.
And Sherry stood in the corridor for a while. She hesitantly drew the Rune for the third time and whispered:
"Transformation?"
A burst of light surrounded her.
And Mrs. Reiche walked around the room and found that this hotel was old, but very clean, and some places were quite unique. Finally, the dissatisfaction in his heart was reduced.
But there is absolutely no praise.
This is what a hotel should do.
Mrs. Reiche just looked out the door. "Sherry, what do you think... why did you just change into pajamas?! When did you change them?! And where did you get these pajamas?"
"Just now! I'm almost going to rest!"
Sherry replied, carrying his suitcase and entering the room in a hurry.
"What's going on with this girl?" Mrs. Reiche asked strangely, looking at her husband, "She seems to have suddenly become happy?"
"It's natural to be happy in a hotel where you can use magic, right?" Mr. Reiche replied casually. He put his luggage away and found the hotel directory out of habit and looked at it, "Huh? This hotel seems to be able to save accommodation costs by meditating!"
Mrs. Reiche walked over immediately.
"Let me see!"
"Can people without talent meditate?"
"It seems possible, and it seems quite easy."
The couple drew the special Rune according to the instruction manual, and then quickly became addicted to it.
