"Daddy, Mommy, good morning!"
Sherry said full of energy.
She kissed her parents' cheeks as usual, and then looked at the dark circles under her parents' eyes with some confusion. "You look very tired. You didn't get any rest last night, okay?"
"The bed is very comfortable. I spent too much time meditating." Mr. Reiche replied.
"Meditation?"
"Your mother insists on using Magic Power to pay for the room, but the Magic Power of meditation is not worth it... it hurts!"
"You obviously go to bed later than me!" Mrs. Reiche hit her husband's arm hard.
In fact, the subsidized room rate for meditation is not much.
After a round of Mana Cube, you can only replenish your money by a few cents at most, and you can't even buy a piece of candy.
Of course, the shrewd Mrs. Reiche realized this quickly, but this kind of Meditation Method was simply poisonous. She played round after round and couldn't stop, and even almost forgot to take a shower. If she hadn't remembered that she had to accompany her daughter to Magical Girl Pilgrimage today (visit City of Seyekin), the Reiche couple could have "meditated" in the hotel for a day.
Mrs. Reiche I don't really want to go out right now.
However, it was too decadent to spend the first day of vacation like this. Mrs. Reiche could only suppress his laziness and glared at his daughter. "Don't worry about adults' affairs!"
"Oh--" Sherry responded with a long, ambiguous voice.
She thinks she has reached the age to understand some "adult things".
Mr. Reiche doesn't feel right.
"Okay, let's go have breakfast!" he said.
Mr. Reiche walked downstairs with his wife and daughter on his arm, and smiled at his daughter, "Sherry, my dear, you are so beautiful today. The white skirt suits you very well."
"Hmm? Where did this skirt come from?" Mrs. Reiche then noticed her daughter's attire, but she didn't remember buying this type of skirt for her daughter. The main reason was that the skirt was a bit short and did not reach the middle of the calf, which made it look unladylike.
Sherry pretended not to hear her mother's disapproval, and just pulled the hem of her skirt towards her father. "It's beautiful, isn't it? This is Magical Girl's novice suit, I matched it myself!"
"Spending money on useless things again." Mrs. Reiche muttered.
She thought these were peripheral items that her daughter bought secretly.
"No! This set is free, it was given as a gift from Cecilia Invitation Ticket!"
Sherry took out his own Invitation Voucher and said.
Last night, when Reiche and his wife were indulging in "meditation", Sherry found his own fun.
She discovered that the "transformation" spell could actually transform her.
I just don't know if it's because Sherry is not the real Magical Girl yet. Her clothes after transformation can only be chosen among "own clothes", "hotel pajamas", "hotel bathrobe" and "Magical Girl Starter Set".
Among them, the regular clothes are Sherry's own clothes. Needless to say, the hotel's pajamas and bathrobes are provided by the hotel. What surprised Sherry the most was "Magical Girl Starter Set".
She discovered that there was a Cecilia Mirror in her room.
If she chants the transformation spell in front of the mirror, "tops", "bottoms" and "dresses" will appear in the mirror for her to choose. There are more than a dozen types in each category. Unfortunately, Sherry can only choose one as her own outfit.
Last night, I spent a long time matching Sherry, and finally settled on this set for myself.
As she chose her "newbie costume", the card-like "Cecilia Invitation Ticket" also had a beautiful stamp on it, with the terms "Magical Girl Transformation" printed on the back.
It seems that collecting magic stamps is also one of the purposes of this trip.
Before this, Sherry thought the text behind Invitation Voucher was a simple amusement item!
Sherry immediately wanted to collect all the stamps on the back of Invitation Voucher in one go!
As if feeling the expectation of Sherry, the "Dream Classroom" from last night did not appear. Only the soft sea of stars shone in the Dream Realm, making Sherry sleep very soundly and deeply.
Now full of energy, Sherry can't wait to experience other projects behind Invitation Voucher.
It's a pity that Reiche and his wife cannot feel Sherry's mood.
Mrs. Reiche looked at her daughter carefully after hearing that the clothes were free. Although she likes words like discounts and cheap, as a middle-class housewife, she still pays attention to taste and will never allow her daughter to pick up trash. She came to wear it. Fortunately, this outfit was not too flattering, and the tailoring of Sewing was also very high-end. Except for the hem of the skirt, which made her feel a bit short, everything else was pretty good. Mrs. Reiche didn't make a sound at all.
The breakfast after that was very satisfying to Mrs. Reiche.
It doesn't matter what you ate, the important thing is that this is a breakfast buffet that Xiesse only became popular.
"Although this hotel is a bit old, the service is OK." Mrs. Reiche said to her husband.
Hotel Receptionist's eyelids jumped as she heard her words.
I'm so angry, but I have to keep smiling.
"You two don't seem to have had a good rest," Receptionist said with a smile, "Would you like to try the local specialty Happy Water? You can regain your energy immediately."
"Happy Water?" Mrs. Reiche was a little confused.
Mr. Reiche chose the one with lemon on top without any scruples and drank it.
He then burped.
"This tastes... so refreshing!" He said with satisfaction, and then found that his brain, which had been groggy from "meditating" for most of the night, really woke up, and he felt like he could do ten more math problems (X).
Mr. Reiche is an engineer. When he is busy, he often needs to work all night long. He feels that he also needs this kind of Happy Water in his daily life.
"Can this Happy Water be wholesaled?" Mr. Reiche asked impatiently.
"Of course..."
Mrs. Reiche didn't wait for Receptionist to finish speaking, and asked cautiously, "Wait a minute, this is not Alchemy Potion, right? I read relevant reports that Alchemy Potion is not good for Commoner's soul--"
"Of course not, this is an ordinary drink, and we have passed relevant inspections." Receptionist said with a smile.
Mrs. Reiche then took a sip suspiciously.
She also burped.
"The taste is a bit weird." Mrs. Reiche commented. Although she felt much clearer, she did not continue trying. Instead, she grabbed her husband and chose the salad next to her. "It was a bit too exciting to drink in the morning. I think the vegetables here are quite fresh. This is probably the only advantage of the countryside."
Mr. Reiche smiled apologetically at Receptionist.
But he has made up his mind to move one box when he goes back... no, ten boxes of Happy Water!
I will rely on it to survive for the next year!

Sherry didn't know that his father had already decided to bring back Xiesse's specialties before he left the hotel.
She finished breakfast as quickly as possible, waited for a while, and then left the hotel with her (in her opinion) troubled parents.
The scenery outside the hotel stunned the family of three.
They arrived too late last night, it was too dark, and due to the fatigue of the journey and mental fatigue, the three Reiche family members did not observe the city carefully. When they came out of the hotel today, they noticed that the hotel they lived in was actually located in the middle of a huge ancient tree. This is not quite right. It should be said that the giant trees and boulders grew together and were integrated, as if they had grown naturally.
And this kind of building is not just a hotel, but also the buildings on this street.
"This city is very unique. It seems that this trip is indeed worthwhile!"
Mr. Reiche picked up Camera, which was specially purchased for this trip, and took a few photos.
"Wow... it's the same as in Movie. I thought they shot it specially. Is the whole city like this?" Mrs. Reiche was also surprised.
Sherry was walking along the street. Compared to the ancient and beautiful scenery, just walking on the same street as Magical Girl was enough to make her excited.
But when she walked to the open space at the corner of the street and occasionally raised her head to look at the sky, her eyes widened.
She looked towards and then exclaimed to her parents, "Daddy, Mommy, look up! Up!"
Reiche and his wife watched their daughter take a few steps in confusion, looked in the direction she pointed, and then froze.
That is a huge tree.
It was a glistening white inverted tree.
It seems to grow from the endless sky. The huge tree roots are rooted in the clouds, and the crown of the tree with snow-white leaves hangs over the city. Countless white aerial roots hang down from the crown and fall into the city. One of them hangs down to Above the hotel, Magic Power were continuously transmitted down from above, and some were transmitted up. The Magic Power that had no time to be transmitted condensed near the top of the hotel, forming a shiny white bulb.
"What is this? World Tree?" Mr. Reiche asked in shock.
He had only heard of such existence in fairy tales.
"No, that's Cloud Server, and the one above the hotel over here is Mana Base Station." Receptionist from the hotel happened to come out of the store and saw a shouting family. He couldn't help but stop and look at the sky, and explained, "It is with this alchemy equipment that we untalented people can use magic in specific places in the city."
Mr. Reiche thought of some of the hotel's facilities.
He couldn't help but asked jealously, "Have you always been so luxurious?"
"Of course it's impossible! This was built recently by Magic Gear Workshop, and it was only piloted in schools before." Receptionist looked at the white air root transmitting Magic Power above the hotel in fascination.
She could spend a whole day just looking at the scenery transmitted by Magic Power.
School pilot?
It seems that I have seen similar reports.
Mr. Reiche said, "New alchemy product? I wonder if Xiesse can make it..."
"Isn't it difficult?" Receptionist frowned, "I heard from the owner of Magic Gear that the traffic of Mana Base Station is limited, so Base Station can only be built in residential areas with high Magic Power levels. It was not easy for our hotel to obtain this qualification."
What's more, these Base Stations were only built a few days ago. Xiesse Peoples can have them if they want. Where do you want to show your face as a resident of Cecilia Citys!
The name Magic Capital is not for nothing.
Receptionist looked at the Magic Wand in Sherry's hand. "Actually, Magical Girl's Magic Wand can be used without Mana Base Station's, but in Xiesse, few children can activate it!"
Sherry blushed and slightly hid Magic Wand behind his back.
Fortunately, Receptionist still remembered her work, and she quickly returned to her enthusiastic smile.
"But since you can be entertained by Cecilia, this lady obviously has enough magic talent. I believe that this journey will definitely bring you something."
Receptionist said.
She lifted up her skirt at the door of the ancient hotel with the giant Magic Power bulb as the background, and saluted the guests:
"Welcome to Magic Capital, Cecilia."

"What a spectacle!"
At the same time, Sir Mandela also looked up at the trees in the sky.
Due to the release of <Magical Girl☆Maya>, Sir Mandela traveled back and forth between Xiesse and Cecilia City during this period. Although there would be some new "surprises" every time he came here, this time it scared him a little.
Sir Mandela exclaimed, "Although I have always said that I would build Mana Base Station, I really didn't expect that the momentum would be so great this time!"
"I didn't expect it either." Angell said.
His original breeding plan was not like this.
Angell's plan is to plant a piece of Sky Spring to make Mana Base Station, and then he will have a sky lake.
But I didn't expect that the first pilot had unexpectedly good results. First, it attracted students, newsboys, nearby residents, vendors... After half a year of fermentation, many residents discovered the secret of "Mana Base Station" and would go nearby to have two "meditations" when walking.
Under the cultivation of Cecilia City residents, this Sky Spring grew bigger and bigger, almost covering half of the city, but Angell kept hiding it with magic.
And when the pilot was over, when Mayor Owen wanted to build other Mana Base Station, it was not appropriate to synthesize other Sky Spring. Angell simply gave the original Sky Spring more alchemy and synthesized several Tentacle as its Magic Power channel.
The advantage of this approach is that it saves materials and money.
The disadvantage is that before Sky Spring grows to cover the whole city, its "traffic" is relatively limited.
However, in addition to "Magic Education", the current projects of the entire "Cloud Server" are only "Holy Spirit Carnival Festival". Angell is not too worried about Server having problems... probably.
(As a former game Lead Planner, Angell is really hard to trust Server in any form)
It's a pity that no one knows the worries in Angell's heart.
The way Angell frowned and leaned on the sofa in deep thought was only understood by people as Black Robe's enigma.
"Senior Angell is too humble!" After Hume Branch President saw "Cloud Server" in the sky, he wanted to fall at the feet of Angell: "If you had no plan, how could you have made such a huge Mana Well?"
"Calling it Mana Well is a bit inappropriate. I think it should be called Sky Tree. It's not unusual to even be called World Tree! Maybe the legendary World Tree is just like Planting!" Mayor Owen also said excitedly, not forgetting to take a picture of Angell's rainbow fart, "As expected of the master of Magic Gear, you must be the greatest Alchemy master of our time!"
"Haha." Angell let out a few perfunctory laughs.
He can indeed call himself "the greatest Alchemy teacher", because now all the guys who have the qualifications to become Alchemy teachers have gone to Industrial City Sensenata!
Because Angell wanted to recruit a few Alchemy engineers for his Workshop to share the maintenance work of Cloud Server, he had already posted a recruitment notice on Career Agency, but after three months of recruiting, he didn't find any!
Now that Mana Base Station is expanding, he can't just rely on Enlise and Silverleaf, right?
In fact, recently Rune Apprentice, who is better at math, has been sent to Server for maintenance.
Angell feels bald just thinking about this.
Angell asked Sir Mandela warily, "Xiesse, it's almost time for the guests who want to come to attend Holy Spirit Carnival Festival to leave, right?"
"Actually, the first batch of guests have already arrived," Sir Mandela said. "I met several little girls on Train who were preparing to come to Carnival."
"Very good, the passenger flow peak will come a few days earlier than expected." Angell muttered.
It also means that Server pressure will come sooner than expected.
"Don't worry, Mr. Angell, Cecilia City is ready to receive guests, and will live up to everything you have done for us," Mayor Owen said confidently. He also smiled at Sir Mandela by the way, "Of course, there will be so many guests this time, and we need more help from Sir."
"A win-win, this is a win-win!" Sir Mandela's face glowed red.
He is not only happy about the popularity of <Magical Girl> in Xiesse and Cecilia - this kind of popularity, other Movie can barely do it. It can be done - but relying on this film, Sir Mandela has also opened up the market in more remote towns. The number of theaters under his control has increased by dozens. There are even some human and alien creatures who are willing to introduce this film.
The content of Movie is certainly one of the reasons, but a large part of the reason is also because Movie was invested and produced by Magic Gear.
Although Sir Mandela wanted to take advantage of the appeal of Cecilia City from the beginning, it was only after watching this movie that he truly confirmed how powerful the Magic City's influence was, and what a well-established workshop the Magic Gear was.
--In the final analysis, in this Plane, the industrial foundation is still too thin, and the glory of Magic Capital for thousands of years cannot be erased so easily.
Sir Mandela is not interested in those ideological things. He is only more and more sure that he must hold Angell's thigh tightly.
So even though his own theater expansion plan was in an emergency and he was very busy, he still went to Cecilia City early to help with the preparations for "Holy Spirit Carnival Festival".
Of course, this kind of help is not just words.
Sir Mandela smiled and said, "This time <Magical Girl☆Maya> is a complete victory. I think it's time to calculate the income with Mr. Angell, and then just spend Holy Spirit Carnival Festival here!"
That's right, he sent money!
Sir Mandela was thinking about Mana Base Station and Holy Spirit Carnival Festival again. Angell must have spent a lot recently, so he simply dragged a few suitcases of gold coins to support Angell.
Speaking of this, Sir Mandela remembered another thing. "Mr. Allen was originally going to come with me, but he seemed to... get a unique inspiration on the way, so he suddenly got off the car?"
"Haha, he is quite clever." Angell sneered weakly.
Speaking of Allen, he hasn't settled the score with him about the plot of <Magical Girl☆Maya> yet!
But that guy Allen had a good premonition of the crisis and avoided the limelight several times. After a while, Angell was a little too lazy to ask questions.
However, Angell doesn't just let it go.
Especially Mandela took the initiative to mention this matter.
"Although it's a bit late now, Sir Mandela, could you please help me buy a few sets of the best and most comprehensive Movie shooting equipment," Angell requested. "The amount can be deducted from my income."
"Movie shooting equipment?"
Sure enough, Mr. Angell's next step is to get rid of Iron Puppet and shoot Movie by himself?!
Mandela thought worriedly.
He has been worried about this matter these days - Movie's idea was thought up by Angell, the screenwriter was Angell, the heroine was also found by Angell, and even part of the storyboard was from Angell drew it by himself! With the test of this film, as long as Angell has the manpower, he can obviously shoot the next one - Mandela is very worried that Angell is going to do the next one by himself. If it were him, he would definitely do that.
But even though Sir Mandela was so worried in his heart, he still smiled boldly and said, "Of course, whatever equipment Mr. Angell wants, I can help you buy the best equipment immediately and send it to you! - But, are you planning to build your own studio? Heroes really think alike. I am also preparing to build a Iron Puppet branch in Cecilia, so the next cooperation -"
"I want to see how to magicize such equipment." Angell said.
"... Magic?" Sir Mandela was stunned on the spot.
"Ordinary big screens are too boring. I want to see how to use magic equipment to achieve shooting effects."
Then control the script, storyboards, and shooting process in your own hands!
Angell thought.
He still reflected on the last failure, and finally felt that the equipment was too backward. As an Transmigrator that came from the digital age, the Angell simply could not accept the situation where only the director and photographer knew the state of the finished film.
And Xiesse is really too far away. Although Angell has a "special method of movement", it can't be a headless body and go to Production Studio to personally supervise it, right? It can scare its companions into enemies in a matter of minutes.
Angell was very careful not to reveal the scary side of Black Robe.
Therefore, the next Movie must be improved from a magic point of view so that the entire process is within your control!
Angell looked at Mandela: "Therefore, I need to understand the use of those shooting equipment and see how to use magic to transform them... By the way, you said you are going to build a studio here, do you mind if I visit?"
"Of course not! In fact, even if you want to use my photography equipment now, there is no problem!"
Mandela He feels it!
I felt the excitement when I saw "Movie" for the first time!
If Magic Movie can really be photographed... No, as long as Angell can combine Movie and his Mana Base Station, it will be a new outlet!
And the omnipotent Black Robe can definitely do it!
Mandela looked at Black Robe excitedly.
Black Robe leaned back on the sofa feebly. "Okay, Movie we'll talk about it later, the most important thing now is Holy Spirit Carnival Festival... how many passengers do you expect to come?"
Should we do something to protect Server from any problems?
Angell thought sadly.
