Chapter 65 The girl who ran away from home and the boy who was looking for the fire dragon
——X784, the port city "Harujion".
If we were to talk about the history of this city, there might not be anything surprising about it, it was just an ordinary fishing port.
But I don’t know if it’s fate or coincidence. Whether it’s 100 years ago or 100 years later, everything can be said to have started from here...
…
"...Gah! Why is there only one magic shop in such a big city!!"
"What's even more annoying! That perverted old man!! Is my beauty only worth a thousand gold coins?!"
On the shopping street avenue, a young girl in fashionable clothes shouted frantically. The failure in bargaining just now deeply affected her "girlish heart".
"The only one who's pretty good is this 'Canis Minor'..."
"Pfft...hahaha!!"
Just when the blond girl was happy that she had finally bought a star spirit key, a hearty laugh suddenly came from above her head.
Well, it really came from the top of my head.
"...Stop laughing at me! Bran!"
"Also! Get off my head quickly and walk away! Can magic still be used like this?!"
She angrily moved her gaze upwards, and lying on top of her was another girl with emerald green hair and bangs, only the size of a palm.
Witnessing the whole process of her best friend's "bowing down and fighting coquettishly" made this "puppet girl" burst into laughter.
"No need to do that~ It's more comfortable this way~"
Squinting her eyes and turning over in enjoyment, the girl called 'Bran' by the blonde girl lazily refused.
Being lazy whenever possible is her code of conduct.
"You asked me to 'make you smaller' before. Now it's time for you to repay me~Lucy~"
"No!"
After being caught with a "sore foot", the girl named "Lucy" couldn't help but scream in alarm, and then walked dejectedly towards the train station.
"...There's nothing I can do about it. It's true, mom, I'm only seventeen years old! She actually arranges a blind date for me once a week!"
Complaining about what her mother had done, Lucy at this time missed her gentle and gentle mother when she was a child.
Sure enough, people will become older when they get older, right? He is obviously only in his forties...
"Hmm... It's not difficult for me to understand Aunt Leila's thoughts. How can our Miss Lucy be so childlike even when she is almost an adult~"
"...Who, who said that! I have had three...no! four boyfriends!"
He protested guiltily to the top of his head, but unfortunately, this kind of lackluster words seemed like he was trying to show off his strength.
"Anyway! It doesn't matter what happens with that kind of thing. Anyway, I have run away from home. I must prove to my father and mother that I can live alone!"
"...Ahhh...'Running away from home'...Then, how do you prove it?"
After murmuring perfunctorily as if he was remembering someone, Bran gently tapped his 'golden mattress'.
"Hehe... needless to say!"
The sea breeze blew up and the blond girl who had already made up her mind smiled brightly.
"What is this passion that is beating in my heart right now...!"
Her face was red and she was holding her chest. She stood in the alley leading to the train station and looked at the man known as the 'Fire Dragon' who was surrounded by a group of girls. Lucy felt that... she might be in love...
(…)
(Fortunately, the leader gave her some advice, this child must be too easy to deceive...)
One hand pulled Lucy's hair to show her dissatisfaction, and the doll girl, who didn't know what to say, snapped her fingers with her other hand.
--Snapped.
"Eh……!"
"I am..."
She glanced at the person in the crowd again in confusion. This time, the blond girl only felt a sick feeling rising up.
This is the counter-effect of the forced removal of magic.
"Stupid. That's 'charm'."
"——!"
When someone reminded her, Lucy finally reacted.
The so-called "charm" is actually a kind of magic that can confuse people's hearts, but it was strictly prohibited a few years ago.
"...That's too obscene! Can that be considered a magician?!"
With a gloomy face, she reached for the leather whip on her waist. Miss Lucy, who had seen injustice on the road, was going to...
"Igunilu!!!"
At this time, at the corner of the shopping street, a boy with cherry-haired hair suddenly rushed out, shouting a name Lucy didn't recognize.
And the other party was acting like that, so it was obviously too late to brake.
"Wait, wait...in front...in front! Ah——!"
"Wow!"
Accompanied by two screams, a collision that made people cover their faces occurred.
Maybe, this is...'a fateful encounter'?
Looking at the two people rolling and hitting the wall, Bran jumped down immediately after sensing the 'rollover crisis' and spread his hands.
Then, the 'Puppet Girl' turned around and looked at the 'Fire Dragon' who was using magic to leave with disgust.
('Fire Dragon'...)
(It doesn’t matter if you leave it alone, but if the leader and the aunt find out after you go back that someone is using ‘that name’ falsely, and I’m still there...)
(…)
(It’s really troublesome...)
Due to 'pressure', she had no choice but to move her body.
After all, what this lazy girl whose full name is Brandish hates most is trouble. (To be continued)
