"Don't be sad even if you don't have the Clow Cards. Although I like Sakura too, Freya is the most powerful magical girl!"
Freya lost in the final judgment, and all the Clow Cards became Sakura Cards, but he will always support Freya!
"Ah, thank you. I remember there is a stationery store up ahead. I'll go buy you a new Xun."
"No need, I'll give it to you."
"But you still have to do your homework, right?"
That's true, so Marijin accepted Reiya's new xun.
"Um...Freya, Daidouji, can you sign an autograph for me?"
Before leaving, Zhenliren finally couldn't help but say it. In fact, he had wanted to say it for a long time, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
"Of course."
The two of them were written on the label card of the Xun.
As a gift to Zhenren, Freya and Daoji Temple know the world.
After thinking about it, Ling also wrote a message: Study hard and make progress every day.
After saying goodbye to Mari, Reiya and Tomoyo continued to go to the library. It was just a small episode, and neither of them took it to heart.
Tomoyo was a little curious about the xiao, but Ling herself couldn't explain what was so strange about it.
"I'll probably know after I go back and blow it. I'll tell you then."
“Why not blow it here?”
"Ah? But wasn't this the xiao that Marihito just played? It needs to be washed."
I'm not dislikeing anything, but things that have been blown by someone else, especially a stranger, should always be kept clean.
After hearing this, Chise immediately accepted it.
Playing an instrument that someone else has played is equivalent to indirect kissing. It is absolutely not okay for Ling to kiss someone else!
In fact, Ling is not worried about this.
This is bustling Tokyo, with heavy traffic.
If there was something wrong with the Xun and it caused strange phenomena, it would inevitably cause casualties. Although she had the Meta Field, it was better to be careful if some things could be avoided.
After coming out of the library, Lingye and Tomoyo went to a restaurant in Chiyoda that was quite famous among diners because they had made an appointment to have dinner together.
Grilled bird skewers, grilled fish spines, and grilled letter bags.
Perhaps influenced by food variety shows, Tomoyo has recently taken to exploring restaurants and updating her Weibo. The first thing to do when dishes are served is to take photos.
Ling didn't find it strange, but rather natural, and felt like she had returned to a familiar era.
"How about it?"
"Yeah, very good."
The fact that Tomoyo made such a comment is enough to prove that this store is indeed worthy of its reputation.
"Lingye, you eat too."
"Ah."
Ling also picked up the chopsticks and reached for a letter bag. Although the letter bag itself had a toothpick inserted, she was still not used to directly touching it, and always felt that it was too rude. But the movement of the chopsticks stopped.
Because Ling also felt a certain gaze. It was a bit burning.
Turning around, it was someone I knew.
We're not that familiar with each other, but we've met a few times and we nod and say hello when we meet.
It was the diner in the late night restaurant, the gangster Mr. Xiaolong. But today he was not wearing sunglasses, so he looked a little different.
Then Ling also noticed that his eyes were not on her and Chiyo, but on the food on their table. Just like a beast staring at its prey, he swallowed unconsciously.
"Good evening, Uncle Xiaolong."
Lingye said hello, but the other party's reaction was a bit strange. He was a bit puzzled and pointed at himself, as if wondering if Lingye was talking to him.
Then Ling also realized that she seemed to have really recognized the wrong person.
Although they looked almost the same, he was not Mr. Xiaolong, the frequent customer of the late night canteen, who loved to wear sunglasses and always ordered an octopus sausage. Of course, this also meant that the other party was not a gangster.
If it weren't for the preconceived notions, Ling would not have associated the other party with the underworld. Without the sunglasses, this 'Xiaolong' looked like a silly old man.
"Guest, have you decided what to order?"
After being reminded by the waiter, the man closed the menu.
"That one, the same as that table!"
"exactly the same?"
"Yes, they're all the same. Sorry, you guys were eating so deliciously that I couldn't help it." The man said the second half of the sentence to Reiya and Tomoyo.
Neither of them cared when they met such an honest uncle.
"You're really not 'Uncle Xiaolong'?"
"Oh, I'm Goro Inogashira." Goro subconsciously wanted to take out a business card, but then realized that the other party was just two little girls, and judging from their school uniforms, they were still elementary school students. He took the business card back awkwardly. It has become a conditioned reflex developed from work.
But Ling was sharp-eyed and she had already seen that the other party was running an "import grocery store".
Having lived in Tokyo for several years, Ling also knew that most of the so-called "import grocery stores" were shell companies, some of which did not even have warehouses. After contacting the buyers, they would place orders through their own channels and make a profit from the difference.
That is purchasing on behalf of others.
In the era when Taobao and JD.com were rising in mainland China, there was no soil for this kind of industry to survive.
However, there are no conditions for online shopping in the island country, and Ling has given up. Therefore, the purchasing agent industry can continue to exist.
Wu Lang escaped being laid off without knowing it. Congratulations.
After sending Chiyo home, Ling went home by herself.
Only then did she have time to take out the xun again and examine it carefully.
Still unable to see anything. She was a little confused about the feeling that had made her feel a little concerned before.
Do you still need to blow it?
This is her own study room. If the streets of Tokyo should not be destroyed, then her own home certainly should not be destroyed either. So Ling also stood up from her chair and took a step forward.
One step is already a different world.
Gensokyo
Ling also washed the xiao with the stream water from Takamagahara, and after blowing it dry, she placed it in front of her lips.
The first sound was broken.
It’s really hard to play, and she’s already considered proficient at various instruments.
But it’s not impossible to brag.
I adjusted it and tried again. It blew out.
As expected of me.
The sound quality is surprisingly good, but due to the texture, the strength and feeling of playing it are a little different from those of ordinary xiao. I will be fine after trying it a few more times.
Ling also tried to play a tune.
The uniquely deep and ethereal sound of the xiao echoed in the mountain streams and valleys.
Everything was silent, as if the world had quieted down and the entire Gensokyo was listening to the sounds of heaven and earth.
When the song ended, Ling was a little disappointed because nothing happened.
So is it really just my illusion? Is this just an ordinary xun?
"This song is very nice, what's its name?"
It was Momiji Kari's voice. Ling had already noticed him, of course, so she wasn't surprised.
"Castle in the Sky"
In fact, when Ling wanted to play a song just now, the first thing that came to her mind was Xiaoyue and Xiaomei in "My Neighbor Totoro", the song in which they sat with Totoro on the top of a big oak tree that grew into a towering tree overnight and played the xiao.
But although it was a very familiar song, Lingye couldn't remember the rhythm for a moment, and her fingers automatically played the melody of "Castle in the Sky".
It doesn’t matter, I just sang it casually.
"This Xun is made of monster teeth, right?"
"Monster's teeth?"
"Well, it's not quite like it, but it's definitely not an ordinary animal."
Ling still trusted Hongye Huo's judgment. But no matter what animal's teeth this Xun was made of, it obviously had no special abilities.
There is no magic power and no high technology.
So was she wrong before? This is just an ordinary xiao.
Ling was also a little disappointed, but it was nothing. She could make powerful tools by herself. The so-called divine tools were just that. Even things like the Eight-foot Mirror and the Kusanagi Sword were not something she found strange.
It feels like I opened a gashapon store on the roadside, but didn't get any unexpected limited edition products. That's the feeling.
Back in the study, Ling also put the xun on the bookshelf.
The lights in the study were turned off, the person left, and the moonlight poured in from the window, making the xun on the bookshelf look pale.
In the darkness, Tian Xiegui opened his eyes. His duty was to protect the peace of the Oshima mansion. Even though the young lady didn't need anyone's protection.
It was indeed just a Xun, and nothing happened. After a while, the Tianxie ghost returned to the shadows.
Chapter 407 Star Cluster
Maria is an all-round maid, Ling has long known it.
But when it comes to playing games, the head maid is not very good at it.
"A mere Gaia dares to compete with me, Seven!" Lingye muttered, pointing his fingers quickly.
Seven on the screen threw out the ice axe, then put two fingers on his forehead, and the Amerim ray bombarded the ice axe, and rushed towards Gaia controlled by Maria!
This is Seven's hidden super special move, which requires very harsh conditions to use, consumes a lot of energy, takes a long time to judge, and is easy to dodge. Ling can't really use it, because Maria is a rookie.
