There is light snow falling on the mountain, which is also the first snow in the south since the beginning of winter.
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, fell into this vast world, and then slowly melted and disappeared without a trace.
When night falls, the city on the top of the mountain is decorated with sporadic orange lights, showing a bit of warmth and warmth that is not available during the day.
In the tower room, Lorraine Hill, wearing a white dress, sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the mountains and city outside the window, neither speaking nor thinking about anything complicated.
It seems that I haven't sat quietly like this for a long time. There is no purpose. I just sit in a daze quietly and let my mind go.
Over the years, she has spent most of her time running about the empire, and the thoughts and ideas in her mind never seem to stop.
Are you too anxious?
Lorraine Hill slowly leaned back, letting her hair fall lightly on the bed with her body.
Forget it, it's better not to continue analyzing yourself, I feel like you'll get sick if you do.
Well, I kind of want to go home. I want to end it early, go back early, lie on a comfortable pillow, and then sleep well. I want to sit under the shade of the trees with cicadas chirping in summer, fishing quietly without thinking about anything, and looking at the leaves.
Slowly setting, the sun gradually sets towards the west, and the golden afterglow dyes the clouds into brilliant colors.
Slowly, the girl gradually fell into a dream, and the faint sound of breathing sounded in the room. The regular ups and downs indicated that the owner was experiencing a long dream.
The next morning, Lorraine Hill felt a little itchy on his face, and then he opened his eyes, only to find a cute cat's paw touching his forehead.
This black cat is not big. Only its four legs and the end of its tail are dotted with white. The rest is soft black, which is very special.
"Meow~"
The cry has a longer ending, and the simple sound seems to contain a variety of changes, making people feel happy.
Seeing Lorraine Hill sit up, the black cat took a few steps back and squatted on the bed, looking up at the girl's face. The tail behind it was circling from time to time, indicating that it was slightly happy.
What a special cat. How did it get into the room? But it looked so cute. Lorraine Hill wanted to touch the soft cat fur.
"Meow~"
The cat barked at the girl again, then slowly walked over, rubbed its arm with its head, and then jumped onto Lorraine Hill's lap in small steps.
As soon as a soft touch came from her arm, before Lorraine Hill could touch the little guy, he jumped onto her lap, and a slight stepping sensation came from her thigh, making the girl feel a little itchy.
Fortunately, the black cat didn't move any more, so Lorraine Hill held it in his arms and touched the supple cat body.
The little guy seemed to enjoy Lorraine Hill's touch, his eyes narrowed, and then he lay on his side on the girl's lap, purring.
It has a little bit of meat. When Lorraine Hill touched this guy, he felt that it was not that thin stray cat. It was very warm under the soft cat fur and had a good sense of flesh.
When his wrist brushed the cat ears, the black cat ears trembled slightly, avoiding the girl's touch. This made Lorraine Hill a little more curious, and then touched the cat ears with his fingers again, every time.
Brings a slight jitter to dodge.
Feeling the pinna of the ear sweep across my fingertips in confusion, a familiar and nostalgic memory emerged in my mind. It seemed that a long, long time ago, I was like this, teasing the tabby cat in my hometown.
Lorraine Hill slowly stroked the black cat, with a dull and pure happiness on his face.
In order not to disturb the little guy's sleep, Lorraine Hill also sat on the edge of the bed and did not continue to get up, just for this rare leisure and happiness in life.
A gentle hum came from Lorraine Hill's mouth.
There are no complex melodies or difficult timbres, only simple and gentle melodies that are repeated and repeated again and again.
The sands of time flow quietly in the dim light of the morning sun, making people feel its delicacy and beauty.
In this way, after spending another peaceful and quiet morning, the things that had been accumulated in Lorraine Hill's heart also dissipated a lot, and everything seemed to become relaxed and clear.
Near noon, the black cat woke up leisurely. It put its feet on the girl's skirt, raised its hind legs high, and made a stretching meow. Then it jumped from the skirt on Lorraine Hill's legs in small steps.
Get off and walk to the other side of the bed.
Then a faint light flashed, and the black cat in front of him dissipated like smoke and condensed again, turning into a girl about the same size as Lorraine Hill.
Compared with normal humans, she has obvious cat ears and tail. She wears a mainly black dress with white accents. The collar, cuffs, and skirt are all decorated with white flowers. She also has a white bow tied on her tail.
Her form as a black cat corresponds one-to-one.
"I slept so well, thank you, little Lorraine~" The black-haired girl made a brisk voice and walked around in small steps where the girl was, full of curiosity and agility.
"Who are you?" Looking at this special black cat girl, Lorraine Hill vaguely guessed the other person's identity, but was not sure.
"I am Luria, the cat witch~"
The girl turned around, pressed her chest lightly with her hand, and introduced herself.
The ancient cat witch, the ever curious and young black cat, the powerful and changeable cat, this is how the cat witch talks about her abilities.
"I know all the legends and abilities about cats." The witch said happily.
Compared with other witches who have a single power related to a certain concept, the powers of this witch are all related to cats, diverse yet unified.
"For example, cats are liquid and can pass through a small space, so I can do it too." After saying that, she easily came to the window sill, jumped over the window that only opened a crack, and stood there.
He walked outside the window sill and waved to Lorraine Hill.
"And cats can make people happy, so I can do that too."
With that said, the witch returned to the room easily, jumped in front of Lorraine Hill, picked up the girl's hands, and held them together.
"Isn't this a lot happier~"
Although he had the urge to laugh, Lorraine Hill still endured it and nodded: "I seem to be a lot happier."
"La la la, of course, I am the cutest cat." The witch spun around in a circle and made a scissor hand gesture to Lorraine Hill.
"But, there are also some abilities that are of little use."
"For example?" Lorraine Hill was curious.
"For example, when you fall from a height, you always hit the ground feet first."
"This is not bad, at least I'm not afraid of falling." Lorraine Hill covered his mouth and chuckled.
"But there are also many powerful abilities. For example, walking and moving can eliminate all sounds and fluctuations, making it undetectable."
"Cats are born assassins~"
"It seems like this." Lorraine Hill recalled the early morning. Even he didn't notice the black cat in advance. This effect was almost the same as that of the Hidden Witch back then, but Lulia's ability was only for herself.
Effective and cannot interfere with other things.
"Yeah." Seeing how Lorraine Hill understood her without having to explain, Lulia was obviously very happy.
"Lolan is indeed a good person and a friend you can make friends with." She said her judgment.
"So, I decided to agree to Tidaisi's request and come to help you."
"Ah, then you came before?"
"I told Tidais to come and take a look first. I didn't say that I would definitely help. Cats will only help friends they like." Luria said that as a black cat, she is free, and even Tidais can't give orders.
she.
"It seems like this." Lorraine Hill was secretly glad that he was recognized by the cat witch.
After that, the two sat on the edge of the bed and chatted for a few words before going downstairs together.
"The cat is hungry and wants to eat. Lorraine will take me there." The black cat-like witch wanted to see if there was any fresh food nearby.
"Let's eat..." Lorraine Hill carefully recalled what good restaurants there were in Falfna. In fact, she didn't live here long.
"Then let's go to that house."
A special restaurant appeared in the girl's mind. The fat dragon holding a round belly on the sign was very cute.
After changing into travel clothes, Lorraine Hill was about to take Lulia out, but was stopped by this person again.
"Put this on first~" Lulia took out a white cat ear headband in her hand. It had beautiful white cat ears on it, which was very cute.
"This..." Lorraine Hill took a few steps back and looked at Lulia with a little fear, feeling something was wrong.
Although she likes cats, it doesn't mean that she wants to be a cat.
"This is a prop I asked Tidais to make. It can hide your appearance and presence. Don't worry, others can't see the cat ears." Luria introduced proudly.
"Lolan is a big celebrity in the South. You don't want to be recognized while eating on the street." Lulia held up the white cat-ear headband and cheerfully persuaded the shy sage girl, step by step.
Come closer.
"But, but..." Although he knew that Tidaisi's props did have such an effect, Lorraine Hill was still a little shy.
"But Lorraine is really cute." Unknowingly, Lulia came behind the girl and put the white cat-ear headband on Lorraine Hill's head.
"Great! It would be better if it had a tail." Lulia said something outrageous, which made Lorraine Hill nervous.
"Tail is definitely not okay." She raised her hands and crossed them.
"Okay, but cat ears seem to be enough." Lulia circled around Lorraine Hill a few times, with a happy smile on her face, and even her tail behind her kept wagging, with a white
The bow is dangling here and there, making people want to grab it and try to figure out whether it is a real tail or something else.
"Let's go downstairs."
After preparing their equipment for going out, the two witches finally walked down the stairs.
Lorraine Hill put on a comfortable dress today. It was pure white in color and had pleated floral decorations on it, but they were all white. This was originally her daily dress, but it was more girlish, but not
After I put on that headband today, it seemed to fit surprisingly well.
The two walked on the street, Luria in front and Lorraine Hill behind. The former looked at the surrounding buildings and streets with curiosity, asking the girl various questions.
Most of the buildings in Falfna, a city on the top of a mountain, are made of stone, but there are also some dark brown woods in the structure. It does not look monotonous. Except for the main road, which is paved with smooth bricks and stones, the other streets
There are many ups and downs, and most of them are steps.
Lulia wore small leather shoes and jumped down the steps easily. Occasionally she would stop and look at the courtyard lawn behind the black iron fence on the street, asking where Lorraine Hill was.
"Most of these courtyards used to be the residences of the great nobles of the Southern Territory." Lorraine Hill came to Lulia's side, raised his pure white sleeves, and introduced the courtyard in front of her that had people coming and going from time to time.
“Nowadays, many office spaces have been converted into ‘drywood’ offices because they are really spacious and convenient.”
"Oh, that's it. Lorraine is very powerful, but Lulia can't do this." The cat witch's eyes looked excitedly and enviously at the Fairy Wood members wearing white robes on the street.
.
"Lullia used to want to establish an organization that worships cats, but she never could recruit enough people, and then she simply gave up."
"It's very difficult and troublesome to manage everyone. Everyone is not happy, so Lulia can't do it." The cat witch's voice lowered, and the ears and tail on her head drooped, making people feel pitiful.
"Don't worry, it will definitely become easier in the future, and you can do it easily." Lorraine Hill thought of the many 'shit shovels' he had seen in his previous life, and thought about the scene Lulia was looking forward to, which would definitely happen one day in the future.
accomplish.
"Really? Lorraine is not trying to comfort me. In fact, Lulia is not that fragile. I am a very powerful cat." As she spoke, the cat witch recovered quickly.
"No, I really believe that day will come." Lorraine Hill nodded firmly.
When productivity was underdeveloped, just living took up most of people's energy and time, and naturally they had no chance to develop and pursue various hobbies.
But this situation will gradually change, and the future will become more and more colorful. Every idea that just flashes through your mind will be perfected by someone, creating all kinds of interesting stories and wonderful worlds you want to see.
.
"So, I think there will be more and more people who admire and like cats." Lorraine Hill took Lulia's hand, and the two of them walked towards the turning point of the street.
The clear fountain is in the middle of the street. The pleasant sound of water and moist breath nourish the sight and hearing of the people around you, so that even if you are in this city in the mountains, you will not feel too boring and monotonous.
"We'll be here in a short while." Lorraine Hill led Lulia to the street on one side, and then raised his hand to point to the big sign in the distance.
The dark brown wooden board is the base, and there is a dragon-shaped signboard on it. This dragon has light red scales, has small wings, a wide and round belly, and spits fire from its mouth. It looks a bit cute and mighty.
"Fire Dragon Hulu" restaurant, a famous southern chef will show you the blazing and fiery dragon flames.
The signboard and slogan of this restaurant are very famous, and it can be said to be the most unique restaurant in Falfna.
"I smell a nice fragrance, what do they do?" Lulia walked towards the restaurant like a light bound, as if she wanted Lorraine Hill behind her to go faster.
"He specializes in baking. It is said that one of the chefs is the fire dragon, and his dragon knight is the chef and owner of the restaurant." Lorraine Hill slowly walked up the stairs, recalling the rumors in Falfnan
statement.
"It is said that one time when they were clearing out the monsters, the fire dragon killed the huge monster boar with its dragon breath. As a result, it emitted a particularly pleasant fragrance, and the companions and local residents also expressed their feelings about that day afterwards.
I’m full of praise for the roasted wild boar, it doesn’t have the usual smell and is extremely delicious.”
"so?"
"So the dragon knight began to occasionally repeat this behavior when clearing out monsters. He gradually mastered the skills with his partner, the fire dragon, and finally opened this restaurant by himself."
"It sounds like I'm appetizing. Hoho, Maomao is going to go on a killing spree today~" Lulia jumped up to the steps in front of the restaurant's door and made her vow today.
Looking at the active and agile figure, Lorraine Hill felt a sense of lightness, and couldn't help but think about whether he had missed something over the years.
Forget it, I still don’t want to think about it anymore, the joy of life should be so simple and pure.
