Don't even think about someone hitting on you; not collapsing at the knees in front of Duanmu Huai is already an achievement, to say nothing of flirting–that would be a one-way ticket to death.
“The outside world really is interesting.”
All along the way, Alice Phil was also curiously looking around, just as fascinated as Mash by coffee shops, convenience stores, and the like.
“Have you never been out before?”
“To my shame, ever since I was created, I have always lived in the Einzbern Castle… It's located deep in the mountains with nothing around…”
It seemed this was similar to Chaldea. Do magicians all prefer these secluded places? And what about cultivators?
However, Duanmu Huai's thoughts were soon challenged.
“Here?”
Duanmu Huai was looking at an old, seemingly abandoned commercial building in front of him. From the outside, it just seemed like a normal commercial edifice, only closed off. The streets around it were also deserted, as if the place would soon be demolished.
“Yes, right here.”
Alice Phil took out a business card and compared the address, while Medea nodded.
“I can feel it too, there's a barrier set by a magician here.”
“This really is a case of hiding in plain sight; I had thought magicians only cultivated in desolate mountains and forests.”
While Duanmu Huai was musing, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind him.
“I wish I could afford that, but unfortunately, I don't have the money.”
Hearing this voice, Duanmu Huai turned around and saw a woman dressed in an orange coat, with red hair and glasses, looking quite neat, holding a cigarette in her hand, and curiously eyeing Duanmu Huai. She first looked at Alice Phil and greeted her.
“Hello, Miss Alice Phil Von Einzbern, long time no see. I never expected you to come to the Far East. Receiving your call was quite the surprise.”
Then, the woman looked up, squinting her eyes at Duanmu Huai.
“That's indeed a memorable face… May I ask who you are…”
“Duanmu Huai.”
Duanmu Huai nodded to the woman in front of him.
“Are you Aozaki Mikan?”
“That's right, but speaking of which…”
Aozaki Mikan shifted her gaze towards Medea, and then her look slightly solidified.
“What are you?”
Although Aozaki Mikan's question seemed rather impolite, Duanmu Huai and Alice Phil could understand what she meant. Although Medea looked human on the outside, as a Heroic Spirit, she was a being formed of pure magic power. Not to mention Medea being a CASTER; any modern magician seeing her would be as shocked as a mage from the Faelun World would be at the sight of the Saintess of The Magic Goddess, a feeling that is almost unimaginable.
Not to mention Aozaki Mikan was a Crown Magician; her position at the pinnacle of magicians possibly allowed her to understand the existence of Medea before her better than anyone else could.
“This is the Heroic Spirit I summoned–Medea.”
Duanmu Huai patted Medea's shoulder and introduced her, while Aozaki Mikan looked thoughtfully at Medea, who also bowed in greeting.
“Hello, I am Medea.”
“Hmm… A Spirit Descent from the Boundary Record, huh? I've heard of it but never thought I'd actually see a completed form.”
At this point, Aozaki Mikan revealed a mocking smile.
“I'd love to see what expression the Euliphyss Ruler would have, seeing this. I wonder what that old guy would think. It's not an illusion, not a Puppet, but a real descent of a magician from the Age of God… Hmm…”
Aozaki Mikan fell silent for a moment, then extinguished the cigarette in her hand.
“Come on in.”
Led by Aozaki Mikan, Duanmu Huai and the others entered the dilapidated building and came to an office on the second floor. It was just as messy, with no signs of being related to magic; there was an office desk, chairs, a sofa, a coffee table, and an old television.
It looked just like an ordinary office.
“My charming assistant isn't around, so I'm afraid I can't offer you any tea.”
Aozaki Mikan casually threw her coat on the sofa and then sat in a chair, staring at the three guests.
“Alright, what do you three want with me? Surely you're not here to buy one of my Puppets.”
“Then I'll just get straight to the point.”
Since Aozaki Mikan wasn't one for small talk, Duanmu Huai was naturally not in the mood to waste time with pleasantries.
“In fact, we've taken in a girl with magical talent, looking for a good home for her to stay.”
“A girl with magical talent? What kind of magic attribute?”
“That I cannot say. In a nutshell, I hope to find some fellow magicians through Miss Aozaki to see if anyone is willing to adopt the child.”
“By adoption, you mean inheriting the Magic Seal, right?”
Aozaki Mikan took off her glasses, and her expression intensified as if she switched personalities, piercing Duanmu Huai with her gaze.
Duanmu Huai was unfazed by Aozaki Mikan's questioning.
“That's right.”
