Miss Witch, even if we're poor, we can't sell ourselves!

As Miya walked, she secretly glanced at the back of the black-haired girl in front of her.

The jacket hung loosely over the sweatshirt, and the sneakers made almost no sound on the cobblestones. The little blue plush octopus swayed back and forth in her pocket with each step.

Is this person really the heir to the Qianjing Group? He looks no different from an ordinary college student.

And isn't she hot, wearing so many layers?

Lu Yue, who was walking ahead, was also thinking about something.

She just entered Tsukimori University this year, majoring in game design. She originally planned to quietly make the games she loves for a few years before slowly considering her future.

As a result, her two elderly relatives would call her every few days to urge her to get back to work.

When are you coming back to take over the company?

When are you going to bring a girlfriend home to meet us?

She's only in her early twenties, ladies.

Tired of being constantly pressured, Lu Yue made up a lie, saying that she had already found a girlfriend.

When her two mothers heard that she already had a girlfriend, they were so happy they almost set off fireworks. They immediately decided to hold a family banquet, booked the entire banquet hall, and invited a bunch of relatives and acquaintances, saying that their child had finally come to her senses and they had to celebrate properly.

She just told a lie casually, but now the whole family believes it.

That's unbeatable.

There was no other way but to find someone on the street temporarily.

Her initial thought was that she could hire a witch who solicited customers on the street, someone who was good-looking and knew how to get things done, and that would be enough.

As a result, she wandered around the streets several times and saw many beautiful things, but she always felt that something was missing.

Until she turned into a small alley in the old town and saw a little girl squatting by the roadside looking at the navigation.

Her short, light golden hair was fuzzy from the sun, and she squatted there like a tiny ball, her profile outlined softly by the sunlight.

Too beautiful.

She instinctively assumed the other person was also soliciting customers on the street, but it turned out they weren't.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the person has been found, the money has been paid, and the matter is considered settled.

Thinking of this, Lu Yue turned around and glanced at Mi Ye, who was following behind her.

Miya was following along with small steps, carrying a paper bag, when she suddenly met his eyes. She paused, and her ears began to turn red at a visible speed.

The black-haired girl was a little puzzled, but she turned around and led the way, her hands in her coat pockets, her expression as indifferent as when she was at the alley entrance, as if the fact that she had turned around 10,000 Loren without even blinking was nothing.

They walked along Seventh Avenue toward downtown.

The city center of Bella Vita on a Sunday afternoon is a picture bathed in sunlight.

The glass curtain walls on both sides of the street reflected golden light, and the towering magic tower and ancient stone buildings stood side by side.

The magic-powered tram glided silently along the tracks, its body painted with a giant "GG" logo of Qianjing Group's latest game, "Witch Showdown".

The image shows two witches waving their wands, with special effects particles spilling out from the edges of the poster and dissipating into tiny specks of light in the air.

The suspended crystal ball on the central avenue slowly rotated in the afternoon sun, projecting more illusions of goods than in the morning. When Mi Ye passed by, she was almost smeared in the face by a holographic perfume guy.

She instinctively dodged to the side, her shoulder bumping into Lu Yue's arm. She quickly pulled back, but Lu Yue seemed completely unconcerned.

After walking for about ten minutes, Lu Yue stopped in front of a building.

Miya looked up, and then she stopped walking.

Before me stands an incredibly magnificent skyscraper. Its silver-white facade gleams like pearls in the sunlight, and its surface is inlaid with countless tiny magical crystals that refract different colors as the angle of the light changes, from pale gold to rose pink, from light sea blue to twilight purple. It looks like a meticulously cut gemstone standing in the heart of the city.

Above the main entrance hangs a name written in magical flames.

Yunqi Pavilion

Several hovercars, whose brands Mi Ye couldn't recall but which looked very expensive, were parked at the entrance, and uniformed waiters were opening the car doors for the guests.

"We've arrived. My family has booked the entire top floor."

As Lu Yue spoke, she pushed open the revolving door, and Mi Ye followed her into the lobby.

The lobby's dome was ridiculously high, with crystal chandeliers hanging down like an inverted Milky Way, and the marble floor beneath your feet was so smooth that you could see your reflection in it.

Mi Ye looked down and saw that her reflection and Lu Yue's reflection were standing side by side.

A child less than 1.5 meters tall wearing an oversized windbreaker like a child who had stolen an adult's clothes, and a black-haired, aloof model who looked like she had just stepped off a magazine cover.

This scene is so out of place.

The lobby elevator is a sightseeing elevator, with an entire wall made of transparent, magically reinforced glass that offers a panoramic view of the Bella Vita skyline.

Miya pressed her face against the glass, watching the street below shrink smaller and smaller, the tram turning into a thin, slowly moving silver line, and the tower of the Moon Forest appearing and disappearing in the afternoon mist in the distance.

She was engrossed in watching when the elevator doors opened with a ding.

The rooftop corridor was covered with thick carpets, which felt like walking on clouds. On the walls on both sides hung oil paintings from an unknown era, with frames edged in dark gold.

Lu Yue walked to the double carved doors at the end of the corridor. Instead of pushing them open immediately, she peered through the crack and froze.

"...What's wrong?"

Miya stood behind her, trying to stand on tiptoe to see over her shoulder, but she was too short and couldn't see anything.

"It's too mysterious."

Lu Yue shook her head, her voice as calm as ever.

"My two moms invited all my classmates and friends over. They're really something."

Before Mi Ye could say anything, Lu Yue took a deep breath, grabbed her wrist, and pushed open the door.

The banquet hall was large, but it was not as formal and dull as Mi Ye had imagined a noble banquet to be.

The crystal chandelier cast a warm yellow light, and outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows stretched the entire skyline of Bella Vita. Dusk had not yet fully descended, and the distant sky was tinged with a faint orange-pink hue.

Several round tables were scattered throughout the hall, and the tableware on the tables was already set out, with silver cutlery gleaming gently under the lights.

At one table sat several powerful-looking witches, probably Lu Yue's two mothers and their old friends. They were talking quietly with wine glasses in hand, and occasional laughter drifted over, the kind that sounded very relaxed.

The table near the floor-to-ceiling window was filled with young witches, about seven or eight of them, all students of the Moon Forest.

Some were dressed in casual clothes, while others wore the Moon Forest school badge brooch.

Several plates of delicate appetizers and juices were laid out on the table, but no one touched them; everyone was whispering among themselves.

Miya's gaze swept across the table, recognizing several faces she had seen during her visit to the Moon Forest. Then she noticed a rather conspicuous girl sitting by the window.

Rika Asaba.

The little witch was wearing a light purple knitted cardigan, her shoulder-length hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and she was holding a glass of juice, casually stirring the ice with a straw, seemingly uninterested in the hustle and bustle around her.

Then Lu Yue took Mi Ye's hand and walked up to them.

"I am coming."

A brief silence followed, then the whole table erupted.

"Wait, wait, wait—are you serious?! You really brought a girlfriend?!"

A girl with a high ponytail was the first to react, dropping her fork onto the table.

"I thought you were joking when you said in the group chat that you'd just find someone to fool your mom! You actually brought someone!"

"So tiny! So cute!!"

Another short-haired girl jumped up from her chair, ran around the table to Miya, bent down and carefully examined her face.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, those eyes, that face, they're just too cute!"

"How old are you? Are you an adult?"

"Xu Yue."

A girl wearing thin-rimmed silver glasses pushed up her lenses.

"I now reasonably suspect that you're a lolicon. You used to ignore everyone in school, but you ended up with such a cute girlfriend."

"Lolicon"

"Confirmed, he's a lolicon."

"I knew it! That's why she wasn't interested in any of the older or younger girls who were pursuing her at school. It's because they weren't short enough."

Miya stood by the table, her windbreaker hood pulled up over her head, revealing only half of her round face and a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.

She looked at the group of Moon Forest seniors, who were a head taller than her, chattering away, their eyes shining. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Lu Yue gently squeezed her fingers and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't be nervous."

So Miya took a deep breath, raised her head, and gave everyone a well-behaved smile.

Hello everyone.

This statement is like pouring a spoonful of water into a hot oil pan.

Several girls exclaimed in unison, "Even her voice is so soft!" The girl with glasses noticeably increased the frequency of adjusting her glasses, and the girl with short hair had already started taking out her phone to take a selfie with Miya.

Miya was surrounded by them, smelling a mixture of different perfume scents.

Some people complimented her hair color, some asked her what skincare products she used, and some even flipped the menu in front of her and told her to order whatever she wanted since Lu Yue would pay.

She was a little flustered, but not uncomfortable.

The feeling of being surrounded by a group of enthusiastic witches chattering away was actually a bit like when she was playing around with Korika and the others at Nightingale's Nest, only the number of people was doubled.

While answering various questions, Mi Ye secretly glanced at Lu Yue.

The black-haired girl stood at the edge of the crowd, her hands still in her pockets, her expression still indifferent.

Amidst the lively atmosphere at the table, Rika Asaba put down her juice glass.

She didn't join the others in crowding around, nor did she speak. Instead, she narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully examined the blond dwarf standing in the center of the crowd with her deep purple eyes.

The windbreaker is too big; it doesn't show my figure.

She had a round face, delicate features, and honey-colored eyes that sparkled under the light.

Rika Asaba felt like she had seen this face somewhere before.

A folder in her mind was rapidly opening.

found it.

The top trending screenshot on MikuFans shows a young maid greeting a customer.

Rika Asaba picked up the straw, stirred the ice cubes in the glass, and then a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"...This episode was amazing."

She put the straw in her mouth and muttered something under her breath.
