She Is Not a Witch Chapter 357: Summer Tranquility
Emenas, the Tower of Windsound.
"Ding ding dong dong——"
When the door at the bottom of the tower was pushed open, the wind chime hanging above the head made a crisp sound, which echoed in the quiet tower.
"Hello, is anyone here?"
A silver-haired figure walked into the tower and asked softly. The light voice was especially pleasant amidst the tinkling of the wind chimes.
"Aren't you there?" Lorraine Hill held the book in his hand, looked up at the spiral staircase, lifted his skirt, and walked up step by step.
This is the place where Mrs. Filia, the former singer of the Cang Dynasty, lived in the school. The lower floor of the tower is empty and has a relatively large space. It is occasionally used to practice dance and chorus for the students. The middle floors are The musical instrument room, and the upper floors are the living space of Mrs. Filia herself.
Because it is a holiday now, there are not many students in Emenas, and it has become quiet here.
The wind outside the window occasionally blows the light blue curtains, revealing the bright weather outside, and a little cicadas can be heard in the distance. Walking alone on the wooden steps, Lorraine Hill could clearly hear his own footsteps, as well as the slight vibration of the wooden boards from the bottom of his feet.
Although Lorraine Hill has graduated from Emenas for many years, the furnishings and layout here are not much different from what I remember, except that the scratches and peeling marks on the armrests touched by fingers remind This girl, time has passed slowly.
When he came to the third floor, Lorraine Hill saw a lot of musical instruments placed in the classroom. They were covered with anti-ash white cloth, and the ground was covered with thin dust. You can roughly tell which ones are pianos by their shapes. , cello, harp, and bongos etc.
Continuing to go up, the fourth floor seems to be the classroom used for lectures, but it is not big, there are only about 20 seats, which are loosely arranged, and there are two pianos in the corner, one of which is Lorraine Hill Somewhat familiar, it was the harpsichord Mrs. Filia had taught her to use.
There are very few violins like this now, and in fact, Lorraine Hill has seen them at Mrs. Filia's place.
Turning up the stairs, there is a small stage on the fifth floor, which can be used for solo performances, and there are two circles of chairs below, because the place is relatively high and the wind is strong, so the windows are closed tightly, and the air is a bit stuffy.
There is a blackboard hanging in one corner of the room, with the words 'June 12th, Song Xia performance' on it, and the name and program list below it.
——
Anna Luo's Narcissus
Zina Ya's "Moon Sonata Chapter Three"
Hunter's Gallop of Glory
Riding on the Back of a White Dragon
Difengte "The World in the Puppets' Eyes"
Holanda's "Sawlog"
…
Most of them are singing, some of them are performances. It seems to be a graduation performance at the end of a semester. Teachers will mark students according to their performance.
After turning the stairs on this floor, Lorraine Hill continued to go up to the sixth floor. This is usually the room used by Mrs. Filia to receive friends or talk with students. Unfortunately, the door is currently closed. Instead, you can see the scene inside through the window on one side.
There is a round table in the middle, half-moon sofas on both sides, and there are desks and two rows of bookshelves in the room. It doesn't look crowded.
If it goes further up, it will be the floor where Mrs. Filia lives, but Lorraine Hill noticed that there is no one on it at this time.
Then wait for a while, it is estimated that this will be out.
Before coming here, Lorraine Hill had inquired that Mrs. Filia was indeed at school at present, and she was not worried that the trip would not be in vain.
Bending over to look at the stairs, the girl blew a little dust, then sat down with her skirt on her arm, leaning slightly to one side.
The tower became quiet again, only the whirring sound of the wind rolling up the curtains could be heard.
Lorraine Hill has almost solved the problems in the empire so far, and the rest only needs to be left to them to complete.
When it's time to let go, you have to let go. Sometimes if you take too much care, you will be disgusted by others. Lorraine Hill squatted down and slowly drew circles with his fingers on the dusty ground.
She used to hate adults interfering in her life, but now that she's grown up, she naturally doesn't want to repeat the previous path.
People are very special beings. If it is not their own choice, even a good thing will become an annoying thing under the compulsory arrangement.
Now witches and sages no longer forcibly interfere with the rise and fall of power in the empire, everything will rise and fall according to the laws of nature, the old and untimely will be gradually eliminated in the tide of the times, and the new Things will naturally slowly take their place.
The fire is already ablaze, all that remains is to gradually spread to all.
There will be a selection process. One end of the scale is reality and the future, and the other end is emotion and memory. They consider and put various things until they finally reach a balance and then stabilize.
After completing his mission, Lorraine Hill returned to Emenas, the academy with many memories.
After waking up, she has experienced a lot of things. In fact, it was not a long time to be the Missy of the Chamber of Commerce in Hoplander, only half a year, and her real contact and in-depth understanding of the current world was actually completed in Emenas , and here she also met many friends and partners.
For example, former roommates, Niya, Alena, Letis, friends Bulmansha, Ye Ling, etc., and Keti, who was entrusted by Si Ye and Chris to take care of her in the second grade.
Recalling the scenes of playfulness at school, a faint nostalgia also arises in my heart.
I don't know how they are doing now, let's go to see them once in a while.
In this way, Lorraine Hill sat on the quiet stairs of the high tower, unconsciously drawing with his fingers on the floor, recalling many scenes in his mind, and time passed slowly.
The bright sunshine outside the window is gradually softening, and the sky is showing light red and lavender colors, and the wind is also slightly cooling.
"Ding ding dong dong——"
With the sound of wind chimes, the door at the bottom of the tower was pushed open, followed by the sound of upward footsteps.
Lorraine Hill raised his head, slightly smoothed the hair on the ears and forehead with his fingers, smoothed the skirt, and sat down again.
After a while, Mrs. Filia's figure appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
She looked at the silver-haired girl who was waiting for her at the end of the stairs, she was a little surprised, and she didn't speak for a while.
"Is it Lacey?"
She still called the girl by the name that the girl first introduced to her, even though she already knew that the girl had many identities.
"Yes, Teacher Filia."
Lorraine Hill stood up, bowed, and smiled.
"Why did you come here today? Really, you didn't tell me in advance. You have been waiting for a long time, you child." She still regarded this girl as her student, and then went to open the door. .
"Come on, come and sit first, I'll prepare some water and food for you."
Madam Filia opened the reception room, put down the books and documents in her hands, lit the small stove in the corner of the stage, and heated up tea.
Not long after Lorraine Hill sat down, a plate was placed in front of her, which contained peeled nuts and a few candies wrapped in colored sugar paper.
After taking off her coat, Mrs. Filia sat on the sofa opposite the girl, and this time asked about Lorraine Hill's recent situation.
"Why did you come here suddenly this time?"
"It's nothing, just come to see the teacher."
"Really? But if it's you, it's true. Lan Lier is different. Every time she comes back to me, she always asks for my help." The students were a little helpless.
However, Lorraine Hill could tell that Mrs. Filia still liked Lan Lier very much. Although Lan Lier didn't have much talent in music, she was Filia's closest and familiar student. Both of their hometowns are in Hope Laner, even after Lan Lier graduated, they often look for this teacher.
"Hehe, Senior Sister Lan Lier didn't do anything bad, she was just a little bold." Lorraine Hill said with a smile.
"It's very bold. Pulling Lingxin to catch bandits in the desert, selling the alchemy creations in the experimental stage to the chamber of commerce for concerts, and using the money invested in the music retention project by others to tinker with war machines. Everything is a knife. Dancing on the tip, I think she is the most courageous among my students." Filia said while holding her forehead.
Lorraine Hill couldn't help laughing again.
"When you come back this time, will the empire go back?" Mrs. Filia knew that this girl had done a lot of great things in the empire.
"Well, I won't be going back for the time being. Let's wait for the place to settle down. It shouldn't take a few years." Lorraine Hill recalled his estimation before leaving.
The southern border has been fully developed, and the industrial foundation and administrative foundation have been set up. In terms of playing games, it only needs to be pushed over. The remaining key is the appeasement of other regions. The direction is not wrong, but the details may vary from place to place.
"Since you said that, it should be arranged, so I won't ask any more." Mrs. Filia nodded slightly. Although she is Emenas' teacher, she is not very good at politics. Good at it, it's better not to make random suggestions in front of this student.
"Since the matter is done, let's take a break for now. These years have been turbulent, and I guess you have experienced a lot of storms."
As he spoke, the kettle in the corner of the room emitted hot steam and made a slight siren sound.
Madam Filia got up, and added tea and hot water to the cup in front of Lorraine Hill.
"Why don't you stay in Emenas for a while and have fun, maybe you can meet someone you knew before."
"Furthermore, I still need to check whether you have been neglected all these years and whether you have continued to practice. The inheritance of our diva lineage depends on you." Mrs. Filia seemed to think of something .
"Hey, but, I've already graduated." Lorraine Hill felt a little bad.
"Yes, I have indeed graduated, but this does not affect your continued study. In fact, I still have a lot to teach you. If you don't study hard, some things will be lost."
"Well, Teacher Filia, you should have a lot of students. In fact, there is no need to teach it to one person. The other seniors and seniors are also good at learning." The girl tried to get away with it.
"It's different. Although they are all my students, you are from the inheritance school, so you need to learn more." Mrs. Filia's words seemed irrefutable.
"Well, okay." It seems that this holiday will not be boring.
As it was getting late, Mrs. Filia left Lorraine Hill behind, made a delicious pie dinner, and then arranged a room for her on the floor where she lived.
"Let's live here for a while."
The summer vacation has begun.
During the time when most of the students go home, Emenas is quite quiet. In the morning, Lorraine Hill will practice some musical instruments and tunes under the guidance of Mrs. Filia, and in the afternoon in Emena Sne walks.
After many years, she came to the Jingyue Lake of the Walled City College again, walked in the woods path by the lake, slowly climbed up the mountain path, and then went to the Black Swan Castle to see the former club Even if the door is locked during the holidays, it can't stop this girl who can turn wind.
In the room of the club, the decoration has changed a lot, and it seems to be more formal. There is a potted water lily on the president's table inside, and there are black lotuses blooming in it. variety with an exceptionally long flowering period.
Hands lightly stroked the chairs and tabletops in the room. Although there have been many changes here, some of the past furniture are still preserved.
I remember that in the summer before, they would spread mats in the club room, and everyone would sit on the mats and play chess games ~IndoMTL.com~ or take a nap, especially Ye Ling, who likes to lie down with a small pillow There, when she woke up occasionally, she also played cards or chess with Lily, and Bu Mansha would prepare some iced fruits and snacks in the small room beside her.
Ledis didn't come here many times, but she also gave them an alchemy equipment that can be refrigerated, and put it next to the window. Although Aliena often quarreled with Letis, she liked this thing very much. , Every time you come, you have to look and see.
The picture in his mind turned, and Lorraine Hill stroked the inconspicuous scratch on the wall with his fingers, recalling the scene at that time.
It seemed that there were bees in the room. Lily stepped on Ye Ling's thigh while catching the bees, and then the two little guys bumped into each other, and then they started fighting again.
The night spirit is still the same size as before, but Lily is now a mature mother.
After turning these thoughts, Lorraine Hill came to the small room at the back. In the past, this was the room where Bu Mansha prepared snacks and snacks, but now it has been changed to a medal storage place.
One trophy after another, as well as the roster of outstanding graduates and the closet where the records of awards are placed here, are neatly decorated, and there seems to be a faint sense of pride.
‘These juniors~IndoMTL.com~ still care about these things. ’Looking at these things, Lorraine Hill smiled, but did not mean to blame.
But when he saw the top column of the closet, Lorraine Hill couldn't help laughing.
There is a big portrait there, the girl inside is wearing a black and red rose dress, sitting behind the table, with her hands gently sideways in front of her body, she has long black hair and really red eyes Hitomi seemed to have a slight solemnity, like a princess or queen looking forward, which made people feel respectful.
I don't know which student or painter made this painting, but it is really surprising that it can have such a charm. The only thing I don't think it looks like is probably the girl standing under the portrait.
["The founder of the Black Water Lily Society", the senior Lorraine we admire and follow. ——Keep in mind your own nobility and elegance, and don't go with the flow and go with the flow. ]
"Ahem, cough, did I really say this, or did they change it based on the general meaning?" Lorraine Hill couldn't help rubbing his forehead.
