Chapter 2583 The Hiraga Family's Floating Island and Chain Company!
Chapter 2583 The Hiraga Family's Floating Island and Chain Company!
The July morning light shone through the large glass window.
It gently falls on an island that floats above the sea.
This floating island is like a tranquil and elegant courtyard left behind by the gods on earth.
A magnificent castle estate stands majestically on the island.
Every detail of the manor exudes an ancient aristocratic style.
Carved stone pillars, shimmering glass, meticulously manicured lawns and gardens.
Everything speaks to the owner's refined taste.
This is the home where Louise, Hiraga Saito, their mother Lady Karina, their eldest sister Katria, their second sister Eleonor, and Hiraga Masato all lived.
The construction costs of this valuable floating island and its castle estate are considerable.
All of this was undertaken by Mrs. Karina on her own.
This cost her almost all of her savings, as she had already divorced the Duke of Valier.
But since we've already decided to settle down in Haixing, it's worth it.
However, this strong woman is the leader of the Wind Elf Knights of the Mage Association.
I hardly ever have time to come back.
This is also true of Eleonor, the second sister who is dedicated to research at the Magic Academy.
The island was peaceful around six o'clock in the morning.
Only the early birds chirped softly outside the window.
At that moment, Shesta, who was the head maid, arrived at the bedroom door on time, just like every other day.
She gently pushed open the heavy oak door.
Even in the bright indoor light, you can see tiny dust particles slowly drifting around.
Shesta's gaze then fell on the magnificent four-poster bed in the center.
Hiraga Saito was sleeping sprawled out, a lewd smile on his lips, seemingly having a lewd dream.
Louise, meanwhile, was curled up, her long pink hair spread out on the pillow like silk, her sleeping face as peaceful as a delicate doll.
A hint of envy flickered in Shesta's eyes, but a gentle smile spread across her face.
She walked slowly to the bedside, leaned down slightly, and softly called out in her clear voice:
"Good morning, Miss Louise, Mr./Ms. Saijin."
"It's already six o'clock, time to get up, wash up, and prepare for breakfast."
Her voice, like a drop of water falling into a still lake, gently broke the silence in the bedroom.
Cai Ren opened his eyes groggily, his vision gradually clearing from blurry.
Shesta's gentle, smiling face came into view.
Good morning, Shesta.
His voice still carried a heavy sleepiness, but he still habitually said good morning.
Turning his head, his gaze fell on Louise, who was still lost in a dream beside him.
She curled up, her petite body undulating, her breathing even and deep. A few strands of pink hair clung to her slightly flushed cheeks, making her look exceptionally serene and adorable.
A doting yet tender smile appeared on Cai Ren's face.
He lowered his voice as if afraid of disturbing some fragile treasure.
“She’s been busy with the construction of the dojo these past few days, so let her get some more sleep since she’s exhausted.”
Then I thought of that lively and active little figure at home.
"Where is Yajin?"
"Is that kid still sleeping in?"
Hearing the mention of this young master, Shesta's smile softened even more.
She replied softly, "Young Master Yaren is much more diligent than you."
"He got up by himself and went outside to exercise just as dawn was breaking."
"He's currently practicing swordsmanship with Mr. Drufflinger."
Under the morning sun.
At just four years old, the boy with pink hair and black eyes was dressed in a well-fitting training uniform, his little hands tightly gripping a custom-made wooden sword.
He was sparring with a middle-aged man with short blond hair and a sharp tailcoat on the lawn in front of the castle.
The latter is none other than Drufflinger, the 'Sword of Wisdom' who possesses a human form through the artificial Human-Human Fruit.
Hiraga Saito appointed him as a butler in ordinary times, and summoned him to his side whenever battle was needed.
At this moment, the little guy was unusually focused, and he uttered a soft, childish sound as he vigorously swung the wooden sword in his hand to attack Drufflinger.
But his movements were not random slashes; they carried a unique rhythm and trajectory.
Between those skillfully executed moves, illusory white snake shadows danced, and the path of the blade meandered and twisted.
"Serpent's Breath, Second Form: Narrow-Headed Venomous Fang!"
"Serpent's Breath - Third Form: Nest Sting!"
Drufflinger calmly dealt with the child's attack, his eyes constantly observing every detail of the other person.
"When drawing the sword in the second form, lower your wrist by two inches."
"A snake's fangs should be hidden deeper; you've made too much noise."
Watch your pace.
"The third form, Nest Sting, should be like a coiled python, and should be combined with the slashing strikes in your hand."
His instructions rang out from time to time.
Strict yet patient.
Inside the castle.
After washing up and putting on casual clothes, Hiraga Saito arrived at the restaurant.
He saw his mother and 'elder sister' Katria already sitting at the table enjoying breakfast prepared by the maids.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they sat down and looked at the virtual screen projected onto the air by the Den Den Mushi.
The scene is set somewhere in the summer area of the Paradise of Reincarnation.
Inside a gloomy Japanese-style wooden house.
Tiffany and Brian battle against various monsters.
In the upper right corner, you can also see their total points and current ranking.
1468 points, ranked 89st.
This immediately relieved Hiraga Saito.
With less than three hours left in the qualifying rounds, they should be able to advance smoothly to the main tournament.
Today is July 4th.
The moment to decide who will make it into the 'Top 100' is approaching.
"Tiffany and Mr. Brian have indeed become much stronger in the past four years."
It's worth noting that they only came in 147th place last year.
However, in terms of changes, I have actually changed quite a bit myself.
He is now not only a weapons tester at the Academy of Sciences.
His swordsmanship has also reached the level of a beginner sixth-dan swordsman.
Even without 'Druflinger', he's still a pretty good player.
In addition, he also learned magic.
Unfortunately, he had terrible talent in this area, and it took him a lot of effort to finally master one skill.
Displacement magic.
This is one of the 'Type-Moon Magic' that Merlin provided to the Magicians' Guild.
It's still a basic magic trick for beginners.
The effect is a simple physical phenomenon swap, which can manipulate slight spatial orientation changes.
To put it simply, it's about exchanging things.
For example, if he has a spoon, he can use it to exchange for a toothbrush in the bathroom.
Although the magic trick didn't look very impressive, Hiraga Saito had already figured out how to use it.
Besides.
He also started a company.
Their main business is running a chain of magic shops, selling magic potions, magical items, and magical pets.
After all, to make life better, you definitely need to earn money.
Fortunately, Queen Henrietta in the Zero Magic World supports various sources of goods.
Needless to say, the situation is even worse for the starfish.
Tristain Magic Academy, the Magicians' Association, and the Magic Academy all have their own people.
There is also a Water Sprite Knight Adventure Team led by Reinal.
This made his company's business quite successful.
They are now preparing to open their third store in the 'Seven Waters City'.
"How's Louise's dojo doing?"
"Big Sister" Katalia asked curiously.
She was a teacher at the magic academy, so it was difficult for her to keep up with these things often.
Hiraga Saito thought for a moment and said, "I heard it's almost done, but the interior decoration will take a few more days."
Louise had previously considered building it directly on the island, which would not only be convenient for her but also provide ample space.
However, considering the desire to host challengers in the future.
It's not appropriate to let outsiders come and go from my home, so I had to give up on that idea.
A huge thank you to Molotov Cocktail Alliance Leader for the 4500 Qidian Coins donation! Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!
