"Muq, so noisy …"
Patrice closed the book and sat on the balcony. She frowned and looked at the garden outside.
"So noisy, I can't concentrate on my book."
In the garden, Yui, Fran, Orange Meow, Little North, Misaka, and the four Nagas were having a snowball fight.
Yesterday's banquet, these kids had already gone crazy. Why are they still so energetic on the first day of the new year?
"Well, it's the new year after all. It doesn't matter if the kids are happy, Patrice -sama."
Naga walked up with a tray and gently placed the black tea on the table in front of Patrice.
"Where's Remy?"
"Miss is sleeping."
Sleeping? It's almost noon.
But Remy is a Vampire. It's normal for her to sleep during the day.
"If Remy is sleeping, why is Fran so energetic? She's becoming less and less like a Vampire. "
Patrice couldn't help but sigh as the children's laughter echoed in her ears.
"Really, Muq …"
"Hehe …"
Naga looked at the impatient Patrice and couldn't help but laugh.
"Patrice -sama, you don't mean what you say."
"Shut up!"
Patrice glared at Naga and lowered her head to taste the black tea.
"Ah, it's Master Yakumo!"
Patchouli, who had her head lowered, suddenly heard Nighteye say this.
Raising his head, he saw that Eight Cloud Ink had appeared out of nowhere and was sitting across from him.
"You rascal, you're already as elusive as your sister."
Patrice rolled her eyes.
"Can you appear in a normal way next time?"
"Hmm? Such a method is only normal for demons. "
Eight-cloud Ink smiled as she took the black tea from Naga.
"It tastes pretty good. Is it made from the snow on the first day of the new year?"
"As expected of Master Yakumo."
Naga smiled as she leaned forward.
"This is made from the snow on the fruit trees in the courtyard and Master Patrice's Crabapple Flower."
"Crabapple Flower? Sister Muq, did you succeed in experimenting with the exotic flowers? "
Eight-cloud Ink asked in surprise.
In the past year, Patrice had spent almost half of her time trying to cultivate a new type of Magic Medicine Flower and it seemed like she had succeeded.
"Ah, that one was a success. Yonglin of the Eight Wills has already asked me for quite a bit to refine medicine."
Patrice smiled complacently at the mention of Tangerine Flower.
"You're not here to care about this, are you?"
"Of course not. I'm actually here to call Yui and the others home for dinner. No matter what, it's a little inappropriate to run around on the first day of the New Year."
"Tsk …"
Patrice didn't comment on Eight-cloud Ink's reason.
The Yagun family's doting daughter was already famous in Fantasy Village. Now, the entire Fantasy Village knew that Yui and the other children could not be provoked.
Fortunately, the little ones knew their limits. Even if it was a prank, it was just a harmless joke.
Even Delicate Fragrance maintained the greatest tolerance for Yui and the others who broke into her flower field. She just taught them a lesson and threw them out.
"Speaking of which, how's your deep-sea habitat?"
"Hmm?"
Eight-cloud Ink looked at Patrice doubtfully.
Why was she suddenly interested in that matter?
"Don't misunderstand. I just happened to discover something interesting."
Patrice raised her right hand and started to condense mana in her palm.
Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, Earth, Sun, and Moon. Seven types of mana started to condense.
"What did you discover?"
Carefully sensing the mana condensed by Patrice, Eight-cloud Ink suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Why is the mana of Fire, Water, and Earth so strange?"
Dispersing the seven types of mana in her palm, Patrice looked at the Builder Tree in the distance thoughtfully.
"I also discovered it by accident when I was cultivating the Crabapple Flower. The magic of fire, water, and earth has become more active than the magic of the other elements. In addition, the extended variant — wind, is also very active."
"This phenomenon wasn't obvious at first, but after the banquet ended last night, at the moment of the handover between last year and this year, this phenomenon began to become obvious. Now, there should be others who have noticed it."
Eight-cloud Ink said in a deep voice, "This year is the year of Moon, Winter, and Water. If it's because of the year, then the activity of Water makes sense. As for Earth —"
Eight-cloud Ink followed Patrice's gaze and looked at the Builder Tree.
"— Perhaps it's because of the Builder Tree."
"Then what about Fire?"
Patrice smiled and looked at Eight-cloud Ink.
"How do you explain this?"
Eight-cloud Ink smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Don't make it difficult for me. Sister Muq, you know I'm not good at this. Do you know?"
"Unfortunately, I don't know either."
"Let's hope … nothing bad happened."
Eight-cloud Ink said unhurriedly.
Unfortunately, Patrice immediately shattered Eight-cloud Ink's fantasy.
"I'm sorry, but something has happened."
Patrice extended her right hand and pointed at a corner of the garden. She had the expression of a researcher who saw something novel.
Eight-cloud Ink looked over and cried out in surprise.
In the corner of the garden, space began to distort. The three elements of Fire, Earth, and Water seemed to be on the verge of going berserk.
However, the berserk elements seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and could only surge in a small area.
"When?!"
"Just now. Not long after you arrived."
Zuo Ye immediately flashed and appeared in the garden, stopping the little guys who were about to step forward out of curiosity.
When Patrice and Eight-cloud Ink arrived, the berserk elements began to combine and finally formed a magic array.
"I've never seen a magic array like this before."
Patrice pushed up her glasses and tried to analyze the magic array before her.
"Hmm, although it's novel, its composition isn't that brilliant."
Patrice lived up to her reputation as a Magician of Seven Luminaries. It didn't take her long to analyze the magic array before her.
"There are many places where elements are wasted."
Unlike Patrice, Eight-cloud Ink sensed an aura from the magic array before her that she had never felt before.
It was another world.
"Sister Muq, can you deduce the function of this magic array?"
Eight-cloud Ink began to distort the surroundings to prevent anything strange from drilling out of the magic array.
"It seems to be a summoning magic array."
"Summoning? No one here uses summoning spells. "
Patrice shook her head and said, "I didn't say I'm summoning anything. This magic array is a reverse summoning."
Reverse summoning?
"You mean … someone wants to summon something from our side?"
"Well, that's roughly it. From the composition of this magic array, the other world shouldn't pose any threat to us. After all, the flaws of this magic array are too great."
Patrice said with disdain.
"However, it's fine to treat it as a new experience. Perhaps it's an interesting world."
Patrice stepped onto the magic array under Eight-cloud Ink's astonished gaze.
"Sister Muq!"
"Madam Patrice!"
The magic array emitted a dazzling light as though it wanted to take Patrice away from this world.
"Don't worry. I've recorded the spatial coordinates of the Fantasy Paradise. You can come back anytime."
Although Patrice said so, the worried Eight-cloud Ink still dashed forward the moment the magic array disappeared.
[Since Sister Muq said she can come back anytime, I'd better follow her.]
Soon after, Eight-cloud Ink and Patrice disappeared.
