The Dean Has Arrived

I don’t know if it is to increase the difficulty of the enemy attack or to promote commercial prosperity or other reasons. The mountain roads in this city are not the kind of road leading directly to the college, but every time you climb a large step with streets around the ring, you have to Walk up the street for a while to find the stairs leading to the next big step.

But this approach is only for those outsiders or those who are not familiar with the terrain.

In many small alleys, there are various emergency ladders or walkways that can be quickly moved up and down. In order to be able to get to the guests as soon as possible to complete the dean’s orders, Alice uses the advantage of being very familiar with the terrain because of her frequent purchases. Rushed down the mountain at the fastest speed.

As a result, when she finally arrived, she was told by the mage who stayed on the magic ship that Mrs. Sharon and her party had left.

"How does little Alice feel so depressed?" When the girl was walking down the street in frustration and thinking about what to do next, the aunt in the small shop she frequented on the street greeted her: "Here There are freshly baked croquettes, take some and eat."

"Huh? But I didn't bring any money..." Alice said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, just remember to continue patronizing our small store in the future." The aunt smiled gently: "And we don't want to see little Alice's bitter face, hurry up!"

"Well, thank you, auntie." Seeing the caring faces of people in the shops around, Alice felt warm and involuntarily smiled.She took the paper bag handed out by her aunt, and after bowing to them, she cheered up and ran to the upper step.

Since I missed the guests at the beginning, can I just go outside the college and wait for them to come?

It's a bit rude, but it's better than keeping the guests waiting.

At least Alice thought so.

But after running up a few large steps, she stopped.

On the street not far from her, a little girl with silver hair in a small mage robe was looking around in distress.

Although Alice didn't dare to say that she recognized all the students in the college, it was impossible for her to have no impression of such a conspicuous little guy.In other words, the other party is definitely not a student of the college.

So, is it a little girl who has separated from her own adult, or has accidentally lost her way?

Obviously, I shouldn't be nosy now. Before the guests arrive outside the academy, they must wait there earlier.

but……

Looking at the poor silver-haired little girl who looked only eight or nine years old there, Alice bit her lip, and then walked up quickly as if she had decided something.

"Little sister, are you lost?" She called the little girl alone.

However, the silver-haired little girl did not answer, but took a step back like a cat fearful of birth, showing extremely alert eyes.

Alice scratched her cheek with a wry smile, and then suddenly remembered that she still had a paper bag in her hand.

"Don't be afraid, big sister will ask you to eat croquette~" So she opened the paper bag and seduced the little girl with the smell of meat coming out of it.

"Sylvey said...you can't eat strangers." The little girl stared at Alice blankly, but her secretly swallowing movements could not hide Alice's eyes.

Huhuhu~ Aunt Miya's croquettes are delicacy-level delicacies, hurry up and drop your vigilance!

While Alice unconsciously used a trafficker's tone deep in her heart, she continued to smile and said: "Then my name is Alice, Alice Bennings, how about you?"

"Tio Scanji.

"Well, then we are not strangers, right, Tio?" Alice looked at the cuteness of the little girl secretly swallowing, and smiled and passed the paper bag to Tio.

Tio hesitated, and finally took the paper bag.

But she did not rush to eat the croquette, but asked Alice strangely: "Why?"

Although Tio's words sounded boring at first, Alice understood what she meant-why did she come over and talk to her.

While lamenting the increasing vigilance of recent children, Alice also said with some embarrassment: "Because I feel that you are very upset here...I think there is no reason to help others, right? ?"

Tio stared at Alice's face for a long time, and when the latter was a little uncomfortable, she lowered her head and took a bite of the croquette.

"good to eat."

"Right, right~" Although Tio's voice was so slight that it would be ignored if he was not paying attention, Alice still caught it very carefully, and her smile became more brilliant: "Aunt Mia's craftsmanship is absolutely Trustworthy~"

Tio took another bite of the croquette, then looked up at Alice, and then whispered, "We are separated from Sevi."

Siwei?The child mentioned this name just now, so it should be her guardian... Well, it sounds like a male name, but the father wouldn’t use his name directly, so it’s her brother?No, I always think Tio's attitude is a little strange when I say it's my brother...

Alice's mind seemed to be unable to organize too complicated information, and soon became a little dizzy.

So she decided to solve the problem in a more direct way.

"All in all, let's find Sivi together." She touched Tio's little head: "You must also want to see him, right?"

The little girl nodded, then thought for a moment, and continued: "Alisa."

A new name appeared, it should be a girl's name.

In other words, are you looking for a man and a woman this time?

"Well, I know." Alice patted her bulging chest, and said confidently to Tio: "Relax, this is like my home, and I can definitely help you find Sevi and Ai. Lisa’s."

"...Well." The little girl finally nodded and stretched out a greasy hand to Alice.

Then the two girls, one big and one little, walked around the street to find people.

"Tio!" Xiwei hugged the little girl: "Where did you go? I'm worried to death!"

After all, it was he who brought Tio out of Noege and made such a promise that if something happened to the little girl when she really came out, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Alisha looked at Tio with envious eyes, and kept saying, "Just come back."

"Sevi... I'm sorry." Tio apologized softly, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and got out of Sevi's arms, pointing to Alice standing aside and looking at them with a smile: "Alice helps me find you guys."

Sivi looked up at the girl in the maid costume. Although she didn't know the identity of the other party, from what Tio said, she might have done a lot.

So he also simply thanked him: "Thank you very much for your help." He also planned to give out a few gold coins as reward.

But Alice hurriedly waved her hand: "No need, I just helped according to my own wishes."

After speaking, the girl's face suddenly became a little ugly.Now she suddenly remembered that she still had nothing to do.

"What's wrong?" Xiwei asked strangely.

"Hug, sorry, I'm still in a hurry, I have to go!" Before Sylvey could ask why she came, Alice ran away.

"The badge on that girl..." I didn't say a word from the beginning, just standing not far away watching Sevi and their Evangeline looking in the direction Alice ran away, and said thoughtfully: "The above The ornamentation should be the emblem of the Huolian National Academy of Magic, right?"

"Yes." Mrs. Sharon nodded: "It seems that we will see that kind-hearted child again soon."

"Then I would like to thank you again at that time." Xiwei put the half-drawn wallet back into the bronze storage box.

Then continue to walk to the academy with everyone...
