“……”

"You mean, you're going to my house?"

Stunned, Ronald pointed at himself with his finger, and then asked cautiously:

"I can't be mistaken, can I?"

The Great Witch shook her head with a smile and said:

"I mean really."

"Their meaning is very clear, that is, they want you to promise me not to do anything out of the ordinary in Springs, and I am fully able to understand and accept such a request."

Then you won't live with me, will you?

Ronald swallowed, his brain spinning, and he thought about how to refuse it.

Although he joined the [Book Research Society], he has no intention of working to such a point, and living with someone of the status of the Great Witch will be fun if there is an accident.

Still standing in front of Ronald with a steady expression, the Great Witch continued to smile and say:

"Mr. Ronald, you don't have to be too nervous."

"At least in Springs, I wouldn't do anything dangerous, and I want to live with you just because it's rare to have direct communication with someone who owns books."

"We can share some knowledge with each other, if you want."

“……”

"Okay then."

After a moment of silence, Ronald finally nodded in agreement.

Although he didn't understand the real purpose of the other party, the sharing of knowledge was indeed something that moved him.

As the leader of a mystical organization, the Great Witch is definitely the ideal person to communicate with in terms of knowledge and information.

"I'm glad you agreed to this proposal."

Hearing Ronald's answer, the big witch bowed slightly, and then smiled and handed over a ring:

"You can take this first."

Ronald took the ring and gave him a curious look.

"...... this?"

The Great Witch smiled:

"It's a little prop I made, and the two people who carry it are able to pinpoint each other's positions through the ring."

"Of course, there is a certain distance limit for this."

“……”

Ronald nodded silently, then tried to infuse the ring with magic.

Soon, he felt a sense of connection come over him, and the target was the great witch in front of him.

After a very casual conversation, the two men stopped the carriage and headed to the riverbank where Ronald lived.

However, on the way out, the Great Witch's gaze still skimmed back from time to time.

That direction.

It is No. 1 Crown Road, where [Tianhai Palace] is located.

————

Returning to the riverbank without any interruption, the two of them disembarked and stopped on the side of the street where the apartment was located.

Turning her gaze to look around, the Great Witch sighed again:

"It's been so long since I've said goodbye here."

"Everything else is changing, but the Vis River has always maintained its appearance."

Ronald nodded slightly:

"It's really growing fast, and there's a lot of new technology in the city, but it doesn't seem like there's any plan to clean up the river."

“……”

Hearing such an answer, the great witch was rarely stunned.

Turning her head and looking at Ronald in front of her seriously, her tone suddenly became a little complicated:

"Mr. Ronald, do you know anything about these aspects as well?"

Ronald nodded generously and replied:

"I'm just interested, so I just learned a little bit."

The Great Witch was silent again.

After a few breaths, she replied in a rather serious tone:

"Mr. Ronald, there aren't many people on the mystical side who care about this like you, especially those who own books."

From picking people up at the train station to now, Ronald also has a general understanding of the way the big witch speaks.

So without care, he shook his head:

"Living in a city like this, I think it's better to know these things."

"And in my opinion, it's not just Springs."

"One day in the future, maybe the whole world will follow this path, and it is not certain that understanding these things will become common sense for people at that time."

“……”

As soon as the words came out, Ronald felt that the atmosphere between the two became delicate.

It didn't seem quite like what he thought.

After hearing this, the Great Witch's expression became uncontrollably lost.

Look......

It's as if Ronald just said something very important.

But soon, the mysterious side of the original canon holder adjusted his state, and then bowed slightly to Ronald and said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ronald, I was a little out of shape just now."

"At this age, as a person who is exposed to a lot of things and has to be responsible for them, it is inevitable that I still feel a little emotional."

Seeing the big witch bowing her head to herself and apologize, Ronald hurriedly waved his hand and replied:

"No, no, no, it's me who was too reckless."

"Those were just my own speculations, and they didn't mean anything else, I hope you don't get me wrong."

“……”

Hearing Ronald's answer, the Great Witch glanced up at him, and then showed a smile full of meaning:

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

“……”

Ronald nodded slightly, and then led the way into the apartment.

It's this afternoon, the landlady is going to school, and most of the other residents are not at home. Looking around, all you can see is an old man in charge of security sitting in the courtyard and a few children still playing.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong here, Ronald immediately pointed to the spiral staircase leading upstairs, and then said to the Great Witch:

"What do you think of here, Ms. Teresa?"

“……”

The Great Witch didn't answer Ronald in the first place.

Instead, she walked calmly into the courtyard and closed her eyes gently.

"Hmmm......"

Against the backdrop of the Great Witch's movements, an imperceptible breeze blew around the apartment.

In Ronald's view, this scene is a powerful spell caster checking the environment. The power of the spell that reverberated throughout the space spread almost like a plough with the breeze, and then gradually faded into nothingness.

Ronald was very skeptical.

Under the loose robe of the Great Witch, those hidden hands.

Maybe she is holding the original book that belongs to her at this moment!

At the same time, this scene did not arouse suspicion at all in the eyes of others.

Take, for example, these ordinary people in an apartment.

When the breeze formed by the mana blew, they all maintained their movements, completely unaware of the change in their environment.

In this way, the formless and qualitative 'wind' finally faded completely.

And after confirming the environment of the apartment.

The Great Witch turned to Ronald and smiled slightly, and said her decision:

"As a new visitor......

"I hope Mr. Ronald, you can help me get a suitable rental price."
