Soon after, what she was worried about emerged.

The next day when she was attending magic class, there was another fire in District 9.

If an emergency occurs, the balancer has the right to apply for early dismissal of get out of class.

Alice did this.

By the time she arrived at the scene, the fire had already been put out.

Fortunately, there were no casualties in this fire. Unfortunately, those towering ancient trees that had survived for hundreds of years lost signs of life in this fire.

The charred branches emitted green smoke and gave off a mushy smell.

Several balancers are cleaning up the ashes of fallen leaves.

Senior Sister Vivian was also present.

She walked up to Alice and patted her shoulder gently:

"I have reported the problem of frequent fires to the Magic Club. With the president here, I believe this matter will be investigated quickly."

She observed Alice's expression at this time, put her right hand on the girl's shoulder with a slight force, and raised a comforting arc at the corner of her mouth: "You don't have to worry too much."

The straight back did not relax, and the hands hanging by the side slowly clenched.

Alice twitched the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't smile at all:

"Thank you, team leader, for your concern! As the head of the Ninth School District, I will also work hard to assist the president in investigating this matter."

After a brief exchange, Alice waved goodbye to the group leader and prepared to rush back to the classroom for class.

Looking at the girl's retreating back, Vivian put away her pretended relaxed smile. She turned around and looked at the charred ancient trees by the roadside, and a solemn shadow enveloped her eyes...

The sudden disaster in School District 9 was listed in the investigation file, and members of the Magic Society collectively referred to it as the Unknown Fire Incident.

The investigation lasted for a week, but the progress was not smooth. During this week, four more fires occurred in the Ninth School District.

The time when fires occur frequently is mainly after 12 noon and an hour after school in the afternoon.

The fire demons who attacked Creedo Academy seemed to have made an appointment to launch raids at these two times.

In other words, there is a certain pattern in the timing of fires. This is a very important clue.

Willett made a list of people who were witnesses of the fire. The number of sightings of the witnesses was also marked on it.

People with more sightings are ranked higher.

Alice's name was also among them, and ranked second on the list. When she saw this questionnaire, Willett was sitting in the president's office.

The questionnaire lies quietly on the rectangular vintage mahogany table.

Standing next to her friend, Alice looked at each name on the list carefully, and finally fixed her eyes on the first name on the list.

This name is not unfamiliar, and it can even be said that she has been getting along with the owner of this name day and night.

Her pretty eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she asked her friend sitting next to her in a low voice: "Is the fire demon's real target Charlotte?"

Willett, holding the silver quill, nodded slightly: "Maybe so, this is just a guess."

She circled Charlotte's name with a quill, and her voice was as cold and calm as ice and snow: "Among all the witnesses, only Charlotte witnessed every sudden fire in the Ninth School District."

Putting the quill into the pen holder, she looked into Alice's clear and bright eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly:

"If the fire demon was targeting the Ninth School District, it wouldn't be as simple as just burning a few trees."

Alice quickly understood the meaning of the other party's words:

"You mean, they do this to deceive others and hide their true purpose..."

An idea came to the surface like a bubble, and she suddenly understood: "They are not targeting the Ninth School District at all, but Charlotte!"

Willett nodded slightly and said in a trusting tone: "I believe you know what to do next, Alice."

"Since you said so, I can't let you down."

After patting her friend on the back, Alice finally had a smile on her face. It was a smile that came from the heart.

When the balancer who protects the order of the academy temporarily withdraws, the sky has completely darkened. The time of the night watchman has arrived.

According to the requirements, all students in the ninth school district put on special magic clothes, which can effectively defend against fire magic.

In addition, the ancient trees on both sides of the sidewalk have been coated with a special fire-proof material. Even if the fire demon launches another attack, it will not be able to cause a large-scale fire.

Composing the work of a balancer, Charlotte stretched out under an old tree.

While moving her shoulders, she turned her head to look in the direction of the restaurant: "Well... I'm hungry, I can finally go to eat!"

She took out the flying broomstick from her hat, turned over and rode it neatly, and rushed to the magic restaurant as quickly as possible.

After finally waiting in line, Charlotte turned around and walked towards the eating area with her plate in hand. When she looked up, she saw a familiar figure.

Her eyes brightened instantly, shining like stars: "Senior Alice!"

The girl sitting at the dining table raised her head when she heard this and waved to her: "Come over and eat together, school girl!"

Thinking back carefully, this was the first time they had dinner together. So Charlotte was in a very good mood, so good that she threw all her worries into the trash can.

She looked around and saw no other familiar figure except the senior sister.

It seemed that they were the only two having dinner together.

This is really a rare opportunity to get along!

Alice had a bowl of ramen in front of her and a glass of pure milk in her hand. She said straight to the point: "I'm here specifically to eat with you."

Putting a hot French fries into her mouth and chewing it, Charlotte was a little flattered and said "Oh" with wide eyes.

Alice then asked: "Where do you live? I didn't find your name on the dormitory list."

"I moved out of the dormitory before."

Charlotte touched her nose in embarrassment and tried to explain to the other party why she did this:

"I rented a house in the forest of the college. I always feel that this place is closer to nature, and I can sketch anytime and anywhere."

She sighed sincerely: "I feel much more comfortable than staying in the dormitory!"

Alice nodded thoughtfully, took a sip of milk, and asked seriously: "Can I live with you?"

Charlotte, who had just taken a sip of hot coffee, almost choked. She stretched out her hand to support her chin to prevent it from falling on the table.

Although the senior sister is usually very sunny and cheerful, she has never been so enthusiastic and unrestrained like today...like tonight...

Could it be that she was hallucinating? Charlotte thought while holding her chin.

She tilted her head in confusion. Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Alice repeated the previous question: "Can we live together?"

"Isn't this really an illusion?"

Charlotte slapped the table and stood up like a rocket:
Chapter completed!
