Chapter 147: Loreleia Comes to Visit
With trepidation, Loreleia left the Tosaka family and was led by Sakura to the Makiri family's mansion, which was only a fifteen-minute walk away.
Originally, Weber also wanted to go together, after all, it was Webber who was invited by Yanye, but Loreleia refused. First, he still needs to go through the formalities and liaise with the clock tower headquarters to deal with the inheritance, and second, there are some things that she must say, which is her responsibility, and even a minute of delay is a torment for her.
How would his family look when they heard that he was missing, and that something was likely to happen to him?
What kind of reaction will his family have when they find out that this is because of her? Will they just blast her out, or even want to kill her?
No matter what, no matter what the reaction is, she will not run away from it, and will accept it calmly.
In the name of Loreleia, in the name of Shinji Makiri's friend, she will not use the slightest power of the Barsermelo family, even if his family really wants to kill her.
Of course, she doesn't really sit still, because she has other responsibilities and can't die here. She's going to avenge him, she's going to lead Barsermero, she's going to lead the Clock Tower, she's going to lead the Magic Society to keep going, and she's going to take care of his family.
Thinking of this, Loreleia couldn't help but show a wry smile. Obviously, he has an extremely thin concept of his family, but now he wants to take care of his family, should it be said that it is cause and effect? Or is it ironic?
"Sister Loreleia, Sister Lorelea, what's wrong with you?"
A soft voice in her ears woke Loreleia from her emotions, and it was only then that she realized that she had unconsciously stopped.
Are you scared? scared to walk into his house, scared to face his family.
"Sister. The girl in front of her called out to her again.
This is a very beautiful girl, purple hair, purple eyes, although it has not yet opened, but the beautiful face that can be seen, the name seems to be called Sakura, Sakura, will it be her sister?
"My sister just thought of something. β
If the magicians of the clock tower were standing here, they would be amazed at Loreleia's attitude. At this time, she did not have the condescending queen momentum, nor was she aggressive, as if she was just a sister next door talking to her sister.
"Sister, can you tell me about the clock tower? My brother went there to study, but he didn't let me go too, saying that it was too early for me. Sakura's eyes twinkled, and she looked very cute.
Sure enough, it was his sister. Lorelea's nose is slightly sour. It is not difficult to hear from the girl's words that she is attached to her brother, but she indirectly killed her brother.
Seeing that Lorelei Lea didn't answer, Sakura cautiously added: "Sister, if it's inconvenient to say it, you can not say it." β
"Nothing was inconvenient. Loreleia shook her head, her eyes softening as she looked at the girl, "I don't mind calling you Sakura." β
"Hmm. β
"The clock towerβ"
No one had ever asked Lorelea such a question.
Those who are qualified to ask are knowledgeable enough about the clock tower to ask, and those who can ask such questions are not entitled to contact her, the former candidate for the heir to Barthmelo, now Lord Barthmelo. So much so that for a moment, Loreleia didn't know how to speak.
After thinking for a while, Loreleia sorted out an idea.
"βfor magicians, this is the best and worst place. There is the best environment, the most abundant resources and knowledge, and there are relatively some constraints and a lot of disputes. In many cases, magicians who only pursue their goals are more terrible than ordinary people and cause more riots. Your brother is right, it's a little early for you to go to the clock tower. β
"Are you okay with that sister?" Sakura asked innocently.
"Sister, it's okay. β
Loreleia's expression made Sakura feel inexplicably familiar, just like when her brother protected himself behind him and faced the insect tide.
"My sister has lived there since she was a child and is used to it. β
"Then I will go to the clock tower in the future, can I visit my sister?"
"Yes, my sister is very welcome. Loreleia avoided Sakura's expectant gaze and silently added in her heart - if you were still willing to come at that time.
"I'll definitely go back. Sakura's eyes lit up, "Ah, here it is, this is my home." β
What caught Lorela's eye was a Western-style house with a history of more than 100 years, although the appearance was quite vicissitudes, but it did not give people a dilapidated feeling.
Sakura stood in front of the door, gently lifting the hem of her skirt and bending her knees slightly: "Welcome Sister Loreley to the Makiri family." β
Loreleia sighed imperceptibly, and said in a voice that she could only hear, "It's finally here." β
Then, habitually biting her index finger, she followed Sakura into the house with trepidation.
Knowing that the people from the clock tower came to the door, Tsuru and the Yanye brothers were already waiting in the entrance.
"Hello, I'm Kakiri, the head of the Kakiri family. β
"I am the night of the wild goose of the Makiri, the heir of the magic seal of the Makiri family. β
A hint of doubt flashed in Loreleia's eyes. Normally, the heir to the engraved seal should be the head of the family, and it is rare for the heir of the engraved seal to be separated from the head of the family like the Kiriri family.
Considering the different circumstances of each family, Loreleia buried her doubts in her heart and only responded with impeccable etiquette:
"Hello two, I'm Lorelea, and my family name can't be revealed for some reason, so please forgive me. β
Tsuruya and Yanya naturally didn't care about such a trivial matter, and while saying no, they introduced Loreley Lea into the living room.
After the two sides sat down, Yan Ye asked, "Well, Miss Lorelea, take the liberty of asking, why didn't Mr. Velvet come?"
He also needs to deal with the Tosaka family's inheritance and patent inheritance, and he can't get away with it for the time being. Loreleia said the excuse that had been prepared for a long time, "You two have something to tell me. β
There are examples of demons like Shinji in front, and Tsuru and Goose Night did not despise Loreley because of her young age, the brothers glanced at each other, and the elder brother Tsuru also spoke: "Then I'm welcome, in fact, I want to ask Miss Lorelea to inquire about my child's news, he visited the clock tower, and there has been no news for a long time." β
In the entire Maki family, only Shinji had the direct contact information of the people related to the clock tower, and others, including Tsuruya and Yanya, avoided it, in order to ensure that the struggle of the clock tower did not involve the Makiri family to the greatest extent. And Emiya Kiritsugu's intelligence officers stationed in London were also fully withdrawn after Kenneth's return, and turned to search for Sigma's whereabouts.
In other words, Shinji is the only link between the Kirito family and the clock tower, and if something goes wrong with him, the two sides will not be completely cut off, at least the exchange of information will become very difficult.
"Mr. Tsuruya is talking about Shinji, and that's what I'm here for. Without giving Tsuru a chance to continue talking, Loreleia gritted her teeth and said something that had been brewing for a long time, "Shinji, he's missing, and it's even very likely that something happened to him." β
With a "clang", the tea tray in Sakura's hand overturned.
