The world is indifferent.

I knew this truth from the beginning.

I should also abide by this principle, abide by this magician's code that seems to be rotten, and become a person who is as rotten as them. Instead of studying magic as it is now, you have never really put your soul into it. "It's like a heretic," my father would say of me when he was chatting, but I still refused to be indifferent.

From the bottom of my heart, I still look forward to communicating with people, even though I have experienced the setbacks that I think are difficult, even if I sometimes want to cry, but I may be a little cheeky to say this, I have never given up my persistence in the goodness of human nature, and I still believe that there is warmth in the world, not the strict and rotten indifference of the magician society.

Because of the decline of the family, he was constantly excluded, and he was deliberately targeted because of his poor qualifications. I don't want to be that dirty adult, I just want to learn from Peter Pan who never has an island, and I don't grow up in a magician society.

However, reality always strikes people head-on, as if now, the object of the bow has disappeared, leaving me here alone, like a clown.

The autumn breeze was bleak, and I stood by the bench for a moment, then turned to leave.

"Don't give up hope, Rin, you can"

I patted myself on the cheek, and I comforted myself. There is a strict time for the start of the clock tower, and if you don't find the real location of the clock tower before then, you may not be able to enter the clock tower.

[Don't make any excuses!] Originally, it was a gift to give you the opportunity to study for those who are in decline, and if you don't cherish it, you won't set foot in the territory of the Magic Association for the rest of your life! This is not a fantasy, but an instance of the past.

So, I had to brace myself and face everything carefully and cautiously.

However, the boy passing by gave me an idea, because of the loss of luggage and the lack of oxygen in the brain, I gave up thinking and did not even think of this, that is, to go to the magicians! There are always a few magicians in London who know the location of the clock tower and are hanging out outside!

For the rest of the day, I kept looking, looking for the magicians who passed by—and if that boy could pass by, there would be other magicians who knew the way! With illusions, I walked on the road at a loss, letting go of all my perceptions.

Luckily, I did find a few magicians, and when I saw them coming out of a broken, famous cauldron bar, I eagerly asked.

But

"Tosaka family? Is that Tosaka Tokitomi's Tosaka family? ”

"Oh, I remember, it's the declining family, it was possible to become the heir of His Excellency Jewel, but he went after something unnecessary, and in the end the family line was gone, the papers were outdated, and even the connections withered."

"Huh? You were invited to come and learn? Don't be kidding, little girl, let's continue to decline the people of the declining family! ”

The magician, who had laughed and left, finally dropped such a sentence.

"Forget it, I'll tell you if you pity me, the department of the Clock Tower is outside London, and the office is in the British Museum"

Although I was ridiculed, I managed to find out the news, and without thanking me, I left there in a hurry.

British museum? It's been a long way from here! I didn't have a penny on me, so I had to run over with my own legs!

There are ways to confuse taxi drivers with hints, but taxis may not be as fast as my magically strengthened legs!

Hurry up, hurry up! It was so close to the airport that I had to jump around the streets of London at my highest speed. About an hour or two has passed? I don't remember exactly, but I made it there before the door closed.

Even if the main body is inside the museum, the tower still follows secular principles, and if it weren't for my speed, I might have closed the door!

As I stormed into the cellar-like room, the magician who cut my nails glanced up at me.

"Who are you? Where did it come from? Where to go? ”

I didn't have time to complain about this question, and I was ecstatic to spit out all the information, but in exchange for a cold glance.

"You said you were from the Tosaka family and came to school, okay, please hand over your identification, whether it's a passport or something else, and where is your application for admission? We won't let you in without a signed and stamped application."

A basin of cold water, poured down.

"Well, because there are some things on the way, my luggage is not with me right now, and if I can apply for admission or something, I'll hand it in a little later" My voice became quieter and quieter.

The magician looked suspicious: "Yes, then at least hand over your identification, well, your passport." ”

"Is that okay?"

After rummaging through my body for a long time, I dug through the pocket of my trench coat and pulled out my student ID (there are no ID cards in Japan, so if you do, you will use your student ID, health insurance card, and driver's license instead).

"You're meowing me?"

Sure enough, it didn't work.

After apologizing, I left there, the British Museum was closing, and I couldn't stay there forever.

My mind went blank, I didn't even remember when I was sitting on the edge of the square, I just froze, watching the sun set over the sky, watching the mist of the night envelop everything.

Then, I felt myself tapped on the shoulder.

"Hey. Girlish. ”

It was the boy, and he didn't know where he jumped out, and I glanced at him and ignored him.

Whether it was an aristocratic party or not, or whether he was a magician who looked funny but was indifferent to the extreme, I couldn't stay here anymore without identification, and I'm afraid that tomorrow, I would have to ask the embassy for help.

If I don't lose my box

With my head in my lap, I whispered.

"Brave girl, did you lose this gold kera, or this silver, or this ordinary pink suitcase."

Looking up in disbelief, my eyes were fixed on a suitcase in the boy's hand, and the familiar mark on it proved that it was the suitcase that I had lost by mistake and did not know where to go!

"Give it to me!" I almost couldn't wait to grab it, and I pressed my hot face against it. At this time, I noticed that the boy's figure was a little embarrassed, with some small branches hanging from his hair, and some wrinkles in his clothes. It seems that the boy had a lot of trouble finding this lost suitcase.

"Thank you."

Why help me, though.

My eyes were filled with curiosity.

In the face of people I don't know, pointless help, I can already imagine the young man silently searching, just because of my request for help, the young man who only knows my name is looking like a fool where he can find it.

Why, exactly? If it was a familiar person, it might be an inconspicuous thing, but I am a stranger who has only met once.

The young man raised his head and touched his head embarrassedly: "Ah, I'm sorry, I used a little more force to pull your box out of there, and it may have been scratched in some places." ”

As I listened to what I didn't know, I didn't know what expression to use to face him, but I just felt that those eyes with naughty (pleasant) were unusually beautiful.

"Stupid." Loud, I spoke.

"Stupid stupid stupid!"

"Huh?!"

The boy was stunned.

"Let's reintroduce it! My name is Rin Tosaka, I'm from Japan in the Far East, I'm a freshman in the Class of 2014 at the Clock Tower, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Senpai. After a pause, I continued, "Also, thank you. ”

"My name is Lynn. Helsin. Yugdomrainia, it's nice to meet you, and who's the stupid person you are talking about?! ”

The "stupid" with his head sideways and a confused expression

It looks really beautiful.

Warm, not as cold as a magician Mr. "Heretic".
