CHAPTER XVII

The price of growing up is that the world is no longer a fairy tale of clear opposites between good and bad, and Harry will eventually face a reality as grey as concrete.

"It's a lot of money to grow up." Harry said.

"That thing aside, I'll put these two retirement letters away first, and I think I can give you two a long vacation long enough that you can both eat turkey at Easter with your kids this year."

"Oh, that's so cool! I've almost forgotten what turkey tastes like...... Oh no, it's time to forget the last time you spent the holidays with your family! Ron couldn't help but scream.

"Even though I've been clear about why you want to quit," Kingsley said. Oh, don't put that on that face, most of the Aurors have wanted to quit because of this kind of thing, didn't Dumbledore tell you that Moody killed eighteen magicians while crying the first time he did this kind of dirty work? ”

Kingsley's meaning is very clear, although there is no darkness in the era of peace, but because of the subspecies Holy Grail War in the world, there are basically trivial things to deal with every day, and if the Auror office disappears two experienced old members in one go, it may become a mess.

"Is it another subspecies grail thing! Seriously, I get a headache when I hear that word right now. ”

"This matter has to go to your junior brother, as the last person to bear the name of the Thousand Worlds Tree, this pot should be transferred to him."

As a result, Harry and Ron's retirement was severely delayed by Kingsley, and they won't be able to completely get out of it until next spring. But then, they are going to enjoy more than half a year's vacation, and they usually only need to pay attention to occasionally training new people, and then quietly support a new team leader.

On the way back, the two of them excitedly discussed the way out in the future. Ron thought he was going to help his brother, who had helped out in the Weasley Wizardry for a while, and his brother George would be happy to go back now. But Harry had another way out.

"I want to be a teacher, to go back to Hogwarts and be a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. If Professor McGonagall doesn't agree, then I'll be the coach of the Quidditch team. ”

He shrugged his shoulders and said.

"The former is what I used to expect, and Ron probably remembers our interactions with the many teachers in that class when we were in school. The latter is my interest, I haven't been a Seeker for a long time, maybe I'll be a lot unfamiliar, and I can practice on vacation. ”

As the two of them were talking about the future in the hallway of the Ministry of Magic, Harry suddenly felt a pain in his lower back, as if someone had suddenly bumped into him. After subconsciously using magic to force the comer to appear, what appeared in front of them was a long-haired little girl wearing a white trench coat.

"Sorry, this is not the place for children, if you are separated from an adult, you can let us know, and we will take you to your family. Rest assured, we're not bad guys. ”

Harry bent down and explained to the strange-looking little girl in front of him.

“……”

The little girl was silent.

"Harry, you're doing the wrong thing, go away and let me come." Ron leaned over to the little girl and smiled silly.

"Don't be afraid, Shu Huang is not a bad person, well, we are an Auror, justice...... No, the Auror who maintains peace, since you can appear here, it means that you know that we are right~ So don't worry, Shu Huang is not a bad person. ”

He took a piece of candy from his robe, took the little girl's hand, placed it in the palm of the little girl's hand, and clenched his fist.

"Hey, look what this is, delicious candy! Shu millet gave it to you, eat this and let us go, the Shu millet ghost will take you to find your adult. ”

“……”

The little girl was silent.

She looked at the two of them with blood-red eyes, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but Harry always felt that it was like he was caring for the mentally retarded.

Suddenly, the little girl turned and ran away, and Harry and Ron had no way of chasing him down the narrow hallway, only to look at his back and run farther and farther until they disappeared around the corner.

The two people left behind looked at each other.

"That look just now is contempt."

"Well, you read that right."

As a result, in the end, they also didn't know who the little girl in the white trench coat was hidden in the hallway.

On the other side, after stepping around the corner and out of their sight, the little girl stopped and looked back at the candy that Ron had slipped into his hand.

"Although I have long been accustomed to walking in the world in various appearances, why do I feel humiliated? And I don't have a way to refute it! ”

If Harry and the others were still here, they would be surprised. It's obviously a cute little girl, but she spits out a rich bass voice from her mouth, and this strong contrast is amazing.

The monster king, the famous Accardo, would be frightened to jump out of the river of blood if his former enemies knew that he was now stuck in this appearance and was considered by various people to be an ordinary little girl.

was hugged by Silas on his knee and touched his head, well, after all, it was his own daughter, and it should be normal for a daughter to touch the head of the dad.

Being treated as a little girl by passers-by who look a little familiar, and taking herself to an adult, and stuffing herself with candy, this kind of humiliating shame and humiliation!!

…… Forget it, let's bear with it.

Sighing silently, Accardo re-manipulated the shadow to cover himself, which effectively avoided the light, which was a kind of invisibility for outsiders. Silas can manipulate the shadow to swallow the entire Helsin Mansion, Accardo, as a racial father, can certainly do more, if it was more than ten years ago, I am afraid he would be more flamboyant, but since he came out of the Helsin Mansion, he has not eaten anything for several hours, and Accardo, who has been hungry for more than ten years, really doesn't have much energy to go crazy.

Because I don't want to reunite with Intergula in my current state, I care too much about Lynn's words.

A few hours earlier, he had learned the so-called "truth of the matter" from Lynn, who thought that "he was just a phantom of two people", which caused Accardo to lose his mind. But now that he has calmed down, Accardo is still going to find the truth anyway.

Regardless of whether he is a phantom or not, it is still necessary to read the information left by Chonghe Piercing Gong.

Accardo remembered that at the lowest level of the Ministry of Magic, in the Department of Mysteries, there was a room in the Narrow Room of Time, where information about the past was stored. His birth was after the founding of the Magic Society, which means that he must have reservations about the information of the piercing man Vlad.

Well, you should be able to know your own business when you go there.

Accardo was expecting so.

"Okay, let's find the elevator of the Ministry of Magic as the main task!"

With that, He stepped on the hem of his trench coat and fell to the ground.

"Ahh

Accardo, who got up, touched his red nose that had been fallen, and said with tears in the corners of his eyes: "Sure enough, this body must be solved quickly, if it continues like this, my majesty will disappear completely!" ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen this candy before, so why don't you replace it with this before sucking blood? No, no, no, I shouldn't be driven by my body's instincts, I'm just hungry, hungry. ”

"Hmm! Delicious! Lemon flavored! ”

Accardo, who was unconsciously dominated by his body's instincts and covered his face like a real child, said Accardo.

————————————————————————————————————————————

Division of Mysteries, behind a stone door.

Reiri Kano sorted out the information of the Bitvia family that had just been wiped out, and her gaze did not move for a long time, staying at the place where the family originated.

"Did Alucard, the palindromic structure of Dracula as it was handed down in ancient Europe, save the ancestors of the Bitvia family three hundred years ago?"

According to the family tree, a man named Alucard suddenly appears and brings the most basic knowledge of magic to that family. But when the family matured, Alucard never appeared again. From the description, it appears that this Alucard is not the Accardo of the Knights of the Crown Church, and Accardo has also denied this.

"But who is it?"

The most reliable idea is the Heroic Spirit, maybe at that time, the Heroic Spirit of the Piercing Gong came to the world to save the girl back then, this kind of thing sounds very romantic and unrealistic, but this kind of thing often happens in history, for example, the legend about the Heroic Spirit can often see a pervert in a red tights slaughtering civilians, and I don't know what he is doing.

The mechanism of inhibition has not been thoroughly studied by magicians until now.

There is another theory, according to the jewel Onzerridge revealed to others after drinking a certain wine, that London in a parallel world was basically played by a few Heroic Spirits, and the inhibition came to the Heroic Spirits, but it almost played London even worse. It can be seen that the Valhalla Throne is not as strict as the magician thinks.

In the end, Reiri Kano gave up thinking about it, and in her opinion, the Bitvia family was wiped out anyway, and even if an Alucard suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it wouldn't make much of a difference, so she casually threw the family tree aside and decided not to pay attention to it.

But that's the King of Monsters, it's the Heroic Spirit, or the Twenty-Seven Ancestors, and it's all over.

"Even if Alucard is a time Out_of_bounds-traveler, it's useless!"

Stretching comfortably, Ryori Kano returned to the work in front of him.
