"Thank you for your hospitality!"

Rin put down the mug in her hand and thanked the young lady who was standing next to her in a Japanese maid costume.

But the boy sitting across the table with tea spoke before the maid could answer.

"You're welcome, the bill will be sent to your father later......"

As he spoke, the boy glanced up at the girl in red who was glaring at him, then turned his gaze back to the tea and took a sip.

"It's just a joke, don't care."

But that just made Rin on the other side more annoyed.

"Okay, do you need to make sure your friend is safe? I can give you a phone number – it's free. ”

After the boy told him that all the victims had returned to their homes in the early hours of this morning, he asked the girl who had already eaten.

“…… Okay, trouble. ”

"Then Sister Liuli, take her to call."

After the boy instructed the maid who stood silent, he resumed his meditation with his eyes closed.

“…… I'm sorry, young master has always been like this, I hope you don't mind. ”

Walking down the corridor that was so long that there was almost no end in sight, the maid lady who was in front of her turned around and apologized to Rin.

"It's okay, it's just that he's a weirdo."

Rin still has some puff at the moment.

The boy seemed to be her off from the first time they met, but nothing could be seen in the face of the silent dead fish.

"Hehe, the young master's temperament is more introverted, if you get used to it, you will know that he is actually quite a gentle person."

The maid lady praised her young master so much, and Rin's response was only to pout the corners of her lips.

"This is the lounge where the landline is located, and the phone inside can be dialed directly, and I will wait outside the door, and I will be fine if there is anything to call me."

Standing outside the door of a room, the maid Xiaojie opened the door and smiled at Rin.

"I'm sorry."

Rin returned the salute and stepped into the room.

After a while, the girl in red walked out of the lounge.

"Excuse me, what's going on?" Miss Maid asked.

"Qinyin has arrived home safely, thank you very much."

"So, have you informed your parents about the situation? I guess your family is already worried about death now, right? ”

The maid asked with a smile on her face.

"If not, please tell them that you are now at Genno's house in 'Ikeyu', so that you may be able to calm their hearts better."

"Okay, I'm sorry for you!"

With that, Rin returned to the break room again.

Aoi Tosaka only found out that her daughter was missing an hour later.

Perhaps afraid of being scolded by her mother, the child kept a note next to her bed, saying that she was going to find her classmate Qinyin, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Aoi immediately regretted it.

At dinner, Rin mentions Kotone and asks Aoi about Fuyuki's current situation.

At that time, Aoi thought that she should not hide something, so she said to her plainly, "You have forgotten this friend."

It should have been told to Shi Chen—but this thought was immediately suppressed by her reason.

Aoi can't do magic, but she's a magician's wife after all.

She knows that her husband doesn't have time to worry about his daughter now.

The husband is still on the battlefield and has devoted his life and all his energy to fighting.

The only one who can protect Rin is now himself.

Aoi ran out of the Zen City Mansion in her home clothes and drove on the national highway at night.

Since I don't know where Rin has gone, I can only guess the scope of her movements, and then look for where she might go one by one.

If you want to take the train from home, the first thing you must go to is the Fuyuki Station in Xindu, and then walk for 30 minutes on your child's feet, which is about ......

Aoi's first thought was the Civic Park in Kawabe.

The silence of the park in the middle of the night is very reminiscent of a cemetery.

In the deserted square, the dim light of the street lamps set off the darkness and silence a little frighteningly.

The night air in Fuyuki City has deteriorated significantly.

Aoi, who lives with a magician and is accustomed to a variety of strange phenomena, immediately discovers this.

Aoi glanced at the bench she usually sat on when she brought Rin to play, which can only be said to be a feeling out of thin air.

However, the small figure in the red coat he was looking for was not there.

At that moment, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

The unknown number, but she couldn't help but hesitate and immediately pressed the call button.

"Mom's ......"

"-Rin!"

Aoi shouted loudly, and the cold sweat on her body instantly poured out.

The scene at this moment is much like a kidnapper's announcement call to the victim's family on the screen.

But in the next moment, she let go of her thoughts, and it was obvious that her daughter was very safe now.

"I'm at Genno's house in 'Ikeyu' right now, and they just invited me to eat cake, and it's ......."

Listening to her daughter's immature voice trying to tell her about her situation, Aoi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait for me there, Rin, and I'll pick you up right away."

………………

"Have you contacted your family?"

Rin, who walked out of the door again, blushed when she saw the unchanging smile of the maid at the door.

"Coming back?"

As soon as he opened the door, the boy's voice came from the room.

But the difference is that at this moment, there is not only the boy alone in the room, there is also a small figure, kneeling beside the boy and serving tea.

The dignified figure straightened his back, the figure with a slight chin was as beautiful as a lotus, the small face was so immature, and the delicate eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.

This is a very brilliant little beauty, and at this moment, this little girl, who looks like she may not have entered elementary school, is sitting there in a small maid suit.

“…… Pu Wei? Lady Maid, who was beside Rin, asked softly.

In fact, this is the little girl who originally called herself Alice, but later the boy really didn't like the Western-style name, so he forcibly changed her name to Pu Wei.

The girl was quite dissatisfied with this, and always felt that the name was worse than Liuli, but in the end she accepted it.

"............" but the girl named Pu Wei did not respond at all, but just sat next to the boy and quietly brewed the tea in her hand.

“…… Well, it looks like your relationship is stiff. ”

Rin whispered to the side.

"Nothing...... "Miss Maid's calm smile finally seemed to waver.

"It's good that you're back, I'm still worried that someone will attack you."

The boy who said this took the tea served by Pu Wei next to him and sipped it.

“…… What's going on? ”

Rin asked curiously as she sat down on the cushion across from the boy.

"I just learned that your father is Tosaka Tokitomi, so that's why I have this concern."

The boy casually threw out the information he had gotten, and did not give the girl on the other side the slightest margin to ask questions.

"When I met you in that alley before, I found out that you had been followed by something, but those guys were so well hidden that they couldn't find out, which is why I took you home......"

With that, the boy glanced at Rin, who had a gloomy face, and then at her bright red coat.

"If you were to be in danger after meeting me, it would be a big trouble for me, but I didn't expect the situation to be so serious at that time."
