16. Apprentice witch?

Arrange accommodation and book your trip for the next day...... When Elizabeth returned to her hometown, she immediately became capable, as if all the confusion she had had been elsewhere was a joke. Although Nangong was a little caught off guard, but soon his identity was also determined, as a colleague who came to "exchange work", although he could not be "rampant", but the rights that ordinary supervisors could enjoy could have, and they could unconditionally ask for help from nearby supervisors.

In this city with opposing ideologies, there are really a lot more ombudsmen than elsewhere. Day and night, the clergy in uniform perform their duties as Ombudsman, just as they do in front of them.

"Hoo ......"

Nangong sighed while sitting on the swing and shaking on a whim. Sleeping under the covers early is not his style at all, but even staying in the nearby park and looking at the scenery will be under scrutiny. Although the current temporary status has allowed Nangong to fully cope with it, this still exposes a problem.

As a foreigner, wearing a uniform that only local clergy wear, it is really very eye-catching. Before, too, even if it was just a normal rush, the gaze that came to him was far more than that of other Inspectors.

"Or is it better to take it off?"

Nangong muttered to herself, and at the same time, she was very "lonely" and began to swing. Because this is also a public relationship, Elizabeth and Xixin should not appear very often, of course, the result of this is that Nangong is passing the time alone like a poor worm who has just been dumped.

【Bang】

There was a soft sound, and although the guest was ushered in, it was obvious that the guest would not play with him. And it's obvious that a big man like himself is past the age of playing.

With the shift of the line of sight. Nangong soon found the little girl who was playing the same childish game as him next to him...... Maybe it's more appropriate to say it's a little beggar. At least judging from her tattered clothes, it is obvious that she is not a "little princess" who is cared for by her family.

Tattered cloth clothes, messy, untreated long hair, these are obviously the symbols of a homeless person. If there is a question of why such a child is already a homeless person, then the most likely explanation is only "orphans".

Go ask about it? But Winnie's lesson should have been enough before, rashly inquiring about other people's privacy or something......

Maybe it was because she noticed Nangong's scrutiny, and the girl naturally turned her head. Although the deepest impression on Nangong was the pair of eyes that were partially covered by long hair, and there was no longer much anger. It felt like the little girl lighting a match at the end, and although the hidden hope had extinguished some of her despair, it was only a return to the light.

This kid, don't try to do anything stupid, you can get help if you look for an orphanage or something, can you?

"......" wanted to help her, but the only way for herself, who couldn't communicate with her, had to rely on Elizabeth now. But if you turn the weapon you hold into a living "human" or something in front of the little girl, this is a violation of the most basic regulations of the Ombudsman.

Then I have to hide where to go and let Elizabeth help again?

Nangong, who jumped off the swing, was about to find a place where no one was there to hide, but in the next moment, the little girl suddenly shouted Nangong's voice, but the voice made him nervous and even tightened his weapon a little.

"Big brother. Enough of that? ”

β€œοΌβ€ This kid! Can you ......

Nangong, who looked at the little girl together, not only took a few steps back, but no matter from which point of view. This dirty little guy shouldn't be his fellow countryman. But if she wasn't a fellow villager, why could she ......

"This is magic, huh? Magic that can do anything. ”

Magic...... What a familiar word, but the presence in this city must mean that the guy who keeps praising it must be ......

"Do you understand?"

"Danger!"

The distance that was too close tilted in a moment, although there was still a feeling of being suppressed on her body just now, but soon Elizabeth was knocked into the distance by the so-called "magic" that Nangong had not yet understood, and directly changed back to the appearance of a sword, and it was difficult to maintain even the human form.

The magician of the Magic Society!? But this is too strange, the conflict between the Ombudsman and the magician in the previous investigation did not deteriorate to the extent that this kind of meeting will be "life and death"! And...... A child at this age is already ......

There was no hesitation, because at this moment of her trance, this little guy who was supposed to be weak had already begun to prepare for her next "magic". The iron pillar, which maintained the height of the swing, made a "click" cracking sound and began to "dance" with the fingers of the little one. Although it is far from the imaginary wind, fire, thunder, lightning meteorite tsunami, there must be no reason to deny that this is "magic", which is more illusory and incredible than what I have seen before...... Magic.

But if only to this extent......

Turning sideways, about to be unsheathed, the power of Xixing has never needed any doubt, no matter whether it is an iron pipe or a steel pipe in front of him, even if it is a diamond, as long as it is Xijing, it will definitely be cut off like cutting tofu.

The severed scaffold was jingling on the ground, because it was not clear what to do with the "magician" in front of him now, and the other party's calm attitude seemed to be a little dangerous, Nangong, who calmly resolved the first crisis, just looked nervously at the "little beggar" who was still sympathetic before, and slowly retreated in the direction of Elizabeth.

"You're not the same as the dog in the Inquisition?" The little girl's eyes widened, and the bloodshot eyes, which should have been desperate, now seemed to burst out of them, but the feeling that burst out of them was not as simple as it seemed.

At least certainly not despair...... Maybe it's more appropriate to say that it's crazy, but are the magicians of the Magic Society all in such a state where people are not human and ghost?

"You don't have the smell of gods on you...... suddenly, the little girl stretched out her hand to Nangong absurdly, "How about becoming a magician?" You see, you see? What a wonderful thing magic is......"

"...... "Magician, this kid looks like he's asking the wrong person. Maybe other people still have a dream of becoming a "great magician", but for themselves, this is not what they have expected from childhood to adulthood.

But this does not prevent a trick at this time, after all, the ombudsman is not a rigid profession......

"Your name, then."

While guarding the little girl's continued trouble, Nangong picked up Elizabeth at the same time. I always feel that Elizabeth's state is a little bad, so I still have to find a way to perfunctory it first.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'll be waiting here for your big brother. The little girl's figure began to blur, although it was clear that this was only a kind of magic, but from a visual point of view, it still couldn't help but make people admire the beauty of magic.

"My name is Emilia and I'm a ......"

"Apprentice Witch." (To be continued......)
