Act 209. Encounter outside the campus

When I walked out of the office of Vice Principal Puerdo, it was the hottest point of the afternoon, and the summer cicada was unbridled and noisy, and the sharp chirp pierced the eardrums.

Reiner thanked the dozing receptionist and took the elevator out of the main building, where he saw students yawning into the building, for whom the world was full of anticipation and wonder.

The work was done, the investigation was over for the time being, and Reiner could go back to his residence to escape the scorching summer, but he always felt that something was missing.

Reiner walked aimlessly around the campus, as if he could meet Siris. Oldman's trace, in a trance, he actually came to the side door of the school, which led directly to the villa area where the school staff were located.

It also leads directly to Director Percival's home.

"That doesn't seem good."

Reiner muttered to himself that it was a little discordant to himself as a normal adult man, visiting a housewife with a minor daughter alone when his master was not at home.

But just as Reiner turned around, hesitating to go home, an unexpected voice stopped him.

"Mr. Ian Gray?"

What a coincidence, Reiner thought, and when he turned around, he saw Lady Lyza with a small basket in her hand and her daughter in the other.

"Lady Lysa, and this is Little Aco."

Reiner, of course, couldn't pretend not to see it, he said hello and saw a six-year-old girl wearing a straw hat, but she didn't feel uncomfortable in this hot summer, but looked around curiously.

"I was about to take Arco to visit my father and make some little desserts."

She lifted the basket in her hand and said with a smile on her face.

"I'm here to run errands today, so I'm just walking around here."

Reiner said, thinking for a moment before finally asking.

"Madame Lysa, actually, I just came out of Vice Principal Pudoldo."

"Hey, Dad, what's the matter with him?"

Madame Lyza asked softly, a little surprised.

"It's about Siris. Oldman, a mage who used to study at this school, I wonder what you know, Lady Lyza? ”

Unexpectedly, Reiner's question made Mrs. Lyza's hand loosen, and the basket of desserts fell straight to the ground.

Reiner hurriedly used the mage's hand and barely managed to grab the basket.

"Sorry, I'm a little ......"

Madame Lysa took the basket from Reiner, her eyes a little dark, and she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Mr. Ian Gray, if it's convenient, can you wait for me at this place, I'll be here in about an hour."

She pulled out a business card from her pocket, a café on the back street of the school that Reiner had seen on his last evening walk.

"Okay, I'll wait."

A bingo sounded in Reiner's heart, and he originally guessed that since Director Percival and Siris were classmates, then his wife, Lady Lysa, should know some about it, but now it seems that it is a real hammer.

And, contrary to Reiner's initial suspicions, Lady Lysa was also very familiar with Siris.

Watching the mother and daughter head towards the main building, Reiner hummed a tune and followed the path of his memory to the commercial street known as the Back Street, which was obviously more dependent on the presence of the students, and seemed quite lonely at this time.

When Reiner arrived at the café called Midnight, there was only one table of people, a man and a woman.

They don't know if they didn't have classes in the afternoon or sneaked out, there were a few books and two cups of coffee on the table between the two, and they were studying seriously, among them, it can be seen that the girl doesn't seem to be very good at studying, and often asks the boy, and the boy also takes the trouble to answer for it, it looks like an ordinary student couple working together.

The café is relatively quiet with a cool breeze and the refreshing aroma of coffee, which is indeed perfect for studying.

Reiner had already put away his jury badge, ordered a regular cup of coffee, and sat down by the window.

Naturally, he didn't wait, Reiner took out the bound materials from the storage bag, this was a new spell that he had completed the theory part, and at this time, it was just right to check if there were any omissions.

The two students on the side glanced at Reiner, but didn't care.

Time passed quickly, and Reiner heard the door of the café being opened and a wind chime sounded, and he looked up just in time to see Lady Lyza walking in with her daughter Arco's hand.

Reiner said hello, and Lady Lysa sat down with her daughter.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

As soon as the other party sat down, the waiter at the café came over with the menu.

"A cup of Midland-style coffee, and ......"

"I'm going to get ice cream!"

Xiao Yake immediately screamed, causing Lady Lysa to smile helplessly.

"And a chocolate ice cream, thank you."

After ordering, Madame Ryza sat Arco aside in front of a chocolate ice cream larger than her head.

"You have to eat it slowly, bite by bite, not whole."

Lady Lyza said, and Arco nodded vigorously.

"Swallow ...... whole"

The corners of Reiner's mouth twitched, and it looked like if it weren't for her mother's reminder, the six-year-old girl might have actually been able to swallow the chocolate ice cream in one bite.

"I used to come here a lot when I was a student."

Madame Lysa glanced into the distance, as if she was tired of the two students who were resting, and there was a slight look of nostalgia on her face.

"Lady Lyza, you should know that Siris, too. Oldman, right? ”

In fact, when the other party told him to come here and wait, Reiner knew that he should be able to know something from Madame Lyza, so he asked straight to the point.

"Well, I know Siris."

Madame Lysa nodded, a rare look of loneliness in her eyes, and the mother of her six-year-old daughter sighed softly and continued.

"To be honest, when I saw you that day, I felt that you and Siris were really a little similar, not because of their appearance and identity, but because of a special temperament that I can't say."

Reiner didn't interrupt Madame Lysa's narration, and only took a sip of the slightly bitter coffee in her cup.

"It's really nostalgic, it's been so many years, I didn't expect anyone to mention his name."

Mrs. Lysa's gaze rested on the pair of young students who were laughing, and her tone was full of reminiscence, as if she had seen herself back then.
