Chapter XXVII

Although Mick was suspicious in his heart, he would not make a presumptuous assertion without conclusive evidence, and there were many doubts in Jasmine's answer, just when Mick was about to open his mouth to continue asking Jasmine, Kenneth nodded and suddenly said, "So it was there, I was still patrolling the church at the time...... I'm sorry, Jasmine, I shouldn't have interrupted you so loudly just now, I apologize to you. ”

Jasmine blushed, looked at Kenneth and bowed her head, "It's okay, it's okay...... It's all because I, I'm too shy, because I'm too shy. ”

Mona looked at Kenneth in surprise and said, "I thought Kenneth was a very macho man!" I didn't expect to bow my head and admit my mistake......"

Lisa also looked at the sturdy Kenneth and said, "Kenneth, it turns out, good man." ”

Kenneth rubbed his head and smiled innocently.

Mick smiled and glanced at Kenneth, then cleared his throat and drew everyone's attention back, continuing the previous question and asking Jasmine, "Jasmine, were you there at the time?" ”

Hearing this, Jasmine hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Why are you still outside so late?" Kenneth wondered.

"......" Jasmine glanced nervously at Kenneth and Mick, as if she was afraid and didn't answer immediately.

Mona and Lisa each held Jasmine's hand, and Mona said softly, "It's okay, just tell them, they will believe you." ”

Jasmine seemed to pluck up her courage and said, her voice a little sharper than just now: "I, we're on an adventure!" ”

"Adventure?" Three voices rang out at the same time, and Lisa looked at Jasmine with curiosity, obviously not only Kenneth and Mick, but also the two sisters had just learned.

Jasmine nodded, her voice trembling slightly, and said, "When, at that time, we heard in our dormitory that there was a monster in the neighborhood that would appear at night, so I wanted to go and see it, and then, and then it really, really appeared......" A pair of big eyes full of fear were full of fear.

"I'm sorry, but can you describe what that monster looks like?" Mick looked at Jasmine slightly apologetically, apparently it wasn't easy to get the timid Jasmine to recall the monster's appearance again.

Jasmine just trembled and nodded, "Because, because it was back to me at that time, so I didn't see it all...... Well, it's, it's got a pair of round ears, it's tall, it's much taller than an ordinary person, it's black and white, and its hands are big, it's black, and it's hairy......" At the end, Jasmine couldn't help but close her eyes in fear.

"Very good, Jasmine, you're already very brave," Mick praised Jasmine as he drew on the paper, "Round ears, tall, black and white, big hairy black hands, okay~, is that so?" Mick handed the paper to Jasmine and asked.

Mick's sketch is pretty good, and he consciously moves it in the direction of horror, just ......

Mona and Lisa also took a closer look curiously, and Mona couldn't help laughing: "What kind of monster is this, it's clearly a doll, okay?" ”

"Bear, toy." Lisa nodded and added.

Jasmine also let out a light laugh and said, "No, it's not that cute......"

Mick hurriedly retrieved the paper and asked, "Isn't that really the case, Jasmine?" ”

With a smile on her face, Jasmine shook her head and said, "No, it's not like that. ”

"Mick, show me," Kenneth curious, pulled the blank paper from Mick's hand, glanced at it, and laughed, "Haha, Mick, what kind of monster is this?" ”

Mick blushed and snatched the paper back, muttering, "It's scary, isn't it......"

Jasmine seemed to be completely relieved, and the fear in her heart had dissipated a lot, although she still didn't dare to look at Kenneth and Mick, but her voice was obviously much louder than just now: "So, so, can I ask you to arrest this, this monster?" After Mar and Mary were attacked by that monster, they have been insomnia since the day before yesterday, and I am also scared ......."

"Of course, there's no problem, just leave it to our security department!" Kenneth patted his chest and reassured.

Mick had one more question for Jasmine: "Jasmine, why didn't the rest of your dorm come to us for help?" ”

Jasmine shook her head and said, "When、At that time, we were separated, only me, me and Mary were together, and that monster, after Mary screamed、And the other people didn't see it, so I didn't believe my words with Mary......"

"I see...... Do you know what the monster's strength is? ”

"No, I don't know, it just rushed out and hugged Mary, and then ran away......"

"That's right...... Okay, then we'll take care of it. We'll let you know when the result comes out. ”

Jasmine stood up, nodded to Kenneth and Mick, and said, "Well, then please leave it to the two of you......"

Mona also smiled and said to the two, "Then it's all up to you!" Mr. Minister and Deputy Minister! ”

"Oil, oil." Lisa said simply.

After finishing speaking, the three of them left with a relaxed mood that was obviously more relaxed than when they came, Kenneth took the piece of paper, looked at the "monster" on it and said, "Mick, your level has obviously dropped a lot, how can this look like a little monster?" ”

Mick was silent, took a new piece of paper and scribbled it, and a beast-like monster with a huge black hand jumped onto the paper, although there was only a back, but it was already possible to imagine its hideous face.

"Well, that's a bit of a monster," Kenneth admitted, and suddenly "you just drew it like that?" ”

Mick gave Kenneth a blank look and said, "Isn't that a matter of course?" If you scare Jasmine again, how can you continue to ask? ”

After speaking, Mick handed the paper to Kenneth and said: "This monster is very likely to be the monster I saw in Professor Duncan's basement before the start of school, or it may be a monster that escaped from the Warcraft breeding house, if the latter is fine, if the former is not necessarily something we can deal with." Kenny, you'd better go and ask the president for advice. ”

Kenneth had always regarded Mick as his second head, and he trusted him immensely, took the paper and nodded, "Okay, I'll go." ”

He walked to the door and asked, "Mick, when are you going to start investigating this monster?" ”

"Starting tonight." Mick said decisively.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Kenneth followed Mick's advice to go to the Hanna Pavilion, and when he walked to the president's office, he was still a little nervous, Kenneth let out a breath of turbidity, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, only to hear a calm "Please come in" from inside the door, so Kenneth pushed the door and walked in.

At this time, there are not only President Clall and Secretary Maddie in the president's office. Krar was seen sitting at the end of the round table, Maddie standing behind him, and two other men sitting on Claire's left-hand side, as if discussing something important.

"President, is the theme of this year's Games a magic football match?" A man with gold-rimmed glasses lifted the frame and said to Klar.

"Well, so be it. Well? Kenneth, what are you doing here? ”

Kenneth saw that the four people in the room were looking at him together, and said a little crampedly, "I have something to ask the president for advice." ”

Claire glanced at Kenneth, and then said to the two, "Regarding the sports meeting, the specific budget will be reported to Maddie." Also, Shut, the communication with the Horniman School of Magic will be about mid-June, and you will be solely responsible for the specific negotiations. So let's do it first. ”

"Yes, President." The two of them sorted out the papers on the table and got up to say goodbye, and couldn't help but glance at Kenneth before going out, after all, the twelve-year-old Kenneth looked a little immature except for his height. Maddie walked over to Clal's desk after the two left.

Claire turned the pen in his hand, looked at Kenneth and said, "So, what are you doing here, Minister of Security?" ”

"That, President, some classmates have reported to us that there are monsters in the academy attacking students at night!" Kenneth said loudly.

Claire's face was expressionless, while Maddie behind him was stunned.

"So what?" Claire continued.

This is not the same as the reaction he imagined the president would have, Kenneth thought, and then walked over to Claire, handed Mick's sketch to Clark and said, "This is what that monster looks like, it can be dangerous." President, what do you think we should do? ”

Unexpectedly, after just glancing at the monster on the painting, Claire calmly looked at Kenneth and said, "Kenneth, it seems that I have entrusted you with the security of the school, right?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be...... Right? Kenneth sensed the danger acutely.

"So you came to me and asked me what to do?" Claire's right eye could only be opened because of the scar, and now his left eye was also squinted, which was particularly terrifying, making Kenneth shudder slightly.

"Iβ€”I know what to do! I'll definitely grab it! Kenneth stood still and shouted.

"Good. Then go ahead and do it. Caral commanded back to his usual form.

"Yes!" Kenneth nodded, and then quickly fled the president's office.

Maddie, who was originally sorting out the information, saw Kenneth leaving, walked up to Clare and wondered, "You have so much confidence in him?" Isn't it just a freshman who has entered the school exceptionally? ”

"Since it's a freshman who has entered the school exceptionally, this matter should be handled well." Claire picked up a piece of parchment and opened it, on which was a map of a small area, and the words "Bauhinia Pass" were prominently marked in the lower right corner.

Maddie smiled when she heard this, but her eyes changed when she saw the map in Clal's hand, "Not all exceptional students are like you...... This、This is the map outside the Bauhinia Pass?! ”

"Hmm."

Maddie's face changed, "Could it be ...... Are you going to be a 'ranger' after you graduate? ”

"Hmm." Krar still replied calmly.

Maddie had a panicked look on her face, unable to understand, "Why?" ”

"Because 'he' may still be alive, and just outside the Empire." Clall said firmly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Claire, Avery is dead......" Maddie's face showed unconcealed sadness, but she spoke firmly, like a sharp knife into Claire's chest, because she would never allow Claire to do anything unrecoverable.

"That man didn't die so easily, Maddie," Claire said as she stroked the scar from her face, "I'll get him back." ”

Maddie just sighed, picked up the materials to be sorted out and persuaded Claire: "Give up, Claire, what you can get back in the end will only be the powerless and remorseful self......"

With that, Maddie left the president's office with heavy steps, leaving Claire alone to face the past that should have been forgotten.
