"Willy ......"

When she arrives at the observation deck, she sees her friend at a glance. She was about to say hello when she suddenly noticed another man sitting next to Villette.

He was wearing the robes of the Raspuchin psychic school, but from the outside, it seemed as if it was the first time he had seen him.

Shikodi frowned slightly.

Witches know what happened to their friends. Due to some deliberate alienation and rejection, coupled with Villeret's own straightforward personality, the tower people have always misunderstood her. Except for herself, she has no one who can call her close friend.

And there are almost no peers of the opposite sex who can be called "acquaintances...... Except for the Duncan Davy who used to be.

Sadly, he chose to betray Villerite in the end.

Poeti learns the news from a member of the Black Blood Society: in other words, the guy himself has given up the opportunity to get close to Willy, and even refuses to be a friend.

Poeti thought it was a very stupid decision.

Even if you put aside your emotions and consider it from the perspective of interests alone, it is very rare to have a trustworthy friend like Wellilet who does not have to worry about betrayal in the magic tower and even in the wizarding world.

Although this statement is a bit murky - if it were to be seen from Poetry's point of view, even if it was through deception, she would do whatever it took to maintain the friendship.

But now, Willie was talking and laughing with someone of the opposite sex she had never seen before......

Speaking of this, Poeti suddenly had a strange instinct, she felt that the man's voice was a little familiar—she wasn't sure if it was her own delusion, because it was not uncommon for people to be dressed in this way in the Magic Tower.

Poetic made it with a handy little spell, and although her face was disguised, her voice did not change. It sounds like a young man about his own age.

…… I guess I've never seen it.

"You're here, Poem."

The blonde witch turned her head when she heard the footsteps, waving at herself with a happy expression. She looked in high spirits.

Poet bowed slightly, walked over to the two of them, and her eyes fell on Richard's body.

"May I ask who this is ......?"

She asked, smiling, a curious expression.

"He's ......"

Villeret's gaze turned to Richard.

"Allow me to introduce myself, Miss Miller."

Richard coughed dryly.

"I'm Ricardo Isaac, just call me Ricardo."

Ricardo and Richard are pronounced similarly; As for the surname, it is "Isaac", which is closely related to the name "Abraham" - he doesn't care what he calls himself, but he chooses it casually.

"Mr. Ricardo...... Is it? ”

Silky blinked, and said in a gentle voice.

"I don't think I've ever met you in the Tower before."

Richard was wondering if he was going to find an excuse to send the other party away, but his caring student had already taken the initiative to speak.

"Ricardo is the person who is close to the teacher, and he has been in the core of the Great Temple in the past, and few people will notice him."

"You say...... He was a student of Mr. Rasputchin? ”

Sycody was a little surprised.

"No, I'm the only student of the teacher." Violet shook her head, "But he's as secluded as the teacher. ”

“...... It's just an assistant to some magical experiment. ”

Richard replied in a slightly proud tone.

That's not lying. He was really helping Rasputin with experiments in the beginning.

"I see."

Poet nodded her head to show that she understood, and exclaimed.

"That's pretty remarkable, I think there are very few students in this tower who can do this, and that's to participate in the experiment of a legendary wizard, and the chief students rarely have the opportunity to do this......"

She suddenly seemed to realize something.

"Are you the type of wizard who would rather spend your time in the lab and library?"

“...... Uh, sort of, right? ”

"Your thirst for knowledge is respectable. But, in this way, is it the first time that Mr. Ricardo has participated? ”

"Yes."

"If so, be careful, hunting is a very dangerous activity, and every year there are young wizards who die on the way, and there are not a few people who are seriously injured and left with lifelong regrets because they are not treated in time."

The silver-haired girl's expression became serious.

"We're heading out into a treacherous wilderness, and the School Directors and leaders can't protect us as much as they do in the Magic Tower. Even if it's a collective action, be careful. In particular, the goal of this time...... Mr. Ricardo must have heard about it, right? ”

“...... It's a fog demon, right? ”

"That's right, it's a very troublesome demon with unpredictable abilities, and has a reputation for being silent and unnoticeable. The prey they target is often swept into a thick mist and disappears without realizing that they are dying—which is actually a sign of being swallowed by a fog demon. ”

“…… Thanks for the reminder. ”

Richard nodded.

Probably because of his self-proclaimed relationship with Rasputin's experimental assistant, Sycody saw Richard as a wizard who was not good at fighting, so he kindly warned him.

For some reason, every time he noticed Miss Miller's clear eyes, he felt a subtle feeling, and he had let go of his worries recently, but the mood still did not improve.

"So be it."

As Richard pondered why, Poety continued.

"If Monsieur Ricardo doesn't mind, I'll arrange for you to be with me when the team leaves, so that I can protect you. Comparatively speaking, I am more experienced in dealing with demons......"

“…… Huh? ”

It wasn't Richard, of course, who made a strange startled voice, but some blonde.

Villette, noticing that both of them were looking at her, realized that she was a little out of shape, and replied dryly.

"But, he's a member of the Rasputinian—"

"It's okay."

The silver-haired girl replied with a smile.

"It's just to call someone over, and I still have the right to do that."

That's a modest look. Shi Kodi is the general leader of this spring hunt, and it can be said that the leadership of the entire hunting team is in her hands.

"Not the ...... of the problem"

Willett hesitated, but opened her private communication with her friend.

"Little poem, Ricardo probably got the teacher's order to go to the wilderness to collect or look for 'something' before he came out of the laboratory to participate in the spring hunt. Because before leaving, the teacher had specifically instructed me to take care of him......"

"Is that so?"

The smile on Sycodi's face didn't change in the slightest.

"It's easy to solve, in that case, Willy, you can come along. If there is an inconvenient occasion, you can help me. ”

"Uh, what does that mean......?"

"I mean," said the silver-haired witch word for word, "the three of us need to stay together in the spring hunt. ”
