When I came out of the mercenary union and returned to a certain courtyard, it was already getting a little dark. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when Xia Gang walked into the courtyard, she saw an unexpected person.

"Hey, you're already out?"

Yes, the person she saw was none other than a magical girl who had disappeared for three days, Alexie Dio Raldafe.

In the middle of the courtyard was a small one-legged round table, in the center of which stood a lit candle, and on the table was a delicate tea set, in which the heat was curling, and Alexie herself sat leisurely in a chair, holding an unknown cup of tea in her hand, savoring it.

"Already?"

Hearing Xia's words, Alex just glanced at her lightly, repeating the pronunciation of a certain word, and then, she put down the teacup in her hand, and said in an inexplicable tone: "It sounds like you don't welcome me out, Xia! I heard that you have been looking for me for the past few days, but when I came out to breathe, I heard the news, and I have been waiting for you until now......"

"Uh......"

This little girl, who seems to be a lot of grievances, probably has been waiting for herself for a long time, right?

Xia guessed in his heart, and became a little vigilant, because this little girl was so smart and sensitive, and just because she said something slightly surprised, she immediately realized the fact that she didn't really want her to come out of the magic laboratory so soon.

It seems that I can't be careless about every word! Is it because I haven't dealt with this little fox for too long, so that I have forgotten the existence of the crisis and lost my due vigilance and vigilance?

Well, no matter what, this little girl must not be allowed to know that she is studying the 'War Spirit'!

Natsu was secretly alert to herself in her heart, but she began to judge the other party's current situation from Alexie's words: Come out to breathe? That is, her magic experiment was not completed?

Moreover, judging from the current aura of this little girl, there has really not been much change in the past few days, and it is estimated that her strength has not improved.

Not...... This is good news, after all, her research on the power of the battle soul has not yet begun, if this little girl has completed the magic experiment now and improved her magic strength, then she will have a headache!

Thinking about it like this, Xia's heart was a little relieved, and his mood became relaxed.

"Hah, this... Sorry, sorry, I came back a little late!"

She glanced at Alexie a few times, but found that this little girl was wearing a set of black and purple delicate dresses, with a noble and mysterious temperament, and her appearance was vaguely familiar.

Well, this kind of dress, as if in the manor last time... I've seen this little girl go through it once, right?

Xia recalled it for a moment and judged where this familiarity was coming from.

"Coming back late?"

Seeing that she actually took the initiative to admit her mistake, Alexie glanced at her with some surprise, and then, the girl picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, and hummed in a playful tone: "Hmph, is it because I was finally given a few days off by the 'master', so I ran out to play crazy every day, and I went out early and returned late, and I was about to forget my 'identity'?"

"Hey, don't make fun of me!"

Seeing that this little girl was going to joke with herself as a master and servant, her expression couldn't help but change, and she warned in a deep voice.

You know, things always change little by little, in case this little girl gradually forms her own thinking habits when she talks and talks, then she is really secretly taught by the other party!

A contract mark in the heart of her soul made it impossible for her not to think about it.

"Well, forget it. ”

Alex also seemed to know that she would accept it when she saw it in this kind of thing, and she didn't dwell on it much, and then, the girl's tone was correct, and she asked, "So, to get down to business, what are you looking for me these days?"

The implication is that she should hurry up and say something, so as not to waste her precious time.

"Hmph, here's the way it is,"

Xia glared at Alexie, and didn't bother to bother with this little girl about what had just happened, she pulled a chair, also sat next to the small round table, and unceremoniously poured herself a cup of tea, but drank it like a cow chewing a peony, making a certain magical girl roll her eyes at her rude behavior of not knowing how to taste tea at all: "In the evening a few days ago, I met a man on the street. ”

"Huh?"

Alexie snorted and didn't bother to ask what the fuss was about meeting someone on the street, because it was a boring question that only the guy across from him would ask. Alexie knew that since this guy would mention this person, it must be because the other party had something special, otherwise he wouldn't keep asking the old butler about his whereabouts.

Sure enough, someone went on to speak---

"The man looked strong, about 1.9 meters tall, with short blond hair and a black cloak, and his eyes were fierce and seemed to be very hostile to me. Moreover, he himself gave me a very strange feeling, and when I saw him, I... No, more precisely, this body, it would make me feel a strong emotion of extreme disgust for him!"

"Disgusted?"

Alexie's expression remained unchanged, except for repeating a certain word in her mouth.

"No, you didn't hear me, I mean the extreme disgust, the one that even the will can't refrain from avoiding! Like seeing someone who had borrowed a lot of money from me suddenly reappear in front of me after disappearing for decades...... Eh, that's supposed to be the case, right? Hey, forget it......"

Natsu recalled the emotion he felt at the time, and denied the words of a certain magical girl, and somewhat aggravated his tone: "In addition, I also felt a hint of danger from him, if I didn't guess wrong, his strength should not be below any enemy I had encountered before, so I didn't choose to make a move at that time." Not...... That's probably how it was then, Alexie, what do you know about who that person is?"

"Yes......"

Alexie was not moved by the change in her tone, and even, to her question, the magical girl answered in the affirmative: "Then, the person you are talking about, he should be from the church." ”

"The church?"

It's not the first time Natsu has heard Alexie mention this church, you know, after she escaped from the vampire castle and came outside the dark forest, the magical girl has been reminding herself to be careful to hide the racial characteristics of vampires such as fangs and bloody eyes, otherwise she will attract the attention of the church and get into trouble.

So, the man who made him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart was the person from the church that the little girl kept reminding her?

"Yes, the blood essence in your body belongs to the blood clan, and its power source conflicts with the attributes of the power of the Holy Light of the Church, so you instinctively feel that person is very annoying. Alexie nodded affirmatively and sat steadily, and then the girl picked up the cup again and took a sip: "And in fact, the other party felt about the same as you at that time. ”

"Conflicting...... Restraint relationship?"

Hearing this, Xia couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "So, the power of the Holy Light of the Church, it is the nemesis of the Blood Clan?"

If this is the case, then wouldn't the Bloods have to hide when they see the people of the church?

Gee... That's pathetic!

Uh, wait, I seem to be one of the vampires now, eh!

In this regard, Alex shook her head and denied her speculation: "Nemesis is not necessarily, it is probably like the relationship between water and fire, more water can extinguish the fire, more fire can evaporate the water, the key is to see which side is the quality and quantity! And, unfortunately, the vampires you belong to are classified as dark creatures...... So, in order to avoid trouble, it is better for you to hide a little when you meet them in the future, so as not to accidentally be caught by them and brought to trial. ”

As she spoke, a certain magical girl's gaze glanced at someone, and she seemed to have some ill-intentioned looks.

“......”

Tsk, when you say that, how do I feel cold on the back of my neck!

Living as a vampire in this magical world is like dancing on the tip of a knife......

The thought of one day being surrounded by people from the church who profess to be righteous and tying themselves to the stake for a bonfire barbecue meeting, one person said that he was under a lot of pressure.

She hurriedly poured a cup of tea and drank the shock, still having some doubts in her heart: "Since it is not a unilateral restraint relationship, then, the reason why I felt a trace of danger from that person's body at that time really means that his strength is very strong?"

"Strength...?"

In response to her question, Alexie suddenly fell silent, and the girl put down the teacup in her hand, her thin eyebrows furrowed slightly, and turned to a thoughtful expression with her right hand supporting her chin.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

Xia felt that this little girl's reaction was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

However, a certain magical girl ignored her, and her blue eyes flickered slightly, and she was silent for a while before finally making a move.

A soft murmur sounded, the magical girl raised her right hand, and used her index finger to outline a complicated magic mark in midair, and then, the black and purple light flashed, and a pure black butterfly appeared on the girl's fingertips, Alexie's eyes stared at it, and her lips moved silently, and after a while, the girl raised her right hand, only to see the black butterfly flutter its wings a few times, fly away, and soon disappear into the dim night.

This is the magic she had seen the other party use, the Dark Butterfly.

"What are you...?"

Seeing this, Xia's eyes condensed slightly, and her tone was slightly puzzled, but she had some understanding in her heart.

Could it be that this so-called church is not the same as the 'Witch's Hand' organization to which the little girl belongs?

Tut...... If that's the case, it's interesting!

Seeing the solemn expression of a certain magical girl, the corners of Xia's mouth couldn't help but bend a playful arc, and she was quite excited for a while.

“... Okay, now that I know what happened, I'm going to keep an eye on the person you're talking about. ”

After releasing the 'Dark Butterfly', Alexie just glanced at the guy who directly put his curiosity on his face, and took the initiative to end the topic, and then, the girl's tone changed, and asked her, "I heard that you have been running to the Bired Arena in the north of the city for the past few days, to see some competitive competition, are you so idle?"

"Ha ......"

Seeing that this little girl actually wanted to change the topic, she couldn't help but be more interested in the relationship between the two, but she wouldn't show this in front of this little girl, and secretly investigating was the right way: "This, it's just a little boring." After all, you've been busy with some important magic experiments, and I don't dare bother you! I have nothing to do, but my body is about to rust, so I have to find something to do......

"Yes......"

Hearing her obviously perfunctory reason, Alexie was noncommittal, and didn't seem to intend to delve into the secret behind her behavior, but reminded her in a flat tone: "Well, forget it, if you meet that type of person again, remember to pay attention to your own safety, and it's best not to take the initiative to provoke them." ”

"Oh, do they dare to do it in this city of Villidy?"

Hearing this, someone's eyes narrowed and he asked rhetorically.

You know, there is a 'Witch's Hand' branch in the city, and it should be the territory of the organization to which this little girl belongs, right?

Alexie didn't bother to pay attention to her tentative behavior, the girl stood up, turned around and walked to the small building behind her, and only threw her a sentence: "Hmph, if everything can be judged so simply, there will be no such thing as 'accidents', stupid summer!"

“...... Well, good night, little girl!"

Someone who was still sitting in a chair picked up a teacup and shouted at the back of a magical girl, smiling at the corners of his mouth.

From the other party's words, she has already got the answer she wants.

It's just that, 'I heard'... Is it?

It seems that the task about the 'War Spirit' that I released in the Mercenary Guild not long ago should not let anyone in this courtyard know!

Well, let's go and change the notification address of the task tomorrow......

Xia raised his eyes to look at the sky, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, but in his heart he decided to go to a mercenary union again.
