In the afternoon, the pale golden sunlight shone lightly on the lawn, staining the edges of the verdant green leaves with a touch of gold.

There was a luxuriant tree on the lawn, and two people sat under it—a petite maiden, leaning on the shoulder of the blonde boy for a while, her eyes almost completely closed, and she was drowsy.

"Teresa......" Shul blinked, sensing that something was "wrong" with the girl.

They said they were talking about recent events, but as soon as they sat down, the goldfinch began to feel sleepy.

And it looks pretty sleepy.

"Hmm. I'm sorry. Goldfinch's free hand reached out in front of his eyes, trying to rub his eyes, but was gently held by Shuer.

She looked up at her, a little confused.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep. Shuer said softly, "It's not good to rub your eyes......"

Both hands were held in the palm of his hand, but the goldfinch said no more, because it was really ...... Too sleepy.

Actually, she doesn't usually feel anything, but after meeting Shul, her tense nerves will unconsciously relax, so much so that she almost forgets all the "important things".

Even why he came here.

Shure then watched as the Plantageng unconsciously closed his eyes completely, and his head swayed slightly, and the amplitude of the swing gradually increased—

Oh.

Shure blinked, and there were some strange sounds in his heart, which on the one hand made him "come back to his senses", and found himself so close to her that he could feel her soft breathing.

He was silent for a moment, and then as if he had made a decision, he did not ignore the small voice inside him—he leaned over slowly, and his lips gently touched her slightly cool forehead.

There was probably nothing else that could have made him so careful.

When the goldfinch woke up in Shure's arms, he found that it was a little late.

"Ah...... I'm sorry. She yawned, and there was a rare hint of slackness in her expression.

"It's okay...... I've taken a leave of absence. Shul smiled, and replied a little carelessly, for the attention was on the somewhat cute look of the goldfinch.

The Golden Finch does not seem to be a "normal person", and she keeps herself in a state of nervous tension all the time, which makes people feel a little bit of everyday style in her body at this time.

She looked ordinary, but when she showed an ordinary look, Shuer's heart moved slightly.

"That's right. Goldfinch frowned, "How long is the vacation at the Santa Fes Training Center." ”

"You can exchange it for extra training, it's okay. "Shovel.

In fact, there is no holiday, and it is more likely to be "exchanged" at other times, so it can be seen that this afternoon with the goldfinch is already a luxury rest time for him.

"Good work. The Plantagenet paused, reaching out to touch his head, but he found himself so accustomed to the action that he paused slightly.

Shul didn't mind, but bent down slightly, rubbing her palm—the goldfinch touched his soft ear.

The goldfinch remembered what had happened before, and was in a delicate mood, with a slight pink on his face.

"What do Teresa have for the afternoon?" asked Shure.

"I don't remember, I guess there was a class. The Goldfinch frowned.

She doesn't really remember what classes she had - she doesn't go to class anyway, so she follows Jolina to find a classroom every day and just sits.

"That'...... Can you go with me to Professor Herris?" Schul added.

The Plantagenet was stunned and nodded.

It seems that Shull will leave the Santa Fes Training Institute at noon today, and it has something to do with Professor Herris.

However, if the two have an agreement, this time ......

"I told him that it would be nice to go straight to his class in the afternoon. Shul saw the doubt on the Sparrow's face and quickly explained.

【③】

Shul was still too light.

Herris was actually in a ...... mood Tired.

He had a habit of taking a nap, and he wanted to go back to sleep after talking to Shuer, but who knew that he unexpectedly released the pigeons.

When he knew that he was with the Golden Finch and could not come for the time being, he fell into an even greater entanglement.

So in this afternoon's class, Herris's expression was a little more erratic than anyone had ever seen before—but what impressed him the most was probably that he seemed to be a little more ruthless......

It seems to be a tendency to train people to death......

——

"Professor Herris?" Herris, with a half-dark face, was in a state that no one dared to mess with, when he suddenly heard Shure's voice—he raised his eyes, and sure enough, saw Shull—taking the hand of the Golden Finch, and appeared in front of him.

...... That's enough, because a girl just lets him go, so why do you show up in front of him holding hands?

He doesn't want to lose face?!

“...... Well. But Herris didn't really say anything, and just glanced at them.

It was the others who were surprised.

There were still rumors that the Golden Finch was the murderer of Joan's black shadow, and Shuer "broke up" with her for this, but it didn't take long for the two to appear more intimate in front of the public than before.

？？？？？

——

"You've decided you're going to join the Santa Fes Institute?" Herris led the two to the common room, sat down, and didn't talk nonsense.

In fact, Shuer has not officially joined at this time - there is an adaptation period, if you don't adapt, if you really don't want to, you can retreat.

But it's not like you can retreat if you want to, it depends on Lajor's opinion, it's very troublesome.

What's more, Xiuer really can't adapt.

......It is rare that Shuer did not give an accurate answer.

He didn't really care about the training, all he cared about was the goldfinch.

If the Golden Finch hadn't made a surprise appearance at noon today, he might have confirmed the matter with Herris.

But......

Shure couldn't help but glance at the Golden Finch.

The goldfinch kept her head down at this time, not knowing what she was thinking.

...... She didn't want to join herself.

In that case, things are probably a bit ......

"I thought you had already made up your mind. Seeing this, Herris keenly sensed that things were not so simple.

I also feel that it probably has something to do with the goldfinch.

"It would have been. Shul smiled bitterly.

But not much to say.

"Then I'll go talk to Lajor. Who knew that Herris suddenly said—as if he knew that Shul was in a quandary.

Looks like I'm still going to help him.

"Professor Herris......" Shul was stunned for a moment, suddenly not knowing how to express his feelings.

"I don't know why you're going to join, and I can't help much, anyway, I don't like that guy very well, and if you suddenly change your mind, I still have a way. Herris said slowly.

How can an ordinary professor do anything?

Others may not know, but the goldfinch knows the identity of Herris.

In Shure's opinion, although he has some vague feelings about this, he is also grateful to Herris.

"Larol......" Kindfinch suddenly spoke, she raised her head, and when she saw the gaze of the two, she seemed to remember something, and fell into a trance and her voice was a little dazed, "He wasn't like this before. ”
