Chapter Forty-Eight: Charlotte and the Headmaster

In the eastern part of the imperial capital, in a long-tattered grain and distillery, there was a languid-looking emaciated bearded man, and to his right, rows of empty and broken wine bottles were placed, colliding with each other from time to time, making a crisp clanging sound.

The strong wind blew, raising gusts of dust that were unsightly, and the man couldn't help but turn sideways a little helplessly, pulled the black trench coat in front of him, and covered his face.

"Hiccup. The man first burped in a coma, and suddenly overflowed with a thick pungent smell of alcohol, spreading in all directions.

"So, it's annoying to have nothing to do. The man let out a low sigh and poked his head out of his trench coat.

"Hehe, why don't I give you something to do?" Just as the man was curling up, there was a sudden sound of creaking wooden planks shaking in his ears, and the man couldn't help but turn his head to look, but he saw a young man with a sunny face, who came to his side unconsciously, sat on the wooden board casually, and looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, what, it's you. When the man saw the young man, he immediately showed a look of regret and disappointment, and moved his body to the side, as if he wanted to distance himself from the young man.

The young man smiled heartily, and with a slight jump, he fell directly in front of the man and sat down again.

"It's too much, I came to you to fulfill your wishes, and you did this to me?"

"Anyway, it's all boring chores, and I can't get motivated at all. With a dejected expression, the man sat up from the plank.

"Do you or not?" the boy smiled, with a confident expression.

"Alas......" The bearded man let out a long sigh at first, and then glanced at the boy with a lazy gaze, "Say, what is the mission this time?"

The corners of the boy's mouth rose, and he took out a photo marked with a mysterious number, handed it to the bearded man, and said with a smile: "The Demon Hunt card with registration number I427D8 has shown signs of deletion in the Demon Hunt member records updated yesterday, so I need you to investigate this member." ”

"Deleted?" the bearded man muttered weakly as he took the photo, "Does that mean the card has been destroyed?"

The young man nodded, then raised his head slightly as if he was reminiscing, revealing a clean and pure smile, and said, "Originally, looking at his eyes full of distorted hatred, I thought that he was all the way with us, so I gave him that card." ”

"But, alas. The young man's smile suddenly retracted, and his eyes became cold and ruthless, "He really doesn't know how to cherish my mercy so much, he really deserves to die to apologize!"

The bearded man glanced at the photo, then faintly withdrew his gaze, looked at the young man on the side again, and when he saw his complicated expression, he couldn't help but hit a hache, and asked casually: "You mean, you want me to directly erase him?"

"That's boring. The boy suddenly regained his warm smile and smiled lightly at the man, "Besides, this is a mission that you have managed to get so hard, and if you finish it too soon, you will be bored, right?"

"Is that whatever I want?" the man suddenly showed an interested look, no longer with his previous lazy meaning.

"Naturally, it's just a miscellaneous worm anyway, no matter how you play it. ”

After the young man finished his last sentence, he jumped off the plank, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and disappeared into the misty dust in front of him.

The bearded man sat on the wooden plank and stretched his waist, smiled at the photo in his hand, and muttered, "Then, it's time to go to work." ”

......

In the student council room in the evening, after greeting Charlotte in turn, the student council members packed up their papers and left the student council room one by one, leaving only Tia and Charlotte.

After Charlotte put down the black tea in her hand, she asked Tia, "Recently, how is the situation on the side of the Ministry of Servants?"

"Hmm...... All the best, the one named Starlight doesn't seem to be acting out of the ordinary. ”

Tia replied absent-mindedly, as if there was something on her mind, and Charlotte couldn't help frowning a little suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?

"Not really. Tia instantly sensed her sluggishness, and hurriedly cheered up, her face becoming cold again.

As if to distract from the topic, Tia frowned tightly and looked at Charlotte puzzled, "President, I don't understand, why do you need to care so much about the state of Starlight and Lin Yi?"

This matter has always been the point of confusion for Tia, it is obviously two ordinary students who can no longer be ordinary, do they need to spend so much energy to pay attention to them?

For this reason, he also arranged himself among them.

Charlotte glanced at Tia deeply, and although she knew Tia's intentions, she could only continue with his wishes.

"Actually, I don't know much about this, but I was entrusted by the principal to pay strict attention to the two of them. ”

"Headmaster?" Tia's face grew even more puzzled, and she muttered, "Why did the Headmaster give such a strange order?"

"Who knows, maybe it's just worrying about my sister, after all, the two of them live in the same dormitory. Charlotte took a sip of black tea and said with a light smile.

"Sister...... Sister?...... The same dormitory?" Tia froze instantly, this shocking and huge amount of information made him unable to react for a while, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground at some point.

After a long time, Tia finally reacted, and tilted her head a little helplessly.

"But...... In that case, wouldn't it be enough to separate the two of them from the dormitory?" Tia wondered.

Xia Luo shook her head, and her expression was also a little dazed: "To be honest, I think the same way, and I once gave advice to the principal, but for some reason, the principal refused. ”

"No, can you refuse this?" said Tia's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Haha, that's weird, isn't it? I had the same look on your face when I heard the headmaster's refusal. Charlotte couldn't help but laugh heartily and sighed.

"Hmm...... What the hell is the headmaster thinking? The boys and girls live in the same dormitory, and if the other students find out, it will cause a huge sensation! Even if the object is his sister, he can't be so nonsense!"

"No, it's because Lin Yi is his sister that he shouldn't be so nonsense!"

Tia yelled in annoyance, and Charlotte on the side laughed.

After a long time, Charlotte's smile gradually faded, as if she was completely tired after a day's work, drank the black tea on the table, and waved goodbye to Tia: "Then, I have other things to do, so I will go back first, the key to the meeting room is in my drawer, remember to lock it when you leave in a while." ”

"Oh......" Tia replied in surprise, with a look of surprise on her face.

In the past, the president was the last person to leave the meeting room, so why did he advance today?

But doubts are doubts, Tia still nodded at Charlotte, and watched Charlotte walk out of the department.

At six o'clock in the evening, Charlotte stood in front of an elegant attic, solemnly straightened the collar on her chest, and gently pushed open the door of the attic.

Inside, a young man with a delicate face and a sunny gentlemanly aura was sitting at his desk, raising his head slightly, and looking at Charlotte in front of him with a smile.

"How's the task entrusted to you going?" asked the young man first, his voice very magnetic.

Xia Luo's eyes were slightly gloomy, and she came to the young man's side and said solemnly: "Everything is going well, Xinghui has not made any relevant investigation against your sister. ”

"Really?" the young man turned his swivel chair and nodded with some satisfaction, continuing to Charlotte, "You haven't told anyone about the task I entrusted you, have you?"

"No, I prevaricated on the grounds that you cared about your sister. ”

"Haha, do you care about your sister?" the young man chuckled, and suddenly got up and praised Charlotte heavily, "It's a good reason!"

Xia Luo's eyes flickered slightly, and after a few moments of silence, he finally clenched his fists and asked in a condensed voice at the young man: "Headmaster, I have something to understand, is there anything that Lin Yi can't see? Why do you want me to do my best to stop Xinghui from investigating Lin Yi?"

The young man's expression froze slightly, and then he suddenly burst out laughing, shook his head, and said, "You asked this question, if I say yes, do you still have to force it to ask?"

"No...... No. Xia Luo lowered her head, her face a little stiff, "It's just that Lin Yi always gives me a very familiar feeling, so I ......"

"Hahaha!" Before Charlotte could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the young man's uncontrollable laughter, and he couldn't help but raise his head slightly and look at the young man in front of him.

But I saw the young man holding his belly with one hand, lying on the desk and laughing wildly, and even a few tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and Xia Luo was a little confused.

"Headmaster?" After a long time, Charlotte finally let out a tentative soft exhalation, dripping cold sweat and dripping coldly.

"Haha, I'm sorry, your words are exactly the same as the words you said to girls in the early years, I can't help it. The young man wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I didn't ...... Headmaster, I didn't mean that!" Charlotte said with some eagerness.

"It's okay, it's okay. The young man waved his hand indifferently and teased at Xia Luo again, "However, if you are really interested in Xiao Yi, I don't mind." ”

Charlotte's face was slightly red, and her mouth was open, a little speechless.

"Xiao Yi, she's very beautiful, isn't she? Even if it's placed in the entire empire, it's one of the best beauties, don't you really want to fight for it?"

"No......" Charlotte lowered her head a little embarrassed, the roots of her ears suddenly became extremely red, and she said softly, "It's really rude today, I still have some work to deal with, so I'll go back first." ”

As he spoke, he escaped from the young man's regretful sigh as if he pretended to ignore it, escaped from the principal's office in a puff of smoke, and disappeared into the corridor.

In the attic, the young man's regretful expression suddenly disappeared, he closed his eyes, and said with a light smile: "It seems that he has noticed something, what to do, you know?"

"I'll keep a close eye on him. A sweet woman's voice suddenly sounded from the shadows with a bit of coldness, but it disappeared in an instant, and the dead silence was eerie.
