Unable to find the mark left on Dyce's trouser leg, Ricardo returned the way he came, accompanying Fleur back to her home.

"Let's have dinner at my house today." Fleur seemed to have forgotten her previous embarrassment and smiled and offered the invitation.

Originally, she was ready for Ricardo to excuse herself, and she summoned Gabrielle to obstruct it, after all, before, this guy seemed to be a little afraid of this kind of family dinner—maybe it should be said that he was yearning and afraid, but he didn't realize that Ricardo's eyes lit up and he agreed.

"I was just about to talk to your parents about something." He said.

"Gabrielle!" Fleur hurriedly shouted, "Brother Silva is here!" ”

The little silver-haired dumpling walked out, first rushed to Ricardo with a hug in joy, and then looked at her sister with a bad face suspiciously, and asked, "How do I remember that every time Brother Silva came, you didn't want to call me?" ”

Little Girl...... Fleur's silver teeth clenched, and the words to be said came out of her mouth word by word: "Give, I, recruit, wait, one, down, Ricardo, I, go, cook, room, help, help!! The last word was almost shouted.

Ricardo smiled and touched Gabrielle's silver hair: "You did it on purpose, Xiaobai cut black?" ”

"Shrimp?" The little girl tilted her head cutely, as if she had a big question mark on her head.

……

"What's wrong with you, Ricardo?"

Fleur looked at the distracted boy a little strangely and kicked him in the ankle.

It was mealtime, and he was a little absent-minded, munching on the dinner on his plate.

"Is the food unappetizing?" Fleur's mother, Apollin, asked.

Ricardo looked at the worried Fleur family, let out a long breath, and put down the dishes seriously.

"I have to say something." He said.

In the incomprehensible eyes of everyone, he told all the things related to the blood clan, including the arrest of Fleur last year.

"I'm sorry to put your daughter in danger," Ricardo finally apologized, "The Bloodline is very well hidden, and it likes to affect relatives and friends, and I can't eliminate these threats right away." ”

"I'll help her do a little bit of protection, but after all, you are her guardian and have the right to know about it."

After Ricardo finished speaking, he looked at Fleur's parents with some trepidation. He expected to see two gloomy faces, but unexpectedly—

Those were two smiles.

"Before Fleur went to school, you rescued her from the dark wizard," Fleur's father raised his glass and saluted Ricardo across the table, "When you were in the second grade, you fought with all the senior students to punish the students who spread rumors about my daughter, and now we don't pay salaries, you still often care about the little guy's studies, will you make her suffer?"

"It's a bit of a brainstorm......," he muttered, and before he could finish it, Apolline stuffed a steak in his mouth and looked at Ricardo kindly.

"I also believe that Ricardo Silva will protect Fleur Isabel Delacul." Isabel is the middle name of Hibiscus.

Ricardo looked at Apollin's kind smile and, for some reason, blushed a little. (Please don't misunderstand, this is the normal reaction of the quasi-son-in-law to see the quasi-mother, thank you)

They quickly finished their meal, Fleur's father went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Apollin took Gabrielle and Ricardo to the room after saying goodbye, hiding from something.

"Thank you."

Fleur leaned against the threshold, bowed her head, and said for no reason.

"Thanks for what?"

"Thank you...... Thank you for helping me out," Fleur looked up, her eyes still wandering, "No wonder no one has mocked me since second grade......

"So there are people bullying you in the first grade?"

“●０●！ Thank you anyway. ”

"Of course, it's human nature to protect the short," Ricardo said lightly, "and the biggest headache right now should be the issue of the Bloodline......"

"I trust you," Fleur said with a smile, "you're going to fix this, aren't you?" ”

"Of course," Ricardo was stunned and nodded, "I'll definitely keep an eye on these people, even if it's ......"

He bit his lower lip, a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

Sometimes, it is not possible to use such unreasonable means.

He captured the dark wizard in order to earn extra money and practice, as for the heart of justice? If he really had this thing, why didn't he just report Chino last semester?

But...... First of all, you have to give the little guy a little equipment, although it seems that he doesn't have to worry about his life, but he still has to take some precautions.

"It's dungstone, I went to Severus last year and asked for one, and he had that disgusted look at the time, haha...... But he gave me another one for Christmas, and he'll give it to you, anti-virus. ”

"This is one of my bracers for self-defense, and there are quite a few explosive weapons in it...... Alas, alas, don't play with it, take it yourself to familiarize, it's very simple, and it can be used against the enemy when the magic is exhausted. ”

"Oh, by the way, this is a magic bracer made for you, there are three magic patterns on it: armor, illumination, and fire charm, each of which can be used five times - you can't afford more bracers, here's how to use it......"

"And these magic cards......"

"This Wizard Self-Defense ......"

“……”

Ricardo babbled, as if sensing something, and looked up to see Fleur's eyes sparkling, looking at him without blinking.

At this time, the bright moon rose, and a halo shattered into the girl's sky-blue eyes, scattering into a little bit of fine diamond.

- It looks like a starry sky.

……

Fleur sat at the table, staring blankly as the light shone on the boy's back.

"What, my girl? Do you still want to send him to him and never return all night? ”

A brisk and teasing voice suddenly sounded, and Fleur retreated sharply as if surprised by something, her snow-white cheeks stained a faint crimson.

- It was her mother, Apollin Delacour.

"It's okay, we've been watching that boy for four or five years, and we're still very relieved about him. You see, for your safety, he didn't hide the fact that he was targeted by the Bloodline, and looking like that, he was almost ready to cut ties with us......"

"He dares!"

Fleur imagined the scene and shouted involuntarily, only to find her mother looking at her with a smiling smile, so she shyly buried her head in the crook of her arm.

Apollin did not continue to tease Fleur, but sat down beside her and whispered:

"When dealing with an ascetic boy, when approaching, it should be like a gentle and quiet spring water of the Seine, and after attracting his attention, the girl's shy and lovely should be properly displayed."

"When that boy is dark and cautious, no matter what you do, you will be suspected of ulterior motives, and only by undisguised scheming can you get a place in his heart."

"But an eighteen-year-old boy should be a frizzy young man, such a boy...... It should be easier to fall in love with a mature and intellectual sister. ”

“…… Mother! ”

Fleur puffed out her cheeks and glanced at her mother with joy and disgust, her voice was coquettish, and her little face was as red as if she were a steamer.

"Don't think about it, it's just a mother's normal advice to her child......"

Apollin smiled and took out a comb and gently brushed the little girl's hair.

"Meiwa and her descendants are passionate and bold towards their loved ones, which wizards know; The French girl yearns for love, which is famous all over the world. If you like a boy, why hide it in your heart......"

Fleur listened to her mother's chatter without words, and after a long time, she bent her arm to reveal a small gap, and asked in a low voice:

"Mother, what if...... There is a boy who always wants to pretend to be mature and steady in front of me, and looks a little frizzy in front of his elders, and then he is actually a little cautious, so what should I do? ”

Apollin: "......"
