1. Charlotte's new discovery
When did this Charlotte, who is the same as a jewel, change from a beloved and innocent and lively little angel to a little devil who specializes in picking soft persimmons and pinching them, and also changes ways to fix people?
Lilith couldn't remember anything about it, and she didn't want to think about it again. The only thing that can be known is that when Charlotte learned her first magic of her own at a speed that no one could have imagined, under the guidance of Loki, her eyes changed like a little angel.
Ah, metamorphosis, sometimes it really takes place in an instant.
That night, Charlotte slipped outside, and in high spirits began to use the magic she had learned, at the cost of which the grass behind the academy was burned to the ground, and the classroom was almost endangered, and the hut on the grass where Frey used to observe the stars was reduced to ashes under the claws of the flames.
However, Charlotte's side as a little devil is also the side that makes Lilith the most troublesome.
“...... Wow! Charlotte is amazing. In such a large place, it only took a few minutes to burn it clean. Sister Dean will give you a reward tomorrow. ”
After a short pause, Frey suddenly excitedly picked up Charlotte and spun around, and Charlotte also turned into a little angel at this moment.
Hey, it's your house, your academy, and your money that burns down!
"Next time, Sister Dean will prepare a bigger place for you to practice, okay?"
"Hmm!"
Ahhhh......h That's right, that's Charlotte's biggest headache. Maybe it's because the old man likes the nature of children? As long as it's a little bit "old", no matter who it is. They all held Charlotte in the palm of their hands like a baby.
Charlotte has to be praised for everything she does. Even if it's wrong. And they should be forcibly washed into pairs.
Moreover, Loki and Frey naturally needless to say, even their two sisters began to dote on Charlotte unconditionally. Plus Charlotte...... There's some terrible two-sidedness, it's a nightmare.
At a young age, she already knows when she needs to be coquettish and when she can bully soft persimmons. If it weren't for the lychee next to her. If she could still be reminded from time to time, I am afraid that Charlotte is already about to cause an even bigger commotion.
Speaking of Lychee, this little black-haired girl with a completely different personality from Charlotte and who doesn't talk much is an orphan brought back by Sister Anne from the orphanage. Because orphanages don't deliberately name orphans, fruit names are just a code name to temporarily distinguish them.
If you have to count it by age, Lychee should be older than Charlotte, but she looks more like Charlotte's henchman, who will follow Charlotte when she is there. When Charlotte is no longer there, he will sit there quietly alone. Sister Anne categorically wouldn't educate Lychee as Charlotte's follower, so. I'm afraid it's because of the personalities of Charlotte and Lychee that such a relationship will be derived.
But that's fine, at least that day is not afraid, and Charlotte, who is unscrupulous under the doting of several elders, will have a small limit. Ahhhh......h Why, it became like this, obviously I was educating Charlotte according to the model of a perfect woman.
Even if her talent is terrifyingly high, she can remember any book, but she can't make a big fuss in class while studying. And please tutor, you can also discipline a little, okay, you can't acquiesce to Charlotte's troublesome behavior because you are afraid of being fired by Dean Frey.
Yes, in the face of Frey's unconditional doting people, Charlotte will adopt a coquettish strategy to legitimize the bad things she has done, and for herself, the person who is called by Charlotte's mother by mouth, Charlotte's strategy is ......
......
"Charlotte, when you deceive people, remember to collude with everyone who may know, understand?"
As soon as Lilith said this, she regretted it, because it seemed that at that moment, she had inadvertently taught Charlotte something even more incredible. And often on these "crooked ways", Charlotte's learning and memory speed is the most terrifying.
Ahh
"Sleeping in class, although it's already an old problem, but what reason are you going to use this time?"
"It's so boring. ”
Charlotte blinked wide-eyed and gave an answer that Lilith had heard for the first time.
Because before this, Charlotte would not have said so clearly and simply, but used other little tricks to fool the past.
"It's so boring, why should I learn that kind of thing that only kids need to know?"
Because you're a child!
However, this statement really does not seem to be convincing, because in the eyes of Frey, Charlotte is a treasure, and naturally, if Charlotte has anything she wants to know and ask, she will definitely be explained immediately.
Well, sure enough, the knowledge learned from those old guys is enough to make Charlotte feel bored in ordinary classes. But......
But......
"Then why do you have to lift other students' skirts during the break! You're a girl, aren't you?"
What kind of strange fetish is this to make a child who has just turned ten years old do such a thing! And Charlotte is not an ordinary class, how to explain this to her father if she casually lifts someone else's daughter's skirt?
Although in terms of identity, he will definitely not be punished or anything, but, reputation! not only his own, but also Charlotte's, and that girl's reputation!
The mother who raised a female hooligan daughter, a bear child who can lift a skirt of the same sex, and a girl who has her skirt lifted.
"Because she's so cute. ”
“...... She's not the only one who is cute! Oh no, no one's skirt can be lifted casually, right?"
"Cut, but I clearly saw Mom your skirt being ...... Hmmm......"
I have to say that Charlotte's sixth sense is still very sensitive. Because a second before Anne approached. She kept her mouth shut.
If Charlotte really is not afraid of anyone. Then she is estimated to have ruled the world now. Fortunately, she still has a person to fear.
Unlike the overwhelmed Lilith, the doting Frey, and the bullied crowd, Anne is the only one left who will teach Charlotte a stern lesson. Naturally, after discovering that Charlotte was really invincible, he took a bowed and pretended honest attitude towards Anne.
"Tomorrow. I'll take you to admit your mistakes, you know?"
“...... Woo, hmm. ”
Charlotte, who honestly lowered her head, pretended to be about to cry at that moment, so Charlotte gave Lilith a headache.
Because I don't know what the reason is, although Anne will give a very strict education, but often when it comes to the most critical time, her attitude will turn around. And this critical time is often when Charlotte starts to pretend to cry.
Ah, what kind of character can make Charlotte cry when she says it.
"Alright. Don't cry. Anne touched Charlotte's head, and Lychee, who was following Anne without saying a word, also looked away.
Speaking of which. Lychee told me, Charlotte, did you find a strange place?"
"Hmm, huh. Charlotte glared at Lychee fiercely, but because of Anne's relationship, she replied honestly, "Well, I found it during the expedition." ”
"Strange place?" Although she thought it was probably some ruin, Lilith still opened her mouth, "What kind of place is it?"
"Well, I can't tell, it's big anyway, and there's something like water in it, as if you can jump into it. ”
"Pond?"
"I know what a pond is! That place and the pond, no, no, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with water. ”
"That's right. ”
Lilith nodded, though things hadn't risen to the point where she felt weird, "So, is there a marker?" ”
“......”
"Charlotte?"
"Hmm, I'm sorry, I forgot to mark it. ”
Charlotte sighed as she came to Lychee's side, grabbed her hand and walked out, "Let's go out to play!"
"You won't be allowed to stay up all night, you know?"
Lilith sighed as she made meaningless reminders.
Well, I guess it's a hot spring or something, so there's no need to worry too much.
......
"Charlotte ......"
While being dragged and running wildly, Lychee asked, "Isn't that place already marked?"
"How~ how can I tell them, then I don't have to explore, just sit at home and drink tea. ”
After going out, Xia Luo, who was immediately replaced by a different person, said to Lychee behind him, "I won't settle accounts with you for the matter of you actually going to tell the whistle, and now, immediately, immediately, go there with me again." ”
"But it wasn't ...... last time"
"Isn't that called an investigation, but just going around there is also called an investigation?"
"I always felt that the 'water' there was very similar to what Old Lady Frey said was a substance, but I don't know if it's true. ”
"Well, Charlotte, Frey is a sister, not an old woman. ”
"Are you stupid? That's what she says?"
Charlotte patted Lychee's head, "I've investigated, that old woman, I don't know what age she is, ah, she still has to pretend to be tender in front of me, it's really inferior." Ah, by the way, you're going to snitch this time, you know?"
"Oh. ”
"Uh-huh, that's right. ”
Nodding contentedly, Charlotte saw a carriage driven by the guards.
For the little devil in this city, it is estimated that he has already received a request to obey the order unconditionally, and soon, the carriage, which was mostly with other tasks, changed its route and carried Charlotte and Lychee to a short distance outside the city.
The strange place I discovered before is also here, but in order not to let others know, I have to walk a little further.
"Whew, no matter how you look at it, it's super weird here. ”
After wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead, Charlotte left the lychee and sped up, because the little attendant behind her would definitely chase after her.
Although she had seen similar things, it was the first time that Charlotte had seen this kind of purple, steaming liquid. Even if it's a hot spring, it shouldn't look purple.
It's not too wide, but it's okay to fit one person in, but it's ...... I don't know what the depth is, because purple itself is dark, and with the constant heat coming out, it's hard to judge this...... The depth of something that looks like a well.
"Charlotte, sure enough, it's better to leave it to Auntie to take a look, okay?"
Lychee has always been very cautious about this strange place, but unfortunately, no matter how much she persuades her, Charlotte can't listen.
"It's not like a place for us to play. ”
"And where do you think is right for us, and do you want to play hide and seek with those fools?"
Charlotte pouted, "If I want to hide from them and never find them for the rest of my life, can't you complain a little less?
“......”
"It's rare to come here once, and you can't waste the opportunity. ”
Charlotte said and leaned her nose over and sniffed hard, "Strange...... There was no taste, I thought it would be grape. It doesn't seem to taste good, lychee, you stand back. ”
"Hmm. ”
Charlotte picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it forward, but no other information was heard than a "pop" sound. However, at least it proves that this strange liquid is not corrosive.
Now it's time to measure its depth.
After waiting for Lychee to run around and finally find a longer branch, Charlotte, who took the branch, immediately put it into the water, but ......
"It doesn't feel like it's bottoming out, well, how deep is that. ”
But the size of the hot spring is too small, and if you destroy the surrounding mud, you might cause some big trouble.
Although there is nothing wrong with exploring, I always feel that if I poke the basket too big, I will definitely not be able to eat and walk around when I get home. It doesn't matter if you are beaten or not, what you are most afraid of is being grounded.
"Hey, Lychee, come here. ”
Charlotte beckoned to Lychee, "I have an idea, but I want your help." ”
"Charlotte, don't jump in. ”
Without waiting for Charlotte to speak, Lychee waved her hand and stepped back, "It feels so deep here, it will be dangerous." ”
"So, I'm not going to jump in! I'm not a fool. ”
Charlotte knocked on Lychee's head and dragged her to her side, "You take my hand, I'll touch it a little to see what this water feels like." (To be continued......)
