Chapter 33: Colleni's Melancholy
Colleni was nowhere to be found, and judging from the footprints, she had followed the black-robed man's phantom away.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Rosie, who didn't see the other party come back, couldn't sit still.
How did it take so long?
That man wouldn't do anything to Coleni, would he?
He doesn't look like a good person, Coleni won't be fooled by him, will he?
Probably not, right? After all, the teacher is from the Ministry of Magic, so he can't be easily deceived.
Not...... Could it be that they are a couple?
With her thoughts wandering, Rosie picked up her handbag and walked towards Clariany's house.
Perhaps, she's already home?
With this in mind, Rosie walked quickly to the house with a hundred-year-old green willow planted in front of the door.
I tried knocking on the door, but there was no movement inside.
Well, she hasn't come back yet.
Muttering silently, Rosie put away her handbag and wand, conjured a single couch under the tree, and sat down.
The invitation task hanging in the system panel is still displayed as in progress, without any prompt and no change.
Basking in the warm breeze and looking at the dancing willow branches, before she knew it, Rosie fell asleep.
……
"Rosie, Rosie......"
In a trance, a woman's voice sounded in my ears.
Rosie opened her eyes dimly, and saw Colani standing in front of her, and quickly got up and smiled:
"Teacher Coleni, you're back!"
"Well, I met an old friend and chatted a little more, so I kept you waiting."
At the mention of "old friend", a sad look flashed across Colani's face.
"Miss Clariani, what's wrong with you? What's bothering you? Could it be because of that man? ”
Noticing the change in her expression, Rosie asked with concern.
"Alas...... I don't know what to say. ”
Colleni sighed, shook her head slightly, and said, "Don't worry about me...... I'll take care of it myself. ”
There is no denial, she is really because the man is troubled?
Muttering in his heart, Rosie blinked his eyes twice: "Teacher, is he pursuing you?" Do you like him too? ”
The plump red lips opened slightly, and Colani glanced at her in surprise, then shook her head with a smile:
"We're not in that relationship, uh...... Or rather, I can't like him anymore. ”
Impossible to like now?
That means ever liked it?
Could it be an ex-boyfriend?
No wonder she is in her thirties, neither married nor has a boyfriend, it turns out that she has been hurt emotionally......
In an instant, she made up an emotional drama in her mind, nodded suddenly, and changed the topic with interest:
"It's almost noon, teacher, let's finish eating and then go into the house to clean up?"
Seeing that Coleni nodded, she conjured up a couch and a wooden table, then took out the bread that had been placed in the inventory, and took out two glasses, filling them with Sammy's special drink.
"Rosie, why do you think people are troubled?"
Taking a sip of her drink, Colleni suddenly asked.
Looking at the melancholy in her eyes, Rosie muttered for a few seconds:
"I think a lot of my worries are because I can't let go."
"Can't put it down?"
"Well, if you can't let go of certain things, you can't let go of some people, and you will be troubled. In fact, at the right time, we should let go of the past, and we should welcome the future. ”
"Let go of ......"
Coleni sighed, her voice as thin as a gnat, "Hey...... Some things can't be ended with a simple sentence of letting go. Besides, if you want to let go, others may not be willing. ”
"Others won't?"
Hearing this, Rosie couldn't help frowning, "Is that man still entangled?" ”
"No, that's not the case."
Seeing Clariani shaking her head, Rosie couldn't help but be a little suspicious: "What's that?" ”
"Forget it, it's nothing, don't think about it......"
As she spoke, Colleni let out a long breath.
Although she said forget it, she was in a daze from time to time for the next time. When I was tidying up in the house, I would take this and forget that, and suddenly I was in a trance......
Seeing all this in his eyes, Rossi couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Seeing that the things in the room were almost cleaned up, she casually made an excuse:
"Teacher, I'm going out to meet a friend, can you wait here for me for a while?"
Seeing Colleni nod, Rosie walked out of the room.
Closing the door, she drew her wand and cast her footprints to manifest, and she didn't need to show up, only judging the direction she was coming back from Colani's footprints, and then followed the path.
It's only May and spring hasn't left yet, but Godric's Valley, located in the southern part of Brantania, will be a little hotter than Brantania City.
Two o'clock in the afternoon was the hottest time of the day, and Rossi had only walked a little down the street before she felt the heat.
"Come, come, quench your thirst and taste a cold drink, a wizard's special, a glass for only 3 nats."
"The special muffins from Brantania, the last few pieces, only the last few pieces!"
……
Itinerant hawkers push carts down the streets, shouting loudly, not only to passers-by, but also to potential customers who might be asleep at home.
Looking at these vendors, Rosie rolled his eyes, took out a pen and paper and drew the face of the black-robed wizard, and then walked quickly to the vendor selling iced drinks.
"Bring me a cold drink."
"Okay!"
Taking the three bronze coins handed by Rosie, the vendor skillfully used a tong to pinch out a few ice cubes from a clay pot and put them in the glass, then opened the wooden barrel and poured a cup of light blue drink and handed it over, "This glass is conjured by the wizard with Transfiguration, and it will turn back into stone in about half an hour after adding the drink, so Miss drink it as soon as possible!" ”
"Well, thank you."
Thanking him warmly, Rosie smiled and asked, "I haven't seen you when I've been here before!" You must be working hard to walk the streets like this, right? ”
After a pause, she took out her papers: "Oh...... I work in the Ministry of Magic, and I used to work in this village when I was a trainee detective. ”
"Oh, it's Miss Auror, I heard the wizard who made me this icy drink mention that the Auror is the elite of the Ministry of Magic!"
The peddler seemed to only see the word Auror, and Rosie didn't explain, "Well, I've only been in this village for a short time, so you probably haven't heard of it. As for whether you are tired or not, in order to support your family, it is worth being tired. ”
Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost complete, Rosie took out the portrait of the black-robed wizard and asked, "Then you should have seen many people walking the streets, right?" Have you ever met this person? ”
"I saw this guy a while ago, is he a criminal?"
After looking at him carefully for a few seconds, the peddler said with some excitement, "Not long ago, I saw him in a pavilion in the east of the village, Miss Auror, are you going to arrest him?" Do you need me to show you the way? ”
A gazebo at the east end of the village?
Rosie suddenly remembered that place, and thanked him with a smile: "No need, I know the way." ”
