The raindrops hit the windows like countless small hammers, making the Victorian-style retro window frames of the store slightly darker.

Every time the raindrops hit the glass, a wet stain formed, and the scenery outside the window became more hazy.

In this weather, the store is as quiet and warm as ever.

With a long, crisp "jingle bell" sound at the door, the thick wooden door was pushed open by a pair of hands stained with a few raindrops, and the faint cold and humidity instantly mixed with the warm air in the store.

It was a mild-mannered, pleasant young man, with a little rain on his body and his boots a little wet from the rain, and the most striking thing was the little black cat with wide eyes and slightly fluffy hair that he held in his left hand.

The little black cat looked a little sluggish.

Its brain seems to be still dead.

It's just that when I arrived at the familiar environment of the storefront, the little pointed ears instinctively trembled, as if they were hearing the sounds around them clearly.

The boy took a few cautious steps, and the umbrella in his hand dripped water droplets, and the rain dripped from the tip of the umbrella and hit the floor.

Soon after the counter, the figure of the clerk was full of anticipation, her apron was clean and neat, with a unique serious attitude, and her eyes looked straight at the little black cat, as if she had been waiting for it for a long time.

"Boss Cat, why did you come back, the kitchen is going to be too busy!"

The clerk quickly walked up to Ranchi and said to the little black cat.

"Oh oh meow, sorry meow."

Boss Cat finally came to his senses, quickly jumped to the ground, and walked to the back kitchen.

It turned its head and looked at Ranch with a complicated expression.

This guy obviously looks gentle, courteous, frugal, benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and trustworthy, and he is an outstanding good boy.

But now it's starting to feel that this kid is very wrong!

It's the first time I've seen someone who can be as good as Ranchi!

It's weird.

We'll have to watch again.

This newborn Dongxi may not deserve love!

The clerk was relieved to see the cat boss go back to the kitchen.

"By the way, Miss Tata said that if you come, let you go to the second-floor warehouse to find her."

She then looked at Lanchi and said.

"Thank you."

Ranch thanked him and walked in the familiar direction of the second floor.

Naturally, he understood what it meant.

This time I caught the ghosts in the resurrection church in the academic visiting team of the Aloran Royal Academy, and it must be a surprise when Dean Loren comes back tomorrow.

By the time he goes on a date with Captain Knight Juliana, there will be no shortage of topics to talk about.

In the rest of the days, no matter how hard Ranchi tried, it was not impossible for Juliana to come directly from the Kingdom of Auroran and take the initiative to date Loren.

The staircase is made of dark wood, and each step has been polished over the years, and a slightly worn carpet has been specially laid on rainy days.

As he reached the second floor, a long hallway opened up in front of him.

There are some retro picture frames hanging on the walls, and the dim yellow lighting adds a bit of mystery to the entire corridor.

At the end of the stairway is a row of doors, each with its own unique color and number, giving it the feel of an old hostel.

Ranch walked slowly, looking for something.

His gaze lingered on each door for a moment, and finally stopped in front of a door with a label that read "Warehouse".

"Tata, Hubertarian, are you there?"

Ranch tapped twice on the door.

"Come in."

Soon he heard Taria's familiar voice.

Apparently learning that it was Ranchi, she briefly lifted the barrier.

Ranch then put his hand on the doorknob and pressed it down slightly, opening the door of the warehouse that could not be opened.

A puff of old, somewhat damp air spread, and Ranch stepped inside.

Glancing around, I saw Hubertian and Talia guarding the man tied to the chair, presumably the suspect.

But it's not important, it's important that-

Judging by their expressions.

Hubertian was in good spirits and mood, and did not seem to be wronged.

And Talia was more peaceful than expected, and didn't seem to be displeased with Huberian.

The two of them get along much more harmoniously than Lan Qi imagined, and even inexplicably make Lan Qi feel that they have a good relationship with each other.

"Ranch, you're here."

Huber said with a smile as she walked up to him.

"Well, it's a pity I lost my match with Adams today."

Ranch nodded slightly embarrassed.

Suddenly, Huberian's face froze.

If Ranch wins, then she thinks it's okay.

But if Ranch loses so easily.

The problem may have been more serious than she could have imagined.

She kind of didn't want to go back to school.

At least I don't want to face Dean Loren back tomorrow morning......

Talia looked at Huberian's face and then at Ranchi, but didn't comment.

"Excuse me, Tata."

Ranch thanked Talia instead.

He didn't expect Talia to be so easy to talk this time.

It seems that he is older, and he is more or less human.

“……”

Talia stared at Lanchi without saying a word.

"But since the ghosts in the visiting group of the Auroran Royal Academy have been caught, then we can let Huberian live back today."

Ranch looked at Phoenix, who was unconscious in his chair, and said to Talia and Huberian.

Continuing to keep Huberian and Talia stay, Ranchi fears that over time they will be wronged and one will lose their temper.

But Huberian raised her eyes,

"Ranch, I ......"

She seemed a little stumbling and couldn't speak.

If she could, she would have liked to stay here in Tata for another two days.

But the thought was so humiliating that she couldn't find an excuse.

Even if Miss Tata had agreed to teach her magic, she wouldn't have to live at Miss Tata's house.

"Let her stay with me for a few more days, so that there are no other accidents."

Talia said in a flat voice,

"After all, even according to the contract, she should stay with me for two weeks."

She emphasized, on a businesslike basis.

“……！”

This made Hubertian look at her in surprise and emotion.

If Miss Tata was just trying to do what was agreed, she is really thinking about herself now.

"What do you say?"

Naturally, Ranch had no objection.

If Talia can have a good relationship with Huberian, it can be said that his future plan to become bigger and stronger [Big Love Company] can be said to be very good.

Thinking about it, Talia has always been like this, she doesn't like to take advantage of the other party in the transaction, and if she says that she will protect her for two weeks, she will protect it for two weeks.

"If Miss Tata doesn't dislike me, I'd like to stay with her for a while longer."

Huberian looked at Talia and snorted a little embarrassedly.

"But then I'll go to school."

Huber Ann added.

She will then return to school and the work of the student council.

She didn't dare to let Ranchi out of her sight, otherwise she might take two weeks off and the Ikrita Academy would be muted.

"Then I'll pick you up and drop you off at school every day."

Talia bowed her head and said.

"Then please."

Lanchi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

With Talia's serious protection, Huberian's safety can be said to be foolproof.

It's just that Lanch inexplicably feels that the conversation between the two of them is a bit like the feeling of a mother picking up and dropping off her child to elementary school.

It's weird, this can't be Talia's mother's plan to take the Duke's house for herself, right?
