Volume I: Chapter 107 "Knock, Knock, Knock"

The brown-haired boy walked around the room, his injured head almost healed, the bandages completely removed, and only a few inconspicuous scars on his scalp remained.

Since leaving the hospital, Sandino has been looking for Cesare, but he has searched all over Karl and has not found the shadow of his good brother, and in the last two days, Sandino has wanted to continue to look everywhere.

But for some reason, the school was suddenly closed, controlling the whereabouts of each student, and it was difficult to leave the academy for half a day without the company of parents.

At night, I will be locked in my dormitory, and although I am in a hurry, there is no other way but to wait dryly.

At this time, Sandino stayed in the room, and the boy's face was full of anxiety and anxiety, and he kept pacing back and forth, and as he thought more and more in his mind, his eyes revealed more uneasiness.

From time to time he stared at the other clean and tidy bed in the room, and sometimes he closed his eyes tightly, biting his lip and teeth tightly, leaving a deep mark.

Occasionally, I keep scratching my hair with my fingers, as if I want to release my inner anxiety and stress in this way.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out where Cesarey had gone, so he sat back on his bed.

Sandino's own bed, though not messy, was crumpled and smelled old, and the floor beside the bed was piled up like a hill, with scattered clothes, books, and stationery.

The space under the bed is also utilized, and it is full of miscellaneous things, but everything has its own way of categorizing, and although there is not much room around the whole bed, it does not look too cluttered.

And the other bed in the room was so clean that it was like no one had ever lived in it.

That's Cesare's bed.

Ever since Cesare's tuition fees became tighter year by year, Cesare and Sandino became roommates under the same roof.

However, Cesare rarely returned to his dormitory, and most days he had to work outside to earn his tuition, and when it was too late, he would sleep outside.

Even when Cesare came back from work, it was very late, and Sandino was usually asleep, so the two didn't spend much time together in the dormitory, more in the daytime class.

In recent days, however, Cesare has not only been absent from his dormitory, but at all at all, at the school, or even in the entire Karllius.

The names of Cesare and his sister Closia were included in the list of missing students reported by the school, and many people said that Cesare was dead, but Sandino naturally did not believe it.

But day after day passed, and Sandino did not wait for Cesare to return. More and more anxious, more and more anxious, I can't help but talk to myself sadly......

Cesare...... Where the hell have you been......"

But it's useless to be in a hurry, so it's better to rest early and ask around the school tomorrow during the day.

Sandino rubbed his face and reached out to loosen the feather pillow at the head of the bed, curled up his legs and lay down again, and then covered the quilt, letting his breath gradually relax, and as his body was wrapped in a thick sleepiness, he slowly fell asleep in great comfort.

"Knock, knock, knock"

I heard three muffled noises outside the window, like the sound of someone knocking on the window. Sandino was startled, his eyes instantly widened and he hurriedly looked out the window.

But the view outside the window was nothing but a few small trees, and the wind had become a little stronger, perhaps just the sound of blowing branches.

Sandino wondered, and slowly lay down again.

It should be that there are too many strange facts recently, and they are all a little nervous. But as soon as I closed my eyes, the sound of knocking on the window sounded again, accompanied by a weak, as if someone had called...... "Hey." ”

Auditory hallucinations?

Sandino didn't want to pay any more attention, but he couldn't help but look at the window again with curiosity in his heart.

A "branch" appeared strangely outside his window, and Sandino squinted his eyes to look closely, his body reacting before his brain.

His throat slowly tightened and he breathed in the cool air, where was the "branch", but a hand was softly tapping on his window with a bloody bandage...... Only three fingers.

Sandino's hairs stood on end in fright, and he jumped up from the bed with a scream, and suddenly stood up straighter than the national guards.

The pupils, which had shrunk into two black spots, once again confirmed that it was indeed a human hand, and his body threw himself on the back of the table like a living loach, hiding his body and only half of his face to come out, crying out for mercy.

"Cesare if you really die, go in peace, don't, don't come back and scare me, you know I'm cowardly!"

Listening to Sandino's miserable screams, the arm outside the window suddenly retracted, followed by bursts of laughter from the girl. Anya jumped lightly at the window, revealing her figure.

Shaking his scary-looking left hand, he greeted Sandino in the room and gestured for Sandino to come out.

Sandino made sure several times that the girl outside the window was a living person and not a ghost, and then he crawled out from behind the desk as if nothing happened, coughed awkwardly and patted his pajamas.

Looking out the window, the red-haired girl seemed to remember something, he had seen Anya at the ball to relieve Cesare, so he quickly recognized her.

On weekdays, Sandino is involved in intelligence transactions between students, that is, listening to gossip, so he often hears rumors about Anya.

Skipping class in public, breaking into the library at night, and causing an explosion in alchemy class. When the classmates chatted without a topic, they would always mention this elusive crazy girl from time to time.

Anya's name is also on the list of missing students at the school this time, but Anya doesn't seem to have any friends at school, and not too many people care about it.

And after thinking about it carefully, Sandino himself and her don't have much to do with each other on weekdays, why did she come to me at this time? Sandino rubbed his chin and thought about it carefully, the possibility of being knocked on the window by a strange girl was very rare......

Can't do it...... Does she like me?

Although Anya's appearance is indeed one of the best in the school, her personality is somewhat ...... There should always be a process of getting to know each other better. Sandino thought with his eyes closed, and the boy's face flushed slightly.

And he already has a favorite girl, Sandino remembers his dance partner at the ball, Miss Yvette.

It was a very beautiful girl.
