"That'...... We're not going to stay here any longer. At this point, Riel said suddenly.

Alan was a little surprised, he was worried that Riel would stay here too long and be caught by Mrs. Dalke, but now he offered to leave.

"If your grandmother comes back and bumps into her at this time, I don't know how angry she will be. Riel said again, then twisted his head to the side, "I don't want to get in the rain again." ”

Alyssa opened her mouth but said nothing. Although she really wanted to talk to them for a while, according to what she knew about her grandmother, this old lady would never go out for more than half an hour, and she should be back soon. What's more, these two people are still soaking wet.

"Then you should hurry home and change your clothes......" Alyssa smiled softly again, "We'll see you in a month." ”

"Hmm. Riel replied softly and turned away. Since the umbrella was in his hand, Alan had no choice but to follow.

Originally, Alan wanted to add another layer of camouflage enchantment to the two of them, but Riel's footsteps were surprisingly fast, and Eren dismissed this idea.

As they walked out of the path, Alan saw from a distance that Mrs. Dalke seemed to have returned from outside, for she was always hunched over her shoulders and easily recognizable as she walked. She seemed to be carrying something like vegetables in her hand, and Alan realized what she was doing when she went out.

Riel didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he walked forward with his umbrella and his head down, saying nothing along the way, not even passing by the candy house with the slightest intention of going in to say hello to old Adrian.

Alan naturally noticed it, but he couldn't figure out why, but he just felt that it might be related to Alyssa, so he didn't ask any more. And his attention was now more on Mrs. Darke's strange reaction today.

Mrs. Darker had always given them the impression of being serious and serious, and although her lectures were boring, she was meticulous in everything she did. In the three years that Alan and Riel had been at the basic school here, she had never been late once, which was quite a thing for an old lady her age. And compared to other teachers, her attitude towards the students is also extremely serious and responsible, and when she was in class before, as long as Riel or anyone else deserted, she would immediately find out that Riel was still miserable at that time. Now that Alan finally understood what was going on, remembering that he had heard Professor Fran say that she and Mrs. Darke had both worked in the intelligence service, Allen had the answer in his mind. I don't know what kind of magic she's using to improve her hearing, but it must be so.

But how to explain her sudden attack after that?

"Who is she guarding against...... Mr. Audrian?" Remembering that Alyssa had told them before that Mrs. Darker thought the woods were dangerous, especially near the old Adrian's house, Alan couldn't help but speculate.

But after thinking about it, Alan didn't think it was like that. Because if it was really old Adrian who had set his sights on something in her house or wanted to trouble them, he should have done it a long time ago? This town is not big, and it won't take more than ten years to find someone. And if you think about it from another angle, Mrs. Dalk is so cautious, only the slightest suspicion of signs of unknown people's activities and directly attacks them with magic, indicating that they may not be good at them, and even dangerous.

"Who could it be, is there any enemy of theirs in this town?, or is it from somewhere else?"

In order to prevent a cold, the two quickly dried their hair and took a hot bath. However, until he went to bed at night, Riel didn't talk to him much, and he couldn't survive at all while lying in bed, tossing and turning, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"I'll be fine in a few days. Alan thought, "Just like before." ”

But this time he guessed wrong. No matter what worries Riel had before, as long as he slept well, he almost forgot about it, but this time he lasted for nearly a week, looking depressed all day long, not even in the mood to go out and hang out, but read books all day for the first time. The communication between the two is not as much as before, and it is a little awkward.

Eren didn't know what to say to comfort Riel, or even whether he should say it or not. It bothered him.

In this way, it was not until more than half a month later that Riel seemed to finally return to normal. Maybe it was because I couldn't stand it in the house, and I went to Tranquility Mountain with Alan for a spin.

I thought that the rest of this holiday would finally be able to spend comfortably, but what Alan didn't expect was that this trip made new waves in his mood.

It was August 12th, and the sky was a rare day.

It has been raining almost continuously for more than half a month, and it seems that it has been raining more and longer than in previous years, and even if the rain occasionally stops for a while, there is no shadow of the sun at all, so when they had lunch at noon that day, the long-lost sunshine suddenly sprinkled on their faces made the two of them very happy, and immediately decided to go to Tranquility Mountain to relax.

Of course, as long as they went out to play, the first stop must be to go to the old Adrian's house to find Arthur, but when they arrived, they found that Arthur seemed to have gone out with Kelly, and the old Adrian had also gone to the candy house. The two had to walk there.

Although it was a little regrettable that they couldn't go for a ride in the sky, and it was not easy for Arthur to take them with them, but occasionally hiking like this, and while climbing the mountain, they could also take a look at the scenery by the way, but it gave the two of them a completely different experience, and accidentally stayed on the mountain for too long, and when they came back, it was about six o'clock in the evening.

As the clouds began to gather again, it looked like it was almost dark.

The two of them didn't stop at Old Adrian's house for long, but just went to say hello and left.

Riel seemed surprisingly in a good mood, jumping up and down at the front, humming a song in his mouth. Allen, on the other hand, was thinking about taking a shower before dinner, he hadn't walked such a long way in a long time, and this trip would have tired him enough.

But just as he was about to walk out of the woods, he looked up and saw Rare stop in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Alan asked, a little curiously.

"Your family......" Riel turned his head and looked at Alan in a daze, then pointed to Allen's house and said, "There seems to be someone in your house ......"

"What?" Alan was also stunned, and didn't react for a while.

Seeing this, Riel simply stepped aside.

Alan rubbed his eyes and looked over there, only to realize what Riel was talking about...... There was a light in his house!

Countless waves began to churn in Allen's heart in an instant, and all kinds of speculations surged out of his mind at once.

"Could it be that Mommy and Dad are back?" he couldn't help but tremble at the thought of this.

However, when he calmed down and took a closer look at the movement in the room, he realized that it did not seem to be the brightness of the magic lamp. And judging from the location where the light emanated, it seems to be ...... Communication lights?

Alan couldn't help but trot all the way over.

"Good evening, Alan. "If it doesn't rain, tonight must be a very beautiful night." ”

"Good evening. Alan replied hurriedly, then pointed to the house and asked, "Has anyone been in?"

"No, no one has been in for a long time. ”

Alan nodded, and before he had time to say anything more to Lilith, he went straight to the door, found the key and opened it.

Sure enough, the light came from the communication light. After knowing the truth, Alan inevitably felt a little lost in his heart, as if he had nothing to do with his parents......

"But how could it suddenly light up...... Could it be ......" Alan walked over to the table and found an unopened letter lying next to the communication light.

Since sending a letter through a communication light only requires telling it where to send the letter, only the sender and recipient's names are on the envelope. Strangely, however, Alan saw that there were only two letters on the recipient and sender positions - "D.C" and "T.P".

“D.C...... Well...... Dean Connor? It seems to be for Uncle Dean......" Alan thought, "but this T.P...... Who is it?"

Alan frowned slightly, it was obviously the first time he had seen the abbreviation of this name, but he felt very familiar inexplicably.

“T.P...... T.P......" Alan racked his brains to list any person whose name could be this abbreviation, but when he finally figured it out, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably, "T.P!......? Daddy's initials!?"

"What's wrong?" asked Riel as he walked in.

However, Alan was in no mood to pay attention to him at all, just staring at this payment with his eyes, and his mind was blank.

"It's ...... Letter from Daddy!"
