When he accidentally wandered to the intersection of Daffodil Street, the neighborhood where the girl once led the way, Leonard couldn't help but stop and stared in the direction of the Municipal Square for a few seconds.

In that dimly lit junction, he caught the light golden color that belonged to her at a glance from the crowd. But it wasn't until she turned her body sideways during the conversation and turned her face towards him that he finally dared to make a confirmation.

, the person on the other side of the street was not a figment of his imagination.

I actually met her!

Different from the girls she had seen before, Alice tonight was dressed in a peculiar floor-length gray robe, with a delicate and beautiful face, and a more mysterious temperament. She looked like a character who had stepped out of a certain historical novel.

She seemed to have just finished saying goodbye to the person next to her, and turned around to leave in the opposite direction to him.

Seeing this, Leonard ignored the screams of the old man in his mind and hurriedly walked towards the girl's position. At the same time, he slightly raised his voice and shouted her name.

The other party stopped, turned around and blinked twice in surprise.

"Mr. Leonard?"

"It seems that our meeting is destined, Miss Alice. The night sky and stars tonight are really beautiful and charming, don't you think so."

Leonard swept away the depressed mood during the day and said hello with a brisk smile. Immediately, he recalled the rumors related to the girl, and then thought of the woman in a black dress who had just left her.

, so he adopted a casual tone.

"By the way, is that friend of...Miss Alice just now?"

"Not really an acquaintance. The lady worked in the circus and happened to hear the music I played. Then she came over and chatted with me for a while... Well, she just asked me if I wanted to try fortune telling, and I declined.

She has good intentions and is planning to leave." Alice shook her head slightly and said.

As long as it has nothing to do with that Ms. Danitaly!

Leonard breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to praise the goddess in his heart, and then turned his attention to the lyre held in the girl's arms.

"So you know music... It's a pity that I didn't get to hear the sound of these strings when they were plucked and played. It must have been very beautiful."

"You will hear it next time you have a chance. But after all, it is just an improvised lyrical work by a wandering musician. You'd better not overestimate my level, otherwise you may be disappointed."

She moved a strand of wind-blown hair behind her ears, revealing her delicate ear shells and small earlobes decorated with silver leaf-shaped ornaments.

How could you be disappointed! For such a beautiful and temperamental girl, who speaks elegantly and behaves well, and understands music, I must be just being modest by saying this!

Leonard pretended that he didn't hear the tut in his head and continued what the girl had said before.

"Wandering musician...Miss Alice's job in the cafe is just a part-time job, this is her true job? It sounds a bit romantic, but it also carries a sense of loneliness..."

The young Nighthawk, who had a somewhat loose temperament, couldn't help but romanticize her journey with just a little imagination. For a moment, she even felt a little yearning and envy.

"You don't need to be so polite, just call me by my name." Alice smiled softly, "Besides, I don't plan to take the job in the cafe anymore, so as to avoid some troubles later on."

——A person with a personality like Danitaly, even if she verbally admits that she is her master, may not have much loyalty. If she goes back to that cafe and continues her previous disguise, Danitaly might think

Come up with some non-fatal but bad enough way to persecute her...

What's more, how can a master go to work for a slave?

Alice, who was thinking this way, couldn't help but nodded slightly, but Leonard, who heard her words, was even more overjoyed, and from his own perspective, he understood another meaning:

Sure enough, she still rejected Ms. Danitaly! Because this rejection also caused a conflict between her and her employer, she had no choice but to resign from her job... By the way, it was just a good time to test her tone.

Ask her if she has any intention of doing a clerical job!

"Well, I'm sorry, I hope my next job will be a bit challenging... But I still appreciate you considering me so much." After hearing his proposal, the girl said this tactfully.

After briefly chatting with Alice for a few more words, Leonard vaguely noticed that tonight she seemed to have no sense of alienation as usual. Just as he was wondering if something had happened to her, he heard a voice in his mind.

The familiar voice of vicissitudes of life.

"Stupid boy, you can't even react to this, are you waiting for me to teach you? Is there any idiot in the world who would stand on the side of the square chatting with a girl like this!"

That's right. Just as Leonard came to his senses, he felt another bombardment in his head.

"It just so happens that she just said that she has been playing piano around here since evening. Didn't you think that she might not have had dinner yet? Why don't you invite her to a cafe or restaurant? At the very least, you should go to the park next door.

Here, find a corner with a nice night view and then think about other topics!”

The expression on the face of the young Nighthawk with a poetic temperament was blank for a moment.

Did the old man take the wrong medicine? He never said anything at such a time before, so why is he so angry now that he wants to kick him off?

Unfortunately, now is not a good time to ask the old man out loud...

Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed a little confused about his sudden silence, Leonard swallowed his question and extended an invitation to her with a gentle tone and a brisk expression.

As expected, Alice did not hesitate much and nodded in agreement.

Through the vision of the young Nighthawk, the Parasite watched the scene happening in front of him and sighed silently.

——This stupid boy didn’t notice at all that the “witch” lady he was attracted to wore the same earrings as his colleague...

Forget it, young people should go through more ups and downs and setbacks until they are sore from falling, and then they will know to stay away from unreliable relationships.

But what's wrong with young people nowadays? Do they not mind falling in love with a woman on the wanted list?

…

No matter how much the parasite complained, Leonard spent a happy and fulfilling evening.

He even felt that the time he spent with Alice was always too short, and every time it was time to say goodbye in just the blink of an eye - he was supposed to be on the night shift tonight, and he finally made an agreement with his colleague Ken Li to take his place.

I work until nine o'clock in the evening, and then I have time to go out and look for opportunities for romantic encounters.

But today's harvest is rich enough.

Although most of the time it was him who was still trying to find a topic and she simply responded to this process, but Alice was indeed different from usual tonight.

She opened her heart to him! She told him about her journey of leaving her hometown and embarking on a journey alone!

Leonard just strolled back to Zotland Street where the company was located in a happy mood, not bothering to pay attention to the old man's sigh in his mind. He didn't put his face away until he saw a carriage parked in front of the company from a distance.

With a brisk smile on his face, he returned to his usual casual demeanor and walked over, climbing the steps lightly.

When he opened the door, the figures of captain Dunn and colleague Klein appeared in his field of vision at the same time.

"You came back just in time, Leonard." Dunn Smith pointed in the direction outside the reception hall and said in a low and gentle voice, "Klein just reported an unexpected 'magic mirror divination' incident. Of course,

He brilliantly judged the key to the problem and interrupted the arrival of the evil spirit in time, without letting the situation worsen... Please prepare a little, we will immediately take over the follow-up investigation of Heinus Vincent; Klein, you can

Go back and rest."

"I thought this would be my mission to join the team, and then I would have to complete it alone." Klein was obviously relieved and said with a smile.

"You reminded me." Dunn nodded, remembering a certain trivial matter that he had almost forgotten in a corner, "At around seven o'clock before, a case was transferred to the police station. It was initially determined that it was suitable for joining the team.

Depending on the difficulty of the task, you can come over tomorrow to complete it."

After the captain finished explaining the general matters, Klein said goodbye to the two of them despite the exhaustion of being drained of a lot of spirituality by ritual magic, and slowly left the Blackthorn Security Company.

Now he just wants to go home and have a good sleep, and doesn't want to worry about anything else.

Ah, of course, Melissa's look as if she suspected he had done something to her two female friends should still be dealt with!

Klein didn't know it at this time. During the time when he took a detour to Zotland Street to report the magic mirror incident, Alice had already walked towards the townhouses on Daffodil Street before him, and met someone on the way.

There was a person standing in front of me.

He wore a long black windbreaker, a standard men's white shirt and dark trousers underneath. His golden brown hair was shaved short. The collars of his shirt and windbreaker were turned up, hiding his lips and chin.

In the shadows of night.

The unknown stranger, with one hand in his pocket and a long suitcase in the other, stood quietly on the girl's path, as if facing an old acquaintance returning home, calmly welcoming her arrival.

The pedestrians nearby had disappeared at some point. Before nine o'clock on this Sunday night, Daffodil Street was as empty as a deserted place, so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of breathing.

Alice stopped and tilted her head silently, as if thinking about the identity of the person in front of her.

"This is our first meeting, Your Majesty the Witch." The tall and thin man in a black trench coat turned around and looked at the girl with a pair of quiet dark green eyes. His cold thin lips were slightly raised, "Let me introduce myself, I am Kress.

Tai Sesima, the senior deacon of the Church of the Night Goddess, is also the hound following the instructions of the goddess... I believe you should know very well why I am here."

Crestel seemed to act relaxed, but in fact he had already tensed up his nerves and was ready to tap his teeth at any time to release the spirit body, or activate the spiritual charm in the pocket of his windbreaker to buy himself time to unlock the seal of the bone sword.

The girl in front of him had a beautiful face that almost exceeded the limits of human description. Even though he had seen her photos many times, he felt slightly dizzy even though he thought he had developed resistance to beauty.

Fortunately, she was wearing a large gray robe that covered all the curves of her body and did not further reveal her terrifying charm.

The silent and short confrontation finally ended, and she... no, the existence that should probably be called Him gave a response.

"When you come up, your vision is fully opened. If you want to see my true face so seriously, aren't you afraid of going crazy like the unlucky gentleman before?"

He smiled as he spoke, and his tone gradually became lighter.

"Well, speaking of that unfortunate guy's name, Moon belongs to Mu Li. He seemed to have just met me in a dream without any preparation, and then you all thought he was insane. It's really... oh, it's really too

How pitiful."

Crestel Sesima took a deep breath and took an unmoved step forward to confront his almost frighteningly beautiful smile.

"In order to straighten my back and speak in front of Your Excellency, I must first complete the step of facing Your Excellency."

Seeing that he completely ignored her provocation, Alice suddenly seemed to lose interest, and the smile on her face instantly faded.

"Tell me, the reason why you came to me...what does your goddess want to confirm from me?"

"This is not a suitable place for communication with Your Excellency. Please follow me to the underground of St. Selina Church." Crestel's white fingers holding the suitcase regained a little rosy color, and he stepped aside to make way.
