Ronald turned back and looked in the direction of the sound.
As expected, I saw Nicole's figure at the end of my field of vision.
The investigator girl was probably on a mission at night, so she still wore the same old outfit, wearing a coat and a wide hat, walking in the darkness of the street.
Behind her were two similarly dressed investigators.
However, judging from the way the other two people only dared to follow Nicole, they were probably newcomers who were assigned to work under Nicole, which was perfectly in line with the Bureau's personnel allocation habits.
And he called Ronald, who was walking alone on the roadside, to stop.
Nicole immediately walked towards him, and at the same time did not forget to wave to the two newcomers behind her:
"Come, come with me."
"..."
On the other side, as Nicole's figure continued to approach.
Ronald also saw changes in the investigator girl.
Although it had only been ten days since the last banquet, Nicole's originally smooth hair was now actually mixed with a few strands of silver.
Ronald immediately realized that this was the aftermath of the last battle in the back garden of the winery.
Although it was okay at the time.
But as time went by, the sequelae of excessive use of spells began to show up on Nicole. This strand of white hair signified the other person's current physical condition.
While Ronald was thinking, Nicole had already walked to him.
He patted Ronald's shoulder as hard as before:
"Hey, why haven't I seen you recently?"
"If you have time, you can come and have fun with me. Now the work of the Investigation Bureau is not as busy as before."
"Don't let the relationship between us become so estranged just because we don't work in the bureau. Aren't we friends?"
The girl's enthusiastic invitation seemed to contain no false emotions at all.
And considering Nicole’s character…
Ronald thinks this is what she really thinks.
This kind of pure friendship, Ronald naturally nodded:
"Actually, I've been quite busy these past two days. I'll definitely come see you if I have the chance."
"Hey, I'll tell you where my home is."
Smiling and telling Ronald her residential address, Nicole's eyes immediately wandered to his side.
After circling Ronald in a circle, she asked in a teasing tone:
"What about your dear Niklaus? Why didn't she come out with you today?"
"Don't you two always be together?"
Ronald immediately replied:
"Of course it was like this before, but Patricia has returned to the Springs now."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the news, the investigator girl suddenly became energetic.
"I heard before that she completed her mission, and I thought she would stay in Burrenwich and cultivate a relationship with you. But in the end, your beloved Parlini left you?"
"Why...don't you plan to go over and chase her?"
Ronald smiled:
"hehe--"
The Parlini that Nicole is talking about is the heroine in a very popular opera recently. This opera with a tragic love story as its main theme can probably be compared to the status of "Romeo and Juliet".
The investigator girl's teasing right now is just trying to mess with his mentality!
In front of Ronald, Nicole saw the awkward expression on his face, and now she became even more excited.
While making two "whoosh" gestures with his hands in the air, he imitated Patricia's sword skills.
At the same time, she said in a rather regretful tone:
"This kind of super beautiful girl is also a noble, and she is also very powerful!"
"A rare stock in the world! Are you really not going to pursue it?"
"..."
Looking at Nicole who kept teasing him, Ronald smiled and nodded:
"As for Springs, I will still go there in the future."
"But before I go there, I have to sort out my own affairs. There are a lot of things going on in Burrenwich."
Seeing that Ronald was no longer playful, Nicole nodded seriously:
"Well, that's true."
At the same time, the two novice investigators who had been following her also came over. Seeing Nicole and Ronald talking and laughing, one of them hesitated and said:
"Nic...Ms. Nicole."
"This gentleman is...?"
"He, he is Ronald, a friend of mine with good skills."
Nicole answered the question simply, and then said dissatisfiedly:
"Also, didn't I say it?"
"I'm not one of those old antiques in the training class. You don't have to be so coquettish when talking to me. How many times do you have to say it before you understand that elite investigator is just a name? I'm not a person with two arms and two legs!"
Immediately, the novice investigator who spoke nodded hesitantly:
"Um......"
"I...we got it."
"Tsk——"
Turning around helplessly, Nicole pointed behind Ronald:
"Look, here are the two newcomers I brought, Pat and Berg."
Ronald nodded and said:
"Hello you two."
Nicole then formally introduced Ronald to the newcomers she brought:
"This is Ronald, my dear former partner."
"You may not look at him like this, but he doesn't rely on his looks to make a living. He is actually a very powerful spell caster."
Immediately, the two newcomers greeted each other with serious expressions:
"Hello, Mr. Ronald."
Look at how solemn they are...
I'm afraid I'm already thinking about how powerful a spellcaster Ronald must be as a friend of elite investigator Nicole.
After having a casual chat with Ronald, Nicole seemed to remember that she was still an investigator on a night patrol, and then she was ready to continue her work.
But before leaving, she specifically reminded Ronald:
"Ronald, you must remember to come and play with me."
"let me see......"
"If you don't set a date, God knows when you will come to me."
"Just this afternoon, Wednesday [Biquge www.biqugeso.info]!"
"How about it? I shouldn't have any work on Wednesday. You can come to my house then. That should be fine, right?"
"No problem at all."
Faced with Nicole's warm invitation, Ronald naturally couldn't refuse.
Although he had not worked in the Investigation Bureau for a long time, the investigator girl left a very good impression on him.
Asking himself, Ronald thought this was one of his friends.
Of course, he had no reason to directly refuse a friend's daily social invitation.
Immediately, the two parties said goodbye to each other.
Ronald continued on the road alone, walking in the direction of his home.
When we walked all the way to the boarding house, the boarding house was quiet in the dead of night.
Mrs. Hudson was not on the first floor at the moment, and the fire in the fireplace was almost burning.
On the contrary, the hot soup on the shelf is still warm when sealed in the jar.
"..."
"Sure enough, I came back too late..."
While sighing in a low voice, Ronald bent down and took a bite to taste.
It tastes good and is made by the landlady.
So he walked aside, picked up the food that Hudson had prepared, and returned to his room.
He probably couldn't sleep today.
While at the detective agency, his cup was never empty.
