Chapter 74 Othinus the One-Eyed - It's Too Early for a Constant Routine
3:20 p.m.
In Academy City, the door to the 177th branch of the Disciplinary Committee was opened again.
"...Good afternoon, sorry to bother you."
Entering the room, the little girl wearing a wreath on her head carefully put down her backpack, and at the same time softly greeted the only office worker in the room.
"Good afternoon, Uiharu-san."
After nodding his head, Gufa Meiwei, seeing the rosy little face, put down the hand holding the table and stood up from his position.
Although it has already entered February, the temperature is still in the transition stage between winter and spring. Scarves and gloves are still the mainstay for everyone to keep warm.
"Would you like something to drink? Coffee or milk?"
Picking up the cup specially prepared for the juniors on the right hand side, Gufameiwei asked kindly.
"Ah! Thank you! You're welcome, I'll just drink water!"
The shameless Chuchun hurriedly shook her hand. Even though it was not the first time they got along, her behavior was still somewhat restrained.
After all, this is my future senior and boss.
If nothing goes wrong, in more than a month, she will be officially transferred here after being promoted to Zhachuan Middle School and become the disciplinary committee member of the 177th branch.
When he thought of this, the little guy couldn't help but straighten his sitting posture, feeling a little excited.
only……
"...Um...Senior Gufa, are you alone today?"
After sitting for a while, Uiharu, who didn't see any other acquaintances, subconsciously asked.
The work for this semester is obviously coming to an end, but the nearest branch is always uncharacteristically deserted.
"Ah...them..."
Putting down the steaming teacup, Gufa Meiwei, who was sitting next to the computer, adjusted his glasses and explained in a complicated tone.
"Shirai-san went for a physical examination. After all, she went to that prestigious girls' school, Tokiwadai Junior High School."
"And she was originally assigned to our branch for training and study. It's not clear what her future arrangements will be."
Under the sparkling gaze of early spring, Gufameiwei sighed quietly.
To be honest, after getting along with him during this time, she also admired Shirai Kuroko, a little guy with full potential and a somewhat proud personality, but she was not sure whether the superiors would agree to keep her in this branch.
You must know that this little guy is a rare teleporter, and he has reached Level 4.
Counting their branch's other Level 4 ace and her Level 3, the number of apparently high-level ability users is already saturated.
The '177 Branch' is not an important regional branch, so the Disciplinary Committee Headquarters will probably not approve her report.
But...
It's unlikely now, but in the 'future'... it's not completely impossible.
There was a wry smile on Gufa Meiwei's face.
because.
"As for Frenda..."
"She said she has to prepare for the entrance exam for 'Misty Hill' next week, so she probably doesn't have much time to report recently except when patrolling."
The bespectacled senior glanced at someone's seat from the corner of her eye.
She didn't expect that what she was sitting here talking and laughing about a few months ago would become a reality so quickly, which still made her deeply moved.
More importantly, compared to a certain 'Ryuugaki-senpai' who valued love more than work, Flanda had completed her daily patrol reports and information processing work well and delivered them on time even if she did not come to the branch.
Go to the branch computer.
Gufa Meiwei is really reluctant to transfer such a responsible and capable junior.
But since her junior has made a choice, and it is at a prestigious school like Kiriugaoka, which is on the list, as her senior, the only thing she should do is to send her support and blessings without holding back.
Gufa Meiwei gently closed her eyes and felt the warm aftertaste in her mouth.
But just as she opened her eyes again, she was about to return to her seat and continue working.
A pair of big eyes that became brighter rushed to her.
"Eh?! Mist Hill?! Is it the "Mist Hill"?!"
The Garland Girl's voice was no longer submissive, but suddenly became full of enthusiasm.
There is no way, once this kind of topic related to 'eldest lady' comes up, the children in early spring who are extremely longing for it will always be embarrassed.
"Hmm...that's right, it's that star school that can compete with 'Tokiwadai Middle School'."
"'Kirigaoka Women's Academy'..."
Startled by Chuchun's reaction, Gufameiwei nodded slightly and explained again.
"Hey... Shirai-san, too... and Severen-senpai..."
"It's so good... Tokiwadai Middle School... it's so good... Kiriugaoka Women's Academy... it's so good... Miss's School! Hehehehe...!"
Seeing the new junior who had fallen into strange delusions, Gufa Meiwei didn't know why, so he had to try to bring her back to reality.
"Um, Uiharu-san?"
"...Ah...ah! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Senior! I'm really...oooo..."
Keeping his little head bent, Chuchun's face became even redder than when he first walked in.
She accidentally exposed her hobbies in front of her future seniors, and now she really feels ashamed.
Fortunately, Gufa Meiwei was quite considerate. Knowing that this junior might run away in shame if things continued like this, he quickly smiled and uncovered her, and began to guide her in today's work.
"Your equipment application hasn't been received yet, but it should be soon. Let's sit in Frenda's seat today, okay?"
"Ah! OK!"
Uiharu, who had temporarily calmed down, also covered up his embarrassment with a smile, and sat down in the seat of his respected senior with some embarrassment.
However, while waiting for the computer to start running, she turned her eyes and suddenly discovered, to her surprise, that the capable senior's usually tidy office shelf had a few books that were incompatible with the white information book.
She looked quietly and looked at one of the books.
This is written on the gray cover full of age.
'..."Edda"?'
…
…
In the system of Nordic mythology, many poems about ‘knowledge’ and ‘wisdom’ are still sung to this day.
For example, this was recorded in an ancient book called "Edda".
The location of ‘it’ is located in the third section of roots of the ‘World Tree’, next to one of the roots.
The owner of 'its' will use the Galar Horn as a vessel every day to drink from 'its' spring water to obtain supreme 'wisdom'.
And the name of ‘it’ is——
…
In the cold and tidal ancient domain, the heavy waves of silver are constantly rolling.
Surrounded by forests, blue fluorescence wanders above the mysterious lake in the deepest part.
right here.
The sound of footsteps that could not be concealed by the wind and snow gradually sounded.
Her delicate little hands gently pressed the brim of her hat. The brown-haired witch in a robe stood in this unique world and slowly showed a strange smile.
