When I walked out of Vice Principal Bordo's office, it was the hottest part of the afternoon, and the summer cicada was making noisy noises, and its sharp chirping stung my eardrums.

Reiner thanked the dozing receptionist and took the elevator out of the main building. On the way, he saw students in twos and threes yawning as they walked into the teaching building. For them, the world was still full of expectations and very beautiful.

The work has been completed, and the matter he wanted to investigate has come to an end for the time being. It stands to reason that Reiner could go back to his residence directly to escape the hot summer, but he always felt that something was missing in his heart.

Reiner was walking around the campus aimlessly, as if he could encounter Sirius Oldman. In a daze, he came to the side door of the school, which led directly to the villa where the school staff lived. district.

It also leads directly to Director Percival's home.

"This doesn't seem good."

Reiner murmured to himself that as a normal adult male, visiting a housewife with an underage daughter alone when the owner was not at home was a somewhat unharmonious development no matter how you thought about it.

But just when Reiner turned around and hesitated whether to go back home, an unexpected voice stopped him.

"Mr. Iain Gray?"

What a coincidence, Reiner thought. He turned around and saw Lady Lysa holding a small basket in her hand and holding her daughter in the other hand.

"Mrs. Lysa, and this is little Akko."

Of course, Reiner couldn't pretend not to see it. He said hello and saw the six-year-old girl wearing a straw hat. However, she didn't feel uncomfortable in this hot summer. Instead, she looked at everything around her curiously.

"I was preparing to take Akko to visit my father and made some small desserts."

She lifted the basket in her hand and said with a smile.

"I came to school today to do some errands, so I just took a walk here."

Reiner said, he thought for a while and finally asked.

"Mrs. Lesa, actually I just came out of Vice Principal Portodo.

"

"Hey, dad, what do you want from him?"

Mrs. Lysa was a little surprised and asked softly.

"It's about Sirius Oldman, a mage who once studied in this school. I wonder, Mrs. Lysa, do you know anything?"

Unexpectedly, Reiner's question caused Mrs. Lesa to loosen her grip, and the basket of desserts fell straight to the ground.

Reiner hurriedly used his mage's hand and barely grabbed the basket.

"Sorry, I'm a little..."

Mrs. Lysa took the basket from Reiner, her eyes dimmed, and she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Mr. Iain Gray, if it is convenient, can you wait for me at this place? I will be here in about an hour."

She took out a business card from her pocket. It was a cafe located on the back street of the school. Reiner had seen its signboard when he took a walk at night last time.

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

A bingo sound sounded in Reiner's heart. He originally guessed that since Director Percival and Sirius were classmates, his wife, Mrs. Lysa, should know something about the situation. Now it seems that it is confirmed.

Moreover, unlike what Reiner initially suspected, Lady Lysa was also very familiar with Sirius.

Watching the mother and daughter heading towards the main building, Reiner hummed a tune and followed the path in his memory to the commercial street known as the back street. It was obviously more dependent on the presence of students and seemed quite lonely at this time. .

When Reiner arrived at the cafe called "Midnight", there was only one table of people sitting inside, a boy and a girl.

They didn't know whether they had no classes in the afternoon or they sneaked out. There were several books and two cups of coffee on the table for the two of them, and they were studying seriously. Among them, it could be seen that the girls did not seem to be good at studying and often asked the boys for questions. The boy also took the trouble to answer the question, looking like an ordinary student couple working together.

The cool breeze flows in this cafe, which is relatively quiet and filled with the refreshing aroma of coffee. It is indeed very suitable for studying.

Reiner had already put away his jury badge. He ordered a regular cup of coffee and chose a seat by the window.

Naturally, he didn't wait any longer. Reiner took out the bound information from his storage bag. This was a new spell for which he had completed the theoretical part. At this time, it was just in time to check if there were any omissions.

The two students on the side glanced at Reiner and didn't care.

Time passed quickly, and Reiner heard the door of the cafe open and the sound of wind chimes. He raised his head and saw Mrs. Lysa walking in holding the hand of her daughter Akko.

Reiner said hello, and Mrs. Lysa sat over with her daughter.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

As soon as the other party sat down, the waiter from the cafe came over with a menu.

"A cup of Midland coffee and..."

"I want chocolate ice cream!"

Little Akko immediately shouted, making Mrs. Lysa smile helplessly.

"And a chocolate ice cream, thank you."

After placing the order, Mrs. Lysa asked Akko to sit aside, facing a portion of chocolate ice cream that was bigger than her head.

"Eat it slowly, bite by bite, and don't swallow it whole."

Lady Lysa said, and Akko nodded vigorously.

"Swallow it whole..."

The corners of Reiner's mouth twitched. It seemed that if it weren't for her mother's reminder, the six-year-old girl might actually be able to swallow the chocolate ice cream in one bite.

"I used to come here often when I was a student."

Mrs. Lysa glanced at the two students who were resting in the distance, as if they were tired from studying, with a slightly nostalgic look on her face.

"Mrs. Lysa, you should also know that Sirius Oldman, right?"

In fact, when the other party told him to wait here, Reiner knew that he should be able to get some information from Mrs. Lysa, so he asked straight to the point.

"Well, I know Sirius."

Mrs. Lysa nodded, with a rare expression of loneliness in her eyes. The mother of a six-year-old daughter sighed softly and continued.

"To be honest, when I saw you that day, I felt that you and Sirius were a bit similar. It wasn't the similarity in appearance and identity, but the fact that you had a special temperament that I couldn't put my finger on."

Reiner did not interrupt Mrs. Lysa's narration, but only sipped the slightly bitter coffee in the cup.

"I really miss him. It has been so many years and I never thought anyone would mention his name."

Mrs. Lysa's eyes stayed on the pair of young students who were laughing, and her tone was full of memories, as if she saw herself back then.
