Natalie's magical growth record

Natalie was confused for a while, but she didn't dare to look away rashly.

For a moment, she was somewhat expecting that the visitors outside the door were her familiar friends and seniors, but after thinking about the current time and the fact that she had not received any visit reminders, she finally gave up the idea silently. .

It should be a nearby neighbor or other neighbors my mother knew in the town...

She subconsciously guessed and looked towards the direction of the door at home after she had initially shaken off her depression.

As the door opened, what appeared in front of her was a woman who seemed quite unfamiliar to her, but her mother was not that surprised. She was about the same age as her mother.

Before she could feel confused and a little disappointed, at this time, she found that her sister sitting next to her suddenly stood up and ran towards the door of the house in surprise.

"Good morning Mrs. Urmi, are you here to visit my sister?"

These were the first words she heard.

Before she could express her doubts about her sister's reaction, she immediately heard the reply from the visitor outside the door: "Yes, Winnie heard about it...and has been worried since then...How is Natalie...is it getting better?" ?”

Although the words Natalie heard from a distance seemed incomplete, after the wife mentioned Winnie, a name that was familiar to her, she also had a rough idea of ​​the lady's identity. A relatively clear guess.

Hearing her friend mention the rumors about the North District of Water, the black-haired girl sitting opposite Ursula suddenly became interested and hurriedly urged her friend to continue telling the story.

"Misha, don't worry, listen to me first. I know you may not be interested in those lengthy legends, but believe me, you will feel better after listening to these stories and then listening to my experience!"

With the comfort of her friends, Misha was no longer so anxious. She calmed down and continued to listen to the legends that were full of fairy tales at first glance.

As she listened, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief, feeling that the unknown areas in the Northern District of Water were very similar to the forests to the east of the Western District of Fire where she once explored fire.

Could it be that in the north of the Water North District, there is an abandoned area similar to the Obskel Forest or even the Forbidden Central District where magic is disordered and cannot be purified and reconciled?

Is the legend that this continent was once cursed true?
  No way, no way... If that's the case, that would be too terrible...!
  The more Misha thought about it, the more scared she became. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt. The more she thought about it, the more creepy she felt. She subconsciously looked at her friend opposite, expecting the other party to give her an answer that would make her feel at ease. But at this time, she discovered that Her friend, who seemed relaxed during the narration, fell into the same silence as her at some point.

Is the future of this continent really as pessimistic as I thought?
  No, I don't want to!
  "Osula, please speak up. Don't just scare me but don't want to take responsibility!"

Hearing her friend's repeated urgings, Ursula, who was concentrating on feeling the fluctuations of magic elements around her, came back to her senses instantly. She subconsciously looked around nervously, confirming that the strong fluctuations in magic elements that had just occurred briefly were just her illusions, and then she calmed down and stopped paying attention. With all her strength, she forced a smile to comfort the girl in front of her who had been frightened by what she had said before.

However, just when she talked about the true origin of those chaotic areas, and just when she talked about the attitude of her grandfather and even several sages towards these areas, the table where they were sitting should have rang the bell to remind the two of them. The cafe waiter, who had never appeared again before, suddenly approached her. While asking the two of them if they still wanted to order, he quietly dropped an envelope on the inside of her seat. The style was obviously different from ordinary envelopes, and it came from the Central Administration Department. envelope...

A letter from the Central Administration?
  She was a little confused at first, and then confirmed the identity of the sender from the light cyan lily of the valley pattern on the envelope that was completely different from her department logo.

A letter from Lady Suzuran? What does she want from me? Is there a mission so soon? Or are there other important things that you need to tell me as soon as possible...

New questions quickly emerged in her mind, making her body tense immediately while she was confused.

Instinctively, she wanted to look around immediately to confirm whether the leader of the Sage Assistants had arrived at the scene, but in the end, considering her friends and the waiter who had not yet left, she silently suppressed the corresponding thought, and after two or three seconds After thinking carefully, he simply responded to the waiter's question.

When the waiter received the reply, he stopped staying and immediately walked to the opposite side.

After asking the corresponding question to the lady opposite, he immediately left the place where the two of them were.

Watching the waiter go away, Ursula breathed a sigh of relief without concealing it.

At this moment, although a small part of the dessert she ordered before was still unfinished, she lost her leisurely mind of enjoying the dessert while chatting.

[I have to find a reason to return to Randall quickly! 】

This was her most urgent thought at the moment, but looking at her friend across from her who looked a little unfinished and seemed to want to hear her share her experience, Ursula couldn't help but feel guilty, worried that her rash departure might damage the relationship between them. friendship.

Misha whispered in confusion at first, but seeing the anxious and nervous expression on her friend's face, she stopped trying to squeeze out her poor memory and nodded directly to accept: "Okay, since you are in a hurry, then... move!"

Just as Ursula started to pack up her belongings in a hurry, and counted out a sufficient amount of money to give to her friend, Misha, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly stopped her: "Agree a time, let's get off Let’s talk again next time.”

"Okay, I'll write to you immediately after I finish handling this urgent matter!"

Meeting her friend only agreed on a time to meet next time and did not change her mind. Ursula nodded repeatedly.

"You must remember, don't forget!"

"Yes, certainly!"

"Where to go next? Randall or Silver City?
  The moment she opened the wooden door of the shop and heard the hustle and bustle of people coming and going on the street, Ursula, who had been dominated by her own panic until just now, couldn't help but feel troubled.

She subconsciously wanted to determine her next destination based on the source of the letter, but the fact that no sender's address was mentioned on the envelope ruthlessly shattered her hope.

After recalling the place where the leader of the sage assistants might stay after sending the letter, and then looking at the numerous paper bags in her hand, Ursula no longer hesitated and went directly to the fork in the street to hail the carriage. She went to the neighborhood where the [Space Teleportation] magic circle closest to her was located...
