Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 222 Conflicting Determinations

"Hey, little Natalie, you..."

Looking at the determined look of the 9-year-old girl in front of him, Blair was shocked. It was as if he was getting to know this introverted little girl again for the first time, and he recognized the unswerving kindness and sense of justice hidden under the cautious mentality.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made my own decisions, please forgive me for being rude..."

Seeing that the assistant of the Earth Sage opposite him was silent for a long time, Natalie waved her hands guiltily again, and used the waving movements to cover up her fearful and guilty expression.

"No, no, I'm very happy." Realizing that his trance had put unnecessary pressure on this girl who was always cautious in doing things, Blair quickly adjusted his glasses to adjust his mood, and outlined a trace of gratitude on his face. smiled, "Thank you, little Natalie, but..."

He was about to say something to refuse, but a knock on the door unexpectedly interrupted his thoughts, forcing him to stop his refusal.

Five minutes are up?

Recalling the conversation time she heard from the staff, Natalie looked at the teacher next to her uncertainly.

"Let's go, the time is up. If Natalie has anything to say, you can save it for next time."

Feeling the students' gaze, Alina immediately responded tacitly.

"next time?"

Natalie subconsciously nodded in agreement, but soon she was reminded of her possible doubts when she was reminded by a knock on the door.

"Yes," Alina thoughtfully blocked the students' view of the door, and nodded gently, "As long as Natalie finds a way to rescue Brother Shitou from here, wouldn't there be a suitable chance? Of course, if Nataly If Li thinks about it, I can still find a way to bring Natalie here to talk to Brother Shitou again."

"Well..." With the teacher's assurance, Natalie was obviously relieved, and then looked earnestly at Mr. Haitang and the blue-haired guide, "Then Mr. Haitang and Miss Liford, I can get this. Your help?”

Afraid that she still couldn't convince the two of them, after making the request, Natalie carefully added: "Because, because of Shi, Mr. Mallow once took me to pick out gifts and go shopping in Nome when I was very busy at work. Cheng, treated me to dinner, so I want to repay him..."

"Of course, Miss Natalie!" Ives agreed without hesitation. Considering that such a reply might not convince the other party, he added on this basis, "Actually, this is what I want to do, after all, Blair My senior also helped me a lot, and I would also like to take this opportunity to thank him for the teachings he gave me in the past."

"I," Jianshuizhi Haitang agreed logically with such a perfect reason. Qiaocelin thought about it and decided to speak, "My words, for me personally, this is no problem. But there are more , I need to ask my superiors for instructions. Of course, if your help is within the scope of matters related to leading the way and protecting the investigation, I think I can provide as much help as possible."

Seeing that the two powerful people had agreed, Natalie was not so anxious. She quickly left the guard room where Brother Shitou was being held, passing by several staff members, and also left this watchtower. It doesn't look big, it's even a somewhat crude special guard room.

"So now, do Natalie want to investigate Mr. Malkui's affairs for a while, or do you want to find a place to have dinner first and then start the investigation?"

After using wind magic to carefully explore the surrounding environment, Alina immediately lowered her head to look at the students and asked for advice kindly.

"I think..." Looking uncertainly at the gentle and smiling Mr. Haitang and the slightly indifferent Miss Guide, Natalie finally suppressed her emotions and replied formally, "I think we'd better find someone first. Let’s have dinner somewhere, after all, it seems to be getting late..."

"no problem!"

Alina and Avis agreed in unison.

Qiaoceline nodded in acquiescence, and then took out a list from the magician's robe that was different in color and content from the one at noon, and introduced the restaurants that she could go to in the evening. “Why are they all casual-themed restaurants?”

Ives silently compared the memories of related restaurants in his mind, and whispered to himself in confusion.

"This is the best plan selected by the shop owner," she glanced dissatisfied at the young master of the Maxwell family next to her. Qiaocelin turned down the list without saying anything and handed it to him. In his hand, he said, "Here are the alternatives. If you are not satisfied with them, you can recommend one yourself. Then tell me your address and I will take you there."

"Thank you." Seeing that his idea was misinterpreted, Avis twitched his lips in displeasure and retorted in a polite manner, "but I don't think the latter situation will happen."

"Then it's up to you."

Ignoring the hidden rebuttal in the second half of the young man's words, Qiaoceline walked up to Natalie and Alina in front of them and asked, "You can also take a look at the schedule for the evening."

"Okay, okay...!"

Seeing that the guide lady also handed her a list, Natalie couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, she quickly put away her inappropriate thoughts, focused on reading the list, and picked the destination she was interested in under the brief introduction of the teacher and the guide.

"Why did you suddenly decide to give Natalie a schedule?"

Taking advantage of the time when the students were concentrating on choosing the restaurant, Alina slowed down a little and came to the seat in the same row as Qiaoceline to ask.

“On the one hand, I don’t have that much time at noon, and on the other hand, what happened in the afternoon also made me change some of my thoughts.”

Qiaoceline glanced at the woman next to her in surprise, but she didn't say anything and asked a question coldly.

"Why?" Alina continued to ask with interest, without any intention of looking at the list in her hand, "In other words, what made you change your mind?"

"I don't think I need to repeat this answer. You should be able to guess it."

Qiaoceline glanced angrily at the former leader of the Sage Assistant, who seemed to be causing trouble again, and answered with her cold attitude.

"What if I said I wanted to know if the answer was what I guessed?"

Alina asked persistently.

"Determination, I saw a very contradictory determination in her."

Qiaoceline looked up at the woman next to her strangely and answered simply.

"Contradictory determination?" After carefully savoring the other party's words, Alina couldn't help but curl her lips with more interest, "This way of describing it is very interesting. Did you invent it yourself? Can you tell me in detail? Really? I’m very curious.”
