Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 555 Too tacit cooperation

"First meeting, happy cooperation!"

Just when the boy was about to step on the first step, Alina smoothed the hair around her ears without leaving a trace, and used the cover of this action to secretly use the [sound transmission] magic to convey the message to the boy at the entrance of the stairs. own words.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate, Lady Suzuran."

The young man was stunned for a moment, but he did not look back and continued on as planned.

After this small episode, the four of them met no other guests at lunch, because considering that Natalie and Ives had to take exams in the afternoon, Alina and Sallyste chose this lunch tacitly. Some of the dishes are not too big and don't taste greasy.

The lunch quickly came to an end. After getting up and going to the bar to pay the corresponding amount, Salister returned to the box and asked the other three people present with a smile: "What are your plans next?"

"What do you suggest?"

Sensing Sallysette's intention to open up the topic, Alina gently raised her lips and raised her eyes to ask the cornerstone of 'freedom' standing by the door.

"Avis and Natalie both have exams in the afternoon, right? Have you found a good place to rest?"

Salister nodded slightly, then looked at the two candidates sitting on either side of Suzuran, and asked with a smile.

"Not yet. I wonder if Senior Salister has any suggestions?"

Ives was wary for a while, but found that the training instructor beside him didn't seem to object, so he could only suppress his emotions, maintain the proper politeness, and ask questions reservedly.

"If you want a secluded, undisturbed resting environment, I also have a rarely used lounge in Sylph City."

Not paying attention to the defensive mood that the sage assistant of the North District of Water had towards her just now, Salister continued to give her opinions in a brisk tone.

"What's Natalie's opinion?"

Alina silently wrote down a few keywords mentioned inadvertently in the other party's words, nodded slightly, turned to look at the student on her right, and asked for advice.

"I'm fine."

Seeing that her teacher was inclined to agree, Natalie did not hesitate and agreed.

"Then I will trouble you to lead the way."

After looking at the two people beside him, Avis finally had no objection and agreed to Salister's suggestion in this tactful way.

"Ah."

Salister nodded lightly, and then took the initiative to lead the three of them down to the first floor of the restaurant. She glanced at the yellow-haired boy who was helping with the settlement at the bar, then looked away without any abnormality, and walked directly to a hidden door. , unlocked the magic restriction, and left the relatively lively first floor of the restaurant from the rear of the restaurant.

A few minutes later,

"We're here, please come in."

After a not too complicated process of leading the way, Sallysette finally stopped in front of an extremely ordinary double-storey house in the residential area of ​​Silver City. She lifted the magic restriction on the door and made a standard invitation to the three of them. gesture.

So the three of them entered this ordinary residential building without any further hesitation, and under Sally's arrangement, they each entered the three rooms on the second floor of the mansion.

"Okay, everyone can rest peacefully. Then I won't bother you here anymore."

After saying that, Salister immediately put away her [Voice Transmission] magic, returned to the first floor of the house, and leisurely tossed the magic gems on the table.

"It's safe now, Salister-senpai."

A few seconds later, Beliti, who was still in the lunch restaurant with a few people before, carefully removed the space door, and after a while of confirmation, gave a reassuring answer. “How about it, Alina is easy to get along with, right?”

Salister nodded slightly and asked with a smile what this 'mysterious' cornerstone thought of the Wind Sage's assistant.

"I only said one sentence to her...!"

Looking at the senior who was said to have been the 'Cornerstone of the Sky' for eight years in surprise, Beliti finally unabashedly expressed his true thoughts based on his observations during this period.

"But your judgment is very accurate, isn't it?"

Unexpectedly, she smiled at this junior who still had a lot of surprise, and Salister expressed her true thoughts without being moved at all.

"No, no, no, Senior Sally, you misunderstood. I am just an ordinary secondary magic academy student who has not graduated yet. My abilities are quite limited...!"

After hearing the other party's undisguised words about assigning a mission, Beliti finally failed to maintain his disguise, smiled dryly, waved his hands and backed away.

"I agree, so if possible, we'd better not trouble him."

Just when Salister wanted to say something to impress this talented junior, from the stairwell on the second floor of the house, the voice of Alina Christo, the Suzuran of the Wind, suddenly came.

"Well, since you said so, Alina, I think I have no reason to refuse, so I will leave it to you to take charge, and it's time for me to perform my subsequent duties."

Hearing this unexpected voice, Salister was briefly stunned for a moment, then nodded unexpectedly and generously gave up the right to speak to the other party.

"Aren't you afraid that I will find this place based on clues later?"

Alina continued to ask tentatively.

"Feel free if you can, I don't mind."

After glancing nonchalantly at the sage assistant of the East District of Wind who was slowly descending, Salister then gave her answer quite confidently.

"Then, be careful on the road."

Alina nodded her head in relief, and then after watching the cornerstone of 'freedom' fly away invisibly, she looked back into the living room, where she saw the young man with yellow hair who had found a sofa to sit down by himself, and asked with a smile: "Leave it to me this morning. How is your map memorization going?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on Beliti's face, which had just relaxed a little, uncontrollably became tense again.

After briefly weighing the pros and cons, the too-young 'mysterious' cornerstone immediately did not hide his emotions and was full of vigilance. He stood up nervously, waved his hands and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm just confirming your progress. You know, confirming it in advance will make our cooperation easier."

Seeing this boy's reaction that was beyond her expectations, Alina couldn't help but curl her lips slightly and answered nonchalantly.

"I've already written it down, what else do I need to do?"

After being stunned for a moment and unable to find a reason to refute, Beliti relaxed slightly, and then proactively asked the leader of the Sage Assistant at the staircase for the follow-up arrangements.

"Cooperate with me to do some small tests on your talent. As I said before, confirming it in advance will make our cooperation easier."

Seeing the other party's active cooperation, Alina couldn't help but draw her lips again with satisfaction, took the initiative to open the door of the house, and politely made an invitation gesture...

　Hahaha, Beliti is so cute ('')
