My Prime Minister is so cute

I'm a little sleepy, it's time to rest.

But Sarah had just found some good stuff from the bookstall today, and she decided to savor it before going to bed.

So after confirming that there was no one in the corridor, she quietly locked the door, then crawled back into bed, and hopefully reached for the spot where her treasures were originally placed at the head of the bed...

However, it was empty.

The place where "Theory of Higher Elements" should have been placed is now empty.

"Where's my book?"

Sarah, whose ears were a little red from excitement, calmed down and said with a confused look on her face, "I remember putting it here. Did I leave it at the hotel?"

Chapter 18 A Good Book

A few days passed by.

Today is also a beautiful day. Miss Avril woke up on her soft bed as usual in the morning, washed up, had breakfast, and then prepared to start today's work.

"Bird, what do you want to report today?"

"Yes, Lord." Bird took out a stack of documents and said, "Please allow me to report on the latest status of the territory project."

"With the addition of Magician Sophia, the previously undecipherable blueprints have finally been fully understood. Thanks to the efforts of the magic craftsmen, the transformation of the magic power machine is steadily progressing. We expect it to be fully transformed and put into production by the end of the month..."

"The factory is located at the edge of the territory's downwind vent. Although it's quite far from the road, the current magical power machine converts magic power into wind power. Although it produces less pollution, it generates a lot of noise during operation. Therefore, it is built to minimize noise pollution..."

"This year's wool harvest season is coming, and we are short of manpower in our territory. We need to hire temporary workers..."

In the past, Bird would just throw in a few reports, Avril would sign them, and that would take him half an hour at most. But with the progress of various projects, today's reports were extra numerous, and with the added detail of the explanations, Bird kept talking nonstop, dragging on for almost an hour before he finished... Of course, that was intentional.

As expected, the lord soon became like a math class. At first, he seemed to be listening attentively, but gradually the sounds in his ears became hazy and his eyelids began to droop.

Avril: “Zzz….”

"Are you listening, miss?" Math teacher Bird said as he reached out and knocked on the desk.

"Ah, uh."

Avril suddenly woke up, and before she could wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth, she immediately denied it: "Yes, I was just closing my eyes and thinking."

"That's good." Math teacher Bird smiled and began to ask questions. "I thought you were asleep. After all, why would someone doze off so early in the morning? Turns out you were thinking—By the way, do you have any suggestions for the plan I just proposed?"

Avril blushed and stammered, "Uh, I think, I think there's nothing wrong with it."

【Evaluation: General】

[Reward: "A Good Book"]

Another weird reward.

It was fine to reward him with a hand-pulled pancake before, but to be honest, it was too much to reward him with a notebook this time - and I had read it myself.

While Bird was complaining in his heart, he realized that he had completed his goal of teasing the lord today, so he didn't bother Avril anymore. He said goodbye and the math class was over... No, he said goodbye and left.

Leaving the corridor, he headed straight for where he actually needed to work.

For a high-level magician, although there is no dedicated research institute at present, it is still reasonable to have an office.

But today is a little different.

Sarah was also in the office today, and was asking Sophia questions.

"Sophina, we've been here for several days," Sarah demanded. "We've been tinkering with this magical power machine. When will the Pan-Magic Movement's activities begin? I can't wait to fight for the organization's cause."

Sophia had a dead face, as if she wanted to die: "Be patient, Sarah."

"Patience, patience! I've heard this so many times these past few days," Sarah said, a look of confusion on her face. "We have to do something, right? Even if it's just writing some promotional slogans. If this keeps going on, I'm starting to doubt whether our business really exists. Or is it just an excuse you made up, Sophiena, to stay with that man named Bird?"

Sophia was overwhelmed.

Seeing Bird coming over, she immediately looked over at him, meaning that she wanted him to solve the problem quickly because she couldn't fool him anymore.

"Oh, that's right, Miss Sarah. An organization's actions can't just rely on passion; they also require objective material conditions."

Bird crossed his arms and said seriously, "Especially the funding. Printing requires a lot of money, organizing publicity also requires a lot of money, and hiring staff also requires money... Miss Sarah, you may not need a salary, but not everyone can be like you."

"Our current operation is to raise the necessary funds. Once this magical power machine is operational, we will have a steady stream of financial support."

"So you understand, Miss Sarah?"

"Is that right?"

Sarah frowned and looked at Sophiena.

"That's right," Sophia nodded immediately. "The magic-powered machine we're researching is to raise enough funds for future activities."

"I see." Sarah shook her head, finally accepting what he said. "I see. I'll work harder and try to finish the machine as soon as possible."

After saying that, she sat down at a desk in the office, took a piece of drawing and started writing and drawing, working very hard and seriously.

After comforting Sarah, Sophia leaned over to Bird and whispered, "Now that we've gotten away with it, what will we do once the machine is built? Are we really going to organize that pan-magic movement?"

Bird: "Haha, how could that be? Of course, all the money earned is used to expand production, fund the lord's election, and research the institute. Who would use the money to invest in some pan-magic movement? I can just find an excuse to continue delaying it."

Sophia felt relieved and began to work hard for her own research institute and funding.

For a moment, the two magicians were carefully studying the magic circle on the blueprint.

Bird knew nothing about magic and was just staring blankly at the scene. However, he suddenly remembered the book "Higher Elements Theory" that he had taken from Sophia's room a few days ago. Then he had an interesting idea.

"Oh, right."

He began, "A few days ago, I found a book in the corridor called 'Theory of Higher Elements'. I'm not sure if it was lost by you."

When saying this, Bird paid attention to Sophia's expression, but found that the magician lady was concentrating on the work at hand, as if the little book had nothing to do with her.

Bird was not surprised. After all, not everyone was a lord who could show his expression on his face. Especially the act of secretly reading a novel, most people would never admit to it even if they were beaten to death - he would never admit it even if he was beaten to death.

So he continued, "Okay, I'll ask other people later—Hey, it's already this late, it's time to go to town."

Sophia's expression remained unchanged, but what Bird didn't notice was that another magician lady who loved reading, after hearing what Bird said, her ears perked up and her face turned a little red.

Chapter 19 I can do anything!

After Bird pretended to go out.

Sarah sat there blushing the more she thought about it.

How, how did my book fall into the hands of that pervert?

The contents inside must have been opened and read, so he must know what kind of book it is.

It must never, ever be discovered to be your own book.

But I haven't even read that precious book yet, so it would be a shame to just give it up...

Yes, that’s right, that man Bird said he was going to town and he definitely won’t be back for a while.

All I need to do now is go to his room and secretly take the book back. This way, I don’t have to admit that the book is mine, and I can still get the book back.

Just do it.

Sarah suddenly stood up from her seat: "I, I'm going to the bathroom."

With that she left the room as well, carefully trying to avoid people as she tried to get closer to Bird's room.

However, Sarah's movements were too sneaky. She looked around as she walked, which made it hard not to be suspicious.

"Yo~"

Mary suddenly jumped out from the side and said enthusiastically, "Miss Sarah, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it."

"No, it's nothing!"

Sarah was startled. "I'm just strolling around. Mary, can you mind your own business?"

Ok?

Mary felt something was wrong, but then she thought that Bird hadn't done anything bad, so it wasn't her business.

"Oh, then take your time shopping." You can come to me if you need anything.

After Mary left, Sarah breathed a sigh of relief and ran to Bird's room without delay.

"Great, the door is unlocked."

After confirming this, Sarah happily opened the door.

The house was unexpectedly simple and tidy, without any expensive-looking furniture, and was similar to their guest room.

A little surprised, Sarah didn't care about the shyness of visiting the boys' room for the first time, and began to look for

Desk, bedside, wardrobe, drawer.......

I searched everywhere, but found nothing.

"Strange, where is it?"

Sarah wandered around the room like a headless fly: "That shouldn't be the case. The book must be in the room. It's impossible for him to have it with him..."

Just now.

squeak-

The door opened and the owner of the room, Bird, appeared at the door with a playful expression on his face.

"Yo yo yo, look who I caught."

However, after seeing who was inside, Bird raised his eyebrows: "Hey, why is it you? Where's Sophiena?"

Huh? Why are you suspicious of Sophia?

Sarah's little brain worked quickly, and she immediately found an excuse: "Yes, it's like this, I'm here for Sophia."

"Why are you here for Sophiena?"

Bird frowned and took out the book "Theory of Higher Elements" from his arms: "Could it be... take this?"

It's really hidden on my body.

This pervert is so cunning!

"......." Sarah's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Yes, Sophia asked me to get this book for her... I don't know what's in the book, and I haven't read it either, but Sophia asked me to get it!"

A superfluous explanation.

Bird immediately confirmed that it was not Sophia who asked her to come (although it was theoretically possible), and the book was actually Sarah's own.

So, I might have walked into the wrong room that night... Well, after all, we lived next door to each other and had just moved in and the house was not furnished, so it was normal to walk into the wrong room.

"Tsk."

Bird was immediately disappointed: "That's boring. I thought it was Sophia's."

Sophia can be teased, but Sarah is not.

"Okay, I'll give it back to you." He threw the book to the other person and said, "Hide the book well next time. Don't think that changing the cover will make it useful."

Sarah caught it in a panic.

However, holding the lost and found books in her arms, she still couldn't believe that it was so easy to get them back.

"You, you gave it back to me?" Sarah said in disbelief.

"if not?"

Bird wondered, "Isn't this your book?"

"Given your level of perversion, shouldn't you use this book as a threat and do something extreme? Like, hehe, you don't want to be discovered reading this book, or something like that?"

Sarah opened her eyes wide and said, "I thought you must be thinking this in your heart!"

Bird: “?”

Good guy, I just returned the book to you and you still insulted me.

We must put a stop to this idiot's arrogance and let her know who is the boss... number two in this territory.

"Go away. I'm not interested in someone like you who has everything you want." He waved his hand and said, "Take your book and go back. I have something else to do."

Sarah subconsciously retorted, "Say, this book isn't mine! I only got it for Sophia!"

She snorted, hugged the book in her arms, and started to leave at a trot.
