After Loran Hill and Ketti left, this underground retreat became quiet again.

"Si Ye, come here quickly. Luo Lan left some candy for us. It's delicious."

Chris sat at the table, opened the light red box in front of her, took out a piece of candy, untied the bow wrapper on it, revealing the white square piece of candy inside.

"Got it." Si Ye walked over slowly with a book in his arms.

"Here~" Chris handed over a candy, which seemed to be a small ball, orange and translucent, and seemed to be somewhat soft and elastic.

Si Ye couldn't resist Chris's kindness, so he took small bites of the candy and chewed it slowly, a sweet and sour taste filling his mouth.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about something, Si Ye?" Chris looked at Si Ye who seemed to be thinking about something.

"I'm a little worried." Si Ye swallowed the candy.

"After Little Loran takes Katie away, she won't stay in school for long this time. She'll probably return to Clancy soon, and by then..."

"Is Si Ye worried that Roland will drag Katie into the war?" Chris asked with her legs crossed. As a willful witch, she was very free when there were no outsiders around.

"Actually, I've thought about this." The Mirror Witch put a lollipop into her mouth, licked it, and then took it out.

"But it's not good for us to keep Keti here. She's about to wake up and has been wanting to see Luo Lan. If we forcibly stop her, she will definitely be unhappy. She might even harbor resentment over time."

"There's no need to make things so awkward. I also believe that little Luolan will handle it well and won't let Keti go to the battlefield so easily."

"Let's give each other more trust. Even if something really goes wrong, don't we seniors still have us to support us? Titus will also help." Chris tapped her teeth lightly and bit off a small piece of the pink and white lollipop.

"Don't be as competitive as before. Sometimes it's better to just let things take their course. You don't have a job in the academy now, so just take a good rest." Chris looked at Si Ye lying on the table. This witch sometimes had too strong a sense of responsibility.

"Huh, okay." Si Ye sighed slightly.

"But I always feel that Frost Rose has been a little strange recently, and there are some bad signs." Si Ye said so, and then Chris handed over a big lollipop.

Si Ye looked at the candy, which was not much smaller than his head, and hesitated whether he should take it. After looking at it for a long time, he decided to reach out his little hand and hold it.

"Yeah." Chris's tone was unusually serious this time.

"Actually, last time, with Agatha, didn't you find it strange? Why didn't all the Sequence 9s in the academy happen to be absent?"

"The one from Bridge Pier Academy suddenly announced he had to go to the Endless Sea after watching the Winter Festival Gala that year. Then, Bines was transferred back to the church. She seemed to be aware of the situation of the other two Sequence 9s and wasn't worried at all about them coming in to disrupt our battle."

"I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but I couldn't find anything at the time, so I just let it go and let Keti and Luo Lan stay together, which is safer."

"Later, as expected, Agatha showed up. Fortunately, Servis and Titus arrived, and the matter was resolved within the witch community, preventing further conflict."

"For the past two years, I've been in contact with other members of the Sages' Association and have collected a lot of intelligence from various places. Only then did I discover some clues."

"What clues? Chris didn't tell me this whole time." Si Ye put down the lollipop in his hand and looked at his friend across from him worriedly.

"Some people seem impatient and want to try something, testing the taboos of the past twilight era."

"It's not that there were a lot of people involved and they didn't come down directly, but some people seemed to be deliberately condoning some of the behavior."

"It's like a guard who doesn't take action but quietly watches the thief open the closed box in the room." Chris made an analogy.

"Isn't there any unity within the Sages Society?" Si Ye sighed, but there was nothing she could do. She didn't have much contact with other people, unlike Chris who had a wide range of social contacts.

"I hope little Loran can catch some fish this time, and Katie will protect her well." Chris said.

Emenas, Walled City College.

I opened the dormitory I hadn't visited for a long time. Although the things inside were the same, they were covered with a little dust.

Loran Hill stretched out his hand, and a breeze blew continuously, accurately carrying away all kinds of dust and floating out of the window, and the room became clean again.

"What do you want to eat tonight, Katie?" She took the girl beside her to the kitchen or laboratory.

"I like everything Roland makes." Katie followed Roland Hill over here.

"Then let's make mushroom soup." Thinking of the scene of Katie picking mushrooms in the past, Loran Hill suddenly wanted to try it again.

"Yeah." Katie stood aside, looking at Loran Hill with curiosity as always.

"Come, Keti, help peel the potatoes."

"OK."

The two seemed to have returned to their previous college days, peacefully cooking in the kitchen and preparing dinner.

The next day, in the Black Swan Castle activity room.

"Woo woo, Sister Luo Lan is finally back~" As soon as Ye Ling saw Luo Lan Hill appear, she rushed over.

After she and several others heard that Loran Hill had returned to school, they gathered in the activity room again.

"I thought I wouldn't see you again." Ye Ling rubbed against Loran Hill's arms, muttering.

Graduation was approaching, and the little girl was also feeling sentimental. Strangely enough, she hadn't grown much in the past two years and was still smaller than Loran Hill.
