The Tragedy of the Key

Seeing the blonde woman walking towards him, the silver-haired youth put down his teacup and said calmly, "Finished chatting?"

"Um!"

Where is Leila?

"She's already gone back!"

"Oh, right! Teacher, Leila asked me to tell you before she left that she will act according to plan, and she hopes you can be there on time!"

After Anna finished speaking, the silver-haired boy nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go!" (Old Suo)

"Where to, (Anna)?"

"I'll take you home and let you meet Irene and the others!"

Upon hearing the word "home," a strange red light flashed across the blonde woman's face, and she nodded vigorously.

"Buzz!"

Just as the blonde woman's head completed its second round of repetition, a dazzling white light flashed on the ground, and then the master and disciple disappeared from the palace.

"Call out!"

Upon hearing the piercing sound of something cutting through the air, His Your Highness the Prince, who was walking slowly through the woods, looked up and examined the scene closely.

"What a huge ball of light! Is it... Starfall?"

"Forget it, let's find a place to rest first, and talk about it tomorrow!"

After speaking, the Blue-haired boy tightened his backpack, looked around, and then walked in a certain direction.

"Waaah... Grandiere, where are you?"

"Grandiere!"

Please, don't abandon me!

"Waaaaah... Where are you... Waaaah!"

Hearing the cries coming from afar, the Your Highness the Prince stopped, carefully identified the source of the sound, and then walked straight towards it.

"Splash!"

"Click"

Although His Your Highness the Prince made a series of noises during his actions, the person who was crying had no energy to pay attention to them and therefore did not notice the other party's approach.

"Little sister, what's wrong?"

The sudden appearance of the gentle voice startled the girl, but she quickly recovered, because the pair of golden eyes in front of her were both gentle and sincere.

"Hmph!"

Sniffling to compose herself, the blue-haired girl spoke up, "Big brother, I've gotten separated from my mother. Can you help me find her?"

Looking at the girl with the same hair color as him, the Your Highness the Prince said with a slight smile, "Alright!"

"Thank you... big brother!"

He smiled at her again, then Your Highness the Prince the girl's hand and began the side quest to find her mother.

Looking at the blonde woman standing opposite him, Sordil said apologetically, "Anna, I'm sorry. You've just arrived in this era and should have taken your time to adjust, but..."

"Teacher, you don't need to explain, I understand!"

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the blonde woman finished speaking, a white hand handed her a thick book and a silver-white rhombus-shaped crystal.

"These are some of my insights into Space Magic, along with a 2.0 version of the Space Magic Crystal that allows for Teleportation. Take them with you!"

"Good!"

After speaking, the blonde woman took the two items in front of her with both hands, carefully kept them safe, then waved to the silver-haired boy opposite her and embarked on a new journey.

After the students' figures disappeared into the sunset, the silver-haired boy smiled and shook his head, then released a huge silver-white firework at his feet.

"Knock knock"

"Knock knock knock"

"Knock knock"

After confirming that the code was correct, the blond man who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly walked to the door and gently opened it.

"Come in quickly!"

Hearing the blond man's greeting, the cloaked man outside the door strode in.

"How's the situation?" (The cloaked man)

"She arrived yesterday, she's been waiting for you!" (Blonde man)

"Tomorrow will be the seventh day. Make sure she shows up on time; I'll meet her then!" (Cloaked man)

"I understand!" (Blonde man)

Seeing his companion's troubled expression, the cloaked man asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Do we really have to do this?"

"I know you're very upset, but this is the only way!" (Cloaked Man)

"All right!"

After receiving a clear answer, the cloaked man slowly walked out of the room, while the blond man beckoned a gray bird.

July 14, X777, Hartefilia Mansion

"Ding ding"

"Ding ding"

"They're here!"

After hearing the response from inside the door, the knocking sound of the door knocker disappeared into the air.

"Snap!"

After the door was opened, the person who answered it froze on the spot.

"G... Grammy?!"

"It's me, Aunt Spetta!"

"Quick!"

"Come in quickly!"

After letting the Green-haired Beauty into the room, the purple-haired woman asked, "Grammy, why are you back?"

Upon hearing this, the Green-haired Beauty took out a roll of letter paper from her bag and replied, "I received a letter from Mrs. Leila, which is why I rushed back."

Looking at the letter, which wasn't even wrinkled, a hint of certainty flashed across the purple-haired woman's face, but then her face clouded over with worry.

"You... you... sigh!"

Seeing the purple-haired woman hesitate to speak, the Green-haired Beauty hurriedly asked, "Aunt Spetta, what happened? Why do you look so pale?"

Seeing that the truth could no longer be concealed, the purple-haired woman sighed and then said, "Come with me!"

After speaking, the two walked one after the other into the depths of the mansion.

"I never expected Grammy to return at this time! (Maid Number One)"

"It's normal that the mother and daughter live in the Western Continent, so it's not a big deal that they receive the letter a little late!" (Maid Number Two)

"That's what they say, but Mrs. Leila... (Maid Number One)"

"Madam is so kind, she'll definitely be alright!" (Maid Number Two)

"Let's hope so! (Maid Number One)"

As the sounds of discussion faded into the distance, a figure emerged from behind a pillar on one side.

"Damn it! That woman harmed Madam so badly, and she still dares to come back!"

"Bang!"

After leaving his fist mark on the pillar, the black figure stormed off towards the other end of the corridor.

"Madam, Grammy has come to see you!" (Spetta)

A weak sound came from the pink soft bed upon hearing the noise outside the door.

"Aunt Spetta, come in quickly!"

"Creak!"

As the purple-haired woman slowly pushed open the door, the Green-haired Beauty standing outside was instantly drawn to the figure on the bed.

"Mrs. Leila!"

Even as the shouts still echoed in the air, the Green-haired Beauty had already rushed toward the soft bed.

"Madam, how... how could you..."

She smiled slightly at her anxious best friend, then the pale-faced blonde beauty said, "Grammy, you've arrived... cough cough!"

Upon seeing the blonde beauty reach out to her, the Green-haired Beauty knelt down by the bed and offered her hand.

"Mrs. Leila, I'm so sorry, if it weren't for me... Waaah!"

After pulling her other hand out from under the covers to wipe away the other's tears, the blonde beauty laughed and said, "Grammy, don't do that!"

Feeling the warmth emanating from the other person, the Green-haired Beauty's tears flowed even more rapidly.

"Grammy, we are best sisters... aren't we?"

"Uh-huh!"

"In that case, you mustn't cry, or I'll be very sad!"

Hearing this half-threatening reassurance, the Green-haired Beauty put away the pearls on her face and then sent them into her heart.

After tidying her face, the Green-haired Beauty took out a glittering gold key from her bag.

"Mrs. Leila, I am no longer worthy to keep this key. Please return it to you."

"Grammy, I can no longer use it, so I'll leave it to you!"

"In that case, you can keep it and give it to Miss Lucy in the future."

"If you do that, Brandish will definitely become very lonely!"

"Ah~ that child loves playing with Aquarius the most, but she'll adapt quickly!"

"Alright! I'll accept your gift on Lucy's behalf, but until she can use Aquarius, you should keep it for her!"

Upon hearing this, the Green-haired Beauty paused for a few seconds, then nodded vigorously.

"By the way, Brandish about the same age as Lucy? (Leila)"

"Yes, they even attended magic classes together before! (Grammy)"

"If you don't mind, I'll bring her next time!" (Grammy)

"Great! Now I don't have to worry about Lucy being lonely!" (Leila)

"I just wonder if Miss Lucy would like Brandish!" (Grammy)

"No problem, those two will definitely become best friends like us!" (Leila)

"You're too kind!" (Grammy)

After the main plot had progressed, the two beautiful women began to recount their experiences and observations over the past few days. They didn't stop talking until the sun was almost setting, and then reluctantly parted ways.

Gazing at the green figure ahead, the man with the afro muttered resentfully, "It's all your fault... it's all your fault!"

"Otherwise... otherwise..."

As he repeated the words, the eyes of the man with the afro gradually filled with bloodshot veins. The next second, the karmic fire in his chest took control of his body, pushing him forward.

"Da da"

"Da da"

Hearing the sound of running behind her, the Green-haired Beauty instinctively turned her head to look.

"Pfft!"

Almost at the same moment the beautiful woman took action, a sharp dagger pierced her skin with a strange sound.

"It's all your fault... it's all your fault... If it weren't for you, Mrs. Leila wouldn't have turned out like that!"

Looking at the black-haired man with tears streaming down his face, the Green-haired Beauty smiled and said softly, "That's right, if it weren't for me, Mrs. Leila wouldn't have ended up like that, so let me make amends with my life! But... I beg you, please don't involve Brandish, I'll pay for all of this myself!"

"Please... Mr. Solydio!"

Clang!

Hearing that familiar, gentle voice, the man with the afro gradually regained his senses, and in an instant, the hands gripping the knife hilt lost their strength.

Ah~~

Seemingly unable to bear the shock of his actions, the man with the afro screamed and then ran back to the nearby mansion, clutching his head.

Due to the immense shock, the man with the afro lost his senses again, and thus failed to notice that just as he pulled the dagger from the Green-haired Beauty's body, a Silver light flashed from her hand.
