Saving Dad? Or Screwing Him Over?

Etc!

A ferocious and terrifying Fire Dragon?

It landed right in front of her?

Shift your gaze upwards... and upwards again...

"It's Fire Dragon—!"

Hermione screamed, then without a word, drew her Wand...

"Ice Spear Technique!"

Thanks to her long-term, persistent training, Hermione's body reacted instinctively before her brain could even process the information.

Bone-chilling ice formed at the tip of her staff, coalescing into a sharp Ice Spear that shot towards the Fire Dragon before her.

She clearly remembered that Bell had once said that, against creatures like Fire Dragon with strong magic resistance, attacks that were half physical and half magical, such as Ice Spear and Earth Spike, would be more effective.

However, before Hermione's Ice Spear could even reach the Fire Dragon, a pale blue Magic Power Impact struck first, shattering the Ice Spear in mid-air.

"Huh..."

"You little girl, how could you be so ruthless! You attacked ' Big Date ' without even asking what happened!?"

An old man with white hair and beard was standing on the back of the Fire Dragon, glaring at Hermione with a fierce look on his face, as if he wanted to jump down and fight Hermione one-on-one.

By the way, "Big Date" is the name of this Fire Dragon.

"There's someone here!?"

Hearing the reprimand, Hermione noticed that there was an old man standing on the back of the Fire Dragon.

This is truly astonishing! It's the first time she's ever seen Dragon Knight!

... Although the image of this Dragon Knight is quite different from what I imagined.

"Ahem, Hermione, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Newt Scamander, the director of the Ecosystem Park. This Fire Dragon must be his pet."

Bell hadn't expected Scamander's entrance to be so spectacular that he was momentarily stunned and failed to stop Hermione's spellcasting in time.

"Mr. Scamander, this is my girlfriend, Hermione Granger, and these are Phyllis, Lena, Gabrielle, and the Phoebe sisters."

Next, Bell introduced the other people besides Shanna.

"Hello, little girls, I hope you enjoy yourselves here and treat the Magical Animals kindly."

Scamander glanced around and greeted everyone. At the end, he gave Bell a final look.

Now he finally understood that the culprit behind everything was Bell, this seemingly virtuous guy!

Otherwise, why are Bell's sister and girlfriend so unfriendly to Magical Animals?

"Mr. Scamander, what brings you here?"

Unable to grasp the deeper meaning in Scamander's eyes, Bell asked casually.

"Hmph! You have the nerve to say that! The opening ceremony is about to begin, and you're an hour and a half late!"

"You are the representative of the Menethil Family. How can we hold the ceremony without you?"

Scamander glared at Bell with displeasure. Heaven knows how much preparation he'd put into today's opening ceremony. And this Bell guy dared to be late?

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Uh, sorry, I ran into some things on the way and was delayed."

Bell offered a completely insincere apology.

"Enough with the nonsense, come with me."

After saying that, Scamander commanded the ' Big Date ' beneath his feet to flap its wings and slowly fly towards the center of the Floating Island.

Seeing this, Bell called to the others and quickly followed behind the Fire Dragon.

The Floating Island wasn't very big, and soon the group arrived at the plaza in the center.

The square was now full of people.

These people, whether they were partners of the Menethil Family, relatives and friends of family members, or employees on leave, were all invited by the Menethil Family to witness the opening of the Ecosystem Park.

Seeing Scamander fly back on that cool Fire Dragon, people were curious about what he had been up to, and they were even more excited for the rest of the trip.

Using Curses to carefully part the crowd, Bell and the others quickly arrived at the podium located at one end of the square.

"Hello, senior."

A clear, ethereal greeting suddenly reached Bell's ears.

He looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a familiar figure standing in the spot closest to the podium.

"Luna, you're here. Are you all alone?"

Bell smiled as she looked at her junior from her college.

He never expected to run into Luna among so many people; what a coincidence!

"No, I came with my father. Thank you for the ticket, senior."

Luna expressed her gratitude in a flat voice that revealed no trace of thanks.

Incidentally, visitors attending this opening ceremony need to bring their tickets to the Menethil Family's designated shop to collect Portkey and use it on the spot.

As for Bell, he really disliked the feeling of using the Portkey.

The feeling, like a hook was pulling at his belly button, always made Bell feel like his intestines were about to be pulled out.

So, with Shanna's unwavering approval, he decided to ride in his younger sister's little Flying Car and fly to the Ecosystem Park himself.

Although the location of the Ecosystem Park is kept strictly confidential, Bell doesn't mind his friends finding out.

Not to mention, having spent half a day wandering in the sea, Phoebe and the others probably had no idea where they were.

"Don't mention it, we're all family. Where's your father?"

Looking around, Bell couldn't find anyone who looked like Luna's father near her.

Luna's father is really carefree. With so many people around, isn't he afraid his daughter will get lost?

"My father went infiltrated to investigate. He said that the Menethil Family's plot to overthrow the Magical World must be hidden in this huge experimental field. He wants to dig it out and expose it, so that people will know the evil true face of the Menethil Family."

"..."

Blinking, Bell was at a loss for words because Luna's statement contained so many flaws that he didn't know where to begin.

However, Luna's father should really be grateful that he has a good daughter, otherwise he would definitely have done something to her!

Although if it weren't for Luna, he wouldn't have known about her outrageous thoughts...

So, did the Little Witch actually save her father, or did she cause him trouble?

This is a problem...

"Little Bell, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get on the bus, the opening ceremony is about to start!"

Seeing that Bell and the others had stopped and weren't moving from under the podium, Scamander urged them on impatiently.

"Coming right away."

After responding, Bell looked at Luna again.

"Luna, do you want to come with us?"

Although theoretically all the tourists here are related to the Menethil Family, there shouldn't be any treacherous individuals among them.

But as for the actual situation... only God knows.
