Little Bell's Extraordinary Intuition

"Sigh...!"

As evening fell, Bell gazed up at the setting sun, his heart filled with indescribable, boundless loneliness.

"Life is precious, love is worth more, but for freedom, both..."

"Splat!"

A light impact struck his thigh, followed by a string of silver-bell laughter.

"Hehe, Big Brother, I caught you again!"

Little Bell lifted her innocent little face and beamed happily at Bell.

She was absolutely delighted to finally be playing hide-and-seek with Big Brother again after so long. The only regret was that Sister Shanna and the others had gone to class, so it was just the two of them playing. They were a little short on players.

"Caught again. Little Bell, you're amazing!"

His attempt to reach freedom had once again ended in failure, but Bell did not dare show even the slightest hint of displeasure. He picked Little Bell up and planted a fierce kiss on her chubby little cheek, making the girl burst into another round of crisp, melodious laughter.

"By the way, Little Bell, how did you know I was here?"

Standing atop the spire of Hogwarts' South Tower, Bell looked at the moss on the red tiles beneath his feet, the corner of his eye twitching uncontrollably.

He had already run all the way onto the roof, so why could Little Bell still find him immediately!?

"Hmm... I don't know! I just felt like Big Brother should be here!"

After seriously thinking about it while biting her finger, Little Bell readily gave up when she realized she did not understand it herself. No matter what, winning hide-and-seek was always a good thing, right?

"I-I see. Little Bell really is amazing."

This time, Bell's mouth twitched too. But he could hardly torture a confession out of Little Bell, so he could only sigh helplessly to himself
