The Dean Has Arrived

"Snapped!"

A soft sound interrupted Xi Wei's thoughts. [+New^^+

That was the sound of Tio putting the coffee cup on the table hard and saying that the cheap-looking cup didn't break because of it. The quality was really surprising...

So Xi Wei withdrew his awareness from the person approaching at high speed, blinked and looked at the little girl in front of him.

"Tea." The girl said concisely.

Only then did Xi Wei remember that he had indeed asked the little girl to make tea for him after finishing the dinner served by Tio.

"Isn't this coffee..." Xi Wei's eyes moved from the expressionless Tio's face to the cup, where the brown liquid was steaming.

"No, it's tea." Tio corrected: "Black tea."

After hearing what she said, Xi Wei went to the mouth of the cup and smelled it. He found that the liquid in the cup did not have the aroma of coffee, but the aroma of tea... No, the smell coming out of it was definitely not qualified to add fragrance. 'The word, in short, should be somewhat similar to the smell of grass mixed with the aroma of tea.

Xi Wei's face suddenly wrinkled. How on earth can he make the black tea the color of muddy water?

"Can I ask about the composition of this thing?" The corner of his mouth twitched, staring at the little girl who seemed like nothing happened.

"0.5% black tea leaves, 2.5% weeds, and 97% malice."

"Before asking what the evil spirit is, I want to ask where the most important water went..."

"In the novel."

"?"

"No, please don't worry about it." After saying something unclear, Tio continued to put on a cool face and turned a blind eye to the frowning Xi Wei: "Please drink it while it's hot."

This thing is so weird if you can drink it!

So Xi Wei decided to change the subject: "Speaking of which, you sneaked out of the clock agency, right? Then aren't you afraid of them chasing after you?"

"There are a lot of false marks on the road, so it's not easy for them to find me."

Tio seemed to be very proud of his actions. Although his expression remained unchanged, his voice became a little lighter.

As soon as she finished speaking, the window of the room was smashed open from the outside, and then a figure flew in.

That was a figure that looked very familiar to Xi Wei.

She wore a half-covered knight's armor. Her long silver hair was casually tied into a ponytail, swaying with the strong wind blowing in from outside. At the same time, the knight's sword and what looked like a flintlock gun behind her also proved that she was not helpless. In addition, the most eye-catching thing And the emblem on her armor.

The emblem composed of gears and clocks. The world's largest alchemical organization clock mechanism!

Judging from her breath, she was the one who approached here at high speed just now.

"Miss Tio, I'm here to take you back."

The girl who just broke into the room said this.

Xi Wei covered his face as if he had a toothache to prevent himself from laughing uncontrollably.

And Tio, who had just said that it would not be easy for the clock mechanism to find him, also had a rare look of embarrassment on his face.

Even she couldn't calm down when such a slap in the face happened as soon as she said the bold words.

"I refuse!" Tio immediately refused: "The Lovinia matter has not been resolved yet, now is not the time to tuck your tail and run away."

Xi Wei's eyes lit up. I knew I had underestimated Tio. Unexpectedly, the little girl also realized that Lovinia's matter was not as simple as it seemed, and she was not naive enough to think that she had solved the problem.

"That is a matter for the elders to decide and has nothing to do with you, Miss Tio."

The visitor said righteously: "Please handle this matter from the standpoint of the clock agency."

"Are you going to abandon the people again?" Tio said coldly, and his expression became cold again: "Just like before."

"I believe that the Presbytery has its own reasons." The visitor was unmoved, and his aura did not continue to decline: "Sometimes, in order to preserve the existence of the clock mechanism, or for a more ambitious goal, some sacrifices are made. necessary."

"That's why I'm here." Tio didn't flinch: "To save the ordinary people you don't bother to save."

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and it was the one who finally gave in: "Okay, three days. Within three days, you are free to rescue the people you want to rescue... But when danger occurs in Lovinia, no matter what I will not accept any requests or opinions you have and will force you back to the clock agency."

"It won't happen." Tio still showed no sign of weakness: "I won't let it happen."

So the two looked at each other in silence again, and the room was filled with a sense of depression.

"Although it feels rude to interrupt your seemingly important chat, I still hope you won't treat me like air."

Xi Wei coughed dryly to attract their attention and then interjected.

"Excuse me, my name is Frey von Wanster. I belong to the clock organization's "Impurity Removal Force"."

The visitor nodded slightly, introduced himself to Xi Wei, and then stared at the latter with suspicion: "I wonder what your relationship is with Miss Tio?"

Xi Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the two worlds had obvious similarities, but they also had differences.

In the original world. Fleur's name was given by the church. In this world, she was still able to hold this name even after she was born and turned into a clockwork machine. Obviously, the similarity of the worlds played a role.

But in the original world, Frey, as a devout believer, adheres to the principle of 'abandoning everything that is unnecessary. She only has the belief to serve the Holy Light with her true self, and does not have a surname. As for the Holy Silver Sword Lady, they are purely titles given to her by the outside world, even if she later became the name of the Pure White Church to check and balance Edric College. Even though she is a chess piece, she still has her original intention and has no intention of finding her surname.

But Fleur in this world has the surname and middle name of 'Von Wanster'. Obviously there is quite a difference from Fleur in the original world.

"I'm her teacher." Xi Wei replied without any hesitation.

The suspicion in Fleur's expression became even stronger, and she looked at Tio with questioning eyes.

"guest."

After a moment of silence, the little girl answered.

Although Tio did not admit that he was her teacher, the fact that he did not speak harshly in front of Fleur made Xi Wei very happy. After all, even if Tio doesn't admit Xi Wei's statement and even takes the opportunity to attack, causing Fleur and Xi Wei in this world to fall out, Xi Wei has nothing to be afraid of, but it is always good to avoid fighting with a guy who looks like someone he knows. .

So he grinned, ignoring the girl's resistance, and put his big hands directly on Tio's head and started rubbing it.

This caused veins to appear on the girl's forehead.

"I regretted it, Wanster, can you help me throw him out now?" (To be continued.)
