"Name."
"Huai Shi."
The crisp voice answered, but it did not make the recorder behind the desk waver.
As if he was used to this, Vice Principal Isaac did not even have the interest to adjust his glasses. He asked again without looking up, "Name?"
"Next should be age."
On the other side of the table, the little girl seemed to remind him helplessly.
She sat on a chair that was too wide and large for her. Her long black hair flowed down her white shoulders like flowing water. It meandered down her dress and almost fell to the ground.
Under the afternoon sun, the strands of long hair reflected a golden light, dazzling the eyes of those who saw it.
"Name?" Isaac asked again.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Let me think."
She held her chin and thought hard for a moment. Suddenly, she snapped her fingers. "Locust Tree, Glass Crystal, Angelina Sakura, Feather Spirit, Antalya, Sorrowful Charm, Hathaway … Rosette Rose, Tear Feather Spirit, Kite. What do you think? "
Isaac's pen hovered over the paper, trembling slightly, but only slightly. The long list of names went on for five minutes without stopping made Isaac's pen hover over the paper.
After a long time, it fell again.
He wrote two words.
[Sophora Kite]
"Age?" He asked again.
His expression was calm and without any anxiety. He was as cold and arrogant as ever.
"Eighteen?"
The girl continued to think, "Well, I should be twelve this month, right? I'll be eighteen in a few months … It's not wrong to fill in eighteen first. Eighteen is good, so I don't have to change it later. "
Isaac's expression did not change. He wrote, [Unknown].
Then, without stopping, without asking any questions, he wrote [Female] in the gender column. Immediately, the delicate and cute little girl raised her eyebrows and seemed to be angry. "You dare to assume my gender?"
"Sophora … Ms. Kite."
Isaac tried to maintain his calm, "You already mentioned your gender in the file you submitted yesterday. I don't think there will be any omissions."
"Is that so?"
The girl blinked her eyes innocently and took the lead to look away, as if she was shy. "Oh, I forgot."
"… I hope that such a regret will not appear in your future career."
Isaac picked up the stamp and stamped it at the end of the document.
Pa!
A bright red brand was left behind.
"Welcome to the Ivory Tower, Miss Huai Yuan."
He didn't know why, but when he said the last few words, there was a faint sense of weakness.
"Well, thanks a lot."
The girl jumped down from the chair and reached out to take the folder. She asked excitedly, "Where should I go next? Are there any other procedures to be completed? I really like the uncles and aunties outside. They're nice to talk to … "
"No, there isn't."
Isaac decisively interrupted her, "Please go home and wait for the notice. The Academic Affairs Office will arrange the follow-up for you."
"That's so troublesome. How about I come back tomorrow?"
"No, I'm on a business trip tomorrow."
He looked outside the room and raised his voice, "Madam Zhen Xi, please help me send Madam Huai Yuan out."
It was rare for him to lose his original reserved demeanor and rigid rules.
Only after he closed the door did he heave a sigh of relief.
He felt tired in his heart.
He turned back and silently stared at the backup document for a long time. He turned the wheel of the safe and then put the almost completely blackened document into the vault in the deepest part of the Ivory Tower.
In this way, the Ivory Tower's alchemy equipment management and even the alchemy research center, Taiyi Academy, welcomed its new owner without any warning or rumor. At the same time, it quietly and secretly welcomed its new owner.
.
She looked about thirteen years old.
She was at the most adorable age for children. Her skin was as white as the sun.
Her dress was exquisite and cute, but she was loosely draped in a man's shirt. The sleeves were so long that it was almost impossible to see her pair of slender little hands.
There was also an identity tag hanging around her neck that didn't match her appearance at all.
She hummed happily as she walked forward.
Her figure was slim and slender. Her long black hair was like a phantom, fluttering slightly in the breeze. The hair ornaments hanging on her hair also swayed as if they were dispersing with her long hair.
She flew into a dream-like bubble.
Zhen Xi followed her step by step, but she didn't know why, but she was distracted.
It was hard to imagine that one day she would be distracted by looking at a little girl. Was she some kind of hidden perverted lolicon? Ah, no, now she was more like a stalker …
Because she should have just walked her to the door, but she unknowingly followed her for a long time.
And the moment her footsteps stopped, the little girl seemed to hear the voice in her heart. She turned around and looked at her.
The sun shone through the gaps in the shade, making the pair of black eyes overflowing with magnificent brilliance.
"You do look like a stalker. That's right, Zhen Xi." She said.
"Ah …"
Zhen Xi stiffened in place and subconsciously took a step back. She hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, I was just, I was distracted. I'm sorry, that's not right … Why …"
"That's right, I can hear what you're thinking."
The girl's smile became more and more cheerful: "I say, don't worry, your relationship with Miss Satoko is very strong. It won't change because of my existence."
"No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm with Satoko, Satoko is just my …"
Zhen Xi's face turned red in an instant. She was frightened, but with those eyes looking at her, she couldn't say that she only saw Satoko as a little sister.
In the end, she suddenly sadly found that she was actually craving Satoko's body.
She was lowly.
Then, when she woke up from her trance, she found that the young and delicate face was already close to her, looking at her with interest.
It was as if she could see the pain in her soul.
It was full of joy and evil.
Zhen Xi subconsciously screamed and fell back. But she found that she was sitting on a bench. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the little girl jump up and sit next to her.
"Oh, this is so interesting. What are people thinking in their heads every day? It's so unhealthy. It makes a child like me blush … Coffee or milk?"
"Huh?" Zhen Xi was stunned.
"Then I'll give you milk."
She took out a handful of candies from the small bag under the man's shirt and gave her one.
Zhen Xi looked at the candy in her hand in confusion.
She looked at the little girl next to her.
She was obviously different from the past, but this side profile was so familiar that she forgot to breathe. She subconsciously blurted out: "… Miss Satoko?"
As soon as she said it, she realized that she forgot herself and awkwardly shook her head: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I …"
"No, you're not wrong."
A calm voice came, causing her to freeze in place.
She was stunned.
"Or rather, you've only just noticed the similarities between me and Huai Zhisuko. You're already a little too slow." The little girl took off the wrapper of the coffee candy, opened her mouth, and threw it into her mouth. She happily savored the burnt and sweet taste.
In the long silence, Zhen Xi couldn't help but jump up from the chair and exclaim: "Miss … Satoko?!"
"Don't worry, it's not a dream. In other words, your memories in the past are more like a dream."
The little girl looked down and folded the candy wrapper. Soon, it formed a lifelike little bird. She blew on it, and it spread its wings and flapped.
Unfortunately, such a structure didn't meet the standards of aerodynamics, so it couldn't take off. It could only spin in the palm of her hand.
"W-why?" Zhen Xi's eyes widened. She moved closer and didn't care that she was being too rude: "Why did you become so … so small?"
Shouldn't Satoko be the older sister!?
"Ah, this is one of the flaws of turning illusion into reality. There's always an infant stage, which is why humans are so troublesome."
The little girl who was chewing on the coffee candy calmly raised her hand and pressed it against Zhen Xi's forehead: "Calm down, in a way, I'm indeed that Satoko of yours.
However, I might be different from what you think. You should have noticed it, right? The part of Satoko that's not human … "
In the short silence, Zhen Xi nodded with difficulty.
She had already prepared herself for the possibility that she was just chasing an illusion.
After all, she had been in school for so long, and she had learned a lot, including the existence of divine incarnations, soul reflections, and even soul phenomena.
However, to be honest, 'Satoko' was different from all of these.
She came from Tongi's experiment.
Through her alchemy and gifts, through Huai Shi's afterimage, she condensed the incarnation of Young Master Ming's compassionate divinity. Under Huai Shi's acting and maintaining, it gradually broke away from Huai Shi's shackles and finally formed a 'miracle mark'.
It was not an exaggeration to call it a 'phenomenon'.
Tongi gave it divinity, and Huai Shi gave it humanity. Finally, through the miraculous carrier of the afterimage, it formed a 'reflection'. In the night of Dan Bo Burn, countless people witnessed it and finally completed the miracle on earth.
Now, the reflection had completed its mission and had completely disappeared.
It was just that Tongi and Huai Shi never thought that they would leave behind such a delightful result.
An interesting soul.
After wandering in the darkness for so long, she did not get lost. She only saw a glimmer of light and chased it all the way until now, regardless of whether it was a flat road or an abyss …
Should it be called simple or stupid?
No matter what, this stubbornness was enough to be admired and moved.
But in the end, she still had to be told the answer.
Isaac was too much like her teacher. Although he looked unreasonable, he was always too hesitant and gentle in these matters, so she could only swallow the truth and silently suffer a stomachache.
Because of this, it dragged on for longer and longer.
But, after knowing this result, what would she do?
For a long time, Zhen Xi stared at her blankly. After a long time, she suddenly whispered, "So, I may never see Miss Sukiko again …"
"Perhaps."
The little girl nodded, "There are always parting in life, Zhen Xi. You encountered a dream and woke up, so you saw the sun. But no matter how beautiful the dream was in the past, you should not stay there. "
The girl was silent. In the end, she could not help but tear up.
"Although I was prepared, but, I still feel sad … I'm sorry …" She awkwardly wiped the corner of her eyes, lowered her head, and suppressed her sobs.
"Don't you feel resentful, Zhen Xi?" The little girl looked back at her and asked curiously, "Maybe Sukiko's existence is just a lie."
Zhen Xi shook her head hard.
"I can persevere until now, I can become the person I am today, it is all because of Miss Sukiko's teachings. I am very grateful to her … "She awkwardly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, raised her head, and seriously answered," I, I want to become a person like Miss Sukiko. "
She seriously said, "Even if she is a fake, it doesn't matter, I will never forget her!"
In the silence, the little girl who was scrutinizing her raised her eyebrows, suddenly, she smiled.
She happily reached out and rubbed her hair.
"What a good child, Zhen Xi."
She said, "Miss Sukiko's existence is a miracle itself.
Now that you have received this miracle, you are walking on the path she expected. So, don't be uneasy and afraid, you are the trace she left in this world.
So, do your best.
One day, you will also become someone's' Sukiko ', become the light that illuminates them … "
She paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic, and her smile became mischievous, "But now, you should enjoy the youth that belongs to you and Miss Sukiko."
Under the afternoon sun, a gentle breeze blew from afar.
Once again, it blew her long hair.
She lightly jumped down from the bench, waved goodbye, and turned to leave.
But when he finally turned his head, he looked at the two figures hiding behind the bushes in the distance with a meaningful gaze.
She did not know whether it was curiosity or pleasure.
