Chapter 166: Encounter at Night
Ronald turned back and looked in the direction of the sound.
As expected, I saw Nicole's figure at the end of my field of vision.
This investigator girl was probably on a mission at night, so she still wore the same old outfit, wearing a coat and a wide hat, walking in the darkness of the street.
Behind her were two similarly dressed investigators.
However, judging from the way the other two people only dared to follow Nicole, they were probably newcomers who were assigned to work under Nicole, which was perfectly in line with the Bureau's personnel allocation habits.
And stopped Ronald, who was walking alone on the roadside.
Nicole immediately walked towards him, and at the same time did not forget to wave to the two newcomers behind her:
"Come, come with me."
"."
On the other side, Nicole's figure continued to approach.
Ronald also saw changes in the investigator girl.
Although it had only been ten days since the last banquet, Nicole's originally smooth hair was now actually mixed with a few strands of silver.
Ronald immediately realized that this was the aftermath of the last battle in the back garden of the winery.
Although it was okay at the time.
But as time went by, the sequelae of excessive use of spells began to show up on Nicole. This strand of white hair meant the other person's current physical condition.
While Ronald was thinking, Nicole had already walked to him.
As before, he tried his best to pat Ronald on the shoulder:
"Hey, why haven't I seen you recently?"
"If you have time, you can come and have fun with me. The work of the Investigation Bureau is not as good as before. So busy."
"Don't let the relationship between us become so estranged just because you are not working in the bureau. Aren't we friends?"
The girl's enthusiastic invitation seemed to contain no false emotions at all.
Considering Nicole's personality
, Gronald believed that this should be her true thoughts.
With this kind of pure friendship, Ronald naturally nodded:
"Actually, I've been very busy these past two days. I will definitely come find you when I have the chance." "
Hey, I'll tell you where my home is."
He told Ronald with a smile . At his residential address, Nicole's eyes immediately flickered to his side.
After circling Ronald in a circle, she asked in a teasing tone:
"What about your dear Niklaus? Why didn't she come out with you today?"
"Aren't you two usually like this ? Have we always been together?"
Ronald immediately replied:
"Of course it was like this before, but Patricia has returned to Springs now."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the news, the investigator girl suddenly Here comes the spirit.
"I heard before that she completed her mission, and I thought she would stay in Burrenwich and cultivate a relationship with you. But in the end, your beloved Parlini left you?" "Why not
? Do you plan to go over and chase her?"
Ronald smiled:
"Haha——"
The Parlini that Nicole was talking about is the heroine in a very popular opera recently. This opera is about a tragic love story. Can refer to the status of "Romeo and Juliet".
The investigator girl's teasing right now is just trying to mess with his mentality!
In front of Ronald, Nicole saw the awkward expression on his face, and she became even more excited.
While making two "shoo" gestures with his hands in the air, he imitated Patricia's sword skills.
At the same time, she said in a rather regretful tone:
"This kind of super beautiful girl is a noble, and she is also very powerful!" "
A rare stock in the world! Are you really not going to pursue her?" "
."
He kept teasing herself as he watched. Nicole, Ronald smiled and nodded:
"As for Springs, I will still go there later."
"But before going there, I have to deal with my own affairs first, Burrenwich There are a lot of things to do."
Seeing that Ronald was no longer playful, Nicole nodded seriously:
"Yes, that's true."
At the same time, the two novice investigators who had followed her also left. Coming over, watching Nicole and Ronald talking and laughing, one of them hesitated and said:
"Ms. Nicole."
"Who is this gentleman?"
"He, he is Ronald, I'm a friend with good skills."
Nicole answered the question simply, and then said dissatisfied:
"Also, didn't I say it before?"
"I'm not one of those old antiques in the training class, you don't have to be awkward when talking to me. Naughty, how many times do I have to say it before I understand that elite investigator is just a name, and I am not a person with two arms and two legs yet!" Then, the novice investigator who spoke nodded hesitantly: "
Yeah
"
" I know."
"Tsk -"
Turning around with a look of helplessness, Nicole pointed behind Ronald:
"Look, here are the two newcomers I brought, Pat and Berg."
Ronald nodded and said:
"Hello, you two."
Nicole then formally introduced Ronald to the newcomers she brought with her:
"This is Ronald here, my dear partner before."
"Don't look at him like this Son, but I don’t rely on my looks to make a living, I’m actually a very powerful magician.”
Immediately, the two newcomers greeted each other with serious expressions:
“Hello, Mr. Ronald.”
Look at how solemn they are. The appearance of what happened
is probably already imagining what a powerful spellcaster Ronald must be as a friend of elite investigator Nicole.
After having a casual chat with Ronald, Nicole seemed to remember that she was still an investigator on a night patrol, and then she was ready to continue her work.
But before leaving, she specifically reminded Ronald:
"Ronald, you must remember to come and play with me."
"Let me think about it."
"If you don't set a date, God knows when you will come to me." ."
"Just this afternoon, Wednesday!"
"How about it? I don't think I have any work on Wednesday. It's okay for you to come to my house then, right?" "
Of course it's okay."
Faced with Nicole's warm invitation, Ronald naturally couldn't shirk it.
Although he had not worked in the Investigation Bureau for a long time, the investigator girl left a very good impression on him.
Ask yourself, Ronald thinks this is one of his friends.
Of course, he had no reason to directly refuse a friend's daily social invitation.
Immediately, both parties said goodbye to each other.
Ronald continued on the road alone, heading towards his home.
When we walked all the way to the pension apartment, the pension apartment was quiet in the dead of night.
Mrs. Hudson was not on the ground floor at the moment, and the fire in the fireplace was almost burning.
On the contrary, the hot soup on the shelf is still warm when sealed in the jar.
"."
"Sure enough, it's too late to come back."
While sighing in a low voice, Ronald bent over and took a bite and tasted it.
It tastes good and is made by the landlady.
So he walked aside, picked up the food that Hudson had prepared, and returned to his room.
He probably couldn't sleep today.
While at the detective agency, his glass was never empty.
Don't know why.
People in this world always like to drink tea
