Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 139 Dinner at Klein's House

"Please come in."

After opening the door, Klein stepped aside, bent down and raised his hand, inviting Angel to come in like a waiter at the door of a hotel.

"Thank you."

Angel was not polite. This was not the first time she came to Klein's home.

Since the Moretti family's housewarming celebration last time, Angel has visited this neighbor's house several times. Most of them ran into Klein's younger sister Melissa Moretti after work and were warmly invited by her. , came to Klein's house to have a chat.

But unlike the previous few times, this time it was Angel who asked to come to the door.

Entering the living room, Angel went straight to the single sofa next to the bay window and sat down directly as if he were back at home.

Nos. 2, 4 and 6 Daffodil Street have almost the same internal structure. The locations of the living room, study, kitchen, bathroom and other rooms on the first floor are all the same as her own home, especially the same one next to the oriel window facing the street. Single sofa.

She stretched her limbs on the sofa and watched Klein go to the kitchen. After working for a while, he served two cups of steaming coffee.

"Melissa hasn't finished school yet. I thought you were here to find her."

After putting the coffee on the table, Klein sat on the sofa opposite Angel, stretched his hands and feet, and said with a tired face.

Today, the two of them patrolled the jurisdiction with the senior night watchers, and used their free time in the afternoon to search for the "red chimney" building that Klein divined in the city. After running around for a day, they were very tired by now.

But thinking of Ms. Daly's letter last night, Angel insisted on asking to come to Klein's house to talk about "private matters".

"This time I'm not looking for her, I'm looking for you," Angel said, staring at the steaming coffee in the cup. "Ms. Dai Li sent me a letter last night, and she mentioned the 'special application' again."

"again?"

Klein keenly captured the word.

It was only then that Angel remembered that he hadn't told Daly about her first visit.

"Is such that……"

From when Daly came to Tingen at night and used her translucent face to communicate with her, until last night when she handed the reply to the courier who grabbed the letter with his tongue, Angel fully told Ke Ryan.

Well, except for offending Daly during the "instigation", and asking the other party to find the ingredients for the potion.

"It turns out that Ms. Daly has indeed mastered the 'acting method', no wonder she was promoted so quickly... But why did the church prohibit rumors about this method of safely digesting potions? Even people who know about it swear not to disclose the relevant information information?"

Klein murmured, lost in thought, picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and grinned because of the scalding hot coffee.

"You may have to wait until you reach the top of the church to know the reason. At least Ms. Dai Li, who is Sequence 6, still doesn't know the relevant information."

Angel is also very puzzled by this, but the church insider she knows so far is Ms. Daly with the highest sequence. Since she doesn't know or can't tell, there is no other news channel.

"Leaving this aside, she also said that we should submit a special application as soon as possible. My 'Seer' potion has been digested, but what about you? If you need to take the potion on the spot..."

Angel knew that Klein had somehow learned that he was the "instigator" of Sequence 8, so he had this question.

"Ms. Dai Li specifically mentioned that the church does not have the formula for the 'Instigator' potion. After the test, you may be asked to prepare the potion on the spot for promotion, and I'm afraid I can only figure out a way by myself. What a pity .”

There was no regret on her expression, but a smile.

Klein on the opposite side also heaved a sigh of relief.

"That's no problem, we can go to the captain tomorrow to submit a special application."

He seemed to let go of something on his mind, with a smile on his face.

"After submitting the application, we need to find an opportunity to tell the other team members about the 'acting method'. Well...the captain is already performing the act, and I believe he will have results soon..."

Having said that, Klein frowned, as if recalling something unpleasant.

"...As for other people, Leonard is probably aware of this method, or at least has a similar summary. We can tell Dai Li and others how to play the captain. Don't be too direct, it will appear deliberate, and let the examiners People thought we would get Ms Daly into trouble if we knew ahead of time that we needed to make a vow..."

Angel sipped hot coffee, bathed in the sunset that spilled into the living room outside the window, and watched Klein rack his brains, planning how to reasonably "reveal" the acting method tomorrow. For a moment, he felt that this moment of tranquility and peace would Lasts until the end of time.

"Well, what happened?"

Klein was talking endlessly about his plan when he felt Angel's gaze and raised his head to look at him.

"No, it's okay, you continue..."

wow-

There was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock at the door, followed by Melissa's soliloquy:

"I'll be back."

She held her schoolbag in one hand and bread and vegetables in paper bags in the other. She opened the door with her knees and walked into the living room.

"Hey, Klein, you're so early today...Miss Angel, you're here too!"

Melissa found the two of them in a corner of the living room, shouted in surprise, then swept her eyes back and forth between Angel and Klein, and asked suddenly:

"Miss Angel, do you want to have dinner with us today?"

------

"Braised lamb, this is my brother's specialty."

Putting the last dish on the table, Melissa introduced it proudly.

Unexpectedly, Klein would cook such a "tough dish". Angel, who had only been able to stew in a pot for two lifetimes, blushed a little. She lifted the lid of the dinner plate, and was driven by self-esteem to try to find fault, but was lost in the In the instant burst of aroma.

"...Well, it's really delicious..."

She had to admit.

As Klein, who had finished distributing the dinner plates, also sat down, Angel saw that the two were preparing to eat, and asked curiously:
"Don't you need to wait for Mr. Benson to come back?"

Melissa handed the bread to Klein, then spread butter on her piece, and replied:

"Ban... the company where my brother works has often worked overtime until very late recently. Before that, he often needed to travel to Pritz Harbor and even Dixie County. Fortunately, he can push off those heavy tasks recently, because..."

She looked at Klein who was breaking bread, and smiled without saying a word.

Angel understood in his heart that Klein became a Nighthawk, and getting this high income would be of great help to the Moretti family, which was originally supported only by Mr. Benson.

Their eldest brother, who is so busy that his hairline recedes frequently, no longer needs to work overtime frequently for that little extra income, and Melissa...

In less than a month of knowing Melissa, Angel could clearly see that the girl's facial skin was gradually becoming rosier, the subcutaneous fat was slowly filling in, and even the long black hair was getting shinier.

It is conceivable that she did not get enough nutrition at this age before that.

No wonder Klein works so hard to be promoted and to gain a foothold among the Nighthawks...

Looking at "Soothsayer" Klein who was smearing butter on the bread next to her, a smile appeared on Angel's lips. She quickly took a bite of the fluffy bread to hide her expression.

Well, maybe after a while, he won't be a "Seer". By the way, what is the name of the potion for the Seer's Sequence 8?

While thinking about it, Melissa across from her thought of something again, her eyes lit up, and she said:

"Besides, Benson... Brother, he is currently taking advantage of his spare time to review and prepare to take the kingdom's public examination next year. If he can pass the exam to become a government employee, everything will be fine."

By the way, Miss Justice mentioned in the Tarot Club that the proposal to recruit affairs officials through public examinations will enter the implementation stage early next year. For an employee like Mr. Benson who is diligent in introspection, if he can...

Hey, but how did the Moretti family, such an ordinary family, learn about this proposal that had not even passed the vote of the upper and lower houses?

This question suddenly popped up in Angel's mind, and he looked up at Melissa. Seeing that she was immersed in her imagination of a better life in the future, she turned to look at Klein.

The latter was looking at himself, but then looked away again.
