Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 97 The unexpected substitute teacher
  At the same time, Natalie, who did not know that she was being cared about by the top Wind Sage on the continent, was making the necessary preparations for the afternoon theory class at her home in Randall.

I wonder what interesting content Teacher Alina will bring her today?
  Are you starting to learn new magic or learning new knowledge?
  With such thoughts in mind, Natalie, who had finally recovered from the near-miss monster crisis in the past two days, took a final inventory of the completed homework on the table, nodded with satisfaction, and pushed forward with full expectation and enthusiasm. Opening the door, he walked briskly towards the first floor of his home.

"Mom, can you eat now?"

Arriving at the kitchen where her mother usually cooks, Natalie asked her mother in the kitchen with her enthusiasm that had not yet faded.

"Sorry, lunch isn't ready yet. Natalie, please sit down and wait for a while."

Hearing the footsteps approaching from far away, Mrs. Arinor immediately stopped chopping vegetables, looked back at the little girl with light brown hair who had a happy smile on her face, and replied with an apologetic smile.

"Okay, Mom."

Natalie nodded, then gently pulled out the chair in front of the dining table and sat down upright.

"By the way, Natalie, did I tell you yesterday that Teacher Christo won't be able to come today."

Unexpectedly, just when Natalie felt bored with this boring waiting time, Mrs. Arinor, who was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, suddenly remembered something very important for today when her little daughter arrived. So, without any hesitation, Mrs. Arinor once again put down what she was doing, raised her voice and turned around to inform her little daughter who was sitting obediently at the table.

"Ah, why?"

Caught off guard by the unexpected news, Natalie, who had been looking forward to the arrival of the afternoon, instantly lowered her head in despair, as if she had lost all motivation. She rested her arms on her chin and looked at the table in the center of the table. The vase stood in a daze.

Why can’t Teacher Alina come again?

Why is she always so busy lately?
  Is the monster issue still unresolved, or is something new happening?

But it won’t happen. Three days ago, Teacher Alina personally told the uncle that there would no longer be that kind of monster in Randall, and...

The agreement made between the three of them!

Thinking of the agreement she made with her teacher and Master Haitang a few days ago, Natalie, who was trying to restrain herself from overthinking, looked even more lost and helpless.

"Um...Mom," Natalie paused, finally clenched her fist hard and said firmly, "Why can't Teacher Alina come today?"

"Maybe she's been busy recently. You know, Teacher Christo is the lady of Suzuran who usually silently guards our East District of Wind. She must have a lot to do on a daily basis."

Sensing the obvious loss in her daughter's words, Mrs. Arinor also felt unspeakably distressed. She tried to give some reasonable explanations to her daughter's beloved teacher and successor of the sage, while comforting her with gentle words. Thinking of the young daughter behind her.

"I see…"

After struggling several times deep inside her heart, Natalie nodded vigorously again.

"But, Natalie, don't be too sad, because Teacher Christo also said in the letter that a substitute teacher will come to our house to teach you during her absence..."

"Substitute teacher?" Upon hearing these unexpected words, Natalie couldn't hide her surprise and couldn't help interrupting her mother before she could finish her words. Soon, she realized that her behavior just now was inappropriate, so she carefully covered her mouth and weakly apologized to her mother: "Ah, I'm sorry, Mom, please continue talking..."

So Mrs. Arinor told as much information about the substitute teacher as she could, trying to dispel the uneasiness lingering in her daughter's heart with this persuasive information.

"Teacher Alina said that?" "Yes, the substitute teacher who came in the afternoon was personally recommended by Teacher Christo. It is said that she is also the teacher you have met Natalie."

After saying that, as if to persuade her daughter, Mrs. Arinor took off the leather gloves on her hands, turned around and walked out of the kitchen. She found the letter that Alina had sent her yesterday from the drawer of the tea table in the living room, unfolded the letter and handed it to her. little daughter.

"Hey, it's actually true...?"

Seeing the elegant handwriting that made her extremely affectionate, Natalie mumbled something under her breath, and then gratefully handed the letter in her hand back to her mother.

"Now, you can rest assured."

"Ok!"

Seeing that her daughter was no longer sad, Mrs. Arinor couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, put on her gloves again, and returned to the kitchen to continue preparing lunch.

Looking at her mother who was preparing lunch again, Natalie also found a new thing to do and began to speculate on the person who might become her teacher...

She knows someone who is very kind and easy to get along with?
  Could it be Master Haitang?
  The first thing that came to Natalie's mind was the flaxen-haired young man who was dressed in white, his whole body was clean and tidy, and he always had a kind and approachable attitude towards people and things. But when he thought of her two days ago, When the sage who treated her well was almost injured trying to protect her, Natalie shook her head guiltily and rejected this candidate.

Moreover, in the past month, Master Haitang has helped Teacher Alina take care of her many times. Teacher Alina should not trouble Master Haitang anymore.

So, will it be Lord Malkui?

Following the second candidate that came to mind, Natalie quickly recalled that before she and her mother moved to Randall, when she and her teacher were playing in the Soil South District, that person was like a real big brother. , the sage assistant who unconditionally gave her and the teacher a lot of help, Natalie couldn't help but express her heartfelt thanks to the gentle elder brother who also gave her many gifts.

Speaking of gifts, could Lady Snow Lotus, who runs the magic workshop, be a strong candidate as a substitute teacher?

Listing out the candidates who might become her afternoon teacher one by one, Natalie felt less sad after finding something to do. While recalling those precious memory fragments for her one by one, she stretched out her fingers to draw different shapes on the table, half expecting and half nervously waiting for her mother's lunch and the arrival of the mysterious substitute teacher. .

Time slowly passed into the afternoon as she recalled it like this, even though her mother told her that the substitute teacher was the same teacher she had met before, just like Teacher Alina. But as the time approached, Natalie was still unable to resist the growing tension in her heart. She hurriedly finished her meal and slipped back to her room upstairs at home.

Please, I hope the teacher can come later, and I hope Teacher Alina can come back early to teach her...

Natalie, who returned to the room, lay on the table and prayed meaninglessly, anxiously observing the real-time situation on the street outside the window through the window in front of the desk.

Just when she was looking at the scenery outside the window so intently, a breeze carrying the gentle ocean scent suddenly poured into the room from the open window, blowing up the fine hair she had let down, and subtly dispersing it. The uneasiness that had permeated her heart for a long time made her narrow her eyes in comfort.

So after feeling relaxed, Natalie also got rid of her previous restraint, slowly opened her eyes, stood up, stuck her head out of the window, and stared at the deserted street in front of her.

Maybe there won't be any substitute teachers at all?
  Natalie was making guesses like this, but when she was about to look away, she was pulled back by a familiar white color. Looking in the direction in which the white figure was approaching, she saw that the owner of the white figure was wearing a warm smile that she was all too familiar with, and waved to her politely.

"Master Haitang?!"

Natalie murmured something uncertain, then quickly withdrew her impolite gaze before the other party could make a clear statement, quickly closed the window, and sat upright...

　Let’s update it first, and if I find any problems tomorrow, I’ll fix it!
