After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

"Alice."

Seeing that Alice didn't even raise her head, just reading the book silently, Ryan spoke softly.

After thinking about many things, Ryan felt much calmer when he saw Alice again.

Hearing the sound, Alice raised her head and said, "Are you here?"

"It's obviously you who brought me in, so don't act like I'm here to find you every time."

Ryan smiled and sat down on the chair opposite Alice's bed, and then said:

"The parasites in the eternal branches have been eliminated."

"Really? Thank you for your hard work."

Alice's tone was very calm, perhaps because she was not surprised that Ryan was able to eliminate the parasite, or perhaps because in her heart, the elf settlement really had nothing to do with her anymore.

Ryan randomly took out a book from the bookshelf, flipped through it and asked:

"Is there anything else you can do to bring me in this time?"

Hearing this, Alice glanced at Ryan, and then said calmly: "No, I just asked you about the eternal branch."

"..."

After saying this, the library fell into silence for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Alice took the initiative and said, "Don't you have anything to say?"

"What do you want to say?"

Ryan was confused.

Alice opened her mouth, as if she was about to say something, but she swallowed it back.

After a moment, Alice said: "You helped me solve the eternal branch matter, you can ask me for some rewards... or something."

"no need."

Ryan shook his head and said: "Compared with your kindness in teaching me magic, these are nothing at all."

Alice couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Ryan say this.

"...Okay, then I have nothing else to do. You can go back."

After being stunned for a while, Alice seemed to take a deep breath, and then spoke in a calm tone.

This time, Alice did not send Ryan off in person.

After closing the book, Ryan stuffed the book back on the bookshelf, nodded to Alice, and returned along the original path.

After a while, Alice sensed that Ryan had left the library, and her originally dull expression immediately became extremely angry:

"What! You're so distant all of a sudden! And we haven't seen each other for such a long time, and you don't even want to say anything to me!"

Throwing the book in her hand to the ground, Alice, who was still upset, raised her little foot and kicked the bookshelf next to her. As a result, she kicked her toe, which made Alice burst into tears in pain.

After relaxing for a while, Alice curled up on the bed and began to sulk.

She could guess that Ryan would not accept her reward, but she never thought that Ryan would say the word "favor".

Although her teaching Ryan magic can be called kindness, once these two words were spoken from Ryan's mouth, Alice felt as if Ryan was deliberately alienating herself.

It was precisely because of this that Alice was stunned for a long time.

After sulking, Alice calmed down a little and began to think of other things.

He suddenly distanced himself from me. Was he angry with me?

After all, last time I suddenly brought him in, assigned him a task, and then kicked him out. If it were him, he would definitely be angry, right?

But... who made that guy make me angry as soon as we met!

But...what if he keeps alienating me like this? Do you want to apologize to him?

No! It is absolutely impossible to apologize! I've helped him so much, isn't it natural for me to ask him to help me with things?

Absolutely no apology!

Big... big deal, next time you bring him in, just make it clear!

After rolling on the bed two times in frustration, Alice lay on the bed tiredly, turned her eyes and looked at a flower pot on the bedside table.

In the flowerpot, it was the seeds of Sayelan that Ryan gave her last time, and they had been planted by Alice.

Looking at the buds that had grown in the flowerpot, Alice couldn't help but feel a little lost.

? ? ? ?

The next morning, after Ryan finished washing, he was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Ryan, who thought it was Ivy or Windsor, stepped forward to open the door. When he saw the tall figure behind the door, Ryan subconsciously took a step back.

"Mr. Ryan, hehehe..."

Seeing it was Fanny standing at the door, with an indescribable flush on her face:

"Grandpa Harold asked me...let me learn elf swordsmanship from you, hey hey hey...please, please give me some advice, Mr. Lane, suck-"

Ryan: "..."

How should I put it, although he was frightened by Fanny for a moment, Ryan was not too surprised that the person who learned swordsmanship from him was Fanny.

Thinking of the scene when Fanny was fighting against the insect swarm yesterday, she took the elf bow and knocked away the flying insects. It is estimated that in the entire elf community, Fanny should be the most suitable elf to learn elf swordsmanship.

After calming down, Ryan smiled lightly at Fanny and said, "Have you eaten in the morning?"

"Not yet... not yet, but it won't affect my sword practice! Hehehehe..."

Fanny rubbed her belly a little shyly (although she didn't look shy at all from her appearance), and then looked directly at Ryan, with a ferocious expression on her face as if she was preparing to kill someone.

Ryan couldn't help but raise his head and wipe the sweat from his forehead: "No, I mean, I am preparing to make breakfast. You can eat it too. After breakfast, I will teach you how to practice elf swordsmanship."

"Oh, okay...ok!"

Hearing what Ryan said, Fanny's eyes seemed to light up and she was extremely excited:

"Mr. Lane...Mr. Lane made breakfast, hey...hehehe...hehehehe..."

After welcoming Fanny into the house, Ryan went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Fanny sat obediently in the living room, clasping her fingers nervously.

To be honest, Fanny is still very beautiful in her normal state.

Once out of the normal state, Fanny seems to have turned into a monster, very scary...

After Ryan prepared breakfast, he also finished blow-drying the hair of several little girls who had washed up. When everyone sat down at the dining table, the breakfast officially started.

To Ryan's expectation, Fanny did not stick out her tongue and lick the plate to eat as Ryan thought, but ate in extremely dignified bites. From the side, she looked like a completely elegant beauty.

However, before taking two bites, Fanny's face suddenly flushed: "Ah... Mr. Lane's breakfast is so delicious, so happy..."

Well, the beauty is broken.

Ninelli and others had also seen Fanny go crazy, so they didn't show any weird emotions.

The only thing that puzzles them is why has this Fanny been like this since she first met Ryan? Was it really love at first sight?
