Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

The magic of the Sage's Heart shimmers.

Ivy could feel her connection with magic, as if as long as she had a thought, the door to the third world would open for her immediately.

People who have died or are not yet dead will appear in the world as usual and live their lives as usual.

She silently remembered the cold touch in her hand, and then... handed the butterfly magic weapon in her hand to Teacher Krillin.

"Is this the Sage's Heart?" Teacher Klin was obviously seeing this thing for the first time. He held it in his hand and looked at it, unable to hide his surprise on his face.

“Do you need me to demonstrate it to you?” Ivy told a joke expressionlessly.

"Haha, no need." Teacher Klin looked at it for a while, then carefully placed the Sage's Heart in a special box that had been prepared long ago, and also pasted a few prohibitions on it.

He handled it so carefully and tenderly, which was totally inconsistent with his usual elegant manners and looked a little funny at this moment.

"Where to send it?" she asked.

"That's not something you should know."

After the placement was completed, Teacher Klin finally showed a satisfied smile: "You did a great job. I didn't expect that you would complete the task so quickly. If I had known it could be so fast... I should have forced you earlier."

He also told a bad joke.

Ivy remained unmoved, and even raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Although he didn't see the frustrated expression, Mr. Klin felt a little bored, so he continued to the main topic: "I will keep my promise. From now on, you are free."

"I have already erased all traces of your actions and ensured that the academy will not suspect you. You can continue to act like a student and live in the academy without worry. If you want to leave, I will also help you prepare the withdrawal procedures. Your future actions and whereabouts have nothing to do with us, and we will not interfere anymore."

After saying this, Teacher Klin added kindly: "However, if you encounter difficulties and need help in the future, you can also come to me. You are all my beloved children, and I will not sit idly by."

“Thank you.” Ivy thanked him politely. “As long as you keep your promise and don’t cause us any trouble, that’ll be fine.”

"It seems like you have a very bad impression of me. Do I look like someone who would do such a thing?"

Teacher Klin smiled and pushed out two boxes that he had prepared long ago.

"Inside is a year's supply of antidote and the antidote formula. It's useless to me. Take it all."

"The other one contains some precious materials that can be used for strengthening and repairing or forging new weapons. I'll give it to you."

"Thank you." Ivy did not refuse. She took the gift from Teacher Klin and held the two boxes in her arms.

Teacher Klin stood in front of her, his eyes kind and friendly.

"Thank you for your hard work." He placed his hand on Ivy's head and rubbed it gently. "Go and enjoy your last bit of freedom."

Ivy did not dodge. She also looked up at this disgusting face and silently calculated the time of her death.

"You too."

……

……

"Next, we just need to wait." Shi Zhimeng synchronized the news from the family to them, "The academy has discovered that the Sage's Heart has been stolen, but the news is well blocked. The head of the family is being investigated by the academy. I believe they will soon reach an agreement and work together to track down the whereabouts of the Sage's Heart."

The Sage's Heart cannot be activated by outsiders. It is equivalent to a piece of scrap metal in anyone's hands. The main family does not have to consider the risk of restarting time. Once they trace its last trace and lock on the suspicion of the branch family, they can, together with the power of the academy, destroy those who covet time.

It would be the best thing to borrow the help of outsiders to help them remove the obstacles.

"Then it's about Ran Yin..."

Tokieda Yume had a distressed expression.

"We asked someone to check, but found no trace of him. Considering that he once secretly ran an orphanage, he may be using another fake identity and name now... Maybe Ran Yin is also a fake name. Do you have any other information you can provide?"

The others also had bewildered expressions.

"We actually don't know the dean very well. In the past, we had most contact with teachers who taught combat and magic, but we don't even know their names." Wan Ye Xi said apologetically.

But it's not her fault. In the past, they were not allowed to think about such unnecessary things. To them, the small world of the orphanage was almost their entire world.

Ivy also nodded silently.

The name Ran Yin was even said by the gardener. Considering Ibiru's rank, she was sent by Teacher Klin to seek death. Even if she heard a fake name, it was completely understandable.

At least for Ivy, the longest time he had been in contact with the dean was probably the time when he customized exclusive weapons for everyone.

There was a long silence between them.

Tokieda Meng sighed and planned to move on to the next topic.

At this time, Ye Jiyan, who was sitting in the corner, spoke quietly: "There is someone here who knows more than us."

He seldom spoke on his own initiative, so everyone looked at him involuntarily.

"Really?" Ye Jiyan asked back, and the person he looked at was Chu Yu.

"..."

Chu Yu pursed her lips. Even though she usually spoke very little, she was definitely not someone who would deliberately conceal information.

At this moment, she remained silent, which was unusual for her.

"Is that so? Chu Yu." Wan Ye Xi asked calmly.

If Chu Yu really didn't want to say it, they wouldn't force her to tell, but they at least wanted to know the reason why she was hiding it.

"..."

Everyone waited for her answer.

“…Yes.” After a long silence, Chu Yu finally spoke, “Perhaps, I do know more than you.”

Under the gaze of several people, Chu Yu hovered his hand above the table, and a small shadow suddenly appeared on the table.

She reached into the shadow with her other hand and... pulled something out.

It was a small lock, not even as big as the palm of your hand. The lock body was made of a special orchid-colored metal, and the lock core was engraved with runes. The inside rotated like a nebula, emitting a faint halo.

The halo was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, beating like the rhythm of a heart, causing the entire lock to flash with light.

"Wow! What an exquisite magic weapon. Can I touch it?" Shi Zhimeng immediately sat over with interest and couldn't help but come closer to take a closer look.

"Ah."

After getting permission, Shizhi Meng immediately placed it carefully in her hand and observed it with curiosity.

Wan Yexi, who was standing by, asked the most crucial question for them: "What is this?"

"…It was given to me by the dean. As long as this light is still there, it means he is still alive." Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and continued, "You may be able to find the dean's whereabouts through this."
