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

On this day, Ivy saw Ye Jiyan at the junior high school campus.

He transformed into an ordinary little boy in junior high school and chatted with his classmates.

It seems that there is no sense of contradiction.

Ivy rubbed her eyes, almost thinking she had seen it wrong.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that the boy was staring at her intently, with a handsome smile on his face.

He waved to his classmates and turned away.

Ivy was acutely aware of the signal his wrist movement represented.

"Come on."

Why use this method?

Although Ivy was confused, she still followed him silently from a distance, as if it was a coincidence that they were on the same route.

They finally arrived at the building of the activity campus. The little boy ran upstairs. Ivy stopped and thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the club activity room.

She felt the magical fluctuations of another familiar person.

……

When I opened the door, Wan Yexi was pulling the curtains tight and checking the layout of the room.

Ye Jiyan in his normal form was already sitting on a chair in the corner. When he saw her come in, he smiled again.

But Chu Yu was not there.

After Ivy found a seat and sat down, he asked softly, “Sister, what’s wrong?”

Wan Ye Xilai sat down next to her, seeming a little worried about the surrounding environment.

“There’s no one nearby, and nothing either.” Ivy had already spread his magic power and double-checked the surroundings.

"it is good."

Wan Ye Xi finally got to the point.

"In fact, we recently found that the first rain was a little strange."

Sure enough, it is related to the first rain.

Evie tilted her head.

"To be precise, it's not her, but her shadow clone."

"One night, I vaguely saw a strange black shadow lingering outside the dormitory window. When I opened the window to check, it had disappeared."

A strange black shadow?

Wan Yexi continued, "I kept an eye on this incident for the next few days, and then it appeared again the night before yesterday. I immediately opened the window and chased after it... The silhouette of the black shadow looked like Chu Yu. My magic missed the target, and it finally escaped."

It’s not so much that she missed the target, but rather that her attack was not decisive enough due to hesitation.

"So you think that's Hatsuyu's shadow clone?"

Wan Ye Xi gave a bitter smile: "You know I'm not good at sensing magic, and the similar outlines don't mean anything. I asked Chu Yu yesterday and asked her if she went out at night recently... She said no."

"..."

"Mr. Ye, you tell me the rest."

Evie turned her head away.

"I also saw it a few nights ago." Ye Jiyan stated what he saw objectively, "It hid outside the window, trying to eavesdrop on what I was saying."

"Its source of magic is indeed very similar to the first rain. I pretended to continue chatting, but actually sneaked outside and saw it."

"It had the appearance of Chu Yu. It eavesdropped for a while and then sneaked away. I followed it for a distance and lost it. All I know is... it was heading towards the girls' dormitory building."

The two people's statements were very similar, perhaps they saw the same black shadow.

And it sounds like this really seems to be related to the first rain.

……

“It looks like Chu Yu’s shadow clone is secretly eavesdropping on you?” Ivy couldn’t understand why she would do this if it was Chu Yu.

"Weiwei, you probably haven't seen it yet."

Evie shook her head.

"If it gets within a certain distance of me, I'll feel it immediately."

Wan Yexi hesitated, but she finally said: "Your magical perception is very strong, and Chu Yu also knows this... She will never eavesdrop on you easily."

Ivy could tell that Wan Yexi didn't want to doubt Chu Yu.

"But, even if she eavesdropped on you, would she really reveal such a big flaw?"

Wan Yexi shook her head: "With Chu Yu's level, it is really strange that she would not leave such a big trace when doing things."

"I hope this matter has nothing to do with Chu Yu, but... don't tell her for now. Let's investigate it ourselves first."

Evie nodded.

“Whether it’s related to her or not, there’s no need to alert her before we investigate thoroughly.” Ye Jiyan said.

……

……

On the way back, Ivy was still thinking about it.

There is no doubt that something unexpected has occurred, and the shadow suspected to be Chu Yu is doing something sneaky.

But does that really have anything to do with the first rain?

Why would she do this?

Obviously, there were almost no secrets between them, so there was no need to eavesdrop on them.

So that black shadow is not Chu Yu’s?

Just transforming into the outline of the first rain to confuse them?

Ivy preferred this possibility.

But conjecture cannot be regarded as fact, and this matter still needs to be investigated clearly.

……

……

The atmosphere during the preparation period for the school anniversary was always lively. Almost everyone participated in the preparations for the festival and every day was very busy.

Their societies are no exception.

Tokieda Yume is like an expert, and no one knows when she learned the technique of making fireworks, but the experimental aerial fireworks she made are surprisingly effective when they bloom at night.

She taught them everything she knew, and taught each of them how to make aerial fireworks. For several days in a row, they were busy in the after-school club studying the order of placing different mineral powders.

While they were busy, several people did not forget the important thing. They secretly paid attention to Chu Yu's every move to confirm whether she had any abnormal behavior.

But unfortunately, there was nothing strange about Chu Yu's behavior.

Since Ivy was in the junior high school, it was naturally not as convenient for him to investigate as they were, so they came up with a feasible solution -

Once they saw the shadow appear, they would place their own homemade marking magic to notify Ivy who was far away in the junior high school so that she could rush over in time.

Perhaps the shadow had realized that it had been spotted, and had not reappeared for several days. Wan Yexi and Ye Jiyan took turns staying up all night, trying to catch its trace again, but both came up empty-handed.

But... the owner of the black shadow will not remain silent.

Then, late one night after an unknown number of days, Ivy suddenly woke up.

The marking magic she had set in the room suddenly took effect.

A magical fluctuation indicating magic appeared in the direction of the high school!

It appeared...!

Ivy rolled out of bed, rapidly spreading her magic power while rushing towards the high school as fast as she could.

When they were near the high school, Ivy slipped through the hole in the wall without being noticed by the guard.

Although her movement speed was limited, the range of her spreading magic power reached the apartment building where the black shadow was before her.

"...?"

The moment the magic perception range just covered the black shadow, Ivy paused.

Really...it seems.

It's more than just 'like'.

This is clearly... the first rain?
