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

Something was strange about the potion garden today.

Many senior magicians and teaching staff hurried in and out. In addition, there were many authoritative outsiders. They all appeared in the potion garden, and no one knew what was going on.

Thanks to a future senior, Ivy's first reaction was: Is Pukuria dead?

……

When she ran breathlessly into the central courtyard of the potion garden, Pukulia was fiddling with two pots of flowers on the table.

Under the catalysis of magic, the pitch-black plant has basically grown. It has dense needle-shaped leaves that spread out in all directions like a rosette. There is a thick flower stalk in the center, and the flower bud is at the top, which is already in a bud state about to bloom.

"What's wrong? You look like you're going to a funeral." Pukulia put down the scissors, walked to the door and picked her up.

Pukulia walked into the courtyard, staggered, then frowned and asked: "Have you grown taller?"

"Is it strange that I'm taller?" Ivy stared at Pukulia.

Isn't this still alive and well?

"It's not strange, it's me who's strange."

"What happened in the potion garden? There are a lot of people outside." Ivy asked.

Her intuition told her that this would be a very important matter.

"What happened has nothing to do with you, you're just a student."

"Is it a secret?" Ivy asked doubtfully.

"It's more confidential than a secret. Even if the sky falls, we have to deal with the potion garden first."

Pukuriya's words were exaggerated, but she didn't sound like she was joking.

“Since it’s so confidential, then you don’t know what happened?” Ivy wilted.

Pukuria smiled: "I know, I have a very high rank."

Ivy's eyes lit up, she grabbed Pukulia's clothes and begged, "Tell me."

"Why would I tell you? Did you leak confidential information to students? Do you want me to lose my job?"

"I won't tell anyone."

"That's not OK."

"I beg you."

"No."

"I beg you."

"No."

"I'll trade you my secrets."

"I'm not interested in your secrets."

“…” Ivy stared at Pukulia, his emotions surging inside.

"It's not okay to get angry."

“What do you want?” Ivy stopped pretending. She just put on a cold face and no longer put on a pitiful expression.

There’s no way to fool Pukuria anyway.

Since she didn't lie and say she didn't know, it meant there was still room for negotiation.

Pukulia put Ivy down.

"If you want to know, just shut up and follow me." Then she left the courtyard.

Seeing this, Ivy hurriedly followed.

She thought that Pukuria would take her to a place like the crime scene, but she didn't expect that they turned left and right in the potion garden and actually came to the residence that Pukuria had placed in the potion garden.

There are many barriers around the residence, and poisonous plants are planted everywhere, so no outsiders can get close.

They entered the house.

The room was in a mess. Except for the bed which was slightly clean, everywhere else was full of debris, leaving no place to step.

Although Pukuria still has a formal residence in the faculty apartment building, it now seems that she prefers living in the doghouse here.

Ivy was wondering what Pukulia was going to do when she saw her take out several dresses from the closet.

The size is perfect for children.

"??"

Ivy was confused.

"Try them all on. I want to see which one looks best."

"That secret..."

"I'll tell you after I wear them all."

Ivy would naturally not refuse such an easy request.

She began to try on each piece of clothing in turn, professionally posing in small movements for Pukuria to see.

The clothes are mostly fitted, just a little loose.

After trying them on, Ivy silently folded them neatly and piled them together.

"Is there anything you like?" Pukulia asked, standing behind her.

Ivy paused in folding clothes.

Without looking back, she just shook her head at the clothes: "No."

Anyway, these were not prepared for her, but for someone... perhaps someone of similar age and body shape to her.

Looking at Ivy's dejected back, Pukulia did not expose her little emotion: "Is that so? I think I have a lot of clothes, and it doesn't matter if I give you one. Since you don't want it... Let's listen to the secrets of the magic potion garden."

Ivy then turned around.

Pukulia sat on the bed and began to narrate: "There is a forbidden area in the potion garden. The entrance has been specially treated so that ordinary people cannot see or enter it."

"Normally there will be a dedicated person who goes in to check once a week."

"What's in it?" Evie asked.

She studies in the potion garden almost every day, and she has never heard of the existence of this forbidden area. It seems that it is really confidential.

Pukulia looked at her and replied calmly: "There is only one plant growing in it, called the flower of time."

"!" Ivy's pupils shrank.

Before she could hear what was coming next, her heart started pounding.

The flower of time?

time?

Ignoring her reaction, Pukulia continued, "The Flower of Time normally looks like a blade of grass... To be precise, this is its normal appearance. We just need to go in and confirm that it is still a blade of grass, and then we can come out. The inspection is that simple."

"It has been like a blade of grass for decades."

“Today, it bloomed.”

"The flower it blooms is called 'Two-week Flower', or 'Multi-week Flower', but those troublesome people prefer to call it Two-week Flower."

"Since it has bloomed, it means that the time of this world has been reset and a time traveler has appeared."

"But don't be fooled by the large number of big names who gathered around. They just heard that a very rare flower had bloomed and came to see it. Only a small number of people knew the meaning of the flower."

Pukuria seemed to be reassuring her.

But Evie was in no mood to pay attention to this detail. She was confused: "Why is it blooming now?"

"It's just that the growth period is a bit long. From the moment time is reset to the moment the flower blooms, it takes about ten months. So they speculated that the time traveler came to this world during the summer moon last year."

The timing is just right...

It was around that time that she first awakened to time magic.

So, this flower really bloomed for her...

Ivy's heart was in turmoil.

She couldn't imagine what kind of impact this flower would have.

Those who know the secret of the Sage's Heart, those who are related to the Toki family, or the top leaders of the organization they belong to who are trying to steal the Sage's Heart...

They will all realize that someone has used the magic of the Sage's Heart to turn the world back to a certain starting point.
