Chapter 15 - 15. Lost Thing

Alby and Jason saw Yuri who was looking for something in his room until he checked several times the trash can in front of his dorm room.

"What are you looking for, Yuri? Did you lose something?" asked Jason whose room was across from Yuri's room while Alby whose room was next to Yuri's looked at the boy with a surprised face.

"My magic uniform for tomorrow isn't there and not only is that missing but something more important is missing without a trace from my room," Yuri said in frustration. He even remembers well that he put the diary that he had been keeping in his bag for so long. However, now the book had disappeared along with his uniform which had disappeared. The commotion made Professor Pilius who was going to check the rooms one by one feel curious about something that happened to Yuri.

"What are you looking for, Yuri? I see you are too busy checking the trash can in front of your room," said Professor Pilius who was in front of Yuri.

"My magic uniform and a very important book to me are missing, Professor. I can't go to class with my dirty uniform and my lost important book. I'll look for it more carefully," said Yuri, who felt very sad that the diary that he had kept since a year ago just disappeared.

Professor Pilius looked at room number thirteen, he felt suspicious that Lolita was the mastermind behind the disappearance of Yuri's uniform and the important book Yuri was referring to.

"Look carefully, for Lolita please come with me to the principal's office," said Professor Pilius firmly making Lolita feel nervous and wanted to cry because she felt guilty and lost Yuri's belongings even though no one knew about it until now. Lolita nodded and followed Professor Pilius from behind, Jason saw the girl who looked scared and made him feel suspicious.

"Aren't you suspicious of that little girl? I feel that Lolita stole Yuri's stuff since she's the only one here, we're all in class today. It's impossible for any of us to steal," said Jason, who was suspicious of Lolita. Hearing this made Yuri stop his activities, then looked at Jason in disbelief. How could he forget Lolita who was serving a sentence and was not allowed to enter the classroom?

"I forgot the little girl, she must have stolen it because she hates me so much," Yuri said with an emotional face making Alby shake his head slowly and rub Yuri's back.

"We can't accuse anyone either, maybe you forgot where you put those things," said Alby who didn't want Yuri to get angry with Lolita even though deep down he knew for sure that Lolita had done this. However, Alby didn't want this hostel to be noisy and provoke the emotions of everyone in the hostel.

"Who else is outside the classroom besides Lolita, Alby? Everyone knew that only Lolita was punished and was not allowed to enter the classroom because of her own actions. How can you say you can't accuse anyone?" Jason asked in a disapproving tone that made Alby roll his eyes lazily. He was not happy with Jason who often instigated other people to heat up.

"Yes, but there is no evidence that he took the things. At least you have to prove it so we can call him a thief and give him punishment," said Alby firmly making Jason silent because it was true what Alby said that he didn't find any evidence of this. On the other hand, Lolita who was in the principal's office looked down and did not dare to look at Professor Pilius' face because she felt guilty and also felt nervous.

"What have you done with Yuri's missing things? I know that you lost the thing," said Professor Pilius looking at Lolita with a sharp gaze. Now Professor Pilius understands why Lolita is here and can't get into the magic class because that kid is so naughty.

"I didn't steal it, Professor. You can look in my room if you don't believe my words," Lolita said firmly and she insisted that she wasn't the one who stole the things Yuri was looking for.

"Then, you want to say that Yuri forgot to put that thing somewhere else? I've already told you that my wand can detect a person's ugliness and it tells you that you're not being honest." Professor Pilius showed his wand which kept pointing at Lolita making the girl feel intimidated.

Lolita didn't answer anything because she was still very afraid that everyone would scold her.

"Lolita, I am talking to you. Look at me and tell me what your defense is emphatically because if you cover it up let alone deny it then you shouldn't be here anymore. You shouldn't be here anymore because if punishment can't make you aware, then dropping out is something that can make you realize your mistake," said Professor Pilius firmly. Hearing this, Lolita immediately knelt at Professor Pilius's feet. Lolita couldn't just let Hankey Pankey go, she had to graduate from that school if she wanted her family to accept her again.

"No, don't get me out of Hankey Pankey! I admit my mistake for stealing the two things Yuri was looking for. I was envious of him because he got perfect grades in class and I really had no idea that Yuri's diary was so important to him. I didn't read it, but I threw it at the window in my room and changed the view," said Lolita admitting her cruel act to Professor Pilius.

"Y—You threw it into a black hole? Those things will definitely never be found again because room number thirteen is where the black hole is, it's a dumping ground for garbage that we don't want to see again. How can you be that careless, Lolita? How can you explain this to them? It is certain that Yuri will lose his temper because the uniforms at Hankey Pankey are only two per person," said Professor Pilius with a deep breath. Magic can do anything, but it still can't bring back what was thrown into the black hole in room number thirteen.

"Then what should I do?" asked Lolita with a confused and frightened face.

"Confess to Yuri and let Yuri move to room number thirteen and give up your two valuables for Yuri to throw into that black hole instead," said Professor Pilius seriously.
