I was expelled from the team and was recruited by the demons?

"Hello, Mistress Christine."

When she saw Christine, Chizuru just nodded slightly, and did not show too many mood swings.

And Christine saw the other party's reaction, and she also reacted at once.

She knew very well that Chizuru had never liked to deal with people, and if her identity as her teacher was exposed, she was afraid that it would cause quite a stir in this huge king.

"Hello."

Christine took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and then lowered her voice and whispered

, "You can contact me directly with teleportation magic if you have something,

there is no need to make a special trip."

In fact, Christine also has her own little selfishness when she says this, at least when she gets along with Chizuru, she still hopes that the two are just a simple teacher-student relationship.

"I've sent you contact magic, and you haven't heard anything."

Chizuru said lightly.

"Ahh Enchantment.

Christine looked up at the crystal lamp dangling overhead, surrounded by self-propelled magic runes.

The runes created a dome-like barrier that enveloped the entire branch of the Knights, and the purpose of this thing was to prevent the leakage of military secrets, but she had forgotten about it.

"You come here, what's... Do you need it?

Christine stepped forward and looked at Chizuru cautiously and said.

She always felt... The teacher's face didn't seem right.

Although Chizuru usually has a cold face, it seems to be extraordinary...

It's cold.

It's as if you can't agree with each other and will pull out a knife and cut someone at any time...

"I'll pick up Eli. Klevin, he's in your Order right now.

Chizuru's words went straight to the point, after all, she didn't really like this kind of crowded occasion in the first place, and just being here already made her a little uncomfortable.

"Eli—"

Christine opened her mouth slightly, but her eyes unconsciously glanced towards the interrogation room behind her.

At this time, her heart had already set off turbulent waves.

Because...... She had never seen Sakuraba Chizuru actively seek out anyone, even in the years she had been a student, Chizuru had never actively sought out Christine.

Even if Christine is trapped in a labyrinth, Chizuru will never appear in front of her eyes until the moment of life and death.

That's why when the army returned before, she was so excited when she received the news of Chizuru.

And what shocked Christine the most now was not Chizuru's fluttering words.

Instead, she suddenly remembered that Chizuru had mentioned to her just last night that she had someone she cared about very much.

Could that person be...

Eli. Klevin?

Thinking of this, Christine instantly gasped.

She knew Sakuraba Chizuru's temper, and if she really knew that Eli was now locked up by them, she was afraid that the entire knights would suffer a catastrophe.

Before she knew it, Christine's back was already soaked in cold sweat.

"Uh-huh—"

Emma looked at Christine, who was afraid to speak, then turned her head to look at the interrogation room behind her, and quickly understood what was happening.

"Christine... My lord.

Emma smiled and stood up, reluctantly giving Christine an honorific title.

"Hello."

Christine was worried and didn't know what to do, when Emma came out to play the round, which could be regarded as a temporary relief for her.

"We can wait, I think... You and Mr. Eli should have something to talk about.

"But I think there are some things that can be done right now, you say?"

Emma said this with a smile, but for some reason, Christine always felt that the smile of the woman in front of her seemed to be more terrifying than the indifferent Chizuru.

"Well, that's what we mean, you two, please wait a moment."

With Emma's hint, Christine also turned around and walked in the direction of the interrogation room without hesitation.

"Did you find anything?"

Chizuru frowned, of course she could hear that what Emma said just now was not that simple.

On the surface, the words may seem like a reminder, but with a little digging you can detect the threat in them.

"Hehe... Who knows.

Emma sat back down with a smile on her face, then slowly crossed her legs and began to hum a ballad with a light rhythm.

............

"Mr. Eli."

Just as Eli was fiddling with the teacup on the table out of boredom, Christine's voice rang out at the right time.

"Why, are you still going to lock me up here?"

Eli narrowed his eyes and asked faintly.

"Of course not, our Knights will not put innocent people under house arrest, if you are convenient to pack up and leave, your companion has already come to pick you up."

Just when Eli wondered why the other party's attitude had changed drastically, Christine's last sentence also directly told him the answer.

Good fellow, those two dangerous people are coming for him, aren't they?

Wait a minute...... They probably didn't tear it down.

Eli's heart jumped, thinking about Emma's usual appearance of fearing that the world would not be chaotic, maybe there was really such a possibility.

"This, if you need it, you can take it with you."

Christine tossed something in her hand, and Eli reached out to take it, only to realize that it was the crystal necklace that caused the oolong incident.

“...... Thank you.

Eli looked at the necklace in his hand and was silent for a long time, and finally only waved to Christine helplessly.

This...... It can be regarded as the return of the goods to their original owners.

But now, he really doesn't want this thing very much, just looking at it is enough to annoy him.

After a moment's hesitation, Eli slipped the necklace into her pocket, and then followed Christine to the chamber.

And when Chizuru saw Eli, the original cold expression on her face eased a lot.

“...... Teacher, the way you look now, I really don't know what to say.

Christine looked at Chizuru's beautiful face and said in her heart.

"Young master, you look like you've been beaten."

Emma swayed slowly, pretending to come forward.

There was a slight smile on her face, obviously thinking of something.

"Where? Let me see!

Hearing this, Chizuru's face changed dramatically in an instant, and she hurriedly cupped Eli's cheeks with both hands, and carefully inquired about Eli's physical condition with the help of the effect of perceiving the enchantment.

She was not the only one whose face had changed drastically, and Christine was also frightened.

You can't talk nonsense! We didn't do anything!

“...... Clang! "

It hurts, it hurts... Young master, you are really heavy! How can there be such a knock on a girl's head!

Eli's knife struck Emma's head with unmistakable precision, and the pained latter clutched the Celestial Spirit Cover and let out a grumbling wail.

At this time, Chizuru also reacted that she was placed by Emma, and suddenly her face flushed and she let go of her hands and stood aside.

"What is this, weird and beautiful."

Emma turned to the side slightly, only to notice that Eli's pocket seemed to have a purple light that was not obvious.

"The gadgets I used to make."

Eli took out the necklace and felt the weight in his hand, and Eli couldn't help but sigh softly.

At the beginning, when he was at Morningstar, he really hoped that he could meet a group of like-minded friends and embark on the purest adventures in this world as he did in the game.

But now those thoughts no longer exist.

"Hey, isn't that evidence? If you release someone, you release someone, how can you hand that thing over?

Byrons, who was standing next to Christine, immediately lowered his body and asked as soon as he saw the necklace.

It's not that he can't accept the release, after all, Christine is the one who is involved in this incident.

Even if she doesn't pursue it, he, a bystander, will definitely not hold on to it anymore.

"I made a mistake, that thing wasn't left by the thief, I bought it from the black market before, and now it looks like an eyesore, so I'll just give it away."

Christine said with a blank face.

"You? Buying jewelry? You don't have a fever, do you? Ouch...... Tap.

Byron knew what kind of virtue his sister had, and when he heard this, his face was full of shock.

As a result, before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Christine on the side.

"Shut up, brother, you have a little eyesight, don't ask about this anymore, it's good for you and me."

"Squeak-"

But just then, the door to the council chamber was pushed open again.

Eli looked up, and when he saw the faces of those people, there was a strange light in his eyes.

Because it was Cynthia and several members of Morningstar who pushed open the door and walked up.

The way they look looks seems to come and see what's going on.

And the moment Cynthia pushed the door in, she also noticed Eli standing there for the first time.

To be precise, he noticed the necklace Eli was holding.

Looking at that thing, Cynthia's heart suddenly shuddered.

Finally...... What happened?
