August 4th, 2 p.m

"Do you want to go to the opera" In the morning, as soon as the internal commission of the academy was over, Lévy came over with two tickets

“？” Chong looked at Levi with an indescribable look

"Are you thinking about something more" Levy, who has had the experience of being mistaken for a, said helplessly, "It's just that there are two more tickets, and I called Ling over too"

"Casually" remembered the signed photo the day before yesterday, which should not be a coincidence

Half an hour later

"Ling, we're going to the opera, not the movies," despite saying that, Levi kindly bought Ling a big bag of popcorn and a big glass of Coke

"Levi~Ling can't stay in the opera house for too long if you don't have these~" Ling coquettishly held Levi's right hand and dangled it, the two of them were already very close, saying that the father and daughter looked down on them a little too much, although it was not clear what the past of the two of them was, but it could be seen from the eyes that the memory was definitely not very friendly

"Heh, whatever you want" Lévi touched Ling's little head dotingly, and Ling rubbed it even happier

Chong silently pulled a ticket out of Levi's jacket pocket, and then stepped into the arena first

"Levi-kun~" Levi, who was unconsciously laughing with Ling at the door of the theater, suddenly instinctively felt a murderous aura

Two loud bangs rang out at the same time, Levy's fist sank deep into his abdomen, and Ling kicked the incoming man in the knee

The blond man shook on the spot a few times before falling to the ground

"You guys!" The purple-clothed guard standing next to him immediately drew his sword angrily, "Do you know who he is!" ”

"Mu, Mula, it's okay, I'm very good friends with them, you can't forget it" The man still quickly stood up after being hit hard, "It's the one who helped us in that place"

"I have some impressions of this girl," the personal guard named Mura looked at Rei, he was indeed very impressed by this cute girl who wielded a large scythe

"This is the famous Sword Emperor," the man hurriedly introduced, "The black knight at the beginning, the one who cleaned us up in a mess"

"Whew!" Perhaps thinking of the humiliation of being pinned to the ground in the first place, Mura couldn't help but take two steps back

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince Olivet, disrespectful" Lévi bent down and saluted "Goodbye"

"Wait! Isn't it a blessing from the goddess to meet here? Levi-kun, don't be so ruthless~~~" Olivet hurriedly laughed and grabbed Levi's sleeve

"In that case, I'll ask you to pay back the money you owe me at the Liber Tavern," Levi held out his hand and motioned for him to take out the money, "You played seven games with me at 21 o'clock, and in the last game I won you 40W Mira with a royal flush, Mr. Kim and Estelle can testify to me, as long as you pay back the money, I don't mind talking to you"

"Emura, lend me your wallet," Olivet pitifully turned back and held out his hand to his best friend

"Do you think my salary may be high enough to lend you 40W Mira!" Mura wanted to kick him to the ground, "Pay for it yourself!" ”

"Hehe, big brother Olivet, you really haven't changed at all~" Ling couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "So when you meet in such a "coincidence" place, is it possible that you want to talk to Levi about some adult topics? ”

"Ahem, sure enough, it's still Ling, you know me" Olivet saw that someone among the passers-by had already recognized him, so he coughed lightly twice, "Anyway, Levi-kun, do you suggest talking to me alone?"

"I'll wait until the opera is over," Levi grabbed Ling's hand and turned around and entered the theater

"These guys are so rude!" Mura couldn't help but grit her teeth

"Mura, if everyone fears me with the etiquette of a subject, then I will simply change my name to Osborne" Olivet chuckled twice, "Isn't this what I have traveled abroad for so many years, don't you be so ignorant"

"Tsk, then I'll be waiting at the door, you guy be careful" Mura reluctantly gave a military salute, "Please be careful, many people know the information that you and Her Royal Highness came to the theater today"

"Don't worry, Levi-kun will protect me" Olivett smiled and waved his hand, "And I want to see Miss Vita again~"

"You this!"

"Hahahaha~" Olivet laughed and fled into the theater

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of the theater

"Huh? You're not by your brother's side" Chong met unimaginable acquaintances in the theater

"Miss Elijah, how can you just come back in the hallway?" In a hurry, someone grabbed Illya, who was dressed in a costume, "Let's go, the opera is about to start"

"Wait a minute, anyway, the empire is here, and if all the people come, they won't start performing," Illya ignored the surprised eyes of the people around her, and began to pull up the river with the backstage staff, "I met an acquaintance~ Let me chat with him"

"It's okay, anyway, today's guests haven't arrived yet, whatever, let her be" There are two slender hands to separate Illya from the backstage staff "I'll be responsible here, you go back to the backstage"

"Miss Vita, okay, I see," he bowed, and then hurried back to the backstage

"Oops~ You're really here to travel to Semuria~ Thank you, Miss Vita," Illya chuckled and struck up a conversation with the two of them

"It's okay, after all, I'm the one who invited you here this time," said Vita Clotide, who is known as the "Song of the Ao" in the Empire, with a smile

"Miss Vita is here!"

"Can we, can you let us take a picture?"

"Miss Vita!! Please sign me! ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry everyone, this lady is much more famous than me" Vita smiled and shook her head, then grabbed Illya and Chong's hands and walked backstage, "If you want to catch up, please go backstage, anyway, I'm the only one in charge of today's performance"

"I'm really sorry for you, I think you don't usually appear outside of the stage," Illya was also a little embarrassed, "The Empire and Crossbell are really very different"

"The atmosphere here in the imperial capital is a little dull, and everyone likes to listen to that kind of soft singing, how can I go ashore easily as a mermaid" Vita took the two to the dressing room and closed the door, she was the only one in the entire dressing room, unlike Illya, who made the audience feel that she was the only one on the stage because the limelight was too strong, Vita was indeed the only one on the stage

"yes," said Illya, who was about to say something, fell asleep in front of the dresser

"Levi-kun, thank you for your hard work," Vita covered her mouth and chuckled, her whole body had changed in an instant

"Within the obligation," Levi and Ling came out from behind the curtain, "besides, this is the second pillar, your magic is here, I just brought him over"

"Then first of all, thank you for coming to the appointment, Mr. Yuyun Chong" messed up the hairstyle that the stylist might have spent hours grooming, and Vita Clotide turned into Misty in the blink of an eye, "Then let's have a good talk~"

"Lord of the Abyss," Ling blinked, she hadn't seen any other apostles in the association except for Wiseman and Novatis, but she had heard of the name

"The Annihilation Angel is really cute, I was out on a mission during the time you were there, and now I can finally feast my eyes on it~" Vita lowered her body and touched Ling's head, "Hehe~ It's a pity that you are no longer an executor"

"Lord Two, please tell us why we are here," Lévi said calmly, "I must have made a promise that I would not do anything unfavorable to the association."

"Levi-kun, there is a language trap in your words" Vita chuckled and looked up, "You said that you would not make unfavorable moves against the association, but you did not say that you would not lend a helping hand to the enemies of the association, and you should still do something without interfering with the final outcome of the association"

"I don't have any affection for the Empire, why should I help them" Lévy's words were already cold, it was anger at the Empire, and his tragic past was already related to the Empire

"So that's why I called Mr. Yuun, the key point is on him" Vita turned her head to look at Chong, who had not spoken, "Mr. Yuun, what are you here for?"

"I'll just say it once, I'm here as a student to make up for the credits, no matter what happens in the imperial capital, as long as it doesn't threaten personal life, I won't care" Chong has already given a sufficient explanation, as for the so-called second pillar in front of her, it depends on herself, why should a good person be called the second pillar? If you don't pay attention to it, you may become a two-pillar

"That's exactly what I want~ Let's be honest, we're going to conduct an experiment in the imperial capital" Vita smiled and clapped her hands, "The alliance leader means to tell me not to involve innocent people, Mr. Yuyun, we don't want to face a situation where we are enemies of you at that time"

"If you want to take credits, I can provide you with enough opportunities, but please promise me that it would be best to leave the empire at that time, or even say that I can go back to Japan directly," Vita saluted with the corner of her skirt raised. ”

"This was originally the only purpose for me to come here," Chong only felt a little helpless, his identity should not be so special as to make a body-devouring snake with a strong man like Levi under him vigilant, right? Why bother to do this if the country goes out a little, even if the empire falls, it is not good or bad for him and Japan, and there is a China in the middle, is it possible that Japan can still come and make some money and leave?

"I believe in your credibility, I will take the initiative to ask for a commission from your VII. class, and it will be nothing for me to leave the imperial capital for a few days" Vita tried to curl her hair back up, "It's bad to untie my hair, and I'm going to go on stage later, Levi-kun, can you help me make do with it and get it back?" ”

"But before that, why did the Flame Dancing Queen come here?" Chong asked what he wanted to know most at this time

"Don't worry, that's just a personal request from the iron-blooded prime minister, there was no one to tie in the past, and the relationship between Crossbell and the empire was a bit distracted, but now there is" Vita smiled and looked at Levi with a tangled face and held the hair ornament and didn't know what to do" Crossbell's patron saint came to the imperial capital, and the prime minister wanted to win him over by inviting Crossbell's celebrity, I don't mind, but I'm afraid the people in the imperial capital won't like to dance so enthusiastically"

"Mr. Jieyun, an illusory flame is about to burn in the imperial capital, you have to see clearly the tongue of fire hidden underground" Vita said meaningfully, "We are just bystanders after all, if the real master of the imperial capital invites you, hehe, we can't help you shoot the fire at that time"

"Remember, what you stand for"
