"Looks like you need help." Hylis smiled slyly and left her chair to sit next to Ellie.

"As much as I would like to get Ciris's help, it is now Ciris's task to memorize the medicinal effects and usage methods of all the herbs she learned last week."

Seeing Ellie's hands pinching her waist with a stern look, Cilise had no choice but to sit back in her place dejectedly, she thought she could be lazy.

"Good, good, learn, learn." Ellie said word for word. "I don't want to suddenly find out that my classmate at the same table has changed to someone else next semester."

"There are no entrance exams this semester—" Cialys retorted in a long voice.

"There is an exam next semester, and Cylis can't slack off." Hearing Ciris's words, Ellie remembered the promotion exam that had been canceled because of the Final Three. "After reading those materials today, Hylis can do whatever she wants for the rest of the time."

"Okay...... Okay......" Hylise said helplessly, she couldn't resist Ellie, and Melina was also very supportive of Ellie's approach, the one who existed like her adoptive mother, heard herself complain that she was often pulled by Ellie to tutor her homework, and she wanted to give birth to a few more hands in favor.

At the thought of being forced to do the things she hated in the rest of the day, Cialis instantly lost her energy, threw her hands on the table, and lay weakly on the table.

"Oh my God...... This kind of day will last for 6 years...... "Xili **** cried without tears."

……

A morning was spent in the time to memorize the materials, although on the way Cialis watched and fell asleep, but Ellie did not wake her up immediately, although she was a little helpless about Cialis's learning resistance, but she also knew the opposite truth, she wanted to sleep for a while. It wasn't until noon that Cialis was woken up by Ellie, and after waking up, Cialis couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she looked at Ellie's smiling face, in fact, she didn't want to sleep, but those characters were like hypnotism in her eyes, and she was drowsy when she saw it.

Pulled Celis to the cooking club, even if you want to study, you have to fill your stomach first. However, Ellie, who was about to make some lunch here, unexpectedly found an acquaintance, who was sitting at a table far away, with only cutlery on the table, and it seemed that the dishes she ordered had not yet been served. When the man saw Ellie, he waved his hand at her.

"Good afternoon, Miss Merlin." Ellie bowed slightly and said, for Merlin, a smart and wise girl, her impression in her heart was not bad. Of course, if she doesn't know that Merlin is the culprit responsible for Randall's "disappearance". If Ellie knew that Merlin did everything in the forest, she would have added words such as sinister and cunning to the impression of this smart young lady.

"Good afternoon, I heard that Gloria gave you the golden egg." Merlin waved her hand and said straight to the point, she was not afraid that Ellie would not answer her, with what she knew about Ellie, the girl in front of her would tell her what she wanted to know.

"Yes, I'm grateful to Gloria, she's a nice person." Ellie said, clasping her hands together as if she were praying for Gloria.

Merlin looked at Ellie's movements and felt a little funny, but her face was choked. Gloria had chosen wisely, and it would have been foolish not to give Ellie the golden eggs, as this was Osford's home turf.

"So did you get the secret of the golden egg?" Merlin smiled a little at the corner of her mouth, looked at Ellie and said.

"No......" Ellie shook her head, she didn't know much about this world, not to mention the test of this puzzle type, which was really difficult for her.

Hearing Ellie's words, Merlin pulled out a small metal cube, the size of a fist, with a golden sheen.

"This is...... Rubik's Cube? Ellie looked at the six-sided nine-square object and said with some uncertainty, the reason why she was puzzled was because the six sides were all the same color, but it looked like a toy cube that had become popular recently.

"It should be, uh-look." Merlin handed the Rubik's Cube to Ellie.

Taking the Rubik's Cube, Ellie fiddled with it and twisted it, but it did not shift like other Rubik's Cubes.

"It doesn't seem to be able to twist it...... " Ellie said, she didn't dare to use the power of her strong fist, after all, it was someone else's thing, and it wouldn't be good if it was broken.

"This is the stuff inside the golden egg, maybe it can't be twisted because the game hasn't officially started yet." Merlin answered Ellie's doubts with a smile on her face.

"Yes......" Ellie replied hesitantly, she could not have imagined that in just one day, Merlin would open the golden egg and obtain the contents inside, and she was still racking her brain about what to do about it.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Seeing Ellie put the Rubik's Cube on the desktop in front of her, Mei Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, she thought that Ellie would ask how she opened it, but now it seems that she still underestimated the girl, of course, just a little!

"Don't you want to know how I opened the golden egg?" Merlin took back the Rubik's Cube and said with one hand on the table and chin on it.

"This must be your secret." Ellie shook her head, it would be rude to ask too much, she wouldn't do that.

Hearing Ellie's words, Mei Lin smiled mysteriously, "I might as well tell you, this golden egg can actually be cracked with a little brute force, and there is only such a Rubik's Cube in it." ”

"This ...... Why did Miss Merlin tell me......"

Ellie was a little puzzled, shouldn't they have a relationship between them that belonged to rival colleges, why did they tell her such important information?

"Because I think you're cute."

“！”

The sudden compliment caught Ellie off guard, and no one had ever said such a thing to her so blatantly. In an instant, Ellie was embarrassed by Merlin's words, "Miss Merlin, please don't be joking. ”

"I'm not kidding." Merlin's face showed no other expression, as if she were asking if you had dinner this morning, rather than the kind of embarrassing words. "And don't call me Miss Merlin, call me by my name, I think we can get closer."

Merlene's words again were no less than a bombshell, and Ellie was dizzy when she smashed it. Ellie caressed her blushing cheeks, which were hot. Her voice trembled a little, "Hug ...... I'm sorry...... I'm going to make some food first, no...... Don't bother you......"

After speaking, before Merlin could reply, Ellie fled quickly, and the tips of Ellie's red ears could be seen through the fluttering hair.

Cialis, who hadn't interjected a word from beginning to end, had shut down her brain, and looking at Ellie, who had been left behind her, suddenly, she felt that she had just stood between Ellie and Merlin.
