A wave of nausea in her mouth hit Ellie's heart, as if a floodgate was closing the way from her throat to her esophagus, preventing food from being eaten. But even so, the stubborn girl still endured the discomfort with pain on her face, tore off a piece of the meat and swallowed it into her stomach.

Ellie wiped the blood from her mouth with her hand, she knew that she must be embarrassed now, but it was all up to her.

On the long road of life, the guy who always drags everyone back, this time he will also try to keep up with everyone's footsteps, will not retreat, will not be affected by the things around him, this time, will not be used as everyone's drag oil bottle.

calming the complicated feelings in her heart, a pair of slender hands wrapped around Ellie's soft waist and held the girl's body firmly in her arms, and the girl calmed down after a moment of shock.

"Senpai......" the girl whispered, but Catherine didn't let go of her hand.

Everything just now was seen by Catherine, and she didn't stop it, because it was Ellie's decision. People always grow in what they choose to do, and she doesn't interfere with Ellie's choices, but ......

"Stupid ......," Catherine whispered in the girl's ear with her chin on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry...... Makes everyone worried. ”

As she spoke, Ellie could feel the tightening of the arms around her abdomen.

"Remember, you're never alone."

Ellie was stunned, is this caring about me? But it's nice to be cared for......

Holding the slightly cold hand in the abdomen, the heart is warm. Ellie smiled and affirmed, "Hmm." ”

……

In the dark night, a slender black shadow quietly walked into the Greeny Manor, came to the door, looked left and right, there was no one else, gently pushed the door open, but collided with Felix who was in front of the door and was about to look for Merlin.

Felix, who was in close contact with the door, was shocked and in pain, and was about to exclaim in surprise, but her mouth was covered by a pair of hands.

"Shhhh

It was only after Felix nodded obediently that the shadow's hand let go.

As soon as her mouth was released, Felix looked at the person at the door with some concern, "Merlin, it's so late......"

"I know, I know......" Merlin interrupted Felix, "I'll go back to my room first." ”

"Merlin." Felix called out to Merlin.

"What's the matter?" Merlin looked back.

"That...... The dean is looking for you. ”

"Hospital...... Courtyard...... Dean? What are you looking for me to do because of yesterday's game? Merlin had a rare panic when she heard that Dean Meruna was looking for her.

Felix shook her head, "Like...... No, you'd better go check it out, or the dean will be angry......"

"Yes...... "Wasn't it yesterday's game?" Could it be that the fact that I was reading a knight's novel at the Osford Library today was exposed? Although I know it's just a plaything, the hero in it is really handsome......

But when I think of the dean's usual cold appearance, I really don't want to go. But she lost the first game last time because of her own reasons, and it can even be said that she deliberately lost it herself, and I don't know how the dean will teach her a lesson this time.

"Then I'd better go." Merlin wanted to cry without tears.

"In the study." Felix said, gesturing upstairs.

Three steps turned into a step to the second floor, although he had deliberately slowed down, but the study, which was not very far away, still quickly walked to the door. Unable to think of an excuse that could be used as a reason, Merlin had to force up her courage, she had already lost anyway, so let the punishment come more violently!

"Knock knock" - Merlin knocked on the door

"Come in."

A majestic female voice came from inside the door.

Chirping~

The door opened a small crack, and Merlin showed her head and looked into the room, where she saw Dean Meluna reading, looking at her because of her own interruption.

Smiling awkwardly, she straightened up her skirt meaninglessly, and Mei Lin said to Mei Luna, "Dean, are you looking for me?" ”

"Well, come here."

The flat voice sent a chill down Merlin's spine a little, and she walked over tremblingly and came to Meluna.

Meluna looked Mei Lin up and down, and in Mei Lin's eyes, Dean Mei Luna's beautiful eyes revealed not mature charm but a cold ray of ice.

Suddenly, Meluna stood up and raised her right hand, causing Merlin's neck to shrink in fright, and she closed her eyes in fear. But the punishment that had been in her heart did not appear, and Meluna's right hand only gently stroked Merlin's forehead.

For a moment, Merlin felt something scurrying around in her brain, and just as she wanted to make a difference, Meluna spoke.

"Don't resist."

"Yes......" Merlin obediently gave up her act of resistance. She didn't think that the dean would harm herself, such as turning herself into an idiot or something.

After a while, Meluna withdrew her right hand, and Merlin felt that the thing that was scurrying around in her brain was gone, and she saw Meluna sigh softly, "Well, the spirit is fine, it seems that it should have caused psychological damage." ”

"Dean, what's wrong?" Merlin asked curiously.

"Edwell told me that the illusion unleashed by the man Bill had brought in was dangerous, and that the little girl at Osford was already very psychologically ill. He said you had something unusual today, let me check it out for you. ”

"Hehe, that ...... I'm fine, I'm fine......" Merlin said with a little weakness, but there was a voice in her heart saying that it would be nice if that illusion lasted a little longer!

"Well, let's go back, rest early, there's a second competition next month, keep up your good work." Meluna nodded, not at all about Merlin's loss.

"That'...... I'll go back, dean, goodbye. Merlin hesitated, gave a quick salute, and left, as if she had seen something terrible and wanted to hide.

And Meluna couldn't help frowning when she saw Merlin's escape, Merlin wasn't like this before, "It seems that this illusion has really affected her." ”

……

On the other side, in the Osford dormitory, in Ellie's room, the girl had already entered the bed early. Originally, the girl wanted to try to see if the dinner could be cooked, but Catherine refused with the most important words about her body, so the two just went to the cafeteria to buy some food for dinner.

In fact, because of the events of these days and the lack of sleep quality, the girl has already had some nervous breakdowns, but it has stopped today, and the girl can finally sleep well. And it doesn't stop there, the girl also gets her own weapon.

In the depths of his hands, a streamer flashed, and the light blue light accompanied the heavy sense of reality in his hand, and the Demon Breaking Sword appeared in his hand. Pulling out the scabbard, the girl looked at the sword in her hand, which should be the sharpest part of the sword, and was made into a larger arc according to the girl's requirements, in fact, it would be more convenient for the girl to make a stick, but she felt that the use of a stick was too ugly, and it was more rude.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

The girl waved the weapon in her hand, shouting the childish sound effects of her accompaniment, and after waving it for a while, the girl, who felt that she was so stupid now, finally pulled a sword flower and put the weapon back into the scabbard.

Although the girl is a priest who saves lives, her favorite is the swordsman in handsome armor. For example, Sister Iliya, who was wearing a pitch-black armor, fell into deep admiration at the first sight of Ellie, and in her heart, Sister Iliya was so unruly.

The girl's face couldn't help but feel a little hot and an unnatural flush as she thought about it.

Suddenly, a creaking sound reached the girl's ears, and the girl was wondering when the mysterious sound appeared again.

"Crack~Crack~Crack~Crack~"

This time the girl finally knew where the sound was coming from, because her bed was tilting...... The four legs of the bed can no longer hold the weight of the bed.

"Boom-"

The entire dormitory was enveloped by this loud sound.
