"Machine spirit, are you sure that there are no superpowers or magic in this world?"

"That's exactly what happens at the moment." The machine gave an affirmative, but tangled-sounding answer... Is this the case at the moment, and it can't be guaranteed in the future?

However, Lie has already got the answer he wants, so he knows what is in front of him... Definitely a secondary and second disease patient!

…

On the new day, Lie went to school with Zero as usual, and when the day's classes were over, they returned to the club classroom together.

Today is a special day, the nuns have already told Lie in advance that there is a prayer event today, and they can't come. Xiao An and Aisha still told Lie in advance that today... Or maybe the student council has been busy with an important matter lately, so it can't come.

In other words, today is another time for Lie and Zero to get along alone in the club classroom!

Ahem, but before this atmosphere of solitude developed in a strange direction, a student came to make a commission.

The strangest thing is that this student actually has an eyepatch on his right eye, is it injured?

Lie originally thought so, but after contacting this student for a while, he found that this was not the case... It happened a few minutes ago, and Lie and Zero were thinking about doing something when the girl with an eye patch suddenly appeared in front of Lie and Zero.

To be more specific, this student had already come over just now, but it was very hidden, and Lie and Zero didn't find out until she popped out. Judging from the uniform on his body, he is also a student of Fangwen Women's College.

"Well, what are you doing?" Jeol and Zero sat there, watching the girl stealthily move around the room while looking around, as if looking for something.

"Shh~" The girl stretched out her fingers and made a silent gesture, then lowered her voice and whispered: "Before conducting important negotiations, I should first find out and eliminate the minions of the dark forces!" ”

"The dark Ones'... Pawn? ”

"Hmm, it seems that the forces of the Demon Realm have not penetrated here, so there is no need to release the enchantment." The girl sat still, drank the tea she had just poured, and looked at Lie with a serious look in her eyes.

"Demon... The Demon Realm? Lie didn't understand what was going on, and Zero was confused, not knowing what was going on.

"Still confused?" The girl in front of her shook her head a little disappointed, and continued to say to Lie: "I thought that the knight who was trusted by everyone had awakened, but I didn't expect that he was still asleep... It's a complicated matter, so I won't go into too much detail. ”

The girl stood up and put on an exaggerated pose, feeling a little handsome in a trance... Ahem, the girl's eyes that were not covered by the blindfold were staring at Lie, and Lie and Zero were infected by the atmosphere and became serious.

"My name is Xiaoye, and I am ostensibly a first-year student at Fangwen Women's College, but in fact, I am tracking down an existence that can tear the sky... Before the chaos of time and space, my name was... For fear of being detected by the minions of the Demon Realm, it is inconvenient to say more, but as long as the knight recovers his memory and awakens, he will understand. ”

"Xiao Ye has lost the position of his companion under the interference of the demon minions, although he has not yet awakened, please help Xiao Ye find a partner!"

Looking at the behavior of the girl in front of him, because she was too serious, Lie couldn't help but believe her words a little... After all, some of the spirits are indeed sealed... The most important thing is that looking at the girl in front of him, Lie always has a sense of closeness, just like meeting Zero and Gujin.

However, after coming to his senses and inquiring about the machine spirit, Lie discovered... The classmate on the other side, who calls himself Xiao Ye, is a secondary school patient, right? It's still late!

“…”

"Ahem, that is, your commission is to find a partner?" Lie sorted out what Xiao Ye said just now and came to this conclusion.

"Yes." The girl in front of her sat down again and nodded, as if satisfied that Yeol understood what she meant.

Why is it always such a commission? Lie really wants to complain a few words, do many people have no friends? Why do so many plots start in this kind of place?

"Let's fill out a form first," Lie asked Xiao Ye as he handed the form to her, "Although it's a strange commission, we're always dealing with some tricky things, so it's no problem..."

"So, your request, or rather... Wait, if you look like this..."Lie glanced at Xiao Ye again, this posture seemed to be a little familiar.

"The name is different." Zero tugged at the corner of Lalie's clothes and whispered.

Ah, Lie remembered that when Moriki visited her that night, she had met several otaku friends, and one of them also liked to wear an eye patch.

However, the name is different, but to be on the safe side, Yeol decided to ask again.

"Your name is Xiaoye, right? Is there another name? I mean, in normal times. ”

"Usually? It is the name of the present world, I am Xiaoye. ”

That doesn't seem to be the case, and there are a lot of differences from Moriki's description... Lie pondered about this, and continued to say to Xiao Ye: "Please write out the specific information you commissioned... Trouble translating into the language of the present world. ”

“…”

"It seems that the knight who is trusted by everyone doesn't believe Xiao Ye's words." The girl stood up again, and struck a strange pose, which would be even more handsome if there was a cloak behind her.

"My name is Xiaoye, in order to avoid the minions of the demon world, this is the identity of the present world..."

"I know, I'll take your commission..."Lie motioned for the girl to sit down first and speak properly.

"You still don't seem to understand." Xiao Ye shook his head, stepped back and said, "It's just that I am still too naïve with the hope of what happens." ”

"A trusted knight, probably only blinded mortals think so... I'm still going to look for it alone, dealing with the minions of the Demon Realm alone..."

Lie watched the girl disappear at the door, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, so he turned his gaze to zero.

Zero is making tea, and she always has an unusual interest in these tiny things. Feeling the fierce gaze, Zero didn't raise his head, and said lightly while making tea: "Zero thinks, Master's performance just now... It's terrible. ”

"It's very bad..."This sentence came out from zero, and it was very powerful, and Lie, who was originally just a little uncomfortable, immediately stood up.

However, there was no trace of the girl outside.

“…”

Lie sat on the side, and Zero was doing some small things, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Let's go find her!" Lie couldn't stand this atmosphere, and said to Zero: "I know, I shouldn't have used that attitude just now, I really behaved badly..."

"So, can you come with me?"

Zero raised his head and regained his old cute smile, but said with some annoyance, "But, where do we look?" ”

"This," Yeol held up the table on the table and said to Zero, "Although it only writes about the class, it's enough, right?" ”

"Hmm." Zero turned around and went to the changing room, and when he left the department, Zero would change into a school uniform, and Lie was stunned looking at the application form.

When the zero exchange came out, Lie had already finished preparing and said to her with a smile: "Let's go, look for our client." ”

…

At the end of the day, some classes do not leave the classroom and may stay for self-study. Therefore, after Lie and Zero, he went to Xiao Ye's classroom to try his luck.

Ah, since luck is involved, then... Sure enough, Xiao Ye's class was closed, and there were no students left.

The next day, Lie and Ling arrived at school early and waited in the corridor of Xiao Ye's class. It's a pity that until the class bell was about to ring, Xiao Ye still didn't come out, and Lie and Ling had no choice but to go back.

During recess, Zero Helie went to Xiao Ye's classroom many times, but she was never seen.

"Nothing is going to happen, is it?" The degree of regret in Lie's heart deepened, the other party was a secondary and second-class patient, and he was too arrogant.

Zero pulled the corner of Lalie's clothes and proposed to go directly to Xiaoye's teacher.

…

"Xiaoye?" Xiao Ye's homeroom teacher sat in the office, looked at Zero and Lie curiously, and asked, "Are you Lie's classmate?" Do you have anything to do with Xiao Ye? ”

"We," Lie and Zero glanced at each other, and said to Xiao Ye's homeroom teacher, "We are Xiao Ye's friends, and we came to look for Xiao Ye but found that Xiao Ye was not in the classroom, so we came to ask the teacher." ”

"Does the teacher know anything?"

Xiao Ye's teacher pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud and asked Lie: "Just now, classmate Lie said that you are Xiao Ye's friend, right?" ”

"Wait... Think so. ”

Xiao Ye's teacher heard Lie's affirmative answer, and immediately put on a somewhat troubled face, and said to Lie and Zero: "Actually, Xiao Ye's attendance rate has been very low recently, so he didn't come to class today. ”

"I also went to Xiaoye's house with the squad leader, but it turned out to... I don't know why, Xiao Ye refuses to communicate with other classmates, even the teacher can't help it. ”

"Moreover, Xiao Ye's parents are not at home, she lives alone."

"When I heard that Lie and Zero were looking for Xiao Ye just now, I was really shocked... Also, did Lie create a club called the Support Department, which is said to accept any requests from students? ”

"It's true to have created a support department, but any commission is a bit of a thing..."

"So, can the teacher entrust Lie-san with something?"

"Is it related to Xiaoye?"

"Yes," Xiao Ye's teacher took out a stack of forms from the drawer, took out one of them and said to Lie, "There is Xiao Ye's address on it, if Lie can help persuade Xiao Ye to come to class, tell Lie the address." ”

“…”

"Okay." Lie actually wanted to complain a few words, but now he is in a heavy mood, so forget it.

"Sure enough, it's a knight who is trusted by everyone, and I'm looking forward to Lie's performance."

Xiao Ye's teacher told Lie the address, and Lie and Zero said goodbye... But what is the "knight who is trusted by everyone"? Isn't that what Xiao Ye imagined?

Zero shook her head, saying that she didn't know, she didn't care much about anything other than Lie.

…

Leaving the work of the club to Shiyu and them, Lie and Zero set off to find Xiaoye's residence, and quickly found it when they had a detailed address.

Speaking of which, the distance in Fangwen Girls' School is too far because you need to live in a student dormitory, and living in your own home means that it is not far from the school.

"This is it." After reconfirming, Yeol knocked on the door.

It's a little different from the area I'm in, and it's basically a one-story house... I looked at it from the outside, and the curtains were closed, so I couldn't see movement inside.

"Is Xiaoye there?" Yeol was shouting outside, and it seemed that there was some movement.

Lie and Zero waited for a while, only to see a crack open in the door, and Xiao Ye's voice came: "Is it a puppet controlled by the minions of the Demon Realm, is it really capable of finding here." ”

“…”

"Ahem~" Lie cleared his throat and was about to say something, when Xiao Ye suddenly opened the door completely and walked out.

"It's you, and it seems that you've finally awakened to find this place, trusted knight!"

“…”

What is this unfolding? Anyway, can we go in first?

…

"Please." Xiaoye put the juice down and sat down.

"Thank you." Lie looked at the layout in the room and found that it was very neat inside, and it didn't seem to be very consistent with Xiao Ye... It's not that Xiao Ye is a sloppy girl, but that Xiao Ye's room doesn't seem to be like this.

"I seem to feel a bad look, is it an illusion?"

"Xiaoye, I'm sorry, but I haven't woken up yet... However, this does not affect the communication between us. Pondering his words, he said, "If you can, please let me do something." ”

Xiao Ye sat opposite and nodded solemnly: "It's okay, as long as the time is up, the seal will naturally disappear." ”

"Xiao Ye, your family... Are you the only one at home? Lie looked around, although the teacher said that Xiao Ye's parents were not there, but this really didn't look like a place where people lived.

"Yes." Xiao Ye confirmed Lie's words: "In order to find a certain existence, I came to this place with my companions... But when I got here, I found that I was the only one... It must have been the influence of some mysterious being, and it wasn't even discovered at first. ”

"The existence that Xiao Ye is looking for... What is it? ”

"I don't know." Xiao Ye shook his head and said, "My companion knows a lot of things, but now I don't even know where the companion who came with me is. ”

Xiao Ye looked very lost, perhaps because of his own home, and his emotions were obvious.

"Well... By the way, although it is a bit out of place, but... Why didn't Xiao Ye go to class? Is it to hide from the minions of the demon world? ”

"That's not it," Xiao Ye shook his head and continued, "Although the minions of the Demon Realm are powerful, as long as you are careful, you should be fine... The reason why I don't go to school is because I need to find my companions as soon as possible..."

When he said this, Xiao Ye became a little strange, like... It's been a long time since I've seen the Lie Zero!

The metaphor is a bit strange, but there is a similarity, which means that... The companion who came with Xiao Ye must be very important to Xiao Ye, right?

Wait, the premise is that the person exists... It's just that, I don't know why, Lie believed Xiao Ye's words quite at this time, and thought that the companion Xiao Ye said existed.

Then, things are simple, use the shortest time to help Xiao Ye find a companion, and then go back to school.

“…”

A student's duty is to learn!
