"Chrissy, what's wrong with you? What's over there?"

“... It's okay, Miss Elisa, I'll go to the bathroom a bit. ”

Luo Xiaotian glanced at Chriss, who was standing up, while pretending to be listening carefully to the conversation between Dylan Hobbs and his friends in front of him.

"Dylan?"

"What's the matter, Mr. Ronald?"

"I'm going to take off the bathroom a little bit and I'll be back later. ”

"Ah, Mr. Ronald, do you need me to accompany you? The location of the restroom here is not easy to find, and I don't know who the Marquis of Bellamy designed it in the first place. ”

"It's okay Dylan, you can stay here, I can ask the waiter on the road. ”

"That's... Well, Mr. Ronald, you must go back quickly, I have a lot of things to ask you!"

“... All right. ”

Please, Dylan Hobbs, Luo Xiaotian chased in the direction that Chrissy had just left, and then saw Chrissy standing there around the corner.

"Ronald, why are you here?"

"I should ask you why you are in the Marquis de Bellamy's palace, if I remember correctly, you don't know any nobles other than Alice, do you?"

"I don't need you to know anyone?... But did you chase me because you were worried about me?"

“... Of course, after all, we're friends, so it's normal for me to worry about you, right?"

"Thank you for worrying about me, but don't worry, I'm here because I was invited by Miss Elisa, you better leave quickly, if you are discovered, there is no way to explain it. ”

"Is it really okay? I don't have the same character as yours when I have an intersection with nobles..."

"Chrissy, why have you been so long... I remember I didn't invite you, who are you!?"

Oops, maybe it was too much delay, Alyssa came looking for Chriss, and she didn't notice anyone approaching from behind the wall.

"Ahh Miss Elisa? is this... My friend, Ronald Darwin, a second-order magician, didn't you say you wanted to introduce a magician to a friend? I invited Ronald without permission, and I just went outside to pick him up!"

“... Oh, Chrissy, tell me about this kind of thing in advance, and I'll send this Mr. Ronald an invitation... Ronald... Why does this name sound familiar?... Forget it, since you are Chrissy's friend, then you are also my friend, welcome to you, I have invited a lot of friends who like magic and admire the wizarding world today, can I introduce you to them later?"

"Of course it is fine, beautiful Miss Elisa. ”

"Haha, then, Chrissy, you can accompany Ronald for a good walk, and we will go back to the indoor banquet hall when it is almost time later." ”

......

"Whew... It's finally been fooled. ”

"Didn't you see Alyssa's eyes? She didn't believe what I said. ”

Chriss's statement is indeed full of loopholes, at least the guards of the mansion, and even Dylan Hobbs can easily break this lie. In this case, Alyssa may just not want to make the scene too ugly, and it may not be possible to come in like this next time.

"Anyway, Alyssa has no intention of pursuing it anymore, now can you tell me why you accepted Alyssa's invitation? There must be some reason, right?"

“... It's not all because of you!"

What did he do? This statement made Luo Xiaotian have to wonder if he had done something to Chrissy when he was unconscious.

"Because you don't want to help me reconcile with Miss Alice, I have to do something else... Miss Alyssa promised me that she would let me go with her next time when she invited Miss Alice to the tea party, and she would help me say something nice in front of Miss Alice. ”

“... But how could Alyssa know about the matter between you and Alice?"

"Maybe Miss Alice told her... I don't know. ”

It's a little strange, Alice doesn't seem to be someone who will tell others about this casually, the last time it was because the object was herself and Nina, she would say it without hesitation.

However, since I'm already here, I don't have to worry about what will happen, I hope it's just that I'm too careful.

Returning to Dylan Hobbs with Chriss, Luo Xiaotian introduced Chrissy to them, speaking of which, although Chrissy is older than herself, her identity as a third-order magician is enough to show that her talent is indeed as Alice once said, very suitable for learning magic.

Dylan Hobbs was as excited as expected, and began to drag the two of them to ask questions.

......

"I'm going back to Alice, would you like to come along?"

“... No, as much as I would love to see Miss Alice, I can't go back to the Duke's Palace for the time being, and I need to get Miss Alice's forgiveness before I can go back. ”

The banquet has ended, and in the end, Luo Xiaotian didn't find out that there was a problem there, it was an ordinary banquet, but the protagonist was Chrissy, who usually stayed in the library and was silent.

After telling Chrissy to be careful on the road, Luo Xiaotian returned to the Duke's Palace, where Alice was still waiting for him.

Speaking of which, does Chrissy of the third-order magician really need to protect herself? I have never seen her use magic before, and gradually I have never been able to connect her with the powerful middle-level magician, and today when I was talking about Chriss's introduction to Dylan Hobbs, I suddenly found that others were much more powerful than myself.

If there is any danger, who is protecting whom?

However, as mentioned earlier, magic is not omnipotent, and being a magician cannot help Chrissy avoid all dangers, and she does not regret doing so.

......

"Alice, keep you waiting. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

“... It's about Chrissy, and I want to talk to you about it..."

Luo Xiaotian told Alice all the things she encountered today, and there was nothing mixed with her own feelings, but she just hoped that Alice would be able to make her own judgment and choice after hearing it.

I believe that Alice should be able to feel Chrissy's regret and persistence, right? Telling the truth to Alice is the only thing Luo Xiaotian can do.

“... Tell me what you think, Rollo?"

"I think there's something wrong with that Alyssa, how could she know about what happened between you and Chrissy?"

“... I told her, you know that's not what I'm asking, I want to know if you were me, what would you choose, forgive Chriss? or something else?"

"I think it's a choice you need to make, Alice. ”

"It's okay, just tell me, I just want to hear what other people think. ”

“... Okay, I think Chrissy was at fault, but it wasn't her fault that she sneaked into Uncle Alexander's study, she didn't really see you as a friend, and if she had asked you for help in the first place, that wouldn't have happened. In addition, judging a person's right or wrong, from the starting point, it will be more clear that Chrissy is just a poor person who yearns for the magical world but has no way to enter, so he is desperate. Aren't there many such people in this world?"
