After that, Althea briefly explained to Liu what she learned about Kotone from Lu. After listening to Althea's explanation, Liu nodded.

"So it turned out that Miss Qinyin saved my brother's life after I almost killed him? If that's the case... then I have to thank her properly some other time."

After hearing Althea say that Kotone was Lu's savior, Ryu's hostility toward Kotone was reduced a lot. After all, for her, she could meet Lu again, and Ryu was extremely grateful for saving her.

The sound of the piano.

"Liu, do you think it was possible for General Lu to escape to the Empire of the Rising Sun after you were injured like that?"

"This... is not impossible, because after my brother was stabbed in the chest by me, he fell off the cliff. Below the cliff is the sea. If he drifts along the sea current by accident,

The Empire of the Rising Sun, although very unlikely, is not impossible."

The cliff that Lu fell off that year did indeed float along the sea currents to the Empire of the Rising Sun. But at that time, Lu, who was almost indistinguishable from a dead person, had such terrible vitality that he could persist until he floated to the Empire of the Rising Sun?

However, Althea also knew that now was not the time to think about this. She shook her head, and then she and Liu monitored Lu's whereabouts. However, during the time they were chatting, Lu and Kotone were already

They disappeared again. As a result, Althea and Liu could only start searching for their traces in the vast sea of ​​people again.

Althea and Liu spent a lot of time before finally finding their whereabouts in a rose garden in the distance. Lu and Kotone were sitting on a bench, while Kotone was sitting on a bench.

He seemed to have fallen asleep while leaning on Lu's shoulder, while Lu sat motionless on the chair, seemingly intending to let Kotone take a good rest first, but both Althea and Liu discovered that Kotone was not asleep, just

It's just leaning on Lu's shoulder.

"What are they doing...?"

"Although I don't know clearly,... I always feel a little envious. Even I have never been so close to my brother..."

"In this way, I have some advantages. After all, Lu and I have already had the experience of skin-to-skin contact, more than once."

As if to show off her victory, Alshia couldn't help but say this, but after saying it, she immediately recalled that Liu also had a crush on Lu and said it in front of her.

Isn't this a provocation?

"What did you say……!?"

At this moment, the expression on his face froze.

"Huh...huhuhu...brother...and Miss Alsia...huhu...did I hear it wrong? Ah...? Did Alsia just say something like skin-to-skin contact?

Ah? I regarded you as a friend, Alsia, but... did you, Alsia, sneak away before I had a skin-to-skin kiss with my brother? Ah...?"

There seemed to be a terrifying dark aura coming out of Liu's body, which made Althea beside Liu couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Liu...liu...calm down, what kind of ears are you? I mean he and I have been partners more than once. You heard wrong."

"Oh? Is that so? It seems to me that I really spent too much magic power in the last competition. I even had auditory hallucinations in my ears. I'm really sorry, Althea."

"No...it's okay."

Althea was also frightened by Liu just now. She also swore secretly in her heart that she would never accidentally say in front of Liu that she and Lu had had a skin-to-skin experience. After all, she had just

The flow is really terrible. She doesn't want to waste unnecessary energy and magic power because she has to fight the flow before tomorrow's second Holy Warrior Festival preliminaries. Besides, her body has finally recovered.

There are signs that she doesn't want to have a big fight today just because of a trivial matter, causing her to be unable to use her strength normally the next day.

However, at this moment, Liu relied on her eyes to notice that two familiar people were approaching Lu and Kotone. These two people were Wendy and Leo, who both belonged to the Black Emperor's army.

"Hey, hey, hey, I said it, I said it, Wendy, please don't ignore people there, okay?"

Although Liu had heard that the two of them would go out for a walk today, after all, they are the pair that will attend the second preliminaries tomorrow. When they were in the Black Emperor's army, the two of them were also known for their tacit understanding, so

It's normal for two people to go out together to relax at this time, but I didn't expect that they would appear so coincidentally.

here.

Leo and Wendy were only separated by a corner. If they were to meet now, Lu and Kotone might have gone to another place, which would make it very troublesome to find them.

"There is no other way... we can only do this."

Liu gently shook his finger, and a small water curtain appeared at their corner exit. In this way, they could be successfully isolated.

"Liu, you are so amazing. You can actually use magic power to form such a water curtain from such a distance."

"Don't say that, I have spent a lot of money to develop the skills I have now. Since I left the Kingdom of Luenlir last time, I have also been very diligent in training. If it were me now, I can definitely do it.

Easily defeated Atolas at that time."

Liu also looked confident when he said this, and there was no exaggeration at all. I am afraid that Liu's level now is far higher than when they first met.

After a simple exchange, the two of them observed Lu and Qinyin again, but Lu and Qinyin disappeared again.

"Oops, no one is seen again!"

"Really, where have the two of them gone?"

Althea and Liu also kept looking around, looking for the whereabouts of Lu and Kotone.

"Alsia, Liu, what are you looking for?"

A familiar voice came from behind them, and the two of them turned around, only to see Lu and Kotone appearing behind them.

"Then... that... Lu, is that you?"

"Brother, you..."

"Do you think I haven't noticed you two? I've noticed that you two have been following me since just now, but I didn't expect that you two could actually find me."

"It took me a lot of effort to find my brother, but I still found him. Lu, why did you meet Miss Kotone without telling us?"

Having said this, Lu and Kotone's expressions instantly darkened. Seeing the two of them showing such expressions, Althea and Lu also realized that the two of them probably did have something important to discuss.
