The Royal Capital of Yale, Franzel residence, the top floor.
In the sowhat luxurious office, Yuri sat there as usual, busy with her work.
However, while working, Yuri suddenly remained motionless, still holding her feather pen and seemingly daydreaming.
"Miss?"
To the side, Marilyn frowned slightly and spoke up helplessly to call Yuri’s attention.
"What is it?"
Yuri snapped back to reality and asked Marilyn.
At this, Marilyn reminded her with a poker face.
"You are daydreaming again."
The use of the word "again" was quite cunning, fully implying that this wasn’t the first ti such an event had occurred.
"...I’m not daydreaming." Yuri’s expression soured as she feebly argued, "I was just thinking about things, not daydreaming."
"Thinking about things?" Marilyn, still expressionless, said, "Why do I feel like what Miss is thinking about isn’t things, but a person?"
"I’m not."
Yuri argued again.
"No, you are."
Marilyn was quite certain as she spoke.
"I said I’m not."
Yuri continued to argue.
"No, you are."
Marilyn very calmly pointed this out.
"I..."
Just as Yuri was about to say sothing else, she was interrupted by Marilyn.
"Miss, if you really miss Mr. Reiger that much, why not just contact him?" Marilyn, as if she couldn’t stand it any longer, said, "After all, both Miss Yuri and Mr. Reiger have communication magic crystals and have recorded each other’s crystal frequencies. You can contact each other at any ti, right?"
"Ah, well..."
Yuri suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
"...Miss." Marilyn squinted her eyes, staring at Yuri, and said, "You couldn’t possibly be scared, could you?"
"Who, who says I’m scared!?" Yuri’s voice rose as if she had hit a sore spot, defensively saying, "It’s just using a communication magic crystal to talk, what’s so difficult about that?"
"Indeed." Marilyn nodded, agreeing to this statent, but then she changed the subject abruptly, "In that case, why don’t you contact Mr. Reiger right now?"
"Right, right now?" Yuri involuntarily shrank her neck and her voice diminished again as she weakly said, "Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"
"I think, if you don’t hear Mr. Reiger’s voice soon, that’ll really be inappropriate." Marilyn spoke bluntly, revealing, "In the past half-month, you’ve been daydreaming at least ten tis a day, and it’s already affecting your work. The situation is even getting worse. If you don’t find a solution, I’m afraid the Franzel family will be in a bad state."
"Is it that serious?" Yuri frowned, expressing her dissatisfaction, "Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"
Marilyn didn’t even want to speak.
Exaggerated?
Would it be "exaggerated" to daydream every day and unwittingly pick up the feather pen during work to sign the na "Reiger" on a docunt you were supposed to sign?
This was no longer a question of the severity of the situation but the severity of the condition.
There and then, Marilyn simply said,
"If you feel embarrassed to contact Mr. Reiger yourself, allow to initiate the contact."
As she spoke, Marilyn took out a communication magic crystal from her clothing.
When Yuri had given Reiger a communication magic crystal, she had also exchanged crystal frequencies with Marilyn, so Marilyn could also contact Reiger.
Yuri, aware of this, panicked unusually.
"Wait, wait! Don’t be hasty!"
Yuri hurriedly stopped Marilyn.
"Please don’t stop , it will be over quickly."
Marilyn didn’t pay attention to Yuri and began to initiate communication.
"No!" Yuri cried out, exclaiming, "At least let prepare ntally first!"
Marilyn looked at Yuri as if she was looking at a coward, but the motion to initiate communication didn’t slow down in the slightest.
"Stop!"
In her urgency, Yuri actually raised her hand and emitted a purple wave.
To stop Marilyn, the Lady of Franzel even resorted to her proudest Disintegration Magic.
"Miss! You...!?"
Marilyn was imdiately startled, quickly sidestepping to avoid the purple wave directed at the communication magic crystal in her hands.
Yuri’s purple wave missed its target and flew toward a bookshelf.
"This is bad!" Marilyn exclaid in alarm, "There are docunts on the bookshelf that were just sorted out yesterday!"
At this, Yuri beca completely frozen.
Just as they both braced to redo yesterday’s work, suddenly, a space in the room turned black.
A hemispherical door of darkness, akin to a black hole absorbing everything, unfolded before the bookshelf, allowing two people to erge.
The purple wave hit right in front of one of them, making Yuri and Marilyn’s eyes widen.
"[Magic Dissolution]."
The next second, a familiar voice ca from the person’s mouth. Accompanied by a resplendent Array, it first unfolded in front of him, then collided with the incoming purple wave, and finally seed to dissolve the aggressor, causing the Disintegration Magic, which could decompose anything, to be decomposed itself and dissipated on the spot.
"————"
The air beca suddenly silent.
Yuri and Marilyn just stared dumbfounded at the two figures who had erged from the door of darkness.
One of the figures, a petite one, was also at a loss due to the sudden turn of events.
Only the person who had just cast the spell, neutralizing Yuri’s Disintegration Magic, stood there, speechless for a long ti.
