Shinji Matou at Your Service

"Nice to meet you."

The breathtakingly beautiful girl spoke. Her voice could directly shake one's mind, making one feel as if in a dream.

On her, beauty was no longer something intangible. It had substance and even transformed into violence.

However, this violence was much weaker compared to the first encounter. It was unclear whether this was because the other half of the twins wasn't present, or if the brain had developed some immunity.

"Lady Diadra has something to say to you," said the maid who introduced herself as Carina.

"Alone."

"Well..."

Waver looked at Shinji hesitantly. Shinji put on a reluctant expression and stood up.

"I'll go outside for a smoke. I wish you and Lady Diadra a pleasant evening."

The atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward.

Shinji didn't give them a chance to object, slipping out of the room as quickly as possible. Before leaving, he didn't forget to wink and make faces as he closed the door.

To the Golden Princess and the maid, this looked like a terrible expression, but to Waver, it contained another layer of meaning - don't worry about safety, I'll take care of it.

With this assurance, Waver could finally relax and focus on dealing with the impossibly beautiful woman before him.

Shinji, who had walked out the door, didn't linger. He went straight to knock on the door next door, which was the girls' room. Normally, it should be off-limits to males, but considering Svin's obsessive fixation on Gray, or more accurately, Gray's scent, this was the liveliest place.

The boys and girls were sitting together, playing with their deck of cards.

Seeing Shinji arrive, Reines got up to greet him: "What's up? Not playing games with Big Brother anymore?"

"I wanted to, but an unexpected situation came up, and I didn't want to stay in the room and spoil the mood."

"Spoil the mood? What do you mean?"

Reines, being so sharp, instantly grasped the anomaly.

"You've already guessed, haven't you? What kind of beautiful scenery requires chasing away another man to enjoy alone?"

Reines' face immediately darkened, and the cold aura emanating from her whole body directly made Svin and Flat stop bickering and also made Gray instinctively grip Add.

"Flat, Svin, Gray, stop playing, come with me."

"What's going on? What's going on? Is there going to be a fight?"

"I obey your orders, Miss Reines."

The two problem children were rubbing their hands together, hoping for chaos.

"What happened?"

Gray asked.

"Something did happen, something big! A shameless woman is trying to make a move on Big Brother. As Big Brother's sister, student, and disciple, we must protect Big Brother! Everyone get ready, we're going to catch them in the act!!!"

With these words, the enthusiasm of the boys and girls reached unprecedented heights. Their professor's (brother's) popularity at the Clock Tower was well-known, countless women wanted to climb into his bed, but so far, no one had succeeded. Now, Reines said "Catch them in the act," how could they not be curious?

Seeing that the fire seemed to be burning a bit too much, Shinji quickly tried to douse it with water.

"Calm down, everyone. The person who came this time is not someone you can mess with."

"Who is it?"

Reines' eyes were unfriendly.

"Diadra Valualeta Iselma."

"From the Iselma family?"

Reines was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, "Wait, isn't this the name of the Golden Princess?"

"The Golden Princess!!!"

At this point, Flat and the others also realized, and couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment, obviously not yet fully recovered from the impact of that beauty.

"Yes, it's the Golden Princess."

Shinji nodded, asking with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "She's the most suitable romantic encounter for Waver, isn't she? So, still want to go catch them in the act, little housekeeper?"

"Catch them!"

Reines gritted her teeth, "No matter who it is, they can't make a move on big brother right in front of me."

"Um... I think the Golden Princess probably came to see Master for other reasons, not, not like what Instructor said."

"Eh?"

Reines suddenly had a moment of clarity. Just now, her thoughts were muddled by Shinji's ambiguous words, but now being reminded by Gray, her intelligence immediately came online.

Judging from the sensation caused by the Golden Princess and Silver Princess's appearance, the Iselma family was very close to their goal. They would never give up on the twin sisters at this point.

"You're messing with me?"

"How am I messing with you?"

Shinji shrugged, feigning innocence, "Did I say what they were going to do? Everything was your imagination."

"You—"

Reines was so choked up she couldn't speak, only able to snort a few times resentfully. Thinking carefully, it was true. Shinji only said a woman went in and he left, he didn't say anything else.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know either. I've told you everything I know. I was chatting nicely with Waver when the Golden Princess's maid came knocking, saying she had important business to discuss with Waver, and asked me to leave. I felt something wasn't right, so I came to inform you."

"I see..."

Reines' eyebrows slowly knitted together, looking just like Waver when he was troubled, "—What do you all think?"

"It's a conspiracy," Flat answered.

"There's a problem," Svin answered.

"Something feels off," Gray answered.

"Did I need you to tell me that?"

Reines glared at the three impatiently, "I'm asking what specific conspiracy, what problem, what feels off?"

"Don't know," the three shook their heads in unison.

"What about you, Mr. Levi?"

Reines turned her gaze to Shinji.

"It could be someone sent by Valualeta to win over Waver, or it could be some kind of scheme. At this stage, there's too little information to judge. However, this room is only separated from mine by a wall, and although the Iselma's magical barrier is well-constructed, but—"

Before Shinji could finish, Reines had already understood his meaning and ordered,

"Flat, infiltrate the spell here. I want to hear the details of Big Brother's conversation with the Golden Princess."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Flat waved his arm, lightly tapping on the wall, "Interference begins (Playball)!"

The vector of the Bounded Field was altered.

Flat's magic was special.

Not only was its attribute the rare Ether, but the techniques used were also extremely heterodox. Drawing essence from magecraft all over the world, this approach is generally classified as Chaos Magecraft in modern magecraft, but Waver evaluated it as "This is simply junk magecraft," while the person himself was overjoyed because "Professor named my magecraft!" and spread it everywhere.

But generally speaking, such spells cannot be established.

The magical foundation of Chaos Magecraft is very fragile. The usable magic versions are at most just known, let alone the universality of theoretically drawing essence, it's even difficult to establish ordinary spells. Therefore, in terms of "somehow being able to establish it," Flat Escardos is undoubtedly a heretic.

Especially in the field of interfering with others' magecraft, Flat showed unusual talent. So far, he hasn't encountered any magecraft he couldn't interfere with. Although Iselma's constructed field had been strengthened over many generations, in his eyes it was no different from paper and was easily pierced through.

After about ten seconds, the Golden Princess's voice that struck directly at one's heart came through, and the first sentence was a bombshell.

"I hope you can assist us in our escape, I hope the El-Melloi classroom can shelter us."
