Chapter 96: Little Adventure Of Certain Half-elf In The Town

"Hmm... there is strange magic there..." Emilia notice there is strange magic fluctuating around a beautiful girl who is walking alone like herself

She wore a sleeveless tunic with a high collar and a pleated skirt that fell to her knees while her bȧrė feet were covered with sandals, a rather neutral wardrobe that was neither coquettish nor mundane. If released from the ponytail that trailed down the front side along her left shoulder, her hair would have fallen to waist length. Her large eyes that were slightly

uplifted along the corners flitted about any effort, giving the impression of a large feline on the prowl.

Today Emilia wants to go out alone because Arthur and Abby are going to FLT with Tatsuya for upgrading Arthur's CAD, as for Echidna she is in the basement doing her experiment like usual. So Emilia grabs a white robe with a purple line and wears it before going out, this robe is imbued with various magic by Echidna such as spell to make other people can't recognize the one who wears it except and much other magic. It's like the magical robe made by Roswaal but it was more advanced because the wearer face can be seen by people who he or she permitted.

"She is not the one who uses magic, right?" Emilia didn't have a special eye like Arthur who can see through an illusion so if the other side didn't reveal themselves first then there is no way for her to know about their position or how many of them in there

"There are six people over there, you must be careful if you want to interfere I can't pinpoint their location because I can not go out of here" Puck's voice is heard inside her mind "She is fallen to some type of illusion it seems when she is alone they will act, I can't materializes and help you so you must really really careful, Lia"

"I understand, Puck" Emilia prepare to use her CAD and active her magic if something is going wrong so she looks at the girl and waits patiently, during the instance that the road was devoid of vehicles and pedestrians, the eyes that followed the young girl transformed into figures that surrounded the girl.

"Who... Who are you guys!?" the young girl screamed at the silently approaching men

Emilia release a volley of ice crystals and hurl it to the six men who surround the girl, even if the ice crystals is blunt and didn't make them bleed it was fast enough and make them lost their consciousness, seeing they lost their consciousness and the gun they hold is fallen to the ground Emilia freezing all of the guns before running to the girl who is seating on the ground maybe because she is very shock after surround by the men.

"Can you stand?" Emilia reached out for her hand without waiting for a response.

"We best leave here soon, I afraid they have reinforcements, this way" the girl must have a strong will because she didn't become hysteric or even have a sign of tears in her eyes, after nodding in reply to Emilia's words, she grasped her hand and scrambled to her feet.

"Thank you"

The girl expresses her gratitude to Emilia and running along with her, even if she can't see the face of her savior it's clear the other party is helping her so there is no reason for not following her savior.

➡️➡️➡️

"Mmm... where we are going now?" Emilia turn her head and ask the girl she saved before awkwardly

"Eh? Didn't it was you who bring me here?" The girl is confused about why her savior asking after she brought her to the bus station

"Mmm... how I say it... ng... it was my first time going out alone... so I didn't even know where it was... so there is no way I know where we need to go now... sorry?" Emilia deactivate her magic and the other girl can see her savior's face

"My name is Emilia, just Emilia. Please to meet you, Lin" Emilia accept her hand and introduce herself

"So you're Emilia... no wonder you look very familiar to me" Lin feel quite surprised and seems thinking about something in her mind

"Have we meet before?" Seeing her reaction Emilia think Lin knows her before so she asks her curiously

"Ah... no, I just see you in Nine Schools Competition, yes I see you there"

"Oh I see... speaking of which, we need to leave this area because I think the one who after you will give up just because we successfully defeat them before"

"I can't leave this area, I have an appointment with someone here... I'm sorry"

"You can't send them messages?"

"Owing to a few pressing reasons, I am unable to directly contact the other person" Lin raised her eyes and wore a slightly perplexed smile.

"Are you making an appointment with other people to leave this area together?"

"Rainbow...Bridge? But I didn't see there is a waterfall around this area so how can we arrive at the Rainbow Bridge?" Emilia tilted her head and look at Lin confusedly

"... it's not Rainbow Bridge like what in your mind... it was a name of iconic structure in this area" Lin slightly feeling helpless because of her savior attitude, if not look at her innocent face she will think Emilia is stalling time here and make her pursuers is coming

"Oh, ah, yes, that Bridge, I know it too... Let's go, if we can arrive there then you can meet with your acquaintance faster and leave this area" Emilia grab Lin's hand and walk but Lind didn't budge from her place "What happened Lin? Don't worry if there are some bad people coming I will take care of them for you"

"Rainbow Bridge is on another way... I didn't know how you can confidently say you will help me when you didn't even know the direction we should head..."

With so much embarrassment Emilia and Lin walk to the Rainbow Bridge direction

"If I meet with my acquaintance and leave this area then how about you?" Remembering Emilia didn't know where she is right now Lin feel worried about her instead of her own condition

"You didn't need to worry, I can call Arthur and stay still until he comes and picks me up"

"Are you referring to the male MVP of Nine Schools Competition?"

"Yes, it's him. Honestly, if he is here we can leave this area easily..."

"The strongest person I know... I suppose?"

Lin stop walking and look at her surroundings and then she notices something is going awry

"Hei... Emilia, isn't this strange?"

"Strange?"

"I get the feeling that no one has been looking at us for a while..."

When Emilia hear what Lin say, she looks around and feels there is magic being used in the surrounding

"Mental interference magic?"

From the pedestrian move without caring about them and avoid them unconsciously is something that can be achieved by mental interference magic, Emilia prepares her magic because it was not a good sign.

As if on cue, men dressed in the pitch black and wearing dark sunglasses materialized all around them and half surrounded Emilia and Lin. One of the men in black stepped in front of the two of them.

The man pulled out a black card holder with those words. He opened it to show the documents to Emilia who has her face cover by magic and makes the man can't recognize her.

"We will take responsibility for protecting Miss Richardson. What happens beyond here is official business, so please leave immediately."

If the other person capable to have a magic that can hide facial features from eyes and cameras protect their target and it can turn to be quite problematic for them so persuade other people to leave is the best choice.

But instead of backing off or answer the men in black Emilia turn her back and look at Lin who gripped her hand tightly

"Do you want to go with them?"

"I... didn't want..."

"Then you need to leave it to me..." Emilia smiled at her direction and the moment she says it a wall of ice crystals separating them from the men in black "let's run!"

Emilia active her magic and use self acceleration magic on Lin and herself and then she took out her terminal and make a call

"Arthur, please help me, there is a group of people called themselves from kidnapping control agency or something along that line wants to catch my friend here!" When Arthur receives the call she explains her current situation to Arthur, and for Arthur...
