Civilization Guardian Front

She once witnessed the scene where Miss Ace was "alone" with the man.

Although Refiya herself was at the scene at the time, she was tied up and sat in a corner less than three meters away from the center of the incident, but her presence did not affect the two ecstasy at all, and her eyes were covered with a black cloth, so Probably... alone.

Leaving aside the silhouette seen through the screen, Refiya could also imagine what Miss Ais was doing just by the uninterrupted sound of sucking water stains lingering in her ears.

At that moment, the goblin seemed to be able to hear the sound of her own heart being crushed...

Whether it was a long time ago that made her longing for her heart, or some kind of care that had quietly sprouted recently, it all collapsed overnight.

unacceptable...

Forcing her to witness such a cruel scene, what kind of torture could a devil come up with?

It was hard to force myself not to think about it.

As a result, now, in order to talk to Miss Ais, he was once again cut and bruised by the sharp memories.

What an idiot.

Super stupid!

"Hiss... woo..."

"Rafia..."

Ai Si was at a loss and looked at the sobbing junior with red eyes.

...

Help Refia deliver the book to the room.

"Miss Ace, let her digest."

Elfi, who shared the dorm with Refia, persuaded Aisi to stop trying to comfort her roommate with a helpless face.

"But..."

"At this time, sympathy is the cruelest thing."

The red-haired girl spoke with a slightly heavier tone.

(Sigh, even if you explain Refia's complicated psychology clearly, Ms. Ais may find it hard to accept...)

It doesn't matter if you're in a triangle.

However, the situation of the roommate, anyone who looked at it would feel that it was abnormal.

Therefore, she could only politely ask Ai Si to leave.

"...Um."

Ace replied in a slightly depressed mood.

After glancing at Refia who was crying softly while holding the book, she turned and walked out of the room.

From the beginning, the other party was normal, to when he heard that he was alone with Chios, he suddenly reacted with a sad expression.

It's not too late for her to lose sight of the connection.

If that's the case, I really don't have the right to comfort Refia...

Even if there is no intention to hurt others, the process of pursuing happiness itself is walking a narrow road that has to push others into the abyss.

Realizing this, the bright mood brought about by Ais's previous rubbing with Chios could not help but cast a layer of gloom.

With very complicated thoughts, she came all the way to the deputy head's office.

Through the magic stone light seeping from the crack of the door below, she confirmed that the Rivilians were inside.

knock knock...

"Rivelia, do you have time?"

As soon as these words came out, the rustling sound of the quill pen tip across the paper in the room suddenly stopped.

Immediately, the reply from the elf royal family came:

"come in."

Jian Ji pushed the door and entered.

Sitting upright at the desk, Riveria, who was busy checking the account book and the information in the documents at hand, marked a column and finally put down her pen.

"It's been more than an hour since dinner time, where have you been all this time?"

Picking up the teacup beside him, he took a sip of the cold black tea.

She raised her head and looked directly at Ace.

"Not long after the expedition is over, you should rest your body well before exploring the underground..."

"I went to find Chios."

Hearing this, Riveria shook the hand holding the ear of the cup, splashing a few drops of tea.

"You took the initiative to find him?"

"These two days, Chios has been avoiding me..." Ais nodded.

"I asked Chios why, and he told me, because Riveria now sees him as an enemy. Riveria, I don't understand, why are you mad at him?"

Looking back on Refia's abnormality earlier, and then thinking about Velia's abnormality these days.

Seems to be related to Chios as well...

Ace clenched her hands nervously.

"Also, did Riveria ever talk to Chios about me?"

"Varied!?"

Chapter 670 Four? A Pure Trap

After returning to the surface, Riveria is not as idle as other members of the regiment. She needs to review and handle the affairs accumulated during the expedition, as well as the overall income and expenditure records of the family this year.

If he delays on his side, Finn's time waiting for her overall report will inevitably be affected.

Out of a sense of responsibility, even though she really wanted to visit the Piriano Manor immediately, she decided to calm down for the time being and spend three days to finish the more important work before going to Chios for an explanation.

It was originally planned...

The subsequent developments disrupted Riveria's plan.

Always devoting her vacation days to exploring dungeons, never letting go of a single opportunity for self-improvement, she worked so hard that people couldn't help worrying about it. Ai Si, who refused to listen to her persuasion, unexpectedly changed her habit that hadn't changed for nine years.

It stands to reason that Ace knows how to relax, and it is a good thing to learn to allocate time reasonably.

However, Riveria felt a headache when she thought that Ais stayed on the surface to be alone with Chios.

The question raised by Ai Si now seems to confirm her bad premonition...

More than a month ago, Riveria made a request to Chios about Ais's matter, hoping that the young man could spare some time and invite Aisi to go out and relax.

The reason for doing this is because Riveria, Finn, and Grace have all noticed that Ais's affection for Chios has slightly exceeded the scope of friendship.

It was the time when Riveria had the best impression of Chios.

All the conditions are outstanding, excluding the two points that the other party has a lover and has an ambiguous relationship with several girls at the same time, it is basically impeccable.Considering that Chios is still very young, and he doesn't want to be tied to a specific partner early, it is barely understandable that he is somewhat half-hearted in his relationship.

As long as you can calm down after getting married and resolutely cut off your past affairs.

With this in mind, Riveria once thought that it would be okay to add some intersection to the lives of Ais and Chios by her own promotion.

Otherwise, with Aisi's natural personality, I'm afraid it would be difficult to compete to the end with those girls who share her goals.

This is clearly meddling...

Riveria is very clear that she has no legitimacy to intervene in other people's emotional world.

Therefore, she never told anyone about the conversation she had with Chios that day.

But she didn't say it, it doesn't mean Chios won't say it.

If it is a man with deep thoughts and rigorous actions, any information he discloses is often accompanied by a strong purpose, and the possibility of accidentally leaking the truth is almost impossible.

The other party did it on purpose...

Guided Aisi to be curious, and went back to the Twilight Pavilion to ask herself for details.

If Riveria had something to hide, Chios would be able to explain the whole thing to Aiss in a frank manner, even adding a lot of words in his favor.

In this way, trust will ebb and flow, which will further deepen Ais's dependence on Chios.

Even if Riveria answered without reservation, Chios' loss would be minimal. After all, he is not the one who needs to give an explanation for interfering in his private life without telling Aisi.

(Alas, is it because he is too scheming, or I am simply thinking too much...)

The elf royal family sighed secretly.

Being prejudiced and dissatisfied with Chios, it is difficult to objectively evaluate the other party's motives.

"Well, I was talking to him about you..."

After deliberating in her thoughts, she finally chose to confess.

"The day after the abnormal situation in the lower level happened, I went to the base of the Hestia family, hoping that Chios could assist us in our next expedition, but unfortunately he didn't agree..."

After briefly explaining the reason and process of the visit, Riveria quickly got to the point:

"It was natural to talk about you during the chat, and I made a request to Chios, asking him to find you out more often. Whether you two are eating together, shopping, or going out to the city. I hope you, like the members of the Familia, will make good use of your holidays to relax...that's my main purpose."

"The other thing is, I noticed that you have a special affection for Chios, so I decided to create more opportunities for you to get along with him..."

As if several tuning forks were vibrating at the same time, a buzzing sound like tinnitus filled Aisi's mind.

She silently clenched the hem of her skirt.

"So, Chios, he came to me because of Riveria?"

Noticing the girl's mood swings, the elf royal family hurriedly said:

"Ace, it's not..."

"If not, if you think Chios would do these things, why did Riveria ask Chios..."

Until half a minute ago, Ais had never thought that there might be reasons other than concern for Chios' actions.

Now, she's not so sure...

In retrospect, during the nearly two months after the water fans went berserk, I got into an awkward situation because of Chios' protection of the mermaid monster, and I frequently avoided meeting and talking with him.

If it were someone else, they might have given up, but Chios never tires of going to the Twilight Pavilion to meet her again and again.

Among them, how much of it was done for her, and how much was a request from Riveria?

Continue from here...

Could there be other factors involved behind Chios meeting with her and proposing a competition?

Once this variable is added, it is like mixing a drop of ink into clear water.

It was originally very simple and only belonged to the relationship between two people.

Why, did it become like this...

Chios, what do you think about this?

My mind is in a mess.

"Sorry, Riveria..." The girl lowered her head, using the shadow of her bangs to hide the wavering in her eyes.

"I think... go back to your room and rest first."

After finishing speaking, she turned around without waiting for Riveria's reply, opened the office door and walked out.

...

22:06

The main street south of O'Leary, the top floor of the Ward family palace...

Leaning on the granite pillar with his left shoulder and looking into the distance, the young man gently shook his right palm holding the wine glass, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

(Knowing that my relationship may have been deliberately arranged, and the beauty in my heart has disappeared like a bubble. Even if I understand that the other party is thinking of myself, I will still feel angry, sad, and anxious.)

Young girls are often very concerned about "purity", especially in the relationship between the opposite sex. They hope that the closeness of each other comes from the mutual attraction of souls, and they pursue the connection of the same mind.
