He wasn't sure.
After all, only Chiara herself can understand her barrier ball.
"It doesn't seem to be."
The witch managed to distract herself and corrected: "There is indeed a little more in it."
A little... unexpected surprise.
An undisguised joy appeared on Chiara's face, and her eyes that reflected the enchantment ball even gave people the illusion that they were glowing. She held the enchantment ball cherished and looked like she wanted to get close to kiss it.
Seeing that the witch's attention was returning to the barrier ball, Lensak had no choice but to take the initiative and continue the topic.
"So what does this mean?"
Since we have to "retract the preface", we must have a new conclusion, right?
The witch was absent-minded, "It means..."
The knight keenly caught the perfunctory meaning in the protracted tone. He relaxed instantly and stopped rushing. He sat back down and picked up the wine glass again.
"Before answering this question, maybe you should answer my other question first... Since you have a way to further detect it, why didn't you do anything when you came to Area 13?"
Chiara was speechless for a moment.
...forgot about it.
She laughed and tried to excuse herself.
"I trusted my own judgment too much. Real knowledge comes from practice. I will do it next time."
Rensak's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard her answer, and he didn't even move his eyes.
The witch and the knight looked at each other for a moment, then "tsk" impatiently.
"Well, the truth is always unpleasant and hurts one's self-esteem...Who told you to listen? This young man, are you sure you know how much you weigh?"
Chiara held her barrier with one hand, like holding a crystal ball. She looked at Rensak, with almost cold reason flowing in her eyes.
"Clear the water in your mind. You can't even detect the other party's existence. Where do you have the confidence to keep 'them'? If I do something at that time, everyone will really have no way to go." Got off."
Weak people should have the awareness not to cause trouble. When it comes to her "survival aesthetics", Chiara speaks plausibly.
"Besides, the other party had indeed left at that time. I just didn't give you the chance to track him."
"Give the enemy a chance to escape, and sometimes it's each other who makes it happen."
Rensak continued to stare at the witch until Kiara waved her hand in annoyance and confessed.
"Okay, I admit, someone told me, 'One more thing is worse than one less thing.' Just like you believed in the prophecy and turned to me for help, I also believed in this prophecy and did not ask for trouble."
"Since I'm back anyway, why do I still have to make myself miserable?"
Unexpectedly, the answer went round and round, and finally fell on the "prophecy". Lensak suddenly felt complicated.
He pondered for a moment and then looked at Chiara.
"Now that you've decided not to cause trouble for yourself, what about just now?"
"I can vaguely feel some breath without using the barrier, but it's just not very accurate. I didn't feel anything just now."
"And judging from the time, if the other party is still here, then it is not up to us to decide whether to be hostile or not."
People who are already in the whirlpool will naturally not have to worry about being pulled under the water.
Chiara finished explaining her thoughts of action in a few words. When Rensak fell silent, she cut to the chase and dropped a bomb.
"I probably know what you encountered."
Lensak didn't expect to get the answer so soon. He refreshed and his expression became serious.
The witch looked slow and calm, as if she couldn't feel the urging gaze from the other side, and even her tone of voice was so steady that it made people tickle their teeth.
"Before I saw this thing, I wasn't completely sure, but after seeing it, I'm basically 60% sure."
"After all, the things that can make the prophecy clearly point to me are really limited."
"If the prophecy hadn't suddenly gone crazy, there must be a reason why you must choose me."
She had been prepared for this on the way here. When she entered Area 13 and noticed the unusual aura, her suspicions became even deeper.
But at the same time, the witch's keen intuition also warned her that this was a big trouble.
So Chiara had to admit that she did slack off for a while.
As shown just now, if she had really used her true skills at that time, she would have at least been able to detect the direction in which the other party was evacuating.
If Rensak had been more mobile, he might have discovered something.
But the instinct to call the police frantically told Chiara that the other party was probably not someone she could easily offend. She considered herself a moderate among witches, and did not want to get herself involved for a commission.
Anyway, the person has been rescued, and the other party has indeed chosen to evacuate, so why bother asking for trouble.
So Chiara used the excuse of needing a rest and left the scene.
Without her help, Lensak's vast but limited magical attainments would have resulted in nothing.
It wasn't until Chiara woke up again, her instinct to call the police subsided, and she didn't feel anything unusual, that she dared to release the barrier and conduct in-depth confirmation.
As expected, the other party has completely evacuated.
The stone in Chiara's heart has finally fallen.
As for Lensak's mood, that was not something she needed to consider.
Doesn't anyone really think that with that little friendship and the reward from Sosou, he can get a witch to work for him?
It was too beautiful to think that she was a witch but not a saint. She was still a weak witch with limited abilities.
They don't have the ability of those freaks to destroy the world, nor do they have the ability to shock the past and the present.
It was Lensak's fault that he fell in love with her.
Weak people must have the consciousness of being weak. If they don't have the ability, they still want to cause trouble. Isn't it just asking for trouble?
Rensak rubbed his eyebrows and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was because he had been the one giving orders for so long that he was used to subordinates who would go all out for his orders, and he forgot how unstable factors could be.
He should have considered that the overly independent personalities of these witches would add a lot of obstacles.
And it can't be said that Chiara didn't think carefully, she just stood more in her own position.
After a moment of silence, he went straight to the point.
"Tell me first, what is that?"
"what have you found?"
Chiara blinked.
Lunsak suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next second, this premonition came true.
"How do you say this question? It's just like this. You may not understand it well, but the meaning is indeed the same. People who understand can understand without asking. People who don't understand won't understand even if they ask. You have to If you ask me what it is…that’s exactly what it is.”
The magic automatically encrypted the message and translated it into a twisted language. Chiara spread her hands, showing a helpless expression.
The room fell into an audible silence.
Wrapped in the suffocating atmosphere, Lensak, who had just dealt with Dean not long ago, subtly felt a boomerang piercing his body.
