Elise felt like she was a really good person, that she cared so much about Rumia.
As Miriam's story came to a temporary end, both of them sighed in unison. After all, with Rumia's whereabouts unknown, their longing naturally turned into worry.
“Miss Rumia will be alright,” Elise said softly.
"Yes, that's what I think too. Now, can you tell me about what happened when you were with Rumia?"
"of course."
Iris seemed a little dazed, and then began to tell Miriam about her time with Rumia.
As she recounted the past, her expression held not only nostalgia and longing but also a hint of admiration.
He recounted his sweet past with Rumia to her devoted fans.
As Miriam's expression gradually turned bitter and jealous, a barely perceptible smile curved at the corners of Elise's lips. The mark of pleasure deep in her pupils seemed to surface uncontrollably, but Miriam was unaware of it.
Volume 1: Chapter 244 I Was Here First
"That's about it." Elise told Rumia about everything that had happened between her and Rumia, including their dates.
She deliberately showed her affection for Rumia while speaking, and the slight concealment made everything she said seem more genuine.
Seeing the nostalgia in Iris's eyes, Miriam took a deep breath and then forced a smile: "I really envy your relationship with Sister Rumia."
"May I ask if there's any news about Miss Rumia?" Iris asked Miriam with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
The moment she saw the other person shake their head, the expectation in Iris's eyes turned into disappointment. She sighed softly, then clenched her small fist and said earnestly, "I believe Miss Rumia will be alright."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
Since there was no news of Rumia from Elise, Miriam decided not to stay any longer. She was feeling very conflicted and needed to find a place to calm down.
Why, why did it turn out like this? I was the one who came first!
Watching Miriam's somewhat forlorn figure as she left, Elise ultimately couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
To be honest, having played the game, she knew very well that although Rumia and Miriam had a good relationship, Rumia only treated her as a younger sister. However, as a player, she could control her character to forcibly win over Miriam.
After Miriam left, the maid slowly walked to her mistress's side. Seeing the smile on her face, the maid couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "Miss, is something making you happy?"
"more or less."
Elise didn't explain, but simply ruffled the little maid's hair before getting up and leaving the reception room.
Just as she was about to return to her room, a flash of light appeared, followed by Rumia's familiar voice beside her: "Master, I'm back~"
As Rumia spoke, she had already tightly embraced Iris's hand, her eyes revealing an undisguised desire for her.
Upon seeing this, the little maid following behind Elise's face immediately darkened.
How come this shameless saintess trial ended so quickly!
"Your trial ended faster than I expected."
"Maybe I'm just too eager to see my master~" Rumia rubbed against Iris, a faint blush rising on her fair cheeks.
Even just a casual touch made her feel like she was about to catch fire.
"You rude scoundrel, release the young lady at once!"
As expected, the fight between the little maid and Rumia resumed, but both of them were quite restrained, otherwise the manor would have been in trouble.
It's clear from their entanglement that Rumia has successfully advanced from the fifth rank to the sixth rank since her return.
Moreover, he doesn't seem to have just been promoted; he must have been promoted for a few days and has basically mastered his own abilities.
After the two had finished their playful banter, Elise said calmly, "Tell me about the trial."
"Ok."
Rumia made no attempt to hide anything from Iris. She briefly explained the trial to Iris, which was largely in line with Iris's expectations.
"By the way, I also discovered something strange in that ancient battlefield this time."
Elise knew exactly what Lumia meant by "strange," since it was a place Elise had deliberately arranged for her to go. However, she still waited quietly for Lumia's report.
Rumia didn't keep them in suspense any longer; she took out a memory crystal from her spatial ring.
As magic was infused, the image-recording crystal instantly displayed the recorded scene before everyone's eyes.
That was a corner of an ancient battlefield, surrounded by decaying corpses. The most conspicuous of these were the remains of two angels who had perished together. Although the armor on these two angels had decayed, the emblem of the Eternal Church could still be seen on it.
“I discovered that the two groups fighting on that ancient battlefield seem to be followers of the Eternal Church, and there are even angels from the church. I searched the entire ancient battlefield, but I couldn’t find out why they were killing each other.” Rumia frowned slightly, then looked at Iris with a curious gaze.
In her opinion, the simplest thing to do is to ask Elise directly about things she doesn't understand, since Elise knows a lot.
"There are some things you'd better not know. I can only tell you that the Eternal Church once experienced an internal strife, and I doubt the church would have kept any records of it."
"Internal strife?" Rumia tried to recall the details, but couldn't remember anything.
"That's right. Your journey to that ancient battlefield was a remnant of that internal strife. If nothing unexpected happened, you should have received some guidance, right?"
“Yes, after the trial, I found a map deep in the ancient battlefield.” Rumia said, taking out a map directly. She thought Iris would be very curious.
But Elise didn't look at the map at all. After all, maps were the most useless thing to her. There was practically no place in the world she didn't know.
"The map points to a refuge, the refuge of the Eternal Church. If you have time, you can go and take a look. Maybe you can find the answers you are looking for inside."
Hearing Elise's words, Lumia was also taken aback. She could clearly sense that Elise probably knew what was in the place indicated by the map, but she didn't tell her directly.
“There are some things I might tell you that you might not believe, so it’s better to see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears. Although this may not necessarily bring you the truth, it’s at least more convincing than if I tell you directly.”
“I will believe whatever Master says~” Rumia said without hesitation.
Iris smiled and didn't say much. She simply took out the conversation she had secretly recorded with Miriam and began playing it in front of Rumia.
Rumia, being the former saintess, showed no shame upon hearing Miriam's praise; in fact, she wore an expression that seemed to say, "That's how it should be."
All I can say is that they have pretty thick skin.
"Did Miriam come looking for you?"
"Yes, you came back right after she left."
"That's a real shame. I was hoping to tell her about the master's virtues and see if I could get her to work for you," Lumia said with some regret.
"Let's forget about that kind of thing. If both of the previous saintesses disappeared after contacting me, even if I'm not a suspect, the next person to talk to me will probably be an inquisitor from the Eternal Church."

Volume 1: Chapter 245 I suggest you handle this yourself.
"If there's nothing else, go and rest."
Elise figured Rumia must be quite tired by now, so she patted her on the shoulder and prepared to leave.
But at that moment, Rumia followed closely behind, a look of pleasure appearing in her eyes: "Master, what should I do if I overused the power of pleasure during this trial?"
"I suggest you handle this yourself." Elise smirked. In her opinion, Rumia's trial didn't require any power of pleasure at all; it was just intentional.
As expected, Rumia wasn't disappointed. She continued, "Then, can I think about doing that kind of thing with Master?"
Even Iris was shocked after hearing Lumia's words. How could that holy saintess have become like this?
She thought to herself that she hadn't deliberately tried to change the other person's mind, so this situation could only be attributed to Rumia's nature.
As a saintess, she needed to suppress her true nature, but after falling into Elise's arms, she no longer needed to care about those formalities.
"Whatever you want," Elise said, a slight smirk playing on her lips.
"Thank you, Master~" Rumia watched Iris's departing figure with excitement, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.
Thinking about it secretly is a completely different feeling from Elise agreeing to let me think about it freely.
Rumia's face flushed, and then she turned into a beam of light and disappeared from the spot. At the same time, a silent barrier was set up in her room.
……
The past few days have flown by, and the date of the college exchange conference is drawing ever closer.
Many people from other academies have now arrived in Seria, making the already bustling city even more lively.
Elise, who had become weak from using the power of the divine skin, has recovered during these few days of rest.
But Elena, who should have returned by yesterday at the latest, is still missing today.
Elise had tried to contact the other party, but it seemed that the other party's area was not within the service area of the Bug Network. She guessed that Elena must have some kind of opportunity of her own.
As for danger, Elise wasn't too worried, after all, Elena was the protagonist, and one who had awakened her past life memories.
Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any problems, unless... you encounter another protagonist.
Just as Elise was pondering which protagonist she would encounter if she were to run into one, Nora burst into her room in a flurry of activity.
Elise glanced at Nora and said with a hint of exasperation, "Couldn't you have knocked before coming in?"
"Oh right, I forgot by accident." Nora scratched her head a little embarrassedly, then went back out and knocked on the door again.
Elise twitched her lips, momentarily at a loss for words, and sighed helplessly, saying, "Fine, come in."
Nora pushed the door open again and looked at Elise, who was still wearing her nightgown.
"You came to see me so excitedly, is there something you need?"
"Hmm, the people from the kingdom who came to participate in the academy exchange have arrived, and it seems they've had some conflict with our people. The academy's arena is quite lively right now. Do you want to go watch the show?"
Elise wasn't really interested; what was the point of children playing around like this? But considering that Elira was probably among them, Elise slowly got up and said, "Then let's go take a look. Help me comb my hair."
Four "Oh".
Having served as Elise's personal maid for some time, Nora skillfully walked behind Elise and began gently combing her golden hair.
2. In fact, a few days of being a personal maid wouldn't have been enough for Nora to learn these things so quickly, but for some reason, Nora felt a sense of familiarity as soon as she started, as if she had done this kind of thing countless times before.
After Nora skillfully combed her hair, Elise got up and used her changing ring to change into the academy uniform.
Feeling Nora's envious gaze, Elise chuckled and handed her a dress-up ring: "Here you go."
3. "Is this for changing clothes?"
"That's right, didn't you inherit the legacy of a magic knight? It's a good idea to get yourself a set of magic armor to wear and hide your strength."
"Okay, I'll get a set when I get back." Nora put on the changing ring and began to examine it carefully.
It wasn't until Elise pulled her out of the room that she came back to her senses. She and Elise were going to watch other people fight.
There was a teleportation array near Elise's manor, and the two of them used it to travel directly to the academy.
Because of the many academies coming to exchange ideas, the academy area was much more lively than usual, but the security was also much stricter than usual.
This is indeed the Empire's magic academy, but it is also one of the Empire's war machines, and there are some places that students cannot go to.
After being teleported over, the two quickly distanced themselves and continued to pretend that they didn't get along.
After all, Nora had already put a worm in her ear before she arrived, so she could now communicate with Elise directly through the worm.
"It's quite lively here. I wonder if there are any experts out there? I'm itching to get started!"
"Bear with the itching. Once the exchange conference officially begins, you'll have your turn to fight to your heart's content."
"Oh."
Nora knew she couldn't actually do anything right now; she was just saying it.
She looked around and asked curiously, "Do you think there were any agents involved in this academy exchange?"
"No, generally speaking, agents don't get involved in this kind of thing."
After all, activities like student exchanges involve many people and many powerful individuals. Even if the existence of another agent is discovered, killing the other party is not an easy task, and there is also the possibility of being targeted by powerful individuals.
Therefore, agents generally don't join in the fun.
Finding Elira wouldn't be difficult for Elise, since Vivian's informants were keeping an eye on her.
As soon as she was teleported over, someone slipped her a note with Elira's current location written on it.
Right there in the academy's arena.
Elise casually tossed the note into the trash can and headed straight for the arena.
Seeing Elise take action, Nora quickly followed, keeping a safe distance.
Before long, the two arrived at the academy's arena.
The academy's arena was large, but when Elise arrived, there were already quite a few people sitting around, mostly there to watch the show.
As you can see, two students from different academies are already fighting in the arena, but it's all just minor skirmishes. Elise doesn't pay any attention to them at all. Her gaze sweeps across the entire arena and she quickly spots a familiar pale blue color.
