On this side, Lei was pulled over by Ester and Restia for a chat. After all, as sword sprites, neither of them had ever encountered a holy war angel of Lei's kind, so they were quite curious about her. Similarly, Lei had never seen sword sprites, so both sides ended up having a lively conversation.
However, things weren't as good for Ruiko, who had been dragged aside by Kuroko Shirai for a scolding ever since they returned. The lecture included things like how she shouldn't act on her own, should inform them if something happens, and always be cautious... Ruiko listened with a pained expression, having no choice but to appeal to Fang Zheng for mercy.
"Alright, alright, it's my fault this time. Next time, I'll equip each of you with a personal terminal, Ruiko was just unlucky."
