"Are you sure...that you can find her here?"

In front of a bar in a small town in Britannia, Li Yalin looked at Hannah next to him, with a speechless expression on his face.

When he came to Britannia this time, he first docked the Shigure at the 501 base and let his witches rest for a night. He waited until the next day to ask Mina to prepare a sidecar for him.

The motorcycle, carrying Hannah, began a journey to find Elizabeth.

But what happened? It was noon, and under the guidance of Hannah, he came to this small town in Britannia and was taken to a bar.

Faced with this situation, how could he not be speechless? How could he not be helpless?

It's noon, girl! Is the bar open for you at noon?

"I'm sure."

Looking at Hannah again, this expressionless Carlsland girl nodded seriously towards Li Yalin. Although her expression did not change much, she clearly told him that her guidance was absolutely correct.

"Then... let's go in and take a look."

Seeing that Hannah just nodded in confirmation and didn't explain much, Li Yalin could only keep his speechlessness in his heart, turned around and pushed the door of the bar, and oh, it really opened.

If that's the case, then just go in and have a look, you're here anyway.

Walking into the bar with Hannah one after another, Li Yalin found that the light in the bar was really dark. It was obviously noon, but the dusty glass blocked a large part of the sunlight.

It is even said that there is a small oil lamp burning just in front of the bar of the bar, which finally allows people to see the layout of the bar clearly.

Behind the bar of the bar, an old man dressed as a messenger, about sixty years old, was carefully wiping the wine glass.

Just as Li Yalin thought, at this time, even if the bar was open, there would be no customers. The whole bar felt empty and lifeless.

“Welcome.”

The moment Li Yalin pushed open the bar door, the copper bell placed on the door rang with a crisp sound, attracting the attention of the old man behind the bar.

However, when he saw the guests arriving, he simply said welcome and did not stop wiping the wine glasses at all.

Is there really no problem in a place like this?

Li Yalin muttered in his heart, but his eyes couldn't help but look around.

Huh? There are actually guests?

His eyes shifted to the shadowed corner on the left side of the bar, where a figure whose appearance was unclear was sitting there with several wine glasses in front of him.

Although he could not determine the identity of the other party, Li Yalin subconsciously determined that the other party was definitely a woman!

This is the sixth sense of being a devil, and others cannot learn it.

Is that the Elizabeth F. Beilein you are looking for?

Since he was not very sure, Li Yalin did not act rashly, but took Hannah to the bar and found a seat to sit down.

"Hannah, what would you like to drink? I'm treating you."

Now that they are all here, Li Yalin is not in a hurry, smiles at Hannah, and generously expresses that he is treating the guests and there is no need to be polite to him.

"A glass of ice water."

Well... come to the bar and drink ice water, girl, you are really creative.

Seeing Hannah ordering a glass of ice water with a nonchalant expression, Li Yalin was unable to complain, but the old man behind the bar was very calm and quickly turned around and gave Hannah a glass of ice water.

Apart from anything else, the service attitude is really good.

"Is it just ice water? How about something else?"

If it was an underage girl, Li Yalin would definitely stop by and not persuade her too much, but Hannah was not too young, and it was completely normal to have some drinks at the bar.

Li Yalin was never stingy with his subordinates. He dismissed Hannah with a glass of ice water or something like that. If this matter spread, he would feel embarrassed himself.

"No, just ice water. You can't drink alcohol during the mission. This is discipline."

Nani?

What is this?

Have you been lectured by your subordinates?

Hannah's words left Li Yalin speechless. It was obviously his good intentions, but it didn't matter that he didn't appreciate it, but he actually used such words to refute him.

this……

Well, as expected of the old-fashioned and serious Carlsland girl, you win!

"Bring me a beer. I want it cold."

Li Yalin was a little discouraged because of Hannah's words, but he didn't worry about it.

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers and asked the old man behind the bar for a beer. After the beer was brought to him, he quickly picked up the beer and walked to the left corner of the bar.

"Can I buy you a drink?"

After getting closer, Li Yalin was absolutely sure that the person sitting in the corner drinking was definitely a woman.

Unfortunately, the light was too poor. Even if he got closer, he couldn't fully see the other person's face. He could only roughly tell that the other person had a beautiful face.

Well, he must be a pretty pretty person.

"Can't."

"..."

Very good, the conversation failed.

As for Li Yalin, he has no experience in striking up conversations, and he rarely comes to bars like this one.

If it weren't for talent, he wouldn't have said this to buy you a drink, but the result was good. He finally said it, but was rejected instantly.

This is too shocking!

Coach, what should we do next?

He scratched the back of his head and looked at the woman sitting opposite. If the time and place were different, Li Yalin would definitely turn around and leave.

But this time, he couldn't leave, at least until confirmation was made, he couldn't leave.

"Lieutenant Elizabeth-f-Belling?"

"Who are you?"

After rejecting Li Yalin's approach, the woman was very precious and did not say another word, nor did she urge him to leave. This made Li Yalin who was standing there very embarrassed.

But no matter how embarrassed he was, he had to say what needed to be said.

And just after he said Elizabeth's name, the other party immediately reacted. In the darkness, a sharp gaze was locked on Li Yalin.

This kind of momentum is definitely that of a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles!

That’s right! You’ve found the right person!

To be honest, Li Yalin really didn't expect that Hannah's guidance was right, and he actually found the former Britannia ace in the bar.

Moreover... there were several wine glasses in front of her.

Is it possible that Elizabeth is an alcoholic?

Suddenly, Li Yalin had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Elizabeth."

Before Li Yalin could answer, Hannah also walked over from the direction of the bar, and easily revealed the other party's identity.

"Hannah? Why are you here?"

As soon as Hannah spoke, Elizabeth across from her also recognized the voice of her former comrade-in-arms. To be honest, in this dark corner, they could identify each other just by their voices. This shows that the relationship between the two is more than just comrades-in-arms.

Is that simple?

But no matter what, it is a good thing to have found the right owner, so don’t think too much about the rest of the details.

"We are here specifically to find you."

Without Li Yalin opening his mouth, Hannah took the initiative to answer. After all, it was a former comrade (Ji You?). Facing Elizabeth, Hannah's voice also showed some emotional fluctuations.

"Looking for me? What do you want to do with me, a retired witch?"

If it was just Hannah who came to Elizabeth alone, she would probably treat her as an old friend, but Li Yalin appeared among them, and he just called her by his military rank, which explains a lot of problems.

At least Elizabeth has noticed it.

"That's it, Second Lieutenant Beilin. We hereby sincerely invite you to join our army."

In this case, Li Yalin always feels that it is better to say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush, otherwise, I am afraid it will have the opposite effect.

It was just his directness that made Elizabeth across from him burst into laughter.

"Join your army? Although I don't know who you are, are you trying to make me happy? As a retired witch, what other value can I use?"

What Elizabeth said at this time is the reality of this world. When witches were still witches, they were naturally a valuable resource for the country. But after losing their magic power, they were no different from ordinary women, let alone being taken seriously.

If it is those witches who have become famous, they may be popular after losing their magic power, but for ordinary witches, retirement is basically equivalent to unemployment. The best possibility is to quickly return to their hometown to get married and have children, and spend this life as an ordinary woman.

As for Elizabeth, a troubled witch who has made countless achievements but is annoying to her superiors, let alone expect to be treated poorly.
