...So Flynn wasn't
in there, either.

So who is this knight, exactly?

He's Yuri's friend.

Hmmm, “your” friend?
That must be a pain.

Huh?

Never mind. So
what brings him
to this town?

He was looking for a mage to
repair Halure's barrier blastia.

Ohh...that rookie...
He came to see me, too.

Flynn did? Was he all right?

Yeah, I guess.

You guess?

Since he's a knight, I'm sure he got
some mage or another to help.
Maybe he's already back in Halure?

...Oh, no...

Well? Do you trust me yet?

I don't think Rita's the
sort of person to steal.

Vouch for her character all you like,
but that doesn't prove her innocence.

But...!

Don't bother trying to make him believe
me. But, I really didn't do it, y'know.

Hmph. Well, I guess research seems
to fit you better than robbery.

Yuri isn't very good at expressing his feelings.

...What a weirdo.

I'm going to go let the city guards
know about what happened.
Go and wait for me in my lab.

I don't think those stubborn
guards will let us pass
through the entrance.

True. Then take
this with you.

Show this to the guard and
they should let you through.

Thanks.

Got it? Don't leave town
without my permission
or you'll be sorry!
