Just moments after Hans defeated one of the Four Fallen Gods, Maxwell the Creator, at St. Lamia Palace...
Phew... Looks like it's almost time.
Sera
I finished work later than expected. I'd better hurry so I don't keep him waiting...
Sera
Hehe, just hang on a bit longer!
Sera
Lin, when did you...
Sera
...um, n-never mind!
Lin
I spent all that time calling her name and just when I thought I had her attention...
Lin
Wait...did she just say something about not wanting to keep someone waiting?
Lin
Who could she be off to see?
Hellooo! Is anyone here? I have something to...
Lin
Better hurry...keep someone waiting...her dear...
Elise
What can't be? Hey, Lin!
Lin
Elise, we have a situation here!
Lin
That embarrassed look on her face... And someone she's off to see after work...
Lin
There's no doubt about it! Sera's headed to meet her boyfriend!
Elise
What? Are you sure? I feel like she's probably just meeting a friend.
Elise
Hans, you agree, right?
Lin
According to my investigation, Sera suddenly began to come to work late more frequently two weeks ago...
Lin
...has seemed tense even as she works, is wistful often...
Lin
...and has begun to sigh in meaningful ways. I've collected testimonies on all of this.
Lin
I feel that all of these have to have been caused by...falling in love!
Elise
When exactly did you carry out this investigation?
Elise
But if Sera really is in love, I'm a bit concerned...
Elise
It's even impacting her work, after all...
Lin
Exactly why, as her friend, I want to solve the problems that are eating at her!
Lin
You'll help, of course, right Elise?
Elise
Huh? Well...I want to help solve her problems if I can, but...
Elise
First off, what do you actually plan to do?
Lin
To begin with, I'm going to tail Sera right now!
Lin
In all likelihood, she's off to meet with this lover of hers again right now.
Lin
So I'm going to see for myself what kind of person it is...
Lin
...and advise Sera about it later if it looks like there's a problem.
Elise
I'm not sure that's a great idea... It sounds like trouble if you get caught in the act...
Lin
It'll be fine! For now, I'll just spy on them from a distance!
Lin
That way, if I see there's nothing wrong, they won't know a thing!
Elise
Hmm... Well, that might be okay, I guess.
Elise
And the demonic beasts around here won't really be a problem, even for me.
Elise
Then again, if Sera does find out...
Lin
Oh well, it's decided! Now let's head out before we lose her!
Elise
Lin! I didn't even say that I was going...
Lin
You'll help me out too, right, Hans? I can always count on you!
