Sei Itō had a sunny smile on his face. His skin was good, his looks were young, and he was dressed appropriately. Even the Britannia's court etiquette teachers couldn't find any fault with it. All of this instantly made Cecil blush. She pulled her hand back in a panic and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't know you."
"Of course, it's just my one-sided admiration for Miss Cecil." Sei Itō straightened his body and smiled at Cecil.
"Oh, so it's you. I thought it was Cecil's lover." Lloyd, who had appeared beside the two of them at some point in time, teased them with his peculiar voice.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Other people might be afraid of Lloyd, but Cecil wasn't.
Lloyd shrugged and turned to Sei Itō. "Tell me, why did you take the initiative to come here?"
"Earl Lloyd, do you still remember what I said to you at Ashford Academy?" Sei Itō smiled.
"Oh? New technology? "Lloyd pushed the round rimless glasses on his nose and said with a serious expression.
"Yes." Ito Sei nodded, then turned his head to look at the people coming and going in the surroundings without saying a word.
"I hope what you said can surprise me." Loyd immediately discerned the meaning of Ito Sei's actions and nodded slightly.
"I won't disappoint you." Sei Itō smiled.
Then, Lloyd, Cecil, and Sei Itō left the [Special Dispatch Guide Technical Department]'s lab. They came to a small, quiet room and sat on the chairs on both sides of the round glass table in the center of the living room.
After the three of them sat down, Ito Sei pretended to take out a stack of information from his arms and put it on the table. He then leaned over and pushed it in front of Lloyd, looking at him with a smile.
Lloyd straightened his body and reached for the information on the table to read. The documents were still the most basic information that Sei Itō took out from the alien technology in the black sphere and cut out the key data. But even so. As a researcher who had been in the field for many years, he could see the authenticity of the information and speculate whether the final effect was real or not.
"Interesting, very interesting." The documents weren't long. Lloyd quickly finished reading and muttered to himself with a face full of interest. At the same time, he casually passed the information he had finished reading to Cecil, who was beside him, for her to read.
"What's your objective?" After reading the information, Lloyd returned to his lazy self. He rested his elbow on the chair's armrest and supported his cheek with his palm. His body was tilted as he looked at Sei Itō.
"I want to invite Dr. Lloyd and Miss Cecil to join my research team." Itō Sei put his left leg on his right leg, crossed his fingers on his knees, and looked at Lloyd quietly.
"Eh eh? Me too? "Cecil, who was seriously reading the documents, raised her head and looked at Sei Itō in surprise.
"Of course. Although Miss Cecil's reputation isn't prominent, in the entire world, your research ability is definitely one of the best. Also, without Miss Cecil, with Dr. Lloyd's personality, it would be difficult for the other members to cooperate. Therefore, whether it's for the sake of the research progress or the needs of the work, Miss Cecil is one of the people I must invite. " Ito Mori explained seriously. Then, his expression changed and he said with a smile, "What's more, Miss Cecil is a great beauty. With a beauty like you around, Miss Cecil is a great beauty. With a beauty like you, my mood will be much better. "
Cecil's cheeks blushed again. She lowered her head to look at the documents to hide the blush on her face and said in a low voice, "You talk too much."
"Looks like your ambition isn't small," Lloyd said as he looked at Sei Itō.
"Of course, I've never denied my ambition," Sei Itō shrugged and said, "How about it, Earl Lloyd? Have you decided?"
"Of course," Lloyd sat up straight and looked at Sei Itō.
"Lloyd. Don't forget that we are now soldiers, and we are working for His Highness Schonetzel, "Cecil hurriedly whispered after hearing Lloyd's answer.
"It's fine. If Schonetzel dares to cause trouble for you, I will take responsibility." Although Cecil deliberately lowered his voice, the room was quiet. Coupled with Ito Sei's super sensitive five senses, it was easy for him to hear Cecil's words clearly. Therefore, he smiled and said.
"Oh?" Hearing Sei Itō's promise, Lloyd looked at him with interest.
"As long as you agree to work for me, I will be responsible for your safety. I can guarantee that," Sei Itō said with a confident expression.
"But …" Cecil was about to say something but was immediately interrupted by Lloyd. "With my understanding of His Highness Schonetzel, he won't make things difficult for us, Cecil."
"Then what about the research on Lancelot?" Cecil continued to ask.
"Make a backup of the data and send a copy out. Since we have almost all of the data, we can just find an opportunity to do the rest. Right now, I'm only interested in the information in this copy," Lloyd said in a determined tone as he glanced at the data in Cecil's hands.
"Okay," Cecil weakly replied.
"Welcome to the team," Sei Itō stood up from his seat and extended his hand to Lloyd and Cecil with a smile.
Lloyd and Cecil stood up one after the other and extended their hands to Sei Itō to shake hands.
"When will you be ready?" Sei Itō withdrew his hand and asked Lloyd. The latter immediately turned his gaze to Cecil. Obviously, the progress of the research had always been under Cecil's control. Lloyd was only responsible for the research and didn't care about the rest.
"The backup and transfer of the data can be completed by today. However, some of the transfer procedures are more troublesome, and we also have to consider His Highness Schonetzel's reaction. Therefore, we can't confirm the exact time," Cecil replied.
"Is that so …" Sei Itō frowned and pondered for a moment before finally deciding, "How about this. You can make a backup copy of the data and leave a copy with the [Special Dispatch Guide Technical Department]. Then, you can leave with me. I'll handle the rest."
Cecil obviously couldn't make this decision and turned to look at Lloyd.
"Okay," Lloyd agreed. In fact, he was happy to do so. After all, he still had the title of Earl. Although there weren't many people in his family, his influence was still there. Now that Sei Itō was taking over, it was the best way to eliminate the influence. Of course, he didn't care about the influence. Other than scientific research, Lloyd rarely cared about anything else.
"Okay." Seeing that Lloyd had agreed, Cecil also agreed.
Then, the three of them walked out of the room and returned to the [Special Dispatch Guide Technical Department] to start packing up the data. Looking at the busy Lloyd and Cecil, Sei Itō turned around and walked out of the [Special Dispatch Guide Technical Department]. He picked up the phone and made a call.
"Beep …" The call was picked up.
"What's the matter?" Cornelia's voice came from the phone.
"I have news for you. It's about Zero," Sei Itō looked at the setting sun and said softly.
"I already know," Cornelia said in a heavy tone.
"Veletta …" Sei Itō asked.
"Yes," Cornelia said with certainty.
"It's okay. What I'm about to tell you is different from what she told you." Sei Itō said, "But are you still going to continue attacking the [Black Knights] to capture Zero?"
"Of course, I won't let the [Black Knights] continue to exist," Cornelia said firmly.
"That's good. I have a signal receiver here that can accurately detect the [Black Knights]'s location. If you want to eliminate them, call someone over to take it," Sei Itō said.
"Really?!" Cornelia said loudly.
"Yes," Sei Itō said with certainty.
"Where are you now?" Cornelia asked.
"[Special Dispatch Guide Technical Department]. They can find me when they come. Also, when you attack, don't let anyone hurt the pilot of the red mecha. If there's a chance, let her escape, "Sei Itō said softly.
"Okay," Cornelia agreed.
"Okay, call someone over," Sei Itō said and hung up the phone.
Soon, Guilford in a red knight suit arrived at the [Special Dispatch Guide Technical Department]. He immediately saw Sei Itō standing at the entrance and quickly walked over.
"Your Excellency," Guilford called out.
"Here you go." Sei Itō nodded and took out a palm-sized device that looked like a smartphone from his pocket. He threw it to Guilford and the latter immediately caught it.
"The white dot is the headquarters of the [Black Knights]. The green dot is your own. The device is a little crude, so you'll have to make do with it," Sei Itō said.
"Thank you, sir," Guilford saluted solemnly.
"Go, but don't hurt the red mecha. If there's a chance, let her escape," Sei Itō said again.
"Yes, sir," Guilford nodded and left the [Special Dispatch Guide Technical Department].
"That's Guilford?" Cecil, who was holding a hardwood folder, asked curiously when he saw Guilford leaving.
"Yes," Sei Itō nodded and turned to Cecil, "Is it done?"
"It's all done," Cecil nodded.
"Good, call Dr. Lloyd. We'll leave this place," Sei Itō said.
"Okay," Cecil nodded and returned to the technical department. Not long after, he dragged a large salutation box and walked out of the technical department with a lazy Lloyd. They met up with Sei Itō and left the technical department together. (Welcome, sir. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
