Watching Altoria like this, Reiger was just about to say something when he suddenly paused, lifting his eyelids and staring ahead.
"Ah!"
Altoria let out a cry of alarm.
Because Reiger suddenly stopped in his tracks, yanking Altoria, who had been pulling him along, to an abrupt halt.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, in front of Reiger and Altoria, space unfolded like a mirror.
"So you were here?"
With that sneering voice, several figures slowly emerged from within the mirror-like space.
It was Gawain, Lancelot, and Tristan.
The three Elf Knights serving the queen made their appearance together, emerging in front of Reiger and Altoria.
"Ba, checkerboard!"
Upon seeing the three Elf Knights, Altoria cried out to Gawain, who stood on the left.
"...So it really is you, kiddo."
Gawain too stared intently at Altoria, squinting his eyes, and spoke indifferently.
"What? You know each other?"
Tristan, however, was taken aback, looking at Gawain with surprise.
