Red left quickly after delivering his speech. As for what option Indomitable Knight is going to choose, he had no idea.
Right now he was dressed in casual clothes while waiting by the side of the road. From time to time the ladies passing by would stop in their tracks or turn their heads when they saw his appearance making Red quirk his eyebrows in wonder. Red had been waiting for some time already for the appearance of a recruit.
Though this recruit is not as famous as Indomitable Knight in his previous life, she's not far off either. Wielding the four sacred elements, few people were able to contend with her in a one-on-one fight, and when it comes to group fights she shines even more with her plethora of area of effect (AoE) spells.
Unlike the case of Indomitable Knight, Red had no prior knowledge about this person's background or whereabouts in the real world. He only manages to catch a glimpse of her in this same location when he was commuting to work previously.

Sumeru felt that she was in a nightmare.
Originally she traveled to City H to meet with her boyfriend, Kurt, for a surprise visit, however, when Sumeru arrived at Kurt's apartment she was dumbstruck by the scene of her boyfriend doing another woman. Her legs moved on their own as she tried hard to control the tears that stream down her eyes.
Having an idea Sumeru turned her head upwards to stop the tears from falling. Doing so unconsciously made her open her eyes, and as she did so she managed to catch a glimpse of her surroundings and the people around her. She watched a lady look in her direction with a horrified face. She seems to be saying something to her but a ringing in Sumeru's ear prevented her from hearing what it was so she looked at the source of that ringing only to see a black vehicle speeding her way.
Bang~
Sumeru's vision goes dark as she feels the world go upside down while memories of her life flashed through her mind in an instant. She felt herself colliding with something hard and firm and guessed that even if she didn't die she would be a cripple for the rest of her life.
However, instead of fearing the likely outcome of what transpired, Sumeru instead welcomed the thing that hit her with arms wide open. Accepting her situation made her regain her calm and her ability to think rationally so she was able to notice something when she sniffed with her nose.
_Hmm... fragrant_
"What the fuck! I didn't expect truck-kun to try and poach my talent!!"
Hearing a voice that sounded beside her, Sumeru slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was a face that she would never forget in her entire life. Fair white skin with eyes the color of the wine. His shoulder-length red hair cascades down his broad shoulder as sweat could be seen trickling down his muscular neck.
Gulp~
Sumeru's face turned red as the man turned his attention to her who was the source of the sound. However, the man seemed unconcerned about it as he checked her body for injuries. Watching his focused face made the man all the more handsome in Sumeru's eyes. She instantly forgot the fact that she almost died and the pain that Kurt inflicted on her moments ago as they were pushed at the back of her mind.
After some time an ambulance and local authorities appear at the location of the incident. They ask Sumeru and the people who witnessed what happened a bunch of questions and take their statements. What disappointed her however was the fact that the red-haired man disappeared like he was never there in the first place and even the statement of onlookers didn't have any mention of the handsome man.
Sumeru felt her nightmare come to an end as she felt an indescribable emotion bloom in her heart. Clutching a piece of paper in her hand, she repeated the parting words of the red-haired man with a gentle smile on her gorgeous face.
"See you in another world"
