"Osborne visited Crosbel last year, but it wasn't official, he just had talks with Haru and then he returned home very quickly," Ellie said. ”

"During that time, this matter was still noisy. ”

Lloyd said, "Is that so, Iron Blooded Osborne is a famous person." ”

"The reason for his visit is interesting. Tio said.

"I see, in short, with this information, things that were vague before have become much clearer. Lloyd said.

Ellie: "Well, the ruthless and all-encompassing boss, the second-in-command of the battle-hardened mercenary, and the Haru who has a relationship with them. ”

Randy: "Not only that, but that iron-blooded Osborne, no wonder Crossbell is like this." ”

Lloyd pondered, "That's true. ”

Theo found something else at this time, and she said, "There is something hidden in this crystalline information crystal. ’

"Huh?

Randy said, "So Jonah is still hiding something?"

Theo: 'Well, it seems to be a test if I can spot it, and I'm going to teach him a good lesson next time!'

Theo's ruthless appearance made Lloyd embarrassed.

"Now that you've found out, can you get the data out?" Lloyd said.

"Of course, it's a small thing. Theo replied.

Soon she was done, and looked at the terminal.

Lloyd said, "This is, an underground auction?"

Randy: "That's what Estia said, that Jonah kid was pretty good." ”

Theo: 'It seems that this event is real, and it has something to do with Rubahe. ’

Lloyd nodded: "Well, I thought it was suspicious before, so let's take a look at the information anyway." ”

Check this information: On the last day of the annual inaugural festival, an auction is held by Rubahe.

The Chamber of Commerce chartered Haru's mansion in the resort to hold an auction, and although the auctions were all first-class things, they were all things of unknown origin.

In addition to this, it also entertains many people from surrounding countries, and this event also has the function of an underground social circle.

For Rubahçe, this is an important source of income, and for Haru, it is a good opportunity to make friends with the powerful.

In addition, the security of the auction hall is strictly enforced by the rubache members, and they must have an invitation engraved with a mirror rose before entering.

"It's!" Lloyd said.

Ellie frowned and said, "This kind of event is actually held every year. ”

"But it's really suspicious, although it is said to be held in secret, but the scale of the event is not small. Tio said.

Randy: "No, it's probably strictly restricted, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't go unnoticed." ”

"Exactly. "The person who interjected was the section chief.

"Section Chief, you've worked hard. Lloyd said.

Sergey: "Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to track down to this point on your own, okay, don't talk about it here, I'll tell you about it in that room." ”

Office.

"So that information is correct?" Lloyd said.

Section Chief: "I don't know who found out, but it's quite accurate." ”

Ellie: "But, the headquarters knows, too. ”

"Not everyone knows, but everyone in one subject knows. The section chief said: "Even the guerrilla association of Ou Si and the others have long understood it clearly." ”

"Is this what a wall is called?" Lloyd said.

Section Chief: "It's a huge wall, basically I don't intend to restrict your activities, but only this time, don't interfere." This burden is too heavy for you.

Lloyd: "Why do you say that? ”

Randy said, "It's not so much that the burden is too heavy for us, it's that we can't move at all." ”

The section chief fell silent.

Ellie: "With so many people, the actual host is actually Haru, so I can't create a new ticket." ”

Theo said, 'And they're not endangering civilians, so no one can intervene?'

Lloyd: "But even so. ”

Section Chief: "It's not just you who feel unwilling, especially those people in the first section, who probably grit their teeth with hatred every year, if it's a major event that violates humanity, even if it's a willful thing, the first section will cut them off before the association acts, but where is it except for the unknown source of the auction items, it seems to be this luxurious party."

"In that case, we can't act?" Lloyd said.

"Truth be told, if you act rashly, there's a good chance that the Support Section will be destroyed. The section chief said, "Anyway, that's what happened. ””

Randy: "Ugh. ”

Theo: "How so. ”

The section chief suddenly spoke: "I won't force you to accept it, but sometimes you have to face the reality and recognize the limits of your own abilities." ”

And as long as you always keep this unwillingness in mind, one day you will be able to wait for a turnaround, as long as you don't give up. ”

Lloyd: "I see, we'll stop there. ”

Randy: "Ugh. ”

After that, the third day of the memorial festival passed.

Theo's past, the story of his brother he never knew, the mysterious man named Kitten.

Detailed information about Rubahce, as well as auctions that could not be stopped.

It was a twisted symbol of Crosbell, and these things swirled in Lloyd's mind repeatedly, and before he knew it, he sank into sleep.

The next day.

"Lloyd?"

"Hmm. ？”

"Hurry up for a meeting!"

Hearing someone call to himself, Lloyd woke up.

"Ah, good morning Lloyd. "It's Ellie.

Lloyd said, "Well, good morning. ”

"I guess you must have thought too much last night and couldn't fall asleep?"

"Haha, I've seen through, but Ellie, are you okay?" Lloyd said

Ellie: "Well, it's okay, if I'm depressed for this little thing, it's endless, and maybe I didn't notice the possibility of the so-called social party in Crossbell and the possibility of another article behind it, but maybe I'm deceiving myself and pretending not to notice, so that I don't feel more guilty and unwilling." ”

"So, I decided, now I have to be honest about the guilt and anxiety in my heart, this is not what the section chief said, but I think it can spur me on. ”

Lloyd: "Really. . . Well, since Ellie has adjusted her mentality so well, I can't hesitate so much anymore. ”

"Let's change clothes right away, you guys are waiting for me on the first floor!"

Ellie said, "The rebellion is ready, let's have a meeting while we eat." ”

"Ah, thank you. Lloyd said.

After Ellie went out, Lloyd gathered himself.

I thought to myself: Ellie is already so strong, she can't lose.

After that, we cleaned up and finished breakfast together.

Lloyd said, "So, let's get down to the fourth day, and be cautious to confirm new requests for support." ”

Ellie: "yes, after all, there are a lot of events today, and a lot of tourists have moved to the outside of the city. ”

Theo: "It seems that there will be a lot of commissions to find lost items and people. ”

"But let's be honest, we can't all be scared to provide support within the scope of our ability. Randy said.

"Well, that's it. Lloyd said, "Let's do it together." ”

Then the four of them checked the terminal and began to proceed to execute the support request.

First of all, I came to the harbor area and met the client.

"Excuse me, we're from the Secret Services Support Section, we're here to hear requests for support, may I ask if this is the Chamber of Commerce's pergola?" Lloyd said.

President: "Oh, it's you, and you're the one who took the commission." ”

"Haha, President Morse, hello, I was transferred to the Support Division because of my work. Lloyd said.

Ellie: "Please take care of me. ”

Member: "Do you know them, President?"

The president smiled and said, "This young man was across from me when he got on the train. ”

Lloyd: "That was before I came here. ”

"Hehe, that's right, it's really fate, so let's get down to business, there's one thing that is troubling now, and everyone from the Special Service Support Section is going to trouble you this time. The president said.

"No problem, leave it to us, I remember you made what seems to be a commission about theft, right?" said Lloyd.

Randy said, 'Is it a serial theft?'

The member said, 'Yes, there have been four consecutive cases since yesterday and today, and the turnover of every store in this harbor area has been stolen. ”

"This open-air stall was built by our chamber of commerce, so it's clear. ”

President: "Based on the overall judgment, it can be seen that this thief obviously only committed crimes against open-air stalls, and we have no clues that we can't find him. “”

Ellie: "yes, that's tricky. ”

"And if it continues, there will be more victims. Theo analyzed.

President: "That's right, so we can't ignore this anymore." ”

"The most important thing is that if this continues, it will also be inconvenient for the guests who come to enjoy the commemorative festival, so please thank you. ”

"Okay, it's serious, we're going to do it all. Lloyd said.

"Thank you then. The president said.

Randy said, "Hehe, let us go out, you can relax, then again, how are you going to investigate Lloyd, there are no clues now." ””

Lloyd: "It's true that there is so little information right now, can the president tell me where the victim's shop is?"

"I want to ask them first for information. ”

The president said, "Then I'll sort out the list." ”

After that, the president compiled the list and handed it to Lloyd.

"There are four stores, and we go to visit them once," Lloyd said. ”

"Wait here, and contact us if there's anything, for we don't know when the thief will strike again. ”

President: "Okay, we'll wait here, I'll leave it to you." ”

After that, the four began to investigate.

Let's start with the first store.

"I'm sorry, can I ask you something?" Lloyd said, "We're looking into theft." ”

"Oh yes, we should be fine, my sister and I take turns looking at the shop, one person will inevitably not work, and two people will be much better." ”

Ellie: 'Excuse me, do you see any suspicious people around here?' ’

"That's it. There were a few young men in red clothes over there just now, who are those guys? The owner said.

Randy said, "Leave them alone, those guys are something else." ”

"I don't think they're the kind of people who would commit theft. "However, if they get into trouble, please report it to us as another case." ”

"Okay. The owner said.

The second home point.

Randy said, "The big sister who is handmade ice bullying is so beautiful." ”

Lloyd complained, "Calm down, Randy, this is the shop that has been burglarized." ”

"The first task is to inquire about intelligence. I'm the one who searched for this incident, can I talk to you a little bit?" Ellie asked the shopkeeper kindly.

Shopkeeper: "Ah, yes, it's a stolen place, while receiving guests. ”

Theo said, "At the time of reception?"

"Well, the story at the time was that of a frivolous man who accosted me. ”

"Because he used to be entangled, I was about to step on him when I suddenly felt the breath of someone behind me. ”

But it was still a step too late, and when I looked back, the cash drawer was empty. ”

Lloyd said, "You don't know the details?"

"yes, it's a shame this time. The owner said.

Then we came to the third store.

"I'm sorry, can I ask you something?" Lloyd said, "I'm searching." ”

"I know, he's coming to me, and I'll subdue him at once!" said the shopkeeper.

"Well, isn't this about clues, do you have them?"

"I don't know at all, there are too many people. The owner said.

"That's right, thank you very much for your cooperation. Ellie said.

Then we came to the fourth store.

Kuro: 'Welcome to the juice shop. ’

"I remember, something unfortunate happened to your stall?" said Lloyd, "can you tell us the details? We were sent by the President to investigate." ”

"Alas, if you are not careful, the money will be gone. The owner said.

"What do you think about the prisoner?" asked Theo.

Owner: "Well, I was greeting a customer, and I felt that a frivolous young man was talking to me with another person. ”

Then, just as I was trying to refuse, I suddenly felt like someone behind me, and when I turned around, the money was gone. ”

Ellie said, "Looks like a very powerful person. ”

Then I went to a shop and asked.

"Hello, we're investigating the theft of the shop, do you have any clues?" Lloyd said.

Shopkeeper: 'Well, I don't know. ’

Then I came to the next house, and after asking about many of them.

Lloyd and the others returned to the president.

The president said, "Are you back?

Lloyd said: 'I'm a little brow-raising. ’

Ellie said, "Then we'll have to sort out the information." ”

Theo: "yes. ”

"Lloyd, please. Randy said.

"Okay, let's start now!"
