Chapter Twenty-Four: The Yellow Sparrow
The Ax Hotel, the site of Crono's wedding ceremony. Today, Naba and the others were lucky to be here, but this time it was not because of anyone's joy to participate, but because of the needs of work.
"I don't think I'll be here twice in a year. ”
Wearing a thin veil over her shoulders and wearing a low-cut light blue skirt, she looked at the identity test in front of the hotel in front of her and said, along with her were Fitt and Naha. All three of them were dressed in full costumes, Naba wore a pink red and a breezy skirt that was almost the same as the wind to untie off the ponytail that had been tied up, a long chestnut hair fell to the back of the waist and put on a string of pearl threads, and Fitt was a purple-black dress and a touch of thin veil like the wind without much ornamentation, but a shiny blonde hair was enough to withstand any extra accessories.
But why did the three of them participate in such a costume, even though it was clearly needed for work? It didn't look like they could instantly switch into a combat state of clothing, even though they could change their outfits in an instant just by holding the magic guide in a moment.
"I hope that today's police mission can be passed safely. ”
"Don't worry about Lafit, Naba-chan's recent training has been going well, and the newcomers are very reliable. Besides, maybe it will be over today without happening. ”
"Yes, the newcomers are in a very good state. And the Knights of the Wind Cloud are out of the nest today, although this may be very sorry for the newcomers, but if they really go wrong, there are still Higno and Vita. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
The only thing that the Six Branches received today was a vigilant mission for a auction venue, which was proposed by the Holy King's Church, which determined that the merchandise was an item targeted by the enemy. However, the detailed content of the goods was not told to the six departments, only for them to patrol and guard.
Soon Naba and the others entered the hotel through a check, and the three of them were in charge of the security guards in the auction venue. Storm and Naba go to the exhibition hall to check out, while Fitt patrols the pathway. The remaining six divisions were deployed to patrol the dense forests and parking lots outside the hotel, while Samar, a specialist in extensive exploration, was on the roof.
However, Naba and the others didn't know that there was another mystery in this police mission.
"Is that good, Miss Yuecun, those are your friends. ”
"For the sake of our captain's goal, this is also helpless. However, this will not hurt them, and it will not let them know about our deployment, so it doesn't matter much. ”
"The ...... What the hell are you talking about, I'm just here to do the explanation work, and if you can, please don't get me involved in a dangerous incident. ”
Veroza and Suzuka watched Fett just walk through from the perspective of the pathway, but Fett didn't notice the two at all, and Yuno behind the two was even less likely to be seen.
"Then I'll leave it to you, and I'll disappear here. ”
Suzuka smiled softly at the two men in front of him, and the whole person slowly turned into a thin shadow like a mirage, and finally disappeared as if he had never appeared here.
"Alright, then let's continue to work here, Mr. Yuno. ”
"No, Velosa must have trouble every time you come to me, whether it was Cronor who asked you to come or the rain to let you come. ”
"Don't worry, you don't have anything special to do this time, just close your eyes and let go of some of the people we want to let go. ”
◇
Two kilometers away from the Axes Hotel, Nagase and Elisa were watching the Axes Hotel in the dense forest with a long distance observation magic. There are twelve windows around the two of them, all of which are formed by using Elisa's summoning magic to summon a spirit called Lapsub, each of which is a picture of Lapson's vision, all of which can literally transmit the image in front of him back to Elisa's head, and then project the eye of fire for the rain to look at together.
Are they here to secretly help the people of the Six Branches?
The answer is "no".
To be precise, even this alerting mission was proposed to the Six Divisions by the Church's stance, and it was all from the intelligence gathered by the Golden Sparrow that they knew that there would be antiques that Scully Eddy needed at the auction today, so it was almost certain that the other party would definitely come and grab them.
So they used the six branches and others as a cover, so that the enemies who would come after a while thought that they had successfully dodged the defense, and then let them follow the other side when they were careful. The followers were chosen to borrow from Karim for the roles of Veloza and the strongest of the Assassins, Suzuka. Of course, during the battle, Suzuka and the others secretly used their hands and feet to deliberately create a gap, allowing the other party to skillfully dodge the defense line of the six branches.
"It's called the praying mantis catching the toad and the yellow finch is behind. ”
"As far as your language level is concerned, I am afraid that this sentence is extremely limited. ”
"Hey, can you Miss Daughter, be a high-achieving student, don't hurt me at this time. ”
Yu reluctantly uttered a more literate remark, but Elisa mocked him as if no one was around. Or maybe to say that in this form he doesn't distract himself, after all, they end up watching the screen and need to stare at the screen every minute.
"Don't be so nervous, isn't the good thing about the Laps that they are not mere watchers, but spirits with stellar and wisdom? ”
"You have a point, but it's needed as the most basic attention. Otherwise, if you and I seem to have something to do, we just just fall asleep and wait for Rapp's report. ”
"Mmmm, I just tested you, after all, it's not you who wants to rest the most?"
“……”
Elizabeth glanced at the rain and continued to stare at the window, and when she saw the rain, she had to laugh helplessly.
Today's mission is one of the few that Elisa has been involved in, and she has been involved in very few missions this year, spending a lot of time training with the Golden Sparrow. She can say that she gets up every day to train until she falls asleep again, and according to the news that Rain has secretly heard back, recently Golden Sparrow has even planned to use the Sandman's magic to make Elisa continue to train while she is asleep. While living this inhuman life, Rain would mostly let her rest well during her time in such a mission.
"It's a pity that our eldest lady doesn't like to rest very much, after all, she is our chief of staff, and she is still a serious person. ”
"Of course, Elisie, it's not the right thing to do to take a break while you're working, and even if you want to take a break, it's after work. ”
"Well, your serious personality will surely make you a good president in the future. ”
“……”
Hearing the specious sarcasm of the rain, I don't know why I suddenly fell silent. Realizing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Elisie turned off the communication very flexibly and continued to patrol the area in the opposite direction of the rain.
"Well, Elisa, I have something I want to ask you. ”
Elisa didn't open her mouth to reply, only glared at her with sharp eyes, and felt a little frightened by her sword-like eyes piercing the rain.
"What if...... What would you want if you could get a reward from me after this incident was over?"
"Wow, what are you talking about all of a sudden, are you stupid?"
"No, you don't look like a fool. I'm going to ask very seriously, so what would you want?"
Alissa, who didn't know what medicine was sold in the rain's hus, didn't answer immediately, she looked at the rain after a moment's thought, and found that he was waiting with bated breath for her answer.
"Why did you suddenly put out this expression, I felt a little sick. ”
"You...... Forget it, can you tell me quickly. ”
"I don't know what you're trying to compare, but if I do, I'd like you to be my butler in the future. ”
"Butler, don't you, I'm not a worker, and I'm going to serve you to feed me. ”
"You're beating, aren't you? ”
Alisa can now pick up the eye of fire in her hand and shoot him at any time, no matter what, it will definitely be able to vent her anger.
"Okay, I got it. Just do it, but I can't be your butler indefinitely, and I'll be your butler for a year when all the dust settles. ”
“……… That's it. ”
Putting down the Eye of Flame that she had already picked up, Alyssa returned her eyes to the window and said coldly, seeing her reaction to the rain, she knew that this girl must be overjoyed in her heart. At this time, Yu often thinks that the beauty in front of him is a genius with an IQ of more than 200 in front of outsiders, but when it comes to his eyes, he will always look childish and strong, even if he knows that she is very smart, it is very difficult to establish her image as a smart person.
"It's going to make you want to leave in a year. ”
"Hmm, what are you talking about? ”
"In the third window of the second column in the upper left corner, a figure has appeared. ”
“?”
Yuyu, who had not heard Elisa's words clearly, looked up as Elisa spoke later, and noticed a man and a woman on the window.
A middle-aged man with messy hair in a ragged coat and a little girl in a brown cloak who couldn't see her face clearly were looking in the direction of the Akers Hotel.
"Looks like I've caught a big fish. ”
"Is Captain Jest ......?"
