Chapter 7: Crossbell Memorial Sacrifice
At the end of the school day, students were in groups of threes and twos, some sent their books back to the dormitory, some went to club activities, and some rushed to the student hall to replenish their energy.
In the westernmost classroom of "Class VII" on the second floor of the main school building, the students also have their own arrangements and leave one after another.
A few minutes later, there were only two people left in the classroom, Lane on duty and Sarah, the homeroom teacher.
"Everyone is gone, what can I say." Sarah was so aggressive that she would have been the first to leave the classroom if it hadn't been for Lien's generic guerrilla gesture to get her to stay.
"Instructor, I'm going to take a leave of absence."
"Where to go?"
"Crossbell." Rien knew from the contact the day before yesterday that the commemorative festival for the founding of Crossbell had begun, and this commemorative festival could be described as an undercurrent, and he was unwilling to join in the fun. What's more, Lixia had a holiday on the last day of the memorial festival, and he promised to accompany her.
"Want to see the memorial festival? Wouldn't it be that simple, could it be the rumored underground auction? "Don't forget, Sarah was the ace of the Imperial Guerrilla Association before she became an instructor, and she was an A-level guerrilla like Arios, known as "Purple Lightning".
"Worthy of being an instructor, Quanzhong." Lane said as he took out a black back cover from his backpack, with a solid gold trim and a golden rose pattern printed in the center, "It took a little thought to get one." ”
The invitation was obtained by him with the help of President Irina, in order to meet the Imperial Son, the crystallization of human wisdom and the transcendent girl.
"This is an invitation to the underground auction!" Sarah's pupils contracted suddenly, "This material shouldn't be wrong hahaha, it's worthy of being a super newcomer who solves Libel's mutation, well, well, junior, I'm optimistic about you." ”
"Even if you say that, I won't take you with me." Rien said as he withdrew the invitation.
"What's the matter with taking me there," Instructor Sarah muttered dissatisfied.
"Because you are so famous, instructor, there are about 20 A-level guerrillas in the whole continent, and they are the focus everywhere." Lane complimented.
"I can't go even if I want to, I have to prepare a special internship for you, and I approved your vacation."
"Thank you, instructor, I also have two bottles of good wine from Gran Winery, although it is not worth 500,000 Gran Charina, but it is not so easy to obtain, so I should honor my predecessors."
"Hmph, junior, you're very good."
"Where, where, it's not as good as your predecessors."
"Hahahaha."
"Hey, hey, hey."
How does it sound like an embarrassment
The next morning, the class had a morning meeting.
"Instructor Sarah, Lane is absent, we went to his room to see, no one." Emma, who is in charge of attendance, reported.
"Lane was sent out by me to prepare for one of your upcoming tests, and is expected to miss two to three days." Instructor Sarah had already prepared an excuse, and the round was seamless.
"A test?"
"Hehe, you guys just look forward to it." Sarah smiled maliciously.
"Hmm" The students were cold. Li En, could it be an experiment?
Lee, who was sympathized with by everyone, had already taken the first mainland cross-cutting train, passed through the Keldik territory, and went straight to the Garelian Fortress.
(As a slight explanation, soldiers and guerrillas are not allowed to serve at the same time, but students are not, and only forty percent of Tolz's graduates choose to join the army, and Lane is able to keep his guerrilla status by playing a marginal game, which is the best passport.) )
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The biggest celebration of the year is the annual founding memorial, which coincides with its 70th anniversary.
The five-day festival features a number of spectacular programs, the highlight of which is the parade of floats.
The mighty and well-arranged Huamei convoy circled the city according to the designated route, and various programs were staged on the floats in turn, which was wonderful, attracting tourists to stop and citizens to wait early.
At the end of the parade is Mixi's themed car, which has a special person to throw candy and gifts, which is a favorite of the children. These energetic little guys can often run a few blocks with the parade without feeling tired, but their parents are miserable, panting and worrying in the back.
Every year, the Guerrilla Association receives several requests to search for lost children, much to the distress of Michelle, the receptionist. Fortunately, there is an "Secret Service Support Division" this year, which shares a lot of pressure.
No, the four Lloyds who had just returned to the city from the ruins of the "Ancient Battlefield" outside the city received an urgent message from Fran - their old acquaintance, Harold Haywas's son Colin, was lost.
I couldn't leave it alone, dragged my tired body, and the group went to the designated place non-stop.
At the same time, Lane stepped off the train, walked out of the station, walked into the entertainment street, and walked towards "Rainbow Theater"
In the dressing room of "Rainbow Troupe", Princess Sun and Moon, who has changed back into civilian clothes, is removing makeup. Heavy makeup on stage is no better than usual retouching, and it takes a lot of time to put on or remove makeup.
"It's so troublesome, it's so troublesome" Illya couldn't help complaining, she was already familiar with the makeup removal technique, but every time she removed the makeup, she still felt very annoyed, "Lixia, I really envy you." ”
Lixia smiled lightly, a pair of slender hands slowly wiped over her face, her makeup and foundation were all peeled off, along with eyeliner and lip gloss.
"I said Lixia, I really can't learn that oriental qigong?" Looking at her guess that she had taken off half of her makeup, and at Lixia, who was facing the sky, Illya had a little temper.
"I don't think so, otherwise I should have felt the presence of qi a long time ago." Lixia said as she helped Elija remove her eyeshadow.
"Uh-huh, blow." Illya lay on the dresser.
"Elia, cheer yourself up"
"I don't, you let me rub your pair of Oupai, I'll get up"
"No, no." Reflexively, Lixia took a few steps back, crashing into a familiar embrace.
A pair of hands blindfolded her eyes, and a gentle voice sounded in her ears: "Guess who I am?" ”
"Lane!" Lixia didn't have to guess at all, she had a pretty face that was pleasant and disgusting. Just like she knew that Rien was there no matter how she stood, she could feel Lien's presence.
"Do you miss me?" Rien let go of his hand and grabbed his lover's waist.
In her arms, Lixia hummed softly.
"Lai Eun Shu Hua Ze!" The female voice that gritted her teeth and slapped word by word interrupted the sweetness of the two, and when she looked up, she saw Eliya staring at Lane with fire-breathing eyes.
"Miss Elija what's the poof, haha~~~" Before Li En could finish his words, he couldn't help laughing. Halfway through the makeup removal, Eliya's face is red and white, which is really rare.
"Get out of here!" Illya touched her face, annoyed, and pulled Lixia past her, kicking Lane out of the dressing room door.
"Bang!" Slam the door, "click" the door is locked.
"Hey, don't force me to pull out a knife and cut the door."
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Over there, the support corps was divided into four routes, searching for Colin's whereabouts in four directions. In order to find someone faster, Theo even called Zeit, hoping to use his sense of smell.
The dignified guardian beast, the phantom god wolf has no frame like "Ancient Dragon", and he doesn't feel ashamed to play a cameo police dog, and his work attitude is meticulous.
Lloyd was in a hurry, but he still forced himself to calm down, taking the photo and asking acquaintances or roadside shops about Colin's whereabouts one by one.
There are no hotels, no casinos, will they run into "Rainbow Troupe"? Thinking so, Lloyd walked into "Rainbow Theater".
As soon as I entered, I heard the sound of an argument coming from the empty lobby.
"What are you doing when my wife and I go out for afternoon tea?" (The sound is somewhat familiar.) )
"Lixia is my sister I recognize, of course I have to take care of it." (Sister Elija's voice.) )
"Lane, Elia" a weak voice. (I mean, that's Lane, this is Lixia.) )
"Oops? Lloyd? Illya saw Lloyd in the middle of the lobby and smiled and asked, "Why, did you come to me?" It's still a while before the night show, how about a cup of tea together? ”
"Ah, no, I'm here for work, actually," Lloyd took out the photo and asked the three of them.
"Colin!" Dawn's eyes froze.
The enthusiastic Illya took the photo and went straight to the backstage to ask the rest of the group.
"Lai or I" lover's thoughts, Lixia understands, Ling's story, she heard him say.
"No, you still have a show in the evening, you don't have to run around with me, I'll just be alone" Lien took Lixia's hand, "I'll pick you up in the evening." ”
"Hmm!"
And just like that, Dawn joined the search for Colin.
Ling, this time, be sure to untie the knot in your heart.
