It was nearly dusk, in the lobby of the Special Missions Support Section building, Theo stretched hard, hoping to relax his brain after a busy afternoon.

The assembly of the conductive terminal and the laying of the line, although it is only a few words written in words, if the paper is larger, it will not even occupy a line, but it is not the same. Although there is no detailed calculation, but I have commanded the installation of hundreds of lines, and the most troublesome thing about this kind of thing is not assembly, but after assembly, it will be connected with the guide network. Although Theo has relevant experience, he is still a little dizzy.

It would be nice to have a cup of hot cocoa......

Theo thought so and looked to the other side, where there was a glass of cocoa on the table, but it was already cold.

This was brought to Theo by Ellie an hour ago, or perhaps two hours ago. At that time, Ellie was about to have afternoon tea, so she stopped by and asked her colleagues if they had any needs.

Standing up, Theo felt like her legs were barely working, in fact she had been sitting there motionless for almost three hours. Moving his body slightly, Theo picked up the coco and licked it carefully.

"Bad ......"

"I'm back. Great Harvest Big Harvest~"

Theo looked at the door with a little disdain. Needless to say, this person must be Randy. Theo didn't know his itinerary, but he guessed it.

It is estimated that this unruly cheerful man went to a gambling place, and then made a lot of money, and then clubbed until now, right?

Although they have only known each other for one day, this kind of man's behavior is too easy to guess.

"Randy's seniors are still a little bit modest, and it's not good for the police to gamble in broad daylight."

Randy was stunned as he entered, and he said hello, but it was just a kind of polite remark, and he didn't expect anyone to greet him at all - in fact, Theo wasn't waiting here to greet him.

"Yo, Theo-chan~ This is a man's romance! Also, I bought you a gift. ”

Randy pretended to hide his left hand behind his back mysteriously, and Theo noticed that Randy had bought a new trench coat, orange, almost identical to the one he had worn earlier.

Anyway, the style is similar, so there is no need to buy it...... Theo thought.

As a result, Randy interpreted her silence as a tsundere behavior of "I want to know what you brought me, but I don't want to ask you", and he proudly stretched out his hand in front of him, and his mouth made a sound of "Qiang Qiang ~~" very appropriately.

It's milk.

The cover also has the words "extra strong" and "calcium" written in oversized letters, and it looks like it is milk for growing children, and it is said to promote growth.

This kind of thing for little ones......

Theo's expression turned cold, and he looked at him with a little disgust: "Why did you give me this?" ”

"Don't like it?"

"Nasty."

"Huh?!" Randy looked surprised: "I thought you'd like it when you had cat ears!" ”

"Cats don't like milk, do they...... And I'm not a cat either...... This isn't a cat's ear ......," Theo said word by word, pointing to her headdress, not knowing what she had done, only to see that the cat's ear-like ornament on Theo's head suddenly glowed red.

"Wow, does it have its own glowing effect! Would it be nice to borrow me for two days~" Randy was curious, of course, he thought in his heart, wouldn't it be more fun to bring this to the mature big sister in the bar?

"Don't ...... It's a sensor, not a decoration......" Theo immediately pressed his cat ear sensor with both hands, for fear that Randy would snatch it. Randy shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had no intention of robbing at all.

"Also, you'd better leave the door, Senior You will be back."

Theo said in a defensive posture.

"How can there be such a wicked ......"

"Randy, I'd be very happy if you could give it a moment."

Randy quickly turned sideways and watched Yuki Tatsumi walk in with a large bag.

"That's accurate!" Randy watched in amazement as You put things on the dining table.

Seeing Randy's stunned appearance, Theo couldn't help but feel a pang of joy in his heart.

You looked at Randy in confusion and then at Theo, not paying much attention to the episode between the two.

However, Theo was unexpectedly cute when he covered his head. Thinking so, the corners of your mouth curled.

"But what did you buy?" Randy leaned in curiously.

"Ingredients for dinner, of course. Since everyone has just met, let's get closer at the dinner table. You said this, opened the scallop and showed him, the colors of various fresh vegetables made people appetite, and there was a large piece of fresh pork.

"Dinner...... What is it? Theo was a little curious.

"It's curry, anyway, just wait for the good news." You said this, carrying the materials to the kitchen.

……

An hour later, five people gathered at the dinner table. Lloyd was not there because he had promised his relatives to eat at his house. In his place sat Section Chief Sergei. Everyone had a plate of curry rice in front of them. There was also a small half-pot of curry and about the same amount of rice in the kitchen.

This is the benefit of large plates, and it only takes one effort to make a large amount of food in one go. Eating together is also more conducive to the exchange of feelings - at least Yu Tatsumi has always believed so.

The mellow smell of the curry whets your appetite, and the combination of brown, black and white stimulates your eyes and makes you want to grab a spoon. The vegetables and meat are evenly cut into small pieces and specially spiced, and although curry is not familiar to many people, it is delicious and knows no borders.

Seeing that several people didn't mean to move, and they were still a little reserved, Sergei pursed his lips and unceremoniously dug a large spoonful and sent it to his mouth.

"Oh, it's delicious." Sergei said, scooping up two more spoonfuls and putting them in his mouth.

After someone took the lead, everyone started eating almost at the same time.

"Oh oh, that's a good review." This is Randy chewing while continuing to stuff rice into his mouth.

"Eating ...... Pay attention to the appearance of eating, Randy's senior...... "This is Theo, although each spoonful is very small, but the frequency is very fast.

"It's a shame that Lloyd isn't here." This is Ellie who carefully tastes the curry.

"Well, then, it would be nice to eat even his share." Sergei said this, handing the empty plate to You.

In the midst of harmony, it was getting late.

Late at night.

There was silence in the department building of the Special Mission Support Section.

The night in Crossbell is shrouded in darkness, with the exception of some entertainment venues. Quiet and serene, this tranquility will make the insomniac person forget about the peculiarity of Crossbell for a while and concentrate on enjoying the night.

In the darkness, a white shadow slowly moved around the Special Missions Support Section building, without making a sound.

Eventually, it stopped at the door of Room Two on the second floor.

It knocked on the door, and the sound of a thump was piercing in the silence.

"Really...... Keep me waiting. Randy opened the door, but there was no light on in the room, so he couldn't see his face clearly. I can vaguely recognize that he is still fully dressed and has no tendency to go to bed. His voice was cold and hard, completely different from the enthusiastic big brother during the day.

"Since I said I would come to disturb, I will definitely come."

Yuki Tatsumi said this, and walked into Randy's room, where Randy glanced outside as if he was a pursuer, and gently closed the door.

Unlike the sunshine of the day, Randy's face was expressionless at this time, and every muscle in his body was in the tightest state.

"Tell me why, you'll know the name."

Randy's voice sounded emotionless, as if the army was interrogating the prisoner.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't be stupid, why do you know the name 'Randolph Orlando'? - Don't talk to me about guerrilla-related work experience! ”

Randy's voice slightly joined the angry feelings. It was clear that the name was closely related to him, and he definitely didn't want anyone else to touch the meaning of the name.

"Well, it's true that the work experience is true, but it's not related to the guerrillas - there are secrets, and it's not just you......" You still smiled, shrugging his shoulders as if excitation.

"Hmph, I won't ask you what your job is—next question, what is the purpose of your visit to Crossbell?"

Randy's eyes were filled with disregard.

You knew very well that this was the look of someone who often dealt with killing. There is no reverence or fear of life, because we are used to seeing life and death, and human life is just a number for such people.

"Looks like if I don't make it clear, Randy, you're ready to kill you."

You sighed, put away his smile, and stood up straight.

"Just like you, Randy. I also have my own secrets, and it was just a coincidence that I joined the Support Section, and it wasn't specifically for you. ”

This is actually a sign of weakness, seeing that he took the initiative to put down his posture, Randy also relaxed his momentum a little, and snorted without saying much.

"Well, let's do it, I'll give you a bottom too, and we'll settle it."

As he spoke, he reached into his arms with his right hand and groped for it, pulling out a mask. It resembles a masquerade at a ball, but it doesn't have as many ornate decorations, simple white, and is decorated with simple cyan lines.

"Uncrowned Wind...... Hmph, what a secret you can't let people know - that's why you were kicked out by Liberal, right? ”

Randy sneered, dissipated his momentum, and reverted to the sunny big brother of the day. The cold smile also became like a self-deprecating smile.

"Well, it's actually me who left by myself. Anyway, I'm not going to tell your secrets. ”

"Then I won't talk too much."

The two men came to a consensus. Because they know each other's black history, they can be honest with each other, and there is a faint feeling of sympathy in it.

"Still, Randy, I want to tell you...... If you keep hiding your strength, you may lose something very important. ”

Randy was silent and didn't respond.

"It's a word of thumb. Because I...... My friend was hurt by hiding his strength - a girl who looked a lot like Lloyd, by the way. ”

"Yes......" Randy's eyes were a little erratic as if he had thought of something, and finally he looked at You, who had been standing in the doorway and hadn't left.

"By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Well, I'm here, it's too much for you to invite me to a drink, right?" You said this, and sat down on Randy's couch very familiarly. Randy smiled and slapped him hard.

"You kid......"

Then, Randy's hand reached for the most expensive wine in the wine cabinet
