Chapter 14: [Lloyd Line] New Mission

Except for the bullet casings all over the ground and craters everywhere, the Moon Monastery is completely like an ordinary monastery.

In the monastery, everyone saw a strange magic array that seemed to be an eye or something. After Randy's initial examination, it was determined that it might be a magic circle drawn with blood. But it has lost its effect, and I don't know what the magic array was originally used for.

On the top floor of the monastery, a large bell hangs high. Bronze, very historical. It looked dirty, with several palm prints on it, and it looked like Lenster had just slapped the bell to force it to speak. And the bell ...... There is a huge rift!

…… Everyone was speechless for a while, what kind of power can you ring the bell with your hands, and then knock the bell out of the crack?

Noelle hatefully calculated that he would go to the Karumun consortium to make a formal request for compensation, and the task of everyone was over.

On the way back, Noelle asked seemingly casually.

"So, what the hell is that guy doing in Yutatsumi?"

"Forehead ......"

Everyone didn't know how to answer for a while.

"What? Could it be that this guy is doing something dangerous again! ”

"No...... Not really...... He...... He was hospitalized. ”

"Oh, I was hospitalized."

Noelle snorted, as if casually accepting the statement.

"Huh? Aren't you worried about him, Noelle? ”

Lloyd was curious, and thought that Noelle would scream, or be shocked or something, but it turned out to be so flat.

"That kind of guy can't die. Worry about him and feel like you're losing to him. ”

As he drove, Noelle said. I couldn't tell if it was the truth or the lie, and I couldn't see her face.

In such silence, Noelle drove the Support Section back, and on the way, he suddenly received a contact from the town of Mainz Mine, saying that someone was missing and wanted to borrow the power of the Support Section. So Noelle sent them to the Mines before taking their leave.

The armored car, which was originally full of people, was suddenly left alone with Noelle, and this coldness really made her feel a little lonely.

Just now, although it was only for a moment, Noelle really seemed to have returned to the days when he was still supporting the department.

Really...... It's much warmer than the garrison.

And, this guy must be messing around again. Hurt all day long, hurt, hurt, ghosts have to care about you! You're just going to die!

Thinking so angrily, Noelle held the steering wheel with one hand, supported his chin with his free hand, and looked at the speeding scenery outside the window.

This kind of driving posture is actually not conducive to dealing with unexpected situations, but Noelle's driving skills are very high, and at this time, there are few people who can walk on mountain roads.

Really...... It's infuriating. Otherwise, it's better to ask the hospital later...... No, it's still on a mission! Noelle Shika, cheer up! You can't be as casual as you are in support of Corey anymore!

Just as she was distraught, suddenly her own anigema rang.

At such a time, who!

Impatiently picked it up, and Noelle subconsciously and angrily responded: "Who! ”

"Oh, that's so angry, Noelle."

“!! Deputy Commander So, Sonya! ”

"It's okay, do you have eyebrows to investigate the matter of the Moon Monastery?"

"Well, it's the Karumon Consortium. It seems that strange magical beasts suddenly appeared in the Moon Monastery, and they were there to experiment with the effects of weapons. Now that they have been evacuated, a preliminary investigation, and no suspicious places have been found, and if they want to draw more precise conclusions, they can only investigate in detail. ”

"Well, that's fine. This concludes the investigation. ”

“…… Deputy Commander...... Do you say ......"

"Well, it's that 'do you say', the official paperwork has been issued."

“…… Damn ......"

"Hehe, don't care. Hasn't this happened many times? Let's change the subject. ”

"Yes."

"How's he doing?"

"Him?"

"Well, Yu Tatsumi."

"Why did you mention this guy all of a sudden......

"'Where's this guy'—"

"It seems that he is hospitalized, who knows what kind of mess he has made again."

Noelle's tone was palpably impatient. I don't know why every time I mention this guy, I get angry for no reason.

Deputy Commander Sonia on the other end of the communication seemed to laugh, giggling for a few moments before she returned to normal.

"I'm sorry, Noelle. But aren't you going to see him? ”

"Nope. I'm still on a mission. ”

"This answer, do you want to go?"

Noelle didn't speak, and Sonia laughed again.

"Well, let's just go on patrol. Tonight, how about taking a dozen team members to patrol the Medical University of Santa Ullsla? After all, there were victims of military dog incidents some time ago. If you ask, a ten-minute flexible time is still allowed. ”

Sonya's words were full of seductive magic, and Noelle couldn't help but think about it seriously.

What! Isn't that stupid? It's as if I really want to see him and I can't wipe my face away!

"If it's a mission......

"Okay, that's the mission. Ask if anything strange has happened in recent times. ”

"Yes, mission understood."

After receiving the task, Noelle has nothing to say now.

I didn't want to see you. Just because there's a mission, a mission. You guy just by the way, by the way. When the time comes, buy some fruit, this kind of lemon fanatic, just buy some lemons and fool it.

With that in mind, Noelle drove to the city of Crossbell.

――――――――――

On the other hand, Lloyd and his team, commissioned by the mayor of the mining town, began to investigate the case of a miner's disappearance.

The reason is that the miner took advantage of the holiday to go to the city to gamble and never returned. At first, Mayor Maretown thought he was crazy, but he had been missing for almost a week, so he couldn't be so leisurely.

"Could it be that you are involved in some incident......

The mayor of the town was full of apprehension, and Lloyd immediately agreed, willing to accept the commission.

So, the support section members took the bus back to Crossbell and began to investigate the case of the miner's disappearance.

But......

Surprisingly......

It didn't take much effort at all.

Since you know that he is going to gamble, the first person you should ask is the casino owner.

And then......

"Miner Guntz, you say? It's not missing. I come here every day and go back with a big buck. ”

The casino owner replied to Lloyd's inquiry.

I wondered if there was such a possibility, but it turned out to be true!

"It's so enviable...... No, it's unbelievable! ”

Randy let out an unwilling growl.

For people who like to gamble, going to the casino every day to make a big profit is simply a dream life! Is there anything more enviable than this? No, yes!

"This guy! Out of the thousand! Let's get out of the old man! ”

Randy asks incredulously. Who knows, the casino owner immediately put on a disdainful face.

"Do you eat all of our casinos for rice? In front of a good notary, no one can play tricks. He didn't go out of a thousand...... It's just that it seems to have obtained superhuman abilities, as if it can see through the opponent's hand, and there have even been cases where you deliberately split your own pair so that the points are just a little bit above the opponent. ”

When the casino owner said this, Lloyd nodded and asked where the miner Gunz lived. It was learned that he was staying on the top floor of the Millennium Hotel......

Everyone immediately went to visit him, but was chased out by Guntz, who was dressed in a bold suit and looked like an upstart, without saying a word. Grumpy, he didn't say a word before he got into an argument with the support department.

"Who wants to go back to that kind of ghost day!"

"Contact the mayor? Oh, got it. Anyway, you're all here, just talk to him and it's over. I won't go back. ”

"Ha--it's endless! Get out! Get lost! The wine has become unpleasant. ”

Gunz just like that, brutally blasted the support section out. Then, the room was filled with the happy laughter of him and the PR ladies.

"Bastard!! It's so enviable! ”

Randy gritted his teeth with hatred - though he hated something different.

In the end, although everyone was reluctant, they had to dial the mayor's number and tell him everything.

After all, it's someone else's private business. Perhaps the miner Gunz is doing something wrong, but it is also morally incorrect, and the law has no right to interfere with him. Therefore, it is up to the mayor to convince him personally.

When everyone returned to the support section, they all collapsed on the bed tired, not wanting to move.

And what they don't know is...... Just tonight, when they were tired...... Something big is quietly happening.
