I always feel that the atmosphere in the support department has been getting stranger and stranger lately......

Lloyd thought to himself with some perplexity.

He couldn't help but cast his eyes on You and Noelle, only to see the two chasing and fighting, very intimate.

In front of him, Ellie and Theo looked at each other directly, although neither showed a rude expression, but Lloyd just felt that the atmosphere was strange.

He had just wanted to say, "It's just a ...... to participate."

As a result, Randy covered his mouth after saying the first three words, and the tall, brother-like man leaned into Lloyd's ear with a nervous expression, and whispered emotionally: "Don't you say anything, it's just a position or something!" That's a forbidden sentence! ”

As a result, Lloyd, who didn't know why, could only sigh and continue to watch their war without gunpowder.

Then, Waji began to look for something to do~~

He first arranged for everyone to return to his room, and then went to the hotel service desk to borrow a microphone, but it was not turned on, just to enhance the atmosphere. I also borrowed a small black bow tie, which was also used to enhance the atmosphere.

"Hehe, hello everyone. Gossip aside, the first Battle for Cross Bel Royd Bannings officially began. ”

"Do you still want to make it an industry?! And what do you mean by fighting for me! ”

"There seems to be some people in the audience who are dissatisfied, but it doesn't matter."

"Don't ignore me with a serious face!"

With that, Waji smiled and took out two decks of playing cards from the cabinet in the room. plus Waji's own, a total of three pairs.

In order not to make guests feel bored, there are always a variety of entertainment tools in the room.

"Oh-oh?! Poker? Hmph, I'm so lucky~"

Randy laughed at the beautiful gray-blue pattern on the back of the playing card, as a veteran who frequents the casino, poker is like a finger.

However, Waji didn't answer him immediately, but pretended to be very professional and asked, "Then, first ask the three contestants to state their reasons for participating." Randy-kun, can I start with you? ”

"Oh! No problem. ”

Randy poked his head into Waji's outstretched microphone.

"I don't really care about Lloyd or anything, but it's the best social meeting! There must be a lot of good things! I must go! Gastronomy needs me! ”

There seems to be a raging flame behind Randy, has his obsession with food turned into a physical entity?! Worthy of Randy!

But Randy's reasons are normal. With his lazy character, the prize money is definitely gone. His meager income, not to mention eating the best food, is a problem to even improve his life a little - in order to enjoy the fun of living in the casino, Randy always saves his food expenses to a minimum, which is why every time it is Randy's turn to cook, the ingredients he buys are always cheap.

Vaji nodded in understanding, and Lloyd nodded in favor of Randy. It's suspicious enough for two big men to go in together, if Randy eats a lot, then the appearance of eating without aristocratic temperament must be exposed early!

"And what about Miss Ellie?"

"Me?"

For some reason, Ellie glanced at Theo absently.

"By my words, it's because I know a lot about this kind of banquet and can better assist others in completing their tasks. Moreover, it is not easy to goof. It's all for some official reasons. ”

Very good and perfect response.

Ellie's mouth curled into a confident smile.

Lloyd was the kind of meticulous person who would definitely have an advantage if he put himself in a business-oriented position at such times. Taking a step back, even if Lloyd hadn't chosen himself, he would have made a good impression.

As a politician of the future, there are still small considerations.

Although there is no hostility towards little Theo, love knows no age!

Even if it's Theo, Ellie won't show mercy! It's okay to be friends, but give your favorite male ** to each other, forget it!

Just as Ellie was relieved that she had answered correctly, Theo spoke.

"My reasoning is the opposite. Because Big Brother Randy and Ellie's seniors weren't suitable, I felt like I should go. ”

Theo's bland words overthrew Ellie at once.

"Hey, Ti Ouzai, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! Something wrong with me! ”

Randy leans his face closer to Theo with an unhappy expression.

"If you let Randy's seniors go, I'm afraid it will expose a very amazing appearance, right?"

“…… Forehead...... How, how could it be~"

"For example, if you don't cut a knife, you can just chew the steak with a fork, or if you drink caviar like a miso soup, you can bite off the cap and drink it directly to your mouth."

Theo said without emotion, but everyone seemed to be able to see Randy doing it.

Only Randy himself, his face became more and more gloomy.

"Hey, hey, I, I'm not going to do such a rude thing! Don't, don't just say it, it's slander. ”

"Then, Randy senior, do you dare to guarantee it?"

“……”

"Guaranteed?"

"Don't dare...... It's a small mistake......"

Facing Theo's gaze, which seemed to shoot straight into his heart, Randy silently wept.

The war has not yet begun, and by the time I introduced myself, one person was already out!

What an incredible man, Tio. In time, let her grow up, then she can't become another Ling?!

"As for Ellie's seniors, a considerable number of the nobles present at the meeting were closely related to Crossbell. As the mayor's granddaughter, I felt that although I would not be noticed in terms of etiquette, my identity would be too easy to recognize. ”

Her words hit Ellie's soft underbelly right in the face.

Yes, that's what Ellie fears the most. If she went, it would be too easy to be recognized!

Damn, actually attacking this point!

Ellie's heart became more and more anxious. Lloyd's work-first personality would definitely rule himself out......

Isn't it to show how suitable you are, but to prove that your opponent is not suitable?! What a strategist, little Theo!

Ellie mentally raised Theo's threat level by one level.

"Oh, oh, it looks like we don't have to compete anymore. So, Royd-kun, who are you going to choose? ”

When a person is determined to do something, the advice of others often becomes an important basis for his judgment. Although Lloyd had taken into account what Theo had just said, it felt surprisingly convincing when it came out of Theo's mouth.

Lloyd nodded silently and said, "Theo...... But ......"

As if he knew he was about to turn around, Tio immediately answered, "It's okay. If you say that you are not good at socializing, then you can set it as a personality that is not good at socializing. Moreover, Big Brother Lloyd, Big Brother You, or Noelle's predecessors are not good at using magic, right? Considering that there may be a battle later, it's always good to have someone who is good at magic, right? ”

Explain that others are not suitable first, and then explain that you are suitable. Finally, I am the one you are missing.

The three layers of words progressed layer by layer, and finally pulled out the doubts in Lloyd's heart.

Lloyd nodded, realizing that what she said made sense.

Ellie's face was a little gloomy, and she was actually preempted by Theo!

Really...... Tio ...... Can't you perceive my thoughts? Or do you really have a crush on Lloyd?

Ultimately! It's all Lloyd's fault for being so dull!

Yes! It's all his fault!

Ellie's little girl is like a child, and she pushes all the problems on others in her heart.

But...... Think about it...... This shirk is a problem...... The shirk seems to be very reasonable!

In short, in the end, Lloyd finally made up his mind to form up with Theo and go to the Black Auction.
