"Special Support Cloyd Bannings and five others have come to report."

In front of an office in the town hall, five members of the Support Section waited quietly at the door.

The garrison is usually stationed in the two gates on the east and west borders of Crossbell, which is too far away, and although the guidance communication technology can make the command unaffected, in many cases, it is still necessary to actually go to the local area to investigate.

Therefore, Colonel Sonia II temporarily requisitioned a conference room in the town hall as a temporary headquarters, and moved the command headquarters to the city of Crossbell.

Today, Hexu is still in the name of developing the circuit and has not followed. It can be seen that she cares a lot about what she dragged on before.

After Lloyd knocked on the door and gave his name, he was greeted with a voice asking for a moment. A vague conversation continued. It looks like they're talking to someone about something.

After waiting patiently for a while, the wooden door, which was not very soundproof, was pushed open. Carroumen Haas's tall body squeezed out of the doorway, followed by Lancet and Dior. Karumon seemed to be in a bad mood, caught a glimpse of Lloyd's group, just smiled casually, didn't come over to say hello, didn't sell strange goods, and just left honestly.

Because they wanted to report and couldn't make Sonia Second Colonel wait too long, the five of them hurriedly walked in.

There were only two people in the room.

Sitting in the front seat was a bespectacled blue-haired beauty, about thirty years old, wearing a black garrison uniform and a burgundy tie. It was Sonia II.

At this time, Second Colonel Sonia was holding a thick stack of materials in her left hand, holding Enigma between her left shoulder and mandible, and holding a coffee cup in her right hand.

Standing behind her were members of the garrison dressed in the same uniform as Sonya's. It seems to be a role like a secretary.,With a lot of information in his arms.,Standing cautiously behind Sonia Second Colonel.。

The other side was connected, and she used a commanding tone and spoke short sentences, probably directing the actions of the guards.

Hearing someone coming in, Second Colonel Sonia took her eyes off the information and briefly summarized the other side, and then greeted everyone: "Oh, it's the Support Department." Anything to report? ”

No polite words. I'm afraid it's also because I don't have the time or the mood to talk nonsense anymore.

I didn't know the details, but I felt that I could make up the conversation between Karuman Haas and Sonia II. Presumably, that evil merchant gave Sonia a headache.

But none of that has anything to do with the purpose of the five of them coming here today. Taking a breath and suppressing the tension in his heart, Lloyd stepped forward and said, "We hope that you can send us a support request in the name of the garrison. We would like to be part of the investigation into this Monster attack. ”

The power to investigate such major matters naturally belongs to the institutions at the national level. The Search Division 1 has independent investigative powers and can investigate any case that occurs in Crossbell, but the Support Section does not have this privilege. To intervene in this incident, the consent of the person in charge, the deputy commander of the garrison, must be obtained.

Sonia put down her coffee cup with interest, pushed her glasses and sat up straight.

"I really didn't expect that I would take the initiative to ask for an order - Randy, it's really strange that you support the department."

"Haha, I can't deny that they're all weirdos."

Before Randy could finish speaking, two elbows and two kicks all fell on him. Rao is Randy's rough skin and thick flesh is also painful grinning. Needless to say, there were four people standing next to Randy, and it was no longer necessary to think about it to know that the murderers were these four people.

Seeing them frolicking, Sonia smiled knowingly.

Lloyd coughed and pulled the topic back: "Then, Deputy Commander Sonya, can you give us a commission?" ”

"Hehe, yes. So, what do you want me to give you? ”

"Please give us the task of pacifying the inhabitants of the Old Town."

The two voices spoke in unison.

Lloyd and Yu Tatsumi looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while. Sonia was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily.

"Well, I thought Lord Lloyd would say, 'Please let us investigate the Griffon Monster!' Something like that. ”

Lobbying also deliberately pushed his voice to imitate Lloyd's voice, not to mention, it's really a bit like it.

"Aren't you the one who taught me to do what I can?"

"Haha, that's the case."

The two people who were very tacit simply complained about each other.

Grown, Lloyd. Yu's heart suddenly rose like an old man's emotion.

"Hehe, then, I'll give you a commission. Now it's Noelle who is in command of the Old Town, and I'll say hello to her. ”

Hearing Sonia say this, Lloyd's face could not suppress a happy expression. Regardless of his ability, Lloyd is still just a fledgling newcomer, and he is only an eighteen-year-old boy, even if he occasionally shows his mood on his face.

"Yes."

"Well, from the Support Division, please give me a lot of advice."

――――――――――――

Most of the residents of the Old Town rest at home.

Just as the night always gives people the fear of the unknown, the day always gives people a reassuring relief.

No matter how horrible things are, people are always bolder during the day.

What's more, now Arios Marcklein is in the Old Town.

With the Wind Sword Saint in charge, even if the demonic beast attacks again, it will only be driven away.

With simple thoughts, most of the residents who had been unable to sleep last night returned to their rooms and fell asleep.

"The destroyed places are mainly the second floor of the rental apartment [Lotus Mansion], the rental apartment [Imelda Pavilion], the three private houses, and the workshop [Kilaum Workshop]. There were 3 deaths, 7 serious injuries and 22 minor injuries. ”

Along the way, Lloyd briefed his teammates on the damage in the Old Town.

This document was obtained from Sonia II and is the result of the joint efforts of the Garrison Unit, the Search Section 1, and the Support Section last night, and should be credible.

Honestly, that's a very insignificant number. At midnight, when everyone was unprepared, and it was an old city like the old city, even if there were more than 100 or even more than 1,000 casualties, it would not be shocking. The loss is now very gratifying.

But no one can be happy.

The old town is deserted, after all, everyone stayed in fear for a night last night, and was not allowed to go home until early in the morning, and now they are very tired, and most of them have taken leave to rest at home. This is understandable.

But...... What about the people whose homes have been destroyed and who are homeless?

According to Lloyd's idea, he originally thought that he could see more than a dozen homeless people sitting on the side of the street, and the original intention of "calming the emotions of the citizens" was to keep these homeless residents from panicking for the time being.

No one like this has been found, though.

There were quite a few busy people, the guards patrolling back and forth, the policemen who began to go door-to-door to ask for information about sightings, and the workers who began to rebuild their homes with long strips of wood.

The mission was nominally to pacify the citizens of the Old Town...... But there's not much you can do, huh?

Lloyd thought with some distress.

On the other side, a guard from a distance walked towards the five. Lloyd vaguely recognized that she seemed to be Sergeant Noelle Shika who had been working with the Support Section before.

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your support."

Noelle saluted a few of them, speaking rather officially.

"We are, and suddenly we asked to step in."

Lloyd hurried back. As the captain of the Support Section, he was used to this kind of task.

"Miss Noelle, can you ask some irrelevant questions?"

You suddenly spoke.

"What's the problem?"

Noelle asked a little strangely. In her impression, Yuki Tatsumi is not a person who likes to interrupt others.

"The Karuman Consortium, is there anything unusual? Did those combatants of 'Warcraft Clearing' return to the Karumon Arms Chamber of Commerce? ”

Hearing the name, a hint of displeasure flashed across Noelle's face, and it was clear that she really hated these Death Traders. If it weren't for the fact that their backstage was too big to do anything, Noelle would have advised on the arrest of Karrumen Haas long ago.

"Nope. Except for going to discuss the supply of weapons and assistance with the deputy commander, there was no unusual movement. The fighters who went out did not return. ”

“…………”

Yuki Tatsumi used silence to indicate that his questioning was over. He lowered his head and carefully deduced the possibility of events. Seeing that he was so self-absorbed and thoughtful, Lloyd smiled a little awkwardly, and hurriedly said something casually, hoping to resolve the embarrassing situation: "Speaking of which, the garrison seems to be in charge of other work?" Neither the police nor the investigators, nor the reconstruction? ”

If you want to change the topic or defuse the awkward atmosphere, it is safest to find a topic from the other person's work. As long as your relationship is not too bad, the other person will not mind talking to you about work.

Noelle is no exception. Hearing Officer Lloyd ask herself, she subconsciously puffed up her chest and replied confidently: "I am speculating on the detailed abilities of that monster yesterday, if I can hope that Officer Lloyd, you can also come to help." ”

"Well, I have a proposal...... Let's have a 'search meeting.'" ”
