"Former guerrillas from Liber."

Lloyd said.

Dudley sneered, "Yes." I see, then, please don't meddle in this case. That's not your job anymore. Go back and take care of your daily chores. ”

After that, he didn't say much, turned around and left the Long Lao Hotel - of course, he had paid well.

Lloyd, of course, knew that Dudley wasn't asking about that kind of thing at all.

"That's ...... Okay? ”

Noelle's expression was gloomy, and this military lady, who had always been majestic and full of spirit, also showed a depressed look this time. Ellie stared at the table without saying a word.

"Everyone, let's go to the Rainbow Theater and report it first. This time, it's beyond our capabilities, at least, let's stand by before we swim back. Silver's invitation, or ......"

Before Lloyd finished speaking, Ellie suddenly interjected without any emotion: "Are you going to give up again......

“……”

"It's not that ...... Do you want to break down the barriers with your own strength...... I'm not trying to exclude Youjun, I just want to say, why do you want to bypass it this time......"

“……”

"That, Sister Ellie......"

Hoo rubbed against Theo in fear, and Ellie also noticed her gaffe. Although she didn't yell angrily, this kind of cold emotionless words hurt more than any scolding at such times.

"Sorry, sorry. Anyway, let's go to the Rainbow Theatre first......"

Ellie quickly blurred her words, trying to hide her gaffe.

Woo...... Again...... I'm angry at irrelevant people for no reason. The silver matter involves the tripartite forces of Lubacher Black Moon Karumen, to be honest, it would be fine if it was just a boring threat letter, but it was clear that everyone had also encountered the real silver, and the case was obviously hidden, but everyone could not continue to investigate. It's not anyone's fault, whether it's Lloyd, Randy, or Yu, I shouldn't blame anyone......

Woo......

Ellie blamed herself in her heart. Again rebuke yourself for your weakness.

Knowing that it wasn't Lloyd's problem, Ellie thought of herself when she saw him back down. Rather than scolding Lloyd, she was disgusted with Lloyd's choices as Ellie McDowell.

Everyone was speechless, and Lloyd took the lead in silence and walked towards the Rainbow Theater.

――――――――――――――

The Happy Street was as busy as ever, and in the midst of joy, the sullen appearance of the support department was particularly conspicuous.

The Rainbow Theatre removed the billboard at the door.

Those who know the Rainbow Theatre well know that this is their habit. Before the rehearsal, the old billboards are replaced with new ones. Now on the Happy Street, in the chaotic chatter of people, the conversation guessing the content of the new billboard accounts for the absolute majority.

"Oh? Isn't this Ellie? It's been a rare time to see each other lately. ”

Just when everyone wanted to enter the Rainbow Theater, they ran into an old man with gray hair.

"Ah...... Grandpa......"

"Grandpa?!"

Hearing Ellie call him that, everyone subconsciously focused their eyes on the old man.

The old man's complexion was quite healthy, although his eyes were slightly narrowed, he could still see the look in his eyes, the wrinkles on his face were stacked, and his neat beard made him look very intimate. Dressed in a sophisticated white suit and holding a cane in his hand, the secretary in a gray-green suit beside him was carefully watching.

An elderly gentleman! There is no doubt that Ellie is the real big lady! - Although Randy had vaguely guessed it from the time he heard the last name McDowell.

"Hehe, you look quite energetic, have you worked hard?"

The old man tried to squeeze out a kind smile, but there were so many wrinkles that his expression did not change much.

Hearing the old man's question, Ellie's expression of wavering was even more obvious, her green eyes swept from side to side uncomfortably, and her mouth responded with a hesitant ahhhh

"I'm still a newcomer, but I'm going to try not to disgrace the McDowell family."

Hearing this familiar surname again, Lloyd couldn't help but force his brain to think about where he had heard this surname.

"As I said a long time ago, you don't have to worry too much about things at home. It's all your colleagues, right? ”

The old man said, his eyes swept over everyone gently, and then nodded with satisfaction: "You have very good colleagues." ”

Seeing this, the support department hurriedly introduced themselves one by one, and the old man also nodded and reported his name: "I'm Henry McDowell." My granddaughter was taken care of. ”

"No, no, we were taken care of by her." Lloyd said quickly. At this time, Ellie can't be left without steps. What's more, everyone did receive a lot of help from Ellie, and without her, just processing the paperwork accumulated at the top of the police department would be enough to keep the support section busy.

"yes, paperwork or something, it's a great help!"

Randy clasped his hands to his chest and nodded as he spoke, Theo glanced at him with disdain, and said coldly, "I said senior, this is not something that can be said proudly, right?" ”

"It looks like the work is very fulfilling. That's it. ”

Old man Henry said, nodding with satisfaction. There is nothing more gratifying for my grandfather than the fulfillment of his granddaughter's life. However, the secretary next to him doesn't seem to think so.

"Miss...... You should also go home once in a while, right? ”

The secretary suddenly interjected, although it was a bit rude from the point of view of etiquette, but he also cared about the McDowell family to do this.

"It's okay, Anaester. This just shows that Ellie's heart is strong. I won't make a distinction between public and private, but I can help a little bit. ”

Old man Henry continued to encourage the newly established department, and after Ellie nodded his head in thanks, he took his secretary and took his leave. It seemed that there was still a very important meeting to be held, and the old and the young were in a luxurious guide car, and the crowd immediately made way for the car to pass through.

"Woo! It feels so advanced! Sure enough, Ellie's family is very rich! Miss~"

Randy said that he was going to put on Ellie, almost something, but Ellie was keenly recognized.

"Ahaha, that, don't borrow money."

“！！！ (Blow)"

"Don't be so frustrated...... Senior, you're a little ambitious! ”

Noelle slapped Randy on the back, and she suddenly realized that it was a bit embarrassing to be a member of the same guard as Randy.

“！ I、I remembered! Henry McDowell...... Isn't that the mayor's name! ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Lloyd finally remembered!

Because he had nothing to do with his own little policeman, Lloyd's impression of the mayor was only that he had heard the name. So it will feel familiar, and I can't tell who it is for a while.

Tio was also shocked, as if she hadn't noticed it either. She called the eternal system a little to check the information, and sighed: "Sure enough...... The same is true of the database. ”

However, Noelle's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Wait, why did you react to such a famous person!" ”

Ellie's position was a little awkward, and she quickly changed the subject: "Okay, aren't we going to explain the reason to Miss Elijah......"

――――――

Rainbow Theatre, stage.

Accompanied by gorgeous music, the silver moon dancer and the golden sun dancer are gorgeously duet.

Strictly speaking, it was the first time that everyone had seen Lixia dance. That kind of soft and resolute dancing posture conquered everyone's hearts at once.

Although they didn't see You, they were a little concerned, but everyone felt that "going to the Rainbow Theater to rehearse" was just an excuse, and no one cared.

After the song, everyone couldn't help but applaud, especially Randy, who was already moved to tears!

"I, my Randy Orlando, have no regrets in my life!"

"Randy's predecessor's life is really cheap."

The two people who are the highest in the support section and the coldest in the support section are complaining to each other as always. Noticing this, Illya walked towards the group with Lixia.

"Is there any progress? Brother of the police? ”

Illya squinted slightly, and unconsciously exuded a fatal attraction for men.

"That...... It's a pity...... is bad news. ”

Lloyd truthfully reported Silver's true body, what the mafia Black Moon and Ichiko were going to take over.

Illya's expression became more and more solemn, and Lloyd thought to himself: Sure enough, even a big star like Illya felt a little worried when he heard the legendary assassin, right?

"I said Lixia, don't you think it's great?"

"Huh?"

"Assassins who stealth in the shadows, untold legends! You see, if you apply this feeling to the Star Dance! Now I'm going to have to revise the script again...... Can you catch up? ”

"Ahaha...... Don't discuss the script at this time......"

Lixia was already a little helpless, she was still thinking about the script at this time, and for Illya, the first place was really the stage.

"In short, Silver is indeed the killer hired by the Black Moon, and besides, he himself did show up and leave a card inviting us, so it's less likely that this threatening letter was a joke."

Lloyd expressed his opinion: "Well, can you postpone the rehearsal ......?"

"Impossible." Illya grabbed the topic strongly, and her charming face was full of pride, making her whole person look even more radiant. "Even if he were to blow up the theater, he wouldn't allow it. Here, it's a group of people who are charmed by the [stage]. If it's just this level, I'm going to give up the show, and I'm not going to say it. ”

"Yes, yes. I'm just a newcomer, but I'm also supporting Miss Elijah......"

Lixia weakly added her opinion. Lloyd sighed, but still expressed his understanding, after all, if it weren't for the people who gave everything to the stage, they wouldn't be able to perform such a perfect dance drama.

"Then, you can only ask someone from one section to protect it, they are a group of excellent people, and they should be able to complete the protection without a trace, right?"

Lloyd himself is a little uncertain, after all, Dudley feels too elitist, and he always feels that he will affect the viewing effect in order to protect Illya.

"Well, my brother said so, so I'll reluctantly accept it. Thank you for looking into so much for me. In return, I'll give you tickets! One copy per person~~ Moreover, there is a special drama and scene with a handsome guy on stage~ Although you have to skip the peak period. ”

“！ Thank you so much! ”

Saying goodbye to Illya, everyone returned to the Support Division with the setting sun.

At the door, the secretary in a gray-green suit was hesitating, and the orange light fell on his frowning brow, making him look even more hesitant. Ellie recognized him at once.

"That, Mr. Anester?"

The secretary whose name was called nodded and hurried up to meet him.

"Sure enough, it's here. I'm still worried about whether I'm on the wrong track. Why, Miss Ellie, doesn't seem to look good? ”

Ellie was a little embarrassed, her turquoise eyes glancing to the side, not daring to look at him.

"Sure enough, is it a problem at work? Got stuck in the way? ”

The undying Onest continued to ask, and Ellie hummed in a low voice.

"Oh, that's not in vain for me to run once. Ellie, I would like to ask you solemnly, do you want to resign from the police department? ”

"Oops?!"

"I understand you and respect your choice, but...... Is this really good? I know you're desperate for politics, and I know that if you want to be a police officer, you must have your own ideas. But I can't just be silent. The mayor is already busy with the celebration of Crossbell's founding, and after the celebration, he will continue to negotiate with the empire and the republic on economic issues, as well as the next mayoral election, because there is no suitable successor, and the mayor will not be able to make up his mind to retire...... Ellie, if you could stay with the mayor, he would be at ease, wouldn't he? ”

Anaest said in one breath, her gray eyes were full of seriousness, Ellie was forced to be a little irritated by his hot gaze, and her already chaotic mind could not be solved.

For a long time, or for a moment.

Ellie spoke......

"I ......"
