VOL.1

"Hmm...... I didn't expect to get to this point......"

You Chensi stared at his left hand contentedly, looking it up and down repeatedly.

Of course, this is not Yumoto's arm. Although it looks similar to human skin, there are inevitably tiny seams in the joints. It is also necessary to move the joints.

In order not to look obtrusive, a new technology is specially adopted, and it looks like real skin, and it is soft when pressed.

The fly in the ointment is that it is difficult for You Tatsumi to operate this arm, and it can only be used as an ornament.

However, it would be too greedy for more to be content.

"Thank you so much, Ling."

You Chensi lowered his head and thanked Ling who was sitting in front of the guide terminal, and Ling replied somewhat casually, looking completely attracted by the information on the screen.

This is the puppet workshop, the original executor of the Snake of Eater, and the temporary residence of Ling Haivas. Puppet WorkshopPuppet WorkshopNaturally, they have a lot of experience in making dolls, so Yu Tatsumi came here to entrust them to make a new arm.

I don't expect to be able to achieve the original power, as long as it can not make people doubt. After all, the one-armed feature is still too special.

But unexpectedly, under Ling's intercession, the old man Jonah, who didn't want to take over the work, took over the job and added some of the new technology of the association to it. Although the core technology is not available, the craftsmanship of this artificial product, which is almost identical to human skin, is enough to make the world crazy.

Of course, it's not free. What Yu Xiang Ling offers is ......

"Wow, Big Brother's intelligence vault is really a treasure trove! All kinds of information are available! ”

Ling browsed the screen contentedly, not wanting to look away for a moment.

Yes. What you provide is your own intelligence base.

Intelligence is such a thing as it is too easy to accumulate quantity, and the importance of intelligence changes according to the change of time and the change of purpose. For example, the scandal of man A, which is of little use. But once Man A becomes mayor, this information becomes meaningful.

Therefore, intelligence can easily accumulate into a huge ocean.

It is precisely because of this that You Chensi will choose an intelligence head to be responsible for the integration and analysis of intelligence, and he is happy. But his own intelligence leader was killed by Yue.

It's very embarrassing here, you can find it yourself, because you are not familiar, the efficiency must be very low, and it is difficult to ensure loyalty if you look for someone casually.

So, he finally thought of a way to have it both ways, and that was to provide all this information to Ling.

Ling is the original executor, so she can't be regarded as an association person, and her relationship with Ling is not bad, if she can find it interesting, then she is not worried about chaos. Moreover, even if Ling wants to use it indiscriminately or leak it out, Yu is not worried at all.

In fact, that information doesn't help much. The positioning is very much like chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it.

Ling is now exploring the information library provided by Yu Tatsumi.

"Wow, big brother is really amazing, he doesn't lose to the association at all! We don't even have any information! ”

Ling smiled excitedly, like a child.

No, she's just a child.

Seeing her laughing, You also leaned over and asked, "Then, can you help me confirm the current situation of Lubacher?" ”

"Hey~ Big brother, in our transaction, the chips in this intelligence database are 'arms'! How can you be so greedy! ”

Ling grinned and condemned him, but there was a joke in her words, and she poked You's nose with her green fingertips very maturely, like a loving mother.

"Hehe, so, this is not an order, but a request. Can you help me with this? ”

"It's really cunning, okay~ but be grateful to Dade!"

Saying this, Ling quickly tapped a few times, and the information on the screen changed instantly, and Lubacher's recent situation appeared on the screen in the form of words.

“……”

However, You's expression became more and more solemn.

VOL.2

"A truce?"

Lloyd repeated the section chief's words with some confusion.

Randy, Ellie, Lloyd, and Chief Sergei, the four of them were talking in the section chief's room. Tio is accompanying Hexu and Kia, distracting them from the situation in the section chief's room.

At this time, Kia had been in the support department for a week, and she had no tendency to regain her memories at all. And the police station and the guerrilla association have not heard any news through it.

It's as if Kia didn't exist in the first place.

Therefore, Lloyd and they can only continue to let Kia live.

To beware of Lubacher's counterattack, and Kiya's identity cannot be found out, it is really a dilemma.

And just now, Section Chief Sergei explained to the three the latest information that the police department had.

"Well, a truce."

Sergeko's long and broad back leaned against the wall, but because of his image, this action was not handsome at all, and it only made people feel unmotivated.

"It's not the exact thing, but Rubacher did mean it to the police."

Regarding this case, Rubacher's claim is: complete victim.

I don't know that the person in the box is Qiya, they claim that this is a trap for the black moon, and they also say that there is a problem with the way to get this product, and the transportation company is also a leather bag company in vain. In short, you must completely clean yourself up.

Is it shameless? Or should I say wise?

Moreover, they also bit back, saying that the rescue of the support department was an illegal invasion.

What's even more terrifying is that their statement is really reasonable......

Evidence obtained on the basis of improper means does not have legal effect. This is something that every enforcer understands.

It's just that if you really encounter this situation, you will inevitably feel a nest fire.

As a result, Rubacher asked for a truce.

The police department could no longer use Kia to intervene in Rubacher, and at the same time, Rubacher no longer cared about the illegal intrusion and the damage caused by the support department.

"Looks like there's no way to refuse......"

Lloyd's face was embarrassed, and although he wanted to smile to show his calmness, he couldn't laugh well.

Randy shrugged his shoulders and said unwillingly sarcastically, "Tomorrow is not afraid of the ground, but is he only afraid of being put on the hat of human trafficking......

But it can't be unacceptable. If you don't accept it, it's likely to be Rubacher's pursuit.

Of course, the people in the support department are not afraid of evil forces, but Kia is just a child, facing that kind of situation, facing that kind of life, and there is a possibility that she will be injured by mistake...... No, even if it's for Kia, no matter how unwilling you are here, you have to swallow it.

"Damn...... These guys...... Can you entrust You Jun to blow up Lubacher! ”

Randy grabbed his head hard, the look of dissatisfaction was completely expressed on his face, and Ellie quickly stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"Forget it, Randy, think about Kia, at least that way, she won't be in danger. And we can go out too. ”

Lloyd also comforted Randy, but at the mention of going out, Randy's face immediately drooped: "So the paid leave is over?" ”

For a moment, the section chief's room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Ah, guys, are you talking about Rubacher?"

Pushing open the door, Yu Tatsumi walked in, although his left hand was still in his pocket, but the sleeve tube was no longer empty, was it filled with something? Lloyd judged and greeted him.

"Yo guys, then, I'll give you some interesting information too."

You sneered and told the information he had just started.

After the Black Auction, Rubacher was devastated. Black Moon took advantage of the situation and attacked five of Rubacher's cargo routes at the same time......

As a result, Black Moon was beaten in a fiasco, if it weren't for the fact that the person who led the team was a stream with superior combat effectiveness, and Silver's rescue was timely, I'm afraid the result would not be a fiasco, but the annihilation of the entire army.

The new card in Black Moon's hand, the slave soldiers of the Rose Fighters, had thirty-seven killed and six seriously wounded.

VOL.3

It's hard to imagine.

With the loss of Garcia and Vincent, why did Rubacher's combat effectiveness increase? Or is there water released from the Black Moon? Incomprehensible. It's just hard to understand.

Is it some strange means that Lu Bache has become stronger, or is there some conspiracy that Li Cao of the Black Moon is planning......

People don't know, but it doesn't matter.

After all, this news can only be said to be shocking, but to be honest, it has nothing to do with the support department. In the battle between the mafia, it doesn't matter who loses or who wins, the police can't intervene anyway......

But the good news is that I can finally stop being aggrieved in the small support department!

"So, I'll go bet first...... I'll go for a walk and get some fresh air~"

Randy grinned and was about to walk out, but was grabbed by Youyi, "Okay, it's not too late to have lunch first." ”

Today's lunch is still cooked by You Chensi, it seems to be to prove that he is okay, but in fact, the taste of the things he makes is not tasteful at all, and I have to sigh that it is a very powerful technique.

While eating the potato salad cheerfully, Qiya showed a happy smile, this sunny smile is unimaginable, she has lost her own memory.

You also used his own methods to investigate, but there were really no clues. Although he has data on "missing persons" in his intelligence library, for some reason, the intelligence he collects is all "blonde". So there's very little information that can be related to the green-haired Kia.

And this kind of irritating amnesia is also the most difficult to do, some say it is natural, some say it scares her, some say let her receive a shock again...... There are different opinions, but there are almost no reliable ones. Everyone's statement is taken for granted, and the actual cure is an example, but you haven't seen it anyway.

Thinking so, he couldn't help but sigh.

“？ What happened to Youchen? ”

Qi Ya thought for a while, looked at You Chensi's plate that hadn't moved much, and asked rhetorically as if understanding: "Don't you have an appetite?" ”

"I'm a little out of appetite."

"That's not good, if you eat less, you won't have the strength."

"Ah, thank you."

You said this, giving her a smile in return, and quickly swept away the food from the plate.

But this kid is not afraid of people at all, and he has a cheerful and outgoing personality, which really helps a lot. If it's the kind of person who is gloomy and doesn't like to talk, if you're still afraid of life and unwilling to cooperate with our type, then you're really going to cry.

"Yu, isn't there any news about Kia?"

Lloyd stole his head over and asked.

Lloyd is resting these days, while Yutakami has been out collecting all kinds of information. No matter how much everyone asked him to rest, he refused, using the support department as a base, and he was elusive.

"Nope. It's weird. ”

"So, a cure for amnesia?"

"Well, I'm not a doctor."

"That's right."

Lloyd smiled wryly, now getting more and more used to relying on him.

"However, if there is a reconciliation, then Lloyd, when will you take her out for a walk. Although she didn't say it, she probably wouldn't be happy if she was always bored here. And, maybe something could stimulate her brain. ”

You's words made Lloyd nod in agreement.

However, it is not that easy. You Chensi denied his statement in his heart.

This kind of unreliable thing is like buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot. If you win, you're super lucky, but it's normal to miss. If going out for a walk can cure amnesia, then the doctor doesn't have to work so hard.

This method was just a means to reassure Lloyd.

Don't let them do anything, I'm afraid they won't be able to let go.

So, fill their time with action. Then I'm going to continue to accelerate on my side.

Really...... When I'm so busy, I still have to guard that person at the same time...... Goddess, spare me......

VOL.4

"Now, Kia, let's hang out together?"

With this sentence as the beginning, the people in the support department exploded.

Yutatsumi goes out again at some point, Ellie and Theo are discussing what to wear for Kia, while Randy and Lloyd are thinking about what they might encounter on the road and how to arrange security. Hexu is definitely going to go, after all, children have the best sex with each other, and I didn't take her to the black auction before, and the little guy is still a little worried.

The final list is as follows: Randy and Lloyd stay at home. Ellie goes shopping for clothes for Kia, and Tio Hoxu and Kia go out together.

The main reason for this configuration is that considering that Rubacher's anger is mainly focused on Randy, Lloyd, and Yutatsumi, the impression on the three children should not be too deep. And, although it is nominally a settlement, who knows if they will secretly attack the Support Division? If you start with the Support Division, you'll first start with the department.

So put the strongest combat power in your home. You Jun didn't know where it was, but he promised that he would definitely be in Crossbell, so in case Tio and them were attacked, he could use his magic wand to hold it up and call for Yu to help.

As for why Lloyd was left behind......

"That person must not be left alone with Lloyd!"

With this in mind, Theo and Ellie have to make a painful decision. That is, everyone should go out, and no one should be alone with Lloyd.

That's fair.

Otherwise, there will be another conflict.

VOL.5

"Wow wow~"

Kia, who was able to leave the support department, ran happily, looking at everything and feeling fresh.

"Now, Theo, are the people over there your friends?"

Qi Ya asked excitedly, pointing to the dense flow of people in the square.

The celebration is over, but there are still a lot of people in Cross Bell, and it is difficult to extricate themselves from the atmosphere of the celebration.

"No, not exactly."

"Wow, what kind of iron box is that?"

This time, Kia became interested in the guide car again. Tio could only patiently explain to her what a guide car was.

It could be seen that Kia was very happy. I was happy when I was in the support department building, but I felt like I was happier outside.

Theo noted this and looked at the lotus beside him.

"Won't you play with her?"

In Theo's eyes, Hexu, like Kia, is a playful, carefree child. Who knew that Hexu also followed Dio like an adult, indifferent.

Is it a little more mature?

"Well, it's enough to follow Theo-chan~"

The preface is retracted, and the fact that you like to stick to me hasn't changed at all......

With a sigh, Theo called Kia back.

He said that he was casually strolling around Crossbell, but Crossbell was too big for a child to be aimless. It's so inefficient.

"Kia, is there anything you're interested in?"

Well, ask Kia what interests her, and take her there exclusively. In this way, you can make use of the limited time, and when Qi Ya is satisfied, she may be able to go back sooner.

"Hmm—where Tio is happy!"

Qi Ya didn't even think about it, and then she smiled brightly.

W-What, this kid!

That's so cute! And the mentality of being considerate of others!

Tio had to admit that his heart did pound violently just now.

What an amazing child, and he will definitely become a wonderful woman when he grows up.

Still, where will I be happy?

Theo thought for a moment......

That's not ...... Is that the only place!

VOL.6

"Wow! It's so much, so much! ”

Qiya's eyes widened, and her face was full of joy at seeing something new.

For some reason, Theo became proud.

It's not hers, but it's exciting to share what you're interested in and get recognized, isn't it?

This is Tio's favorite place.

No, it's okay to say it's one of the holy places.

Cross Bell's department store [Era] Mixi's counter!

The gray and white coat color is endless!

Sitting, lying, upside down, sleeping, playing, and in a daze, all kinds of Missies are gathered here!

It's not just the Muppets! There are also a variety of goods! Pendants, clothes, doll costumes, grandfather clocks and so on! This is Mixi's world!

Intoxicated by the commentary in his head, the proud feelings in Theo's chest were almost full.

"Well, doesn't it feel great and cute?"

is so proud to declare that he is not asking, but simply telling his feelings.

"Hmmm! Lovely! But there's only one way, huh? ”

Kia said, as if showing a little pity.

Hmph, so it's still a child. Mature adults wouldn't say that, Missy is justice!

Just when Theo was thinking this, even Hexu spoke: "Hey, indeed." Feel like only Missy is so monotonous? ”

What! Hexu, don't you even understand?

Theo only feels that the current young people are probably coming to an end. Not being able to understand Missy's charm is disqualified as a human being!

It seems that he has an obligation to let the two of them understand.

Theo made up his mind and picked up a Missy doll.

VOL.7

It has been mentioned more than once that Missy is Crossbell's mascot.

Specifically, who created the image of Missy, and when it became popular, no one knows. But there is no doubt that this is the image created by Cross Bell's people.

Missy's selling point is that she is fluffy and has an embarrassing face that looks very troubled.

Although many men can't understand the charm of Missy, in the hearts of the female community and children, it is a great, simply not better gift.

Tio explained Missy's history as she held the tail of Missy's doll in her hand.

"You see, the soft fluff on this tail makes people feel irresistible, and the contrast between gray and white makes people feel like Tai Chi in the Oriental concept!"

As he spoke, his fingers moved to his face.

"This somewhat troubled expression just matches the way we play with him, and it looks as if he is bothered by us, this kind of closeness that suddenly expands from the heart!"

Then put your hands on the doll's arms and show off the abdomen.

"Behold, this soft belly, this is exactly the dream!"

It's really embarrassing for Tio, there was a lack of expression change on his face, and now he has to use fierce words to make the other party deeply feel the surging feelings in his heart.

Qi Ya, who listened carefully to her lecture, couldn't help but show an expression of admiration in her eyes! Theo's image in her heart suddenly became taller!

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Qi Ya is now pure and a blank sheet of paper.

But on the other side, Hexu's expression was a little subtle. Looks like she still can't understand Missy's fun, huh?

Anyway, the main purpose of today is to popularize the knowledge of Mixi to Qiya, and I don't even know this, it's really pitiful. As for Hexu, let's continue to tell her when I go back.

Just as Tio was mentally preparing a draft of her speech for the evening, Kia quickly ran to her side.

"Na, Theo, Kia wants this!"

In Kia's hand is a pendant Mixi. The off-white fur made Theo feel very comfortable.

Isn't this understood~ Good boy oh Kia~~

In order to celebrate Kia's ability to understand Missy's fun, although it is not good to pamper children, it is okay to reward once in a while.

With that in mind, Theo began to confirm the pricing above......

"What...... What the! ”

Theo was shocked!

Only Kia tilted her head, indicating that she couldn't understand. The big eyes were sparkling, and Tio was more and more afraid to look her in the eyes.

VOL.8

Generally speaking, Missy's chain is made up of three parts: the head, the body, and the tail. It's common sense.

However, what Qi Ya was holding just now was only the head and tail!

Yes! This is a treasure that is called a treasure among fans!

Even if it's Missy, there will be a lot of differences, among them, this structure directly connected to the tail under the round head exposes Missy's cuteness to the maximum, and it is simply the highest masterpiece!

However, this kind of product is hard to come by, because most of the people who buy it are adults who have no dreams, so in their eyes, all Mixi are the same, and they won't notice such a slight gap at all! So, it's not a commodity at all! It's a kind of precious prize similar to buying a lottery ticket to win!

The more Tio looked at it, the more she liked it, and the more she looked at it, the more she wanted it.

However, seeing that Tio likes it so much, if one day she really knows, what will be the expression of this Mixi chain caused by the manufacturer's misoperation?

Now, however, Theo is faced with a big choice!

This chain is not expensive, as mentioned earlier, the clerk does not understand its value, it is the same price as ordinary chains. But ah! This kind of opportunity is one in a million!

If you miss this, you don't know when you will get it (I don't know when it will happen again)

Why! Why should you let Kia see it?! This is the goddess of Mixi, isn't it, is this the goddess of the sky studying my faith?!

"Tio-chan? Are you okay? Sweating a lot, huh? ”

"I didn't ...... Ah, Xiaohe, can you help me buy some drinks? Let's buy a copy for Kia. ”

"Okay."

Just now, Theo made one of the most important decisions of her life.

Sorry Lakia.

If you're someone who understands Missy's charm, you'll understand me.

He Xu was very obedient, and when he saw that Theo was thirsty, he nodded very seriously and ran to buy juice.

Theo knew the structure of the department store very well, and it took about seven minutes from the time he went to buy juice until she returned. Take advantage of this time......

"Kia, this is not quite suitable for you."

As he spoke, Theo naturally took the chain from Kia's hand.

"Hey——?"

A long voice often used by children to indicate their own distress.

"Kia, be obedient. You see, this Mishi chain is actually magical! Only mature adults should hold it. Look at this gray fur, doesn't it feel a little obscure? ”

Qi Ya followed Theo's words and looked at it, and did feel that this Mixi's coat was darker (in fact, it was a psychological effect), and she couldn't help but nod.

"This is proof that it is not suitable for children! You can wait for Kiya to grow up and buy it again. ”

"Well, Kia knows."

Sure enough, Kia didn't doubt Theo's words at all, and nodded seriously. This well-behaved appearance made Theo feel guilty, but the sense of accomplishment of obtaining the rare Misy immediately overcame this evil.

Well, I'm not a bad person.

With that in mind, Theo turned around and went to get the other Missy dolls.

"Look, this big, soft Missy hug—"

"Then, Tio, Kia wants this pink one!"

In Kia's hand, a pink chain fell between her fingers.

Pink and white body with bows on the ears.

How could Theo mistake this character?

Mixi's younger sister, Mixue.

A treasure of illusion in the true sense of the word!

VOL.9

Which is more precious, Mixi or Mixue, who lacks a body?

This kind of question is like asking which is more precious, the ticket with a dime missing or the ticket with a win of five million. Pointless.

Missy, who lacks a body, is a "one-in-a-million" existence that tests luck.

Mixue, on the other hand, is a limited edition product with a very limited circulation.

In the eyes of collectors, the mutilated Missy is a treasure. And Mixue is a treasure of illusion!

Moreover, Mixue is generally a doll. Other peripherals are extremely rare, whether it is a pillow or clothes, this cute hanging chain Mixue is simply a fantasy treasure among the fantasy treasures!

One is one in a million in a regular Missy product, and the other is a one-in-a-million in a limited edition product. It is clear who is light and who is heavy.

"That's it, Kia, it's actually ......"

"Tio, I'll buy it back!"

At this moment, Hexu, who had been pushed aside by Theo, also returned.

Holding three bottles of juice in his hand, there was a cheerful smile on his face that could help Theo.

Damn, it's not the right time to come back!

His eyes were full of resentment, and Theo's gaze was directed at Lotus.

is worthy of being a person who has been with Theo for a long time, and Hoo Xu immediately saw Theo's unhappiness!

So he handed the juice over.

"You've been thirsty for a long time, haven't you? Hey, hey, sorry for coming back late~"

The kid took Theo's rebuke as a rebuke to the speed of buying juice!

"So, Theo, since that's not right for me, it's okay, right? I feel that the pink one is cuter, isn't this magical? ”

Qi Ya's innocent question made He Xu focus his gaze as well.

"Ah, it's Mixue, it seems to say, it's Mixi's sister."

"Oh, is that so? It feels so cute. ”

Of course, of course it's cute!

All Tio felt was a stomachache now.

"Theo, can I ask for this?"

Tio only felt that the world was spinning......

My heart is full of regret.

When I just saw the broken Missy in Kia's hand, I should have taken a look at the other Missy chains first! What a mistake! I'm carried away by the rarity!

Theo tried to make some excuses, but he couldn't think of a good reason to convince Kia.

In my heart, there is only regret.

If you just bought that for Qiya, you can use the reason that you have already bought a gift and should not buy more as an excuse to possess Mixue.

And the guilt of deceiving Kia.

And also......

Frustration.

VOL.10

"Ah, you're back—huh? Feel like Theo doesn't have much energy? ”

Lloyd raised his hand to the group that had returned, and then found Teo in the excited trio, who wanted to cry without tears.

"Well, it's okay, Big Brother Lloyd. I just understand that if you don't lose something, you won't grow. ”

"Huh? What the hell have you encountered! ”

END
