The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the Santa Ullsla Medical University, and everyone hurried around looking for the missing Kia.

Although she ran away, the hospital is so big...... Well, it's actually quite big. However, the doorman said that absolutely no children left, and Lloyd also confirmed that the width of the fence was not something that Kia could sneak out, so it should be in the hospital.

One of the hospital's requirements is to be quiet. But now it was very difficult for everyone to suppress and shout Qiya's name loudly, let alone suppress their steps.

Anxiously at a loss, Ellie even began to feel a little grieved about why she had brought Kia over at that time.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have brought Kia over......"

With her hands over her face, Ellie sat weakly on the edge of the wall.

Before you know it, Kia has become a part of the Support Division. It would be nice to know where she went, but it would be too sad to disappear like this. Ellie couldn't help but sob.

"Ellie......"

Randy was also ashamed, obviously he was on the scene as a combat expert, but he was a step too late to catch Kia.

Everyone's mood has dropped a little, and if it was the army, it should be the lowest point of morale now.

"He doesn't even know what the hell is it for me to be quiet in the hospital!"

All of a sudden, the door of a certain ward was kicked open.

The miserable wooden door whistled out, and then slammed into the wall, startling everyone around with a loud sound. A trainee nurse accidentally dropped the drip bottle she was holding in her hand. Thankfully, this is a drip bottle that is ready to be replaced by the patient, not something that is in use.

That unpleasant expression appeared in front of everyone in such a wild form.

Rubbing his neck with one hand, half of his face was bandaged, and the only exposed eye was bloodshot and fierce, it could be seen that he was really depressed.

Although his intentions are good......

But you're so loud, it's a lot of trouble!

"Ahh That's why you bastards are arguing in the hospital! Yes? I wonder if anyone is still resting! What about the heart of public morality!! Are the police unethical? ”

No...... Even if you are a mafia and tell us about public morality......

Lloyd really found this ironic.

After simply listening to what happened from Lloyd's side, Vincent sneered and disdainfully expressed his feelings: "It's so stupid that it can make a child sad." Scum, scum. Hahaha. ”

"Ha, what are you talking about!"

Randy, who was already in a bad mood because of Kia's loss, listened to his sarcasm and now wants to hit someone. Lloyd hurried to stop him, lest he really make a move.

"Heh, do you vent your anger on the irrelevant Lao Tzu? If you dare to do it, you can try it! A bunch of rubbish-"

Vincent taunted him again, subconsciously reaching into his pants pocket.

"Cut...... No smoke...... Forget it, go buy a pack. ”

Vincent's blue and white striped hospital gown disappeared from everyone's eyes, and Randy sat down angrily, looking at the two teammates, one was demoralized and the other was angry, and Lloyd didn't know what to do.

I really can't do it, so I can only tell the people in the hospital and ask them to provide some help.

――――――

Really. It was because of that waste that it disturbed my nap.

Vincent snorted unhappily. Continue walking upstairs.

The research institute where the four-eyed doctor is located is on the fourth floor of the hospital. If someone wants to go downstairs, they have to go through the stairs on the third floor.

Ha? Anyway, Lao Tzu just went to the rooftop to jump off the building and escape, what if someone went downstairs?

Vincent thought so, but lifted his vindictiveness as much as he could, closed his eyes, and devoted all his energy to hearing.

The structure of the hospital was figured out long ago at the time of admission. As a hunter, it's important to know the terrain of your place.

Many first-class hunters don't understand this truth.

Well...... Is this the Man of the Black Moon......

This ward ...... Ah, it's my grandson who came to visit my grandfather.

This way...... Who's over here?

Vincent couldn't remember what this room was, but it did have the voices of two children in it.

It's super annoying.,Children or something are the most annoying.,Can't you give me a little quiet.。

Vincent snorted and pushed open the door to the ward without asking.

"-I'll tell you, there's a big dog in the Support Division! It's called Zet! The coat color is soft and comfortable! ”

The little green-haired girl was triumphantly talking to the little girl with her eyes closed about all sorts of things in the support department, not noticing that the word "coat color" could neither be said to be "soft" nor suitable for the adjective "comfortable". Of course, I didn't notice that someone was pushing the door in.

The little drop on the side immediately noticed the visitor.

"Hey, that Kia, it's your little ...... That's you! ”

Vincent pressed his hand on Kia's head with an unhappy face.

Only then did Qi Ya notice that someone was coming, and when she turned around, she saw a tall man looking down at her fiercely.

"Wow~~ What a funny face! - Is he Drip's father? ”

"Huh? Old-old-always talking nonsense, I'm not married! ”

Vincent's face was a little more unhappy, and he was about to drip flames.

"Do you have children before you get married?"

“…… I mean I don't have children! ”

"Wow, wow~ What an interesting face."

"Cut, it's a real nuisance."

Vincent sighed weakly and turned the focus of the conversation to the quiet-looking little girl next to him.

"I ask you, is she Kia?"

The little girl Vincent was a little impressed, but she couldn't remember who she was.

I vaguely remember which document I had seen it, but Vincent hadn't seen many of them, and they were basically Rubacher's enemies. Probably the daughter of a sworn enemy - a few years ago, Vincent, who was reluctant to make a move on the child, was very bold enough to ignore the information that Garcia had given him about the daughter of the Sword of the Wind.

"Yes, she's Kia, that, who are you?"

Although Xiao Di couldn't see it, she could also hear the impatience in Vincent's tone.

"Me? I just came out to buy a pack of cigarettes. I don't like to look at this little ghost. ”

With that, Vincent grabbed Kia's armpits with both hands and lifted her into the air.

"Wow~ so high, so high!"

"Hey, little ghost, parents like you will be worried! Good boys, don't trouble adults! ”

Putting his fierce face in front of Qi Ya, he never thought that this child was not afraid at all! stared at a pair of big watery eyes, and actually laughed.

"Wow, big brother is so handsome."

"Hmph~"

I couldn't tell whether it was helplessness or pleasure, but Vincent made a similar nasal sound.

"Little ghost, let's go, I'm going to find my parents."

"Huh? Ay? ”

Kia was confused.

"Do you know Kia's mom and dad?"

"Ah, yes. Old-always lying in the hospital, your family from the police station did it. ”

Vincent snorted, holding Kia on his shoulder like an anti-sack.

"Hey-that, drip, goodbye~"

Qiya, who was resisted on her shoulder, waved her hand to Xiao Di, and Xiao Di also smiled and waved back. Then Kia's voice got farther and farther away, and Xiao Di sighed softly. It's a little lonely.

"What's wrong?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard.

"Huh!? Father? ”

"Hmm. I always feel like someone has been here. ”

Crossbell's patron saint, St. Arios, the Sword of the Winds, appears.

Actually, he's been there before.

But perceiving that Vincent had no ill will, he did not show up.

It is impossible for me to be my daughter's friend.

The Sword Saint of the Wind knows better than anyone. Peers can be friends, but if people are separated by a generation, there will be a generation gap in communication. You can't do it yourself. But the kid named Kia could.

So although he came a long time ago, he did not show up.

Not perceiving his father's thoughts, Xiao Di nodded happily.

"Well, I've made friends."

"yes, that's great. What kind of people are they? ”

“…… She is a very happy person, she ......."

――――――

"I'm sorry ......"

Carried by Vincent like a sack, Kia was taken all the way back to where Lloyd had been in their decadent place.

Then under the "threat" of Vincent's "lustful inwardness", Qiya obediently apologized to everyone in the support department.

As soon as Ellie saw her, he immediately rushed to her side and hugged her in his arms, and Lotus also hugged her, and Lloyd finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this heartwarming scene.

I just wanted to say thank you to Vincent, but I found that he was long gone.

What the hell is he going to do?

Speaking of, is there a place to buy cigarettes in the hospital? The hospital is non-smoking!

When I returned to my hospital room, the sound outside was finally quiet.

Vincent breathed a sigh of relief and snuck a cigarette out from under his pillow. Open the windows and pop yourself out to keep the smell of smoke out of the house.

I can't quit anyway.

Lao Tzu is saying...... Tobacco.
