Chapter 4: The Red Entanglement: Randy

Hearing a call for the door, the Support Section immediately stopped the meeting, and Lloyd got up to open the door, greeted by a familiar outfit.

A black blouse and skirt, a black beret, and a tie and belt adorned with crimson were the uniform of the Crossbell garrison.

The person who came had beautiful long blond hair, and the face of the woman who should be soft couldn't be said to be very good. Not to mention, his face was pale, there were heavy dark circles under his eyelids, his brows were wrinkled unconsciously, and his eyes were scattered, as if he would fall at the door if he was not careful.

"Well, who are you?"

Lloyd didn't remember meeting her, perhaps Noelle had made too strong an impression on him, and when he mentioned the garrison in his mind, he could only think of Noelle, followed by Sonya, and basically couldn't remember the other names.

"Huh? Isn't this Mi Lei You? Long time no see! ”

At the dinner table, Randy vaguely glimpsed someone coming, smiling and greeting.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she heard Randy's voice, this woman who looked tired actually burst into frightening blood in an instant.

"Randy! Isn't that all because you haven't been on the guard! I remember that I told you that you came to the garrison from time to time! ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”

Faced with the questioning of the female non-commissioned officer named Mireyu, Randy scratched his head in confusion and racked his brains to search for information about the situation when he left the garrison......

I remember......

The line of sight flashed, and the fragments of the past flashed quickly.

At that time, Randy, like Mi Leiyu, wore the uniform of the garrison, but Randy was very lazy.

During one exercise, Randy refused to use the so-called "Empire's newest rifle", causing the pro-Imperial garrison commander to lose face. As a result, he was kicked out of the garrison.

It seems that at that time, Mi Lei You made a lot of work up and down for herself, so she let herself meet Sonia before she was expelled, that is, that meeting changed Randy's life that should have been inactive.

So......

At that time, she did seem to have said that she would let herself go back from time to time.

But when I thought of the garrison, my mind was full of the stupid commander, and my stomach was full of nausea, so I didn't go once. I've been to Tangula Gate, where Deputy Commander Sonia is stationed, several times, but I haven't been to Belgad Gate, where Mireyu is located.

"Judging by your expression, it seems to be remembered!"

The beautiful eyes were round, and the tired beauty Mi Lei You glanced at him fiercely, and originally wanted to rush up and grab his collar, but as soon as her body moved, she seemed to lose her balance, and fell straight to the ground! Lloyd's eyes were quick, and he grabbed her shoulders so that she wouldn't fall.

"Hey! What happened to you? ”

Now, even a rough nerve like Randy noticed that something was wrong with Mi Leiyu.

"Nothing...... Side effects......"

Mi Lei said recklessly, but her pale face and beads of sweat betrayed her feelings at this time.

Side effect?

Belgard Gate?

Yes!

Combining these two points, Randy immediately thought of the reason why Mireyu was in such pain.

True wisdom.

In the previous Cross Bell [Harmony] turmoil, all the members of the garrison of Belgaard Gate took True Knowledge and were controlled, presumably because of the effect of that medicine.

As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison, and the better the medicine, the stronger the poison. Seeing that Mi Lei Yu was enduring the pain, Randy hurriedly stepped in front of her in three or two steps.

"You said you, what kind of strong!"

"It's not...... Strength. ”

Mi Leiyou protested slightly, but this action tugged at the wound and made her grin in pain.

"Randy, do you have time today?"

"Yes, there is, time is very empty."

Randy quickly replied. In fact, today is not idle. Because of the kind of turmoil and chaos that has just been experienced, the police station garrison has been hit quite hard and is understaffed. Moreover, the inhabitants have also been subjected to that kind of turmoil and harmony, which is bound to be panicked and needs to be appeased. The current Support Division should be busy at the right time.

However, Randy couldn't bear to keep Mireyu waiting.

Moreover, today's work is basically clerical stuff, and I can't help myself as a rough person, so I might as well listen to Mi Leiyou's request - of course, I haven't thought about taking a vacation or anything by the way!

"Well, I'm sorry, everyone from the Support Section, I'll borrow it first, Randy."

"Wow, it's like I'm an 'object.'"

Randy whined quietly, but obediently followed Mi Leiyou.

――――――――――

Mi Leiyou took him, turned around, and actually walked to the bar in the back alley!

This was something Randy didn't expect.

In my impression, this Warrant Officer Mireyou should be very similar to Noelle, one-eyed, very boring, and hates places like bars, casinos, etc. the most?

Randy sneaks a peek at her face, but only sees a delicate, determined side face, and he can't see anger or settle accounts after coming to autumn.

The two of them found a quiet corner, after all, it was daytime, the bar business was very deserted, sitting here, even the bartender was not interested in talking, lazily wiping glasses in front of the counter.

"That...... Miss Mireyu? ”

"Randy."

As soon as he sat down, Warrant Officer Mi Leiyou called his name straight to the point. This tone, which resembled the name in the army, made Randy subconsciously straighten his body and replied loudly, "Yes!" ”

"Hehe......"

was amused by his action, and his originally haggard face was somewhat more brilliant because of this smile.

"Randy, most of the Belgademen guards are injured, and even if they are not injured, they are in great pain because of the side effects of True Knowledge."

Randy nodded. When he heard Yu Tatsumi explain the effect of true knowledge before, Randy thought of this result. The restriction of the human brain on the body is to protect the human body. So if this restriction is turned on, the endless use of power will definitely cause damage to the body! If you don't lose your brain, why give this limit?

However, I still feel a little sad to hear Mi Leiyou say it so straightforwardly. After all, Randy spent the best part of his youth at Belgard Gate, and now he suddenly heard the news of his past friend, and he really couldn't keep calm.

"The commander of the garrison has been dismissed. An official document has just been issued today, allowing Deputy Commander Sonia to be the direct commander of the garrison. In other words, Randy's reason for leaving the garrison doesn't exist anymore. ”

"Huh?"

"The current garrison is in dire need of new blood, and now Commander Sonia is also notoriously fair, so, Randy ......"

Mireyu took a deep breath, as if that would make up her mind.

Then, her eyes opened, and her gaze of hope burned on Randy's face.

"Randy, with your strength, your qualifications, you will definitely be able to become the mainstay of the garrison immediately, and, after the efficacy of the medicine declines, it is also a problem to make up for this gap period, I hope Randy can come back, we need someone like you, who is familiar with the garrison, has excellent combat effectiveness, and has an easy-going personality. Randy, are you going back to the guard? ”
