The bar Trinity in the Old Town is a stylish place. The interior is simple and the floor is paved with anti-slip steel plates because it is located underground, and the ground near the black-painted bar counter is replaced with square cement bricks, and the space is composed of dark tones with a somewhat decadent atmosphere.

In addition to the bar and seating for guests to drink, Trinity also set up twelve pool tables with sticks placed on a shelf in the corner. It seems that there is also a service for pool games. Dark green potted plants of similar color to the dark green billiard table are cleverly dotted in the corners. The bar area and the billiards area are also separated by greenery, and both sides can see each other through the potted plants that are not too luxuriant.

Now, five members of the Special Mission Support Section were sitting at the front of the bar, each with a plate of curry in front of them, Randy with a bottle of wine in front of him, and Watty sitting on their far left watching them. Abbas was in the bar across from the six. And around a few people, there were layers of members of the Holy Book Society, at least forty or fifty people, not counting those who had been injured and went to recuperate.

Watching a few people taste the curry, Randy and You have a drink from time to time, and the five of them casually chatting about their own things, such as Yu's craftsmanship and trivial matters such as cooking and scheduling shifts on duty in the support department.

"I said you guys were really funny." As if he couldn't stand the cold, and as if he simply felt that a few people were interesting, Waji suddenly spoke. "Come to the lair of the delinquent boy to borrow the kitchen for lunch, I'm afraid you are the only policeman who can do this."

"Well, after all, we delayed lunch because we solved your problems. It's not too much to ask you to have a meal, right? "Lobbying for a sentence of semantic **, I raised my hand and drank another glass of wine." You haven't opened it anyway, so let me borrow it. ”

Even though they were surrounded by delinquent teenagers, the five of them still ate their lunch calmly.

Shortly after the Holy Book Society returned to its stronghold, the bar [Trinity], the members of the Special Assignment Support Section arrived. This is something that Waji had guessed a long time ago.

However, instead of asking for information, the Special Mission Support Section borrowed the kitchen to cook on the grounds that "the ingredients will not be fresh if they are delayed." This is something that Waji did not expect.

Waji smiled and leaned against the bar, his slender fingers supporting his chin, and asked with a little curiosity, "Is it delicious?" ”

"I'm quite confident in my craft." Lobbying, scooped a spoonful and raised it to signal, and ate it in one bite. Waji smiled and said to Lloyd, "Ah, it looks pretty tasty—Officer Lloyd, can you give me a bite?" ”

With that, Waji let out an exaggerated "ah", opened his mouth wide, and motioned for Lloyd to feed him. Lloyd felt a chill in his heart and ignored him. Instead, Yuki Tatsumi dug a spoonful and fed it to his mouth.

"Hehe, it's really delicious—actually, you're here to inquire about the reason for our fight with the Sword and Serpent Gang, right?"

Lloyd's heart sank, and he secretly said that he finally got to the point. He also did not deny: "Yes. ”

"So, even if you know what can you do? Can you help us? Vaji said and closed his left eye. Although he is a slightly feminine man with the same attitude as Michelle, the guerrilla's receptionist, Waji's charm is significantly higher than Michelle's......

"Well, if we know we can't do anything, why don't you tell us?" It wasn't Lloyd who answered, it was Yuki Tatsumi.

"............" Waji was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Haha, what an interesting person, I'm getting more and more interested in you - that's right, it's really not something worth hiding." ”

"Waji, is that good?" The bald man, who had been wiping his cup silently, asked.

"It's okay, Abbas, tell them."

The bald man nodded lightly and said to Yu Tatsumi, "I haven't reported myself yet, my name is Abbas, and I am a member of the Holy Book Society. It all started with ......"

The cause was that five days ago, on the night of the Holy Book Society, a member of the Holy Book Society was brutally murdered in an alley. He received a blow to the back of the head, and there were multiple marks of kicking on his body. Although he has now been taken to the hospital for treatment, he has not regained consciousness until just now.

Abbas's words were plain and simple, but the emotions of the rest of the Society were not so stable, such as condemning the Sword and Serpent Gang for being despicable, and some claiming to bring down the Sword and Serpent Gang once and for all.

"Why are you sure it's the Sword Serpent?" Theo, who had been silent, asked suddenly. Lloyd was taken aback, and immediately reacted, asking: "That member didn't regain consciousness, right?" So, why is it sure that it's the Sword and Snake Gang? ”

"It's about weapons, right?" Yu interrupted. "The nail stick is a weapon that causes special wounds, both bruises from blunt object beatings and skin cuts from nails - remember the weapon used by the Sword and Snake Gang members we just fought again?"

Lloyd nodded silently. You Du reminded him of this, and if he didn't understand, he would be too sorry for the name of the investigator.

Merely...... Weapons or something, you can blame it by camouflaging it casually...... Moreover, the intelligence from the Sword Serpent Gang has not been asked......

Seeing that Lloyd was silent, it was Waji who smiled and spoke: "Bingo, we are intellectuals, and we won't just accuse others of guilt - by the way, the delinquent boy calls himself an intellectual...... Hahaha. Speaking of the back, Waji was amused by himself.

"Thank you for this information, it's very informative." Lloyd said this, and he had already made up his mind. The next step should be to go to the Sword Serpent Gang to gather intelligence.

"Oh? Is that a little bit of information enough? Don't you say things like 'please don't cause trouble to others'? Waji was a little surprised, he thought he would learn some kind of lesson or something.

"No...... Even if you did, you wouldn't listen, would you? We'll go to the Sword Snake Gang first, and if there's any progress, we'll get back to you right away. Lloyd said something official.

"Well, then good luck to you."

After several people left, the members of the Holy Book Society returned to their posts. Abbas continued to wash the glass, while Waji continued to drink leisurely. Suddenly, Waji said to the taciturn bald man, "Abbas, we also have curry at night, right?" ”

"Yes."

The stronghold of the Sword and Serpent Gang is an abandoned theater called Ghost Fire, and contrary to the quiet atmosphere of the Holy Book Society, it can be said to be noisy.

A large black lizard was painted on the steel gate, and some words were originally sprayed on it with red paint, but because of the time, I couldn't tell what the words were. Although the door was closed, the hoarse music played by the inferior sound inside.

Dino is a young man who has recently joined the Sword and Serpent Gang.

His mission today is to keep the goal.

In fact, he has received a lot of similar tasks, such as helping his seniors buy beer, and cleaning up the stereos in the stronghold, which are all chores.

However, no matter what department, the newcomer will be commanded by the seniors to do that first, right? Thinking about it this way, Dino's mood will calm down a lot.

"Hello, we would like to visit Varudo Vares."

The sudden sound startled Dino, and when he looked closely, he saw that the person who came was the person who had just fought with his gang, and it seemed that the police were coming.

"What, what! Brother Valudo won't see you policemen! No suspicious characters are allowed! ”

They must not be allowed in. Big Brother Valudo's recklessness is well-known in the old city, and the rewards and punishments are purely based on the mood, and the mood must be bad when Big Brother Valudo comes back just now......

Let them in and I'll die......

Dino thought of the consequences if he let them in, and couldn't help but shudder.

Oh? Looks like a hard job, huh? Randy's hand tightened with the axe. Rush in and shout: Don't move, we're the police! Looks very handsome.

"Well, if it's not a suspicious person, right?" Ellie asked suddenly. Dino was stunned, not understanding what she meant.

"There has always been a saying in the East that 'if you don't fight, you don't know each other', we all greeted you so warmly, we should be friends, right?" You laughed as he uttered the idiom that was completely wrong - these little thugs must not understand it anyway.

"Don't, stop kidding! Cheeky guy! Dino felt like he had been tricked and yelled angrily.

"Well, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we are suspicious, it's always okay for you to help me announce, right?" The lobby pointed to the door behind him. "Do you remember, the previous member was scolded because he didn't ask his eldest brother for advice, right? So, it's good to refuse us, anyway, how about you ask the eldest brother first? ”

Yu refers to the members who were previously left in mid-air by Valudot.

Dino's face was blue and red for a while, and what this black hair said also made two senses, and the mind of Brother Valudo is indeed not something that I should guess as a newcomer...... But......

He pondered the pros and cons, hesitated for at least two minutes, and Dino had no choice but to compromise. "I'll go and report it, don't take the opportunity to break in!"

"Well, definitely not."

Dino, who received an affirmative answer, reluctantly opened the door and entered. As soon as the door was opened, the noise became extremely harsh for a moment.

"Really, what a great way to deal with it - have you ever had any experience with it?" As he waited for a reply, Lloyd turned to ask.

"Well, when I was in Libert, there was also a bad organization in the Luan area."

Listening to You's answer, Lloyd subconsciously kept this point in mind.

After a while, Dino came out with a relieved expression on his face: "Okay, Brother Valudo wants you to go in." Don't do anything superfluous! ”

The floor of the small theater "Ghost Fire" is very similar to that of the bar "Triniti".

There are iron ladders on both sides of the theater, and a platform is connected to the roof, presumably to temporarily install lanterns or loudspeakers, right? In the middle of the first floor is a huge performance platform. In this way, it is quite a bit of a theater.

But...... Elsewhere, wooden boxes and small round tables were haphazardly stocked, with unfinished liquor on them, and a constant noise could be heard from the stereo, and the members of the Sword and Serpent Gang danced to the loud voice.

Seeing the five people enter, everyone stopped their bodies and stared at them.

Oh, it looks like it's being targeted. Randy thought to himself, but his face was full of smiles. Ellie began to worry about revenge if they would be blocked inside. Theo, on the other hand, simply felt that it was too noisy, and for someone with excellent perception like her, the sound of the theater was unbearable for her.

"Hmph, here it is. Why, you're here to arrest me? Varudo snorted and laughed, his eyes full of excitement, he himself sat in the middle of the performance stage, holding a wooden knife [Broken Ghost] wrapped in rough chains in his right hand, and a bottle in his left hand, he drank the liquid in the bottle, threw it aside casually, and smashed it with a snap.

"No, we're here to investigate, and we hope you'll cooperate." Lloyd humbly explained.

This is not the time for conflict. Lloyd took a step back verbally, avoiding Varudo's provocation.

"Can you tell us why you have to annihilate the other side? I've heard about it over there, so I'd like to hear the reason for the Sword and Serpent Gang. Lloyd said calmly.

It's nice to be able to stay calm at this time. Yu Tatsumi thought so, and showed a playful smile.

"Hmph, strange fellow. Obviously, it would be much easier to arrest us directly. Varudo shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly, but judging from his momentum, he no longer had such a strong fighting spirit.

"So, police boys, what are you going to pay me if you want me to speak?"

"Hmm...... What do you want us to offer? Lloyd thought about it carefully, and for this kind of person, he was afraid that he would have to come up with something. However, he had no idea what Varudo's hobby was, so he could only ask head-on.

"My favorite thing is to make a big fuss! Come, try to calm my anger now! Valudo had a frenzied look on his face. Hearing him say this, all the Sword and Snake Gang changed their expressions of vigilance and took out their weapons one after another.

"Cut ......" Lloyd snorted secretly, and his heart quickly began to think, it is absolutely unwise to use all of them against the enemy now.

"Come, make all of us enemies, let's make a big fuss!!"

Valudo roared, the crusher in his hand pointing at the tip of Lloyd's nose.

"How? That's a good idea, isn't it? "Thankfully, Valudo wasn't really ready to go to war, and he had a playful smile on his face, which meant obviously: either fight us, or run away with his tail between his legs!

"No, it's a different matter about legitimate defense, but the police can't fight in private." Lloyd was adamantly opposed, but it seemed that not everyone in the Support Section was against it.

"Well, then, it's not a policeman, right?" Lobbying said, raising his fist. "I'm still a civilian."

"Oh—you mean, you're going to go head-to-head with me?"

"Ah, that's it. In short, just calm down your burnt brain, right? ”

"How dare you say it...... Okay, as long as you can win me, I'll tell you the situation! ”

The two men spoke-for-tat, and then reached an agreement on their own.
