Chapter Twenty-Seven: Time with Ellie
【Lloyd Exclusive】
Ellie finally asked Maria Bell to pester, excused herself to take a break and left.
Although Maria Bell has gauze wrapped around her head, she is in good spirits, and she has to ask Ellie clearly, especially when she was escaping from the Support Section, when she heard the attack of the mafia, Maria Bell immediately got her hands up and down, and was almost ready to take off Ellie's clothes to check it well, so scared that she quickly stopped her friend's rampage.
How to say that? Discovered from a long time ago...... Mariabel is too easy to rampage. Especially after getting involved with yourself......
Really...... When will Bell change that?
I have to say that Ellie is really a little embarrassed by her friend's overzealousness. As a normal woman, a normal woman in every way, Mariabel is really overzealous. As the saying goes, things must be reversed, and this extreme concern makes Ellie extremely difficult.
But for now, let's focus on what's in front of you.
Ellie's head was lowered by a shadow of darkness over her gentle beauty, her long dove-gray hair hanging down in front of her, and the projection of the overhead lamp made her look dull.
She heard about it.
At the time of the Crossbell riot, important people and people who had taken True Knowledge were gone.
Her grandfather was seen "taken away by a group of men dressed in black, along with Speaker Harman".
Now Ellie has one more reason to catch Joasim.
The thought of what might happen to her elderly grandfather made Ellie's heart ache.
Just as she was thinking about whether to go back to her room to make a cup of black tea to stabilize her mood, Ellie found someone at the door.
"Lloyd?"
"Huh?"
Lloyd, who had just knocked on the door, immediately turned around, a slight smile on his young face.
"Ellie, so you're not in the house."
Looks like he's trying to find himself, right?
Ellie hurried two steps in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
"No, I just want to see what everyone is doing before we act."
Lloyd's words made Ellie laugh for a while: "This man...... If it was Randy or Yuki, it would probably say "I just came to find you" or something like that. How can you just say that you can look at everyone?
This kind of conversation, without negotiation skills, made Ellie can't help but think of teasing him, speaking of which, everyone in the support department seems to like to play tricks on Lloyd, and I have to say that this man who always looks natural and makes strange mistakes is very valuable for teasing.
"Hey—I thought you came to me on purpose......"
Ellie lowered her gaze and lowered her head, looking depressed.
Sure enough, Lloyd immediately panicked, only to see him stretch out his hand, and wanted to press his shoulder, but he didn't dare to press it, he didn't know what to do, Ellie couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha......"
"What, are you playing tricks on me again?"
Lloyd laughed too. Two people of the same age in the Support Division make a pleasant voice together in the IBC building.
Ellie smiled and leaned against the glass wall of the hallway.
The exterior walls of the IBC building are made of transparent glass, so that people inside the building can clearly see the outside. In addition, Ellie's floor is relatively high, and her body leans on it, giving her the illusion of floating in the blue sky.
It's just that this action actually made Lloyd a little stunned. As a woman, Ellie is undoubtedly excellent. With a good look, a perfect body, elegant manners, rational thinking, and a sense of justice and basic self-defense skills that are essential as a police officer, she is simply the perfect female template. Just looking at her, Lloyd was actually a little dizzy. He couldn't help but think of a word he once mentioned when chatting with You: shocking.
Ellie noticed Lloyd's gaze and touched her face strangely while checking her clothes to see if she had anything worthy of his attention.
"What, what's wrong with me?"
Not seeing any difference in herself, Ellie expressed the idea to a stunned Lloyd.
"No—no, I'm just feeling that Ellie is so strong."
Lloyd suddenly showed a little wistful, and he silently walked up to Ellie, holding the glass with one hand and looking at the shrunken town below.
"The situation got serious, and Ellie's grandfather was taken away. I thought I wouldn't need to do something, but it turned out to be too self-inflicted. ”
Lloyd looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking, and muttered an adding: "If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to show such an expression." ”
“……”
Ellie didn't answer, and Lloyd didn't look at her.
It's normal to have an awkward atmosphere when you say this, right?
Lloyd secretly scolded himself for not being able to speak, no wonder You once gave "Selected Love Words" to himself...... Sure enough, I can't speak.
The self-correction in his heart was not over, and Lloyd suddenly felt a softness behind him. A faint fragrance came from the back, like a floral scent, but it was more elegant, and the soft touch gradually warmed through the body temperature, and Lloyd understood his situation at once.
"Ai, Ellie?!"
"I just need you to do something. Don't look back, Lloyd, that's all. ”
Ellie's voice came, and Lloyd, who had no experience in dating, subconsciously straightened up, like a piece of wood.
"As for me, I'm not strong at all. It's only because of all of you, because of you, that I can show that reassuring expression. You owe a lot of credit to this, Lloyd. ”
"Ellie......"
"If you feel like you're not doing anything, that's not right. Because, when you didn't notice, you had already helped me and everyone. You are a well-deserved pillar of the Support Division. ”
“……”
"All along, the one who leads us forward - always in front of us, leading us who was once lost in this gray city, is you."
"Haha......"
Lloyd smiled a little embarrassedly, and he subconsciously responded: "However, I feel that this statement should be about You." ”
"Nope. That's not right. That man, like us, should still say that he lost himself earlier than we did, and it wasn't just this Crossbell who was lost. For him, you should be a more special being. ”
"Ai, Ellie?!"
Lloyd's voice couldn't help but raise a decibel level, because not only the back, but also the back of the neck also felt a warm feeling, through the thin clothes, you could feel the warm air spray on your skin.
Ellie leaned her head up.
"You are gentle, focused, righteous and kind, and although the key points are a little - no, although the key points are very dull, you always spend the most important time with us, looking for answers together. It is because of you that we have come this far. So, I'm actually very grateful to the Goddess of the Sky for allowing me to meet you. Sometimes I wonder if I knew you since I was a kid. ”
"Ellie......"
"I like Lloyd like this the most."
"Huh?!"
Now Lloyd could not think of anything but utter syllables expressing surprise.
The two men stood silently, Ellie burying her head in Lloyd's clothes and hugging him tightly from behind.
"Bastard - let go of me!"
"Chill off, Miss Bell, let's talk ......"
"Talking about your head, I kind of understand, you are in a league with him!"
There seemed to be a noisy sound in the distance, and the two people were startled at the same time, and quickly separated, their faces flushed. There was a voice in the distance, and it was Miss Mariabell, who was not very worried about Ellie alone, and was about to come over to see the situation. You Chensi, who was passing by, dragged her a little in line with the idea that the captain was the captain anyway and should not let him lose face.
As a result, it still didn't drag. Mariabel witnessed the scene that most stimulated her.
Ellie, who was happy, buried her head in Lloyd's neck, and Lloyd also lowered her head slightly, looking embarrassed, and the atmosphere was simply good.
Then, there is the previous content.
"Lloyd! Run! Come on! Right away! It's going to die! ”
You looked at the stunned Lloyd, and was annoyed for a while, and hurriedly reminded him. At this time, Lloyd reacted, threw down a "Ellie goodbye", and ran away, behind him was Mariabel, who had taken off her high heels as a weapon, and it seemed that there was a fierce battle.
Ellie looked at the two of them who ran away blankly, and then looked at You Chensi in the distance, and You quickly cleared up the relationship: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't hear anything." I came when you talked about me. ”
…………
Didn't you hear me?
"Ahh
With a loud decibel sound that spread throughout the IBC building, Ellie covered her face and ran back to her room, a slam on the door, followed by a crackling lock.
"Ah...... It's really a thin-faced girl. ”
Yu shrugged and left.
