"I'm sure you've all read these materials."

Michelle changed his previous deliberately cowardly posture and looked solemn. It's just that his tan skin, very manly and strong physique, combined with his pink coat and various heart-shaped, pink, very girly little decorations, in front of such a combination, Michelle can only make people laugh no matter how serious she is.

It's just that no one can laugh right now.

"Those guys ......," said Steele, gritted her teeth, as cheerful as Steele, and angry at their madness.

She has a reddish-brown double ponytail and likes to wear bright and warm colors such as red and orange. In the hearts of her friends, she is a cheerful and good old person. It's hard to imagine that this sunny and lively girl would express her dissatisfaction and anger so openly.

"......" In contrast to Istelle, Joshua seemed calm. It's just that his clenched teeth make his cheek muscles stiff and abrupt.

He is Estelle's companion, a beautiful boy with black hair and amber eyes. Contrary to Estelle's personality, he is a calm person, the kind of person who can keep his sanity at all times.

"Joshua! Won't you be angry! Those guys turned out to be such nasty lunatics! Estelle found out that Joshua, her brother and boyfriend, was so calm that she couldn't help but complain.

"No, I'm angry. Just from the attack on Libel's Guerrilla Association, I was angry. It's a war maniac! ”

Joshua was talking about the Karumon consortium in Liber. Shortly after the Karumun Arms Chamber was stationed in the Kingdom of Libel, guerrilla associations were viciously attacked by hunters. The Karumon Arms Chamber of Commerce readily admitted that the weapons of the hunters had been purchased from them. He also said that if everyone wished, they could sell weapons to the Guerrilla Association and the Royal Army of Liber at a 10% discount.

At that time, Estelle and Joshua were not regular guerrillas, and this incident was solved by Cruz Nardan and Liber's regular guerrillas. So Estelle didn't know the details, but Joshua vaguely guessed. At the time, I thought it was the Karumun Arms Chamber of Commerce targeting Liber, but I didn't expect that this practice was actually a "common practice".

"Damn!! I want to beat them all up! ”

Estelle grumbled discontentedly. To add to her persuasiveness, she raised her clenched fist fiercely, as if there was really an invisible face in the air that had been punched by her.

"Ahem......"

Suddenly, there was a rather majestic coughing sound, and the meaning of the interruption was obvious. Seeing that the topic had been deviated and had no incentive to turn back, Arios decisively interrupted Estelle and Joshua's complaints.

Estelle and Joshua also immediately realized their faux pas, and the two quickly apologized together: "I'm sorry......"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good to be able to take it easy." Michelle squinted and smiled, young guerrillas, everyone is like this. Except for Arios, a man who turned guerrilla from a police officer and joined the association, he was a calm and calm senior. As a result, Michelle at the time thought that he was a big man from somewhere.

Arioston paused and opened the subject: "First of all, let's speculate on who they will attack first. ”

According to the consistent style of the Karuman consortium, the "propaganda" must be carried out by local forces. The problem is that Cross Bell is worth targeting............ Too much......

The police station, the guerrilla association, the rubaccher, the garrison, the city of Crossbell, the Medical University of Santa Ullsla, the mining town of Mainz – any one of the attacks can trigger a large-scale exchange of fire. Because Black Moon is a new force, he won't consider it for the time being. After all, the people of Crossbell do not have enough understanding of the Black Moon, and attacking the Black Moon will not achieve the expected propaganda effect.

Moreover, there are forces in this that the guerrilla associations cannot interfere with. One of the great disadvantages of the guerrillas is that they cannot meddle in the affairs of the national government, in other words, if the Karumun Arms Chamber attacks the garrison, the guerrillas will really be unable to act for no good reason.

"So, can you track down the people of the Karuman Consortium?"

The question was asked by Lin, a girl in a purple sweatshirt, orange sports shorts and a white headscarf made her look very sporty, if it weren't for the Guerrilla Association, I am afraid that she would be regarded as an athlete, right? She has light purple capable short hair and handsome sword eyebrows, and has the taste of a heroine among women.

Arios shook his head and said lightly: "This morning, I found out that the personnel of the Karumon Arms Chamber of Commerce were scattered, and because they were acting separately, they could not grasp their whereabouts. ”

Arios's tone was very flat, but there was a hint of tiredness, presumably he was spying on the Karumun Arms Chamber of Commerce all night, right? Although there is information about their separate actions, it is still unknown. It is impossible to determine which path is their true purpose, or maybe it is just a suspicion, in fact, Karumon has hired foreign hunters, there are many possibilities, and the ability of one person is limited.

Even the Sword Saint of the Wind, there is a limit to what one person can do. So he didn't track them down alone, and after confirming that they were scattered in the city, he immediately returned to the association to look for helpers.

"Split up? Otherwise, we will split up...... Sorry when I didn't say it. ”

Lin Gang wanted to propose that we also act in teams, but when he saw Michelle's fierce eyes, he immediately gave up.

Yes, because the two members are abroad, the strength of the guerrilla association is not enough, and if it is detached, the combat effectiveness is too scattered. If Karumen's goal is to lure out the Guerrilla Guild, then rash detachments will only be tricked.

It's really Michelle, although the clothes, tastes and ways of speaking do not agree, but they are surprisingly keen.

Lin praised in his heart.

Xiao Nizi, do you think our association is not short of manpower?!

Michelle cursed in her heart.

Yes, Michelle glared at Lin, just for this simple purpose.

Because the police were useless, Crossbell's guerrilla association was busier than the guerrilla guild anywhere in Semrya. Michel has submitted more than one report on the application for partisans to be stationed in Crossbell, but no one wants to come to this busy death place......

"So, can we think differently and we go to protect the citizens? If the Karumen Arms Chamber of Commerce takes action against the citizens, we just have a reason, but if we don't take action against the citizens, we can also understand that they have not violated our bottom line? ”

Tilting her head to express her opinion is Aioria, a girl in a green sleeveless waistcoat and a green knee-length skirt, with long lake blue hair and elegant temperament, with a somewhat imposing beret, she is the kind of beautiful girl who "is made into a doll and put it in the store and it will be snatched up".

She is very good at medicine and herbalism, and she is a partner with Lin and is also Lin's best friend.

Although she was a little sorry for the other forces, her opinion was fundamentally correct. The main protectors of the guerrillas were civilians, and the secondary purpose was to assist the garrisons and to reduce the losses of the autonomous regional government.

Arios shook his head: "No, either. Even if it's just to protect citizens, we have too many goals. In the city, in the medical university, in the mining town, in the village of Almolica, we are understaffed. ”

"So, what about asking the garrison for help? After all, they are also in danger of being attacked, and if Chen Ming is very important, he should be able to at least strengthen his vigilance, right? ”

Joshua suddenly suggested.

His idea was simple, since we don't have enough people, then we should just go to a helper with enough people.

"No...... I have already contacted the garrison, and the commander also said that the civilian people should not be alarmist or anything. ”

It was Michelle who answered him, a strong man who always thought of himself as a woman, sighing and writhing his body.

The reputation of the garrison is not bad, but the reputation of the commander is difficult to say. In the eyes of the general public, the commander who can lead the garrison, not to mention eloquence, is at least a far-reaching person, and in the eyes of local famous businessmen and imperial nobles, he is a very useful chess piece. The chess pieces don't need to have too high ability, they just need to be obedient enough. It has to be said that the commander of the garrison is simply a genius.

In addition to these two types of people, there is another kind of people, such as the guerrilla associations, who have some knowledge of the local forces, but do not know much about them. Michelle didn't hear about the commander of the garrison on weekdays, and at that time he mistakenly thought that someone was maliciously smearing the image of the garrison, but after contact, he realized that he was wrong.

Although Deputy Commander Sonia has a very good reputation, there is still a word "deputy" in front of the rank of "commander" after all, and she can't do anything under the interference of the stubborn and fearful commander.

For a while, the discussion reached an impasse again.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted the somewhat awkward silence.

"Hello, we are part of the Crossbell Police Department, Special Mission Support Section."

With the addition of the Support Section, the atmosphere of the Guerrilla Association has eased a little.

But it's not much better. After all, the Support Section has a look of "we need help".

"Ah, this is ......"

Michelle learned from the female voice, pinched her throat and dragged out her voice, as if she was very confused about who was coming.

As a receptionist for the Guerrilla Association, Michelle certainly doesn't know about the Support Section, and has recently become a person who gossips about materials, even if she doesn't want to collect materials deliberately, she will know a lot about it. What's more, the former B-class guerrilla Yu Tatsumi, whom Michelle cares about very much, is also among them.

For Yuu Tatsumi, Michelle has never relaxed his calculations for a moment, and the addition of a B-class guerrilla can definitely greatly reduce the burden on other guerrillas.

In addition, the nature of the work of the Special Mission Support Division is similar to that of the Guerrilla Association, which is to "help citizens solve their problems". In a sense, it doesn't matter if it's a guerrilla association of the police. If you can have more of this organization to help you reduce your burden, Michelle will definitely not ignore it.

Moreover, Yu Tatsumi also "shamelessly" asked the Guerrilla Association to send the unfinished work to the Support Section to deal with, and in Michelle's mind, the name "Special Mission Support Section" can be said to be "unforgettable".

As for why Michelle pretended not to know Lloyd's group, it was because these people didn't take the initiative to say hello. What's going on?! Generally speaking, shouldn't you first visit a guerrilla association with a similar function to your own? It's supposed to alleviate our negative ...... No, no, no, it's supposed to be a companion who helps each other to protect Crossbell? What a bunch of rude people.

Lloyd smiled a little awkwardly, and was about to explain his job position and the situation of each member, when Yuki Tatsumi snatched the conversation.

"If you're so careful, you'll be told by the people that the guerrillas are actually a bunch of careful-eyed sissies, or the handsome guy Mu Ne from the Support Department is the best."

Listening to You's ridiculous words, Michelle felt relaxed. Just now he's been discussing serious topics, and to be honest he's already a little down. As for being called a sissy? If Michelle cared about this, she wouldn't have worn a pink coat and wouldn't have learned how to speak as a woman.

"Ah, then handsome little guy, do you want to join us guerrillas? Not only is it well paid, but you can also become a big hero who saves the Crossbell sissy guerrilla association! Let those novelists and publishers know, and maybe they will write you a best-selling novel like "Obsidian" or something. ”

Here Michelle uses the metaphor of the best-selling novel "Obsidian," a series of stories about a young man named Toby and a nun named "Obsidian." It's just that Yu's black hair is too prominent, so he had an idea and casually recited a "Obsidian".

"Ahaha, please allow me to refuse, I'll be exhausted...... You're definitely thinking about how to drain my energy. ”

You shrugged, and before Michelle could reply, he quickly pointed to Lloyd and introduced, "This is what I mentioned before." Special Mission Support Section. This is the captain, Lloyd Bright. ”

"My last name is Bannings......"

The corners of Lloyd's mouth twitched as he corrected Yu-Tatsumi's statement. Yu's malicious ridicule had a good effect, and the guerrillas present, except for Estelle, showed slightly relaxed expressions.

The rest of the Support Division also introduced themselves.

Michelle squinted her eyes up and down at Lloyd, and to be honest, being looked at by someone like Michelle was really a "scary" errand. Lloyd was furious by his eyes, and he held back some trembling emotions and asked, "That, do I have any problems?" ”

"I say, how about you all become guerrillas? Anyway, the work is not very interesting......"

"Michelle, let's stop here to relieve the tension."

Before Michelle could finish speaking, Arios interrupted him. Talking about irrelevant things can indeed ease tension and relieve the frozen atmosphere, but talking too much can waste time getting down to business.

"Eun, I see."

Michelle replied and stopped the previous topic. It was only then that the Support Section officially observed the personnel of the Guerrilla Association.

"I greeted Mr. Arios."

Ellie nodded politely to Arios. In the underground passage before, thanks to the help of Arios, the two children were able to escape safely.

Arios nodded in return.

"Estelle and Joshua are too." Randy noticed Estelle and Joshua before the Wind Swordmaster, after all, there was a battle between them, and as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, because the people you know in battle are always very impressive.

"Hey, hey, Big Brother Randy." Estelle replied with a little pride, her index finger rubbing her nose in embarrassment.

"If you look closely, Lin and Eoria are also there." Yuki Tatsumi greeted the two with a smile. The elegant Aioria folded her hands over her skirt and bowed slightly to Yuki in greeting. Lin sighed loudly: "Are you really embarrassed to say it...... I thought it was an easy job...... It turned out to be a big loss. ”

Listening to the tone, she seems to have been deceived by Yuki Tatsumi very badly. However, Yu didn't tell the support department about these small details, so now everyone looks at You with a strange look.

And the initiator didn't take it to heart at all, seeing that they were curious, he explained by the way: "It's just a commission." When I first came to Crossbell, I asked Lin and Eolia to be tour guides and take me around the autonomous region. ”

"And it only took 3 hours...... It's even more terrifying than a forced march......" Lin scratched her head dissatisfiedly, her heroic eyebrows furrowed, and it could be seen that she minded this matter very much. Seeing her childlike temper, Aiolia smiled a little dotingly, and hastened to comfort her companion.

"Well, I'm sorry, I got a little carried away that time. Or I'll pay you an extra fee? "It's very refreshing. If it's Mira, he's not lacking.

"Well, when will you come and fight with me once! Practice matches or something. Lin's lilac pupils erupted with scorching battle intent. Compared with the forced march forced by You, she cares more about the strength of this former colleague.

It's rare to find a pure speed fighter like him, and he's also very good at manipulating chains, so it would be a good experience if he played a practice match, right? Lin thought so. Moreover, Yuki Tatsumi is also a celebrity in the Guerrilla Association, after all, he is the one who solved the "Liber Mutation" with Estelle and Joshua, and it is difficult to think of being famous. Lin had long had the idea of fighting him.

The way Aioria looked at her, where did she not know what her companion was thinking? She also turned her head and looked at Yu Tatsumi seriously. And then found ............

"It's so cute!"

Aioria's gaze moved from Yu's face to her waist, then from her waist to the chain box behind her, and then jumped to Theo and Hoo, who were standing behind him.

The small, soft body, the fleshy and bulging face, the big, bright eyes, the cold expression like a little adult, and the glasses and the expression that looks like an elementary schooler, are so cute!

There is a saying that people fall in love with someone or something, but in fact there is an eros who shoots them in the heart with a bow and arrow. Aioria felt like she had been pierced through her heart by ten thousand arrows, and her heart was pounding.

Arios sighed softly as he watched the topic be pulled away again.

Michelle smiled and patted the man who was overly serious.

It looks like it will take a while for the conversation to get back on track.

――――――――――――――――――――

All kinds of gossip took a lot of time, but the main topic ended surprisingly quickly.

There is no way, there is too little information, and there is basically no progress except for confirming that the Karumen consortium will definitely make some moves......

Michelle slammed his rough knuckles on the table with a clear sound, a sign of his anxiety. When he is in an agitated mood, he can't help but start knocking things.

Now that everyone is scattered, the guerrilla association is also very busy with its work on weekdays, and it is one thing to deal with the "propaganda" of the Karumun consortium, but before people cause trouble, the guerrilla association cannot be idle.

Eventually, Michelle and Lloyd agreed that the Support Section would help the Guerrilla Association handle some of the commissions, and then divide the staff into two teams, the Guerrillas and the Special Missions Support Section. The Support Division is mainly responsible for reconnaissance inside the city, while the guerrillas are fully responsible for the outside of the city. If you find out about the Karuman Foundation's movements, you will immediately exchange information.

Two departments with similar functions temporarily unify each other's goals.

Michelle muttered to herself.

"But I wonder if they can be relied on? Well...... If you're around, you shouldn't have to worry. ”
