Everywhere in the Old Town, you can see the guards running up and down.

It's funny and a strange joke, but that's the best way to describe it.

Holding all kinds of measuring tools that have never been seen before, he is measuring and recording on the ruins. It's as if you want to analyze the specifications of the monster last night from this dilapidated scene, and then formulate a corresponding battle plan.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

If that kind of monster appears, if it were another country, it would definitely be an army dispatched now, tracking down the monster, and then making a battle plan. This is the right thing to do.

It's just that Cross Bell's situation is a little different.

First of all, Crossbell doesn't have an army, and secondly, this time the monster is the type that can fly...... The garrison is not even allowed to be equipped with combat vehicles, only armored vehicles, how can there be airships?

There are transport airships carrying passengers, but they can't be requisitioned, right? In that case, there will certainly be "goodwill neighbors" who will offer "goodwill support."

In desperation, the garrison can only carry out the most inefficient global search, and then deduce the basic specifications of the monster from the destruction place of the monster.

That's what Noelle is doing.

That's what she was referring to when she suggested that "Officer Lloyd come and help too." However, Yuki Tatsumi put forward a different view.

Search meetings.

As the name suggests, it is a form in which the police and the investigator synthesize information through a meeting-like method, and finally deduce the next step, or even directly draw conclusions.

Lloyd Bannings, who is officially a search officer, could not have been more familiar with the "search meeting".

So, he wondered why Yuki Tatsumi would bring this up now.

There is too little information to make a search meeting inappropriate. Because nothing can be deduced.

As if seeing through Lloyd's doubts, Yu-Tatsumi smiled confidently: "Of course, I have to reason about where that damn monster went." ”

"But ......"

But now Sergeant Noelle is asking us to work, don't you think it's rude to say that?

Of course, Lloyd didn't say all of this, but only vaguely hinted at You, and in general, he would certainly find out what he meant.

However, before swimming, Noelle understood first, and she smiled and saluted Lloyd: "Thank you for taking me into account, but it's okay." I also want to know the whereabouts of the monster. ”

"Then, since Sergeant Noelle doesn't mind, let's have a search meeting."

Lloyd was no longer humble. Proper politeness can make people feel respected, but excessive can appear fake.

――――――――――――――――

The bar Triniti was packed with more than a dozen people.

Ages are different, clothing is different. The delinquent youths of the Holy Book Society were serving them. Although the essence of the Holy Book Society is a gang of delinquent teenagers, it is still advertised as a "waiter at the bar Trinity", and occasionally has to do some things that a waiter should do. Of course, more members of the Holy Book Society gathered around the table to play billiards.

Seeing someone coming in, Waji smiled and waved his hand in front of the bar, and said with a smile: "Ah, isn't this the hero of the old city?" Would you like a drink? ”

"I mean, you're still a minor (note: Waji is 17 years old, and most of the members of the Holy Book Society and the Sword and Serpent Gang are underage), not to mention it's not good to drink in broad daylight!"

Surprisingly, it was neither Lloyd nor Yu Tatsumi who answered, but Noelle.

This righteous girl can't sit back and watch such an unreasonable thing.

Waji was stunned, and his casual smile froze. The atmosphere froze, and almost everyone was watching this side, and many members of the Holy Book Society were already clearly displeased, and a few of them secretly reached into their pockets and clenched their slingshots.

The Holy Book Society is a group of undesirable teenagers similar to religion, using religion as a metaphor, Waji is the spokesman of God, the son of God, the holy woman, the bishop or the high priest or something, different religions have different classifications, in short, the most prestigious people besides the belief in God.

Noelle questioned Waji as soon as he came up, which of course angered the members of the Holy Book Society.

The corners of Lloyd's eyes jumped, and he complained in his heart about this upright sergeant: Why provoke them if they turn a blind eye and pass away?

You also relented for her uprightness.

"Poof...... Hehehahahaha......ha

Hearty and pleasant laughter. The short green hair shook as the body leaned forward and backward sharply, and the unrestrained movement showed that the owner was in a state of extreme pleasure at this time.

"Yes, what's so funny?"

Being so troubled by him, Noelle asked dissatisfiedly. Waji ignored her, turned his head and continued to say to Yuki Tatsumi, "It's really a wonderful mood every time I see you." Cooking in the lair of the delinquent boys, fighting the mafia with the delinquent boys, and now bringing such interesting people, the support department is really a fun place! Now, are you still short of people? I'm interested! ”

"Yes, there are three empty rooms on the fourth floor, go to the police test, and then transfer to our department."

Yu Tatsumi was very interested in accompanying him.

Now it's Yuki Tatsumi who wants to borrow someone's room, so of course it's not good to make the situation too stiff. Moreover, chatting with Waji about boring things like this always makes me feel a little more relaxed.

As for why he chose to hold the meeting at the bar Trinity, the main reason is that Noelle's place of work is in the old town, and of course it can't be too far away from the old town. Moreover, You is also a little curious about Waji's movements. This teenager always gives people a mysterious feeling, saying that he is an ordinary bad boy, but he seems to know everything.

Could it be that Vaji Hermisfia is actually Dudley's long-lost brother or something, and it just so happens that both of them have green hair. Yu Tatsumi slandered with malice.

"Ah, that's really a charming suggestion, but for the time being, let me refuse~~ Such a boring profession as a police officer is not suitable for me."

Waji smiled, raised his glass, and clinked his glasses to Yuki Tatsumi, then poured the purple-red liquid from the glass into his mouth. Noelle frowned, what he couldn't get used to seeing was what he couldn't get used to, and it was already the limit to be able to endure not to scold the two of them.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Waji ...... Speaking of which, are these the inhabitants of the Old Town? ”

You Gang wanted to talk about borrowing the room, but was suddenly attracted by the decadent people sitting around the table.

As we all know, the main opening hours of bars are at night, and many bars are not even open during the day. Moreover, there were no wine bottles on the table of these people, which further supports Yu's point of view.

These are the people who have been homeless since last night. In order not to hurt their feelings, You especially avoided words like homelessness.

Waji immediately understood what he meant, held his chin, nodded in affirmation, and didn't say much.

"Well, then, is there a private room? We're going to borrow it for the time being. ”

"Private, there's really none. It's a bar and a pool bar. If you don't mind, I'll lend you my personal lounge. ”

In this way, the two simply reached a consensus.

――――――――――――――――

Waji's Lounge has a special flavor.

It's not huge, it's about the same as renting a room. The dimly lit space is occupied by wardrobes, wine cabinets and bookcases, with a wooden table in the middle, surrounded by three sofas, and the guiding lights on the roof are specially adjusted, not white, but similar to cyan and somewhat dreamy colors.

Unexpected simplicity.

This type is rarely seen in the rooms of the delinquent juvenile chief. Generally speaking, shouldn't the room of the leader of the delinquent youth be decorated with tiger skins, with righteous characters written on rice paper, and a religious organization like the Holy Book Society should at least put a statue or something to show faith and piety, right?

Randy curiously pulled a book off the shelf, thinking it would be a pornographic magazine he hadn't read, but it turned out to be a philosophy book with "Ten Weaknesses of Human Nature" written on the cover......

Several people sat down separately, and Waji was very familiar with Lloyd's side.

"The ......"

Lloyd was about to say something, but Waji's index finger fell lightly on his lips, and his body was bewitching, like a charming woman.

"Although an easy-going person like You Jun is quite interesting, a serious captain is even more interesting."

Ignoring Lloyd's questioning, Waji grinned and said something misleading.

Lloyd sighed helplessly, and cast a plea glance at Yu-Tatsumi.

Lloyd is very bad at dealing with Waji's type of person.

"Well, we're going to have an internal meeting here, Waji."

You laughed. It's just the kind of smile that can be called "violent".

If you don't leave, I'll drive you away.

That's what this sentence really means. Waji shrugged innocently, but in the end, he didn't dwell on it and left.

Seeing that Waji was gone, and only the support department and himself were left in the room, Noelle complained dissatisfiedly: "What, that strange tone, and that outfit, what does it look like." ”

Ahaha, it was such a mistake to bring the meticulous Noelle here. Yu Tatsumi quietly admired Noelle's somewhat annoyed appearance, and his heart was inexplicably a little happy.

But am I looking forward to this unfolding in my heart? ………… Oh no, no...... I still have to be a little more restrained, and my nature can't be exposed at such a serious time......

As if autosuggesting, he told himself several times in his heart, and Yu Tatsumi dared to speak for Waji: "Actually, he's not such a bad guy. ”

"Huh?"

"You see, it's a delinquent teenager, but he took in those homeless people when something happened in the old city, right? And when I heard that we were going to get down to business, I didn't dwell too much on it. ”

Hearing You say this, Noelle also felt that it made sense. It's still a little unacceptable, but let's stop complaining.

And...... Yu Tatsumi added in his heart.

I'm afraid he took the initiative to talk to us so that we could relax, although no one said it, but after that kind of thing, except for me, an "outsider", who would not be moved...... Lloyd was always thinking thoughtfully about something, Randy wasn't joking too much, Ellie was barely at a word, and so was Theo...... No, Theo was originally this character, skipping, and Noelle had a forced smile on his face.

was so troubled by Waji, Noelle showed his dissatisfaction so openly, and more or less vented his anger.

Well, of course, it may be that I think too much.
