"So...... From now on, it's time to get to work. ”

In the early morning, Chief Sergei dragged a lazy voice to a meeting for the five people, his eyes were misty, and he looked listless.

Sergei, who was about to stand up and go back to the section chief's office to squint for a while, noticed five pairs of eyes staring at him, and scratched his hair a little impatiently: "Okay, okay, anyway, I'll just add two more sentences." ”

Ellie couldn't help but sweat on her forehead: Section chief, is this really okay?

"You guys, get out the police manual. There are some caveats written on this, as well as some notes on tactical force guides. That's all right......"

"Oh? It's this black notebook with the police badge printed on it, right? Randy said as he pulled it out of his coat pocket. It looks like an investigation! ”

"It can also be used as a symbol of the police." Ellie added. Unlike the other people's blank notes, Ellie had already begun to record the actions of several people in detail during the last exploration of the underground space.

"Oh, it's something like a guerrilla manual." You said this, shrugged his shoulders, and added with a helpless expression: "However, my guerrilla manual and badge were returned when I left the association, otherwise I can still make a reference." ”

Recalling the lectures at the police academy, Lloyd explained: "According to the police department's regulations, no matter what kind of investigation mission, it is necessary to keep detailed records. Once you have accepted the assignment, write down all the details in the manual. The completion of tasks will also affect attendance assessment and special allowance depending on the recorded situation. ”

"It's so troublesome......" Randy looked disgusted, this kind of clerical work was too much trouble for him.

"I see, it's very reasonable." Ellie nodded in agreement, and made a mental note of it.

"Well, it's a little special in our support section." Sergei yawned as he spoke.

"Section Chief, cheer up a little too." Lloyd interrupted with a laugh. This chief can always make him feel helpless.

"Okay, okay, I got it." Sergei said, scratching his head vigorously, as if this would make him sober up a bit. "In addition to the task given to us by the police headquarters, our support section will also have a support mission - Theo, I'll leave it to you."

Theo nodded and stood up. "Guys, look here."

What was a messy pile of steel yesterday is now assembled. It is mainly square, and the metal plates are spliced into a hard profile. A square board is placed diagonally on it, revealing a glowing blue light. Several people surrounded it, and Lloyd took a closer look at it and confirmed, "This is not the day before yesterday......"

"It's a terminal connected to the guide network." Ellie said.

Theo nodded, continuing to explain, "It was done last night, and basically, it's going to stay running. With that, Theo pressed a key in the dense crowd of keys. With a knock sound, the originally dark screen lit up with a blue light, and dense text surfaced.

Randy whistled, "Seems to have some words?" ”

Lloyd was also stunned and asked, "Shall we ...... Accept the assignment here? ”

You smiled slightly and said, "It feels like Capel's mass-produced type." [Note: Kapel is the conductor terminal used in the central workshop in the Liber Zeiss area.] Note 2: If readers who have never played the game find it difficult to understand, just think of it as a desktop computer. 】

Theo's eyes lit up: "You's seniors have seen Capel?" ”

"Well, not only have I seen it, but I have also used it myself on a mission. Feel...... Technology is amazing. You said this, with a relieved expression on his face, as if thinking of Liber's companion.

Section Chief Sergei yawned again and explained to the confused people: "In the future, your tasks will be accepted from here." In addition to regular tasks, there will also be various commissions, such as commissions from citizens and tourists, such as commissions from the city hall. But what...... It's okay if you don't do these tasks. ”

Lloyd frowned, the tasks of the police department are all tough tasks that cannot be selected, this kind of task that can be done or not has never been heard of, and, from the mouth of the section chief, he always feels that there is another meaning.

"If these tasks are left alone, there will be people from the Guerrilla Association to help deal with them." Sergei said this, and a narrow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Slightly narrowed eyes glanced at Lloyd, who was the interim captain.

"The guerrillas are highly regarded by the citizens, and we police have to redeem them somewhat, right?" Ellie put on a reassuring expression.

"Well, it looks like you're still doing your old job." Yu Tatsumi said this, smiling wryly and shaking his head.

"Well, that's right. Also, when the headquarters is busy, I might call you over. For example, patrolling in the city, and then for example, unimportant copywriting or something. Sergei added.

"Hey, spare me......" Randy cried, he really hated working with words. Rather than write a report, he would rather fight all day without supplies.

Randy's weakness drew a burst of laughter from his teammates, and even Sergei hooked the corners of his mouth.

Theo continued to operate the terminal, and suddenly an interface popped up, and Lloyd leaned in curiously: "This is...... Support request? ”

Sergai nodded, and said as he walked towards the section chief's office: "Well, that's pretty much it, you can solve the rest by yourself, don't forget to record." ”

"Hey, section chief, wait a minute......" Lloyd hurriedly stopped him, the section chief left without giving an order, is it really good?

"It's up to you to do what you want, by the way, if you suggest it, since it's the first day of work, make some achievements, so that the big people in the headquarters shouldn't be sarcastic about you."

That's not the problem...... Lloyd thought with some weakness. Lloyd, who had always received a standard police academy education, was always unable to keep up with Chief Sergei's train of thought.

"Wait, wait a minute, section chief, don't keep thinking about leaving......" Seeing Sergei heading towards the section chief's room again, Lloyd stopped him again with a little entanglement.

"I'm different from you, I'm very busy......"

As if he couldn't stand Lloyd a little, Sergei turned around, looked at Lloyd with a straight face, and as he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and lit one for himself. The smoke spread through the not-so-wide space, and Theo quietly stepped back.

It turns out that we misunderstood the section chief? Seeing Sergei looking so serious, the five people of the Support Section couldn't help but think of it. After all, he is the section chief, so there must be a lot of documents and things to deal with, right?

Sergei took a deep breath of his cigarette and continued: "Although I have been staying in the chief's room, I still have to take a nap and read a magazine, so it's best not to bother me if there is anything wrong or not, and try to solve it yourself - what do you think I found you for...... Forehead...... Action guidance. ”

"Section Chief, you just obviously forgot about Senior You's position." Theora lowered her eyes to look at him. Sergei smiled noncommittally, continued walking, opened the door, and then the slightly decadent back disappeared completely, leaving the five young men looking at each other.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I feel it...... Police are an easy job. You smiled a little embarrassedly, although he had made mental preparations, he had never seen similar people after all, and he was not prepared enough.

"What an irresponsible uncle......" Randy sighed as well. The commander of the garrison at Belgaard Gate, where he used to be, was also a similar person, a middle-aged man who rose to the top with the support of the Imperial Legislature, who mingled with various banquets and socialized in high society every day, and handed over all the management of the garrison to his subordinates, and was such a person with no sense of responsibility.

However, if you think about it carefully, although the chief of the Sergei section also looks listless, at least he will still stay in the department building of the support section, if you think about it this way, Sergei is much kinder than the commander of the garrison whose name has been forgotten.

Even Ellie, who was well-cultivated, sighed a little skeptically: "Is it okay to be so casual?" ”

Theo complained expressionlessly, "full of anxiety about the future......"

Lloyd hurriedly snorted: "Let's confirm the content quickly." ”

The content is not long, and the standard electronic text is squarely coded into neat articles. To the effect that a few people went to the police station to listen to the explanation, and the payment was made by a police officer named Rebecca.

"I thought it was something, but it turned out to be an ordinary work contact?" After carefully reading the content, Randy said with some relief. "Anyway, just go to the police station and listen to the explanation, right?"

"Well, I guess so. But...... I finally have a little understanding of the channeling network. Lloyd nodded thoughtfully, as if talking to himself. Ellie agreed, "Unlike communicators, not only voices, but also words and images can be transmitted. I've heard the explanation before, but sure enough, it's different from the real thing. ”

Theo nodded, not knowing why he was a little happy. Theo closed his eyes a little proudly, puffed up his chest subconsciously, and added, "It has now been tested and used all over Crossbell. ”

"So, guys, let's go to the police station first."

Yesterday, when I was on vacation, several people walked around the room more or less, and the police station, a place that I would often visit in the future, was naturally familiar with the road.

At the police station, a receptionist with aqua blue hair and glasses stood in front of the stage.

"It's not little Fran...... A little disappointed. Randy pouted and gave his opinion. Ellie laughed and scolded, "What are you expecting?" ”

Seeing the five people walking towards her, the blue-haired woman saluted.

"It's the Special Mission Support Division."

"Huh? Officer Lloyd? Before the five people could react, the energetic female voice asked. The pink-haired girl hurried a few steps to the blue-haired woman. It was Miss Fran whom Lloyd met when he was reporting.

"Hello, we saw the message on the terminal." Seeing that Fran still remembered him, Lloyd smiled unconsciously.

"When we first met, I was Rebecca, who worked at the reception desk at the Crossbell Police Department."

"I'm Fran Hicka, and I'm also a receptionist who works as a receptionist - hehe, I've talked to a few people a few days ago, so it's not the 'first time we met'."

"But it's still okay." Yu Tatsumi said this and took a step forward. "When we first met, I was Yuki Tatsumi, a newcomer to the Support Division through other channels."

"Yes, indeed." Fran smiled, her expression very warm.

"However, the day before yesterday really made you laugh......" Lloyd thought of the gray and gray reprimanded by the deputy director the day before yesterday, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Specifically, he was robbed of the limelight by the guerrillas and was trained by the deputy director." Theo hit the nail on the head. Such a blunt statement made Lloyd a little embarrassed. Ellie also gently tugged at her sleeve, after all, a lot of things should not be too clear in the open. At least save the embarrassment.

"Ahaha, you guys were really unfortunate at that time." Fran replied with a smile. Rebecca also smiled slightly and said with relief: "Don't mind too much, everyone. Your department has just been established, and there will definitely be things that you are not used to. We'll do our best to help you. ”

Moreover, Deputy Director Pierre is also notoriously incompetent, even if he is scolded in a sharp voice, it basically has no effect except that he is not very comfortable in his heart and ears. No one will feel that "because I was scolded by Deputy Director Pierre, the Support Division is incompetent".

In fact, in the evaluation within the police department, Sergui still slightly surpassed Pierre's. Although Sergei is not much better than him.

"Thank you." Lloyd brace himself. After being comforted, cheering up is the best response to people's kindness. Randy also smiled, "With your words, we have confidence." Of course, Randy wasn't embarrassed or depressed before.

"Thank you, could you please give us a little more information about the support request?" Ellie quickly cut to the point.

Miss Rebecca nodded.

"Well, no problem, then, I'll start explaining it right away."

On the same day, in the department building of the Special Mission Support Section, Lloyd and five others gathered next to the guidance terminal. Inside the screen is the young face of the receptionist Fran, but because of the screen, the whole face is a little blue.

The Police Department has assigned a dedicated liaison to the Special Mission Support Section, Miss Fran. This makes Randy very happy - sure enough, the liaison has to be such a young and energetic young lady~~

By the way, just after Randy said that, Theo kicked him hard in the calf, causing the slightly flirtatious man to crouch down with his leg in his arms.

However, what exactly is it because it is suitable for testing the guide network here that it is assigned to the Support Division? Or is it because the section chief won it? This is unknown......

The support section's steering terminal is connected to the "steering network", and the support section receives tasks and submits reports from the terminal in the departmental building, except in special cases. On the one hand, it is "improving the efficiency of work and improving the image of the police more effectively" -- Sergei, and on the other hand, it also means testing the guide terminal and the guide network.

However, being able to accept the task without leaving home still makes Randy feel very comfortable. At least it feels comfortable.

Accept the task, go to the client to confirm, write the action into the manual, show the manual to the screen of Fran, and finally get an evaluation......

"Well, isn't this a guerrilla......" Yuya Tatsumi couldn't help but laugh. I thought it was going to be a bit of a police style. ”

"Haha......" Lloyd could only smile a little embarrassedly and didn't reply to him.

Now the five are trying to use the terminal in the department building to submit a report - a report on coming to the police station to receive explanations.

"Confirmed, Miss Ellie's record is detailed."

In the picture, Fran said with a happy smile, as if she was also a party herself, and she was sincerely happy for the support department.

By the way, the report submitted this time also included the first mission to go to the underground space to carry out the mission, which was supposed to be reported on the same day, but that day I was first reprimanded by the deputy director, and then I was called to the department building by Section Chief Sergei for unknown reasons, so it was delayed.

"Thanks for the compliment." Ellie smiled and nodded.

"So, I'll send me a new request for support." After Fran finished speaking, with a dripping sound, Fran's face disappeared from the screen.

Opening the inbox, three new requests for support lie inside.

"Hey, there are few accidents." There was a hint of happiness in Randy's voice, less tasks meant easier - in Randy's vision, this new department should be given a lot of chores at once.

But if you think about it, this new department doesn't even know a little about members like them, let alone others. The police department does not give them important things, and the people have always been distrustful of the police and are not very willing to delegate them. Thinking about it this way, such a cold and lonely is in line with the support department that has just been established.

The missions are to help find lost property, confirm uninhabited places, and wanted monsters in the underground space.

It's all chores......

"Is there another Monster in the underground space......" Randy's expression was a little complicated.

"Wanted Monsters......" Lloyd couldn't help but think of the great strength that Arios showed during the last mission.

Seeing his mood, Ellie patted him lightly on the back, hoping to calm him down a little.

"Well, even if you don't do it, there will be guerrillas who will deal with it." You said this, with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

"No, guys, let's finish all three tasks."

After just a few breaths, Lloyd had adjusted his mindset, his expression was determined and full of confidence.

"Oh, do you want to vent your anger for yesterday's events?" Randy asked.

"Not exactly. At that time, it was indeed because of Mr. Arrios's help...... However, if we are prepared, we should be able to repel him on our own. After all, it's the first day of work, so it's a good start, how about it? Lloyd said in one breath, looking at his teammates with a determined expression.

"That's right." Ellie nodded. Theo also said, "It's troublesome, but you have a point. ”

Randy patted Lloyd on the shoulder: "Isn't it good, it's been robbed of the limelight, and it must be snatched back." ”

"I have no objection. It's not clear what happened to you last time, but the mission should be done anyway. You said this, and a smile appeared on his face.

I thought Lloyd would have to hesitate a little longer, but I didn't expect him to make a decision so quickly. And, with a determined expression, this kind of person is a good leader, and they will unconsciously attract and unite their teammates.

"May I ask you more, do you know Istelle?" You asked suddenly.

"No, who is she?"

"Well, forget it then."

Help the town hall correct the number of vacant houses......

Help a guest from the Republic find his lost luggage......

As a result, the five of them basically circled the city of Crossbell......

"Do guerrillas have to deal with this kind of thing every day......" Randy sighed a little helplessly.

"Well, it's not every day, but we do get this type of task a lot." You replied with a smile.

Now that the five of them had just come out of the client of the Millennium Hotel on Happy Street, Randy sat down on the steps of the door of the Rainbow Theater without any image.

It's not very tiring, but I need to search everywhere and ask everywhere, which is unexpectedly very laborious......

Seeing Randy sitting with a lot of tricks, Ellie couldn't help but wonder. Instead, Theo complained with a displeased face: "It's too embarrassing, Randy senior......"

"That...... Sorry, can you give me that? ”

Just when the five of them were resting for a while, a somewhat weak voice suddenly came from the door of the Rainbow Theater.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Randy apologized and quickly got up, and the five of them split their ways. I saw a beautiful woman with dark purple hair standing in the doorway carrying a large handbag, wearing a casual hooded vest. It must be an actor from the troupe, right? She bowed down to thank you and left.

"Wow, that's beautiful." Randy just wanted to whistle, but immediately thought that whistling was too frivolous, and he didn't seem to have much respect for the two young ladies on his side.

"Is it...... Theo's voice was a little frustrated, looking at her distant figure, then at Ellie, and finally at her chest, expressionless......

Uh, just the girl...... It's really well developed...... Like Theo, Ellie, as a woman, first reacted to a certain part, and she secretly tightened her armpits, mentally comparing the gap between herself and the girl just now.

It has to be mentioned that Ellie and the purple-haired girl just now are both fully developed types, while Theo is the completely undeveloped type...... However, Ellie is eighteen years old, and Theo is only fourteen, so there is still room for development...... Probably.

Lloyd inadvertently noticed his companion's movements, but he wisely chose to shut up and cast his eyes on Yu-Tatsumi, where he found that he was in a daze.

"Well, that's exactly what I like." Noticing that Lloyd looked at himself again, You smiled half-truthfully. "But, instead of that, we should settle the last commission, right?"
