In the central square of Crossbell, Lloyd and the other four stood in the crowd a little tired, saying goodbye to a man with short purple hair and a gentle face.

They had little useful information in the village of Almolica. After all, it was a case almost a month ago, and it happened in the middle of the night, and there were basically no eyewitnesses, and the loss in Almolica Village was mainly due to the destruction of fields, there were no casualties, and the amount of damage was only about 100,000 meters, which is not big for a village.

Moreover, they recently made a business with a kind businessman, and when they learned that the village had been affected, they deliberately increased the price of the goods by 20%. Although he is nominally trying to monopolize market share, everyone knows that he just wants to do his part. It is also because of this business that has basically made up for this loss, and the village chief has basically given up pursuing this incident.

If there is anything to gain, it is to enjoy the beautiful rural scenery, taste the unique flavor of omelet rice, and hear about an interesting myth and legend.

Regarding the snow-white wolf-shaped monster, its name is "Divine Wolf".

Legend has it that the Divine Wolf is a sacred beast sent by the goddess to witness the stupidity of people and save weak humans when Crossbell was involved in bloody wars in ancient times. However, in today's rapid development of Crossbell, people's respect and belief in the divine wolf have gradually disappeared. Not even the locals, Lloyd and Ellie, had ever heard of it, let alone the transitors and tourists.

The village chief mentioned that they may have reappeared to sound the alarm for something.

However, this is just a myth, and if the mythical wolf is regarded as a prisoner and written into a report, I am afraid that the upper authorities will directly abolish this department. So, the four of them walked around the village of Almolica, admiring the idyllic scenery and questioning all the residents, but unfortunately there were no clues.

However, just before the four of them returned, Theo's sensors heard a sound similar to a wolf's howl, and it was almost certain that the wolf-shaped monster was real. Because the guide bus would not return for some time, the four of them agreed to the suggestion of the good businessman from earlier and took his car back to the autonomous prefecture.

Harold Haivas, a businessman with a small reputation in the Autonomous Region.

With docile purple hair and a gentle countenance, well-dressed, and a gentle and modest manner, he is the kind of person who will make a very good first impression.

"Thank you very much, sorry for the trouble." Lloyd thanked him. Harold saved them nearly thirty minutes of waiting for the bus, which might have been a crucial time in any other case.

"Nothing, just a drop-by. Your investigation should also be refueled - I will stand with you. Harold smiled gently, waved his hand, and the gentle smile warmed the hearts of Lloyd and the other four - the support department has been meeting strange and incomprehensible people recently, and this kind of warm expression is really rare.

Theo's eyes rolled, his bright yellow eyes stared at Harold, and he said lightly: "Since you want to support us, if you have any difficulties in the future, please be sure to come to the support department to find us." ”

Advertising is a must. Doing things silently will not be recognized by the broad masses of the people.

"Yes, yes, if you can, don't go to the guerrilla association, give priority to us!" Randy also followed the advertisement, especially if he showed such a blatant disagreement with the guerrilla association, if there were guerrillas nearby, I was afraid that it would cause a skirmish, at least the quarrel was indispensable.

"You two, ......"

"It's too explicit......"

Lloyd and Ellie sighed very tacitly, although they wanted to advertise, but what these two people said was too straightforward.

"Haha, I have to advertise occasionally." Randy gave Lloyd a thumbs up and grinned as if it were some act from a stage play.

Theo nodded in agreement: "Publicity is very important for business activities. ”

Seeing that the relationship between the four of them was very good, Harold smiled heartily and felt a little more steady: "I understand, if I encounter difficulties in the future, I will visit you unceremoniously - then, I will say goodbye first, everyone, come on work." ”

"What a nice guy." Lloyd sighed that it is rare to see such a kind businessman now.

"The level of good people is basically comparable to Lloyd's predecessors." Theo said meaninglessly, glancing at the captain's side face, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey...... I always feel that Miss Theo, you have something to say......" Lloyd asked with a wry smile. Theo turned his head: "You're thinking too much. ”

Judging by your expression, I definitely didn't think much of it...... Lloyd sneered.

"Okay, cheer up, we'll have to at least investigate the medical university today." As soon as Lloyd finished speaking, he heard two dissatisfied "hey". Randy shrugged, chuckled, and slapped his big hand on Lloyd's shoulder. Lloyd nodded resignedly, and reluctantly compromised.

"Okay, let's go back to the Support Section and recuperate before we do that."

――――――――――――

In the Guerrilla Guild, Joshua, who has black hair and two knives, and Michelle, who is dressed in pink, are chatting about whether they are a match or not.

The conversation with the Heartless Sword Saint Xia Xiyan was unexpectedly short, Arios himself also had a job, so he would naturally bother for too long, and Joshua and the two were not familiar with each other, mainly because of work considerations, so he stayed and exchanged a few words, so that he would not be face-to-face if he had to deal with him in the future.

At the same time as Arios took his leave, Joshua also took his leave and returned to the Guild to wait for Istelle.

As the two of them were talking about Liber's performance at the time of the mutation, Estelle pushed open the door of the guild with a panicked expression.

"Oops, oops, oops! It's gone! ”

"Uh...... Estelle, do you slow down? ”

Facing his sister-in-law and lover, Joshua tried to soothe her emotions. Impatient gibberish only makes things worse.

"Hexu, it's Hexu! We were shopping at the Times store, and if one didn't pay attention, she was gone! Hearing her say this, Joshua noticed that she still had large bags of clothes hanging from her arms, one of which contained Storega's new sneakers, and she had guessed in her heart. He couldn't help but sigh and speculated:

"Estelle, you didn't suddenly take a fancy to these sneakers and just throw them aside, right?"

"Uh...... It's almost ......" Estelle also lowered her head in embarrassment, if something really happened to Hexu, she would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"So, have you looked for all the malls?" Joshua asked.

"Well, it looks like she was taken away by her father, a man in a dark red suit." Estelle was just ill-conceived, but not stupid, and found out that he was separated from Hexu, so he searched for it in the mall as soon as possible. However, at this time, Hexu had already dragged Vincent to the support department, and he happened to be staggered with Estelle.

"Father?"

"Well, it is said that it is very bad for Hexu...... What to do, Joshua! Estelle was nervous, afraid that the man was not her father, but a human trafficker or something.

Joshua is still very calm, unlike Istelle, his thinking is very rational, not that he is not worried, in fact, Joshua is also worried about death in his heart, there are too many things that can leave a psychological shadow on a child. However, panic alone will not solve the problem. What's more, Estelle was already panicking, and if Joshua was also in a mess, it would be really a desperate situation.

“…… Is it confirmed that the Support Division is there? ”

Joshua asked calmly. Let's say, assuming that person has a relationship with Hexu, then, at this time, Hexu is most likely in the support department. Even if it doesn't matter, human traffickers generally won't abduct Hexu so openly, not to mention, Hexu is very clever and shouldn't be deceived.

"Ah...... Not yet...... I'll just dial it! Estelle said, pulling out Anigema and sending a message to the Support Section.

Michelle smiled and held his chin, watching the two discuss, these two people, one is enthusiastic and full of action, the other is rational and calm, clear thinking logic, and they are combined to learn from each other's strengths, no wonder the contact said that although the two of them are only B-level, but if they are together, they can be used as two experienced A-level guerrillas.

"No, no one ......answers"

There were a few rings and no one answered, and Estelle looked worried. Joshua shook his head and reassured, "Don't worry too much, maybe you didn't hear it." Do you remember, the communication device of the support department is on the first floor, what if everyone happens to be not on the first floor, or it is inconvenient to go to the toilet? ”

This was unlikely, and Joshua himself did not believe in such speculation, but he spoke it out to comfort Steele. Sure enough, Stepelle was a little relieved, and at least spoke with some logic: "So, let's go bother again, shall we?" ”

"yes, okay."

Joshua said, giving Mr. Michelle an apologetic look. After all, this is the first day of work for the two, and it turns out that they don't do anything until noon, which is really unreasonable.

Michelle waved his hand generously. Although he always complained about the lack of manpower, he still did not ask them to start work immediately.

Acquiescing, Estelle bowed gratefully to Michelle and ran out with Joshua.

――――――――――

At this time, there were three people in the living room of the support department.

Chief Sergei seems to have something to do and hasn't come back since he left the house in the morning. Rui, who didn't dare to come out in the room on the fourth floor, and Hexu, who packed his luggage in the room on the third floor.

On the first floor, there were only Illya and Lixia, and between them stood a neutral beauty with long black hair.

"Well, it's not bad, it's not bad, come on, I'll take a look around." Illya held her arms and pinched her smooth chin with her slender thumb, and looked at the "masterpiece" in front of her with her eyes shining.

"Yes......"

The beauty with long black hair who was surrounded by the two of them answered in a low voice, and obediently turned in circles.

She wore the costume of the Moon Maiden that Lixia had worn earlier, a bikini-like high-revealing dance costume adorned with a beautiful blue and white ribbon, and because of the size of a certain part, she held her chest in her right hand to keep it from falling. There were several shocking scars on her exposed skin, the word slave on her shoulders was obscured by the neckline of her dance dress, and her face was a stoic expression of resignation, and her long black hair drew angular lines on her face.

It always feels like I'm back to Saiaru again. It's a familiar feeling.

She thought so, waiting for Illya's next instructions. The communicator rang for a long time, but Illya didn't allow her to move, so she didn't pick it up.

"Lixia, what do you think?" Illya asked her companion or accomplice in a merchandising tone.

"Uh...... Well...... Indeed, it's beautiful......" Lixia also had to admit that the slender woman in front of her was very charming, and the scar and the expression on her face blended just right, like a delicate flower that rebelled against the wind and rain, people couldn't help but be fascinated by her tenacity and wanted to shelter her from the wind and rain.

"Please don't say Miss Lixia......" glancing at Lixia with sad eyes, the black-haired beauty continued in a mournful male voice, "I thought that at least you were on my side, no, at least neutral...... Didn't expect ......"

Yes, this beauty with long black hair is Yuki Tatsumi.

The scars on her body were carefully handled by Illya, and she used foundation to hide the hard edges of the men as much as possible, put on a wig, and changed into Lixia's dance costume. The originally slender former guerrilla suddenly became a pitiful newcomer to the Rainbow Troupe. Although it is a little higher than the average woman, this can also be confused by personal differences, and it is not a fatal injury.

"Well, I have my troubles too......" Lixia smiled, her pupils sideways and not looking at him. If I hadn't helped Miss Elijah, I'd be the one who wanted to cry without tears now...... I'm sorry, Youjun...... I'll make it up to you if I can. So, try to live.

Just when Lixia was thinking nonsense, she heard a squeak, and the main entrance of the support department was pushed open.
