"Finally...... It's done safely. ”

On the train, the brown-haired boy sighed to the girl opposite.

His hair had just been cut, and the sharp cuts could be seen in the corners, as he had shown to be clean, wearing a blue and white jacket with Crossbell's badge on the back. obviously has a baby face, but it gives people a refreshing feeling, and it doesn't look childish.

The woman sitting across from him was dressed in a white military uniform and wore what looked like a reliable protective gear on her arms and calves. Competent, neat, and erect, as if all the words used to praise the knight were not too much for her. He wore a white beret on his head, short reddish-brown hair, and a resolute glow in his clean and clear eyes, just like the serious impression of a soldier.

Lloyd? Bannings, and Noelle? Shika.

The two were sitting on the train, the train was speeding away, the lush trees and vast fields outside the clean windows were speeding away, and the two were returning to Crossbell.

Today, the two of them happened to be on a seizure mission in the "Altai City" of the next republic, which is a foreign border, and it takes about 30 minutes each way.

Moreover, because it is a foreign country, there are quite a lot of troubles in terms of procedures and time limits for arrest. If it is not handled well, it will be seized by the Republic and make irresponsible remarks. The Republic also offered to assist in the arrest of Crossbell, but was denied. I'm afraid it's because if it is accepted, the republic will make irresponsible remarks about the affairs of the army, right?

The two were accompanied by Dudley Investigator, who was temporarily a teacher of Lloyd, and a guerrilla who represented a neutral position, St. Arios, the Sword of the Wind. However, the two had already escorted the target back in advance.

"Hmm. Truly. If only he could be safely sent to prison. ”

Noelle replied seriously.

The awe-inspiring temperament is not angry and arrogant, even on the train, even on the way back, she still sits meticulously and does not give herself any chance to slack off.

Lloyd smiled and said that there were two escorts to him, so there was no need to worry about it.

It's better to say that the guys who should be worried about are the people who don't know each other and come to rob people.

However, Noelle's concern for Lloyd is understandable.

After all, the two of them went to arrest one of the sinners who once caused Crossbell's chaos, Aneste. As the former mayor's secretary, he was imprisoned for an attempted assassination of the mayor, then escaped from prison, and then followed Joasim, took True Knowledge, and turned into a demon. After the defeat of the Sun Fortress, he took advantage of the chaos to escape, kidnap the former speaker of the parliament, Harman, and flee to the ruins of the former D∴G Order in Altai City, the Republic, in a vain attempt to make a comeback.

The two of them are here to arrest the remnants of D∴G. After all, it was the one who caused that level of turmoil, and it was normal for Noelle, who loved Crossbell immensely, to be worried - who knows how many remnants of the D∴G Order remain?

Altai City is a foreign country, so Crossbell could not discharge the army openly, nor could he choose too many people, and in the end only four of them were selected to carry out the arrest operation.

The elite of the search department, Dudley, who is known as the best search officer.

Now we are searching for Lloyd, who belongs to the First Division, who once solved the Joachim incident.

Noelle, a member of the Wehrmacht, in the special combat squad? Shika.

Crossbell's patron saint, neutral guerrilla, Arios.

There is no problem in terms of strength or position.

Lloyd smiled and pulled the conversation away, trying to make Noelle relax with something lighthearted.

"But Noelle, you've changed a lot."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the weapon beside Noelle, a massive, barely what could be described as a firearm. It is very similar to Randy's Berserker and the heavy machine gun of the Karuman Consortium, but it is a little more slender than them, with a double muzzle, the upper one is the muzzle that fires guided bullets, and the lower one is the gunpowder live ammunition muzzle, depending on the caliber, it is not difficult to fire small gun grenades. Foldable blades hung under the muzzle and at the tail of the gun for white-knuckle combat.

In the previous battle, Noelle used this terrifying killing weapon to the fullest. The awe-inspiring majesty of her soldiers made Lloyd awe-inspired.

How to say it, I'm used to watching her and You Chensi play around on weekdays, and after You Chensi is gone, I finally have the impression that "Noelle is so powerful".

Yes...... It's as if you're dead.

Lloyd smiled wryly.

Not noticing Lloyd's delicate psychological changes, Noelle listened to him say that he had changed, and then watched his gaze fall on the gun, thinking that he was talking about his own weapon. She was a little embarrassed to touch her comrades who were still fighting side by side just now, it should have been a cold piece of iron, but the position of the gun chamber had a warm aftertaste.

"Ah, indeed. If it had been me, I probably wouldn't have accepted this weapon. ”

The first thing the Speaker of the Amendment Council did in the reorganization of the Wehrmacht was the massive allocation of weapons to the Karuman consortium. He forged a badly shrunken order for weapons, which he said to the Reich was to fight against the Republic, to the Republican to fight against the Empire, and to the Crossbellians against the two great powers, and the quality of a statesman was brought into full play.

By the time the two great powers noticed, the Wehrmacht was already strong enough to rival foreign armies. At this time, the Speaker of the Revised Council used the relationship between the Karumun Consortium and the Saiyalu Empire, and the toughness of the fox and the tiger to deter the two powers from blindly going to war, and the result was that although the two powers were angry, they just had nothing to do with him.

If it was the former Noelle, I am afraid that he would have chosen to leave the army to fight against this injustice.

Now, however, Noelle is no longer a narrow-minded "righteous girl". Looking at You Chensi for so long, one of the deepest feelings is that there is no clear dividing line between justice and evil.

Water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, and a sword can kill or save people. This is such a dialectical relationship.

"yes, I feel like Noelle has changed a lot."

"Hmm. Has it changed for the better? ”

Noelle responded with a smile, both of them used to work in the Special Mission Support Section, and they were both genuine - unlike the eldest lady who experienced life, the genius sent by the consortium, the one who was fired from the garrison, and the killer who passed by, these two people are real policemen and real soldiers, and naturally they also have a good feeling.

The two, who have always had a good relationship, talked about casual topics.

"Speaking of which, Lloyd, has your transfer letter arrived?"

"Ah, here it is."

Lloyd carefully took a letter from his pocket and unfolded it to Noelle.

It was a reassignment document.

Transferred Lloyd from Search Section 1 to the Special Mission Support Section.

Noelle smiled, and also took out a document from his personal pocket, and the receiving unit also wrote "Special Mission Support Section". However, Noelle's document was not a "transfer" document but a "temporary assignment" document. That is, she is still a member of the army.

After the events of Joasim, the Support Section was disbanded, and everyone went their separate ways to do what they could. Now that the autonomous prefecture has settled down, it is finally possible to reorganize the Special Mission Support Section.

Today's mission is the final mission of the two people, and from tomorrow onwards, you will be a member of the Special Mission Support Section.

"Dear passengers, at the end of this train, Crossbell has arrived at ......"

"Let's go, Noelle."

――――

"Yo, boy."

As soon as the two got out of the car, they heard the voice of a lazy middle-aged uncle, and saw a man leaning on a pillar, exuding a lazy atmosphere all over his body, greeting the two with a cigarette in his mouth, and raising his right hand casually to show that he was waving.

"Branch...... The deputy director is self-respecting...... Too lazy, right? ”

Lloyd looked at his former boss, Sergei? Ron's messy hair and messy stubble could only smile wryly. Even if this person is promoted to deputy director, he still looks sloppy.

"Ah, it's troublesome, you learn something good from Dudley, why do you want to complain about everything. And, if you're not used to it, just keep calling me section chief. ”

By the way, in addition to the promotion, Deputy Director Sergei is also serving as the head of the support section, so it doesn't matter if Lloyd really calls him section chief.

"Lloyd. Welcome back. ”

Beside him, a beautiful girl with long dove gray hair smiled at her gently. The hair is long and straight, it is the long hair of the goddess of countless boys' dreams, the figure is exquisitely puffy, and the temperament is gentle and elegant, it is simply the girlfriend of dreams.

At this time, she was looking at Lloyd with emerald eyes, greeting him.

"Ellie. I am back. ”

"Ellie, I'm going to ask for more advice again!"

The two hurriedly returned the salute.

"Hee-hee, it's really a serious and somewhat boring greeting."

Next to Ellie, a beautiful girl with short green hair said. She wears a white crop top with a brown jacket and brown trousers and has a slender body.

Bah.

It's not a beautiful girl, it's a beautiful boy.

Waji? Hermisfia.

The leader of the delinquent youth group [Holy Book Society]. He is also a new member of the Special Assignments Support Section.

This is a figure elected by the Speaker of the Speaker and the Mayor of Dita.

So, sometimes I really can't figure out what the big guys above are thinking. Lloyd smiled bitterly and replied to Waji: "Waji, you are also there." ”

"Well, it's always been there. I was worried in my heart, worried about whether something would happen to Lloyd Jun, and I didn't want to be seen by you. This tangled mood ......"

Waji said, his tone was soft, and his movements were twisted, reminiscent of a shy girl in love.

Lloyd sighed, "I said, you're kidding me, right?" ”

"Ahh See? ”

"Of course......"

This delinquent young leader, no matter how you look at it, is a hedonist, good at jokes, and enjoys the other party's troubled expression very much. Lloyd smiled wryly and said, "Don't always bully me." ”

"Actually...... I'm serious...... Even if Lloyd Jun is loved by so many people......"

"Hey—"

Ellie's voice rose several degrees when she heard him say this, and her face quickly burned with a flush.

Lloyd waved his hand again and again: "Don't believe it! Waji, you too! Don't make jokes like that! ”

As a result, the two laughed together when they saw Lloyd's flustered expression. Lloyd understood at once, the two colluded and joked about themselves!

"Really, you two ......"

Lloyd could only smile wryly.

"Hehe, no matter when you watch it, it's so happy. There is a feeling of a 'support department'. ”

Noelle smiled nostalgically, in the days before the disbandment of the Support Section, she returned to the garrison because of the transfer order, and did not accompany the Support Section to the end. Now, she finally has a feeling of rejoining the Support Section.

"Hey?! In the year I've been away, have you all been so happy to bully Lloyd-kun! ”

Waji's eyes widened in surprise, and surprise was written on his indistinguishable face, which made Lloyd feel even more speechless: What the hell are you expecting?

Everyone was chatting at the station, and Lloyd always felt that something was missing......

Counted the number of people......

"Ah...... Didn't Kia come along? ”

Lloyd looked around, looking for the little figure.

Normally, at this time, Kia would fly into her arms. Although it's a bit of a show-off to say this, his relationship with Kia is indeed the best.

"Ah...... She~"

Waji giggled, Ellie smiled silently, and the reaction of the two made Lloyd and Noelle feel strange.

"Front, angle 30, right deviation 40."

"Ahead - angle 30, right deviation 40~~"

The calm male voice finished speaking, followed by a cheerful and immature female voice.

The voices of the two men echoed across the platform, and Lloyd couldn't find out where it was for a moment.

"Launch!"

"Launch—"

And then, another cheerful duet!

The little figure rushed over quickly! Lloyd was startled and subconsciously wanted to dodge, and then, his body lifted his dodge stance.

Because, the retina confirmed the identity of the other party first.

With long green hair and cute clothes, the little Kia cannonball was flying into Lloyd's arms again, and he spread his arms wide......

Boom!

It really sounds like a cannonball. Lloyd ate a Kia cannonball on his chest.

The cute girl put her arms around Lloyd's neck and grinned and pressed her head to his chest.

"Lloyd - welcome back!"

She said energetically.

Lloyd endured the pain, smiling and touching her head, but his eyes looked around, looking for another man.

A man who would greet him in such a strange way...... He knew only one.

Next to him, Noelle obviously thought of who the other party was, and his eyes were wide open.

"Yo two."

He didn't tease the two too much, and showed up honestly.

"Welcome back - and, I'm back."

"Yu Tatsumi?!" X2 (To be continued.) )
