The village of Almolica is located northeast of the municipality of Crossbell.

Exit the East Gate and head straight east, where you will find a three-way junction and the Almolica Trail to the north.

As far as the scenery is concerned, the whole street is surprisingly clean, with cold-colored lawns, tall mounds with green trees, and faintly smelling the fragrance of the earth and the unknown fragrance of flowers. Today is a very warm sunny day, with plenty of sunshine and a fresh wind.

There are guiding lights that drive away demonic beasts every few distances, and at least it is safe to walk on the stone road. There are tenacious blades of grass growing in the gaps between the stone slabs, and with this little bit of green, the stone pavement is also more vibrant.

No matter how you look at it, it's a great scenery for hiking.

It's just that the four people who are walking in the scenery on this road don't seem to understand it very well.

"It's not there yet......" Ellie sighed, dragging her calf that was starting to ache.

"It's a bit unexpected...... "Theo also drooped her head, her fitness was even worse than Ellie's.

"How? Can you still hold on a bit? Lloyd gasped slightly, and turned to ask his companion.

"Since I proposed it, I should hold on a little longer...... Though I want to say that......" Tio said as she gasped, and as she did so, she bent down and pinched her calf.

"Sure enough, I should take a break." Ellie also gave in a little towel.

Ah, that's a bit of a bad thing. Although Lloyd originally wanted to go to Almolica Village in one go, he and Randy are top students who graduated from the police academy and former members of the garrison, and they are undoubtedly very good in terms of physical fitness.

However, as he expected, Ellie and Theo did not take into account the difference between the distance written on the paper and the distance they actually had to travel. What's more, in order to increase the tacit understanding along the way, they also easily wiped out the demonic beasts they saw, which was a lot of physical exertion.

"Speaking of which, there seems to be a resting place up ahead." Randy said, looking at the map in his hand.

"Hugh, rest house!" The two female team members seemed to see hope all of a sudden.

"If you can't hold on, I can carry you!" Randy suggested to Theo, who looked the most tired, and seeing her petite appearance, Randy rolled his eyes and teased, "Or does Theo prefer to ride his neck?" ”

"Rong, let me refuse, I'm not so naïve yet......" Although Tio was already physically exhausted, he still refused with cold eyes. The tall red-haired man always looked at her like a child, which upset her.

"Speaking of which, Randy's senior won't be happy even if he carries me behind his back." Theo subconsciously glanced down, although he couldn't see it because of the protective gear, but Theo knew that a certain part of him had almost no development. Then, her eyes glanced at Ellie...... Full of envy and jealousy. Provoked by Theo, Randy subconsciously said:

"yes, I also prefer a hot body...... Feed! I don't mean anything else! ”

"Hehe......" Ellie and Lloyd both laughed, and their happy mood seemed to take away a little fatigue.

After more than 100 steps, a platform turned out in front of the four people, and the half-volley hung above the quiet and clear stream. The floor was mostly covered with turf moss, and a few unknown trees grew on the ground of a mixture of earthy yellow and dark green. Simple stone tables and chairs, equally simple stone water drawers, and six wooden pillars support a gazebo. Very cosy setting. Vending machines have been installed for the convenience of tourists.

It's a fitting resting place.

"Shall we rest here? Nice view, nice to sit down and catch your breath. Lloyd smiled and suggested as he looked at the hard work of his two colleagues.

For the sake of their face, Lloyd could use the whole concept of "we".

"Yes, yes......" Ellie also gave up the eldest lady's reserve, and quickly agreed to this suggestion. Her legs no longer allow her to be strong.

"Really...... Saved...... Tio no longer hides his fatigue.

"Alright, let's take a break." Randy said with a smile, but there seemed to be schadenfreude in his smile?!

The wind drifted over the stream, and it was very refreshing to be hydrated. The rest area is built on an elevated site with a panoramic view of the surrounding lush countryside. A few people took out the lemon juice in the bag, the sweet and sour taste can quickly invigorate, and the nutrition in it can also speed up physical recovery.

"It's so comfortable, it always feels alive......" Ellie took a sip of lemon juice, her quick breath now calming down.

"Agreed...... Kind of want to sleep. Theo's cold expression was much more soothing, and now he was more like a child.

"Hehe, it's really hard for you." Lloyd said with a smile. Both of them are civilian personnel, and it is understandable that they are not as physically fit as two big men.

"Haha, there's chilled lemon juice to drink, it's so comfortable that it's normal to feel like sleeping." Randy also joked with a smile.

"Speaking of which, You Jun is really amazing...... It took us almost two hours just to get here. Ellie sighed. Thinking that he was trying to compare himself with that kind of terrifying guy before, he not only shivered.

"It's much more scary than it sounds...... Tio's face also showed helplessness.

"But the way he moves is different." Lloyd said, popularizing the special way of movement of Yuki Tatsumi using chains. Several people looked at each other, speechless: this way of moving is too shocking.

"Hey, if there are still some tall hills on West Street, there are too few high places in the East District!" Randy recalls the scenery he saw along the way, and doesn't remember seeing any hills that can do vibrator motion.

"So...... Indeed......" Lloyd had to agree. By the way, although Lloyd and Yu Tatsumi collected the eggs of the monsters on East Street, it was a pity that because the monsters that needed to be defeated were inhabited not far from the door, so they did not use the chain to move this time.

"Could it be...... Running ......" Ellie's face darkened a little.

"What a guerrilla...... Randy said again, a line that was already familiar.

"Speaking of which, are all guerrillas like that......" Lloyd asked pointedly. To run for the sake of civilians, physical fitness is a must. But don't you feel that You Jun's physical fitness and speed, as a guerrilla, is it really a bit excessive? ”

"Listen to you......" Ellie also began to remember the guerrillas she had dealt with when she was studying abroad in various countries, and sure enough, she didn't remember any guerrillas who had this kind of physical ability - of course, it was possible that she hadn't met them.

"It's like you've been trained for speed and fitness." Randy also understood what he meant a little, the first half of the sentence was very serious, but the latter sentence suddenly revealed his true nature: "For example, ninjas and the like, thousands of enemies take people's heads and then run away and so on?" ”

"That's not a ninja...... is it," Tio grumbled weakly. No matter how you hear it, Randy confuses ninjas and fierce generals.

"Wait? Randy, you just said ...... Escape? Lloyd pondered, dragging his chin and pondering.

Indeed, if it is said that it is special training to escape, it is reasonable. Faster than anyone else, better than any human body, perform special tasks, and then get out with all your might. Is it an agent or a spy? However, these professions should be more about stealth and intelligence gathering than physical fitness...... Speaking of which, Yuu Tatsumi's concealment and intelligence gathering are also very powerful...... Damn, the more I think about it, the more uncertain I become.

Randy looked at Lloyd's thinking, and combined with what he had just said, he knew that he was guessing Yu's identity again. Smiling innocentily, Randy chose to remain silent.

Randy knows You's true identity, but he and You have agreed to protect each other's secrets. But it seems that his identity has been guessed by Lloyd.

However, if you think about it carefully, did Lloyd discover the details of Yuu Tatsumi, or did Yuki consciously expose his own things to Lloyd? This thought suddenly flashed through Randy's mind, but unfortunately Randy didn't like to think about these boring trivial things in the first place, and this idea only popped up slightly, and was forgotten by Randy.

Just as the four of them were thinking, suddenly there was the sound of the engine of the guide locomotive on the side of the road, and following the sound, they saw the yellow guide bus driving back from the village of Almolica at a steady speed.

Ellie watched the tempting bright yellow out of sight pitifully, and said regretfully, "It's the bus back to the city......

Tio also sighed and echoed: "For a moment, I want to reach out to stop the car......"

Lloyd snorted a little helplessly, and said: "Anyway, they've all come here, and if you go back now, you'll be in vain—everyone is holding on, and it shouldn't be far from the village." ”

"It's the captain." I don't know why, the three of them suddenly spoke together, very tacitly. This neat voice made Lloyd stunned.

Before he could react, the three of them also noticed this wonderful tacit understanding with each other, and couldn't help laughing. Lloyd laughed inexplicably.

Support Division, I really chose to stay.
