Silent.

As Lloyd uttered, "I'll leave it to you here, no problem," the leaders of the two sides of the fight—Varudo and Vaji—fell silent at the same time.

"Uh-huh......" Valudo's head lowered slightly.

"Hehe......" Waji smiled even more happily. If his smile was the smile of an ordinary salesperson before, now it is the smile of a salesperson who has made a big business.

"Hahaha......" The two laughed out loud in unison, smiling from the bottom of their hearts.

Lloyd asked displeasedly, "What's so funny?" ”

"No, no, I just think you're naïve and ridiculous." Waji said with a smile. Valudo also showed a mocking smile: "You say, 'Not ready to expand the situation'? Hmph, what kind of dream talk are you talking about? ”

What the...... Lloyd was taken aback. Obviously, the two of them looked at each other with a sympathetic look, and he thought that the two of them would be able to end peacefully if they talked a few more words. Waji shrugged his shoulders and pretended to have a helpless expression: "I stopped today just because I was not fully prepared." Once you're ready......" Waji smiled playfully, his bright yellow eyes drifting toward Lloyd. "Then, there will be an all-out war."

Varudo snorted coldly and added, "Undying, all-out war." Only one party will survive. ”

"What!" Lloyd exclaimed, what all-out war meant...... The entire Old Town will be swept up, and the destruction of public property will never be as much as it is now, and most importantly......

If they are really allowed to go to war in an all-out way, I am afraid that the already humble image of the police will no longer be able to recover.

Ellie, they obviously thought of this layer as well, and their faces gradually became anxious and heavy. Randy's face turned cold, and he asked half-seriously, "You guys...... Are you really ready to fight here? ”

Valudo smiled cruelly and said, "Hmph, there's nothing strange about it—besides, it's obvious which side will be wiped out, right?" ”

Waji smiled good-naturedly and responded, "Just let you be quick to talk for a while." Moreover, no matter who wins or loses, you don't need to make peace. The affairs of the Old Town are taken care of by the people of the Old Town, and the cowardly and incompetent cops don't want to meddle - let alone small characters like you. ”

"Oh, it looks like we've been completely underestimated, Lloyd." Yuki Tatsumi, who had been silent since the beginning, said this and walked in front of Lloyd.

"By the way, Captain, our mission today is to stop the brawl, right?"

You said knowingly, and Lloyd nodded affirmatively.

Literally, it's just an ordinary confirmation task, but there is a faint sense of "then it's okay if I knock both sides down, right?" "Feelings.

"Oh? Black hair, you ............" Valudo's aggressive eyes swept up and down You's body. Although his physique looks much thinner than Randy, and even thinner than Lloyd, his body is much stronger than Randy's. "You seem to be quite kind, so you are especially allowed to meddle! I'm going to smash you and Waji to pieces. ”

Waji looked at him with amusement, and quipped, "I don't think you should meddle in the affairs of the Old Town—how about that?" When you join the Sacred Book Society, neither I nor Varoudo will have anything to say! ”

"Allow us to refuse." Lloyd's expression sank a little more, and the other side was obviously joking about his group, if he really joined a bad gang, then what would he do with the task of the police.

"Really? I think it's a good idea. Vaji feigned distress, but a pleasant smile hung over his lips.

"So, can you ask the two of you to take someone back first-you also said that you are not yet well prepared, right?" Yuki Tatsumi brought the topic back.

"Cut, you thought you were going to say something...... It's boring. Varudo glanced at You and said to the members of the Sword and Serpent Gang, "Little ones, that's all for today, go back." ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Hehe, let's go back too." Waji said the same to the members of the Holy Book Society.

The two sides retreated in both directions in a disciplined manner, and the old town square, which had been somewhat crowded, suddenly became deserted. The broken glass reminds several people of the reality of it all.

"......" Lloyd looked a little distracted at where Valudo and Vaji had just stood.

Ellie sighed, "This is a group of people who are a headache...... And they seem to be serious. Randy agreed, "According to this situation, I'm afraid there will be a war today, right?" When the time comes, I'm sure I'll see blood......"

"But the task of the section chief is accomplished—the rest of the matter is not our job, right?" Theo's face was also full of helplessness, but more pale, maybe because of the tension?

"Well, if it's a guerrilla, I'm afraid I'll track it down." You said this, looking at Lloyd. "It's up to you, Captain, though."

"Hmm......" Lloyd took a breath, turned around, and said firmly to the four, "Let's continue to intervene." If we stop there, we are afraid that the public's trust in the police will never be restored. ”

"That's just as well." Despite the trouble, Theo quickly accepted his new assignment.

"That's right......" Ellie agrees with Lloyd. Although she was still a little worried, her face had regained a determined expression. "Now that we're all aware, we should find a way to stop it anyway, right?"

"Hah...... That being said, it's a hassle to organize, right? They're not the type to get along with each other. Randy sighed. The worst-case scenario is to bring both sides down. According to conservative estimates, the two gangs should have about a hundred people combined, or even more, and if you face a hundred people at the same time, it is really a bit troublesome, and it can't really hurt them......

"yes...... Also, I am afraid that I will not get much assistance by reporting to headquarters......" Lloyd said with a grim face. "At this time, we can only rely on ourselves."

Ellie asked curiously, "Huh?" At the very least, should it be reported? Maybe there will be more patrols from above? ”

"No...... It should be hard. Lloyd had already roughly guessed the ins and outs, and seeing that Ellie and Randy still didn't understand, he continued to explain: "It was obvious that they caused that kind of commotion just now, but they didn't care about being found out at all, I'm afraid, this old town has been deliberately abandoned. ”

"Ah......" Hearing him say this, Ellie also realized that something was wrong.

"Indeed, judging by the database, the patrol personnel in the old town have been drastically reduced during this time. It seems to be in the name of budget reduction. Theo said lightly.

"Hmph...... Looks like I guessed it right. Randy snorted, feeling a little uncomfortable with the police department's approach. Well, isn't there anything we can do about it now - why don't we go to the two organizations and fight each other? The front was still depressed, and the tone of the last half of the sentence suddenly rose.

"Well, isn't there something that hasn't been figured out now, how can you say that there is nothing you can do?" As he spoke, he patted Lloyd on the shoulder and continued, "That's right, Royd-kun. You know, what am I talking about? ”

Lloyd was stunned for a moment, and immediately drove his brain with all his might. Since experienced people have said so, there must be some entry point that has been overlooked.

The Sword Serpent Gang, the Holy Book Society, the fights, the laissez-faire of the police station, the so-called Old Town rules, the non-stop, all-out war...... Keywords flashed through his mind. Wait a minute? Comprehensive...... War? Never die?

"Yes, I thought of it." Lloyd said as if he had come to an understanding. "Why do these two organizations want to completely defeat each other? If it's a competition for territory or something that is willful, it generally won't 'completely eliminate' the other party, right? ”

“bingo！ Here it is. Yuki Tatsumi said this, giving Lloyd a thumbs up.

Lloyd nodded in gratitude and continued to analyze: "It would be understandable if there was any particular conflict of interest, but it was just a brawl between delinquent teenagers in the Old Town...... Is it really necessary to be fully prepared to annihilate them completely? ”

"Awesome......" Theo was a little surprised, and simply praised Lloyd.

"That's a good entry point. He really deserves to be a person with the qualifications of a search officer. Ellie agreed. In my heart, I have a higher evaluation of this colleague.

Randy also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see."

"No, no, besides, you've already thought of it, right?" Lloyd scratched his head in embarrassment.

Hearing him say this, You shrugged his shoulders: "After all, I have a few more years of work experience than you." ”

"Don't be so modest." Randy laughed and hooked his neck. "I'll just say, those two leaders don't seem to have a stiff relationship."

"There should be a reason, a reason that only the parties know, that make them fight each other." Theo said lightly.

"That's right, then, there's only one thing we should do, right?"
