"The Special Mission Support Section, Bannings and five other members have come to report."

On the third floor of the police station, at the door of the deputy commissioner's office, Lloyd shouted loudly that he belonged.

Although no one wants to hear the scathing voice of Deputy Director Pierre anymore, the task is the mission. Moreover, Chief Sergei also said where someone was waiting for them, in other words, this time the deputy director of the support section did not come to mock them. So, a few people with a lot of grievances still came here.

"Come in!" The deputy director's voice could be heard clearly even through the door, and the kind of high-pitched voice that seemed to be a woman made Lloyd shiver. With a "faux pas," Lloyd took the lead and pushed the door open.

The inside of the room was still the same, with the smell of a police deputy chief - except for the person sitting in the seat.

Sure enough, as Chief Sergei said, there were two women waiting inside. They were all dressed in purple-black uniforms, and their ties and belts were burgundy, adding two bright colors to them. One had sea-blue shawl hair, wore glasses, looked to be in her thirties, and her eyebrows were full of the calmness of a superior - her position should not be low. The other person has brown and pink hair, wears a purple-black beret, and has just the right amount of hair, which not only retains the gentleness and beauty that a woman should have, but also does not affect his movement because it is too long.

This uniform is ...... Garrison? Lloyd immediately began to search for relevant knowledge, and the uniform was so famous that Lloyd recalled it very easily.

Because of his special political status, Crossbell was not allowed to build an army. However, the function of the armed forces must not be missing.

So, the garrison appeared. Functionally similar to the army, but the actual power is much smaller than the army, and the formation is limited, the entire Klos Bell garrison, the number is probably not comparable to a division in Erebonia, and the equipment cannot be compared with the elite army. Although it has many shortcomings, it is the guardian of Crossbell after all, and although it has not achieved much, it has a much better reputation than the police.

"Hey?!"

As if he had seen a ghost, Randy let out a surprised voice and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Oops? Is that a greeting, Randy Orlando? The blue-haired woman narrowed her eyes. 'Huh?! What does that mean? ”

Randy smiled awkwardly, "Ahaha, it should be said that it was unexpected, probably." ”

Hearing Randy say this, several people from the Support Section looked over. Lloyd asked with a little curiosity, "What?" Do you know each other? ”

"This kind of reaction as if something bad has been done...... Theo immediately thought of Randy's character, and said a sentence in a light tone that hit the nail on the head.

"Well, after all, he is the deputy commander of the garrison, and he should be Randy's former boss. It's nothing to know, right? ”

Seeing Deputy Director Pierre's face getting darker and darker - these newcomers not only brought the support section, but now they are still whispering on such a serious occasion! -- Yu Tatsumi snapped a stand and gave a military salute to the blue-haired woman.

Everyone else was stunned, and immediately reacted and gave a military salute like You.

Seeing a few people salute, Deputy Director Pierre's face looked a little better, he snorted and coughed, and said in a sharp voice: "This is the deputy commander of the garrison, Second Colonel Sonya." ”

The so-called second colonel is equivalent to a lieutenant colonel in the ordinary army, but because the garrison is not an army, the title has also been changed to a certain extent - although no matter how you look at it, it is just a matter of covering up. And Colonel Sonia II is the real second-in-command in the garrison, no, it doesn't matter if it's the number one. After all, the current commander of the garrison is a person who relies on the imperial faction to ascend to the throne and mingles with the extravagant banquets of high society every day, not to mention military strategy, I am afraid that he may not even know how many guards he has.

Second Colonel Sonia smiled lightly and returned the salute: "Please don't be formal." Especially you, Yuki Tatsumi. ”

Hearing her say this, Randy quietly leaned over to You, gently pushed his elbow against his body, and asked in a low voice, "You, how did you get on the line with her?" ”

"'She' or something, I'm going to say the deputy commander, Randy." It wasn't Yuu who answered Randy, but Sonia II, the glasses on the bridge of her nose reflecting a clear, cold light.

"Sorry, sorry! I'm very sorry! Randy quickly stepped back and straightened.

"Well, it's nothing, after joining the Support Division, I had a relationship when I traveled around Crossbell State." You said indifferently, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Wait, wait? Did you just mean that traveling around the autonomous region? Ellie heard exactly the point of the word "Crossbell State."

"yes. The guerrillas' experience, if you want to protect the place, you always have to walk around it yourself. It took 3 hours......" Lobbying sighed, although the Krosbel Autonomous Prefecture is not large, this concept is a conclusion compared to other countries, and for individuals, it is by no means a journey that can be completed in a day. "Then, when I arrived at Tanggula Gate, I stopped by to visit Sonia II."

Silent.

This time, not only Randy and Ellie, but also Lloyd, Theo, and Sonia II, the female team members around her, and even Deputy Director Pierre looked at him dumbfounded.

"Y-How long did it take?" The female members of the garrison, who had been standing quietly beside Sonia II, confirmed with surprise on their faces.

"Three hours, 197 minutes to be exact."

“………… You guy, stop blowing nonsense! Deputy Director Pierre slammed the table, and his voice was so sharp that even a person as steady as Sonia II couldn't help frowning. However, Deputy Director Pierre did not notice, and he continued, shouting: "Even if you take the guide bus for one stop, it can't be so fast!" Less kidding! ”

"Well, I'm much faster than that, after all, I don't need to take those detours." Lobbying, smiling proudly.

"I've wanted to say it for a long time, are all guerrillas such terrible guys?" Randy let out a long sigh.

"In such a short period of time, traveling around the autonomous prefecture requires a lot of physical fitness and speed...... "Lloyd said his judgment in passing.

"Well, although not all guerrillas are like this, it's just that I also call myself 'Liber's fastest', and I'm still very confident in terms of speed alone."

"Good, so powerful......" The girl of the garrison had a look of longing and respect on her face. I said to myself, "Noelle, you haven't trained enough."

After being surprised, Second Colonel Sonia coughed lightly, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"It's really amazing physical fitness, I really want to bring you to us with Sergei." Second Colonel Sonia praised Yu Tatsumi with a slight social meaning, and without waiting for him to respond, he continued, "But let's get down to business. ”

"Hmph, less smug little ghost! Can get Deputy Sonia ......" Deputy Director Pierre didn't finish speaking, but was said by Second Colonel Sonia, "Leave the matter to me." Forcefully interrupted. Several people in the support department breathed a sigh of relief, and even You, who met Deputy Director Pierre for the first time, was very keenly aware of how polluted his ears were once he started scolding.

Looking at the grateful look that the Support Section threw at her, Sonia cleared her throat: "Officially introduce myself, I am the deputy commander of the Crossbell Garrison. Sonia Beltz. I'm here today to leverage the strength of your Special Mission Support Section. ”

A case is being investigated by the Garrison.

In the past month, there have been incidents of wolf-shaped demonic beasts in the autonomous prefecture. It's just that if it's an ordinary case of Warcraft infringement, there are too many incomprehensible doubts. The garrison is currently at an impasse.

Sonia wants to ask a few people to do it, just hoping that the Special Missions Support Section can look at the problem from a different perspective and try to find out the security team's search blind spots.

Strictly speaking, Sonia needs the perspective of a "professional investigator". In this regard, it is perfectly possible to ask the investigators of the first section of the search department, but those investigators are very busy with their work, and they are disturbed because of these little things, and even Sonia herself feels that it is difficult to speak.

After listening to Sonya's explanation, Lloyd repeated lightly in his heart: Do you want to borrow the perspective of the investigator......

"I see. Since this is happening, we're happy to help. However, even though we are conducting an investigation, what exactly should we do? ”

"Well, Noelle, give him that."

Hearing Sonya's words, the garrison girl beside her gave a military salute and handed the document bag that had been clipped under her armpit to Lloyd.

Well? This person...... Something familiar...... Lloyd suddenly noticed the face of the girl named Noelle, and he couldn't help but look at her twice as he felt that he had seen it somewhere. Noelle notices his gaze and asks, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, nothing, sorry." I guess I made a mistake. Lloyd thought to himself. This kind of majestic girl, as long as you see it once, you should not forget it.

Yu Tatsumi, who was standing next to Lloyd, also saw Noelle's face clearly, and whispered, "What a majestic man." But because the voice was not loud, everyone's attention was not on him, and no one noticed.

The title of the file bag is clearly written "Report on the Invasion of Wolf-shaped Monsters", which seems to be the report summarized by the garrison during the search. Sonia II added: "The facts of the case that we have obtained have been recorded on it. I hope you'll start investigating it as soon as you read it - this is also to avoid adding preconceived ideas to you. ”

I see. Ellie remembered this in her heart. Although it may not come in handy, experience is such a thing that will always come in handy when you don't expect it, so it's better to accumulate more.

Lloyd opened the file bag, glanced at it briefly, and put it away.

"Understood, we'll investigate right away."

"Well, thanks. If there's anything unclear, don't mind, feel free to ask me. Colonel Sonia said this, and led Noelle to the door.

"And ...... Looks like you're a pretty good mix, Randy Orlando. Colonel Sonia turned suddenly, her intellectual eyes fixed on Randy's mature face. Randy was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Ah, it's a good place." It's easy to work with reliable teammates. ”

"That's good. Noelle, let's go. ”

"Yes, guys, it's rude."

Noelle, the girl of the garrison, saluted several people and quickly followed Sonia II.

"Whew...... I was really shocked. Randy looked at the cold door, his eyebrows raised. A look of nostalgia.

"What? Was it your commander in the garrison? Lloyd asked.

"Well, yes. But it's not a direct boss -- I've been guided a lot by her during military exercises or something. Randy gradually put away his nostalgic look, and gradually became serious: "Although she looks like a beauty, it is super terrifying if she starts a fire......"

"Randy's seniors will be scolded because of their life style." Theo glanced at him. This tall red-haired man can be said to have no ethics in his daily life.

"Indeed, this is Randy's first reaction." Ellie smiled and helped.

Randy smiled and didn't refute, this relaxed and harmonious atmosphere was what attracted him the most about the Support Section.

"So, Randy, do you have an impression of the female guards who followed her?" Yu Tatsumi asked suddenly.

"No, it's a face I've never seen before. Most of them are members of the Tanggulam Gate, who is in charge of assisting the deputy commander, right? Randy recalled.

By the way, the main garrisons were stationed in two areas, the Belgard Gate and the Tangulam Gate. Two passes on the eastern and western borders of the Autonomous Region of Crossbell lead to the Erebonian Empire and the Republic of Calvard, respectively. Randy was previously a member of the Belgard Gate's security team.

Randy, who suddenly reacted, looked at Yu Tatsumi curiously: "You ask that, you seem to care about her?" It seems that you have been looking at people just now? Nana, did you fall in love with someone at first sight? ”

"yes. Don't you think that the majestic officer lady is very moving? I was conquered at once. You smiled slightly and decisively admitted. And, don't underestimate her, when it comes to going it alone, Randy, you may not be able to beat her. ”

The topic shifted subtly. The detective's alertness made Lloyd immediately aware of this fact. Ellie and Theo's eyes changed from "condemnation of Yu-Tatsumi's affection" to "curiosity about Noelle's strength". It's really worthy of being a former guerrilla, is this also calculated?

"Oh-oh? Are you sure? Brother, I'm very strong! Randy said as he raised his right arm and puffed out his biceps muscles to make a strong look like I was strong. Ellie chuckled.

"Well, for sure. Randy you can only use axe guns, and her words, **, axe guns, shotguns, military daggers, and even bazookas have some experience with them. ”

As soon as You finished speaking, Ellie immediately asked, her emerald green eyes full of curiosity: "Why is it so clear?" It's the first time we've met, isn't it? ”

"Of course, you can see it from the degree of muscle exercise. There is also the way you move your gaze and the small habits of your standing posture......"

"How long do you want to talk about those boring things!"

Just as You was about to continue explaining, Deputy Director Pierre's voice suddenly came out.

Yes, the five did not leave, but started chatting in the deputy director's room......

How can this make Deputy Director Pierre's face hang? How long the hell are these guys trying to ignore me?! Wait a minute? They're just police, aren't they......

"Could it be that you were instructed by Sergei to tease me!"

Deputy Director Pierre's voice became very sharp with anger, and Theo quickly blocked his ears, and Yuu Tatsumi, who heard this voice for the first time, was frightened.

It's not to blame him, no matter who it is, he will be startled when someone behind him suddenly makes such a strange noise.

"I'm sorry, but we're leaving." Ellie hurriedly stepped forward and said apologetically.

"Hmph, let's go then!" Deputy Director Pierre waved his hand and pointed to the door. It's not like the attitude of a boss at all. Then, he continued, "Really, you have ignored my advice...... Not only that, but there seems to be one more, and you know what it means for you to do this! ”

All five members of the Support Division had displeased looks on their faces at the same time. Deputy Chief Pierre also felt that he had gone too far, although he was the idiot Sergei's men, but they were still newcomers to the police department, and they were innocent. Yes, it's all Sergei's fault. Hmph, you guys just get up early in the morning and look for monsters in the barren mountains! Hmph, it's all Sergei's fault!

Deputy Director Pierre, who didn't know that his mood was on his face, sarcastically said: "Well, how about all the staff transferred to the garrison?" Better bring that damn Sergei with you! ”

"............" The five people stared at him with cold eyes, and Ellie said goodbye in a cold voice, and opened the door and went out first.

At the door, as Pierre's face disappeared behind the door, several people suddenly felt that the air had become lighter.

"Really, it's still that annoying......" Randy scratched his hair vigorously.

"I wish I had earbuds." Theo glared at the door that blocked the sight of several people, as if her eyes were piercing through Pierre in the chest like a sword.

"Haha, it looks like we've really met a very good boss." You was smiling, but no matter how you look at it, you can't think it's a happy smile.

"Forget it, we had something wrong just now, but his words and deeds are still too rough."

"Anyway, let's go back and study the investigation report first."

Lloyd's words decided the itinerary of the five people.
