Chapter 11: Revisiting the Guerrilla Association
Michelle, the receptionist of the Guerrilla Association, greeted several people in his characteristic voice: "Oh, what a rarity. β
As soon as he opened the door of the guerrilla association, he heard the sound of a deep male voice deliberately pinching his head. You Tatsumi couldn't help but shudder, and the three people who followed him also trembled.
Estelle Bright, Joshua Bright, Hoeth Heather, and Yuki Tatsumi make up the "Special Mission Support Section 2" - although there are two characters in it that are not support sections or police officers at all.
By the way, just as the three of them were about to go out, He Xu also chased them out, saying that they were idle and bored before the luggage and parts were delivered, so they just happened to come out for a stroll - in fact, they just hated being a stay, and Rui's extremely introverted women were in the same way as not.
But this is definitely not going to be said.
A few people have a man's sturdy appearance, a man's deep voice, and a woman's delicate heart in front of them, or a living being, which can always leave an extremely deep first impression on people. Thanks to him, Hexu, who usually doesn't have much interaction with guerrillas, looks at him like this, and his hatred for guerrillas rises rapidly.
Estelle and Joshua could only smile. They knew that the receptionists of the guerrilla associations had their own characteristics, and they had seen many guerrilla receptionists, but Rao was still frightened by Michelle's amazing appearance.
"Hmm, the two in the back are Estelle-kun and Joshua-kun who are going to make an appointment to come over today, right?"
Michelle winked as she spoke, causing Estelle to chill and sneak behind Joshua and Yuu Tatsumi.
"Speaking of which, it's really late for the two of you." Michelle said as she pulled out a delicate pocket watch from the pocket of her pink jacket and looked at it.
"Well, I'm sorry, I'm holding you back." Yu Tatsumi deliberately teased Michelle in a tone that looked like a criminal, as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Estil poked him secretly, trying her best to suppress her anger: "Don't irritate him, Brother You!" β
However, Joshua immediately regained his composure, he stepped forward, and bowed modestly: "Liberal's B-class guerrillas, Joshua Bright, Estelle Bright, officially report to the Crossbell branch of the Guerrilla Guild - sorry for the delay. β
Even Michelle, seeing Joshua's serious expression, became serious, and no longer teased the two, he coughed and cleared his throat, and resumed his male voice: "At 10:35 this morning, Estelle Bright was officially confirmed, and Joshua Bright was transferred to the Crossbell branch. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately pinched his voice again and continued: "With you joining, the Crossbell branch is completely high. β
"Well, with the 'Wind Sword Saint', you are still so greedy, but you will be punished!" Yu Tatsumi teased.
"But because some departments are very ineffective, they have been in a dilemma of insufficient manpower! Oh? What department is it from? Michelle pretended to think. His thick index finger propped up his chin, and the girlish movement was extremely lethal to be performed by a big man of hisβand a man of five big and three thick.
Although it was not explicitly stated, several people present understood that this "certain department" was the "Crossbell Police Station".
"Uncle, you're so disgusting!" He Xu scolded dissatisfiedly.
But she is not to blame for this, no matter who sees this kind of strong man making such an action, it is this reaction, but He Xu did not hide his bad feelings.
"I'm sorry~~Little girl~ Speaking of which, are you also a guerrilla who has come to apply for transfer?" Michelle smiled and didn't look to himself, he leaned out of the counter and tried to get as close to Lotus as possible. As a result, she was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Yuu Tatsumi.
Yu Tatsumi sighed and said, "By the way, most people will think that this child is a client...... What a shortage of manpower there is......"
Michelle thought for a moment and said, "Maybe seven or eight more people are needed, right?" Speaking of which, would you like to join the tactician? Now, I can give you special treatment~~"
"Well, please allow me to refuse cautiously. You don't think, 'Don't move, I'm a policeman!' Isn't that handsome? You casually prevaricated for a reasonβin fact, he simply didn't want to work with Michelle.
I don't know what scene my brain has made up, Michelle also laughed and echoed: "Haha, what an interesting scene." β
With a helpless expression on her face, Estelle quietly leaned close to Joshua's ear: "I always feel that these two people are unexpectedly compatible." β
Joshua scoffed, nodding in agreement.
"Oh, that's a pity. So, what's going on here today? If it's a commission, they will give you a discount! Twelve-fold or something," Michelle asked with interest.
"Well, isn't that more than usual?" Yu Tatsumi quipped along with his words, paused for a moment, and then continued: "It's okay today, it's just to bring reliable juniors to report." By the way, let's see if you can admire the heroic appearance of the legendary Wind Sword Saint. β
Joshua was stunned for a moment, and there were doubts in his heart: I originally thought that Brother You had come to the association to exchange information with the association, but as a result, did you guess wrong? Brother You has other intelligence networks...... Or is it ...... He's got the intel he wants?
Looking at Joshua's thoughtful look, Estelle tilted her head in confusion, not thinking much about it at all, while Yuu Tatsumi shrugged her shoulders and made a very innocent expression to Joshua.
"Arios? If you want to see him, go next door! Now, I think I'll be able to catch up with the good stuff. Michelle said mysteriously, arousing the curiosity of several people at once.
Sword of the Wind Saint Arios, now next door?
βββββββ meanwhileβββββββ
At the east exit of Crossbell City, the four members of the Support Section: Lloyd, Ellie, Theo, and Randy, happened to stagger the guide bus...... The next train seems to be coming in two hours.
"There are too few shifts, right...... I really want to send a letter of advice to the city government and ask them to work more shifts......" Randy was carrying an axe and gun, wearing the orange coat he was used to, and his face was full of helplessness.
"Ahaha...... They must have their own problems. Ellie smiled a little awkwardly and excused the city government. Ellie has made politics her target, and she still wants her companions to complain less about politics.
"yes, that's to blame for not keeping track of the timetable." Lloyd was pertinent in his self-criticism. As he said, the buses happened to be staggered, and they could only be blamed for not keeping track of the timetable. The young man with broken brown hair grabbed his hair in embarrassment and said to himself, "Trouble...... I thought that I would have to go to the hospital at least once today, but I'm afraid it's too late. β
"In that case, why don't you just walk over there?" Theo said calmly.
"Huh?" All three had shocked expressions.
However, the content of the shock is different...... Ellie was shocked that Theo, the thinnest-looking girl, would offer to hike, and Lloyd and Randy were shocked that the girl's idea was too idealistic.
"From the map, it's about two hours to walk to the village of Almolica, which is the same amount of time, so it's more efficient to walk there than to wait for a bus." Theo said a question, but his tone was full of affirmation. As a researcher at the Epstein Foundation, you can't be mistaken.
"I see, it does the math." Ellie nodded in agreement. "Moreover, I have heard that there is a stone road full of idyllic scenery in front of the village of Almolica. It's a good hike! β
By the time she got to the back, Ellie's voice had gradually taken on a wistful tone.
"Since Brother You can travel around the autonomous prefecture in three hours, it should be no problem for us to reach Almolica Village in two hours." Theo said solemnly, full of comparison.
Randy and Lloyd were both in a cold sweat, and the two secretly took a step back to distance themselves. Randy sighed quietly, "Ladies dare to say that......"
"Anyway, I obviously haven't traveled long distances in the countryside...... "Lloyd agrees.
"Moreover, you actually compare that guy to You......" Thinking of the speed of the black-haired colleague, Randy couldn't help but sigh again. It can only be said that people can't compare with each other.
Thinking of the exaggerated way of moving before, Lloyd also nodded apprehensively in agreement with Randy.
In that way, although the speed did not increase much, it ignored the harsh terrain: when he encountered a towering mound, he ran along the rocks, and when he encountered a deep lake and river, he could move along the shortest route, and it was no wonder that he was able to travel around the autonomous region in three hours.
Noticing that something was wrong with the two male companions, Ellie turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"No, it's nothing - there are still monsters wandering in the wild, are you two okay?" Lloyd tried to dispel them.
"Hmm...... In this case, Warcraft is also a problem, but haven't we encountered a lot of it before, so it should be okay. Ellie said optimistically, and Theo nodded in agreement, "And I need to test the Guiding Staff, too." Proper actual combat, you can't ask for it. β
"Moreover, didn't you say before that you don't rely on Youjun, you can't even do it to this extent, but you can't do it." Ellie's fighting spirit motivates her companions, and she probably thinks that Lloyd and Randy are afraid of trouble.
Lloyd and Randy looked at each other and smiled wryly. Seeing that he couldn't screw them, Lloyd could only shrug his shoulders and compromise: "Okay, since you say so, then go over." β
"Well, let's goβI'm really looking forward to it, so I'll have made a bento beforehand." Ellie said and looked at Theo, a relaxed smile on her face. It seems that the reason why she chose to walk was more "to experience the joy of hiking and walking" than "to handle tasks more efficiently".
"Indeed." Theo also used a rare tone of expectation. "Arrive, though, before noon, and have lunch over there."
Looking at the soaring interest of the two, Lloyd only felt bitter and warm. He turned to the side and whispered to Randy, "If the two of them come, let's 'support' them." β
"yes, I see."
