"Well, anyway, let's start with the name. My real name is Randolph Orlando. Randy is just a nickname. ”

Around the table, everyone in the support section sat in the chamber. The atmosphere is very harmonious:

"Put more meat. When you are recovering from a serious illness, you should eat more meat. ”

"But if you only have meat, you'll get fat, think about the lady, Tio, and throw me a handful of potatoes."

"Hmm."

"Hexu wants ice cream!"

"Veto!"

Well, the atmosphere was too congenial.

"I said you! Why don't you ask about Brother Randy's black history! It's rare that Randy's brother is ready to expose himself! ”

Messing up his dark red hair with his hands, Randy picked up his chopsticks to himself.

"So, why do you want to talk about my story while eating hot pot?"

"Because we're not ready to listen to it."

You comforted Randy insincerely, and slipped the freshly cooked meat from the hot pot onto Rui's plate.

"Don't be so merciful! I listened honestly when you told yourself! ”

"If you're willing to talk, we won't interrupt you."

Even Ellie picked up a potato slice and put it in her mouth - but because it was too short to cook, Ellie spit it out and stuck out her tongue.

"Okay...... I came from a hunting regiment called the Red Constellation. That is, I am the same kind of person as Arras, Garcia, Vincent, and Lanster. ”

The rather heavy story, combined with the relaxed atmosphere of the support department, seems to have become like a casual conversation after tea.

Perhaps, some people have a premonition that what Randy is going to say this time is too heavy, so they specially prepared such a joyful atmosphere.

"I'm worse than that guy from Yumi Tatsumi. After two missions, maybe the number of people I killed has surpassed that of the current game. ”

Randy gave a self-deprecating expression, and his expression darkened instantly.

But...... Subsequently..................

"Hey! Lloyd, you guy! That's the squid roll I just put in! Give it back! You're gone, give me attention! ”

"Randy, this kind of thing is always on a first-come, first-served basis. Hot pot is like a battlefield' This is the oriental etiquette that you taught me. ”

Lloyd is serious nonsense.

"How can there be such a custom! Definitely lying to you! ”

"Well, that's a lie to him."

"Ah, master, don't always give me meat......"

"Enough of you...... I gave up...... I won't say it...... Today...... I'm going to show you what it takes to be a man, and it all starts with eating meat! Oooo ”

Randy grabbed a handful of lamb and threw it into the copper pot, fiddling around in anger.

The crisp sound of chopsticks and copper pot colliding matches the warm aroma of hot pot. That's what the support section should be.

――――――――――――――

Night.

The entrance to Room 201 (Lloyd's room).

"Thank you."

Redhead man in slippers and slacks stands in the dark. Let the darkness cling to his body.

It was already early in the morning, and generally speaking, Lloyd was already asleep by this time.

He pressed his bare back against the wooden door, and the smooth, cold touch made him feel very comfortable. Although he hated this "comfort".

Same as rifles. It's smooth and cold. The skin fits for a long time, and the cold will turn into heat, and in this regard, the door is strikingly similar to the rifle, making him feel disgusting.

"I'm a cold-blooded guy. For the sake of the mission, he personally killed a hundred, or a thousand. I don't even know how many people I've killed. ”

There was no response from the door - and that was as it should be. After all, Lloyd should have fallen asleep by now.

"It's different from You, you can see it in your personality. Although he is a killer, he attaches great importance to 'credibility' and 'kindness'. It's not the same as me. I only value credibility. Today's friends may be tomorrow's enemies, and today's enemies may be tomorrow's comrades-in-arms. The hunter is one such creature. ”

"Actually, you talked to me once before this. That's what he said to me, 'It's okay to hide your identity, but don't hide your strength,' and I didn't understand what was going on at the time. Now that I think about it, that guy must have had a similar experience. It's like I hurt you today, he's also once hurt someone. According to his character of valuing kindness and righteousness, I'm afraid that he is still blaming himself now. ”

"Cut, it's obvious that I'm talking about myself, why did I get involved with him?"

"I'm a hunter. Randolph Orlando. But...... I've given up that identity now. Honestly, you have a special cohesion. Inexplicably, when I first met you, I had a premonition that one day, I would give my life to you and trust you 100%. Seriously, where are you sacred......"

"I understand, you don't want me to tell me who I am as if I was doing my duty. I will stay in the Support Division, and when our bond deepens, I will definitely tell you again, clearly, clearly, and completely. Until then, allow me to keep it a secret for a while. ”

"Finally, let me thank you again. Thank you, what a gentle brother. ”

"You're welcome."
