Chapter 27: Confession Under the Heavens

"Uh......h You have to hurry......"

In the Tower of Vision, Lloyd swung his whirlstick and knocked down the huge mecha monster in front of him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As Yuki had predicted, Lloyd immediately went to seek the help of Dudley Investigator after Yuki refused to help. After all, this person's wisdom, foresight, and intelligence are superior to his own. Lloyd had intended to blur Lixia's information and ask him directly for his opinion.

Unexpectedly, Dudley immediately guessed Lloyd's intentions and gave him fairly accurate information.

The Wehrmacht now sent a detachment to hunt down Arras, and Randy accepted Mireyu's invitation to join him temporarily. Although the Wehrmacht has been equipped with high-powered firearms, they are definitely not as skilled as skilled hunters like Randy in their use.

Arras is a ghost god who gallops across the battlefield, this is a master-level hunter who can faintly suppress the red war ghost, and ordinary soldiers are only afraid that they will be slaughtered by him. It's really uneasy not to have a skilled person like Randy.

Noelle and Vincent followed Lloyd. Noelle was angry with You Tatsumi's attitude, so he had to help Lloyd get back Lixia and give You a good look. Vincent, on the other hand, weighed both sides and felt that following Lloyd would have fewer things to do and less trouble.

Through Dudley's information, Lloyd quickly zeroed on the Tower of Insight as his preferred target.

Later, he found a lot of rags hanging from tree branches in the forest, which made him even more convinced of his judgment.

However, at this time, most of the demonic beasts in the Tower of Hoshimi were reborn. Lloyd and the others did not carefully clean up the demonic beasts, and rushed all the way up, and when they reached the top of the tower, they were finally surrounded by demonic beasts.

"Lloyd, it's up to us here, you hurry up to the top of the tower, if Miss Lixia isn't there, we'll have to hurry!"

Noelle shouted, swinging the machete on the heavy machine gun, cutting down a steel mech-like monster, and at the same time flew up and kicked it in the chest, and the bursting boots on the feet were forced, and the hurricane that burst into the air pushed it away.

Vincent was lazy, wielding his heavy machine gun with a dull face, pulling the trigger, and firing deadly bullets, destroying a large number of demonic beasts in an instant.

Behind the two of them, Ilya looked at Lloyd nervously, even she knew that she couldn't joke at this time.

In order to convince Lixia, I'm afraid Lloyd alone is not enough. Ilya judged.

As soon as Lloyd wanted to say something, he immediately understood what he should do. Moreover, he didn't believe that his two partners would lose to these monsters so casually.

"Quick, Miss Elijah!"

He took Elijah's hand, took the whirling stick in one hand, turned on the Patronus mode, and ran all the way to the top of the tower.

"Miss Lixia!"

Rushing all the way to the top of the tower, Lloyd didn't bother admiring the pleasant blue sky, and immediately shouted the name of his target.

“……”

The woman whose name was called did not look back, she leaned on the railing and looked out at the clean sky. However, a slight shake in her shoulders could be noticed.

The breezy lilac hair, Lloyd wouldn't be mistaken.

But......

Lloyd's eyes immediately focused on the man beside her.

A dark blue suit that combines oriental style, a neat mid-style fuchsia style, and a pair of glasses.

Li Cao.

At this time, he was smiling like a fox and looking at Lloyd playfully, as if to say, "You're late."

Lloyd glared at him in return.

Although this man has not had any direct confrontation with the Support Section, he is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. This man's strategy is terrifying, he is good at judging the situation, and he is a terrifying strategist.

"Officer Lloyd...... Please, please leave me alone. ”

When Lloyd and Li Cao were at a stalemate, Lixia's voice came. She didn't look back, didn't she want to see Lloyd? Or are you worried that your resolve will suffer?

"I want to go back to Calvard. I can promise that I won't cause you any trouble, and although I have committed many crimes, can you spare me, even if it is my willfulness? ”

"Yes, Royd-kun, just let Lixia go."

Li Cao also followed to help.

Li Cao...... Did you already know? Is Lixia a silver thing? ”

"No, I just found out today."

Li Cao said, his eyes narrowed, revealing a cunning taste.

Deceitful!

Lloyd glared at him fiercely.

This person could never have just known. Otherwise, he would have acted too fast.

He would deny it, Lixia should have hidden Silver's identity on weekdays, after all, Silver is a masked killer. Moreover, it is a "legendary assassin", and if a legend is revealed, there will be no mystery, and the sense of horror will be greatly reduced.

I'm afraid that Li Cao has long suspected Lixia, but he hasn't said it, waiting for this opportunity......

But what is the purpose?

Lloyd was unexpected. So he decisively gave up thinking.

The primary target now is not Li Cao, but Lixia. You'll have to convince Lixia to turn back.

In fact, letting Lixia return to China was the best choice for Lloyd.

However, Lloyd could not let go of that tearful face no matter what.

Even if she insisted on going back, it would be "Lixia decided to go back", not "Lixia went back because she couldn't survive in Crossbell".

"Now, Lixia...... Here, the scenery is very good. ”

Lloyd muttered to himself, sighing as he walked over to her.

Lixia's shoulders could be seen shaking in horror, but she didn't mean to refuse him.

"From here, you can see the whole city of Crossbell. It's beautiful. ”

“……”

"I love it here."

Lloyd said, turning around and leaning his back against the railing. This is to not put pressure on Lixia. He knew that Lixia didn't want to see her face. So, Lixia was lying on the railing, and Lloyd was leaning back to the railing, and neither of them could see each other's faces.

Li Cao shrugged, took two steps to the side in a witty manner, and watched the changes.

Ilya originally wanted to convince Lixia herself, but seeing this, she swallowed everything she had to say, clasped her hands to her chest, and smiled at how Lloyd persuaded Lixia.

"I love this Cross Bell. In the beginning, I just had a good impression of it because it was the city I lived in and the city that my big brother guarded. But now, I really like it. Do you like it here? ”

“……”

Lixia didn't speak.

Lloyd didn't continue, the two were silent, only the breeze shuttled around them.

"No...... Dislike. ”

Maybe she couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, Lixia glanced down and denied her true intentions in a low voice.

"yes, you don't like it here. But—"

Lloyd didn't have the effect, but instead showed a cheerful smile.

"But I like you."

“………… Ay?! ”

Even Lixia, even if Lixia wanted to ignore Lloyd, she was shocked and helpless, and almost fell off the railing directly.

Looking next to him, Ilya's face was almost full of "Super fun!" You continue! Li Cao next to him had a more exciting face, showing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his eyes were interesting, but the corners of his mouth were full of cold chills, and he didn't know what mood he wanted to express.

"You...... What are you talking about......"

"I like you."

Hearing Lixia's panicked inquiry, Lloyd said again frankly, and this time Lixia only felt that her face was scorched by the flames, and she was so frightened that she quickly covered her face with her hands.

Touching her conscience, Lixia still has a good impression of Lloyd.

Although at first, he was just used as a tool to wash away the stigma, but later, because of Yutatsumi's relationship, Lixia became more and more accustomed to focusing on the support department. Under Yutatsumi's "inconspicuous" policy, Lixia always inadvertently saw Lloyd's efforts.

This person's efforts made Lixia very insightful, and sometimes she wondered if she was like him and worked hard to inherit the silver, would it make her father happy? Or, if you work hard to ask Silver, will you become a complete dancing girl by now?

[Probably] is the most beautiful, and under this beautification, Lixia's affection for Lloyd has accumulated more and more.

And...... I don't know why, Lixia always had the feeling that she had been with Lloyd for a long time.

This feeling is similar to the sudden affection between Lloyd and Randy when they meet.

It seems that everyone has lived together for a long time and worked hard for a long time, but now everyone has forgotten this history and are strangers to each other, and Lixia has such a feeling.

was just troubled by Lloyd's sudden confession, and now this feeling is surging like a river and a sea, making her heart bump into a deer.

"I ...... I replied......"

"I like you, I like the Rainbow Theatre, I like the Support Section, and I love everything here."

Lloyd turned his back to Lixia, not noticing her face, nor hearing her muttered reply.

"I like the life of being overwhelmed by work every day, I like the life of patrolling around the city of Crossbell every day, and I am even more happy to be able to see such a popular rainbow troupe that Lixia is in."

Lloyd said, closing his eyes, reveling in his own imagination, the corners of his mouth beaming with happiness.

He really loved it all.

"Lixia, do you really not like all this?"

“……”

Lixia was silent.

This time, though, the reason for the silence was completely different.

The red-faced girl was completely filled with shame.

"If you don't like it here, Lixia, I'm sad to be a Crossbell. So, could I ask you to stay longer? I'll take you to see all kinds of Crossbell landscapes. I'm going to make you love the city. This is a hometown that I am proud of, and even Yutatsumi praises it. If Lixia decides not to come back, can you at least have some good memories? ”

No, no.

Lixia wanted to shout it.

If I stay, really...... If you are completely impressed, you will never be an assassin again......

Determination will be shaken.

However, his throat was choked, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Lixia, don't worry. Crossbell, anyone's acceptance. Whether it's a ghost who runs away because of the death of a loved one, a hunter who once dominated the battlefield, a killer with blood on his hands, a mafia who has committed a big crime, or even a visitor who has no memory, anyone can accept it. Here, you will not be actively excluded. ”

After Lloyd finished speaking, Ilya smiled, and the heart said that Royd was like this. In the end, it was you who made the decision.

"Lixia."

She called her name.

“!!”

Lixia looked back in shock, only to see Ilya's upright face a few paces away.

Lloyd would come looking for him, as Lisa had foreseen. After all, they often deal with such underworld forces. Moreover, Yu's identity also diluted the assassin's vicious feelings in their hearts.

However, Ilya is just an ordinary person, and she actually ...... Will come too......

"Miss Elija......"

"Now, Lixia, answer me a question."

Ilya smiled lightly and lifted her lips.

"What's most important to you?"

“……”

Lixia was silent again, and for a long time, her face showed the expression that Yutatsumi used to show. The kind of expression that protects others by hurting oneself.,Incomparably gentle and incomparably lonely.。

"I don't deserve to answer that...... My hands are covered in blood...... ...... been in the dark."

"That's not right."

Lloyd interrupted her.

He didn't want to see anyone show this expression anymore.

Such a cruel expression.

He was glad that he had made the right decision, and sure enough, Lixia's mood was the same as he imagined.

"Miss Lixia, what is the most important thing to you to answer Miss Elijah's question head-on?"

Lixia looked at Elijah, her sea-blue eyes as if they had the magic to suck people in.

She looked at Lloyd again, and that gentle smile seemed to contain everything about herself.

Her mood could no longer remain cold. The surging feelings in his chest gushed out uncontrollably.

"I ...... I want to dance! I want to be in the Rainbow Theatre and continue dancing on that stage! Ilya, and Shuri, and everyone! That's all I want! ”

As if trying to convince herself, Lixia almost shouted and finished the whole sentence. The more I talked, the more I couldn't stop the tears.

"But...... But...... Someone like me...... Can you really continue to stand here? ”

Ilya smiled and opened her arms, a simple response that made Lixia unable to hold back any longer, and threw herself into her arms, hugging the savior who had pulled her out of the darkness with all her might.

"With the precedent of You Tatsumi, to be honest, the mysterious assassin in the East or something, it's not so unacceptable, right?"

Lloyd laughed, joking with her a little teasingly.

Ilya also patted her cute spoiled sister like she caressed her lovely sister, gently patting her back and whispering in her ear.

"The most important thing for me is the harmony of your breasts, Lixia! I'm rubbing! ”

The right hand went around Lixia's back, and Ilya reached for Lixia's chest with her free left hand!

This sudden unfolding stunned the two men next to them! Li Cao opened quite gentlemanly, and Lloyd quickly closed his eyes and looked at it indecently.

It's a good ending, though.

Lloyd thought.

"Yo, Officer Lloyd."

Li Cao suddenly came over to talk.

"Though you are all rejoicing, ...... What do you want to do? What about our Black Moon, the contract with the silver? ”

Li Cao squinted his eyes and smiled, but in his smile, there was no smile, the cold killing intent was revealed, and the sunlight shone coldly on his glasses, which was particularly permeable. (To be continued.) )
