Chapter 14: You and Rui's Private Time

Leaving the Heartless Flow Dojo, Yu Tatsumi felt empty for no reason, and felt a little at a loss.

After looking around, Yu shrugged his shoulders and began to walk towards the Support Section.

As he said before, he didn't think about investigating the case.

Like Lloyd, he looked at the case from his own perspective.

The members of the garrison naturally investigated the case in the same way as the army: they mainly searched on a large scale and carried out huge operations, but they were prone to miss the details.

Lloyd is from the perspective of the police and the investigator: breaking down the incident into the murderer, causes, effects, purposes, etc., the advantage is that the details will not be missed, and it is easy to find the truth, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to fall into a deadlock in thinking, and it also takes more time.

And Yuki Tatsumi is also ready to think from the perspective of a criminal: to reason based on all the information he has at hand, and to imagine that he is a criminal, why do he do it.

Judging from the information at hand, this Warcraft infringement case probably has the following points: 1. The prisoner has a lot of backstage and can manipulate [Harmony] intelligence to a certain extent. 2. The offender can communicate with Warcraft to a certain extent - according to 1, it is definitely not Warcraft who committed the crime himself. 3. This time, the prisoners have a way to hide these monsters, whether it is a car or a secret base.

That alone is not enough. But if you think about it again, who needs to do that? The first to be suspected is the Karuman consortium. Unleashing a monster and then defeating it can effectively promote the quality of your weapons, which is one of the common methods of the Karumon consortium.

So, the Karuman consortium was also the first to be ruled out. If the operational information is not known to the public, it will not be effective at all.

Then, it is necessary to deal with Warcraft, and the second reaction is Rubacher and Black Moon. If you think about it carefully, in the last incident, Rubacher also did it for the purpose of increasing troops. So, what will Black Moon do because of Lubacher's increase in troops? Or is this also part of Rubach's increase in strength?

There used to be a department called the "Intelligence Department" in the Kingdom of Libel, and in order to increase their combat effectiveness, they adopted the method of training military dogs. Military dogs are inherently stronger and more agile than humans, and they are easier to train than humans.

If you regard the invasion of Warcraft as part of the training of military dogs, then this incident can be explained.

Commanding military dogs to attack people and places is an effective way to test the dogs' performance and understanding of orders.

Of course, it is also possible for other people, such as Empire or Republican, to attack these places and then lure them to the surface.

However, You doesn't know much about politics, and the attack between political parties is really his weak point. However, it is almost certain that it is training military dogs - after all, military dogs and wolves still have a certain similarity.

However, he still lacks the most important evidence to indicate whether the murderer is Rubacher, Black Moon or someone else.

"Well, that's a headache for Lloyd." Lobbying for a very bad word, he crossed East Street and entered Central Street. Suddenly, a man in a smart suit burst into his sight.

He has neat green short hair, black-rimmed glasses, and a calm and intellectual look on his face. Just look at the appearance, it should be an elite in the workplace.

However, he is not simple. With just one face, You saw that this man was extraordinary.

First of all, the body inside the straight suit is very strong, and you can roughly see the direction of the muscles through the clothes, which contains the power of perennial penance. The clothes on the chest are slightly unnatural, although they are very subtle, but there should be an angular thing hidden in the clothes, looking at the corners, it should be something like a hand [harmony] gun. Moreover, the whole person's breath is restrained, his breathing is very even, and his eyes are very normal to look straight ahead, camouflaging the feeling of serving ordinary people. However, this does not deceive the tour. If it is really an ordinary person, a person who walks over to him will subconsciously scan it with his spare eyes, so deliberately not looking at me, unless there is an emergency, and people who are in a hurry should walk in a hurry, at least not breathing evenly.

Is it a plainclothes police officer or a front-line investigator on a reconnaissance mission? You has a conclusion in his heart. The person in front of him deliberately hid his strength, but You was very sure that the green-haired man in front of him was not simple.

On the other side, Dudley, the green-haired glasses investigator who took a picture of You, also saw in an instant that this black-haired boy was unusual.

This quick observation method is one of Dudley's stunts, in order to prevent others from discovering, Dudley, as a first-class investigator, only needs to peek three or five times out of the corner of his eye to quickly find out what is wrong.

And the young man who had just met him clearly did not have anything wrong. But this happens to be Yu-Tatsumi's biggest flaw. How can ordinary people be flawless?

Through the position of the shoulder blades and the direction of the collarbone and the tightness of the muscles, Dudley could immediately see that this man was a martial arts expert, and his eyes were very sharp, and he was observing himself. Moreover, his footwork is light and his breathing and heartbeat are barely perceptible, so he should be the type who is good at physical combat, or the type who is proficient in stealth movements.

Is it a newcomer to the guerrillas? I got the news that two guerrilla recruits will come today. Seems to be a reliable person.

Come on, newcomer. Dudley blessed the young man in his heart. He couldn't help but think of Lloyd Bannings, who was also a newcomer, the younger brother of Guy Bannings.

Thinking of the rookie with the name of the search officer, Dudley sighed under his breath and muttered to himself.

"Grow a little longer......"

――――――――――

"I'm back."

You pushed open the door of the support department, and the bright midday sun was violently projected behind him, and he felt that the room was suddenly much warmer.

"Welcome back."

Rui whispered, bowing to You. You shrugged, rubbed his hair a little distressedly, and said to himself: "It's okay to talk to me, why can't you change someone else......"

"The master is different......" Rui replied in a whisper. Because she rarely speaks, she is not very familiar with the use of vocal cords, and sometimes even bites her tongue.

"Well, if you want to say it's different......" You walked into the kitchen, took a drink for himself, and threw his coat on the table. …… Then Lloyd must be 'different' too, right? ”

You sat down, looking up at Rui's weak face with his eyes, faintly joking.

"I ...... Hate that person. Rui hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

"Huh?!"

Yu Tatsumi squirted out a mouthful of drink, and all of it fell on his coat, Rui was startled and hurriedly wiped it. However, it was still a step too slow, and the drink smeared into a large stain on the white clothes.

"Hate, hate?" You's voice blended curiosity and surprise, looking at Rui's previous reaction to Lloyd, no matter how you look at it, it's not a nasty feeling, right?

"Hmmm......"

"Well, can you ask a little bit why?"

"He, always wants to spy on the true identity of the master......"

Rui lowered her head, her beautiful black hair hanging down her face, her expression could not be seen clearly, but she could clearly see her biting her lip gently. Yu's original gentle smile stiffened suddenly.

Of course, he knew that Lloyd was observing himself, trying to deduce his identity from his words and subtle movements. Although Lloyd is a searcher, he is still a little immature, and even a first-class investigator like Dudley can't collect information without being discovered at all, let alone Lloyd, a newcomer?

However, you don't care.

He did hide his true identity, but he didn't care about it being exposed. When he was still in the kingdom of Liber, he confessed his identity, and then completely left Liber, the home where he had lived for nearly ten years.

If it is discovered by Lloyd, You will only leave Crossbell and go to the next destination, maybe the Erebonian Empire, maybe the Republic of Calvard, or the Duchy of Remephilia, in short, will not continue to stay in Crossbell.

I have no reason to leave here, and likewise, no reason to stay here. This is the reason why Yu Tatsumi is temporarily living in Crossbell. And once his identity is revealed, he will have a reason to leave.

After all, his identity is too dangerous.

Unexpectedly, things that even You didn't care about would make Rui start to hate someone.

Thinking about it this way, when Rui interrupted Lloyd, Lloyd was observing me, intentionally or unintentionally. It turned out that it was to interrupt Lloyd's train of thought?

You couldn't help laughing, but his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle.

"Really...... That's stupid...... There's no need to care about that. ”

You reached over to touch Rui's head and soothe her. Rui raised her head suddenly, letting his hand touch the air.

"It is necessary...... It's necessary! ”

For the first time, Yu Tatsumi saw an almost desperate, hysterical expression on Rui's face, and her voice rose to a height and became a little hoarse: "The identity of the master has been exposed, and I am going to be forced to leave here again!" ”

"Ah...... That's right. You admitted it calmly.

"It hurts, doesn't it...... It's going to hurt......" Rui said, covering her heart with her left hand and pressing You's chest with her right hand.

"You mean...... Heartache? ”

"Hmm...... You want to leave your hometown, the people you like, Mr. Garne, Mr. Cruz, Miss Caruna, Mr. Kuruz, Miss Janellas, Miss Estelle, Miss Clos, Mr. Joshua, when you leave these people, you are crying! ”

Tears flowed from the eyes of this kind and delicate girl. The list of names she had just uttered were all bonds that Yu-Tatsumi had formed when he was still in Libel.

You was silent, and he put away the warm smile he used to disguise, revealing a slightly sad look. He wanted to interrupt Rui, but he didn't know what to say. Only after Rui finished speaking, did he laugh at himself lightly: "I didn't cry......"

"The host...... Do you like it? ”

Rui sniffled hard, and Pear Blossom stared at You's eyes with rain, very firm.

"I like the gentle Mr. Lloyd, the intellectual Miss Ellie, the cheerful Mr. Randy, the calm Miss Theo, and the lazy Mr. Sergei, you like this support department!"

"I ...... I don't know ......."

For the first time, Rui's attitude became very tough. Also for the first time, Yu bowed his head to his nominal slave.

"I will protect the master...... Just stay...... Isn't it good to hide your true identity and live in the support department like this...... I won't let Lloyd explore the ...... of being a host."

Rui's knees weakened, and the sudden outburst of emotions made her feel a little weak for a while, and You quickly grabbed her arm.

"What a ...... What about the stupid slave......" You said with a smile, but a tear ran down his cheek.

You're just a normal girl...... How could you possibly have the power to stop Lloyd from finding the truth? And there's no need to do so much for me.

"What a stupid host...... Silly melon! A sucker! Not frank tsundere! Not to be outdone, Rui retorted.

You sighed and hugged her in a half-squat.

"Where did you learn this vocabulary......?"
