No one knew how they spent the night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's muddy, like the walking dead. Logic, language, thinking, and other abilities seem to have all been reduced to empty words.

The end of the Phantom Flame Project was really a severe blow to everyone.

Not to mention the support department, even Mariabel, the person who devoured the snake, felt as if something had hollowed it out, and the whole person became a puppet, unable to think.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, which is a very sad thing.

And even more sad than this incident is that Maria Belle did not realize until she was betrayed by Lancet that she was not a yellow finch, but a praying mantis! I've always thought I was a great existence!

This night, everyone did not choose to return to the room, and the more everyone who lacked a sense of reality, the more they calmed down, the more they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. So, everyone lived together in the lobby on the first floor of the support department, as if they were children going out camping together, as if they were really in this space.

Except for Yu Tatsumi.

Rarely, he was stuffy in the room alone.

This time, even Rui was kicked out.

Alone in the room, not saying anything.

This is rare, at least, this is the first time since Rui has an impression that You Tatsumi asks himself to go out because of mood problems. There is no way to do the previous separation, either as a task, or as a cover-up......

"Yuchen ......"

Early in the morning, Rui, who had been trained as a slave, woke up first.

It was now closer to the early hours of the morning than early in the morning, and it was summer, but the air could only feel cold, the sky was just beginning to glow, and the familiar furniture and furnishings seemed to be shrouded in a hazy and deep blue-purple.

"Yo, you're awake?"

The soft greeting, as if talking to Rui's previous dream. Guy Bannings shifted his body, peeking his shoulders out of the cup, and his right hand was withdrawn to support his head.

It must be mentioned that Guy likes to sleep naked, which is completely different from Lloyd, who must wear an undershirt when he sleeps, and this man's strong muscles are exposed to the air, which unexpectedly makes Rui feel reassured.

Because...... When I was a slave, everyone was like this, and I didn't mind exposing my body to the outside. Guy's casualness gave her a strange sense of reassurance, a feeling of relief from seeing a familiar landscape.

“…… (nods)"

It was the first time Rui had slept with so many people, and she tried to climb out of the covers, but failed.

In her hands, Ellie is like a drowning person, her hands and feet are wrapped around Rui's body, for example, it is like the relationship between vines and tree trunks, right? Ellie's whole body clings to Rui's back, and where the two touch, their pajamas are already wet with sweat.

Probably, it's the insecurity in sleep, and the subconscious trying to protect yourself by hugging, right?

In front of Rui was Mariabel. This shrewd and capable woman rarely untied the exaggerated vertical spiral braids, and her soft hair was casually draped. Her target is clearly not Rui, but Ellie...... She spread her hands wide as if Rui didn't exist, and put them on Ellie's shoulders, looking contented......

Rui felt that she should have secretly gotten up in the middle of the night to adjust her position. That's what she said.

What's more, Rui remembers very well that he should be next to Theo......

Unable to move, Rui could only silently cast his gaze at Guy, the man who was supposed to be dead smiled nonchalantly, and quipped softly, "Very popular, Miss Rui." ”

While fighting at Orchid Tower, Rui is protected by the Guerrilla Guild, and Scott and Wincel take the opportunity to arrest Guy's killer, Attorney Ian, and hold them together with the Guerrilla Guild. I don't know when, Rui suddenly came to the support department.

However, she was keenly aware that now was not the time to ask this question, so she gave up asking.

Facing Guy, Rui was still a little relieved. I have to say that Guy has a wonderful charm that makes people want to trust him, and his smile is full of this contagion. Rui, who had a little intersection with him, knew this very well.

"Guy...... Mr? ”

"Ah, it's okay if you don't use honorifics. What the? ”

"What happened?"

“…… That's really, hard to put into words......"

Guy put it in an extraordinarily precise way. If anyone can sum up the whole thing in one sentence, then Guy really seems to have seen it.

There are so many things to mess up that it almost makes people's brains explode.

Seeing that Rui's face was written with "what is so difficult", Guy smiled bitterly and gave up explaining to her. This kind of thing, sure enough, should be discussed together after everyone gets up.

He cautiously pulled out, sat up and looked around.

As I said before, everyone in the Support Section is crowded into this hall. Lay the table down against the wall, and the large space that was originally used for eating was immediately transformed into a spacious place to rest.

Lloyd's sleeping position was as good as ever, lying upright, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, and this standard sleeping position was also like his character, well-behaved, as if he were a searcher carved out of a mold. This is completely different from Guy, who doesn't look like a search officer at all.

Beside Lloyd, there was a long silver haired Kia, who had not yet recovered to her original state, and the little girl's clothes seemed to be on her body, and she didn't take them off when she slept, and even so, there was no trace of wrinkles, and they fit perfectly on her body. She lay on Lloyd's chest like a koala, and if she looked closely, Kia still had tears of happiness on her face. She...... I really like Lloyd.

However, this love is really a bit heavy. Whether it's the weight that made Lloyd frown in his sleep, or the age limit for marriage in the marriage law.

Looking at the side again, Theo and Hexu were lying on their sides facing each other, one wearing black pajamas and the other in white pajamas, two small pairs of hands holding together like a heart shape. In the middle of this love is the mature sleeping face of the droplet. The direct friendship of children is really beautiful.

I have to say that Xiaodi has grown up a lot.

Guy couldn't help but sigh with emotion, remembering that the last time he saw Droplet, she was obviously much smaller. At this time, he deeply felt that he was not a person of this world.

Noelle and Mireu sleep like soldiers, more rigid and sensitive than Lloyd, and it should be no coincidence that Guy keenly noticed that their bodies happened to be in a state where they could get up at any time.

And among the two, it is President Dita who does not know whether to envy or lament. That's right, he slept between two female officers, with shackles on his hands, one on each side, so that President Dita must have been unable to escape.

By the way, Mariabel was supposed to be shackled as well, but I have to say that she is worthy of the legendary alchemist family, and it must not be difficult for her to open a lock. She wore two beautiful jade bracelets on her wrists, and I wonder if the handcuffs were transformed into jade bracelets by alchemy......

Alchemy is so convenient!

Guy suddenly sighed: If he has this ability, go to his family plan, he will definitely use this to make a big vote first!

Waji wasn't here, he was forced by Varudo last night and dragged to the Old Town. "The Old Town is your home!" exclaimed. Don't stay with these unseeded guys, they're contagious! Then he forcibly dragged Waji away. He is one of the few people who really cares about Waji.

When she saw Lixia, she had obviously woken up, and her big eyes flashed back at Guy, and Lixia nodded lightly. There's really not much to say about her sleeping position, the Assassin's sleep is about efficiency, and it's basically like a log after falling asleep.

Vincent, someone Guy didn't know, and instead of lying down, he sat at the top of the stairs, with a three-chucked stick in his hand, and his piercing eyes fixed on the door.

Judging from the slight bloodshot at the corners of his eyes and the slightly sluggish spirit, he should have not slept all night. Seeing Guy wake up, he yawned nonchalantly and closed his eyes.

Following his line of sight, Guy saw his best friend, Arios.

He sat in the doorway, holding a sword in both hands, like a gatekeeper.

Probably out of guilt, he didn't join everyone and slept together, but chose to guard everyone's sleep...... In this sense, he was still the Wind Swordmaster that Guy knew.

"Mmmmow~"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like a cat meowing and a coquettish voice came.

Woke up again?

Guy turned his gaze and saw a red-haired girl with her hands and feet wide open, and her beautiful skin was showing the temperature in the early morning air.

Beside her, a man with almost the same hair color as hers, was being oppressed by her sleeping posture with a big grin, revealing a look of pain like Lloyd.

This man Guy knew him, and he seemed to be calling Randy. I heard Li Cao introduce this person.

Next to him seemed to be his sister......

Did she go to bed last night, though?

Isn't there any?

Yes?

Well, I don't remember exactly.

Guy grinned and fooled around.

"Of the support section! You're still there—hey! What are you doing!! Do you want me to take you away on charges of disturbing the morals? ”

Suddenly, the peace of the morning was shattered.

The man in a dark blue suit, wearing glasses, and the rigid word from his bones, kicked open the door of the support department, and before he could say anything, Arios's sword intercepted his neck first.

Seeing that it was Dudley, Arios silently accepted the knife.

Dudley's focus is obviously strange.

But...... I don't blame him. Anyone who suddenly sees so many men and women sleeping together will be amazed.

Especially a rigid person like Dudley......

However, we haven't waited for everyone to react......

"Guys from the Roar Support Section, there's big news - whoa, whoa, whoa! Indecent scandal within the Support Division exposed!! Sleep in a crowd!! That's all for today's headlines! Let's take a picture~"

Then there is another trouble......

Grace? Lynn, a fired reporter for Time magazine, was holding up her camera and was threatened by the Sword of the Wind, so she didn't take pictures......

――――――――

Whether it's Dudley or Grace, there's only one reason for coming here.

That's the thing about Ranster.

If you could, everyone would have liked yesterday to be a dream, a nightmare. Because, the nightmare, although nasty, is at least false, and it will pass afterward.

However, the reality is that it is disgusting because it will not pass.

Both bring the same message.

President Dita was dismissed, Deputy Speaker McDowell was reinstated, and the world was devastated......

These three pieces of news are like three thunderbolts in the clear sky...... If one thunder can't wake people up, three is enough, right?

Everyone understands that yesterday was not a dream.

Rather, it's real...... Reality......

However, what is the future, going back to the past, reversing time, the Seven Treasures...... It's like a fairy tale......

To be reasonable, if you haven't really seen Ranster's ability, if you just listen to someone tell this story, you must think that the other party has a brain problem...... Or, isn't it entertaining yourself......

However, the brutal truth is......

"News came from both Remephilia and Liber this morning, and there are attacks of varying degrees in the Luan area, the Bosch area, and the entire territory of Remifilia, which are severely affected and ......"

Dudley pushed down his glasses, and his face, which was already unsmiling, was full of the word grim this time, and his face almost turned blue.

It's not just a casual game...... Lenster is serious.

"Well, judging by the news of the Empire and the Republic, these two countries have been more severely affected, let's just say the Empire, it is said that the imperial capital of Hairdam has almost disappeared by three-quarters! Now the two great powers are in complete chaos! ”

As we all know, the news is the mouthpiece of the government, and the news published on the news must be processed...... But even so, it is still so sinister, which shows how appalling this news was before it was processed.

Grace, who is so giggling, also has a sad face when she mentions this news. Although the casualties were the two major powers that bullied Crossbell together, Grace was not happy at all.

In the face of such a tragedy, all she could think of was the idea of as many survivors as possible.

Lancet, the enemy of humanity......

An enemy strong enough to make humanity abandon their hatred and join forces to fight.

The famous saying in the East, "Brothers are on the wall, and the outside is insulted" is exactly this truth.

"So, can you show me a map of the affected area?"

Mariabel spoke suddenly.

Before the others could respond, Dudley frowned, his right hand clasped tightly on the pistol on his chest.

"The people of association...... What are you doing here! ”

"Hmph...... That's really too much to look up to...... I wish I had been an association......"

In Mariabel's tone, where is the majesty of the past?

Lloyd nodded silently, and Guy also showed a pleading look, and Dudley snorted coldly and took something else out of his arms.

"This is a preliminary count of the affected areas as of 30 minutes ago, and it seems that there is no order."

Mariabel carefully compared the map...... With one hand on his cheek, he pondered carefully...... After a long time, she clapped her hands: "Although I don't know if it's a coincidence...... However, on this map, these places are the secret bases of the association. ”

Mariabell's slender finger quickly drew a few points on the map, and then, with another finger, she continued to point to a few places, "These places are the secret supporters of the Society. As for the rest of the place, I don't know. The secret base of the association, even I only know a few. ”

"The rest is here."

Suddenly, a coquettish female voice rang out, and the Wind Blademaster and Randy drew their weapons almost simultaneously, and Dudley quickly adjusted the muzzle position, but wasted no time in pulling out the gun.

The visitor was dressed in an aqua-blue robe, and the flowing colors of magic flickered on it.

Her voice was melodious, as if there was an invisible magic that made that person fall in love with it.

Vita? Clotide.

Aono Songhime.

The two pillars of the association, the rare witch, the abyss of the sky.

As if nothing happened, she walked into the support section from the main entrance with a big grin.

"What are you doing here!"

Mariabel was in a bad mood, and her indignant words could clearly hear her taste of finding fault.

Vita remained silent, walked up to her, ignored her, and reached out from behind her back to draw on the map.

"Here and here, and here, these places are also places related to associations, either secret bases or locations for institutes and supporters. It can be said that Ranster-kun's blow greatly damaged the vitality of the association...... No, it should be said, almost all the army was wiped out, right? Having lost its financial and technical support, the association is no longer capable of fighting. ”

“！”

This......

Give the association to ......

The news was so shocking that everyone was stunned.

"Wait? If...... If the association is completely destroyed...... So, are these places ......?"

Ellie narrowed her eyes and carefully recalled the information in her mind, she had been to various countries in order to study abroad, although she was not too impressed, but if her memory was correct......

"Ah, that's sharp, Ellie. That's right, the rest of the places are all 'churches', or rather, churches with 'stories'. To put it bluntly, they are all relevant departments of the armed forces of the Church. Ah--what a ruler of time and a prying eye of fate, the secret bases of associations and churches are all served by him! Amazing......"

“！ Waji! ”

Ellie looked at the door in surprise, the green-haired boy had changed back into the strange costume of the Holy Book Society, and Abbas beside him was still wearing the uniform of the Star Grail Knights, sunglasses, bald head, and religion, which combined to reveal a special strange courage.

Varudo was beside him, carrying his own wooden knife, snorting unhappily, turning his head sideways, not looking at the people in the support department.

"I don't know if it's all of them, but considering the power of Lancet, I think it can be said that the power of the association and the church has been completely annihilated. What about the armies of various countries? ”

As soon as Waji arrived, he immediately asked in retort, perhaps sensing the amazing willpower in his easy-going temperament, Dudley paused, and answered his question anyway.

"The armies of the countries did not suffer too many blows......

Then the meaning is obvious. His goal is simply a 'hidden mystical power'. But...... How, exactly? ”

Waji's self-muttering questions focused everyone's attention on Vita, and the charming woman smiled helplessly and said bitterly, "I know, I'll just say it." Actually, the unexpected is very simple...... Lancet's ability to manipulate time right, then just give the researcher a goal, and then delete the intermediate development process, no matter how many years it takes, the result is that the next second, the new technology is successfully developed. ”

"No wonder, this makes sense, the speed of development of new weapons, the Karuman consortium is really unbelievably fast. If you think about it, it can't take that little time from development to testing to final mass production. Moreover, their 'self-confidence' is understandable. ”

Randy nodded thoughtfully, he was a person who used powder guns as his main weapon, so he naturally understood the speed of development of powder guns.

"And...... It is understandable why the weapons style of the Karuman consortium is so close...... Because the researcher's thinking doesn't follow suit, it's just an infinite extension of similar technology......"

Lloyd also thought of a corollary.

"Wonderful, everyone. Hehe, I immediately deduced it. ”

Waji smiled easily, and his relaxed appearance was similar to that of Waji last night.

"But it doesn't seem to be much use knowing this—what can I do? What are we going to do with Ranster? I don't think that madman will listen to what we say, and I can only communicate with him with weapons. ”

Theo's cold words were as sharp as what she said. However, it said to everyone's hearts.

Lancet is a creature who has experienced countless times, and naturally, he should already have a firm belief that will never be shaken, and in the face of such people, lobbying is probably useless.

"Wow, spare me...... I can't think of how to fight that guy! Time pauses! ”

Randy let out a long sigh and was about to continue saying something - "Ouch! ”

However, it was interrupted, and it turned out to be Vincent, who was sitting at the top of the stairs as if he was sleeping, and raised his hand to wave the three-section stick, striking Randy in the back of the head with a blow.

"Fuck the bastard......"

"Hey! Stop wielding weapons indoors! ”

“…… Poof......"

Faced with this situation, Vita couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. Randy glared at her fiercely, "Don't, don't think you can laugh at us if you're a big star!" I'm telling you, we'll never forgive you - even if you send us a special poster, it's useless! ”

"So, is there any discussion about the special poster plus autograph, and then the ticket for the special seat of the Imperial Theater?"

“……”

"Hey Randy!"

Ellie smacked his chest in dissatisfaction, and the air was filled with pleasure again.

That's right.

This kind of joyful atmosphere is what the Support Division is!

If you are lifeless, you can't think of anything. (To be continued.) )
