"W-That...... Tea & ...... Dim Sum ............"

Rui's voice trembled violently.

She was holding a tray full of cookies and puddings, trembling to put it down.

"Well, you sit down anyway!"

With that, You turned out of the kitchen, took the tray with one hand, and pressed her shoulder with the other, and pressed her to the seat with a gentle force. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but opposite Rui happened to be Lloyd.

Yu, Tatsumi and Lloyd, Ellie and Randy, Estelle and Joshua, who are guests, and Rui, a maid who is not wearing a maid costume, are now sitting around the table with seven people.

Several people simply introduced themselves to each other, and there was no conversation for a while.

Lloyd and his party are not familiar with the Istelle siblings, and Yuu Tatsumi has been helping out in the kitchen - although he is a man, his skills have been unanimously recognized by the Support Division, and he is known as the most popular man in the kitchen along with Lloyd (Randy)

"Well, don't be cold. Young people should talk more. You said Lao Cheng's words as he casually took a piece of cookie coated with lemon jam.

The casual words and casual movements made the others ease up a little, and they began to hold the dessert one after another. All of a sudden, it's a bit like a sorority or a tea party.

"Brother You's craftsmanship is as delicious as ever." Estelle licked the jam off her lips, and the simple smile that made several members of the Support Section feel their eyes flash at the same time.

"Haha, actually that one was made by Rui. I'm better at pudding than cookies. You smiled in response and said to Lloyd: "Lloyd-kun, this is the guerrilla junior I mentioned before, who is very similar to you. Don't look at her simple and unsuspecting, easy to trust other people's words, and always ignore the details, but she is a very reliable junior. ”

Lloyd smiled, his eyebrows furrowed a little helplessly: this doesn't sound like a reliable look......

Joshua laughed out loud and didn't refute: "Brother You is really ruthless." ”

"Uh......h Joshua, you ............" Estelle glared at Joshua with a displeased face.

Wow, it's obvious that Big Brother You said it first. Joshua smiled bitterly and retorted inwardly - as for saving her face in front of so many people, it was better to forget it.

"Your relationship is really good." Ellie said with some envy, and couldn't help but think: Can we be so harmonious in the end?

Ellie couldn't help but think back to the trust she felt in Randy when she first walked through the door. To be precise, it is a sense of security and trust in the Special Mission Support Section.

Humans sometimes feel as if they have seen what happened for the first time, and this phenomenon is called immediacy. Is this also a form of immediacy? Ellie picked up another strawberry-flavored cookie and put it in her mouth. In fact, thinking is also a highly energy-intensive exercise, and sugar can effectively restore the energy consumed by thinking.

Ellie used to eating dessert when she was thinking...... Of course, after thinking about it, the battle with calories is also very hard.

"After all, they are the companions who solved the 'Liber Anomaly' together." You didn't care about the situation that several people couldn't ignore.

"Hey, I always think you've just said something amazing......" Randy looked shocked.

"Okay, that's amazing......" Ellie's eyes grew surprised.

The so-called Liber Mutation is a huge disaster that suddenly appeared in the sky of the Liber Kingdom a year ago, and was accompanied by the cessation of the nationwide channeling force.

Although I heard that it was a matter that the Liber royal family and the guerrillas worked together to solve, I didn't expect You to actually get involved. But if you think about it, since you used to be a guerrilla to which Liber belonged, it was normal for him to help solve the mutation.

Lloyd recalled what he knew. Because the scope of this mutation is too large, it has slightly affected the border of the Erebonia Empire, and almost led to a war between the Erebonia Empire and the Liber Kingdom.

However, in this way, as a hero, why would he choose to self-exile instead? Or is it because of this mutation that I had to leave? Lloyd silently looked at the side of Yu's Tatsumi, the man with short black hair, who was now smiling brightly, and there was no trace of gloom at all.

Just as Lloyd's brows were tightly knit and he was about to continue reasoning, a pair of trembling hands holding a biscuit came into Lloyd's sight, it was Rui. Lloyd took the biscuit and gave her a gentle smile. The autistic girl seemed a little more at ease and sat down in her seat, which was a super challenge for her to stand up and straddle the table in order to hand Lloyd cookies.

"Well, didn't I say it? Liber mutation or something? ”

"I didn't say it, you guy." Randy laughed, hooking his neck and thrust his head into his arms. "What a hero to see!"

"Haha, please don't go around talking to 'my colleague is a hero'!"

Yu also joked along with Randy, and the light-hearted funny behavior of the two made everyone laugh, and the pleasant atmosphere spread throughout the Support Division at once. Joshua also took advantage of everyone's relationship to get a little closer, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Then, Brother You, do you still have no intention of becoming a guerrilla?" ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ainan, Mr. Jiaen, and Sister Aina all hope that Brother You can go back." Estelle also hurriedly took a sip of black tea and sent her mouth full of biscuits.

"Well, it's all said, my true identity, but I'm destined not to be with you." You said with a smile, his face was still cheerful without any haze. It's as if they're talking about something that doesn't concern them. "More than that, I want to know, how is the teacher doing?"

"Mr. Cruz is as good as ever." Estelle replied simply. Joshua added the information that Yu-Tatsumi wanted to know the most: "Mr. Cruz said, 'It's your choice,' and he ...... Didn't persuade you to come back. ”

"Yes." You closed her eyes, and the smile on her face disappeared for some time.

Sure enough, it's only temporary in the Support Division...... Is your identity really so dangerous? Lloyd looked at You's increasingly serious face, his brows furrowed.

"Sorry we shouldn't have ......"

"So, don't talk about this ......"

Joshua and Lloyd wanted to change the subject almost at the same time, but suddenly found that the other party was also planning to do the same, and they shut up together very tacitly. As a result, Yu Tatsumi took the opportunity to change the topic: "Speaking of which, have you reported to the association?" ”

"This ...... Hey, hey, haven't ...... yet," Estelle smiled a little embarrassedly.

"We're going to go to the association after visiting our seniors." Joshua spoke out his plan. "Also, we want to ask our seniors about that child......

"The kid?" Randy muttered, but it hurt in his ribs, only to see Ellie pinch him under his ribs with a smile on her face. Randy also immediately reacted that he was asking questions about other people's privacy, and since they used the vague term "that child", they definitely didn't want others to know.

But...... It hurts too much...... Can you change it to arms and thighs or something...... Randy put on a bitter gourd face and complained to Ellie with his eyes, only to receive a light "hum" from Ellie. Randy has no choice but to eat the bitter fruit of his own life.

"Well, that ......"

"We're back."

Just as You had just started talking, a cold voice interjected into the conversation. I saw a girl in black with long aqua blue hair leading a girl with short pale blonde hair and glasses into the main entrance of the support department.

"It's so cute...... I want to take it home......" Estelle was conquered at once.

"I—I said Astelle, don't act like an uncle." Joshua whispered a reminder to her.

"Sorry...... ...... carelessly" Estelle also found out about her own situation. Several people in the support department laughed, Estell's somewhat reckless personality didn't disgust them at all, and there was also an attitude that a young girl should have. Only Tio tilted his head in confusion, with a strange expression, and asked, "Is it a guest?" ”

"Eun, it's such a lively place! Dio-chan! The girl with the pale golden glasses looked curiously at everything around her.

"Looks like it needs to be explained thoroughly." Tio said this, and sighed quietly.

What a hassle...... But forget it, Hexu has to explain the matter to Lloyd's seniors.

Theo took Lotus's hand and walked towards the table.
