Chapter 41: Invitation

The next morning, a relaxing time for breakfast.

The person who was in great pain yesterday because of his visit to the tripartite forces has a smile on his face today.

Whether it's Ellie or Noelle, they all have relaxed expressions, they are not disguised, but they really feel relaxed.

It seems that our captain really played a big role yesterday, not bad, captain!

Thinking so, Randy gulped down the bread wrapped with bacon in his mouth and asked indistinctly:

"Speaking of which, don't you have to go to the Rainbow Theater today?"

"Ah, to design the lighting of the stage today, apart from Miss Elijah's pillar, ordinary actors like us will not be of much help. So today is a holiday for me. ”

As soon as You finished explaining, Lloyd suddenly thought of something and asked, "Speaking of which, what role did you play?" ”

The Golden Sun and the Silver Moon is a dance drama inspired by a famous play, and it stands to reason that it should be the grudge between two dancing girls. It's really hard to imagine what a man can play.

"Ah, that's a secret. Anyway, you'll find me in the last scene of the stage. ”

You was deliberately vague.

In the final scene, in order to set the mood, there is a large group of people wielding spears in the background, and the stage is a gorgeous performance of three dancing girls. There is no problem with the statement of the tour. It's just that Lloyd and them will definitely misunderstand.

Lloyd answered, not speaking again, concentrating on breakfast.

At noon today, everyone will go to the Tower of the Stars to meet Silver.

Section 1 did not allow the Special Mission Support Section to investigate the threat letter, but did not order the Support Section to stay in the city. There was no order for the Support Section to be grounded and not allowed to meet with people.

That guy should be more excited than us, right?

Lloyd thought so, and then swept the state with the corner of his eye, and sure enough, although he was the same as usual on the surface, his hands had already been shaking restlessly.

On the other hand, Randy's interest was even better, and even the big boxes for the picnic were sorted out.

The Tower of Hoshimi is located in the forest south of Crossbell City.,I guess I'm going to have a barbecue party or something after I settle the silver-it's impossible!! Lloyd complained inwardly, but he didn't stop his companion.

As usual, things were handled as usual, and there were about two hours left before the appointed time, and the Support Division did not continue to accept the mission. Begin your journey towards the Tower of Hoshimi.

"Sa, Lloyd, let's separate here for the time being."

You suddenly made this suggestion. Lloyd looked at him a little strangely and asked, "Do you want to go there alone?" ”

"No, after all, if it's really Gin-sama...... I've got to prepare for him. Anyway, I'll meet you at the top of the tower. ”

With that, You returned to the room on his own. It's no surprise that the Support Section is always secretive.

――――――――――

The Star Tower has a long history, at least before Crossbell ruled over, and the Tower of Star View existed. No one can say the function and function, if it is an observation deck, it is too remote and too dangerous.

Along the way, everyone came to the bottom of the Tower of Star Seeing without much turmoil, because the encirclement and suppression of the demonic beasts of the Karumon Consortium before were too effective, so that now, although the demonic beasts in the forest have begun to resurrect, they are all small, relatively docile and non-aggressive demonic beasts, and everyone has not wasted too much time.

The ancient building is more apt to be called a small castle than a "tower". The bluestones are piled up to form a sturdy and towering wall, and the edges and corners of the stones are rounded by the wind and sand, and the traces of erosion of time are visible in these details. Because of the high level of technology, this ancient building still retains its general appearance. Passing through two stone steps and stepping over the damaged protective fence, the group came to the door of the Tower of Hoshimi.

The fence was originally used to prevent visitors from entering by mistake, but it has now been damaged. Presumably it was destroyed by Silver when he infiltrated it before.

Lloyd crouched down and examined it closely.

"It's the destruction caused by sharp weapons."

The Inquisitioner's knowledge came in handy, and Lloyd immediately recognized Silver's weapon.

"And, judging by this level of destruction, it should be a weapon like a great sword."

Randy casually added, carrying the box in his left hand and the axe gun in his right hand. From the very beginning, Randy has been in this state, and he didn't even put down the box when he was fighting.

"That Randy, how long are you going to carry that box with you?"

Ellie finally couldn't take it anymore and asked.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's right. I'll just take it here. ”

Randy was silent for a moment, left the box in the doorway, and opened it.

It is covered with impact-resistant foam blocks and red silk to prevent stains. Countless shiny metal parts lay quietly inside.

"Randy-senpai...... Thisβ€”this is ......"

Noelle had a look of disbelief, and Lloyd had a heavy expression.

Ellie was a little strange at first, until Randy started putting together the contents of it.

Randy was quick to assemble, and it was clear that he was very familiar with the weapon.

It was a firearm about the size of Randy's entire man, with a chamber covered in layers of armor and a large machete underneath the muzzle. The guns were all black, glowing in the sunlight with a cold, dazzling silver glow.

Ellie finally understood why the two companions were surprised.

Although Crossbell did not explicitly stipulate that it could not be used, the military and police had always refused to use it in order to avoid pressure from the Empire and the Republic.

In particular, this specification is similar to that of the Karumun Arms Chamber of Commerce......

"This ......"

Randy laughed in disgust and mockery, glanced at the weapon sarcastically, and said coldly, "This is who I used to be." Carry this thing and send countless enemies to hell on the battlefield. It's called Berserker, which fits me perfectly......"

Randy said, slapping the Berserker hard, only to hear a silent snap from inside. Lloyd took a breath and asked Ellie, "Ellie, is there a rule in the law of the autonomous prefecture that the police can't use this kind of firearm?" ”

"Uh...... To say yes or no...... No, there is none. After all, the laws of the autonomous region were set seventy years ago, and at that time there were no weapons of this specification. ”

Listening to Ellie's explanation, Lloyd nodded, revealing a bitter but warm smile.

"So, for the first time, I thank Cross Bell for not updating the law with the times. Randy, I'm allowing you to use this. ”

"Really...... Who wants your permission......"

Randy laughed and punched him, but his heart was warm.

Randy's use of this, if he wants to be guilty, is just Randy's own arbitrariness. But once Lloyd says the phrase I allow you to use it, then the main bearer of this sin becomes Lloyd.

It's as if someone kills someone with a sword, and the police will go to catch the killer, not the sword. Although the sword can also be controlled as a murder weapon, the crime alone is much smaller than the crime of homicide.

Lloyd's short sentence is equivalent to helping him carry Randy's sin in disguise.

"No problem...... Miss Noelle......"

Lloyd asked Noelle nervously, this companion was too righteous, and Lloyd was worried that she would not accept it. Unexpectedly, Noelle was still very happy. "I told you, Officer Lloyd, if this is what Randy's seniors thought was justice, I would respect it."

"Ah...... Speaking of which...... What the hell happened last night......"

Obviously, he should be happy, but Randy's expression is a little solemn now.

"The eldest lady looks like she is untouched, and Noelle is also very abnormal, Lloyd...... You guy...... There is a hand! ”

Randy said, high-fived him hard, and returned to his usual happy Randy.

The crowd laughed for a while, and Lloyd led the way to the door.

"Everyone, it's time to open the door......"
