The mining town of Mainz, located in the north of the Autonomous Region of Crossbell, is one of the economic lifelines of the entire Crossbell, through the beautiful forests and dark winding tunnels of the foothills.

Qiyao Stone, a beautiful and fragile stone. In ancient times, it was once among the ranks of luxury goods, but because it was not rare and easy to break, it was only because of its beautiful color that it barely reached the bottom of luxury goods. In modern times, due to the development of industry, the technology called "guiding force" has quietly broken into people's lives and has become an indispensable energy source for people. Qiyaoshi, which can stably extract conductive energy, has also risen and become the lifeblood of the country.

Back then, when the Erebonia Empire invaded the Liber Kingdom, it was also because the Liber Kingdom took the lead in adopting advanced guidance technology and developed a guided airship to destroy the enemy's command system with blitzkrieg, I am afraid that it has now become the Liber State of the Erebonian Empire, right?

And the town of Mainz Mine is the largest Qiyao stone mining place in Crossbell, and there is no one.

In order to make it easier for workers to go down to the mine, the town of Mainz is located halfway up the mountain, near the entrance to the mine, and the whole town is so intricate that outsiders will get lost when they come for the first time.

Not far from the village is the "ruins" of the mining town. The location of the town changed with the change of mines. The old pit was finally abandoned because it was dug too deep, mined too much, and the monsters became more and more violent. A new Qiyao vein was detected not far away, and the whole town moved with it.

"In other words, the open space in front of the town, where there are many steel platforms, is the former mining town?" The young female voice asked back with a somewhat perfunctory attitude, no matter how you look at it, it is polite to ask this, as if people have to say a word of admiration for a long time after hearing someone report their name, whether they know it or not.

"Well, probably. Compared to the history of Mine Town, if you don't take it seriously, my cards will be out. The slightly casual male voice said this, casually playing a pair of kings, and now he only had three cards left in his hand.

"Hmm......" The woman made a troubled voice, and with her slightly frowning brow and serious eyes, it was very cute. The gray eyes confirmed his hand over and over again, and finally it was worth pulling his hair from his ears, and said helplessly: "Pass ......"

"Well, that's my win." The dark-haired man chuckled and punched the three aces out.

The rules of the two-player poker game are very simple, the deck of poker is drawn by two people and each other, and then the cards are played against each other until one of the players finishes playing the cards first. Although it sounds like a lot of trouble, it's a gameplay that was originally researched to kill time, and it's still fun to play when you're bored. As for gambling poker, the main purpose of playing poker is to win or lose in a short period of time. And the goal of the two is just to kill time.

By the way, in the rules set by the two, the ace is the highest card. In order to win against a man's two kings, a woman must play two aces...... However, there are only 4 aces in a deck of poker, and three of them are in the hands of men, which is not something that can be won seriously......

"No...... I'm really not good at poker......" The woman sighed, leaning heavily on the back of her chair, her delicate neck exposed.

Her words made the eyes of the man opposite light up: the average person who loses in poker often says prevaricating words such as "this is bad luck", while the woman in front of her decisively blames the problem on herself. Regardless of whether the mistake is your own or not, if there is one, you will be encouraged, and this practice will unconsciously train a person to be very tenacious.

She was wearing a light green half-sleeved shirt and a pink and white high-necked sleeveless sweater, the beige trim on the skirt of the light green miniskirt added a bit of brightness to her, and the white beanie hat was placed on her lap, which looked like it was due to the heat, and was temporarily taken off. The coordinates of the cute route and the heroic face of the feminine are unexpectedly matched.

The man raised his eyebrows, got up and went to the counter to buy a drink. The man is wearing a red and white tracksuit and sweatpants, which can be seen from the shoulders, elbows, knees, etc., which have been strengthened, and the shoes are also Storega's new red and white sneakers, and the whole person exudes a sunny and cheerful atmosphere. It is worth mentioning that the men's sportswear wears close-fitting purple and black tights.

These two are Yu Tatsumi and Noelle Shika.

At a previous search meeting, Sonia II advised Noelle to "take some time off and go to Crossbell to walk around, such as Mine Town" and other suggestive words. If Noelle couldn't hear what Sonia meant, it would be in vain for Sonya's cultivation.

So, Noelle Shika, a sergeant of the garrison, Sonia II's right-hand man and personal bodyguard, began his day of vacation. If it was just her, Sonia was confident that the investigation would not be hindered by the Commander's knowledge. And Noelle, as a sergeant of the garrison and Sonya's right-hand man, also has absolute power to make the mafia understand his situation. Besides, Enoelle's sense of justice told her all this but didn't let her participate, I'm afraid she would also be uneasy, right?

And most importantly......... Sonia already had a faint glimpse of Yu-Tatsumi's interest in Noelle.

She had seen that look in her early years, in a colleague. At that time, he also silently watched Sonya with this kind of fiery gaze, but at that time, Sonya, like Noelle now, attached too much importance to work and neglected emotions. If it weren't for a junior who keenly saw this and tried his best to match......

Putting aside these old things, Sonia herself is also very optimistic about Yuki Tatsumi. can match, she is happy to push.

So, the final plan of action was: You and Noelle Cheng bus first went to the mining town for a leisurely vacation, and Lloyd and the other five people walked to the mining town, and the two groups converged. As for Lloyd's offer to go there on foot, he also received the influence of the guerrillas: if you want to protect the place, you have to step over it and see it yourself.

So, there is the opening scene.

Yuki Tatsumi and Noelle are a bit bored playing cards in the inn in Mine Town, killing time.

"Speaking of which, you've been a little absent-minded since Noelle, or else, let's go out for a walk?" You You, who came back with a drink, saw that she was not in a good mood, and she had said that she was not good at poker, so she immediately came to the conclusion that Noelle didn't seem to like poker.

Noelle shook her head and sighed. She also saw that the man cared about herself, and she cheered up and explained, "It's not because of the cards, it's just ...... The rest of the garrison is working...... I'm here to go...... I don't think it's good. ”

Intermittently, Noelle muttered in a somewhat self-pitying tone.

"Haha......" You laughed, and he suddenly put the cold drink in his hand into Noelle's forehead......

"Wow, ah......h

The cold touch passed through her hair, from her forehead to her whole body, and Noelle's years of good training were vividly reflected at this moment, seeing that although she reflexively jumped up from the chair, her soft and explosive limbs neither snuggled up the chair nor kicked over the table, she calmed the panic of her conditioned reflex with the shortest time and the smallest range of movement.

"What are you doing...... Noelle glared at You dissatisfiedly, rubbing his forehead, hoping to warm up a little by rubbing it. Seeing this, You laughed again, seeing that Noelle's expression was becoming more and more unfriendly, he reluctantly suppressed his smile and coughed twice: "Ahem, I just feel that that expression is not suitable for you, I just want you to cheer up." ”

Lobbying handed over the drink that had just been pressed against Noelle's forehead, and Noelle snorted and took it anyway. Although the method is debatable, his intentions are good. Noelle forgave him anyway.

Hawkers,It's bothered by this kind of thing.,It's really a serious girl with a sense of justice.。 You sighed in her heart, it is rare to see a girl as serious as her, but like her sister, Fran Shika, there are more and more cheerful girls who smile and don't care about anything......

Although the distressed expression is also cute, this kind of serious expression is even better...... Wait a minute? Am I terrible...... Suddenly finding that his way of thinking was more and more inclined to "bully Noelle", You decisively gave up thinking and began to change the topic.

"Well, anyway, I just made an appointment with Lloyd and the others to meet in the Mine Town, and before that I can do what I'm interested in. And the guys from Rubacher haven't come yet. ”

Noelle nodded, although she always felt sorry for the rest of the garrison, but this time it was also a mission, and the distinction between public and private was Noelle's characteristic. This time the guilt is also because business is a private matter, and the concept of confusion makes it a little difficult for her to adapt for a while.

If you have a day off today, you can make up for it next time when it's your turn to take a vacation. Noelle made up his mind, put his beanie hat back on his head, and gave a military salute: "So, can I make some requests that exceed my authority?" ”
