Chapter 122(1/2)
Ellie said: "As for Haru, Osborne also visited Crossbell last year, but it was informal. He just held talks with Haru and then returned home soon."
"During that time, this matter was still very noisy."
Lloyd said: "Is that so? Iron-Blooded Osborn is a very famous figure."
"The reason for his visit is interesting," Tio said.
"I see. Anyway, with this information, things that were still vague before have become a lot clearer." Lloyd said.
Ellie: "Well, the ruthless and all-round boss, who was once the second in command of a veteran mercenary, and Haru, who has a relationship with them."
Randy: "Not only that, but also the iron-blooded Osborne. No wonder Crossbell is like this."
Lloyd thought: "That's true."
Tio discovered something else at this time. She said: 'There is something hidden in this crystallized intelligence crystal.'
"Huh? Hidden data?"
Randy said: "Does that mean that kid Jonah is still hiding something?"
Tio: ‘Well, it seems to be to test whether I can discover it. I will teach him a lesson next time!”
Tio's fierce look made Lloyd ashamed.
"Now that we have discovered it, can we get the data out?" Lloyd said.
"Of course, it's a small matter." Tio replied.
Soon after she finished the operation, she checked the terminal.
Lloyd said: "This is an underground auction?"
Randy: "This is what Estya and the others are talking about. That kid Jonah is pretty good."
Tio: ‘It seems like this activity is real and has something to do with Lubache.’
Lloyd nodded: "Well, I thought it was suspicious before, so let's take a look at the information."
Check out this information: On the last day of the annual Founding Festival, the auction is hosted by Lubach.
The Chamber of Commerce hired Haru's mansion in the sanatorium to hold an auction. Although the auction contained some top-notch items, they were all items of unknown origin.
In addition, many people from surrounding countries will be entertained, and this event also has the functions of an underground social circle.
For Lubache, this was an important source of income, and for Haru, it was a good opportunity to make friends with powerful people.
In addition, the security work at the auction venue is strictly enforced by Lubache members, and only those with an invitation card engraved with the Mirror Rose can enter.
"This is it!" said Lloyd.
Ellie frowned and said, "Such an event is actually held every year."
"But it's really suspicious. Although it is said to be held secretly, the scale of the event is not small." Tio said.
Randy: "No, it's probably strictly restricted, otherwise this kind of thing would not go unnoticed."
"That's right." The person who interrupted was the section chief.
"Section Chief, thank you for your hard work." Lloyd said.
Sergey: "Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to trace it to this point by yourself. Well, don't talk about it here. Go to that room and I will tell you about it in general."
office.
"Does that mean that the information is correct?" Lloyd said.
Section Chief: "Although I don't know who found it, it is quite accurate."
Ellie: "But the headquarters also knows about it."
"Not everyone knows, but everyone in the first section knows." The section chief said, "Even Ous and the others from the Guerrilla Association, Ying Ai, must have known about it for a long time."
"Is this what is called a wall?" Lloyd said.
Section Chief: "This is a huge wall. Basically, I don't intend to restrict your activities, but for this matter, please don't interfere. This burden is too heavy for you.
Lloyd: "Why do you say that?"
Randy said: "It's not so much that the burden is too heavy for us, it's that we can't move at all."
The section chief fell silent.
Ellie: "To entertain so many people, the actual organizer is actually Haru, so we can't create a new work order."
Tio said: 'And they didn't harm civilians, so no one can intervene?'
Lloyd: "But even so."
Section Chief: "You are not the only ones who feel unwilling, especially those in the First Section. You probably gnash your teeth with hatred every year. If it is a major event that goes against humanity, even if it is motivated, the First Section will take action before the association takes action.
They are disconnected, but apart from the unknown origin of the auction items, it seems to be this luxurious party."
"In this case, we can't take action?" Lloyd said.
"To be honest, if you act rashly, the support section will probably be destroyed." The section chief said, "That's what it is all about."
Randy: "Oh."
Tio: "How could this happen?"
The section chief suddenly said: "I won't force you to accept it, but sometimes you have to face reality and recognize the limits of your abilities."
'However, as long as you always keep this unwillingness in mind, you will surely be able to turn around one day, as long as you don't give up."
Lloyd: "I understand, let's stop this matter."
Randy: "Oh."
After that, the third day of the memorial festival passed.
Tio's past, the story of her unknown brother, and the mysterious man named Kitty.
Detailed information about Lubache, and the auction that cannot be stopped.
That was a twisted symbol of Crossbell. These things circled repeatedly in Lloyd's mind, and he fell into sleep without realizing it.
the next day.
"Lloyd?"
"Um.?"
"Get up quickly and have a meeting!"
Hearing someone calling him, Lloyd woke up.
"Ah, good morning Lloyd." It was Ellie.
Lloyd said, "Well, good morning."
"I guess you must have thought too much last night and couldn't sleep due to tossing and turning, right?"
"Haha, I've been seen through, but are you okay, Ellie?" Lloyd said
Ellie: "Well, it's okay. If I get depressed over such a small thing, it will be endless. And maybe I didn't notice the possibility that there was something behind the so-called social party held in Crossbell.
But maybe I’m deceiving myself and pretending not to notice, in order to prevent myself from feeling more guilt and unwillingness.”
"So, I have decided to face the guilt and uneasiness in my heart frankly. This is not what the section chief said, but I think this can spur me on."
Lloyd: "Really... Well, since Ellie has adjusted her mentality so well, I can't hesitate any longer."
"We'll change clothes right away. You guys wait for me on the first floor!"
Ellie said: "The rebellion is ready, let's have a meeting while eating."
"Ah, thank you." Lloyd said.
After Ellie went out, Lloyd packed up after himself.
I thought to myself: Ellie is already so strong, she can’t lose.
Afterwards, we packed up and finished breakfast together.
Lloyd said: "Then, let's start the fourth day of work and confirm the new support request first for the sake of caution."
Ellie: "Yeah, after all, there are a lot of activities today, and many tourists have gone sightseeing outside the city."
Tio: "It seems there will be a lot of requests for finding lost objects and people."
"But to be honest, we can't take care of them all. We can just provide support within our ability," Randy said.
"Well, that's it." Lloyd said, "Let's work hard together."
Then the four people checked the terminal and began to execute the support request.
First, I came to the harbor area and met the client.
"Excuse me, we are the Special Agent Support Section and we are here to listen to requests for support. Is this the Chamber of Commerce's shed?" Lloyd said.
President: "Oh, it's you, and it's you who accepted the commission."
"Haha, hello, President Morse, I was transferred to the support department because of work." Lloyd said.
