It had only been a few days since I left Crossbell, but it seemed like a long time before I set foot on this land again.
"Ling, what do you mean?"
"Well, this is also a kind of change of mood."
When I was sitting in the Support Section building answering Tio, it was a time when the rest of the Support Section had not yet gotten up. Rather than saying it was morning exercise time, it was actually not yet sunrise.
In a slightly dark room, the winning rate of the two people playing Bomu Peng online was 50-50.
"Is there any follow-up news about the ruins to the east that I mentioned last time?"
"No. The Republic seems not to want us, Crossbell, to get too involved. Mr. Dudley, who listened to the lesson, said that the intelligence there has been blocked."
"They still hate outsiders as always. Well, the Empire is the same."
Putting down the Enigma in his hand, Tio thought for a moment, "Speaking of which, Ling rarely goes to the Republic. Compared with the time she spent in the Empire, compared with the time she went to Libel, and compared with the time she went to Northumbria.
Compared with time...except for the main mountain of the Taidou style, I almost never stop in the cities of the Republic. I remember that it seems to be your second hometown?"
"I just lived there before I was five years old. My poor adoptive parents once lived in the house and there are new residents. For me, there is nothing worth remembering there. Now I am an Imperial citizen?"
"Ha, why do you sound like you were many years ago?"
"Because it really happened many years ago. Normally ordinary people can't remember what happened when they were young. It's an unusual situation for the two of us to be able to recall it. It can be said that we worshiped the "D∴G Order"
What a gift."
The darkness that enveloped the window followed deep into the room. As the dawn light shone in, it seemed to announce the beginning of a new day.
Ling swung the fingers of her right hand together, opened a crack in her side, and took out a bottle of Grand Salina and the matching crystal cup.
"Tio, would you like a glass of grape juice to refresh yourself?"
"Hey, this is the wine bar! We minors can't drink!"
"Ha, that's the law of the empire. Crossbell's law doesn't have such provisions."
After filling his own cup, he also poured Tio a cup.
It is not because of decades of aging. The color of young wines is not dark. Of course, the taste is also not.
"With our unusual physiques, it is unlikely that we will get drunk. For us, there is no difference between wine and grape juice, right?"
After Ling finished speaking, she corked the wine bottle and returned it to the invisible position.
"Well, use the hard-earned power in such an inexplicable place."
"This is how extraordinary power should be used."
Ling could do things like tearing apart space six years ago when she built "Arondette", but it could only be torn apart and could not be used as easily as it is now. Create a portable space with a small capacity.
She still used the power of a certain ancient relic she obtained not long ago to separate part of the Shadow City Fortress. What she could do with the use of ancient relics still cannot be considered her own power. But with her state of mind
changes, she had no intention of getting into trouble with that kind of thing.
Ling narrowed her eyes slightly and brought the wine glass to her mouth.
"Is there any significant improvement over Bannings?"
"Maybe that's the case. Of course, there is no improvement in strength. What I mean is that the way he handles things has become more sophisticated. He already looks like our captain."
Tio paused for a moment before answering, "You don't still want to cause trouble for him, do you?"
"No, no. I pay attention to Bannings not only because he is Tio's colleague."
Ling put her folded fingers on her chin.
"Tio, you should know that I can see part of the cause and effect."
"Could it be that you saw him interacting with you? That's just a possibility in the future, right? You don't really believe what you saw, do you?"
"He is qualified. He has something in him that both you and I lack. Well, it might not be appropriate to explain it as strength. It's not strength but something else. Let me think about it... hmm,'
Benevolence'?"
"Where are the obscure oriental characters."
"There is also a pun intended. It is not the extraordinary power of the Riding God that can change the shape of war, but the extraordinary things that belong to ordinary people. That brilliance kind of attracts me."
"How dare you say that even though you haven't even met each other a few times?" Tio sometimes feels that she can't understand her friend's mind.
"Ha, I just said it casually, don't worry about it, don't care about it. Generally speaking, the 'him' I saw is someone who runs counter to my approach. But it is precisely because of this that he attracts me. Well, compared to
For Estelle and Rean, the slightly ordinary Lloyd made me pay more attention."
An unfamiliar name came out of Ling's mouth, making Tio stunned.
"I know Estelle and have met him several times before. Who is Rean?"
"He is the junior brother of Cassius and Arios. He is also the heir to Baron Youmil. Didn't we go to Fengyi Pavilion to soak in the hot springs before? He happened to not be in Snow Mountain Town at that time, otherwise we might be able to see him.
Maybe, I use them as examples because they are all people who are burdened with huge karma. Well, although I don’t really believe in this myself.”
"I don't believe you are still telling me this."
The morning tea party, no, the morning wine party came to an end just like that. The aroma of wine that filled the air was burned away by Ling's purple flames, leaving no trace.

After Ellie got up, what she saw was Tio controlling the force guidance terminal early.
"Good morning, Tio. It smells so good. Is pie for breakfast today?"
Although the three meals in the Secret Service Support Section should be cooked by everyone in the Support Section in turn, Tio, who was aware of Ellie's special characteristics, suggested that Ellie stay away from the kitchen. She also contracted everyone's breakfast on the grounds that she got up early.
.
"Hmm. The berries that were overproduced last season in Orade Autonomous Prefecture are on sale at a special price. I ordered some on the Guoli Network."
"Online shopping... seems to be a fashionable new thing. Can you teach me how to do it next time? It seems like you can buy a lot of good things."
"Only we at Crossbell can spread the word. But Ellie should be fine. Brother Randy is here too, where is Lloyd?"
"Today is a public holiday, so Lloyd is probably still sleeping in. I have accumulated a lot of fatigue from the mission of tracking the Wind Pattern Chasseur Regiment in the past few days."
The red-haired young man came downstairs and after sniffing, he became a little concerned.
"I wonder if it's my imagination. It smells like wine?"
"Randy, are you drinking in your dream again?" Ellie complained.
"Haha, after all, this is what I'm good at. So, without waiting for Lloyd, the three of us will get going first. Section Chief Sergey is not here today, so we can have a good day off. I plan to go to the casino to play a few games.
, do you two ladies want to come together?"
"No, Randy, just do it yourself. I have an appointment with a friend today." Ellie's schedule is to go to the IBC to meet Bell first, and then go to her grandfather's office to help process the accumulated paperwork. This is the mayor's secretary
Arnest's suggestion became her part-time job when neither McDowell nor Allie objected.
"What about Xiaoti?"
"The testing of force guides and magic wands requires regular summary reports. In addition, some data need to be collected for the paper currently being written."
"Hey, don't be so tight. Xiaoti also needs a rest occasionally. This is our first rest day in a month as a team! How about I take you to Mixiulam for a day?"
"Brother Randy, are you serious? If you want to take someone to the amusement park, you should take Miss Mireyu there."
"Mireyou won't mind, okay?"
"Well, no, thank you for your kindness. But don't worry about my mental health. As a first-class researcher, I can allocate my energy as needed."
Since he was rejected by Tio, there was nothing he could do. Randy sat down and ate the breakfast pie made by Tio.
Although it was only a month, Tio himself was a little surprised by how quickly he got used to it. As a police officer in Crossbell, isn't this a little closer to Guy?
Probably, she thought.

PS1: Well, I would like to apologize to the readers first. This book has been updated monthly. It will not be updated recently. We will definitely change the settings when the track is released. Some people say that the possibility of the bandage being BE Rean is very high.
...It would be fun if I get breast milk.
PS2: We have recently been updating the magic record fanfic, and then writing about the Magic Chronicles fanfic, and I found that among the three protagonists, I still like Lloyd the best. The operation of Madoka becoming a god and changing the cause and effect to make the witch disappear is Chia's change.
The operation of cause and effect resurrecting Guy. This is denied by Lloyd. I agree with Lloyd. Not only joy and laughter, anger and sadness are also part of life. If these are also denied, what is left in life? Who will be lost?
Neither is the end of the world, life and death are both part of the story. The joys and sorrows are condensed into the story of Locus. In this article, I let Levi not die, but I hope that in future Locus works, Levi will stop pretending to be a corpse.
.The dead rest in peace.
PS3: In this chapter, the Gran Salina that Ling drank was given by Ogua.
