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.
Ellie: "Please take good care of me."
Member: "President, do you know them?"
The president smiled and introduced, "This young man was opposite me when he was taking the train."
Lloyd: "That was before I came here."
"Haha, yes, it is indeed fate. Let's talk about business. Now there is something troubling. Everyone from the Secret Service Support Section is going to trouble you this time." The president said.
"No problem, leave it to us. I remember you made a request about a theft, right?" Lloyd said.
Randy said, 'Is it a serial theft?'
The member said: ‘Yes, from yesterday to today, the sales of every store in this harbor area have been stolen four times in a row.”
"This open-air stall was built by our Chamber of Commerce, so it's very clear."
President: "Based on the comprehensive judgment, it can be seen that this thief obviously only committed crimes against open-air stalls. We have no clues so we can't find him."
Ellie: "That's right, that's really tricky."
"And if it continues, there will be more victims." Tio analyzed.
President: "That's right, so we can no longer ignore this matter."
"The most important thing is that if this continues, it will cause inconvenience to the guests who come to enjoy the memorial festival. I beg you."
"Okay, the situation is serious and we will do our best," Lloyd said.
"Thank you then," the president said.
Randy said: "Hey, let us take charge, so you can relax. Speaking of which, Lloyd, how are you going to investigate? There are no clues now."
Lloyd: "It is true that there is too little information now. Can the president tell me where the victim's store is?"
"I want to ask them for search information first."
The president said: "Then I will sort out the list."
Afterwards, the president compiled the list and handed it to Lloyd.
Lloyd said: "There are four stores, let's visit them once."
"Everyone, just wait here. If anything happens, please contact us. After all, we don't know when the thief will strike again."
President: "Okay, we are waiting here and leave it to you."
After that, the four people began to investigate.
First come to the first store.
"I'm sorry, can I ask you something?" Lloyd said: "We are conducting a search about theft."
Shopkeeper: "Oh, that's right. We should be fine. My sister and I take turns looking after the store. It's hard to do it alone, but two people are much better."
Ellie: 'Have you seen any suspicious people around here?'
"Well, there were a few young men in red clothes over there just now. Who are those guys?" the shopkeeper said.
Randy said: "Don't worry about them, those guys are something else."
"I don't think they are the kind of people who would commit theft." Tio said, "But if they get into trouble, please report it to us as another case."
"Okay." The shopkeeper said.
Second place.
Randy said: "The big sister who makes handmade ice cream is so beautiful."
Lloyd complained: "Calm down, Randy, this is a shop that has been robbed."
"The first task is to gather information. If you're disturbing us, we are the ones investigating this incident. Can I have a few words with you?" Ellie asked the shopkeeper kindly.
Shopkeeper: "Ah, that's what happened. This place was indeed stolen while receiving guests."
Tio said: "During the reception?"
"Well, the story about that time was that he was a frivolous man, and he even started chatting with me."
"Because he had been pestering me in the past, I was about to step on him when I suddenly felt someone's presence behind me."
"But it was still a step too late. When I turned around, the cash register was already empty."
Lloyd said: "You don't know the details?"
"Yeah, it's really embarrassing this time." said the shopkeeper.
Then came to the third store.
"I'm sorry, can I ask you something?" Lloyd said, "I'm searching."
"I know, if he wants to come to my place, I will subdue him immediately!" said the shopkeeper.
"Well, this is not about clues. Do you have any?"
"I don't know at all, there are too many people," the shop owner said.
"That's right. Thank you very much for your cooperation." Ellie said seriously.
Then came to the fourth store.
Kuro: 'Welcome to the juice shop.'
"I remember that something unfortunate happened to your stall?" Lloyd said, "Can you tell us the details? We were sent by the president to investigate."
"Oh, I lost my money if I wasn't careful," the shopkeeper said.
"What do you think about the prisoner?" Tio asked.
Shopkeeper: "Well, I was greeting customers when I felt like a frivolous young man was chatting with another person."
"Then, just when I tried to refuse, I suddenly felt like there was someone behind me. When I turned around, the money was gone."
Ellie said: "He seems to be a very powerful person."
Then I went to a store and asked.
"Hello, we are investigating the theft from the store. Do you have any clues?" Lloyd said.
Shopkeeper: 'Well, I'm not sure about that.'
Then I went to one house after another, after inquiring at many houses.
Lloyd and others returned to the president's place.
The president said: "You're back? Do you know anything?"
Lloyd said: 'I have some ideas.'
Ellie said: "Then we have to sort out the information."
