Far East Branch, branch director's office.
After returning from the forest and completing the mission report, Lianhua was called here.
When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was the branch chief, John, sitting behind the desk.
"Being able to gain the support of the team members in such a short period of time is indeed a new type of divine machine. Please let me congratulate you first. Congratulations on becoming the captain of the first unit."
Seemingly sensing Lianhua's nervousness, the branch chief smiled and motioned for Lianhua to sit down. After Lianhua sat down, the branch chief began to explain to Lianhua.
"I asked you to come here to explain to you the captain's authority and tasks.
The first is the strengthening of permissions. We will allocate you a room dedicated to the captain, which is the room used by the former captain Gentian. You only need to connect to the computer terminal and update the user permissions.
In addition, previously unreadable information will be made available to you. It is our decision to open the information, so please understand the significance. This is our...Fenrir's trust in you, please don't betray our trust. "
At this point, the branch leader paused and crossed his hands on his chest, as if he was thinking about whether he should continue speaking. However, thinking that Lianhua became the captain was his choice, he smiled and spoke again.
"Next, it's about your obligations. In addition to the normal tasks, you also have to accept the special tasks that Gendan was responsible for before.
As you know, Project Holy Shield is about to enter its final stage. It is gratifying that the Ark, which protects mankind from the hands of the Aragami and opens up a new future for mankind, has finally reached its completion stage.
But we are still a little short of it, and we still need your strong assistance during this period. "
"And your next mission..."
Just when the branch director was about to explain, a sudden access request appeared on the computer screen, interrupting his words. After reaching out to type in a message and replying to the other party, the branch director put away the displeasure in his eyes and looked at Lianhua again.
"Let's talk about the mission next time."
"Looking forward to your activity, please step aside."
Nodding, Lianhua was about to open the door and leave. As he was leaving, Dr. Pera, who developed the magic machine, smiled and greeted Lianhua. Out of politeness, Lianhua walked out of the office area after saying hello.
After coming out of the office and looking at the closed door, Lianhua breathed a sigh of relief. She was under too much pressure.
In the office.
"I thought it was Perla."
Seeing the arrival of Dr. Pera, the branch leader immediately stood up and stood with his hands behind his hands. However, although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were not warm at all.
"You want to turn that kid into your lackey?"
Without much nonsense, Dr. Pera got straight to the point. Although his eyes were squinted, his eyes were very sharp.
"What's the meaning?"
And just after Dr. Pera finished speaking, the branch chief's eyes became sharper. For a moment, it seemed as if invisible lightning collided between the two people who were looking at each other.
"Compared to this, I haven't received a follow-up report on the matter I entrusted to you before."
Lightning flashed across the sky for just a moment. A few seconds later, the branch chief, who was good at coordinating the overall situation, put away his anger, and the original smile reappeared on his face, as if the smell of gunpowder between the two of them just now was completely gone.
"Ah, are you talking about the singularity?
Sorry, there are no clues yet. "
Still squinting, Dr. Pera pushed up his glasses and spoke casually. Now that the branch chief has taken a step back, he doesn't want to bother more.
"That's right, but that's an important part of the plan, so I have to leave it to you."
Dr. Pera's tone and answer were not what the branch director expected to hear at all. Taking a deep breath and looking at the portrait hanging on the wall, the branch director endured it again.
"Aren't you looking for it too? Have you found it?"
Seeing the branch chief turning around to express his out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude, Dr. Pera smiled slightly, but his tone was still so casual.
"It's really not possible to rely on Soma alone."
"So, you want to turn that child into a pawn, right?"
"I hope you can pay more attention to your words, doctor. You just need to pay attention to observation as before." Unlike Pera, who had an indifferent expression and a casual tone, the branch director turned around and looked at Dr. Pera condescendingly, with a very serious tone. Noticeably colder.
"Well, for me, everything is an object of observation. Therefore, I don't want any interesting objects of observation to be wasted."
Hearing the anger of the branch chief, Dr. Pera shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave.
"Thank you for your advice, stargazer. Please take a good look at 'our' results in the future."
Looking at the direction Dr. Pera left, the branch director lowered his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.
"So, which side will you support?"
"New captain."
…
Gentian's room.
Except for Lianhua who went to the branch chief's office, everyone in the first unit is here.
"Here, this local product is so delicious! Look at our branch, the quality of supplies has been declining recently.
I also know that I can't ask for too much, but the taste of the pudding military food is surprisingly bad, and the sweet feeling is simply unbearable. "
After tasting the local specialties brought back from the mission with the intention of giving it a try, Fujiki Hirota burst into tears. During this period, he left the God Eater's supply resources to his mother and sister, and he almost vomited after eating the pudding and military rations.
"When Lianhua comes back after being promoted to the new captain, should we hold a celebration party?"
Looking at the tearful Fujiki Kota with disgust, Alyssa looked at Liuyun sitting opposite, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Sitting upright, not impatient or irritable, at a glance, he is exactly the same as the person who slaughtered the Aragami before.
"I think it's okay."
After pouring himself another cup of tea, Liu Yun spoke. He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little uncomfortable.
If it were in St. Freya, there would definitely be a white-haired dumpling jumping excitedly during a celebration party.
There is also Alyssa. When we first met her, she was completely aloof and wanted to become stronger. Later, when we got to know her better, she found she was a bit silly and cute, which was quite fun to tease.
And after Liuyun killed Heavenly Father Diaus, Alyssa seemed to be showing signs of developing in a strange direction. Liu Yun always had the illusion that Alyssa was going to dissect him because of his constant gaze.
"In this case, let's do one. I still have the beer that I supplied before, Lianhua and Haotai, and the snacks and drinks that I brought from home. I'll call Sister Chun here later. Let's relax tonight! "
Seeing a bunch of people looking at him, Sakuye smiled. These guys said they were casual, but in the end they didn't want to relax more or less.
Thinking back to the first time Ringtong became the captain, Sakuye remembered very clearly that the guy Ringtong actually pulled her to drink beer all night long in excitement.
…………
"Stinky Liuyun! What do you mean by not coming to see me for so long!"
After the celebration, I returned to my room, and just as I was about to start tonight's sword meditation, Karen from the stigmata space shouted out, her voice plaintive, as if Liu Yun had really done something to feel sorry for her.
However, Liuyun seriously doubted whether Kaslana's family had an ancestral mantra. The tone of Kallen's words was exactly the same as Kiana's.
