I'll talk to you later, or this time ochi.

Even if Oliveira turns out to be a play-and-pump vampire (now) knowing the fact that "the operation itself was a deception rather than a failure of the operation," I'm the public talker.

"If you put it that way, I hear there's a diamond mine in the town of Celihos."

When I said, Commander Oliveira dispersed in a cold sweat saying, "I will forgive you only this time".

Congratulations on everything.

"That's not true. Watch your back, Master Akira."

"Ahai."

Well, there's nothing definite about it, so I won't press charges.

It is Sekiyama who tells the gendarmerie.

As a result of the subsequent reconnaissance of the Flying Dragon Squad, the human army apparently abandoned the town of Celihos.

If a disaster has devastated you and the streets have been blocked by a mountain collapse, no matter how diamond mines are located, you will have to make that decision.

And this time, there are about two people who are exposed to displeasure about not participating in Operation Mine Freund without any major offense.

"Why didn't you call me!

One is, needless to say, Leona of Mad.

As a lesson from this earthquake, it turns out that demonic statues can be used for multiple purposes.

So when I thought about asking for the design and development of specifications for the engineering corps of the new demonic statue "Alstromeria", Leona boarded the station station and threw up an earlier dialogue.

What happened to the station door? Do you need to hear that?

"No, I don't think Leona would have made a difference in that situation..."

"You've changed!

"For example?"

"For example - you know, you don't use demonic statues to intimidate mankind and cause fights."

"You're an invader."

I still didn't bring him in and he was right.

And the other expressing dissatisfaction, needless to say, is also Mr. Yayoi.

"... wanted to help Mr. Akira"

"No, but Mr. Yayoi is still a child, and if anything happens..."

"I'm not a child..."

That said, Mr. Yayoi couldn't leave with a hug on his hips.

No, isn't that what children are, I tried to say, but I stopped. Because I'm afraid of Leona's eyes.

Because it's the eyes that look at Lorikon criminals.

"Leona, I'm telling you, I..."

"Hmm, did I say something? Lorico...... not, Akira"

"No!

I am definitely not Loricon. Well, I like kids.

"But in this case, Yayoi is right. Akira is too unscrupulous. I'd be worried about that."

That's... that's what Mr. Sophia told me too.

He is the one who says that he is too unscrupulous and accumulates too much in his heart.

I'll probably never forget that night. In a double sense.

"... I'm reflecting. Sorry to bother you, too."

"Mm-hmm."

She forgave me when I stroked Mr. Yayoi's head to apologize for clinging. It's just that my clothes got a little damp.

Soon, it was something in the Demon King's Army that formed all sorts of relationships.

Is this what you call it, not another life?

If I was delayed in thinking so, I was called out by someone who was frustrated not to return to work at all times.

"What are you doing"

That was Mr. Sophia.

There are no Mr. Riina, Mr. Eli, or Mr. Yurier at the station right now due to various circumstances.

Because executives are not rooted, the amount of work she has to do is increasing.

I need to get back to this.

but before that, he noticed that Mr. Sophia's eyes were red.

"- So, Dear Akira, did you make a woman cry again? And a child."

"Yeah, again. But this time, I was forgiven."

"Make an effort not to make me cry this time. Like that night, I have a priori."

"I'll be careful"

Well, the woman who cried then is now smiling in front of me with no disgust or anything.

Nor is it okay if you accumulate it. I don't know what connects. There is someone to support it.

That's exactly why the barracks are here.

I could learn a lot again this time.

An army is how it grows -,

"Akira, I'm sorry I'm in the wrap-up."

"Uh, what. Why is Leona reading my mind?"

"What's on your face?"

Oh, seriously. What's the look on your face?

Hey, I need you to develop a photo machine and take my face and show it to me.

"Than that, Akira, I need to ask you something"

"... why?"

"Why did Sophia just say 'I made a woman cry again' and 'Like that night'? I wonder? And why does Sophia look a little less meaningful?

………………

When I looked softly at Mr. Sophia, she turned away to go with it.

When you see the edge of your mouth rising, it is absolutely deliberate.

... Sophia, you plotted it! Mr. Sophia!

Leona's face came even closer to seeing this series of actions as evidence of immobility.

Close. Close.

And why is Leona so angry? Is that it, because you didn't budget it?

"Akira, explain"

"Mr. Akira, what happened?

The face of Leona and Mr. Yayoi, who are mushy, passing by.

My instinct says it would be even more troublesome if I told the truth, though my face is that bad excuses would not work.

I mean, whatever I say here and now, it doesn't change the outcome!

"Yes, sir. You two should get back to work. There's no reason to be so profound."

but it's just a backup shooting from Mr. Sophia here.

"Really? Sophia, don't you lie to me?

"I don't lie. I just heard Akira's troubles and said I made a suggestion for it."

"What do you mean you cried!?"

"Don't worry, it's a different story."

Yeah, I certainly didn't lie.

The word "another story," Sophia said, "it's my story, but it's another story," and Leona received it as "you're not talking about Sophia."

It is, in other words, a magic of words. Let's refer to it.

Simply mad Leona is fine, but Mr. Yayoi says......

"Ji......"

I was staring. Ji and I were looking at each other.

You shouldn't stare at the hole so much. Because I'm going to tell you the truth.

"There's nothing to talk about. Look, we'll both be busy. Yayoi also has an improved design for the washing machine."

That's how I appropriately drove it back, and this commotion is over. I don't know how long I can hide it.

It's time for work.

The suspension of offensive operations and the earthquake resulted in severe depletion of supplies. We need to get rid of that.

"In the meantime, Mr. Sophia, shall we start with the Willica base thing?"

"I'm in awe, Master Akira. - But before you do, one good thing?

When I waved my job as usual, or as I once did, Mr. Sophia laughed a little and stopped by my side.

"... what's up?

When I asked, Mr. Sophia grabbed my arm and whispered in his ear.

――――

Her sweet exhalation tickling her ears was strangely comforting.
