Wrong, my team members are from daily life

Lefiya, who was standing next to Kong Bai, cheered with admiration: "It's amazing. As expected, they are the family of Lady Livilia."

There was a gleam of longing in her eyes.

Arisa nodded in agreement: "As for Lefiya, you might be suitable to be an adventurer. With your talent, you might really be noticed by Loki's family."

"That's absolutely impossible. I'm still a long way from that. I haven't decided on becoming an adventurer or anything like that." Lefiya waved her hands hurriedly.

Yui patted the elf's butt and encouraged:

"Lefiya, it will definitely work. Just do whatever you want to do. Don't leave any regrets in your life! Besides, then we can go on adventures together!"

"Really? Don't slap my butt."

"whee."

The welcome ceremony is over.

All the "family recruitment officers" of the families boarded the ship one after another. In the future, they will serve as "guides" for the teams they favor as captains and instructors. At the same time, they will also give speeches or do family recruitment-related work.

So, they need to live in the school district for a period of time.

This is all for the special project that the school will hold every time it returns to Orario, the [Special Dungeon Internship].

That is, each team will personally enter the dungeon to kill monsters, increase combat experience, and experience the malice of the dungeon.

The dungeon is alive.

Kong Bai had heard Xia Jia say this many times, but the students in the school district didn't seem to take it too seriously.

They care more about what effects the ores and soil in the dungeon have and what the secrets of the dungeon are.

Of course, when Sora was overshadowed by Loki's clan, he tried to come up with a plan on how to bring down this arrogant clan.

But he was temporarily discouraged by the terrifying three level 3 combat forces.

Sora rubbed his head and said, "Ah, the difference in combat power is too great. This is really troublesome. There is no hope for us to rely on ourselves. We need to find help first..."

Lefiya overheard this from the sidelines, and thought with a look of shock:

"Is this person actually thinking about such a horrible thing? Moreover, that is the Loki clan, one of the two most powerful factions in the world. Is it just a troublesome thing to bring them down?"

The elf's heart was beating fast, and she seemed to realize that each of the friends and family she met on the road seemed to be extraordinary.

……

Sword city.

"Okay, so you can carry this device with you and install it in the 'school district' or in Orario." Makise Kurisu pushed two huge metal boxes and came in front of Xia Jia.

"Thanks, assistant."

After learning that Blank and the others had finally arrived in Orario, ending all the problems in the Sword City, Shaka was ready to set off for Orario.

After completing the final debugging of the [Space-Time Environment Device] and disassembly, Xia Jia can now take his "results" to the school district to redeem rewards.

That night, he packed his luggage, planned who would stay in the city and guard the goddess every day, and then prepared to set off the next day.

He suddenly remembered the Chamber of Commerce that Hermes had introduced to him before.

"At the time, they said that if you go to Orario, you can contact them."

Xia Jia searched the old room for a while and found the business card abandoned in the corner of the drawer.

The business card depicts a giant bird burning with flames.

"Phoenix Chamber of Commerce...hiss——"

Xia Jia's pupils shrank. No wonder he felt familiar with the emblem on the scimitar. It turned out to be here?

He did not think about the purpose of Hermes giving him this card.

"Do you want me to investigate? Or are you just doing it for fun? The results of the investigation I asked Lulune to do before haven't been sent back yet..."

"First of all, since Hermes knows about this Chamber of Commerce, it means that Lulune has actually investigated this Chamber of Commerce a long time ago, but just concealed it. Given the relationship between Hermes and Astraea, he should not do anything shady."

"According to Hermes's character, it should be just a minor prank."

That being the case...

Xia Jia's eyes flickered: "Does it mean I have to go and find out for myself?"

Guild branch.

There are countless mercenaries who post escort commissions here, so it is not difficult to find the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.

After waiting for a while in the reception room, a man with a mustache and a top hat pushed the door open.

He held a cane in his hand and tapped the ground, making rhythmic sounds.

In Xia Jia's impression, he is somewhat similar to an English gentleman.

"It's an honor to meet you. It's been a long time since I last heard your name, Captain Xia." The man took off his polite clothes and performed an elegant ceremony.

Xia Jia just stepped forward and shook hands gently.

"My name is Maize, you can just call me Old Maize."

Old Mai guided Xia Jia to sit down and stood beside the table. "By the way, what would you like to drink? This is a special wine from the Dionysus Family. It is made from grapes grown by the Demeter Family. It tastes pretty good."

"No, I don't drink, thank you." Xia Jia sat down and glanced at the wine glass in Lao Mai's hand with a look of disgust.

The goods of that god of wine are not drinkable.

"Well, I heard that Captain Xia also runs a liquor business. How can he not drink?" Old Mai was very enthusiastic.

Xia Jia raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes, and said with a hint of meaning:

"You seem to know a lot about my situation."

Old Mai's smile froze, and then he laughed cheerfully: "Hahaha, Captain Xia, you are too serious. Now in the entire Sword City, there is no one who doesn't know about the [Asteria Family] and Captain Xia's reputation."

"To be honest, I was flattered to hear that it was Captain Xia who personally took on the escort mission this time."

Xia Jia had no choice but to take out a bottle of Coke from his backpack and pour it into the goblet. He shook the bubbling black liquid and then drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking the happy water, Xia Jia smiled:

"Don't be nervous. If that's the case, then I think there shouldn't be any other problems with this commission. As for me, I need to transport some supplies to Orario, so..."

Old Mai agreed again and again: "Of course, that's no problem. Besides, we also have something we want to discuss with Captain Xia. We wonder if we can import some of the wine you're selling."

Shaka raised his eyebrows.

Good man, you want to get something for free, if I bring wine, wouldn't it be better for me to drag it to Orario and sell it myself? Do I need you?

But on second thought, merchants have always been profit-driven since ancient times. If you want to extract information from these unscrupulous businessmen, you may not be able to get anything useful from them if you don't feed them and become one of their own.

So, I nodded in agreement.

After agreeing to set off for Orario tomorrow, Shaka left the guild and returned to the base.

Not far outside the guild, a cloaked figure quietly poked his head out, looked at Xia Jia's back and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Don't blame me, Brother Xia, this is all the will of the Lord God."

Muttering, she rolled up a piece of paper in her hand and stuffed it into the foot of a pigeon.

After watching the carrier pigeon fly away with the information, the man lowered his cloak and blended into the alley.

Chapter 79 Shadow: Tears Behind Bars

Sakura City, Beika Town, Sakura Province, Japan.

Metropolitan Police Department Criminal Investigation Division 1.

With a gloomy look on her face, Kotoko Iwanaga pushed open the door of the Criminal Investigation Department's third office.

"excuse me."

"Oh, isn't this our sister Kotoko?" Inspector Megure sat upright in his office chair, holding a cup of tea and blowing gently.

"Hello." Kotoko lifted the hem of her skirt as a greeting.

For nearly a month, Iwanaga Kotoko has been shuttling between various strange crime scenes, and has already been labeled as "sister" by Inspector Megure, just like "brother Mori".

Although he is not as efficient as Brother Maori in investigating some normal cases, he is surprisingly good at some cases related to the "supernatural".

Megure Juzo recently heard that he had solved a parricide case in Hokkaido, and the criminal Ogiwara confessed to his crime.

Yes, Iwanaga Kotoko had already investigated and solved Ogiwara Sayu's case. Unfortunately, when she arrived, her parents had been devoured by the mysterious being, and the autopsy report showed that they had died a month ago. In the end, only her brother was saved.

In desperation, in order to protect the biggest suspect of the "murder escape" Ogihara Sayu, his brother was charged with murder and detained in a local mental hospital on the grounds of mental disorder.

The fact is that Brother Ogiwara has suffered a major shock and it may be difficult for him to handle company affairs.

Sayu Ogiwara inherited her brother's company and became the president...

And today...

"Are you here to take a statement, Sister Kotoko?" Inspector Megure picked up the teacup and blew into it, asking as a matter of course.

"I guess so." Iwanaga Kotoko sat down opposite Officer Megure and said helplessly, "Actually, there is still a small matter that I need Officer Megure's help with."

"Oh? What's the matter?" He took a sip of tea.

"Bail out one person. He's the one who recently beat up half of the Beika Town bikers in one go."

"Pfft, cough, cough, cough." Officer Megure choked and quickly took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe his mouth, and confirmed in surprise:

"Who are you talking about?"

Iwanaga Kotoko covered her face and said, "It seems to be called Kageno Minoru."

"The leader of the mysterious organization in his phone is you?" Officer Megure had a strange expression.

He recalled the process of arresting that person. More than a dozen policemen were knocked down, and it ended with gunshots in the end.

I originally thought he was an international spy, a retired special forces soldier or something like that, so all his personal belongings were confiscated.

Finally, the guy was in the cell, broke the handcuffs, pulled open the bars, snatched his phone, and was sending a rescue message to a mysterious organization.

Upon hearing the news, Inspector Megure thought he had caught a big fish, so he went with the flow and waited for his opponent to fall into his trap.

result……

Megure Jusan was suspicious: He looks like a junior high school student, and a disabled person at that, how could he be related to that kind of person?

Iwanaga Kotoko naturally didn't know the inside story, but when she heard the term "mysterious organization", she understood. She said with a serious expression but also with pity:

"I don't know... Inspector Megure, have you ever heard of a mental illness that only occurs during adolescence?"

"Are you referring to the puberty syndrome that has been widely reported recently?" Megure Jusan racked his brains to come up with an answer.

Iwanaga Kotoko shook her head: "No, I'm talking about Chuunibyou."

“Chuunib…”

Megure Jusan turned into a person with small eyes. The teacup in his hand fell on the table, and the tea splashed on the table without him wiping it.

Chuunibyou? Hiss, Chuunibyou?!

"How can it be a Chuunibyou?! How can a Chuunibyou knock down ten well-trained detectives by himself and bend the iron fence with his bare hands?! Are you kidding me?"

Inspector Megure dares to swear on his more than ten years of police career that he has never seen this level of chuunibyou, absolutely not!

Iwanaga Kotoko was also helpless and sighed, "That's the fact. I believe you have checked it out. He is a genuine high school student."

"Then how do you explain him bending the iron fence?"

Iwanaga Kotoko said seriously:

"This is the result of persistent training! As far as I know, there is a precedent of a high school taekwondo athlete breaking a load-bearing column with one kick."

"So..." Iwanaga Kotoko took a deep breath and forced herself to say something against her will:

"This is a very normal thing."

This is a normal thing...

This voice went around in Megure Jusan's mind for a while, and then he sat down with sudden realization:

"What? It turns out to be a normal thing. It's fine then. But, should we report this to the higher-ups and recruit new players from some famous sports schools in the future?"

With Iwanaga Kotoko's explanation, Shadow-sama's suspicion was successfully transformed from an international spy to a high school student brawl.

That group of bikers themselves were subordinates of a certain yakuza and were in a lawless situation. If there hadn't been so many people who called the police, hundreds of them, they wouldn't have deliberately arrested any messenger of justice through surveillance.
