I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Cheng Rang took out his phone and checked the time: "It's getting late, they should be back by now."

"Don't rush to find those guys~ Spend more time with this old friend of mine, and you didn't tell me the story you promised!"

Pushing away the chair and getting up, Cheng Rang looked at Alekira who had just pulled herself out of the wall, and smiled: "Next time."

"The story about what was done, in summary, is probably——"

Alikira's flying figure followed Cheng Rang who disappeared on the spot, and hit the chessboard hard. The sound of the chess pieces falling to the ground was particularly noisy.

However, Fimto still heard clearly his last words before leaving.

Ignoring Alekira who was sitting on the ground noisily, Fimto crossed his legs, with a dull expression on his face and didn't know what he was thinking, while he repeated silently.

"Did you defeat the [strongest] from another world...?"

"Darling!! Don't run!!"

"It sounds boring~"

The smile on Fimto's lips disappeared, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the Demon War Chess board was recovered again with the sound of mechanical operation.

Then let’s listen to this story next time.

"But Lord Sword God, I'm talking about interesting things. Even if you're not interested, it doesn't mean it won't happen -"

...

Location: A certain state in the United States - a classified research facility directly under the jurisdiction of the National Security Council.

Under the cloudless starry sky, the light of the searchlight illuminated the base bunker from high to low, making it look like daylight.

It extends downwards along the elevator shaft, which is made of reinforced concrete and can withstand direct missile bombardment.

——Until one kilometer underground.

A security guard on duty was conducting daily patrols, and the only sound echoed by the scraping of rubber boots on the smooth white corridor was.

Suddenly, there was a sound that seemed to be a leakage of electricity.

Hey...

It was particularly jarring in the quiet corridor.

"Um?"

The security personnel who sensed the abnormality immediately picked up the shotguns slung behind their backs and explored the corner of the corridor ahead step by step.

After passing the corner, there was not even a "door" on either side of the long straight corridor in front of him.

But a small black spot appeared on the white wall.

Buzz... buzz...

And the black spot is still expanding, looking like a... hand?

There is a hand like a clock gear embedded in the back of the hand, which is slowly "squeezed out" as if melting the wall.

what is that? !

"Report, C-43 in Building B, something abnormal happened!"

Monitoring room

After receiving the message conveyed by patrolling security personnel, respond immediately.

"Please report the details."

"..."

"Hello? Are you still there?"

But within just a few seconds, there was no response from the other side of the radio.

When the support troops rushed to the C-43 corridor, they found that there was nothing in the corridor except a huge hole.

Chapter 7 Surprise or shock

It was already late at night when everyone in Lebra came back from Morzo Guaca Restaurant while chatting and laughing.

Several transfer doors at the transfer station lit up, and people filed out of them.

"As expected, life has become much more convenient after Elaine joined us!"

"Hey, don't make me do this kind of thing, okay? Have you forgotten whose weapons and equipment saved your life during your last field mission?"

"Ah hahaha, that's right~"

"Thomas, you will be on duty tomorrow, go back and rest early." Klaus told the man who had just spoken to Elaine.

"Yes, boss, then everyone, I'll take the first step~ See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!" xN

Everyone said hello to each other and said goodbye at the Any Gate transfer station in Lebra, walked to different gates, and went to various parts of the city through the blue vortex, either going home to rest or returning to work.

Just when the Campbell sisters also wanted to leave, they were stopped by Stephen.

"By the way, Miss Isabella, please stay."

"Mr. Staffis, what's wrong?"

Stephen smiled gently: "Just call me by my name from now on, we are already colleagues."

Isabella, who had just joined Lebra, had not even realized the reality of this identity transformation. She was slightly stunned and nodded quickly: "Okay! Mr. Stephen!"

"Since you are already an official member of the staff, your information needs to be entered. Although it is very late... But I will report here early tomorrow morning -"

Stephen glanced at Elaine aside and said with meaning: "If it's because someone overslept and didn't get up, it wouldn't be good to shut such a cute girl out and wait around."

"It's not good for you to just say that person is me, Mr. Stephen." As expected, Elaine immediately made a voice of dissatisfaction.

"Hahaha, I didn't say that."

Ellerbella held her sister's hand and blinked: "So doesn't Isa have permission to enter here?"

Stephen immediately explained: "That kind of authority is different from that of formal personnel. According to Isabella's current classification, the authority of senior combatants seems to be a little higher than yours, Team Leader Campbell~"

"Hey~ I'm a little envious." Ellerbella rubbed her sister's head in a joking tone, "Unknowingly, you are already so powerful, Isa..."

Now that I have received Letitia's recognition, as my sister, I can rest assured.

"elder sister?"

Looking at the shining silver curse master badge on her sister's chest, Ellerbella's lips showed a happy smile, she let go of her hand and said, "Go, I'll go home and wait for you. "

My sister already has the power to protect herself and even protect others.

"Um!"

And following someone like Mr. Claus can make you feel at ease.

"My most important sister will be left to you!" Ellerbella waved to Klaus and walked towards the opened door.

"Do not worry!"

Following Klaus and Stephen from the other side to the association office, Gilbert in the room had obviously been waiting for a long time. He stood up from the chair with a smile: "Ms. Campbell, the information entry will be completed soon, and there are some important things to keep in mind. During the newcomer training, you need to choose a senior to follow. I didn't know you..."

"Can I choose anyone?" Isabella's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Well, it's like this. No matter who you follow, you can learn some things that you should pay attention to as a member of Lebra in this city."

"Then I'll leave this to you first, Gilbert." Stephen greeted the two of them, preparing to go back and process tomorrow's intelligence materials. After gathering from noon to evening, he unknowingly relaxed for too long.

I guess I have to work overtime until early in the morning...

Stephen, who was smiling bitterly in his heart but unable to express it to others, walked away with a slightly heavy step, and didn't pay much attention to the voice behind him.

After passing through the corridor, Stephen pushed open the main door of the association hall, slapped on the wall and turned on the chandelier switch. Bright, soft light suddenly filled the room.

When he came to the empty desk and looked at the stacked event books, Stephen felt a little headache, but he had to deal with it now.

"Sure enough, you are still too indulgent to those guys... We have to make them busy tomorrow - huh?"

This pile of event books seems to have been touched by someone.

Trespassing?

This idea was ruled out by Stephen at the first moment. Not to mention how strong Lebra's defense system is now. If he had the ability to get in, he would obviously not touch these useless things first.

If you want secrets, there are plenty of them in the archives.

With some doubts, Stephen opened the document and

Face, then his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

All unresolved incident files have been stamped [Resolved], and...

He took out his mobile phone and checked the mission reports in the archive records. They had all been filled in and the evidence of mission completion was uploaded.

"This...could it be said?"

Stephen, who had been stunned for a long time while holding the phone, finally chuckled, put down the file, leaned on the table, and said in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "That guy is back."

.....

"Eh? Senior Cheng! Are you back?! But...when?"

As soon as Leo opened the door, he heard the sound of a TV program coming from the living room. A familiar figure that he hadn't seen for a long time was lying on the sofa in loose pajamas and chewing snacks.

Looking away from the TV program, Cheng Rang raised his hand and said hello to Leo, who came home late at night: "Hey, welcome back, Leo."

"What the hell! You want me to welcome Senior Cheng back!" Leo seemed to be in a better mood when he saw Cheng Rang again, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.

"Oh, it turns out you also know that you want to welcome me back -"

But immediately, Cheng Rang's tone seemed to change, taking on a heavy resentment, which made Leo shiver with a chill all over.

"Eh...Cheng...Senior Cheng?"

"I came back at noon! As a result, there was no one at the association, and I couldn't get through the phone and couldn't find anyone. I came all the way back and could only stare at the empty room. I was so angry that I just put the table on the table. The pile of reports was all thrown away!"

Leo hid behind the back of the sofa but was unable to block the oncoming resentment. He trembled and asked, "Then...then what?"

"Then I can only count the guys in the report as unlucky. I then announced the return of their boss to the city in a very high-profile manner."

——Finally, I went to the bar to have a drink and felt extremely empty. After I went out, I caught the idle king Fimto and fought him for another 300 rounds.

"That's it...that's how it is..."

Leo was sweating coldly as he listened to Cheng Rang saying outrageous things in a relaxed and carefree manner, and he didn't even know what expression to use in reply.

"By the way, where did you go for the party... Well, let's not mention this. It's only been a month. What was the reason for the party? As for not leaving anyone behind?"

Leo quickly scratched his chin and stood up, "Ah, well...it was supposed to be a surprise for Senior Cheng——"

"Isabella has successfully joined Lebra."

"..."

"..."

Cheng Rang's expression seemed to be frozen. After the two of them stared at each other for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence:

"Ha-what did you say?"

Chapter 8 Explosive and congested morning rush hour

"Is this a shock, not a surprise? How could Fantou approve such an application?"

"Senior Cheng! I can't breathe anymore—"

Leo, who was being dragged by Cheng Rang's collar and dangling in the air, was thrown to the sofa and gasped in a post-apocalyptic tone: "Because it is said that Miss Isabella has passed Miss Leticia's graduation exam. , so you don’t have to worry about strength issues..."

"So he's not a civilian but a full-time member!"

"Wow!!"

Leo curled up on the sofa and shouted, but Cheng Rang obviously no longer focused on him.

Sitting down, Cheng Rang let out a long sigh.

"Hey - so a lot of things seem to have happened during my absence."

"Yes, that's right...probably."
