Chapter 1193: Deja Vu (The Weather Is Getting Hotter Now)

"Yo."

Seeing Qian Shu come back, Duanmu Huai also said hello to her, and Qian Shu also waved his hand with a smile, and then looked at the black-haired girl next to him. Then he looked at her curiously and said hello.

"Eh? Lycoris?"

"That's right, Qian Zhu."

At this time Mika also spoke.

"This is the Licoris I mentioned before. From today on, you two will be partners. You must get along well."

"Why!?"

Upon hearing Mika's words, Qian Shu suddenly showed a happy expression like a puppy finding a new toy, and then rushed directly in front of the black-haired girl and held her hand.

"Please give me some advice, partner, my name is Qian Shu!"

"Ah, yes, my name is Inoue Takina..."

"Takina!? This is our first time meeting!"

"Ah, yes, I was transferred from Kyoto last year..."

This scene looks very familiar.

Looking at Inoue Takina who couldn't help but retreat under Qian Shu's pressing step by step, Duanmu Huai curled his lips. He always felt like he had seen a similar scene somewhere - oh... that's right.

Ann and Gulea, Agnesphia and Euphilia all followed this tune. One is lively and extroverted, the other is silent and introverted.

So now it's another couple who are mindless and unhappy?

Why do I always encounter people like this around me? Can't escape even if I change into a clone? Is this some kind of curse?

"By the way, what's wrong with your face?"

At this moment, Qian Shu also noticed that there was tape on Inoue Takina's face.

"Is your reputation injured?"

"No, this..."

Although Inoue Takina's expression was a bit difficult to explain, she still answered Qian Shu's questions obediently - to put it simply, during the previous raid on the arms deal by the Licoris, one of them Captured, the other party then takes them hostage and demands the surrender of the others.

Due to on-site communication interference at the time, orders from the headquarters could not be obtained, so Takina Inoue made an astonishing move - she directly picked up the machine gun and killed all the arms dealers on the opposite side.

Although it is true that the companions were saved in the end, because Inoue Takina killed all the enemies, no one was caught alive, and the guns and ammunition mentioned in the intelligence were not found at the scene. In addition, Everyone has been killed and cannot be interrogated. So the DA headquarters assigned him to this branch on the grounds of disobedience.

As for the injuries on Takina Inoue's face, they were hit by the captain at the time.

In Duanmu Huai's view, this was considered a very normal decision. After all, even though Licoris was an underage girl, in the final analysis it was an organization similar to an army, and there was no doubt about the importance of obeying orders. Inoue Takina took action on her own in order to save her comrades, and she will definitely be punished.

But Qian Shu obviously didn't see it that way. He picked up the phone and dialed back. He had an argument with someone and then scratched the phone.

"What an idiot! What do you think, Xiao Ai?"

"You ask me? Are you serious? What makes you think I would agree with you?"

Hearing Qian Shu angrily asking him to be his teammate, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes decisively. If placed in the Inquisition or the Empire, a person like Inoue Takina would probably be subject to a military court for his behavior, not to mention being punished. Just like what Duanmu Huai said to those magical girls before, war is to achieve the goal and prevent the enemy from achieving the goal.

If Inoue Takina completes the mission while rescuing her companions, then naturally nothing can be said. However, if her mission failed in order to rescue her companions, then...it would be her own problem.

"Oh, Xiao Ai still has the same steel heart as before..."

Qian Shu didn't seem surprised when she heard Duanmu Huai's speechless question. She just said one sentence and then happily raised her hand to change the subject.

"Then go to work quickly, Takina!"

"Ah, yes..."

After changing clothes, Qian Shu took Takina out and the whole cafe became silent again.

"It's still the same, wind, wind and fire."

Watching Qian Shu leave, Mika smiled bitterly, and then looked at Duanmu Huai, who was still sitting at the bar drinking coffee and tea.

"So, Miss Inquisitor, do you have time?"

"What's up?"

"I think you have heard what Takina said. This incident... the DA hopes to get help from the Tribunal."

"Oh? What's the reason?"

"Because this case is difficult, do you know the number of guns to be traded?"

"I don't know, how many are there?"

"A thousand."

"…………………How many?"

I have to say, this really shocked Duanmu Huai. When he first heard Takina Inoue talk about this case, he thought that the so-called gun transaction was just a few guns or dozens of guns, but it turned out that they were all involved. A thousand?

This is not an African continent full of warlords. What are you going to do with a thousand guns? Can't rebel?

"The DA alone may not be able to deal with this level of trouble. I heard from Qian Shu that you have been very busy recently, so if possible, can you ask the Tribunal to help? After all, you have some powerful powers that we cannot understand..."

"Okay, if I have time, that's no problem."

In any case, a thousand guns are too many. If they were really circulated in this city, then who would do such a thing and raise a team--should they really plan to carry out an attack or rebellion?

Although this is not the task of the judge, it is also within the scope of his duties - the premise is that if the other party really intends to carry out a terrorist attack.

Anyway, it's just to let more summons monitor everywhere, which won't take much effort.

For Inoue Takina, this is also a novel experience.

For her, the work of DA is mainly patrolling and solving incidents, but what Chizuki does is completely different. It's more like shopping than patrolling. There is also working in a foreign language classroom and helping to deal with some troubles... To be honest, it feels more like a volunteer to Inoue Takina, rather than a Licorice who protects social order.

In addition, there is another thing that makes Inoue Takina very confused.

"Who is that lady?"

"Huh? Who are you talking about?"

Walking beside Inoue Takina, Chizuki turned her head curiously and looked at Takina when she heard her question.

"That girl in the coffee shop, wrapped in a cloak, isn't she Lycorris?"

"Ah, you mean Xiao Ai... Well, she is indeed not Lycorris, she is a judge from the Tribunal - at least that's how she introduced herself."

"I've never heard of such an organization before."

"I haven't heard of it before, but in fact, there are many organizations like our DA that secretly protect world peace. It seems that this world is really big..."

Speaking of this, Qianzhu raised his head, looked at the sky in the distance with a complicated expression, and sighed silently.

AAA, Tribunal, magical girl... To be honest, Qianzhu didn't expect that such an organization would actually exist in reality, not just a fictional clip in a DVD movie.

"I also heard from the store manager that the other party came to cooperate with our DA, which means that there is an incident that needs to be handled? This is also my job!"

Hearing this, Takina suddenly became excited. Looking at her like this, Qianzhu hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't worry, don't worry. It's true that we are currently conducting a joint investigation, but..."

"If it's about strength, I'm confident!"

"It's not a matter of strength..."

Faced with Inoue Takina's firm answer, Qiantsu scratched his cheek speechlessly.

"It's just that this is a bit unbelievable... Well, I'll ask others."

"Yes, please, Senior Qiantsu!"

"Ah..."

Looking at the energetic Takina, Qiantsu scratched his head with a headache.

I always feel that I seem to be asking for trouble.

"…Anyway, this is it, can Takina also join our investigation team?"

After completing the work, Qiantsu went home after get off work, came to Duanmu Huai's house, and then explained the whole situation.

"Does she know what we are going to do?"

"I haven't told you yet. After all, magical girls are too surreal. And Takina is a very stubborn child. I'm afraid she will get upset."

"Ah, I have had such an experience."

At this time, An, who was enjoying the coffee made by Qianzhu, also nodded, with an expression of deep sympathy on his face.

"I also have a friend with this personality, introverted and serious, always getting stuck in some inexplicable things."

"But this serious side is also very cute, it feels like a puppy, completely trusting you. Being honest and serious is very cute, like now, she seems to be very eager to prove herself so that she can return to DA as soon as possible, so she is very proactive in wanting to join the mission. To be honest, I don't think there is anything good about this, but she seems to be very persistent."

"Ah, I know, I know, it's that feeling, and when the mood changes, the tail will swing back and forth. Even if the person can't show it, the mood can be seen from the tail. Obviously, it has been exposed, but the person still feels that it has not been exposed. That side is also very cute."

"Hey? Tail?"

"Haaah............"

While drinking coffee and looking at An and Qianshu, Duanmu Huai sighed silently.

These two people are really typical of birds of a feather flock together.

And even their hobbies are very similar.

"I also want to meet that girl named Takina."

"No problem, she has already started working in the coffee shop. How about you come to the coffee shop with Xiao Ai tomorrow?"

"I'll go, I'll go, I'll go!"

"…………………………"

Looking at An who raised her hand happily, Duanmu Huai shook his head speechlessly.

Have you forgotten your proper job?
