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, Qianzhu.”

 At this time Mika also spoke.

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

"Why!?"

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 picture looks very familiar.

Looking at Inoue Takina who couldn't help but retreat under the pressure of Qian Shu, 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 Euphelia, all follow this tune. One is lively and extroverted, the other is silent and introverted.

 So now this is another mindless and unhappy couple?

 Why do I always encounter people like this around me? Can't escape even if I change into a clone? Is this some sort 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 unspeakable, 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 the Licoris was killed. capture, and then the other party takes him as a hostage and demands the surrender of others.

Due to on-site communication interference at the time, it was impossible to obtain orders from the headquarters, 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 Inoue Takina's face, they were hit by the captain at the time.

From Duanmu Huai's point of view, this is considered a very normal decision. After all, even Licoris is an underage girl, but in the final analysis it is an organization similar to an army, and the importance of obeying orders is undoubted. 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, so he picked up the phone and dialed back. He didn’t know who he had a quarrel with, and then scratched the phone.

 “What an idiot! What do you think, little 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, someone like Inoue Takina would not be punished for her behavior, and she might even end up in a military court. Just like 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 is still as steel-hearted as ever...”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's speechless rhetorical question, Qian Shu didn't seem surprised. She just said one sentence, then raised her hand happily and changed the subject.

 “Then go to work quickly, Takina!”

 “Ah, it’s……”

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

 “Still the same as before, wind, wind and fire.”

Looking at Qian Shu’s leaving figure, 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. In 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?”

 “One 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 with many warlords. What are you going to do with a thousand guns? Can you rebel?

"I'm afraid it's difficult for the DA alone to deal with this level of trouble. I heard from Qian Shu that you've been very busy recently, so if possible, can you ask the Tribunal to help? After all, you have some powerful power that we can't understand..."       "Okay Well, 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 Inquisitor, it is still within the scope of his responsibilities - provided that the other party really intends to carry out a terrorist attack.

  In any case, it’s just to have more summons monitor around, and it won’t take much effort.

 For Inoue Takina, this is also a novel experience.

 For her, DA's job is mainly to patrol and solve incidents, but what Qian Shu does is completely different. It's more like shopping than patrolling. And working in a foreign language classroom to help deal with some troublesome problems... To be honest, I feel more like a volunteer to Inoue Takina than Licoris who protects social security.

In addition, there is another thing that puzzles Inoue Takina.

 “Who is that lady?”

 “Hmm? Who are you talking about?”

Walking next to Inoue Takina, Qian Shu turned his head to look at Takina curiously when he heard her question.

“That’s the girl in the coffee shop, wrapped in a cloak. Isn’t she Licoris?”

"Ah, you are talking about Xiao Ai... Well, she is indeed not Licoris, she is a judge from the Tribunal - at least that is how I introduced her."

 “I’ve never heard of an organization like this before.”

“I haven’t heard of it before, but in fact, like our DA, there are many organizations secretly guarding world peace. It seems that the world is really big...”

 At this point, Qian Shu raised her head, looked at the distant sky with a complicated expression, and sighed silently.

AAA, Tribunal, Magical Girls... To be honest, Qian Shu never thought that this kind of organization would actually exist in reality and not just a fictional fragment in a DVD movie.

"I also heard from the store manager that the other party is here to cooperate with our DA. In other words, is there any incident that needs to be handled? This is also my job!"

Hearing this, Takina suddenly became excited. Seeing her appearance, Qian Shu waved her hands hurriedly.

“Don’t rush, don’t rush, 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...”

Facing Inoue Takina's firm answer, Qian Shu scratched her cheek in silence.

"It's just a bit weird...well, I'll ask other people."

“Yes, please do so, Senior Qian Shu!”

"Why………"

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

 I always feel like I am asking for trouble.

“…Anyway, that’s it. Can Takina join our investigation team?”

 After finishing his work, Qian Shu went home from get off work, came to Duanmuhuai’s house, and explained the whole situation.

 “Does she know what we’re going to do?”

"I haven't said it yet. After all, magical girls and other things are too surreal, and Takina is a child who accepts death very seriously. I'm afraid she won't be able to think about it."

 “Ah, I have had this experience too.”

At this time, An, who was enjoying the coffee brewed by Qianzhu, also nodded, with a sympathetic expression on his face.

“I also have a friend who has such a personality, introverted and serious, and always gets into trouble in some inexplicable places.”

"But this serious side is also very cute. It feels like a puppy, completely trusting you. The honest and serious side is very cute, like now. She seems to be very eager to prove herself so that she can go back as soon as possible. DA, so she takes the initiative to join the mission. To be honest, I don’t think it’s good at all, but she seems to be very insistent.”

"Ah, I understand, I understand, it's that feeling, and the tail will flick when the mood changes. Even if I can't show it, I can still see my mood from the tail. It's obviously been exposed, but I still feel It’s not exposed, and that side is very cute.”

 “Huh? Tail?”

"Aha………"

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

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

  And even the preferences are similar.

 “I also want to meet the girl named Takina.”

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

 “I’m going, I’m going, I’m going!”

　　　…………”

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

 Have you forgotten your serious work?
