"Hey, is it a wife? Well, it's me. It's been a while since the last meeting. I haven't contacted you because I've been a little busy recently. Have you gotten your headache? Do you still remember the person I mentioned last time? Well... Because I have had an intersection with my fellow guests from the Desert District recently, the other party seems to have the intention to visit the Presidential Palace. If possible, I will also go there together as a companion... Do you agree? OK, I understand, so the time will be set at noon tomorrow. Yes, no problem, thank you."

After pressing the end of the communication button, the conversation between Lanther and the President's wife was over.

It seemed that everything went very smoothly. Baichuan and the others had already obtained the ticket for admission, and the other party readily agreed to the "small request" made by Lanther.

"Hehe... It seems that you have not been in vain in the past four years, and your tone of speaking is much smoother."

"…The so-called [growth] is probably the case."

"I've passed my growth stage in my twenties!"

"But don't your hair still grow that long?"

"Ah haha, this is even more talkable than in the past!"

The two people who talked a lot were Lanser and Yi Chen on the other.

Since the last time I was in that small bar, this time it was a real meeting.

The golden pure beer was filled with smothering and sprinkling with snowflakes, but in fact, whether it was eaten or drunk, it was just the standard of the common people. Yi Chen still knew Lanther quite well, and the extravagant banquet would make him hate it.

After Baichuan's suggestion, Lanser quickly received an invitation to meet.

Then in the Yi family, we met with comrades and friends in the X Consortium.

Yi Chen, Lanser, and Bai Chuan.

The banquet was considered a meeting. Because I didn’t want to be too luxurious, it was not held in the magnificent hall of the Yi family. Yi Chen chose his own Kaishi Group to be stationed within the Yi family’s land, as the evening party held intermittently within the Kaishi Group in the desert area.

Alcohol, meat, salad, and three things welcomed both sides who had been missing for a long time.

(It's so boring, these two people...)

Bai Chuan held the half-drinking wine glass, held his chin with his other hand and listened to the two of them chatting.

Women can never understand the romance of big gun cannonism.

"--So,"

Yi Chen said with a smile, and I don’t know if the blush on my face was due to alcohol or the high interest.

"Lanther, what do you think of my troops?"

Just as a child could show toys, Yi Chen recommended Lanther's proud Armored Team.

"Well... they are all very powerful people. I felt it from the beginning..."

The provocative murderous aura keeps provoking the nerves like acupuncture.

(Is that person? The head of [Steel Griffin]...)

(I heard that I was a boss friend in the past.)

(…It looks amazing.)

The fighting dog will be restricted by the owner to prevent madness from hurting people, but the threatening roar cannot stop.

"Sorry, the people in Mo District are all like this."

"It's okay, I'm not the kind of powder keg person either."

Yi Chen's smiling eyes were like the fox: "By the way, Lanther, there is one thing... Should I consider it?"

"What?"

"My [Revenge Fang] now has many positions. As the leader of the regiment, I, everyone in the attack team, everyone in the fire support team, etc... But I still lack a deputy regiment commander, are you interested?"

“…!”

Lanther's fingers holding the knife froze.

——So that's it, is that what it means?

"You have enough ability to be the candidate for the Legion Commander. Although I am not talking bad about the consortium - but that place can no longer limit you."

"No...sorry, I don't have that kind of idea."

Lanther said:

"In fact... I plan to retire after everything is over."

"Hmph, this is the standard speech for married men?"

Yi Chen smiled and said that he already knew about Lanther and Letty's marriage, and of course he had expected that his invitation would be rejected.

This is just a statement with a try idea.

"Your words—"

What Lanther wanted to ask is, if it were Yi Chen, what would he plan after all this was over?

But it was interrupted by Kashirokawa, who could not bear it.

Dong!

She drank the remaining beer in one breath and smashed the wine glass on the table.

"I said, you two have almost discussed the matter. Those who will go to the Presidential Palace tomorrow will follow me, including me!"

"——including me, the reception was almost the same. Will you not discuss any tactics or something next?"

The other person who interrupted was Winim, who had just arrived at the banquet. He seemed to have just finished his research work. He ran over to drink beer now.

She sat uninvitedly across from Baichuan and looked at Lanser.

“…Is there something on my face?”

"There is nothing, I just think you are more handsome than I expected. Boys will keep staring at very beautiful girls, and the same is true!"

“…”

Lanther had no choice but to do with such a woman, and the boys were teased.

"I'm already married."

He said calmly.

It caused Wenim's laughter: "Ah haha! This is the so-called male version of the thorny rose? Boss, your friend surprised me to like it!"

"Uh..."

This adjective is really... Lanther didn't know what to say to respond.

He looked at Yi Chen and Bai Chuan.

As a result, both of them covered their mouths, and Yi Chen's shoulders were still trembling because they could not control them.

(Rose...)

(Ranther is...a thorny rose...!)
