There is no need to elaborate on what a 'Love Hotel' is. It was fine in the lobby, but once they left the lobby, all the decorations were filled with ambiguous colors, and even the lighting was pink. This naturally enhanced the mood for people who came here to 'do business', but for Lancer and the others, it was simply awkward.
"Click~"
After locking the door, Lancer couldn't help but scratch his hair as he looked at the fidgety Fueguchi mother and daughter.
Judging from the two of them's reaction, they were at least not as resistant to his presence as before, but it was still difficult for ladies to share a room with a man, wasn't it?
Lancer, being a gentleman, naturally opened the window directly.
"I'll go out on patrol…"
As soon as Lancer finished speaking, he found his sleeve being tugged. Lancer turned around and saw Hinami Fueguchi, whose face was somewhat pale, looking at him nervously.
"Sigh~"
Lancer stroked the opponent's head and closed the window again.
Undoubtedly, Lancer, as a gentleman, did consider the awkwardness of being alone in a room with two ladies, but he failed to consider their psychological state in their current predicament.
"What would you like for dinner?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the room instantly froze. After all, what else could they eat as Ghouls?
However, Lancer had not forgotten this point. He took out a few strange cans.
"Although they haven't been mass-produced yet, I still have some ordinary food here that you can eat."
In fact, these foods were just ordinary food, but as supplies exchanged from the system store, they were not picky. They were still ordinary food for Ghouls, but it was precisely because they were ordinary food that Ryouko Fueguchi and Hinami Fueguchi ate very happily.
After all, even the most ordinary white rice was an unfamiliar delicacy to them.
The dinner lasted for more than half an hour, and the Fueguchi mother and daughter were still craving more by the end.
It must be said that food is a very magical existence. The originally nervous Fueguchi mother and daughter gradually calmed down after finishing dinner.
The three of them sat next to a large bed, incredibly silent, and Lancer stood up at the right time.
"I need to go to the CCG to scout for information first…"
Lancer did not finish his sentence, but the mother and daughter sitting by the bed also understood Lancer meaning. Although they were still a bit nervous, they also knew that if the matter was not resolved, they would have to keep hiding.
"Please be careful."
Ryouko Fueguchi instinctively walked forward to straighten Lancer collar, but then she seemed to realize something and quickly took two steps back, blushing.
"Come back early."
"I will come back early."
After smiling and crouching down to stroke Hinami Fueguchi's head, Lancer pushed open the window again and transformed into a raven, flying away from the 'Love Hotel'.

Lancer first stop after leaving the 'Love Hotel' was the nearby 20th Ward Branch. Unsurprisingly, neither Kureo Mado nor Koutarou Amon had returned, but what he didn't expect was that even the interior of the branch had begun discussing his 'betrayal', but strangely, based on their discussion, they didn't seem to know the specific situation?
It could be said that this matter was very strange.
Firstly, only Kishou Arima, Kureo Mado, Koutarou Amon, Seidou Takizawa, and Hideyoshi Nagachika knew about Lancer 'departure' besides Nimura Furuta's subordinates.
Undoubtedly, the latter five would not spread this matter indiscriminately, because Lancer existence would definitely be under a gag order, so the only explanation was one — Nimura Furuta.
Lancer did not know why the opponent would do this, but he knew one thing.
As long as the opponent died, whatever the opponent wanted to do would be aborted.
Lancer suddenly flapped his wings and flew directly towards the CCG headquarters, but he froze when he flew near the headquarters, because he found that the exterior of the headquarters was actually dilapidated?
He hurriedly accelerated. Although he was still being pursued by the CCG, he simply hated Nimura Furuta and those, including the General Chairman, who intended to make a move on him (as he perceived it). He still viewed the ordinary CCG Investigators who had fought alongside him as his comrades and colleagues. How could he not be worried when the CCG headquarters was attacked at this time?
However, when he flew outside the headquarters, he froze, because he saw an incredible scene.
Akira Mado, wearing a combat uniform, was commanding the Quinx Squad to clear the debris outside.
Although the opponent might not know his specific situation, since they had captured Koutarou Amon and Kureo Mado, there was no reason for them to let Akira Mado go, right? And judging by Akira Mado's expression, she didn't seem to be being forced.
'Could it be that Akira Mado doesn't know the situation of Kureo Mado and Koutarou Amon.'
Lancer carefully flew around Akira Mado and immediately figured out the specific situation.
Akira Mado should have become bait completely unknowingly. Although the Investigators working around her also seemed to be working, through Lancer careful observation, their gazes were unconsciously focused on Akira Mado. It was highly likely that they had already guessed that Lancer would come looking for Akira Mado, right?
No matter what, he had to contact her first. Although Akira Mado should be under surveillance, she should not be restricted in order to appear authentic. If he could change the situation from the enemy being in the dark while he was exposed to the enemy being exposed while he was in the dark, it might provide Lancer with a lot of help.

The Quinx Squad's strength was not bad, and they even had combat records of subjugating S-rated Ghouls, but considering their experience and the combat power the CCG invested in this operation, the Quinx Squad led by Akira Mado was not counted in the first combat sequence but belonged to the second combat sequence. They were responsible for protecting the eastern landing troops.
Later, after the communication on the island was isolated, Akira Mado was also a bit worried, but she still chose to believe in her father and Lancer. However, after the 'Rushima Island Operation' ended, she heard an incredible 'rumor'.
'Lancer betrayed the CCG'
Akira Mado was the first to not believe this matter, because she had already known Lancer full plan before this, but what made her uneasy was that neither Kureo Mado, Lancer, nor Koutarou Amon appeared after the operation ended. The only thing that made her breathe a sigh of relief was that the other Investigators who were in the first combat sequence did not return but gathered again.
Later, when the communication isolation was lifted, after hearing that the headquarters was attacked and the General Chairman and Director were killed, she finally knew why the strongest Investigators had gathered.
She was not clear about how the headquarters was retaken, as she did not participate, but at this time, she only hoped to hear news of her father and Lancer.
But just at this moment —
"Caw~"
A strange sound suddenly came from the air.
"It's truly annoying. There's a raven out now."
Ginshi Shirazu, who was moving stones on the side, couldn't help but complain, but Akira Mado froze, and then her eyes shifted.
"You continue cleaning. I'll be away for a moment."
After giving the Quinx Squad the order, Akira Mado walked directly towards the headquarters' first-floor restroom, and the people monitoring her also exchanged glances, and finally, two female Investigators followed…
