After the occupation of Crossbell, he continued working as a member of the resistance, but two months earlier, he was confined to the Mishelam district as a result of Governor-General Rufus’ schemes.
However, thanks to Rean and the others, as well as the activities of the II Branch School, Lloyd was able to successfully escape.
Yelling in silence to Rean and the others, who were leaving Crossbell, Lloyd once again set off with his comrades to bring independence to Crossbell.

She has cultivated culture and political senses studying abroad in various nations since she was young, and uses that vast knowledge and excellent negotiation senses to support the activities of the Special Support Section.
After the occupation of Crossbell, she searched for a way to free Crossbell from a political and economic point of view, such as attempting to contact the Empire’s leading figures and Reinford Group chief Alisa, and kept up her own individual activities.
In order to find the cause of the disaster that occurred in the Empire, as well as achieve her goal of freeing the Crossbell that lies before her, she and Lloyd appear on the scene to make moves.

Crossbell Police Department Special Support Section
A section established by the old Crossbell Police Department in a bid for popularity among citizens and as a countermeasure against the Bracer Guild.
At first, it was ridiculed as a “Bracer imitation,” “odd job workers,” and the like, but the section eventually earned the approval of many through the steady activities and numerous difficult case resolutions of its members, including investigator Lloyd Bannings.
Accompanying the occupation of Crossbell by the Empire, the Crossbell Police Department became the Empire’s Crossbell Military Police, and in the process the Special Support Section was dissolved.
Due to the schemes of Governor-General Rufus—such as resistance that slipped past the Imperial army, the forced transfer to the Imperial military academy, and the supervised duties while there—each member of the section fell into a situation where they had no choice but to scatter.
