Episode 228 Alienation (2)
After that, the news of the masked person continued day after day.
The masked man snooping here and there in a drunken state openly revealed his longing for the outside world and encouraged people little by little.
Appeal for injustice and scold absurdity.
He acted as if he was on the side of justice, so he was never criticized even when people focused on him.
Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Sanha belatedly took action.
As a countermeasure, people from under the umbrella were dispatched to catch the unidentified masked man, but they are so quick-witted that they run away at once if they are caught.
It was a long way off to catch him.
After a few days of poking around the village, voices of protest began to leak out.
“Come to think of it… why do we have to be locked up here?”
“After all, we are the children of God!”
“Isn’t it more efficient to go out and protect than to protect inside?”
“Damn the lineage of heroes! Shall we go outside by ourselves?”
“Shh! If you say that, I won’t stay still under Sanha.”
There were many stories floating around and hushed up, but their hearts gradually began to lean toward the outside.
As the number of such people increased and Sanha’s restraints did not work properly, news about the masked person was cut off.
As if someone had intended it.

Takes off the black mask and throws it to one side of the bush.
“Huh, I can’t use it because it’s stuffy.”
Because it is made of woven fabrics, it is not ventilated at all.
In the meantime, Ray has played a masked person and planted the fantasy of the world beyond the sea to them.
Of course, it would have been impossible to elicit such a response if he had been making noise without any preparation.
The breakthrough he came up with was ‘politics’, which he hated extremely when he lived in modern times.
By approaching the current migration issue politically, members indirectly hit Sanha.
Originally, a revolution begins with someone’s alienation (?).
If you scratch the itch a little bit, they will try to scratch themselves without scratching later.
As it gradually grows, sovereignty to assert its own rights is established.
The thing that can approach people of today without hesitation is just cause.
Justification that I don’t have to be stuck here.
There is no problem with that unless the goddess Frias ordered to ‘stay stuck here.’
Therefore, it can be seen that the justification has been established.
If there is a desire and a possibility, the human’s ability to act increases in proportion to it.
The desire to go outside.
possibility that it will come true.
Now that both of them are high, the masked person will probably move on its own even if it doesn’t appear anymore.
Now that the chapter had passed, he too had to act differently.
It was because the masked man would not hand over everything well.
He wrote down the direction Sanha would move at this point on the ground as if scribbling.
“If they thought of an easy way, they would try to subdue them with force. That would be more counterproductive. Or are you trying to ask for a conversation under the umbrella? Or you can go looking for me.”
Hael already knows about himself.
So, you probably already know that the masked person is you.
However, I have already thought of a countermeasure for it.
All that remains is to wait for people to stand up.

“That kid finally got his nose job.”
Hael sighed, clutching his forehead.
I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking.
What do you want to do, jump into this crazy sea with your own feet and take everyone out?
Knowing the full story of the incident, she had no choice but to report it to her subordinates.
After convening a meeting and presenting the agenda, I could see frowns here and there.
“To say you came from outside… are you saying that I should believe that now?”
“No one can cross this sea. No, if it’s the chieftain, I don’t know.”
At their words, Hael shook his head.
“I don’t know either. What the hell happened… You may find it hard to believe, but that’s all I know.”
“According to Elder Hael’s words, the masked person will be that child.”
“…I don’t understand why they came to this island.”
“I mean, I don’t know that either. To put it simply, it seems that the existence of a hero’s lineage is necessary…” “
First of all, let’s be careful not to let this matter go to the chieftain. He has great affection for the island…”
The elders nodded in a hush atmosphere.
“Since the story is not progressing, it would be quicker to call the person concerned. Let’s start with that child. Can I leave that to Elder Hael?”
You take care of the poo that pops out.
As if the elders were looking at her with those eyes, she could not refuse.
“Let’s do that.”

Ray was hanging out at Hael’s house.
Because I had to face her soon anyway.
Seeing him lying in a comfortable position with his legs crossed, Hael frowned as soon as he opened the door.
“Does it look very comfortable?”
“Oh, are you here? If you are lying down, your fatigue should be relieved.”
He speaks with a yawn, but he has a knack for scratching people’s stomachs.
“I feel tired because of you. Don’t speak directly. The masked man is you, right?”
“that’s right. Would you like to try it?”
I take out a piece of black cloth that looks sultry from my pocket, but for some reason it seems to smell foul.
“Don’t be shy. What do you mean more than that?”
“You mean?”
“You mean wearing a mask and telling people about the outside world.”
“Ah, I just said my thoughts, but are you doing this with that?”
Certainly, it doesn’t matter if you’re just expressing your thoughts.
However, if it moved people’s hearts, the story is different.
“Isn’t that quite intentional! Do you really have to cross that crazy sea to convey your thoughts at this time?”
“Wherever I am, it is my heart.”
be compelled to arbitrarily
I was fed up with that attitude, which was so different from the first one.
“It’s like a snail. An order has been issued from Sanha to bring you. Of course, that’s up to you, but if you don’t comply, I can’t guarantee you any more safety.”
Ray nodded at her sincere words.
It was expected.
Because no one wants to go back to the hard road by leaving the easy road behind.
‘I thought it would take a few more days before I could meet with the leadership. It seems that the system is better than I thought?’
He slowly raises his stretched body and speaks.
“Then just give me until tomorrow.”
“If I ask why, won’t you answer me?”
“Incredible. I read your thoughts.”
“I can’t guess what the hell was going on in your head.”
“I can’t understand sometimes either.”
I sighed and left Hael’s house.
I wonder where the light face that was laughing and spouting jokes went, but the expression on his back from Hael was serious.
He started making final preparations.
* * *
Tuk-tuk-
Beggar-like and kick the three figures lying in the bush with their toes.
“…Who dares to kick the saintess!”
As Iriel spit out the words, the answer came back.
“It is a saint.”
“Oh Ray!”
“Quiet. If you get caught, it’s over.”
While talking, I walk through the dark places in the forest that I have learned before.
“Follow me. Now is the time to need you.”
“It’s too much! I’ve been neglecting it until now! this devil! stupid saint! A mighty monster!”
I thought about going back after taking care of Iriel for a while, but I shook my head and brushed off my thoughts.
Time is running out for that.
After walking for some time, Ray reached a gloomy, dark marsh and pulled a black mask from his pocket.
He holds it out to Soyoung and says.
“Write this on your face.”
“yes?”
Soyoung asked in confusion.
I felt repulsive when I put a piece of cloth on my face that looked like it would be more suitable to use as a rag than to use it on my face.
As a final defiance, I put on a calm face as if I didn’t understand, but it didn’t work.
“It is an order.”
“Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
She, who had been spitting like a demon under a sacred ban, picked up the mask.
It feels like your hands will rot in an instant.
For some reason, it’s disgusting to even feel the sloppy texture.
When he carefully put it on his face, a great masked man was born.
“Ugh…
.”
When Heuk-young couldn’t hold back his laughter at So-young’s ugly appearance, Ray nodded.
“This is yours.”
“…my lord.”
“It’s yours.”
“… I take orders.”
Strangely, it is in worse condition than Soyoung’s.
“I dropped it once in a wetland to come unnoticed, so you’d better wash your face after using it.”
“…”
Dark Young made a sullen expression.
Ray told everyone what to do.
“So-Young and Heuk-Young put on their masks and go around screaming when dawn comes. They say that they like the outside world and that they didn’t want to be born in a place like this.”
“…I’m sorry, but for some reason…”
“It is necessary to look ahead in order to know the gentleman’s will. Over time, you will find out.”
He has no hesitation in calling himself a gentleman.
There was no doubt that he had sold even the little remaining conscience to the taffy seller.
The receptionists who received the order bowed their heads and folded their knees.
“Soyoung has definitely received orders.”
“I accept the order of the Holy Son.”
As the two talked and melted into the darkness wearing ridiculous masks, Ray said to Iriel.
“You follow me. Be careful not to get caught.”
“Somehow it feels like I’m going to take on a more dangerous job.”
“Iriel is, of course, dangerous. Oh don’t be so glaring at me Even so, I made a hiding place with my own hands.”
Carefully guide the way and gradually enter the depths.
Then there was a crudely built wooden house.
The hideout, where one person could barely lie down, could not be said to have been carefully built even with empty words.
It would be more accurate to say that it was just a few planks added.
When Iriel looked at him with eyes asking him to make an excuse, he shrugged.
“It’s not a little small. See that big tree house over there?”
“It’s a big tree house. Unlike this tree house.”
“Don’t complain, just lie here and wait and treat me when I give you a signal.”
“Phi. What could hurt the Holy Son?”
“Be prepared. My life is precious.”
“all right. It will be worth watching if you lie down and fall asleep.”
“Would you like me to cast a spell on you so you don’t fall asleep?”
“I will decline.”
He put Iriel in a hideout he built himself and cast a spell around him.
“Silent.”
After making various preparations, Ray hurried down the mountain.
There is a mountain of work to do in the middle of the night.
‘From now on, it’s time for the people here to move, not me.’
His new model fell off the mountain.
