EP.89 Officers of the military
The officer, frowning to the point of being rude, glared at the golem without even replying to his salute.
Missing the timing to lower his hand, the golem continued speaking while still maintaining a salute.
“I have heard the words of the lieutenant colonel. The main building served as the lieutenant colonel’s assistant until the lieutenant colonel left here…]
“Yes. Captain. I was late to come. Even more so than laborers.”
The sarcastic tone was sharp. The golem hesitated for a moment in his attitude that day, belatedly added his words.
“I will correct it. But here’s the circumstances.]
“Are you trying to make an excuse now?”
“…I will correct it.”
As the golem fell silent, the officer clicked his tongue and turned away. The officer said without even showing his face to the golem.
“I don’t care how many of your golems have been destroyed, Correspondent.”
It’s a lie. A lot of interest. Not as a concern, but as an accusation. He had an inner meaning of how he ate so many golems.
“Likewise, I won’t take issue with the fact that the golem’s condition is inferior to that of a can of canned beans.”
Let’s not be mistaken. it’s a big problem I was going to tell him to reconsider his attire before saluting, but he even ended it.
Then the officer turned around and solemnly put his hands on his back. Along with the chest beneath the uniform, two shining silver medals swayed.
The officer, full of pride and emphasizing the medal, raised his chin to the fullest.
“However, if your mission is to monitor and manage Tantalus, you should at least be faithful to it. However, the main officer who arrived in Tantalus yesterday did not hear your report at all. Until this moment when the laborer brought you.”
『…I will correct it.
』 Lack of ability or lack of will? I can’t express it all in words that discipline has become lax.”
My body was itching from the constant criticism.
hold back? Should I wait?
no i can’t stand it How can you leave this atmosphere alone?
“…Correction.”
Right before the golem finished speaking, I immediately leaned down and hugged the golem tightly and shouted.
“Don’t be too hard on Captain Abbey! What did my child do wrong!”
It’s obvious what officers do. It is an intention to save face while craving a poor subordinate.
About 10% of that.
Of course not.
Because it’s no fun if you do it the way you think it is.
“That’s right, actually, it’s all because of me! If only I hadn’t been mean and ripped Captain Abbey’s leg off! I wish I hadn’t taken the speaker off my mouth! Uh-huh, I’m sorry, Captain Abbey!”
『 Let go.』
are you okay. Do not cry. If you cry, Santa Claus won’t give you presents.”
[…]
After clearing the water, I raised the golem again. The golem hurriedly struggled, but I turned around and patted the back like a child to soothe it.
“Lieutenant Colonel Callis! You’re busy, but I’m sorry I made you give Golem a golem to catch some Gao! Look at the work!”
“…tsk.”
When there was no more blame, all the officer could do was click his tongue. He waved his hand before saying anything else.
“Then goodbye!”
Leaving the officer behind, I left the instructor’s office. The golem in my arms had stopped moving before I knew it.
Around the time I thought I might have disconnected.
“…It is not your responsibility. As the lieutenant colonel said, the reason there is only one machine left is because of my negligence.” A
weak voice came from the golem. I replied indifferently.
“It is too much though. No, he accidentally fell into the abyss and why didn’t he come back? It is so unfair.”
“Don’t worry. It’s familiar. If you became a signal soldier without taking any exams like the main building… If you become a 3rd level citizen like a cadet at the Higher Military Academy without effort or competition. That would be like an insult to the cadets.”
The person who graduated from elementary school was a 1st level citizen.
Level 2 citizen if you went to secondary military school.
Citizens who make up the majority of the militarized nation and form the foundation of the militarized nation.
However, the foundation basically means the things that are trampled underfoot, and they are oppressed, hit and rolled, and lay the soil of the army. Feeding on their blood and sweat, the military grows luxuriantly.
However, starting from level 3, it is completely different.
officers, technicians, scholars, plant managers, etc.
If you stand out in a certain field and become a talent that is extremely difficult to replace, the situation changes from then on. Access to facilities is expanded, income is increased, and some priorities are gained that lower level citizens do not have.
Officers who graduated from the Higher Military Academy were level 3 citizens from that moment on, and they took great pride in that fact.
To the point of contempt for a radio operator who was simply lucky to become a 3rd level citizen without any effort…
Lieutenant Colonel Callis.
I read other people’s thoughts. If you are still reading their thoughts, then you can hear the wind they have in their hearts.
A confident wish or a shallow belief that was planned out of confidence.
Those things come to me with a strange sense of resignation or in a state of exhilaration.
My main attitude there.
“Is Lieutenant Colonel Callis really like that?”
“Today is the first time I have met the main building in person. He is famous for being promoted to lieutenant colonel at a young age. In particular, after a three-day operation, the story of hunting animals in the Aok Valley and finding a resistance base and suppressing it single-handedly was passed on as breaking news among the signalmen
. Are you suspicious of something?”
To move the situation in a direction no one expected.
『If you are a person like Lieutenant Colonel who has accumulated merit on your own, it is natural that you are reluctant to be a signal soldier who works comfortably without any merit.』 “
No, I mean competent, Captain Ab. Why would someone so capable do something to lose?”
Officer Lieutenant Colonel Callis rebuked Captain Abbey. No, the words were scolded. Doing that from the first day is no different from saying that we should fight.
Whether Captain Abbey is obedient or rebellious. I wouldn’t even go near Lieutenant Colonel Callis who showed such an attitude.
“You came into the abyss by mistake and spoke rudely to the communications officer. It’s a mess. Is that the real face of the famous Lieutenant Colonel Callis?”
That’s what Lieutenant Colonel Callis is aiming for.
“As you can see, Captain Abbey, I embraced Sijo. Mr. Shay is an antisocial person who slices up golems whenever he sees them. Her only ally in Tantalus is Azi, an ally of all men. That is, there is none at all.”
Start.
Persuasion starts from the same place.
Armed with arms around each other, we both said things we knew and walked with our feet together.
“Then why did I behave coldly to Captain Abbey, the only one in Tantalos who is friendly to me, on my first day in office?”
slowly slowly.
So that it curves naturally enough that you don’t even notice.
Persuasion is to turn the direction of thinking in a completely different direction.
“Because you are not an ally to Colonel Callis, Captain Abbey!”
When I read the thoughts a while ago, I felt reluctant.
It is clear that the officer hates the signal soldier.
However, in this isolated abyss, the only means of contact with the outside world is the communication soldier, who is invaluable. You mean you don’t have the patience to put your mind aside for a moment and not show off your displeasure?
If I had been such an idiot, I wouldn’t have been given the rank of lieutenant colonel.
“What does that mean?”
“Simply put, Colonel! Which means there’s a reason to avoid Captain Abbey’s prying eyes! They want to be isolated again in this isolated abyss! Could it be that he is as much of a loner as I am?”
『What is that?』
“Ah really. You have a bad taste. understand everything Do I have to speak?”
In fact, you should have already figured it out. Communications soldiers are people who handle information, so they must have noticed something strange.
I can’t read the golem’s thoughts, but I’m sure my story worked.
The reason truth is valuable is simple. because of economic logic.
because it is unique
There are countless lies in the world, but only one truth.
That’s why the real truth always works. I related what I had read from Lieutenant Colonel Callis.
“You mean you’re plotting something dirty to avoid the eyes of the military!”
『Don’t tickle each other!』
Golem obligingly retorted.
『The main building is not affected by your alienation. You, a petty criminal, and the lieutenant colonel, an officer in the military! It is self-evident which of the two has more weight! The soldiers of any country are bound by blood and iron! Such unfounded slander… Unfounded…]
Every single thing could happen. something that can be ignored.
However, when I looked back, it was so suspicious that I couldn’t believe why I didn’t know.
usually don’t notice Someone’s intentions are invisible and there are too many things in the world to relate to.
But if you know the answer, everything that exists becomes the basis.
“But if it’s as you say. This goes beyond disobeying orders…]
Okay. It passed.
The signalman’s duty is to report. Even if you don’t believe me, you’ll at least report the content that raises your suspicions.
Then it’s over. All you have to do is wait until the military responds.
I am taking care of my own interests.
“…then. The fact that Lieutenant Colonel Callis scolded the main officer
was just acting…”
The golem glared at me obliquely. Then, after adjusting his attitude, he faced me directly and said.
『…I’m going to leave the head office. Please put this aircraft in a safe place.”
“Leave it to me.”
pick. The golem’s body sagged. This is because the synchro was released.
I placed the golem in a corner of the restaurant and sat down in a chair for a while to think.
I don’t know what they’re up to, but I have to show the elite officer the bitter taste of society. Wouldn’t it be so boring to live a life where everything goes as it should?
And that side is good for me.
What if the startled military government took an officer to determine the authenticity? You will definitely see it clearly then.
A way out of this abyss.
hmm. Once you’ve planted your doubts, Should I read the memories of officers in my spare time? At least if you know what you’re decorating, it’ll be easier to deal with.
I left the cafeteria again, turned the corner, and headed towards the instructor’s office.
Then, with the cherry blossoms raised to the top of his head, he encountered a regressor who was about to break the door of the instructor’s office.
