EP.195 A story from a distant place. It’s easy to mess with those left in the military,
but it’s hard to organize… It’s surprisingly just an illusion.
It takes a long time and steady effort to mess things up, but organizing is a moment. It’s just that it feels like that because it’s annoying, but it’s clear which is more superior in that a room that has been messed up for a long time can be cleaned after only half a day of cleaning.
The military was an efficient idler. Cleaning the room is postponed until you can postpone cleaning all the trash in the room at once.
It took a long time to prepare and resolve to die to cause such an uproar, but half a day was enough for the military to clear it up.
The military police led by Historia cleaned up the back alley quickly and simply, as if cleaning up a mess. Trash who did not know when to end the commotion was disposed of or arrested, and those involved in it were also taken to the military police and subjected to strict investigation.
Those involved were interrogated in a panic.
The way the military treats garbage is firewood. The human waste that was caught in that way is used as a resource to run the country called the military.
And when you organize your room, the things that you can use are usually thrown away.
Even innocent people were not relieved. They entered the military police, prepared to face all sorts of bad things.
And I was puzzled as I walked out with my limbs intact. Unexpected good fortune gradually turned bewilderment into joy.
Something to know about the truth. they are safe
I enjoyed my daily life, relieved by the fact that the things that were not thrown away remained.
“…Have you calculated this? Meticulous bastard.”
Historia muttered as she took out a magic pot cigarette from her cigarette pack.
piper man. Even in the case of Hameln, the taboo of the military, he is the most mysterious being. As long as he revealed his identity, revealing the truth of the commotion that occurred in the back alleys of the military was an afterthought.
Rather, information about the Pied Piper could be exposed while investigating the incident. If you ask ordinary citizens for information about Huey Hughes or the magician, you are revealing a clue in itself.
Therefore, the military government stopped investigating on the line of punishing the guilty. Instead, he devoted all his energy to tracking down the Pied Piper.
“no. From the beginning, that bastard must be entangled in the truth. If you catch him, you can hear everything.”
Historia, who was muttering with her long legs resting on the desk, put a cigarette in her mouth. Like a habit, he chewed on the end of his cigarette while bringing the ball point of his pistol to the tip of his cigarette. And he pulled the ball as far as he could.
Aww.
The balls collided and created a large spark. Historia, who took a deep breath while lighting a cigarette, closed her eyes for a moment before speaking.
“Communicator.”
『This is Captain Abbey, a signalman. Did you call?”
The golem next to Historia reacted. Historia exhaled the air she had inhaled as much as she could without looking at her. Pooh. A long sigh went up, coiling around with color.
Historia, who took time out of her busy schedule to enjoy a cigarette, asked blankly.
“Why did you stop guiding?”
“question. What matter are you talking about?”
“You know what you’re talking about. Why did you stop guiding right after I was engulfed in darkness?”
Abby, guessing that she was being questioned, answered with her arms folded behind her back.
“I will make amends for disobeying orders. However, when the signal corps, including the main building, judges. It was impossible to pursue further than that.]
Boom. Historia suddenly hit the desk. Her fist marks formed on the steel top.
Historia was still expressionless, but a gnashing sound came from her mouth, probably because she was smoking a cigarette.
“Why do you decide that?”
Despite Historia’s sullen expression, the golem was calm.
『Even with the exception of the two Kings of Beasts, the opponent includes two strong men of the sixth level. In contrast, the warden is unarmed. If you fight against it like this, you will suffer great losses.”
“I said it was okay.”
『The warden is one of the most powerful forces in the military. You can’t send that kind of force without any support.
”
『I will correct it.』
The golem bowed his head. Historia, who no longer wanted to blame, clicked her tongue and leaned her body against the back of the chair.
The reason why he didn’t blame the signalman any more was because, even in Historia’s opinion, it was impossible to pursue him on her own.
“Tsk. How did that bastard end up in Tantalus? He probably wouldn’t have been involved in the Pied Piper incident.”
『I was arrested for illegal gambling.
』
“denial. It is a form of labor.”
“It’s the same thing.”
『At that time, Tantalus was right after a large-scale escape by Colonel Lancart. It wasn’t as dangerous as expected.』
“Heng. Is risk important? It’s important that you’re in a position where you’ll never come up again.”
The embers flickered whenever Historia grumbled. The bright red light would go red and black, and he would breathe heavily.
Historia muttered after thinking while she finished burning a cigarette.
“I thought there was something suspicious. I’ll check the case log later.”
“Shall we prepare?”
“No. later. If Huey catches him, everything will be solved.”
To a smoker who gets pleasure from burning cigarettes, is a cigarette an object of hatred or an object of affection? For once, it is clear that cigarettes do not love smokers. After completing the length of service, he leaves her without saying goodbye, leaving only pure white smoke.
In no time at all, the cigarette burned out mercilessly. Since there was a short meeting, it’s time to wait for a long farewell.
Historia said as she smoked a cigarette in the ashtray.
“So what did the headquarters say?”
The smoky but non-breathing golem didn’t mind. The golem spoke without choking or holding its breath.
“I deliver. Accepting the warden’s plan, we decided to pursue the Pied Piper and 4 others.』
“Did you get permission? I am surprised.”
『Burning. The Pied Piper is a key figure holding Hameln’s secret, and he has a situation in which he was deeply involved in various incidents that took place in Tantalus, and the danger level rose sharply as he made friends with the founders and others. Also, this is similar to Lancart, a 5th level dangerous person, so the military authorities accelerate their arrest. This is the command’s judgment.”
The cigarettes were gone, but I heard good news. Historia smirked.
“It’s okay. Even so, it must have been daunting to search for it alone in this vast land. It will be a little better if there is control of the signalmen.”
A statement implying that if permission had not come down, he would have gone to visit himself even if he had left his seat. Abby pretended not to understand the remark. Instead, as always, only clear facts were delivered.
『After today, the main building will be away for verification. After this, communications soldier Yuel will assist the warden.]
“Are you away? why?”
“warning. This information is confidential. Do you want to read it with the general’s authority?]
Access to the order related to the signal soldier is restricted even if the other party is a general. If Historia had been an ordinary officer, she would never have heard back from the golem.
However, Historia was sex-growth. He was also a person who did not spare his authority.
“I’ll listen and see.”
“Request approved. Then I will explain.”
The golem straightened up and said.
『The main officer was the communications officer in charge of Tantalus. Immediately after the collapse of the abyss, we lost contact, returned on our own, and witnessed this incident while staying in Amittengrad.”
“Hmm.”
『However, in the process of returning, the possibility of contact with the Pied Piper was raised. The head office denied that fact, but in the case of the Pied Piper, his identity and abilities are unknown. Therefore, the head office will go to the headquarters to be investigated for mental contamination, and the treatment will be decided.” The Golem
was a golem who told the truth as if it was not my job, but Historia, who had heard that, shut her mouth. The treatment was decided after the horse was investigated, and it was clear that the future of this signal soldier would not be smooth as long as he was taken to the headquarters.
In the best case, it would serve as a relay station for orders issued by the headquarters, and in the worst case, it would simply be disposed of.
“That bastard’s ability isn’t like mind contamination. You can’t even hear what I’m saying.”
Historia, who knew a little bit about the truth of the signal soldier, sympathized with Abbey.
Officers despise signalmen. A subject that did not even come out of the military academy, but obtained the position of captain with a unique magic. At the same time, regardless of position, they were stiff, so they felt all sorts of unpleasant feelings when officers dealt with signal soldiers.
“You are suffering too. By taking on the hated role.”
However, the signal soldier is only a messenger after all. If we see them not as individuals but as voices or letters from the headquarters, such contempt is futile.
In the end, officers are no different from complaining about unwanted orders to the signalman.
Historia said with very, very little consideration.
“Did you say you ran into that bastard? If that’s the case, it’ll come in handy in this tracking operation. Wouldn’t it be better for me to mobilize you?”
『Impossible. Checking for mental contamination of communication soldiers takes precedence over anything else. If there is noise in the communication, it will affect the overall operation. There are many beings that can replace the main building, so please mobilize them.]
“…Really? What are you struggling with?”
It is unavoidable. Historia had no obligation to do anything more, and now she was overflowing with more important things. Historia took interest in Abby.
Is that why?
“thank you. The main building will surely survive as long as it can.”
Historia didn’t notice the slight heat in the Golem’s words.
Abbey stopped cooperating.
Abby stood up in an isolation communication room inside the communications headquarters and smiled bitterly as she recalled her conversation with Historia.
mental contamination.
Unfortunately, that was true. Because as a communications soldier, Abby’s spirit, which should always be calm, has a big problem.
He was full of longing for life.
When I recall the pleasant memories, a smile naturally came to my lips.
I wanted to let everyone know and share the pleasure of feeling this exhilaration alone.
The happy times remain as marks that can never be erased. Because of that, Abby was afraid of death and was full of regrets about life.
Is this mental pollution or what?
It’s definitely completely different from before.
But as far as I know, I can’t go back. The time when I lived in the middle of people who had a happy time, feeling joy and faithfulness. A time when I picked up happiness in the laughter of the chattering people.
Thanks to that memory, she changed.
Not only her mindset, but also her own mind….
Recalling the happy times, Aby put her hands on her chest. And she unleashed her unique magic.
Yuyumado morning glory.
The morning glory that had taken root in her chest spread out in all directions. Leaves are staggering from the vines that wind around the arms, legs, chest, and neck to the left. It seems to be tied to thorny vines. Flowers grow from morning glory vines that wrap around the body.
Sympathy arose from the purple flower that bloomed after eating Abby’s magic.
The vine is the duty that entangles her, and the flower is the role to be played.
That’s why AB’s unique magic was the morning glory.
It was a little different now.
A small, straight stem sprouted from the end of the stem that climbed up the neck and face. Pretending to be a morning glory vine, the stem sticking out its head bore a large bud.
And at the end of it… a small sunflower.
A sunflower longing for the warm light with its face turned to one side. On the stem of the morning glory, I stared at somewhere.
He will be at the end of where this sunflower looks. Abby instinctively knew that.
That’s why Abby was always happy.
Knowing that the sun still exists.
Aby, holding a sunflower in her heart, said to the morning glory facing the headquarters.
“This is Captain Abbey, Command Communications Officer. I will depart for Command as of the current time.”
