Chapter. 23. Heir of Gedroitz, Field (6)

“But why is this a quiet place?”
Surprisingly, this question was not about the effect but about the cause. It was really quiet.
Contrary to its merchant-spirited name, BDSM Big Dream Small Margin, today’s BDSM has become a kind of mercenary agency active in various places where armed conflict is necessary.
‘Mercenary Office’. Among the wasteland people, where 99.9% of the survivors are mentally ill, it is a place where people who have no interest in settling down, are accustomed to violence, and are prepared to engage in a life full of violence in the future gather. It was noisier than GG’s mercenary office, and it was definitely not a quiet place.
There were only three types of sounds I could hear right now. The sound of
Rabbit
‘s high heels
clicking and the sound of our footsteps.
Our voices were lowered in a quiet hallway.
Kkak-kkk-kkk-
And the sound of metal that seemed to circle around the entire building.
“What about our kids? Let’s say either Ian or Bex beat him up and left him in a bar somewhere. Shouldn’t there be a lot of BDSM people like the ones camped out in front of my house too? If you look at the reactions on the bulletin board right now, you can see ‘Please include BDSM! ‘I want to be a leader on the path leading to the future of humanity!’ “There were a lot of posts full of flowers on the same head.”
“hmm? Professor Park, are you asking because you really don’t know? Of course I thought you knew? “It happened a few days ago, right?”
“Uhm… I’m a bit busy these days.”
To you it was only a few days ago, but this happened about 30 years ago based on my personal memories.
“In the play video, he looked like a person who keeps everything that happens around him in his head…”
“Hepburn has a bit of a harsh side when we’re alone…”
“Hmm… Isn’t that fun? Anyway, there is only one reason why this is the quietest place around the dome.”
Rabbit, who was walking with high heels, quickly grabbed Bex’s hand, which was hesitant next to his own, and said with a sigh.
“Cheonryuje. “He’s been staying here since he came to the dome, right?”
“Cheonryuje?”
Rabbit’s answer was as surprising as her expression of genuine love.
****
Uh, I vaguely remember.
Ian and his friends went out on a mission and met Cheon Ryu-je. He single-handedly turned two armored trucks and a tank’s worth of fighters into fools. He said that he followed me all the way to Area 47 because he wanted to see me because I was talking about BDSM. .
Some people say strange things like ‘the value of goodness must be preserved’ or ‘rare figures like Professor Park must be protected’. The eyes of the guy I saw… were the eyes of someone who is looking for traces of the dead in others, which is common in the wasteland. Did you say ‘Han Seo-ho’? I heard Cheon Liu-je mutter it a few times.
anyway! He was a quiet guy whose daily routine consisted of pounding iron half the day (he was a blacksmith) and beating the kids in the weight room half the day. What does that have to do with the changing atmosphere of BDSM?
“I heard Cheonryuje prefers a quiet atmosphere.”
“Are you a guy who, except when he sleeps, lives amidst the sounds of people being beat up and metal being hammered so hard that it splits your ears?”
“Well, should I say mental quietness? “Do you feel like you don’t like your regular routine being interrupted?”
“Oh, something like that.”
Come to think of it, I said he was like a monk or an ascetic.
It is said that Cheon Ryu-je did not like the crowds that gathered in front of BDSM, so he dealt with it the way he always did.
“120 people? 130 people?”
“124 people per boat. “2 dead, 122 injured.”
“Thank you, honey~♥ Anyway, that’s what I said. Professor Park, this is what happened during the week when you, Dana, Metal Joe, and Vex all vacated the place and went out to the wasteland to play. “It’s not that I scared them away, but I remembered the faces of all the people there and chased them one by one and turned them into idiots, right?”
“Wow… I guess the dome would have intervened at that level? “If such violence had occurred in the Dome’s jurisdiction, of course we would have responded.”
“huh. I intervened. “By announcing the Dome’s official position and decree instead of sending armed agents and exosuit troops.”
The president’s measures against superhumans who were close to type 3 mutants residing in the BDSM building were extremely realistic and absurd at the same time.
[Area 47 Dom Executive Director Alexander Young officially declares the BDSM headquarters located in Area C-24 of District 47 as an area falling under ‘Policing Ordinance No. 13’ as of this time.]
Policing Ordinance No. 13. What this is is a bill announced by Dom to use the type 3 variant called ‘Old Picture’ that was roaming around here in the past as a city defense monster. The crazy idea is not to stimulate the mutant, but to recreate the streets of the old century according to the mutant’s tendencies, wear the clothes of old century people when passing, and protect the city as a ‘safe monster’ to suit the mutant’s taste.
“Chun Liu-je’s actual inaction was properly recorded on the body camera of the BDSM unit member who encountered him. Of course, the president saw it. Now, let’s think about it from Uncle Young’s perspective.”
“It’s President Young’s position.”
Let’s see.
Cheonryuje is more crazy than the average wasteland person, and has the power to fight against an elite armed group, including Metal Joe, on his own. If there is an opponent who goes against his standards, he uses violence without a single thought. It definitely resembles an old picture in that it usually performs peacefully, but the moment it gets on its nerves, it turns into a superhuman violence machine.
The reason why Cheonryuje stayed in Area 47… I still don’t understand, but it was ‘the protection of Professor Park, who has a precious character’. Since I am an important collaborator of Dom and am being played by the media as Dom’s hero right now, ‘Professor Park’s protection’ is one of the things that Dom is also very concerned about.
It is as strong as the Type 3 variant, but it is usually harmless and does the work that the Dom should do as long as it matches its disposition. In addition, unlike Old Picture, he is capable of communication and has a history of already collaborating with Dom… a being that can be classified as a ‘human’. Cheonryuje is a powerful individual who does not belong to anything, so it is unconditionally beneficial to be able to represent him well.

“It really looks like the old picture?”
“yes? That’s why the BDSM headquarters has become so quiet. Without even knowing it was cool, I said, ‘I’m a fan! ‘Accept BDSM!’ The guys who were making a fuss all threw away Cheonryuje because he was an asshole, and the dome side said, ‘In the official announcement, Cheonryuje and his habitat were designated as a type 3 mutant zone, but they approached him carelessly and provoked him, so they should be sanctioned.’ Instead, they imposed a huge fine on the survivor who became an asshole. “That’s why the BDSM area is so quiet.”
hmm. I can’t believe something like that happened during the week I went out with Dana. I didn’t know that because I started playing 4 World as soon as I came back.
The BDSM idiots were frightened by the inaction of Cheon Ryu-je, who hit and smashed the crowd of 100 to 200 people like bowling pins, so they naturally gathered at a bar located behind the headquarters and made a fuss. It is said that Cheon Ryu-je completely removed the wiretapping surveillance device secretly installed in the dome because it was annoying. .
So – the current BDSM headquarters has become the ‘quietest and most unconcerned place in District 47’.
Kwaang-kwaang-
The place Rabbit guided us to was a small resting area in the BDSM headquarters where the sound of metal could be heard. Bex and Rabbit As soon as I sat down, the TCAT-3000 that followed me flew to one side of the rest area and prepared tea.
“Top manager and two people. Elevated heart rate due to urgent outdoor activities. Inhalation of large amounts of fine dust in the respiratory tract. Have some tea. “Small care prevents big diseases.”
“Oh, thank you. Professor, you have a nice kid? Are you selling this too?”
“Oh, Ticat is not for sale.”
“Oh my~ I’m so sorry. I was thinking of using one at home. “You and Corduroy have a lot of good kids.”
Hororok –
Rabbit took a sip of tea with a beautiful appearance that looked like something out of a pictorial, and continued speaking with a small sigh mixed with steam.
“Now then shall we begin? The agenda is… about the war with raptors, right? From what I heard, they have secured a way to track down the hidden Raptor Nest…?”
“yes. “If President Young finds out, the short-lived peace will end and preparations for war will begin again.”
“Okay, okay. It’s definitely a problem worth thinking about. Anyone who lived through that damn World War III would say the same thing. Um… I’ll have to think about it.”
Rabbit placed his hand on his chin, nodded cutely, and said with sparkling eyes.
“Compared to their situation, mine is a bit lighter. One is, of course, about GG. A story related to my ‘Rabbit Entertainment’, such as a story about the termination of GG service and a story about bulletin board operation. Do you know how surprised I was when I saw your post on the bulletin board? Even if I’m not the ‘highest bulletin board administrator’, I’m still a ‘high-ranking administrator’! What on earth did GG do to gain such broad authority?!”
Ah, that. It’s definitely worth pointing out. It must have been embarrassing for Rabbit. It was clearly the authority he had cleared and obtained, but someone suddenly appeared who was using the authority at the lower level.
“And another story about this person here.”
I was organizing my thoughts about the GG-related story, but I had no idea what the next story was.
With a shy face, Rabbit pointed to Bex, who was fuming next to her, not yet able to touch the hot tea to her tongue.
“I’m thinking of marrying this person. You say you have no family and the only people you consider family are you and Ian, right? “I want to get official permission.”
Poof!
Ugh!
I sprayed the car and Vex made a sound like someone who had been stabbed in the heart.
“Oh, of course you know I’m asking out of courtesy, right? “If you object, I plan to kidnap you and take you away!”
Her eyes were burning with strange longing.
****
“Well… it’s war. First of all, is there something I personally would like to object to? As you know, the District 47 Dome is recovering its past prosperity and is just leaping to the level of a ‘nation’. Internal affairs are still in the process of recovering from the cracks that occurred when the entire executive branch was removed.”
“Oh yes…”
“I’m also anxious about the financial aspect. Shilling, the game money, is being used as the key currency, but just the day before, someone so-and-so said, ‘GG is closed for business.’ If GG is not operational, there is no way to create new shillings. There are a lot of shillings on the market right now, but they will gradually start to deplete. In the wasteland, violent death is a daily occurrence, and the shillings of a person who dies like that will evaporate along with that person’s account. This means that it is time to start currency reform right now.”
“Oh yes…”
“Of course, I admit that it is a war that must be fought. The opponent is a group with both stealth, mobility, and firepower, and the fact that the group is using its courage to hide their whereabouts means that they are preparing something worth investing time and effort into. In war, it is always advantageous to strike before the enemy is ready… Are you listening?”
“Oh yes…. Yes? Ah then. of course. “Just listen carefully.”
“Professor Park, why are you so dazed? “Isn’t what you’re talking about about your concern?”
yes. It’s a very important story that discusses the beginning of a war that could become an all-out war between Dom and Raptor.
But before I could hear that, you threw a bomb.
[I’m thinking of marrying this person.]
The aftermath of those words while elegantly sipping tea was very dramatic.
[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
this was the first time Bex heard about ‘marriage’ and ran away, unable to withstand her emotional limits.
[Ahmm~ So cute!]
Rabbit looked at Bex’s back with eyes full of love, and
[Huh huh….]
I was lost in the pink storm of those two people, and I’ve been speechless and confused until now. It was.
‘Bex and Rabbit getting married?’
I heard that we got along well. I knew that the relationship between the two was progressing quite a bit and that Vex was in a state of confusion.
But I never thought Rabbit would be this sincere.
I’m sorry to say this, but Bex isn’t the kind of guy who would be incredibly attractive to women, right?
Short stature. A stooped waist that makes a short stature look even shorter.
It’s improved a lot now, but the speech is still choppy and slurred, and the voice is hoarse and cracked, making it difficult to listen to. Additionally, he has an old, sallow face that definitely doesn’t look like he’s 24.
In comparison, Rabbit is recognized by everyone as the most beautiful woman in the wasteland, has a good personality, is rich, and has a wide network of people, so she is someone who can be called ‘Uncle Young’ by the president.
Not only is she attractive as a woman, but she also has the best conditions as a spouse in the wasteland. As she is the GG clear record holder, she also has excellent combat skills, so she can be a comrade rather than a burden in times of crisis, and she also has a lively personality that makes everyone who sees her happy. In a wasteland where depression is the number one cause of death, a beautiful woman with that kind of personality is valuable enough to be treasured just by existing in a group.
“Ugh. Maybe I was a bit abrupt? That Professor Park is begging like a scavenger who is off drugs. Ah, you were originally weak in this area, right?”
“No, it’s a bit… That’s right. “Because it was sudden.”
Rabbit, who had been thinking about ‘the benefits of starting the war and the benefits of delaying it’ while writing on paper, put down his pen with a furrowed brow.
“…Well then, he’s so caught up in my story that he can’t get out of it. “Let’s finish mine first.”
Talk. Talk. Talk. Tap…
Rabbit, who was tapping the table with the sharp tip of his pen, asked me sharply, as if he were stabbing my eyes with the pen.
“You thought I approached Vex on purpose?”
“…I’m sorry if that’s not the case.”
“No, no. An incredibly pretty, popular, and perfect woman like me is making such an active approach to a somewhat flawed man like Bex. Of course you’d think something was strange. Also, our Professor Park is quite a great person, right?”
“….”
That was an accurate point. Bex is my best friend and has a more beautiful humanity than anyone else, but he doesn’t have the charm to completely captivate a woman like Rabbit.
The first time I met Rabbit was after clearing World 3. As a candidate for completion with save/load rights and GG bulletin board management rights, he was naturally interested in the rewards I had received, and as someone who was aiming for another clear reward, he must have been competitive with me.
So, I thought he was trying to trick me by approaching me through Vex…
“Are you serious?”
“then. I plan to do my best to make Mr. Bex mine, right? “It can’t be anything other than him.”
Rabbit nodded without any hesitation and spoke with a face like a girl in love.
“You can’t bring anyone else. “That person is the one perfect partner who will make up for the only flaw I lack.”
It was a feeling that went beyond love and was close to obsession.
Where did you see it? I’m sure I saw it somewhere recently.
“So I’ll have it. If necessary, even by killing other bitches who get in the way. Because he is my ‘joy.’”
“Cough!”
Ah, I remembered. system. That’s exactly what the damn ‘world’ looked like when it looked at me.
“So, I’m talking about when I was young…”
I was already on my second cup of tea, and without paying attention, Rabbit’s story drifted into the past.
Everyone knows her story well. That is, it was the story of her childhood, when she made a name for herself in the world as ‘the girl who dismantled wild rabbits.’
