EP.170 Fake News…?
‘… in the world. There are so many good things.’
‘Morning is nice and the sun is warm. The wind is cool. The tea is sweet, the blankets are cozy, and the food is pleasing to the tongue.’
‘People live together. We spend a tiring day sitting face to face in a restaurant, sharing jokes with each other. You make friends with someone you just met, go back home, raise your kids, and fall asleep. On a quiet night, only their breathing can be heard. The main building has experienced all of this.’
‘But there are tragedies in the world. Anna was attacked and severely injured, men threatening even officers roam the streets, gangs arguing in the dark, and some citizens did not wake up in the morning even though they fell asleep. More people will die somewhere that the headmaster doesn’t know about.’
‘There are accidents that cannot be avoided, but there are also many tragedies that can be prevented. Especially evils that spread chaos must be dealt with quickly. The shadow of the military and the magician. Outlaws who disturb society while hiding their identities.’
‘The main building to fulfill the duties of the main building. Even for him and Anna.’
‘I will rule them out before the main building runs out.’
‘…I was going to.’
Returning home, the captain put a stone on the emotion that was about to rise.
Hold tight. A hard, heavy sense of duty oppresses her heart. Without knowing the master’s heart, her heart, which had been briskly swelling, gradually calmed down, the heat escaped from her head, and her reason returned.
It looks more genuine. Shall we clear up the misunderstanding now?
“Captain, are you not upset by the words I used to get out of the situation?”
“…”
“Nehru was born an animal, so I couldn’t help it because he barked loudly when there was no meat in his mouth. So, be generous with a broad mind…”
“Negative.”
“yes? Deny something.”
The captain looked around the room without answering.
Bed and sofa lamps and lights. Even the carpet on the floor and the bathroom door.
The captain, who looked at every item once, looked at me with a firm resolve.
“I ask for your cooperation.”
“Oh right. You said you were asking for cooperation, right? But I’m a person who is sure of the construction division. tell me I will listen to the requirements and even the cost and make a decision.”
At one time I even did something similar to a fixer. Cooperation? I’ll do it. Only if you pay the price.
As if anticipating my reaction, the captain nodded without hesitation and said,
“The head office wants to find a criminal organization called ‘Shadow of the Military’ and an outlaw called ‘The Magician’.”
“yes?”
oh. That doesn’t work. am i a magician?
Is it the nature of a weed killer? When the officer in front of me looked for me, I stiffened as if I had become a mouse in front of a cat. uh this doesn’t help? You have to insert a straitjacket packet yourself to help?
Anyway, why all of a sudden?
“Why are they looking for it?”
“The main officer is a soldier. What reason does a soldier need to spy on and arrest criminals?”
“That’s right, but…”
Wasn’t it vacation until you went back to headquarters?
If ‘return before 2 weeks’ is the condition, of course, isn’t it a virtue to enjoy the pleasure of society for 2 weeks and then go back on the last day? Why are you trying to work while on vacation?
It does catch me too!
“The main building needs a collaborator who lives locally and is familiar with the geography and situation. You also need to find a contact person who will pass on the information to the head office in the event of an unavoidable problem.”
“You want me to see you?”
“Positive.”
“I don’t mind cooperating, but I don’t work bare-mouthed. No matter what you do, you get a certain price. I work for the money I receive because that is my motto.”
In a word, it means paying the price. The captain agreed without saying anything.
‘I know. You were like that. Even in the abyss, they used to ask for a price for a trivial request.’
haha. I know.
That’s why it’s important not to get caught on a regular basis. You think of the price because you build up an image.
“But before that. I have one suggestion for you.”
Whoa. Are you negotiating? How dare you stand in front of me, a mind reader?
ruler. where. How long have you been looking for it? From risk pay to the cost of providing bases to the labor force. hmm. It wouldn’t be possible for any amount of money.
Let’s read a little bit about what he’s suggesting.
It was around the time I was about to read my thoughts.
“Marry the main building.”
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
yes? I beg your pardon?
The ability to read thoughts is no different from being deaf if you don’t understand what you read.
While I was dumbfounded, the captain took off his cap and said earnestly.
“The head office is well aware that it is a sudden statement. However, please listen to the headmaster slowly.”
I can’t hear it, so I plan to read my thoughts and dig up my memories. How the hell did you come up with that kind of circuit? Is this the first proposal of your life?
‘The main officer, a communications soldier, has been discovered by you. I had to kill myself immediately or kill you, but while I passed half of the country, the main officer didn’t take any action and just watched. This is a negligence on the part of the head officer who has nothing more to say.’
Oh this pattern.
“The head office owes a great debt to you. You saved my life, gave me a place to live, and gave you all kinds of accommodations. On the other hand, what the main office provided to you is…”
‘Not killing… would not be offered in return. According to the principle, the principal should have committed suicide. To put it bluntly, thanks to your help, the main building got a few days’ grace to decorate the end of death…’ “
…none.”
I know.
What’s with someone you know so well all of a sudden?
“It’s great that you know, but what does that have to do with it? Do you mean that I will marry you, so I will be grateful and live with it for the rest of my life?”
“denial.”
The captain straightened his posture and raised his head straight. Her eyes, as blue and transparent as the sky, were so clear that she didn’t even bother to read her thoughts.
“Currently, mysterious criminal organizations and outlaws are running rampant in the 10th Division of the military. I am trying to set things right for you and your surroundings and clear them out.”
something like you…? There are too many abilities that have been shown to say that.
If you go to the communication headquarters without needing anything else and spill the information properly, the organization will be destroyed. Ordinary criminal organizations will never be able to shake off hidden golems everywhere.
However, if you go to the communications headquarters with your identity discovered, you will only be killed yourself. It seemed that he was determined to gather as much information as possible.
…or not. Did you die fighting a crime syndicate?
“You are doing a good job.”
“It is the duty of the head office. The Headquarters will use all means to investigate the outlaws harassing the citizens of the military in the future and to eliminate them. However, the opponents are criminals who wield violence even against officers. In the course of an investigation, a threat may arise to the principal’s safety. They don’t have laws or rules, so it’s possible that the main officer could be murdered.”
I guess I still don’t want to live. The captain calmly brought out the word that he was going to die.
“This is a request for cooperation from the head office to you, and at the same time, it is also a reward for helping the head office so far. If, by any chance, the main officer dies, someone needs to pass on the information he has and the fact of his death to the authorities.”
“ah. therefore.”
I’ll get to know it now Why did the marriage story come out there?
“If you die during the mission, death compensation comes out, so get married and get the money that will disappear?”
“…”
“Right?”
“…Positive.”
‘That’s all I can give you. A main building without immediate family will not receive funds, so at least I hope you accept it.’
It’s a life that will die anyway
Based on this premise, the captain is trying to investigate and destroy the background forces that attacked Anna and put citizens into unrest.
In the process, the desire to repay the debt to me jumped out of nowhere, and then the topic of marriage suddenly popped out.
“It won’t be bad for you either. Knowing that you actively cooperated with me in Tantalus will clear some of the charges against you.”
“The military clears the charges? It is the most discredited story in the world.”
“It is clear that you helped the main building back to Amitengrad. If the head office emphasizes that fact, the upper management won’t blame it too much.”
“I’m dropping level 0. You might get arrested before you blame it.”
“No problem. Marriage to a level 3 citizen temporarily grants the spouse a level 2 citizen level. You just have to clear all the doubts while the 2nd level is maintained.”
I’m not too dissatisfied with my life as a 0-level petty criminal, but the exemplary captain wanted me to go out in the sun again.
“Now, wash away all your sins and start a new life with enough wealth. This is the price the main building offers you.”
I mean, I’m married to you.
Oh, thank you for your heart and honestly, thank you for your money. kinda isn’t it?
“Does he really have to die? Isn’t it okay to just do what’s right and then step back when your life is in danger?”
The captain shook his head resolutely.
“The main building must do its duty.”
The iron rule of a communications soldier is to keep the very existence of absolute secrecy.
I had just discovered the power of the signal soldier, so I can understand it to some extent.
It monitors an entire area from a sitting position, accepts all kinds of information at once, and organizes it in an instant.
Coordination magic, which conveys the nation’s secret information or operations to other signal soldiers or troops, is insignificant on a personal level, but is a very powerful ability on a national level. Sending commands from the headquarters far away without delay and without consumption cost means that the entire army can move as swiftly as a single beast.
Remote communication information control monitoring and management.
The communications soldier is the military’s neural network. It should never be revealed.
If another part is hit, only that part is damaged, and if there is a problem with the mana communication soldier, the huge nation called the military is staggered. Due to the nature of synchronization magic, a problem that occurs with one person spreads throughout the military, so the military has no choice but to be careful in handling communication soldiers.
As much as that, the military government beat the signal soldiers as if they were brainwashing their importance and duty.
Like the captain in front of my eyes right now.
“You mean you are almost certain to die.”
‘denial. Even if there is a chance of survival, the main building intends not to. Even if you have a spouse, confidentiality about the signalman must be maintained.’
The captain said something different from what was in his heart.
“Positive. It is such a risk.”
I know what you mean.
In the end, the few days we spent together taught us enough about the joys of life, but that alone was not enough to save you.
If so.
“…Captain. If so, wouldn’t it be considered a fake marriage aimed at death compensation?”
“It’s Ki-woo. It is an unwritten rule not to blame an unmarried soldier for hastily marrying just before being sent to death.”
The reason is simple. for fraudulent purposes.
When you die, you receive death compensation. In a military state where even a legacy cannot be left behind, the death compensation paid to the surviving family members is an excellent means of making soldiers ready for death.
A soldier who is not prepared to die is a ragtag. Therefore, the military state actively encourages marriage.
To increase the morale of the soldiers at the same time to increase the population and power.
“The main building is just using that right.”
I understand the meaning. mindset too.
There’s little to no harm to me. All you have to do is put a stamp on the marriage papers. He had no children and his wife soon disappeared, so only death compensation was paid. Isn’t this pleasure without responsibility?
This is an army. Since there is no success, no one will point fingers at you for divorce.
“It’s an opportunity to get rid of all charges with the captain’s death compensation. It’s not a bad story for me… but I have a question.”
“Tell me.”
Get married under the guise and take the price as compensation.
On the surface, this seems like a reasonable proposal, but I have one question.
Did Captain Abbey, a sincere and exemplary military signalman, make such a request for purely financial consideration?
What impact did the interview with Nehru have, or did the human being change something as he met people all over the street?
If you dig very, very deep, you might find out.
Not yet. The captain did not get a life.
Let’s leave it a little longer.
“This contract is just a contract, right? Doesn’t it mean more than the death compensation I will receive?”
“Positive.”
The captain reacted immediately. It was a prepared answer without a moment’s hesitation.
“Well, in my case, I also accept goods or bills.”
For some reason, if I accept this, I feel like I’m going to become the trash of the world, but I don’t know.
That one decided to give it first. I have only accepted sins.
I held out my hand to shake hands.
“great. We will cooperate. Captain.”
“I will leave it up to you.”
The captain held my hand and smiled softly.
‘…it’ll be fine. Finally, even if I’m a little more greedy.’
‘The main officer is a communications soldier and knows all kinds of information. From secrets you should never know to recipes for canning beans. I know most of the knowledge and information that the military has access to.’
‘However, there are still too many things that the main building does not know.’
‘The heartbeat you feel when you’re held in your arms, or the shame that makes your face turn red. The sadness I feel every time I think of the death of the main building. And longing for those we will never see again. The main building still doesn’t know what it is.’
‘…Can I find out if you get married? If it changes a person so dramatically, if it gives courage to a soldier who is about to die. Will the main building be different?’
‘I heard that marriage should be with someone you want to be with for the rest of your life. If that’s the case, you’re getting a pretty good marriage.’
‘He will not know the feelings of the master. It’s fortunate.’
‘I don’t have any time left, so I won’t be able to have children, but the main building… I tried to get married before I died.’
‘The main building must be the happiest communication soldier.’
