EP.174 My lady,
the shadow of the military state is a gossip.
Even if you order a commotion all at once, you might get scared when the time comes. No, it’s very likely.
A bully is prepared to die and launches a special attack on a specific facility? If that was the case, the military would not have given us such harsh military training.
Everything I’ve done so far has been a crime.
But from now on, what I’m going to do is an act that amounts to a rebellion. The risk of death or the risk of being sentenced to labor until death. No matter how firm the resolution is, will it move easily?
Far from causing a commotion, on the contrary, they might hide more deeply for fear of disobeying orders.
…but if Wolfen was aiming for even this.
“…outlaws who claim to be the shadow of the military. They were hidden all over Amittengrad and were a kind of wedge that the military would use to overthrow the city.”
In the first place, Wolfen wanted only one thing.
co-destruction.
“He intends to stir up unrest and at the same time spread military taboos! Let the guns of the military be directed at all those who have come across or heard about it!”
family and market. One of the few organizations that exist in Amittengrad, where the military power is strong.
It provokes the bullies, including the orphans in the shelter, into quarrels with the two organizations, and induces the military police to intervene in the sudden commotion.
Then spread the taboo. Hiding in the shadows and stealthily.
A deadly poison that permeates just by hearing or touching. A deadly poison in the form of information.
The military taboo spreads among them.
then.
“The military will remove anyone suspected of having encountered the taboo…!”
Family Markets Even shelters with ex-generals are not safe.
Everyone involved in the organization, large or small, will be wiped out in front of the taboo that shakes the military foundation.
‘In the process, Anna, Smen, or you will surely get hurt!’
When weeds are pulled out, the soil holding the roots is also taken away. Not only me and Anna, but all the lower classes involved would be picked out and thrown into the trash.
It would be fortunate if they were taken to a labor camp, and they could end up going to an incineration plant.
In front of the confident signalman, I muttered shyly.
“It seems like a really big taboo.”
The captain suddenly raised his head and spoke urgently to me.
“Forget you. Don’t be curious about the content. Even if you never know that it’s taboo. You can’t even show off your knowledge!”
‘Please. Even coming across the case is dangerous. No, not even the fact that there is such a taboo! I’d rather just forget what the headmaster just said…!’
The captain’s feelings were so desperate and urgent that I wanted to do the same.
But what can I do? I already read it.
…162 secondary military school students massacred by ‘someone’? that the incident happened.
no captain. I wanted to know the plot of the shadow threatening the back alley. I didn’t want to know terrible information that could kill me just by knowing it.
I am a victim too. Victims of mind reading! Mind reading is an arbitrary thing!
ha. Things have grown enormously. I said scratching my head.
“…what the. I tried to get some money from marriage fraud, but it ended up being buried in the grave. The tomb of life. It is not easily granted.”
When the talk of marriage came out of his mouth, the captain flinched. I let out another sigh and looked in the direction of the captain.
Excited about the taboo, the captain felt a different kind of heat in his heart and averted my gaze. Her neck, visible from under her straw hat, was burning red.
I said leisurely.
“all right. I’ll forget about that. By the way, you kept putting it off saying what we were doing, right?”
“That…yes.”
“I was going to help with the investigation and decided to do it when I saw the government office. I couldn’t see the government office on the way. What a coincidence.”
“That positivity. What an amazing coincidence.”
I asked leisurely as I dragged my horse towards the stuttering captain.
“Aren’t you ashamed, Captain? They said it was simply a sham marriage to pay compensation.”
“Of course! In order to legally pay you, I did not take any selfishness!”
His voice, rising by half an octave, had as much heat as when he mentioned military taboos. Even after he said it, the captain was startled and covered his mouth with his hand.
‘What can I do…! In fact, the main building may have been selfish with this incident…! Danger Danger! This would be a false report! The principal lied!’
what about lies I smiled and pointed my finger across the road.
“Then, shall we listen to the government office first? It is not acceptable to take away the reward.”
“That yes…”
The captain’s voice gradually faded.
As he walked down the street, the captain’s heart split in two.
Shadows who try to overthrow the peaceful back alleys by using the power of the military are hostile toward them.
And although it is informal, I am excited about the fact that I will be registering my marriage.
Even though she knew that this marriage was different from an ordinary one, her heart was excited just like a new bride.
‘Is the main building really…?’
The captain, who glanced at me for a moment, quickly put on his straw hat.
‘it’s okay. All you have to do is ask for consent and sign it. That’s all… only. Can you call him your spouse, even for a moment? I can imitate even briefly, right? It’s called a spouse. It’s the West…’
Covering his burning face, the captain trembled in embarrassment for a moment. However, as soon as he saw the happy feelings that fluttered in his heart and his heart gradually swelled, the captain smiled bitterly.
‘Now I understand. The reason why the main building needs a room without a window.’
When she was a radio operator, she was locked in a windowless room and saw the world through a golem.
The world of communication soldiers appeared only through golems. Although Captain Abbey could see the color of the sky, he could not fathom its height, and while realizing the strength of the wind, he did not feel the coolness of ruffling his hair. I couldn’t feel the warmth even when I was with people.
The world was in front of my eyes, but it was the scenery beyond the window. The captain could not live in it.
However, after a few days of living completely in his own body, the captain’s mind made a huge change.
Taste, smell, sympathy, emotion, life and death, joy and sorrow. pain and happiness.
The warm sunlight of the moment she was with someone bloomed in her heart. The captain felt the sun-like warmth spreading in all directions from the center of his heart.
With an undeserved happiness.
‘If you want something small, you want something a little bigger. Gradually, you become greedy for things that you shouldn’t touch. In the end, you will long for everything in the world. The main building should not be more greedy. You have to kill your emotions and do your duty.’
The taboos and shadows of the military.
The information the captain has now obtained is not something to be trifled with. Even if the captain passed this information on to headquarters, the unrest would subside many times faster.
But it’s only half success if you can’t find the shadow. We must find them before the taboo spreads.
The only way to find the shadow before it happens is… as an officer, she herself becomes the bait. If you were an officer, you would consider shadows to be the perfect signal flares.
‘Enough. It’s something only the head office can do in the first place. The military taboo, Hameln. The communications officer, the main officer, knows about the story… so there’s nothing wrong with contacting him.’
Resolutely determined, the captain closed his eyes and clenched his fists. Her heart was not shaken any more.
‘I’ve decided. After submitting the report and completing the procedures. I will pass this information on to him. And I will immediately contact the headquarters and ask them to follow the main building.’
I’ve made up my mind, now all that’s left is to find a way. The captain spread his magic again and connected to the golem.
‘Window access.’
Intangible stems flowed all over Amittengrad. Before long, the sight of the golem reflected in the captain’s eyes.
What is reflected now is this street where we are standing. Only me and the captain were walking side by side in a narrow alley where not many people go. If you leave that street and go to the main road, you will find the government office. There, very briefly, she will have a wedding ceremony that will decorate her finale.
The captain and I walked the streets.
And a few people in cloaks watched us from a distance, then quietly followed as we walked.
The captain suddenly turned his head. In the golem’s field of vision, the captain met the captain’s eyes. There was a look of astonishment on the captain’s face.
‘tailing?!’
uh? tailing? Didn’t you feel hostility?
As I was about to turn around, the startled captain pulled my face while remaining connected. I heard the captain’s whisper in my ear.
“…there is tailing.”
“tailing?”
While living in Amittengrad, I do not spread mind reading.
This alley looks quiet, but even the building right next to it is a medium-sized residential area with more than 200 people. If I blindly use mind-reading, I lose my mind from the outpouring of thoughts, so I suppress it a little.
Still, if there was hostility or fear towards me, I would have sensed it right away. It’s strange.
“where.”
I scattered my mind reading widely. The embankment breaks down and countless thoughts pour in. I filter out all miscellaneous things and go against the idea of the existence of the country and find its owner. Mind reading reached the crowd of capes watching me.
And I made a dumb noise.
“what. Why are you…?”
Then the captain grabbed my wrist and started running.
“This is not the time! Get out of here at once!”
“uh? Uh uh.”
I ran after the captain without knowing why. Just like running away at night.
As the captain ran, he still continued to synchronize with the golem.
Seeing myself in the third person was a very strange feeling. Preview the part where the alley leads and then synchronize with the golem in the alley. The road continues at the end of the line of sight. At the end of the road are two cloaked trackers.
The captain, who was running, let out a small groan and immediately turned around and headed in the other direction. A view of the opposite street rose to her eyes.
“Cheet! They are systematically blocking your way! This organization…! It’s different from what they’ve been up to now!”
uh. I bet
Because I am different from them.
Still, I don’t know the intention of chasing the captain with me.
Those in cloaks were moving precisely aiming for me and the captain. It was the same even if you saw the movements in the captain’s field of view.
Even from my sneaky reading, they were apparently moving with us in sight.
“It seems the captain is getting more and more crowded.”
“sorry…! The Headmaster put his mind at ease for a moment…!”
‘This is why the main building shouldn’t have hoped for pleasure! It doesn’t matter if it’s just the main building, but I thought Yii would get involved too…!’
Only the sound of urgent footsteps echoed loudly in the narrow alley. The captain ran desperately and told me as if he had promised.
“Leave it to the head office. No matter what happens, I will save you!”
‘Even if I use a golem!’
Use it when you live. Don’t try to use it when you keep saving others. Why doesn’t his protective instinct work on himself?
Having roughly guessed the identity of the pursuer, I fled with a more relaxed attitude than the captain.
“beep. than that.”
I pointed backwards with my finger. The cloaked men only approached slowly, not running after us. As if it doesn’t matter if the distance widens.
I made that point.
“Don’t we feel a little bit led somewhere?”
“…!”
The captain fell silent and looked around. In the eyes of the captain, the alley he had passed before came to mind.
As I said, before we knew it, we were forced to make only one choice. Just as if you build a dam, the river only flows in the other direction. By an invisible hand, we were driven to the main road without even noticing.
‘It’s too late to notice! The place they are flocking to is not a corner, but a roadside…!’
If they were gradually cornered, the captain would have noticed something strange. Because everyone pays attention to corners.
But all of a sudden, we were being driven to a large boulevard where cars and carriages could travel in four rows.
‘But why are the enemies aiming for the roadside…! Could it be that everyone can witness this incident? I didn’t think I’d already put it into action…!’
However, it is true that they have already been driven as they are driven. By the way, it means that there are many holes through which to escape.
The captain thought as he clenched his fists.
‘It’s a forced breakthrough!’
It was time for the captain to increase his mana by shining the eyes that contained the gaze of the golem.
I ran to the main road one step ahead of the captain. The moment the narrow alley ends and the open road comes into view.
The first thing I saw was a real carriage, not an automatic carriage.
Two horses with waving red manes hit the ground with a purr. Its momentum was so ferocious that it looked as if it would crush the ground, but the horseshoes made of high-level special annuity steel smoothly absorbed the impact as well as the sound.
And a large wagon that could be twice as big as an ordinary wagon. The design was monotonous, but the luxury was as good as anything else in the world.
As if it had been waiting for me from the beginning, the carriage door opened as soon as I appeared on the main street. The clean shoes came out of the wagon first.
Wearing clean suit pants, a bright red shirt underneath, and a formal scarf. It was a young woman with bright azure hair pulled down in a ponytail.
“Dangerous! Back off!”
The captain who ran after me saw the woman’s face and shut his mouth. The captain’s eyes widened.
“you are…!”
“are you okay. I know someone.”
He waved his hand to reassure the captain.
The oldest relationship that started right after I spent time in Amittengrad. And the biggest successful investment.
He was once my disciple, my back, and with a great money line in front of me.
I waved my hand with a flattering smile, with the mindset of a scammer with a hogu investor in front of me.
“Hey, it’s been a while. Sepi. how are you?”
At the light greeting of waving his hand, Sepier Vakia put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply.
“Have you been well, Master? I was looking forward to seeing you again.”
‘Can someone else’s contact be jerky? Shouldn’t you chew the contact a little bit? Do I really have to hear the news about Master through someone else’s mouth?’
Wow, your mouth. No, your thoughts are much more rugged than before.
I smiled vaguely when I saw the young boss whose mouth had become rough while I hadn’t seen him.
