EP.185 Say you want to live – 1
A teacher’s grace is like the sky, but a true teacher’s role is to make his disciples accept such proverbs as the truth. In that sense, I was a true teacher.
Seeing Sefi who came to help the master who had gone out alone, I shed tears of emotion.
“Yeah. I did a good job with one disciple. See how he comes running like an idiot because his master is in danger.”
It is worthwhile to have spent my youth growing up.
If you live in a back alley, you need a string. The world was not easy to live by relying on mind reading alone, so I went to the host bar with the idea of making friends as soon as I arrived in Amitengrad.
It was really fortunate to meet the successor of the holding company there. I sipped honey sweetly, moving back and forth between Seppi’s tutor, Chuck Seppi, and his godfather, Alexei.
Then, when Alexei showed signs of falling into the abyss, he quickly sold his stop loss and caught Sefi.
Hey, even now that I think about it, I did pretty well. Mind reading is also useful because it is used like this.
Anyway. Should I say something kind to the disciple who came to me now?
“I am moved now. I never thought he would think of his teacher so deeply….
“Will Master only think of me?”
‘What are you thinking? He said he would follow me if I went, and ran away without saying a word. They always don’t think about the rest of us.’
There is still a huge gap between words and thoughts.
But in the end, words are part of thinking. Even if I say it well, it means that I still have the points I have earned.
Anyway, if I brought Cheonui-mubong’s power, I wouldn’t be in danger…
What?
“But I can’t see anyone behind me. What about the rest of the troops?”
“A military force? We are a holding company. Only special workers for specialized labor can be hired. The only one here who can even pretend to fight right now is Peto.”
Sefi pointed at Peto and said calmly. I was dumbfounded and asked again.
“A coat hanger on a horse is all about power?”
The senior who suddenly became a clothes hanger replied.
“You have people in front of you, what else is a coat hanger…”
“Yes. That hanger is everything.”
“The boss… no. I am a hanger.”
That’s really just a clothes hanger. As long as you don’t fall off your horse and have the ability to wield a weapon while wearing armor, it doesn’t matter to anyone, it’s a case where tools are stronger than people.
“What then? It doesn’t help much.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be of much help. If there were even mercenaries in the military, they would have led them.”
‘With the fall of Alexei, the holding company was changed to prevent hiring employees who were no different from private soldiers. While Ji himself tore it into pieces. Pretending not to know.’
I thought you were a child who would commit illegal acts for the sake of your precious self and your respected teacher. Finding mercenaries or hiring strong soldiers for a short period of time. It doesn’t look like it’s there. The master was disappointed in his pupil.
Chet. This isn’t completely safe. One senior is unreliable against the threat of the shadow.
But it’s okay. I have one more line just in case.
directly the captain of the army.
“Ah Sephi. I have something to say to the captain, would you mind stepping aside?”
Sefi, who would have agreed immediately if it was usual, gave a delayed reply this time, as if something had grabbed the horse’s tail.
“…You ate so much and wielded it as you please, but now it’s an open secret? Master, don’t you have a conscience? I didn’t want a fair deal where you get what you give. Still, if I gave it, shouldn’t Master also give something to keep the formality of the transaction?”
‘I’ll get out of the way, so talk quietly. In the meantime, I’ll have to wait outside lonely.’
Something is strange. Do you think your thoughts and words are reversed?
“Sefi. Didn’t something come out of your true heart?”
“It’s not my intention, it’s a legitimate request. Following Master’s will, I held on to Captain and provided necessary equipment, and both Captain and Master did. He doesn’t even tell me a word about himself. Are you going to come out like this?”
‘Not at all. I never lied to Master.’
Earned points were cut in real time. From his expression, along with resentment, doubts as to whether he should continue to follow him flowed out.
Before the Sepi Point was over, I spoke urgently.
“It’s not because of me, it’s because of the captain. He’s on a classified operation.”
“So what does that have to do with me?”
“They say you’ll die if the secret is revealed.”
The word death must have shocked him a bit. Sefi glanced at the inside of the wagon with a wink.
After a while, Sephi returned to his cool look and replied.
“…all right. Sorry for raising my voice, Master. I’ll get out of the way, so let’s talk quietly just the two of us. In the meantime, I will have to wait outside lonely.”
Saying that, Sefi leaned against the side of the wagon. I said goodbye and entered the open door.
There, the captain in uniform was waiting for me stiffly with both hands on his knees.
Closed the door. At the same time, I closed the small window towards the driver’s seat. It was a quiet night, but when all the doors were closed, an even more cramped silence came.
The captain just stared at me without saying anything.
‘Actually, it was strange from the beginning. A wealthy life to the extent that you wouldn’t think of it as someone from District 15. Why didn’t the main building suspect it from the beginning?’
Now.
‘Or maybe it was something I didn’t want to doubt. Since he is an ordinary person, he may have wished to enjoy his daily life a little more. The main officer is also disqualified from being a soldier.’
I have to face the captain.
‘But that’s over now.’
I finished thinking and I chose all the words.
The captain spoke first.
“Are you a being called a magician?”
“Oh that. It’s a nickname that doesn’t matter.”
I smiled vaguely and confirmed her guess. There is nothing I can do about coming here. It’s better to pretend to be a one-of-a-kind person than to make excuses that the person who did all this is an insignificant petty criminal.
Even if it’s a tinnitus full of bravado.
The captain who swallowed saliva questioned me.
“Your actions are clearly illegal. After several days of investigation, we have identified the criminal circumstances of your actions.”
words are still hard This is why principledists.
Principleists should be dealt with in principle. I shrugged and said.
“Do you have any proof?”
It might be a bit hesitant to say confidently if there is evidence, but the captain still sharpened his blade.
“magician. It’s full of circumstances that might specify your behavior. Even if only 10% of the rumors about magicians are true, the time you will finish your sentence will not come.”
“Is the captain of the military just listening to rumors and putting people in? No matter how military it is, that’s not the case.”
“There are also testimonies. Three days ago, you personally sanctioned the criminal who attacked Anna.”
“Don’t panic, bring proof.”
After clearing my ears and speaking shamelessly, the captain narrowed his eyes and questioned me.
“The testimony of the captain, the main officer, becomes evidence soon. The main building witnessed the death event right in front of their eyes. He mentioned the sorcerer until he died with spices in his stomach. If you are a magician, I suspect a strong connection that led to his death.”
“yes? I have simply returned the stolen spice.”
You can’t throw that expensive thing into your stomach. I took a golden spice out of my pocket and shook it. The captain, seeing my spice, was speechless.
“that…?”
‘Surely they said that there was a spice in the stomach…’
What are you talking about. There’s no way all of that will go down the throat of a resisting human. It was the result of playing around with a little scare with a round card.
The only thing he swallowed down his throat was the stopper from a beer bottle.
“Could it be that he didn’t die from cutting his stomach open because he didn’t like the spices? I hope you’re not that stupid.”
“…”
“Huh. what. Have you ever been stabbed by someone?”
wait for a sec. Really? How do you think of splitting a man’s boat? There really is no blood or tears.
‘Looking back on my memory, he was clutching his stomach… not because he ate the spice, but because he was stabbed in the stomach…’
Ugh, that’s terrible. It is a terrible sight that a sensitive person like me would not like to imagine. It’s not a wrapper, but someone thinks about how to cut and take it out.
‘A simple joke…? Or did you induce it and create the situation itself? What the hell is your intention…?’
“Ah, Captain, there are more important things than that.”
Let’s stop talking unfavorable to me and start talking in favor.
I said confidently to the captain who asked with his eyes as if he was puzzled.
“You should thank me. Because the military government did things for us that couldn’t be solved.”
Captain speechless. It seemed that he did not understand yet, so I kindly explained.
“Thanks to the captain going around to block the shadows, I also roughly figured out the identity and target of the enemy. But, my God. The people who were crossing one leg with me are dangerous? So I had no choice but to use my hand first. I infiltrated them, misunderstood that the execution date was today, and warned my acquaintances while the unprepared raid was in progress.”
When a surprise ceases to be a surprise, the effect is greatly diminished. Without a shadowy force willing to intervene, their attacks will end in mere commotion. Like any other ordinary incident.
My predictions were right. Most of the groups that were encouraged to gather were sunk without even achieving half of their goal.
“The result is this! Thanks to you, the peace in the back alley has been preserved! What happens today will be recorded as a simple happening! This is all thanks to my hard work!”
The captain rode an automatic wagon and got a rough idea of the whole situation with the surveillance golem. The back alleys of Gunguk were noisy, noisy, and cluttered today, but there was not as much commotion as expected.
If it goes on like this, it’s loud enough that you can ask and pass it on, but it’s not that big.
“…one. The situation is not over.”
However, the captain’s complexion did not seem to be relieved.
