Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 155

EP.155 Ta-da I’m back

Every road has an end.

It is the same that the moment to take down the meta conveyor belt that constantly rotates around the military comes. There is no destination in aimless wandering. Maybe the road is walking to meet a certain moment when you can’t go further in the end.

This is the Amitengrad stopover. An insult to the capital of the old kingdom and the most populous city in the military state.

When I looked up, the city I saw seemed to have stopped the moment a huge bomb exploded. The gray and black concrete is growing disorderly and large. All over the place, just to fill the empty space. The concrete sticks here and there and gradually increases in size.

In the meantime, those who could not follow the army sink and are pushed away. Buildings, people, equipment, garbage, etc. are piled up on the outskirts and look like the remains of explosives.

In fact, the wreckage is right. Because they are parts that have been broken and fallen out of the explosion called military power.

iced coffee. military country. this fucking country

The magician has returned.

I was in the middle of a new feeling.

After completing the formalities, the captain followed me. Drivers from the wagons that lined us up at the stop glanced at us. Some aggressive drivers even came directly toward us.

“Come on, Captain. It’s quite a distance from here to Amitengrad, so don’t you need a carriage?”

Before the captain could say anything, I raised my finger and said,

“Four people. Can I ride?”

“Of course! Shall I prepare it for you?”

“hurry.”

The driver happily guided them to their own carriage. Other drivers waited for other passengers with sad faces, or some left to load luggage instead of people.

The captain asked, looking at the mother and son who got off with us.

“Four? Are you going to burn them too?”

“yes. I guess this is also meant to be, shall we go together on the way?”

I handed the hat such an offer. The mother was a little wary, but after seeing the child tired from the long journey, she gratefully accepted my proposal.

I climbed into an automatic wagon pulled by an excited driver. Through the window, I could see a large crane and dragged laborers busily moving. Some are captured by the military and are working, while others participate in labor to earn a living. Because the stopover is always short of workers.

As soon as I got into the soft and quiet carriage, my son fell asleep. The mother put her son’s head on her thigh and brushed his hair. A benevolent smile appeared on her lips, as if all worries and worries had been put aside for a while.

The child fell asleep, so the captain and I were seated next to each other.

The automatic carriage sways gently. An automatic carriage moves along the finely paved road. As the panoramic view of the city, which had only been visible from afar, gradually became visible at a glance, the captain glanced at me from the side of his eye.

When the car reached its destination.

“ah! Please drop me off here!”

I raised my hand and called the driver. The automatic carriage stopped and the driver, who had been dropped off too soon, poked his head out of the driver’s seat with a slightly sullen face.

“Are you okay? This is District 15, far from the center.”

“I don’t have any problem. I have business here.”

“Then the fee is…”

“Ah, other people will keep going. Captain Pip please!”

Originally, the fare is paid by the person who gets off last. That’s why you need to have a good sense of noticing and getting off early.

It was time to leave the responsibility for payment to the person behind me cheerfully and go back.

“Wait!”

As I was about to greet with a gesture, the captain suddenly grabbed my sleeve. I asked pretending not to know.

“what. What’s going on, Captain Pip?”

The captain hesitated for a moment and said.

“…that. The charges are still hanging on you.”

“But I can’t invade the military police on my own, can I? Were you expecting that?”

“Yes.”

“We decided to go all the way to Amitengrad together, right? It may not be acknowledged by that side or the military, but I faithfully completed my duty of labor. Get a warrant if you want to keep him locked up longer.”

“That but!”

“Why or is there another reason?”

‘Main must deal with you. Or it has to be dealt with. No one who knows the identity of the principal should be allowed to walk around. But…’

“…confidential.”

“uh? what. Do you want to be with me by any chance?”

“…! denial! Why is the main building! Again, I would like to erase all memories of meeting you if I could!”

“Then it’s better to break up here, right?”

“Aww…!”

‘But I don’t want to die. I don’t want to kill. I just want to live a normal life pretending not to know. I’d rather be in that prison. It would have been nice.’

“…it’s classified!”

What should I do with this sincere model student?

Hmm. Can not help it.

There is a saying like this since ancient times.

Silent black. If you hang out with bad friends, you get bad water. So, you should make good friends.

So, blame yourself for having a bad friend like me, Captain. let me corrupt you

In order for both of them to live, they have no choice but to become so bad that they can lie calmly.

“there’s nothing we can do. I’m a light-assed guy, so I can’t go over it even if I’m tempted like this.”

“When did the master seduce you!”

“If the attitude of not wanting to break up is temptation, what is it? Is there a week’s grace anyway? In the meantime, enjoy a short vacation. Come on.”

I pulled the captain’s arm and led him toward the exit. All that is left is the child and the mother.

No matter how thrifty I may be, I can’t do that even to a person without money. that’s a scam

I took an alchemy coin out of my pocket and handed it to the driver.

“mister! I’ll pay you in advance, so take them wherever you want!”

“oh my. All right. Please leave it to me.”

The driver who received the extra money was happy. When I led the captain and got out of the wagon, the son and the remaining mother bowed down to say thank you.

“thank you. What should I do with this grace…”

“Ah, what thanks. are you okay.”

I waved my hand and smiled at my mother, who was delighted with her good fortune.

“Think of it as the balance you owe. You couldn’t pay them all, so your plans went awry.”

My mother couldn’t keep up with my words for a moment and stupidly asked back.

“…yes?”

“Oops. look at me It was blocking the way! We’ll get off! goodbye!”

I closed the car door. Realizing belatedly that the secret she had to carry with her to the grave had been revealed, my mother immediately tried to follow me down, but just in time, the world’s heaviest weight stone was fast asleep on top of her thigh. It’s probably a weight heavier than Jizan’s for her.

The mother, unable to do this or that, poked her face at the window and shouted.

“for a moment…! please sorry! Forgive me…!”

But be that as it may. The automatic carriage moved mercilessly. Mother’s earnest cry fades away.

The captain, unable to grasp the situation, was surrounded by doubts.

“question. What do you mean balance?”

“It’s nothing. He was actually a co-conspirator of the Resistance.”

I calmly told the truth. Then, the captain was startled and looked at the moving carriage.

“question. How can you prove that is true?”

can’t ‘Cause I just read your mind

But you should be able to fit it roughly. I explained as I walked leisurely as if I had become a great detective of the century.

“The containers loaded on the meta conveyor belt come in three sizes, but all have the same design. That way you can lift it with a crane.”

“Positive. This is information that the head office is familiar with.”

“But how did the Resistance find out about the cargo of fur and jump off the cliff, clinging to a rope? What if it goes wrong?”

Problems with hanging from a rope on a cliff and climbing onto a belt. If you get on the wrong side, you’re out of luck.

However, it was impossible to do a new concept running exercise that ran against the meta conveyor belt, so the resistance needed to accurately distinguish the targeted cargo.

So, here comes the question. How did they identify their targets? Did he use a communications soldier? Or did it run faster than the meta conveyor belt?

No way.

The captain, who understood my meaning, opened his mouth wide.

“…collaborators. Did that hat signal them from the side of the cargo?”

“Exactly, only the mother’s side. Perhaps the signal was a lamp.”

If the lamp is run wild in some way, it emits a red light that can be seen from far away. Perhaps the resistance taught my mother how to do it. Use that light as a signal and attack.

The captain, who learned the truth, said in dismay.

“But they lost the lamp…”

“They didn’t lose it, they put the lamp on the target cargo. Originally, I was going to stay by her side, but it seemed that the child was having a hard time and took refuge in the windshield.”

You can borrow the warmth of a lamp, but you can’t get a windshield.

Even if it is rotten, it is said that it is a communication disease, and the link of information continues in the captain’s head. The captain, who was silently organizing information, suddenly found an empty hole and asked.

“…That is nonsense. Then why did the Resistance attack our side?”

ahaha that’s what

In fact, I read his mind and set my lamp on fire. And I put it in a place slightly out of the windshield.

To make it look good to the Resistance, who will be waiting somewhere.

I didn’t know you would come down from the mountain!

However, since it was annoying to explain, I said with a good-natured smile.

“It’s a secret.”

“Speak!”

“Nope. I don’t want to paint my face with gold.”

oh mother It’s nice to think of your son.

There’s no way a lamp that’s just been placed can’t stand still in that wind and vibration.

If it went on like this, I would have surely received retaliation from the resistance. Eating and running is also eating and running, but there is a high possibility that my mother informed the military.

After all, I was helping my mother.

Ten members of the Resistance died as a result, but that’s how things turned out. I want you to understand That’s really your bad luck. Could it have been successful if it hadn’t been for the climax?

The captain, realizing that he had been sitting with a resistance collaborator a while ago, clenched his fists and glared at me.

“You just mentioned the balance. So, are you funding the Resistance collaborators?”

“Then what are you going to do? Even now, if you follow me in an automatic wagon, you can catch one of the resistance co-conspirators. Are you going to do that?”

“That is the law and the rule. Rules must be followed. Punishment for breaking the law and sanctions for breaking the rules is a promise to set the country right.”

The captain spoke as hard as the handwriting in the military formula on the manual.

“So are you. Funding for Contributors. The moment that negligent willfulness is recognized, you will be punished too!”

“Then what about the child?”

For a moment the captain paused. The face of a child who fell asleep without knowing the world appeared in her mind. Pain and guilt flashed across his face for a moment.

That’s why you need a room without a window. If you face them face to face… the near-pure-white communication soldier may be contaminated.

But the captain was used to enduring pain. The captain, who had endured even the pain he felt in his heart, spoke coldly.

“no problem. The military is running an orphanage for unaccompanied children.”

It’s vocational education, and it’s an orphanage where you work from the age of six. know well.

And Captain Abbey knows. So I can’t say more and keep my mouth shut.

Returning to my hometown, I used to walk through the streets. The captain, lost in thought, followed me without a word.
