Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 19
EP.19 Regain only the grandfather’s honor
. Hold on.
While I was in a sweet sleep, I felt a heavy weight on my waist. Something was disturbing my sleep. I frowned and swung my arms around, and the pressure on me was gone in an instant. Having regained my composure, I fell asleep again.
Koo Woo-wook.
Again, something heavy was put on the waist. He swung his arm with ferocious force and hurriedly disappeared. I fell asleep with a satisfied smile.
Woo woo woo.
I’m getting a bit annoyed now. What kind of cheeky being is disturbing my sound sleep? I’m going to have to give up on myself. Taking advantage of the weight, I jumped up, grabbed the foot that was pressing down on my body, and pulled it. Suppress me so that I can’t move like this.
what. why don’t you move It’s strange. I’m pulling with all my might, but there’s no movement.
Where did you touch this?
The military is a country of steel and concrete. All the components that make up the city are made of hard things.
Buildings, people and ideas.
I once touched a pier while passing under an underpass. A very strong and solid pier built with a steel frame and hardened with concrete. The tactile feeling of the structure that endures even the people and large wagons passing over it is still vivid. It didn’t shake even when I kicked it with my feet, so it seemed that the object called the bridge bridge existed regardless of me.
The bridge that held me down now was about the same as a pier made of steel and concrete. don’t budge If there is a difference, it is warm and soft, but the power contained in it is more than a pier.
I’m blankly holding my legs for no reason.
“bruise!”
My legs followed my hands by themselves.
Adults are attracted to children not because they are weaker than children, but because their hearts are directed toward them. On a similar principle, the soft and soft feet moved as I guided them. As a result, a large shadow jumped into my bed.
What appeared before my eyes was a girl with eyes full of curiosity. The expression on her face is revealed in her messy blond hair that is not tidied up. I’m not sure if the entry-level shirt was tied tightly under the chest to highlight the attractive breasts or to keep it from going wild. A half-curled tail wags below the belly button.
As soon as the girl saw me, she smiled brightly and touched my chest with her hand. There was a lot of trust and affection in his hands, which was rather embarrassing to me.
what is this
A woman suddenly wakes me up and is acting cute. Was he an assassin or did he come to the harp…
That was the moment when I felt a sense of crisis and read my thoughts.
no it’s a dog
Dog King Puppy.
I shook my head and got up from the bed. When I wake up, I feel a little bit better. Noise mixes in my quiet head, and my field of vision widens as if it permeates like fog.
As I tried to get out of bed, Aji quickly moved out of the way.
“Are you here to wake me up?”
“bruise!”
“There’s no alarm clock, so when someone asks to wake you up?”
“Woof woof!”
“okay. thank you. kind.”
“Am I good?”
“Oh, that’s nice.”
“Woof woof! I am good!”
From the way he barks, to the way he rolls around on my bed, naturally excited after receiving compliments. No matter how you look at it, it’s like a dog. In terms of their essence, they are closer to the ‘dog’ species than anything else in this world.
yes. dog. not a girl
I washed my face and changed my clothes. The entry-level shirt seeps into the biometric terminal on the wrist and slips a packet of new clothing into the wrist.
I felt like pouring cold water on my head.
Of course, such luxury cannot be afforded by daily rations alone. While washing, the daily ration of water ran out, so she stormed into the next room with water dripping from her wet hair. In the room next to me, the bed was folded in half and the cabinets were broken, but the water supply was alive, so I was taken care of when my room was running out of water.
I wiped everything off and lifted my head. Aji is still hanging out by my side. Wiping the water with a dry towel, I checked the remaining ration.
Some water remains. One serving is always not enough, but two servings is a little too much. like a military
As I poured the remaining water into a cup and gave it to Aji, he threw his face down and giggled.
The same appearance as usual looked strange today for no reason, so I bruised Aji.
“Ah. Still, the body structure is human, so hold it in your hand and drink it.”
“bruise?”
Aji tilts her head in response to my words innocently.
“bruise? did you call?”
If I had heard it verbally, Aji would not have been a dog. I sighed, sat Aji down on my lap, put the cup to my mouth, and carefully tilted it.
Aji, who continued to flick her tongue, looked embarrassed when the water tried to flow into her mouth. The guy who twists his body for nothing. Still, I held on tightly and read it slowly so as not to be surprised, so I swallowed the water little by little, relieved before I knew it.
“okay. Well done. How comfortable is it to eat like this? Drink like this in the future. how is it?”
“bruise!”
“Where are you?”
did you understand enough? I carefully set the glass down on the ground. Then, without hesitation, Aji knelt on the ground and sighed with his face down.
I murmured as I watched the tail wag over my soaring hips.
“You did something wrong.”
Hearing my voice, Aji stopped drinking water and turned his head. When our eyes met, Aji smiled brightly and barked.
“Woof woof!”
A bloody laugh emerges.
Why do humans find solace in seeing innocent and simple beasts?
To look down on creatures lesser than them and feel a sense of superiority?
Or to remember the innocence they lost?
“Anything.”
I don’t care why. Maybe emotions exist before the reason added later.
In the end, if you enjoy it, it’s enough.
Aji drank all the water. I put the cup back on the rack and left the empty room.
“Let’s go eat breakfast.”
“bruise!”
Today’s menu is a meat stew that was left over from yesterday. There isn’t much meat left, but I should be able to eat a meal for breakfast. And for dinner… Beans. I’m tired of stew, but the best I can eat right now is bean stew.
“We don’t even supply supplies here. I would like to get some fresh food.”
There aren’t dozens of them, just two people and one corpse, so we can supply them. Even one of them and one district are self-sufficient.
It’s not like you don’t even know it exists. Delivery or contact is delayed.
I grumbled and headed for the restaurant.
4th floor. It was hard to say that the laborers’ dormitory was okay even with exaggeration. There were countless incontinence on the concrete wall, and the constant impact grew like a tree ring. A door that cannot be locked in a narrow passage is stretched along the corridor. If you inadvertently touched the wall, the door would open or the wall would shake.
At least, the restaurant with facilities is spacious and sturdy, so it’s a shame.
The dining room was larger than the room and was fully equipped with necessary equipment. There are several standard-sized pots and several plates and even a tray to carry them. Perhaps it was even assumed that laborers would deliver food to prisoners.
“I wouldn’t have needed a tray to carry the food. If I had just walked down, that would have been food delivery.”
I shrugged and headed for the pot with the lid on.
And the moment I was about to lift the pot, I felt an indescribable feeling of foreboding. Should I say deja vu? Should I say it’s an intuition close to foreknowledge?
Ay no way also?
“No. I fought like that yesterday. no way.”
I laughed and lifted the lid of the pot to shake off my anxiety.
I was faced with only an empty pot. The dark bottom of the pot, as if looking at my future.
“Hey, you mutt!”
My roar echoed through the restaurant.
“Don’t you have the ability to learn? What is the difference between a dog and a dog? The famous genius dog in the countryside must be many times smarter than you!”
“Aww! not me! bruise! bruise!”
It was a time when the war between humans and dogs was taking place. A regressor who heard the commotion and ran over touched his forehead and spoke.
“What happened again?”
‘It’s probably not the same thing this time.’
Isn’t it the same? State of consciousness. Among them, food has always played with people’s lives. In other words, this is a matter of life and death!
I took the pot and strode toward the regressor. He shouted, holding up an empty can of canned food and an empty pot to the regressor.
“saw? Originally, one can of canned food can feed one person for four days. That’s how many nutrients are compressed! But here, because of this mutt, a can disappears in one day!”
Aji’s voice was heard from the other side.
“it’s not me!”
“lie! You or who the hell is it!”
“no! no!”
“If you are the king of beasts, say something else! It’s not a dog that says the same words, it’s a parrot!”
“It’s not a parrot!”
“If you want to convince them, speak human words!”
The regressor interrupted, pretending to cover his ears.
“for a moment. Both are noisy.”
Aji and I glared at each other and growled. The regressor sighed deeply and muttered.
“Why are you so sure Aji is the culprit? It may not be your father.”
“Then, Shay’s trainee is the culprit?”
I said, rolling my eyes.
“Tirkanjaka trainees are vampires. I only drink blood. The remaining humans are me and Shay’s trainee. But not me. No matter how conscienceless I am, I don’t do meaningless things that I eat and put the blame on the dog. I manage the warehouse anyway.”
‘Do you know that he has no conscience?’
“If the culprit is not Aji, that inevitably means that Trainee Shay stole and ate the food. Do you know? What you said is no different from doubting yourself!”
I shouted as I threw the pot into the sink.
“I hear you have an emergency lunch box! You said you didn’t have to prepare food! By the way, did you rummage through pots at night because you were enamored with military soul food after eating only boxed lunches? Not only poverty, but even the soul food created by poverty is just a trace to decorate your display case!”
“What are the signs? Of course not. Even if you give them canned food, they won’t eat it.”
“Then stay still, bourgeois! Because I have to make a life-and-death decision with that mutt today!”
“wait.”
said the regressor angrily. According to her will, the treasured sword, the heavenly cherry tree, which was floating in the air, slowly rotated and began to aim at me.
shut up immediately.
Even if it’s a life-or-death decision, you can’t die like a dog.
“I mean, maybe there are others left here.”
“I don’t really like the idea that someone here, whom no one knew existed, was actually the culprit, because I think it’s too opportunistic.”
‘…While he usually argues, he sometimes says crazy things. He’s such a strange man.’
“Whether you like it or not, the possibility exists.”
“I doubt you can do anything. but.”
It’s a reasoning so full of holes that I’m at a loss as to where to begin. That’s all, a regressor. I’ll let you know. No matter how complex things seem, the truth is always the simplest answer.
I pointed my finger at the regressor and declared it.
“Trainee Shay, your reasoning is wrong.”
“why?”
“This is the abyss, Tantalus. A completely isolated place where no one can come and go. Someone you and I don’t even know, and a person you don’t even know about the Tyrkanjaka trainee is hiding there, and then shows up at night to get food?”
With a sigh, I worked out the perfect logic.
“It is absurd. There is no such person and there should not be.”
“I understand it’s hard to accept, but what do you mean it shouldn’t exist?”
“If such a being really existed, would there be more than ghosts?”
“however?”
“It is scary when there are ghosts. I won’t believe it.”
The regressor belatedly understood my words and opened his mouth. The stupid look suits him well.
“So you’re afraid of such an existence, so you won’t even consider it?”
I nodded coldly.
“yes.”
“What what.”
‘Are you really crazy or are you doing this on purpose?’
on purpose what do you say
Think about it. A regressor with all sorts of unusual means. A vampire who will come from a thousand miles away the moment he bleeds. A dog king with a dog.
In addition, even my mind-reading ability to see through the stealth of the regressor.
Something they don’t notice is hiding in the restaurant? Can’t even read my thoughts?
If there is such a thing, you should run away immediately.
‘If you think there will be no one, you are mistaken. The reason Tyrkanjaka and Aji became the ‘pieces of the end’ was because of an outside intruder, and there was also ‘she’ who would come looking for ‘it’ at the bottom of the abyss. In addition, there is a possibility that ‘he’ will also remain somewhere. How do I explain this?’
…why is this real?
no. A future like this is unacceptable. I feel like my head is going to explode with this member alone, but there are outside intruders and a monster similar to them is coming?
‘What is the explanation? It’s the first time I’ve been inside Tantalus, so what’s the explanation? Let’s leave it as a pleasure then.’
lie. It is a lie. It can’t be.
I glanced around at Aji.
“Ah. Did you really not eat?”
“no!”
“Don’t just say no… Aw. What are you talking about?”
As always, he only felt the difference between man and beast and shook his head.
Even if I could read the thoughts of this mutt, nothing would have changed. I’ll hold you to the end
After all, there is only one way.
I have no choice but to arrest you as a criminal.
You have to catch the moment when this mutt covets the pot. Only then can it be fully driven.
Let’s open one more canned food. The conclusion is tonight. When the day lights go out and only the night lights dimly illuminate the prison.
Then, grab this mutt.
I twisted my lips gloomily and looked down at Aji, who glared at me in response. It was like sparks flew out of each other’s eyes.
‘Are those two on good terms or bad?’
What defines the relationship between humans and dogs? When it’s good it’s good, when it’s bad it’s bad.
Let’s see, bitch.
It was when I growled like that. The regressor abruptly turned his head, narrowed his brows, and stared intently at a certain place. As if to represent her vigilance, the angel wept thinly.
‘for a moment. I sensed something from the inside.’
oh please don’t It’s really scary. For some reason, it seems like it’s real because it’s your hunch. Even I sleep on the same floor. In a narrow, dark room perfect for ghosts to visit.
What if I am attacked at night? I don’t have any warning alarms. Hmm.
No alarm, but a guard dog.
I looked back and said softly.
“Oh, do you want to sleep together today?”
“Wow!”
