Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 28

EP.28 Resistance – 3

The Resistance members left for their respective places, and Aji and I were left alone while Delta stood apart from us, holding on to his gun. He said to me and Aji with a lot of strength in his hands.

“…Please wait here. The captain will come back when he finishes everything.”

“iced coffee. yes.”

ruler. all scattered It’s a very good situation. Kanisen and Gamma left for the management office, and Alpha and Beta headed to the hell they had prepared for each other.

Now, as long as I clear the Delta, there is no one to disturb me.

Let’s start working.

He changes face and smiles awkwardly. Trying to appear as harmless as possible, I casually spoke to Delta.

“oh my. My legs are all shaking. We just had a conversation, but I was exhausted as if I had just exercised.”

“…Since the captain has a strong spirit, it’s not too much of a stretch to run out of energy.”

“You are doing great. It wouldn’t be easy to follow someone like that.”

“…I have to. Even so, the captain tends to lead us well. This operation would not have been possible without the captain showing his wit.”

Let’s see.

Although she is answering my words sincerely, her vigilance is focused on Aji. No wonder. I’m more afraid of the kid who snatches bullets with his teeth than me who doesn’t have any special equipment and looks weak.

That mindset will be your biggest weakness.

“Hey, can you put down the gun now? It’s not like Aji hurts people.”

“…but.”

“But and what. You just saw it. It’s because he has a crazy ability to grab a gun with his teeth when he shoots. There is no point in pointing a gun.”

I pointed at Aji. Aji, who seemed excited because a lot of people came just before, was now sitting still with a gloomy expression on his face.

I don’t know why. It must be for dog reasons.

Of course, in the midst of that, there seemed to be no fear of guns at all. Even if you fire it, you can catch it with your mouth, so should you be afraid? It’s fortunate if you don’t just play with guns thinking bullets are a bit fast balls.

“I’ve been with Aji for a few days, so I know he’s strong, but he’s not very dangerous. At first, I was scared and ran away, but at some point I got used to it. Now look.”

I picked up the leather ball I had put down earlier. As I held it high and swung it from side to side, Aji’s tail started to wag from side to side before anything else. Then Aji’s head turned and he looked at me blankly before raising his head and standing up.

I tossed the leather ball and shouted.

“ruler! Come ask!”

“bruise!”

Aji ran after the ball. Delta, who could not keep up with the situation, was shocked and raised the muzzle half a beat late.

“What are you doing now!”

“bruise!”

However, Delta’s concerns were put to shame, and Aji returned straight to me after biting the ball. He drops the ball at my feet and looks up proudly. I put my hand down and stroked Aji. Aji half closed his eyes and enjoyed my touch.

It was not a sight to be wary of. Even Delta, who was quite thorough and principled, muttered incredulously.

“…Can I do this?”

The muzzle is down. It’s because the tension has eased a little.

I vigorously stroked Aji, trying to look as harmless as possible.

“Actually, I don’t even know. It just happened like this at some point.”

“No matter how much you are a dog beast, you are human… even if it is instinct.”

“That’s why I didn’t press it with force, did I? Rather, it is the position I serve. Throw the ball, pick it up and throw it again. In the meantime, it’s okay to be happy.”

“That is true.”

“I wonder if the relationship between Delta-nim and the captain is similar. In terms of power, it’s the difference between heaven and earth. Regardless of strength, we just got used to each other.”

“hmm.”

Delta seemed to realize now how stupid it was to be wary of Aji. It was because I couldn’t feel a bit of a sense of crisis from the happy and purring look of each and every one of my touches.

I continued stroking Aji, creating an idyllic scene.

“When I first fell here after being arrested by the military, I was so scared and scared, but thinking about it now, I’m glad it’s here. It’s peaceful except that you could be killed by the trainees if you don’t.”

“Peace. It’s not a word suitable for Tantalus.”

“Actually, I feel that way. It could be because all the people who are going to break out have escaped.”

He paused for a moment and muttered with slightly melancholy eyes.

“If this place had been the hell as rumored, no matter how much the military might have, it wouldn’t have sent an ordinary petty criminal like me.”

Emphasize that he is a criminal. Despite the appeal of being incompetent, I secretly show the attitude that I am a person with very common sense.

take it get caught

Then, as expected, Delta showed curiosity.

“For what crime were you arrested?”

it took

Having drawn out the question I wanted, I deliberately looked into the air and muttered.

“I was originally a magician. His job was to entertain people with magic tricks in the back alleys. My income is insignificant, but I was satisfied every time I saw the faces of people who were amazed. however.”

Pretending to be thinking deeply, he stopped breathing and said.

“uh. a week ago Suddenly, soldiers came and took people at random. I was also checked while playing a card game with my friends…”

“That was then. You too have been caught unfairly.”

When I blurted out my words, Delta misunderstood me on its own. He, too, was lost in thought as I was.

‘Use the innocent as slaves. Also, the military is not right. It’s okay to collapse. But for that, we, who will eventually drive the innocent to death… are we right?’

It’s a good flow. I added a comment vaguely scratching my head.

“Ahaha. It’s not completely embarrassing. I also did some magic in the card game. haha.”

“…that.”

‘Was he a gambler?’

The expression gets a little worse. It is because he was born with a steady type, so his perception of gambling has gone to rock bottom.

A spoonful of reflection here. The emotion properly added to the solid background makes me a three-dimensional person.

“I trusted my petty talent and messed around too much. Magic is the most valuable law when it exists as magic.”

Saying that, he gently raised the card. Delta noticed the existence of the white card and opened its eyes.

“Where did you get it?”

“Maybe it’s because I was born a magician, but I felt uneasy when I didn’t have a hidden card in my hand. So I somehow got one.”

Paralac. A card danced under his finger. The back of the palm of the left hand and the right hand. The cards move around like bugs crawling on your hand.

At some point, when I spread my hands out, it disappeared in an instant as if it never existed in the first place.

Actually, I can clearly see the card attached to the back of my hand, but if it disappears in Delta’s eyes, then it’s gone.

Delta was genuinely intrigued.

“No, I don’t even have a sleeve to hide, so how could the card…”

“Haha. You have to be at this level to be called a magician.”

Turning your palm over, slide the card that was attached to the back of your hand with your thumb and move it to your palm. Hide the card in your palm while showing Delta the back of your hand. If he puts the card back while holding out his palm again, it appears to Delta that the card is completely gone.

“Oh oh.”

Intrigued enough. I raised my left index finger and slowly took out the card on the back of my right hand and showed it to him with a grin. Delta was clapping involuntarily.

good reaction. I smiled and scratched my head as if this gaze was embarrassing.

“But it was more useless when playing card games than I thought. Even if my hand skills are amazing, I can’t stop people from doubting me.”

“It’s like thin. If it were me, I wouldn’t have doubted it at all.”

“When you lose a few bucks, you get doubts that you never had before. Even if I lose a few tens of dollars, they grab my wrist. Their eyes were stained with anger and suspicion. My eyes were blinded for a moment and I lost sight of the essence of magic, which is to entertain people.”

I grabbed my card and shrugged.

“I lost my original intention and got caught. How did Delta-sama become the Resistance?”

“I…”

My question pierced his psychological loophole. Delta was immersed in reminiscence without much suspicion.

“My real name is Elsie. I used to study well from a young age. I entered a secondary military school according to my parents’ wishes, but even there I kept repeating myself. Is what I am doing the right thing or is the military policy right? But the military doesn’t allow that kind of discussion. I don’t think it’s because we can’t discuss right and wrong for the sake of order…”

“So you participated in the resistance?”

“That’s right. At least in Resistance, I was able to express the way the country would go. I was able to find many like-minded comrades. It’s just…”

‘I still don’t know if resistance is right at the expense of ordinary people.’

Delta, codenamed Elsie, was thoughtful. I waited for him to calm down enough and said.

“It could cost you your life.”

“I am not afraid to die. I am just worried about whether I am on the right track.”

“It would be the right direction. Have you thought about it enough?”

“Worrying about it isn’t always right.”

“It is more likely to be right than not to do it. Humans can’t be perfect, so wouldn’t it be better to pursue the possibility?”

“…Thank you for your words.”

“I can’t help but say something. A street magician has nothing but words to boast about, other than dexterity.”

After reading Delta, I took out the card again with a gentle smile.

“now. The difficult story is about that. I’ll show you something fun. Originally, I don’t reveal it well, but I think this is a fate, so I’m going to reveal it specially.”

After coming out of the flashback, Delta looked at my card with expectant eyes. Catching his attention, I turned over a card with a magician’s smile.

“This is a trick related to magic tools, so originally, it should never be revealed.”

“Is it because it’s a source of money?”

“haha. Although that too. The moment I reveal this, doubts sprout in people’s heads before mysteries. They see magic not as something to enjoy, but as something to dig up and dismantle. From then on, magic becomes not sorcery but savagery. There is no reverence or pleasure in that gaze. There is only a fierce confrontation between the audience and the magician.”

Gather magic power at the fingertips. Mana permeates into the card through the fingertips. The back of the card with a strange pattern engraved on it. A faint light shimmered along the path.

“But those who know the secret will inevitably find the bamboo forest. After all, this place is abyss. This must be a fate, I will only tell you.”

Slip the card between your index and middle fingers onto your left wrist. Then, he spreads his palms and covers his eyes for a moment.

Right after that, he flipped his left wrist and right hand at the same time – showing the ‘thing’ that was a card.

A card that was clearly a diamond 1. Where it should be – there was a pointed skewer glowing with dark red light.

“Voila!”

“Oh oh!”

He swung the skewer he had made. Every time I do that, I hear the sound of the wind cutting. It shows that it is not a trick or hallucination, but a skewer with a clear shape.

I said hello while pretending to take off my missing hat. Delta clapped her hands in admiration.

“Is that alchemy?”

“You have a good eye. I was trying to make it clear.”

“No, it is a very swift and stealthy alchemy. I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t seen it up close.”

“It’s not normal alchemy. This card is an alchemy-made item modeled after a clothing packet. So like this. If you put mana through the biological end.”

Again, the stick is rubbed against the wrist of the left hand where the biometric terminal is located. Then the skewer disappeared as if it never existed. When I raised my palm again, there was a diamond 1 returned to the card.

exclamation of admiration. I said proudly.

“It can be a card or a stick. Originally, I would attach seasonal flowers to the end of a stick and hold it out, but no matter how much of a magician I am, I couldn’t find a letter from the Earth Mother from the abyss.”

Delta looked down at my card with curious eyes. There was not a trace of vigilance left in his eyes, dazzled by card magic.

he murmured.

“Sorry. It would have been much better if I had seen it from the outside.”

“haha. If you had seen it from the outside, you wouldn’t have revealed the secret. ah! this. Card disappeared? Where did you go? oh wait What is that on Delta-sama’s head?”

Of course, this too is part of the magic.

If you’ve been through a series of streams, you can’t help but think that way. So Delta didn’t even feel the need to be vigilant. I casually reached out my hand. Delta stayed still while I got closer.

‘What kind of magic is this again?’

Seeing him looking forward to it, I smiled.

Turning the cards into skewers.

It was inserted into his temple.

His head is pushed aside. A look of wonder rises on the face that was full of interest. Then, with a restless head, you realize what has happened a beat later.

A sharp stick pierced through his temple. The damaged head desperately gives out a warning.

I shouted at him with my arms outstretched.

“Tada! Disappearing magic!”
