Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 397
#397. really crazy

‘I was too impatient.’
A researcher at the Moscow State Munitions Factory.
A first-class citizen in the top 1% of the Russian Khanate.
At the same time, a member of the revolutionary army who secretly stole the latest technology and weapons from the factory.
Bachemensky was regretting it.
I’m not talking about the fact that I was blinded by Ainsha’s talent and hastily recommended her to join.
The act of abducting her and Limon in a fit of panic at the sight of her face.
‘If I had just stepped back then, this situation wouldn’t have been created…’
I would have been able to proceed with the investigation more safely if I had gone over from the front and secretly dug into the back.
The situation was bad because they kidnapped them.
Of course, the biggest victims of this situation were Limon and Ainsha, who were kidnapped out of nowhere.
Because of such an apologetic heart, Bachemensky took care of the two as much as possible in many ways, including food, clothing and shelter, even while in confinement.
…No, I was going to take care of it.
The problem is that these two siblings had many things that went against common sense.
“I don’t need another room.”
“huh?”
“yes?”
“Me and Reno siblings. One room is enough.”
“Anyway, wouldn’t it be a bit uncomfortable for the two of you to share this small room…?”
Bachemenski, who tried to move Ainsha’s room as a favor, was rejected without hesitation.
The room where the two are confined is a place made for confinement from the beginning.
Because of that, it was as strong as it was very narrow, so even if you were alone, if you were to live together, you could not help but touch your body.
“That makes it even better.”
“…yes?”
“Reno is out of luck. When I’m not by your side, you get anxious. So the closer the better.”
“Is that so?”
Bachemensky’s eyes twitched.
It was because he remembered that even when he was working at the factory, Limon would come to check on Ainsha whenever he had a chance.
It took a while to get bloody hair on his forehead after receiving his mysterious gaze as if he was looking at an older brother with no arms.
Limon immediately smiled.
“Yeah, to be honest, I get a little anxious when my sister isn’t around. As you know, he has a lot of accidents.”
“I understand that, but…”
“Besides, my sister is so childish that she can’t even change her clothes properly without me. It hasn’t been long since I’ve been able to run errands by myself.”
“At this age?!”
“I don’t know the front, but the back is framed. It just woke up from an egg…”
Kwak.
“…Lee, it hurts.”
“Anyway, thank you for your consideration, but for now, I’ll stay like this. So please move rooms only after our misunderstanding is resolved.”
“Ah yes. All right.”
Limon clamped Ainsha’s face with an iron claw and smiled refreshingly.
It’s definitely a smiling face.
Seeing his strangely pressured appearance, Bachemensky had no choice but to nod and back away.
While looking at the two siblings with young subtle eyes.
Even while Bachemensky was watching the white-haired man and woman more and more, the revolutionary army hurriedly moved.
First of all, after faking an acute flu, he faked a vacation, and in the meantime, he started a reinvestigation of the two siblings.
Of course, I had done research before, but this time it was on a different level.
Government offices and newspapers, of course.
Even Okrana’s data was stolen and the history of the siblings, Limanov Koshkin and Elshar Koshkin, was scrutinized.
family and acquaintances.
the place where you lived before.
A connection that worked in a factory.
What do you think about government in general?
After literally checking and reviewing all kinds of information, they found one thing.
[It’s neat.]
“Are you saying there’s nothing suspicious about it?”
[Yes. The problem is that even if the records about them are clean, they are too clean.]
In this Russian Khanate, data and testimonies can be manipulated as much as you like.
Even more so if Okrana is involved.
Because it was their specialty to dig up information about the anti-government forces by planting elaborately camouflaged Frakchi.
Even if the past is clean, I can’t believe it.
It’s harder to believe if there’s a blemish.
It was the fear of Okrana, called the secret police, that sowed distrust, dwindled its activities and eventually destroyed its power itself.
[Still, one thing is certain.]
“Which one?”
[At least that she is not the same person as the dictator. It was confirmed that the Great Khan was in the Kremlin at the same time.]
“…That’s fortunate.”
Hearing the man’s assertion, Bachemensky was relieved.
Of course, I didn’t think that Ainsha, who seemed to have a screw missing, would be that terrifying dictator, but the weight of what was confirmed was different.
[The person who can be questioned by the Supreme Court is a singing pure white…]
“You mean the priest of the Shinseon League? The world’s greatest prophet?”
[According to the data obtained so far, it is clear that she also looks similar to the dictator.]
“But isn’t there any reason for her to hide her identity and get a job at our factory?”
[It’s as you said.]
It’s the same Seven Dragons, but that’s all.
How different the seven clans have behaved so far.
For those in the know, it was not even worth considering that the White Dragon was working for the Russian government.
“Maybe everything could be a coincidence. If there are two of the same person, there may be three.”
[Or it could be that Okrana deliberately confuses us by finding or plasticizing someone who looks just like the dictator.]
“…That means you can’t prove your innocence after all.”
Bachemensky narrowed his brows.
If it had been before contact, I would have made the choice to keep a distance and watch.
Because Ainsha had already been kidnapped and imprisoned, so he couldn’t just observe and doubt forever.
That’s why I can’t trust her right away and let her go.
It was indeed a quandary.
[No, fortunately there is one way.]
“Really?”
[That’s right.]
However, the man simply denied Bachemensky’s concerns.
And the lowly asserted.
[If they really are the dictator’s pawns, they will definitely be exposed if they use this method.]

“…So?”
A long time to remain silent.
Limon asked with a face that didn’t know if he was dumbfounded or stupefied.
“Is that why you came to see us, Sergei Vladinov?”
“Yes.”
auburn hair.
bushy beard.
Up to the big size there.
This reminds me of the impression of seeing a single brown bear.
The man who was usually called ‘teacher’ by his colleagues.
Seeing Sergei and Bachemensky behind him, who couldn’t hide his nervousness, Limon made an even more absurd expression.
Of course, he wasn’t the type to be honored that someone of a higher status had come to see him.
Even if the target is the leader of the revolutionary army with a bounty of one billion units.
Still, I was surprised for one reason.
It was because of an object that Sergei had put on the table as soon as he met them.
“Anyway, why are you giving us guns in the first place?”
Of course it was loaded with ammunition.
Looking at the pistol for great players with the mark of the Moscow state-run munitions factory, Limon asked shyly.
Sergey answered in a heavy voice.
“If you were the dictator’s dog, they would shoot me right here.”
“…do you want to die?”
“Of course I have no intention of dying. I just chose it because there is no other way to believe in you guys.”
he said softly.
Whatever the identities of Limon and Ainsha are.
If the purpose was to destroy the revolutionary army, there was no better opportunity than this.
Sergei, who has been active as the leader of the revolutionary army for the past 10 years, is a symbol of the revolution.
Even if they stopped, half of the revolutionary army would collapse.
As long as he carried Sergei’s head, success in the Russian Khanate and fame and fortune were guaranteed.
“As you can see, the only ones here are Brother Bachemensky, so it should be easy to kill me and get away.”
“…If this is the condition, I think I’ll want to put a bullet in the back of your head and turn back, even if I’m not an okrana, but a revolutionary soldier, right?”
“Then my fate would end there.”
“Oh yeah?”
For Ichigo, who gambles with his own life, look at his calm eyes and frown for a moment.
Limon picked up a handgun from the table.
Then, after checking the loading of the bullet by pulling the bolt, he aimed it at Sergei.
Taaaaang!!
A blaring gunshot.
Broken and fluttering hair.
Even Vezemensky, who was watching from behind, trembled with a pale face.
Indeed, Sergei, who had just passed by his ear, did not raise an eyebrow.
I just said it in a heavy voice.
“You look used to handling a gun, but your aim is messed up. If it’s hard to hit, just put the muzzle between my forehead and shoot.”
“…You’re really crazy, you.”
“He who wants to deal with a monster has to be a monster.”
“Well, then it’s worth going crazy.”
After all, it’s time to stick out your tongue at the words of the person who has been plotting a revolution against Yekatrice.
Limon set the pistol he was holding down on the table and swung it back at Sergei.
drooling.
“If you don’t kill me and return the gun, does that mean you are willing to cooperate with our revolutionary army?”
Limon crossed his arms and answered Sergei’s calm question as he took the gun back.
“It will depend on your intentions.”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t be shy, revolutionary man. Couldn’t you have done this every time you tried to recruit a new colleague?”
Limon snorted.
To be honest, Sergei’s act of risking his life to see if he and Ainsha were spies was not something he would do sanely.
But if Sergei had really been a simple lunatic, he would have been killed or arrested long ago.
The fact that he escaped the eyes of the silver dragon clan and survived was proof of his prudence.
Why did you do such a reckless thing anyway?
At Limon’s sharp point, Sergei opened his mouth after silence.
“Let me be honest. I want Sister Elshar to do something very important for our Revolutionary Army.”
“Are you asking me to make a new weapon that can bring about a revolution at once?”
“Of course, in the long run, I would also like to see such cooperation. But what we need right now is Sister Elshar’s looks, not her wisdom.”
“…what are you going to do to my brother?”
That moment.
Limon frowned.
I didn’t think that simple recruiting was the goal, but it was because I felt very uneasy when I mentioned Ainsha’s appearance openly.
That intuition was exactly right.
The thing Sergei brought up while looking at Ainsha was really absurd.
“I want Sister Elshar to infiltrate the Kremlin Palace disguised as Catherine.”
“…Reno, that ear seems to be wrong. I hear a strange noise.”
Is it because I was so stupid?
Ainsha muttered with an expressionless face, forgetting Limon’s request to keep her mouth shut.
Limon couldn’t blame her.
He was lost because he was the same.
“Are you going to disguise my brother as the Great Khan?”
“For now, it is.”
“Are you really crazy? There’s no way something like that would be possible.”
“It’s possible. All I ask of her is contact with our savior who may be there.”
“…Messiah?”
“Yes.”
Limon hardened his face.
While Ainsha, who had already heard what would be said through her wisdom, blinked her eyes with an expressionless face.
Sergei revealed his purpose with a serious face.
“Lord Limon Aspelder, the hero who defeated the ruthless oppressor Swordsman 80 years ago and saved us.”
