41 – Ordinary Hearing in the Lobby 2
Victor is weighed down by a self-inflicted disaster.
And I quietly found a comfortable chair and sat down.
Kikkik. And the cushion that had not yet been turned off let out the pleasant coolness that had been harboring inside.
Thanks to that, it didn’t hurt that much even when I leaned back.
“Mmm, lovely.”
As I watched poor Victor get bitten by piranhas, taking refuge from the murmur in the distance, I heard a voice behind me.
“So, okay.”
At some point, Vieri, who came behind me, asked.
“What’s your relationship with the leader of Priyanian’s squad?”
“At least I can give her black lingerie and tell her we’re not slapping each other.”
“Damn it.”
“That’s what I’m going to say. No, you sold me out even though you reconciled with Mr. Mary at the inn?”
“That’s why I bought stew and bread.”
“I didn’t ask for the bread, you gave it as a service. Don’t even think about subtly adding it to the commission fee.”
Vieri tried to sit on the chair next to her, but after a moment’s change in expression, he returned to another chair.
“You weren’t stabbed, right?”
I didn’t sit on that chair because the nail head protruded.
“Damn it. Won’t you tell me?”
“That?”
This is the chair you chose, you should have chosen it yourself.
“Damn it.”
Vieri grumbled and sat down in her chair.
“By the way, P-“
“Is it true that things are going well with Mary? 3 Days or 6 days? I don’t even remember.”
“I don’t know, dude. By the way, how was the corps escort?”
To that question, I decided to give the same answer as Vieri.
“I don’t know, dude.”
I wasn’t planning on taking on any missions, at least for the time being.
Because it was very difficult to promote while doubting everything.
Even if what we were worried about actually happened and it wasn’t just a rumor.
So I just blankly stared into the lobby.
Tak, tak. Amidst the noise from behind, the nth hearing was being held in front of me.
“No, you bastards. Aren’t I like that?”
“Ah! That day, I heard the sound of the mill at the watermill, but it is a pity that no one pounded the mill.”
I couldn’t stand it when I heard that.
So, I took the words of an unknown person and said one more thing.
“Those who have lost love are speechless, and those who have forgotten love have forgotten the night, so I am left speechless. Wounded Banga forgot to say.”
Cheers rang out, and I felt relieved.
“As expected, people should do what they say.”
“Hey, you bastard! Were you there?”
Victor noticed my presence.
But he couldn’t get out of the crowd.
Originally, I should have run away by now, but I didn’t want to do that now.
“But that’s no fun, so I’ll talk for you!”
So I was caught anyway, so I got up from my chair and shouted.
“Why!”
Victor asked.
“Why?”
Two questions are out of the air, and we all know the answer.
To the extent that the victim who asked me also knew the answer.
So, they shouted together.
“Because it’s okay if it’s not me!!!”
I also responded to them.
“Yes! It’s okay if it’s not just me!!!”
For some reason, I felt a bit relieved.
That’s why I tried to get on top of the table.
If it weren’t for the threatening sounds that sounded like sniffs and snorts..
“Just go up. I’ll split your leg as it is.”
Old man Northern, the cleaning man who was watching me from the side, growled as he held the mop like a buddy shoe.
You don’t know showmanship.
“So I will ask again!”
So I just stood up and asked. Because my legs were precious.
“Comrade, can you hear me? The voice that sweetly whispered love!”
Cheers resounded again, and shouts came towards me.
“I can hear you!”
“Can you hear the sound of the mill that day!”
“Ouch, you son of a b*tch!”
“I can hear you!”
Group madness always causes hallucinations.
That’s why we can all imagine a tryst at night under the midday sun.
I can hear you!
I was delighted with their affirmation that continued to echo like an echo.
“Yes! Is there a separate academy? Thinkbig’s field where creativity grows is open everywhere!!”
Vieri tutted at me.
“This guy has a problem with his mouth.”
I opened my mouth lightly ignoring the local broadcast.
“Come on. The injured Banga is speechless.”
Dude.
Everybody stopped talking.
But I wasn’t included in all of them.
“If he stays like this, he can fall into love sickness and suffer terrible things. If the wound is festering, you have to drain the pus, but he can’t do it himself.”
That’s why, I continued by subtly labeling him as the main character of a love affair.
At least it’s being called in a more healthy way than other titles, so he’ll be happy too.
“But who are we?”
“People who do everything for you!”
They knew very well what they were doing.
“Yes!! Murder or whatever, at least do it for me if I get paid! Because he is human, he has affection!!”
I said, banging my fist in the air.
“That’s why we are people who do everything for us! It is absolutely not a tool that does anything for you!!”
“……”
Victor was speechless.
You must not have been moved by my words, and it must have been a great shock for you to be beaten with words while trying to give it back.
Of course. If you agree with my agitation, that’s a real madman.
But that wasn’t what I knew.
“So to ask you a very simple question, Victor, who we now think of as our best colleague, is speechless. Can you see it?”
I see! I can see his dejection!!
They shouted.
From noble mtl dot com
“He can’t talk. But we do have a voice.”
So, I asked politely, pointing to the hand I was willing to extend to him.
“Should we be paid for doing his word?”
I asked again.
No! How can i get it!!
And they answered again.
“That’s enough for me!!”
“Then please don’t do it, you f*cking bastards!!”
Listening to them, Victor exclaimed.
“Of course, you can do it without receiving it!!!”
But everything was lightly ignored.
Because there are people here who were bullied by him. I see some friends who have never been like that.
Victor should know that too.
That’s why.
I’m willing to shake off these f*cking weird feelings.
In order to dispel the mental poverty that was dominating the lobby, I asked them again.
“Then what should we do!!”
The answer was not only known by water. I was also aware of the wave of people in front of me.
“Tell me instead! Listen instead!!”
A wave arose. The victim’s screams could not be heard as they quietly tumbled into the water and sank.
“And teasing in moderation!!!”
I listened to their answer and nodded.
I believe. You guys are great spectators.
I applauded inwardly and opened my mouth to see them appearing without any problems even if they were advertised right away and displayed on the screen of a movie theater.
“Today, you will hear a truly tragic story. Everyone sit down!”
***
The talk was over, and they silently flocked to Victor.
Then I headed for the front door.
Perhaps Victor, as usual, gets a free drink.
Today’s story will be the best accompaniment.
But behind the door that couldn’t be closed and the rumbling footsteps, I quietly went up the stairs.
Because once the stage curtain goes down, the bard must disappear.
Why?
“Because it is a promise.”
Kikkik, kiik.
I muttered to myself as I climbed the wooden stairs.
And the next place I had to go was somewhere else, not a bar.
Kikkik. Queek.
The place I had to go to, the single room that had been empty for a long time was at the far end of the third floor.
Since it was in the most remote place, I didn’t feel much of a crowd on the way.
Beans, beans.
“Are you there?”
I couldn’t feel any presence in the room.
It’s strange.
“Squad leader? It is G-House.”
Knock. Knock. Knock.
And.
“Knock, knock. Who are you?”
I heard a quiet whispering voice behind my back.
‘Oh sh*t. I was so freaked out.’
“Squad leader?”
“Good day. Mr. Ghouse.”
She stood quietly behind me, her usual appearance.
“But what happened here?”
The leader of the prianian squad asked.
I said with a sigh.
“Thank God. At least I didn’t hear the crossbow. But at the same time, it is unhappiness.”
“Unfortunate?”
The prianian squad leader asked rather coldly.
“Do you like having a crossbow pointed at the back of your head by any chance?”
At that distasteful nuance, I explained the reason for mentioning the crossbow after revealing that I absolutely did not like it.
“Because you said you might be able to laugh a little if you aim the crossbow the other day. It reminded me of that.”
It was a bit like gibberish.
And the answer, as always, was one.
“Oh, I see.”
It’s unfair, really.
“Then let’s put the crossbow aside and ask the matter again. What did you come here for?”
“I just came.”
“Someone else’s accommodation?”
“Do you have any special needs?”
Hearing her words, she thought for a moment before opening her mouth.
“I’ll give you five seconds.”
“Yes?”
Priyanian Squad Leader said with his face still hardened.
“Make a business in 5 seconds.”
“Wait a minute-“
“5,”
Ignoring my words, she started counting slowly.
4,
3,
2,
1.
After the count was over, I gave my answer with a smile.
“Enough.”
“Yes?”
A little bland reaction, she seemed taken aback.
“I checked the business that came here.”
I said pointing to her hand.
“You’re not shaking her hand. Even her fingernails are fine.”
And her face is still the same.
Priyanian’s squad leader raised his hand and asked.
“… Did she have to shake her hand?”
“No way.”
I shook my head.
At least it means that I am much better than a few days ago when I died.
“Speaking of the matter, I just came to check if the leader of the Priianian squad has found a way on his own, and if everything is okay.”
“Ah.”
Hearing my business, she stopped talking as if she remembered what she had said that day.
Anyway, she seemed to be doing better than expected.
I should go down and rest.
I had one last thing to say before heading back to the comfortable chair on the first floor.
“Now that I see that your squad leader is fine, there is no reason for me to be here any longer.”
“So you came all the way up here just to see if I’m okay?”
At that somewhat dumbfounded voice, I nodded.
“Isn’t Ms. Priyanian my squad leader? I can do this for you every once in a while.”
After saying that, she said hello.
“Let’s go. Take a break.”
And then I turned around and headed for the stairs.
Because I really had no other business.
“……”
I couldn’t hear anything behind my back.
While going down the stairs like that, I turned my head for a moment.
“After.”
The crossbow bolt didn’t fly.
At least, I guess the way she found it wasn’t to find her happiness by pointing a crossbow at my head.
I’m glad. Really.
