Chapter 17. Desertion (7)
* * * * *
Virginia wanted to give it a chance.
Leticia is the perfect lieutenant in many ways. He is a person who has shown with his whole body that ‘soldiers from Elsa are indolent and lazy’ is a complete prejudice.
And people, especially those who seem perfect to others, hide a deeper and deeper quagmire behind them. Whether people are good or bad, that’s balance.
There were no major flaws in the investigation conducted in secret. Suffering from frustration and a need for recognition? There is no soldier anywhere who doesn’t have that. Do you binge drink? It was not at a level that interfered with work.
Leticia changed little by little after meeting a certain ‘man’.
Regardless of age and gender, many people approach lonely soldiers. From parasite-like people trying to steal military pensions to spies trying to obtain competent information.
Competent intelligence officers like Leticia are also the main recruitment targets of the Erza Liberation Corps. Virginia also thought that the guy who contacted Leticia was that kind of bastard.
‘Why on earth am I getting so into it?’
No matter how you look at him, he was a worthless guy. He brought her good drinks, spoke kind words and had pleasant conversations at least once every two or three days, if not every day, and was always at the level of being polite even as Leticia sent her increasingly bold photos.
Then, in the operation to arrest Cassandra, Leticia crossed the line.
At first, Virginia didn’t know that the tights pervert was Leticia. It was only after investigating, deducing, and tracking the robber’s subsequent actions more than before that I realized it.
Flexible body movements, penetrative power to accurately see through the deployment of the national military police, and even specific parts of the body where ‘real tights perversion’ was filmed. All conditions met Leticia.
‘Should I be punished? With what? Disturbance of morals? Home invasion?
The grounds for punishing Leticia were weak. But the benefits of just leaving it alone were greater. Leticia’s bizarre actions further strengthened the national military police’s border operation capabilities and played a major role in the creation of the Civil Defense Force.
I wasn’t too worried when people claiming to be perverts in tights appeared one by one. It was a very minor inflammation. Just as the body becomes stronger when subjected to a tolerable level of stress than living in a greenhouse, they played just that role.
Leticia solved the difficult problem of arresting herself by ‘setting up a border so tight that she could no longer do anything about it, and breaking through that border herself.’
For example, it was like chess played alone. Even Virgina was secretly amazed at his acuity.
But now the fun is over.
The world is changing. Cities are closing their doors to each other. A subtle current flows even among the commanders of the National Military Police. Some are already sending supply detachments into non-human protected areas, even into protected but largely uninhabited areas.
Hampton has not yet reached that point. Because it has the symbolism of being the largest city in the south-central region, a relatively large amount of supplies have been supplied, and thanks to Leticia’s crackdown, control is still strong. It was thanks to Leticia that nothing was said about sensitive issues such as food distribution.
But now, it is time to move forward based on the strength we have accumulated. The moment Virginia had been waiting for. After receiving the baptism of fire in Minsk, a western country, and being reborn in Elsa, I heard a voice deep within me.
New order.
A new era.
For that, Leticia was needed. So she gave her a nice apartment and a high position commensurate with her abilities. Now, Leticia is the third-in-command after Captain Minto, who took off his military uniform and transformed into a politician, and Virginia, who became the commander of the National Military Police.
But I can’t stay here. Virginia’s ambitions are bigger. So Leticia should also be in a higher position.
For that to happen, we must stop engaging in trivial pastimes. You just have to kill one person, just one person. He is not an innocent person either. All you have to do is kill one of the followers of the tights pervert who has clearly committed a criminal act. This was the greatest mercy Virginia could think of and the strongest warning to Leticia.
I thought so.
Until an almost naked man walks out of the hallway of Leticia’s apartment, yawning.
“Ah, Letty, you’re already awake… “
Virginia and the man’s eyes met.
‘What is it?’
I’m sure I’ve seen this snow somewhere before. But I couldn’t remember where I saw it. Wide open shoulders. Well-proportioned and lean-looking, but not overly muscular. And a pretty big presence down there.
“Sorry! “I didn’t know we had guests!”
It was only for a short time. However, the man’s outline was vividly imprinted, as if a flash had gone off and left an afterimage. Virginia turned her head and covered her face. As if her shame was her own.
“Who, who…” ?”
I glanced between my fingers. Leticia’s face was red. She seemed to be stamping her feet without knowing what to do.
The man who disappeared inside came out wearing a bathrobe. However, his belt was not fastened properly, so the inside was fluttering and it was barely visible.
“… Sorry. Captain. I should have told you sooner. This is my… my… “
“Boyfriend.”
“Eck.”
A strange sound came from the adjutant’s mouth. Virginia just couldn’t come to her senses. Her eyes were spinning before her eyes. I couldn’t even understand why that man kept sitting on the sofa and trying to spread his legs wide.
“That’s right. I am Leti’s… “I am a lover.”
“Hi!”
It’s him. This is the guy that Leti died and couldn’t survive. Virginia’s reason recognized that. But his broken body just couldn’t work. Should I be arrested? With what? Should I press on? On what basis? If. I wonder if you are V.
Virginia tried to say, ‘Haven’t we seen this somewhere before?’ He would have asked if the man hadn’t lifted his hand to caress Letty’s cheek and pulled her towards him.
“What do you mean, Letty? We had a good time last night. “Am I the only one who thought that?”
“Oh, no! No! That, that. That’s not what I meant, ah. What should I do if this happens here? “It’s embarrassing!”
“But love is wonderful. “People who don’t know that are unhappy.”
‘Stop it. ‘I told you to stop.’ Virginia panicked. Even as she was struggling, she watched as if fascinated as the two people’s faces got closer and closer. She also saw the man’s hand fluttering in the air, gently squeezing one side of Leticia’s large buttocks.
“Huh, huh…” “
“I, I’m done!” See you tomorrow!”
Virginia was flustered. She ran out of the apartment, unable to even put on her coat, with it stuck to her side. Her heart was pounding and her face was bright red. But she was a cool-headed person of reason, and she constantly searched and searched for it.
I’m sure I’ve seen this guy somewhere. Those eyes. I couldn’t see his face properly, but I clearly remember those eyes. Okay. I saw it in that car. The eyes seen through the bulletproof glass plate of an illegally modified car.
V’s eyes.
Virginia gritted her teeth and played with her waist. She was a mistake. She had only intended to come to Leticia to warn her, so she left her weapon behind. Since it was supposed to be a secret meeting, she brought her own car and of course there was no pager.
So Virginia ran to the car.
“I need to catch all these damn lovers.”
Leticia. How could Leticia do this to herself? If she had someone in the house, shouldn’t she have told them?
* * * * *
“Caesar. You.”
Leticia was devastated. Because she showed Caesar what she found in her dressing room. Tights. Smoke shell. Whip. Handcuffs. These are all tools she used during her nightly entertainment.
“… You… “Who are you?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“And what about you?”
Leticia shook her head. Virginia is unknown to everyone in the Hamptons, and perhaps even across the country. Because his appearance is so outstanding and unique. Since such a person referred to himself as ‘adjutant’, it cannot be hidden.
“Leticia. She was originally an adjutant in the intelligence department of the National Military Police. She’s doing so many temporary jobs now that she’s confused about what my job title is. And… Okay, stop shaking that thing!”
At the same time as he spoke, he moved quickly. She pushed away Caesar, who was waving his tights around, and she grabbed his pistol. Impulsively, Leticia aimed her pistol at Caesar.
“You. Then what on earth are you? I knew you were deceiving me. Because I said a lot of unreasonable things. You don’t have a weakness for those women. It wasn’t that I couldn’t get out. That’s right?”
“Oh, not really.”
The man who was Caesar shrugged his shoulders and put down his tights. He didn’t even lift a weapon. I just unfastened the belt of my bathrobe.
“Caesar is a pseudonym. “My real name is Johan.”
“John, what on earth are you doing with these two women, Cassandra and Camilla?”
“Vaccine development.”
“Funny… “
Is this a funny thing? Leticia thought about the items that Caesar, or rather John, had requested from her one by one. It was either medical-related or food-related.
“Did you approach me on purpose?”
“No. I just wanted to have a business partner in the black market. But the only thing that came out was you. Of course I had no intention of playing with it. I now know that it is the Ministry of Intelligence and that it has such a high status in Hampton. And.”
“And?”
“And I know for sure that you saved my life. “If you hadn’t put on this funny outfit and fired a smoke bomb that day, all three of us would have died.”
“Oh, don’t come.”
Leticia tried to aim her gun. But it was impossible. John approached Leticia, pushing his gun to his chest. It was Leticia who was pushed into the wall while holding a gun.
“I’m going to shoot.”
“Shoot.”
“I’m really going to shoot!”
“Instead, give me some time to show my gratitude.”
Ah.
I was really caught wrong.
Leticia kissed her while holding her pistol.
