Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint 170

'… Oh my god. There are so many good things.'

'The morning is nice and the sun is warm. The wind is cool. The black tea is sweet, the blankets are cozy, and the food pleases the tongue.'

'People live together. We spend a tiring day in the dining room, leading our weary bodies to labor, sharing jokes with each other. You make friends with someone you just met, go home, raise your child, and fall asleep. In the quiet night, only their breathing is heard. The main building has experienced it all.'

'But there is tragedy in the world. Anna was attacked and seriously injured, men threatening even officers roam the streets, organizations quarreling in the dark, and some citizens slept the same, but couldn't wake up in the morning. Somewhere the main building doesn't know, more people will die.'

'There are accidents that cannot be avoided, but there are also many tragedies that can be prevented. Evil in particular that spreads chaos must be swiftly slain. The shadow of the military, and the magician. Outlaws who disturb society while hiding their identities.'

'In order to fulfill the duties of the main building. Even for him and her Anna.'

'Before the command of the main building is exhausted, I will exclude them.'

'… For that, I did.'

Returning home, the captain placed a stone on the emotion that was about to spring up.

Hold on, hold on. Her hard and heavy sense of duty suppresses her heart. Without knowing her master's heart, her puffy, puffy heart gradually calmed down, the heat drained from her head and her reason returned.

It looks more real. Shall we clear up the misunderstanding now?

“Captain, aren’t you sulking at what I said to get you out of the situation?”

“… .”

“I think Nehru was born as an animal, and if there is no meat in his mouth, he barks loudly, so I had no choice but to do it. So, with an open mind and generosity… .”

“denial.”

“yes? What are you denying?”

The captain looked around the room for a moment without answering.

Beds and sofas, lamps and lights. Even the carpet covering the floor and the bathroom door.

The captain, who glanced at every item once, made a firm determination and looked at me.

“The main building asks you for your cooperation.”

“Oh right. Did you say you asked for cooperation? But I am a person with a clear distinction between construction and construction. tell me I will listen to all the requirements and the cost and make a judgment.”

Once upon a time, I even did something similar to a solver. Cooperation? let me do it But, if you pay the price.

As if he had expected my reaction, the captain nodded without hesitation and said:

“The main building is trying to find a criminal organization called 'Military Shadow' and an outlaw called 'Magician'.”

“yes?”

oh. That's not okay. I'm a magician?

Is it the nature of a scoundrel? When the officer looked for me in front of me, my body stiffened as if I had become a mouse in front of a cat. Uh, can't this help? Do you have to insert the straitjacket packet yourself to help?

Then why all of a sudden?

“Why are they looking?”

“The main building is a soldier. What reason do soldiers need to monitor and arrest criminals?”

“That’s it, but… .”

Weren't you on vacation until you went back to headquarters?

If 'return before two weeks' is the condition, isn't it a virtue to enjoy the fun in society for two weeks and then return on the last day? Why are you trying to work on vacation?

It'll catch me too!

“The main building needs a collaborator who lives locally and is knowledgeable in geography and context. We also need to find a contact person who will pass on information on behalf of the main building if there is an unavoidable problem.”

“Are you going to tell me?”

“Positive.”

“It doesn't matter if we collaborate, but I don't work barefoot. Whatever you do, you get a certain price. I work for the money I receive, because that’s my motto.”

In other words, it means paying the price. The captain agreed without saying anything.

'I know. You were that kind of person. Even in the abyss, they would ask for a price for a small favor.'

haha. I know.

That's why it's important not to get caught up in the ordinary. You build up your image, so you think about the cost.

“But before that. I have one suggestion for you.”

hoo. Are you negotiating? You dare in front of me as a mind reader?

ruler. where. How long have you been looking for? From hazard pay to the cost of providing the labor force and the base. Hmm. It wouldn't be worth any money.

Let's read a little bit about what they offer… . If you put an unreasonable condition on it, you should cut it right away.

It was around the time I was about to read my thoughts.

“Marry the main building.”

“yes? I beg your pardon?”

Yeah? I beg your pardon?

The ability to read thoughts is the same as being deaf if you can't understand what you read.

While I was stunned, the captain held the naked hat to his chest and said seriously.

“The main building is well aware of the sudden remark. However, please listen to the main building slowly.”

I can't hear it, so I'm going to read my thoughts and dig up my memories. What circuit did you come up with like that? Is your first proposal coming out like this?

'The main building, the correspondent, has been discovered by you. He was supposed to kill himself or kill you immediately, but as he passed half of the military territory, the main building waited without taking any action. This is the negligence of the main building, there is nothing more to say.'

Ah, this pattern.

“The main building has been greatly indebted to you. You saved the life of the main building, provided shelter, and provided all the comforts. On the other hand, the main building offers you… .”

'I didn't kill him… will not be provided in return. In principle, the main building should have committed suicide. After all, thanks to your help, the main building has been given a few days' respite to mark the end of death… .'

“… None.”

I don't know.

Who suddenly knew someone so well?

“It’s weird, you know, but what does that have to do with it? Does it mean that I will be grateful that you will marry me and that I will support you for the rest of my life?”

“denial.”

The captain straightened his posture and raised his head straight. His eyes, as blue and transparent as the sky, were so clear that he didn't even want to read his thoughts.

“Currently, in the 10th division of the military, mysterious criminal organizations and outlaws are rampant. We're trying to get things right and wipe them out, even for you and those around you.”

like you… ? There are too many abilities that I have shown to say.

If you go to the Communications Headquarters without needing anything else and leak information properly, the organization will be destroyed. Golems hidden all over the place are tracking them down, so an ordinary criminal organization will never be able to stop them.

However, if you go to the Communications Headquarters with your identity uncovered, you will only commit suicide. He seemed to be determined to gather as much information as he could.

… if not. Or die fighting a criminal gang.

“You are doing a good job.”

“It is the duty of the head office. The main building will investigate the outlaws who are harassing the citizens of the military in the future, and will do everything possible to rule them out. However, the opponents are criminals who wield violence even on officers. In the course of the investigation, there may be threats to the safety of the main building. They have no laws or rules, so the main building could be murdered.”

I still don't think I want to live. The captain even boldly brought up the word that he was going to die.

“This is the main building's request for cooperation from you, and at the same time, it's a reward for helping the main building so far. If the main building dies, we need someone to pass on the information the main building has and the fact of the death to the authorities.”

“ah. So.”

Now I'm slowly getting to know Why did marriage talk come up there?

“If you die while on a mission, you will receive a death reward, so should you marry and receive the money that will disappear soon?”

“… .”

“Right?”

“… Positive.”

'That's all the main building can give you. The main building without immediate family cannot receive the funds, so I would like you to at least accept it.'

It's a life to die anyway.

With this as a premise, the captain investigates and tries to destroy the forces behind the attack on Anna and unrest in the citizens.

In the process, the desire to repay the debt to me jumped out, and then suddenly the story of marriage came out.

“It won't be a bad story for you either. If you let the main building know that you have actively cooperated in Tantalus, it will clear some of the charges against you.”

“You mean the military will clear the charges? It’s the most unreliable story in the world.”

“It is clear that you helped the main building and returned to Amittengrad. If the main building emphasizes that fact, the upper management will not blame it too much.”

“I’m going to drop level 0. Maybe I'll get arrested before I blame them.”

“No problem. When you marry a level 3 citizen, your spouse will be granted a level 2 citizen level temporarily. All you have to do is clear all your doubts while you are at level 2.”

I'm not too dissatisfied with the life of a level 0 mongrel, but the exemplary captain wanted me to go back to the sun.

“You are now washed away from all your sins and start a new life with sufficient wealth. This is the price the main building offers you.”

I'm married to you

Uh, thank you for the heart, and honestly, thank you for the money. a bit like that, isn't it?

“Hey, do you have to die? Isn't it okay to just do it in moderation and step back when you feel your life is in danger?”

The captain shook his head resolutely.

“The main building must fulfill its duties.”

The iron rule of a communicator is to keep the very existence itself an absolute secret.

I have only just learned the power of a signalman, so I can understand it to some extent.

It monitors an entire area from one sitting, receives all kinds of information at once and organizes it in an instant.

Synchronization magic, which transmits the country's confidential information or operations to other signalmen or units, is personally insignificant, but when used as a part of the country, it is a very powerful ability. Sending the command from the command center far away with no delay and no cost means that the entire army can move as agile as a single beast.

Telecommunications, information control, monitoring and management.

A communicator is the military's neural network. should never be revealed.

If another part is hit, only that part is damaged, and if there is a problem with the mana and signalmen, the huge state called the military will falter. Due to the nature of synchronization magic, a problem caused by one person spreads throughout the military, so the military has no choice but to be careful with the handling of signalmen.

As such, the military brainwashed the signalmen with their importance and duty.

Like the captain in front of me right now.

“You are almost certain to die.”

'denial. Even if there is a chance of surviving, the main building is not going to do that. Even if there is a spouse, the confidentiality of the correspondent must be maintained.'

The captain said something different from what he had in mind.

“Positive. It is such a dangerous thing.”

I know what you mean.

In the end, the few days we spent together gave you enough information about the joys of life, but that means that it wasn't enough to save you.

If so.

“… Captain. If so, wouldn't it be considered a false marriage for the purpose of death compensation?”

“It’s Kiwoo. It is an unwritten rule not to blame for a marriage that was rushed just before an unmarried soldier is dispatched to the saji.”

The reason is simple. to promote fraud.

When you die, you get a death reward. In a military state that can't even leave a legacy, death compensation paid to the remaining family is a great way to make soldiers prepare for death.

A soldier who is not prepared to die is a fool. Therefore, the military actively encourages marriage.

To increase the population and power, and at the same time to raise the morale of the soldiers.

“The main building is just to use that right.”

I understand the meaning. attitude too.

There is little to no harm done to me. All you have to do is stamp the wedding papers and you're done. I have no children, and my wife will soon disappear, so only the death benefit is paid. Isn't this irresponsible pleasure?

This is the military. Since there is no Seonghwangcheong, no one will point the finger at the divorce.

“A chance to cast off all charges for the death penalty of the captain. It's not a bad story for me, but… . I have a question.”

“Say it.”

Get married in disguise and take the price as a reward.

On the surface, this seems like a reasonable proposal, but there is one question.

Did Captain Abbie, a sincere and exemplary military correspondent, make such a claim purely for the sake of money?

How did the interview you had with Nehru influenced you, or did you change as a human being by meeting people from all over the street?

If you dig very, very deeply, you might find out.

not yet The captain did not get a life.

Let's leave it a little longer.

“Is this contract just a contract? Does it mean anything more than the death compensation I will receive?”

“Positive.”

The captain reacted immediately. It was an answer that seemed to have been prepared in advance, without any hesitation.

“Well, in my case, I also accept in kind or bills.”

For some reason, if I accept this, it seems to be trash in the world, but you know.

That one was supposed to give it first. I have only accepted sins.

I reached out to shake hands.

“like. We will cooperate. Captain.”

“I will leave it up to you.”

The captain held my hand and smiled softly.

'… It'll be fine. Lastly, even if you are a little more greedy.'

'The main building is a signalman and knows all kinds of information. From secrets you should never know to recipes for canned beans. I have most of the knowledge and information accessible to the military.'

'But there's still a lot we don't know about the main building.'

'The heartbeat you feel when you are held in your arms, or the shame that makes your face turn red. I feel sad every time I think of the death of the main building. And longing for those I will never see again. The main building still does not know its identity.'

'… May I know if I am married? If it's to change people so dramatically, if it's something that gives courage to a soldier heading to his limbs. Will the main building be different?'

'I heard that you should marry the person you want to be with for the rest of your life. If that's the case, then the main building is a pretty decent marriage.'

'He will not know the feelings of the main building. That's fortunate.'

'I won't be able to have children because I don't have time, but the main building… I even got married before I died.'

'The main building is probably the happiest signalman.'
