A teacher's grace is like heaven, but it is a true teacher's job to make the disciple accept such a saying as the truth. In that sense, I was a true teacher.
Seeing Sefi who had come to help the teacher who had gone out alone, I was overcome with emotion and shed tears.
“Hey. I had a good disciple. I see that the master is in danger, so he runs like a deokdal.”
It is worthwhile to have devoted my youth to nurturing it.
If you live in a back alley, you need at least one string. The world was not easy to live with only one mind reading, so I went to the host bar as soon as I arrived in Amittengrad with the intention of making connections.
It was really fortunate that I met the successor of the holding company there. Chuck, Sephi's tutor, and Sephi and her godfather, Alexei, moved to and fro, sipping honey sweetly.
Then, when Alexei showed signs of falling into the abyss, he quickly made a stop loss and joined Sepi.
Wow, now that I think about it, it was really good. Mind-reading is also useful to use like this.
Anyway. Shall I say a word of mouth to the disciple who has come to me now?
“I am impressed now. I can't believe that you have such deep feelings for your Master… . It is also worthwhile to raise it.”
“I wonder if my teacher only thinks of me.”
'What do you think? If you go, you'll follow me on your own, to the subject who ran away first without saying a word. Because I don't even think about the rest of the people at all.'
There is still a big gap between words and thoughts.
But after all, words are part of thinking. To be able to speak well means that I still have points that I have earned.
Anyway, if I've brought the power of Cheonui Mubong, I'm not in danger… .
what?
“But there is no one behind me. What about the rest of the troops?”
“Are you an army? We are a holding company. Only special workers for specialized labor can be hired. There is only Peto here that can even pretend to fight right now.”
Sepi pointed to Peto-senpai and said calmly. I asked back because I didn't find it funny.
“Is it all about a hanger with power on a horse?”
The senior, who suddenly became a clothes hanger, responded.
“What else are you doing with a hanger in front of people? .”
“yes. That hanger is everything.”
“The boss… no. I am a hanger.”
It's really just a hanger. It doesn't matter if anyone has the ability to wield a weapon while wearing armor without falling off a horse.
“What, then? It doesn't help much.”
“I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help. If there were any mercenaries in the military, I would have led them.”
'After Alexei's downfall, the holding company changed so that it couldn't hire employees who were nothing like privates. While Ji tore it into pieces by himself. Pretending not to know.'
I thought you were a child capable of committing a dharma for the sake of your precious self and the teacher you respect. Recruiting mercenaries or hiring strong soldiers for a short time. It doesn't look like it's there. The master was disappointed with the disciple.
Sheesh. This is not completely safe. Against the threat of shadows, one senior is inferior.
but it's ok I have one more slightly different line just in case.
Just the captain of the army.
“Oh, Sepie. I have something to talk to the captain for a moment. Could you please leave your seat?”
Sepi, who normally would have immediately agreed, this time gave a delayed reply as if something had grabbed the horse's tail.
“… You ate it up like that, swung it like you wanted, and now it's an open secret? Master, don't you have a conscience? He didn't want a fair deal to get what he gave. Still, if I gave it to you, wouldn’t Master also give something to keep the trade form?”
'I'll get out of here, so talk quietly. In the meantime, I'll have to wait outside, lonely.'
Something is strange. Do you think your thoughts and words have changed?
“Seppy. Did something not come out of your heart?”
“It’s not a genuine request, it’s a fair request. Following Master's will, I held on to the captain and provided necessary equipment, both the captain and Master. He doesn't even tell me a single word of his own. Are you going to come out like this?”
'Not at all. I never lied to Master.'
The points earned were cut off in real time. With resentment on his face, doubts as to whether he should continue to follow him flow.
Before Sepi Point ran out, I spoke urgently.
“It’s not because of me, it’s because of the captain. He's on a covert operation.”
“So what does that have to do with me?”
“If the secret is revealed, you will die.”
It was clear that the word death gave me some shock. Sepi squinted and squinted at the inside of the carriage.
After a while, Sepi returned to her sober look and answered.
“… I know. Sorry for raising your voice, Master. I'll keep you out of the way, so let's talk quietly just the two of us. In the meantime, I will have to wait outside alone.”
Sepi said so and leaned against the side of the carriage. He bowed slightly and entered through the open door.
There, a uniformed captain was waiting for me stiffly, with both hands on his knees.
closed the door At the same time, I closed the small window facing the carriage seat. It was a quiet night, but when all the doors were closed, a more cramped stillness came.
The captain looked at me and didn't say anything, just stared at me.
'Actually, it was strange from the beginning. A wealthy life, a relaxed attitude, and a wide network of people and diverse coping skills that make it hard to think of a person in District 15. Why did the main building not have suspicions from the beginning?'
Come on now.
'Or maybe he didn't want to be suspicious. Since he is an ordinary person, he may have wished that he could enjoy his daily life even a little more. The main building is also disqualified as a soldier.'
You have to face the captain.
'But now that's the end.'
I finished thinking, and I also chose all the words.
The captain spoke first.
“Are you a being called a magician?”
“Ah, that. It’s a nickname that doesn’t matter.”
He smiled vaguely and confirmed her guess. There is nothing you can do about coming here. It's better to pretend to be a good person than to make excuses that the person who did all these things is a little bastard.
Even if it's a tinnitus full of bluff.
The captain, who swallowed his saliva, questioned me.
“Your actions are clearly illegal. After several days of investigation by the main building, we have established a criminal background suspected of your conduct.”
It's still hard to say That's why principleists.
A principled person must deal with the principle. I shrugged and said.
“Do you have any evidence?”
It might be a little hesitant to say boldly if there is evidence, but the captain still sharpened his blade.
“magician. It is full of circumstances that might characterize your behavior. Even if ten percent of the rumors about the magician are true, the time will not come when you will finish your sentence.”
“Are the military captains only hearing rumors and arresting people? Ah, no matter how militarized it is.”
“There is also the testimony. Three days ago, you personally sanctioned the criminal who attacked Anna.”
“Don’t panic, bring the evidence.”
Picking my ears and speaking blatantly, the captain narrowed his brows and questioned me.
“The testimony of the captain, the main building, becomes evidence. The main building witnessed the death right before their eyes. He referred to the magician until shortly before his death, with spices in his stomach. If you are a magician, I suspect a strong connection that led to his death.”
“yes? I have simply brought back the lost spice.”
You can't put that expensive thing in your stomach. I took the golden spice from my pocket and shook it. Seeing my spices, the captain was speechless.
“that… ?”
'Obviously, they said they had spices in their stomachs… .'
what are you talking about It can't all fit in a human throat that resists. It's just a result of playing around with a little scare with a round card.
The only thing he swallowed through his throat was the cap of the beer bottle.
“Isn’t that person, by any chance, dying while cutting off his stomach because of the lack of spices? Hopefully I'm not that stupid.”
“… .”
“OMG. what. Have you ever been ripped off by someone?”
Wait a minute. Really? How do you even think of cutting a human ship? There is really no blood or tears.
'As I recall, he was clutching his stomach… . It wasn't because he ate spices, but because he was stabbed in the stomach… .'
Ugh, that's terrible. It is a terrible sight that a sensitive person like me does not want to imagine. People aren't wrapping paper, they're thinking about how to cut it out.
'It's just a joke… ? Or, what made the situation itself by inducing it? Hell, the point is… ?'
“Ah, Captain, there are more important things than that.”
Let's stop talking against me and start talking about the good.
I said confidently to the captain who asked with a puzzled look.
“You have to thank me. Because the military did something the military couldn’t solve.”
speechless captain. It seemed that he did not understand yet, so I kindly explained it.
“Thanks to the captain who went around to block the shadows, I also roughly figured out the enemy’s identity and target. But oh my god What's dangerous about the people on one leg with me? So I had no choice but to write my hand first. I infiltrated among them, mistaken for the day of the execution, and warned my acquaintances during the unprepared raid.”
If the surprise is not a surprise, the effect is greatly reduced. Without forces willing to intervene like the shadows, their attacks would end in mere commotion. Just like any other ordinary event.
My expectations were correct. Most of the group that had gathered under the instigation did not reach half of their goal and were sunk.
“The result is this! Thanks to you, the peace in the back alley has been preserved! What's happening today is only recorded as a simple happening! This is all thanks to my hard work!”
As the captain came in a horse-drawn carriage, he was able to grasp the whole situation with the golem for surveillance. The back alleys of the military were noisy, noisy, and cluttered today, but there was not as much commotion as I thought.
If it goes on like this, it's loud enough to ask questions and pass it on, but it's not a big commotion.
“… one. The situation is not over.”
However, the captain's complexion didn't seem to be resolved.
