Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint chapter 28

As the Resistance members each departed for their respective places, and Aji and I were silent, Delta, who was left alone, grabbed the gun and stood a distance from us. He said to me and Aji with a lot of force in his hands.

“… Please wait here. The captain will come back to you when you’re done with everything.”

“iced coffee. yes.”

ruler. all scattered Very good situation. Kanisen and Gamma left the management office, while Alpha and Beta headed to the hell they had prepared for them.

Now if I just get rid of the delta, no one will bother me.

Now, let’s get to work.

Change your face and put on a clumsy smile. Trying to look as harmless as possible, I spoke to Delta naturally.

“Gosh. My legs are all shaking. We only had a conversation, but it felt like we had exercised.”

“… The captain has a strong momentum, so it is not unreasonable to run out of energy.”

“They are doing great. It wouldn’t be easy to follow someone like that.”

“… I should. The captain still leads us well. This operation would not have been possible if the captain had not shown his wits.”

Let’s see.

Although he is answering my words faithfully, his attention is focused entirely on Aji. It is natural. I’m more scared of Azi, who grabs bullets with her teeth, than I, who doesn’t have any special equipment and looks weak.

That attitude would be the biggest weakness.

“Hey, can’t you put your gun down now? It’s not that Aji hurts people.”

“… However.”

“But and what. You just saw it. He has the crazy ability to grab a gun with his teeth if he shoots it. There’s no point in aiming a gun.”

I glanced at Aji. Aji, who had seen a lot of people come to see her a little while ago, is now sitting quietly with a gloomy face.

I don’t know why. It must be for the same reason as a dog.

Of course, there seemed to be no fear of guns in the meantime. Seriously, even if I fire it, I can grab it with my mouth, so am I afraid? It’s a good thing if you don’t just play with guns knowing that bullets are a little quicker.

“I know because I have been with Aji for a few days, and although he is strong, he is not very dangerous. At first, I was scared too, so I ran away, but at some point I got used to it. Come on, look.”

I picked up the leather ball I had put away earlier. When he lifted it high and swung it left and right, Aji’s tail began to sway from side to side before anything else. Then Aji’s head turned and looked at me blankly, then shook her head and got up.

I threw a leather ball and shouted.

“ruler! Ask me!”

“bruise!”

Aji ran after the ball. Delta, who could not keep up with the situation, was startled and raised the gun half a beat later.

“What are you doing now!”

“bruise!”

But, disregarding Delta’s concerns, Aji took the ball and came right back to me. I drop the ball at my feet and look up with a proud expression. I put my hand down and stroked her. Aji half closed her eyes and enjoyed my touch.

It was not a sight to raise the vigilance. Even the fairly thorough and principled Delta murmured in absurdity.

“… Is this okay?”

The gun went down. It’s because the tension has eased a bit.

I stroked Aji vigorously, trying to look as harmless as possible.

“Actually, I don’t even know. It just happened like this at some point.”

“Even if you are a dog beast, you are still human… . Even if it’s instinct.”

“But I didn’t press it by force, did I? Rather, I am in a position to serve. Throw the ball, and when you pick it up, throw it again. In the meantime, I know how to be happy.”

“It is, though.”

“Well, I think it might be a similar relationship between Delta-sama and the captain. In terms of strength, it would be the difference between heaven and earth. Regardless of their strength, we just got used to each other.”

“Well.”

Delta now seemed to realize how stupid it was to be wary of Aji. It was because I couldn’t feel a single sense of crisis in the way he was happy and giddy at every touch of mine.

I continued stroking Aji, creating an idyllic scene.

“When I first fell here after being arrested by the military, I was so scared and scared, but now that I think about it, I feel fortunate to be here. It is peaceful except that the trainees may die if not done.”

“Peace. It’s not the right word for Tantalus.”

“Actually, I feel that way, well. It could be because everyone who is going to escape has escaped.”

He paused for a moment, and muttered with his slightly wet eyes.

“If this place had been a hell of a rumor, no military power would have sent an ordinary bastard like me.”

Emphasize that he is a criminal. Despite the appeal of incompetence, I secretly show the attitude that I am a very common-sense person.

hang on hang on

Then, as expected, Delta showed curiosity.

“What crime have you been charged with?”

caught

Having elicited the desired question, I deliberately looked into the air and murmured.

“I used to be a magician. My job was to entertain people with magic in the back alleys. My income is modest, but whenever I see the faces of people who are curious, I am quite satisfied. By the way.”

Pretending to think deeply, he took a breath and said.

“uh. Was it a week ago? Suddenly, the soldiers came and took the people at random. I was also checked out while playing a card game with my friends… .”

“It is then. You too have been caught unfairly.”

When I blurted out the end of my words, Delta misunderstood me. He, like me, fell in thought.

‘Use innocent people as slaves. Also, the military is not right. It’s okay to break However, for that purpose, we too, who will eventually drive innocent people to death… Is that right?’

it’s a good flow I vaguely scratched my head and added.

“Ahahaha. Well, it’s not completely embarrassing. I also used some magic in card games. hahaha.”

“… like that.”

‘Is it a gambler?’

The expression gets a little worse. This is because he was born a steady type, so his awareness of gambling was low.

A spoonful of reflection here. The sensibility properly added to the solid background makes me a three-dimensional person.

“I believed in my frugal talent and was too shy. Magic is the most valuable corporation when it is magic.”

Saying that, he gently raised the card. Delta noticed the existence of the pure white card and stood out.

“Where did you get it?”

“Because I was born a magician, I felt anxious when I didn’t have a card hidden in my hand. So I somehow managed to get one.”

Pararack. A card danced under my finger. Left hand, right hand, palm, back of hand. Cards move around like worms crawling on your hand.

When I opened my hands at some point, they disappeared in an instant as if they had never existed in the first place.

Actually, I can clearly see the card sticking to the back of my hand, but if it disappeared from Delta’s eyes, it’s gone.

Delta was truly amazing.

“No, I don’t have any sleeves to hide, so how can the card… .”

“hahaha. You have to be at this level to be a magician.”

Turn your palm over and slide the card attached to the back of your hand to the palm of your hand. Hide the card in the palm of your hand while showing the back of your hand to Delta. When he puts his hand back and puts the card back, it appears to Delta that the card is completely gone.

“Oh oh.”

It was interesting enough. I lifted the index finger of my left hand and slowly pulled out the card on the back of my right hand and showed it to me, smiling brightly. Delta was clapping unwittingly.

good reaction. I scratched my head and smiled as if embarrassed by this gaze.

“But it was more useless when playing card games than I thought. Even if my craftsmanship is amazing, I can’t stop people from doubting it.”

“It’s like a persimmon. If it were me, I wouldn’t have doubted it at all.”

“If you lose a few pennies, doubts arise. Even if I lose a few tens, they grab my wrist. Their eyes were stained with anger and doubt. I was blinded for a moment and lost sight of the magic of having to entertain people.”

I grabbed the card and shrugged.

“I lost my original mind like that and was caught. How did Delta become a Resistance?”

“I… .”

My question poked right into his psychological loophole. Delta fell into recollection without any doubt.

“My real name is Elsie. Ever since I was little, I used to study hard. At the will of my parents, I entered the Secondary Military School, but I kept repeating it there. Is what I am doing the right thing, or is the military policy correct? But the military doesn’t allow that kind of discussion. I don’t think it’s that we can’t discuss right and wrong for the sake of order… .”

“Did you participate in the Resistance?”

“That’s right. At least in the Resistance, I was able to express the way the country was going. I was able to find many like-minded comrades. but… .”

‘I still don’t know if the resistance with the sacrifice of the common people is right or not.’

Nicknamed Elsie, codenamed Delta was a thoughtful person. I waited for him to calm down enough, then said.

“It could be life-threatening.”

“I am not afraid to die. I’m just worried about whether I’m on the right track.”

“It would be in the right direction. Have you thought about it enough?”

“Worrying is not always right.”

“It’s more likely to be right than not doing it. Humans can’t be perfect, so wouldn’t it be better to pursue the possibilities?”

“… Thank you for your words.”

“I can only talk, huh? A street magician has nothing to brag about but his dexterity.”

After reading Delta, I smiled softly and pulled out the card again.

“now. Hard stories are like that. Let me show you something interesting. Originally, I didn’t reveal it very well, but I think it’s a relationship, so I’ll reveal it in particular.”

Delta, who got out of the flashback, looked at my card with anticipation. Attracting his attention, I flipped a card over with a magician’s smile.

“This is a trick with a magic tool, and you should never reveal it in the first place.”

“Is it because it’s money?”

“hahaha. there too, though. As soon as this is revealed, doubts sprout in people’s heads before mystery. They see magic as something to dig and disassemble, not something to enjoy. From then on, the magic became sloppy, not magic. There is no respect or joy in those gazes. Only the fierce battle between the audience and the magician remains.”

It gathers magic power at the tip of your finger. Magical energy seeps into the card through your fingertips. The back of the card is engraved with a strange pattern. A faint light flashed along the way.

“But those who know the secret will inevitably seek out the bamboo forest. After all, this place is abyss. This must be a relationship, I’ll just tell you.”

Slide the card between your index and middle fingers on the wrist of your left hand. Then, open your palms and cover your eyes for a moment.

Immediately after that, he turned over his left wrist and right hand at the same time—showing the ‘thing’ that was a card.

A card that was obviously Diamond 1. Where it was supposed to be – there was a pointed skewer with a dark red light.

“Voila!”

“Oh oh!”

He swung the skewer he had created. Every time I do, I hear the wind blowing. It shows that it is not a gimmick or hallucination, but a skewer with a clear shape.

I pretended to take off my missing hat and said hello. Delta clapped in admiration.

“Is that alchemy?”

“You have good eyesight. I was trying to figure it out slowly.”

“No, it is a very swift and stealthy alchemy. I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t seen it this close.”

“It’s not usually alchemy. This card is an alchemy made after a packet of clothes. So like this. If you put magical energy through the end of the living body.”

Again, rub the stick against the left wrist where the biometric terminal is located. Then the skewer disappeared as if it had never been there from the beginning. When I raised my palm again, there was a diamond 1 returned as a card.

burst of admiration. I said proudly.

“It can be a card or a stick. Originally, I hung seasonal flowers on the tip of a stick and held them out, but no matter how much I was a magician, I couldn’t find the Earth Mother’s letter from the abyss.”

Delta looked down at my card with curious eyes. There was not a single point of caution left in his eyes, dazzled by card magic.

he murmured

“I’m sorry. It would have been much better to see it from the outside.”

“hahaha. If I had seen it from the outside, I wouldn’t have revealed the secret. ah! this. Is your card gone? Where would you go? Uh, wait. What’s that on Delta’s head?”

Of course, this too will be part of the magic.

If you have gone through a series of flows, of course, you have no choice but to think that way. So Delta didn’t even feel the need to be vigilant. I casually stretched out my hand. Delta stayed still as I approached.

‘What kind of magic?’

Seeing him looking forward to it, I smiled.

Turning the card into a skewer.

inserted into his temple.

His head is pushed to the side. A look of wonder appears on his face that was full of interest. Then, one beat later, with his head that doesn’t move well, he realizes what has happened.

A sharp stick pierced through his temple. Damaged Head Desperately Issues Warning

I shouted with my arms outstretched at him.

“Voila! Disappearing magic!”
