Blessed Country, Cursed Man – 8
“This person’s name is Yuel. He is the same person as the Tentong Aimeder, and he is the leader of the three six generals brought by Gunung Valliorant. And even after he died, he was a great man who created this country. In short, the hidden king of the military!”
“… Don’t call me king.”
“He says he sees me as savage! I’ll call you all you want! Anyway, ask this guy if you have any questions! It will explain everything from the birth of the military to the ideology! It’s finally time to make your wishes come true!”
Yuel looked at me with wide eyes. It seems that they didn’t want to even meet face to face until a while ago, but now there is only me to look at.
When you turn your head, the princess is on one side and Shiati on the other. Both are children abandoned by the military. The things that the saint had put aside to continue the maintenance of Gunwoong came to her.
“… Did you bring these two with you from the beginning?”
“no? I’m not even a prophet, how can I know the future? I didn’t even know who you were until you came here in the first place.”
Real prophets have abandoned all people. Well, when a favorable situation came up, they asked me if I had predicted all of this. You have to make a sound that makes sense.
“But it doesn’t matter if you know the future or not. They both have a huge wind. The wind drove them all the way here, and in the end they didn’t break, and they finally came face to face with you. Of course, without me, I might have had an accident on the way.”
“You don’t have the power to make a human follow you anymore.”
“Because I don’t have that kind of ability. It doesn’t matter if it’s strength or power. how many times do you say They were the ones who brought them here.”
Even if I don’t use my hands or cheat right now, the two of them are walking towards this place. He walks on the hard stone floor with a tiring gait, but his eyes are straight.
“And you are the one who made them. It is inevitable that Shiati and the princess will come here. You may fail, you may succeed. It doesn’t matter either.”
Unfortunately, I can ask and get answers instead, but I can’t draw conclusions instead. In that sense, it was a very good choice to bring these two who had a real purpose.
Shiati, who had a long stride, approached first. I stepped aside and assumed the role of an observer.
ruler. show me. What are you going to do with this saint?
I was watching with a bit of a pounding heart, but for some reason, Shiati looked at me instead of UL and asked.
“Is that corpse over there Gunung?”
“Zi who was once a soldier. But now it’s just a corpse.”
“Why does that woman have it?”
“Isn’t it more accurate to say that they were buried together rather than possessed? Because this looks like the basement of the temple… . But wait a minute. why do you ask me Ask that person.”
I brought you here to ask questions instead, but why are you holding onto the wrong person and making a fuss? I can read Yuel’s thoughts, but I can’t replace her answer. I mean, mind-reading has been caught.
When I showed an unwilling attitude, Shiati shrugged and said.
“How can you believe that woman who is so openly suspicious?”
So it is.
Seriously, Shiati, who ran away from the chaos underground, suddenly said that this person is a dark scene, it would only be embarrassing to say.
Shiati, like everyone else, is mediocre. She only sees the things in front of her. Whether that’s true or not, it’s too big of a truth for Shiati to see.
“Do you believe me?”
“Comparative.”
“Thank you for that.”
Shiati smiled and muttered with a detached face.
“And now, it doesn’t really matter. Who was the true black man of this country and what he decorated. It’s so complicated that it gives me a headache.”
“uh?”
What is it, Kim? Where did the rage that burns the whole country go? You were frustrated when you saw a signal operator younger than you earlier.
“Is that okay? Revenge for the military?”
“Like you said, I didn’t know the military. Even as we get to know each other, our thoughts only get complicated, and we can’t come to a clear conclusion. Who is bad, what should I take revenge on? Gradually, I started wandering.”
After going through all sorts of things, Shiati grew up as a person. But human growth means giving up on something.
It’s a disappointing ending for me who listened to the wind and guided me this far.
“Isn’t that girl younger than me?”
“a. You look old because you went through everything before and after childbirth, but you are still older than you.”
“under. Still, I have no idea. I didn’t even know who that woman was, but it’s the first time I’ve seen her today. Even if I kill you, who in the world would know?”
It’s completely different from the way I’ve been running like crazy so far. A sense of alienation is felt in Shiati’s frankly muttering expression.
“Siati… .”
‘Right. What’s right in front of you right now is the most important thing! You know… !’
The princess was moved and looked at her with gleaming eyes, but I was not very pleased with Shiati’s liberated appearance.
“What wind blows?”
Shiati answered with a bitter smile.
“I hid in the room earlier and met the signalman. Was it Ienne? He said he was the same age as me. If the children who died in Hameln had grown up, they would be at that age. I’m the same age as someone, but one drowns in the water and dies. The other side became the hidden power of the Command. By the way.”
“By the way?”
“… He didn’t look any better than me.”
Tuk, Shiati dropped something dented. It was an empty bean tin can. Although tasteless, it is rich in nutrients and has a good compression ratio, making it the most efficient meal for ‘survival’ purpose, apart from everything else.
It was also the least popular meal.
“He eats canned beans. Being locked up in a dark room. What does that mean?”
Details of the signalmen are classified, but some secrets have been unlocked for those who have already entered the module. For example, about the working situation of a signalman. That’s information that can only be obtained by observation.
As a result, how many Shiatido signalmen… .
“I don’t even feel like swearing because I’m pitiful.”
He realized that he was a cowardly being.
Because I suffer more than anyone else, I am free from criticism and responsibility from others.
I said, pointing to Yuel.
“This person here. Did this person make a signal operator?”
“… I guess so. It’s a little annoying though. This person doesn’t look any different.”
There are no common cooking utensils or ingredients. Even the bed was just a layer of cloth on a sarcophagus, and the only thing that seemed warm was a corpse.
Shiati didn’t know what the saint was eating, but she knew she was suffering too.
Shiati looked down at Yuel. The meeting between the monster who made the military and the monster that the military created was surprisingly peaceful.
“Just, I’m not mad anymore.”
It’s an unexpected reaction. This was not only for us, but also for UL. UL, who expected Shiati to attack at any moment, was taken aback by the completely different reaction.
“… Do you sympathize with me?”
“Maybe.”
The carrier knows everything. This is because they receive information from dozens of golems and receive information from hundreds of signalmen.
at the same time know nothing Because they are locked up in a windowless room.
A signalman has no life, so he has no responsibility. So there is no sin. Who can blame them? I would sympathize
All this is arranged by UL. In the first place, the carrier was created for that purpose.
However, when UL became the object of sympathy, she felt a strange displeasure.
“Thank you, Resistance. Now that you know enough, why not give up and go back? If you stay by the princess’s side, your life will be spared. As ever.”
“I have never wasted my life. Until now.”
Shiati stretched out her arms. Nothing like a steel prosthetic arm can interfere with the saint’s prayer. Even the saint believed it and watched it silently.
UL was not where Shiati’s prosthetic arm was headed.
The corpse in Yuel’s arms slid out. Shiati grabbed the body by the collar and pulled it out at once.
The corpse is not a praying saint. It can also be pulled out by Shiati’s power. UL, who was praying with the correct posture, opened his eyes and lost his precious traces.
“Ahh?”
“Still, I got one good thing. Huey, is this Gunwoong? Wealth of this country?”
“That’s right.”
Oh right. That was a corpse.

For me, who reads thoughts, a corpse is just an object that was once human. I couldn’t even put it into consciousness because I couldn’t feel it.
It seems that Shiati found usefulness in the corpse. Shiati looked around the corpse and asked me.
“It looks good for a corpse. Are you really a corpse? Not a single wound.”
“I would have been poisoned. So it won’t hurt. It’s good for a corpse… That person will take good care of you.”
“anyway. People who made a name for themselves in the military will recognize this person’s face, right?”
“I don’t know about the other places, but since this is the Inner Circle headquarters, there must be quite a few old people with high ranks who have a hard time standing on the front lines. Those old-legged soldiers are pretty recognizable, right?”
“Okay. If you write this, at least a few people will notice.”
‘Maybe one last thing to do.’
Shiati tried to drag the corpse like a bale. At that moment, UL stopped praying that seemed like it would last forever. She quickly reached out and grabbed the hem of the body the body was wearing.
“Well, what are you going to do with him?”
“I don’t know.”
“He is already at rest! What are you going to do with the body!”
Shiati said sternly.
“Even if it’s a corpse, it wouldn’t be quite shocking if you cut off Gunwoong’s head.”
Shiatya too. Because I do not hesitate to do things I never imagined.
Well, taking the corpse of Gunung, who was said to have died 20 years ago, won’t make a huge impact. But for only one person, UL, that would be a terrible insult that is hard to even imagine.
Catholicism encourages cremation, but not all burns. Saints or high-profile priests are sometimes enshrined in the temple as they are dead, and the saints regularly bless them and take care of them.
What UL did is part of that. It’s full of personal feelings, but anyway, UL has been doing that for over 20 years.
“I was trying to solve my anger over things that I had never seen before. But, what? A secret darkness that no one knows about? It’s not even funny. Heh, I’d rather see the god who made this world and cast a curse on me.”
“That, so… Are you going to avenge his corpse?”
“The body has no emotions. But, at least carrying this… At least, anyone who knows the face of Gunwoong will listen to me.”
And Shiati grabbed the leg of the body’s trousers and dragged him away. The body is dragged along like a load. In the direction away from UL.
Yuel jumped up and hung on the corpse. Shiati stopped at the weight of the corpse.
“Let it go! He doesn’t deserve to be treated like that by you!”
“I was treated like a material while I was alive. What about a corpse?”
hey Even after he’s dead, he’s still fighting a tug of war between two women. Would you be happy to see this scene in heaven? .
No, the reason he died in the first place was because he was cut off during a tug of war, right? Then it wouldn’t be very pleasant. It might be rather painful.
Whoa, I shouldn’t be like that.
The sight of UL trying to retrieve the body while whining was sadder than anything else. Contrary to Shiati, who pulls the hem of her pants, Yuel couldn’t even hold her neck, but instead grabbed her body with both arms. It was obvious that he did not know what to do for fear of being damaged.
How did someone who was once a saint ever get to that point? Shiati muttered.
“I just added one more reason to use this corpse.”
“oh!”
The confrontation, which seemed tense, ended in a brisk manner. As soon as Shiati gave her strength, UL’s body shrank violently. A saint who has been imprisoned for more than 20 years cannot defeat the strength of the resistance action leader.
Shiati looked down at Yuel, who had fallen, and laughed.
“If you don’t like it, there’s no reason to quit anymore. Watch carefully there. How do I use this corpse?”
“You!”
Realizing that she couldn’t win by force, the saint cowardly put her hands together and prayed. A saint has tremendous power, but there is no easy-to-understand power to knock down the person in front of her right away.
Instead, UL tried to call an angel by spewing out lines like a third-rate villain.
“The cheeky thing… ! You’re lucky you’ve come all the way here, are you acting like you can do anything?!”
The offering is itself. It’s a bit of a price to spend to protect just one corpse.
But for Yuel, the corpse is everything in this narrow world. I was prepared for death anyway. Yuel was ready to be sacrificed without hesitation.
“Siati! Stop for a moment!”

Fortunately, the princess intervened before the angel came down. Shiati obeyed the princess’ words, and Yuel, who was about to kill her immediately, calmed her anger in front of the princess for a moment.
The princess, who stopped the quarrel, saw Shiati and appealed.
“Siati. I still have something to ask. His body could be the answer to my question. So can you wait a minute?”
“Wait a minute.”
Shiati meekly laid the body down. The leg he had grabbed hit the ground with no vitality, and Yuel flinched as if it had been hit by his own leg.
The princess stopped in front of Yuel, who had become contemplative. Yuel said to the other disturber.
“… You said you had a question for me, Princess Grandiomor.”
“yes. Did you say me, UL? There was something I really wanted to ask the military, no, you.”
Yuel gestured as if to ask him quickly. After clearing her voice a few times, the princess opened up the questions she had been holding on to.
“I have been watching the military for a long time. So I know. How strong and wealthy the military is. The Resistance stole or stole significant supplies over a long period of time, but the military was not harmed.”
“You are proud to say that you have stolen and stolen so far.”
“Ah… Well, sorry for that. We’re also tired of hiding and buying… uh, anyway! The military was a great country! Both the system and the scale! It was so huge that it couldn’t even be compared to the kingdom!”
The princess managed to get lucky with her aristocratic way of speaking, but Yuel was consistent with a cold attitude.
“I didn’t know I would get compliments from the Resistance who came all the way here. I heard the gossip well. Then why don’t you surrender?”
“Hey, I don’t mean that! I’m just curious, what it’s for!”
The military is rational and efficient. They exploit humans to extract maximum value under given conditions.
Of course it should be, but the princess asked the question ‘why’.
“Everyone needs to know how to look after and give to the people of a country. The kingdom couldn’t do that, but the army that was created after the kingdom was overthrown can do that, right? A little less work, a little more caring, a little less harsh. This military nation must have come close to a paradise on earth.”
“… .”
“However… The military appears to be deliberately avoiding it. Why? After all, everyone is a military citizen. Are you reluctant to give to the military people?”
Yuel didn’t answer. The princess, having assumed that the question was a bit vague, recalled the question in her more specifically.
“It’s not about being extravagant! If it was, you would have been enjoying greater luxury! Instead of living in a cramped room with a corpse, he must have been cared for in a splendid palace! But it isn’t. For what purpose do you push humans into hellish bridles?”
“… peel.”
“yes?”
UL opened her mouth with difficulty.
“Because this blessed country he and I have built must go on forever.”
It’s sad.
