The officer, who frowned to the point of being rude, glared at the golem without responding to the salute.
The golem, who missed the timing to lower his hand, continued his speech while still maintaining his salute.
“I have heard the words of the lieutenant colonel. The main building holds the lieutenant colonel’s throne until he leaves here… .』
“okay. Captain. You’re late. More than a laborer.”
The sarcastic tone was sharp. The golem, who hesitated for a moment with his attitude that day, added his words belatedly.
“I will correct it. But here it is.”
“Are you trying to make excuses now?”
“… I will correct it.”
As the golem shut his mouth, the officer groaned and turned around. The officer said without even showing his face to the golem.
“I don’t care how many of your golems have been destroyed, signalman.”
That’s a lie. a lot of interest Not in the sense of worry, but in the sense of accusation. He had the inner meaning of how he ate so many golems.
“Similarly, I won’t even question that the golem’s condition is worse than that of a tin can of beans.”
Let’s not be mistaken. is a big issue. Before saluting, he tried to tell him to look back on his attire, but he ended up saying it.
Then, the officer who turned his body solemnly laid his back. Along with the chest under the uniform, two silver medals swayed.
The officer, who emphasized the medal with full of pride, raised his chin.
“However, if your mission is to monitor and manage Tantalus, you should at least be faithful to it. However, the main building that arrived in Tantalus yesterday did not hear your report at all. Now, until this moment when the laborer brought you.”
“… I will correct it.”
“Someone who will be a supervisor has arrived in your area, and it’s the first time I’ve met you after ten days. Lack of ability or lack of will? I can’t express it in words that my discipline has become loose.”
I was itching in my body from the non-stop accusations.
hold on? can you stand it?
No, I can’t stand it. How do you leave this atmosphere alone?
“… Correction.”
Just before the golem finished speaking, I immediately bowed down and hugged the golem hard and shouted.
“Don’t be too harsh on our Captain Abbey! What did my kid do wrong?”
It’s obvious what officers do. He is looking for a subordinate and intends to save his face.
That’s about 10%.
Of course, don’t let that happen.
Because it’s no fun if you do it the way you think it is.
“That’s right, it’s all because of me! If only I hadn’t been grumpy and tore off Captain Abbie’s leg! I wish I hadn’t taken the speaker out of my mouth! Uh-huh, I’m sorry, Captain Abbey!”
“Let go, let go.”
“Gulp Gulp. it’s okay. Do not cry. If you cry, Santa Claus won’t give you a present.”
“… .』
After the water was completely cloudy, I swung the golem up again. The golem struggled in haste, but I turned and patted my back as if to appease a child.
“Colonel Callis! You’re busy, but I’m sorry for making you pick up the golem and pick it up! Look at work!”
“… ttt.”
When there was no more blame, all the officer could do was click his tongue. He waved his hand before saying another word.
“Then bye!”
Leaving the officer behind, I left the instructor’s office. The golem in my arms had stopped moving.
When I thought that I might have disconnected.
“… Specifically, it is not your responsibility. As the lieutenant colonel-sama said, the fact that there is only one aircraft left is because of my negligence in management.”
A powerless voice came from the golem. I responded indifferently.
“Still, it’s too much. No, you accidentally fell into the abyss, so why didn’t you come back? It’s just so unfair.”
“Don’t worry. It’s familiar. If I became a signal soldier without taking any tests like the main building… . If I could become a third-level citizen like a cadet at a high school without effort or competition. That would be an insult to the cadets.”
Those who graduated from elementary school are first-level citizens.
If you went to secondary military school, you would be a level 2 citizen.
Citizens who make up the majority of the military and form the basis of the military.
But the foundation basically means what is trampled underfoot, and they are oppressed, beaten, and rolled, laying the ground for a military empire. Using their blood and sweat as nourishment, the military grows luxuriantly.
However, from level 3 onwards, it is completely different.
Officers, technicians, scholars, factory managers, etc.
If you excel in a certain field and become an extremely difficult person to replace, the situation will change from then on. Access to facilities is expanded, income is increased, and lower-level citizens gain several priorities that they do not.
Officers graduating from the Higher Academy are 3rd-level citizens from that moment on, and they take great pride in that fact.
To the point of contempt of a signalman who, without any effort, was simply lucky enough to become a level 3 citizen… .
… I’ll pretend to be, Lieutenant Colonel Callis.
I read other people’s thoughts. If you are quietly reading their thoughts, then you can hear the wind they hold in their hearts.
A hope that was determined to be impossible, or a shallow belief that was planned out of self-confidence.
Such things come to me with a strange resignation or in a state of exhilaration.
That’s the attitude I usually take.
“Is Lieutenant Colonel Callis such a person?”
“Today is the first time I have seen the main building in person. He is famous for being promoted to lieutenant colonel at a young age. In particular, the story of hunting the beasts of the Aok Valley after a three-day operation, and finding the resistance base and subduing it alone, was reported as breaking news among the signalists.”
“Is that kind of person talking nonsense to a carrier? Something suspicious?”
That is, moving the situation in a direction no one expected.
“If you are someone who has accumulated merit on your own, like Lieutenant Colonel, it is only natural that you are reluctant to work as a signal soldier without any merit.”
“No, I’m talking about competence, Captain Abbey. Why would such a capable person do such a detrimental thing?”
The officer, Lieutenant Colonel Callis, rebuked Captain Abbey. No, the horse scolded me, and doing that from the first day is no different than telling me to fight.
Whether Captain Abbey is obedient or rebellious. He wouldn’t even come close to Lieutenant Colonel Callis, who showed such an attitude.
“You entered the abyss by mistake, and rudely spoke to the signalman. It’s a mess. Is that the true face of the famous Lieutenant Colonel Callis?”
That is what Lieutenant Colonel Callis is aiming for.
“Captain AB, as you can see, I hired Sijo. Mr. Shay is an anti-social person who cuts down on golems when he sees them. The only ally of her on Tantalus is Azi, an ally of all humans. That is to say, none at all.”
get started
Persuasion starts from the same place.
While walking shoulder to shoulder, telling the truth that we both knew, feet head to head.
“But today, on the first day of your appointment, why did you treat Captain Ab, the only person in Tantalus, who was friendly to you?”
slowly, slowly.
It bends so naturally that you can’t even notice it.
Persuasion is turning one’s thinking in a completely different direction.
“Because you are no ally to Lieutenant Colonel Callis, Captain Abbey!”
When I read the thoughts a while ago, I felt reluctance.
The fact that an officer hates signalmen is genuine.
However, in this isolated abyss, the only means of communication with the outside world, the signal operator, is invaluable. Are you saying that you don’t have the patience to put your mind aside for a while and not show off your hatred?
If I had been such an idiot, I wouldn’t have been able to become a lieutenant colonel.
“What does that mean?”
“Simply put, Lieutenant Colonel! I mean, there’s a reason to keep an eye on Captain Abbey! They want to be isolated again in this isolated abyss! Could it be that you are a loner on the same level as me?”
“That, what.”
“Child, really. You taste bad. understand everything Do I really have to say it?”
In fact, you would already know. Since signal operators are people who deal with information, they must have been aware of the strange things.
I can’t read Golem’s thoughts, but I’m sure my story worked.
The reason truth is valuable is simple. Because of economic logic.
because it’s unique
There are countless lies in the world, but there is only one truth.
So, the real truth always works. I talked about the facts I had read from Lieutenant Colonel Callis.
“It means that you are plotting something stupid to avoid the eyes of the military!”
“Don’t flirt!”
The golem refuted obligatoryly.
“The main building will not be affected by your alienation. You, the mischief, and the lieutenant colonel, an officer of the military! It is self-evident which of the two words is heavier! Wherever, the soldiers of the military are bound by blood and iron! In such an unfounded conspiracy… . unfounded… .』
Every single thing can happen. something that can be ignored.
But looking back, things were so suspicious that it was hard to believe why they didn’t know.
usually don’t notice Someone’s intentions are invisible, because there are too many things in the world to relate to.
But if you know the answer, everything that exists is grounded.
“But, if you say that. This goes beyond disobeying orders… .』
great. passed
A signalman’s duty is to report. Even if you don’t believe what I’m saying, I’ll report on the content that aroused my suspicions.
Then it’s over. We just have to wait until the military responds.
At the same time, I’m doing my best.
“… then. Lieutenant Colonel Callis’ scolding of the main building was just acting… .』
“No, there seems to be some sincerity mixed there.”
The golem glared at me obliquely. Then he adjusted his attitude and said, looking straight at me.
“… The main building will leave. Please put this aircraft in a safe place.”
“Just leave it to me.”
pick. The golem’s body drooped. It’s because of synchro off.
I put the golem in a corner of the dining room, and sat down on a chair for a moment to contemplate.
I don’t know what they’re up to, but I have to show the elite officers the bitter taste of society. Wouldn’t life be so much fun when everything happens?
And because that side is good for me.
What if the startled military government takes an officer in to determine the authenticity? You will definitely look smart then.
A way out of this abyss.
Hmm. Once you have put your doubts I should read the officer’s memory in my spare time. At least if you know what you’re decorating, it’ll be easier to deal with.
I got out of the dining room again, turned the corner and headed towards the instructor’s office.
Then, while holding the Cheon-ae up to the top of his head, he encountered the regressor who was about to break the door of the instructor’s room.
Regressor: “Frostmorn is lusting for right arms!”
