“… The military will send an investigation team.”
Golem finished his speech calmly.
After hearing the story, I tilted my head again. The military correspondent reported it to me, no one else, but a laborer.
As if he was aware of that fact, Golem added as if he was making an excuse.
“Don’t get me wrong. I do not fully trust your opinion. Military authorities believe that this situation was caused by a simple error. This investigation team is to find the cause of the error. In addition, the fact that this fact has been communicated to you is merely a brief explanation of the situation for the information provider.”
“Am.”
“… By any means, please do not be hasty. The military is keen on this matter, and the investigation team includes a general. Lieutenant Colonel Callis is a soldier in the military. The military will also evaluate her actions. Even if there is something questionable about the lieutenant colonel’s actions, it does not affect you, so we recommend that you remain still.
Even though I said I understood, the golem insisted on me over and over again.
Do you think I won’t understand? The military, who hates useless work, says it twice.
“If you truly want to get out of the abyss, the only way is to faithfully serve your sentence according to the orders of the military.”
Now that I know, why the hell can’t I just stay still? no way?
“Are you worried about me?”
“denial! I’m just talking common sense! It will be ten times more realistic and constructive than aiming to escape from a land from which there is no escape!”
The answer was so blunt that it made me sad. You don’t have to say that. I nodded passively.
The golem, who moved vigorously, continued to speak while controlling his breathing.
“… Lieutenant Colonel Callis has requested the supply of canned meat. Do you have anything to ask for?”
“no. it’s okay. Anyway, this time, I think the lieutenant colonel will deliver the food himself.”
“… Okay. If that’s the case, the main building will leave for now, so please do your best.”
“yes. Please do your best, Captain.”
Shortly after I finished speaking, the golem disconnected. Tuuk. The golem’s body was stretched helplessly, and I sat the golem upright in the corner of the dining room.
I got up and murmured towards the air.
“This completely isolated Lieutenant Colonel Callis. She has no one to turn to. What will she do when she is in a corner?”
No answer was heard.
What are you listening to? If you don’t answer, I’m like someone who talks to myself or mumbles.
I shouted at one wall of the dining room so as not to turn away.
“Look. How good it is to have one golem left. If we had beaten them all down, we wouldn’t have been able to request supplies, and we wouldn’t have known what was going on. Now, do you know that smashing everything is not a good thing?”
The opposite wall shook like a mirage. After the stealth technique was released, the figure of a regressor with his arms crossed while leaning against the wall appeared.
Even after listening to the conversation between me and the golem, the regressor still responded horribly.
“… If you destroy the golem and kill that one, there is nothing to worry about.”
“The general has arrived. What if you killed a lieutenant colonel and then the general came down?”
“The horse is the general, not all of them are strong. If it’s not for growth, I can handle it myself. With Tirkanjaka, it will be much easier.”
It wasn’t arrogance. At the top of the pyramid of military power, the general is the strongest force that leads the country called military power.
Among them, the regressor declared as if it was common sense that he was confident he could beat anyone, except for the sixth character with different strength.
That’s great, but there’s another problem. I carefully pointed it out.
“You know? Since the general, he has been a major figure in the country. From the moment you kill them, they are stamped by the military, and they enter into a hostile relationship with no room for compromise.”
“You and I have already been photographed. Do you think we will be left alone, surviving in the abyss? Even if you go up like this, you won’t be able to dream of a normal life, what are you worried about?”
🥺 That’s right.
Having nothing to say, I grumbled openly.
“I’m afraid you’ll be able to calmly commit the murder of the general.”
“It’s noisy. The guy who was calm even when the blade was pointed at him.”
“It’s called a poker face. How surprised I was inside.”
The returner snorted after hearing my words. It looked like he didn’t believe my excuses even to the point of flinching.
“Are you a thug? Then the military was destroyed last night.”
“No, it’s true. Both the captain and the lieutenant colonel speak together. That bastard.”
“You don’t even need to try to deceive me. Maybe we could be friends.”
‘Just thinking about Aji and Tirkanzaka is enough reason to save this guy. I’ll probably keep this guy alive in the next episode, unless it’s a special variable. If possible, I want to know the truth about this episode.’
I can’t even believe it in words.
But do I really need to fix it? Of course, I got the right to survive in the next episode as well. Thank you, me in the next round. I worked so hard for myself.
Anyway, it’s a life saver, so let’s move on. I shrugged.
“So I don’t understand any more.”
However, unlike me with a broad mind, the regressor with a strict personality could not get over the question in his heart.
The returnee asked me a question.
“Do you really need to keep that lieutenant alive?”
“Captain Abbey just explained it. The general is coming.”
“No, I am not talking about the situation. You didn’t intend to kill the lieutenant colonel from the start. I didn’t even try to help the lieutenant colonel, but I feel like I didn’t even think of the option to kill him apart from the beginning.”
Sometimes regressors have their thoughts in strange places.
I don’t know if it’s because of the externally mounted 13th accident circuit or if it’s nature. Most of the time, one or two stabs the core with a surprisingly sharp point while holding on to the hip. It’s like catching a mouse while running backwards from a cow.
Even though I smiled vaguely, the regressor still bit me sharply.
“Why? Maybe that’s what you like?”
“hahaha. It can’t be.”
“then?”
“ha. that is.”
That’s it. This is what I felt while reading the officer’s mind from time to time.
Well, the human mind is interesting.
“Aren’t you curious, Shay?”
“what.”
The officer’s goal is to become a level 4 citizen. To that end, he became an officer, and took the hand of the secret society ‘The Warrant of All Things’.
Her move was smooth. With their support, he received two medals, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel at a very high speed. It also gained quite a bit of fame, so there were people recognizing it in the military.
At that moment, an order from the ‘Writer of All Things’.
Pretend it’s a mistake, infiltrate Tantalus and get information.
Abyss Tantalus. It was a magical place you shouldn’t dare approach, but… . After the jailbreak incident, the risk decreased significantly, and it was encouraging that the worker who was sent down first was calmly alive.
Even a single bastard survives, so why can’t she, the elite of the military, be unharmed?
So the officers came here on their orders.
But.
“The land of isolated civilians. An abyss that cannot rely on anyone’s help at all. As a lieutenant colonel, I had risen to a rather high position, but I fell here alone without any support. I’ve been purging everywhere, but I haven’t done anything. I am being hostile even by people I never thought were enemies.”
The dangerous figure, Shay, still shows a sharp attitude.
The King of Dogs has already built a deep bond with the laborers, so there is no way he can get in.
What should I do with the laborer, but the founder, who should be indifferent to people, somehow surrounds the laborer to the fullest.
The officer used to watch me all day looking for gaps. Each time, I pretended not to notice that gaze and showed where I was and how tightly we were united.

More and more, the officer was engulfed in despair.
A mission with no prospects. I take measures to keep my nails from coming out by biting my nails. However, there is no way to spontaneously spring out of the isolated abyss.
The officer would know by now. Here… The fact that there was nothing she could do, a rolling stone.
“I have no one to talk to, and I don’t know how much time passes. Achieving the goal is getting more and more distant, but the end is coming. Your life is like a fly.”
Even if the officer sees through and approaches Aji, when I ring the bell, Aji runs straight to me.
Even if you are inside a building, you can feel a gloomy gaze when passing through the shadows where the light does not reach. It’s because Tyr is wary of her.
Even the regressor in front of him exudes life every time he sees a lieutenant colonel. When you get to a colonel, you can feel the level of living that you have not saved, and thanks to that, you are experiencing death several times a day.
“Maybe I will die here. Couldn’t it be that nothing could be accomplished, that it could not be remembered, and that it would fade like a dim candle? Now that their plans go wrong, they are worried about abandoning themselves.”
The target is a level 4 citizen.
The reason he wants to become level 4 is to leave what he has for future generations.
However, she has no family or spouse. If you die here, everything is in vain.
Isn’t that quite contradictory? To risk your life for something that doesn’t exist now.
“What would she look like in that situation at the bottom?”
As she has reached the end of her life, what will she choose at the end of contradiction?
“Aren’t you curious?”
I was curious about that, so I tried to ask.
It would be natural if it was natural, but the regressor did not understand.
“You worked for it? How inefficient is this?”
“Not necessarily because of that. After all, you can’t kill a living person. As long as you save it.”
I know this because I am a mind reader, but an honest answer will come only when you are in that situation. Even those who promise to give their lives for their country often run away when the blade approaches.
Obviously there wasn’t a single point of lies when I read it. He even deceived himself.
So, the line written now has no meaning. When that scene comes right in front of your eyes, when a situation that cannot be avoided by words unfolds, a genuinely valuable truth comes out.
i just want to see it
“… really.”
The regressor thought carefully about my words, and surprisingly liked it and added.
“Probably, I guess. You must have been a bad guy.”
“Because he’s a thug.”
“huh. That’s right. Anyway, apart from what you said, for sure… Worth a try.”
‘The lieutenant colonel is a woman. So, it’s not the instructor the Undead said. maybe it’ll come off Rather than interrogate and deal with right away, leaving it as it is can reveal the truth more clearly… . I don’t want to take such a small risk.’
Persuaded by my words, the returnee ended his life as a lieutenant colonel.
He put the chinenchi that he was holding tightly in his hand on the bedside again, fiddling with his chin and thinking deeply.
‘I wasn’t going to do this kind of laid-back build-up in the discarding episode… . This is how the situation happened. Shall we change the plan?’
When I read that thought, I couldn’t help but be stunned.
I expected it, but was this the turn to throw it away?
please don’t The mind reader who is reading the mind is anxious.
Anyway. I turned my head again. Throwing doubts at the officer over there.
What are the thoughts of an officer who has reached a checkmate?
Lieutenant Colonel Callis untied the belt she had been carrying.
In the past, shortly after clothing packets were commercialized. Leather, which had lost its main use, was often used as accessories or consumables instead of clothes.
Wallets, pockets, belts, bags, jewelry, etc.
There is no reason to stop the military government that takes luxury seriously, or to dispose of the leather stocks that existed throughout the country. Throwing it all away is a bigger loss.
So there was a brief leather boom, and it was pretty popular until something happened. As with shiny luxury items, various variations have come out.
The belt of Lieutenant Colonel Callis was also a product that survived with its unique use after dozens of variations and losses.
A belt with a strangely inflated left waist. When Lieutenant Colonel Callis put his finger through the gap, a space cleverly hidden through the leather gap appeared. Lieutenant Colonel Callis took out three packages from there.
‘The three packages he gave me.’
She doesn’t even know the contents. Because ‘The Warrant of All Things’ emphasized that you should never open it until the situation comes. So, Kalis tried to save as much as possible.
But now was not the time to choose the means and methods.
‘One for contact. Another one for escape.’
The time for contact is not yet. This is on hold.
The escape dragon was given to him to use when there was no hope, when he had to escape from the abyss. This is also on hold… .
‘Should I hold off?’
Kalis unwittingly reached for the escape package, noticing what he was about to do, and clasped her hands tightly. She took a deep breath and licked her lips.
‘Not yet, not yet. I haven’t accomplished anything yet, so don’t let your heart weaken already.’
Kalis, who had barely regained his composure, pushed the escape pocket deep with his trembling fingers.
Now there’s only one left.
‘And the last one… This is when you need help.’
don’t know what’s in it
But hope can only inflate when invisible.
Callis pulled out a pack of leather with a glimmer of hope.
A secret society with its roots spread deep within the military, the lord of all things. As it is a trump card they left behind, I hope that there is something that will change the game.
‘please. I hope there is something to overcome this difficulty… !’
With a desperate wish, Lieutenant Colonel Callis opened the package.
