Episode 100 Leon’s whereabouts.
* * *
In the end, I stayed up all night with open eyes.
I searched for a way to help Priscilla until the purple sky regained its blue light, but I couldn’t come up with any solution.
It was such a difficult situation.
“Aren’t you sleeping?”
“Oh, I have a lot to think about.”
“Is it that important? Enough to keep you from sleeping? He’s alive, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Okay, he’s alive. In a few years, it will reveal itself.”
“But, what’s the matter?”
“You will appear as a villain. threaten our lives.”
Aina’s expression hardened.
And, not knowing how things are going, he glances at Priscilla, who is asleep.
“It’s a pain in the ass.”
“Huh, I don’t know how to deal with it.”
“You made a big mistake.”
“mistake? What mistake have I made?”
What mistake did I make?
I don’t feel it
“I gave Priscilla hope because you said you were alive.”
“Is it anticipation?”
“Yeah, come to think of it, this is a problem that doesn’t have to be so hard to approach.”
“How did we solve it?”
“I’m going to find Leon before Priscilla and kill him.”
“it’s crazy?”
No matter how Ainara was, this was a story that could not be overlooked.
To kill someone who is alive and well.
Even he didn’t do anything wrong.
Rather, he was just a poor human being framed.
I am also a person with values that are very different from other people, but I did not dye my roots black like this.
“Calm down and listen to the end of the story. As long as Priscilla knows whether Leon is alive or not, this plan is meaningless.”
“Anyway, that’s not a story to tell.”
“It would be incomprehensible to you as a good-natured person. However, there is no denying that this is the most realistic option.”
“Life is not a pendulum that exists to weigh reality and ideals.”
“I want you to understand me as I understand you. The Mitsuru family is the place where I chose it as a family business and as a way of survival. I have lived my whole life in such a place. Naturally, such a conclusion is inevitable.”
Yes, I had forgotten what kind of person Mitsuru Aina was.
What she showed me was just a sweet and soft side, but she was a wicked existence with poison and thorns by nature.
However, I had made up my mind that I would love even that, and had her in my heart, so I couldn’t come and complain about it.
Isn’t that also part of her?
“Well, it didn’t really happen. Maybe I was being too sensitive.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
“So, what do you think we should do?”
“It’s too complicated. You and Priscilla didn’t want to be in a relationship with Leon that tried to kill each other, so you said that.”
“right.”
Aina took a deep breath and continued the story.
“I have no choice but to find out Leon’s whereabouts as soon as possible and reunite with Priscilla. But it’s easy to say, and in reality, it’s almost impossible, you know?”
“I will.”
“Leon is famous for leaving very few traces. The remaining traces must have been erased by the Cosmos Special Forces. There is no clue whatsoever.”
I decided to tell him about his background, in case it would be of any help.
“I’m not going to call it a clue, but I do know his background.”
“What?”
“While he was still serving in the Cosmos Special Forces, there was an incident where his mission failed and the crew was annihilated. The upper management placed all the blame on Leon. Maybe that’s why it turned black.”
Aina’s eyes flutter.
It was such a subtlety that no one else would ever notice, but I, who had been with her for a long time, noticed it.
I’ve noticed something.
“Did you get any clues?”
“I don’t want to talk much.”
“What is it?”
“You know that the prisoners who are usually imprisoned in Griffon Prison are very famous villains, right?”
“know.”
“Really, sometimes, there are nameless prisoners. Those guys whose information is never disclosed.”
Nameless prisoner.
It’s weird no matter how you look at it.
Do you really need to hide the prisoners’ information?
It would be very difficult to escape.
“Why are these guys there?”
“I only know the people who work there… We’re guessing so. People who have been politically removed. Once locked up, he didn’t commit a crime worthy of imprisonment there. So, I’m hiding names and information. It shouldn’t be known that they were arrested without a good cause.”
“In that case, wouldn’t it be better to kill mice and birds without knowing it? Why are you removing it in such a cumbersome way?”
“He’s too big to kill. It becomes difficult when it is known that the party in power ordered the assassination. It is convenient to think of it as a form of exile or exile. Power is a cyclical structure. We stop at a reasonable level, considering that the same level of retaliation will come when the other side regains power.”
“Even considering that, I don’t think it’s an efficient way.”
“It’s also there to protect that person. Since the information is not disclosed at all, it is safe from attacks by the media, and you can relax without getting caught up in troublesome work.”
This is where the internal politics will come in.
Well, there are a lot of complicated things involved.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
My head is already hurting.“But, what does that have to do with Leon’s whereabouts?”
“There are rumors circulating that one of those unnamed prisoners managed to escape from Griffon Prison.”
“no way.”
“Yeah, do you understand? According to you, Leon was removed by the superiors. There’s nothing awkward about thinking you’re one of them. But, there’s no way politicians can escape from Griffon Prison, right? However… It would be possible if you were a member of the Cosmos Special Forces.”
Certainly, it is a plausible argument.
I can fully explain why he is missing.
But, why did you say you didn’t want to explain it to me?
At first, I thought he was saying this because he was jealous of how he took care of Priscilla, but it didn’t seem that way.
“Thank you for explaining. But why did you say you didn’t want to explain it to me?”
“If you tell me you escaped from Griffon Prison, I’m sure who you’re going to call.”
“ah… Professor Serena?”
“okay.”
Aina looks at me with her narrowed eyes.
There was an unspoken pressure coming in, saying, ‘Do I really need to contact that big-breasted woman?’
“Isn’t Professor Serena a good enough person?”
“Are you saying that even when you look into that person’s eyes?”
“How are your eyes, Professor?”
“He looked like he was going to be raped. I’m glad you’re a minor.”
that much?
Sometimes they make scary gestures, but I don’t think they’re that great.
“Well, it will be fine.”
“I also don’t believe in rumors floating around all the time. But, trust my senses.”
“okay okay. I’ll be careful.”
She was still looking at me with distasteful eyes.
No, I’ve heard the story about old virgins’ s*xual desire, but I don’t think they’ll feel lust for me anyway.
I quickly dialed Serena’s number registered on her cell phone.
“hello. Professor Serena, right?”
Are you Sungjin? What’s up?
“Yes, I have a question for you.”
yes, it’s ok to ask
“It might be a rude question, but it’s about my time in Gryphon Prison.”
I hope Serena doesn’t take it badly.
He has a cool personality, so it seems like he will accept it without much thought.
He’s the kind of person who doesn’t hesitate to say things that other people wouldn’t be able to do because he’s shy.
are you okay. What?
“Do you know anything about the unnamed prisoner?”
Oh, they? I remember it was nothing. Me and them, I usually live in a solitary room, so I don’t know the details.
“Was there anyone out there who was a little unusual?”
there was one Not a guy like San-nim, but a guy who could have killed a real person.
I was sure
That person is Leon.
“Do you know about the whereabouts of that person?”
I don’t know in detail. But from the memories of overhearing the prison guards, I think they said that they flew towards South Africa.
I’m going crazy
Why did you run away to that place?
No, there was no other place to escape than that.
I’m sorry.
“thank you.”
But, why ask?
“I’m looking for him.”
Well… As far as I can remember, the person itself wasn’t bad. But, I’m sure he’s a dangerous bastard. I think it would be better not to bother looking for it. Because that town is too dangerous for little kids like you to enter.
That’s a problem too.
Well, let’s think about what to do later.
It’s a satisfactory achievement just by confirming the location.
“I don’t mean to go in right now.”
Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on, but I hope things go well with that bastard. Am I busy? I’ll call you back when I’m free.
“Yes, good work.”
It would be helpful to know that Serena is from Griffon Prison.
Thanks, I got a very good clue.
“found.”
“Where is Leon now?”
“The last place I left was for South Africa.”
“It’s getting worse. So, what are you going to do?”
“You have to think slowly about what to do next.”
Priscilla was still asleep without knowing the world.
However, it didn’t look as comfortable as the expression on his face.
He had a sad expression on his face somewhere.
Don’t worry, Priscilla.
Do your best so that your brother doesn’t get hurt.
