EP.179 Wishes come true
It was dark at night. A faint nightlight that wouldn’t disturb sleep tickled Abby’s bangs, then faded. At some point, like an unexpected night, Abby woke up naturally.
Abbie, who quietly opened her eyes, blinked her eyes for a moment, then jumped up from the bed as if struck by lightning.
“What?! When the hell does the main building go to sleep…?”
Aby, who was alone with Jik-nyeo at a restaurant, fell asleep while listening to the story she told.
This is Abbie, who has been using her magical energy excessively for the past few days and has been exploring each area of the military. It was physically and mentally taxing.
Even if it’s not necessarily that, anyone will fall asleep while listening to a calm story amidst a full stomach and the scent of warm black tea.
“I don’t care…!”
Sepier in a suit was sitting leisurely beside Abby, who woke up in the middle of the night.
“Are you awake, Captain?”
As if he had expected all of this, Sepier was so calm.
Abbie hurriedly stood up and looked around.
“question. Where has he gone?”
“You left first. Leave a message that you will be waiting.”
“…Is that so…”
Abbey’s voice sank.
Even today, she was full of expectations for the happiness she would feel at the end of her life.
An ordinary marriage and a sad farewell.
It was only a formality, but it was enough decoration to decorate her last.
However, the opponent was a giant beyond imagination who had nothing to regret at all. With a holding company as his back, he moves secretly in the back alleys and influences everywhere.
Maybe… He…
Abbey closed her eyes tightly and cut off her thoughts. It wasn’t a time like this.
“The main building has a calling to do. Could you lend me a carriage for an official business?”
“It’s very easy to rent a carriage. But can I go in that outfit?”
“clothes?”
Belatedly, Abby noticed that her clothes had changed.
Instead of the uniform she always wore, yellow, fluffy clothes covered her entire body. It was an indescribably grotesque outfit made of soft fur from the shoulders to the legs.
In the meantime, the soft touch of the fur clothing was excellent, so Aby felt as cozy as lying on a bed just by wearing this clothing.
“What are these unusual clothes?”
“It’s a special chick pajama that I made myself. It is a masterpiece that came out after thinking about how much the texture of the fur could be expressed with the Aki Avatar.”
“That’s not what the headmaster said! I asked why the headmaster’s clothes became this!”
“I tried it on because it seemed to suit me. It actually fits pretty well. I’ll take care of it, so take it with you.”
“refuse!”
The captain hurriedly opened the packet, but it took quite a long time for the pajamas with fine hair added to each alchemist to return to the packet.
Sepier muttered.
“It’s the middle of the night, so let’s get some more rest. Are you leaving now?”
“The headmaster has work to do. There is no more time to waste now!”
“What are you going to do, Captain?”
“It’s confidential!”
Sepier replied casually, as if he was accustomed to answering like a soldier.
“Then, please answer only the non-confidential parts. I need to hear the captain’s destination so that I can refer to how far my carriage will go.”
It was a threat, not a threat, to tell him to some extent if he didn’t want to get off, like being kicked out of a carriage in the middle.
Abby wanted to point out the other person’s attitude, but stopped with her heart. Jiknyeo’s citizen level is level 5. He is taller than A.B. and is a master of military secrets.
It is not a leak of confidentiality even if it is not strictly confidential regarding the communications soldier. Regardless of Ab’s affiliation, the action AB is trying to take now is to protect the security of the military.
After completing the calculation, Aby answered.
“The head office must investigate and monitor both the ‘Shadow’ and the ‘Magician’ operating secretly in the 10th Division. Now that we have almost figured out their plot, we will keep track of their trends and intervene at the right moment.”
“A magician?”
Seeing this unexpected fact, Sepier asked with a hint of doubt.
“Why is the captain of the military looking for them?”
“…I don’t know why you’re asking about him. It is also the duty of a soldier to punish reactionaries and protect the security of the military.”
“Hmm. ‘Shadow’ and ‘Magician’ d. Even if it is a vicious group that has maintained its existence since the days of the Shadow Kingdom, why are there magicians?”
Why is Sepier Bakia, a resident of District 1, so knowledgeable about unrelated back alley situations?
Clothing packets, which would normally change in an instant, were slow to change today. It still seemed like it would take some time for the packets to be released.
Abby said what she had been thinking.
“Shadows are heinous criminals intent on committing heinous crimes. A magician is a breeding ground for all sorts of crimes.”
“yes. Compared to the shadows, what the magician did is cute.”
“Positive. That is the problem.”
He said that a magician who has survived like a weed for a long time is much more dangerous than an openly rampaging shadow. Abby said firmly.
“The magician blurs his disapproval of the offense. He was a criminal who gambled, blackmailed, extorted, pickpocketed, etc., and did things in ways beyond imagination, but no one bothered or informed him. Either they are praised or feared, or they only show one or the other.”
Sepier nodded softly, as if he had done the same.
It was a smile with multiple meanings. Abby continued to speak, feeling the back of her neck gradually grow cold.
“Citizens watch him, who is no different from a hotbed of petty crime… or stand by. It shouldn’t be like that. Laws must be obeyed and penalties must be severe. Only then will a society built on law and order be maintained.”
“So to arrest even the magician.”
“…Positive. but.”
Abbie’s lips were dry.
“If the magician actively cooperates with the headmaster and helps to dispel the shadows… Depending on the situation, suspicions can be passed without being pursued.”
“Is it okay to be a captain who has to obey the law?”
“Since he was not caught red-handed, there is no basis to prove the crime. It’s just circumstantial evidence. so.”
please don’t
Abby desperately wished for it.
Sefi shattered Abbie’s hopes.
“You seem to have a rough guess. What a relief. The effort to explain is reduced.”
Sepier welcomed Abby with open arms. Right after that, Abby’s nightgown completely came off, revealing her pure white naked body.
Looking at Abbie, who had become completely defenseless, Sepier told the truth.
With a smile full of superiority from those who knew the secret in advance to those who did not.
“yes that’s right. The one who came with you is the magician and my master.”
Abbey closed her mouth and picked up the uniform packet on the table and inserted it into the biometric device. The alchemist settled over her soft curves. After that, tens of thousands of alchemists were molded one after another, and a black uniform was built over Abbie’s body.
It took only a few seconds for Abbie to become a captain in the military. The captain grabbed his officer’s cap and stood up. Captain Abbey walked past Sepier and out the door of the room.
Sepier followed Abby as she strode along.
“I will cooperate, Captain. I will lend you my carriage.”
As if they had prepared in advance, a coachman with grown sideburns pulled the wagon right away. Sepier put Abby in the back seat and quickly took a seat next to him.
Abby glanced at Sepier, who was sitting next to her.
“…The main building is in operation. We cannot guarantee your safety from the dark side.”
“does not matter. Because I can protect myself.”
“In addition, all military operations carried out by the armed forces are classified as military. We cannot inform you of the operation as you are only a civilian.”
“But you have to tell me how far this carriage will go. Is that efficient?”
A way of speaking that seems to force the opponent to agree through an argument. Sepier’s words reflected his shadow. It seems that what he taught was not only knowledge.
It was then that Abby realized that she knew nothing about him. Abby murmured sadly.
“…Where did the acting begin? Where did his plan come from?”
A magician who ruled the back alleys of the military and a criminal sponsored by the holding company Cheon Uimubong.
Even if it has already been revealed, it is a giant beyond imagination. To the extent that it is rather strange that he was imprisoned in the abyss as a simple laborer.
“What on earth was the magician aiming for to approach the main building…?”
I’ve never dug up any information, and I’ve never tried to use AB. He responded to every request and was considerate of this and that for Abby.
Even the reward Abbey thought of as much as possible was meaningless to him. He readily accepted Abby’s request.
The easiest answer to the question of ‘why?’ would be to have a crush on Abbie.
But what kind of crush is it?
“I don’t know. Probably no one but Master knows.”
Confusion and doubt in vague favor.
Sepierre was delighted with the birth of a comrade, seeing Abby feeling the emotions of graduating a long time ago.
“But one thing is certain. Master will make your wish come true in a way no one expected.”
“impossible. The headmaster… does not have the same wishes as you.”
Born in a military country and raised as a telecommunications soldier, she has lived in a dark room with all the information about the military country.
Abbey had no desire to achieve it on her own. There is only duty…
“Aha.”
Sepier, who realized something from Abby’s words, gave a small sigh.
“I get it now. Master intends to give you a gift of hope. Your own hopes that are more important than obligations.”
A hideout in District 14.
Wolfen, who summoned the ‘shadows’ ahead of the great work, finally opened his mouth after a long wait.
“…The decision is tomorrow.”
Half-submerged in the shadows, Wolfen solemnly declared.
“Tomorrow the military will be in a crucible of chaos. A shadow of fire will cover this city. We will get rid of the seungnyang who took their place for a while, and we, the true darkness, will move in secret.”
The ‘shadows’ cheered as they recalled their world to come soon. Cheers that swallowed the sound filled the meeting room with quiet heat.
Wolfen raised his sword. I didn’t even show the drawing posture, but the small sword with the blade painted black was there like a ghost.
“The system… is meaningful only when it is used. O military nation, a nation of earth and iron born from the corpses of kingdoms. I will use it for your system bones.”
From now on, the shadow of the military will be their domain.
The Anti-Shadows, who heard of Wolfen’s plan, quietly called their henchmen. Those who can be called middle management positions in their own way, and action leaders who actually move.
“The decision is tomorrow. to be ready.”
“I was waiting. It was hard to dry.”
“Keep it off until tomorrow. There should be no disruption to the plan. Like a dam bursting tomorrow. Only when we move at once will we be able to turn the country upside down.”
It might be a highly trained shadow, but it’s easier to tip in order to move quickly with a group of idiots. The anti-shadows conveyed the message to their henchmen in various places.
Like a wave on a dark night, the shadow’s plan spread quietly and secretly…
“Today is the day of execution!”
“Wow!”
“Let’s go in!”
“It is a revolution! Turn this damn country upside down!”
“market? family? Condescending to the same rubbish subject! Run over!”
“Cops are people too! Don’t be afraid!”
The oil had not yet been sprinkled, but fires raged all over Amitengrad.
