Chapter 382 – Patrol (3)
When the survivors set up a camp after the world collapses, a powerful leader naturally emerges there.
There are still those who try to maintain their pre-war morals, but there are many more who have become intoxicated with power and faithful to their desires.
In the first place, in a world like this, it is easy for those with strength, violence, and charisma to become leaders, so it may be natural.
In the hearts of such people, a desire naturally emerged.
It is the desire to possess idols by force in a world of broken rule of law and the rule of the fittest.
Actors who once appeared in movies and dramas, models who showed off their figures on huge advertising banners at department stores, and popular streamers with numerous subscribers.
In the past, distant celestial beings whose shadows would not even dare to step on.
Such people walk around like beggars, with water running down their sides.
To those in power, it would have looked like a walking wild ginseng. A sexy wild ginseng that looks like a human.
Bosses offered former stars to come under their wing, and those deals usually fell through.
Whether they voluntarily accept it for better food and safety, or are semi-forcibly taken.
The story of a gang leader who has all the members of an unpopular girl group as concubines is not that special.
Similar situations have happened to me several times.
Organizations we have relationships with have offered us various gifts to impress us, and some of them have included celebrities.
Of course, it is not a slave trade.
Before the war, it was closer to celebrities who were confident in their fame or beauty trying to enter the shelter by using warlords as brokers.
“Oh! “She’s the heroine of the romantic movie we watched together.”
Among them are characters from works that Artemis and I enjoyed together.
“Do you think you’re interested? Do you want this woman?”
Artemis analyzed my expression and spoke seductively.
“No. “I was just amazed at how he managed to be an actor because his facial expressions were the same in all situations.”
“Aha, that was kind of curiosity.”
Afterward, similar situations occurred several times, but no particular interest arose.
This is because there are already several dedicated, capable, and attractive women around, so there is no need to be more greedy.
Thanks to this, among the many celebrities who applied, the ones who were able to enter the shelter were not those with outstanding looks.
Comedians made up a significant number of people.
* * *
The shelter station run by Kiz was usually an empty place with only her AI, a few of her robots, and a very small number of resident helpers.
But it’s a little noisy now.
You can see people practicing scripts and carrying props, as if preparing for a comedy show.
[The manager’s visit is an honor, but I’m also sorry.]
Kiz bowed her head.
“What are you sorry for?”
[I want to show you only beautiful things in your precious eyes, but the only people gathered now are Orcs and Orangutan-like people…]
“Your words are too harsh.”
[This is the part they said first. Wouldn’t it be ironic if I couldn’t praise it because it was a weapon that helped me get a good position?]
To put it bluntly, many of the comedians in preparation belonged to the physical group.
People who have the ability to make people around them laugh just by making an exaggerated facial expression without any special makeup.
Of course, there are people who have an ordinary appearance but are famous for their unique way of speaking.
These were the celebrity awards I wanted the most.
Nowadays, I think one funny person is more worthy of taking over Shelter’s broadcasting station than 100 pretty girls.
What the survivors outside lack the most is laughter. It is a joy that will give you strength every day.
“Everyone is so motivated.”
Two men hitting and falling while working together as if doing a slapstick comedy.
A man who constantly talks to himself, perhaps trying to imitate his vocal cords or do stand-up comedy.
You can see men and women dressed up as searchers and raiders, as if they were filming Mad Max, and looking to attack each other.
[All humans have a natural desire to be noticed. Comedians tend to have a particularly strong desire for that. He has endured it for as many as five years.]
“You must have a lot of ideas.”
[That’s right. Unleashing your comedic instincts accumulated over 5 years without a stage to show! How exciting can this be? How much more will your mouth and body be itching?]
In today’s world, Shelter Broadcasting Station is the only place that can broadcast nationally.
Broadcast stage, various professional equipment, makeup tools, clothing, private frequencies for transmission, low-orbit satellites, and even our own base stations.
It has everything.
[He even said that he would work hard even if I only gave him bananas as his salary instead of money. He was so embarrassed when I gave him a real banana as a snack that day.]
Kids giggled.
Are you really surprised that I thought you were going to pamper me with bananas?
Or are you surprised by the infrastructure that allows you to eat bananas in a world like this?
“That person was alive too.”
I discovered comedians who were famous for fat jokes.
They were active as a three-member group, but there were only two people.
[Unfortunately, one of the trio was conscripted and died during the infection war.]
“I see.”
Both of them have been on forced diets for the past five years, so they have become thin and can no longer use their organs.
Well, in these days when everyone is struggling to make a living anyway, if you make a joke about fat people, you’ll get a lot of criticism instead of laughter. Position change will be essential.
[Would you like to watch the rehearsal? I will make you laugh properly in the special seating area.]
Kids led me with a confident face.
* * *
But the rehearsal was a huge failure.
This was because it was their first performance in 5 years, and when the shelter manager personally came to watch, the comedians were very nervous and forgot their lines or made mistakes.
[Oh my.]
Kids didn’t know what to do with that disgusting behavior.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Something that was just funny. If you does it right and without mistakes, everyone will turn around.”
But that alone made me unable to hold back laughter.
Among the many entertainments that can be enjoyed in the shelter, the only thing that could not be realized was the human comedy stage.
Also, the apocalyptic comedy I learned in this world of competition for survival was very refreshing.
Comedians do not hesitate to use hard material such as murder, looting, robbery, prostitution, and drugs.
It’s at a level where most American black comedies can be told to go away.
Everyone’s venom was heightened as they tried to survive, and now there’s no one to make a fuss about being uncomfortable, so it’s only natural.
As I walked around the broadcasting station under the guidance of Kids, I was able to spot people other than comedians.
I thought it would be natural for a singer to practice singing, but there are also people who were completely unexpected.
“Is that a nude pictorial?”
A group of women, almost completely naked, are taking a pictorial under flashy red lights.
It’s just a high-level shot that goes beyond something like Maxim and is close to hustling.
[Nude pictorials are too classy expressions, and it would be more accurate to call them pornography.]
“… This is your base, right?”
[Yes, but is it a problem?]
“It’s done. If the landlord is okay with it, that’s fine.”
Artemis, Chrollo, and Rose each have administrative districts they consider special.
Even a lithe guy like Chrollo required strict order and cleanliness in such a place.
If you were to say that you were going to film porn at the police headquarters, even if you were Rose, your expression would be clouded.
[No matter how much the world has improved thanks to vaccines, life is like war every day, right?]
“Yes. Even though the infectious agent has weakened and decreased, it can still be seen everywhere.”
In addition, there are limited food and resources, fights over housing, lawlessness and fighting caused by desire, and even attacks by wild animals that have increased significantly.
[The manager is also a soldier who served in various battlefields during his active duty, so you will understand.]
Where Kiz points, there is a Latina woman sitting with her breasts exposed and her legs wide open.
Caressing her own nipples with her fingers and licking her lips with a lewd look.
Her pubic hair was sticking out because she was wearing thin translucent panties that were less than 2 cm wide around her crotch.
In the booth next to it, there is an Asian woman completely naked with her legs in the air like a ballerina.
[How much support such an erotic photo can provide to the hearts of soldiers risking their lives in the field!]
“There was never a case of an American armored vehicle that was taken while deployed and did not have obscene pictures posted inside.”
[That’s right!]
Kiz nodded her head enthusiastically.
[Five years have passed! A whopping 5 years! And that’s in very poor and difficult living conditions! Those that came out before would have been scorched, lost all color, tattered, or torn.]
Kids’ hologram changed into her pure white saint’s clothes and took a praying posture.
Her eyes are closed reverently, her hands are clasped together, and a pendant in the shape of red female lips hangs on her neck instead of a cross necklace.
[Then wouldn’t it mean that someone should take on that responsibility and create a new one and distribute it?]
“It’s definitely something someone needs to do.”
[At one military station, violence and even acrimony broke out over the last remaining Maxim magazine? With that, three soldiers and one officer went to the stockade.]
“Oh my god.”
But the sad reality is that this is really understandable.
[After hearing that story, I decided. I, Life Manager Kids, should become the last digital pimp of this era. People can’t live with only security and supplies, right?]
He has a noble heart that is admirable, but there is a problem.
“But would Artemis allow me to use paper and ink here? “As soon as they heard it, they would have raised an uproar, saying it was unclean and a waste of resources.”
Just thinking about it, there is no way that man-hating goddess would accept the production of pornographic magazines or nude cards.
Even if Artemis turns a blind eye since the photography itself is Kiz’s exclusive right, the resources required to print her photos are a separate matter.
[Chuck!]
Kids looks at me with an even more earnest look than when she just prayed.
From that look, I was able to catch the voice in her heart that she couldn’t bring herself to say out loud.
“Okay, I’ll carry the gun. “This is something only I can do.”
[I am devastated! All men on the Korean Peninsula will praise the manager’s grace!]
Kids bowed to me with her sincere respect and gratitude.
Whether you persuade Artemis or ignore it and order forced printing with administrator privileges, this must be passed.
For the soldiers who risk their lives and defend their positions every day on the Korean Peninsula, and for the workers who are deployed to do difficult work that someone must do!
