Chapter 387 – I Want You to Leave Now (2)
“Now, would you like to guide me?”
“We will meet you right away!”
Although many instructions were omitted, it is Sofiya who survived through sheer ingenuity.
I immediately realized that the intention was to guide people to a quiet place as it was annoying to gather all the attention of those around them.
The black guard carried the unconscious tattooed man on his shoulders and quickly disappeared.
“Here we go!”
At a glance, the place I was guided to was a reception room used to welcome important guests.
Artworks that look like they were stolen from a museum are decorated here and there.
The large sofa in the center is covered with a white cover that appears to be fur.
Let’s sit down on it and it crashes! And I hear the door closing.
“What are you doing?”
Sophia was sticking a flat bamboo stick on the floor.
As I quickly lay down wearing a thin slit skirt, the line of my underwear was exposed on my firm buttocks. Before I started talking, I felt more sorry for myself.
That posture was the standard for Togeza, perfect enough to be included in a Japanese etiquette book.
“Sorry! “I didn’t manage the water properly, so I dared to ask the manager…”
“It’s okay, sit down.”
“Thank you!”
“Stop making a fuss.”
“Thank you!”
“…”
I feel like she is definitely a step below Sasha in terms of composure and responsiveness.
No matter how super powerful she is, Sophia is very timid, and her brain seems to spin when she gets embarrassed.
“You must be the manager of this place, right? “I heard that those with great shoulders are called madam.”
“Oh, Vincent? Our action team… Oh, no, it’s the manager. And as you said, I am the manager here. Artemis entrusted me with an important responsibility.”
A feeling of pride appeared on Sophia’s face.
The saying ‘customer is king’ has long been a thing of the past.
It is different from the pre-war society where department store managers had to bow down to just one customer.
In these days, running a store is proof of someone being powerful, and if the location is prime, it goes without saying.
It’s because she always bows down to me, and the woman in front of me is also one of the powerful people in the post-apocalyptic era.
He must have left the shelter because he liked the taste of power.
But I have one question.
“That’s surprising. “I think the positions have been reversed with Sasha.”
When they stayed at the shelter, their relationship was not like that of a cat and a mouse, but was similar to that of a nutria and a wild cat.
A relationship where if one side gets scratched, the other side has no choice but to get hit.
If he were to act as the boss of a gambling house, Sasha would naturally want a prime casino that was high-quality in all aspects.
“…”
The venomous expression on Sophia’s cautious expression rose for a moment and then disappeared.
For her, Sasha is like a kind of stimpack for her, and it seems like she gets heated just by hearing it. She even gave me courage that I didn’t have before.
“Are you angry?”
“No! “You are welcome.”
Judging by the way he quickly manages his facial expressions, it doesn’t seem like he wasted all his three years of being the head of this casino.
“Actually, what you said is correct, Manager. When Artemis was considering people to work outside, the first person selected for the manager position here was Sasha…”
As she spoke, her expression slightly distorted and straightened repeatedly.
When she was immature, she fell for Sasha and ruined her life. It seems that she was upset that she was evaluated as inferior.
“But why?”
“Sasha refused and went to her police on her own feet.”
She was able to get a good position thanks to the helpless bitch who helped her out, but of course she didn’t show any signs of gratitude.
“I don’t understand. “Isn’t it much more fun to stay here?”
I swept my palm across the surface of the sofa I was sitting on. It feels soft and soft, like touching a dog’s stomach.
Like chairs, sofas are furniture that can only be found in good camps.
Even they tend to be old, damaged, or not maintained properly, causing a musty smell.
The one I’m sitting in right now can be considered a top-class product by standards outside the shelter.
Compared to this, the sofa in the executive room of Sasha’s gambling house is only a mid-level product at best.
Moreover, the smell of cheap cosmetics and cigarettes used by prostitutes was everywhere.
This place even has a faint aroma, as if it was delivered from a shelter.
“I can’t believe that that greedy woman left this great casino and went to a rough and dirty slum.”
There is a saying that it is better to work as a servant to Jeongseung’s house.
“It’s simple. “It’s Sasha, right?”
“Please explain in a non-simplistic way.”
“Oh! Well, that is.”
Sophia, with an expression that said, ‘I’m crazy now,’ politely placed her hands on her lower abdomen again.
“Didn’t you shake your fist at some gangster a little while ago?”
“I’m sorry about that. But it was self-defense.”
“I didn’t dare to criticize you! You have nothing to be sorry about. Even if you shoot here, no one will say anything.”
Sophia quickly shook her hands and head.
Of course, no matter how upset I get, I have no intention of shooting.
“But what do you think would have happened if it had been someone else rather than the manager who had swung the fist?”
“Wouldn’t it have been so exciting that it exploded and then been dragged and thrown outside the entrance?”
It reminded me of a cliché that often appears in movies featuring clubs and gambling dens.
“You will be dragged, but you will not be beaten. Well, I don’t know about just one.”
“After all, prime is prime.”
“Yes! This is the pinnacle of all culture!… It’s not a resort, it’s the next resort after the shelter. Hehe.”
It seems like the answer is slowly coming into view.
“I don’t think Sasha would be the type to be that satisfied.”
“Of course! Would you leave a person with such a devilish personality and causing trouble in his workplace? You have to strip her naked, hang her upside down, and use a stick to relieve her stiffness. Even the cigarettes I smoke leave a black mark on my butt.”
As soon as Sasha’s story comes up, it becomes clear water.
“Since she couldn’t do that here, she went to the slums where she could break things to her heart’s content and see blood?”
“That’s it! The manager’s insight is truly…”
“Ah, that’s enough. I guess it’s been quite a while since I’ve flattered you? “I’m very clumsy.”
“Ah, yes.”
Sophie lowers her head with an embarrassed face.
“Sasha is a little different. “Is she skilled because she has so much experience dealing with dignitaries?”
Ppadeuk.
With my improved hearing, I could faintly hear the sound of teeth grinding.
“I’m not the type to lose my temper and work like a salaried boss. “I would rather be the boss in a dirty and rough gambling house.”
“That’s right! “Sasha needs to be able to crush the noses of people she doesn’t like with her fist whenever she wants to get more angry.”
One name, and she immediately picks up her face and starts chattering.
“Sasha says she likes to fuck men, is that true?”
“Yes. But how could that be…”
I told her a story about how one of Sasha’s subordinates mistook me for her bottom.
When I described Sasha, who was as pale as a corpse at the time, Sophia was so happy that she wanted to die.
“Sasha’s punishment has a set repertoire. “She punched a subordinate who made a mistake due to her lack of ability, kicked a subordinate who couldn’t take care of her subordinates, and the last time she defeated someone who was her enemy…”
She, who was speaking lively, hesitated for a moment.
“Speak comfortably. “It means that it hurts when you wear a penis band.”
“She calls it planting the flag.”
“Flag?”
“Whether the opponent is a woman or a man, you have to stab them from behind to truly feel like you have won and conquered.”
“There really isn’t a separate women’s department. “It would have been great if she had been born a man.”
“I used to say it out of habit. He said it would be great if he had a dick attached to him.”
“Tsk tsk.”
As I was listening, I couldn’t help but laugh.
She crawled in front of me, and she was a tougher woman than I imagined.
Knock.
“Come in.”
Sophia said at the knock.
A beautiful Slavic woman comes in and greets us politely, offering her tea and refreshments.
I looked at her, cupping her chin.
Seeing me like that, Sophia stopped the woman who was about to leave.
“If she likes this child…”
And she encourages in a subtle tone.
They say that those who hate become similar, and this part is exactly what Sasha said.
“It feels like a face I’ve seen before.”
“Ah, I am a resident of the shelter. I brought it with me when I left. “You may have remembered me because you were always with me.”
“Did you come out voluntarily?”
“Sure. “This kid is similar to me.”
It means that there is a greed for power. They both looked innocent and harmless, which suited them very well.
When I gestured for her to leave, the woman greeted me politely and left.
“Artemis wouldn’t have put you here just to give you a good experience, so what are you responsible for? “Is it an information book like Sasha?”
“There is that, but I have received a separate, important mission.”
Sophia looked around before speaking.
Even though it’s just the two of us, it seems like a top secret mission.
“I mean thinning out.”
She said in a whisper.
‘It’s almost time to clean Prime.’
Before I left, Artemis’ words came to mind.
“Did you know that this entire city was built as a means to find the manager?”
“Huh. “We have to gather every little piece of information, and sometimes we have to provide refuge when the target of our dealings betrays our organization.”
In addition, being a paradise-like city provides a tremendous advantage in negotiations with external forces or individuals.
Even those who cannot be bribed have no choice but to break down in front of the comfort of their family.
“Artemis has made a lot of transactions in the process of looking for a manager. Most of it was just nonsense. Of course, right? My arrival was delayed because I was stuck in a gap in space and time, so how can I find it?”
It is said that many people have complained about his arrogant personality.
“Still, she stretched out her hands and feet in all directions, feeling like she was grasping at straws. Then, people like bastards are bound to creep in.”
“Artemis might not recognize it, but she couldn’t have done anything about it.”
“Yes. If there was even a 0.1% chance, I had to take a chance. Thanks to this, Prime is heaven on earth, but not only those who fit the quality are admitted.”
“Like the guy who grabbed me by the collar earlier?”
“That’s right. “Artemis has been wanting to get rid of substandard residents from the moment she found the manager, or even before that.”
“That’s what I meant when I said it was time to clean up.”
I agree, but there is one problem.
“But a contract is a contract, right? Now you can’t just say, ‘I found what I was looking for, so get out of the way.'”
“Of course. There is the honor and dignity of Artemis. Instead, we are trying to use an indirect method.”
Sophia smiled sinisterly.
“People who live in Prime are definitely living the best life, but that doesn’t mean they can live like unemployed people. “Everyone has a role to play and even pays taxes.”
“What Artemis guarantees is a place for prime occupancy and stable income.”
No matter how disappointing the situation may be, Artemis is not the kind of person who will engage in business dealings at a level where one can just play around.
Sophia placed her hand on her chest.
“My role is like a tumor, so to speak.”
“That’s a scary metaphor?”
“Is that so? But there is no analogy more accurate than this. There is a killing order set by Artemis. “I am instilling in them a tumor called hedonism.”
She waved her hand and pointed to this casino.
“Gambling is just the beginning. Possession of alcohol, women, luxury, and prohibited items. “There are many ways to bring down residents.”
“Are all the customers here on the killing squad? There were too many numbers for that. There were several people who looked gentle.”
Among the guests, scientists, engineers, and doctors who were famous before the war were often seen.
“Of course not. Basically, this is a fun casino and a great hotel. “It’s just that my subordinates and I stick to ‘some targets’ and do active work.”
“Like white blood cells that attach to germs.”
“That is an accurate analogy!”
“You said it was a tumor earlier?”
“Hehe, white blood cells sound better than tumors.”
Sophia seemed to have gotten used to it and continued the conversation comfortably.
“What if the guy on the death squad doesn’t come here?”
“Those who deserve to be put on the killing squad cannot give up pleasure in the first place. Even if you leave it alone, it will creep in. Moreover, this casino is not the only trap in Prime. “Dangerous women are lurking everywhere.”
“Are you the one in charge of that?”
“Yes. To lure unnecessary people into pleasure and deviate from the orbit. That is the most important mission I received from Artemis. “I’ve already sent double digits.”
Sophia smiled.
Unlike Sasha, who exudes an overtly dangerous odor, she appears innocent yet has a hint of sinisterness.
Although it may seem like a fool, Sophia also rose to the top in the body of a woman from the underworld.
That poison will never weaken.
“Is this what you said you would find out when you get there? The residents really use it frugally.”
“Do you see that monitor?”
Sophia pointed to the large screen in the corner of her living room.
“Once a week, I report directly to Artemis face to face.”
“Is it that much?”
She is basically a laissez-faire person and doesn’t bother dealing directly with anyone but me.
She even exchanges commands with fellow AIs like Chrollo, Rose, and Kiz through electronic and written communication.
“Yes. When it comes to incompetence, he is strict to the point of myelopathy. “I hate an incompetent man twice as much.”
“The people who passed on information to find me must have been rough men who used their power in the organization.”
That Yakuza-like tattooed man is also a similar fruit.
“Yes. That’s why they want to kick out those who are on the killing squad as soon as possible.”
“Thanks for your hard work.”
“I just do what I have to do. “Thanks to someone, I am in good hands.”
After that, we chatted quite amicably.
It was mainly Sophia talking and me listening.
In Prime’s shadow, I knew a lot of interesting information and stories due to the added characteristics of being a woman with large hands.
Sophia’s charisma as the head of the organization is clearly lower than that of Sasha.
“That dogeja didn’t just come out, he learned from a Japanese host? Somehow I got the posture right.”
“Well, that is… I thought that if I served Artemis and the manager, I would definitely have a chance to use it someday.”
“Even if it’s just me, if Artemis is your opponent, it might be a really necessary skill.”
“Right? Ehehe.”
However, Sophia was a bit more capable of making a man relax and laugh.
