Chapter 47 – 46. International Students
They said it’s been two days since I woke up. He said he only slept for two days.
When I woke up, I didn’t have much energy, so I guess it was because I couldn’t eat anything.
Cecile teased, asking if it was him. How can a person be resurrected on the third day? I said it to be funny, but it wasn’t funny so I didn’t laugh, so I got a little angry.
Yufi came the next day too. Every time she came, she brought Suzaku with her, and it seemed like the two of them had promised to go together. He also recommended me
“Mr. Woojin. Will you lend me your strength?”
“Yes?”
I was stunned, but she heard from Naomi that Yufi had revealed to her that she was a princess. I knew. However, it was hard to pretend to be surprised to appeal that I did not know.
Anyway, I shook my head at Yuffie’s request.
“Why?”
Please don’t try to cry… You’re getting weak As befits a very important character, Yuffie was fucking, joonna pretty. Naomi is also pretty, but she’s that… Isn’t her spectrum of feeling pretty anyway? It was.
I really want to help too. Only then could I fight a lot, become stronger, and live a leisurely life. But now I had an obligation to take care of Naomi. So said.
“You can buy my help.”
“Yes?”
“I’m a mercenary.”
“… What’s wrong with being a mercenary?”
If he said he was a contractor, it seemed like he would go to the death penalty.
“I get commissioned and work. Like Naomi. Ah, Naomi doesn’t play in the field, but makes my own equipment, accepts her requests, and um… Anyway, except for the body, I leave everything to you.”
But I’m going crazy because it’s awkward to use honorifics just because I’m a princess.
At my explanation, Yuffie clapped her hands as if she understood.
“Ah! Are you a contractor?”
“Cool! Cool! Uh… That… I’d say it’s similar but not. I’d say it’s similar, even though it’s not…”
When I made excuses while talking nonsense, Yuffie laughed. Naomi kept stabbing her in the side. I guess I’m ashamed
… Am I shy I’m shy!?
“Then? Can I ask Woojin and hire him?”
“Exactly. You are correct.”
“Ah! Is that okay? All right!”
She was so bright in the anime, but she looks like a sunshine fairy in real life. Looking at me, who has been beating a bully every day, it feels like I’m living in a different world. What… A person who seems to live only on this dew…
After her words, Yuffie and Dodo went out of her hospital room. She feels like she’s about to explode… Lloyd and Cecil were in the hospital room, so I couldn’t stop them.
It was only then that Lloyd and Cecil sighed when Yuffie, who was the highest ranking person, left the hospital room. She seemed to be well aware of the fact that she could be in big trouble if she said something wrong in front of the imperial family.
Lloyd caught his breath and smiled at me.
“That was an incredible recovery. I was startled.”
“… How can you not speak that way?”
“I need to get the fragments out of my body, but when I arrived at the hospital, I heard that the fragments are filling up a little? What kind of monster is this?”
“No, I know, but talk a little…”
“You. Who is it?”
Lloyd’s words kept my mouth shut. Because I had nothing to say. Even if I had lived since I transferred last year, of course I had no memories of that time. Starting to get hot again. If you’re going to send it, I’ll send it nicely. I didn’t have this kind of inconvenience because I sent it like a dick.
“Who are you?”
“Kam Woo-jin, 17 years old, father of the Chinese Federation. Eleven Mother. He’s of mixed race, so there’s little to no record of his past. He said that it has been more than 7 years since Japan collapsed, but if it is a record before then, it is normal that it should remain, but there is nothing. Why?”
I don’t know either… Stop bothering me…
“How do I know that? I just survived.”
I had no choice but to talk like this. Lloyd didn’t know if he believed it or not, but she continued to speak with a nuance of interrogation.
“The strength of his muscles and bones is also different from that of ordinary people… Okay. If I had to compare it, it would have been better to compare it to a gorilla. You’re even better can you believe it Chimpanzees are also stronger than humans, but now I know for the first time that there are people who can have a comparative advantage with gorillas haha!”
“To be stronger than a gorilla…”
I’m serious, but Naomi looks tired of everything else. At the same time, the expression that seems to understand is strangely swollen. Do I get sick at night?
“You. Can I come to the correspondent?”
“Eh?”
I wondered what this was. This is because I am treated as an Eleven here, not an honorary Britannian, nor a member of the Commonwealth of China.
Lloyd continued.
“My father belongs to the Commonwealth of China. He is not dead now, but it is said that naturalization is possible.”
Lloyd’s words were frankly tempting. But it took a lot of work for him to agree right away. First of all, the biggest is Naomi. Unlike me, Naomi is born to be Japanese. Unless you knew Naomi’s opinion, you should never have accepted it here.
“First of all, I’m most curious about why you want to attract me?”
“The most important thing is that your body is so coveted. If you’re 17, wouldn’t your growth period be over yet? The first thing is that I’m curious about how much ability I’ll show when I’m done growing up.”
Lloyd laughed. Cecile was watching me from the side. With a boss who sees people as subjects of research, he must have noticed.
“The second is that there are too many equipment that have not been commercialized. There are many things that ordinary people would not dare to experiment with. But what about you? Right Cecil? You have one too.”
“Count!”
Lloyd suddenly drew Cecil in, and Cecil screamed. It was a calm older sister’s atmosphere every time, but even for Cecil, Lloyd’s annoyance must have been difficult to bear.
Lloyd became a turtle neck when Cecil screamed. Is it the same as the person in charge? After ignoring people and talking alone, it seems to become quiet when Cecil comes forward.
Ha. Cecile sighed and spoke to me.
“Earl Lloyd’s words are correct, but actually, the most important thing is that I want to work with Inoue-san. Inoue-san said he would follow Woo-jin-san’s opinion.”
Eh? Are you done talking with Naomi already? When I turned to look at Naomi, she was staring at me with a blank expression.
“What do you want to do?”
“I do whatever Woo-jin wants to do.”
“Okay?”
“Huh. But I want you to accept it.”
So isn’t that what I want to do?
“Why?”
“If Woo-jin accepts, you can go to school.”
“… Eh?”
Naomi looked at me with sad eyes. I think you’re misunderstanding something.
“Woojin is 17, right? You’re the same age as Karen. I want Woo-jin to know the joy of going to school.”
“Hey Naomi? Perhaps there is some misunderstanding.”
“I was also a student when Japan collapsed. Now that I’m older, it’s hard to go around anymore… Isn’t that Woojin?”
“Uh… That’s right.”
My mind couldn’t tell that I was 34 years old. Oh, was there a number?
“We live in the Shinjuk ghetto, right? It must be difficult to go.”
“I can handle that.”
“No, please.”
Cecil intervened and interfered with the excuse of my conversion. Please, I wish I could only wear it.
“Is there? They made it possible for me to stay in the Correspondents’ Lab! In addition, as Woojin spends time there, the pay will come. A deal that will allow me to be properly educated.”
Naomi spoke her last words very carefully. It seemed uneasy that I might be misunderstood by it. Educating Naomi? Like mechanical engineering?
“I think I need to think for a while, so Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Cecil should go out.”
“Eh?”
“Yes?”
“I’ll call you back after discussing it, so stay out.”
When I said it strongly, the two got up and headed outside.
I was putting on a serious face. Seeing my expression, Naomi put on a worried expression. No Naomi. It’s not what you think.
Lloyd and Cecil closed the door and left. I immediately relaxed my expression. Naomi, who was making an anxious expression, opened her eyes wide as my expression changed 180 degrees.
“Woojin?”
“Yes why?”
“Isn’t that serious?”
“Eh? Why me?”
“No it is…”
You said with a nuance that I want to go. While doing so, Naomi said straight up. I chuckled. For me, who wasn’t really of mixed blood anyway, it didn’t matter where I belonged. No, rather, it was my plan to make a connection with a Britannian while making a request and get the status of an honorary Britannian without any payment.
Because that’s how Naomi is safe.
But, instead of being an honorary Britannian, they treat the Chinese Commonwealth as naturalized Britannians? You’re going to give me a place to live and teach Naomi?
Then it’s honey.
She said she also gives money. I will still accept the request, but from my point of view, who has to feed Naomi, there was nothing better than this. Besides, isn’t the correspondent department the fastest way to make equipment that will be put to practical use in the future?
There were no such good conditions.
The only problem is that you have to go to school.
Fuck. Do I have to go to school at this age?
I’m sure there will be good days when I go to school. Like Mirei Ashford or Mirei Ashford or Mirei Ashford or something like that.
Oh, and Karen was there too.
… Shall we go?
“I was skyrocketing the thought of going to her if only Naomi was okay?”
“Eh? Why?”
“Because living in the concession is safer for Naomi.”
“Then why did you look so serious?”
“That way, I’ll show my attention and make you do a little less work.”
“…”
Naomi slapped me on the side. She wasn’t sick at all.
