Chapter 516 – #5-8 Discussion, Hero Captains’ Secret Chat (Rahe, Mer) (1)
… … …
… …
…
No. 13 escaped from the [Abyss] As if he was halfway kicked out.
If nothing else, the ‘raider’ incident led to strengthening the security of the hideout.
This time, everyone in [Abyss], Including the newly recruited Olivia and her subordinates, were busy working.
And among them, Violet, the boss, witnessed No. 13, who was the only one lounging around because he had nothing to do, wandering around the hideout and touching his hard-working colleagues.
As a result, he was kicked out.
Something like, ‘If you don’t have anything to do, go out and do some work.’
I’ll say it again, there really wasn’t anything for No. 13 to do when it came to strengthening the hideout.
Strengthening the security equipment is Dorothy’s responsibility, and where and how to strengthen is the domain of the staff and Apple.
And Violet is said to understand the abilities of the new recruits (Olivia and the four others) and practice how to use them.
Number 13 does not have the technical skills like Dorothy, nor the genius smarts like the staff or Apple.
And for No. 13, who has to save his magic power as much as possible just in case, participating in Violet’s training is a burden.
Therefore, there is nothing for No. 13 to do either here or there. It can’t be helped.
Anyway, in that situation.
Although he lost his spirit and felt pathetic, no matter what, No. 13 went on with his usual mission – to attack the ‘3rd Division’.

―
Knock,
A knock was heard.
The 7th Division’s base, the captain’s office.
Captain Rahe, who was working at his seat as always, looked up when he heard the knock.
“Please come in,” She answered, and the door to her captain’s office opened, revealing her visitor.
“Hello, Rahe. How are you doing?”
“… Mer. “If you were going to come, you shouldn’t have contacted me.”
“Haha, it can’t be helped. “Today, I just felt like I wanted to see your face.”
A woman with soft brown short hair and a confident attitude and appearance.
The person who came was Mer, the captain of the 3rd division.
You came without an appointment or prior notice.
There were many things she wanted to say about her moody behavior, but Rahe pushed those thoughts away with a sigh and guided her toward the guest sofa.
There was a coffee machine inside the captain’s office, so Rahe quickly finished setting it up and started making coffee.
Inside the captain’s office, the aroma of fragrant and luxurious coffee was immediately filling the air.
“What happened all of a sudden? Was there something worth looking for?”
“No, I just have something to stop by nearby. Investigation car.”
“Near here?”
“Huh. Also, I had to ask for cooperation from the 7th Division as well. This is something I wanted to talk about in person rather than over the phone, so I came here like this. Ah, thank you for the coffee.”
Mer took the freshly brewed coffee and lightly held it in her mouth, enjoying the scent.
Should I call her Rahe? She is excellent at everything and the coffee she made was truly delicious.
In fact, Rahe herself doesn’t seem to like the coffee she brewed very much.
Of course, she didn’t show any signs of that, so other people wouldn’t recognize her at all, but Mer, who was her old friend in Rahe and had seen her by her side, could tell that fact at a glance.
“What is it, Rahe, you don’t like it?”
“… No, just a little. “I got into the habit of drinking coffee that was so delicious.”
The hero named Apple, who was enrolled in the 7th Division in the past, was very good at his job, but above all, his skills at making coffee were excellent.
She often made coffee for Rahe and her guests, showing off her skills beyond first-class, but Rahe, who had grown used to the taste of the coffee she drank at the time, seemed not to be satisfied with her own.
However, even as a person with sophisticated tastes, I can’t really tell the difference between the coffee made by Lahe now and the coffee made by Apple in the past.
She feels like she’s satisfied enough now, but Rahe, who is a perfectionist, doesn’t seem to be.
However, she is still practicing and will soon be able to catch up with Apple’s skills.
Rahe can do it.
When it comes to Rahe, nothing is impossible.
I thought it would definitely be like that.
‘I heard it’s really amazing.’
‘You’ve always been like that since you were classmates at the hero training camp.’
Rahe was always perfect.
Rahe has always been excellent.
Rahe was a true superman who knew nothing was impossible and could make anything possible.
Even at the training camp where there were many excellent talents, and when she came out of that training camp and started working as a full-fledged hero.
Rahe was a unique talent wherever he went.
Rahe is truly amazing.
And Mer.
As her classmate and friend, I do that.
Do ■■, do ■■, do ■■.
■■I have no choice but to do it. It has to be that way.
Even now, those feelings and her feelings have not changed.
… When I thought of that thought, I felt somewhat faint.
“You seem busy these days, Mer?”
“Huh? Does it look like that?”
“Because there were often cases where we couldn’t contact you. “You were on a mission, right?”
“… Right, whatever. “We just recently exterminated the parasites living near our jurisdiction.”
Mer tipped her coffee cup gracefully, but she put a rather harsh expression into her mouth.
Rahe’s expression barely changed, but he gave off a slightly displeased vibe.
“Mer. No matter how villainous he is, such expressions are…”
“Illustration. Rahe was uncomfortable with this, right? But that can’t be possible. I’m not saying that all villains are expressed this way. “Those guys are so much trash that it would be a shame to even call them trash.”
-I am not a philanthropist like Rahe.
Mer said slightly sarcastically.
I’m not particularly arguing.
From the beginning, he has a tendency to be a bit crooked in his speech and personality in some areas, but I know from my long experience with Rahe that as a leader, he is better, more honest, and fairer than anyone else.
Therefore, even as Rahe, she could no longer point out her way of speaking.
“… “I am not a philanthropist.”
All Rahe could do was to add a small, insignificant correction.
* * *
The conversation between the two captains continued for a while.
At first, it was just a question of what was going on or small, everyday small talk.
But, as expected, as Rahe had expected, Mer immediately brought up her main point, which seemed to be the reason for her visit.
“
Investigation rights regarding the villain organization 【Abyss】
“I want you to hand it over to us.”
Mer has been requesting that.
【Abyss】 is a villain organization that mainly operates in S City, which is under the jurisdiction of the 7th Division, and is an organization that the 7th Division also keeps a close eye on.
However, it was confirmed that Villain No. 13, the core force, was incapable of combat, and their position within the [Union] Was unclear. Rahe submitted a report to the above that concluded that there were no longer any risk factors to them.
Mer is bringing up and mentioning the matter again, which has no longer been investigated or investigated in earnest.
Even work outside the jurisdiction…
“… Why?”
There is nothing that cannot be done.
However, that doesn’t mean it’s something that can be given permission out of the blue.
“If I don’t know the reason, I can’t give an answer hastily.”
“Of course I have to say it. I’m going to say it. Let’s see, that’s why–“
When Rahe asked thoughtfully, Mer lightly shrugged her shoulders and continued.
Mer’s explanation that followed was understandable in its own way.
An operation to eliminate a villain organization that she carried out not long ago.
The villain organization was planning some big project―a villain terror attack on a serious scale.
And it was confirmed that 【Abyss】 was also included among the organizations involved in the terrorist plan.
Just in case, she wants to step forward and investigate.
“If that’s the case, we can seek cooperation from the 7th Division――”
“No, no. I hate it more than that.”
Mer firmly interrupted Rahe’s words.
“I told you. Hey, you are a philanthropist. “There is no such thing as killing someone unless a clear criminal act is confirmed.”
“Great. That mindset is great.”
“But
――That kind of thing is not my style.”
“If there are things that could become a cause of trouble,
I want to completely destroy and destroy it.
”
Mer said firmly.
In other words, she is worried that Rahe will show mercy even if he discovers the [Abyss].
In fact, Rahe even wrote a report regarding 【Abyss】, which concluded that it was harmless.
It is not possible to determine at this stage whether the information obtained by Mer is true or not, but Mer will first eliminate anything that could be the cause, regardless of the truth of the information… This is the opinion.
It’s radical, but it’s not an incomprehensible way of thinking.
Even listening to the story, in this case, if there is a mistake in judgment, it is not only S City that suffers… It seems that there will be several cities, including City D where Mer is located.
It is not entirely out of proportion for Mer to request independent investigative rights.
Also, after listening to Mer’s detailed story, I think it would be much more beneficial and wiser to leave it to her rather than to herself, who has not yet fully grasped the situation.
So clearly the correct answer in this situation is ‘Do as Mer asks’… It will be.
‘Why?’
‘Well, I have a feeling it won’t work…’
La He is perplexed by a feeling surging within her.
I feel like I shouldn’t delve into things about 【Abyss】.
I wonder why… Why can’t she answer Mer’s words willingly? .
“Rahe, so what do you think?”
“No… For a moment. It was so sudden. First, information… You have to share the documents more accurately. And formal procedures were taken at the headquarters as well――”
“Rahe.”
Mer interrupted Rahe, who was speaking uncharacteristically confidently.
She put her hand into the bosom of her uniform, making a gesture as if she was trying to get something out of her.
“It doesn’t matter in the first place. Hey, whatever you think. Whether you want to cooperate or not.”
“You didn’t say anything, right? Actually, this time I――”
Mer picked something up from her pocket in her arms and tried to bring it out in front of Rahe.
If you show ‘this’, Rahe won’t be able to say anything anymore.
Mer tried to show the thing that had that power by taking it out from within her arms.
Knock-
Right at that moment.
A knocking sound was heard inside the captain’s room where the two people were…
Without waiting for an answer, someone opened the door and came inside.
