Chapter 53 – #11 Heroes Are Not Defeated by Evil (2)
The base of the 7th Division, its administrative office.
It was already completely dark outside, and even though it was quite late, close to noon,
Rahe, the captain of the 7th Division, was left alone to continue his duties.
In the midst of being distracted by a certain villain organization that has recently emerged,
This is because, to make matters worse, even the subordinate club was dragged away by another villain organization.
In addition to many of the existing duties, we will be dedicating personnel to the search side of the club,
Naturally, Rahe’s workload also increased.
But honestly, it doesn’t matter as long as things go a little faster.
Even if things increase this much,
Compared to the time of the 【Great Disaster】 that happened several years ago, it was laughable.
Anything can be done
It doesn’t matter if you can’t return home from overtime for days and days, and you can sleep on this base.
I just hope that the precious subordinates who were kidnapped come back safely.
‘…… Club….’
At some point, while working, her hands she stopped.
Rahe, the captain of the 7th Division, is known as a cold person, to the point of being called the 『Ice Witch』 By allies and enemies alike for his quick judgment and calm determination on the field.
It’s just that the decision is quick to reach the correct answer,
And he is just an extreme efficiency-oriented personality who values efficiency more than anyone else.
It is not that he has no feelings for the lives or sacrifices of others.
His facial expression his hardly changes, and he does n’t talk much, so few people notice him.
She is the one who cares and worries about her subordinates more than anyone else.
Under a mask made of ice,
Rahe was the one who was richer and had more mature sensibilities than anyone else.
“…… Are you alive?”
Would he be alive, or would he not have suffered bad things,
It was at a time when she was so lost in thought.
Buuuuu…
The smartphone I had placed next to me vibrated.
The name that popped up on the screen was [Club].
From the same subordinate who was kidnapped by the villain and still deeply worried about the captain,
I just got in touch.
* * *
Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
――What the hell are you thinking?
The club leaves the smartphone hands-free,
He listened intently to the call to Rahe and glared at her staff member who sat across from her.
The chief of staff returned his confiscated cell phone and made several demands.
One of those requests is to contact Captain Rahe.
He came suddenly and made such a request, so he could n’t understand the reason and his head his was confused.
However, he forced his hand to be pulled, causing his fingerprint to be unlocked.
There was no way to avoid it because the call was made by the staff.
I can’t figure out what the other person’s intentions are,
It is impossible to refuse in such a situation.
‘…… Still, I’m worried about the situation in the unit.’
To be honest, it was a good story for the club.
Because I don’t want the unit to worry because of me.
The fact that I can report my existence like this, and that if I do well, I might be able to convey some information,
It could be considered a good thing, but….
‘I don’t think he’ll dare to do something to my advantage.’
If that’s the case, you’ll have to assume that there’s something wrong with it.
Villains are scumbags, rat-like crooks who roll their heads.
Therefore, it must be seen that there is some dark ultimate motive behind this action, like octopus ink.
… If not, you’re just stupid.
Thinking so seriously,
[Hello? Club? Is it a club?]
Shortly thereafter, the transmission sound cut off,
A beautiful and dignified voice sounded like jade marbles rolling.
Two days only… It was only three days at most,
For some reason, the captain’s voice, which seemed to have been heard for the first time in a long time, made the club inadvertently burst into tears.
“Excuse me, Captain Rahe. … It’s a club.”
The club first identified itself with a designated phonetic language.
Although there is a staff member in front,
It was judged that it would not be possible to detect the pattern of obscene language with this one time.
It would be difficult to think of Rahe as just a voice-altered call.
[Club, where are you now? Are you all right? It’s okay?]
“Yes… To. First of all, there are no injuries, and I am fine.”
To Captain Rahe with a worried voice, the club first apologized.
Whatever the process, it was because of the club’s own obstinacy.
If I had listened to my senior, Spade, this wouldn’t have happened,
Moreover, to become a hero and be held hostage by a villain,
This is also disgraceful and apologetic.
It may not be possible to apologize with just words, but once the words of apology have been spoken formally,
The club got straight to the point.
“… Captain Rahe, let me explain the situation here.”
The club looks at the staff,
He briefly explained the situation he was in to Rahe.
During that time, the staff did not say a word and just watched.
[… ] … There is a villain ahead?]
“Yes. I won’t hurt you, so tell me that over the phone…….”
What he continued to say was about the negotiations with No. 13.
『I want to solve the misunderstanding between the villain and the hero.』
“Don’t we need to get to know each other a little more?”
“I will release you safely in a month.”
…… The contents of the 13th issue are conveyed intact.
Throughout the story, Rahe remained silent.
Did you find something suspicious?
“I don’t know how much I can trust the words of these villains… For now, I’m fine with no injuries.
No. 13 did an interrogation just a moment ago, but there was no torture and no confidential information.”
‘I dared to ask about something a little embarrassing, but….’
That part was swallowed in the mouth.
It’s not something I have to report.
There were many things I wanted to say and hear, but it seemed difficult to say more than that.
Because I can’t talk a lot about this and that in front of the staff in front of my eyes.
First of all, the fact that he is safe, the contents of the negotiations raised by No. 13,
And since I told everyone that they would be released in a month, that’s enough.
In addition, he even said that this contact will continue to be made regularly.
About twice a week, they will be calling to report on survival and to give special information.
‘…… Everything, did you tell me? What to say.’
Clearly, it seems that we have delivered everything we need and what we want to convey.
… But, there was something that stuck in my mind.
‘I feel like something is missing….’
I felt a bit puzzled, but I couldn’t figure out what caused it.
I feel like I should say something more.
I feel like I forgot some really important information….
“During our conversation, excuse me for a moment.”
“He is the person who serves as the staff member of the villain organization [Abyss].”
And meanwhile,
The staff member, who had been silent all along, finally spoke directly.
“Unlike you, No. 13 and our villain organization [Abyss] Hate murder and aim for coexistence.”
“So, I’m just having a serious conversation with you, Miss Club of the 7th Division, and I’ll take responsibility for food, a place to sleep, clothes, life and safety, so please rest assured.”
“I will definitely return the limbs intact in a month.”
“… For us, we have no doubt that it will be an important step between hero and villain.”
Graceful voice,
With an uninterrupted and elegant speech, the staff made a clear and clear declaration.
There was no answer from Rahe beyond the smartphone.
Are you trying to determine the true meaning of the words?
Or is it necessary to think for a moment about a situation beyond imagination?
“I… I, Captain! Please rest assured!”
“I, the club, will definitely run away from here on my own! No matter what interrogation, no matter what torture, I will never give in!”
“Because heroes never lose!”
“So please don’t worry about me! I won’t worry you!”
“Certainly! Well, I know what to do…!!”
In the middle of the club desperately shouting with their will for the last time,
The staff arbitrarily ended the call.
Coolup glared at the staff as if he was angry, but
The staff member simply shrugged and shrugged.
“To say such a thing even in this situation is a great will. Shall I give you a round of applause?”
“Kuu…! It’s noisy…!”
“Then I will go. …If you’re bored alone, why don’t you play a game on your smartphone?”
The story ends there.
As if that was the end of the matter, the staff member said,
I left the club’s smartphone where the call was cut off and left alone.
‘Uh… ?’
The club left alone tried to call again, puzzled by the smartphone they had left behind, but
For some reason, he was now out of the call range, so he couldn’t be contacted.
…You can’t even play games like this.
* * *
“Club…….”
The call is disconnected unilaterally
Rahe muttered stunned while holding his cell phone in his hand.
It’s been more than 7 years since I’ve been a hero, and I’ve spent more than 3 years since I’ve kept my position as a captain…
At least, it was the first time such an absurd situation had occurred.
‘No… It can’t be seen as absurd.’
‘It may be the purpose as it is really said… Probably has other intentions, but….’
I tried to contact him again, but this time I heard that he was out of range and couldn’t make a call.
Giving up on contact, Rahe put down his phone and thought about it.
Think deeply,
Ponder again.
There are several reasons I can think of right now.
Or a number of other types of possibilities.
Maybe the caller wasn’t a club, maybe it was simply a modulated voice…
This part is unlikely.
He spoke the language clearly, and it would be difficult to imitate the details of his tone and personality his in such a short period of time.
‘For now, assuming that the opponent is definitely a club….’
‘In that case, the other person’s intention is….’
Think.
Think.
Think.
Think.
“…… If that’s true… It would be fortunate if he was really safe and unscathed….”
Rattle…
Having finished her thoughts, Rahe let out a faint sigh of relief and rose from her seat.
I don’t believe 100% of what I said earlier, but
The weight of worry is different from no news.
I’ll have to tell the other members of this situation, but it’s time for everyone to rest now.
The news will be delivered tomorrow morning.
“…….”
Rahe prepared for the various “Possibilities” He had just thought of,
In addition, she prepared new materials and the means to be taken next.
The actions of a villain whose true intentions are invisible,
As long as the intent is invisible,
This side should think of every conceivable possibility and prepare the means to prepare for it.
There was no way that an idiot who carelessly believed the words of a villain could be among the captains of the hero unit.
