Chapter 537 – #5-14.5 the Storm Approaches, Events Progress (2)
Recently, I could hardly rest because of the investigation and follow-up of ‘villain attack and indiscriminate incidents’.
Also, whether because of that or some other reason, the number of visits by No. 13 also decreased significantly.
I guess I should say I haven’t seen him for about two weeks.
He comes and goes so often that his purpose is unknown, and this is not the first time this has happened.
But if you don’t contact him like this, and you don’t see his face… As expected, I end up feeling anxious.
I guess this is also a result of the training he has given himself so far…
‘I’m experiencing it myself… It’s terrible.’
Should I say that he cannot live without No. 13?
I keep thinking about No. 13, and I can’t stand it.
Of course, it’s not as bad as withholding drugs, but it certainly seems to cause significant addiction symptoms.
The meeting of No. 13.
The existence of No. 13.
Now, I feel like I have become inseparable from Rahe and the 7th Division…
How many times have you masturbated in the last few days?
To fill in the anxiety and void created by No. 13’s absence, Rahe consoled herself by masturbating whenever she was alone.
He called No. 13’s name several times and touched his sensitive area… And even used a tool.
It’s something I didn’t do before, but I end up doing it all too often these days… Really, I wonder what happened.
However, her masturbation alone only slightly reduces her anxiety and is not enough to relieve her anguish.
As expected, I am once again realizing how important the existence of No. 13 is.
I thought that if I couldn’t relieve it through masturbation, what about another man? But I quickly gave up on that idea because I was convinced that I would never be satisfied with another man.
Moreover, due to my circumstances as an awakened person, there is no man nearby that I feel comfortable with…
‘In the first place, even when looking at other men, this is what I thought… Because I’ve never felt like this.’
‘Of course, only that man…’
Well, I’m really busy with many things.
He was truly a man who added to my troublesome worries.
No, the reason the current situation came to be like this in the first place and most of the various things that have happened recently are due to No. 13――
‘No, there’s no use blaming others…’
Rahe shook off the anguish that had risen in her head, saying it was a useless thought.
And if you think about it, just looking at the results, there were many things that were helped by the existence of No. 13.
As for Apple, if No. 13 didn’t exist, she might have left her as a spy.
In Olivia’s case, Olivia’s trick she had prepared by sniping Rahe was able to be overcome with the help of No. 13.
Previously, I was manipulated by Dorothy, a scientist from the [Abyss]… In the end, it was because No. 13 brainwashed Rahe, so there’s no need to be thankful…
“… ?”
With that feeling, I convince myself and organize my thoughts.
Rahe was suddenly able to check an email that had been sent to her.
The email sent through the Hero Association’s dedicated line was undoubtedly sent from a higher-level department.
“… This… Mer, you seem serious.”
Rahe’s face hardened after checking the sent email and the attached notice.
The notice sent
『Hearing Notice』
It was.
Looking at the contents, a hearing hosted by the association is scheduled to be held soon… Rahe was asked to attend the hearing as a defendant.
The situation was moving.
No matter what the ending is, something is clearly about to happen that will cause great turmoil not only to Rahe but also to the entire hero world…
* * *
“Hmm… I read the report well. And as I wanted, I also delivered the hearing matter, so it will proceed somehow.”
“Thank you, Commander.”
Inside the Hero Association, inside a special villa prepared for the commander-in-chief.
In a place corresponding to the sarangchae of a building in the form of a renovated Korean house, Mer is facing the commander-in-chief on the other side of the veil.
She hoped to be alone, but as always, a bespectacled woman who appears to be the commander’s attendant is next to her…
The matter regarding Rahe has already been reported to the commander-in-chief.
I could have gathered a little more information and submitted a report, but the deadline given by the Commander-in-Chief was running out, so I couldn’t be more cautious.
However, regarding the hearing.
I was planning to ask about that while meeting the commander in person this time.
However, she was surprised by the news about the hearing that suddenly arrived at her way here.
Should I say that he acts quickly, or should I say that he has a bad taste in trying to catch us off guard.
Anyway, it is a good thing that the speed is fast.
Thanks to this, the hearing, which was scheduled to take at least two weeks, was held in less than a week…
“What would it be like? What if you need my help? Should we attend together?”
What is heard from beyond the veil is a clear and slightly youthful voice.
However, feeling the unique intimidation in that voice, Mer lowered her head.
“It’s okay. In case–if Captain Rahe disobeys the ruling and uses force, I will personally subdue him at that time.”
Wow, an interesting voice came from beyond the veil.
“You probably know Captain Rahe’s skills, right? No matter how much I think about it, isn’t Captain Mer alone not enough?”
“… “I have an idea.”
The commander on the other side of the veil raised his voice as if he was even more interested in the strangely firm voice.
Although it was invisible because of the veil, it was easy to imagine that he was clearly smiling beyond it.
“It’s really amazing. Obviously, Captain Rahe is your motivator… “I know he’s a good friend.”
“…”
“Doing things like this is probably what your ‘constellation’ tells you to do. Was it definitely a desire for promotion? Or 『Lust for domination』? That’s roughly it, right? Isn’t that right, Captain Mer?”
All awakened people are, to put it worst, mentally ill.
Each awakened person feels a special impulse due to the constellation that chose them.
It is also a ‘desire to destroy’.
It could be a ‘desire to dominate.’
In addition, it could be things like ‘justice’ or ‘violence’, or ‘lust for knowledge’ or ‘perfectionism’.
Such desires basically do not consider ethical rights or wrongs.
That’s why some awakened people are bound by that impulse… There are also cases where one unintentionally becomes a criminal, also called a villain.
And basically, the impulse becomes stronger in proportion to the power of the awakened person.
As such, most heroes who are at the rank of captain often have this impulse to a pathological degree, causing them trouble in many ways.
Even for Rahe, that impulse led him to become a complete ‘justice fanatic.’
When it comes to orders from superiors, most orders are followed without refusal, and each and every task is required to be flawless.
It is certainly not a negative impulse when viewed externally.
Rather, it can be seen that Rahe has reached the current status due to that impulse.
Of course, not only her impulse but also her natural abilities, skills, and talents would have played a big part.
And for Mer, such Lahe was a hindrance.
For the sake of Mer’s impulse, for the sake of her Mer’s desire, Lahe was now obliged to drop her reputation.
She must be trampled now.
Even if they are friends.
Even if they were colleagues, there were no exceptions.
“… Is there no answer? “It’s not fun.”
As Mer closed her mouth, the person behind her veil muttered as if he had lost his temper.
With that, the story ended.
“Well, anyway, I understand. In that case, I will just know that and wait for the results.”
“Thank you. Then, I’ll leave too――”
“Ah, this is the last time I will ask.”
After catching Mer as she was about to leave for the last time, the commander beyond the veil asks a question.
“The report you sent,
Is that really the end?
”
“… “What do you mean?”
“No, I was wondering if there might be something more. “I just asked to confirm.”
“Not really, there’s nothing more to post. Even if there is, it is information that has not been verified and is not worth reporting.”
“… Okay. I get it. “Go and see.”
At the end of that conversation.
After Mer greeted the commander beyond the veil, she left the annex.
Soon, a hearing will be held to expose and impeach the 7th Division’s leader Rahe.
Likewise, information about No. 13 was also provided on the spot――
