Chapter 44 – 4. At the Mouth of Despair (4)
The significance of the uniform lies in its magic that covers even the humanity of the wearer. Brulin Steilheil Street was a decent place for the upper class, but it was not a good place to act recklessly, as there was a building called a demonic place where the sun did not shine, and a building called the hell of the present world.
After all, here, where the great President lives, in the city of glory, Brullin, is there any place where it would be good to do things recklessly?
“Tereza, do you think we should turn the car around?”
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
It’s early in the morning, so it’s a quiet road. Ensign Tereza turned his head to the side as he was about to park with the Waffen SS National Security Headquarters in front of him. It was because the boss, who had been playing with the communicator in the car until just a moment ago, spoke meaningful words in a different atmosphere than usual.
“His Excellency Adler, come straight to the official residence.”
Short pink hair the same color as cherry blossoms. Milky skin and eyes the same color as her hair. The sorceress, Elfriede, who has reached the level of the 6th class and is called brilliance, took off the communication device that was in her ear.
“Major, anyway, such jokes are not funny…….”
“Is it true?”
Tereza, who was holding onto the steering wheel, sighed sullenly. She certainly had an endearing charm to her younger boss, Elfriede, but her manner of doing everything was so mischievous that I sometimes got tired of it.
“Are you saying you want to go for a drive somewhere without going to work again?”
“Eh, is it real?”
“If you keep doing that, it will be embarrassing. The major may be okay, but I am reflected in the performance evaluation.”
If he had entered the social world, he would have become a celebrity, and if he had entered the entertainment world, he would have been popular. That’s how beautiful this radiant appearance was. As a woman of mysticism, she had a knack for bewitching others, and she was saddened because she was never conceited compared to her talents.
“Then you heard it yourself!”
“I know you’re trying to surprise me by raising your voice. I did that last time.”
“Oh, how can I believe you?”
“You are working really hard. Then tell me where you are from.”
Looks and personality aren’t the only secrets to being popular. Of course, most of them are eaten and entered, but one more special element is needed to attract people.
Some call it charisma.
“Gwanghui will respond to the summons as soon as he receives the telegraph. Bernhard Führer Beatrix Adler.”
“…… Is it real?”
The 2nd Director of the National Security Headquarters of the Waffen SS, the brilliant Elfriede had charisma. Her charisma is what makes her interested in others. Even here in Steil Heil right now, if she only wears casual clothes, she will be invited to eat several times a day.
“If you’re not really trustworthy, can you just drop me off somewhere?”
“I will turn the car. But what the hell is going on?”
“Well, you’ll know when you go.”
Thereza turned the car around. Fortunately, it is not too far from Steilheil Street to where the official residence is. If it’s early morning like now and there’s no traffic jam, you’ll be there in 10 minutes.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Master’s face.”
“Everything is fine, but please do something with that frivolous tone in front of Your Excellency. The Major has a strong heart, so he might be okay, but I’m not…….”
Elfride pursed her lips. I retaliated by snapping her fingers, as if she was offended by her childish attitude towards me. It caused pollution with sporadic light like firecrackers, dazzling Tereza’s eyes.
“My heart!”
“Oh crazy, eyes! Eye!”
Tereza was frightened just by letting go of the steering wheel at the sudden surprise. The car rocked dangerously.
“Major! I am driving!”
“Drink a dog, Lieutenant Hageuk-sang.”
Either way, Elfriede continued to play pranks on her. If she liked the reaction of her subordinate and her lover, she flirted, and it wasn’t until she really started to get angry that she stopped doing it.
“Stop it, really!”
“It’s tough.”
Pod! The twinkling lights all at once faded. Only then, Tereza, who had barely managed to keep her eyes open, got behind the wheel and regained control of the vehicle.
“Ugh, you thought you were going to die!”
“I like Tereza because her reactions are varied.”
“I don’t hate you if you can’t speak.”
Elfriede giggled. She was naive, unbefitting of her position. It would be fair to say that she was a girl of her age, had it not been for the SS uniform she was wearing, the rank of major and various medals attached to it.
“Major.”
“Okay, when will we arrive?”
“It’s not too far, so everyone is coming. Are you thinking of retiring?”
Tereza asked insinuatingly, pretending not to mean it. She also wore the same uniform as Elfride, but she did not like the impression it gave her. Because that would be too cruel.
The life of their own bodyguard extermination police.
“Why, such a life is good. Like going somewhere in the countryside and running a ranch and living in the order of five.”
“I heard that running a ranch is very difficult? And it’s harder than you think.”
“Because someone has to be a ranch. I just want to share an idyllic life with you. To be honest, it’s better to run a lodging business by the sea than to pick people up behind thick iron doors.”
Not to mention himself, who was only at the lower end, but what about Elfriede, the middle manager? She was a major and second lieutenant, but the woman sitting next to me was older than her superior. She was and she was a lover.
“You want to go to the sea?”
“…… That’s it. Don’t speak Just forget what you just said.”
“Tell me you want to go. There’s nothing you can’t go to.”
Tereza drove the car in silence. Although Elfriede was younger than me, he was one of the worthy directors of the SS. She was right to regard this as a euphemism, in fact, since such a woman could not fail to notice the meaning of her words.
“I stopped by the official residence, but if it’s not special, would you like to go somewhere nice?”
“I used up my vacation this month.”
“I’m the director, so what does it matter? Let’s go and eat rice cakes. This time with a few men too!”
He shouted refreshingly, but in essence, it was a low-quality word. Tereza grabbed her throbbing head. Muttering that if it wasn’t for her superiors, she would have hit her in the head, she passed through the guard posts around the official residence with lightning speed.
The official car, given only to the director-general level of the SS, was very good as it allowed the guards to pass without any special checks. Even though it was basically possible only with the words of the upper line.
“I’ve arrived, so please get off.”
“You promised?”
“It’s a real sexual discipline violation…….”
Theresa waved her hand in disgust. She was tidy, so when she finished parking her car, she got out of her car, followed by Elfriede, and she headed for the front door.
“Are you there?”
“The door is open.”
“Can I just go in like that?”
“It will be when His Excellency personally summons it.”
The official residence was as quiet as a dead mouse. Elfriede entered the room without hesitation. She left Tereza to follow along and hummed her way across her aisle. She had a face that didn’t even look like a speck of snow, but maybe she wasn’t like that, the way she left the nearby central staircase and went round was impressive.
“Why are you dying?”
“His Excellency Youngbu is on the second floor. I’m very shy with that man.”
“Can you feel it?”
“Yeah, can you feel it better than your touch?”
“Major, please! Keep your body tight!”
Tereza blushed and waved her hand. Strictly speaking, it was an incorrect expression in this case, as it was a term referring to an aspect appropriate to one’s rank and status. The reason she was so ashamed right away was because the quality of her place outweighed her status.
“Oh.”
The two of them hesitated as they climbed the stairs while talking nonsense. It was because of the man standing at the end of the hallway on the third floor. A man in an SS uniform with radiant blond hair, monocle glasses, and four eerie eyes.
“Chief of Extinction.”
“Leader! Did the captain come too?”
Elfride spoke to her kindly, and Tereza saluted as she stood still. The man was Heinrich. Guard Captain Heinrich Heinrich.
The man who had been called to the official residence earlier warned me by bringing his index finger to my mouth. Be silent. It was a gentle warning, but the meaning was clear and easy to understand.
“Your Excellency is not at ease, so be careful.”
“Wow, I wonder what the hell is going on?”
“…… Just be mindful of that kind of behavior.”
Heinrich added with a tired face. Elfriede put on an embarrassing expression, and Tereza just glanced at her. Until the superior, who gave up control of his distracted subordinate, inevitably brought the two men before the Führer.
“Then you are waiting inside, so let’s go in. Please take care not to offend him.”
“Well, I also have the minimum amount of attention.”
It was an unreliable word. However, there was no other pointy number. Heinrich entered the room with Elfride and Tereza. From there he faced his master, who was sitting with his long, sleek legs crossed.
Great shotgun. And a man’s queen.
“Heil Adler, brilliant brilliance for the future of Bernhard, an ideal country! Elfriede Eichmann, Director of the SS Extermination Bureau, greets His Excellency.”
“Heil Adler, great leadership for the future of the only nation Bernhard! Thereza Canaris, Assistant Director of the SS, greets Your Excellency.”
Beatrix Adler. She spilled the two as she drank three lagers from her clear glass of amber gros. It was a cold look that went beyond coldness, and it was not at all overbearing that her hair was floating as if it were blowing in the wind.
“Sheen.”
Chuck and Elfriede stood still. The smiling face was still the same, but it was quite different from the usual appearance.
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
“I’m going to do some cleaning.”
Beatrix took a sip from her glass. It’s hard to guess his intentions with just those words, but Elfriede was an extermination cop. To her, who only carried out her annihilation through her slaughter, her cleaning had no choice but to get rid of people.
“Where are you?”
“This is not a place, Director of Annihilation.”
Elfriede tilted her head. Interrupting the conversation, Heinrich pulled out his gun from his bosom.
“It is a group.”
Bang! The bullet was fired.
“Cheuk!”
It was Tereza who was hit. She was Elfride’s lover and her assistant to the director. Tereza fell, having been pierced through the chest near her heart. She gasped as it was, holding her breath and shaking her body.
“Why why…….”
What I wanted to ask was the same with Elfriede. She, who erased her smile at the situation where her lover and her subordinate was shot, asked with a straight face.
“What did Tereza do wrong, Captain?”
There was no sign of embarrassment. It wasn’t because she was being tipped off or making predictions. It was only because Elfriede Eichmann was a woman who restrained such feelings.
“She is the Shadow Lady’s frakchi.”
“Shadow Madame?”
“Traitor.”
“…… !”
Heinrich held out his gun. Elfriede quietly accepted it. Tereza fell to her floor, her complexion very pale from her gunshot wound.
“Should I kill you?”
Beatrix put down her glass. There are many ways to bind people, but to choose the best way, it was also to make them choose themselves. At least it was an illusion that it was.
“Did I ever teach you compassion?”
“…… No.”
The Second Bureau of the National Security Headquarters of the Waffen SS. Chief of the SS Extermination Police. Bernhard Special Convocation.
“I don’t know about that.”
Elfriede Eichmann is a demon. She was one of Beatrix’s own disciples.
“Cow, Major…….”
Tereza begged for her mercy with longing eyes. It wasn’t even funny. Elfride does not know her mercy. She doesn’t even know pity. All she knows is submission and extermination.
“Sorry, Tereza.”
Gunshots rang out. Another sin has been established here. However, there was no fear that the gunfire or the sin would leak out. The Führer’s bedroom here had become a completely distant space because of the magic she had arranged.
“A.”
Tereza was shot between the eyes and died instantly. Elfride looked down at her dead body without even closing her eyes.
“What a waste.”
The reaction was that. Even that was a lover, and it was abundantly revealed. Because part of her brain was cut off, everything was cut off except for the emotions necessary for her annihilation and her pleasure.
“Elfriede.”
“Yes?”
“I will entrust you with escorting him.”
“Ah, are you talking about Your Excellency, First Lady?”
Beatrix nodded slightly.
“I plan to send them out of Brullin for the time being, so call in bodyguards by tomorrow.”
“Where are you sending them?”
“Luneburg, Draken House.”
From Brullin, take the Autobahn a few hours south with good air. Luneburg, a small provincial town that could be reached in this way, was where the only villa of the Führer was located.
Draken House, built on the top of a mountain 2,000 meters above sea level, is a so-called dragon’s nest.
“Cleaning and escorting, is there anything I need to pay special attention to?”
“Beware of Julich Renner.”
“You mean the magic bullet shooter. I get it roughly.”
The ball thing ended with that. If it is original, yes. However, Elfriede, who suddenly had doubts about Tereza’s death, opened her mouth. And she asked To the Führer sitting on a chair in the middle of a quiet room.
“His Excellency Adler, can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Why do you care so much for Your Excellency, First Lady?”
Beatrix Adler was the teacher of Elfride Eichmann. Since a disciple follows her original master, it was natural for her to wonder about her master’s love, who would surpass her own, even when Tereza’s death did not inspire her.
“He’s handsome, but that’s all. Leaving Her Excellency Adler behind and running away with a princess from the kingdom who even has a baby. What on earth did you like about him so much?”
“Because he doesn’t know how to give up.”
Everyone has immature times. Yes, Beatrix could be assumed to be a monster that transcends even those laws, but Elfriede, who is worse than that, is the same. There were times when she was also immature. That was until here the great Führer removed the brain, the frontal lobe, and some of it.
“Like you said, you may seem weak and insignificant. But that’s just because I’m chasing a frustrating degree. It was like that in my hometown too, but he’s a single player. He never gives up on what he believes is right.”
“Hmm.”
“What will happen if a guy who has no power and still doesn’t give up his will realizes that the values of goodness and justice are useless?”
Just as a slender girl became the vanguard of evil spirits, a man who only made promises can become a strong man with skills that are difficult to match.
“If you go around the difficult road with that good hair, you look really ugly. It really can’t be a pity. On the one hand, it is frustrating.”
“Then what about cleaning?”
There was no need to say anything about it.
“After being horribly broken, he must realize something himself.”
“Clean without leaving a speck of dust, is this it?”
Elfriede grinned.
“Please leave it to me.”
