Chapter 35 – Captain
Since the last battle is over, the mission of the hunting unit is over, but there is still a week left before the unit is completely disbanded.
It is also for so-called post-war processing and also for various useless event performances.
If he insisted on leaving, the unit would not stop him, but the emperor even said he would give a special reward, so there wouldn’t be many of them.
First of all, none of the leaders were left out.
The unit commander comes out of the headquarters and stands in front of the team leaders who are lined up to listen to the report.
An attitude that does not hide its annoyance openly.
She took the debrief as usual and finished her roll call.
He didn’t show any suspicious behavior, nor did he show any suspicion towards me or Kang Ji-ah.
As the unit commander yawns and enters the headquarters barracks, the group leaders disperse and disappear like insects scattering.
I’m going to have breakfast or do my own thing.
Her staff will also leave to eat, leaving her alone in the headquarters barracks for the time being.
The unit commander never shows his face in the restaurant for breakfast.
It was common for him to remain in the headquarters barracks and smoke.
As she sneaked out of the crowd of dispersing leaders and moved near the headquarters tent, Kang Ji-ah, who had been there first, approached me.
She asked me with her perplexed expression.
“Master, haven’t you changed your mind yet?
No matter how I think about it, I think it would be better to subdue it with a surprise attack…”
“Before that, I have something to ask you.
It’s not too late to go out rough even after you’ve cleared up your questions.”
Despite my answer, Kang Ji-ah still looked uneasy.
“I heard that the unit commander’s unique magic is powerful in many ways.
In particular, it has a reputation for being a magic specialized in duels…
What if I get hurt?”
“Don’t worry too much.
I’ve brought something to help in case of a fight.
If you fight one-on-one, it’s useless.”
“Still, it hasn’t been long since I was seriously injured, so you shouldn’t overdo it…”
“It’s okay. I’m going in.”
She rejects Kang Ji-ah’s dissuade and opens the headquarters door.
As expected, there was no one in the barracks except for the unit commander.
She was sitting at her desk, lighting her cigarette.
I took Kang Ji-ah and hurriedly walked all the way to the back of the barracks, which was as spacious as a tennis court.
“Can I smoke indoors?
I’ll smell everything in the barracks.”
Having approached her somewhat, I said.
The unit commander glanced at me and smiled.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.
Because this is a brand that doesn’t smell.
By the way, princess, did you come in without reporting to headquarters?
And now it’s breakfast time.
I need to get some rest too.
If it’s not urgent, will you be considerate of me?”
After saying that, the unit commander exhaled smoke from his mouth.
In fact, she must have been busy right now.
It’s a combatant, that’s it when the battle is over, but not for the commander.
There are countless things to do, such as managing human and material resources or organizing the contents to be reported to the top.
Rather, it might be busier than when the battle was in full swing.
Seeing that the brown hair of the unit commander, who usually keeps his appearance neatly trimmed, is slightly parted at the end, it seems that he is very busy.
But that didn’t mean we would back down.
Before I could say anything, Jiah Kang took a step forward and said.
“You know why I’m here, right?
I came because I wanted to hear about the ancient weapon case.
It is an agenda in which the lives of our 5th and 27th members were at stake, and I don’t think there is anything more urgent than this.”
“Chief Kang Ji-ah. Did I ask you?
Please stop interfering and wait.”
“I beg your pardon?!”
When the unit commander spoke coldly, Kang Ji-ah exclaimed in a fit of fuss.
She didn’t care at all whether she did it or not, the commander continued.
“Look at you screaming… Why are you so mad?
Is it because I broke my radio?
Or because he intentionally placed you in a dangerous place and manipulated the scan results?”
The deputy commander’s tone was very plain.
Kang Ji-ah opened her eyes wide as if she hadn’t expected her to confess so easily.
The unit commander took a sip of his cigarette and spit out her smoke at Jia Kang.
“I came back alive.
If you had died there, no one would have known that the radio was broken.
As if it was an accident, I was trying to kill myself…
Our princess is unnecessarily far away, so it’s a mask.
It’s the first time I’ve ever been in trouble because my subordinates are so competent.”
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a roar that sounded like an explosion.
Kang Ji-ah kicked her floor and sprang toward her sub-commander.
Also quick to judge.
She realized why the unit commander readily admitted what she had done.
She was thinking of killing Kang Ji-ah.
Because she says the dead don’t talk.
The entire barracks was shot out with shaking vibrations, and Kang Ji-ah swung her right arm wide and struck her unit commander.
It must have been an attack he had been preparing for from the moment he met the unit commander.
An attack that is so fast and precise that it is difficult for anyone to see and react.
However, her attack failed to hit the unit commander.
When the right hand was swung through the body of the unit commander, there was a sound of hitting the air and the body of the unit commander scattered like fog.
“No…?!”
“Have a quick temper once in a while.
I was still thinking about what to do with you, but I never thought you would creep into the secret room.
An hour for a meal is more than enough to kill you.”
He is a unit commander who has disappeared like the cigarette smoke he used to smoke.
Suddenly, her voice rang out from all directions.
I can’t tell by ear where the sound is coming from.
It was like an echo echoing in all directions in a cave.
The moment after her conversion attack missed, Kang Ji-ah began to locate her sub-commander.
Like her hounds, her sense of smell and hearing are excellent to track her down.
You can’t find the unit commander that way.
I decided to buy her some time.
“No, Commander…?!
What is this all about? What’s going on?”
I cried like an ignorant victim.
The unit commander mentioned the broken radio earlier.
I hadn’t expected that I would have stolen a spare radio.
The moment she discovered Kang Jia, her original target, she was ready to fight, but she had no doubts about me.
To her, I’m just a needlessly meticulous and quick-witted subordinate.
“…Yes, Princess.
It must have been embarrassing for you.
Well, I don’t want to kill you either.”
“Are you killing me?
What do you mean you intentionally broke the radio?”
“I thought I was quick-witted, but I wasn’t.
In a word, I am the boss’s boss.
Ji-ah Kang I was ordered to deal with that bitch quietly.
The condition was not to be found out by anyone, so originally, you, who became a witness, should also be eliminated…
Do you know how much I care for you
I’ll save you, princess.
If you help me.”
The commander’s voice mixed with laughter.
You’re making fun of me
I’m teasing you to see how I will react.
I knew he was a clever person, but I didn’t know that his personality was rotten to this extent.
I glanced at Kang Jia, and she was lost in her direction.
The smell of cigarettes, body odor, and voice of the unit commander are coming from all over her, so it must be difficult to locate her with her senses.
“So, did you plan to kill the leader Jiah Kang from the beginning?
What the hell did you do…”
“If you know that, you should kill yourself and cover your mouth too, right?
Don’t you know what I mean by quietly processing?
Don’t ask stupid questions and answer quickly.”
“…All right.
But before that, can I just say one thing?”
“Are you procrastinating so much to piss me off?
…What good Like I said before, I love you. Tell me.”
The commander who speaks condescendingly.
Let’s just act like this.
This has given me enough time.
I tried my best to give Doggie a chance, but the compatibility is really bad.
If left as it is, it will be an unfavorable fight for Kang Ji-ah.
I’m just going to go as I originally planned.
“I can see that it’s an obvious lie.
Will you keep me alive?
Would you walk such a dangerous tightrope with the condition that no one would notice you?
It’s funny that you care about me in the first place.
I called you friendly with words, but you only think of the people around you as tools.
Am I wrong? Captain?”
My demeanor suddenly changed, and the unit commander kept his mouth shut.
The barracks became quiet.
Although it was very brief.
“…Haha.”
Laughter echoed from all sides and circled around.
The unit commander threw off his pretense and laughed heartily.
“Ahahaha!”
She laughed so loudly that her barracks trembled.
It’s like having the speaker turned up to max, connected to a loudspeaker, and then placed right next to your ear.
It must have been a great pain for Kang Jia, who had good ears, so she could see her covering her ears with both of her hands.
The unit commander, who had been laughing for a long time, suddenly stopped laughing.
“As expected, our princess has a good sense of humor.
That’s right, it’s all lies.
I had no intention of keeping you alive.
Resent Kang Ji-ah for getting you involved.”
“Thanks to you doing that shit, me and my crew almost died.
The same goes for Kang Ji-ah’s members.
What were you planning to do if innocent people got involved?”
“Ha…”
With the sound of the unit commander sighing, bloody blades such as a large scythe and a knife appeared in the air around Jia Kang and me.
It was the commander’s magic.
“Was it fantasy magic!
Master, be careful!
Even the smell of metal and the sound of cutting the air are all the same… I don’t know what the real thing is!”
“It’s okay, so calm down and block everything with magic.
You can’t try to avoid it.”
He quietly whispers to Kang Ji-ah.
The moment she nodded, she heard the voice of her unit commander.
“I just wish nobody died.
Why should I care about such pointless things?
How stupid can you be that you don’t even know that you’re a cannon fodder?
You can replace them as many times as you want, dead or not.
Speaking of bastards like dung flies in the bathroom…”
Wow, that’s really harsh.
I clicked my tongue inwardly.
In any case, she had heard everything she wanted to hear.
No doubt about her, she tried to kill us of her own will.
It’s not a matter of good and evil.
I don’t even know why.
The important thing is that I harmed my people.
This is not a problem that can be looked upon as pretty.
Watching Ji-Ah Kang swear at the unit commander everywhere, I took out the things I had in my pocket.
It was a trump item to deal with the unit commander.
At that moment, weapons floating in all directions came out and struck Kang Ji-ah.
And they disappear as soon as they touch our body.
All of the weapons floating in the air were just illusions.
There was no such thing as the real thing in the first place.
Looking at Kang Jia, like a good dog, she completely believed my words and was defending her body with magical powers without moving.
The weapons created by the commander’s magic were scattered in front of the greater magic that protects our bodies.
Aside from believing my words, Kang Ji-ah was startled as if she was slightly scared.
“Was everything welcome?!”
“It’s not just an illusion, it’s an image with physical power.
If you get cut, you’ll be cut off, and if you get hit, it hurts, so don’t ever unguard it.”
“Yes, Master!”
Magic that deceives the senses and freely creates and manipulates images that can cause physical damage to living things.
That was the commander’s magic.
If you say magic that creates CG effects in reality, it’s quick to understand.
The fact that she seems to have disappeared is also the use of magic.
He put the same image as the background around his body and sprayed the same smell effect everywhere.
Magic that boasts tremendous versatility and practicality, instead of being restricted to use only where there is a dedicated magic tool resembling a projector in the doggie room.
Attack, concealment, and the ability to deceive the enemy’s senses are all things that it is not capable of.
Assuming a game of death and killing without rules, it would be within one finger of our unit.
It is said that the Sariqshir family used to be a well-known family in the film industry.
It should be said that it is a unique magic befitting the name of the family.
As we destroyed the first attack without moving a single step, the unit commander exclaimed confidently.
“You’ve seen through my magic, I’ll commend you.
But how long can it last?
How long can you last while exuding mana through your whole body?
Like running a marathon at full speed…”
“Hey, shit.
What do you say so much when you fight?
I’m not interested in you anymore, so shut up.”
“…What?”
I took out my pocket and threw the treasured item on the ground.
It fell to the floor with a pop and was deformed with a clicking sound.
Kang Ji-ah and the unit commander were blankly watching.
After a while, it finished transforming and revealed itself.
Slightly domed roof.
Four crossed poles.
A dark green cloth stretched taut.
It was a one-touch tent that I usually use as a bedroom.
“…”
The unit commander doesn’t even say anything because it’s absurd.
Kang Ji-ah also looked at me with a soulless smile.
“Master… What is this…?”
I looked around in silence.
The unit commander was still nowhere to be seen.
It seems that only Kang Ji-ah and I are standing in the wide barracks.
“The unit commander’s magic can only be used where a dedicated projector is installed.
That means it’s safe inside my tent.”
“I see! Then it’s as good as winning…
No.
We can’t attack from inside the tent, can we?”
“Who’s attacking in here?”
At my words, Kang Ji-ah put on an expression as if she didn’t know why.
I looked straight into her eyes.
“Master, then…”
“Jia Kang is a puppy even upside down.”
At the same time as my words, Jiah Kang’s time stopped.
The expression on her face as she spoke to me, the shape of her mouth, as if her soul had been drained, froze.
She is hypnotized.
“What… What are you doing?!”
“Puppy, what room is my bedroom?”
Whether the unit commander was embarrassed or not, when he spoke in a soft voice, Kang Ji-ah replied.
Where did the tension of the battle go? It was a voice full of obscene pleasure.
“It’s a pleasant room…”
“Okay. We’ll have to reward the smart doggie.
I’ll make you feel good masturbating until I tell you to stop.
Until then, feel free to use whatever is in your room.
Jerking while in heat until I hear the snapping of my fingers.”
As soon as I finished my words, Kang Ji-ah entered the tent with her eyes filled with anticipation and joy.
I closed her tent door so that whatever she did inside her wouldn’t leak out.
There was only quiet silence in the barracks.
“You… What are you doing?
No, more than that, how did you know that my magic requires a projector?!
It’s a fact that no one knows!”
“You told me yourself.”
As I answered with a smirk, the unit commander let out a moan that suppressed his anger.
You think I’m kidding myself.
“About four and a half years ago?
He was exceptionally hysterical that day.
I just fell in love with your look…
I couldn’t get my hands on it after that because I wasn’t attracted to it.”
“What the hell are you talking about…”
“I told you then
From now on, if possible, do not bully your subordinates and live kindly.
Didn’t you just leave a hint at that time?
I know that people don’t change easily…”
“Oh, I see. Are you trying to agitate me?!
Such shallow numbers don’t work.
Did you think you could beat me one-on-one?!”
“One-on-one? Do you think we’re in a one-on-one situation?”
I spread my arms and laughed.
A few minutes ago, the unit commander was confidently putting pressure on me, but now the situation is reversed.
It must have felt a strange chill to me who was acting incomprehensible to common sense.
Everyone is afraid of the unknown.
The sound of the unit commander gasping could be heard from here.
He said he wouldn’t fall for the trick of agitating.
I was embarrassed enough to be included in a textbook, but what?
I couldn’t see the unit commander, but she was clearly nearby.
If you move too far from the projector, the effect of the magic will be cut off.
She was sure just by looking at her conversation with her.
He is looking at me and listening to my story.
Kang Ji-ah went into the tent, so I and the commander are confronting each other inside the barracks.
From my point of view, I feel like I am alone, but she is different.
Not a one-on-one situation.
It is “Only two”.
I called her name out loud.
“”Sugar Song Sariksur”!”
A keyword that will steal her soul.
