Chapter 656 – Confession

After the Sunni invaded the Pantheran’s central palace.
The prisoners who were transported to Panteran failed to return. And the aftermath did not stop there, but also affected Karaz.
First, all the key figures of each prisoner organization were taken away by the Zephyria Army.
In the case of Rebellion, I heard that they were all captured because there were only 4 people.
There has been a strong feeling of being overlooked for a while, but this is the first time the military has shown such an active response.
The atmosphere of Karaz was frozen.
It seemed that Commander Basmore was very angry about Sunni’s incident.
I thought it was unlucky, and I might get caught, but fortunately my turn hasn’t come yet.
I wonder if keeping a distance from the prisoners due to my recent activities in the slums had some impact.
Should I say it was my foresight?
〈What is the foresight… I was ostracized and played alone in the slums.〉
“…”
When I returned to earth, I decided to gather together the Great Devil Brains and find a way to punish the obnoxious Cosmos who was trying to undermine its owner.
Anyway…
I haven’t been caught by the military yet, but I’m not at a point where I can feel safe.
No matter how much the Zephyria army roasts the Karaz prisoners, there is no possibility of obtaining information about Sunni.
Because they really don’t know.
‘It would be nice to give up there…’
What if they don’t give up and expand the scope of the investigation?
First, since I am also a Karaz inmate, it is difficult to say that I am in the right to stability.
Even if I’ve distanced myself from the prisoners recently, I still have one foot in Rebellion and the Helena Liberation Front.
In order to prepare for that unstable future, I decided to make an important announcement to the women I live with, although it is a bit early.
At my call, the women I live with start to sit down at the table, one by one. When I saw Rania sit down at the table for the last time, I opened my mouth.
“There is an important story.”
“… An important story?”
“What… Is happening?”
“…”
Three women look at me with different looks at my unusually serious appearance.
Neru rolled his big eyes and looked at me, Rania was confused, and Emily’s face was expressionless as usual.
Rania tilted her head, and as if she knew something, she clapped her hands and said, “Clap!” She struck, and she said.
“No way… Bark. Are you planning on bringing another woman home again? Wouldn’t this house be a little too small for 5 people to live in? The bed is a bit tricky… If that’s the case, why don’t we move to a bigger house? “
After hearing Rania’s words, Nehru looked a little sullen, and Emily still had an expressionless expression.
“Kuhm. It’s not like that.”
“That’s not it?”
When Rania’s guess is wrong, she tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand.
“Everyone must listen seriously. It is a much more important story that cannot be compared to anything like that.”
“… A much more important story?”
Three pairs of mysterious young eyes are looking at me.
“Yes, I…”
Just before I could get her words out, Rania’s face turned pale, and she screamed.
“S-you really plan on kicking us out of the house and filling us in with new women?! We’ve had enough, and we’re sick of it?! I can’t tolerate that!!”
“Is it true, Mr. Bark? Well, that’s… Too…”
Nehru looks like he’s about to cry and doesn’t know what to do.
Emily’s eyes were also shaking.
“I said no…”
When I glare at Rania, who keeps interrupting her important announcements and making strange instigations, I feel prickly.
“Oh, wasn’t it? I’m sorry. Then, what is it?”
It was Rania who was avoiding my eyes and acting the other way.
“Hmm… Then, I’m going to make a really important announcement.”
The three women then sit down and look at me with their bright eyes.
After looking at them once, I opened my mouth heavily.
“I plan to escape from Karaz in the near future.”
The three women blink at my important announcement.
“… Yes?”
“What is that…?”
“…?”
Neru and Rania had bewildered and puzzled faces, and Emily tilted her head, but still had an expressionless expression.
“… Suddenly?”
Rania asks with her face that she doesn’t understand.
“Suddenly… No. I’ve been thinking about escaping from Karaz for a long time. Originally, I thought it would take a little longer, but the time came sooner than I thought.”
I can’t tell you everything, but it’s something they should know about me escaping from Karaz.
“Of course I’m right! You’re saying you’re going to abandon us and escape from Karaz!”
Rania placed her hands on her waist and snorted.
“Why does the story keep going like that?”
“Isn’t that so?!”
“If I had planned on abandoning you, I would have secretly escaped alone without having to tell you this story.”
“That means…”
“If you say you will escape Karaz with me, I will take you with me. But you know what it means to escape Karaz.”
To be honest, escaping Karaz only has meaning for me, it doesn’t have much merit for them.
In particular, it was a risky act for Laniana Emily, who lived well as a resident of Karaz.
Nehru, who has now adapted and grown into a great miner and lives a high-ranking life among prisoners, is also doing more harm than good.
“What if we say we’re not going?”
“Of course, I’m not forcing you to escape from Karaz. If you want to stay here, that’s fine too. I’ll give you this house and all the money I have.”
You will be able to live comfortably for a while.
They could give you enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life, but that would be difficult since you can’t disclose the source of the funds.
Rania’s face hardens at my story.
“… And inform Karaz Command that I am trying to escape from Karaz.”
“That means…”
“Yes, I’m saying you should snitch on me.”
The reason I tell them to snitch on me is simple.
For me, whether they reported my escape or not, there was no major setback in my plan.
I don’t care if I get arrested by the military because of their reporting.
Now that Helena has been discovered, the purpose of coming to this planet’s basement is only one step left.
I don’t need to hide my power anymore, and unless Hellion pops out, Zephyria’s army can’t stop me from escaping.
But they are different from me.
As I escape from Karaz, I will inevitably show my threatening abilities to the Zephyria army, and what those who lose me will do next is obvious.
It is a survey of people around me who are related to me.
And it was natural that the women who lived with me were included in the investigation.
But what if they tell me about my escape plan before that?
If that happens, much of the suffering that the girls who will remain in Karaz will disappear after I disappear.
“Are you serious about that?”
“Of course.”
There is a moment of quiet silence.
They formed a deep relationship with me.
The favorability towards me will be considerable.
Nevertheless, I asked their opinions
That’s because what I was trying to do seemed absurd to them, and I couldn’t guarantee that they would follow me based on their likeability alone.
The first to speak was Emily, who was the quietest.
“I will follow you, Bark.”
“Yes? Well, I…”
Nehru still appears to be at a loss for her. Of course, Nehru’s reaction is normal, and Emily’s reaction is strange.
In the meantime, Rania suddenly wakes up.
“Then, I will inform command that Bark is trying to escape Karaz.”
“Rania?”
Nehru looks at Rania with her eyes wide open.
“Bark. Are you serious? I won’t catch you?”
“If that’s your choice, I respect it.”
“Really? Okay.”
After saying that, Rania walked out in stride.
“Bah, Bark? Rania…”
Nehru is more restless than me.
“Neru. If you want to follow Rania, you can.”
“Oh, no… I…”
Nehru was pricked by Emily’s cold words and ultimately kept her position.
However, not long after Rania left the house, she returned home again. And she said with a refreshing smile, as if she had taken a pleasant walk.
“You really don’t catch it?”
“Because I didn’t lie.”
“I know that Bark’s words are sincere. But that doesn’t really mean you won’t catch them? You could catch them at least once. I feel a little bad because I feel like I’m not that kind of woman.”
Is it telling me to catch it or not to catch it?
I don’t know how a woman feels.
“I will also follow Bark.”
“Are you going to be okay?”
“Yes, I think Karaz without Bark would be boring. I’m curious about what it’s like outside Karaz. Furthermore, I thought I was living a pretty dynamic life, but escaping from Karaz…”
Rania lets out a small sigh.
I can’t help but think that this is a reckless challenge for her, who only knows my abilities as well as she does.
“Well… If it doesn’t work out, can’t I just betray you in the middle? It’s okay, right? Bark?”
Nehru notices Rania boldly putting her betrayal out of her mouth.
“Neru, please understand this sister. Wouldn’t she be able to save you who have become slaves only if at least one person escapes?”
It may seem like sophistry, but it also seems somewhat correct?
Of course, that won’t happen.
No matter what unexpected actions she takes, there is no failure.
I might feel bad if Rania found out, but she wasn’t someone who could influence my actions.
So there is no reason to worry about things like betrayal.
I was more concerned about Zephia than that.
‘I don’t know if Suni and Chaos are doing well.’
