Regressor Instruction Manual

Those who win do not pay (2)

The mute face of Yev Karina, who ate honey, shines into view.

She already knows, and I know.

Even Cardinal Basel over there knows the story.

I just stuck it in my head again.

No one who wins here or there pays a price.

The truth that is universal everywhere.

What a simple law.

‘Of course. No matter what.'

There is no clearer sentence than this one.

If we wrap it up in all sorts of words, that's how our lives are going to turn out.

Yev Karina in front of me also empathizes with my words.

I was just biting my lip tightly and staring at this side, but I couldn't agree with that reaction.

It is natural for him to open his mouth again with his tail raised.

because I had to keep talking.

“Am I wrong? ”

“ ……. ”

“I don't think I want to answer.... Well, I'll take that as a yes. I made it very clear a moment ago. We're the same kind of people anyway. If Yev Carina had won this battle, I would have been the one to pay for it. I think that would be a bit of a shame. Phew.”

“I'm not like you. You're... you're trash. ”

“Peer aversion?”

“I'm not scum like you! You filthy swindler. ”

“You keep calling me a fraud and I don't feel so good, but I can't deny that I've been chosen by God, Carina. The Divine Power doesn't lie. Haha. It's also true that Jingjin is the Devil Summoner. I don't know what the difference is between you and a lie I've told, which is why you're heating up. Neither are you. We used incitement and forgery to promote morale, and eventually we helped bring the ignorant to the battlefield. In a way, the heads of the Republics, including you, are worse. I may be an excuse to defend myself, but you don't even have the means to rationalize yourselves. You're the one who put up a fight first, you're the one who was preparing for war, you're the one who put up a declaration of war first. Who's the scumbag and who's the con man? ”

“Cut the crap! This scumbag. I'm not talking about the process. Yeah, we're talking about your means. You lack the minimum ethical compassion. Continental law and war regulations didn't just happen for nothing. Vee, Senior Priest Bishop... ”

“You're talking about Priest Bishop whose fancy glutton skills are ruined. Well, I'm sorry if I misunderstood, but I didn't do it by breaking the rules of war. I just got you a nice bottle of wine. ”

“I know that's not what I'm saying! ”

“You know what I'm talking about, Yev Karina. I've never broken a rule of war. Even if I manipulated Bishop's high priest from behind, you know that's not against the rules. You're the one rationalizing. Because I'm a scumbag, and I think you'll feel a little better sleeping inside. So you're selling me out, you. ”

“Tsk!”

“That ought to make you feel a little better. If you weren't a human being like me in the first place, you wouldn't be in this war. Stuck deep in the woods, studying ethics. In the end, you're the same person. ”

“For the soldiers of the Republic and for you! ”

“Ah…. ”

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

“Aha. I see. Hahaha.”

“What? Are you…. ”

“I was just wondering if it's true. That's not a lie. Right?"

“W-what the hell is this? ”

“Well, everything I just said was a joke. There's no need to get confused. I assure you, you are definitely a different person from me. I have to admit, you're not the only one moving around for your own comfort. ”

What the hell are you talking about?

Yev Carina is a completely different kind of human being from me or Lee Ji-hye.

While unique walls and tendencies do not always tell us the correct answer, Yevkarina certainly comes from a different kind of human being.

"You're a very responsible friend. ’

Literally.

I can see my face crumpled up in a sudden change in attitude.

Seeing that he was having a nervous reaction, he seemed to realize that he had just made a mistake.

The ulcer, for example, a moment ago, is a pre-work to excite her.

A conversation to capture her weakness, to be precise. It was material to get the means to deal with her.

“That's amazing. Awesome. I'm sure you are. I can see why the Demon Summoner's Office used you here. If things hadn't gone this way, it would have been a bother. He must have survived with minimal medical damage and a metallurgical advantage. Your goal is not to win the battlefield. I think I know that now. ”

“What, what? ”

“I don't know if you know, but the Devil Summoner didn't expect you to win in the first place. He wanted to hold on while he held on to the Elves. It's unclear, but you also seem to have a tendency to avoid combat. I think I literally just wanted to hold on to this wire and hold on to it until the end of the Cheslark Civil War. ”

“ ……. ”

“You completely blew it. Well, you didn't know I was in the Kingdom of Everia, so I understand roughly, but as a Demon Summoner, I felt pretty bad about it. Huh? Why do you look so surprised? You've probably noticed that the Devil didn't expect much from you. That's why the reinforcements didn't come. ”

In fact, there is a slightly more complex reason.

Perhaps Yevkarina knows that, too.

But...

“It's not like that. Current Frontline…. ”

“I know there's no room on the front. I know it's a long shot to get here. As much as you think of him, he doesn't think of you. Sad. Nothing hurts more than one-sided love. ”

“Just because you say that, I... ”

“Yes. Of course you won't betray me. Hahaha. You must be mistaken, Yev Karina. I'm not trying to do something stupid. Think of that as my bad joke. Well, I can't deny that you and this army have been abandoned. How far are the facts? We don't use cheap tricks to shake people's mental faculties. It's not appropriate for a lion to be chosen by light. Yes, of course. ”

“ ……. ”

“If there's a more reasonable way, why would I suffer? Speaking of which, actually, there was something that Bishop senior priest lying there had to do. I even reserved a spot for them. It's a very important job... Someone smashed up the precious Priest's Chimney, so it's a vacancy. I understand the sadness of being abandoned, but I need you to do your job. Isn't that right?"

“Kill him.”

“You're not even listening? ”

“I don't want to know what kind of garbage you're thinking. Just kill him.”

“Why do you keep telling me to kill? You have to listen to the rest of the story and decide. ”

“Kill! I'd rather die! ”

“There are a lot of prisoners. Yev Karina. Quite a few surrendered. The priests of the Barians who are with us are the same. ”

“You…. ”

“Oh, my God. It's difficult to kill.Having a lot of prisoners isn't necessarily a happy story on our end. It's an enemy force that can be beheaded at the same time, and it's also about delivering supplies that will hold many prisoners accountable. I wish I didn't have to. I don't think I'm the same priest. I don't know, but in Chinese history, it's called the Great War. in which 300,000 surrendered troops were buried alive. I'm sure our Demon Summoner knows better. ”

“Son of a bitch…. ”

“Of course I'm not scum enough to do that, but I don't know how things are going to turn out. Even if something goes wrong, there may be situations where you decide to cry. ”

“Son of a bitch! Are you a human?! ”

“I've been talking about possibilities. Yev Karina knows better than anyone that I wouldn't do such a crazy thing. We're going to lose a lot of politics. ”

“Son of a bitch! You piece of shit! ”

“Despite being chosen by God, it must be heartbreaking... to forsake those who seek to repent. If you really did that, you wouldn't rate me well in the history books. Most of all, my conscience won't hold. By the way, Mr. Yev Carina, I don't concede. ”

“ ……. ”

“I will never yield. Avoiding is their job, not mine. I've made a decision, and you must be the one to concede it. Look me in the eye. ”

I noticed that I was avoiding a small glance.

The disgusted expression slowly bites the fear.

“Do you think I can't? ”

“ ……. ”

“I made it clear. Yev Karina. Obviously, if you refuse my offer, I will renounce half the prisoners. You will be executed as a servant of the Devil, and then you will make the same offer again. Of course, if your successor refuses, you will abandon half the prisoners. ”

“You…. The person you are.... ”

“They were forcibly brought here. Yev Karina. We should smile and send him home. I was drawn to the battlefield somehow, but they are also the precious children of someone else's home. ”

She has no choice.

It was obvious that when I looked at his face, I could see his pupils shaking.

You must be thinking about different possibilities.

‘I don't think I need to explain things separately.... ’

You must have expected what your role would be.

“Do I have to make my choice a little easier.... We need to find out if any of the prisoners are Devil's minions. A third of them are likely to be contaminated by the Devil... These people need to be cleansed quickly. Yes, of course. ”

“Now, wait a minute. ”

“Have you decided?”

Failure to answer.

But it's already half done.

It's already sending signals to a number of different sources.

My eyes are shaking and my lips are shining. The cold sweat that flows from the neck and the roughening breath.

“I don't concede. ”

It's not enough to call it a crystal hit, but let's keep it down. Her slowly nodding head flashes into view.

“Excellent choice. ”

“Evil man. ”

“Huh. That's blasphemy. Yev Karina. ”

Half of his face looked like his soul had gone out.
