Reincarnation Monarch
Episode 555: Incorporation
"Right. You were born in the village of Elba near Rhoden. [M] So do you know where Tran was born?
Shester asked insignificantly.
Then Azio turned into a pungent face.
"... come on... I don't know where it was... I don't even know if we ever talked about it, but you forgot"
Chester couldn't tell if Asio's story was sobering or if he really didn't know.
"... well. So, how's the crowd? You said earlier that you saw the tran and thought about it, but how did you feel about it?
"Uh-huh. Especially not something like this happened, is it? I joined SS because it was synchronized, which means I felt as soon as I got along and talked to a lot of people..."
"Were you and Tran enlisted in sync?
"Yeah, I am. Didn't I tell you?
"Oh, you haven't heard. When did you enlist?
"It was six years ago. Just before the Battle of Esta, we were promoted to the Gorkos SS."
Shester couldn't hide his surprise in this either.
"Yes... was... That... you didn't have any luck..."
Shester told him to squeeze out with a startled look on his face.
Then Asio looked surprised when he noticed Shester's deep upset.
"What's wrong? I guess it's that surprising. Well, I'm pretty sure you're out of luck."
That's what Azio said, twisting his body and peeking into Shester's face again.
Shester returned his expression desperately, enlightened by his inner agitation.
"Oh, I'm surprised. Such bad luck is not what it is. It's not just you, it's Tran, isn't it? Of the thirty SS, I don't think there was anything inside, like two of them just before the Esta campaign."
Then Asio looked a little troubled.
"... no, it's not just me and Tran, is it?
Shester was surprised and unwittingly asked back.
"Are there others!?
Asio nodded loudly at Shester's inquiry.
"Yeah, it's Comet and Baltic."
Shester didn't say much of a surprise.
"... Really? Are you saying that all four of you were integrated into SS just before the Battle of Esta?
"Yeah, that's right. The four of us were integrated into SS at exactly the same time. So the first place the three of them and I met was in an understatement in the military headquarters in Odine, the Imperial capital, where we gathered to make our way with Gorkos."
Shester was greatly surprised inside by Azio's confession.
But let not Asio understand it, and Shester desperately tried to disguise herself as calm.
And Shester was to bite the surprise to death and run his thoughts deep.
