The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# After the rain, the Black Mountain (2)

“I don't hate Cho for a reason. ”

Park Jin-seok confided in him when he asked to go on patrol with him.

“Of course I don't like it, but I think it's one of the few people you can trust for sure. At least a thousand times better than those cowards who only know themselves. I saw you practicing, but you're a good shot. He was a completely different person than in Paso Robles. That's how hard you tried, isn't it? ”

Winter nods quietly at his words. It was made with the idea that the fire should not be left behind when the fire was extinguished. Taking his time first is the best way to sober up doubts, whether he favours Yura or not.

“I'm just sorry. Lack of awareness of the crisis. In fact, it's the same for other people. Don't you think it's too widespread to say that you're nervous and nervous and have a little bit of a stable life? ”

I guess I didn't like the optimism of the alliance itself. Winter thought that he was trying to take his crew out to the training ground on Christmas Eve, to separate his people from that atmosphere.

I guess that's the question I was looking forward to answering. Winter found the right answer.

“I agree you need tension. But I don't think the current alliance mood is necessarily bad. Life can't always be tense, can it? ”

“Why not? This is a humanitarian crisis.If you want to live, of course you do! ”

Jinsuk paraphrased his fear.

“I'll be honest with you. I'm scared! We have nightmares every day! that open their eyes when they're being chased or eaten by things that aren't alive. And I'm afraid that dream will come true again! Do you really think this is an unreasonable concern? No, absolutely not! ”

His voice is quite emotional.

“The last raid was successful thanks to you, but how can you be so lucky every time?" If we want to increase our chances of surviving when the crisis comes, even the slightest recklessness or laziness is unacceptable. Everyone should push themselves to the limit! I feel like I'm dying because I'm so tired! Wouldn't it be so much better than actually dying? I do! I want to live like that! ”

Ultimately, the rigorous attitude of authenticity was a means to cope with fear in its own way. Winter shakes its head.

“I understand, but not everyone is as strong as you. Seriously, how many people can stand up to fear like that? Everyone has different limits, right? I think mental relaxation is a kind of lubricant. Just as machinery without lubricant easily wears off and breaks down quickly, won't the spare people bump into each other and shave and collapse? ”

“ ……. ”

“The best of the individual and the best of the community are very different. As far as I'm concerned. You can't impose that standard on the whole just because it's possible for one person. ”

Jinsuk twitched his eyebrows.

“What if someone who can do it doesn't do it? ”

“Yes?”

“Promotion for a reason. I was convinced, watching, that other people, for some reason, were able to promote it. I have the ability, but I don't. That's unconscious! ”

Winter felt new in the front and mysterious in the back.

“Conscience? Did you say something wrong? ”

“No, I was right. Even though the alliance has grown, you have nothing to do but rely on the commander. Where are all the people who were sorry when you brought in a minor and left them in charge? There's someone else who does the most dangerous things every time, and after that, you have the audacity to live your life? I don't accept that. ”

It meant well, but his attitude was quite aggressive. I can see a strong disgust on my face. Winter made me smile.

“Calm down for a second. He was so excited.”

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Since this time was nominally a patrol, it was enough while walking to catch my breath. After the Jinseok settled quite well, winter said.

“Well, I hope you think about it longer. Jo PARK... No, Jin-seok thinks he's okay, and he can continue to do it like now, but I think he's very mentally focused. If this is what you want to do, I have nothing to say about it. But if Jin-seok keeps doing that, I don't think I can trust anyone else. You don't like it.”

Jinsuk was noticeably shaken.

“That's a separate problem. ”

“Do you really think so? ”

Winter shakes her head.

“Isn't it hard to truly protect those who despise you? I understand Mr. Jin's position. That's why I can't let you do it anymore. for people, for Jin Jin. ”

“No, but my efforts... …. ”

“Stop. I'm not asking you to do anything right now. You've done well so far. Take your time, and you'll be able to take on more people. ”

Jinsuk clammed his mouth shut. I looked the other way pretending not to know about winter. I thought it was too obvious.

It will still work. I didn't mean it badly.

After sending him to his quarters, winter came to Yura this time. However, the attitude of the Eurozo soldiers changed during the process. I no longer leaned, nor sat.

As soon as Yura saw winter, she blushed.

“I'm sorry about earlier. I've shown you a bad picture. I shouldn't have done that. ”

“It's all right. More than that, I noticed that the cavalry is still standing, is that an order from Yura? ”

“Oh, yes! That's right!”

She nods earnestly. I can feel the heat on me for this.

“After my head was cold, I thought about it quietly, but I think Mr. Jin-seok was right about something. ”

“Is that so?"

“Yes. You have to show your sincerity to the loggers. We're here to protect them, aren't we? But it's what we have to do to make them feel safe, right? Jin-seok was right about this, but I was angry, wasn't I? Maybe he was angry because of his usual stacks of gold? And when I thought about it, I was ashamed. I'm an idiot. I should have thought of that. ”

He looked really embarrassed, and his words were incredibly fast. I guess I was working hard on what to say when I met him. It seemed to have contributed to the embarrassment that winter caught me arguing with the truth.

It was fun. I burst out a smile that winter didn't cover.

“That's fantastic. ”

“Great? You're teasing me, right? ”

“No, I mean it. Why would I make fun of you? ”

But Yura didn't hate him.

I didn't have to convince her. I'd believe it if I told him all about my conversation with Jinsuk, but that's a rash move. When Jinseok revealed his insides, he didn't think the conversation would leak anywhere.

The gunfire echoes.

One shot, but the entire workplace freezes. Winter sent a distress call to the refugee workers and other troops. It was almost as if there was no warning of Survival. In the meantime, there was a radio call informing us of the aftermath of the action.

[This is border 16. You killed a Ghoul!]

The shooting was unfortunately a magnificent star. The one who informed Winter of Yura's fight with Jin. And an impressive zero shot that impressed Pierce's boss as a designated inmate. When Eura and winter arrived side by side, Hanbyol was very excited.

“Commander! Look! A ghoul appeared, and I sent it in one shot! ”

It was quite a long way to point. Almost 200 meters away. The Ghoul wouldn't have stood still, but I'm amazed that he took a single shot. Moreover, it was even better because it meant that if he died single-handedly, he was hit on the head or equivalent.

“That's great. I think I'm getting better by the day. ”

“I'm not good. The telescope lens helped a lot. I really like this. ”

Since she was now a regular army, not a reinforcement, the equipment is paid on a regular basis, and a four-fold scope is one of them. She didn't give me a better shot, she was a basic accessory to the American infantry.

“No need to be so modest. Given that, I've gotten better. I think he ran away after he fell to his death, but he blew his head off with a projection, didn't he? One shot at that. I can't even afford a skilled marksman. ”

Hanbyol, who feels better, starts laughing with a strange sound.

Praise is a motivation for everyone. Hanbyol was so afraid to pull the trigger at first. He continued to be complimented every time he practiced shooting, and he became more fond of shooting than anyone else.

Now the US military instructors call her Miss Trigger Happy.

But that laugh is a little... Yura is making a wake-up face.

“Was there anything else? ”

“Yes, there was only one. Weird, right?"

Hanbyol's voice was trembling. The same goes for both hands with guns. Because of combat excitement. There is a side to fear, but overall it is a completely different concept.

“It's not weird. Maybe it's exploration.”

Yura was surprised at the words of winter.

“Search?”

“Yes. We're on the same route at the same time these days, coming to the same place, repeating ourselves. There's nothing wrong with mutants learning patterns. First of all, you'd be like a smart dog or a wolf, and you wouldn't be wandering around alone for no reason. ”

“Suddenly I'm scared... …. ”

“If we don't lose them like this, we'll be fine for a while. Looks like they're planning their own attack. Lots of special variants died on Christmas. ”

Winter's estimation was confirmed by Insights.

“Again, in that sense. Mr. Hanbyol, well done. ”

Heehee. Hanbyol gives you a big smile with his arms around him.

Nothing much has happened since then until the logging is complete.

The time to finish the job was 3: 30 pm. Winter meant the day was short, and the work schedule was set to be sure to return before sunset.

Today's sunset is 5: 13 p.m. After sunset, there is still light spotting, so time is sufficient.

A group of Chinese refugee workers approached winter as they were conducting a final material and personnel check before departure. The fighters who were with you seemed a little tense, but winter lifts her hand and gives her peace of mind. No group was crazy enough to harm the winter.

‘No, there is one. ’

The "Gospel Festival", which became an increasingly severe cult group, lacked rationality, was also difficult to predict behavior. They had every reason to hate winter.

At Christmas, there was a massive attack by mutants. But winter warned it in advance. This seemed to them as a prophecy.

Winter reminded me of the mouths that one of them had held the Bible in one hand and shouted with his other hand.

“You are a false prophet! A doomsday trumpeter that summons evil! ”

“Listen to the Bible! If a prophet dares to speak in my name whatever I have not commanded him to say, the prophet will be put to death! ”

“Listen to the Bible! This is what the Sovereign LORD says Woe to the foolish prophet who prophesies in his own spirit without seeing! You prophets are like foxes in the wilderness! They saw false and false divinations and hoped that their words might be fulfilled but they were not sent by the LORD. ”

“Listen to the Bible! I, the LORD, say! The prophet who has had a dream will speak dreams, and he who has received my words will speak my words with sincerity. How can we compare chaff to wheat? I, the LORD, say! My words are like fire! Isn't it like a bat hitting a rock and breaking it? I, the LORD, say! Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets who steal from one another my words! ”

Winter thought, "There must be a lot of good verses in the Bible, but I can only see what I want to see there."

The time I had to think about it was short, but it was enough for Chinese workers to come.

On the surface, he appeared to be here to express his gratitude for protecting him without any intention. The fighters are relaxed. But winter was still a wonder. It was because nothing like this had happened during the following summer.

“Shit! Well done again today! ”

“We're working with peace of mind thanks to our picks! ”

While receiving these words, someone asked me to shake his hand. I can feel it coming from my hands. It was the texture of the folded paper. Letter? Winter is ignored and put in your pocket in a discreet manner.

The escort of the returning vehicle procession was solid. In addition to the Humvees, a number of light duty vehicles (LSVs) were wary of a wide range of areas, moving from side to side.

Winter opened the letter in the Humvee.

Artwork Reviews

1. We still get requests for premium transitions nowadays, but every time we do that, the author has a lot to think about. Even though we have already clarified your position, re-submitting your request will be interpreted as inadequate and will require further explanation.

With that in mind, I would like to take an excerpt from some of the responses I gave to one reader yesterday and reposition them again.

As long as there is even one reader who wishes to remain a Novelis resident, the decision will not be overturned.

And then you might wonder if that minority of readers is costing you money. But it's not appropriate to say "damage." It would be more accurate to say that the expected 'profit margin' from the change to premium will disappear.

When seeking profit through any change, if even one person is harmed by the change, the change and profit cannot be justified.

I, too, have forsaken much of my expectations through Novelis' decision to remain. My regrets are greater than your readers' regrets. So please understand.

We will expedite the publication agreement so that the one day advance payment on other platforms will be made.
