The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Exams (7)

The encouraging speech was also completed musically. Communicates more than its own meaning in regular and poetic vocabulary. Excellent conversationalism itself was a leadership. Winter thinks because language is a tool of empathy. But what does it empathize with? It has a history of right and wrong. Hitler and Mussolini were also a crowd of enthusiasts.

The president's appeal was beautiful.

Those who responded to the appeal changed from the atmosphere. It gets deeper and harder. Most people would fade soon, but life was meaningful every moment.

What Joanna said while cleaning the dishes.

“I'm sorry to hear that the presidency is almost upon us. ”

Winter nods.

“No one could have done this. I wish this wasn't my second term. ”

This assessment comes from the comparison of the 26th apocalypse and this worldview. The stability of the country was unparalleled. Although there is a lot of noise due to the acceptance of refugees and immigrants, there will be no other mistakes, and we are in a critical rush towards a decisive liberation operation….

‘The world view of money economics has rarely been maintained. ’

Intelligence correction printed information on the current world view. The United States is returning to almost a complete domestic economy. Given the domestic finances that had been rebuilt close beyond the boundaries of governance, trade suspension, payment suspension and payment guarantees, it was a human miracle of effort, sacrifice and luck.

Joanna sighs.

“Even so, the chances of success were low. There are a lot of people who hate the President... no, there are people who hate him. the idiots who shout aloud only for the damage they've done in the hard world. It's because the president has done too well so far. ”

It meant that it wouldn't have been if it had been a real crisis.

The opinion of winter was slightly different.

“I don't know. Some of them might hate it. ”

“Even if this is the best you can do? ”

“It's best come out of necessity, and pain paralyzes reason. ”

“Hmm."

Joanna narrows her eyes.

At this time, winter recalled the day Private Stan Page was buried. The girls who came to visit the boy officers vomited the cowardice of the adults.

“It's a different story. There were people in Port Roberts who refused to go beyond the blockade. On the contrary, they often want to come from the other side of the blockade to the pollution encampment. ”

“Did someone say that in front of the winter? ”

“Don't be mad. They hated their parents. ”

“I can't believe you hate your parents. Ah!”

An enlightened investigator looks depressed. Winter made me smile.

“Citizens who have lost their homes will suffer, but it will be nothing compared to the real refugees. And I'm to blame those citizens for their innocence? ”

“You have the right. ”

“I don't want to do this. ”

“ ……. ”

“I don't know if this metaphor is appropriate, but even if I were a late stage cancer patient, I wouldn't tell a broken leg to shut up. Pain, of course, is greater for me. But either way, it's usually unbearable pain. It's hard to expect common sense and reason from a sick person. Some patients are too sick to be mad at their doctors. ”

Joanna opens her mouth carefully, listening quietly.

“I think it's a bit of a metaphor, but I understand what winter is trying to say. My judgment is a little rash. It's easy to criticize what's out there. It was in Mexico.”

“Mexico?”

“Yes. Drugs are often a livelihood. No, actually, most of the time. Except for the ruling class at the top of the cartel pyramid, carriers, activists and corrupt cops were just doing what they had to do to survive. It's a society with no other options. ”

Winter listened to the continuing context.

“However, if you don't know the inner lining, it is a despicable outer surface. You kill people, you steal things, and you value your family as much as you do yours. Right now, these are criminals pointing guns at me and my colleagues, and right now, they're drug dealers for American citizens, and right now, they're just criminals whose country ordered us to get rid of them. ”

She confessed calmly. There were more kills than there were rounds.

“The only difference between them and me was nationality. I was just lucky. It's how lucky people kill the unlucky ones. The more I understood, the more I tried not to understand because there was no answer. I was going to be an obedient machine. Patriotism and a sense of mission were very addictive. To get rid of guilt, I had to abuse it, and the more I abused it, the more I felt dull as a human being. Maybe that's why it's so easy to hate people and drink... ”

As she pressed down on her forehead, she spit out a word. Alert. Right. Alert.

“I think I have a habit of drawing a line that I'm comfortable with and not understanding the people outside. I think I did it again. ”

“That's too much. It's too much blame. ”

And it was a familiar frustration. Winter also spoke to a masked psychologist. The more I understand it, the more I hate the lack of answers.

I hate my father and mother for what happened to me. But was it because they wanted to? Were they destined to be like that? If they had gotten a better parent, a better education, and a better opportunity, they would have also become much better people.

Therefore, the hatred of winter must be aimed at all the conditions under which such parents were created. Instead, only the parents complained about it, meaning it was a real compromise.

Joanna smiles bitterly.

“That's what you said at the presidential address. Every day, we want to expand our limits. ”

“So?”

“Thank you for pointing that out. I will continue to overcome myself. I think others can overcome themselves. You'd better hope so. So don't let people down in the winter. ”

Disappointment? A winter when I wonder what that means. Johanna favors you.

“Maybe I was mistaken... …. But let me tell you, a moment ago, you had a deep understanding of people. But on the one hand, I also felt cynical. I didn't know why at first, but I heard the story. ”

As a profiler experienced investigator, she looked at winter.

“That's how old people are. I look forward to nothing more. It felt that way, but winter, including me, people could be better. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm sorry if I overstepped. ”

“No, no, no. Maybe I am. ”

It was a tune. Strange approaching familiarity. In other words, he saw himself through the eyes of others. I hated showing my presence. Even though it rarely rolls, the stone in my heart was still heavy. I feel heavier now than when I lost my body.

Winter looks at Joanna with fresh eyes. Yes, it's new. I feel like a new person. It's been a long time since I realized it's human and not human.

The investigator cautiously inquires.

“Did you feel offended? ”

“No way. I think about it all the time. I want to cross my limits. ”

I want to melt unsolvable stones, hate the world that I can't hate, and fight things that I can't fight. In reality, we are pursuing this impossible wish with a grave, post-mortem dream. Taking care of people with abilities that are not given to people.

‘I've never succeeded. ’

Beyond the face of the end, the end and the end, I became quite superhuman in my dreams, but I was still overwhelmed by the cause beyond recognition and the massive flow of worldview. Even in this world view. People left in Fort Roberts. The story of winter after winter. Good dream days are desirable.

If there's one thing that gets better, it's that you get to know what you want, little by little. The more you know, the better off it is to be obscure but not know.

‘You have to know to give up. ’

If you don't know, it's a pity. The anger about things that resemble people is nothing more than volatile entertainment. Nowadays, at least not yet. April Pacific was still dirty.

After a few moments of defenselessness, Joanna watches the winter break through the smoke. I can't. You didn't show me any bad feelings. Winter in a mask taps the watch.

“Time is running out. Shall we go?”

“Yes.”

On her way back to the shooting range, Joanna unravels an unnatural silence with a new talk.

“In the coming elections, winter will also have the right to vote. ”

“Really? This is California. Wouldn't it be realistically difficult? ”

U.S. Soldiers deployed to military operations do not usually exercise their voting rights. There are no polling stations in the area. Thanks to this, around 250,000 people are bystanders of the election each year in the midst of deployment to Iraq.

Even though California was a nominal mainland, it was now just a polluted area where only authorized personnel could enter. In a slightly different case, Washington, D.C., which is a federal position, decided that the right to vote as a special reinstatement might be limited.

But Joanna's answer was different.

“Like the radio, it's an iconic action. Three contaminated states…… they say they're voting in Washington, Oregon and California somehow. Online voting may only be possible in polluted areas. There are even claims that you have to be voted for by isolated citizens. The vote won't be interrupted unless the mission is extended. ”

More than that, symbolic measures are rare. But on the other hand, it is also worrying.

“Online voting? I think there's a high chance of dishonesty……. ”

“Still, the voice of concern is high. It's the most important election since the start of the country. No irregularities will be tolerated. There should be more discussion on how to implement it. ”

“I hope you get a good one. ”

“I agree. The outcome of the election will change the fate of mankind. ”

Survival or extinction. Who will be elected? Right now, I didn't even know the candidate.

“Ann, can you get me a portable radio? ”

“Why?”

“You have to know something to vote. I want to hear a debate or something. ”

“By the way, it's Super Tuesday. Okay, let's find out. ”

Super Tuesday is the day of the Republicans and Democrats' presidential election in early March. Since it is mid-February, there is an intense public opinion survey in the forefront of the bilateral convention. I'm curious about the progress. And who the candidates are, and whether this worldview will come to an end in madness. Predicting was not too much to know.

“I'm sorry for asking you so personally. ”

“No. It's the overseer's job to take care of the comforts of the operational staff. I'll make a formal suggestion for the rest of us. And……. ”

Johanna shakes her head, rolling her horse in her mouth.

“No, it's not. I'll tell you when it's done. ”

“ ……? ”

Winter was curious, but I didn't ask.

There were several firing ranges in the training area occupying the entire floor. Winter continued to be tested until the afternoon sun disappeared on the other side of Golden Gate. Completed obstacles and mobilized courses, including maneuvering shooting, changing magazines during shooting, and replacing weapons during shooting.

In all trials, winter swept the existing peak record to a large extent.

The most difficult was a shooting test done in the dark room.

When I first entered, it appeared to be an ordinary shooting range. There were many mobile targets caught on the rails. But when winter was ready, Skyler and others turned the night vision upside down, and soon the room turned black.

And the sound of motors moving the target. Skyler, the instructor, said.

“If the target stops after a short while, the light will come on for 0.5 second. Target three. Remember your location. After the light disappears, shoot as directed. ”

Tongue. A red light flashes with a ringing sound. Half a second is literally a moment. Winter carved into the retina the targets revealed in between. The spacing was not constant, and they were different in height and day.

The correction that helped was Battle Sense. Personalization Skill is only involved in the ability to handle firearms, accuracy, and the probability of being fatal.

“Stand by.”

I feel nervous in Skyler's voice. Popularity is imminent. Someone puts a winter blindfold on it. to prevent target from being identified by projectile flashes.

After sufficient time has elapsed, instructions are dropped.

“Gunner, on one target, fire! ”

Bang! Winter shoots with all the senses in its body. Even without visual correction like a preliminary warning, there was a sensation of nerve pulling when aimed in the right direction.

“Three targets, one target, three targets, two targets in a row, fire! ”

This is as easy as it gets. You fire your first shot at the same time and three more shots at the same interval. There is a suppressed groan between the rolling of bullets. Good shot. Winter lowers the gun and waits again.

The following conditions were more difficult:

“Three steps left, one step back. ”

The correction drifts. Winter realizes it's a dull nerve stimulus. I'm sure every bullet you've ever fired will be in the target's critical area, but it's gonna be hard from now on. "On target two, fire!” Out of range, about a second to aim. Bang! It's a different reaction than before.

I wonder how far they've come from the previous munitions.

After that, I moved a few more times. 5 steps to the right, 3 steps to the left, 1 step forward, 1 step back……. And shooting, shooting, shooting.

Spatial perceptions of a genius realm, but limits have been swiftly drawn. Before reaching the tenth movement instruction, all the corrections in winter were crushed to an uncorrected level.

“You may take off your blindfold. ”

It's Captain Fowler's voice, not Skyler's. Winter, when the blindfold was off, frowned upon the light, checking the target first. Anyway, I wanted to measure my abilities properly.

“You're only human this time. ”

The captain's assessment reflected the distribution of the scars as is. Skyler numbers every scar based on his record. After being instructed to move, a grenade emerges from the third shot. The fifth shot missed, and the ninth shot missed a single shot.

I'm gonna have to carve it into my body.

It was winter that I thought the combat strength had already been enhanced enough. For the time being, the current experience will be limited. I don't know if I have the opportunity to use it in practice.

Lieutenant Skyler is confused.

“I felt just like this the morning I saw the news of a dead body running around.”, “I confessed the day my girlfriend was pregnant. It was horrible."

“The adaptation period was set for a week. But.”

The captain speaking to the winter did not make eye contact.

“I'll give you more than one share just for showing you today. I look forward to it.”

“Thank you."

Winter was given to the captain.
