The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Valley of Death (3)

On May 21, a new military uniform was supplied throughout Roger's joint task force made of synthetic spider silk and other composite materials. Primary production flown directly from Michigan's factory to port. In front of the squadrons wearing them, a team of military detainees from the blockade command stands. It was to demonstrate the defensive power of a new battle suit.

The commander of the dog team, with winter's permission, rested eagerly on his men.

“Welcome aboard, David Mission. I'm Sergeant Ian Mendoza. And this is my man and partner, Sergeant Luca. You can see German Shepherd. ”

When the sergeant gives the signal, the dog pulling out his tongue lifts his front foot and imitates the Giant Sawyer. A light smile spreads among the squad members who sat or stood around comfortably. In the meantime, one of the noble Dacshunts howls with his tail down. The other dog was unhappy.

Sergeant Mendoza's attitude was very respectful because the demonstration target included senior executives.

“As you may already know, I'm here to verify the defensive strength of your new uniform. What you're wearing right now is the result of our efforts to protect first-line combat troops from infection. Specifically, the most vulnerable areas have 2A grade defensive performance and a certain level of spectacular performance. Of course, the defenses in critical areas are higher. This means you can have minimal body protection without having to wear protective clothing separately. ”

Oh. Some soldiers examine their clothes again. I can see it moving around. It is true that it is thick and uncomfortable compared to previous battle clothes, but given its defensive strength, it is on a light and flexible axis. It's amazing how much it stretches with movement.

‘Fiber body armor is usually weak for stabbing. ’

Winter pressed down on his sleeve. In addition to the fibers, it feels like a thin, hard block.

“Take a look.”

The sergeant pulls out his sword and stabs or slashes himself.

“With the judgement that arms are vulnerable in close combat against variants, there is a significant amount of blade protection applied from the sleeve to the elbow. It can withstand the brute force of common variants. ”

Sergeant Diane Angelo, fire marshal, raises her hand on this subject.

“Ask a question, Sergeant. ”

“A common variant is dangerous against ghouls? ”

“Yes. Good luck in that case. ”

The audience shared some disappointment.

However, the atmosphere changed quickly.

“Bite!”

Sergeant Mendoza tapped his side and shouted, and the quiet dog turned into a beast. Grrrrrrr! Grrrrrrr! Jiggle under the ribs and shake. Lose weight, hang in there for a second, and eventually, Sergeant down! I said, "Sit down!" Shepherd sticks his butt out and waits for instructions, like when it was wild. The squadrons showed high concentration in the appearance of the roughly standing sergeant.

Bite it several times, running through parts! Repeats. Finally, the earthy sergeant shows the squad members the bite site at close range. Tooth marks, but not pierced.

The sergeant who finished the demonstration was applauded. Winter shook his hand.

“Well done, Sergeant. He didn't spare his body. It's been a long holiday. ”

“It's just my job. ”

You can see the pain on your slightly frowny face, even if you speak in a thick tone. It wasn't pierced, but it would have been chewed up a lot underneath my clothes. It's okay to be bitten big, but you can't always do that. If you add something to it, it seems like you'll lose appeal against the soldiers.

Today was Sunday, and at the end of the demonstration, there was nothing special for the platoon members. Officers who did not have rest and relationships were also on a loose schedule compared to weekdays. My intent was to ensure relaxation at the top. But winter was the exception. Captain Singh asks Winter to wait for the vehicle.

“Is this the call from headquarters? ”

“No. The High Priestess asked me to see you for a moment. ”

“What brings you...? ”

“The soldiers are mentally unstable. He said it would help if I was here. When you can. We won't stand a chance once the mission begins. ”

Winter is nothing special. It was relatively common for highly nominated veterans to volunteer for PTSD management. And then someone died. Chris Kyle. It was included in the attribute training and was mentioned once in a conversation with Captain Langford.

“I understand, but don't you also need to rest? ”

“I'm fine. ”

Captain Singh gives a stern expression in response.

“You always say it's okay if someone asks. ”

“Don't you look well? ”

“No, I'm just admiring you. I've never seen anyone more close to the name of God than you. ”

“More like the name of a god? What do you mean?”

“It's complicated to explain in detail, but it simply means that you are doing God's will. ”

Winter made an awkward smile.

“I appreciate the gesture, but I don't intend to have faith. ”

“I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. I wasn't trying to convey my faith to the commander. I just wanted to say that you are a great commander by the standards of my faith. ”

“Standards of Faith? I hope I'm not behaving in accordance with the doctrine of the Sikhs. ”

“Of course it is. The commander doesn't grow beards, he frees his hair, he doesn't have a true master or a warrior's sword, and he doesn't pray in the morning and evening. However, the heart is more important than the fulfillment of the word. The commander is walking the path of the mind. ”

“ ……. ”

Heart. Let's hear a little more. Winter sent a gesture to the main driver to wait a moment.

“Captain, what do you mean, the way of the heart? ”

Captain Singh looks a little embarrassed.

“I must have said something rash. I really didn't intend to induce this conversation. Apologies again if you feel this is a religious recommendation. ”

“Just out of curiosity. I've been thinking a lot lately. ”

“Hmm.”

The captain is concerned.

“There is a saying in the sacred Scripture: Though we think about God millions of times with reason, we cannot understand God." And the Absolute One dwells in the bosoms of all. "…. Finally," The absolute one hides in the hearts of all, and the one who gains freedom is Gurmukh. ”

That is, the story that continues.

“It is a teaching that every man has the will of God in his heart, the name of God. There is truth and love in everyone's heart. You have the ability to judge right and wrong. That's the name of God. For example, even when the worst murderer commits the worst crime, you know what's right in your mind. They just turn their backs on their desires. ”

Winter seemed to know the meaning of the Captain's approach to the name of God.

”Scriptures, prayers and strict rules are just a path to a true heart, giving up desire. This path is a clean and right path in the footsteps of great teachers (guru), but it is not the only path. Because mindless performance is meaningless. I've been realizing this ever since the end began. watching brothers and sisters who were truly faithful take their place first. What was the meaning of what they did? ”

“ ……. ”

“There is no desire more intense than the will to save your own life. But the commander doesn't save his own life for others. I don't feel any signs of fear from the commander. This is the image of Gurmuc, who renounced his selfish desire and gained a true heart, who realizes the name of God and does the will of God. ”

“That's an overestimation. ”

“Is that so?”

Winter no longer speaks. It was awkward. Although death before liquidating the loan meant immediate revocation, it was still awkward to say that it did not save lives in that context.

Send a captain to the church. Winter wanted to move alone, but by definition it couldn't. It was bad for soldiers who had to move in together, including drivers and shooters.

“I'm sorry to interrupt your break. ”

At the end of winter, the driver hesitates.

“Never mind. You said you could refuse if you didn't want to. ”

“Isn't this practically coercion? ”

“We're doing good, too. No one here thought it was coercion. ”

It was hard to tell whether he meant it or whether he liked winter.

The building that housed the mentally incoherent soldiers was a former inn and restaurant. Soldiers in wide rooms with transparent ivory afternoons coming in at an angle from every window. The story I heard was a bit of a strange conspiracy theory.

“I really like gays. ”

“What? Were you gay? ”

“What the fuck are you talking about? I like women. Stuck in the anus, of course, but that's also a story when you're a woman. You're not gonna fuck a man's ass because I'm crazy. I'd rather cut it off. ”

“Then why do you like being gay? ”

“If a man and a man have sex, that's how many women there are left! There's less competition! ”

“This sucks. Hey, there's nothing to compete for because all the men are dead anyway. You're dead.”

“This guy? No matter how dead I am, do I have to tell you that now? So, you're happy to be alive? A coward who survived alone. ”

“Idiot. I'm so happy to be alive. And, you know, no homosexuality. It's not right. How can you defend a gay man in the presence of a priest? ”

“Idiot. They're bound to get punished if they let them. ”

“Bee? What bee? ”

“Think about it. If a gay couple marries, they become gay couples. Wouldn't they fight over being gay couples? ”

“So?”

“So what? It's a man-to-man marriage! How awful!”

“Oh…. That's terrible.”

“Right? So we don't have to fight or punish each other. Stick with it and tell it to live what it looks like! ”

“You're the bad guy. Dead.”

“Hey."

Winter's greetings with the commander approached the soldier who was talking to himself about what the two of them should be talking about.

“Mitchell, is the seat next to yours empty? ”

“Ah, Major. Welcome back. You can sit here. Major Han is here! I really wanted to see you before I left! ”

An obscenely polite soldier points to the left with a confused hand gesture. And then he flinches to the right.

“Actually, it should be clear this way, too, because I think Brian's sitting there. Well, it doesn't matter if you sit down, but I think I'm confused. ”

“I understand, and I don't care which one. ”

“Thank you. I don't know what to tell you, but Bryan is a big man, and if you sit down, it'll look like your face is buried between his dirty chest hairs." My chest hair is dirty? Better than you with no fur at all. What are you talking about? I just shaved my head because I thought it was better for a girl I had been with before. Haha! You're not just breasts, are you? Major, he's got no fur on his ass! It's good to stay away! ”

Winter made me smile. Soldiers in good condition nearby shake their heads. There were times when I could take a deep breath and get away.

“By the way, I have a gift for you. ”

“Gifts? For me? ”

“Yep.”

Private Mitchell takes the silver cross out of his arms and puts it on the palm of winter's hand.

“This……? ”

“My mom sent it to me, and it was made by melting an old church cross. What do they say if you keep this, you won't die. I didn't believe it at first, but when Brian's dead and I'm alive, I get nervous. Oh, this one to the end. Brian, shut up. Anyway, Major, when I really thought I was going to die, I was praying for this, and there was handouts pouring out of the sky. Cavalry's coming. Don't give up. ”

“ ……. ”

“You'll be on a new mission soon, right? because I don't think I need it anymore. So,”

The private suddenly bursts into tears.

“Major, it's winter! Never, never die! Please, don't die! Don't die! ”

Winter looked down at the cross on the palm of his hand the whole time he was crying. The sunny silver shimmers in the water.

Q. Eeiko: What kind of paradigm is that? Oh, seriously, you laughed so much.

A. It's not a parody. I thought it would be fun. There is a possibility that the couple will come back later.

Q. Naughty Devil F: After the war, @ 1.6 million warriors will become more socially institutionalized discriminatory or prejudiced against the Chinese or Chinese people. The hatred the Nazis had for the Jews was so mild, it was more like a boardwalk.

A. The president is trying to stop it, but...?

Q. Baek Woo Shin: What the hell... I didn't think of that... Ha... I should have saved my life and dragged you to Scalochen, but I lost. Throw 13 chapters and sink. Glug...

A. We're doing it on a ship that we can. It's a lot to take in.

Q. Heusle: Thank you for your good writing, @. I've done one more trip to the Charnel House, but it certainly means a lot and I think a lot. Oh, of course. I love the taste of the Ossuary.

A. A sympathetic concentric creature lives in the taste of commenting. Best regards,

Q. ARMA: Send 27 coupons with @ always on the lookout. And if you look at this article, you can imagine the end. It's as if winter, a broken machine, and a closed heart, meets AI, a machine that wants to be the same person, and learns to love in winter, and learns to love in winter, and it feels like AI takes winter and goes into reality. So it's funny what a living novel writer does -- whether you've already learnt it or you study it enough to write a novel.

A. How can I write a novel without studying beauty like me? Haha. I'm so full of pride whenever the undertow is revealed.
