The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Snow Foxes

An orphan was a lonely person. On the night when Mother's uncleanness was discovered, a six-year-old girl was standing alone in a snowdrop, and his father, Gogol, turned into an irreversible tyrant. Until then, children who were brothers and sisters couldn't hear the news because their parents were different. There was a time when they missed crying, but until now it was just a distant memory.

Memories with Mother are worse than that. At the age of twenty, she was not surprised that she couldn't remember her name. It's because Father had already washed away all traces of Mother in Aryoung's little time. Many divorced families who were separated as children often forget each other's names. I thought it would come to my mind if I stamped hard, but she didn't feel the need. Even though she didn't empathize with him, she was just satisfied with her.

Nevertheless, the landscape of the white-covered courtyard, when everything began to go wrong, remains a strangely vivid memory. The fever of a beautiful mother and her handsome uncle intertwined and ran away from the hot indifference. There was a winter that was so clean and quiet. She thought it was like she came to another star. It was the last time I dreamed.

I look back on myself, my mind is still there.

After that, she was the daughter of a tyrant, and that kept her locked up. No one approached it easily, and no one came near it lightly. Occasionally, the doll that talked to me turned out to be a pile of ugly things from one day to the next. After that, I wrote a journal. It was a private conversation.

But there were moments when loneliness broke for a while in my life.

The first was when the child was born. Marriage was her father's tool, but the baby was her joy. Embracing her newborn body temperature, she felt tearful relief before her mother. You won't be lonely anymore. I won't be lonely anymore...

The second time was when I met a boy who wanted to be friends. The boy's name was winter, and the boy's heart was winter. She didn't want winter to hurt. Separate from the worst first encounter, it felt like looking in a mirror with an indescribable compassion, so it was compassion for Young Self before consolation for the boy. You're the one in the mirror.

The boy had an impressive silence. Cleanliness I've never felt from anyone else. The view of the world was also clear and clean. No matter how dirty the world was, when it snowed, it was pure white.

But the baby was taken by the father and the boy refused her.

After that, Ah-young became alone again. Her social status was just shells, and she couldn't escape from prison. After spending every day feeling helpless, Ah-young began to write her diary again as before.

A typical day was enough for three or four lines. I wasn't busy with my schedule, but there was nothing special about it. It was often in vain after a few seconds using Teletype.

But today was different.

As I was writing, I remembered a sentence that wasn't in her heart. At first, I thought he was unconscious. It is because the Teletype module sometimes captures thoughts that it did not even recognize. Increasing sensitivity settings with the best equipment is more common. For Aryoung, this was also a way to kill time sometimes. There are these things inside of me.

But when she read the sentence, she felt that her hair was getting soft.

Ah-young orphan. Do you want your child back?

It is rare for unconscious sentences to fit into a sari. Very rarely, that sentence refers to itself as someone else. And there was a decisive ideal that surpassed it.

Sentence will not be erased.

Delete, delete, delete. Despite being an interface that reads brainwaves and responds to will, there was no chance that the letters on the graphics that mimicked paper would be erased.

"It's useless."

Someone beyond the letter said.

Do not shake. I'm not your enemy. I have no intention of harming you, but I want to help you. We're going to need each other.

Respectful expressions across the corneal display.

Ah-young shrunk and immediately lowered the sensitivity of Teletype. so that only focused stratification is perceived as sentences. The user can't be exposed to the target unscathed. Fortunately, the sensitivity options worked fine. It meant that the control wasn't completely overridden.

‘But there won't be many people who can do this...' ’

Ah-young, the president of the paradise group, is nominally. Therefore, her handset was designated as the highest level of protection. However, there were a handful of people who conditionally ignored the security of Trinity's engines, according to paradise group internal rules or regulations.

However, even they are not able to look at Ah-young's terminal at any time. Especially if a legal warrant is issued. Or the legislation may be amended to ignore personal information. It was because the post-insurance control personality itself was designed to comply with the legislation.

Could it be that political prodigies secretly used some kind of number to shake the iron?

Or is a hound dog charged with watching his daughter play tricks on him? Special Secretary Kang Young-young was quite a great man. It's so fun to see a mother who misses her child.

In a short moment, all sorts of doubts passed by. Even Ah-young had a foreign intelligence agency in mind. It's unprecedented, but just in case. Major developed countries have long invested in artificial intelligence. He also wanted to take down the Trinity Engine.

Aryoung operated a security system independent of the handset. The conversation will be recorded. Circular icons spinning simultaneously for tracking. It doesn't look like it'll be over soon. I had to try to have a conversation to buy some time.

Who are you?

An infant's question. The opposing Pokémon immediately answers.

I can't tell you who I am right now. You're looking out for me. We need to build mutual trust first. The real story, including who I am, will be next.

Trust? How can you trust someone who's trying to intimidate your child?

You got it wrong, I'm not trying to intimidate you. I'm trying to help you.

Don't be silly. I must have approached you because I wanted something.

Of course, I want you to do something for me. But it's later. It means I'm not going to use him as bait.

The politeness still bothers me. She bit her lip.

Are you willing to help without conditions for now? You want me to get her back?

"Yes, as I said, belief in each other is paramount.

What if I later reject your request?

It doesn't matter, but it is very unlikely that it will actually happen. Because you want what I want. I understand who you are.

The creepy feeling that I understand enough once again. There were two cases. You've been monitoring by physical means, or you've been compromised by computer security for too long. In the latter, the opponent would have scoured all of Ah-young's squadrons thoroughly. The corneal display was also an input tool. It was possible that she shared her vision, not only in the diary, but even when she was changing clothes or taking a shower.

Since when have you been watching me?

The response is slow and cautious, whether it senses discomfort in the question.

You must be upset. I understand, but it was inevitable. For you, for me, and for your child and for everyone else.

It is not the answer to the question. She frowned and worried. Instead of chasing again, she asked another question.

Who are the others?

It's still a secret.

"Is this relevant to your purpose?

Yes, please do not ask me any more questions.

It was the answer to the last step. It may be an intentional act, but it's a little meaningful if you really mean it. The opponent says he wants what he wants. That is, they will know them even as well. A labyrinth in a language.

"Who else is involved with me? ’

It was winter that came to my mind immediately. It can't be my father. However, the opponent used the plural form "people." There was no one around Aryoung to say it was close, and there was no one else who missed it, so no matter how many times I thought about it, I couldn't find an answer.

The target's text is updated as the silence grows longer.

It is the same for me that requires faith. I'll tell you everything later. But now you have anxiety.

Ah-young sought to keep her sharp consciously.

"Okay, let's check something else. Do you know where my child is?

"Yes, let me show you.

The curious young woman forgot to breathe the next moment. It's because of the image on the retina. Her child in virtual reality parenting. While it looked like he was sleeping peacefully, there was no way to tell if he was actually taking a nap or playing with a virtual orphan. It was expected, but she felt a blurred vision and a sad gloom. The images and texts of the retina flow into the water.

Young seriously despises those who give birth only for financial reasons. And virtual reality parenting was their favorite parenting tool. Even that fee is added to the total amount of child support, which is a debt that a child will have to pay in the future.

But it seemed like a good thing for parents of this age. For them, the value of the child was only the sum of the tax deduction and the grants received by Dalai. They don't even know they're doing something wrong.

After suppressing her rage, Ah-young again wonders who the opposing Pokémon is.

How the hell? My father's work won't be that sloppy. ’

Ko Gun-chul described her child as a safeguard. He would have been so cautious because it took a post-insurance right to operate. This is also a trap, but my mind keeps leaning toward taking the risk. She hesitated and asked.

What are your plans for getting your child back? It wouldn't be normal if he found out. It'll all go back to bulldozing. It's a good thing we stopped there.

You can guess what I've just shown you so far. But there's a sense of anxiety. This is when Gogol wants to physically identify your child. Hacking a corneal display won't fool your sense of touch and weight.

Then?

I would like to move another baby that looks as similar as possible to the nursing home.

Ah-young's heart was filled with denial. It was like he was using someone else's baby as a tool. A child that even parents couldn't love.

The opposing Pokémon immediately adds a guess.

I am confident that the baby will have nothing to do with it. If your father wishes to harm the child, I can remove him as a final solution. We'll have a way to do that. even if that disrupts the original plan. You wouldn't oppose this.

“ ……. ”

The unidentified opponent makes shocking remarks too easy. Kill the comet and the ruler of paradise. You have no idea how thorough the security measures around it are.... It was even scarier if I knew what I was saying. It means that no one in this country is safe.

Besides, what's the plan?

Who are you, really?

The answer to the question came back to the same question as before.

Ah-young orphan. Do you want your child back?

“ ……. ”

She turned her gaze. The circle indicating that it was in pursuit was still spinning. It felt like a meaningless co-rotation.

We will soon send someone to help you during the process of reclaiming your child. You're an excellent agent, so you'll be willing in many ways. Until then, please remain normal. Let's end the conversation here. Stay healthy, both physically and mentally.

With unilateral notification, the opposing Pokémon removes the salutation.

She moans with her hands around her shoulders.
