The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Shadowed Parchment (1)

On the eighth morning after returning to Fort Roberts, winter came to join forces for the dead. It was the duty of the commander of winter to fold the masonry with the commander. Private Stan Page's funeral experience did not require any practice.

The responses of the families who received the triangulated striatum were each different. There were parents and children who wept bitterly, and there were spouses who wept silently.

Sometimes I felt an unpleasant temperature difference from the surrounding gaze. Mostly it was empathy and compassion for grief, but some were complicated jealousy and envy. Why should I envy those who have lost their flesh? Winter quickly recognized the cause.

‘Citizenship and warrior consolation. ’

Refugee reinforcements are recognized from the moment a class is assigned. Of course, there was a mandatory service schedule. If we lose our military credentials before five years are filled, we will also lose our civil rights under President McMillen's emergency administrative order.

However, there were exceptions. Surrounding the area due to injury will not be penalized. Honor for the warrior was higher than that. In addition to recognizing citizenship to the survivors, they are paid in compensation for the number of months of service multiplied by $1,000 and more than $10,000. It was a warrior's consolation.

In fact, it is hard to see that this is enough. Based on the transfer of the plague, the company's consolidated compensation totals $500,000, including Gratuity and Death Benefits (SGLI). That has declined greatly since the beginning of the War on Fire. It was a weighted financial burden.

Even now, I haven't made a single payment. No, the government is not capable of that. It was due to the apparent failure of the liberation operation reaching $27 billion in consolation alone. Consequently, the survivors at this time had to choose either to apply for a five-year split, receive an exhibition bond corresponding to the upper hand.

Even so, I was envious enough for many unfortunate refugees. Winter was hard to see as particularly bad people. Although life has improved a lot, the status of refugees has been unstable. It can vary greatly depending on the disposition of the administration.

‘At worst, they could get banished. ’

It was not a joke, it was a pledge of Republican nomination. Refugees interfering with national security are expected to leave the border. He said he would provide shelter on an island somewhere to support minimal supplies and weapons, but it was practically an exile concept.

The primary target, of course, is Chinese refugees. However, other nationalities have the same status. It meant that even the most positively rated European or Korean refugees were not as safe. So now that the election is approaching in about a full month, citizenship is more desperate than anyone else.

There were many other benefits for families, such as the right to use military medical facilities and military duty-free shops for a year, compensation for holidays not used by the whole company, and some housing subsidies.

Therefore, it was natural for the winter to receive a humble request.

“You want me to help you get recognized for your marriage? ”

The white coral that dragged my herd to the end of the initiation ceremony asked me to give it a moment. He nods, embarrassed by the winter questions.

“Yes, Commander Han. The people here were practically married to soldiers who had been killed. because he was in such a state that he couldn't formally get the ceremony up. ”

“Since the military office, you've been investigating family relations and receiving marriage reports among refugees, right? ”

“Yes, I did. But policy lacks a lot of public relations. I don't know, I might not have reported it. I feel sorry for you. As a base commander, please do me a favor. Haha.”

It was not yet an official base command, but a flattering winter float. Winter looked around the people behind the white coral. Young men and women don't get a good look at them. The number matched the number of warriors. Occasionally, even red-eyed people didn't seem to be really sad. Along with "The Detection," winter when he was convinced, he tilted his head and asked.

“Make sure you say it. You didn't call it in because you didn't know, or should we just call it in? ”

“ ……. ”

“I don't like lying very much. ”

The white coral, which was exposed to deliberate "threats," endured a stiff, dry salivation without losing its smile.

“Oh, I deeply apologize for this. I'm not sure I explained it enough. I never meant to deceive you. I made a mistake because I didn't get nervous in front of you. ”

“That was our intention after all. What else is there to explain? ”

“Oh my. What's the rush?" If you listen to the situation, you will understand. Yes, you will understand. It's what we need for our families, our communities, our allies. ”

“For the families and allies? ”

“Exactly. ”

The white coral nodded vigorously and responded to the frustrating rumors.

“Why don't you know it's not a big deal for me? I'm a person, yes, I'm a person. However, the number of civil rights holders is directly related to the interests of the entire alliance. Isn't this a terrible opportunity to blow this up? It's an opportunity for the living, so even the dead soldiers don't hate it. I'm going to give examples to the families. Yes.”

Winter has closed its eyes.

“Wait. The families already agreed? ”

“Eh……. Not yet.”

A speedy excuse when things get bad.

“I was going to tell the orphans after I got permission from the commander. ”

“The heart of the families comes first, right? ”

“Of course! Their minds come first. And that's why, when you make a decision so quickly, if you take it out as far as you can and you say no later, won't there be two more scars on it? Considering everything! Yes, this is what we tell our commander. ”

“You're not selling my name to make it easier for me to get consent? ”

“Hahaha……. ”

The white coral was an invisible person when smiling. He took out a handkerchief and brushed his broad forehead, surprisingly and quietly admitted the accusation.

“Honestly, there's a little bit of that, a little bit of that. It was commander's permission in the middle of winter. Give young people a chance! It benefits your alliance! If you get some examples, it will help your life! I tried to convince him. The families are having a hard time making rational decisions. ”

“ ……. ”

“But I want you to know one thing. You don't have as much to live for that white coral as you do! Isn't $10,000 a little low, to be honest? How do parents who lose their adult children live on? Even if the placenta of Americans relies on old age, even if they get citizenship, how much pension would they accumulate after middle-aged age as a refugee? Would the dead soldiers really like to see the rest of their flesh turned homeless? You will shed tears in the afterlife. ”

Two tight fists are shaking vigorously. The heat of the white coral resembles the speech of a politician.

“These guys here decided to give me a tenth of what they would make working in the future. until the total is 40,000 dollars. It's certainly cheaper to buy citizenship, but for young people who don't have it right now, it's a big price, yes, a big price. I can't document this promise as it is a matter of fact, but I will stand by this white coral as payment guarantee. ”

“How can I believe that from a family standpoint? ”

“Here! Commander Han knows! I'm a credible person. ”

A businessman who jumps on his chest and chews and aches.

“Hmph. There's no way out of the alliance anyway, and neither can I, except for your eyes. So where can we put our feet on American soil? ”

I purposely sighed as winter watched the reaction.

“How much did you decide to get as a broker? ”

“Do you take money? No way! This is not a selfish request! Didn't I tell you you're not as selfish as you are right now? ”

“If I find out later, I'll be really angry. ”

“I am truly innocent! ”

The coral spreads its hands in a blasphemous manner.

“You wouldn't be willing to trade a dead man's spouse for money. You want to wash your ears, yes, you want to wash your ears. But ordinary people have to make big and small mistakes in their lives. It's good to be conscious, because conscience doesn't feed you. ”

Even though he was so fluent, he was not a person who would move without profit. Now you're talking about people who don't have anything.

‘If that's true, then it's image laundering. ’

Giving a good impression of winter alone was beneficial. He may not be a good person, but he has a realistic eye.

Like many godchildren, it may be a means to show off their influence around them.

Other than that, it was likely that the men and women who brought it also had a lot. In fact, the faces avoiding gaze are white, and they are on the axis of being clothed very well within the refugee area. Refugees, even those with assets in the United States, have been emerging economically. As always, insight favors winter.

‘Just by dressing up, I'm a member of the Honor Court. ’

However, on the surface, it was a proposal for the families. In fact, some of the family members seem to be unable to accept it. At least I don't have to say it out loud.

Winter, which was counted as a conversation, slowly shakes his head.

“This is so unrealistic. It's going to be a cumbersome scandal if we get caught later. ”

“Will it leak? ”

“I don't know. I don't know what will happen. What if, for example, one of the families were threatening? If you don't give me more money, I'll expose you. ”

“Eh……. ”

“I could be the one being blackmailed. I don't want to make a weakness out of something trivial. ”

Not to mention, the subject of the threat may be a white coral. It won't work.

A sharp sadness passes by the face of the white coral. I would have benefited in some way. His mouth opens in a hurry. It closes without a sound. I came here in my own way, but I didn't expect it so far. But I do know there's a solution. If you can't speak, it's not the right thing to do.

Shortly after, the unsuccessful businessman shrugged.

“Phew. I can't help it. I thought it was a mutually beneficial deal for the families and young people. ”

“I'm going to care about the lives of the families. Don't worry about it. ”

There will be other ways to address the citizenship of job seekers. The white coral will reveal its interest. Winter didn't want to waste any more time here.

‘What a fuzzy guy...' ’

I constantly try to cross the line for my own benefit, but I don't really do anything wrong. I wish I had a sense of reality. Otherwise, he would have thrown it from the Min-won line. Winter is forbidden to use them as living sacrifices.

Looking at Kang Young-soon's notes, I felt something when I was dismissed from the middle office of the alliance. If that were true, it would have been a telephone sheath for the White Coral. Given that you are ready to be caught, luck does not hinder that you are a person.

The white coral bends perpendicular to the waist.

“Even though it turned out like this, thank you for your valuable time. I'll look for something better later. ”

And he stopped those who followed him.

“What are you doing? Why don't you say hello? ”

There was no such thing as old pride. Winter responded politely to them. Even though this is America, it's not something an old man can take seriously to get out like this.

The white coral turns around a few more times. I have a sticky feeling from behind it. No matter how well you plan to organize a refugee community in the future, that type of person will stay in the end. When the white coral disappears, a new white coral will emerge. Ordinarily selfish people.

‘Now we need to focus on other issues. ’

Winter pulled out the phone and pressed the numbering shortcut. Soon, the liquid crystal will have the name of Jin. The signal did not ring multiple times.

"This is Park Jin-seok, what's going on?

“Lieutenant, I need to talk to you. Come to my office by two o'clock. ”

Yesterday, I got a new call from the press office. Previously on Independent Troops... Therefore, winter was also the time to make a decision.

The answer of Jinsuk came back late at one stroke.

I understand…… Do you have any other instructions?

“Yes.”

"That's right, I'll see you then.

The call simply disconnected.
