The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Changes (4)

Min Wangi burst out a smile on the phone with Winter.

You really like him.

I was glad it wasn't a video call. Winter was unsure of her expression at this moment. I was ashamed and embarrassed, because I did not mention anything about my relationship with Anne. I just shared a conversation with her and asked her for her opinion.

“Hey, does it look like that? ”

When winter hesitated, Min-wan replied with a still full of laughter.

"Yes, you are like a boy who loves his first love. Well, you're not a boy anymore...

The boy who makes his first love. Winter has nothing to say about its sharpness.

"Supervisor Gibson? When you talk about him, it's hard to pretend that you don't know him because his tone is different from normal. If you still want to keep it a secret, you should avoid mentioning him in any way in front of others.

“I'll hold you to that. I don't feel I should keep it a secret.... ”

There's no reason to talk on purpose. Anne will be more tired than winter. One last smile at the answer to the winter sigh, the middle-aged commander changed his tone.

"Back to the point, I agree with his opinion.

“Is that so?"

Everyone is anxious. The little commander has already disappeared once.

“When you were sent to San Francisco? ”

"Yes, lieutenant in the middle of a winter, missing during an operation. The memory of this news will remain traumatized to most allies. Captain Park Jin-seok is no exception. I had a lot of help with the overall atmosphere, and it seemed to me that I had a deep sense of skepticism about people. He was also disappointed that he couldn't replace the commander.

“Disappointed……. ”

You've always been greedy. There may be anxiety at the root of that greed, no matter what Agent Gibson said, but it's certainly not strange to have an obsession that you absolutely need someone in the middle of winter. I've learned from experience that I don't like what happens to the Refugee Zone when the commander disappears.

“I understand, but a little sad. ”

What do you mean?

“The idea of needing me and worrying that I might leave is, technically, different. ”

There is a connection.

“But still. because I think I've done enough to realize that I'm not going to die easily on the battlefield. ”

Bondi's breasts do not listen to her head. Generally, reason is a slave to emotion. First of all, people change as they progress. They think you're just like them.

“ ……. ”

I see the anxiety that people share as a beneficial phenomenon.

“A beneficial phenomenon? ”

As long as the allies and refugee officers have such concerns, they will not take the help of the little commander for granted. No one appreciates the obvious. It's often said that if favors continue, they know it's a right. Alliances are inevitably vaccinated against the diseases to come. After the rain, the ground is solid. Ideal power. "

“…… I'm starting to wonder about that. How does the Alliance or Refugee Zone feel? I'm sure many people will be surprised by this rebellion. And tomorrow is the election. ”

"As you may have guessed, America, at this point, is the last burial ground of civilization, whether you like it or not. And it was an incredible shock to see the capital of the United States go into battle. I thought my heart stopped when I first heard the news. It was like watching the end of the world live. Life expectancy would have been reduced by a few years.

That day, there were brave journalists. A lot of the press in D.C. took risks and went out on the field. After confirming that the wired network was alive, they transmitted the progress of rebellion and oppression almost in real time. So the end of the world was a living testimony.

Moreover, the small commanders and Independents on that battlefield…… Ah, now we have to call them the Alpha Squad. Anyway, I guess there were a lot of us. People are fainting all over the place, and even the elderly have died of heart attacks.

“Oh my……. ”

Winter drenched me. Even in that rough battlefield, there were no warriors in my platoon, but the dead came out of the wrong place.

After the rebellion was suppressed, it was great for a while. There's word that the commander has been seriously injured and transported to the hospital. How many people stayed up all night watching TV……. Too bad. The commander should have seen it firsthand.

“It's too much to listen to. ”

I meant it. I think the minds of all those people are inherently different from the past. Winter used to be about people regardless of their nature, but even so, the words of the starlight child could not be affected at all.

“Tell the injured soldiers' families I'm sorry. I also promised to help with the aftermath.... Of course, I have to tell him myself, but his return is later than expected. Until then, I'll ask your supervisor. I trust you'll do well. ”

Are you delayed because of the length of hospitalization?

“No. After discharge, until early next year, there will be an order to stay in D.C. with the rest of the squadron. It's a sensitive time. ”

"Haha. I understand.

Min Wangi seemed to be fun.

"There are still a few Winter Commanders who have demonstrated ridiculous combat power, and none of them are stupid enough to crash. The citizens will think so. A lot of people will be relieved just by the presence of the little commander there.

“It's a little overwhelming, to be honest. ”

He shows such fights and is still humble. If so, is Commander Fort Roberts still in command of Lieutenant Laplin? Before the little commander returns?

“No way. Your regiment is scheduled for a continental separation operation. Important troop movements are not so easily canceled. You'll have to leave on a specific date. ”

"You mean the base commander will be vacant?

“That's what I heard. ”

You're in trouble.

Winter shrugs.

“What can I do? There's no one there. The government used to shut us down when we ran out of money. ”

…….

“But don't worry too much. They say the least they can do is get back to work. I'm guessing military command will be assisting you remotely. Even so, the lieutenant must be pretty sick because he's prepared for it. ”

The successor was suffering because of winter.

Min-won changed the topic.

By the way, which candidate did you vote for?

The election date is tomorrow, November 8th for two days, but winter is already over. Because the address is in California, I put out a battle ticket with migrants who have not yet returned home. The full recovery was far away, but there were no large crowds to get to the polling stations.

The evacuees welcomed the appearance of winter as a frenzy close to madness. Winter has largely contributed to returning home to migrants because its background has been mostly California. Why is it hotter than other locals' love?

Half of what the Department of Public Affairs says is California migrants. I wanted to.

Winter answered the chief's question with a smile.

“I'm afraid I can't say that. ”

Is it a secret to me?

“Rats listen to birds during the day, rats listen to mice at night. ”

This call was also an indication of a concern about leaking out. In itself, it was very unlikely that anyone would take advantage of the fact that winter had voted for anyone.

“So I'm going to keep my mouth shut. ”

I see what you mean. So can you answer this question?

“What kind of questions? ”

Supervisor Gibson.

It was a serious prank. I wrapped my forehead with my hands remaining in winter.

“…… why are you being so mean today? ”

"Please understand, the love life of others is just as exciting as the sight of a mute neighbor.

“Does that apply to older people like Deputy Director Min? ”

It is said that when you are old, your mind becomes difficult to reverse.

“I think you have a decade left to grow old like that.... What do you want to ask? ”

"It's not great, but I was wondering if it was the person you mentioned before. There are people who help the commander in many ways. Is that correct?"

“Thank you? I can't remember when I said that. ”

"This is a call you made when you were in San Francisco.

“San Francisco... ah! ”

I can almost remember the lost winter. Anne hit her head on the wall in the cabin after hearing that she was a very helpful person. Now, I feel like I've forgotten about her and benefited from the way I felt since my feelings for her have changed considerably compared to those days.

‘Cute.’

Winter also made me want to hit my head. This is too much.

“... You have a good sense and good memory. How did you know that? ”

It was a rough guess that followed. The small commander I know is not light enough to give someone a heart in a short time. He is also a person who will be careful to be cautious of temptations when hitting the sky. Love is a rare emotion, but it's hard to imagine such passionate romance for such a small commander.

“ ……. ”

So it is possible that after at least a few months from the first encounter, the covert operation would be the most powerful if the commander, who was always on the battlefield, had contact with the FBI supervisor? But I've heard it from the commander at the exact time, so I've made a connection. You said it in a pretty friendly tone at the time.

Winter poured out a laughter. Do you even remember the tone of the conversation over half a year ago?

“Amazing. In a lot of ways. ”

My head is still usable.

Min-won said that again after he gave me a joke.

"Thank God."

“What?”

I don't think the commander will be like me. A little, but I'm glad.

It was implicit, but winter was easy to understand.

Min-won used to describe the world before the plague as a trash can. Order and law were just coincidences created by different disorder, foolish and selfish individuals colliding. So he had a cynicism. He said it was more fun to build a new one after it fell down. He despised the world where human limits had been built, the murky and filthy waterway.

In other words, Min-wan was a difficult man to love. And he didn't fall.

“Anne... no, Director Gibson said that. Don't let people down. ”

Oh.

“That's how old people are. I wouldn't expect anything more... She felt that way watching me. The more I chewed, the more impressive I said it. I actually think about it a lot. Is it really the fault that flowers don't bloom in winter? ”

"Why do you blame the environment and only the people?

“Well, something like that. even though it's mostly a human or something that people have created. ”

Dongbaek also blooms in winter.

“You can't kill everyone except Dongbaek, right? ”

"Yes, unfortunately. Life is a terrible burden.

This regret was the difference between winter and Min-won. Temperature differential of compassion for people.

“Supervisor Gibson later said that people, including himself, could be better people. He wanted me to believe that. ”

That's what an FBI agent who is close to the bottom of the human says……. You've met a nice person.

“Yeah, he's a really good guy. ”

I don't know if it will be a day when the world will meet its expectations, but it will certainly suit your personality.

Min Wangi laughed, and after winter he smiled shyly.

Subsequent calls were not long. The commissioners of the alliance, including the Minwan Period, got used to the absence of winter. At least it's not known that winter died like before, so the confusion won't be too much longer to bear. Song Yeong-kyung also pledged to cooperate actively.

Maybe he had a conversation too long without considering paralysis. I'm going to hang up now.

“It's not midnight yet. I don't care if I'm late, so please call me if anything happens. I'll take it if I can. ”

This place must be something. You're important. You're important. Anyway, get some rest.

“You, too.”

Winter put down the phone. Time runs out on the liquid crystal. The day changes in about two hours. It was election day. The US presidential election was not a straightforward election, so there was still a vote for the election in December, but this process was meaningless when the difference in vote was as clear as this.

I turned off the fire and looked up at the dark ceiling of winter on the bed. Thinking about what you're going to say to a starlight child sooner or later.
