“ So you finally decided to show up, you fucking trash! No, rather, group of useless! ”
““…””
" Grr..."
After walking around the area inside the second wall for a while, we finally arrived at the place where the soldier recruits were trained. I must say that it was a bit strange our way to the office where the leader or director of this place was… most of the people we met on our way here had quite piercing looks in their eyes when they saw us!
…even though I assumed something wasn't right at all, I forced myself to believe that this was just because many of the men here were jealous that three beauties were by my side.
Unfortunately, as much as I wished that the attitude of these people was due to that, I soon had to give up this thought! Since there were also quite several women in the place and I don't think all of them had sexual inclinations that would make them jealous of me, my earlier assumption must have been wrong!
Also... there were also some people who looked at us with pity. All this was just getting more and more confusing with each step we walk further towards the director's office of these barracks!
“The truth is that I would have liked you all not to show up… that way you would save me trouble! Besides, I wouldn't have disliked seeing you executed just like your brother and your family! ”
"…my family?"
““…””
Well, it's not that I didn't have an idea of what was going on right now... and the words of the bald man in front of me just confirmed the new conclusion I had come to! While trying to stop Horo who was starting to get upset due to this man's aggressiveness, I exchanged glances with the other girls as if to get confirmation of my thoughts...
It's a shame that Shigure was distracted… or amused watching the sunlight coming through the window reflect on his head! On the other hand, Saeko was trying not to laugh at this girl's actions by her side!!
As a last resort, I could only redirect my eyes to this man to continue talking and confirm my idea... It's good that he still seemed to want to continue complaining so I can get more information.
“Yes, your family… wasn't your older brother the one who stole all the previous military equipment? Don't you know how troublesome all that was for us?!
All military groups had to go through various difficulties, even the training of new recruits had to be postponed for a few years!! ”
“…”
With what he just said, then I understood everything and I totally confirm my assumption! All this was due to the damn background that the system gave us to be able to move in this place without problems!! Hell, it seems that we were criminals now!!
Couldn't the damn system give us a better identity?! Why did we have to be stigmatized for things we didn't do?! That was totally unfair!! It was like paying for crimes we didn't do!! How could I not be mad about this?!!
"U-n... we have to pay for the bad things we did."
“…”
Wait… yes, well… now that I think about it, it seems that, as Shigure says and although it wasn't exactly as the man explained, it was true that we were responsible for what he was complaining about… yes, the equipment had been stolen by us.
A-Anyway... if the system hadn't done this, I think it would be difficult for these people to discover that we were the cause... really, why did the system have to hand me over for what I did before? The system simply sold us!! Wasn't he supposed to be my ally?!!
"Well, at least it looks like you guys have a little hope in acknowledging that what your family did was wrong... if you work hard during this training you won't be executed."
“U-n… okay”
“…we will do our best, instructor”
"…it can not be helped"
“…”
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
…well, it seems like I was the only one who thought that way. The girls seemed to totally agree to pay for those actions from before... especially Shigure, it seems that this way her conscience will be clear.
Is my belief that "as long as no one finds out everything is fine " wrong? Or is it just that the girls are too pure?
Well, maybe me paying for some bad things I did isn't wrong… Besides, I had probably used up a lot of my positive Karma in the past few days! So removing the negative a bit shouldn't be a bad thing...better safe than sorry.
“…executed?”
Either way, there was something that could not be overlooked! I don't know if the girls just ignored this or didn't realize this, but things were definitely more serious than they appeared!
...I think I should talk to girls very seriously about accepting conditions that put their lives on the line so easily!!
“ Unlike the other recruits who are volunteers, you have no choice but to go through military training and pass it, otherwise you will be executed!!
Previously you all were only spared because you were kids, but now if you don't prove to be useful and can pay humanity for the sins your family did before, then you four will have to make up for it with your lives!! ”
“…”
Shit! If I remember correctly, there shouldn't be a deadly condition for this quest! Why is this bald guy talking about taking our lives as compensation now?!! Right now I really wanted to bang my head against a wall for all the trouble the system was causing me because of this identity it gave us!!
Fuck, if I had known, I would have simply refused to do this mission!! If all the humans in this place turned against me because of all this, all the plans I had would be ruined!!
"...you must work hard, unlike the other recruits, you only have two weeks left to pass all the military training."
“…that's pretty unfair, isn't it? !”
"Well... if not, then this couldn't be called a punishment, right?"
“…”
Does the damned bald man want to see us dead that much?! No, it may not be just him… several of the higher-ups in this place that I maybe screwed up a bit should be glad to see us fail!
…I have to take a deep breath and exhale the air in my lungs repeatedly in order to calm down a bit. So, after clearing my mind a bit, I realize that things were unlikely to get so bad… with my and the girls' abilities, it was hard not being able to complete the tests and military training… and if for some reason things don't go the way I wanted, there is always the alternative to escape and return to the citadel outside of this place.
The only thing I'd miss out on is the quest rewards... but honestly, I didn't really care about that. In fact, I must say that now these seemed pretty bad to me… the only interesting thing was that it could increase the range of various skills.
And, speaking of the citadel, I wonder how things are in that place… it seems that unfortunately now I will have to wait a while to visit it!
“Come on, I'll take you to those who will be your companions for what may be the last two weeks of your lives. So maybe you better make some friends and enjoy that time!”
""Yes""
"…whatever"
“ Now you will become soldiers… no, now that I practically have your life in their hands, I can be said to be your god! So answer correctly!!
To any order that comes out of my mouth, your only response should be “Sir, yes, sir!!! ”.
Understood?!! ”
""Sir, yes sir""
“…again, whatever”
“…”
Even though I get a glare from the bald guy, at this moment I really couldn't feel a bit of motivation to play along with him.
But fuck, his face was already scary enough, so if I was a normal person that glare might have made me pee in my pants! If I had to compare it to something… this man looked a bit like a mummy!! Unfortunately for him, I had seen much worse things… so his look doesn't affect me much.
Man, I already feel betrayed and screwed enough by my damn system, so please give me some space…
In the end, he just decides to ignore me and so the 4 of us walked behind him to be taken to what would be our new home for two weeks.
...Yeah, another reason I was a little bummed out was that my great nights had to stop for a while!!
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
“ Pile of rubbish, rejoice!! Today 4 other animals will join you!! ”
“…”
““…””
Soon, we are in front of several young people while the bald guy makes his introductions… what was this guy's name? Because of the surprise I got before and to think that I would have to sleep alone these nights, I forgot it… well, bald is fine.
Either way, I've always wondered if verbal denigration was necessary for the military... make no mistake, I've always respected people in this profession. Most of them go out of their way because they want to protect others… well, there are also some cases like Hirano… who just love weapons... and which I really think it was very dangerous to give them such objects!!
Coming back to the topic, does insulting new recruits make any sense? Is it to mark its superiority over the new ones? Or is it to vent the frustration they felt when they went through this too? If you ask me, I lean more towards the second option… after all, I think this can be one of the most stressful jobs!
In a place where the vast majority of individuals are men... maybe there is no other way to release all that accumulated stress!
In fact, because of these girls by my side which I will be able only to see but not touch during these two weeks, I think I'll soon be talking to everyone else here the same way he did!!
“ Whooh~ 4 new girls!”
“…no, I think one is a man… also, quite a cute one~!”
"I heard that they were nobles who lost their rights for various reasons..."
"Yes, I think I've heard something about that... a few months ago they finally discovered those responsible for the theft of military equipment that occurred a few years ago, it seems that was done by someone in their family"
“… Angel-san”
“…I-It's him, right? ”
“ Yes… t-there is no doubt, but… why haven't they changed anything in all this time? ”
With everyone's eyes on us, it doesn't take long for several murmurs to be heard from these youngsters. Most of them seemed quite curious about us… but, putting that aside, I think I've already found the first person I'll vent my frustration to when I can't take it anymore!! The eyes of some almost seemed to want to devour the girls next to me!!
On the other hand, I must admit that the effect of the system on brainwashing people is quite good… this could certainly be the biggest weapon the system has!!
...If I could use it wouldn't I be almost invincible?!
[Well… this has many limits imposed. First of all, to create a background, this is based on some things you've already done in the world… that's why things turned out the way they did.
Was it that or... that you would end up being some kind of a holy son for one religion in this place.
Perhaps you would have been happier with such a background, Alexander? Unfortunately, that was not adapted to carry out this mission]
F-Fuck… that was the alternative?! I think that would have been much more problematic in several ways!! In fact, in the citadel… and also in this place, there were already people who practically adored me! I just can't get used to that!!
But well… it seems that make whatever the system had done to brainwash everyone had its limitations… although that's a shame, I really think it makes sense. With such power, it wouldn't be difficult to conquer a world, right? And according to Cross, the help I could depend on from the system could only be around my current strength level… otherwise, it probably wouldn't be fun for him… right?
…I wonder if that guy is looking at me now? Damn it, I hope he at least respects my privacy with the girls!
Well, let's forget it…if it wasn't for him, I never would have met the girls. Besides, there were more important things now to worry about!
