Chapter 6. The price of the name (完)

* * * * *

Somehow, after applying the medicine, the pain quickly disappeared. Although it was not immediately cured to the level of ‘game tolerance’, it was still quick to recover.

Canned food is Kibele, which is made from whole pieces, but it has a good reputation for one medicine. The tooltip said that it activates cells to increase healing power. It’s like that in this world too.

It’s a bit reluctant, but there’s no alternative. As far as pharmaceuticals, Cybele has a monopoly. It is not strange, since it was a company that was created to exploit Elsa in the first place, and it was such a company that was making a lot of money for Römer.

Of course, it is not a panacea. Rescuers said that while cuts could be healed, tendons were ineffective. It was said that it was difficult to have a wound that had been formed for too long or a defect in the body.

It has nothing to do with immunity. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t cure the disease. It just helps the body heal its wounds.

Is that why? The thing that hurts your lips more than the wounds on your body. It’s swollen and hot. It looks like it may have been torn a bit. Not to mention the sweet foreign body sensation on the tongue. Memories of touch cannot be erased at all.

“Why did a kid who is bad at kissing do that?”

In fact, it’s partly because Camilla pinched her lips. Punishment for asking useless questions.

“What did you do well?”

“I couldn’t because it was my first time!”

“Because it was my first time too?”

It was too late for both of us that it wasn’t something to brag about so loudly. I was quite embarrassed and looked at different places and continued the conversation.

“I heard you were popular?”

“It was very popular. Because I used to be a model. But you know what? I thought you got anthropophobia. There were so many truths, after filming, I changed clothes and lived in the pool. That’s how the stress was relieved.

So what? When I was a college student, I was busy doing photo shoots and exercising to pay for my tuition and living expenses. I didn’t want to go out with anyone, and I didn’t have time for that.”

Chideokchideok, apply ointment on my wound and ask.

“… John. Have you ever dated anyone?”

“Oh, that’s it.”

“No. I guess I can tell from your personality. Let alone a girlfriend, I wonder if he had a human friend.”

Looking at someone and what.

“No. There were so many. I had a hundred friends with whom I went through life and death.”

Really. There is also a list. Since 100 people filled the ‘game friends window’, which is the limit, and 200 people on the blocked list were also filled, the number of friends exceeded 300.

Most of them are the ones who tried to kill me by following me using the ‘Find Friends’ function, or the ones I killed while looking for them. Aren’t all friends like that?

“… Anyway, since I don’t have any friends anymore, let’s say that. John, what do you like? Don’t kill zombies.”

Camilla never gets tired and asks again.

“I like animals.”

“Really? What?”

“Because if you have a clear relationship in rank, you can become close.”

“I’m sorry, John.”

“What?”

“I was bad for asking.”

Camilla hasn’t asked more since then. I also didn’t say anything. After applying the medicine, I put on my clothes and gear, and stood guard, Camilla fell asleep.

I left the door slightly open, but it was awkward to be in the same room, so I sat down on a chair in the hallway and stood guard.

“What is all this?”

As if dreaming of a real re-enlistment, you shudder at the slimy reality. It’s a partnership It reminds me of when Camilla staggered with her MRE.

– You’re a coward, you know? Pretending to be strong, pretending it doesn’t matter if you’re alone, but the truth is, you hate being betrayed!

I don’t even remember what he said, and I didn’t want to remember, so I just blurted it out. It sticks like dregs and hardly comes off. Maybe it’s because everything she said was right.

But how many people like that kind of thing, and how many people are calm even if they get hurt?

“… What is this?”

It’s shift time.

Camilla fell asleep so soundly that she felt sorry to wake her. But I also need to rest.

I have to go around all day tomorrow and move things, and although the odds are small, I might encounter zombies or gang remnants hiding somewhere.

You need to rest enough to prepare for unexpected situations.

“Camilla.”

Hmm, he said and turned around. The fading moonlight revealed the silhouette of her body. I felt like I was going to get dragged in if I looked at it any longer, so I pulled up the blanket.

Tup.

He stealthily holds my hand, but doesn’t open his eyes.

“Is it shift time?”

“Yes.”

“Are you okay?”

“So much better.”

Camilla jumped up to her feet, wondering if she was sleeping. Before she can say anything, she throws off her gown and puts on the prepared clothes. She was embarrassingly bold to look at. It seems that she will be treated more strangely than talking.

“John.”

“Yes.”

“Are you leaving tomorrow?”

“It should be.”

“Go with me. No, what are you talking about I’ll follow you. This is a notice.”

“Why are you talking about one mana?”

“If you want to shoot, shoot as you like. And again… Let’s do a favor. Do you know the number of the 8th corps?”

8Th Legion number? Know to know It should still be saved on my phone. But why… No way?

“Are you going to call the National Military Police?”

Camilla, who has become much softer, puts on her bulletproof vest.

“No matter how much I think about it, there is no place other than that to accept them. If you were held as a slave, you’d be happy there too. Because they are good at using propaganda.

I thought about staying, but no. Those people need professional care. I’m not a doctor, so I can’t reach that level.”

It was unexpected. To Camilla, the National Gendarmerie was something that could not be easily chewed to death. So this kind of look seems forward-looking somehow.

“Does this sound like a strange plan?”

“No. I think it will be fine. When I listened to the radio before, they said that the hostages they saved in Lambert were the ones who did it. It will be like this again.”

“Because they are good at incitement and fabrication.”

“But I didn’t expect you to think of the National Military Police. I thought you were uncompromising that way.”

“People have to live and see. What is the meaning of Elza without Elza?”

When you say the word Elza. Camilla is different from her face. Emotions also seem to be much richer. If you have to ask, love? No. Love is not It seems different from that.

“Camilla. What is Elsa to you?”

“Huh? To me?”

She nodded silently. The moonlight between her curtains illuminated her. She was like someone sitting on a stage in a play. As if it was your turn now, as if it was your turn to speak.

“… A hometown I have never been to.”

“It’s a poetic expression.”

“My parents always said that. To us, Elsa is a hometown we have never been to. We are stepping on the land of Elza, born and raised in Elza, but here we want… It’s not the kind of place we dreamed of. So, we have never been to our hometown.”

Camilla stood up. And yet her moonlight still shone upon her. As if she had something to say, she asked me to do more.

“People say there is no Elsa. That’s fiction. Historically, Elza has never been Elza. But, no. They don’t know how much blood was shed to get Elza’s real name back. That’s not such a light name.”

The moonlight faded. Camilla whispered.

“… Never.”

Camilla, breathing heavily, ran across her room. She picked up her rifle and I unlaced my boots. It’s a new one and it fits well.

“John.”

The woman who became a warrior looks back at me.

“Yes. I am listening.”

“I don’t know everything about you. I’m not going to ask you to go there with me. But… When the real hometown returns. When the day comes when Elsa will pay for her name under the protection of her Goddess of Hunger… At that time. I wish I could do it like you.”

Camilla’s eyes twinkled.

“You are our business partner. Yes? I will leave your share as well.”

“Yes.”

I untied the laces of my combat boots and lay down on the bed. Waking up and thinking about getting dressed again is cumbersome. Suddenly, she remembered the motorcycle she was riding.

The one who invites war.

It belonged to a gang member from the Explosive Angels, but he seems to have worn it to look cool. I don’t know what the previous owner was like. But I think I met the new owner well.

Footsteps. It’s Camilla. He didn’t come in, opened the drawer, and closed it again.

“Did you leave something behind?”

“Ah. I had something to say, but I forgot.”

“What?”

“Tomorrow is a bit different, so start working out with me from the day after tomorrow. I’ll teach you. Looking at you, I can’t help you because you’re sloppy. Instead, you cook for us. Isn’t that fair?”

“No.”

“This is just for reference, but this is also a notice.”

Then I closed the door again and left.

No way. She opened the drawer with an ominous thought. The blah box is gone.

He’s nice, but a screw is missing in a strange place. It must have been because I had been with a bad friend like Hans for a long time. After all, one should make good friends.

… Besides, isn’t there a law that says to use all things for my own purposes? Sometimes, even that ultra-thin type is useful. In one famous movie, a priest put holy water in it and made it into a vampire-exclusive grenade.

But there are no vampires here.

“I don’t know.”

I need to sleep.

* * * * *

A few days later.

The 8th National Military Police Special Mission Medical Company.

The routine began as usual.

Virginia came to the special detention cell still smiling. After defeating all of her men, he had a one-on-one meeting with Cassandra. And, as always, Cassandra kept her mouth shut.

But today, even this daily life is about to change.

“Congratulations. There are two good news. No bad news, everything is working very well.”

There was no life in Cassandra’s eyes. She is a dead eye. There is only emptiness. Virginia took a good look at those cool eyes.

“First news, the long quarantine period is finally over. Everyone, including you, was able to leave the hospital after three days. That’s all.”

“… Second is?”

“Huh?”

“I hear there are two good news.”

Cassandra’s voice was even hoarse.

Anyone who is confined to this ward will become like that. The soul empties out, and at last only her shell remains. A room completely blocked from all stimuli. So Virginia liked this kind of room. She could easily break people’s will.

“Ah. After this interview, you will be staying in the medical company dormitory. Freedom is guaranteed, but a little ‘humanitarian medical service’ is needed instead.

Our proud special task force rescued slaves who were persecuted by a certain gang. You can get out of here. However, you are an exception.”

“Why?”

“Now let me tell you the second piece of good news. This is the last time I ask you this worthless, meaningless question. Come to think of it, good news for me, but not for you.

Choose whether you want to cooperate with me and take the name of Cassandra Wilson, or stick around and go back to the name of Ophelia Osborn. If you go back to being the only daughter of the Osborn family of war criminals, people’s eyes will be pretty good.

Since you graduated from medical school, can you count to three? This is the last thing that gives you freedom to choose. Pass this over and I’ll choose your name. Three. Two. One.”

“I will cooperate.”

“Oh. At las?”

“Yes.”

Cassandra’s voice sounded almost like a sob. Humiliation, frustration, and defeat seem to trickle down on her like mud.

The humiliation of having to sell out others to protect the name she has chosen. But on the other hand, she hopes that somehow she will find him only if she gets out of here alive.

‘… Apparently that’s it, she’s got her fake jewelry. She’s got real jewels too.’

Cassandra knows the maker of the jewel. In a harsh world like this, such valuables go up in value.

And she knows where and through which channels those gems are distributed. Everyone knows that her father was accused of war crimes and died unjustly. Her butlers, who have hidden her appearance, are still helping her both physically and mentally.

She is him, if only she would reappear and sell her jewels from her Lambert. If so, she can go looking for it again.

“Yes. I’ll tell you everything you want to hear so much.”

Naturally, she won again. Virginia was satisfied.

“Good. I prepared all the writing instruments. Especially this time, let me write it down. Okay. What happened with V? What conversation was there?”

“I touched the breast.”

It was misaligned from the first line.

Virginia slipped a pen. And she looked at Cassandra.

“… What did you do?”

“Milk. She said she was touched. Artifacts. He caressed my breasts gently over his clothes. As Cassandra’s body hardens… “

“Now. Me now… Dare to despise the main building… !”

Virginia’s face flushed red. She was more in awe than anger. Even her hands were shaking. But Cassandra was still empty.

“Cassandra was that desperate. I wanted someone to believe me. That’s why I gave him only what others coveted.

As much as she was, the one who smelled good… Different from you Cassandra believed him, and he trusted Cassandra. I also shared the signs of her faith. He was the only person in the world who believed Cassandra’s words as they were.”

Virginia wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. She could hardly concentrate.

“… And?”

“But he abandoned Cassandra and tried to run away. Cassandra wanted to be with him and got into her driver’s seat. She grabs his chest, sits astride her thighs, and she rubs mine against his….”

“I can’t listen anymore!”

Virginia jumped to her feet. Her purple eyes swayed randomly as if they were about to break.

From noble mtl dot com

“Didn’t you say you wanted to hear Cassandra’s testimony? Cassandra is being honest.”

Still dead green eyes. Dark long, straight black hair. Virginia seemed to be suffocating her. I couldn’t stand this.

“Why, why do people not listen to you? Lustful… Shallow… ! I have no shame and I don’t know the subject… !”

Virginia shut the door and ran out. Cassandra muttered as she stared at her empty chair.

“… Viruses mutate. Endlessly. I will repeat degeneration and evolution and find a breakthrough. Never stop But why doesn’t anyone listen to Cassandra’s words?”

But the captain didn’t hear that. It was because I was out of breath in the hallway. The gendarmes looked at Virginia in horror.

“Captain, are you okay? What if… “

“No. No. I… “

Virginia’s big breasts throbbed. With one glare at her hospital room, she hurried out of her duty company. On her way out, Leticia happened to be there.

“Ah, Captain. She was just looking for… Captain? What the hell is going on?”

The iron-blooded captain was trembling as he was bluish. He was so embarrassed that even his hands were slippery.

“… Jung, intelligence officer?”

“Have you had any problems during the interrogation process?”

“Adjutant. Me, me like this… I’m not the kind of person who asks for something like this. I’m really sorry.”

Leticia rolled her eyes. What the hell happened to the leader of the corps like this?

“Shall I interrogate you instead?”

“Would you like that?”

Holding your hands tightly and asking for a favor. It was even more horrifying. I came late because of the fear of ‘Isn’t this something I can handle?’

This was an opportunity. A chance to impress the general manager.

“I will. Just leave it to me.”

The leader handed over the ballpoint pen and interrogation paper. No, I didn’t want to give it to them, but I grabbed the outer cover and tore it apart.

“Mi, I’m sorry, but please write it down from the beginning. I’m really sorry.”

Then it disappeared like the wind. Even in the midst of that, his elastic chest swayed beautifully. Thinking this was very strange, Leticia approached the special prison cell. Military police also reacted similarly.

“… I don’t know what kind of terrible thing he said that the captain is doing that.”

“Don’t you guys know what happened?”

“You know what? When the door is closed here, the soundproofing is thorough, so even if the patient is hit enough to break his head, he won’t know.”

“… I get it. I must be prepared.”

Leticia opened the door. Her sullen-looking woman tilted her head, looking at her with her blank eyes.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Intelligence Officer Leticia. She gets commissioned and tries to interrogate Miss Cassandra Wilson. Therefore… ah. You just have to state what happened with this V.”

“… Also?”

A voice without life. Leticia decided to give her a little comfort.

“Teacher. I understand that it is very difficult. But please help us a little. As you know from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we are also a bureaucratic organization in a way. In the end, the superior said… “

“Okay.”

“Thank you. Teacher.”

With a smile, Leticia grabbed her ballpoint pen. She seemed to be doing better than expected.

“So, what happened?”

“I touched the breast.”

She almost broke a ballpoint pen, but Leticia is an elite officer. Twisting her legs and twisting her body, she meticulously wrote down the whole story.

“… Information officer?”

The military police were more frightened. Leticia’s body was wet with sweat. She could see all of her undergarments under her white shirt. Her face was red, hot steam came from the corners of her mouth, and her thighs were twisted.

“I, that person too, move, move, move, do. New, to the living quarters.”

Leticia crossed her hallway with a strange gait. ‘Aren’t you sick to the stomach? Why are you doing that?’ The military police whispered, but they bit their teeth and pretended not to know.

As she waited, Leticia returned to her desk, waited until everyone had left work, and finished writing her report while working overtime. Kept in

Can’t sleep at all, Leticia drank all night and ended up taking sick leave for two days in a row.

As expected, Virginia, who went to work wide-eyed, granted sick leave without asking anything.

She continued to chain smoke and read and reread her reports. When she left work, she smelled of her cigarettes, her hard liquor, and the strong scent of roses.

The secretary did not blame the leader for his negligence.

I was just afraid of the contents of the report, which would have shocked and angered even the two strong women.
