“Absolutely. A true aristocratic family with a tradition that owns the core groups of the consortium business association and has been deeply involved in the history of the founding of Dusk.

Not to mention the size of Schneider Electric’s assets, it also has a wide presence in the automobile industry, and the recently listed Schneider Eisen Sado… .”

‘It seems that the family is still doing well? There was no news for a while.’ As I answered that, I paused for a moment.

‘Wait a minute. Otto? Otto Wolfgang Schneider, Schneider’s first guest?’

If I’m not mistaken, it seems like the president of Dragon just called that historical figure by name as if he was talking about his acquaintance in the neighborhood.

I was going to ask him about it, but suddenly I realized that the surroundings had become quiet. Dragon President, Tony and Sei were all looking at me.

[…] Maybe I did something wrong like Coke earlier? Do you have a special relationship with the Schneider family or something?]

Oops.

Simply, ‘Schneider is still a prosperous family.’ I was supposed to say

It was the aftermath of Cyberdive.

Because the Schneider family’s net data remained in my head, I had to respond in detail as if I was a member of the family without realizing it.

“no. just… Reminds me of where I heard it. Never mind. haha.”

“For such a thing, he was suspiciously serious about the Schneider family. Where the hell did you hear such detailed information—Aww!”

“… what.”

As a sign to be quiet, a slap from the side poked Tony’s body with his elbow, going much deeper than I intended.

It was only then that I realized that I had forgotten the combat mode of the suit and had not turned it off yet.

After giving an uppercut to the dragon boss, it was still on until now.

Oh my gosh. Somehow, the movement seemed to be heavy.

Even the power just put on his arm was considerable.

I swung it lightly, without much thought, but for Tony it would have felt like an amateur fighter’s elbow attack.

[Disable Combat Mode.]

The Nanosuit’s combat capabilities and kinetic drive must have had these unimaginable shortcomings.

In the future, I will not be able to activate it carelessly. However, when the situation is over, it should be shut down immediately.

As I was fidgeting next to Tony, who had trouble breathing, the Dragon boss kicked his tongue and shouted.

[don’t mind. Just how much it hurts. Koits (this child)… Strictly.]

“It’s not harsh… I can’t really breathe… It really sucks… Oh, Nakamura… I curse you… .”

Tony cried out and collapsed on the table.

like that

I’m very sorry… what would be ok

Dragon boss is still fine, so don’t worry about it.

If something goes wrong, I don’t know. It’s all the boss’s fault.

He opened his mouth again, trying to ignore Tony, who was injured and knocked down.

“So the DCPD and the Schneider enlisted came in, and what happened after that?”

[The enlisted people asked me and other customers about this and that, and they rushed back with a girl, and the DCPD was the problem. They were very exhausted by asking questions about this and that.]

“But the City Police didn’t come to me.”

As I say with my own mouth, no one has a bigger stake in this case than I do.

I fought Ned Rudd to the end, and I was the one who made him burn out in the explosion.

Naturally, I thought the police would investigate me, but for the past three days no one has come.

Neither DCPD nor Schneider.

There was no contact via cyberwatch, let alone patrols coming and knocking on the door.

The only contact I received was a call from Shiho Lee’s headquarters and a message from President Dragon, so I was able to spend a pleasant break.

Of course, I eventually ran into City Police, but

It was an unexpected encounter in a strange place for a completely different reason.

Playing classic games at the game center, because of the damn dead cell.

After all, psycho gangsters don’t help life.

[Oh, that. i said i did The Luddite minions and their boss, Ned Rudd, exploded EMPs in the store and played chess, so I personally came out and cleaned them up.]

In the midst of cursing the terrorist gangs in my head, my brain stopped for a moment at the words of President Dragon.

this is, so

It is said that the otaku dragon in front of me took the DCPD and Schneider’s attention and all the aggro on my behalf.

It’s something I’m really grateful for, as I don’t like getting attention… why?

“Why did you do that?”

[Naniga (what)?]

“I did it, but why instead?”

When I asked with a frown, President Dragon scratched the elongated titanium spout.

[Uh, um. did you just do it? I did this on purpose to let you rest because you are unconscious. He doesn’t seem to like the attention he gets on an incident like this, and… .]

“In addition?”

[Again, if you said you did it, it seems that the DCPD and the Schneider family will conduct a very thorough investigation of you.]

“… .”

[Then I thought you would be in trouble, so Oresama (this body) came out. Thinking about it now, I shouldn’t have done that. I suffered a lot.

He was taken to the DCPD branch, interrogated, tested, and released only at dawn. If I hadn’t been the founder of Dusk, I would have been held there longer.]

The way he shrugs his shoulders and speaks is quite humorous.

But there were bones in it.

‘Then I thought you would be in trouble.’

Dragon boss knows. DCPD or the Schneider family.

Either way, I know it’s going to be dangerous if I’m dragged out and put to the test.

Was it a simple feeling, or did I implicitly give the tea?

Or maybe his cybernetics had the performance of a precision eyepiece worn by special police officers of the executive rank, often called ‘hacker’s eye color’, so that he could see through my fake identity.

It’s a strange story.

If I tried to find out the hidden secrets of Dragon’s Rare by observing the behavior of the dragon boss and bartenders, the opposite could also be true.

They also watched me closely. They also noticed to some extent what I was trying to hide.

How should I react?

Come now… There’s no point in pretending you don’t know.

I thought today’s dinner would be a place that would decide the job of Dragon’s Rare for me, but… At the same time, Dragon’s Rare and its members were also judging me.

Especially, the head of the dragon, the boss.

The Dragon President I have experienced so far has been a very contradictory person.

Hot but strangely girly. He seems to treat the world with unconditional goodwill, yet he has the sharpness to doubt and filter others.

Usually he seems like a fool, but sometimes he shows surprising ideas and wisdom.

And that wasn’t his true form in my opinion.

All I could confirm was what he had shown on the outside.

Those powered armors, dragon helmets, and weird otaku tones are a kind of mask.

The real inside of the mask, the true inside of a human named Sasha Dragon, has never been seen.

So, even though I know the alter ego of Dragon President, I do not know about the main character, Sasha Dragon.

Whether you are a woman or a man, how old you are, what you look like, what is your unaltered original voice… .

‘Can I trust a man named Sasha Dragon?’

I do not know. And the same goes for Sasha Dragon.

Because I am wearing a mask too.

Unlike the president of Dragon, I revealed my appearance as it is, but I also have a lot of things that are hard to hide.

I have always been working with Aaron Nakamura, who is my replacement, rather than the perfect myself.

I have never once, never revealed my true background or life history in front of others.

… But that doesn’t mean that he wasn’t sincere just because he wore a mask and treated others. I always did my best.

I just couldn’t reveal everything due to complicated circumstances.

Is Dragon Boss the same?

All I knew was that at least the dragon boss treated me with good will.

Because it helped me to rest comfortably by taking on the shield to receive the touch of DCPD and Schneider instead.

Even before that, he gave me free training as a bartender, or helped me go home every time.

If I want goodwill to continue, I also have to show sincerity.

If you really want to get inside the dragon’s nest and its fences, you have to open your mind first… .

Ha, that’s easy to say.

With a sigh, he cleared the examination and opened his mouth.

I proudly admit and reveal my own weaknesses.

“Yes. It must have been difficult. Thank you for caring me.”

[right? Did I do well? hey… . It’s worth the hard work! Please continue to thank me.]

When I see her sulky appearance that doesn’t fit her size, I wonder if it was because of her mood, or maybe I thought it was needlessly complicated.

Obviously, I answered with fierce calculations in my head, but looking at that innocent look, I think that fierce calculations were not necessary in the first place.

All of a sudden, I got nauseous and spit it out.

“But I don’t think it means much. It seems to be coming soon.”

[Huh? What are you talking about. Why did you get caught?]

“Well, first of all, there are eyewitnesses.”

Of course, it wasn’t just me and the bartenders at the bar that day.

There were a lot of guests, and many of the dogs saw me fighting the Luddites.

Like the mercenary agent Lavin Heywood, the number of rover guests I saved myself was considerable,

Above all, the final battle with Ned Rudd was so glamorous and desperate that it was inevitable to attract attention.

As long as there are eyewitnesses, they will have no choice but to get caught.

In the first place, DCPD would have interrogated eyewitnesses at the scene, but how did the lie work?

[Oh, that’s okay. Zenbu (all of them) kept their mouths shut. Agreed to say I did it.]

“Are all the customers in the store coming?”

[yes. Most of them were Ronin. It wasn’t too difficult because I had a connection with that one.]

Even if the president of Dragon is a legend in his industry, I don’t think the tough people who live with his personality and good taste would not easily listen to him.

When I narrowed my brow as if in doubt, the Dragon president drank a beer and shouted hahaha.

[Ah-Of course, there were those who objected whether it was because he had a journalist spirit who wanted to expose the truth, or was it just because of his rebellious temperament… If you refused, I was beaten up until I accepted it! Fear is imprinted on their bones, so they will have no choice but to be careful with their mouths.]

Then yes. In the end, you used force. I said, rubbing my forehead.

“Is the boss okay with the guests?”

[What is it? Outwardly not visible, thinly thin. Before coming to City Police, they cleaned up everything.

Hey, I died a lot too. In the past, I would have made them half-corpses. You dare disobey this Red Dragon’s orders? There might be a good excuse to be the Luddite gang, I guess they buried it in the ground and made excuses that the terrorists did it.]

“No, not that… no.”

I was about to say something, but I just shut my mouth.

To the former outlaw Sasha Dragon, ‘The boss must not hit the customer.’ The same moral notion could not work.

It doesn’t matter if the nasty Ronins get beaten up a few times by the owner of the tavern and they’re not going to unite and boycott it.

Come to think of it, it would be better if there was a boycott.

Aren’t we in a difficult situation these days with customers pouring in like crazy? It wouldn’t be a bad thing for me if there were fewer customers.

I nodded my head in agreement with Dragon President’s words, and then a thought suddenly came to my mind, ah. said with an exclamation.

“But there is one more witness.”

[What? who. I’m sure everyone in the room took care of it… . Are there still guests left to silence?]

The helmet’s LED face was distorted wildly, and the muscles surrounded by the gloves took a dangerous pose.

I said to the dragon boss, who looked like he was about to run away at any moment.

“uh… though it remains I don’t think that customer can close his mouth with physical force like everyone else.”

[What? There’s nothing wrong with this world, Nakamura-kun! I mean, don’t judge your own limits. It’s up to me to decide if it works or not! What the hell is it because it’s Dare (who)?]

I kindly explained to the dragon boss, who was very excited and said a lot of unfamiliar lines.

[ah… .]

“Yes?”

[Soone (Yes). I can’t keep my mouth shut.]

And as soon as I heard the answer, I became as quiet as a gentle sheep.

That was natural.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t touch a member of the highest-ranking noble family that runs a business group of the Dusk public and semi-megacorp class.

The last witness was a blonde-haired girl who was said to have escaped from the scene by Schneider’s enlisted men.

It was Alexandra Amadeus Schneider.

She even watched everything I did from start to finish.

I saw with my own two eyes that I activated the family treasures, the Obsidian Sword, Kokuyootoo, and even used it to cut through Ned Rudd’s katana at once.

So she went back to her family.

“… So, what. Do you think I’m in trouble now?”

I don’t know why there hasn’t been any news yet, but maybe Schneider’s enlisted men will come to visit me soon.

I don’t think it would be strange to open the door to the Tommy Jones restaurant and show up right now.

[No way—!]

When I saw myself scratching my head and talking about a gloomy future, the Dragon president shouted aloud.

[We can’t wait to see our precious employee Kun Nakamura being captured by an evil noble family! Where’s that Schneider bitch? Even if I attack you, I will cover your mouth!]

As I kicked off the couch and got up as if I was about to run again, Sei and I had to cling to each other to calm them down.

Why is this yangban so hot-blooded today? are you drunk?!

“No, at least it has to do with the nature of their family. All kinds of cyborgs, privates, samurai… Anyway, the security is so tight, if an outsider steps in, they will be swept away by firepower right away. What are you talking about!”

[Don’t dry it! Even though it looks like this, it is a body that has made it through the battlefield. It’s like a noble family, I’ve touched it many times!]

It’s scary because it’s not anyone else and the Dragon president is real.

While activating the suit’s combat mode, I grabbed the powered suit with my whole body and pulled it in and shouted.

“After all, he must have already told his dad! There is no point in coming in and trying to keep your mouth shut!”

unconditionally.

Schneider’s headmaster must have tried to figure out the truth, and his wife Alexandra would have confided everything she knew to her father’s interrogation.

Unlike the Dragon boss, she wouldn’t have any reason to hide my information from her father.

It sounds like the news about me has already been delivered.

It’s not just a saying, really, trying to stop it now doesn’t mean anything.

So please stop.

After all, I’m already f**ked!

* * *

At the top of Dusk City, a private property owned by the Schneider family.

The iron castle in the middle, Eisern Schloss.

There is a huge mansion built on steel.

A place created exclusively for those bearing the Schneider name.

It is a mansion, but in reality, it is a 22th-century fortress that is larger and wider than most buildings with an area of 10,000 pyeong and a height of several hundred meters.

It’s not called the ‘iron castle’ for nothing.

the center of the fortress.

There is a man looking through a window made of amorphous tempered glass that is harder than diamond.

Behind them are numerous iron man samurai kneeling in a row.

His name is Eugene Schneider.

He is the owner of the fortress called Cheolmyeongaju among the upper class of Dusk.

He opened his mouth as he watched the burning sunset between his fortresses.

“So, how about Alex?”

The eyes that say that glow blue with artificial colors.

Using optical cyberware and drone cameras to look around other sites as if they were in person.

Suha’s faithful voice was heard in his ear.

[Young-ae is now completely stable. The doctor said there was no problem.]

“I hope this incident will give you a bit of an opportunity.”

There was no answer from beyond.

This novel was posted at readwn.com

Maybe it’s because he can’t speak out about the sexuality of the young lady he serves.

Eugene Schneider, as always, spoke in a numb voice with an expressionless face.

“Have you talked to that child?”

[Yes.]

“Have you heard anything new about the incident?”

[Same as previously reported. He claims that he does not remember well, and that he only remains in his mind until he was knocked out by the terrorist chief.]

Eugene Schneider silently pulled a blunt cigar out of his pocket.

When it is pushed to the side, the iron man attendant follows it like a shadow, cuts the tip of the cigar with cutting scissors, and ignites it with a specially made match.

Then, gently shake off the attached flame and breathe in the smoke by biting it in your mouth.

after-.

Cheolmyeon Gaju spit out smoke and murmured.

“You’re still not good at lying, my daughter.”

His gaze still shines blue and is fixed in the distance.
