My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

I realize that I’m getting older in such an insignificant place, but I don’t have time to be shocked by that fact.

Cody, who saw Erica off, immediately took action.

First, contact the man who was the captain of the expeditionary force. However, I am worried that I do not have many acquaintances with the man who is the company commander.

So Cody noticed Walsh, who is a friend of his own, even though he has a hierarchical relationship, and who has acquaintance with the company commander’s man, Finnegan, and holds the same position as the company commander. Is. I decided to ask him for help.

That wish is nothing special. I just want Finnegan to be invited to the tavern, which is also Cody’s favorite tonight.

Walsh was skeptical about the conditions, but he agreed without deep scrutiny that Cody would pay the bar in full. Perhaps there is also trust in Cody’s personality.

Cody, who made a promise for the time being, tried to wait with his feet, but was stopped before that.

“This, Cody Squad Commander …”

Robinson, Sid, and Irene stopped. Unusual for those who are always lively, the face seems to be full of thought.

I guessed it, but I dared to ask.

“Hmm? What did you do?”

“… Is it true that Harold is executed?”

>

Sid said so terrifyingly. Cody affirms it.

“It looks like that”

“…!”

Three people Take a breath.

Although they were in the same unit for a short time, they may have various thoughts. If Harold was only charged with execution, they may have voiced their opposition.

But the three have seen it. The appearance of Harold, who was full of wounds and raised the Empire’s Major General to blood sacrifice, and the ruthless eyes he was facing at that time.

Soma, who had only pure murderous intent, which even Cody had hardly seen. It is unavoidable to be scared by that.

Especially for Robinsons who have little experience in combat.

“… I don’t want Harold to die, but I can’t forget the scene of that day …”

” He wasn’t the Harold we knew at that time … “

” Squad leader, who is the real Harold? “

I’m wondering how to deal with Harold.

The usual Harold and the Harold in the Bertis Forest. It’s understandable to see the two and get confused.

“I don’t know that”

But that was Cody’s reply.

The answer was so thrown away that even the three couldn’t follow the second phrase and could only open their eyes.

Cody keeps saying to them.

“It’s not like you can guess what kind of person Harold is for a few months. Isn’t that flimsy?”

There is no body or lid, and it’s a sloppy statement.

But his eyes were serious.

“Then you have to judge from what you see and feel. If I tell you to give up Harold’s life, can you convince the execution? Help me? Even if you are told to help me and the sparks fall on you, can you keep that intention until the end? “

Whether you give up or oppose it here, It’s time to regret it if you decide because of the influence of people’s words.

Above all, Robinsons are knights. You must have the justice that you persevere.

“What do you guys do? The criterion is not whether you believe in Harold, but whether you can believe in yourself. Don’t forget that ~”

Cody left while Robinson and his friends couldn’t say anything.

Now is a true word. And it was his kindness to prevent the involvement of unprepared people.

I’m not sure if it will be transmitted.

Well, that’s okay, Cody switches his mind. There are a lot of things you have to do.

Cody, who broke up with Robinsons, headed for his favorite bar, which Walsh and his friends would visit. Ask the shopkeeper there for some cooperation.

It’s not particularly difficult. I just want you to take the opportunity to have a drink. Of course, it is not poison or deleterious substances that you are trying to drink.

A mild confession drug that does not have any adverse effects on the body. Originally, it has little effect, but the aim is that if you put medicine in a drunken place, it will spit out some information.

However, the owner did not easily shake his head, even though he was asked by his familiar Cody. It is natural to say that the content is full of suspicion, but Cody is forced to push it out because it is a top secret internal investigation.

After all, the owner who was rolled up in Cody’s mouth Haccho broke.

After that, while pretending to be a patrol in the city, a person who participated in Harold’s deliberation by visiting a person who is familiar with rumors in the royal capital and a person who has an information network. I asked him to send me information because anything was fine, such as whether something unusual happened around me or who I met.

The sun goes down while doing so.

After returning to the barracks, Cody took off his eye-catching armor, dressed in simple clothes that fit the city, and visited the bar again. Sit in a suitable seat and wait for Walsh and his friends to arrive.

Then, within 30 minutes, the waiters appeared. When the eyes met for a moment, Walsh guided Finnegan and Cody to sit back to back.

Now you can hear the content of the conversation.

I listen to it, but at first, the conversation continues.

It’s been a while since we both came to drink. Recently, it is laid on the buttocks of the bride. Haven’t you made children yet? Why don’t you get married quickly, and so on.

However, the pace of sake is fast in inverse proportion to the calm air. Maybe I’m getting angry on a daily basis.

By the time one hour had passed since the start, Finnegan had become suspicious of Lu Ritsu.

I think it’s about time, Cody takes Walsh away from his seat and takes him to the counter with a hand sign. Therefore, I listen to the shop owner as well.

“He’s getting drunk with a good feeling, so I’ll start the operation.”

“Wait. What is the operation?

Walsh, who was only asked to invite Finnegan to drink at this restaurant, quickly caught his mouth. The lack of explanation is also enormous.

“Well, it’s not that difficult. I just want him to ask a question-after giving him a drink.”

To the ale that the shopkeeper put on the counter, Cody opens the paper wrap taken out of his pocket and drops the powder.

The white powder melts without sound.

Walsh seems to understand what it is.

“Hey, that’s …”

“Can you drink this without saying anything now? Thank you for paying people. “

” Do it “

I will tell you the early closing of the store.

Sales will be affected, but I was asked to take care of this by bringing in colleagues and subordinates at a later date.

“What are you trying to find out so far?”

“Now my subordinates are fired after a mysterious decision. I’m about to be killed. I want the people involved in the deliberation to tell me the truth. “

I can’t overturn it. “

” I know a hundred. It’s just a bad foot scraper. “

If this doesn’t work, Erica You’ll also have to consider putting half the joke suggestions into action.

Cody’s willingness to help Harold by any means is so strong. Perhaps Walsh felt it, he didn’t persuade him to stop.

“There is also the probability of an oversized annoyance. If you overlook this place, can I pull it?”

” Hmm … I should just keep my head stuck in silence. Should I ask about the deliberation? “

” No, what you should have is a friend. ”

“Would you like to go home?”

“Hey, you’re kidding!”

If you cooperate, it’s better than that. Tell Walsh what you want him to hear.

During such an exchange, there were only four Cody in the store. Finnegan, who is quite drunk, does not seem to be aware of such surroundings, and is tilting the glass a little.

I’m ready to explore.

Walsh receives the ale mixed with the drug and puts it in front of Finnegan.

“Look”

“… Thank you”

Finnegan works slowly When I turned my gaze to Yale, I uttered without doubt. It shook about one-third at a stretch.

Then Walsh asks when the drug starts to work.

“No, it was hard during this time”

“… hard?”

“You were the commander on the expedition? No way that would happen”

“That’s it …”

Terrible Mutter like a disappointment. You probably don’t want to remember what happened in the Bertis Forest, where many casualties occurred.

That’s why I have a heavy mouth, but now that I have drunkenness and medicine, my biggest chance is.

“No, it seems that a recruit is going to be sentenced to death for treason, but what did he do?”

“I actually saw it. Not that, but in the report, he fled in front of the enemy for violating the order to his superior. He was suspected of being a spy because he wore the military uniform of the empire. “

” Hmm. It’s not uncommon for a recruit to flee in front of an enemy against the enemy, but I’m not suspicious of being a spy. That’s why it’s almost certain that he’ll be sentenced to death. ”

Finnegan scratches his head while stagnating. The effect of the medicine or its eyes were gradually becoming empty.

“I didn’t decide … but he said Harold was dangerous, so I had to kill him, otherwise my wife would have Cynthia’s life. 鈥︹€?鈥?/p>

It’s not just sickness.

Finnegan’s tone changes to something unconscious.

“Who was told? What’s the danger? Doesn’t it have anything to do with your wife?”

” … Oh, it doesn’t matter … but it’s still no good. Harold isn’t alive. The reason I can’t resist is that I’m about to have a baby … So, for Harold … “

The appearance of Finnegan is getting stranger and stranger. The words are also incoherent, giving off a strange atmosphere.

Did the drug work too well? When I was wondering so, Finnegan suddenly stood up. With that momentum, the chair he was sitting on collapses backwards.

And–

“… Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh !!”

A strange voice. Finnegan rushes out, raising a voice that can only be described as such. Then he ran up to the pillar in the store, grabbed the thick log with both hands, and hit his head.

Do your best while making a strange voice. Blood begins to flow from Finnegan’s forehead when he hits it again and again.

Cody and Walsh finally returned to me and stopped the sudden assault.

“A little …!”

“What are you doing!”

Pull both sides to stop self-harm. Still, Finnegan swings his head violently from side to side while continuing to make strange voices.

Cody, Walsh, and Finnegan, who were overwhelmed by two strong men, continued to resist for more than five minutes.

However, the resistance stops suddenly. I suddenly lost consciousness.

Turn your weakened body on your back and hurry to check your breathing and pulse.

“… Are you alive?”

Huh, there are three big sighs.

In order to treat him for the time being, Cody instructs the shop owner to fetch the cloth and bandages that are in the shop. No one can use healing magic here.

Anyway, today’s hearing would be impossible. The injury itself looks like a minor injury, but I don’t know what’s inside my head, so it’s better to stay in the hospital for a few days.

The shopkeeper disappears and silence comes for a while. Walsh opened his mouth as if he couldn’t stand it.

“What was it now?”

“… I don’t know. I don’t think I can do it. “

The medicine given to Finnegan has no hallucinations or confusion. It should be a real man even if I drink it with sake.

“The Finnegan wasn’t normal by any means …”

“That’s right. It was like “I’m possessed”.

The devil. It’s a frank opinion of what Finnegan showed earlier.

However, Cody felt a creepy thing in his words that he casually said.
