Black Badger - Chapter 450



Only Krnovel

450. From H

“Huh.”

Lin said.

“What are you talking about? Are you upset after watching the live broadcast?”

When Hildebert didn’t answer, Lin arched an eyebrow.

He bent down and looked at the screen, scratching his head.

“You must be shocked to hear the news right away. It will calm down soon. It’s not like it’s been a while since a Black Badger died on duty.”

“… It wasn’t a death during a mission.”

“Yes. That’s why it’s even more chaotic. And besides, you guys haven’t even known each other for 3 years, right? You weren’t close with Jack Black before, right?”

“…Just let me be depressed for 15 more minutes.”

Hildebert answered in a sullen voice and fell to the floor.

Lin blinked and looked down at Hildebert, who was lying on his side and not moving.

The man, who had been looking at his boss as if he couldn’t figure out why he was digging the ground, soon shrugged his shoulders.

“You’re saying you’ll wake up in 15 minutes?”

“huh.”

“You can’t afford to be lazy any longer when you have a mountain of work to do. Since our workforce has been reduced, you need to be busy too, Manager.”

Hildebert did not respond to Lin’s words.

Lindo left the room, seemingly not expecting an answer. No matter how much he thought about it, he felt like he had paid too much for that license plate.

Next came You.

You placed her hands on her waist and looked down at Hildebert.

“It’s already happened. I’ve hurt people so much, and the only way to apologize is to go back alive, so don’t look back.”

Hildebert didn’t raise his head.

He answered with his back turned, lying down like an old sleeping bag.

“I know. Thank you.”

“… And by the way, I have been giving that minister some attention for a long time.”

You sighed.

“If you choose fame, there must be a price to pay. In fact, before the leader arrived, he had been cut off from contact with his own people. Do you remember?”

“know.”

“I’m not the type of person who wants to belong. I’m not the type of person who would feel deprived.”

“But you’ll probably feel betrayed by me.”

Hildebert muttered darkly.

“You know we became close friends quickly after I came back.”

You let out a heavy sigh.

“Then why didn’t you bring him? He would have been seen by Jack Black’s fans everywhere, and the identity of the missionary would have been revealed, and your death would have been determined to have been faked.”

“… You. Just let me dig a little bit by myself.”

“Yes, well, go ahead. You didn’t even feel sorry when you left me behind, but I completely understand why you’re feeling so sorry to a servant who wasn’t particularly close to humans before.”

Hildebert slowly pushed himself up from the ground.

He pushed his gray hair, which was falling to the side, over his shoulder and slowly turned his head.

“Sorry.”

“Is this what you call prostrating yourself and receiving a bow? That’s enough. I’ve also released all my anger by stamping a seal on your abdomen.”

“What about the core device?”

Hildebert sighed and ran his hands through his white hair.

You raised one eyebrow and then lowered it.

“Rose and Igor are checking out the factory site. It doesn’t seem like it will be too difficult.”

“What about Sukhoi and Spitfire?”

“Both sides are moving busily, but both sides have taken damage in the process of blocking the Falcon forces trying to enter the CIS headquarters. So the speed won’t be as fast as you’d like.”

“… Still, let’s try to go as fast as possible.”

There was no longer any gloom in Hildebert’s voice.

The man, who had been looking up into space with his pensive golden eyes, slowly got up from his seat.

“I started it with determination, so I have to see it through to the end.”

Hildebert massaged his right hand with his left.

At the same time, he turned his left foot back and forth and turned his body to face the bookworm.

“We have to grab Kyle’s straw too.”

“I don’t know if you’ve heard of this already.”

Youga said, exhaling slowly.

“I hope you don’t get so excited after hearing the news that you take drastic action.”

“Kyle?”

Hildebert asked back in a surprised voice.

“Kyle?”

He burst out laughing.

You widened your eyes as you watched Hildebert let out a refreshing laugh.

Hildebert, who had been laughing for a long time without paying attention to the other person’s reaction, looked at the bookworm with his eyes wide open.

“I won’t believe it for a single moment.”

He said with a smile.

“Don’t worry about that.”

Rather, he joked that he was worried that he would die at the hands of those he had hurt when he returned alive, and Hildebert walked into the house.

“Have you read it?”

Scar asked without hesitation.

The HR manager closed the door and sat down cautiously across from Scar.

“yes.”

He pulled the blue ribbon with an elegant movement.

“Just as the aide said, that kid wrote down all sorts of things before he left.”

“Individually?”

“No. There is a letter written to everyone in the official language, and then there is a postscript to Jack, but the postscript is written in a language I don’t know, so I can’t read it.”

Kairos’ head, which had been staring at the table, turned.

He met her orange eyes filled with surprise and smiled bitterly.

“Want to see it now?”

“…no.”

Kairos answered carefully.

“I will receive it at the end.”

“Can you read the common language part?”

Scar asked again.

“yes.”

Everyone sitting in the conference room straightened their posture at the HR manager’s answer.

After looking over the faces of the givers, he said:

“Is it okay for Assistant Gilbert not to be present?”

“I’m so busy right now trying to handle the situation and answer calls.”

Scar let out a tired voice.

“I will tell you later, so please read it out loud.”

The Lord didn’t ask twice anymore.

He unfolded the rolled up piece of high-quality paper and quietly read the will.

[I hope the leaders will be able to determine who can read the will.

I’m telling you this late.

I’m so sorry.

If there is biological evidence that suggests I am dead, there is a high probability that I am still alive.

I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance. There’s snow everywhere, so I thought telling you in advance would increase the chances of your plans going awry.

Because we don’t have much time to correct our broken plans.

I’m sure you’ve already lost interest in me for acting so selfishly, but I’m adding a belated, if somewhat awkward, explanation.

The bookkeeper told me not to write too much in my will… . I told him to hide it completely if he really cared about them, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that, so I’m offering my apology in the most secure way possible at this point.

I’ll be back as soon as possible.

I did not act this way because I looked down on other people.

If they had considered humans to be insignificant creatures, they would not have gone to such lengths to confront them.

Do you know this feeling?

Until we know more about it, people belonging to a group are recognized by their group name.

The tribesmen of the south. The wizards of the west. The villagers across the river… That’s it.

But as you get to know each and every person who belongs to it, the group gradually falls apart and only the individuals remain.

There are no more southern tribesmen or western wizards. There are only tribal kits and wizard Yates.

I’ve had that experience a few times.

When I first came to Earth, and when I returned to Earth… .

The rambling has become long.

Let me just say one last thing.

Take care of yourself.

Because of my selfish decisions, those of you reading this have probably been caught in the enemy’s sniper scope several times.

So please stay on high alert for the time being. It’s best to assume the worst and act accordingly. There’s no harm in being extra cautious.

For the time being, I earnestly request that you remain vigilant against human malice as well as creature malice.

Although it may be inconvenient, please burn this will as soon as it is delivered to those who need it, and re-tie the blue ribbon on the will I originally wrote.

I’ll come back and renew my real will.

thank you

Stay healthy.

Hildebert Olympus.]

“This is the end.”

As soon as the Lord finished speaking, Jonathan and Karl simultaneously slammed the table.

Ricardo took a cigarette out of his pocket and put it in his mouth with a blank expression on his face.

Ami cries as she digs into Yoon, and Yoon snorts.

Ye-Hyeon didn’t lift her face, which was buried in her hands.

Scar, who had been listening to the will with his eyes closed and his forehead resting on his fist, opened his eyes slightly.

“What does the existing will say?”

He took a lighter out of his pocket and burned the part he had read.

After clearing away the charred ashes, the personnel manager read the will that Hildebert had previously written.

“I faced life without remembering, and thanks to you, I lived happily.

I was so happy that I was filled with regret. Thank you.

“If the world permits, please be my precious companion again in the next life.”

Jonathan jumped up from his seat.

“Go to the CIS headquarters.”

“Rick. Grab it.”

Scar gave the order without raising his voice.

“And you guys, go out and calm down and come back. Things won’t work out if you keep doing this.”

A conference room that is becoming more and more Busan-like.

Yoon dragged Ye-Hyeon and Ami out, Ricardo went out to catch Jonathan who was running out of the conference room, and Karl tapped Sophia on the shoulder and stood up with his fist clenched.

Only Kairos did not move.

The personnel manager rolled up Hildebert’s original will and tied it with a blue ribbon, as requested.

Then he handed the last unburned sheet to Kairos.

“This is a letter written to you.”

Kairos accepted the paper.

The man in question read the imperial language written in neat handwriting.

A letter written in the cursive script used within the palace.

[I’m sorry. I guess I had an idea… .

I watched your match video a few days ago.

We weren’t that close in the Empire, but I often saw you flying with Noya.

The sense of liberation and joy in your eyes as you tore through the sky at that time was also captured in your eyes in the video.

I could immediately see why you had such a passionate fan base. You were as dazzling on the track as you were when you flew through the sky on your Noya.

Even though I know nothing about racing, watching the video makes me hard to believe you’re off the track.

It’s not because of that past that I left you.

However, I just thought that I couldn’t bear to see your true identity discovered and your dazzling achievements tainted for some ridiculous reason.

You’ve lived most of your life in the spotlight, and you may not even realize it, but people’s eyes are always on you.

For that reason and many other considerations, I have decided to immediately remove you from the front line.

Please understand that I didn’t just throw it away.

I know I’m being especially harsh on you. I’m really sorry.

I hope that you, who read this letter, don’t regret running the track. I really enjoyed watching you back then on video.

Stay well until I go face Kyle.

You may not even want to look at my face because of the betrayal, but I want you to come with me to confront Kyle.

I’ll be back as soon as possible. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting without any notice this time.

And I know that’s a really selfish thing to say.

If I come back and ask for forgiveness, will you forgive me?

FROM. H.]

That was the end.

Kairos remained frozen in his seat, staring down at the letter for a long time.

He didn’t move until the head of HR put a hand on his shoulder.

***

“colon!”

The magician called Kyle.

“Have you heard the news?”

Kyle, who had been leaning against the rock while holding the bear pole, turns his head.

Phew, white smoke came out of his mouth.
