The Regressor’s Notepad 251

Wind and rain (1)

Gulp, gulp. It’s still raining in an abandoned factory.

Elise looked at Nurse Eri, who was sleeping on the bed in the corner, and opened her palms without saying a word.

[You are being watched, so please follow me quietly. I will protect you.]

She intends to protect Eri. From that damn reporter, from her father, from her family and from the press.

“……election.”

The election is now less than a month away.

If this Zion Ascal incident breaks out, will it affect Petra’s re-election?

Probably not.

Zion’s family will be ruined, Petra will be re-elected, and her father will try to challenge the Round Table.

It will continue to become a bigger monster than it is now.

Elise took out the rabbit doll-cookie from her waistband and placed it on the floor.

“… … Are you watching?”

I looked at the guy and asked.

Cookie didn’t answer, but Elise urged him again.

“I’m watching you. Answer me.”

─… … .

Then Cookie raised his head askew.

─Since when did you know?

A man’s voice flowed from the voice.

It’s ‘Yael’.

My own… … . blood relative, whom I find burdensome to even call my older brother.

“I am a wizard. A wizard who is far more excellent than you think.”

To be honest, I found out relatively recently, about a month ago.

The reason I didn’t take it off was because I was curious about what this person was planning to do with it.

But Yael hadn’t done anything during that time.

“There’s no way you wouldn’t notice, right?”

─… … I’m proud.

Yael snickered. Elise glanced at him.

“I’m proud. What do you think?”

This man probably knows what I want to do. What I’m trying to do.

─I think you know better than me.

“……ha.”

Elise let out a small sigh.

“… … You’ll end up hating me?”

─Who will hate you?

“entire.”

Zion Ascal and Gen Petra.

No, the entire family of Sion Ascal and Petra.

─Your father will hate you. That’s the kind of person he is.

“… … Zion?”

Elise asked about Zion.

─Well, you’ll have to ask him yourself.

“… … .”

She held up a small envelope. Inside, she put a USB with information about how Askar’s mother died. She also enclosed the business card of the only witness, Eri.

And then I made a “delivery box”.

─What are you going to do?

“I’m going to send it to Zion.”

─Not the media?

“… … We can’t let the media hurt that child.”

Elise smiled resolutely.

If the media learns of the story of Zion’s mother and my birth, there will definitely be chaos.

Whether it’s a political opinion war to sway the election, or simple gossip to increase views, they’ll poke at Zion’s scars for whatever purpose they want.

“I will leave the choice to Zion.”

Therefore, the choice is Zion’s.

“and…….”

─… … And?

Elise put the envelope in the “delivery box.”

“Our family deserves to be punished.”

Petra is not from a good family.

My father built his family with the passion of a warrior, but he committed too many sins in the process.

You’ve hurt too many people.

In the end, Gen Petra became a monster rather than a warrior.

─A fitting… … punishment?

The day Zion’s mother died, the day he was born.

Maybe that was where it all began.

“huh.”

Elise continued softly.

“Because Zion will hate me and us.”

He should be punished as much as he hates.

For him who lost his mother to Petra, he must receive a punishment that he can accept.

Exactly-!

Elise snapped her fingers. The “delivery box” flew into the sky through the window of the abandoned factory.

─If that’s the case.

At that moment, Yael spoke confidently. Elise looked back at him.

─I have something prepared.

“……preparation?”

─Oh. I was originally going to write it, but I’ll give it to you.

Yael had a dagger. A weapon to defeat her father, who had become a complete monster at the very end.

─Let me correct that. I’ll send it to you.

… … .

Yael smiled happily as she lay on the bed in the psychiatric ward.

Actually, I’ve always been happy lately.

Because I was able to see Elise changing through the doll’s eyes.

Because I was able to watch her move away from the monster, away from her family, and gradually become a warmer person.

It was all thanks to that guy.

Zion Ascal.

Because of that, sometimes I felt annoyed and sad.

If we were a normal family.

If my father, my mother, Elise, and I were not from a family bound by nobility, but a family content with what we had.

Couldn’t we have lived more enjoyably and more happily?

Couldn’t we be happy about small accomplishments, share more honest feelings with each other, and lean on each other as we spend our time together?

─Will it be okay?

Elise asked, looking into Cookie’s eyes.

“Of course. I can do it.”

Yael encouraged him.

“You’re not a psychopath like me, nor a monster like your father.”

Yael has information. It is records from the past that have been embodied in her “Spectrum.”

That’s why my father hasn’t been able to kill me yet.

All the corruption of the Petra family was hidden and kept in magic.

Of course, if this information is relayed to Elise and the press breaks it out, Gen will move quickly.

Of course, he will find out that he is the source, and he will definitely try to kill him.

It doesn’t matter now.

The most important thing is that Elise will be completely free from them.

“You can do it.”

Yael amplified her magic connected to the cookie. Her veins turned blue and blood flowed from her eyes, but she managed to transmit the magic.

“My brother.”

… … .

A magic code flowed from Cookie’s eyes. Elise read it absentmindedly.

The “Spectrum” of blood relatives who are family but are seeing each other for the first time, where the magic power itself is digitized and fluttering.

“Ah, a laptop.”

This is not the time.

Elise quickly opened her laptop. Then, Yael’s magic code flowed into the laptop. Countless pieces of information were saved on the disk.

“this…….”

There was a lot of sin in it.

It was the sin of the family.

It was my father’s fault.

It was also his own fault.

“You. Is all this real?”

Elise looked at the cookie, but there was no answer. The magical connection was broken.

“ah…….”

She closed her laptop. Yael’s words, “Let’s fix this,” were immediately understood.

Now, we know why Yael was imprisoned there.

“… … .”

I sat there silently, looking up at the rainy sky, lost in thought for a moment.

There were many thoughts running through my head, but soon a corner of my heart became empty and seemed to fill up again.

He smiled quietly.

Tracking, tracking.

The raindrops clinging to the window were beautiful.

* * *

The thick darkness of dawn.

Quantum Mechanic – Jesco is looking at Face’s subordinates buried underground.

“… … Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Boss!”

They scream in a fit of rage. They say it wasn’t their doing, it was all Crow’s doing, with tears of blood streaming down their faces.

“If it’s a misunderstanding, why doesn’t your older brother show up?”

Jesco aimed his gun between the bastard’s eyebrows.

This is Faith’s hideout. It’s a building with 3 underground floors and 4 above-ground floors that I prepared for him because he kept whining and asking for it.

But there is no face.

He ran away.

“Please, please… … Right now, Brother, to Crow… … .”

“You were originally me, Brother Needle. Not that bastard Face.”

──!

Jesko fired his gun between the bastard’s eyebrows. The bastard’s head burst open like a watermelon. It was Jesko’s “Spectrum” that charged the bullet with magical power.

“Boss. But please calm down a little… … .”

The subordinates approached cautiously.

“subsidence?”

Jesco looked back at them and snickered.

“It’s calming. More than ever.”

When his anger reaches its peak, he cools down. Now he suspects everyone here. Is it Crow’s doing, or Face’s doing, or are they both accomplices?

“Track the Crow.”

Jesco closed his eyes for a moment.

A sandstorm rising in the darkness. Inside it are only him and Belk.

The guy still smiles at her, but soon turns away and walks away. Far away from her, somewhere unseen… … .

“… … .”

Jesco opened his eyes again. He touched the stone monument in the desert and muttered quietly.

“Now, we have to get back the money they stole.”

The desert does not forgive betrayal.

You don’t know that.

… … .

Face went to Crow’s quarters with almost all of his subordinates. Crow also confronted him with all his might.

“Hey. Glasses guy.”

Face was rude from the very beginning. Crow raised an eyebrow.

He is a guy who shows off that he is undereducated and uneducated.

“… … Face. Do you know what’s happening because of your crazy actions?”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

Face took a step forward. In an instant, his subordinates drew their weapons.

“Glasses, I know what you’re going to do. So I’ll put it on too.”

“Stop spouting nonsense-”

“Fuck! The boss is crazy. He’ll kill us both if we leave him alone.”

“… … .”

Crow bit his teeth.

As he said, Jesco is on a rampage. He is killing Face, Crow, and even his own loyalists.

“Fuck. In the desert or something, they’re killing everyone because they’re blinded by one of their hometown technicians!”

Face screamed.

“… … Where did you hide the technician?”

Yet Crow remains expressionless.

Of course, Crow himself is suspicious of Faith.

“no way…….”

Face, who doesn’t know it, suddenly becomes serious and frowns.

“You. Have you killed him already?”

Crow let out a hollow laugh.

“You must have killed him.”

“Oh, shit!”

Faith put her hand on her forehead and shook her head as if to say, “No!”

“I guess he killed them. Well, that Belkman or whatever guy didn’t listen.”

There’s no way a kid who won’t give up even 0.5% of his profits would work with someone like Crow. Crow accidentally killed him while trying to persuade him or torturing him…

The logic of the face was completed in my head.

“Listen, listen, listen, so stop acting. You killed Face-”

───!

Suddenly an explosion occurred.

Quadddd!

One side of the wall in the room collapsed cleanly, leaving a cloud of dust. Crow and Face looked around under the protection of their subordinates.

“… … There it was.”

It was Jesco.

He came in with a thump, looked around and around while massaging my neck with the pistol.

“Come here, both of you.”

He stood in the center, dragging his slippers. But no one approached him. The only noise was the gulping and swallowing sounds.

Crow said.

“… … Boss. Calm down.”

“subsidence?”

Jesco closed his eyes without realizing it.

“Really, really, really. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard that.”

“Brother! There’s a misunderstanding between us. This, this is all Crow’s doing! This bastard stole the technician, and when he refused to cooperate, he was tortured to death!”

Face glared at Crow. Jesko responded coldly.

“torture?”

“Damn, that’s crazy! Boss! Face killed it! You know Face is obsessed with proportions!”

“X! Anyway, if I earn a lot of money, it’s good for me even if the ratio stays the same!”

Face and Crow argued with each other. Did you kill the technician, or did you kill him… … The barking continued for a long time.

Jesco watched the two and nodded softly.

“… … There’s no need to talk about it.”

A deep sigh escaped Jesco’s teeth. He waved his pistol from side to side, pointing it at Face and Crow alternately.

“Both of you. I didn’t like you from the start. You know that? You fucking idiots.”

“……yes?”

“No, no, brother. The years we served you-”

“You parasitic bastards who can’t do anything without me.”

Jesco gritted his teeth. His expression distorted as he continued.

“One of them is always complaining and begging for money, not to mention being grateful, and the other guy pretends to be smart and loyal on the outside, but he creates a backdoor to embezzle money?”

Face and Crow kept their mouths shut.

“In contrast… … .”

Jesco’s words stopped. A small frown appeared in the corner of his eyes. Suddenly, a certain guy came to mind.

“Belke.”

A guy born in the same hometown in the same desert, but met again in a faraway land.

He was truthful from the beginning.

There was not a single lie, and he was ready to walk with her fate.

So, that guy… … .

“He was worth more than all of you rotten pieces of garbage put together.”

Jesco raised his pistol, his voice like blood.

───!

A roar of magical power rang out.

The bullet was fired.

It was the beginning of a fight.
