Chapter 33: Two in the Dark
When Yuki Tatsumi woke up, it was already night. The smell of inferior disinfectant came from the nasal cavity.
Hospitals?
No. If it were a hospital, the smell of disinfectant water would not be so strange.
I guess I didn't just pour disinfectant on the empty room of the support department and make it a temporary medical room, right? What a smart choice. If I had to be sent to Ursla Medical University for systematic treatment, I am afraid that I would have died due to the bumps on the road.
You gently turned his neck, just such a small movement made him dizzy for a while, and he lost so much blood that he could barely move now.
In fact, he was able to wake up that night, which was already a very appalling recovery rate.
The body doesn't feel much, as if the body is no longer its own, but that's fine, at least it doesn't feel pain. It's pretty good, too.
Yu's movements alarmed the caretaker next to him, and he leaned over and let his long red hair sweep across You's face.
"Yo, Sleeping Beauty, are you awake?"
"I wish it was Ellie or Lixia......"
You honestly and badly expressed his opinion. As he expected, Randy's somewhat beaten face was suddenly full of vitality, and he said awkwardly while showing an unhappy expression, "Yes, yes, I woke up and saw that I was a stinky man, and I was really sorry, then I'll go back - with preserved eggs and lean porridge." β
Randy said, getting up and pretending to leave, and then secretly turned his head sideways to see Yu's reaction.
"Ah, wait."
"Oh? Finally understand how good Brother Randy is! β
"It doesn't matter if you leave, help me call Rui down and let her serve me to eat."
"Hey! What an enviable treatment you have! β
Randy pressed his head over in displeasure. The mature face vaguely smells of cologne.
ββ¦β¦ This time it's a real problem. β
You was silent for a moment, and suddenly began to apologize. This honest reaction made Randy not react, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Forget it, let's eat first. You're really in trouble this time - Rui has been crying for a long time. β
Randy said, bringing the porridge from the bedside table and handing it a spoonful.
Because I did it a long time ago, it's cold now.
The porridge with a slight heat is slimy, with a salty taste of preserved eggs and lean meat, and to be honest, unpalatable...... However, You still ate it one bite at a time.
The body's resilience is directly linked to physical strength. Eating is the best way to recover your strength. After eating a whole bowl, You felt a little more comfortable.
"What time is it?"
"Early in the morning...... Uh, half past two. In half an hour, it's time for the shift change - the next one is Noelle! β
Randy said with some urgency.
"Really......"
"Hey, let's talk about it, why are you with Noelle, uh-huh~~?"
Randy's gossip was up, and he didn't care if You was a patient, so he simply sat on the edge of the bed, looking like he was talking at night.
"Because you like it?"
"You know I'm not asking that."
Randy's expression didn't change, he was still hippie and smiling, but Yu-Tatsumi read a certain irrefutable seriousness in his smile.
We're one kind, you can tell me.
Randy's face was covered in the words.
"I don't know. When I reacted, I said it. β
Lobbying, smiling wryly, added: "Before, when I didn't know what self-awareness was, I met a girl who felt good. β
As soon as he talked about the "past" and "love topics", Randy suddenly became energetic and urged: "What kind of girl?!" β
"Hmm...... I have to say it...... Schoolgirl? Since I lived in the Luan area, I received two years of education as a transfer student at Janis Royal College. But I still have a partisan job, so I can only count it as a year. β
"Oh oh, to the point, to the point, very cute girl, right?"
Randy's emotions grew more and more agitated.
"Hmm. She looks very cute, has a sweet voice, and has a nice family. You don't just hit her doctrine, be careful of being wanted by Liber. β
"Wow, do you want that?"
"Her grandmother is the current Queen of Libel. See for yourself. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Liber's princess?! β
"Say what. It is the next Queen. That is, the princess. β
You said something that made Randy's heart jump with a calm face.
"Oh my God, you've been in a relationship with that kind of big guy?"
"Nope. Although it feels good, I'm not the type to get myself in trouble. What was I doing, you know? β
Randy was speechless for a moment, silent for a moment, and then replied bluntly, "I know." β
I estimate the entrance age of the tour, the event that happened at that time...... It's the mad killer named Wind. Committed crimes in various countries, and specialized in killing killers of famous businessmen and political dignitaries.
The killer who specializes in killing political dignitaries has become a couple with the granddaughter of the top political leader of a country, and it is almost a killer-level joke to say it - just hearing the news will make you die of laughter, right?
"You knowβyour words will surely understand me: what I was thinking."
"Huh...... How could you not know? β
Randy smiled more ugly than crying.
Yes, he understood.
He is similar to You, both of whom were born in a dark and bloody world. Moreover, he has done something similar. Hide your dark identity and pretend to be harmless to humans and animals...... Joining the garrison to mess around, skipping shifts all day long, drinking, gambling and talking, knowing that some people regard themselves as friends, and knowing that some people have a good impression of themselves, but, in order not to hurt them, not to involve them in their chaotic lives, and not to let them see this bloody hell, Randy deliberately kept his distance from everyone.
Randy knows this mood best. Swim, presumably the same.
It is impossible for him to be unaware of the attitude of the people around him to his sensitivity, but he will never interfere or change other people's worlds. Not even willing to get involved.
He didn't have a relationship with that schoolgirl, probably because of this.
"I really asked a stupid question."
"No, it doesn't matter what the process is, I'll just say the result. At a meeting before leaving Liber, I was reprimanded by my younger sister. And then, that's what she told me. β
"Huh?"
"When you meet someone you like again, you have to say it clearly! If my predecessors had said it honestly, they might be the regent now! β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ What kind of bastard story do you show me with a happy face! When he watched Yu-Tatsumi smile happily in the midst of his memories, Randy suddenly became angry. What the hell, this guy, it's my fault? Is it bad for me to be single! Why tell such an enviable story in front of an older single young man!
So, I gave it a try. She's a princess, and she's probably more correct than me, a lowly assassin. So, I confessed to her. β
"Cut ......"
Randy turned his head away in dissatisfaction, and wanted to beat him up to vent his hatred.
"Cut ......"
I always felt the subtle echoes that seemed to come from the space......
"Now, Randy...... It's called Mireyu, right? β
βοΌοΌ - You, what are you talking about? β
Hearing the name, Randy instantly wavered.
"Once in a while, try to ignore your identity, how about a drink with her?"
"Ah...... If only it could be done. β
Randy said, smiling bitterly. Who can say this kind of thing clearly?
People who can treat feelings rationally are destined to get no feelings, because they are too rational.
You and Randy are very similar, the two were born in the dark world, have a certain combat power, are not naΓ―ve, and are ruthless. This decisive determination is what the Support Section is currently lacking. Lloyd was too kind and naΓ―ve, and without the help of someone who understood the darkness and was proficient in killing, he would soon die in his righteousness.
But Yu and Randy are different. Randy becomes confused and flees the battlefield because he has figured it out. Yu met Estelle and was taught how to get along with people, but is still active in the killer world. Unlike Randy, Yuki Tatsumi doesn't know any other way of life. It's not so much that he's a member of the [Dark World], but that he's still a [slave]......
Moreover, You knows that her life is almost over.
"Randy, if one day I die, can you replace me as a pillar for Lloyd?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Stop talking stupid. β
Randy turned his back from him.
"I'm serious."
"It feels worse."
"Can you promise me?"
"Cut, how could you agree. I'm not good at thinking, I can't see through other people's plans or anything, no one but you can do it. I won't let you support the department right away. β
Randy said something he didn't even believe.
Of course he understood, he knew it when he gave You temporary care. This person's body has long come to an end. His muscles are very explosive, but his muscles and his bones can't handle them, which is very strange.
His body is hopeless.
"Ahh I understand. So, help me remove the bandage. Wet and numb, help me get a new one. β
Lobbying, wanting to do it, Randy hurried to help him, for fear that his fragile body would exceed its limits because of this action.
"Gada"
The door was slammed open.
A pink-brown haired teenage girl in a tank top and shorts stands in the doorway.
"I'll change the bandages. It's time for a shift change, Randy. β
