Volume III Kuroshio 123 Omens
Willy: You've been pretty busy lately, Mistress Bill.
-Well?
Willy: Maybe the king isn't as busy as you are every day.
Stephen: I'll call you Cell-sama from now on.
- I really thank you for your canonization, Your Majesty Stephen.
Gatsby: The only thing he can rule is the pillow on his bed, especially when he needs to pout his ass.
MULLER: I heard yesterday that it's not been very quiet out there lately.
- Any news?
MULLER: It is said that the workers are going to hold demonstrations.
Wiley: I really need to give some color to those in power.
-Hum...... Come on, I suggest that you calm down, and it's better to do less demonstrations.
Gatsby: Calm is for you grown-ups, fools. We poor people have calmed down for thousands of years, and then what? Our calmness reaps more serious oppression, and the calmness you mean is trying to find a way to continue to play with our means.
Muller: Hmph......
- You have to believe in the king, this king is different from the past.
Gatsby: Come on, every king is the same. They were the ones who lived in the palace, and we lived in a house with a leaky wind. They are the ones who wear the best clothes, and the ones we wear that can block the tits and lower body are considered good clothes. They ate the best, and we ate like pigs. They are the ones who don't have to work, and it's us who struggle to survive every day.
Stephen: When there is no war, they are the ones who enjoy, and when there is a war, we are the first to die.
Gatsby: They are the ones who escaped, and we are the ones who stay and die.
-Scold......
Mueller: I've heard that there seems to be an investigation going on outside the masonry fraternity right now, and it's said that there's serious corruption within them.
- Is there any evidence?
Mueller: There was corruption before the war and after the formation of the Masonry Brotherhood.
- This is the way to split and disassemble them.
Müller: And it is said that the leader of the Masonry Brotherhood had a younger brother who was a great embezzler while he was alive, and it is said that the amount of money that had been misappropriated in order to curry favor with some of the great nobles was outrageous.
- Who do you listen to?
Müller: Now that there are rumors like this out there, isn't it spreading quickly?
- This is a means of stinking them and dividing them.
Mueller: Maybe. But the people don't care if it's the truth or not.
- Are there contradictions within them now?
Muller: I don't know, but since these rumors have come out, there must be a lot of people involved, some people want to calm things down, some people want to take advantage of the situation to stir up trouble, and some people want to make some profits. But I believe it won't be groundless, it must have happened before, big or small, but there has to be. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a big fluctuation.
- What else do you know?
Müller: If there really is a fight within the Masonry Brotherhood, maybe it's the king, maybe it's what some people like to see.
- What about the money owed?
- Müller: Do you need to talk about this? The money owed must not have been settled yet, or it wouldn't have been like this. Ordinary people are the easiest to be comfortable, as long as they get what they want, they are relatively easy to satisfy.
Willy: This riot is inevitable.
-What did you say?
Wiley: I said it wrong, sorry, slip of the tongue. However, it is inevitable that this kind of thing will eventually turn into a bloody conflict, which is a blasphemy and insult to the king, a contempt and violation of the royal power, and even if the king does not say anything, someone will definitely jump out below. So...... Now for that...... The future is not optimistic.
- Don't gloat here.
Willy: Schadenfreude? Ha, of course, I can be locked up here, why am I unlucky? Are you happy that you're locked up here?
Gatsby: He's a man who eats the king's food, the king's side.
Stephen: yes, yes, the King's personal guard was imprisoned.
Gatsby: Went to jail for no reason.
Stephen: Went to jail without a reason.
Mueller: You two have itchy skin?
-Hum......
Muller: You stay here honestly and watch the show, the outside has nothing to do with you, and after a while you go out, if the outside world has anything to do with you, I wish you peace.
Willy: It is said that there was a man in the palace who looked like Edwin's brother.
Mueller: The one who died?
Willy: yes, haven't you heard of that?
Gatsby: That's big news, and there's anything like that?
Wiley: Edwin's own brother was assassinated, more than 20 years ago, and it is said that he embezzled a very, very large amount of money.
Müller: You know that?
Willy: Who doesn't know that? Mistress Bill, do you know about this?
-Belch......
Willy: It is said that he had a crush on the daughter of a certain duke, but the status was so different that the guy didn't know how to take it down to the young lady. After that, the two made a private agreement for life.
Willy: But it was discovered later, but it was forcibly dismantled. Then the guy had an accident, and it was said that there was a problem with the accounts because of a certain project.
Gatsby: Corruption! It's definitely embezzlement.
Stephen: If you have the right, you don't have it! This bastard is corrupt!
Willy: I don't know...... Anyway, there was a problem with the accounts, and then he was assassinated, but the matter was covered up. It only recently came out.
- How do you know?
Wiley: Are there fewer people who have been caught lately? This prison is going to be overcrowded...... Ah, you've been busy lately, you don't know. Didn't you go out too? Can't you see?
Gatsby: It seems that there are a lot of problems in the Brotherhood.
Mueller: Is this news true or false?
Stephen: I think it's real.
Willy: Really...... What does it matter? Right, Lord Bill.
