Chapter 542 – Week of Disgrace #6

@@

“Ha…”

David Herschel sighed and asked his secretary who was walking beside him.

“Do you think I look like an old schoolboy too?”

“Yes…?”

The secretary opens her mouth slightly at the sudden noise.
Realizing he had made a mistake, Herschel corrected him.

“The old people who just stuck out their heads with a video in the conference room, discussing tabletop discussions. You’re asking me if I’m like that.”

“Ah… I don’t feel that way.”

“Okay?”

“Yes. Maybe it’s because we’ve been together for so long.”

“Right. But…”

Herschel, who had been strolling down the aisle talking to his secretary, looked around.
Agents coming and going in a peaceful atmosphere.
Hershel’s impression, which he roughly received by nodding his head at their salute, hardened slightly.

“Don’t you think the number of agents has decreased?”

“Well… Rather than a decrease, it seems more female.”

As the saying goes, most of the agents passing through the aisle were women.
Male agents can be counted on one hand.
Feeling curious about this, Hershel caught the male agent passing by just in time.

“Are the male agents having a separate meeting today?”

“Yes? What is that…”

The expression on the agent’s face became absurd after hearing the strange words that he was caught.
Herschel gave him a helpless smile and tapped the agent’s shoulder as if it were nothing.

“Nothing. Let’s go.”

“Yes… Then.”

The agent leaves with a bewildered face.
The secretary said to Hershel, who was looking at his back.

“Shall we go to the security team to find out?”

“Hmm…”

Originally, it shouldn’t be.
It’s because I couldn’t even plant the feeling that I was monitoring the agents who were already trapped and frustrated.
However, it didn’t feel good. She doesn’t think it’s strange, but it feels like it.

“We look out for them as carefully as we can, but we don’t want to give them the impression that we are prying.”

“All right.”

Trusting her senses, Herschel was still in the room when Hershel tried to find out about the anomalies at his headquarters.
Along with several brainwashed medical team members and Irene.

“It has entered a period of stability. Rest seems to have helped a lot.”

“Thank god. How is your mind?”

“No problem.”

While listening to the conversation between the medic and his brother, Grace thought she wanted to punch the medic in the face.
There’s no mental problem… I’m in a more unstable state than anyone right now, it’s absurd.

It boils over, but bear with it.
They are all subordinates of Tyrat. Should not stand up
If that happens, other sane agents will be sacrificed like last time.

I can’t even move because the corrective uniform has been put back on, so I’ll have to stay calm.
So live Not just himself, but also the innocent agents.

“Then, let’s go. If there is a problem, please call me immediately.”

“Yes.”

Irene sighed as the medics left the room after Grace’s examination.
It was a sigh of sincere relief that her sister had been broken before the situation reached its worst.

“…”

Grace is staring blankly at the ceiling.
Irene approached her and said.

“Seniors know about her sister.”

At that, Grace’s head slowly returned to her Irene.

“Seniors…?”

“The Beast Slayers at headquarters.”

“… They must be Tyrat’s subordinates.”

“Be polite. You are no longer free.”

She’s not a free body… That’s a fitting assessment for a slave.
Grace, with a self-deprecating smile, accepted her brother’s wishes.

“Yes, master’s subordinates.”

“Good job.”

She praised her sister with her bright smile, and suddenly her laughter was taken away.

“The moment my sister does nonsense, the seniors…”

Although he blurted out behind his back, what Irene was saying was clear.
It meant killing the agents with the hands of the beast slayers, who were called heroes.

No, not just the agents, but other… For example, the average citizens of each country will also be brutally killed.
At the point where two new beast slayers surrendered, there was nothing to hold back from Tyrat.

“I don’t do anything stupid…”

“That’s really fortunate… But I don’t intend to untie the corrective uniform. It will be difficult if you have an accident again.”

“You don’t have to let go. Do as you please.”

“I will.”

Half way… No, more than that, giving up makes me feel at ease.
Of course, the desire to die still remains the same, but the attitude itself to accept it is different, so it’s not bad.

I don’t think it would be bad to lie down like this all the time and live while being attended to.
She is in the position of being a prisoner and a slave, and she is like a factory that produces children in Tairat, so she can’t see the future… Looking at Irene, it seems that a certain level of autonomous behavior is guaranteed.

It seems to be a feeling of freedom given only to those who are completely aware of their position as slaves… Can they become like that if they sincerely surrender to Tyrat?
I was physically and mentally exhausted anyway, and since there was no chance of winning on Earth, I thought it would be good to give up at least one person.

The feeling of obedience rising up in my head.
Grace, who seemed to accept this, closed her eyes as Irene lay down next to her and hugged her tightly.
It was because her brother’s hands and arms were very warm.

“… I want to sleep.”

Irene spoke kindly to Grace, who unknowingly uttered a voice full of flattery.

“It’s okay.”

“Today too… Wow?”

It meant that Tyrat would come and violate him.
Irene, who accurately understood the meaning of Grace’s words, answered.

“Huh.”

“Okay…”

“Are you giving up?”

It’s not about giving up, it’s about adapting.
But isn’t that what it is? It doesn’t seem necessary to correct it.

Cheer-!

‘Ugh…’

A sudden thrill in the lower abdomen.
Grace thought that maybe this could be the anticipation of tonight’s affair with Tairat.

Come to think of it, even though it was her first relationship with him, I felt very good.
Of course, the effect of the medicine must have played a big part, but I still couldn’t wake up to the pleasure I felt for the first time in my life.

‘Under…’

Did your mindset change so much in just a few days?
Right now, until yesterday, I was anxious to kill Tyrat, but was a human being such a pitiful being?
No, maybe he just doesn’t have the qualities he has as a person.

**

Swoop.

When I enter Grace’s room, Irene immediately comes out and greets me.

“Are you here?”

She smiles with makeup on her face.
I asked with a satisfied smile at the appearance, which seemed to have no repulsion even after washing my eyes.

“What about Grace?”

“I’m waiting now.”

Following Irene’s polite guidance, I passed the front door and found Grace lying on the bed.
I was staring into space with calm eyes, and as soon as I saw that scene, the first thought came to me.

‘It’s broken.’

There is absolutely no room for me to rebel.
I was sure. Grace was in the stage of adjusting to the powerless reality and redefining her position.

I looked down at her Grace, raising one corner of her mouth, then turned her head to Irene.

“Release the restraints.”

“Yes? May I…?”

“What is your judgment? Do you think my sister will run at me?”

“Absolutely not.”

“If you do, let it go.”

“Yes…!”

Irene, with a bright smile as if pleased with the owner’s benevolence, quickly operated her device.

Self…

Then, with a somewhat creepy sound, the black gloves and boots fell off Grace’s body and disappeared as if they were scattered in the air.

“…”

Even with her limbs free, Grace lay in bed without intending to get up.
All she does is move her own fingers and toes and touch things here and there.
Other than that, there was no sign of movement.

Up until yesterday, I was venomous… But I like the changed attitude in just one day.
I guess what happened yesterday was quite a blow, right?
Well, he thought terribly of humans and became a hero.

I thought it would take about a week, but it’s faster than that.
It’s something I think about every time, but the human mind is so weak.

Swoop.

Irene, who came to my side, starts taking off her clothes.
Irene undresses her clothes with all her heart so that her owner doesn’t get intrusive, and Grace looks at her sister and her me with a subtle anticipation.

Seeing the reaction of the two, I decided that it would be okay to fight head-to-head with Rachel and Yoo Seung-hyun while removing the headquarters.

Those two probably don’t have secret weapons or hidden skills, but it doesn’t matter if they do.
6 to 2. This number cannot be overcome even after death.

It will take less than a day for the headquarters to collapse.
Now, is it important to think about how to train Rachel and how to cook Yoo Seung-hyun?

No, I don’t see any reason to worry about that.
Rachel’s fate has already been decided, and Yoo Seung-hyun and Se-hwa will take care of it.

The finish line of a long marathon is visible.
With that thought in mind, I took a seat at Grace’s bedside in a naked state, attended by Irene.
