Chapter 221 – 14.28 Another Meeting

“How is the story… I guess you don’t have to ask if it’s done.”

Sumire seemed to have figured it out by looking at my flustered expression.

“Uh hmm. Let’s talk as we go.”

I first walked towards the elevator.
Sumire’s expression was cold when he glanced at it.

It’s a cushion of thorns.
Can’t we just run and run away?

“What… Sumire As expected. Sorry. I couldn’t keep my promise.”

Talk while walking
It’s a story that needs to be told anyway. Can’t run away

“Is that so.”

Sumire’s tone was dry.
It must be because of my mood that I can feel the thorns for some reason, right?

“By the way, I couldn’t help it? Appeasement, threats, and when I refused, they even threatened her family? When inspiration comes out that far, how can I be sharp?”
“…”

She somehow tries to excuse herself, but Sumire’s reaction is not very good.

Woohyo! It’s embarrassing!
Why am I stuck in the middle and have to suffer like this?! What did you do wrong?

“Sumire… Is it because of Arnold?”

Sumire stood on the spot.
I, who had been leading the way, turned around and faced Sumire.

“If that’s the case, don’t worry too much. Arnold, I will push you somehow.”

Without me, Arnold would have been chosen instead of me.
That’s why Sumire must have asked me to turn it down.

In fact, such a request is illegal if you look at it closely, but it’s not that you don’t know the heart. I know because I lobbied for my sister to be safely appointed to the academy.

“Honestly, I don’t think I would be able to do it properly even if I suddenly came back and commanded the unit. For the time being, I’m thinking of leaving the job to someone who suits me. And after the old man really retires, I’ll hand over my seat to Arnold, and then I’ll fall back a little bit. Huh?”

Mum. This is what I thought, but it’s a good idea.

The practical work is left to Arnold. And if I put a star on it, it will give me strength in personnel affairs, so I’m going to give Arnold the same star by pushing Arnold hard.
After that, I handed over all the responsibility to Arnold, and I slipped behind me.

This is a good sister, a good husband, a pheasant and an egg.
Isn’t that an unusually good plan?

I thought so, but Sumire’s expression wasn’t very bright.

“Arnold…”

Sumire weakly opened her mouth.

“Arnold told my father… I wanted to be recognized.”
“Father? You mean old Arashi?”

Come to think of it, Sumire’s husband is Arnold, so his father-in-law is Arashi?
Choking!

“Hmm? But admit it.”

Surprisingly, did Arnold care about that?
Well, unlike his bear-like appearance, he’s a romantic.

Come to think of it, Arnold had a lot of trouble with that from the old days.
Since his father is the head of Samjangseong, he received a lot of expectations, and on the contrary, he received a lot of envy, saying that he was treated specially compared to his ability.

Besides, Abby is such a tight-fisted soldier… Arnold couldn’t do it either.

“Sorry, but that doesn’t seem like a problem I can do anything about.”
“No… That’s just my mistake. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Yep? Saying that makes me more concerned.”
“Sorry. Forget it.”

Mmm. Is it because of my mood that the way I speak feels stiff?

I tried activating the rune a little bit, but I still couldn’t hear it because of the noise.
Apparently, Sumire had stopped within the limiting range of the jammer.

“Colonel. Excuse me here.”
“Are you going already? Would you like some tea?”
“… Sorry. I know it’s arbitrary, but I want you to pretend that nothing happened today. My story, and about Arnold.”
“Uh? Uh oh yeah, it would be nice to do that to each other. I’m sorry too.”
“Then, take a look.”

Sumire gave a firm salute and turned around.
It was still a modest move.

– Again and again.

I watched Sumire’s back until the sound of her shoes disappeared.
I didn’t mean to look at her butt. Sumire’s back looked tired for some reason, so her eyes went blank.

“… Sumire is also having a hard time being caught in the middle of her.”

There was nothing else I could say.

Since Sumire is also a staff member, she must be even busier in the future.
She was worried that she wouldn’t collapse.

“…”

When I got home, there was a package in front of me.

The contents are the general’s conquest set. One star.
It was also the perfect size for me.

“When did you prepare all of this?!”

You gave me a lot of personal information protection.
Besides, my house is also out of range, so is this…

‘You’ll know if I run away, right?’
I felt as if I had been subjected to such a threat.

I’m not going to run away anyway! Shit!

* * *

“I’m back now, Chairman.”

Late afternoon.
Shinozaki Shinobu returned to the Academy before Knives.

The place I stopped by was the academy student president’s office.
It was to report to the student council president, Kyoko Mizuki.
Chairman Mizuki greeted Shinobu with a smile.

“Good work, Shino. Are there any injuries?”
“… Yes. It’s okay.”

Sting.
Chairman Mizuki’s words made Shinobu aware of the pain.

The only thing that left her scars today was Knives, not monsters.
Shinobu felt uncomfortable throughout her monster hunt, as he ripped her hymen and forced her to cum inside her.

‘Still, that was necessary bleeding.’

Even Shinobu couldn’t deny that hunting was easy thanks to that.
I was able to catch the invisible rabbit, a rare monster, and my hunting efficiency increased several times, even dozens of times.

“I am more than happy that I am not hurt. Knives didn’t do anything stupid again, did he?”

Chairman Mizuki asked playfully while preparing tea for Shinobu.

“… Yes.”

Shinobu shook her head.
As much as he knew what the chairman thought of him, he couldn’t be honest.

“Now, tell me what happened there. Of course, about rune towers and monsters.”

Chairman Mizuki’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Chairman Mizuki, who was hungry for entertainment, liked to hear such stories.
Sending Shinobu there meant that he could not go directly to a dangerous place due to his status, so he sent Shinobu as an informant instead.

“The Rune Tower is a tower from the outside, but the inside is connected to other spaces. The sun and sky are inside the tower, and the meadow is spread out. In addition to slime-like monsters, there is also a rare monster called invisible rabbit——”

Shinobu talked about the things he saw in the tower.
The story of hunting monsters, the story of meeting famous generals, and the story that Knives seemed friendly with Inazuma among them.

Of course, the story about the relationship between men and women was omitted. Chairman Mizuki especially liked such erotic stories, but his expression darkened when it was related to Knives.

“Ha. That’s great, Knives. He is acquainted with all three castles.”
“I really hated it myself.”
“Whoops. Somehow, that’s also Knives-like.”

Seeing President Mizuki smiling happily just by talking about Knives, Shinobu felt a feeling of jealousy toward Knives.

“It’s just lonely. I’m the one who wants Shino and Knives to become close, but it seems like the two of them keep getting closer after leaving me alone like this.”
“Chairman. There is no way for me to get closer to the man over the president.”
“Whoops. Well? What about?”

Shinobu had a physical relationship with Knives, but no emotional connection.
Even if the physical relationship with him continued like this, Shinobu was convinced that he would never surpass the bond with the chairman.

“Oh! The special law that I talked about before, this time my father decided to formally bring it to the meeting.”
“Ah…”

Chairman Mizuki spoke happily, while Shinobu groaned in disbelief.

Special Act on Training Rune Holders.
It is a law that the state will step forward and implement various systems to increase the number of rune holders.

However, since it was a law to further strengthen the benefits of rune holders that were previously given, opposition from the opposition was fierce. That’s why President Mizuki was also hesitant, but it was a story that the time had finally come to draw the sword.

“It will take a few more years to actually implement it, but by then it will apply to us, right?”

In contrast to the bright smile of the chairman, Shinobu’s expression was not bright.

“… I think the law… It just doesn’t look normal.”

The nickname of the special law is the “Harem Special Act.”
There was also a clause allowing some rune holders to practice polygamy, so it was called that nickname.

Just because there are few men, how can one man have many women?
It’s no different from the animal kingdom, Shinobu thought. Besides, the value of women will fall even more than now, and it will be like giving wings to an idiot like Knives.

“Is it so? I think I’m good.”

On the other hand, President Mizuki was a rare female supporter.
The chairman said with a smile on his face.

“Because even if you get married, you don’t have to separate from Shino, right? Because I can marry a man like Shino.”

At the president’s words, Shinobu’s eyes widened.
It was something I had never thought of.

“Shino has been by my side and supported me up until now, and I hope that he will help me in the future as well. But I can’t restrain Shino forever. I hope Shino will find her own happiness someday.”

Chairman Mizuki touched the teacup as if he was lonely.

“If Shino meets another man and wants to get married, I will have no choice but to let her go. But, if she loves the same man and marries him together, then she doesn’t have to break up with Shino, right?”
“Chairman…”

Seeing President Mizuki smiling brightly from the bottom of his heart, Shinobu was at a loss for words.

The president’s words sounded like a proposal to Shinobu’s ears.

Shinobu imagined. He drew a picture of himself in a wedding dress standing side by side with the chairman in a wedding dress.

There might be an unknown man between them, but that didn’t matter. The important thing is to marry the president. And it was that he could support the chairman for the rest of his life.

“Do you hate Shino? Is she marrying the same man as me?”
“It can’t be!”

Shinobu’s answer to the president’s gloomy question was fixed.

“I will follow you forever. Chairman.”
“Really? I won’t say anything else later. Like, I don’t like the guy I picked.”

The face of the man he didn’t like came to mind for a moment, but Shinobu brushed it off.
It didn’t matter if that man was the opponent. If you are with the president.
And in that case, he could have prevented him from doing bad things to the chairman.

“… If it is a man suitable for the president, I will be happy.”
“Whoops. If it’s a man who doesn’t suit Shino, I’ll give it to you.”

Kyoko Mizuki was doing her victory pose secretly in her head.

Coma is Shinozaki Shinobu.
At this point, he wouldn’t say he didn’t like it either.

She was the one who was more nervous than anyone else about the members of the recently swollen Knives Harem. This is because compared to herself, who could not move easily due to her status, the women around Knives were actively on the offensive.

If this is the case, it is too late.
Because of her parents’ restrictions, she was unable to have physical intercourse to her heart’s content, and Kyoko Mizuki was in a more disadvantageous position in the ‘Knives Harem Race’.

That’s why she welcomed the introduction of the Harem Special Act more and even brought her best friend Shinobu Shinozaki into it.

“The question is whether he can satisfy the conditions for polygamy.”
“Ah…”

Chairman Mizuki’s words reminded Shinobu. The fact that in order to become a target of the “Special Harem Act” That allows polygamy, you have to pass through a very narrow hole.

Of course, not all male rune holders can set up a harem. The Harem Special Law was a law to increase the birth rate of rune holders, and at the same time, it was also a law to increase the morale and morale of the soldiers who were forced to sacrifice.

“As much as my mother said that she is a future general, I think she will become one someday…”

The condition is to become a soldier and raise the rank to general.
It was like a needle hole.

Speaking of greatness, except for a few cases, it can only go up when it is middle-aged or older. Of course, there wouldn’t be many people who would start a harem at that age.

And for a young man with a harem-like dream, the road to Jangseong is long and difficult. In order to achieve this before his energy wanes, he had to perform heroic activities in war and go through several death hurdles.

‘If you become a soldier and wear a general, you can set up a harem, so everyone, do your best!’
The harem special law was practically the same as a bait product.

“I don’t know if he wants to become a soldier again before becoming a general.”
“I think it will be done when this law is officially passed. For sure.”
“Indeed. Because he is that kind of man.”

If you think of his personality, you would bite the bait just by hearing the word harem. Because he is such a simple man.

Of course, it is unclear whether he will be able to rise up the ranks there.
Shinobu laughed quietly.

“I hope it will be before I become her grandmother.”
“Even if the president becomes a grandmother, I will stand by her side.”
“Whoops. I won’t be lonely waiting.”

They were two people with different dreams.
