#386. don’t ask

“Did you recognize it?”

A basement with heavy air.

There were no outlets, let alone phones or lights.

In the space where only the light of a lamp placed on a rugged table illuminates the surroundings, they waited with bated breath for an answer.

“It has been confirmed to be true.”

A visibly agitated air.

“at las…!”

“Are you sure it’s not a rumor this time?”

“I’d rather be fortunate if it’s a rumor, but what if it’s a trap?”

“I can’t believe it either. No matter how you think about it, it’s a very suspicious story.”

this to expect.

doubt this.

worried about this

afraid of this, etc.

Central heating from one to ten.

The cellar quickly turned into a crucible of noise and chaos as everyone in the room chatted about their thoughts.

match!

“Everybody focus.”

What calmed the confusion was a heavy voice.

The man with the shaggy beard who first brought up the question to those who noticed him said with a serious face.

“I will proceed with the premise that the information is true.”

“Sir, if this is also false information about okrana, then a hasty move will only result in wasted sacrifices.”

“I know too.”

“Then…”

“But even if there is some danger, we must not panic and stop. Because that is what they want.”

The words of the bearded man who was called teacher did not convince everyone.

Some of them still couldn’t hide their uneasiness.

But at least it was able to quell the objections of the majority and bring out the passion in the eyes of a few.

“Then what do you plan to do?”

“Can’t we get some help from our brothers inside?”

“It won’t be easy, though. Many brothers have already been caught, and the KGB and Okrana are turning on the lights.”

“Is that so…”

The teacher, who hadn’t had high expectations from the beginning, was not disappointed.

He spoke after a brief silence.

“Then I can’t help it. We have no choice but to prove our will through actions, not words.”

“Are you okay?”

“Even if it’s not okay, I have no choice but to do it. We may never have a second chance at true liberation.”

All of them put on a sad expression at the teacher’s words, which were more weighty because they were calm.

because everyone knew

Also, they don’t have enough time.

Even if you hold your breath longer, it won’t change the fact that you will be killed by a dog.

“Still, don’t give up hope. The mere fact that an opportunity came in this desperate situation would be proof that the savior did not abandon us.”

“…It’s as you say.”

“The Savior shall save us.”

“??? ?????? ???????.”

“??? ?????? ???????.”

Did you really believe that?

Or was it because there was no other hope?

As if the appearance of Jung-gu Heating from a while ago was a lie, they joined hands and made up their minds.

This unity was the source of their ability to endure even in the long despair.

In this way, in the coldest country in the world, aspirations that are hotter than any flame were quietly starting to burn.

“Hmm.”

Take a moment to close your eyes.

Limon casually asked Yuna-gyeong, who was sitting on top of a wooden box with a hopeless expression on her face.

“Blue.”

[…Why are you calling me?]

“Didn’t you say that the last time you would accompany me on my trip?”

[That’s right.]

Yuna-kyung blankly affirmed.

Of course, it was a lot of hard work in Africa.

After that, I was going to lie around for at least a month as I worked hard to help Sir with his research.

Knowing that fact, Limon tilted his head.

“Then why did you volunteer to accompany us on this trip?”

[Iknow, right. Why?]

“…why are you asking me that?”

[Because I don’t know why I’m following the team leader.]

“…”

Hearing the answer that someone with amnesia would give, Limon was dumbfounded.

But Yuna-kyung was sincere.

It was a common occurrence that I went to see Li Ching-yu after receiving an offer to just have some refreshments.

And while eating snacks, he moderately agreed with the words of concern for Limon, and only shrugged a little at the words of praise for his performance last time…

For some reason.

Before he knew it, his companion had been decided.

It wasn’t even Li Qing-wi’s request, it was Yun Na-gyeong herself who took the lead in boasting.

‘Why did I…?’

For Yuna-gyeong, who was determined not to fall for her words again, she felt like she was possessed by the unemployed type.

But what can I do?

I can’t tell Li Qingyu, who smiles brightly, that I’ve changed my mind.

Yuna-kyung had no choice but to drag her wings and accompany Limon and Ainsha to the Russian Khanate.

It was Ainsha who was standing next to her with an expressionless face who comforted her, who was depressed because of that.

“I am relieved. When dealing with Li Qingyu, that is a common occurrence.”

[Really?]

“Yes. I almost blew up my share of Tiamat once. Compared to that time, I don’t care about medicine.”

“…Isn’t that something you, the foolish princess, should pay more attention to?”

“it’s okay. I gave Li Qingyu only the money worth the stake and passed on.”

[Doesn’t that mean you were ripped off after all…?]

“It’s not a scam. It is a worthy investment for world peace. Above all, I kept my stake, so this is my victory.”

“…”

In the end, it’s the conclusion that astronomical money was ripped off.

Rather, it seems that it is a great thing to keep the stake against the lee ching-wi.

Looking at Ainsha who was elated with an expressionless face, Limon made a subtle expression and Yuna-kyung muttered involuntarily.

[How to say…. I know I shouldn’t be like this, but I’m sincerely comforted.]

“It’s nothing. Never mind.”

Other people’s misfortune is your own happiness.

Compared to Ainsha, Yuna-kyung is relieved to realize that what she has suffered is not a big deal.

And even Ainsha, who took those words as pure praise and stretched out her meager heart even more.

Seeing the combination of a baby bird with plenty of worldly grime and an innocent girl unbecoming a princess of the Seven Dragons, Limon puts on a more confident expression.

Yuna-kyung tilted her head.

[By the way, is your outfit a bit unusual today?]

“We are going to the Russian Khanate. That’s why the captain also reassured me.”

[…I guess that’s more like a disguise than a leader?]

Yuna-kyung scratched her head.

The white dragon clan’s unique sky-blue outfit was still the same.

The problem is that the cloth wrapped around the body has more than doubled.

In particular, it was to the point that I couldn’t even see my face because I was wearing a veil that covered the bottom of my nose in addition to the cloth that was originally worn over my head.

Limon, on the other hand, calmly accepted her outfit.

“Because a place is a place.”

“That’s right. When I see your face there, I get tired. It is better to cover it up.”

[Uh, white sister is that popular in the Russian Khanate?]

“What do you mean by popular? There must be many.”

“I don’t like popularity like that….”

[…?]

Looking at Ainsha with her shoulders drooping, Yuna-kyung tilted her head.

Of course, Ainshaya. Ga-hee, who is even called ‘singing pure white’.

With a thick fan base all over the world, there was nothing strange about hiding one’s face.

As much as I had often seen Ainsha, who usually showed her face openly, the current attitude of being wrapped up just seemed strange.

When Yun Na-kyung just opened her beak to ask the reason in detail.

A quiet noise was heard.

wii yi.

“Now you are coming.”

“It’s too late. It was better to go to Lee’s teleportation.”

“But you can’t refuse to send transportation to the yard you’re officially visiting, can you?”

“it’s okay. There is Lee on this side. Even if we fight, we win.”

“I’m willing to put up with the determination to wage an all-out war with the silver dragon clan just to decline transportation.”

I was confused for a moment wondering what to say.

After belatedly discovering a small flying object that appeared across the sky, Yuna-kyung nodded.

[Does that look like the silver dragon clan’s meeting?]

“I think so. They said they would send an SDW X-21 for transportation.”

[…Wasn’t the princess’ sister’s aircraft the X-17? But why is that 21?]

“What are you asking out of the blue? You must know that the relationship between the Seven Dragons is not good enough to give their latest model to a princess of another clan.”

[Still, there is a degree. Where do you go from 18 to 20 in the middle?]

“That means technology is developing so fast.”

Limon shrugged.

The Silver Dragon Clan is the master of Bahamut Corporation.

At least in terms of technology, they were the ones who reached the pinnacle of mankind.

…Although it also meant that there were many skills secretly stored away by other clans.

In any case, Yuna-kyung agreed with Limon’s explanation and murmured while looking at the smaller vertical take-off and landing aircraft that looked much more nimble than Li Qing-yu’s private plane.

[By the way, no matter how up-to-date, wouldn’t it be possible to ride all of them in one machine? It’s not just one or two people.]

“That would be the case if there was only one.”

[Yes?]

Ainsha and Limon.

Municipal Tata in the back.

Even the Shinryongdae, which is quietly guarding its place.

When Yuna-kyung, who was worried about the number of people over thirty, tilted her head at Limon’s words.

A quiet reverberation overlapped, and another dot appeared on the other side of the void.

Weiying.

Two, five, ten, twenty…

Eventually, seeing dozens of aircraft filling the sky, Yuna-kyung opened her beak.

As I heard from Li Qingyu before, the SDW X series is the newest plane that can chew up even a tolerable fighter squadron.

Even the princesses of the Seven Dragons had their own private jets, one by one, and that was only a spherical object.

However, it was amazing to see such vertical take-off and landing planes filling the sky in battalion units.

On the other hand, Limon frowned and Ainsha hid herself behind Limon while her eyes were shining transparently.

through superhuman senses.

Or use foresight.

It was because I realized why so much aviation power was mobilized.

Chi Shuung.

While Yuna-kyung was so mesmerized, the vertical take-off and landing planes landed on the runway one after another.

The entrance to one of them opens.

The moment a silver flash came out.

“Ainsha Lee unnie personally came to meet me! Haven’t your breasts grown a lot in the meantime? Let’s touch it…!”

Whoop thump!

“Queuck???”

Someone fell down majestically, making a sound like a crumpled frog.

After ejecting from a vertical take-off and landing plane.

The girl who had rushed towards Ainsha at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye was caught in Limon’s arm, which extended like lightning, and fell backwards.

Did you hit the back of the head properly?

Even cracks like spider webs appeared on the ground of the runway.

The culprit, who actually hit his head like that, raised his body as if bouncing and argued.

“Why are you interfering!? I don’t know if it’s polite to take a step back in a thrilling reunion scene between sisters!”

“Which country’s greeting method is trying to massage someone’s chest as soon as you meet them?”

“A greeting law that will soon be created in Korea! If you violate it, I will add a clause that says the death penalty!”

“…Are you saying that you know that I have to say hello to you by rubbing your breasts like that?”

“Okay, rub my breasts as much as you like! Instead, I will also massage Ainsha’s breasts. Isn’t that fair?”

“You talk in your sleep, you crazy princess.”

“Why not!?”

It took me a long time to blink as I saw the silver-haired girl rushing forward with her arms waving, and Limon making an annoyed expression as he pushed her forehead with one hand.

Yuna-kyung asked shyly.

[Who is that older sister?]

“I want to know if you ask because you don’t know that.”

[Are you the older sister I need to know?]

Ainsha looked at Yuna-kyung, who was confused, expressionlessly, and said bluntly.

“This is Yekatrice.”

[If you’re Catherine… Are you the Silver Dragon Princess? The Great Khan of the Russian Khanate?]

“That’s right.”

In response to Ainsha’s consent, Yuna-kyung flicked her beak.

It was the first time I had seen her because of the characteristics of the Russian Khanate, and I hadn’t been able to see the Seven Dragon Branches the other day.

However, the reason Yuna-kyung was dumbfounded was not because the Silver Dragon Princess was such a deviant… Seong-hee… insane…

…anyway, it wasn’t because she was a sleazy girl.

purely her appearance.

It was precisely because of the face.

[But why does the silver dragon princess sister look the same as the white sister?]

Long braided silver hair.

A fur cloak over traditional clothing.

Certain body parts that are more plump.

And the only difference is that the expression is incredibly rich.

A silver-haired girl, Yekatrice, who looks like twins to the white-haired girl in front of her in almost every way.

“…don’t ask.”

And Yuna-kyung couldn’t help but feel ashamed as she alternately looked at Ainsha, who showed a dislike of her expressionless expression, even though she had the same face.
