how many people would be willing to bear the pain inflicted on their bodies for
the fleeting honor ot the empire?
“in order to verify that the undead runes i translated were correct, i modified the undead runes on the death magic buildings many times. i’ve succeeded and failed. the cost of failure was heavy, but fortunately the empire didn’t abandon me, and i didn’t disappoint the empire… i didn’t scare you, did i, jarvis?”
“no, not at all. you’re truly admirable, chief officer. without your sacrifice, there would be no translations for me to review.”
noland showed deep respect, not for anything else, but for the dedication and courage of the other party.
with the “disguise” covering her face, captain murphy gently massaged her cheeks with her hands, allowing the two faces to fit perfectly together.
“so you see, jarvis, your predicament is only temporary. as long as you can prove with your actions that the ‘broken coffin’ plan is truly effective, you will gain the empire’s sponsorship. you can shake off your identity as a sin soldier, become a true soldier, and be promoted to ‘imperial fist’. considering that you are not an ‘imperial fist’ and yet we are letting you carry out such a dangerous operation, we have arranged for two sin soldiers to accompany you so you can try your hand.”
captain murphy took up the lit cigarette:
“intelligence department 4 has suggested that i convey some things to you.
after this corps task is over, you can enjoy all the treatment of a corps soldier
– clean hot water, adequate vegetables and meat, warm marching tents, the
‘refreshing time’ every half a month, and so on. this is the promise of the
intelligence department 4 to you. of course, your identity is still that of a sin
soldier, you should know the reason for that.”
“yes, i understand… it’s the rule set by our great emperor.”
— according to historical records, the current reigning tatis i came from a sin soldier background. in his day, there was no talk about a sin soldier being reformed. only after he established the modern tatis empire, did sin soldiers have a chance to reform.
these historical facts were found by noland in the original master’s memory.
“alright, i’ve said everything i needed to,” captain murphy put down her cigarette, and saluted to noland saying:
“salute to every warrior of the empire.”
noland stood up, his eyes sparkling, and saluted:
“salute to the fearless pioneer. chief officer, you are my role model.”
with a determined tone, persevering gaze, and impressive appearance, captain murphy was very satisfied with the sin soldier in front of her.
