Chapter 11
Chapter 11 : Everything requires preparation (1)
I do not like silence. Because unnecessary thoughts don't occur only when noise is mixed in. However, right now when even the beating of my heart is felt vividly, even amidst the quiet atmosphere, I felt comfort.
‘It has been a long time since I slept this deeply.’
An unfamiliar feeling was lightly emptying the inside of my head. The sweet and thick scent brushing past like an afterimage covered my skin and pressed down on my body.
......I quietly opened my eyes. Light leaking through the gap in the beige curtains which were far from unique, a space where not even common ornaments were visible.

Making one think it was not undecorated, but left empty.
“You woke up quickly, troublemaker.”

“......Yuri?”
“Seems you are still half asleep.”
Soon, along with the voice heard, what was seen by my shifted gaze was a woman munching on a dried plum. Realizing I had carelessly called her name as I pleased, I hurriedly tried to raise my body.
“There is no need to overdo it. Since your body wouldn't be intact. You managed to wake up in that state surprisingly well.”

However, I had no choice but to collapse again immediately. Because excessive pain as if my whole body was tearing pressed down on me. My condition was close to being a wreck.
Along with that, the seams of memories that seemed covered in fog were woven and gradually became clear. Right, I visited Milo's hospital room. To induce Alleto and Vex who would have received Krevo's instructions.
Afterward, I engaged in combat with them.......
‘From a certain moment, I lost prudence.’

Uncontrollable violence kept boiling up, and I was even drunk on a sense of superiority. And the one who restrained me acting like a moron was exactly her.
It was a feeling difficult to describe. Words and actions complacent to the extreme felt like they weren't me. Therefore, I couldn't gauge how to explain that situation to Yuri.

“......Cyberware allows one to surpass biological limits. However, along with that, it accompanies dissonance and makes one lose humanity. You must know what kind of influence that exerts.”
Before long, the one who opened her mouth first was her. I nodded instead of answering. Because the content related to that was something I already knew.
‘Obsession with desire.’
Many who received cyberware transplants crave physiological desires like appetite or sexual desire, as well as stability or affection, and become addicted to power or achievement to confirm humanity.
Especially for those who received strengthening cyberware transplants, the degree appears more severe. The method to solve this was simple. Fulfillment of desire; a solution not that grand, but the effect is certain.
“I know.”

“If so, beyond obsession, you must also know about cases of becoming buried in desire.”
As the transplant rate of cyberware increases, people go crazy. Becoming buried in desire meant being swallowed by stimulation without a shred of restraint. Usually, we call such a phenomenon this.
“......Pollution.”
“Right.”
What she wanted to ask was determined from the beginning.
“Did you perhaps experience Pollution.”

“The cyberware I received transplants for are only arms and legs.”
“Seem to think I wouldn't know that?”

Therefore, I shouldn't have experienced Pollution. Nevertheless, Yuri ignored my opinion as if it were nothing. Naturally, it wasn't a groundless stubbornness.
“Your problem must lie here.”
Her index finger touched my chest. Right, the trigger for Pollution wasn't just one.
“Mana Core.......”
Еn̂ u ḿа̊ . і̆ d
“Right, those whose Mana Core is unstable easily experience Pollution.”
The Mana Core is a dualistic concept of soul distinguished from the body, in other words, interpreted as a realm of the unconscious. It wasn't strange to become vulnerable to Pollution close to mental illness. I had witnessed this just a few hours ago as well.
‘Alleto and Vex.’
Rack-up contains artificially extracted mana, causing instability of the Mana Core. There was a reason the guys showed precarious appearances.

And I broke the Mana Core for the activation of Overclock. It wasn't strange to be exposed to the danger of Pollution even temporarily. Falling into complacency, I realized it only now.
Self-repair of the Mana Core is not perfect. Perhaps the impatience I felt repeatedly might also be due to that influence. Because it would have burst out through the activation of Overclock.

“Is my thought still wrong?”
“There is no way that is so.”
Resentment toward myself attacked, and I bit my lip instinctively. Why couldn't I think of that. Even though I have the experience of watching the pain caused by it closely for a longer time than anyone else.
“Because you, who are likewise experiencing Pollution, would know well.”
At my words, Yuri's eyelids trembled finely. Even compared to me whose growth period hasn't ended, her physique is petite.
Skeletal structure not suitable for excessive power; women are more vulnerable to the loss of humanity due to the transplant of strengthening cyberware compared to men.

‘Therefore, it would be harsh to live as a Knight.’
Furthermore, she is the one and only Level S Mana Core owner. A vast level of energy to the extent of being uncontrollable, this itself maintains an unstable state.
In other words, Yuri Erenroch is already experiencing Pollution. Being able not to show it was because she is forcing stabilization by downgrading the Mana Core level through periodic administration of Dis-Mana, a drug decomposing mana.
“Right, it is as you say. There was also a time I committed an unsightly mistake due to that. That is why I judged I cannot just watch you like this.”
Unsightly mistake, that is also related to the death of her father, Beric Erenroch. I heard that she, who hadn't been invested long, moved arbitrarily for revenge.
And they said dozens of Knights were deployed to stop this. Just to handle a single greenhorn. It was an unprecedented disaster to that extent, and she was still swallowing that regret.

“From now on, I will not permit the activation of Overclock for you.”
Yuri spat out those words in the end. For her, it was an unnecessary judgment. Because it is beneficial to continue accumulating data of Overclock through the feedback sequence Rieta planted in me.

Nevertheless, making such a judgment was not for any other reason. This is worry, not a warning. She is not a person who achieves purposes while sacrificing others.
“......I am sorry, but I cannot accept that order.”
“Did I hear wrong?”
“No, you heard correctly. Because you must complete Overclock, and I have the duty to help that.”

Unlike me, she can resolve Pollution by mastering Overclock. Because in the first place, it is an operation method focused on controlling the Level S Mana Core.
“I know I am not in a position to say such words, but I said I will become a scabbard suitable for you. Therefore, I cannot stop here. Of course, I have no intention of repeating the same mistake either. So...... please give me a chance again.”
Of course, I wouldn't be able to receive help from Dis-Mana like her. Because the case is different. But it wasn't that there was no way. If being conscious, I could suppress Pollution to some extent.
“......Seeing the stubborn look in your eyes, do you really intend to refuse my order? Even knowing this is something where you yourself become endangered?”

My existence shimmered in her focus. Still a gentle ripple wetting the toes, but don't know when it might become a wave and submerge to death. So somehow, I must learn how to breathe even inside that.
“Because there is something I learned.”
W̄ е b ño v̆ eľ Еn ûm̀ а̇
“I don't know from whom you learned it, but it is a very bad habit.”
Although she said so, she laughed lightly. The stiffened atmosphere had become looser than before. A bad habit, it is a relief she herself also knows.
“Has time become like this already.”
BEEP-.
Yuri, who realized my intention, prepared to leave the seat along with the notification of the terminal. Along with that, she handed me the remaining dried plum.
“......Are you giving this to me?”

“Regardless of how the process went, you becoming in this state is also my carelessness.”
It was a passage allowing me to realize for what business she was moving. Because business would remain with that person, no, with them.
“Then rest well. For reference, this is the instructor-exclusive rest area, my private room. Use it cleanly.”
“Just what did you say.......”
“Means do not do strange things.”
Like that, she left the seat with a faint smile. And I quietly put the dried plum in my mouth. Ambiguous texture between hardness and softness, the sweetness stemming from that stimulated the tip of the nose.

‘Can't even remember what conversation we shared.’
Regardless of will, the sympathetic nerves standing on end had no thought of calming down, and the residual feeling of sugar remaining sticky in the mouth showed no sign of being diluted.

......Even in my previous life, I had never set foot in this place full of her traces.

TRICKLE-.
Deeply brewed water filled the teacup. The slow stream left a fine resonance, and the heavy pressure filling the President's office seemed like it would overflow at any moment.

“Seems the line was crossed in this matter.”
Hausen opened his mouth with a low voice and pushed the teacup toward Krevo seated on the opposite side. The surface rippled precariously and reflected the light of the illumination.
“I do not know what you mean.”
“Haha, knew you would say that.”

At the uncomfortable unpleasantness, Krevo crumpled his forehead.
“Instructor Erenroch.”
Е̇n̈ û.m̈а́
At Hausen's call, Yuri who was guarding the back handed over the record printed in writing. What kind of information would be contained therein could be known without checking directly.
“Unauthorized removal and provision of combat equipment, circumstances of manipulating the control system of the Medical Area have been captured.”
Failure, the word he didn't want to mouth rolled on Krevo's tongue. The plan didn't succeed.
Rather, the Melcran brothers who moved receiving his instructions were found in a wreck.
Thanks to that, his tail ended up being caught. It wasn't easy to accept. Because at least he thought it wasn't a task difficult enough to keep failure in mind.
“......In addition, from Cadets Alleto and Vex, even traces of possession and administration of synthetic drugs were detected.”

Rough circumstances could be inferred through the item mentioned last. Because cases where administration traces would be detected from Alleto and Vex are limited.
When administered voluntarily to resolve setbacks that occurred in proceeding with the plan, or when forcibly administered by others, the common point of such possibilities was one.
‘They were no match.’
It means they were overwhelmed by the guy he treated as rootless trash, Jin.
GRIND-.
He ground his teeth and swallowed anger. Because that's not what needs to be thought about right now. Even if ignoring other things, the part regarding synthetic drugs is an item capable of stripping the position of Vice President.

Of course, there won't be a case of suffering obediently. Honor and performance built up for a long time, power stemming from that does not collapse that futilely.
“The President's will is said to be so, what do you think.”

“......Well.”
The figure keeping silence at Krevo's question opened his mouth indifferently. The man's name is Ronan Rupert, a high-ranking official of the Empire and a Councilor belonging to the Imperial Direct Council.......
“Need to review the proper statement of the first witness, Instructor Erenroch.”
And he was Yuri's blood relative who abandoned the family and left.
