INJUSTICE: Save Human Or Surrender

#22 Operation Tiberiu (Until Meet)

December 5th, 3029

At 14:40

Tiber surgery has been going on for 3 days regularly.

Mr. Geovani gives each member across the alliance a micro-chip demonic detector that will be paired in GPS. This tool is designed in such a way as to make it easier for us to run this operation. When the presence of the devil is detected, it will sound a loud alarm.

The entire alliance had already been to several cities in the territory already arranged by the Commander of the Clement Squad during the night meeting a few days ago. But so far we have not found any trace of Tiberiu. The Garrison is the same.

Squad Commander Clement kept lamenting the GPS on his arm to monitor the movements of each alliance in this operation.

Hope this mission succeeds.

Today the Amdis Alliance arrived in a bustling city.

The city of Salz, an industrial city surrounded by hills and close to the sea.

This town almost reminds me of Rainville because of the crowds.

This city as a place to supply goods from outside the island which plays an important role as the supply of the needs of residents throughout the city of Steich. At the same time, Salz City has an important port that is commonly used to import or export goods to and from the island and fishermen to fish in the sea far away. However, because of this very cold weather and besides the City of Salz is located in the North, the fishermen have a holiday to catch fish.

"They're using autumn to fish before winter comes" Alexa explained. It turns out that the boy often visited this city while on vacation while accompanying his father to work in a shipping industry. However, now his father is retired and focused on another job at Roseville.

No wonder he knows everything!

To run this operation, we had to disguise ourselves as ordinary people. Our entire horse was placed in a nearby forest and guarded by one of the soldiers.

"You can look around or buy, but don't stay away from me!" commandant of the Clement Squad who led our journey.

"Ready, Clement!" my spoken.

Suddenly Simas broke away and headed for the crowd at one of the stands in the traditional market that was lined up along the way.

He was watching a monkey mask show.

It appears that a monkey wearing a mask is under traction led by a man dressed in a white shirt accompanied by special music using a musical instrument. People cheered watching them. Simas also participated in this event.

Oh well, Simas makes ngakak just watch it that way.

Suddenly, my gaze was distracted by the form of Alexa that suddenly disappeared beside me.

"Waa, thanks!" Alexa buys chocolate ice cream at one of the stands.

Fucking bocil!

I immediately approached Alexa who was on the opposite stand.

"I'm wanted too!" grumbling.

"Yes sorry," he said as he devoured the ice cream. "By the way you should try this!"

On the one hand, I also wonder how the ice cream flavor that Alexa eats. It's impossible if I ask for it.

"Okay, hang on."

"Sir, buy chocolate-flavored ice cream, yes!" I said to an old man selling ice cream. Her hair that had turned white like snow was blown away by a slow gust of wind.

"Wear a cup or cone, son?"

"Have a chance, sir."

"All right!" She picked up the chocolate ice cream with a special long spoon in the ice cream freezer plastered in front of me.

It's so variegated it feels. There are flavors of coffee, strawberry, matcha, chocolate, chocolate-coffee, oreo, beans, and so on.

"Well, here, pretty!" said the old man with a smile while giving me a cup of chocolate ice cream and chocolate wafer stuck on the ice cream so that it gives a beautiful impression.

E—e the father ....

"This, sir, the money!" I said, giving him 5 coins for 100 silver and taking my ice cream out of his hands. Because indeed the price of one ice cream is 500 silver based on the writing already listed there.

"Thank you, have fun!" he said with a smile that caused a line of wrinkles on his face.

I returned her smile, then turned my eyes to Alexa who was eating her ice cream.

I immediately tried this ice cream and ....

So soft!

Not like the average ice cream I ate before.

We both decided to walk around the many booths in this traditional market. Simas still watched the monkey mask enthusiastically.

Her hobbies are weird too.

"Today there is a winter festival held every year" explained Alexa while eating ice cream.

"Oh, the pantes are not surprised by the rame," I replied.

"Yes, and by the way the ice cream guy was my subscription every time I went to Salz."

"Oh yeah?"

Alexa nodded. "But the seller is different, who used to have died from brain cancer."

I nodded at his explanation while still eating ice cream and walking in the middle of the human crowd. The rhythm of the bell enliven this traditional market.

Suddenly Alexa called out to me with a tug on my jacket. I looked towards him.

"That's Loulou!" he shouted while pointing at Louis who was looking at the souvenirs on one of the stands.

We went straight to Louis. He did not know the whereabouts of the two of us who were suddenly already behind him.

"DOR!"

Louis was surprised and turned his head towards the two of us right behind him. "You guys!"

We laughed too.

"Shock, yeah, Bang?" my question began to appear nosy nature.

"So!" said it. Though in his deepest heart, he was actually shocked.

"Yay, that's it."

Suddenly, one of the souvenirs caught my attention.

Shell pendant necklace.

I don't know why I'm interested in that pretty thing. My soul seemed to be fused with that thing. Pendant of original shell is white– browned and necklace strap is black.

Duh, eyes!

I have to think about my not much money to buy that high-value item.

"Expensive, this is."

"Oh, you like that, huh?" Suddenly Louis realized with my vision of that beautiful thing. His words made my consciousness diverted to him.

"Eng—i—ya but it's normal just like to see the shape," I replied nervously.

"Oh," That's all that came out of his mouth.

I immediately turned my gaze to the sea of humans behind me that filled the path around the traditional market. I'm talking about a GPS device tied to my wrist.

There is no alarm at all.

I looked back at the people who passed in front of me. I saw Alexa who was enjoying her ice cream.

"You didn't buy?" ask Alexa who is unemployed beside me while enjoying her chocolate ice cream.

"Son, I'm trying to save my money" replied Alexa.

We are lucky, Alexa!

I decided to wait for Louis who was looking around pretty souvenirs for quite a while while finishing chocolate ice cream. I watched Louis who was done with the action and immediately paid to a souvenir seller mother.

"Cie buy," my god. "For whom?"

"Someone."

"Use all secrets, not exciting!"

"You'll know who."

"Whose name, anyway? The initial thing is okay."

"A."

A who?

My name? My first initials are not A.

No need for ge-er!

"Not you, you're Nica!" he said that instantly made my heart stop. I tried to smile to cover up the shame in me.

"Jude."

"OI!!" greet Simas from a distance. Approaching the three of us.

"Well, have you finished watching the monkey mask?"

"Mask monkey?" louis asked confusedly.

"Yes, so a monkey wearing a mask keeps him in a rotation guided by a human being" I explained.

"The monkey mask is done" Simas said. "The monkey is so funny!"

"I want to keep a monkey."

We laughed out loud at Simas' silly words. Louis smiled at her.

I'm like a pregnant woman just crave it to her side.

"No!"

"Buy the monkey where is it?" ask Alexa plainly.

"Forest is plenty" answered Louis.

"I've never seen a monkey in a forest before" Alexa said.

"Why are we talking about buying monkeys all?"

I can't stop laughing. More and more days, Simas increasingly shrewd in joking, even himself until dubbed 'Hero Joker'.

"Your alarm sounds, doesn't it?" simas asked while showing him his GPS device.

"Not at all!" answer me and Alexa.

Louis shook his head.

"You don't feel, anyway, even if we have visited any city, still this tool does not show the presence of the devil?" ask Simas curiously. "Is it possible that they deliberately tricked us?"

"No way, it is! As much as they can trick us, it'll ring!" answer Alexa.

"THAT TIME!" exclaimed Commander Lucian and Squad Commander Clement beside him. Suddenly the two of them came to us with two shopping bags.

"Good afternoon, Commander Lucian and Commander of the Clement Squad!" greet us while making a respectful greeting welcoming their arrival.

"How has it progressed so far?" ask Commander Lucian.

"For the time being we don't find any trace of the devil here, Commander!" sahut Simas's.

"Okay, keep watching!" exclaim Commander Lucian.

"Ready, Commander!" we all four of us simultaneously.

Commander Lucian and Squad Commander Clement also responded to the greetings of the four of us.

"I've bought our supplies for dinner!" commander Lucian said as he pointed towards one of his shopping bags held by the Commander of the Clement Squad.

"Our dinner is a burn-out edition!" commander Lucian exclaimed while displaying a smile on his teeth.

"Guys!"

"Yay!"

"We're also celebrating Clement's success because he's got tuna!" commander Lucian continued, teasing Squad Commander Clement who had a sullen face. "Blessed!"

"Curtain!" Squad Commander Clement seemed unhappy with Commander Lucian's treatment of him. His gaze threw in the other direction.

"He was angry because he was being treated as a child by the salesmen here" Commander Lucian said. "Until he was given free tuna by one of the fishmongers."

"Lumayan, right?"

"Stop, Lucian! You humiliated me in front of them!" grumbled Commander Squad Clement was upset.

The four of us chuckled at Commander Lucian's explanation which was completely beyond my expectations.

"Oh yeah, where are the others?" asked Louis in wonder.

Initially, one group of Amdis Alliance went through the traditional market but now only the six of us are left.

The longer the sea of humans, the more crowded it was to stifle me.

"The others have already returned to the forest" replied Commander Lucian. "They've been waiting for us!"

"All right, let's go back!" take Commander Lucian, tell the four of us to return to the forest not far from the population center. It was confirmed by Commander Lucian that the forest was safely occupied for a while while we were in the city of Salz.

Get there, get there,

The soldiers who first arrived there set up tents to prepare for the night. They also welcomed our arrival.

"I brought a lot of fish for our dinner!" commander Lucian exclaimed as he approached those who were followed by the four of us behind him. Those who were busy setting up tents and other activities, suddenly cheered.

Squad Commander Clement fell silent with an annoyed face. "Well, here's the fish I want to rest first."

Squad Commander Clement immediately put down his shopping bag and took out a towel that had been moistened by water.

"You can find as much firewood as you can!" commander Lucian's orders to the four of us who had just been sitting on the ground were so tired.

"Should it be now, Commander?" asked Simas who had just sipped mineral water. He almost spewed water from his mouth.

It was fortunate that Simas did not spray him, as he would definitely get a punishment and lecture from the special edition Commander Lucian.

"Of course!" exclaim Commander Lucian resolutely. "There's no buts!"

Get tired! His decisive nature appeared and we who had just rested for a minute had to carry out their duties.

"Okay, Commander!" exclaim Louis. He immediately rose from his comfortable position and saluted in front of Commander Lucian.

The most diligent and never complaining person among the four of us was Louis. Although the soul of his body is tired, but it does not prevent him from doing something ordered by his top brass as it was at Courtfeig Hero Academy.

No wonder he became Mr.'s favorite child. William.

"Ready, Commander!" I said I was following Louis. But before, I exercised respect before him first.

Commander Lucian smiled.

Eventually Louis and I were looking for wood to cut and transported back to the alliance for overnight use.

"You got the ax?"

"Of course!" he said while showing an axe from his hand.

We searched the cedar forest and looked for the right wood color quality to be used as firewood. This type of coniferous forest has strong wood and has a leaf shape that resembles a needle. All types of coniferous trees are always needle-leaved and always green throughout the year.

When I was in the forest like this, the cold pierced me even more. The sunlight trying to shine was blocked by the height of the cedar tree.

"That tree, it's good the color of the wood!" I cried while pointing towards one of the cedar trees.

The two of us went straight to one of the cedar trees I pointed at and Louis started cutting the tree using the axe he was carrying. It takes several times to cut the stem because it has a strong texture. Shortly thereafter, the tree fell. Next, he immediately divided into several parts.

Louis looked exhausted. I also offered to help myself.

"Let me go!" I ordered him to give me an axe from his grasp.

"Don't!"

"When do you want to keep going? " i said with a faint smile looking at her. "Let's get the ax!"

Hard too.

However, I kept insisting on myself to cut the trunk of the cedar tree until it became several pieces and split it.

"Louis, Nica!" the sound from the distance surprised me. It turned out that Alexa and Simas called us and went straight to the two of us who were busy with cedar tree trunks.

"Let us help you!" alexa with spirit.

"Why are you guys suddenly here?" ask Louis.

"One side we want to help you and the other side we were threatened by Commander Lucian about the dinner ration" explained Simas.

"Get's."

They both helped us so that our work became easier.

After an hour of searching and cutting cedar trees, the four of us finally produced maximum results. We get enough wood for supplies during this winter. The wood we cut is not all to be made firewood, but also used as an antiseptic drug that will be processed by Greer's team later

.

Arriving with the group Amdis Alliance, the four of us immediately put the cedar wood that has been tied in the designated place.

It's getting late afternoon. The days are passing quickly. The orange-red sky dyed the world, displaying a charming look to enjoy. The air is getting colder the more the day. The soldiers were busy picking up the firewood that the four of us had gathered.

"4°C"

A holographic light displaying the current temperature estimate emerged from the GPS device attached to my wrist.

"Buset feels like a minus."

I rubbed my hands as fast as I could. Trying to get a warm sensation to warm this frozen me.

"Great work!" commander Squad Clement told the four of us who were cold, sitting on a pile of wood that we did not cut into pieces.

Squad Commander Clement always drank tea wherever he was, until in the forest as it is now does not prevent him from drinking tea. He was willing to bring a cup in this state.

Squad Commander Clement doang emang!

"Are we gonna spend the night here?" ask Louis.

"Yes and tomorrow morning after sunrise we will move" replied Commander Squad Clement.

"But .. I feel insecure here,"

"not safe? Whatchu mean?" I asked who was immediately confused by the sentence.

"I don't think I'm safe here yet" replied Louis, who was troubled.

"They'll come."

"Is that true, Clement?" ask me to make sure.

Squad Commander Clement fell silent and let out a long sigh. "Freely we can't move at night because the weather is getting colder!"

"We're staying on guard for tonight."

"All right," I said.

"Don't forget to prepare your dinner!" said Squad Commander Clement smiled as he patted the shoulders of the two of us.

"Get up!"

I answered him with a smile while looking at him who left us both.

"Louis, what do you mean?!" ask me with a high note.

There was a worried look on his face. "I can't explain it."

"Why?" ask me one more time. "Explain me!"

"Why are you suddenly acting like this?"

Louis was silent as he looked at the twilight sky.

"I told you I can't explain, but I'm sure tonight we'll find someone we've been looking for all this time!"

"Tiberius?" my many.

Louis was silent again. His eyes looked back at both of my eyes. Either I feel Louis's different eyes.

Like it wasn't Louis I knew.

The Louis I know has a brave soul. But now I see the opposite of Louis.

"Close your eyes!" suddenly command.

"Well?" I was surprised to hear his words.

"Yes, close your eyes!"

I also closed both my eyes.

"Don't be weird!" my spoken. Louis did not respond to my words.

But I could feel the touch of his hand on my neck. I kept my eyes closed with patience and curiosity until he told me to open my eyes.

"OK, open!"

I opened my eyes and felt something in my chest.

This is ....

The clam pendant necklace I liked in the traditional market earlier!

"You bought me this?"

"Yes!" she answered with a warm smile on her face. "The initial 'A' I mean is your name. I'll take the letter behind him,"

"Seriously this is for me?"

"Of course!" the answer. "You like it, don't you?"

I nodded slowly. Still can't believe what's going on with me right now. Tears began to pour out from my eyes and wet my face.

With his soul as warm as the sun, Louis wiped the tears on my face. "Why crying?"

I did not respond to her question and immediately hugged her. I cried myself to the point of wetting his black coat. Louis immediately grabbed me tenderly.

"THANK YOU!" I said as I put my face in his arms.

"You have given me everything but ...." Sentences interrupted.

"A—I haven't been able to repay your kindness. I'm sorry!"

Suddenly I felt a hand stroking my red hair. I want to be in this position every day.

I feel safe and secure with him every time.

"You have returned my kindness" said Louis, stroking my hair. "With you standing next to me in good health and smiling happily, it makes me happy!"

"really?"

"Yes" he answered.

"Are you going to leave me one day?"

Louis remained silent. Instantly his hand on my hair stopped. I let go of his embrace and looked at his face. The gaze implied by the words he wanted to throw.

The sky was getting darker, the sun detik—demi— seconds began to sink and replaced with moonlight.

"Only God knows" he replied without looking at me. Louis' attitude changed immediately.

I feel the most!

The night sky is coming.

The soldiers immediately made a bonfire out of the firewood that the four of us had collected. The burning event was happy. We all laughed while singing.

Squad Commander Clement remains in his own world. He deliberately broke away and switched to reading books while enjoying a grilled sardine accompanied by Commander Lucian and Squad Commander Lewis.

The Simas I know. He was crazy for drinking too much red wine. Alexa was the same, singing while eating grilled fish so that his face left a mark of fish meat there.

Not with Louis. He looked uninspired while grasping the grilled fish that had been given seasoning. His gaze was always lamenting the star-filled night sky.

"Oi!" call me to Louis. I approached Louis who was silent and sat down beside him. His eyes looked towards me.

"Diem-diem. What else to think, anyway?"

"Come," he answered. His gaze continued to look at the night sky.

"I don't think I'll be long."

I immediately pinched his cheek. "What the hell, anyway?!"

"A—aw!" Louis grimaced in pain.

"Don't ngawur napa?!"

"I'm talking based on facts."

"Well, good by the way! Can you see me sad like a street cat?"

"I don't like cats."

"I don't want to know you can't just leave me. Point!" obviously I was in a slightly raised voice and put a sullen face in front of him.

Louis immediately stroked my hair lovingly while looking at my two eyes.

--

A few hours later, though,

At 23:54

The burning event is over.

"All of you stay on standby and always have GPS in your hands!" commander Lucian's orders to the soldiers. He ordered all the soldiers to gather while lighting a bonfire to warm the body.

"Please do not fall asleep because danger is lurking us in this operation!" continue with firmness.

"Stay alert around you!" said Squad Commander Clement who was next to Commander Lucian.

"Okay, good rest!" exclaimed Squad Commander Clement told us to disperse. The entire army immediately returned to each of the tents to rest.

"Please do not fall asleep because danger is lurking us in this operation!"

"OK sip mending myself do not need to sleep at all," I murmured.

"What's wrong?" alexa suddenly approached me who was sitting outside the tent while observing the bonfire that was still rumbling. "You're not sleeping?"

I shook my head. "I can't sleep, you can sleep first."

"All right," said Alexa. "Good night, Nikki!"

He entered the tent behind me.

"Hey! You're not sleeping, man?" hello Kim, come up to me who is alone.

"I'm having insomnia."

"Sum some warm milk to get your insomnia cured!"

"OK, Kim. Thanks for the advice!" I said with a smile.

"All right, I'm sleeping first. Don't forget to sleep, yeah!" said Kim. "Night!"

Kim enters the tent with Alexa.

I am the only one who is awake now.

I saw the Commander of the Clement Squad who had directly entered his tent without realizing I was not asleep.

The atmosphere of the forest became silent. Only the sound of crows flying in the sky and the leaves of cedar trees touching each other so as to cause a rustling sound.

Nature is asleep.

My brain is still thinking about Louis.

"I don't think I'll be long."

"Only God knows,"

"I don't think I'm safe here, anyway,"

"They'll come."

Those words ran through my mind. It's hard for me to calm down. Maybe one of my causes of insomnia is because of this.

I got too carried away to mind.

What happened to Louis?

Meanwhile, my premonition was not good either.

Is something going to happen to him?

No, no way!

Relax, Rika, relax! Relax your mind, man!

It's all just your subconscious being stressed ....

"Nica?"

Suddenly Louis approached me and sat down beside me. I was shocked to death. I was not aware of his presence beside me.

"Louis?"

"Can't sleep, huh?" ask her in a soft tone.

I'm nodding. "My eyes are heavy, but I can't sleep at all."

"Oh," said he. "I am too."

"You have to force yourself to sleep. I'll go monitor around," he continued. He knows my purpose.

"DON'T!" I grabbed both of his shoulders.

I suddenly yawned unconsciously. Like there was a strong energy telling me to fall asleep immediately. Louis looked at me with a smile.

"That's sleepy," he said while watching me.

"T—but out there danger especially on a night like this!" my snapping.

"Calm down" he said, showing me the dagger from his trouser pocket still wrapped in a sheath. "This thing will save me."

"Did you remember our conversation at the lake in Rainville?" ask Louis in a soft tone. "I ever tell you that I fought demons alone?"

I slapped my face repeatedly so that this sleepiness disappeared.

But, my efforts are nil.

The drowsiness grew worse, forcing both of my eyes to close. The powerful energy made my soul hypnotized.

"No, I won't leave you alone. You should go back to your tent, too, Louis!" I snapped in a high voice while gripping both of his shoulders. "A—I have a bad feeling about this."

"Please trust me!"

Louis just smiled. Not returning my words.

Suddenly I was unconscious because of this intense sleepiness. Successfully closed both my eyes and the rhythm of my breathing instantly changed to be slower and quieter.

"See you, my dear Rika ...."

That voice was faintly heard by me.

I couldn't move like someone was holding my soul back from making a revolt.

I fell asleep into a dream.
