The Core of Evil
New Life in LIONS
In the end...
I have to clean that room. WHOLLY
So let me explain from the beginning
I was brought here while I was so tired that I had to sleep. Noah's gonna be my roommate, 'cause I don't know anybody else and he says there's no more room
But just looking at his room, I forgot that there was a trace of odol dripping onto his floor...
"And don't tell me I slept in a bed with you last night"
"There's no other mattress here so-"
"Snubrate! I better shower now AAAHHH!!!"
In short, this room is very dirty. His dirty clothes are everywhere, and I don't need to talk about the smell. Even some of them were the clothes he used when he was cut into pieces, so there were blood spots on top of it
He said, "I like it, so I keep it as a collection", before I throw all those things in the trash
And as for the smelly yet decent one to wear, I immediately took her to the laundry area, and met some people who worked within this Fleet, making me think back
'Huh. Apparently this small group is a Fleet', or something
After delivering all the laundry that filled the 3 washing machines at once, I went back to the room, to find she DID NOT CLEAN THE FORMER ODOL IT, and instead, I went back to the room, IT EVEN FURTHER FOULED THE FLOOR BY LEAVING BISCUIT CRUMBS ON IT
...
...
...
"I'm hungry"
"Go to the cafeteria there!!!"
After cleaning up all that mess of hers, I knew that the reason she never went to the cafeteria was, the food was too healthy. Based on the survey I did... Oh my...
This food is healthy. They are so balanced, that if I ate them every day, I would probably be as big as him
Although there are unhealthy ones as well as this cheeseburger. He doesn't like burgers?
But how can this fool be bigger than me, when I force myself to eat this healthy thing more often...?
"Jay's even tidier than you..." I snorted at him while eating the canteen
This food is good for balanced portions. Not like Arcadia's
This chicken and vegetable broth soup melts the walls of my mouth...
The cooker is not at all stingy giving the seasoning in it...
At least this delicious thing could distract me from the tragedy called room by Noah
"Jay? You mean that orange-haired boy?" Noah asked, making me realize
"He's 3 years older than you. Call him sir" I'm warning you
"No matter. He's not my boss"
Well, he has a point
"Wah~! I see no new faces~!"
Urghs... A voice I am not familiar with...
I slowly turned my head with a forced smile, looking at a glasses girl with some group of friends and co-workers who were curious about me
Ughhhh... They're too many. God help me...
"I'm Lyse. I was a member of the information management tracking department" He started to introduce himself and sat down near Noah
At least he knows what a private room is
"I heard that you're going to be our new member. So, we were curious as to what your position would be" Lyse curiously said, putting both elbows on the table to support her face
"On position..."
"Ah, he'll be a 12 o'clock pillar"
"Oh, 12-hour pillar
Heh-h?"
Heh?
"Heh-?"
Whahuh?
"Pillars?"
Noah nodded in response to Lyse who looked surprised, so Lyse began to look at me with a stiff look
Not only him, everyone gathered looked shocked, making me feel uneasy even though I tried to hide it by sipping on the boxed apple cider juice given along with this meal
...
"WOW!! WE FINALLY FOUND THE PILLAR AGAIN!!"
Huh-uh?
"AND ALSO IN A SHORT TIME! THIS IS A RECORD, RIGHT??!"
Why are they suddenly
"THE HEAD IS AWESOME! I'M SURE THIS YOUNG MAN MUST BE VERY STRONG TO BE AT 12!!"
"LIVE CHIEF!!"
Heeh...?
Noah who enjoyed the atmosphere before noticed my uncomfortable expression only replied with a shrug
"They're glad you're here" he said, as he refilled the candy in his mouth
"I'll make sure your life here is comfortable. I'm Danton, part human empowerment-"
"And me"
"Me too"
Heh-h?
Heh-h?
UH??!!
...----------------...
L'm... I'm not strong anymore...
My introverted soul is no longer powerful...
Fortunately, Noah responded quickly and took me back to the room...
"They held my hand without permission..."
"I get it"
"And they're all too close..."
"I get it"
"They're also very noisy..."
"They are so"
Whereas in Arcadia I was always ignored and ostracized by other personnel. But here, I get the treatment of the golden boy
Getting that special treatment seems to be exhausting...
"You'll get used to it. I also don't like it when they touch my hand that way, even if the intention is good..." Noah gave me advice
...
"But that's not why I hate it when someone touches my hand..."
Noah was jolted from being aware of what I meant, slowly stopping playing games on his HP while turning around, confirming that I was okay
But when I saw that I did not care and was busy playing the game again, he immediately calmed down again
"Ah, you lost" I said
He immediately returned to the game, realizing that he had lost to me just now
"Squeaky. It's the third time you've lost" I mocked him again
Noah immediately pouted listening to the teasing, before his phone and my phone suddenly vibrated together, making me wonder
So Noah explained one thing to me about it
"Call from Mind. The chairman might want to talk"
The chairman?
Oh yeah??
I'm going to see the head of this fleet or something?
I approached and let Noah light his call, while I listened. In order to avoid audio defects in the signal
"Hello?" Noah asked
"Ah Noah's. Or should I say your code name, Span?" A female voice greeted him from across the call
"Say your needs, Mind. We're playing a game here" Noah said gruntly, making the woman he called Mind laugh
"The chairman will have a meeting soon. So, he wanted you to at least wear clothes before coming here"
"Oh come! I only came almost naked that time because there was no warning regarding the meeting!"
"That's why I'm reminding you now"
"Ugh..."
"And somehow, everyone except you are always ready when you want to meet the captain hm~?"
"I'll disconnect the call..."
"Ah, before that"
Noah immediately stopped his finger when Mind said that, and switched to start hearing first
"Hour 12 should be ready as well. Hear that?"
"Squeals! I think it's important!"
*tut!*
His call ended, with Noah looking exhausted just from communicating with the woman
"Wow~ You really don't like that woman huh?" I commented to him
"You wouldn't like him if he started talking to you" Noah replied
Hm... I was curious
They talked about pillars and clocks as a rank. What about the other pillars and clocks, huh...?
I wish I could meet him with the chairman in person
