Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 5)

Chapter 823: The Last (56)

-Sigh...

"Don't worry too much about it, Hyejin."

-How could I not worry? This is not just a game. This...

"Well... It's the same with war. Why are you acting like you've never commanded a military force? Responsibility always follows... It's no different this time around."

-This and that are different.

"Gosh..."

-I don't like to lead the field even in war, but I will feel even more out of place in this case. It is not something I can do sanely since just moving a piece might blow someone's life away. This is the first time I'm going to say this, but I instinctively reject playing with human lives...

'Look at her saying famous lines again.'

"But what can I do? The only person I can think of right now is you."

'Well... It's pretty understandable.'

-Sigh...

She still looked like she didn't want to do it.

As she said, her intuition declined such drastic notions.

In fact, she seemed to be afraid of the act of betting people's lives rather than the burden itself.

Perhaps, if the war had actually happened, she wouldn't have felt a sense of repulsion to this extent.

'Gosh...'

Typical psychopathic commanders like Jin Qing and Jihye would probably not understand Cho Hyejin even for the rest of their lives.

'I understand because I'm the same. I'm just being honest. How can anyone play a game where they use people as chess pieces? What kind of crazy people came up with this idea?'

I felt somewhat proud of the fact that I was closer to her than those two.

She and I got along well for a reason.

I didn't want to send her on such a painful mission at all, but I couldn't think of anyone other than her who was suitable for it.

I wondered if it would be good to send Song Sookyung, but he was out since he had work to do while Jung Hayan was tied up, and Kim Hyunsung also had to spend time with the angels in the north. More than anything...

'It suits her disposition.'

If not satisfied, she had to fight with defeat in mind. She wouldn't start intending to lose, but she'd most likely start a fight that preserved as many troops as possible as a precaution.

Of course, I highly appreciated her ability, but perhaps she would play that game more carefully than anyone else if it were her.

After a while, she slowly nodded, opened the door, and began to move. Park Deokgu and Han Sora, waiting for her, looked relieved.

-Well... You finally arrived!

—...

"This is obvious, but you have to hide that you can talk to me."

She didn't say anything, but she was probably listening.

—If you are ready, please let me know.

'I hate to see him pretending to be relaxed.'

-Hey, Hyejin, has Hayan given you a brief explanation?

-Cho Hyejin.

-Yes. Yes. I know the gist of it. The information that Sora gathered was very helpful.
