Glory in War [EDITED VERSION - SHORTER CHAPTERS]

Chapter 22.4

The Underground City

24:02

When they get back to their city, they walk around towards the base this time. CHE5TER seems to have changed in His crevaator clothes already, yet RY4N is still a bit confused about what happened.

[RY4N]-Sooo... Are you going to explain what happened now?

[CHE5TER]-Why the rush?

[RY4N]-*sigh* You are such a secretive person, Ches... I wonder who made you this way.

[CHE5TER]-*chuckles* And what's wrong with that?

[RY4N]-At least tell me, what was that data things about? Did you really managed to get registered in their data?

[CHE5TER]-Yeah. Can't believe it or what?

[RY4N]-Yeah, I mean... How did you do that anyway? Don't they need to take a drop of your blood to be registered? If anything, they could've seen already that you a part of their Officer's code line.

[CHE5TER]-It was pretty easy, actually. Remember Mr. A4RU?

[RY4N]-Didn't he die years ago? What about him?

[CHE5TER]-Well, in his will, he wrote that he wants to donate himself to the Great Leader even after his death. He wanted to serve the ruler, to make his death matter. "Use my blood as ink for the peace treaty, my body as shield for the citizens and my dreams as a reason to continue."

[RY4N]-*sigh* Yeah... I remember he was loyal to our father even after He passed away and served you like he was some sort of slave. He was a bit insane, wasn't he?

[CHE5TER]-Heh... A bit... After he died, I managed to take a small vessel full of his blood to fulfil his last wish in the future, not long before I cremated his body myself. But I'm afraid that he will still have to wait until the peace is established. In the end, I took this opportunity of him being an R born and put two drops of his blood in a fake finger to register myself in the data as soon as possible, knowing how much work I have around the City of Above.

[RY4N]-So he managed to serve you even after his death, huh?

[CHE5TER]-Yeah... And after that, I had to explain why I didn't get registered until that day and had to think of something quickly. So I simply said that I am ill and need to stay home to rest. They did check some days to see if I'm telling the truth and managed to trick them just enough for them to leave me alone. But I don't think they will check on you as well. I annoyed them for good, so they won't even bother themselves to see me again at my "home". But we will have to do something with your registration since now they are aware of you.

[RY4N]-Another pain in the ass... So I have to do it soon as well now? Don't think I need to do like you though. I'm not a C born.

[CHE5TER]-Yes, but you said it yourself. We have the same code as their Officer. If anything, it will raise some questions of how you got in my hands in the first place.

[RY4N]-Then we are going to take from someone's blood? I don't think we have someone young as an R born at the base. If anything, we will have to take from a different base.

[CHE5TER]-We will find a solution when the time comes. For now, let's just go back to the base. I have a lot of papers to sign since all the changes with the N3MES1O's base.

[RY4N]-When I come back, I can help you with them if you wish.

[CHE5TER]-You said it, not me. If you get bored, don't tell me you give up.
