Reborn as a Supervisor

Location: L Nest - Sixth Association Section 1 Operations Headquarters

This is when everyone is preparing to evacuate

"I'm so tired, so tired..."

"…What exactly is the Blue Echo's plan?"

"Why worry about that? How can I report this to the association..."

"What can we do? We have to report what we saw and heard. They are not opponents we can handle."

Miris and Tsubaki were talking about what happened in the past few days, but the atmosphere was a little depressing.

"Let's not talk about us. There has been no news since Section 2 went to the library. Did something happen?"

"The brothers are all exhausted. Chief Shao must have worked too hard, too."

"Well, now is not the time to worry about other people. There are still a lot of things to sort out, so don't dawdle."

Milis and Chun are considered half-civilian staff. They have to organize intelligence in a place like this and also have some special cases on hand, so their work is quite busy.

"Senior Chief, I am extremely sorry to bother you so late at night. Regarding the cases I have recently taken over, I have something to say..."

"...Section Chief?"

The two entered Shao's tent, but he was in a daze, probably because a certain date was approaching...

"…Ah, sorry. I was just thinking about something else. Don't worry about it."

"Back to the report. What's the matter?"

"Except for the Weeping Son that failed to be captured, the remaining twisted specimens have been handed over to several specialists for extraction and transfer to V Company."

"The construction period is about a day. Should we stay there until then?"

"Have you received any contact from the association president or the operations team?"

The reports from the two made Section Chief Shao frown, and she gave the next order.

"Section 1 has been ordered to withdraw from this incident."

“It is understood that in the future, matters related to libraries and distortions will be handled by an association depending on the circumstances.”

"So we are going to evacuate this nest now?"

"Yes. We will return immediately after the specimen is extracted. Please pack your luggage in advance."

"Before that, we will prepare for the next operation. I don't know what the commission will be, so we should rest and recuperate first."

Two days later, Shao led everyone from Section 1 back to the association and called the two of them together again to discuss important matters.

"From now on, remember every word I say."

Shao's expression was serious and earnest. Such occasions required solemnity and he was not joking. The two of them also understood the section chief's intention and carefully recorded every word that followed.

"Section 1 will most likely be sent to the outskirts of the city where the Ring Finger and Little Finger are exchanging fire."

"We should focus on Pinky. If you are sent, please be prepared."

"Order!"

"Miris's biggest weakness is that he is too proud of his achievements. As long as you pay attention to this, there will be no problems in the future."

"Tsubaki continues to improve. One day, she will be qualified to be given color."

(The strength of several people in the six departments has already vaguely touched the color, but without any significant achievements, they have not been recognized by the association)

"Say this suddenly..."

"...Maybe they received other reports."

The two men have followed Shao for many years and know their section chief very well. Now that he has explained these things, something must have gone wrong.

"No. I have already said it all before."

"Besides, I received an invitation to the library. It's right on the table."

"So just now..."

"Yes...I have resigned from my position as the head of Section 1 of the Sixth Association because of this."

"I will bear all the losses caused by unilaterally withdrawing from the association and tearing up the contract."

"So... what you mean is..."

Milis still held out a glimmer of hope, perhaps because Shao didn't want to continue to be the closer?

"You don't need to worry about this affecting your past experiences."

"What nonsense!" Miris couldn't hold back.

"I sincerely apologize to everyone for my abrupt departure."

"So we still have to go to the library?"

Chun is relatively calm. Just as Shao said, all he lacks to become a color is time.

"..."

Shao was silent too. She couldn't figure out what she was doing.

"That's not like Chief Shao. You know this is not something that can be decided rashly... How about gathering more information first? It will definitely be of great help."

"You're right. It's not like me. It's really not like me..."

"It's so unlike me... It's the first time I've cried. I thought I had no chance of experiencing this kind of emotion."

"Lowell has warned us repeatedly. No matter what happens to the other party, we must not give up our lives."

"It's so natural... I thought I could keep calm."

"I despise myself for not being able to let go of what I've experienced."

"Anger...loss of love, despair, grief."

"How to identify this feeling...I don't know."

“But one thing is certain.”

"I have come this far and have seen countless lies."

"I thought this city was filled with lies disguised as truth. I used to act that way."

"But my heart for Lowell is real."

(The world is fake, but love is real)

"Mr. Section Chief, your feelings are not incomprehensible."

"However, resigning at this point has many disadvantages."

"The trust between us and the association has been broken. Even if I set up my own office in the future, I will be excluded from this circle. Not only that, but also..."

Chun still tried to persuade Chief Shao...

"Even so!"

"I have never been so anxious in this city."

"Have you ever felt heartbroken by the separation?"

"Have you ever cried bitterly because of missing someone..."

"Thanks to Rowell, I finally know how real this feeling is."

"That's why burning my body is enough to prove that I have lived!"

How could ordinary people shake Chief Shao's will?

"How can you say it so high-soundingly? Section Chief Lowell is the same, and so are you..."

Chun felt helpless. Why were her superiors so emotional?

"Shao...I have a question."

"Get Lowell's book, and then what? Have you thought about what to do next?"

"...No, I didn't. I just wanted to follow my heart."

Maybe Shao has never thought about what to do in the future, or maybe she has fantasized about it, but fantasies that are too beautiful will lead to the loss of will. What she wants to do most now is to rescue Lowell from the library.

"It's obvious what the outcome will be for a finisher like you who acts impulsively in this situation."

"Do you want to have no way out?"

"Even if my starlight appears in the sky one day, what's the point if no one is by my side..."

Fireworks bloom in the sky, but no one appreciates them. What can a moment of glory bring? What can be left if no one remembers?

"I have made up my mind, and it cannot be changed."

"You know we will follow."

How could the people of the Sixth Association watch Chief Shao go to his death alone? They were the most united "family" except for Little Finger.

"……more or less."

"You won't dissuade me..."

"If you come with me... the chances of seizing the book will increase."

"It's really selfish."

"I have never seen you lose your composure like this before, but you said so... I have nothing to blame."

"It is not forced. You are free to choose."

"But if you are still willing to follow such a useless me... I will repay your kindness with my whole life."

Chen Fan appeared and picked up the invitation letter on the table, and signed his name on the invitation letter in front of everyone's shocked eyes.
