Chapter 77
Hemillas and I were riding in an airborne vehicle. It wasn’t an Imperial Guard vehicle but one belonging to the Custoria family.
"How was the escort mission?"
Hemillas asked me casually.
"It was strange."
I answered honestly. There was a lot of meaning behind those words.
"If I were to give you some advice, don’t think in terms of our common sense or standards. I’m sure you already know that, but I say it just in case."
Hemillas didn’t say anything more than that.
After a brief moment of thought, I spoke.
"The investigation into Kinuan is currently stalled. It’s getting harder to find any more traces."
"It would’ve been good if we had captured Rick alive, but... there’s nothing we can do about it now. We still have time. Since Rick is dead, the terrorists are bound to take some sort of action. They might even try to assassinate you."
We talked about the mission. In reality, the investigation into Kinuan had come to a standstill. The leads and momentum had been cut off. More than anything, my own determination had cooled.
