Seeing my friend enter the enemy's camp was a shock. Soon she was in favor of all hunters' rules, I don't know anything about Eleanore's past, but I know she would not make an alliance with the enemy, which on top of that would bring down the hunters. There is something very wrong going on here.
Emilia - Eleanore ..?!
Rika - Now there is something very wrong going on. Is she working for the government?
Emilia - no ... impossible ..! I know Eleanore, she would not join the people who want to destroy the hunters.
Rika - ok ... But it is strange that she entered that place without disguising herself, much less being sneaky, she entered there with such ease, this is very suspicious.
Emilia - enough talk, let's get in soon.
Rika - come on.
The plan was as follows, let's wait for two government women to show up, we approach them and ... Well, we take the ID and their clothes and leave them tied up in a place in the forest.
Rika - the time has come. Emily. Shit ... They're not two women, they're a couple of men and women.
Emilia - it will have to be themselves, come on.
We stand behind them and put a cloth over their mouths and cover their noses, choking them and passing them out. As soon as they black out, we take them into the forest and, to make sure they haven't died, we splash water on their faces and they show a sign of life. We took their identities and left for the palace. When we get there, we see another politician coming in, giving his identity to the security guard at the entrance to show that it really was him.
Emilia - it was like I thought, the system to get through them, now they just need to believe in us and let us through.
At the door, the security guard approaches us, asking for identities.
Security - identities?
Rika - oh yes, here it is.
He takes the identity.
Security - Stephanie Willians ..? Okay, you can come in. Is that you?
Emilia - eh ... Here ...
I delivered with a little insecurity.
Security - "victor willians" ...?!
Emilia - well it is ... it is ...
Rika - my husband doesn't like to talk about it very much, but ... * whispers * he cut you know what ...
Security - ah… yes, I understand. Well, you can come in.
Rika - thank you very much.
Emilia - thank you ..
Security - Mr. Victor willians !!
Emilia - who-? I say?
Security - whoever did this to you ... did a great job.
He gives me a 'beauty' sign.
Emilia - eh ..? Thanks haha ... * whispers to Rika * I said it would work.
Rika - You're welcome!
Upon entering, we find the reception, she asks who we are.
Reception woman - your names?
Emilia - well ... Sir and Mrs. Willians.
Reception woman - huh? .. Ah, yes ... I think I understand. Well, you can pass, you have a meeting with the president in 10 minutes, if I were you I would wait in his office.
Rika - Suppose we have forgotten where the president's office is ...
After Rika wrapped up the receptionist, we obtained information about the president's office and went straight there. Upon arriving, we came across an old man in front of a blackboard, there were some calculations in it and in the chair beside him was Eleanore.
Eleanore - what are you doing here?
Emilia - Well it is ... that ...
Northern President - So you already know each other? Better this way ... uh ...? Are you the willians?
Rika and I look each other in the face and look back at the president.
Rika - yes, sir.
President of the North - hm… Your voice is a little different from when we don't talk on the phone… And Mr. Willians… That really impressed me, I would never have imagined that about you… Changing the subject, let's get back to business. Everyone, please.
We each sat in a chair around that big glass cage. I look at Eleanore and she looks disappointed. The president presses a button and the whole room goes dark. Soon we see images behind the president.
President of the North - * points to the images * As you can see, he is almost ready, a creature that will be indestructible in the future, sweeping these monsters from our world.
The images showed a huge sleeping creature kept in captivity, with each image that passed the creature seemed to be resting. The creature must be at least 20 meters. His rotten and battered gray skin, with no hair on his body, with huge arms and hands, the physique was that of a very obese monster.
I get up from the chair without believing what I was seeing.
Emilia - what is this ...?
The 'president' turned his attention to me and came over.
President of the north - mr. Willians, this memory problem of yours will end up killing you. As I had already talked to his wife on the phone, "we are creating something, something big. That can bring the extinction of creatures in our world. A creature created in the laboratory, his name is Leviathan."
Emilia - but ...! What if it cannot be controlled?
Northern President: Mr. Willians ... Didn't we have this conversation over the phone before?
Emilia - I honestly don't remember anymore, Mr. President.
President of the North - please call me by my last name. Kagami
Emilia - right, President Kagami
Mr. Kagami - ai ai ... Well, to recap, hunter Eleanore is here only because of her attitude ... and the proposal she made to me.
Rika - and what proposal would that be?
Mr. Kagami - Didn't she tell you? She will join us and, with her support, we will have a better chance of sinking the monsters without needing help from the hunters.
Emilia - * how could she? Did she betray us? Why?! * Mr. President, and what are we going to use to fight the creatures?
President Kagami - by the way, you've forgotten again. Come on, I'll show you our friend.
We leave the room and the president starts to guide us somewhere. I try to get close to Eleanore, but she doesn't leave the president's side, what is she hiding from us ?! After walking a bit, we entered a large room with a huge glass wall, on the other side of that glass was that creature, which they call Leviathan.
Emilia - my god ...
Mr. Kagami - I want you to know "leviathan!"
It didn't seem to have been taken from the monsters outside the walls, it was a sleeping creature with a deformed appearance, this is extremely large, I have no idea what we will do with it.
Mr. kagami - It will bring the extinction of our enemies and, without depending on hunters, we will bring peace to this world.
Emilia - he ... what is he ...?
President kagami - nothing, he is just "the thing" that will bring the peace we deserve, nothing more. A living weapon, created from scratch to obey us, to obey me.
Rika - And what guarantee do we have that he will not lose control and end up attacking innocent people?
Mr. Kagami - Before we release him, we will do tests with living people and monsters.
Emilia - what if people like us die in these tests?
Mr. kagami - sacrifices will have to be made for the good of humanity, this is what makes the world go round, some people will have to fall for others to move on. It has always been like that.
Rika - you are not wrong, sir kagami. One question: when will your tests begin?
Mr. Kagami - We don't have a specific date yet, but the sooner the better. I need it not active as soon as possible. Well, I'll leave you admiring my baby, I'll be right back.
He says goodbye and leaves the room, I approach Eleanore.
Emilia - Eleanore, we need to talk.
Eleanore - he knows ...
Emilia - what? who? What are you talking about? Do not change the subject!
Eleanore - he ...
Eleanore was wide-eyed and her hands were shaking looking at the monster in front of us.
Eleanore - that monster ... He knows.
I look at that and realize that he was looking at us with a look of hate. What is this thing really ?!
