Event Story – SNOW TRICK VACATION! ch.12

[kozvme]

Will: ーAnd that's what happened...

Brad: ......

Oscar: ... In other words, you're saying Akira might have gotten caught in an avalanche?

Will: ......

Oscar: Get your act together, Will. It has not yet been confirmed that he was.

Will: Y- Yes... Sorry and thank you...
Uhm... I'm really sorry for getting out of line...

Oscar: Don't worry about that. Right now we have to focus on making sure Akira's safe.

Will: I... will go looking for him.
I think the line was cut off near the damaged warehouse. If I look around that place...

Oscar: No. I can't let you go.

Will: Huh... Butー

Oscar: Compared to this morning, the weather is getting worse and the sun will set soon. I will take care of this.
You stay here with Brad-sama and wait for my call.

Brad: ... Do you believe that is the best course of action, Oscar?

Oscar: Yes. I cannot take a rookie along in these circumstances.

Brad: Aren't you the most inadequate in terms of mobility under these circumstances, or, rather, among us?

Oscar: Kh...! That is...



Brad: This old Japanese movie I saw a long time ago has a similar story. A story about an army that attempted with force to practice their marching in the middle of winter...
To get straight to the point, all the troops met with an accident.
Your rank does not determine your wisdom if only 10 of 200 soldiers survive in a natural disaster.
A different troop, which was also practicing their marching in the snow, took proper measures and brought a guide: zero people died as a result. That was the story.
It was a movie... based on facts.

ー So, let me ask you again:
Would sending someone unused to snow, let alone what it can cause, be the most prudent course of action?

Oscar: ......

Brad: One is a rookie; the other is not used to the snow.
Fortunately, there is a single hero who is good at skiing and has been to the mountains several times.



Oscar: Are you saying... I should stay here... and let you go, Brad-sama?

Brad: I'm not blaming it on the fact that you're sensitive to cold. Everybody has weaknesses, but that's what teams are for.
Who is best suited to compensate for your weakness at the moment? Shouldn't the priority be finding a team member who can achieve that goal?

Oscar: ......
