257 クロエの決断
アキラとレイナが荒野で交渉を続けていた頃、クロエはリオンズテイル社の施設で険しい表情を浮かべながら頭を抱えていた。
「しくじったわ......。まさかこの短時間で事態がここまで急転するなんてね」
ミハゾノ街遺跡でレイナ達と別れた後、クロエは仕切り直しを兼ねてレイナ達の情報を集め直そうとした。だがその間にリオンズテイル社の上層部からアリスが直々にこちらに向かっているという急報が届いた。
アリスは基本的に本社、東部本店と呼ばれている自社ビルから出てこない。統治企業である都市の外にも余程のことが無い限り出ない。つまり、それほどまでに余程の事態が発生していた。加えてアリスからオリビアの件に対する現場対応指示がクガマヤマ都市周辺の支社に出ていた。これも異例なことだった。
慌てたクロエはすぐにレイナ達への情報収集を中断してオリビアの件の情報収集に全力を尽くした。そしてそちらの情報からレイナ達がオリビアとの接触に成功したことを逆に
「どう考えてもあの後すぐに接触したとしか思えない。レイナにしてやられたか......。何が難航中よ。もう本当にあと少しってところだったじゃない。それに気付けなかった私も私か......」
クロエの側近でもあるラティスが主を気遣いながらも促す。
「お嬢様。気付けなかったのは我々も同じです。ここは彼女の演技を素直に称賛致しましょう。それに上の指示も現地の者で対応しろというもの。必ずしも彼女達に一任された訳ではありません。そしてここは荒野です。
クロエにもラティスの言いたいことはすぐに分かった。顔を更に険しくさせて悩む。だがそう悩み迷ってしまう時点で、その手がかなり有効な手段であり、見込める利益を考えればそれを行使する十分な理由になると認めているのも同然だった。
そしてクロエもこのある意味で途方もない好機を逃したくはなかった。促されたままに決断してしまう。
「パメラ。昨日の今日で前言を翻して悪いけど、手っ取り早い手段をやる必要が出るかもしれないわ。準備しておいて」
パメラは笑って恭しく頭を下げた。
ヒガラカ住宅街遺跡は既に元遺跡と呼んで差し支え無い状態になっていた。以前の旧領域接続装置の発見騒ぎで
ほぼ整地済みの土地と周辺の安全、そして建築資材さえあれば、旧世界の技術を応用した高度な建築技術により建築そのものは短期で済む。その恩恵により、リオンズテイル社の施設は荒野用の防衛設備を整えたしっかりとした建物となっていた。
レイナ達は元遺跡内に新たに敷かれた車両用に舗装済みの道を通ってその施設に向かっていた。クロエに呼び出された場所はそこだったからだ。
レイナが周囲の遺跡だった場所の光景を眺めながら尋ねる。
「ねえシオリ。何で社がこんな場所に新たな施設を建設したのかって知ってる? 遺跡の再開発とまでは言わないけど、結構大掛かりな施設を建てたのよね?」
「以前にここで発見された旧領域接続装置を社が手に入れたと聞きました。その装置を元の場所に設置し直した上で社で使用する
「別の理由って?」
「別の建築計画の移転や前倒し。長期的な事業計画の変更による派閥間の調整。他にもいろいろです。担当地域に新たに大規模な施設が生まれれば、地域の担当者の利権や権限も変わってきますから」
「ああ、そういうこと」
レイナは少し面倒そうな顔を浮かべた。シオリの望みは自分にハンターなど辞めてもらって実家に戻ること。それはレイナも分かっている。そしてオリビアとの一件でそれを一族に認めさせるだけの功績を稼ぎ終えたことも知っている。だからその内にそれとなく促されることも分かっている。
だがそれはある意味で今までは全く関わる必要の無かった一族間の派閥争いに身を投じることでもある。レイナはその苦労も含めて実家に戻ることを余り気乗りしていなかった。
レイナもシオリも長年の付き合いで相手の考えは何となく分かっていた。互いにどう説得しようかと考えながら進んでいた。そこでカナエが声を出す。
「どうしたの?」
「このまま進むと、ちょっとやばいかもしれないっす」
カナエがそう言って施設の出入口前にある広場を指差した。広場は荒野仕様の大型車でも多数
クロエの指示を先読みしていたパメラも部下への追跡指示を中止して当初の配置指示に切り替える。
クロエが笑って答える。
「手っ取り早い手段を使わずに済むなら良いことよ。パメラは残念だった?」
ラティスとパメラがレイナ達を招く準備を手早く進める。テーブルと椅子が組み立てられ、気品の漂うテーブルクロスの上に飲み物が用意される。クロエは椅子に座ると、向かいの空席にレイナが座るのを待った。
呼び出して何の用? 前にも言ったけど忙しいんだけど」
「せっかちね。忙しいと言っても昨日ほどではないんでしょう?」
「それでもこの用事を手短に手っ取り早く終わらせたいぐらいには忙しいわ」
だが、分からなかった。
「どうかしたの? 黙ってるだけなら帰って良い?」
レイナからそう尋ねられたクロエが気を切り替える。分からない相手と交渉できないような日々は送っていない。そう自身に言い聞かせて話を進める。
「レイナも忙しそうだから、手間を省く方法をちょっと考えていただけよ。でもそんなに忙しいのなら要望通り手短に手っ取り早く終わらせましょうか」
「白いカード」
「渡して」
その短い言葉には、余計な読み合い探り合いなどもう不要と告げる脅しに近い意志が込められていた。
アリスからオリビアの件に対して現地の者で対応するようにと指示が出ているが、その現地のリオンズテイル社の者に自力でオリビアと連絡を取れる者などいない。アリスも別にレイナ達に対応を委任した訳ではない。つまり、連絡用のカードを持つ者が今回の件の担当者となる。
社の代表であるアリスを呼び付けることすら可能な存在との
「黙って」
「これは一族同士の話し合いなの。保護者も部外者も口を挟まないでもらえる?」
シオリは奥歯を
「私にとても大きな貸しが出来るわ」
「見合った内容とはとても思えないんだけど?」
「その辺はゆっくり待っていて。そうね、私が派閥の長になって、いずれはオーラム経済圏の支店長になり、そのまま本店の幹部になったら、私の側近ぐらいにはしてあげる。十分な見返りでしょう?」
リオンズテイル社の内部事情を知っている者ならば、普通は妄言に近い大言壮語だと判断する内容だ。だが類い
「悪いけど、そんな言葉で見返りになるとはとても思えないわ。カードを渡せという要求とは釣り合わないわね」
クロエが一度表情を鋭くする。そんなこと出来る訳が無いという判断か、それとも出来たとしても足りないという意味か、相手をじっと見詰めて探ろうとする。しかし分からなかった。そして理由がどちらだとしても続ける言葉は決まっていた。
とらしく意外そうな様子を見せる。
「随分と乱暴な手段を使うのね。私の知らない間に壁の内側もそんな手っ取り早い手段を普通に使うほど物騒になったの?」
クロエが軽く笑って返す。
が知らないだけで前からそうよ? ただ、保有戦力の差から本格的な戦闘が発生しないだけ、一々口に出して分からせる必要も無いだけよ。知らなかったの?」
「知らなかったわ。ありがとう。勉強になったわ」
「どう致しまして。じゃあ、勉強も済んだところだし、勉強の成果を見せる賢い返事を聞かせてもらえる?」
レイナは黙っている。クロエも黙って返事を待っている。しかし
「その沈黙が余り長々と続くようだと、それを無言の拒否と判断せざるを得ないのだけど?」
レイナはそれでも黙っていた。クロエの表情から
クロエも荒事は好まない。だが必要なら行使する。そしてオリビアとの伝が生み出すであろう利権、利益、力は、レイナを殺してでもカードを奪う必要性を十分に満たしていた。相手もそれぐらいは分かっていると思っていたが、分かっていないのであれば仕方無い。そう決断した。
そこでカナエが口を挟む。
「あ、一応言っておくっすけど、お嬢に手を出したら殺すっす」
「4等級のメイド風情が一族の者を殺すとは失礼ね。全く、教育がなってないわ」
カナエの全く悪びれない態度にクロエは
「ラティス。パメラ。彼女は私を殺すそうだけど?」
ラティスが自信に満ちた声で答える。
「そういうことよ。その程度の脅しは脅しにもなってないわ。まあ、本気で言っているのなら、ちゃんと一緒に死なせてあげるからそこは安心して」
カナエはそれでも楽しげに笑っていた。だが急に笑顔を
にクロエもその声を無視は出来なかった。
リオンズテイル社は東部の各地、主に貧困地域から見込みのありそうな子供を勧誘してメイドや執事として訓練し、個人や組織に派遣している。社内の教育機関で育てられた子供達は能力に応じて等級を付けられる。有能な者は大企業の幹部などに派遣される。そこそこの者はそこそこの場所に割り当てられる。
そして4等級は最下級の評価であり、能力不足で外部に派遣など出来ない劣等生の扱いだ。当然、社内での扱いも相応に悪い。
シオリとカナエもこの4等級の者だった。だが単に無能だからという理由で4等級になった訳ではない。総合的に不適格と判断された故の4等級評価だ。
リオンズテイル社は自社への忠誠を重視する。アリスが本来は自動人形で行う業務を人間に行わせる過程で、有能な裏切り者など不要と決めたからだ。
だがシオリはその忠誠心が自社ではなくレイナという個人に集中していた。社内の教育機関はこれを問題視し、シオリを4等級評価とした。
カナエは仕事に対する態度を問題視された。仕事に私情を過剰に混ぜて楽しみすぎる傾向があり、護衛を受けても楽しむ
一族の者とはいえ壁の外に追い出されたのも同然のレイナに2人もメイドが付けられたのは、それが評価に問題のある者だからという理由があった。
だが今のカナエに自身の評価を著しく下げている要素は無い。ある意味で今まで自分の命より優先していた生き
み合わない会話だったが、それを聞いた者は意図を十分に理解した。
カナエがクロエの殺害を最優先にする限り、ラティス達はクロエの生存の
だがクロエには無い。クロエは自分の生存を優先しなければならない。
「ラティス。パメラ。彼女はそう言っているけれど?」
ラティス達は前と同じ返事をした。だが態度までは同じではなかった。4等級の者だということで無意識に覚えていた偏見による過小評価を完全に消し、クロエの側近として
シオリが刀に手を掛ける。抜いてはいないが覚悟は決めている。ラティス達も各々の装備に手を添える。従者達は全員臨戦態勢だ。後は主が交戦の意志を示せば始まる。
主達の沈黙が続く。だが今回はクロエが沈黙を延ばしていた。カードはレイナ達を殺してでも奪う価値がある。自分の命を賭けてでも、殺し合いで出る犠牲を払ってでも得る価値もある。だがそれも勝てればの話だ。ラティス達の返事に
そしてレイナが沈黙を破った。全員の視線が集まる中、カードを取り出してテーブルの上に置くとクロエの方へ滑らせる。
これにより殺し合う理由は無くなった。臨戦の雰囲気が解かれる。だが代わりにどこか困惑した雰囲気が漂い始めた。その中でレイナだけは平静を保っていた。
席を立って戻ろうとするレイナの後を、少し混乱気味のシオリとカナエが続こうとする。そこでクロエがレイナを呼び止める。
「渡す気ならさっさと渡せば良かったでしょう? 何の
「......そう。まあ良いわ。素直に渡したんだから。貸しの方は期待して待っていなさい」
「そんなの不要よ。勝手なこと言わないで」
「どういう意味?」
「カードは嫌なら私はおろかシオリやカナエまで殺すと告げられて脅し取られたんだもの。だから仕方無く渡したの。貸しなんかにして、勝手に取引にしないで。じゃあね」
レイナが立ち去っていく。シオリとカナエはどこか
クロエはレイナ達の姿が視界から消えると大きく息を吐いた。そして流していた冷や汗に気付くとそれを自然な仕草で拭う。
ラティスが軽く礼をして答える。
パメラも恭しく答える。
「当然ですが傷を負うのは我々で御座います。お嬢様は無傷でお守り致します。ご安心下さい」
Ch 257
Around the time Akira was meeting with Reina's group in the middle of the wasteland, Chloe was agonizing with a frustrated expression inside one of Lion Steel's facilities.
"That was a blunder... To think that the situation changed so much in such a short span of time."
After she left Mihazono ruin, Chloe returned back to gather more information about Reina as well as to reorganize her plan. But in the middle of that, she suddenly received an emergency message that Alice would be coming there soon.
Alice normally would never leave the main HQ of the eastern district branch. As long as there was nothing big, she would never leave that place. So, in short, something big must have happened. Furthermore, Alice had also issued an order for the branch office of Kugamayama city and its surrounding area to take care of the matter with Olivia for the time being. This too was a huge abnormality.
Chloe panicked and stopped any investigation regarding Reina's group, instead, she directed all her resources to investigate Olivia. That was when she found out that Reina's group had made contact with Olivia.
"No matter how you look at it, the only chance they could have contacted Olivia was right after that happened. She really outplayed me... Although she said that she was having trouble with it, she was that close to contacting Olivia, huh? To think that I didn't even notice..."
Latis, who was her butler, tried to cheer her master up.
"Milady. We were also unable to notice that. That is just how good her acting skill is. The order from Alice-sama was to all staff around the area, so it was not directed specifically to them. We're in the middle of the wasteland, so we still have that option available to us."
Chloe quickly understood what Latis was trying to say. Her eyebrows furrowed even more as she looked even more troubled. But hesitating also showed that she started to consider the viability of that option and admitted that they had enough reason to execute it.
Moreover, Chloe did not want to let this chance, which would never come by her again for the second time, getaway. So, she approved Latis' suggestion.
"Pamela, I'm sorry to say this although I said it to you yesterday, but it seems that there's a need to deal with this matter swiftly. so get everyone ready."
Pamela smiled and gracefully bowed.
The situation in Higaraka residence ruin had completely returned to normal. The crowd that flooded the ruin from the old-world terminal rumour had mostly left the site. It was no longer a ruin that Hunters would regularly visit in search of relics.
With the area already secured to some extent, as long as they could transport materials, with building technology of the current era, it did not take that much time to fully erect such a facility. Thanks to that, Lion Steel could construct a very well-defended building in the middle of the wasteland without hiccups.
Reina's group rode their vehicle through the road built to connect to that facility. It was the location where Chloe said she wanted to meet her.
Reina looked around the area, which was a mere dilapidated ruin in the past and asked Shiori a question.
"Say, Shiori. Do you know why the company decided to build a facility here of all places? It's big enough to fully revitalize the area."
"I've heard that our company bought the old-world terminals found on this site. It seems that they're planning to use the site again after reinstalling the terminals at their original location. It would not be wise to utilize such devices away from where they were found. Some of them were area locked for the sake of safety. But, even under such considerations, I think even a small facility would do. I bet they have another reason why they erected such a big building."
"Another reason?"
"Maybe it's to prepare for another facility or something similar? Maybe it's for a long-term plan? A change to readjust the relations between each faction. There are many possibilities. After all, if a large facility is built in a certain area, the one who is responsible for that area would gain more influence and privileges."
"Ohh, so that's it, huh?"
Reina seemed to hate the topic. But Shiori's wish was for Reina to quit working as a Hunter and return back to the main house. Reina, who had established a connection to Olivia, finally had enough achievement to be reinstated. That was why she knew it was only a matter of time before she would hear more about this.
But that also meant that she would be once again shoved into the in-fighting between factions that she avoided up until now. With that in mind, she had no wish to return back to the main house.
Both Reina and Shiori had been together for a long time, that was why they understood each other. Both were thinking of how to convince the other. That was when Kanae suddenly said something.
"What's wrong?"
"It might be pretty dangerous if we keep going like this."
Kanae pointed at the opening located in front of the entrance to the facility. The opening seemed to be just like any other spot in the wasteland, it was big enough to park several big vehicles, as a matter of fact, there were multiple vehicles parked there at this very moment. But all of them were parked so as not to get in Reina's way, moreover, there were maids and butlers that might be from Chloe's side standing ready to welcome Reina's group.
Pamela, who had guessed what Chloe was going to say, stopped her men from moving toward Reina and ordered them to return back to their posts.
Chloe smiled and replied.
"It's good that we can solve this without having to resort to that. Or do you find it unfortunate instead, Pamela?"
Latis and Pamela quickly started preparing to welcome Reina's group. They set up the tables and the chairs, placed a tablecloth on top of the table, and served some refreshments. Chloe sat on her chair and waited for Reina's group to come to her.
"So then, why did you want to meet me? As I said before, I'm busy, you know?"
"Geez, don't say that. Although you said you're busy, you're not as busy as yesterday, right?"
"True, but still, I'm busy enough to tell you to finish this up as soon as possible."
However, she could not come up with anything.
"What's wrong? If you have nothing to say, I'm leaving."
Since Reina stated so, Chloe did not have any other choice but to change her approach. She reminded herself that it was not like this was her first time negotiating with someone about whom she had insufficient information.
"Well, it seems that you're busy, so I've been thinking about how to make it quick. But if you're really that busy, let's finish this right away then."
"White card."
"Give it to me."
With such short but clear words. There was no need for any more questions. It was obviously a threat as well as a warning.
Although Alice's order was for the staff on the field to handle the matter with Olivia, there was no Lion Steel staff in the area who could contact Olivia on their own. But it was not like Alice said that it was an order specifically for Reina's group. This meant that it was directed to anyone who had that card, which could be used to contact Olivia.
Anyone who had that card would even be able to call for the head representative of the company, Alice. It could even be said that they would be a pivotal person that would decide the future of the company, as such, everyone in the area was stirred to make their moves.
"Silence!"
"This is between two members of the family, so an outsider like you should not interfere."
Shiori closed her mouth and gritted her teeth. Even putting aside the difference in their positions, Shiori was not in the position to be scolding Chloe. Moreover, if a mere escort like her crossed the line, it would cause trouble for Reina, who was trying to stand up as her deserving master. Because of that, Shiori managed to hold herself back.
"I'll say that I'll be deeply indebted to you."
"That doesn't sound like a good deal to me."
"Well, you should wait for a bit. Let's see, once I become the head of the faction, one day, I'll be the head of the main branch in the Aurum economic zone, and eventually, I'll become the officer of the main HQ. I'll put you somewhere nearby, doesn't that sound great?"
For those who knew the inner workings of the Lion Steel company, that sounded like nothing but a dream. But as long as they had the talent and were able to make good use of it, it was not an impossible feat to achieve. Moreover, Chloe was being serious when she said so. This was important since even if one was prideful, not just anyone could accomplish what she had claimed to. No one could reach that position without the strong resolve to use their utmost talent, and resources to reach that goal. And she knew that very well.
"I'm sorry, but I still don't think it's a good enough offer. It doesn't give me enough reason to give you the white card."
Chloe's gaze turned sharp. She locked eyes with Reina, trying to discern whether it was because Reina had no wish to hand over the card at all costs or if it was simply because the offer was not good enough. However, she still could not find anything. Either way, it did not matter what was the answer to her question, she had already decided on what to say next.
Reina faked a surprised expression and reaffirmed.
"You would even go for violence, huh? I don't know what's going on but, are non-peaceful, fast solutions becoming the new norm inside the wall or something?"
Chloe lightly smiled.
"Oh, it has always been, you just don't know about it. The difference in their military power made it such that no real full-blown battle happened yet. There's also no need to even say it out loud, you know? Don't tell me you honestly did not know?"
"Unfortunately, no. Thanks for letting me know."
"You're very welcome. Well then. Now that you're done learning, this would be a good time to show the result of what you have learned. So, what's your answer?"
Reina did not say anything, Chloe also only waited without saying anything as well. The silence continued only to be broken by Chloe later.
"If this silence continues any further, I will interpret it as a no."
Reina still did not say anything, Chloe's smile vanished.
Chloe did not like violence, but she would not hesitate when it was necessary. Moreover, the influence, profit, and power that she could gain from getting a connection with Olivia were more than enough of a reason to get that card even if it meant that she had to kill Reina. She thought that Reina would also understand that, but if she did not. Then it was not like she could do anything about it.
That was when Kanae interjected.
"Ah, just to let you know, if you try to hurt Milady, I'll kill you."
"A mere Rank-4 maid speaking about killing one of the main house's members. How rude. Good grief. You really need more education."
Although Kanae said so, she did not seem apologetic at all. So, Chloe then exasperatedly said.
"Latis, Pamela, did you hear that? She said that she's going to kill me."
Latis confidently replied.
"So, there you have it. That level of threat won't even work even as a mere bluff. Well, if you still insist, I'll send your Milady with you to the afterlife, so don't worry."
But even so, Kanae was still smiling with excitement. But her smile suddenly twitched, she then rubbed her head with one of her hands and sighed.
As expected, Chloe could not ignore it.
Lion Steel company searched all over the eastern area for talented children, mostly from the poor areas, and trained them to be butlers and maids. They were then sent to various organizations and individuals. These children were ranked during their training depending on their performance. Those who had exceptional talents were sent to high-level individuals such as officials from large corporations. While those who were rather average were dispatched to different places.
Rank-4 was the lowest rank. They were treated as failed products that were not even to be sent outside the corporation. Of course, they were also not treated well even inside the corporation.
Both Shiori and Kanae were Rank-4. But that was not because they were incompetent. The evaluation of their total performance was considered unsatisfactory. Thus, they were given their Rank-4 evaluation.
Lion Steel placed an emphasis on loyalty to the main corporation. After all, the current era's Lion Steel company was using humans in place of automatons. Thus, they did not need anyone that offered less than total loyalty. With children basically saved from poverty, they normally felt indebted toward the corporation and were extremely loyal.
But Shiori's loyalty was not toward the corporation but toward Reina. As such, the corporation saw that as a huge problem and evaluated her as Rank-4.
As for Kanae, her problem was her attitude toward her duty. She had the tendency of getting her personal feelings mixed in her work and instead prioritized her enjoyment. No matter how good she was, if she hoped for her escort target to get attacked, it was only natural for her to be evaluated as Rank-4.
The reason why Reina was accompanied by those 2 maids although she was kicked out of the family and exiled outside the inner well was because both Kanae and Shiori were Rank-4 servants.
But this time, Kanae was not showing any attitude that would lower her evaluation any further. In other words, rather than prioritizing having fun over the safety of her escort target, which she had been doing up until now, she was doing the opposite. Her aura was indicating that she was willing to stop playing and her job seriously. To quickly remove her opponents for Reina's safety.
Although their conversation did not exactly connect, people who heard that exchange had no problem understanding what was going on.
As long as Kanae focused on Chloe, Chloe's servants would have no other choice but to focus on defending their master instead of killing their opponent. That way, they would have no leeway to focus on Reina. They would not even have the chance to capture Reina and use it to threaten Kanae. Any attempt other than that would take more time and manpower which meant the higher the chance Kanae would get Chloe first.
But that was not the case for Chloe. She had to prioritize her own life.
"You heard her, Latis, Pamela?"
Latis and Pamela returned the exact same replies. But their expressions were not the same as before. The mockery that they had toward Rank-4 servants from before was no longer present. They were exerting an aura that was suitable for their position, Chloe's closest servants, as they looked at Kanae with a sharp gaze filled with killing intent.
Shiori reached for her blade, although she had not unsheathed it, she had already made her resolve. Latis and the other servants also prepared themselves for a fight. They were ready to start anytime and were just waiting for the signal from their master.
The silence continued. But this time it was Chloe who was extending the silence. The card had enough value for her to kill Reina's team. She would even be willing to pay the price and risk her own life to get that card. But that was assuming that she would win the fight. She did not think that Latis and Pamela were lying to her. But she also did not feel any lies in Kanae's words. One of them must be mistaken, but if she tried to confirm it and it turned out that Latis and Pamela were the ones who were mistaken, she would without a doubt be the one who dies. Fear from that caused her to hesitate.
Reina was the one who broke the silence. Everyone turned toward Reina. She then took out the card, put it on the table, and slid it toward Chloe.
With this, there was no longer any reason to fight. The tense mood was dispelled. Instead, everyone started to look rather confused. In the midst of that atmosphere, Reina then calmly said.
As Reina swiftly stood up and left, Shiori and Kanae followed behind her while still looking rather confused. But Chloe suddenly stopped her.
"If you were planning to give it away from the start, you could've done it sooner. What's your game here?"
"...I see. Well, it doesn't matter since you've just handed it over to me. You can look forward to your reward."
"I don't need it. I've never said anything about accepting your offer."
"What do you mean?"
"You took that card from me by threatening to kill Shiori and Kanae as well as me. That's why I had no other choice but to give up that card. It's not like I'm giving that card to you because I accepted your offer or anything like that. Later then."
Reina then left the place, Shiori and Kanae seemed rather happy as they followed behind her.
As Reina's group was no longer visible, Chloe sighed. She noticed the cold sweat running down her face and wiped it off.
Latis lightly bowed.
Pamela politely added.
"But don't worry, Milady. We'll be the ones hurt. We would make sure that Milady would be perfectly safe and sound."
