“The provocation against Japan was novel.”
When I entered the Blue House, it was the first word I heard from the president.
I felt puzzled.
“Isn’t that a provocation?”
[Did you think you wouldn’t be offended by that? It’s really great.]
I don’t know what you’re talking about. He said he would help if he wanted to catch Nakayama.
“Didn’t it just provoke a lot of noise recently with Japan?”
“It’s not like that. And everyone may have a different opinion. Responsibility is on each one. It’s not something I’m going to take the lead and complain about.”
“That is also true. I was really worried about the Prime Minister, but I was twisting my mind.”
“Still, I think he’s a communicative person.”
“That’s right.”
“There are a lot of people in the world, but I think there are fewer people who can speak than you think.”
“right. Still, you’re trying to spit this out a little, right?”
“Yes?”
I had no idea what the president meant by saying that. He said with a playful smile.
“I was wondering if I could take the worries of our Choi Jun-ho, even when I’m not feeling well.”
“Of course I am concerned. I am also willing to bring you a great medicine.”
“To what extent?”
“If there is anything I can save, I will save it.”
Which one is good for your body? It is said that among the monsters, special parts are good for energy recovery. Perhaps the best among them is the heart of a divine beast?
[Are you kidding me?]
uh, kidding. It’s ok to be funny with a joke.
The president’s expression softened as if he was satisfied with my answer. Then he didn’t mention anything related to Nakayama to me anymore.
This is why I feel comfortable with the president now. don’t make people uncomfortable I know that you have different opinions than me, but I have been able to win the favor of others while maintaining an appropriate line.
On the other hand, Cheon Myeong-guk felt a little stricter. That doesn’t make me uncomfortable, but I needed to learn a bit about the softness of the president’s camouflage.
“It’s a secret from Director Cheon, but this incident was quite surprising.”
“What part are you talking about?”
“In order to have power, the will of the party is very important. I thought that was what Director Chun lacked, but I didn’t know that he would change as soon as he made up his mind.”
“Because power is good.”
“right. I might have softened up after coming to the Blue House and preparing for retirement.”
I was puzzled by the bitter smile.
“Is that wrong?”
If you’ve worked hard all this time, wouldn’t it be good to take a break?
[Then why don’t you rest too?]
I have a different story. The world is wide and there are many people to kill. And if you don’t get rid of the guy you step on, you’ll get hives, so it’s better to deal with it even if it bothers you.
[Yes, you are good, you are good.]
Yong-yong, you’re saying something new.
“In a country called South Korea, the president has a lot of symbolism even after his tenure is over, and he is a powerful person in and of itself. It’s a pity that I couldn’t show my thoroughness until the end.”
“I have a different opinion.”
“yes?”
“There are very few people who can achieve this level of achievement. Under the same circumstances, under the same conditions, the President produced the best results. After all that hard work, wouldn’t it be possible to live comfortably after retirement?”
“… … .”
The president looked at me blankly. Then he shook his head and gave a look of disappointment.
“… I heard a lot of unexpected things today. I’m still stumped.”
“Is that so.”
“No one ever told me that I could rest in peace. You hear the most unexpected things from the most unexpected people.”
“Because everyone has a time to burn. I think it’s too much of a demand for the president to burn more than this.”
The spirit of Franz is also bubbly, but he is old and has retired and has a leisurely life, so there is no reason why the president can’t do it.
And unlike the Awakened, there are plenty of people to replace in the political arena.
The president has created a great substitute for Cheon Myeong-guk, and is still developing him. Then you deserve a break.
The president expressed his gratitude with a more relaxed expression.
“Thank you. You will receive such comfort.”
“It’s nothing.”
“After hearing this, there’s one thing I’m curious about.”
“What is it?”
“When are you most burned?”
“Me? I haven’t burned it yet. Why?”
Hearing my words, the president’s expression turned white and he was sweating in a cold sweat.
“Shall I call the doctor?”
“No, I haven’t been feeling well for a while. Don’t worry, the chill will go away soon.”
“Such.”
I think I’m not in good shape because I’m suffering from heavy duty. I was just holding on to it and making it difficult.
[You really don’t know why a president human reacts like that?]
If you know, would you answer
[Everyone knows except you?]
Shinsu, a young kid who just came out of the human world, pretends to know.
Yong-yong didn’t tell me in the end.

My invitation to Japan was rejected.
Even when I went a while ago, after trying to catch me, my attitude changed.

Meanwhile, the media was still talking about my relationship with Nakayama.
“It’s a trick to scratch the image of Choin-nim.”
Jin Se-jeong said to me with a confident expression.
“Are you going to scratch something like that?”
“Whoever believes will believe what they say. We hear only what we want to see and put only what we want to see.”
“You can’t even change the thoughts of those people.”
People’s thoughts do not change easily.
It’s easier to just break your head.
“I intend to do that, but it won’t be easy.”
“okay?”
“Yes, Choin-nim is the type of person who responds positively and often conducts interviews that penetrate the essence. In a way, the intention to stimulate the imagination with a complicated twist is stranded there.”
I never really thought about it and said it.
Well, that’s up to interpretation.
I replied calmly that I had the same intention.
“In the future, this kind of slander towards Superin-nim will only get worse.”
“Do they have multiple heads?”
“It’s one. But people are good at forgetting, and if it’s not their business, they ignore it. That is the reason why people keep appearing in front of Superin.”
It is said that the reason why similar groups appear is that they are indifferent if it is not their own business and that I will be special.
I mean, it’s smart, but it’s stupid.
“If you keep working on it, I don’t think it will show up one day.”
“I wish I did.”
“Is there anything you are concerned about?”
“This special prosecutor will take a huge hit on the ruling party.”
“It’s the same idea.”
“Then the opposition will be upset. And here, I watched Choin-nim’s fear only from the side.”
“It’s a story that I haven’t experienced firsthand.”
“Yeah, so I could be wrong.”
Come to think of it, that statement is not wrong. When I think back on the guys I’ve killed in the meantime, the guys who died while acting stupid were overwhelmingly more highly educated, wealthy and honorable than villains who didn’t learn anything.
They had a sense of privilege of their own, so they believed in it, and they were hooked.
There’s no way the opposition can’t do that.
“When the time comes, we can deal with it.”
“yes.”
Although I am impressed with political tactics these days, the most foolish thing in the world is the false belief that the opponent will not directly use force while believing in political craftsmanship.

After visiting the Blue House, I received calls from various places. This is all because of what Nakayama did.
Even when I went home, Yoon-hee, who was watching a drama, looked at me and kicked her tongue asking if she had extended her magic to Japan.
“Did I do it?”
“It remains.”
“Now I trust Japanese reporters more than my real brother.”
“At least, the story of someone getting injured and dying is the least trusted by my brother.”
Yoon-hee, I wasn’t even thinking about the possibility that I wasn’t related.
It’s embarrassing, but it’s also true, so there’s no point in refusing it.

Maybe he has eyes to see unexpectedly?
Even while talking to me, he showed his ability to play different dramas on all four 75-inch TVs. Humans are adaptive animals, but they were great.
[I heard you say that you train your visual acuity by talking to yourself earlier?]
would that be
[I don’t know, I said yes. If you don’t want to listen, you close your ears.]
Yong-yong, who is getting more and more squeaky, is very, very annoying.
I kicked my tongue lightly and went out to the playground of the apartment complex and called out to the poor guy who had been following me before and waiting in front of the house.
“Are you here to apologize?”
Nakayama appeared in front of me. Just by looking at this guy, I can’t seem to hear anyone else’s words. The boy looked at me with bewildered eyes and said.
“What should I apologize for?”
“Are you thinking of making me annoyed and then I’ll just move on?”
“That was my fault. I never thought about it.”
… Should I hit one and hand it over to Japan?
Do you think this will dispel all doubts about me? just hit?
After a moment of serious contemplation, he said that the information I had given was true, and expressed his gratitude in a voice that was not grateful at all.
“So I will go to the International Mercenary Corps.”
“Aren’t you going to the league?”
“If we run into each other, will you spare me?”
“No way.”
“I know that life is precious in a position where I almost died again and again. I don’t want to be hostile to you, so I want to become a mercenary.”
He’s got a good sense of smell when it comes to survival. If it is an international mercenary, it is a recognized organization in the world, and it is evaluated as an organization with public trust, such as intervening in various conflicts or helping to hunt monsters.
The presence of a superman will raise the status of the international mercenary corps a little bit.
“So, did you come all the way here to report it?”
“no. You helped save my life, so I’m here to give you useful information.”
“Useful information? To me?”
“okay.”
Even though I didn’t have any faith, Nakayama’s voice contained certainty.
Are you trying to create a little bit of anticipation?
“Did you know that Japan and Korea became noisy a while ago?”
“know.”
There was a time when Japan suddenly quarreled over Dokdo, and the news was buzzing around.
Come to think of it, I heard that Dahyun Jeong also sensed a strange air current in Dokdo, but what is there?
Nakayama put a wedge here.
“There are remnants of the divine beast.”
“… … !”
[what?]
Honestly, this surprised me. Yong-yong, who was next to him, was startled as he shook his tail so much that he couldn’t see it.
Is it the remnant of a divine beast on Dokdo? This means the essence of the divine beast.
Nakayama was satisfied with my reaction and continued speaking.
“To be precise, it is a remnant of a divine beast, not a remnant of a divine beast.”
“Are you joking with me now?”
“No, it’s because it’s real. The remnants of a divine beast refer to those of a divine beast, but the only difference is that these are artificially created remnants of a divine beast.”
“made?”
Nakayama began to explain the remains of the artificial divine water.
Briefly, the Japanese government accidentally succeeded in acquiring the by-product of the divine beast, and carried out a project to fuse it with the heart of a plus-stage monster.
The result is half success. It created the remains of a divine beast that condensed tremendous power, but it caused unexpected side effects.
“What side effects?”
“The demons were drawn by the power.”
[It smells delicious, of course!]
Embarrassed, the government tried to seal the remains of the artificial divine water and move the research center to continue the research.
The problem was that it was lost by a monster during transportation.
“And while the monster was running away, it couldn’t withstand the runaway power and exploded, and the remnants of the divine beast sank in the sea?”
“As far as I know, yes.”
I didn’t believe it because I hadn’t seen it in person.
“I think it would have been like this.”
“What do you mean?”
“Even if it was sealed, the probability of it being completely sealed would be low, and since the monsters keep getting entangled, wouldn’t the Japanese government think like this? They say, ‘We’re getting stronger these days, so we’re getting along, but it’s difficult when we get stronger, so let’s feed Korea a giant big candy.'”
“It’s a guess!”
“I was just making a hypothesis.”
[Are you going to write a novel now?]
It seems that Yong-yong was more attracted to the latter than the former. Actually, what I thought would be more plausible if there was malicious intent to ruin the opponent.
“Does that mean you want me to recall?”
“okay. Now, behind the scenes, the government is struggling to retrieve it.”
It’s an interesting story.
As I saw the essence of the divine water at Hallasan, I wanted to see how much it mimicked.
and.
If I say I’m not going, Yong-yong will be very excited to go.
[no it’s not?]
I did it knowing that even if I pretended not to, it wouldn’t work.
“This is interesting information. Let’s investigate soon.”
“I am satisfied with that.”
“I gave this amount of information, but I think I have to repay it. Give me a present.”
“gift? Thank you.”
Then he stares at me.
I put on a puzzled look.
“What are you doing, aren’t you going?”
“What do you mean?”
[A gift?]
Don’t you understand what my gift is?
It’s like these ignorant things.
I clicked my tongue.
“You saved me.”
