“… … .”
After the conversation with the president, I came out of the Blue House and fell into thoughts.
Today’s conversation was a moment to think about quite a lot.
After all, do you have to be extraordinary to become the president of a country? The president pinpointed exactly what parts he was worried about and where I could be out of focus. If you point it out like this once, there is no sudden rush, so steam will not run out and it will not overheat.
Normally I would share this conversation and get some advice, but this time I didn’t want to.
I didn’t want to share the thoughts I had in my last life and the changes I felt myself.
but.
What part of the conversation did you think the president was the only mistake?
“I think the attachment I have is lower than I thought.”
I looked around. Seoul, South Korea, is a city that has been completely reconstructed after a monster attack. Most of the monsters were hunted before they even approached Seoul, and as countless people gathered, their former glory was restored.
This place, which has now become one of the best cities in the world, is the place I have longed for in my last life.
Being pursued as a villain never lets you enjoy the comforts of civilization.
No matter how much you airlift what you need on the black market, the relentless pursuit makes that even temporary.
Chun Myung-guk did it really well. Such a person is aiming for the next president’s seat.
When he was a bloodbath, he vowed to twist his neck whenever he saw Cheon Myeong-guk, but now that he is helping him, the fate of a human being is very interesting.
Having gone through that process, I am more aware of the importance of civilization than anyone else.
“I can’t let go of that preciousness with my hands.”
There will be no conflicts as the President feared.
The existence of a nation is like a living organism. Although they are slow moving, if you can listen and reflect my opinions, I will be happy to partner with you.
“The chase is boring.”
Well, if you think about it differently, I don’t think I’m going to be pursued after I’ve become much stronger than I was in my last life. Rather, it seems easier to get rid of all the enemies and take over Seoul.
… Does it really look possible?
If you think that way, does it seem like you don’t need to be patient?
“Isn’t this?”
I headed to my parents’ house, thinking that the president would have been horrified to hear. I was on a business trip these days, so I was forced to call.
But the smell of soybean paste stew filled the house made me forget all my emotions.
The first lady’s soybean paste stew might be better in terms of taste, but there was a wall that nothing could overcome in the taste of my mother, who had accumulated memories since childhood.
I still had a longing to try my mother’s soybean paste stew once again when I was a hematoma.
The seasoning of earnestness is a better seasoning than anything else.
“Aren’t you eating right? why are you so dry Eat a lot.”
“I have a lot of work these days.”
“What are you doing so much?”
“Even though it looks like this, they are using great power for world peace.”
Is it because of force smelting? The feelings that had slipped in the past had completely disappeared.

My mother looked at me and sighed deeply.
“No matter how good you look.”
“Does it look weird?”
“I’m just not used to it.”
“What?”
“Everyone around me was worried about finding a job for my son, but my son is a superhuman recognized by the world.”

My mother’s attitude when she said something was subtle.
Is it so strange for a child to be a successful superman?
“Can’t you believe it?”
“I believe. I’m not used to it Do you know how crazy the locals are?”

My mother said that it was difficult to meet people because of all kinds of requests from offer to standing.
Sooner or later, I’ll have to organize the traffic once.
After dinner, I drank coffee and chatted with my father.
“The flow of politics is very complicated.”

My father said that since I disappeared and then appeared, the political and business worlds are in outrageous chaos. In particular, as a large number of business people were arrested in the wake of the Awakened Brainwashing, the chaos shows no sign of easing.
Is there any problem? After all, power does not allow voids. Even if those who did bad things are taken away, there are plenty of people who can take their place.
“The ruling party suffered a huge blow, which was a boon for the opposition. But I don’t think we will let the president change the regime like this.”
“Even though the ruling party is having a hard time, do you see it that way?”
“Isn’t it difficult for the ruling party and not for the Blue House?”
I’m not an expert, but my father’s eyes are quite good. The president said something similar. The ruling party suffered a major blow, but there is something to see separately from the Blue House.
The intentional drawing of that line is the foundation of the President. Dad saw it right.
“I think the president’s compounding plan is probably in the Blue House.”
“Do you see it that way?”
“Otherwise, we will not allow the ruling party to suffer a blow that is close to collapsing. There is a high probability that there is a successor chosen by him within the Blue House. And I’m sure I know you well.”

My father, who was talking to me as if thinking about me, suddenly called out my name.
“Director Cheon Myeong-guk, right?”
“Right. Are you great?”
“… I said it was a low-probability but high-probability plan, but I don’t think it will really go ahead.”

My father shook his head, but he stuck out his tongue at the president’s boldness.
I just looked at it from the side and thought it was great, but it must have been a more drastic decision than that.
“Do you think there is a possibility that Director Cheon will become president?”
“Normally, I would say no, but if it has anything to do with you, there is a possibility.”
What does it mean to be related to me?
Seeing my puzzled expression, my father grinned.
“You don’t know the premium that your existence brings. It has the power to turn a person who has no presence in politics into a presidential candidate at once.”
But being close to me is not the only positive thing.
“Sometimes that can be a fatal weakness.”
Opposition parties are also aiming for hosi-tam-tam.
“Then do you want to get along?”
“Is that possible?”
“Of course not.”
“Then let’s do what we do. I am doing well now.”
“Yes.”
“by the way.”

My father, who was staring at me, clicked his tongue briefly.
“Chief Cheon Myeong-guk is pitiful.”
He didn’t answer why he said that.

My personal hope is to hunt down the two-horned monster that will appear in Europe first, and then catch the thunderbird.
As he went through a lot of trial and error while dealing with the Thunderbird, he raised his experience to the level of maturity as a new two-horned monster and then confronted the Thunderbird.
It seems that he himself values Shinsoo highly, but the overwhelming power that Yong-yong showed is still vivid in my mind.
Thunderbird would be comparable to that, so I wanted to face it myself in a finished state.
If the divine beast is in a corner, will he show his survival instinct like other monsters?
And what kind of reaction will Yong-yong, who is unusually fond of the same divine beast, react when he sees the result of the confrontation?
Just thinking about it makes it interesting.
“The timing has to be right.”
The only thing is that I can’t wait ten thousand years for a two-horned monster to appear in Europe.
I was going to wait up to a year to refine myself before making a decision.
In fact, the probability that a two-horned monster will appear within a year is less than 1%.
As for the story of his last life, this is because there were no two-horned monsters in Europe at this time.
However, as many changes have occurred in the world since I appeared, the possibility of my appearance cannot be ruled out. While waiting for that, I plan to digest the gifts I’ve gotten so far.
“It’s ambiguous.”
However, it felt awkward to expect the appearance of a two-horned monster for my personal satisfaction.
The fact that you think like this is proof that you have become normal.
I decided not to think long.
It’s because I didn’t create Pandemonium like China did, I was just dealing with monsters that would appear naturally.
If it doesn’t show up, that would be a good thing.
“I’m not sure, but Berserker will take care of it… … .”
Still, I can’t be vigilant, so I’ll catch it and roll it so that I can increase my monster hunting ability.
If I went to Europe, I was going to leave the dog with me.
The idea was that the Berserker would prepare for the monsters and the dog would protect the family from a short distance.
After Mandeuk and Gwangshim finish their education on Smelting, all that’s left is to mobilize Smelting to consolidate and abolish the gifts.
As it is force smelting, I am thinking about whether it will be possible to integrate mines and controls.
That way, there will be one seat left, and the range of choices will increase.
I wish Mandeuk and Gwangsim moved a little faster, but it feels like it takes longer than I thought.
Well, except for this, everything was going so smoothly that I felt a sense of incongruity.
Until all of a sudden, the news hits the headlines.
It was a shocking announcement from the opposition party, which had earlier elected the presidential candidate in a single line.
＜Opposition presidential candidate Hyun Young-mi, “Awakened people need control… … .”＞
＜”The Awoken’s indiscretion causes chaos.” Presidential Candidate Hyun Young-mi’s Reasonable Decision!＞
＜Are you under Awakened Control? The opposition party’s presidential election strategy is expected to cause massive chaos!＞
The target of the opposition was no one else, but me.
What are we going to do with this now? Do you want to give it a try?
* * *
News released by the opposition party quickly covered the Republic of Korea.
No matter how much I thought about it, the target they were targeting was me.
It’s a bad feeling, but I’m curious as well.
I thought the ruling party would have a stronger antagonism towards me, so why is the opposition party going on a rampage?
Lee Se-hee evaluated this behavior as follows.
“Even in the opposition, I bet everything.”
“Bet?”
“yes. This is a strategy to attract the maximum number of class members Junho Choi. It’s a firm way to divide the enemy, but it must have been the option that seemed most likely to be successful for them.”
According to Lee Se-hee, the reason the opposition party uses this strategy is that no matter how much they use their dragons, they cannot get closer than me and the ruling party.
This is because of the hostility towards the attitude I have shown to the political world.
“I saw that if you bring people who think Junho’s actions have crossed the line, you have a chance to win.”
“… … .”
“Junho alone can protect the Republic of Korea, but it’s the same one vote in the vote.”
“Great.”
“I didn’t just target Junho. We lost a lot in this way.”
I thought that politics is a work of diligently rolling one’s head.
At the same time, I think I know why it came out like that.
But I didn’t want to stand still.
“I got hit with one shot, so I’m going to have to counterattack.”
“yes? Are you going to counter this?”
“Then why don’t you just leave it alone?”
“It’s a political matter, so if you leave it alone, the other side will take care of it… … .”
“Do you think the ruling party will stand up for me?”
“… … .”
This time, Se-hee Lee was speechless. Yes, even in the ruling party, there are not many people who like me, so there is no way I can fight back against this kind of action by the opposition party.
If so, that was the problem I had to deal with.
“What do you want to do?”
“I don’t think it’s okay to wipe them all out just because they feel bad.”
“Of course it is!”
“As a democratic citizen, we must mobilize peaceful methods.”
“Are you thinking of anything?”
Why do you think I’m saying I won’t think?
As I stared at him, Se-hee Lee smiled awkwardly.
“I’m curious to see what kind of compounding Junho has.”
“Isn’t the best thing to tell people that it is better for the ruling party to take power?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Would you say that if the opposition party seizes power, they will play a game?”
“It’s a bit… … .”
Lee Se-hee’s face became contemplative.
this can’t be done
“Then I would like to support political funds.”
“In Korea, there is a fixed amount for individual donations.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s in kind.”
Lee Se-hee was shocked when I told him that I currently have 50 or so hearts of 8-level monsters.
Come to think of it, Yoon-hee was also shocked when she saw this while keeping it at home.
“Not even the heart of a harmful level 8 monster. It’s also regulated.”
“okay?”
“yes. How many chaebols come up with to avoid taxes? Of course, I tried money laundering by turning cash into a core. This also caught the eye of the system. congratulations anyway By that number, Junho is the richest person in Korea.”
I don’t think it’s a very proud title.
By the way, you are regulating the heart of a monster. Just in case I asked, the plus step is the same.
“Then what about the horns?”
“Plus plus stage? It has only appeared once, and… ah! no way?”
“It’s about not being regulated.”
I didn’t save much because the Panthers self-destructed, but I have some in my hands.
This will be worth the call.
It’s not regulated, so it looks like a good way to show my will.
“Yes, of course there will be an investigation, but the National Tax Service will also be under the control of the Blue House.”
“Then I will have to do this.”
Seeing that the election is already ignited with a year and a half left in the election, it seems like he doesn’t really like me.
The threat of leaving the country if the opposition is elected seems too clichéd, and I am just going to use what I have to sabotage the opposition.
Even if it is illegal anyway, if Cheon Myeong-guk is elected, it will be enough.
Wasn’t he given the privilege of non-arrest to use it in such a case?
“… Junho, if there is anything that makes you feel bad, please tell me right away.”
Lee Se-hee said as if begging.
