After a conversation with Sejeong Jin, who was a series of shock and horror, I left the office.
Choi Jun-ho Republic.
It was definitely a catchy word.
But when I looked at the contents, I couldn’t like it.
Because in order to have power, you have to work endlessly and diligently. And to say that I am diligent in Jin Se-jeong’s plan is to maintain that eccentric idol worldview.
Even now, I have goosebumps all over my body, but are you going to keep it?
Before that, I might give up.
[The distribution is great. When I see you declare that you are going to eat a country.]
“That’s right.”
Yongyong’s feelings were also mine. I don’t like talking around, so I’ll do it at all. That is a direction that is beneficial to me, but I thought that Jin Se-jeong’s momentum and distribution were great.
It seems to be quite painful for me.
[Isn’t that enough?]
If you are patient, you can be patient.
Instead, I don’t think my limbs will remain.
Rather than flying at high speed, this feels more like a blow.
If I go this far, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to come back.
No, I’ve come a long way.
“Uh, are you here?”
When I came home, Yoon-hee greeted me in the most comfortable clothes in the world. I saw it after I had been to the US and had many things to do, but it was the same attitude I had seen a few minutes ago.
“Are you so bored even after seeing you in a long time?”
“Isn’t it enough to be alive and well? There’s no reason to pretend we’re close, so why would you?”
“but.”
It’s not wrong. But it’s because the status I’m feeling is very different from what I thought.
I looked at Yoon-hee, who was clinging to the sofa in the most comfortable position in the world.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“How are you today?”
“me? die and roll I am now aware that the salary I receive is not because the guild is generous or kind.”
Yoon-hee, who had established herself as a capable hunter in the Shinsung Guild, was hunting hard with her core power in practice. The ＜Indomitable＞ possessed by Yoon-hee is effective in hunting, so it is also rolled to death in the Holy Guild.
It is a very desirable phenomenon to roll death without thinking. It looks like it’s worth living, but maybe I could increase the intensity a bit more.
“Aren’t other people bothering you?”
“why?”
“Seeing people talking about me these days, I thought it would bother you too.”
“You know that now? If I had to answer it first, it would be bothersome to the point of death. Everywhere I go, I bring up my brother’s story, but I can’t ignore it, and it sticks to me even more if I match the rhythm.”
“Is that so? Would that be a bit harsh?”
“I do not care. I am rather enjoying it.”
“Do you enjoy it?”
I felt like I was speechless at Yoon-hee’s shameless expression.
“Is there any reason not to enjoy it? Oppa is the world’s strongest superman, so he’s coming in with me, of course, you should enjoy it. When you can enjoy it, if you don’t enjoy it, it disappears far away. After all, those people are trying to look good to my oppa, not me, so if I enjoy it in the right way, nothing will come out. I’m totally pissed off.”
“… … .”
I didn’t know what to say when I said that I was good. I thought that I might suffer damage, but it looks like you’re enjoying it.
It was unfamiliar to him to see his brother like this.
[It’s just your brother, what are you talking about? Same as you.]
Yong-yong is crossing the line.
“I’m enjoying it in a different atmosphere from Sehee unnie. So I understand why Se-hee unnie has been like that these days.”
“Are you talking about having s*x with Lee Se-hee?”
“It’s not because I’m a chaebol or anything like that. I can enjoy it much more freely than Se-hee unnie. Instead, there is a fatal flaw, you know what?”
I don’t know what he’s enjoying, but can you tell me about his fatal flaws?
But he looked at me with a serious expression on his face.
“I don’t like men because my brother is such a scary person.”
“… … .”
“I ruined my dating business because of you. You should feel sorry for me.”
[Is it really because of that?]
Well, I think it’s more of a personality problem than mine.
“Don’t use your personal problems as an excuse for me.”
“Really? I am growing old alone because of someone!”
“If you do it outside of those words, you will be shot to death.”
“it’s okay! It’s not like I’m going to go out and get hit.”
“The world is wide and there are many more powerful people than you.”
“You don’t have to be around me. Anyway, is that true? It is said that it is because of my brother that I leave such an attractive woman alone.”
“Think as you like.”
When I saw Yoon-hee, who is working hard on self-rationalization, I clicked my tongue inside. He also seems to be wrong about dating a man.
And I think it’s not because of me, but because of my dirty personality.
[From my point of view, siblings seem to be similar.]
Hearing that, I would think so, but Yoon-hee is probably going to be upset.
When I talked about the conversation I had with Jin Se-jeong, I came up with a surprisingly simple answer.
“Choi Jun-ho Republic? If you want to find out, go outside.”
“Where?”
“To the place where the oppa pop-up store is located.”
One thing I didn’t know.
Sejeong Jin was running my pop-up store.
* * *
As Yoon-hee said, I visited the place where my pop-up store was.
And within five minutes of looking around the place, I had to be engulfed in shock and horror.
It was mine, by me, for me.
These are so-called goods, and when I saw various products with my face imprinted on them, I felt like my head was empty.
What the hell are you buying?
I turned my head several times, but no answer came out.
But the reaction on the ground was enthusiastic. When I saw what I had vaguely heard from Jin Se-jeong on set, it felt completely different.
Why are so-called fans of me crazy about me?
It is true that I contributed to the defense of the Republic of Korea. just that There were many other Hunters who contributed to the peace. If so, it is the influence of the idol worldview that was introduced after hearing Sejeong Jin’s words.
How did you get such a reaction?
I thought about it several times, but I couldn’t understand it in my head.
[Are they newcomers?]
Yes, not only me but also the gods did not understand.
[Maybe I was arrogant in trying to understand?]
… Maybe it is.
After a long time, Yong-yong and I had the same thoughts.
Anyway, one thing was clear.
That there are fans who love me so passionately that I don’t understand.
And to the extent that their existence is of great help to the work I am trying to do.
Then you should be fine.
[But I don’t understand.]
That was something I also sympathized with.
* * *
What I went out to hunt for the divine beast was top secret information. The existence of the divine beast was not widely known to the public yet, and like a fairy tale, there was only the fact that there were monsters smarter than humans.
So, there are people who know that he went to the United States to carry out the operation in top secret.
Lee Se-hee is one of them. Today, in a black two-piece suit, she was radiating an arrogant spirit, but as soon as she saw me, she gently relaxed her energy.
“It smells like a gift.”
“Aren’t you awakening even with a new gift?”
“Is it possible? It’s just that I’m sensitive.”
“… Is that great?”
The strength of Lee Se-hee is that she can change freely in any situation.
I mentioned the conversation I had with Sejeong Jin before I opened the gift package.
“Captain Jin is very talented. Seeing that Junho doesn’t feel any void at all.”
“Are you going to salt it right away?”
“Even if you are unfamiliar and do not understand, the direction of Team Leader Jin is right. It makes Junho’s existence into a friendly and attractive character rather than a scary one.”
… It was hard to say no because I saw something in a pop-up store.
I wondered what my charms were that I didn’t know.
“Won’t it look good?”
“It is not. There are things Junho showed me, who would risk their life? People know how precious their lives are. Now that I’m here, I can’t underestimate Junho. Perhaps the people who suffered from Junho are boiling their stomachs watching the character making?”
It sounded pretty plausible.
So, should I say thank you to Jin Se-jeong?
Thanks, but the method was very unfamiliar.
“I thought it would be better if there was another way.”
“But it wouldn’t have worked as well as it is now. It was like a prescription drug for Junho.”
“right.”
I couldn’t deny Jin Se-jeong’s magic, so I bit my tongue.
As we talked more, I changed the topic because it seemed like I was going to admit Jin Se-jeong’s work and fall into a deeper pit.
Now it’s time to unpack the gift bag.
“I have the privileges I got from America.”
“yes. I heard that your trip to America went well. Is there anything we can do to help?”
“Of course, we need the cooperation of Shinsung Group. You can take whatever you want along the way.”
“Thank you. I will take good care of it.”
The saying that a businessman’s conscience is not something to be trusted came to mind, but Lee Se-hee decided not to tackle it because she belongs to the kind of conscientious person.
And I released a package that I almost robbed Herbert.
I brought them all because they all looked good.
“Uh, um.”
Lee Se-hee, with a confused expression on her face, looks at me.
“why?”
“Is this a normal transaction?”
“Is that right?”
I took everything Herbert had prepared, but it was a reward for my achievements.
Instead, the US government got a pleasant LA without villains.
I got a fair price.
The other person’s opinion doesn’t matter.
“Starting with oil and selling all kinds of resources and food? Isn’t that also tax-free?”
I think Lee Se-hee looked a bit harsh.
Well, come to think of it, Herbert had a disgruntled look when I took it. Apart from his frivolous personality, he was the president of the United States, so he was a yangban who pursued the interests of the United States.
“That’s it.”
“This is an impossible deal without putting a gun to the head… … .”
What do you use a gun for to blow people’s heads? It’s okay to just use your hands.
He must have felt threatened when he remembered that Herbert was startled every time he saw me.
Even Lee Se-hee, who was serious at first, smiled brightly as she decided to only see the real thing in the gift bag.
“Anyway, the important thing about this deal is that following Saudi Arabia, the United States has also opened its doors. You can even cross the Pacific Ocean if you put your mind to it with Junho’s secret!”
The ship I built with the claws of the dragon plucked out is not only capable of transporting oil.
If you set your mind, you can trade on a regular basis. There was a widespread expectation that logistics, which had been cut to pieces due to the existence of monsters, could be united.
But for that to happen, I don’t think the claws of the dragon will remain.
Should I be cautious?
[Did you think of me? thank you!]
I’m the only one who thinks of you But how many spares can I get?
[What? Were you pretending to care about me?]
if not, don’t to be harsh.
“I think I’ll have to do this first, and check the rest before making adjustments.”
“That is enough.”
It’s not an area I’m familiar with anyway, so I’ll leave the rest to the experts.
The purpose of today’s visit was accomplished brilliantly.
I finished speaking, but Se-hee Lee spoke to me, hesitating whether she had something to say.
“If you have time, would you like to meet the president?”
“Chairman Lee Young-moon?”
“Yes, I think there is something I want to talk about with Junho. You can schedule as much as Junho is comfortable with.”
Lee Young-moon was in a situation where he left most of the work after the Lee Se-hee regime was consolidated. However, his presence is still strong, and he is positioned as a leader and powerful man in the business world.
I don’t know why you asked to see me.
I’m not a good person to talk nonsense, so it’s okay to take a look.
“Let’s see.”
“Yes, when are you okay?”
“Right now.”
“Is that right? Are you okay?”
“Because I’m curious as to why you’re asking to see me.”
There won’t be any frivolous stories like seeing each other face to face.
Upon my acceptance, Se-hee Lee immediately contacted the president’s office, and only after the answer came that she would cancel all schedules and make a seat, her expression became more comfortable.
30 minutes after that.
I saw Lee Young-moon with Lee Se-hee in the head office’s president’s room. I heard that his health wasn’t very good, but his complexion didn’t look too bad if he was taking good care of it.
“I heard from Se-hee. Again, you have achieved amazing results. Thank you for your kindness to the group.”
“It’s just a matter of entrusting it to a partner you can trust and rely on.”
I have now reached a level where I can speak modestly.
But this is not my taste, so I wanted to get straight to the point.
Lee Young-moon read my thoughts and went straight to the main topic.
And the content went further than I thought.
“I heard about the Republic of Choi Jun-ho. If you are okay with Choin, we would like to support you with all our heart and soul. What do you think of Superin?”
“Why are you talking about that all of a sudden?”
“Because I think it’s an irresistible flow. Some may judge that it is too early, but if you do not take this step forward, you will inevitably fall behind. We are supporting the Republic of Junho Choi.”
It’s a strange story, but the problem is that it sounded plausible when Chairman Lee Young-moon took the weight.
“If you have an idea, to what extent are you planning to apply?”
“I want to bet on the fate of the group.”
