Jung Ki-Hoon’s words are the story that the Self-Defense Forces, which I eliminated in Japan, and the Korean conglomerates were connected. It was me, Seonwoo, and Siyeon who destroyed their plan.
But in the meantime, it seems that we were known to be Koreans. That’s why they are looking for Kang Chul Man among Koreans, not just Koreans in Korea, but among Koreans in Japan.
It’s fun. So, the hunters wearing the Steel Man suits they are looking for are thinking of them as Koreans in Japan. Since it was connected to the Hakashi Gate while looking for the goblins that had run away from our territory, it would be reasonable to not even think that the owner of the Korean gate would have appeared there. At that time, we disappeared back to the gate.
Unless it’s an unusual case like Korea, in foreign countries, even if you live in that country, you may have a foreign gate owner.
Unusually, there was no case where a foreigner residing only in Korea became the owner of the gate.
“So what are you trying to do by finding those steel men?”
“maybe.”
“maybe?”
“I would try to recruit them. Because they are expected to be the strongest hunters in existence.”
Are you looking to recruit? pro-Japanese?
“Listening to their actions, they seem to be hostile to Japan. Is that possible?”
“Haha, do you think that they are pro-Japanese because they are pro-Japanese?”
Is there anything more important to pro-Japanese people? Looking at Jeong Ki-hoon with an expression that I don’t know, he says.
“What matters to them is neither Japan nor Korea. It’s just whether it’s for their own benefit. It is attached to Japan for profit, but if it is more profitable than that, it will be the United States and China. They have no convictions. There is only profit.”
“So the reason their ancestors were pro-Japanese was not because they liked Japan, but because they knew it would benefit them.”
“Yes, isn’t there a story that the famous pro-Japanese left behind to his descendants, saying that the United States will be prosperous in the future, so join that side?”
I heard that. Three people who look like Koreans in Japan and will wear steel man suits. It is highly likely that they also know the whereabouts of the Mithril Gate. So shall we fight them? The three of them almost wiped out the Self-Defense Forces?
Well, not really, but they will. Then, if they find Steel Man, they say that they will try to recruit them rather than fight them, or they will try to stick with them.
“As Mr. Ki-Hoon Jeong said, if they find people wearing Steel Man suits, there is no guarantee that they will join the pro-Japanese group, right?”
“Maybe. But that’s only when they know the truth. In the first place, they are the ones who know how to use lies skillfully.”
Come to think of it, there is some truth in Jeong Ki-hoon’s words. If we meet without any information, are we confident that we will not be deceived if they ask for their strength while advocating plausible justice? To be honest, I’m not sure about this either.
Nyaang!
Then Hoya comes up on my shoulder. And then bite the baby’s head.
“It hurts!”
But I can understand the meaning of Hoya. Don’t worry about those guys. They say that Hoya can cut them.
Once again, I thought that there was nothing impossible in the world with Hoya.
“So what do you want to tell me?”
“To be honest, I did some research on you. He seems to be a descendant of independence activists.”
“So?”
“I would like to ask you a favor. At least please don’t hold hands with them.”
“Is that all?”
“yes. Right now, that’s all. And increase your strength. In the future, it is highly likely that this will eventually develop into competition between countries.”
I did not understand the story that there was a high possibility of developing into competition between countries. Is there room for the state to intervene here? Because that’s what I thought. However, Jeong Ki-hoon seemed to have a different idea.
“It is not easy for humans to break their molds. If possible, you want to pursue something better in your own home. Unexpectedly, it has great power.”
To some extent, I sympathized with Jung Ki-hoon’s words. If you’re going to live well, you’ll want to live better where you live. Rather than wanting to live well in a foreign country that I have never been to before.
“First of all, the gate cannot be moved. So even if you try to get out of here and live well, it will be practically impossible.”
That’s right. The gate cannot move unless certain conditions arise. So, in the end, you have to live in the place where the gate is created, and if you do, I think that it can eventually progress into competition between countries.
If that’s the case, it’s hard to say that there’s really no possibility of progress like Jung Ki-hoon said.
“Well, I have no intention of cooperating with such people. Of course, you still can’t believe it either.”
“I won’t make excuses for what I saw. I’m leaving for today.”
“Yes, I will not see you off.”
At my words, Jeong Ki-hun gave a bitter smile and said to Ko Yeon-ju.
“You have chosen a good companion.”
As expected, that person seems to be mistaking Ko Yeon-ju’s companion for me. But Yeonju Ko didn’t seem to have any intention of correcting it, and I didn’t feel the need to correct it either. So Jung Ki-hoon said goodbye and went back.
And Yeonju Ko looks at me and asks.
“I feel like I saw the Steel Man suit that was active in Fukushima?”
“Agent Pink, confidentiality is the number one rule of the Sea Lake Guard.”
“Poop!”
Oh, it’s embarrassing. But, can you tell me if I was caught anyway?
“That’s why…”
I explained to Yeonju Go what had happened. About how I got the Hakashi Gate. As Yeonju Ko listened to Leo’s story, she began to shed tears.
It’s too big to call it a puppy, but it may be that he’s more empathetic than I am as I raise Yeppi as a pet.
“Hey, I thought I could do that too after watching the documentary, but that person was the owner of the gate.”
“Yes, it was. So in the end, Leo handed over the gate to me, and the entrance to the gate moved to our manor.”
“ha. I will quickly level up and become a proud member of the Pink Team!”
“Suddenly?”
“yes! You did a good job. People who treat animals like that can never be good people.”
Human beings who are enormous to animals are likely to be enormous to the same human beings. That is why many cases of animal abusers become murderers. That’s why some say that punishment for animal cruelty should be increased, but there are still many people who have the perception of what kind of crime is it to kill an animal in the way of thinking of politicians.
If you think about it differently, it is a part that I think their human rights awareness will be that much. Of course, this is just my opinion.
“I am of the same opinion.”
“Leader! Please make me a member of Pink.”
“You seem to be enjoying something?”
“Yeah, it’s a little fun, right? Whoops.”
Ko Yeon-joo seems to have a brighter personality than I thought.
“More than that, get your friends and family to come inside the gate. At the very least, I think they should develop the strength to protect themselves.”
“yes!”
“But people with bad character will decline.”
“I will choose well. The kids in the gate right now are the kids you can trust.”
I think so. Because they were the ones who risked their lives to keep their place in this monster wave. Actually, it’s never that easy.
What’s more, wouldn’t it be especially true for those who have a job as a celebrity? Because it’s a job that you have to think of yourself as the most important.
Still, they risked their lives. At that level, I think that the personality problem has crossed the cut-off to some extent.
I heard that not all celebrities who have the right to enter this place came. This is how their distinction was made.
“Let’s go inside first.”
“yes.”
We went back into the gate.
***
Upon entering the gate, Hoya climbed onto Yepi’s head. Yepi does not resist Hoya’s actions at all. It seems that the order has already been firmly established between the two.
Yeppi looks like a bulldog mix, but he is much bigger than him, so even if Hoya is sitting on his head, he doesn’t feel anything out of place.
“Hoya, yepi, don’t bother me too much.”
Nyaang!
He asks if he is me. What and when did I harass a woman?
“Then I’ll talk to the people here and move on to Siwoo’s manor.”
“Please.”
After saying that, I called Hoya and went to our territory.
Then, the celebrities are holding an autograph session surrounded by the locals.
“What is this situation?”
“That’s why the elders say it’s nice to see them.”
“Well, it must not have been easy to see celebrities.”
“Of course.”
understanding goes. And anyway, that would be the first time. If you continue to roll around together, there comes a moment when it doesn’t feel particularly special.
“What about Siyeon?”
“I’m working on a pink one.”
“Standard support.”
“I am your brother.”
“right. By the way, where did Mr. Juyeon go?”
Sunwoo’s eyes shake at my words.
“friend! Aren’t we friends?”
“What kind of Seoul dialect is that?”
“What can I do?”
“Um, should I set it as one point for now?”
“Dil!”
Actually, I have some thoughts of breaking up with the Sunwoo couple. However, if he was abandoned by Joo-yeon, he would definitely live alone until he died, so I put up with it.
“After a while, gather the officers at the lord castle. I have something important to say.”
“okay. Go first.”
***
After a while, local residents who could be called executives gathered at Yeongju Castle. It also includes Karak and Cardok. Our estate’s executives aren’t just humans.
Currently, the executives of our estate are my parents, the brewery Mr. Choi, the village head, the representative of the livestock industry, the representative of the farming field, Seonwoo’s father, and my sister, Seonwoo, and Siyeon.
We sat around the round table Karak had made. It’s a structure that reminds me of the Knights of the Round Table, but I don’t think it’s too bad. And lastly, Yeonju Ko attended as the representative of the subordinate lord.
“Everyone is busy, but the reason I came here is because I heard a story from meeting another great lord outside. I’m telling you because I think it probably has nothing to do with you. So······.”
I told all the stories I heard from Jeong Ki-hoon. Then people’s faces harden. In fact, until now, Yeongji and Yeongju may have felt like playing a house.
However, you must have felt by now that there is a high possibility that the world will revolve around the territories of this gate in the future.
And, accordingly, there are parts where they have to think about what they will do with their families in the future.
We spent a long time sharing our opinions and starting to organize the way for Yeongji to move forward.
