After going for a night walk with Seong Ji-eun.

“I’ll go. Then, tell the kids well.”

“You’re leaving already?”

“I can’t get involved when the kids are fighting. They say 3:3. Not even 4:4.”

Seong Ji-eun pointed to the energy of one person remaining in the pension and walked in a different direction from the pension.

“Thank you for your hard work. For a happy ending. No matter what trials and tribulations come your way, I believe that you will be able to overcome them.”

“Thank you. The way back is…”

“I’m not going on a plane.”

Weeeeing.

As soon as Seong Ji-eun began to use magic, she immediately put on a suit.

“When I came, I came into the country by plane to fool people, but I can go comfortably when I leave, right?”

“So I’m going to go comfortably now…”

“No one will know that chaos appeared on Ulleungdo, right?”

Seong Ji-eun and Chaos laughed lowly and threw themselves into the sea.

Ta-ah.

“Then, bye. If you happen to have a schedule and come to America, I will pick you up right away.”

“…Once I finish working in Japan and preparing for the start of the second semester, I might go there.”

“Oh my, really? If you’re just saying it…”

“It’s not just something you say. Soon, it’s ‘that time’.”

There isn’t much left to go.

“Wouldn’t it be possible to illuminate at least your face once?”

“…I see. Well, the Chairman must be embarrassed to see you in person. Should I not tell you?”

“I think it would be okay to go to the US as a surprise, but I’ll leave that to my sister’s decision.”

There may be cases where you don’t have time and can’t go.

“See you next time.”

“Yes. …Oh, maybe.”

Chaos stood on a disk-like island rising above the sea and slightly clenched its fist towards me.

“If you feel empty and the other kids won’t help you, can you come visit your sister?”

“…He said something about other kids being patriotic.”

“Oh my. Are you saying that I like myself? I’m saying it’s good for you.”

“Okay. Thank you. I’m going to take care of you, so until then…”

I tapped my temple.

“Don’t lose yourself.”

“…….”

“If you ever lose your memory, lose your sense of self, or lose confidence in yourself, please contact me at any time. No, let me go find it. Even if you forget me, I remember you.”

“…Hmph.”

Chaos narrowed his eyes and put his index finger to his lips.

“But so far, I know myself better than you, right?”

“Okay. …Oh, and. One more thing.”

I jumped down and came face to face with Chaos.

“Well, what is it? To give me a farewell kiss?”

“There’s that too, but I’ll just talk briefly about work at the end.”

“If it’s work-”

Sreuk.

“…You said you were talking about work?”

“It’s usually better to kiss by surprise.”

“I never asked you to kiss me?”

“I do it because I want to.”

“Heung.”

Chaos tapped my shin with the top of his foot.

“Okay, kissing me goodbye isn’t part of your job, right? Then you have to do it one more time.”

“Real work story. This came to mind while talking with my sister, the idea just occurred to me, think about it.”

Whisper quietly.

I suggested cautiously to confused ears.

“…Wow.”

Chaos’s eyes began to sparkle with interest.

“That’s a pretty interesting proposal, isn’t it?”

“It’s not certain yet, but it might be possible to hold out at least temporarily.”

“No, I’m sure. He says, “Is there anything I can’t do?” It’s not impossible. Just….”

Chaos looked to the northwest.

“In the end, the problem is Managold.”

“It doesn’t have to be Mana Gold, but once it comes out…”

“Good. I’ll try my best to move as soon as I get back.”

Hwiiing.

“Our manager made a groundbreaking suggestion after a long time, but the managing director can’t just ignore it.”

When Chaos untied her hair, her long hair fluttered in the wind.

“Actively promote subordinates’ ideas, but do not take away their performance. Wouldn’t that really be the ideal boss? This may not be what the people of this country want at all.”

“…There must be a lot of people swearing that they make people tired.”

“So. …Then, bye.”

Chaos touched my shoulder once and-

Sreuk.

A warm feeling passed over my cheek, and the small island carrying her slowly left towards the sea.

“Is this American style?”

“Just doing it because my sister wants to?”

“…I thought it would be done on the lips.”

“Because I’m not as active as others.”

Under Chaos, who was blushing and laughing lowly, the white sand began to coil like a snake.

“Next time, I will try to be more proactive?”

“You don’t have to put in effort for that.”

” Don’t you like active women as long as they’re not burdensome? ”

“Um.”

I responded, waving my hand at Chaos.

“I don’t like it, I don’t.”

* * *

Chaos ensued as a small island set out on a journey across the Pacific Ocean.

I returned to the pension, changed my clothes, and checked the time with my Taegeuk watch.

4 a.m.

The time when humans are at their weakest.

It’s time for everyone to be deeply asleep, but I’m still awake and unable to fall asleep.

‘It’s been a long fight.’

I wondered if it was time to return, but those who left the pension had not returned yet.

We probably had a good fight, so when we get back, we’ll have something simple for breakfast-

“……Surprise.”

Taeirin was sitting quietly in front of the kitchen table without turning on the light.

Flashing.

I see light in the darkness.

During a night patrol, I felt as if I had seen the eyes of a cat or an elk that had come down from the mountains.

Spiritual eye.

They look at me with eyes that are much more sensitive to magic than others.

To explore myself.

“…I don’t know what you’re doing, but you-”

“The other sisters are not here right now. And, I thought about it once.”

“…I think I’m going to have a serious conversation. Why don’t we have a cup of tea? Coffee is a bit off at this time, iced tea?”

“Please leave some lemonade in the cupboard.”

I burned my drink and Taylin’s drink and placed them on the table.

“Okay, what do you want to talk about?”

“It’s a goblin, right?”

“…….”

Direct purchase from the start.

“Goblin… Are you talking about the villain goblin?”

“Yes.”

It was expected.

‘at las.’

Finally, someone who recognized me appeared.

‘I thought if I threw this much at you, someone would bite.’

I’m a little excited.

I subtly suggested various ways to get noticed, such as opportunities or means, but what did Taeirin really see in me that made her realize that I was a goblin?

Baek Seol-hee found out about me because I told her about her identity.

I used tricks to deceive her, but she wasn’t sure until I clearly conveyed my feelings.

Ymir knew with my body.

Although she played around with Do Ji-hwan and Goblin rather than straddling them, she saw my body with her eyes and touched it with her hands and knew that they were the same person.

The cases of Yoon I-seon and Kim Yun-ji are slightly different, but they also could not come to the conclusion on their own that ‘the goblin is Do Ji-hwan.’

“Why do you look excited? The reason you’re so happy that your identity was discovered is because you want me to find out?”

“If you say so?”

“…If you don’t notice this, aren’t you stupid?”

“Heh.”

There are a lot of idiots out there, but Tay-Lin seems to have felt that my laughter made her look like an idiot.

“How did you know?”

“After coming to a conclusion and putting the process together, there was no clearer answer than this.”

“What did you think after deciding that Do Ji-hwan was a goblin? Well, that’s a disappointment.”

“…There is no end to the reasons, so I will just say one.”

Taylin pointed me up and down.

“Magic power that does not flow from your body at all.”

“That’s it….”

“All ‘Koreans’ have mana flowing through their bodies. Very weakly.”

“…….”

I didn’t know that.

“This is so…”

“Can you guess anything?”

“I never thought I would get caught because of what I always thought.”

Just because a drop of white paint hardens on white drawing paper doesn’t mean that everyone won’t notice it.

“If you had let it flow even a little, wouldn’t it have been caught in your spirit?”

“That’s right.”

People with good eyesight are bound to notice that strangeness.

“…I can see it better when I look at it up close like this. Maybe it’s because it’s night. Because it seems like there is more mana around you, not your own, but other people’s mana.”

“The answer is correct. What ‘color’ do you see now?”

“…How did you know that I distinguish people by color?… No, I guess so. Because goblins are omnipotent.”

“It is not omnipotent. You only know what you know, and you can only do what you can do.”

True omniscience is something else.

And we call that being ‘God’, and in this world, God is the leader.

“Okay. Now that you know it’s a goblin, what are you going to do? Are you going to report it?”

“Are you planning to turn me into a devil?”

“Huh?”

“…If you ask me to die with you, I will be hit harder. How can I say that?”

Taeyrin’s face was so red that she could see clearly even in the dark.

“You are grabbing my leash.”

“Leash?”

“That, that….”

“As a member of the Black Wing, the contents of the consultation will not be disclosed to anyone. I would have said that.”

“…….”

He looks like he doesn’t believe it.

Well, even if it were me, it would be the same.

“Do you think it is beneficial for me to take advantage of your weaknesses and shake you, or do you think it is more beneficial for you to tolerate me even after you know my true identity?”

“Isn’t that up to you to decide?”

“It’s difficult. I can’t even put my finger on this.”

A goblin has no parents as it stamps its thumb and little finger on its tongue and forehead.

They’re not even my real parents in the first place.

“What should I do to trust me?”

“…….”

“It’s a bit funny that I’m asking you to trust me in the first place, but since everyone hasn’t returned yet, there’ll be plenty of time to talk.”

I lowered my upper body towards Taeyrin.

“Tell me. How can you be sure that I won’t reveal your secrets?”

It’s a service.

Tairin is the only hero who recognized my identity through this ability.

“Then.”

Taeyrin corrected her posture, looked at me with clear eyes, and opened her mouth.

“In front of me….”
