When a goblin enters a love hotel with an unidentified cosplayer.

“Wow, this place is really amazing.”

“…Everyone doesn’t know, they don’t know. Hehehe.”

Ymir and Baek Seol-hee were each enjoying the Comic Market in their own way.

“Sister. Come here. Isn’t this cartoon about a rather interesting ability?”

“What is it? The ability to control ice? How do you control it?”

“Yes. But there’s this manipulative fairy, they say he’s an idiot.”

“…You’re not doing that to me right now, are you?”

“No way.”

If a skill similar to theirs appears, they check it with their own eyes and practice the skill in their head.

“How about this? A story about a girl who only talks about her sexuality and ends up getting hit here and there before being destroyed.”

“Ugh…. How can something like this be sold in a public place?”

“Because this is a comic market. Everyone who comes here is an adult, and everyone basically has the right to sexual self-determination. There is no problem with buying and selling these things?”

“What I mean is that this kind of content is sold without being censored… Isn’t it too pornographic?”

“So, I’m saying be careful not to end up like this.”

“Well, I guess this doesn’t apply to me! I only do that to one person!”

“Just interpret it the way you like, huh.”

As you pass by, you see incredible sights that cannot be seen in Korea.

“Yuna. Come here for a moment. This character here is his alter ego and superpower.”

“Self-immolation…? They say it’s a shadow clone, but where on earth is the shadow…? Is it rising from the shadows?”

“No. They say it’s made with ninjutsu?”

“…But why is it a shadow clone?”

Or, check data on characters with abilities that are slightly different from the two abilities.

“Hey, may I know what you are cosplaying?”

“Me? Snow white.”

“…Is it there?”

“I tried to reduce it, but it was too difficult to apply a compression bandage.”

“Sugeㅡㅡ Can I take a picture, Big-Snowwhite?”

“As much as you want.”

In their own way(?), they provide fan service rather than fan service to those who come to take pictures of the two in cosplay.

“Sister, this is amazing. I haven’t been caught once so far.”

“Sure. …As expected, the fact that the main body is located in Busan seems to play a major role.”

Baek Seol-hee enjoyed her freedom by fully enjoying the fact that people did not recognize her.

Of course, there were issues with photos being taken because I was wearing Snow White cosplay or clothes that revealed my body lines, but I was more focused on enjoying the event than on those things.

“Are you both enjoying it?”

“Ah, Nadeko. What about photos?”

“I took good pictures. Hehe, look at this.”

Nadeshiko, who was taking pictures somewhere far away, joined us holding a Polaroid photo.

“Nadeshiko Variation.”

“…Are you all cosplaying Nadeshiko?”

“Some people just copy the hero costume, but there are also people who add their own designs like this.”

The photo was full of women cosplaying as Nadeshiko.

About half of them were wearing Nadeshiko’s hero costume, but the other half were wearing everyday clothes or special costumes.

For example, a bunny girl.

“Just because the hair color and eye color are the same doesn’t mean it’s him…”

“If you think about it that way, even with short hair, I’m not a Nadeshiko cosplayer?”

“Ha, haha….”

“How about Mr. Harang? There, the Snow Whites were gathered together and taking pictures. …Mr. Harang?”

Baek Seol-hee was quietly looking at a booth in the corner.

As if something had robbed her of consciousness, she headed towards the booth as if possessed.

“Wow!”

The place was all black.

Just like Joseon merchants who opened a store with a bundle in a Japanese market, the clothes the salespeople were wearing were none other than black hanbok.

“Welcome.”

And they were wearing goblin masks on their faces.

“This is….”

“This is the goblin’s execution site. A place containing everything about goblins.”

The masked goblins pointed at things on the table with small bats.

“Dokkaebi acrylic stand, Goblin pad, Goblin keycap, Goblin smartwatch band, and even Goblin figure.”

“It’s a goblin specialty store…”

Ymir looked at the traces of goblins all over the booth with a sour face.

“Are you selling this with your permission?”

“All secondary creation profits from selling Goblin’s goods will be donated to peace in this world.”

“Although it is not permitted, if the goblin sees it, he will be generous with a wide heart.”

The salesperson goblins put their hands together and prayed toward the goblin figure placed in the center.

The figure was a goblin holding a goblin bat downwards, and was in a forward walking pose with its black scroll flapping.

“Do you want to buy this…huh?”

“What is this?”

Baek Seol-hee pointed to a booklet placed on one side of the table.

“Goblin strategy book…?”

“Ah, if I may tell you this, it is a compilation of data that investigated all the abilities that goblins have used so far.”

“Why are you doing this here?”

“That’s right, we are the goblin’s…”

“Because I’m a fan.”

The goblins opened the booklet.

The booklet was filled with detailed photos and text, just like a major book, and contained detailed information about the goblin’s actions from its appearance to the present.

“What type of goblin’s ability is this? What are the limits of this ability shown by the goblin? What abilities do goblins have to watch out for? This will be the data we analyzed and compiled.”

“How much?”

“It’s 2,000 yen.”

“……At best?”

Baek Seol-hee tried to put her hand into the inner pocket containing her wallet without realizing it, but stopped.

“You’re selling something like this for 2,000 yen? Isn’t it too…cheap?”

“It’s okay. If at least one more person knows about goblins through this, we’ll be happy!”

“If there are even one more person who sympathizes with the goblin’s ideology and sympathizes with the goblin’s actions, then the purpose of our participation in this event will be achieved.”

Beyond the goblin mask, a madness like a ‘mission’ was visible to them.

“Hmm…. Is there a reason why you fell in love with the goblin so much?”

“Ah, that is.”

“We live in Japan now, but we used to live in Korea?”

The goblin seemed frustrated for a moment, took off his mask and answered.

“One of my family members was murdered by a Korean villain, and a goblin broke the villain’s head.”

“…….”

“So I became a fan after that. He is the person who avenged my family. Of course my friend…”

“Goblin statue, Kakkoiㅡㅡㅡ!”

“…It’s just because I’m a fan of people with strong special abilities. Oh, by the way, would you like to see this too?”

The salesperson wearing the goblin mask again pointed to the back of the table.

“This is ‘Goblin Blu-ray’ that we put a lot of effort into producing.”

“It is a collection of videos of goblins in action in various countries, and includes content before it was censored…”

“I’ll buy it.”

Baek Seol-hee turned her eyes to Nadeshiko.

“Money. Give it.”

“…Did you leave money with me?”

“You probably have the yen with you. Buy it.”

“…Me too.”

Nadeshiko laughed and held out the smartwatch on her wrist.

“Please prepare three omiyage gifts for these two. All the items here.”

Beep beep.

Although close to 100,000 yen was paid.

Not a single penny was returned to the goblin himself.

“I never thought you would buy something like this. Would you like to take a look at this too?”

“What is it?”

“What happens when a goblin and a blue comet fight each other…”

“I’ll buy it.”

* * *

“If my younger brother does something villainous, will you kill him?”

[There are no exceptions to execution. You probably know that too.]

I started the meeting by sitting across from Do-cheol and Cheon Ju-yeon.

[I didn’t come just to check the Managold. Following Managold, we came to prevent the rampage of heroes who are trying to use Managold to destroy Japan.]

A truth that could not be easily revealed to Baek Seol-hee and Ymir.

Top secret information that only the executives of the organization knew.

[Rather, it’s more like an excuse. If you tell them that the number one S-class hero is trying to destroy Japan, they won’t act with a sense of responsibility again.]

Because the basic skill of a hero is to be foolish.

Even though they decided to go through all the hardships and enjoy their vacation on Jeju Island, if over 100 million people in a neighboring country were at risk of dying, the two would not have been able to sit still and would have tried to take action immediately.

[I won’t check. Are you Do-cheol Cheon Ju-yeon, or-]

“Docheol Cheon Juyeon, of course. I threw away my previous name and nickname. Everything is for the sake of a world where society will rule. Just….”

Cheon Ju-yeon frowned.

“Other kids are different, but I am the only one who has family. And he helped me survive.”

[I know that because I heard it. Your body was secretly stolen by the Blue Comet.]

Before the body ‘never existed’, there was a young man who sneaked into Korea from Japan, took Docheol’s alive body with him without anyone knowing, and managed to escape to Japan.

Thanks to the young man’s life-threatening gamble, the soul of the S-class superpower who died unjustly remained in the body and the general manager was able to revive her as ‘Docheol Cheon Ju-yeon’.

[What did the chairman say?]

“…I completely follow the goblin’s opinion.”

Cheon Ju-yeon looked at me openly and got irritated.

“What are you going to do, my little brother? Execution, are you going to do it?”

[…….]

“It’s hard for me to say this, but objectively speaking, it is an entity that wants to destroy Japan. …What should I do?”

[What are you going to do?]

“…Since the commander-in-chief has given an order, of course we must follow it.”

Cheon Ju-yeon uncrossed her legs and sat upright.

“This operation is led by a goblin. Docheol supports Goblin. What are you going to do?”

[well.]

Cheon Ju-yeon’s lifesaver.

Half-brother and only family member.

But if such a being tries to destroy Japan-

[They should be executed.]

There are no exceptions.

[step.]

“…only?”

[You should also think about executing someone in a way that you agree with.]

“What I agree with is-”

[Execution as a male.]
