Chapter Index

    That time.

    The winner is gone.

    It was a scene that the entire nation and the world saw, but it was a really big problem that the person in question said something as soon as he won and then immediately disappeared.

    “Even if you win the game, this is against the ‘rules’!”

    The chairman of the World Cup Steering Committee shouted, blood rising in his neck.

    “Is it over if we win the game?! There are procedures, processes, and regulations! How can you call it a win when you disappear straight from the stadium without an interview or a gold medal award ceremony?!”

    “Look, Chairman.”

    “President! This is against the principles! Please handle it according to the manual!”

    Everyone gathered in the emergency conference room fell silent due to the chairman’s reckless behavior.

    “You must proceed according to the procedure! There is no one on site to award a medal to, and there is no one to hold the trophy, so what are you going to do?”

    The president, the president of the association, and even Gwang Ik-gong, who was his opponent in the finals.

    “Okay, so what is the conclusion? Gwang Ik Gong lost the match, but since Doblin left the stadium, does that mean the gold medal belongs to Gwang Ik Gong?”

    “Of course!”

    “Can you take responsibility for that?”

    “Yes! I will take responsibility!”

    The President also frowned at the Chairman’s words.

    “Rep. Min…!”

    “Not a congressman! I am here as the Chairman of the World Cup Steering Committee and have a duty to ensure that the World Cup runs normally. That’s the role given to me!”

    It has been said since ancient times that medicine that is good for the body is good for the mouth.

    The same goes for the theory.

    Words that claim to be correct and principled are unpleasant to hear.

    “Is it possible for a criminal who committed murder in the first place to win the World Cup for Talented Persons?! That person is not Doblin…”

    I understand.

    “It’s a goblin!”

    Now, the entire nation knows who Doblin is, even if you ask a child.

    “He is the one who recklessly kills people for committing a sin, kills the devil, and murders them horribly!”

    “I know. So, let’s make Gwangikgong the winner? The publicity will be good. Now, with the whole world watching, he is the only one calling for Doblin to be stripped of his gold medal medal.”

    Although it was said to be an emergency meeting hall, there was no time to prepare a location as the matter was serious.

    The referees are gathered right below the stands, and the world’s attention is focused on the place where everyone, including the president, government officials, and the steering committee, are talking.

    “Of course! Those who violate the spirit of the World Cup! Even if the game is over, the referee’s decision remains! Of course, the committee must respect the results of the judges’ decisions!”

    Maybe that’s why the Chairman raises his voice with an iron plate on his face.

    “You don’t have any other thoughts?”

    “President! Are you accusing me of being unscrupulous? Are you trying to make me look like someone who is trying to somehow win the Gwangikgong election, ride on public opinion, increase political influence, and solidify his position as a presidential candidate?!”

    “You reveal your true colors very openly. It’s so shameless.”

    “Just thinking like that is looking at me with prejudice! process! Justice! Principle principle! Isn’t this what the President said when he was a candidate? That’s what I’m claiming!”

    No matter how correct you say it.

    I can see the color of desire underlying that right opinion, but how can I accept it as correct?

    “Chairman. Is there any solid evidence that Doblin is a goblin?”

    The president of the association stepped forward.

    “The Association was unable to secure evidence that Doblin was a goblin.”

    “That’s because the association is incompetent!”

    “…What?”

    “The association was incompetent and could not conduct an investigation! Of course, incompetent associations should be disbanded! If you are trying to prove that you are competent, you will need to bring evidence from the association.”

    “Now that you have made the claim, are you leaving the actual work to us?”

    “Because we are the World Cup Steering Committee, not the Hero Association!”

    “….”

    The president of the association clenched his fist for a moment, but the chairman instead held his head straight.

    “The villain won! This is ridiculous! Yes, since he is a villain, he must have used some kind of expedient method! Doblin suddenly used the power of the Four Riders? This thing steals the magic from your rider! I don’t know if it was made with mana powder, but it must have used similar strength!”

    “There is a degree of speculation. It could spread into an international problem.”

    “We are Korea! Against those who tried to win the World Cup by trickery, there is no reason to be afraid of international problems! Why do we have to bow down when we have been wronged?”

    “I can’t understand anything at all. President of the Association, what should I do?”

    “The most certain way is for Doblin himself to reappear…”

    The president and the president of the association simultaneously turned their attention to Gwang Ik-gong.

    “Is that true? Doblin went to see his born child.”

    “Yes.”

    “…….”

    “Look there! The boy’s form was meant to deceive people with this ability! The goblin pretended to be dead in Osaka, joined hands with America, used this ability to disguise himself as a boy, and came out as a goblin! And the reality is…!”

    A problem that everyone guesses, but no one mentions.

    “Patriotic general, Do Ji-hwan! Do Ji-hwan is a goblin, a Doblin, and a Sunbital who committed terrorism against Haegeuneul and killed Chairman Choi Ho-jeong!”

    “Why are you saying that while looking at me?”

    Baek Seol-hee, who had been silent in the conference room, spoke for the first time.

    “You are talking as if I knew that Do Ji-hwan was a goblin, but I accepted him, became pregnant, and gave him the justification to come and live in this country.”

    “Ha, it looks like you’re being stabbed…! I, Min Tae-gyeom, am a man who does what he can! The principle does not apply to pregnant women either!”

    “……!”

    The atmosphere was frozen.

    Even the audience, who had been pricking up their ears wondering what to do, gasped and held their breath.

    “Be considerate of pregnant women, because if you commit a crime while pregnant, you go to jail!”

    “You are correct. I think so too.”

    Baek Seol-hee bowed her head lightly.

    “Then declare it. Whether you are speaking as Representative Min Tae-gyeom or as the Chairman of the World Cup Steering Committee.”

    “What, what…?”

    “Do Ji-hwan is a goblin. Doblin is a goblin. Everyone who acts like a goblin is a goblin. Since he is a villain, he should be locked up in prison immediately. It makes no sense for such a villain to win the World Cup. So the winner is Gwangikgong.”

    “That’s what I’m talking about now-”

    “Directly, to the whole world, to everyone.”

    Damn.

    A bridge of ice was created.

    Toward the exact center of the stadium, on top of the ice bridge where everyone can see.

    “We will lay the board down. Let’s go and say it in person, in front of everyone.”

    “Hmph! I knew I couldn’t do it!!”

    The chairman held the microphone and walked towards the bridge.

    The president of the association tried to stop him by moving his body, but no one could move due to Baek Seol-hee’s cold gaze.

    “If a person like that is president, the country will just be left alone.”

    A sentence passed out as if laughing.

    “Isn’t that so? Is it Jinho?”

    “Um, are you planning to immigrate? I guess it’ll be okay. Shall I go too?”

    At that one sentence, the Chairman’s steps stopped.

    “Where are you going?”

    “I don’t know. I should go to a place with nice mountains and good water to have children and raise them. To a place where there are no people screaming and pointing at the villain’s child. What do you want to do?”

    “Hmm… First, I guess I have to go on a trip.”

    “What, what…?!”

    From Gwangyukkong’s mouth, something he didn’t think he would say came out.

    ” Now that I think about it, I’ve never been abroad before, have I? I’ve been to Jeju Island and Ulleungdo on a mission, but I went there alone too.”

    “So?”

    “I’m going on a honeymoon with my wife. Where should we go? Mr. President, where did you go on your honeymoon?”

    “Me, me?”

    The President was taken aback for a moment, but cleared his throat and cleared his voice.

    “Well, that’s…. Huh.”

    And then.

    “…back in my day, going to Hawaii was a symbol of success.”

    I straightened my back and looked around.

    “It was a time when overseas travel itself was considered a symbol of wealth. I couldn’t go anywhere without permission. The only place I could go for my honeymoon was Hawaii. It was a week, but it was a short time.”

    “I see.”

    When Gwangikkong turned his head towards Baek Seolhee, their eyes met and they both stepped forward at the same time.

    “What…!”

    “Chairman.”

    ” Now that I think about it, I feel indebted to the congressman in many ways. The person who gathered party opinions during the pregnancy warrant was a member of the National Assembly.”

    Jeez.

    Gwang Ik-gong and Baek Seol-hee stood on either side of the chairman, facing each other.

    “Scissors.”

    “Rock.”

    “”Bo.””

    In an instant, victory or defeat was decided.

    “Oh, you lost? I strengthened my eyesight to win.”

    “You can use it similarly to future prediction. I gained enlightenment through this battle. It’s only 1 second, though.”

    “What crazy things are you talking about…. You’re kidding, right?”

    “Well, ”

    Gwangik-gong, who won from Baek Seol-hee with his fist, stood in front of the chairman with his fist clenched.

    “Chairman. Regardless of whether I win a gold or silver medal, I will propose to my wife and go on our honeymoon.”

    “Now…are you threatening me? Gwangikgong is going on an overseas trip! To change my nationality…!”

    “No way. I am a proud Korean. Although others may be embarrassed, I have no intention of changing my nationality. But.”

    Gwangikkong continued clenching his fists and lightly nodded his head towards Baek Seolhee.

    “If your wife becomes unwell during your honeymoon and needs long-term treatment at a local hospital, isn’t that inevitable? About 10 months.”

    “You, you…!”

    “The difference between Doblin and me was those 10 months. If I fill it, I will be able to win.”

    Moment.

    “Then.”

    As reflected in the chairman’s eyes, Gwangikong’s eyes were about half filled with black.

    “What, what…!”

    Phew.

    A speed as fast as light that no one could recognize.

    dump.

    The chairman collapsed.

    “Chairman?!”

    Gwangikkong supported the chairman, who had fallen forward with a surprised look on his face.

    “If you suddenly collapse…”

    “……I saw it.”

    Only Baek Seol-hee could see Gwangikkong’s hand move.

    “Well, congratulations.”

    “Second place?”

    “What has changed.”

    “……We need to show this with action in the future.”

    The two heroes exchange words that some people can guess, but those just listening cannot guess.

    “Not words.”

    The golden sun illuminating the stadium set, and the sky slowly began to turn black.

    “Mr. President.”

    “Well, do you have anything to say?”

    “You did well in second place, so how about just having a celebration?”

    “…….”

    In the stands, somewhere.

    -Yaaaa!! You did well in second place too!!

    -Yaaaa!! You did well in second place too!!

    Voices of support for Gwangikong rang out.

    …The reason I heard it twice is that the voice that rang first must have come out through the speaker.

    “…Everyone!!”

    Gwangikkong raised his voice and shouted.

    “Next time, I will winㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!”

    In a more reassuring voice than ever before.
