“Where can I give the information?”

I went straight to the main topic.

I asked to see him anyway, and the reason was obvious even without looking at it.

Since the reconnaissance was completed safely, I’m guessing you’d like to give me some information.

To be precise, it was clear that it was to see the information first and take the lead.

I personally went to Busan, scouted, and brought back information… ramen.

Because it was weighty enough to go directly to the minister instead of Oh Han-young and give it to him.

To what extent my thoughts were correct, Oh Han-young just smiled meaningfully.

Yeah, he seemed like that.

I thought I would review the information with Kang Gil and find a way to gain some advantage in the middle.

Still, it didn’t matter to me.

If I tolerate this, Oh Han-young and Kang-gil will take more care of me.

“Give it to me and I will pass it on to you.”

“I don’t know if I can give this to you. Oh, I’m not saying you’re inferior.”

“I know. The information you brought will be very valuable.”

“I feel like handing it over to the minister directly, but I also have some things to prepare.”

“Okay.”

I handed Oh Han-young a notebook.

Oh Han-young slowly opened the notebook and frowned.

“Why. What’s going on?”

“I didn’t know that the teacher had bad handwriting.”

“It’s not so much that you can’t read the content, right?”

“That’s true, but I think a separate organizing process is needed.”

“… ”

Honestly, I thought I was ordinary, but…

Looking at the two people’s expressions, they seemed quite difficult to read.

Still, it won’t be so bad that you won’t be able to understand the content.

My handwriting is a little odd, but it’s not like I can’t write.

Fortunately, Oh Han-young seemed to be able to read what I wrote.

He said he would keep reading and tell me if there’s anything he doesn’t recognize.

I kept reading for a few minutes and didn’t say anything like that.

After roughly reading the entire notebook, Oh Han-young closed it and opened her mouth.

“It’s quite surprising.”

“What.”

“The information the teacher organized was so detailed.”

“Then isn’t that a good thing?”

“Teacher, you are a brave person.”

“… ?”

I racked my brain for a moment to understand its meaning.

Brave, that means a brave general.

First of all, I don’t think I’m swearing… is not it? Are you swearing?

But it seemed like bravery couldn’t be an insult.

If I had answered hastily here, I could have been embarrassed.

So, you have to be good at saying what that means.

He gently gave me a look that had the meaning of a warning.

“I thought you might be weak in this area, so I thought I would organize things by asking questions to the teacher at the meeting.”

“So?”

“I didn’t know that you were a person with civil service skills.”

Oh Han-young laughed as he spoke up to that point.

Although the laugh was a little unpleasant, it didn’t seem like an insult.

After delivering the information, I asked Oh Han-young a few questions.

On the surface, it meant that there would be no major problems as war was coming soon, but…

In reality, it was to take advantage of that to find out about loopholes and such.

Fortunately, Oh Han-young did not have any suspicions and began to reveal information to me.

The survivors in a certain area were a little strange.

Recently, with strict regulations on firearms, public officials were reorganized.

When you’re marching down the highway, you’re thinking about how to deal with the zombies.

Well, he kept talking like that, as if he was asking my thoughts.

So, I mobilized all the experience I had accumulated over the years and told a plausible story.

But gradually, the expressions of Oh Han-young and Kang Gil began to change.

therefore… It felt like he was wary of me.

It’s like I didn’t think it was that important before, but it doesn’t seem to be anymore.

The atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.

I couldn’t understand this situation.

I just talked about a few things I know.

It’s not like I’m trying to look smart.

So I joked and laughed.

“No, the atmosphere is strange. I don’t think I said anything special.”

“Rather, you said words that became my flesh and bones.”

Oh Han-young forced a smile.

Kang Gil was also looking at me with serious eyes that were different from before.

I just smiled sheepishly and shook my head.

Now that I see it, it looks like these bastards were just looking down on me.

He’s strong, but he looks stupid, so they probably wanted to take advantage of him.

So I tried to gently coax him, but he ended up realizing my true value.

The hero I mentioned earlier would probably just criticize him for being stupid.

Now that he heard me answer, he seemed to realize that I was smarter than I thought.

I wanted to do something, but it wasn’t a good idea to be hostile toward Oh Han-young and Kang-gil right now.

Rather, I thought it would be a good idea to use my now changed impression to warn him of something.

So I thought of a suitable sentence.

I didn’t think it would be a good idea to threaten too blatantly.

In that case, it would be better to threaten here like this.

“Well, they say he is a person with both civil and military skills. Then you should do at least this much.”

As soon as I said that, I could feel the atmosphere becoming colder.

Are you going to hit me like this? It was to the point where I thought,

It seemed like they didn’t have the courage to do that.

He’s probably trying to establish friendly relations again rather than doing something to me by now.

So I said it was a joke, and then slowly watched the reaction.

Fortunately, they both seemed to be trying to brush off my warning as a joke.

Now that I’ve done this, I feel like they won’t look down on me next time.

And it was easier to prove my worth that way.

The level of authority in the Jinju Citizens’ Union must be high to make it easier to carry out operations.

However, since we couldn’t be completely hostile towards these two, we chose a different topic and started talking.

The two also started engaging in conversation as if they had met a good person.

After the conversation of deceiving each other like that, I returned home.

Park Kang-chan was looking at the house intently.

While I was away, he seemed to have developed a hobby of taking care of plants, and was spraying water in the yard with a watering can.

I slowly walked there and waved.

Only then did Park Kang-chan look at me and bow his head.

“Are you growing plants?”

“No.”

“Then what, ah.”

Now I see that it is a plant.

It looked like water was being sprinkled on the firewood pile, probably for smoking purposes.

I looked at the firewood for a while and asked something I was curious about.

“You have to soak it in water for the smoke to come out right?”

“Yes.”

“You need to spray it evenly, so you spray it with a watering can?”

“Yes.”

“Oh… Do you have any know-how? Where did you learn it?”

“I read it in a book.”

“Ah.”

“What on earth were you thinking?”

Park Kang-chan made a pitiful expression.

I responded appropriately. So, I thought Park Kang-chan learned how to smoke by practicing.

I thought I learned this by heading to the ground, but I didn’t.

So, when I explained that the illusion had been broken, Park Kang-chan’s eyes became even colder.

It was like looking at someone who couldn’t even memorize the multiplication table, so I was tired of making excuses for a while.

Still, when I saw that he believed my excuses that weren’t mine, I thought it would be safe to say that I felt affectionate towards him.

To be honest, I was just spouting random nonsense, but he nodded in agreement.

At this point, I started asking Park Kang-chan about smoking methods.

There are tips and such that I learned while practicing.

Although Park Kang-chan said he had only recently learned it, he told me most of what he knew.

So that day, I spent most of my time studying smoking with Park Kang-chan.

And for the next few days, I was really busy.

After giving some answers during the meeting with Oh Han-young and Kang Gil, I was often called to more nutritious positions.

In addition to giving comprehensive speeches at meetings, he also had meetings with high-ranking government officials.

Aside from that, I also went around various places and got my face stamped.

Unlike me, who just had to show off, Park Kang-chan worked very hard.

I have to find out information about the people I met, and coordinate my schedule in the process.

He also had to answer the questions I asked out of the blue, so he seemed busier than I was these past few days.

Still, thanks to her help, the work wasn’t difficult.

And I was able to receive unexpected help.

Lee Han-cheol must have been a very meticulous person, so every time someone sent me a gift, he wrote down their job titles and such in a memo.

Thanks to this, I was able to have no problem with my pronunciation just by memorizing what was written on the paper.

In fact, Lee Han-cheol did not seem to think that he had provided such help.

Since high-ranking people often send me deliveries, their military discipline was closer than that of the guards.

However, after getting through the busy period, things seemed to be getting better.

Above all, the meat shield plan I advocated seemed to be working to some extent.

Now all that was left was to participate in the gathering of saints and persuade them.

It didn’t matter if I couldn’t persuade them, it seemed like it would be a place where I could relax.

“I’ll go to a meeting and come back.”

As I said that, I leaned the baton and the Cheonmachong against the wall.

The person I met earlier was someone who thought he was using a lot of force, so I needed to bring a weapon and make him feel intimidated.

But since there was no need for saints, I thought it would be okay to leave it like this.

Park Kang-chan said he should take at least one with him, but whatever.

It didn’t seem like there would be any problems.
