13. Empire of the Glans.

“Who do you think you are, waving your hands around here? I’m the only one allowed to do that here.”

“E-Euna…!”

 

Sora-nuna is holding her reddened cheek.

Hmm. If the victim is this pretty and pitiful, I can’t forgive them even more.

 

 

“Why are you just getting hit? You should’ve punched them the moment you saw them.”

“Well, that’s….”

“Who are you!!”

 

The couple, who had fallen pathetically, get up.

They say couples resemble each other, and they both have fierce expressions.

 

 

But if there’s a difference, it’s that the woman is at least somewhat presentable. The makeup and decorations suit her quite well.

 

No, let’s not misunderstand. It’s not like she’s incredibly beautiful like Sonya-ssi, but just that she’s pretty considering her age.

 

Still, she must have been quite a beauty when she was younger. Is that why a decent-looking guy like Unhyun was born? The dad is completely at squid level.

 

 

“What do you mean, ‘What am I?’ Can’t you tell from my attitude? I’m the owner here.”

 

Perhaps they were offended by my textbook example of arrogance, as both of their faces turned completely red.

 

 

“Oh, so you’re the bastard who cheated with this bitch!”

 

Oh. Quick on the uptake, huh??

 

 

“Birds of a feather flock together, what a sight.”

“You’re young, but you look like you’re all about women. The bitch who spreads her legs for a guy like you is no different. To think we considered that kind of woman as a wife for Unhyun. It makes me sick!”

“If it makes you sick, go die. Don’t do that here.”

“You…you impudent…!”

 

Unable to contain his anger at my provocation, the ajussi swung his arm with a whoosh.

It flew accurately towards my cheek, but I have no intention of just taking it like Sora-nuna.

 

 

Ppagaak!

 

 

“Kkeuaaaaaak!!”

“Honey!”

 

 

Ah. Don’t misunderstand.

I just raised my arm to block it.

It’s just that the ajussi’s bone broke on its own.

 

 

“Oops. I’m so sorry. As you just experienced, my body is a bit strong.”

“H-Hey. Are you okay?”

 

Yuna-ssi asks with a face dripping with cold sweat.

It seems she’s quite bothered by messing with her elders.

 

 

“What is it?”

“Doing it like this….”

 

Well, there are a lot of eyes watching.

It’s the lobby, so there are quite a few guild members. Besides, if they’re not maids, they’re not completely loyal to me. Maybe a video will be circulating on the internet around tonight… something like ‘Lobby Slapping Guy’…

 

 

“It doesn’t matter. This is my land now, and if I, as the Emperor, can’t stop something like this, even if it’s just my job, then I’m useless.”

“No…that’s not the issue here….”

“The feeling you’re experiencing right now, Yuna-ssi, is merely a remnant of Confucianism. Cast it aside!”

“It’s not a Confucian issue, it’s a matter of conscience.”

 

Well…same difference.

 

 

“What the hell are you doing!!!”

“Wow…pinhole…are your eyes pinholes? I didn’t do anything, why are you yelling at me.”

“You…!”

“H-Honey!”

 

The woman tries to do something, but before she can, the ajussi stops her with a pained expression.

 

 

“Let’s not associate with them…it’s pointless to deal with guys like this.”

“But…our Unhyun…Unhyun!!”

“Unhyun what? Why are you looking for a guy who went on a rampage, committed serial murders, and got executed? Did you lose his corpse or something?”

“Wow…you really have no filter.”

 

I notice one of the guild members turning pale! Well, it’ll be fine.

 

 

Pudeuk.

 

 

The woman glares at me, grinding her teeth.

Oh, quite….

 

“I’m going to kill you!”

“If you really want to, why don’t you come to my bed.”

“!!”

 

Ah. That look of shock, shame, and anger…just my type. It would be better if she were a little younger…should I look for an item?

 

 

“You son of a bitch!!”

 

He told her not to, but when his wife is sexually harassed, he charges at me again.

Does the rest of his arm have to break for him to come to his senses?

 

 

Ppeoeok!

 

 

I kicked his leg lightly instead of his arm.

He then dives headfirst in an unsightly manner.

 

Of course, the leg he was kicked with broke.

 

 

“Kkeueueulk…!”

 

Now he’s even foaming at the mouth.

The wife rushes to him, shouting ‘Ah!’, and examines him here and there.

 

 

“A-Ambulance! Call 119! Quickly!!”

 

 

She shouts urgently, but no one calls. Everyone is just watching me.

 

“What are you doing!! I said call quickly!”

“Well…you can do it with your phone.”

“Ah…”

 

She’s completely out of it.

 

 

Anyway, what should I do with these people?

Judging by their personalities, if I just send them outside, they’ll probably run wild….

 

 

“What do you think?”

“About what?”

 

While the woman is frantically calling, I ask Yuna-ssi and Sora-nuna.

Sora-nuna is still holding her cheek, which seems to be quite sore from the hit.

 

“Those people. Don’t you think they’ll become a nuisance if we let them out?”

“…So you’re saying we should kill them here?”

“Hey…Yuna-ssi, your language is too harsh. How could you think of such a thing?”

“…Do you want to get hit?”

“Ahem…even if it’s not to that extent, shouldn’t we deal with them in some way?”

“Hey, Euna…do you know who those people are?”

“Of course. They’ve been calling their son’s name this whole time. They’re the parents of that guy named Unhyun, right?”

“….”

 

 

Nuna nods slightly.

 

 

“This is all because of meㅡ.”

“Uh-uh. Don’t say such a sad thing. Nuna is my wife, and my wife’s business is my business. And frankly, it’s nothing.”

 

 

Keu. Isn’t this honestly a touching thing to sㅡ.

 

 

“No, that’s not it…those people…their son already died like that…I’m just wondering if we really have to do anything….”

“Nuna got slapped, didn’t you? We should sweep away those kinds of people.”

“I’m okay. I actually feel relieved.”

“Hmm.”

 

She’s kind in strange ways…

 

No, that’s not it.

It’s probably because if the parents of a human who died horribly due to a butterfly effect caused by her breaking off her engagement with her former fiancé because she cheated on him are being mistreated in front of her, Nuna wouldn’t feel comfortable.

I think it’s unavoidable as a minimum of humanity….

 

 

But,

 

I don’t have any of that.

Should I just send them back today and deal with them later? Well, if she were a peerless beauty like Sonya-ssi, I wouldn’t even hesitate, but she’s not that level…and she’s old. I’ll just get some items in the meantime.

 

 

“Eunju-ya.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Have Ah-heuk’s clone take those people to the hospital.”

“…Huh???”

“…What’s with that expression.”

“No…are you serious? For once….”

“Don’t say useless things and go quickly.”

“Yes.”

 

Eunju tilted her head and walked out of the lobby with the two men and women.

 

Hmm….

 

 

Suddenly, an enormous amount of attention is focused on me.

 

 

“What’s the matter?”

“What do you mean?”

“I thought you would kill the man and capture the woman to defile her.”

“Ahem…how unsportsmanlike…do you see me as that kind of person?”

“It should be 1 Ru 2 Teul somewhere. You’ve always been like that.”

“It hasn’t even been two months since we met, so it’s hard to say ‘always’.”

“That’s enough to make a rough judgment. You’re an incorrigible pervert.”

 

Tsk. This won’t do. Should I just hug her right here?

 

 

“Yuna-ssi fell for that kind of me, didn’t you?”

“!!”

 

Her face turns bright red.

Ah. Yuna-ssi is cute after all. I really want to hug her.

 

 

“Thank you, Euna.”

“There’s nothing to thank me for. I just let them go leniently because it’s your first offense(?). And now you’re the Emperor.”

 

By the way, I don’t know why Nuna is thanking me. Was she that uncomfortable? About that guy?

Tch…it hasn’t even been two months, so I guess it’s natural. Well, it can’t be helped. They say you can’t control people’s hearts.

 

 

“Unhyun is dead anyway. And my favorability is 100.”

“Huh?”

“It’s nothing, never mind. We were going shopping, right? Let’s go. Let’s buy everything.”

 

Shopping, which is called the legendary raid for men.

I’ve found the perfect strategy for it.

That is….

 

 

 

 

Just buy everything you see!

 

 

 

 

 

Then you only have to go around once?? Right???

You just go around once and buy everything, right? Too simple?

 

 

You can do anything if you have money. So let’s head to the department store with peace of mindㅡ.

 

 

“Ah. Then let’s go to Myeongdong first.”

“How about going to Dongdaemun first?”

“Hmm…isn’t it too cheap for us to go there?”

“Myeongdong isn’t that expensive either.”

“Ah! Then let’s set a date today and go around everywhere! Let’s match everything from head to toe.”

H-Hey? Aren’t we…going to the department store?

 

“Huh? What are you talking about? When it comes to shopping, you have to go around on a ‘regional basis’. Should we go to Songdo this time? I heard a huge shopping mall opened there.”

“Ah. I heard about it too. Then, since Yu-eun-ssi might get tired, let’s go to Dongdaemun, then Myeongdong, then Songdo. And um…was it Suwon? If you go down a bit, there’s a big shopping mall there too.”

“Isn’t it Chungnam? Are you talking about the one with 20 floors?”

“That’s right.”

“Yeah. It’s Chungnam. Then, up to there?”

“Yes. Let’s do a food tour while we’re at it. There’s a really delicious kalguksu place in Ulsan.”

“Oh. Then we can have dinner there. Would it be better to just sleep over and come back up?”

“Tomorrow, let’s stop by Busan right away. An offline equipment center opened there. A week ago.”

“Offline???”

“Yes. There are some in foreign countries, but it’s the first one to open in Korea. You can try on items and equipment made by each company directly. You can also get detailed explanations.”

“Wow! Then let’s go there too!”

“And the day after tomorrow….”

 

 

Stop it, you crazy bitches.
