Chapter Index

    I was invited to the penthouse on the highest floor of a 30-story hotel, the tallest building in Samcheok City.

    “Welcome, Manager Do. What do you want to do first? rice? shower? Or me?”

    “Can all three be done at the same time?”

    “Oh….”

    The woman laughed at my words.

    “I never imagined I would receive it like that.”

    “Because I’m used to playing around like that.”

    “Oh my, what if it’s not a joke?”

    “Then let’s start with the car.”

    I sat on the chair next to the tea table.

    “Can I release the transformation?”

    “Are you transforming? It doesn’t matter… Wait a minute.”

    I immediately canceled the transformation.

    The clothes that were sticking to my skin were immediately released, and the woman walked towards the minibar and then straight to the entrance of the room.

    “What are you doing now!”

    “Why are you embarrassed? Between us.”

    “Put it on right now!”

    “You told me to wear it, so I will, but it’s past time to worry about such things.”

    “I mean, keep your manners, manners!”

    The woman got angry and threw the gown at me, and I immediately put it on and tied my belt.

    “It’s much better. Because I always feel like I’m walking around naked when I’m wearing Mana.”

    “That’s right?”

    “What you see on the outside is that you’re wearing a suit, so it’s okay because other people won’t think that way.”

    “…You’re just saying whatever you want, right?”

    “Yes.”

    The woman twitched the corner of her mouth and brought a drink in front of me.

    It’s not alcohol.

    It’s black tea.

    The minibar is already full of alcohol, but neither she nor I have any intention of drinking.

    “What brings you here?”

    “That’s what I want to ask. I was surprised to suddenly feel your magical power in the sea.”

    “That’s because it’s drifting. I went to Sejong Island.”

    I told the woman my situation.

    The woman listened to me with a serious expression, and I explained my situation in detail so that she could understand.

    “So, you went to persuade Platinum Sun and stopped for a while due to lack of fuel on the way back to Seoul? Have you ever had a fight with Platinum Taeyang?”

    “There was no physical conflict. Instead, we had a bit of a war of nerves using mana.”

    Ymir groped me, and I did my best to protect my body from her touch.

    As a result, my magical power decreased a bit, and riding the bike consumed more mana than I thought.

    “I plan to never go back and forth to Sejong Island again. It would be easier to just take a boat and travel by car.”

    “It seems the mana consumption was more severe than I thought. I should have told him to rest in peace… but I thought Manager Do had come to support me.”

    “Support?”

    “Yes. It’s a war zone right here.”

    “…….”

    I guess I took a wrong step.

    no.

    You may have made the right move.

    Regardless of my lack of mana, the place where goblins should be is the execution ground.

    “Where there are bad villains, there are goblins. What’s going on?”

    “October Travel. Do you know?”

    “Isn’t this an airline? A company that has taken a big step forward at Yangyang Airport.”

    Of course, all airports in Korea are managed by the Korea Airports Corporation, a public corporation.

    However, I understand that in places like Incheon and Yangyang, where foreigners frequently visit, foreign airlines have succeeded in putting in their shares through various lobbies, and October Travel has put all of its shares in Yangyang.

    I also used it sometimes.

    When I was attending the ceremony, I often flew first class, and since I was a foreign airline, I had many opportunities to eat Western food as an in-flight meal, which was nice.

    “That’s right. When it comes to using international airlines, everyone uses October Travel. But a problem arose. The chairman of October Travel and his granddaughter are here in Samcheok right now?”

    “Do you have a pad where I can research data? I left my Taegeuk watch in Seoul.”

    “I’ll tell you. What are you curious about?”

    “That granddaughter, from what I remember, she was a person with special abilities.”

    “That’s right.”

    I remember.

    In the original work, she is one of the supporting female characters.

    “The name is….”

    “Juliana Faygreen. According to international standards, he is a C-level person. I have to go up to Yangyang and take an international flight, but I’m staying in Samcheok because I’ve received death threats.”

    “The people at October Travel are not the kind of people who won’t fly or go to Yangyang just because the chairman’s granddaughter, Young-ae, is receiving death threats… What happened?”

    “The organization that made the death threat is stronger than we thought.”

    The woman showed me another photo.

    In the CCTV photo, which was of poor quality, some familiar people were heading down an alley, and I could immediately recognize who they were.

    “This is where this bad relationship continues.”

    “That’s right. The guys who said they are going to cause terrorism right now are… the ‘Hwalbindang’.”

    The woman twitched the corner of her mouth.

    At the same time, I also burst into laughter.

    “Why did the Hwalbindang attack Yuliana? Because I’m a foreigner?”

    “If that were the reason, we would have suffered all kinds of terrorist attacks a long time ago, right? That’s not the reason. It’s really amazing when you listen to it…”

    The woman slowly lowered her upper body towards me.

    “I’m sorry I’m on a mission, but if you can help me, I can let you know.”

    “Would you give me some horsepower?”

    “There’s nothing you can’t do. Instead, I can’t do it for long. Things are going on right now, so we’re fighting in real time.”

    “Then please excuse me. Let’s finish it as quickly as possible.”

    I got up.

    “Then, please help me provide some magical energy, Hye-ra.”

    “Where is the sudden calling by name…?”

    “Then do you call me by his name or the villain’s name?”

    name. Hyera Yoon.

    This ability. S-class. Pyrokinesis – Flame magic.

    “Honestly, all the names of executives at Lee Mae Mangyang are disgusting.”

    “……You are now trying to shake the foundation of Immamangyang. You know?”

    “Okay. Personally, I think everything should be changed to the ‘original name’.”

    “Ugh, I don’t like that. I especially hate it. That’s me.”

    “Wouldn’t it be better than ‘Gunggi’?”

    “That’s not the name of a villain!”

    “Yes, yes. Okay.”

    Villain name. [Gunggi].

    “Provide magical energy…. No, I will retrieve some of my magical energy within you. I will take it directly from the magic bag.”

    “…….”

    “Shall we start by singing the first verse of the national anthem?”

    How to restore horsepower in the country?

    “If it hurts, tell me. Hye-ra.”

    “It can’t hurt…!”

    Of course, it’s soup.

    * * *

    That time.

    A blonde woman staying in a suite on the 29th floor of a hotel in Sokcho gritted her teeth with a nervous look on her face.

    “Ugh, why am I like this…”

    The woman’s cheeks were swollen.

    As if she had been hit by something, she pressed her reddened face with her hand and gritted her teeth.

    “Ssi….”

    “Does it hurt? I’m sorry.”

    The old man across from the woman, Desmond Feigrin, chairman of October Travel, lowered his head with a heavy face.

    “But you know. What kind of product is that?”

    “I know. You know, I didn’t mean to take it home.”

    “You know that if it becomes known to the outside world, we will be finished.”

    “…But when you take it back to your home country, the effect will be enormous.”

    Desmond couldn’t help but lament at his granddaughter Yuliana’s proposal.

    “Grandpa. Think of your country. We can’t live in this small country forever with our heads down.”

    “But Yuliana. The moment your actions go wrong, everyone in our company can suffer. You know that, right?”

    “I will handle that. Just say it was my own doing and that I planned it alone.”

    “So, there is such a thing as owner risk…”

    “I did something wrong, but why is the company suffering? I’m not even from the company.”

    “Ha.”

    Desmond explained several times, but to no avail.

    “You saw the case of Stern. Ermina Sternfert, a Class A psychic, became a demon while trying to kill a Class E psychic, and lost all of her abilities. What happened after that? Now Stern is on the verge of bankruptcy.”

    “Even if it is on the verge of bankruptcy, it will not go bankrupt.”

    “It’s not something I can talk about so comfortably…”

    “It’s okay. Everything will be fine. Is there anyone who moves thinking that it won’t work out?”

    Desmond felt dizzy.

    Although the granddaughter clearly had outstanding abilities, she still lacked the perspective and experience to see the world.

    No, this is unavoidable.

    Because he is only a 17-year-old child.

    As Desmond’s granddaughter, she had as much experience as possible compared to others, but she was still a child who thought the world revolved around her.

    “Juliana. Are you sure you can protect that ‘thing’ from that gangster?”

    “Yes. Of course. With my ability, I will never be found out where I am. So, right now, they are trying to catch me at Hwalbindang and kill me.”

    Sigh.

    The corners of Yuliana’s mouth twitched.

    “This is a game between them and me. In the age of supernatural abilities, I am taking the most precious thing with me, and the Hwalbindang is targeting me. If I leave the country safely with that item, I win, and if I fail, I get killed.”

    “First of all, to the country….”

    “No. Don’t say it.”

    Yuliana shook her head resolutely.

    “This is something I got from my grandfather after being slapped on the face, and if I ask for help now that I can’t take it back-”

    Creak.

    I heard something moving upstairs.

    Subtly, I felt like I could hear the national anthem.

    “Tsk. It’s a suite room, but is there any noise between floors?…”

    Yuliana raised her middle finger toward the ceiling.

    “Just eat this.”

    “Understand, Yuliana. They are ‘patriotic’ right now.”

    “Patriotism is not everything.”

    “In this country, it’s patriotism. The person staying long-term in the 30th floor penthouse is patriotic, so of course there won’t be people with special abilities.”

    “…Is everything patriotic as long as it produces talented people? Oh, really.”

    Yuliana was tossing around in bed and getting irritated.

    “Hey!! Don’t make me sound patriotic!!”

    Still, the bed creaked.
