One day, I had a conversation like that with the head of the company.

“Do I really need to shout out the name of the technology?”

“Yes.”

The leader declared:

“Don’t you feel that way sometimes? It’s childish or something. Advertising to the other person what kind of technology I will use.”

“Crying out the name of the technology is self-suggestion.”

“Self-suggestion?”

“Yes. This is to use my skills more reliably, more strongly, and without weakening them.”

The leader gave a new answer to my question.

“Let’s give this technology a name.”

The commander wrapped his fist in flames and swung it forward.

“Hmm…. Flame punch?”

“For simplicity, it is called ‘fire punch’.”

I deliberately changed the name to flame, but the leader called it fire punch again.

“Suppose there is a hero who has used this skill since he was E-rank. I used fire punch from the time I defeated my first villain, and I continued to use fire punch even after this ability became stronger.”

“It’s steady.”

“And at the very last moment, what if the attack made with a clenched fist was a fire punch?”

“…If you have been watching for a long time, it will touch your heartstrings.”

As a reader, I am weak at the sum-mi correlation structure.

In particular, it is quite weak to see the stubbornness of the foolishly honest protagonist succeed.

“There is that, but as a person using the technology, it is a self-suggestion that I can use the technology exactly with the output I want without being swayed by any other environment.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. Think about it. Let’s assume that Northern Europe’s S-class fire ability… Surtur, for example, developed the ‘Ragnarok Punch’.”

Afterwards, he actually used that technique.

“Let’s say someone calls the flaming fist with all its might a ‘Noryangjin spicy fist’ at a really important moment. What do you think?”

“…I feel quite bad.”

“That’s right. It makes me shake. Suddenly my skill was given an incongruous name? Although it is only slightly, the output becomes weaker.”

“In other words, it shakes and weakens the mentality of the person using it?”

“That’s right. The basis of the technology used by people with special abilities is imagination. I call this ‘power of will’. If your will weakens, your abilities will weaken, and ultimately your output will weaken.”

The commander extended his fist towards me.

“My fire punch has the destructive power to pierce the universe. Just by thinking like that, you can use close to 99% of your power.”

“Every time I hear about the leader’s way of thinking, I think it’s really unique.”

“This is a lecture you can’t take even if you pay money, so take it to heart. Manager. Oh. In that sense, our manager will take steps to avoid any awkwardness regarding such issues.”

“…Chief? Hey, over there. What are you trying to do…!”

“Stay calm.”

The leader used his magic power to forcefully put a ‘gimmick’ on me.

“Hehehe. Let me know if there are people who use techniques that seem very strong in the future. They subtly start a fight with the name of the technology and shake their mentality. There might be a time when you can survive with that, right?”

What the commander said.

Always right.

Snow White’s frozen punch, or rather, his full-power attack, was slightly weakened at the last moment.

How dare you call my attack something like ‘Freeze Punch’! I think so.

Or, among other ice-type heroes, your mental power becomes disturbed while comparing your strength with someone who uses the freeze punch.

“Ugh!”

[I’m sorry.]

Following the commander’s advice, I slightly weakened Snow White’s attack with a few words, and I took advantage of that opportunity to deal with Snow White right away.

The fastest attack is swinging the sword towards Baek Seol-hee.

If you swing your sword blade with the flame of your archery, you will definitely not be able to avoid Snow White coming down from above.

but.

‘Tsk.’

Just as Snow White tried to use only techniques to subdue me, I also felt uncomfortable using attacks that would cause blood or injury to Snow White.

Because she’s a heroine?

Because you have a fairly deep relationship with Do Ji-hwan?

Well, there are things like that.

Although it does have a bit of an impact.

There is no way to hurt an innocent hero who has no sin, especially a female hero.

Quack!

I caught Snowwhite’s fist with my left hand.

At that moment, Snow White’s eyes shook greatly, and I blocked Snow White’s attack from the front with one hand.

Kaga River!

In an instant, a chill hit me as if my hands were freezing.

Because I concentrated my archery magic on the flame sword I held in my other hand, I was unable to neutralize Snowwhite’s chill with my shallow magic power.

Damn it!

My hand, which was holding Snow White’s hand, began to freeze.

Snowwhite’s eyes shook greatly, perhaps because he was surprised that his attack worked, or because he was surprised that I grabbed his hand instead of attacking him with my sword.

“Why…!”

[You can’t hurt a patriotic hero.]

I parried Snow White’s attack and pulled her towards me.

Suddenly, she fell head-on towards me and was hugged, and I pulled her frozen hand to my arm and turned my body to the side.

“!!”

In an instant, his body flipped over and almost fell to the ground, and Snowwhite twisted his body to try to get away from me.

However, perhaps because her determination to catch me was so great, the ice on her hand that was connected to mine did not fall, and she fell headlong to the floor.

Naturally, I took steps to keep her from hitting the ground.

In an instant, he put his foot under her lower back and sprayed magical energy to reduce the impact. He cushioned the impact of the fall as much as possible with magical energy, allowing Snowwhite to fall to the ground easily.

“Ah…?”

A question flashes in Snow White’s eyes.

Of course.

Why didn’t he attack me with a knife?

Why did he allow the attack to the point of damaging his own body?

Why are you treating me so well ‘again’?

Why does the villain executioner, who kills all evil villains unconditionally, treat himself so gentlemanly?

“You…!”

[Don’t be mistaken.]

I aimed the tip of the sword held in one hand at Snowwhite’s neck.

[I didn’t look after you. When a hero falls, the world becomes more confused, and it becomes annoying to me, so I don’t hurt you.]

“Kkkk…!”

[Others said that. I keep looking after you because I think of you rationally.]

“!!”

Snowwhite’s eyes show a hint of displeasure.

I think he felt upset when I directly mentioned the part he was most concerned about.

[I think she is an attractive woman. But that’s it. You are the hero, and I am the villain.]

I pulled back the foot that was resting on the back of Snowwhite’s back.

[If you are ready to kill the villain, I will come to you then. Personally, I’m really looking forward to it. If Snow White is on our side and wants to kill villains and demons, it will be a great help to our cause and ambition.]

“Who is on your side…!”

[You don’t know what’s going on in the world.]

I retrieved the sword and poured magical energy into the hand that held hers.

Saaaa.

White smoke leaked out from my arm, and the magic power of Snow White that eroded my arm was pushed out by the magic power of the archer.

It looked like ice was melting, and I backed away from Snowwhite.

[by the way….]

What if this woman really doesn’t know that I’m a goblin?

Would subtly appealing to me that the goblin is Do Ji-hwan be helpful to me?

‘What do we do?’

There are two reactions from the woman.

One is that they are swayed by emotions and are unable to report their identity even though they know it, and continue to have a close relationship with me.

The other is a strong sense of betrayal and tries to kill Goblin, Do Ji-hwan, and Nabal.

But what is clear is that even if I am acting like a goblin towards this woman right now, if I treat her with a shattered personality, I may get scolded later.

-Why did you do that then? Why did you treat me so rudely? yes? Answer me.

…The risk is high, but I decided to follow my instinct.

[Excuse me.]

I reached out to Snowwhite and helped her up from the floor.

“Don’t touch it.”

Snowwhite quickly slapped my hand away with his sharp eyes.

The attack was so fierce and fast that it was the sharpest and most ferocious attack Baek Seol-hee had ever made against me.

[hmm….]

My hands hurt.

I definitely hit my hand away with the back of my hand, but even though I stretched out my hand with the magic power of the palace, my fingers still felt like they were cold.

“Never, never touch my body again.”

Snow White stood up on his own, warning me in a cold voice.

“Because I own the body.”

[…….]

I’m the guy you’re talking about.

[That’s good. Is he a good person?]

“Of course. He’s a handsome, cool, and kind man who can’t even be compared to someone like you. The bat is probably bigger than you, right?”

[…….]

Should I take it off if I suddenly go?

So how will this woman react?

I can lean a little, but unfortunately I don’t have time for that.

Coo goo goo.

The glacier that split the side disappeared along with the fog.

The time the magic held its form passed, and I backed away from Snowwhite.

[It’s time.]

Slowly, enough attention was drawn, and now the work was done.

If we had to fight more here, it would be just scratches, and if we showed this much of a spectacle, we would have shown enough ‘showmanship’ to the people.

[I look forward to it, Snow White.]

I canceled the union with Gungi.

He returned to his usual suit and gentleman goblin appearance, put on a gentleman hat, and climbed on the back of Gungi, who had become a winged tiger.

[Hello.]

fluttering.

Gungi flapped his wings and flew into the sky, and I left the airport.

“Well, there–!”

It seemed like someone was shouting loudly from below, but there was no one who could chase the gunggi that flew into the sky.

[excuse me. are you okay?]

[hmm. I think I broke a bone. It hurts.]

[Ah, idiot.]

Gungi asked me in a worried voice.

[When you return to your accommodation, immediately transform. Ugh, that’s why I took it with my hand! Why didn’t you just cut yourself with a knife?]

[You can’t do that.]

I held on to my sore left hand.

[Playing with a woman’s mind and not hurting her body, but breaking her hand is cheap.]

Although it was a stupid move.

[I have no regrets.]
