“You mean goblin, maybe when you cancel the transformation you just end up naked or something?”

After changing clothes and taking a shower.

“Why do you think that?”

“The transformation scene has never been caught by anyone before.”

“What does that have to do with nakedness?”

“Now that I’m naked, I’m trying hard not to undo my transformation in front of others. Isn’t it? Teacher?”

I had tea time and talked with Ymir until close to midnight.

“That could be possible. But if the goblin knew that, would he really let the person who found out live?”

“If you don’t want to die, just keep your mouth shut?”

“Wouldn’t they force him to shut up with a goblin bat?”

“Then wouldn’t it be okay to just bite it off?”

“I don’t know how hard Ymir’s teeth are, but the goblin bat must be really hard too?”

“……Tch.”

Ymir frowned and flicked a drop of water from his finger at me.

“Wow. Look at his reaction. You don’t even hide it anymore?”

“It’s a skill that any ordinary person can do, right?”

“Is that an ordinary person?”

“Okay then. He’s incompetent.”

“Ha.”

I easily avoided that and then showed Ymir all the information I had found through the community through Taegeuk Watch and smartphone.

“Would you like to take a look at this?”

“What are you looking at…huh…?”

Ymir stopped breathing for a moment.

“There are a lot of crazy people like this in the world.”

There are two photos I showed Ymir.

The photo of the golden monk and the photo taken by Ymir while he was studying at the academy appeared to be overlapping at a similar angle.

“Fortunately, I think this level of overlap is limited to the point of saying, ‘It’s similar, right?’ People in this world are so evil. By overlapping photos with a student like Ymir and a hero like this, they created misunderstandings.”

“No, to this extent…?”

“Okay then. There are so many dangerous people in the world.”

For Ymir, who knows about the existence of the dark web but does not know specifically what content is exchanged on it, the dirtiness of this world cannot help but come as a shock.

“You have to be careful about this. You never know when, where or who will spread rumors like this. There may be people who say that the S+ level psychic, the magical girl Geumbudo master, and the student Ymir are the same person because their body types are similar.”

“…Now I understand why the goblin tried so hard to hide his body shape.”

Ymir glared at me and gritted his teeth.

“If you had told me earlier, I might have walked around in armor. This platinum sun. They did this to preserve the beauty and spirit of Korea for no reason. In fact, isn’t this just a trap set by a goblin?”

“Trap?”

“Because their true identity could be revealed this way, they are trying to deceive them by telling them to get help from their organization.”

“Maybe so, right? Goblins are not always good people. He’s a villain.”

I have no intention of hiding it.

Based on the spirit and beauty of Korea, do you wear a Hanbok costume to avoid being criticized by Korean people?

From the moment I saw Ymir reveal herself, I knew that someone would discover her identity.

-Isn’t this a voyeur?

-Social justice is more important than that!

-I don’t think so. He’s a foreigner. There is no way a foreigner would wear a Korean-style costume like that. And there is the most important problem.

-What is it?

-Geumbudosa is bigger.

It’s just a ‘suspicion’ for now.

If more data accumulates and evidence begins to gather, and one day it becomes a ‘breakthrough’, then it is already too late to deal with it.

“Something like smishing may suddenly be sent to Ymir’s student number. He just sent me a photo and said, ‘This is you, right?’ If something like that comes flying at you, be careful. That person is actually convinced that student Ymir is a Buddhist monk. It’s a misunderstanding, though.”

“Then what should I do?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to ask a goblin to deal with smishing criminals?”

“Does goblins do things like that?”

“If such an action is absolutely necessary for a goblin, the goblin would also roll up its sleeves and step forward. The goblin that the world sees is a villain executioner, but the purpose of the goblin’s actions is ultimately ‘for the benefit of the society.’ …All of this is Librarian Do Ji-hwan’s guess. These words.”

“…….”

Ymir nodded heavily.

As I have seen with my own eyes voyeur photos and body comparison analysis of myself as a hero, and as I have seen with my own eyes that people trying to uncover his identity do such things, I cannot help but be mentally shaken.

“I should be careful if I do anything like swimming practice at the academy…”

“The reason there is such a thing in the curriculum is for this background investigation.”

“Really?”

“Okay then. Did you just think that swimming was to develop your survival skills in the water?”

The academy is a more petty and cruel place than you might think.

In the name of patriotism, it is okay to infringe on everything about individuals.

“It’s a paradox. A hero who reveals his identity has no qualms about going to the swimming pool, but a hero who hides his identity has his identity revealed through a photo taken after going to the swimming pool once.”

“…It’s a scary world.”

“Because the world has changed due to a cataclysm.”

It is also a mistake to think that all paparazzi in the entertainment industry target people with special abilities.

Investigating people with hidden identities is not only the role of paparazzi, but also intelligence agencies such as the CIA and the National Intelligence Service.

“S+ level person with special ability. First of all, I don’t know the principle, but I can confirm that it turns a person with supernatural abilities who became a demon back into a human without supernatural abilities. I don’t know where this ability went, but it is confirmed that at least the devil’s ability can be eliminated. Up to this point, there is a lot of interest from around the world, but is it possible to steal this ability and create it as a material or keep it as one’s own? Wow, I think the whole country would be interested if there was a hero like that.”

“He is a person with extraordinary abilities who attracts so much attention from the public that even goblins are prepared to reveal his true identity…”

“Okay. I guess they say they are careful in their own way. But you have to be more careful than that.”

I adjusted my posture, sat down, and took out the photo of the goblin.

” Student Ymir said this. If the goblin cancels its transformation, it will become naked. Then question. Would a goblin be embarrassed to be naked in front of people?”

“……No.”

Ymir blushed and shook his head.

“Goblin… was full of confidence in his body.”

“Okay. I’m not someone who’s ashamed of being naked. What I’m really worried about are people trying to uncover the identity of the goblin by using the body photo. At least in that situation, you won’t cover your face.”

“Instead of covering the face, will you look at the body and find out who the goblin is?”

“Okay. This is a joke.”

never.

“If you could clearly cover your face, you would probably put your hands on your waist without flinching. How about it?”

It’s not because I’m ashamed of my naked body that I cancel my transformation to avoid other people’s eyes.

“What do you think, student Ymir?”

“…….”

Ymir wiggled his fingers for a moment and looked me up and down.

“…recognize.”

He deeply agreed with what I said.

Late at night.

It’s almost midnight, but there is no curfew for Academy students.

“You don’t have to take me home.”

“It is not male manners to send a female college student home alone late at night.”

“…Hmph. I’m a talented person.”

“How scary is the world these days? It’s a world where S-class demons suddenly appear just because they’re fooling around in the city, and a golden master appears to subdue them.”

“And it is a world where dangerous people may appear watching from behind.”

As we talked, we got closer to the dormitory.

It was a student area where faculty and staff were not allowed to enter, and in front of us, there were other men and women who were sad about parting ways.

“Honey, are you really okay? What hurts?”

“It’s okay. Because everything is healed. I’m glad my sister wasn’t hurt.”

In front of the dormitory, Fire Knuckles, an A-level talent, and what appeared to be his girlfriend were making out.

They had a serious accident just a few hours ago, but since they are alive, they can give and receive love without any hesitation.

“Over there. Hyuk. Can’t I go in today? Let’s go to my room in the official residence.”

“Sister?”

“I want to apologize to you… Even though faculty and staff cannot enter the student dormitories…”

“Sister.”

Fire Knuckles faltered as he held on to his girlfriend’s hand.

“Let’s go. Right now.”

“Oh, really…!”

The two disappeared, scattering sesame seeds.

“Hey, it’s Patriotic Pavilion. Patriotic Pavilion. In that case, the child may be throwing a firework punch in the mother’s womb.”

“What can you say like that? …No, let me ask. So what do you think the goblin will be like if he has a child?”

“Goblin’s child? Hmm… wouldn’t it depend on who gives birth to the child? Well then, go in carefully. It’s very late.”

“…….”

Ymir seemed to have some regrets, and couldn’t turn his steps.

“That, teacher. Thank you for teaching me many things today. Next time, I will go for ‘special tutoring’.”

iced coffee.

is it.

It’s that kind of setting.

“Of course. If Ymir is interested in becoming a librarian, I plan to provide special tutoring in the future.”

“Are you a librarian?”

“Okay then. The librarians at the library are the best.”

“Do, West Wing. Hmm… I understand. Well, by the way.”

Ymir seemed to have made up his mind, looked up at me and pointed to the Taegeuk watch.

“Do you have time next weekend?”

“Next weekend? At that time…”

“It was after I went to the local training center.”

Ymir took a deep breath and-

“…I want to see somewhere. 1 night 2 days.”

He looked at me intently and suggested a trip with me.

“Ulleungdo Road.”
