“Anyway, people are looking for Platinum Sun so hard. Just as they tried to find the whereabouts and identity of the goblin when it first appeared in the public eye, the whole world is paying attention to Platinum Sun.”

Since the story about goblins has come up, it is a perfect situation to mention one thing along with the story of goblins.

“What do you think is the reason? S+ level combat power? Or this ability? Geumbudosa costume?”

“The ability to purify demons into humans.”

Baek Seol-hee answered.

That’s correct.

“That’s right. Ymir has the power to purify demons. Until now, all the demons had to be killed, but now it’s a different story. It’s a bit of an analogy, but should we say that a cure for a disease that was previously known as an incurable disease has been discovered?”

Corruption is a disease.

It is an incurable disease, and those who become demons suffer from delirium and eventually become weapons of murder to kill humans.

At first, he appears rational.

In order to resolve the reason why he became a devil, he makes a rational judgment, but after resolving those feelings, all that remains is resentment and hatred towards the world.

“All demons ultimately try to kill humans. There have been no exceptions so far. The only difference is how long you can maintain your senses. Everyone thought that the only way to save the devil was to kill him.”

“You mean it’s different now?”

“Yes. Now that the platinum sun can save the devil, even the devils will come.”

I opened the ‘Devil’ section on the Villain Wiki.

In particular, the demons for which the entry was opened.

“Some demons may want to return to human form.”

It actually appears in the original work as well.

It’s an episode that appears quite late in the story, and it was the subject of a sticky and unpleasant episode that left readers who were already having a hard time following along because the events were so muddled.

“A devil who fell in love with a human, or a being that tries to turn the devil back into a human after giving birth to a devil.”

“…….”

“Yes. When a person with a special ability gives up his or her ability, it is like an ordinary person giving up a limb. In fact, it’s even worse. Because you’re losing what you’ve had since you were born.”

“But still, there may be a being who has a reason to change from a devil to a human.”

Ymir responded to my words heavily.

Ymir probably encountered such a demon and felt many things while purifying it.

Although it is a very small number of cases, 1 in 6 billion, the way we live is that our values in life can change due to that one case.

“People have different values that they cherish most, and the same goes for demons. I’m not advocating the act of killing people, just that there can be such people among devils…?”

Because Ymir saw that, he must be trying to save the devil.

“If I could save someone like that, I would run anywhere.”

Baek Seol-hee gently closed her eyes at Ymir’s strong will.

“Mr. Ymir…you are trying to walk a really difficult path.”

“Even if it is difficult, if I can save at least one person from death while walking on the road, it is okay to be a little difficult. Hehe.”

Just as I confirmed Ymir’s resolve, Baek Seol-hee once again confirmed Ymir’s mindset.

“It will be difficult to be just a hero and not a government-approved hero. You won’t receive tax support, and you’ll have to walk the path of an ordinary person and a hero at the same time.”

“So you are getting help now, right? To the teacher. And if possible, I think it would be good for Seolhee to pretend not to know me at all.”

“Of course. I’m not that kind of person. A person like that who just reported Mr. Ymir to the government without notice. How perceptive I am.”

“…….”

“Why is there no answer? Is there something I don’t know?”

“It’s a bit hard to say I don’t have any sense, but there’s one more thing I’d like to mention.”

I quickly changed the subject.

“This is it.”

“…Disappearing?”

“Yes. Goblins and Platinum Sun, too, have a skill that suddenly disappears after a battle like this.”

The basis and texture of each of these abilities are clearly different.

However, the result of suddenly disappearing from the battlefield and being out of sight is the same.

“People will think. Anyone can tell that this is movement in space. Actually it is.”

Is there a being that suddenly appears out of thin air?

Anyone can’t help but think that he has the ability to teleport.

“And I will think about it. what? Space movement? Then, if a crisis arises, won’t platinum suns appear all over the world?”

“Such ability….”

“Whether it works or not, people will think. Since it appeared out of nowhere on Ulleungdo, you might think that it could suddenly and improbably appear on the other side of the world.”

The idea that it takes time physically is erased.

“As an individual, I would think that when I suddenly face a crisis, he will suddenly appear and save me.”

When the devil tries to kill me.

Save me, Platinum Sun!! There may be people who shout:

Of course.

He spares the life of Ulleungdo’s adulterous and corrupt perpetrator, because it ‘isn’t fair’ to not spare the good man himself.

If you are a just hero, you must protect everyone equally in danger.

“Well, this is good. The reason we want heroes to protect us is because it is what everyone who faces a crisis thinks about. But the government is different.”

I took out some materials.

“The government wants talented people who can be deployed anytime, anywhere. We want talented people who can be deployed immediately, whether in a dangerous field or anywhere else. What if Platinum Sun could teleport anywhere in the country and deal with villains? If that happens…”

“…I guess I’ll try to run it 24 hours a day. To put it extremely well.”

Baek Seol-hee showed hesitation with a sour face, then sighed and said.

“The government planned one project. Hero designated residence system. We planned to assign an S class to each metropolitan city, and then assign a hero to each city and dong, A, B… one hero per administrative district. Just like a member of the National Assembly.”

“You planned something like that?”

“Yes. Ymir, you may not know this because you are from a foreign country, but there was a large-scale discussion on legislation just three years ago. It was withdrawn due to a lot of controversy.”

Baek Seol-hee smiled bitterly and displayed a map of the Korean Peninsula on the screen, dividing it into North, South, East, and West.

“If you forcefully allocate regions to heroes, the people stationed in the west will strongly protest. Especially….”

“No one will come to Seoul.”

Seoul is less popular than Chungcheong-do and Jeolla-do.

Infrastructure is important for people to live, but for people with special abilities, the closest place to Sejong Island, whether on land or sea, is important.

“There are no people at all, so there are no villains going on a rampage, but you still get paid regularly, or even though there are a lot of people, being close to Sejong Island helps increase magical power or develop special abilities.”

For someone with this ability, the most important thing is magical power.

And in this day and age, what is considered more important than the station area or the school area is whether there are people with special abilities around you, or the hero area.

“At least the old metropolitan area…the area around Seoul has become the most meaningless place in this country for people with special abilities.”

So Seoul was ruined.

As the heroes left Seoul, those in Seoul naturally moved to be near the heroes.

“In the midst of this, a person with the ability to move through space appeared. A person with the ability to appear anywhere? A person capable of immediately responding to a crisis? Ugh. What can I do with words?”

“We tried to deal with this by sending people to each region, but if we have someone capable of moving through space, there is no need to send people to the regions.”

“Heroes will clap their hands in approval. Since Seoul is my hometown, people thought I should go to Seoul and become a hero, but I guess I don’t even need to go to Seoul anymore! ”

“That means leaving everything to Ymir.”

“That’s what I’m saying. Because it’s S+.”

It’s not just humans who are selfish.

correction.

There is a perspective that even people with special abilities are human, so all humans are selfish.

“So, I am helping student Ymir. No matter what hardships she faces in the future, I want to protect student Ymir from those who would take advantage of her. That’s why I called Seolhee here.”

“…….”

“I know that making this request to Seolhee is the same as the request made by her superiors who are disillusioned with Seolhee. It’s disgusting that you ask me this after making it impossible for me to refuse.”

And I, too, am selfish.

“Still, Seolhee. Could you help me? So that student Ymir can live as human Ymir at least for some time, rather than living as a platinum sun for 24 hours.”

“…It’s shameful. With that said, how could I refuse? I also want to be the human Baek Sul-hee next to Ji-hwan.”

Baek Seol-hee extended her hand to Ymir with a warm smile.

“Please take care of me, Ymir.”

“…Please take care of me too, Seolhee…Sister? Um, can I call you my sister?”

“Yes. As much as you want.”

Ymir held hands with Baek Seol-hee.

“…Please take care of me in the future. Both of them. If you have any concerns, I will listen, so please let me know at any time.”

I am more confident than anyone else when it comes to women’s mental care.

I, Do Ji-hwan.

For all the help in the world, I will help these two women not to run away or go crazy.

Even if it means sacrificing this body.

For the world.

For a safe and peaceful world where society will rule.
