Farewell – farewell, farewell, goodbye, goodbye.

Beep…Beep…Beep…

The sound of a machine beeping loudly.

Rumbling…

The sound of them running towards me.

Uddangtang—!

The sound of a door being opened quickly.

“Commander…Commander…!“

“Seojin!!“

“Seojin!!!“

They all ran toward the hospital room where I was lying,

“Ahaha…are you here…?“

I smiled kindly at them.

“Commander!!!“

Whoosh—!

Lapis rushed towards me and hugged me very strongly.

She buried her face in my shoulder, shedding tears,

I stroked the girl’s head and winked at the kids standing behind her.

“Ugh…Ugh…Commander…I’m so glad…I’m so…so glad…“

“Ah…ow…la…Lapis…if you hug me that hard…it hurts…“

“S-sorry…! Well… that still doesn’t work…! I won’t let you go…never again…never…!“

She cried tears of joy, relieved that I was alive.

I pulled out a tissue and carefully wiped her tears.

“Hey…are you okay…? It’s really okay, right…? Your body…“

“Yes! I’m really fine. I’m fine.“

Surtur raised his head as if the tip of his nose was wrinkled and held back tears.

Xiao also came to my side, knelt down and held my hand.

“A little bit…Maybe I should have blown the trumpet a little earlier…If I had…I would have been there…“

“Ahaha… Well, the real injury was after I went into hell, but… Sha… Xiao…? Why are you crying… It hurts my heart.“

“Ugh…Ugh…I thought I was losing you…Do you know how much it hurt…? There was no communication…and when I heard that I had entered the barrier…I…“

She took my hand and brought it to her warm cheek.

She must have continued the fight until just now, and her face was covered in blood just like me.

We just smiled and looked at each other, smelling of a lot of sweat and blood.

Like seeing a longed-for comrade who returned alive from the battlefield.

They were hugging me like that and stroking my head.

“Now… let’s go…! Everyone is waiting…! Do you know how worried everyone was…?“

“Ahaha…please just look at me once…forgive me…I had a hard time blocking the meteorite…“

“I’m not scolding you…! Quick…I told you to go quickly…“

Lapis puffed out her cheeks and poked my cheek.

“I knew you could do it. And I thought you would come back like this. Look. My intuition was right this time too, right?“

“Haha…I see. It makes me wonder if you’re the goddess of luck… or something like that.“

Trash…Trudge…

I got out of bed and walked slowly.

Now there was no more pain, and my whole body was filled with vitality.

The world that had prevented destruction had a very warm and peaceful atmosphere,

This feeling felt a little awkward, as if it was the first day back in time 5 years ago.

“Phew… shall we go then? I miss you all so much.“

“Yes, everyone will want to see it. If you see how much Lauren is shaking…you’ll laugh so hard too.“

“Everyone is waiting for you. Now, let’s go and let them know that we…no, you won…“

“Good…huu…take a deep breath…and be careful not to cry…“

“Push… Commander… You’re already crying so hard that your throat is locked.“

“I can’t…pretend I didn’t hear…I’m embarrassed…“

“Puhup..Puhaha…!“

I smile brightly with them without any worries or concerns.

I walked slowly towards the outside of the hospital.

To the children I missed so much and had so many things to say.

To say ‘I’ve been there’.

—–

“Wow~ So bad♥ A lot of weaklings are gathered~♥“

Several bandages were plastered on the president’s face, and the video was being broadcast live across the country through cameras.

Her hammer was covered in bright red blood, but

He was speaking to the public while maintaining his usual criticizing tone.

“Hmm…Dear citizens.“

Next to her, Han Seo-jin held the microphone and began to interpret her words.

He also gave off a sinister aura, with his black suit stained bright red.

Every time he uttered a word, the gathered awakened people and citizens cheered at him.

The hero who played the most active role in this incident and the mysterious figure who made headlines in all kinds of newspapers and news.

But at the same time, the legendary level 6 that blocked the meteorite…

No, it was revealed that he was a level 7 awakened person, and his position gained ridiculous honor.

“It’s funny to turn around and run away~♥ I’m getting older and pathetic~♥“

“During this large-scale gate invasion and meteorite collision, countless citizens and awakened people joined forces.“

“Weak♥ Poor♥ Incompetent Incompetent♥ It’s a waste of air to breathe♥“

“We face an unprecedented and extremely dangerous crisis. However, thanks to the awakening of countries around the world and the active help and cooperation of citizens, we were able to overcome this crisis and win.“

“Don’t you feel ashamed of losing to a child so young? Sigh…♥“

“I also took responsibility as president and worked together with all those loyal to the country to resolve this invasion situation.“

Sigh…

The President looked at Han Seo-jin with a smile on his lips.

Without saying a word, with eyes full of trust.

Even though the two didn’t talk, their feelings were in sync with each other.

He smiled and gave a thumbs up.

“I too… did my best to save my loved ones. Even if I were to turn back time and go back to the past, I would once again take up arms to protect this world. No matter what happens.“

“Wow~♥ It’s so spicy♥ It’s so bad♥ Did you prepare these lines in advance?“

“… Huh… It is very meaningful that this incident gave us the opportunity to fight with all people from all over the world with one mind and one will. If something big happens in the future, we will all join forces and fight against it again.“

” Idiots♥ Idiots♥ Useless weaklings just watch♥ I will deal with the idiots♥“

“So, once again, I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who believed in me and followed me. I firmly pledge to continue to be loyal to the Republic of Korea.“

Clap clap clap clap—-!!!!

Those who were gathered, even those who were watching the live broadcast on TV or mobile phones.

Many people began to cheer and applaud in unison.

“Han Seo-jin! Seojin Han! Seojin Han! Seojin Han!”

“Long live Mr. President~~! Long live His Excellency Mesugaki~~~!”

“Ah♥ The idiot is running away♥ I have to follow♥”

Shouting the president’s name and Han Seo-jin’s name loudly.

The two began to be revered as new heroes of this era.

Click—click click—-!!!!

The reporters took pictures with flashes all at once.

He then brought the microphone to Han Seo-jin, who was running away, and began to continue his barrage of questions.

“Han Seo-jin!!! It is widely known that he is the most active Awakened person in this incident! Please say something!!“

“Hmm…Hmm…“

He held the microphone awkwardly and looked to the side.

There, Lapis and the other children smiled and waved.

Seojin Han nodded and continued speaking.

“All…thanks to the people who were with me. Although I am truly miserable and insignificant, I believe that I was able to achieve this miracle because there were people who stayed with me until the end. “

Click click—-!!!

Citizens cheered him with tears in their eyes,

Afterwards, the reporters continued to ask questions.

“Han Seo-jin!!! So what are your next steps? You are the first level 7 in the world… and each political party is currently selecting Han Seo-jin as the next presidential candidate…“

“I don’t do politics. Please ask the next question.“

When he spoke firmly, the citizens sighed.

Perhaps everyone hoped that Han Seo-jin, who became a level 7 apostle, would lead the country, and perhaps even the world.

“So…what do you plan to do in the future? I heard you are still a first year student at the Academy…!“

“Ah…about that…um…“

He tilted his head and scratched his chin.

This was because in Han Seo-jin’s mind, he had never made any plans for when he returned alive.

A future where you either die or, if you’re lucky, become a vegetative state.

Since most people had predicted such a gloomy future, he didn’t even know what he wanted to do.

“Umm…um…“

But he smiled brightly as he looked at the beautiful children standing next to him.

“First of all, I want to go back to the academy! Of course, I often serve as the President’s interpreter… and also serve as an outside director at Twilight Hunter Corporation and pharmaceutical and engineering companies. We’ll be busy recovering from war damage for a while…“

“Right now…I want to spend quality time with my precious people. That’s all I hope for. Really… I realized again and again, even before I died, that that time was really important to me.“

Click click—!

“Well…Then finally…! Wouldn’t you like to say a word to the citizens…!“

“Um…“

He nodded and spoke slowly.

“No matter how hard life is…don’t ever give up. Although our lives may not always be filled with warm sunlight…if we move forward with hope…good days will come someday.“

“If you believe in yourself…no matter how painful…sad…if you are with the people you love, even things that seem impossible become possible. Of course, there were many days when I was alone, but someday… good relationships will inevitably come together. So don’t lose hope…let’s all live hard.“

He tapped his palm as if remembering something.

“Finally…! I wish we could love each other…as much as I…love this world.“

Clap clap clap clap—!!!

Many people, including everyone, applauded and praised him.

He was so embarrassed that he quickly got off the stage and ran towards the children.

“Thank you for your hard work. Commander. You speak very well. Just like the old days.“

“… Ugh… This is why reporters are difficult to deal with… “

“Young Master, you were so cool…!“

Yuri Lee looked at him with her cheeks turning red,

He also smiled and nodded.

“Really? Was it really cool?“

“Yes…! Really, really!“

“Kuhm…well…I didn’t mean to disturb you…“

Surt nervously put a cigarette in his mouth and looked at him.

In fact, not only her but also the numerous children gathered there,

Starting with Beatrice, all the women participating in this battle looked at him at once.

“You…you know…that…wish…is granted.“

“Ah…ah…! That…that’s right. Yes…that’s right…!“

He spread his arms and smiled broadly.

“Tell me anything! I’ll listen to everything! Oh, of course, Lapis, don’t forget to wear a maid uniform.“

“I got it…! Don’t fuss…I’ll go home soon…“

“Hmm…Seojin. Anything…is possible…?“

Beatrice slowly approached him and began to put her arms around him.

Drenched in sweat, her black bra was visible beneath her white dress shirt.

Then Xiao hugged his side and whispered in his ear.

“Seojin…as much as you worried me…you better be prepared…the night you spend with me…is going to be quite long. I will never let you go… hehe… “

“Uh…kids…wait…wait…!“

They all made strange expressions and started wrapping their arms around his body.

Of course, there may be differences in how much skinship each person will engage in, but

All of them had in common the desire to confess their honest feelings toward him that they had been suppressing until now.

I used his wish as an excuse to grant me anything.

“Now…wait a minute…! In order…let’s do it in order. Because I can’t do everything at the same time…huh…?“

“That makes sense, yes…“

Xiao walked away from him a little, as if feeling regretful.

“Commander…Then…who will you go on a first date with?“

“Ah…I decided that in advance!“

Thump—!

Han Seo-jin quickly walked towards Yu-ri Lee and stood tall in front of her.

“J…Me…?!“

He smiled brightly while holding Yuri’s wrist.

“Yes, you promised back then. To watch a movie with Yuri.“

“Ah…you…remembered…! I’m happy…yes…! I want to watch a movie with you…!“

Han Seo-jin hugged her tightly and closed his eyes.

Then Yuri took a breath with a gasping sound and closed her eyes.

She slowly stretched out her trembling hand and stroked his back,

Han Seo-jin spoke, whispering affectionately in her ear.

“Yuri…I…I’ve been there…“

“Yes…! I too…was waiting for you to come back…!“

He smiled and got away from her,

When everyone nodded in agreement, they took a step toward the street with her.

“Come on, let’s go! I watch movies because I want to… so I guess this isn’t a wish! Yuri, please decide your wish separately!“

“ㄴ…Yes…? Is…is that okay…?“

“Yes! This…is what I wanted to do…! Let’s go quickly!”

So the boy and girl walked through the crowd towards their own street.

Although they were both covered in blood and sweat, they were a mess.

Looking at each other lovingly, as if we were in our own world,

The gait of walking at the same speed.

Just like two lovers in love.

With such a sweet and beautiful appearance, the whole world was shown with love.

Just like this, this happiness.

I hope it lasts forever.

No matter what the cost.

I will finally enjoy the beautiful love that I hold on to.

Han Seo-jin smiled brightly,

He walked with his beloved lover.

The anger towards the world that tormented him was forgotten.

The monsters at the gate and the demons wearing human masks were buried in the ground.

And no one worries about such things.

A beautiful world full of love and happiness.

The two lovers began wandering the streets of Seoul at night.
