dinner.

“Teacher, I’m here. What would you like for dinner? Gukbap? Platinum sun? Ymir? Or all three?”

“Tteokbokki.”

“to. If I tried it today, it would probably be cream tteokbokki…? You should add that too, yay!”

“Don’t say anything strange, just eat what you are given. I’ll make it for you today.”

“Oh, really? What side should I make?”

“No.”

While preparing and eating dinner with Ymir, who came into my room as soon as I got off work, I talked about what happened during the day and the sports day.

“Student Lee Seon said he wished a goblin would appear.”

“Why the teacher? Aren’t you too out of your league to be dealing with a 17-year-old high school girl?”

Rather than being at the ” level, student Lee Seon talked about the beliefs of goblins. It’s not like they’re coming to defeat the devil, so isn’t it meaningless for goblins to come out?”

“That’s it again. So what did you say?”

“He said it wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask the goblin. If only I had the means to ask around. Ah, yes.”

While I was talking to Isun Yoon about asking the goblin at least once, a thought occurred to me.

“Ymir. It seems like Yoon Yi-sun has figured out my identity.”

“Oh my, is that so? Teacher, there is no reason for Lee Seon to notice, so why do you think that?”

“Because of you.”

“Yes?”

I think that perhaps Yoon Iseon knows that I am a goblin, and that it was probably because of Ymir that his identity was revealed.

“It was because of me that the teacher was discovered to be a goblin? I don’t think Lee Seon would be as perceptive as me…”

“It’s not a matter of perception, it’s because of you.”

It has to be that way.

Other than that, there is no other reason why he approached me while thinking about goblins after training.

“No, why did the teacher get caught because of me?”

“Well, you don’t have any friends.”

“…….”

Ymir’s expression hardened.

“Ji, what did you say just now?”

“My practice is a failure, I’m not dating anyone, and the only person I’m meeting is someone I can’t have any contact with? If you think about it even a little, you can’t help but doubt it.”

“So, the problem is because my friendships are too narrow?”

“Yes.”

I have been worried for a long time.

The closer you get to Ymir, the more contact you have with Ymir, and those who doubt Ymir will naturally doubt me.

1. Ymir is the platinum sun.

2. Ymir has a fairly deep relationship with Do Ji-hwan.

3. Platinum Sun has a fairly deep relationship with goblins.

4. So what?

“It is very easy to deduce that Do Ji-hwan is a goblin. As long as you put a person named Ymir in the middle.”

“Hmph. It’s no use trying to pressure me like that.”

Almost as soon as I fired back, Ymir snorted and shrugged his shoulders.

“You may say that your identity will be revealed because of me, but isn’t that something you were prepared to do to some extent?”

“Resolution?”

“I plan to reveal my identity as a goblin to some extent to Lee Seon. No, wasn’t Seolhee and you also trying to gradually spread information about the teacher to one or two people? Either through me or through Seolhee.”

“……I didn’t know you would notice.”

No matter how clever he was, I didn’t expect him to follow this plan.

“That’s right. From the moment I helped student Lee Seon deal with Duoksini, I planned to reveal some of my identity to student Lee Seon.”

“Do you trust Lee Seon?”

“I believe it.”

She is also the original heroine, and even though she knew the main character’s secret, she kept her mouth shut, and I personally confirmed her actions.

Yoon I-seon did not say a single word about the Duoksini situation.

He didn’t tell anyone around him that he fought alongside the goblin and that Ymir was the Platinum Sun.

If I were a soft-spoken woman, I would have thought about sending Yoon Iseon somewhere else by now.

Not to kill them, but just so they can rest for about a year in a place far away from Sejong Island.

“What, then why are you talking like you’re blaming me?”

“Just.”

“Are you trying to make fun of me because I don’t have a friend?”

“I’m not that evil of a person.”

I just said one thing.

“Just kidding. Anyway, maybe tomorrow, give Lee Seon a sneak peek. Don’t you think that you have to talk to Lee Seon first before she can call the goblin?”

“In the way Lee Seon asks the goblin for a favor through me? Then you should ask the teacher right away. Why do you have to go through me again?”

“The clear route is yours. I’m just suspicious, because I don’t know if it’s really a goblin.”

“Well, what I’m saying is that there’s a possibility that they might just think of him as a collaborator of the organization or someone who can connect with the goblin. all right. That’s as much as I can bridge the middle…”

“Is there one?”

“Are you really going to leave?”

Ymir uploaded a video.

[Come out, goblin! Let’s compete to see who the true rider is on Sejong Island!]

“Will you really accept the challenge thrown by Hayabusa?”

It was a declaration of war posted directly on the Internet by the S-class hero, Hayabusa.

[I’m not talking about fighting between heroes and villains! It’s just a matter of deciding who is the real rider and who is right and wrong! If I win, I will do my best to help you so you don’t get caught by others!]

“It’s not a joke, but I don’t think there’s any reason for you to declare war on this guy.”

“There is a reason to come forward.”

“Why?”

“Now, the world is looking at this issue as a ‘Korea-Japan War’.”

I thought to myself, but on the Internet, netizens were already arguing about which country the rider was from.

“First of all, strictly speaking, Rider is Japanese. The original is Rider No. 1.”

“Oh my, you admit it?”

“Of course. You have to admit what you have to admit. It was a Korean special film that brought this motif of Rider’s transformation, but if you ask where the Korean special film was influenced, of course it was Super Ranger or Rider. Instead.”

I took out the mask and placed it over my face.

“Even if this started in Japan, wouldn’t it be a different story if it became a completely new type of rider?”

There are no riders after the cataclysm.

The motif of the rider I transformed is not the rider before the cataclysm, but the riders when the cataclysm did not occur.

“Will you show me your originality?”

“Rather than it being my own originality, I am saying that the issue of who is ‘real’ talking over there is not that important. This also applies to this ability.”

First of all, it is represented by the name ‘Rider’, but this problem can also be compared to the special abilities used in this world.

“Even if someone’s special ability is the original, what if you take it as your own? What if it is a new form that has changed from the original?”

“Are you trying to talk about plagiarism?”

“Not even plagiarism. no. To make it easier to talk about it, it would be better to call it plagiarism.”

Among the many videos circulating on the Internet, I pointed to a newly uploaded video by talented people from other countries.

“After the advent of Doji Rider, the number of people making new rider-style costumes has increased significantly. Look at this. In foreign countries, they made flaming skulls like riders.”

“…Skeleton Rider?”

“The gimmick is taken from old content. This started out as an American comic, but what country is the Skeleton Rider with his body on fire and wearing a helmet shaped like a skull?”

“It’s France?”

“Okay. Culture tends to spread. And there are no special borders in culture. The same goes for this ability. If someone starts using this ability with the rider concept, someone else is bound to follow the rider concept.”

This is not about aid.

Since this concept was taken from pre-cataclysmic culture anyway, I have no intention of questioning who is the original or the real one.

but.

want to show.

To the people of this world, to the people of this era whose culture has been completely turned upside down by cataclysms and the emergence of extraordinary abilities.

I want to personally show them the culture they would have enjoyed if they had not had this ability.

‘It’s my reward for helping me appreciate the stories in this world.’

Since you made me read this year-old novel, I want to repay you by showing the people of this world a side of a culture that was not born in this world.

So that they can see my transformation and enjoy a slightly different culture.

In that sense, I will show Hayabusa.

“Even though it is cultural content that originated in Japan, how to sublimate and use it into special abilities is a different story. Are you discussing real and fake over that? It’s meaningless. Doji Rider is not just a rip-off of an existing rider.”

“……In other words, the result is like that.”

Ymir pointed at me with a sour face.

“Is this to prove that Doji Rider’s appearance is not plagiarism?”

“Well, you can think of it that way.”

At least in this world, the appearance of the goblin rider I transformed into is not plagiarism.

Because the passing goblin rider was not even born in this world.

“And we need to appeal to them that ‘the goblin is on Sejong Island.’”

“They…? Pandemonium?”

“Okay. By appealing to the public that I am here, someone in Pandemonium will appear on Sejong Island. That’s the guy I’m aiming for.”

I don’t know who it will be.

“I have to show it to Pandemonium. The goblin is alive and well.”

In fact, I have become more lively.

“It’s also a golden opportunity to show off my new form.”
