Chapter Index

    “People are enthusiastic about him, and in fact, he is one of the most successful heroes in our country. They are pushing him to become a so-called national hero.”

    “Because Ignis is cool! Idol of the hero world! And is it because you came back resting? I think you’re more handsome than before… !”

    Park Seo-in, who looked excited at first glance, helped Yoon Se-mi speak.

    I nodded roughly. Park Seo-in had previously been a fan of Ignis, so now that she was receiving the effect of the necklace, she was showing an attitude that was almost adoring.

    ‘It’s a bit meaty, but… ‘

    Should I say that it feels like I am reading aloud a cringe-worthy article posted on the Internet?

    Still, it wasn’t a bad feeling because it was my first time seeing someone show such sincere fanaticism. When I think about it, I have now become a person who can be said to be famous in real life, but I have never met anyone offline who is said to be my fan. At most, an American soldier recognized me at a U.S. military base?

    ‘Maybe the reason is that I never really go out unless I’m filming. If you have time, should we go out to Hongdae?’

    “Oh, but what? There were no reports of villain crimes today. To be exact, it’s not that there is nothing, but it’s all a mistaken report… ”

    Park Seo-in came to his senses and said that. I also came out of my distraction and asked.

    “Report a misidentification?”

    “Yes. Since there have been a lot of villain crimes for a while, there are many cases where ordinary crimes that do not involve supernatural powers are reported as crimes committed by villains. Most of the reports that have come in over the past few days have been reports of misunderstanding.”

    “Now that I think about it, it’s interesting. The villains also become quiet just as Ignis rests.”

    Yoon Se-mi placed her index finger on her cheek and tilted her head.

    “It’s like I’m not interested in any other hero unless it’s Ignis… ”

    “It must be a coincidence. And if I had been the target, wouldn’t the villain terrorism have been concentrated only in our office?”

    “That’s right.”

    “But wouldn’t it still have some impact? One of the most famous heroes in Korea right now is Ignis.”

    Yoon Se-mi and Park Seo-in were trying to discuss ‘Ignis’ popularity among villains’, so I clapped my hands to brighten the mood.

    “It doesn’t matter that there were no villain reports. Rather, I want to get information today.”

    “Information?”

    I nodded to Yoon Se-mi, who tilted her head.

    “Yes, about the large-scale villain terrorist incident in Japan that occurred yesterday.”

    “Ah… !”

    Perhaps because it was such a big event, they seemed to understand what I meant.

    “I came here to see if there was any information the government shared with the Red Wyvern office regarding this.”

    “Now that I think about it, there was an official document from the government.”

    “Really?”

    I was bored leaving it to Maria and waiting at home, so I went to the office, but surprisingly, it seemed like there was really something there.

    “Yes. wait a minute. Heejin! Please print out the email you received from the government!”

    Se-mi Yoon gave instructions to a female employee who was a little distance away.

    It wasn’t the first time my office had asked for information about villains or crimes. Since I am also registering at the Red Wyvern Hero Office under the name Ignis, I need to have information shared in order to be active.

    The Lee sisters secretly leaked a list of villains that the government was paying attention to, but it was difficult for them to continue working as heroes that way. If the tail is long, you might get stepped on.

    It might not have been that much of a problem for the Lee sisters, but it still wasn’t good for them to be found out.

    In that respect, I felt very comfortable at the Hero Office, which operates like a local sports team. Because the jurisdiction was determined, unless it was a special case, the hero had considerable authority over villain crimes.

    Thanks to this, I was able to easily receive government official documents from Yoon Se-mi. To be precise, an ordinary female employee who appears to be in charge of office work printed out the data following Yoon Se-mi’s instructions.

    “… Here it is.”

    “Thank you.”

    Seueueuu

    “Ugh… !”

    As the hands brushed while receiving the documents, a weak moan escaped the mouth of the female employee called Heejin. At the same time, she was a very shy girl who was shaking her neck.

    However, seeing the woman’s blushing cheeks made me increasingly afraid of the effect of the charm necklace.

    ‘Hey, it’s not even bare hands, I just grazed the top of a glove. Is this true?’

    At this level, I thought it was almost like a living hypnosis app or a walking stimulant. At least the Lee sisters and Yoon Se-mi and Park Seo-in in front of me showed relatively less such reactions, so it seemed like the psychic powers of the psychics were a little stronger.

    As I was looking at the female employee while laughing inwardly, Yoon Se-mi seemed to misunderstand my gaze as something else. She opened her mouth with a very refreshing smile.

    “Not long ago, there were only three of us in the office, so it feels a little awkward, right? The government gave us a building and even provided manpower for management and work assistance. Basically, the employees have completed training on office work, so they can start working right away. Thanks to this, my workload has drastically reduced, so I don’t have to work overtime anymore!”

    Although this only happened a few days ago, Se-mi Yoon’s job satisfaction seemed to have increased several times.

    The dark circles that were quite noticeable last time also disappeared, and the overall person looked more lively.

    I responded by smiling at her. And I slowly read the materials handed over to me.

    ‘hmm… ‘

    The contents of the official document contained something unexpected.

    ‘Korean villains may have passed over… ‘

    The content was that Korean villains may have been involved in the large-scale terrorist attack committed by villains in Japan.

    What was particularly impressive was the basis for this: the fact that villain activities in Korea have recently decreased significantly.

    As Yoon Se-mi said, during the period I took a break, the frequency with which villains committed major crimes decreased significantly.

    It was a strange thing. If Ignis is scary, isn’t it normal for the crime rate to go up while I’m taking a break?

    Strangely, the information was telling the exact opposite result.

    ‘In comparison, Japan’s crime rate has increased significantly.’

    In Japan, the neighboring country, major incidents were occurring almost every other day. The villain crime rate, which was already high, exploded.

    That’s where the story that the Korean villain moved to Japan originated.

    However, I don’t know how big the possibility is.

    ‘A villain organization on a scale capable of committing such a crime crossed over from Korea. Could it have moved without being detected by the government?’

    The Namhira world had a level of civilization similar to reality, so security was quite thorough when it came to immigration.

    However, since there are so many extraordinary powers among them, the possibility was not entirely out of the question. The government probably took that into consideration as well and came to this conclusion.

    Anyway, for that reason, the official document said that the Korean hero might have to go to Japan to apply. It seemed like the intention was to make it difficult to get angry by first extending a helping hand before Japan found out about the Korean villain’s involvement and protested.

    This goes without saying, but the number of heroes who went to Japan to apply was limited to those who volunteered.

    This may not be the case if you are a completely government-affiliated hero, but if you are a hero like me and just put your name on the hero office, there is no way for the country to enforce it.

    “… But is it okay for general employees to see this content?”

    I glanced at the employee who printed out the document and asked. No matter how many times I looked at it, it seemed like there was nothing good about it even if more people knew about it.

    “It’s okay. Although I am an office worker, I am basically a civil servant. If you go somewhere and open your mouth incorrectly, you will be in big trouble.”

    “But what about other hero offices? Isn’t there an official letter sent there too?”

    “Well, I don’t know that far. But the government is not stupid either. They probably sent it only to those with a heavy mouth or important offices.”

    “Hmm… ”

    ‘Well, it’s nothing for me to worry about.’

    Rather, I was interested in something else. If it is true that a Korean villain organization crossed over to Japan as the government guessed, what was their purpose?

    It couldn’t have been simply because it was a better place to live. Because criminals are very thorough in calculating their profits and losses.

    If so, it clearly meant that Japan had something they could covet.

    ‘japan… Shall we go?’

    I didn’t think it would be a bad idea to visit once for a trip.
