Open your eyes.

“Are you awake?”

As soon as I wake up, the snow princess welcomes me.

“Sleep a little more.”

“…Are you doing that on purpose?”

“Yes.”

Baek Seol-hee caresses my face while wearing a suit.

I’m not tired, but I don’t hate it when Baek Seol-hee pats me as if I were a child.

“I want to keep sleeping like this.”

“No. Today is that day.”

“So, I want to sleep more.”

Today is an important day.

Since we have been preparing for today, if today goes wrong, there is a high possibility that everything will go wrong.

In the meantime, a lot has happened.

After Baek Seol-hee’s Imming Out, I, as Do Ji-hwan, have never gone outside.

Academy classes?

To begin with, I was not a professor, so the students took the classes on their own.

Then what about Baek Seol-hee?

Everything was solved through remote classes.

-Ah, professor. Does the screen seem to be shaking for some reason?

-It’s my mood.

-You’re not really saying that, are you…?

-It can’t be. look. Am I doing something strange right now?

said Baek Seol-hee, his alter ego.

Baek Harang, dressed in a suit, was in front of me in front of the laptop for remote lectures, and I actually spent time with Baek Seol-hee in the bathroom during the lecture.

And at night, he put Baek Seol-hee to sleep and acted as a goblin.

Fortunately, none of the S-class women dared to attack Baek Seol-hee’s room, and those who hoped to spend time with me were also sorted out along Baek Seol-hee’s line.

-It would be difficult for people from other countries to act like this. Please come back.

Or, the crisis was averted with Yoon I-seon’s active help.

Nadeshiko, who came to Jeju Island, was looking for an opportunity, but like Hayabusa, most people were only interested in the phoenix’s feathers and had no interest in spending time with me.

“Seolhee. What are you going to do after the summer semester in Jeju Island?”

“Um…. Well. Should we keep it a secret from the government and go somewhere to have fun? With Ymir, you and me, the three of us.”

Although it is truly absurd that an S-class psychic would hide his whereabouts and move around, Baek Seol-hee’s subversive behavior has already reached a point where neither the government nor the association dares say anything to Baek Seol-hee.

“Is there a place you can recommend?”

“Um…. Japan?”

“What? Are you really doing this because of Nadeshiko?”

“Because there are more than one S-level talented person for whom I take mental care.”

“Pugh.”

Baek Seol-hee puffed out her cheeks and made a noise on purpose as she lightly jabbed at me.

“You’re just saying that you’re going to recruit one woman from each country and go meet the local government?”

“Have you already done half of that?”

“What is it?”

“Do you know how easy it is to lead a double life, going back and forth between hotels and pensions every day and night? I have to take care of the heroes during the day, but at night…ugh.”

Even if there are two bodies, there won’t be any left.

Although he sleeps for about 7 hours a day, he spends the rest of his time providing mental care to people with special abilities or providing advice to improve their abilities.

“Last night, someone was bothering you until midnight, so you fell asleep after 12 o’clock.”

“Did I bother you? While he was bullying me.”

“After you started to harass me.”

“Ugh, it’s noisy.”

Baek Seol-hee grabbed my head and buried it in her chest to silence me.

“…Even if my identity is revealed, I don’t care, so if you feel like you have to do it, you have to do it. Because I’m fine. Got it?”

“…….”

Baek Seol-hee has already made up her mind.

In the worst case scenario – when it is revealed that Do Ji-hwan is a goblin – I have the intention of enduring the repercussions.

“Everything will be fine, so don’t worry too much. Because it’s not just me here, there’s Mir and my ‘friends’ too.”

“…Those friends, I’m a bit like that. Especially Yoon Hye-ra, she especially.”

Baek Seol-hee gritted her teeth as she turned her eyes toward the next room.

Although it wasn’t specifically in this room, Yoon Hye-ra found a room where she could enter the hotel within a minute if she opened the door.

“He, how could he do something like that? I really don’t understand.”

“I don’t think it’s much different from what you did…”

“You could say that I did it because I was mad that the government issued a pregnancy warrant, but she really came because she wanted to spend the night with you. …leaving aside its actual identity!”

ah.

“Leaving aside the circumstances, how can you say in front of the whole world, ‘I came because I wanted to be with this man’!”

Eventually, the ice mask came off.

“Ugh, don’t allow it. Because of her, every time Nadeshiko sees me, she clings to me and says, ‘Please let me do it too.’ What on earth did you do to Nadeshiko?”

“It just saved my life.”

“Ahh, I’m going crazy. It’s the worst. We met under the conditions that make it easiest to fall in love. Well, it’s okay.”

Baek Seol-hee scratched her head for a moment, then sighed and unleashed her magic.

“…I feel like I want to stay here myself, but I’ll leave my alter ego behind. If someone forces you to open the door and come in, use your alter ego and try to resolve it through conversation. Got it?”

“Okay.”

Hwiiing.

The magic power generated by Baek Seol-hee soon became another form of Baek Seol-hee.

Ice alter ego, Baek Harang.

Her hair color is darker than that of Baek Seol-hee, and her body contains less mana than Baek Seol-hee.

However, since she will literally play the role of ‘face madam’, most people will not think that her alter ego is her real body.

Even if you know that the main body is outside, you can’t help but be embarrassed if an alter ego greets you in the room.

Just like a sparrow that has come to secretly steal grain seeds is surprised to see a scarecrow.

“Then, I’ll go first. …If everything goes well, the three of us will go on a trip. Absolutely.”

“You’re talking like you’re planting a flag.”

I hugged Baek Seol-hee tightly while lying on the bed.

“Oh, indeed. Just do that one thing and let’s go.”

“Huh? Oh, wait a minute, the neck is…!”

If you don’t want to hide it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to show it proudly in front of people.

I lightly buried my face in the back of Baek Seol-hee’s neck.

* * *

– Baek Seol-hee, what happened to the bandage on your neck? if…?

-It’s because I scratched myself while taking a shower.

Baek Seol-hee passed the reporters and headed to the training hall where the academy students were waiting.

‘You’ve been having a hard time since morning.’

Due to Phoenix’s feather auction, Korea’s S-class members, including Baek Seol-hee, had to gather together for one last important briefing to the academy’s A-class students.

There are about 20 people with S-level abilities who are officially participating.

And about 1,000 people who can be called celebrities and their associates, including government figures from each country and people in the political and business world.

Considering that each person has the title of prime minister, S-level talented person, and company president or chairman, it is necessary to lend a hand to cats to maintain public order and security.

-Some people are expressing concerns about mobilizing students for security this time. What do you think?

-Excluding Gwangikgong, more than 40% of the talented people in Korea are currently gathered in Jeju Island. What is the cause for concern? Are you saying that at least an optical engineer should come forward?

-Oh, no, that’s….

Perhaps because the pure-white princess disappeared and turned red, she responded to reporters with a bold, or to put it another way, quite spicy answer.

-This is Reporter Oh Guk-pyeong of Hero Ilbo! Baek Seol-hee, is it safe to say that the students’ security participation this time is actually a dry run as hero agents?

-What better experience to gain practical experience than this? Although their status is students, they are all worthy heroes of this country. What is important is the desire to protect it.

Of course, that harshness was only directed at the sunshade.

Although I gave her some hints about the sunshade, she now had to lose about an hour of ‘me time’ because of the sunshade.

“Anyway, I said I was being nice.”

“It’s kind of awkward when your alter ego says that, isn’t it?”

“I’m speaking objectively. Isn’t that right, Mir?”

“That’s right. If Seolhee goes to Jeju Airport and another S or A class picks her up, it will be a lot of trouble.”

Baek Seol-hee is not in the room, but Baek Harang and Ymir remain in this room.

“…Now that I think about it, it’s Mir. Aren’t you waiting for the dorm with your roommate?”

Ymir, who was only a D-level student, came along as a scholarship student and field support staff part-time, but since her level was high, she was ordered to wait in the dormitory. As if it was natural, she opened the space and entered this room as soon as Baek Seol-hee left.

“Oh, it’s okay. Anyway, we only have to go to Seogwipo, so my roommate already went to Jeju City yesterday. I’m probably on my way back from Hong Kong because I met a guy from overseas.”

“…….”

I don’t think it will be a big problem if Ymir isn’t in the dorm.

Of course, the fact that Ymir came to this room like this means that he doesn’t care if his identity is discovered.

“All attention is definitely focused on Seogwipo, because the northern part of Jeju has comparatively lax security except right now.”

today.

As if he were the main character, someone showed up on a plane from Busan on the morning of the auction.

The white-haired old man in a black suit who brought portable stairs to Jeju Airport, just as heads of state from other countries get off an airplane, waved at the camera as if he were a king.

“Chairman Haeguneul, Choi Ho-jeong. It’s finally here.”

In order to deal with that man, and to block him and other middle-aged men in the sun from making dirty tricks, Baek Seol-hee headed to Jeju Airport.

“The woman next to you…”

“A class A talented person who is married to Choi Ho-jeong. …I guess you got married.”

Mind reader.

“Yang Darin.”

surprisingly.

“Mir. What do you think when you see that woman?”

“Hmm…is it really unusual to be a married woman at a young age?”

“I see.”

It’s a heroine.

Attributes of a married woman with a child.

‘You writer, you’re crazy.’

The ‘reward’ that the original protagonist received after defeating Chairman Sunshade was that married woman with short gray-white hair.
