I thought he would pull it off at least a few times in order to more clearly take the lead in the conversation that would follow, but perhaps I didn’t expect him to admit the truth so readily.

A moment of surprise flashed across Amelia’s face.

Of course, it was only for a moment, and I adjusted my expression in an instant.

“···I guess it was true that you wanted to talk openly.”

“I told you so. I came here to make a proposal that would benefit you as well.”

It is a proposal that would be beneficial not only to us, but also to the United States.

It’s easy to say, but it won’t be easy to actually implement it.

What on earth does Rahee think of as a mutually beneficial proposal?

“Anyway… I think we’re finally in the mood for conversation. Shall we sit down again? ”

While I was thinking about that, Rahee, who had succeeded in taking control of the conversation without difficulty, got up from her seat and sat back down as if she had never done so before.

Juyeon, who had followed Rahee out of his seat, also put his butt back on the sofa at the same time.

Seeing as they fit together so well, it seems like there must have been some level of rapport in advance.

‘Just looking at this, I can tell you two are close friends.’

The term “bad guy” probably refers to the relationship between Rahee and Juyeon.

“First of all, since we decided to be honest with each other, I would like to ask you.”

“···Tell me.”

“Well, assuming it was true that there was something really up with Yoon Soo-hyun, what did the US plan to do with that?”

This was none other than Juyeon’s question.

Considering that he asked about that first, leaving everything else aside, he seems to have decided that he would need to understand that part before he could proceed with the story.

“···I was planning on persuading Soo-Hyun Yoon to teach our awakened people the same things that the two of you learned. Of course, I planned to limit the target audience to those who have deep patriotism for their country.”

“Is that the decision of the higher-ups? Or your?”

“Of course…”

“This is the decision of the higher-ups.”

Well, from the looks of it, Amelia was someone who was sent to recruit me into the beauty world and bring me to the US, and it didn’t seem like she was sent to take charge of everything after that.

“Aiming to power up the awakened people already active in the United States… I guess the reason such a plan was made is because of special gates that have been occurring sporadically in the United States recently, right?”

“···!”

A reaction as if they were very surprised, even forgetting to control their facial expressions.

I could tell just by looking at it.

The information just mentioned through the main character’s mouth is information that is treated as confidential even in the United States.

“It’s not that surprising. The guild I work for has a somewhat unique foundation, so I tend to have wide feet for one reason or another.”

“···Mmm.”

Is it because that was made public?

Amelia’s expression became slightly uncomfortable.

No, even if that’s the case, it’s a special gate.

What on earth is that?

“Wait a minute, a special gate? What is that again?”

“There is no official name yet, but the US says it is called Sudden Gate.”

“Sudden gate?”

“Uh, maybe… it was opened in our country once too?”

“Really?”

“Uh, an unexpected gate refers to a gate that is immediately triggered by a break as soon as it occurs… Well, the one that opened in our country didn’t become a hot topic because a hunter who happened to be passing by solved it.”

wait for a sec.

A gate that causes a break as soon as it occurs…?

I think I’ve seen that somewhere…

“No way… Are you talking about the one that opened near Rahee’s neighborhood the other day? Did a giant bat come out?”

“Maybe that’s right?”

“That’s me…”

“What?”

Oh right.

Juyeon Han: I guess she didn’t know that far.

Although the story briefly leaked elsewhere, I was able to quickly return to the main topic.

“In short, what you ultimately want is a way to power up existing awakeners, right?”

“There are many more, but this is the part we focus on the most.”

And as soon as the story that had fallen into Samcheonpo returned to its original track, Rahee immediately stepped in to provide support.

“Then the location doesn’t necessarily have to be the United States, right?”

“Yes? What is that…?”

“What’s important is not the place, but what you learn, isn’t it?”

“That’s…”

Could it be that he couldn’t deny those words?

Amelia trailed off slightly.

Without missing the opportunity, Rahee continued speaking.

“Isn’t there a good teaching place in Korea?”

“Teaching place… What do you mean?”

“US military base in Pyeongtaek.”

“···Ah.”

“If you do that, you won’t have to worry about security… In fact, I think it will be easier to deceive people that way rather than proceeding with the work in the mainland U.S., don’t you think?”

“Umm···.”

Did they think it was not a question that could be answered hastily?

Amelia’s eyebrows narrowed slightly.

“It’s enough to make excuses… Honestly, I don’t think I’m that bad.”

Was it not just Rahee who thought that way?

Aside from narrowing her eyebrows, Amelia’s reaction itself wasn’t too bad.

And at this moment, Rahee seemed to be planning to drive a wedge in there, but she raised a very stern voice.

“Can I be honest with you?”

“···?”

” Yoon Soo-hyun… You probably didn’t even think about immigration in the first place, right?”

“Yes…?”

“The reason I followed you here in the first place was because I was curious about what they were suggesting. I guess you just pretended to listen at least and then ran away, saying you would think about it?”

Amelia’s eyes turned straight toward me at Rahee’s comment, as if she was looking into my inner self.

Then he started giving me a look in his eyes as if asking if what he said was true.

“You followed me here with that in mind, didn’t you?”

“What…”

Needless to say, Ra-hee’s mood became even worse as she was a little embarrassed to see Amelia’s face and scratched her head while avoiding her gaze, telling her to look at this.

“Look. If things went the way they were supposed to, it was bound to fail anyway, right?”

I will turn that into half success.

So take my offer.

Rahee’s voice was saying that.

And did it work?

“···Can I hear that proposal in detail?”

“Can I hear what you want?”

‘done···!’

The moment the words that were practically a declaration of surrender flowed from the other person’s mouth, she cried out in joy.

At the same time, my hands were very strong, but there was nothing good about showing that I was so happy, so I lowered my tightly clenched hands under the table and hid them.

In that way, I hid my joy and put on the most calm expression on my face.

“There are two things I want.”

“Two things… Let me tell you.”

“First of all… I want American citizenship.”

“It’s not difficult.”

Well, that’s probably true.

Because that’s probably what they were trying to provide in the first place.

“But… ordinary is not enough.”

“Are you saying that ordinary things are not enough…?”

“As far as I know, when you acquire American citizenship, you gather at a courthouse or an immigration office and take an oath in front of a judge. Is that correct?”

It was said that way in a documentary about immigration that I once saw, so it’s probably certain.

“Yes, that’s true, but…”

“Do you really need to be a judge?”

“Because that part is specified in the law, it is difficult for me to give an answer.”

“Then, does it violate the law for someone other than a judge to be present when taking the oath?”

“Not really.”

“Then… there won’t be any problem even if a high-ranking U.S. official is present, right?”

“Yes…? What do you mean by high-ranking public official?”

“Of course, wouldn’t that vary depending on the case?”

I had no intention of designating a specific position or anything like that.

Here, depending on who the U.S. dispatches, you will be able to check how sincere they are.

‘Still, I hope it’s at the level of a minister…’

That way, when the story spreads outside, it will become more of a hot topic.

“Anyway, please discuss that matter carefully and make a decision… Secondly, I want full cooperation from the U.S. government.”

“Full cooperation…?”

“It means literally. If they receive this offer, from that moment on, it will virtually become a strategic asset of the United States. If so, shouldn’t it be provided with appropriate protection?”

I won’t refuse.

The United States would not want to lose the goose that lays the golden eggs in vain.

“And in that sense…”

“···?”

“Do you know any reporters in Korea? I think it definitely exists.”

Even if you accept the offer from over there, should you try starting with a light unplay first?

Everyone must have felt that this was an opportunity and had fun criticizing someone else’s boyfriend, right?

At this point, let’s all regret as a group.
