“What did you talk about so long above?”

“A story about patriotism.”

After eating dinner prepared by Baek Seol-hee.

I had tea time with four other people in the living room.

“I have something to tell everyone. I am patriotic, not just for pleasure.”

Everyone’s eyes are on me.

“Okay. That’s most reactions. This is a story that can be said because not everyone knows the possibility of patriotism.”

“Possibility…?”

“I’ll start with the conclusion.”

A very shocking truth that has been kept a secret from everyone, but is only now being revealed.

“If you are patriotic, your skills can improve.”

“……Huh?”

“I’m not kidding. It’s true.”

I rubbed my hands together.

“If you become patriotic, a person with special abilities will become much stronger than before. Overall.”

“What is that….”

“It progresses much faster than just breathing, exercising, or developing special abilities. That’s my ‘theory’.”

Patriotic universal theory.

It is not for nothing that I associate everything in this country with patriotism.

“Baek Seol-hee, you already know, right?”

“You weren’t just saying that because you liked doing things with me…?”

“…There is that, but it’s also good to develop this ability while feeling good.”

I stood on one side of the pension wall, in front of the whiteboard.

“Hey, why is there a whiteboard in the pension?”

“Well, this place also acts like a kind of seminar room.”

That’s because it’s a hideout on Ulleungdo Island.

In fact, many operational plans were made here.

“Why, patriotism? Seolhee. How do you feel when you’re patriotic?”

“…be happy.”

“Okay. That happiness. As I said, Seolhee is mainly about pleasure.”

“Hey.”

Baek Seol-hee glared at me with half-closed eyes, but I just told the truth.

“Could you please not define my happiness of spending time with the man I fell in love with just the word pleasure?”

“Then, shall we just watch late-night movies together from now on?”

“Hey….”

Baek Seol-hee bit her lip as she looked at the three people who were looking at her vaguely.

“What are you not going to eat while watching a late night movie?”

“Popcorn?”

“What’s new? I heard it’s not work like watching a movie? good. Pleasure, I admit it.”

Soon, she became as confident as when she put a steel plate on her face and announced her pregnancy at a press conference.

“You enjoy pleasure while being with me.”

“Of course. I don’t deny it either. I feel like I’m going crazy every time I do it with Seolhee.”

“Teacher, if you say that in front of us…”

“Student Lee Seon is going to be like that anyway, so it’s good to know in advance.”

“Well, I’m still…! Oh no! Over there!!”

Yoon Yi-seon stood up and raised her voice.

“Hey. Lee Seon, as expected, you decided to do it?”

“Hey, over there. sister. So…!”

“Thank goodness. Because I have a colleague.”

Baek Seol-hee held Yoon I-seon’s hand with a kind smile.

“Actually, it was difficult for me to handle it alone. thank you. If Lee Seon helps, we can win.”

“How can I not do it alone…?”

“Both of them are actually dangerous.”

“How do you know that….”

“Okay. I know because I already tried it. Not the person here.”

Baek Seol-hee smiled bitterly and sat down again.

“I’m a person who can easily handle two people. Even three…maybe I can easily get over it.”

“Well, that’s…”

Yun Yi-seon saw it.

I’m doing 3:1.

And win.

“…I won’t know unless I try it. But if you play 3:1…”

“For now, leaving Irin aside, it’s Yunji. Please answer without making it complicated. Are you going to do it?”

“You mean me?”

Kim Yun-ji, who had been sitting still, was startled and took a straight posture.

“…If you give permission-”

“You’re not going to do it without my permission. It’s up to you.”

“……Is it okay to do this?”

“You’re not asking me for permission. If you ask for permission…”

Baek Seol-hee pointed at me.

“I have to ask permission from the wife of that person hidden in a veil.”

“Ah!”

Yunji Kim was very surprised and clapped her hands.

“Wasn’t that some kind of slang or setting?”

“That’s right, he’s married. It’s also true that he has a wife. It’s true that I’m having an affair, and it’s true that he’s seeing multiple women even though he has a wife. Even….”

“Because my wife likes me having sex with other women.”

“Wow!”

Where did the sound come from just now?

“…Miss Tailin?”

“Oh, no. Don’t worry about me, just keep going. I’ll just… just quietly listen.”

Taeyrin became one with the sofa with an excited expression on her face.

“Please think of it as just a folding screen and don’t worry about it.”

“…Well, okay.”

It seems like Taeirin is obsessed with something.

If I had to use an analogy, it seemed like there was a lot of interest in the fact that a story that could only be seen in the eyes of any other person was actually unfolding.

Even if what I thought was ‘that kind of setting’ turned out to be true, it seems like I just entered a state of ‘I guess that’ rather than wondering ‘why’.

If I were to sum up that feeling in one line, I would say, ‘It’s easier to give up.’

“So, Yoonji, what do you want to do?”

“…I’m curious. Why did Baek Seol-hee become so enthusiastic?”

“Are you going to eat it?”

“Yes. Let me try it…”

“I am being eaten.”

“……Excuse me.”

Yunji Kim got up from her seat and politely bowed down to her waist towards me.

” Enjoy your meal, Do Ji-hwan. ”

“I am honored. Being eaten by the brain emperor Kim Yun-ji.”

“Are you being eaten, or is the teacher eating you?”

“You think you will be eaten, but after a while, you will be eaten. As always, Baek Seol-hee.”

“Hey….”

“What? Anyway, soon everyone will be able to take off their covers and talk honestly, so what are you worried about?”

I proudly opened my arms.

“Are you not going to eat it?”

“…….”

“If you decide to eat it, you have to tell it. How delicious this herbal medicine is and what effects it has on the body. Coming back to the correlation between patriotism and intellectual ability.”

Pleasure, emotion, desire, and ‘love’.

“Human needs are most closely related to improving abilities. And the strongest of human desires is love. The more you love, the stronger you become.”

It’s not a joke.

“The emotion of love becomes a human’s goal, or the goal of a loved one becomes that person’s motivation. The loving heart itself can become the will to become stronger. And.”

I tapped on the part that said patriotism with a board marker.

“The act of sharing love can also lead to improvement of one’s abilities. Circulation of mana, enhancement of magical power, and finally, feeling the need in the process of action and developing new abilities.”

“Oh…!”

When I extended the vodka to Baek Seol-hee, Baek Seol-hee blushed and stiffened.

” Baek Seol-hee. When did you get your self-immolation?”

“Well, that.”

“When did you need this ability called alter ego? What made you desperately want to self-immolate?”

“That means…!”

“You can be honest. Anyway, people here don’t think of such things as trivial.”

“……I made it with Do Ji-hwan, but it was too hard to do alone, so I tried to overcome it somehow, even if it was by immolating myself.”

Baek Seol-hee revealed the truth.

“Senior….”

“So, I developed this ability as an alter ego because I wanted to feel more pleasure.”

“Lee Seon-ah. That’s a little different, isn’t it?”

“The higher-ups over there thought that the S-class hero had a strong sense of justice to the extent of dividing his body into two, but in reality, it was to satisfy his carnal desires…”

“Hey. Are you going to be like me?”

The shame is only temporary.

Baek Seol-hee shamelessly stepped forward.

“Right, Ji-hwan?”

“First of all, I know that Seolhee is still a liar.”

“What…?”

“That’s not it, Seolhee. The real reason I developed the alter ego was not to use the alter ego to assist me.”

I tapped the ‘desire’ part.

“‘Monopolistic desire’ to create an alter ego and try to do the work of many people by yourself, to monopolize yourself.”

“Ugh.”

“The ‘desire to confinement’, which was intended to make me unable to leave the house while putting my alter ego outside to work.”

“….”

“And above all.”

I wrote down one word.

“The ‘real reason’ is that when the main body said it couldn’t go on and seemed to be going crazy, it set itself on fire at me and tried to rest itself.”

A pinch hitter arrives.

“When I have free time, I enjoy sharing the sensations with my alter ego. When I don’t have free time, I block the sensations coming from my alter ego to give my body time to recover. No?”

“…….”

Even if you create an alter ego, you reduce the damage that comes to the main body.

That’s the fundamental reason why Baek Seol-hee learned the ability to self-immolate.

The primary purpose is to make dolls for external activities, but if you look more closely, the fundamental reason ultimately lies in the circumstances on the bed.

“Did you see it? Student Lee Seon and Yunji. In this way, patriotism is a great driving force in developing new abilities for people with special abilities.”

“……I guess so. Well, it’s a little bit…ah. No way, that too…?”

“Do you have any guesses, Student Lee Seon?”

“…….”

Ymir’s space movement ability.

When Ymir first appeared as a golden knight in full armor, he ran from afar and disappeared, but at some point, he opened a portal and began to appear.

This ability also comes from patriotism.

This ability was developed so that I could enter my room at any time without leaving a record of my entry.

“Like this, patriotism is a great help in developing and improving one’s abilities.”

“…Do Ji-hwan, I think you can teach at the academy with your patriotism skills.”

“That’s right, but for that to happen, wouldn’t it be necessary to run only a night college? Because that’s not something I really want. At night…you have to be patriotic. And this kind of lecture is not something that can be given to just anyone.”

To the extent that the entire global village can become a patriotic village, there is knowledge in the world that is okay to share and knowledge that should not be shared carelessly.

“Anyway, patriotic acts are closely related to the development of one’s natural abilities. Did you understand up to this point?”

This information and knowledge is the latter.

“And one more thing. It is also closely related to the flow of mana.”

“What…?”

“This is just based on what my wife said, but it’s a solid theory.”

I can say for sure.

“Patriotic acts…can increase the mana of this ability. You can go beyond your limits and increase your limits.”

“……!!”

Why is Korea a land of opportunity and promise for those with special abilities?

Of course, it is a land blessed with mana.

“Just as strength increases when muscles are stimulated, magical power increases when the brain and mind are stimulated.”

“……Huh?”

“Pleasure, happiness, satisfaction of desires, love. The more the brain is activated due to such emotions, the faster the person with special ability will be able to generate mana thanks to that stimulation. Mana also increases.”

“As if muscles increase and cardiorespiratory endurance improves…?”

“Yes.”

It’s simple.

“If negative emotions turn people with special abilities into demons, wouldn’t positive emotions turn people with special abilities into the opposite?”

“…An angel?”

“……It means becoming stronger.”

The happier you are, the stronger you become.

“The union between a man and a woman leads to improved physical abilities and increased magical power. This is the law of the world.”

This is the fundamental principle of this world set by the author.

“So patriotic acts are not strange. It is the surest way to become stronger quickly, healthily, and most definitely.”

I’m not crazy about patriotism.

This world is crazy about patriotism.
