After asking two executives and an intern to tie my feet, Seong Ji-eun and I took a walk along the night roads of Ulleungdo to get some fresh air.

“The reason you don’t trust Ymir is because he’s a foreigner?”

“It’s not because I’m a foreigner. You know. I hate people who are like ‘justice fanatics’ like him.”

Seong Ji-eun did not hide his feelings.

“For me, there are two types of people I hate the most in the world. One is those who think they can trample on others for their own gain, and the other is…”

“Like Gwangikong, they are people who act with only ‘sense of justice’ as their top priority.”

To sum it up in one line, Seong Ji-eun hates ‘just heroes’.

“Sense of justice? It’s good. However, there are cases where other people suffer damage due to that sense of justice, and in the case of my sister, she suffered the damage directly.”

“…I’m not asking why people like that are just. It’s just that I don’t like it in the sense that I don’t want to get close to it.”

Seong Ji-eun also has no intention of crossing the line.

It’s just that I don’t want to be around people I don’t like.

“I am. I hate this country.”

Is it because the two came out after a long time, or is it because they came to Ulleungdo after Jeju Island?

“Force them to always be just, force them to do their best for the country and people, force them to care only about national interests rather than their personal lives, and finally force them to have children.”

This country before, that is, this country in the world around 2020, was like that.

“Do you know what I hated hearing the most back then?”

“Gwangikkong works so hard, so why do you keep trying to get rid of him?”

“That’s right. I hated that the most.”

Actually, there is such a thing.

It’s not that I’m doing anything particularly bad, but if there’s a child in the class who is too good of an example and is sincere, there are people who try to take advantage of that for their own gain.

“You’ve been using me since I was three years old, when I didn’t know anything, and when I was playing with the roads of Busan. Other than that, is there one or two? I also built the bridge that goes to Sejong Island. Then at least as I grow, I need to give myself some freedom. But why do you keep trying to suppress that freedom by comparing it to Gwangikkong?”

And while Seong Ji-eun was alive, he was compared to Gwangikgong and was forced to work for the country.

“I understand. My ability is the best ability for them to use. So, as a form of ‘play’, we had the little baby clean roads in Busan, build bridges, and build apartments. Ugh.”

The ability to control the land.

S-class.

Age wasn’t important.

What matters is whether you have that ability or not.

Seong Ji-eun’s talent was shown to everyone at an early age, and the government risked its life to use Seong Ji-eun’s talent to develop the country.

“Jieun, shall we try this? That’s right. Just make it flat from here to there. No, do you see that over there? Yes, the one our uncles made. Should I try making it just like that one? good job! I’ll give you some candy. Damn, I cleaned all the roads in Busan with one bag of candy.”

It is no exaggeration to say that although the road redevelopment in Busan was started by people, the middle and end were completed by Seong Ji-eun.

“You have done so much for this country, but this country gave me shit.”

“That’s a blatant expression.”

“Then what do you say about that? Did you forget? If I had just accepted the idea of having a child with that piece of shit, I wouldn’t be here.”

“Not a virgin ghost, but she would have been in the same position as Yang Darin over there.”

“……After. okay. I know you’re lucky. Because I killed myself because I hated it, you took my sister’s first birthday.”

“Should that be considered fortunate?”

“It’s good that things turned out well in the end. Hehehe.”

Should I say that I have a good mentality?

Or should I say that my desire for revenge has diminished after becoming a virgin ghost and staying in an association for about 5 years?

“…But, I don’t really hate Ymir.”

“If my sister didn’t like it, she wouldn’t have interacted with me at all.”

“Okay. Regardless of whether a goblin was in the middle of it or not, they probably wouldn’t have interacted with each other at all. If you had said you were patriotic like Ymir and us, I would have completely fallen for it.”

Seong Ji-eun is that kind of woman.

I may be an introvert by nature, but I am not a woman who necessarily wants to be in the same position as the type of person I dislike.

“But seeing as you talked to Ymir and drank tea together, I guess you liked Ymir a little?”

“…….”

“You’re not saying you’re patriotic, you’re just a decent person, right?”

“Really, you’re annoying.”

Suddenly Seong Ji-eun glared at me and gritted his teeth.

“How can you turn such a good boy into a patriotic dancer?”

“Is it my fault?”

“Wrong. You turned a kid who had a sense of justice as good as a Gwangyukgong into a pervert full of thoughts of doing such things. You really are…”

Smirk.

“So I like it.”

Seong Ji-eun smiled.

“Okay. We can’t just let people live like thugs. You must be able to compromise to a certain degree, be able to clearly say no, and at the same time be able to indulge your own greed.”

Seong Ji-eun hates people like ‘former Gwangikgong or Ymir’ who have a sense of justice.

“If he had met me when he came to Korea, I would have really hated him. How dare you give something like the devil a chance?”

“Because I didn’t know about purification at the time.”

“The same applies even if there was purification. Those who become devils and kill people should be killed right away. I’m sure they asked why I should give them another chance.”

Ymir was like that at that time.

But Ymir is different now.

“You make a girl who had as much of a sense of justice as Gwangikkong become an intern for the organization, but at the same time make her act similarly to the organization’s executives? Hehehe, I don’t hate that kind of corruption.”

“Rather than corruption, it is a recognition of the dirtiness and ugliness of reality.”

“That is corruption. The pure white drawing paper was dyed with the color of a goblin.”

“First of all, that color is probably not pink or reddish. Because what I showed Ymir was the ugly reality of this country.”

The ugliness of the world was like that, but even if we didn’t go over to the world, the countless filths shown in this country were enough.

“Just as Gwangikkong, who died once and came back to life, has completely changed now, Ymir has also changed. So don’t hate it too much.”

“I absolutely do not like it. He said he would lend his body too, so how could I not like it? Just….”

Jeez.

“It would be better to clearly decide on the route.”

Seong Ji-eun stopped in place and stared at me.

“Rather than letting him fall into a situation full of vague sense of justice, it may be better to make him fall for you completely.”

“Make me fall in love even more than I am now?”

“The idea is to make them join the group. It’s not about temporary cooperation, it’s about breaking down the line of resistance called ‘interning’. You know what I mean, right?”

“…Okay.”

For Ymir, being an intern is the Maginot Line.

It is a line of psychological resistance to her joining hands with a villainous organization called the Society – an organization that does not hesitate to kill people for world peace – and a common enemy called Pandemonium.

Like Baek Seol-hee, you pretend not to know that you are a desperate person.

Like Yoon I-seon, they join the organization altogether.

Like Kim Yun-ji, establishing a de facto cooperative relationship with an association.

If you have to ask who you are closer to, you should make it closer to Yoon Iseon.

“You may have a hard time, but aren’t you taking her with you with the intention of keeping her around? In the first place, a goblin who doesn’t like losing time to others lets people into his room without permission? It can’t happen.”

“Isn’t a goblin important enough to do such an impossible thing?”

“Yes, yes. Starting with the ability to purify demons, it has magical power that is comparable to, or even greater than, mine in life. Ha, really, that’s amazing.”

Seong Ji-eun laughed.

“The woman who made the goblin invest more time in meeting women than reading books.”

“You’re not jealous, right?”

“If I’m jealous, it’s because of Ymir’s age, not because of anything else. Keep in mind.”

“…….”

This woman.

He is the same age as Baek Seol-hee.

In fact, she is a few months ‘earlier’, and if you look at her age, it is not strange to call her a real ‘older sister’.

and.

“…Really, it’s been a while since I came all the way to Korea and all I do is nag.”

“I don’t think it’s nagging.”

She was forced to be loyal to the state until she was 20 years old, and for five years as a virgin ghost, she remained loyal to a group for revenge, but she is living a life that is significantly different from before this year.

“I actually feel like I need to peck at Ymir more clearly thanks to my older sister. There is no one next to me who talks like this.”

“How are you going to peck me?”

“To take them to Japan and show them the terrible reality of East Joseon. There is also a Managold gun.”

“…I see. That’s a bit unfortunate.”

Neither a hero nor a villain.

“I might be a little jealous of going everywhere with you.”

“Aren’t you jealous of the map?”

“…Hmph. Still, I don’t know anything else, but is it good value for money?”

As a woman.

“…It’s outside, but I think I can endure it for at least a few months by doing it here once. What do you think?”

“Outside….”

A road at night filled with only darkness.

“It’s the perfect place for goblins and ghosts to play pranks.”

I held Seong Ji-eun’s hand and walked toward the forest.
