Late summer, Kaesong, South Korea.

“Hwaam.”

Park Ki-woo, a young man working part-time at a 30-year-old Pyongyang cold noodle restaurant in Kaesong, watched TV while chasing away flies from a store that rarely had any customers.

-…All Haeguneul stocks are hitting their lowest price every day…

-…Mr. Choi, CEO of Haegeuneul Electronics, was attacked while eating and was taken to Haegeuneul General Hospital, but died of cardiac arrest during transport….

-Meanwhile, while the ‘Haegeuneul Electronics Labor Exploitation Victims Association’ is holding daily protests near the Haegeuneul Industrial Complex, the theory that it is the opposition party that organizes and runs this association is spreading….

“Ugh, uproar, uproar.”

For Park Ki-woo, it was probably a good thing.

That’s because he didn’t invest in Haegeuneul, and he often uses products from other companies rather than Haegeuneul products.

Of course, the Taegeuk watch he is wearing, the TV he is looking at, and even-

“Ah, damn it!! I fell again!!”

Sunshade is also the place where the owner, who came from Seoul and opened a 30-year-old Pyeongyang naengmyeon restaurant in Kaesong, invested tens of millions of won.

“Ha. It’s rain. I’m coming with a ride for a moment.”

“Yes. Bye. I will check the counter.”

“Okay. Fish oil, sunshade, you damn thing, fry it in shit water with the golden pig and kill it…”

The president went out, muttering to himself a double curse he had never heard in his life, towards the shade of the sun.

Could it be that my salary gets cut because the stock goes bankrupt?

To Ki-woo, Sunshade is just another company, but if he takes a step, the damage will come back to Ki-woo.

“Kaesong is not a North Pig Republic, but a Sunshade Republic.”

Jingling jingling.

“Boss, take a ride…huh?”

Two men and a woman, a combination rarely seen in Kaesong, entered the store.

The man had black hair and sparkling ‘golden eyes’, while the woman had white hair and white eyes that were rarely seen.

“2 Pyongyang cold noodles.”

“Ah, yes. Please sit this way.”

For a moment, I wondered if a celebrity had come, but the celebrities who had visited here in the past were people whose beauty was incomparable.

“Um….”

Could it be that he is a talented person?

The person with white hair and white eyes that immediately comes to mind is Taeirin, but that woman…

‘I think she looks like Baek Seol-hee.’

No matter how you look at it, she looks like Baek Seol-hee, who is currently making a fuss in Busan about having a child.

Is Baek Seol-hee in Gaeseong?

“……A.”

Park Ki-woo gave up that thought as soon as he saw the white-haired woman sitting at the table and taking off her thin cardigan.

“The bowl is different, the bowl.”

Park Ki-woo first picked up the side dish paper next to the cold noodle bowl for the broth.

“The difference in mid-range has increased.”

* * *

The weakness, not the weakness, of Baek Seol-hee’s alter ego’s ability lies in ‘distance’.

The alter ego is an ice doll created by Baek Seol-hee that moves with mana.

If the distance between the clone and the main body increases, as soon as the clone’s mana runs out, it melts away like a snowman in the middle of the day.

I can’t say for sure yet, but the stronger the will or ego that is put into the alter ego, the bigger the blow could be if that alter ego fails to return to Baek Seol-hee’s true form.

However, Baek Seol-hee also continued to study self-immolation as time passed.

Thanks to this, the alter ego can now operate at a considerable distance from the main body.

Just a few weeks ago, the main body was in Seogwipo, but the alter ego was able to wander around the northern part of Jeju Island for a while.

Nowadays, while the main body is located in the center of Busan, the alter ego can take the subway to the edge of Busan.

If you go beyond that, the clone will disappear as soon as its mana runs out.

Even if it can last for a few hours, it will only become a doll that carries out the ‘commands’ that Baek Seol-hee implanted in it during the process of creating an alter ego.

Then the alter ego will disappear.

Unable to return to his original body, unable to gain the experience and knowledge he experienced when he was his alter ego – ‘Baek Harang’.

Therefore, Baek Seol-hee has been training herself to be able to control her alter ego as much as possible.

Although it is still difficult to confirm the distance, the distance where Baek Seol-hee’s main body can ‘directly’ control her alter ego is about Busan.

However, if there are ice crystals, the story is different.

The ice crystal is Baek Seol-hee’s own mana sub tank that she placed in the sky, and it is an artificial satellite made of ice.

in other words.

If ice crystals are installed at a distance where the clone can be manipulated, Baek Seol-hee can control the clone as far as the ice crystal’s mana influence can reach.

actually….

“Ta-da. How about it?”

[No one will expect it. There will be another Baek Sul-hee in Seoul who is currently lying at home in Busan.]

“Isn’t that all the power of ice crystals?”

Baek Seol-hee is currently in Seoul.

To be precise, Baek Seol-hee’s alter ego – Baek Harang – is in Seoul.

“No one knows. look. Baek Seol-hee is currently on the top roof of the 63 Building.”

[If people found out, social media would immediately go crazy. He said he was with the goblin. Still…there is no need for me to assist separately.]

“If I don’t have goblin backup, will I be divided right away? No.”

correction.

It’s not Baek Harang.

“How about it? To you, do I look like Baek Harang now, or Baek Sulhee?”

[Baek Sul-hee would be able to answer this question right away. Where did I just take Baek Harang to?]

“Pyongyang cold noodle restaurant in Kaesong.”

[It is certain that it is connected to the main body.]

While far away in Busan, Baek Seol-hee has clearly grown to the point where she can control her current alter ego as her perfect self.

The reason why she is so passionate about developing her alter ego abilities.

that.

[Earlier at home, he pretended not to know that Do Ji-hwan was a goblin, but when he said he would follow him to Japan, he openly asked for help.]

This is because, while she is physically in Busan, she wants to act with me in person, even if it means sending an alter ego.

“Why are you here now? Just playing around like that.”

[Is that a game?]

“It’s fun. I can also consciously differentiate.”

Baek Seol-hee tapped her temple with her finger.

“How worried I am that I might make a mistake. They say Do Ji-hwan is a goblin.”

[Thank you for always being so attentive.]

“Okay then. Mr. So-and-so says he prefers Do Ji-hwan as the child’s father, so of course we should pay attention. So.”

Baek Seol-hee opened her arms and pointed to her alter ego.

” At this level, can I follow you to Busan? ”

[There will be many restrictions. First, don’t act like Do Ji-hwan there. Always act like a ‘goblin’.]

There is no such thing as showing off a hero.

“In other words, there is no consideration for me as Do Ji-hwan?”

[You will see for yourself that the way your boyfriend acts at home is different from the way he acts at work.]

“I’ve never had a boyfriend, so I’m not sure?”

[…….]

I approached Baek Seol-hee and lightly flicked my finger on her forehead.

“Evil?!”

[second. Since the clone will not require excessive mana, there will be a limit to the abilities that can be produced. Just about grade D.]

No matter how much a situation arises where Baek Seol-hee wants to step forward as a hero, it is not an environment where she can step forward.

[I suddenly ended up experiencing the underdog, but if you still want to follow me, you can follow me.]

“Of course. I’ll follow you. Unconditionally.”

Baek Seol-hee chose to accompany me even though she was in a situation where she was limited both as a hero and as an S-class person with superpowers.

“You’re not the only one sending this, so how can I feel safe?”

[what?]

“You feel safer alone. If you’re going with executives, that’s even better. But, he… haha.”

Weeeeing.

A blonde woman landed softly on the roof of the 63 Building.

“Ta-da. This body appears.”

“Aren’t you crazy?”

[I admit it obediently. It’s called Gwangik Gong-gi. No, to be honest, it’s more than that.]

“Heehee.”

The blonde woman who appeared in ordinary gym clothes was, of course, ‘Ymir’.

“Sister. How does it feel to be eating with me in Busan and meeting on the rooftop in Seoul?”

“Sucks.”

“Wow, that’s too harsh.”

“How could I not feel like shit? I gave up all the money, but they came all the way to Seoul by laying ice at every KTX station from Busan to Seoul, and someone set themselves on fire without even thinking about it!”

Baek Seol-hee started to get really annoyed.

It’s annoying, honestly, it’s just annoying.

“I can’t move through space yet, but I feel like I’m the only one who got screwed. I even think he uses my skills better than me. What does the goblin think of him? Isn’t it a scam?”

[That’s why I don’t teach them techniques well either.]

“Wow, that’s too much. Are you the only one bullying me now?”

Ymir looked tearful, but soon came over to us and grabbed my arm and Baek Seol-hee’s arm at the same time.

” Instead, let’s go have fun together, the three of us. To Japan.”

“I’m not going out to have fun. I’m going to work.”

“You’re not going as Baek Seol-hee, you’re not going as Ymir, you’re not going as a teacher, you’re going as a ‘goblin’, so what’s the big deal? Oh. Should I change my name too?”

Ymir pointed at himself with his thumb.

“How about ‘Yuna’, which looks Korean but still feels Japanese?”

[…….]

for a moment.

There was a moment when my head hurt, but I caught my breath and distanced myself from Ymir, who called herself Yuna.

[There is no need to go that far. Anyway, local people passing by won’t pay any attention to us.]

“If you go there, you and two other people will see a beautiful girl who looks like Baek Seol-hee and has blond hair, but you don’t care?”

[of course.]

If you care, it’s not because you’re curious about the identity of someone with special abilities, but because you care in a different way.

[Rather, you should be prepared to take a lot of pictures, right? Well, if you dress like this, your image rights will be lost.]

“Portrait rights….”

[Because it was the perfect time.]

today.

[If you go there, it will be overflowing with goblins, snow whites, and platinum suns, so what could be strange?]

To the destination we need to go to.

[It is said that leaves must be hidden in the forest.]

A comic market is unfolding.
