On the way to Osaka, Japan.

Of course, we are not going by plane, by ship, or by space travel.

Going to the submarine.

If you ask me what kind of submarine it is, it’s one that other people would say ‘it’s just a concept’ and move on.

“Teacher. It’s the king of carp, why is it black?”

“Because it is the personal color of death.”

Inside the submarine, Ymir, who was sitting at the tea table in the middle, tackled the exterior design of the submarine.

“And the gold border on the black base is the truth.”

“So it’s just because it’s cool?”

“If it’s cool, it’s the best.”

“It’s the carp king?”

“Evolving isn’t cool. And it’s not a submarine, it’s a flying one.”

“…Really?”

“Then.”

I saw.

The existence of that guy flying in the sky in the open world worldview.

“If we were flying over a valley, we would have made something similar to that, but that’s not what we do. They said they would sneak in through the sea. Isn’t that right, Baek Intern?”

“…Rather than an intern, aren’t I an auditor?”

Baek Seol-hee, who was quietly drinking tea, crossed her legs and answered bluntly.

“I came to watch, not really to help?”

“Ah, I understand. Are you calling me a tsundere for that? Sister, are you that worried about the teacher?”

“You are the one I came to monitor.”

Baek Seol-hee immediately approached Ymir and grabbed Ymir’s cheeks and stretched them from side to side.

“If I don’t follow you, you’ll just joke around and say that you’re having fun alone, so how can I stay quiet, huh?”

“Unni, you think I will only be patriotic even if I go to Japan with you. Does this face look like the face thinking those things right now?”

“It’s not your face, it’s your very existence that’s the only thing I can think of.”

“Wow, how can they treat real people like that? Manager, someone outside the company is harassing the intern.”

“We will only take care of regular employees. And I’m busy right now.”

“Ah.”

Ymir asked me for help, but I just watched the monitor and focused on the external situation.

“Seolhee. Now Seolheeni and Harangi.”

“Baek Seol-hee. The ice crystals are working really well?”

An ice crystal being pulled by a helicopter was visible in the sky over Tsushima Island seen on the monitor.

“I feel a bit sorry for the Japanese people. Actually, I left it like that so I could use it.”

“No matter what the intention, it is good as long as the result is good.”

Japan was selected as the first country to transfer ice crystals.

Why Japan?

The fundamental reason is that Baek Seol-hee wants to follow me to Japan, but I added several reasons to hide this reason.

“Politics, economy, society, culture. We are currently gaining advantages over Japan in every way.”

Tyreen said.

-Black Winggong, Black Winggong. Mr. President, may I use the ice crystal during the summit meeting with Japan? If you give me that, I think the prime minister will come running.

For example, the Korean president not only received love calls from governments around the world regarding the transfer of ice crystals, but was also treated as a state guest on an overseas trip, thereby increasing the nation’s prestige.

Hyera Yoon said.

-Do you think the FTA was concluded in a very interesting way with the transfer of ice? Thanks to this, we will be able to increase our stocks in Osaka. It will be a way to enter Korea via Japan, but I think it will be easier to break into Sunshade stocks than entering Korea from the United States.

For example, Korea provides all kinds of economic benefits from Japan in exchange for providing ice through an FTA.

Well, there are many other advantages, but Korea is benefiting a lot in return for only giving up a few ice crystals.

“Is this the will of the ‘hwan’ you mentioned…?”

“Okay. Because we act for the national interest, everything turns out well. Even ordinary people, like those who discovered us earlier, just pretend not to notice.”

Use whatever is available.

Even if that is Hwan’s will, which is a pain in the ass.

“Let’s move again slowly. If the connection is cut off in the middle and you end up with Baek Ha, Baek Sul-hee in Busan might run to the sea out of frustration.”

Just like when I came from Sejong Island to Ulleungdo.

“Please keep talking. When it comes to Harang.”

“I’m still Baek Sul-hee, right?”

“Then I’m glad.”

I grabbed the submarine’s steering wheel again.

Shoot!

Traversing through the sea, the submarine sinks deeper and deeper into Japanese waters.

In fact, we are moving so close that it is no different from crawling on the ground, but no one notices us.

“Teacher. Does this mean it won’t take until we get to Japan?”

“Okay. The body of the submarine is not mana gold, but if you cover the surface of the submarine with mana, that’s it.”

Mana was applied to the outside of the submarine so that it would not be detected by radars that search under the sea.

“Look.”

“…uh.”

Ymir and Baek Seol-hee’s expressions harden when they see the place I pointed to.

“Now, why is the submarine…?”

“There is nothing strange about a submarine in Japanese waters.”

“Seo, teacher?! Why are you getting closer?!”

“Just.”

Shoot!

We passed by the submarine by slightly turning the steering wheel, but the submarine did not recognize us.

“Three, oh my…”

“Under the sea, we rely more on radar than on human eyes.”

The submarine slowed down for a moment, but it wasn’t really chasing us.

“The captain and crew must be arguing by now. What was that? I think I just saw a black carp king passing by.”

“……I guess they just thought I was possessed by a ghost and saw something wrong.”

“That’s right. Even if something has passed, nothing will remain in the records.”

If there was no record in the electronic device, they would just think that they had been in the sea for a long time and had seen a ghost.

“The unfortunate thing is that they couldn’t find us over there, but we also can’t find anything on our way.”

There were several ways to come to Japan.

However, the reason I chose the seabed was because I deliberately went into the sea in case I might be able to find ‘them’.

“The demons of Pandemonium, I can’t see them.”

“Um….”

“Could it be under the sea on the Korean Peninsula? Not Japan.”

“That may be possible. Because you think Korea is more attractive than Japan?”

“Tsk. Then you just came to see the sea.”

It’s not bad.

I was just wondering if I might find a devil on the way, but I’m just sorry that wasn’t the case.

“I thought it was time for at least one to come out.”

“Of course. Didn’t he just disappear without a word? Or maybe the demon you already killed turns out to be the demon of Pandemonium.”

“……That can’t be possible.”

Is there one?

“If you are dead, I wish you would tell me that you are dead.”

“…How do you say that? It’s not like he dies and appears as a ghost. Isn’t that actually scarier?”

“Because I am a person who thinks living people are more scary than dead ghosts. Slowly, get ready to get off.”

Shoot!

The floor slowly rose, and I stretched out the whiskers on the front of the submarine and scanned the surroundings with the external camera.

“No one. Perfect for landing.”

“Can I open the lid and go outside now?”

“Uh.”

“Wow!”

Ymir immediately jumped towards the ceiling and opened the door leading outside.

What comes in is sunlight, not sea water.

“Go up?”

“…be careless.”

“If I thought I was going to get caught in the first place, I wouldn’t have come out.”

“……Well, if it’s just about looking at the scenery together.”

I held Baek Seol-hee on my waist and jumped up.

“Wow-ah!”

Ymir was already excited to see the beach, and Baek Sul-hee, who came out of the submarine, also looked at the Japanese coast, which was similar but different from Korea.

“…I never thought that my first time abroad was illegal entry.”

“Oh my, is it true? Sister?”

“Okay. How could an S-class person go overseas carelessly?”

Baek Seol-hee smiled bitterly, but at the same time smiled gently, brushing her hair that was blowing in the wind.

“Good. When I go abroad, I definitely understand the difference in the air.”

“What does it feel like?”

“…Somehow, it feels more like natural air?”

“I guess so.”

Because the land is not the only place where Hwan’s will resides.

Since mana is also floating around in the air, the feel of the air that a person with special abilities breathes is bound to be different.

“Yu Intern. Release the barrier.”

“Yes. Are you going to get rid of it right away?”

“It’s not about getting rid of it, it’s about changing it.”

As soon as Ymir retrieved the mana from the surface of the submarine, I immediately took out my goblin bat and hit the submarine.

“It’s been a long time since I came to Japan, so I should drive along the national highway and see the mountains and buildings.”

Ah.

The status of the carp king.

Coo coo coo.

The submarine anchored on the beach began to open left and right like a gourd.

And inside the submarine, a black sedan glided forward and onto the beach.

“Ah.”

Baek Seol-hee was startled and sprinkled mana under the wheels of the car.

The car, which was about to hit the sand, skidded on the frozen road and succeeded in getting out of the way to the sidewalk block.

“…I heard that if I use this ability, other people will catch it?”

“They say that men hate sand getting into the wheels the most…?”

“Even if it’s not necessarily men, anyone with a car will do that. Thank you, Seolhee.”

I took out my car keys from my pocket and pressed them toward the submarine.

Beep beep.

As soon as it received the mana signal, the submarine returned to its original form and disappeared into the sea.

“Teacher, is it okay for me to send it like that by myself?”

“It’s a state-of-the-art submarine made by the organization. With autonomous driving, you will go where you need to be.”

“Where do you need to be?”

“Sejong Island.”

It’s only summer vacation, and there are still two semesters left.

“The academy is not over yet. Now it’s just…”

“Just?“

“Just enjoying summer.”

okay.

“It’s beautiful.”

This is the start of a true summer event.
