There are many ways to attack Japan.

In most modern fantasy novels, attacking Japan in order to maximize the soup has become a kind of cliche.

-An S-class monster has appeared! Our strength is not enough!

-Ugh, Chicksho! Are you saying we should ask the Koreans for help?

-Otherwise we will all die!

-shit…!

A major danger has arisen in Japan and only the protagonist can solve it.

-Watashi pledges to dedicate his body and soul to Kim Seong-deok!

-Eh, I’m here!!

Or that the Japanese heroine falls in love with and becomes obsessed with the Korean protagonist.

-What if Admiral Yi Sun-sin had not died in the Battle of Noryang?

-It’s a counterattack on the Japanese mainland!! What?! The Ming Dynasty are betraying?!

-I’ll show you the power of Joseon! Smash everything!!

In alternative history works – especially those set during the Japanese invasions of Korea – Joseon’s counterattack takes place.

There are various ways, but at least in this world, the direction is quite scary.

This world where Gukppong Light Novel and Hwan’s will come together.

All of these things can come together to form something new, or something even more sinister.

From Japan’s perspective.

“Japan’s arbitrary destruction.”

That is, Japan is opening the gates of hell and running towards its own destruction.

Japan is being attacked not by attacks from other countries or natural disasters, but by Japan itself, which is bringing about its own destruction.

“If the elderly are socially murdered through euthanasia, who will be next? Disabled? Sexual impotence? People who can’t give birth to people with special abilities? Or those who can’t even pay taxes?”

That is the case now.

“It’s because the weak people on the gallows right now are the elderly, so I don’t know who will be next. In the end, only the government personnel or the socially strong will remain.”

“…….”

“Should we say that the situation is better in Korea?”

“I don’t think there will be any difference in particular.”

Ymir carefully opened his mouth while looking at Baek Seol-hee’s eyes.

“Coming from Canada, from what I see, isn’t there a similar disdain for the weak all over the world?”

“But in Korea, they don’t try to socially kill the elderly.”

“Why?”

“There is a political problem with that…”

“Because the supporters of the current government and the ruling party are seniors.”

“Ah!”

Hearing Baek Seol-hee’s words, Ymir opened his eyes wide and clapped his hands.

“Although more than half of the younger generation supports the current government, more than 70% of seniors support the current president and the ruling party.”

“There is no way they would pass a euthanasia permit law against their supporters… Uh, then Japan…?”

“It’s the opposite.”

Nadeshiko peeled the tangerine peels that were on the table and stretched them out like a snake.

“Seniors over the age of 80 are the generation that knows the horrors of war. And the current government receives strong support from the younger generation, those born before and after the cataclysm. And as time goes by, the number of seniors is decreasing.”

“In other words, it is not a support base…”

“Even if we cut it out boldly, there are many people who support it, so the government will not be taken away, so let’s try it boldly. It also creates a social atmosphere.”

The first weakling climbs the gallows and disappears.

As the weak disappear one by one, humans will find another weak.

And when people die and disappear one by one, it is only when they are on the gallows that they realize that they too can be made weak by someone.

Being socially underprivileged is ultimately a relative matter.

“If this continues, there will no longer be heroes like Rider. Heroes protect the weak, but the government is killing the weak one by one.”

“Rather, the number of villains will increase. Especially if the weak being eliminated by the state becomes one’s own family.”

“In such an ordinary world, people who would be active as heroes could end up in a world where the government turns them into villains.”

What defines villains is society.

“For example, let’s say there is an A-level talented person who grew up in the countryside with his parents and an 80-year-old man. However, people around us are trying to kill the elderly using euthanasia. Then what would that talented person do?”

“…Of course you will try to save it.”

“Okay. And if you usually watch shonen cartoons or animations…”

“Usually, the death of the elderly person brings about the awakening of the person with superpowers. Then you become a villain.”

Nadeshiko got what I said exactly.

“A revenge ghost or something like that.

“…….”

“If that happens countless times, Japan will be destroyed. Naturally. …and it’s not just the government.”

Nadeshiko handed the prepared paper materials in front of us.

“The government is trying to weed out the elderly like the government, and heroes are losing their minds like heroes. So do I, and so do other heroes.”

“In such a case, you have to keep your eyes open and watch the country do something like this…?”

“Yes.”

Someone talks.

Why do heroes stay still?

Why don’t heroes try to change this rotten world?

‘That’s right, because you’re young.’

No matter how old they are, they are only 25 years old.

‘There is also distrust of adults.’

Even for people with special abilities, there are things about politics that are relatively difficult for them, but it is difficult to easily trust other adults when distrust toward adults who created such a world is already rampant.

In the end, like a talented person, he would choose the easiest way to solve the problem.

“Ymir. When you see something like this, if there are two solutions, which one would you choose?”

“What is it?”

“One is for you to become president. Another thing is to just erase this world.”

“Um….”

Ymir thought for a moment.

“As expected, aren’t you worried?”

“There is only one choice, but I am worried about the method.”

“How?”

“…What is the cleanest way to erase it? Ice age? Asteroid collision?”

“…….”

A way to erase the Earth.

“Teacher. Are you saying that someone other than me is thinking these thoughts?”

“Okay. Nadeshiko?”

“This person is thinking about that.”

fluttering.

In the paper data, a young man appeared.

“Isn’t this person a blue comet?”

“That’s right. Very dangerous S-class.”

The printed paper materials were full of information about a young man with blue hair.

” Baek Seol-hee. Who will win if you and the blue comet fight?”

“I win.”

“Then how do you compare with the kids below you?”

“…It’s ambiguous.”

Blue Comet – Hereafter ‘Blue Comet’ is organized along the lines of Baek Seol-hee.

” Commitment, I think I will lose.”

But for those below that line, the Blue Comet can win them all.

“If Cheong Hye-seong comes to Korea, she probably will take the 3rd place in the S class right away.”

“Okay. If other S-classes are similar to Armored Taejo or one level above, Cheong Hye-seong is exactly in that position.”

Below the untouchable Gwangikkong, Baek Seol-hee, the highest of the heavens.

And right below it is Cheonghyetseong.

“If such a person decides to destroy Japan, what will happen to Japan?”

“Why does a hero want to sink a country, especially his own country?”

“Of course he did this.”

Next to Cheong Hye-seong’s data, another paper data contains data on the ‘Euthanasia Permission Act for Ages 80 and Older’.

“The government is doing this to the elderly in their own country, so how can there be a law that says heroes should not be mentally unstable?”

“But he’s a hero…”

“He behaves like this more because he is a hero.”

I understand how you feel about doing something like this.

“Heroes do not always act for the justice of the country. If you think that your actions are right, if you think that it is justice, you can become a so-called ‘idiot with beliefs’.”

“That sounds like a very scary thing, right?”

“Because you think that the act of sinking Japan is ‘justice’ and act accordingly.”

“……I think we need to stop it.”

Ymir listened to the two materials in front of him at the same time.

“We need to stop society from trying to kill the elderly, and we need to stop the Blue Comet from running away. How are you trying to kill all of Japan…”

“No. I’m not trying to kill you. Cheong Hye-seong does not wish to be exterminated.”

“You are not trying to kill the land by sinking it…? What is that?”

“You wouldn’t know if sinking happens in just 1 second, but if you disappear within enough time to evacuate, the ground will just sink.”

I took out the goblin bat and created a panorama with mana on the table.

“It’s the Japanese archipelago.”

A bird’s eye view of the Japanese archipelago unfolds, similar to a hologram, and the Korean Peninsula is visible next to it.

“Nadeshiko. Do you have any guesses about Cheong Hye-seong’s plans?”

“No. I have no idea about that yet. That’s why I asked the goblin for support. First of all, I don’t know what the plan is…”

Nadeshiko took out another piece of paper and handed it to us.

“I know for sure that it is a metal that can contain magical power, and that if it falls into the Blue Comet, something very big will happen.”

If you have enough mana, sinking an archipelago with this ability is no problem.

“Do you know Managold?”

“To some extent. I may not be a person of integrity, but I also have ears to some extent.”

“Where on earth did you get that information…”

“…huh.”

Nadeshiko looked at Baek Seol-hee and smiled triumphantly.

“The government is planning to publicly announce a metal imbued with mana. I guess the information has not been passed on to Baek Seol-hee?”

“I know. But how do you know that?”

“Well, I heard that Korea will soon unveil a new weapon on a certain date. With intelligence.”

“Ha.”

Baek Seol-hee covered her face with her hands.

Beneath his hands, his distorted eyes showed a slight annoyance.

“It leaked from the government.”

“You may have been secretly preparing something before, but if the government is preparing it as an official event, it’s not a big deal for it to leak to my ears, right?”

“So, it will be officially announced soon…?”

“That’s right.”

Everyone will know.

The existence of Managold.

“When is it?”

“Liberation Day.”

“Oh.”

The biggest blow that Korea can throw at Japan is taffy.

“They say they will release Managold to the world on August 15th.”
