Chapter Index

    “As expected, he is a goblin.”

    Cheong Hye-seong, Japan’s S-class No. 1 who came to the Comic Market dressed as a woman as a maid, calmly looked ahead and opened her mouth.

    “I never thought people would notice this disguise. I tried to hide it as best as I could, but I didn’t think people would really notice.”

    [I had a bit of trouble finding it.]

    If Comet Cheong had moved alone, it would not have been found.

    However, I was able to reach this point thanks to receiving information from someone other than Cheong Hye-seong.

    [Don’t you think there are elements worth noting?]

    “…….”

    Cheong Hye-seong nodded silently.

    It is senseless to ask ‘what is that?’

    “Well, I guess there’s no need to argue. Because you knew everything.”

    [I don’t know everything. I only know what I know.]

    “That’s usually said by someone who got 99 points on a 100-point test.”

    [It’s not 100 points anyway.]

    Now that they have already figured out each other’s identities, the important thing is what to do about what happens next.

    [The plan, the idea was interesting. They’re going to explode a water bomb over the city. Where did you get that idea?]

    “What Goblin is interested in is not the source of the idea, but where it will come from. …Isn’t that the place?”

    [I know you well. Do you want to answer?]

    “Not at all. I didn’t ask, so why not find out for yourself?”

    Cheong Hye-seong twists the corner of her mouth.

    “If you can, try to stop it. If only we could stop it.”

    [What if I attack you here and stop you?]

    “Really? Will the goblin be safe after attacking Japan’s number one S-class hero? If you attack me, you’ll have to deal with all of Japan’s S-class. Because he is a villain who attacked the hero for an unfair reason.”

    There is no reason to attack Hye-seong Cheong right now.

    [What if you said you would announce your plan to the world?]

    “That’s right. That’s unprofessional. What is the guarantee that I will realize that plan?”

    […….]

    “Isn’t this just a delusion floating around on the internet? In that case, it would be more realistic for a Korean fighter over there to suddenly shoot a beam at the sun and then destroy the sun, destroying the universe.”

    [It’s unrealistic.]

    The sun is too much.

    [Maybe it’s the moon.]

    A Gwangyukgong in his prime would definitely be able to destroy the moon hanging in the sky.

    [Even if you are exposed, will you act like a fool?]

    “How can it be possible for Japan’s number one hero to sink the Japanese archipelago on his own? Oh, perhaps a goblin is someone who judges things that haven’t happened yet?”

    [If the murderer is holding a gun and putting his index finger on the trigger, he must be subdued immediately.]

    “I don’t think I’m at that stage yet.”

    It is just as Cheong Hye-seong said.

    “There are quite a few police officers in movies who return their badges after being found to have attacked innocent citizens, right?”

    [I am neither a police officer nor a hero. In this place-]

    “If I am suddenly attacked or faint.”

    Cheong Hye-seong leisurely raised her head.

    “Somewhere will sink as it is.”

    […….]

    “Why? Do you want to give it a try?”

    [The hero threatens the villain…? And against innocent citizens?]

    “How about changing your position? Isn’t it fun? The hero is trying to destroy this country, and the villain is trying to protect it, too. There is no irony.”

    thud.

    “I wish you could help me.”

    Cheong Hye-seong lowered her head forward and hit her forehead on the glass.

    “If the goblin and the group help me, my plan will become even more certain. I don’t think it’s a particularly bad offer for a Korean goblin.”

    [Japan sinking?]

    “If Japan falls, won’t Korea welcome it with open arms? Or you can say that it’s none of my business whether Japan collapses or not.”

    [well.]

    Let me give you a slightly villainous rebuttal.

    [I wish Japan existed.]

    “Huh, why?”

    [Well, I want you to always remain a loser who lost to Korea.]

    I would retort, “For the sake of soup.”

    [No one in Korea would want Japan to truly fall. They will be happy to hear people complaining that Japan is falling, and they will not want Japanese people to cross the sea and enter the Korean Peninsula because of that.]

    “…….”

    [It is similar to the disaster apocalypse. It’s okay if my village doesn’t have any problems even if a horde of zombies infests it, but if another village is attacked by zombies and the survivors come to my village, I don’t want them to.]

    Such is the nature of human psychology.

    [Is Japan going to collapse? Yeah, it’s none of my business whether I fail or not. However, your method is extremely tiring for me, the organization, and Korea.]

    “What is my method?”

    [It’s the actions of a brat who wants to ruin the country but doesn’t want to kill people, who wants to destroy the system but doesn’t want to take responsibility.]

    “Baby….”

    Although he poured out insults to her face, Cheong Hye-seong just laughed.

    “Then, try stopping that brat.”

    […….]

    “I will act according to what I believe. This country must be destroyed. That’s the conclusion I came to.”

    [The reason is?]

    “Reason? Ha, I could name over a hundred, but…”

    Cheong Hye-seong corrected her posture and turned around.

    “This country is a mess, so I am trying to destroy it.”

    * * *

    “Hmm.”

    ‘Gu Cheong-yeon’, a man wearing glasses, put down the paper bag in both hands on the floor and sat down on the bench.

    “It’s a fun place, really.”

    While looking at the people passing by, he tapped his Taegeuk watch.

    “Ah. This is Bibi. Plan submission completed. We plan to move to retrieve the ‘item’ soon.”

    […receipt.]

    The voice of the person being contacted was a modulated voice.

    [Is the situation on site okay?]

    The gender of the ambiguous voice, as if it were a girl, a woman, or a man, was unknown, but it was a voice that worried about ‘two’.

    [I can’t contact the traveler.]

    “Ah, he must be thinking about where and how to cause terrorism in Japan again.”

    [Still, it’s strange that I haven’t been able to contact you until now.]

    “Well, it doesn’t matter, right? In the first place, the role of a traveler was…”

    [you.]

    “What’s wrong? I was originally supposed to come alone, but he insisted that he would come along. When I said I would use it at my convenience, I said ok, it was me.”

    Gu Qingyeon giggled and turned her attention to the doujinshi in her bag.

    “You are good at thinking about how you can benefit the country. When you become a refugee, you need to prepare in advance. To peel and eat.”

    [Words and actions….]

    “Ah, that’s it. They say they look like hip hop, but they are worse than Confucian oldies.”

    […….]

    “There is no problem here. I’ll complete my mission and return safely, so when I get back, I want you to arrange for a good galbitang restaurant.”

    […So traveler, let’s find it. more.]

    Pop.

    The phone was disconnected.

    “Wow.”

    Gu Qingyan laughed and closed the Taegeuk watch.

    “It’s not like taking care of a child left at the water’s edge. If you think about it, she’s not older than you. Even though he looks and acts like a child, he is not responsible for anything like a child. Tsk tsk.”

    “Hey….”

    “Hmm?”

    A plain-looking long-haired woman approached Gu Cheong-yeon cautiously.

    “Hey, are you Korean?”

    “…Yes. That’s right.”

    “Wow! Hey, maybe…”

    The woman played with her smartphone and straightened her posture as if showing great courage.

    “Me, would you like to exchange emails?!”

    “……Email?”

    “Oh, no! Well, we exchanged numbers…!”

    “Ah. Well, exchange is different between Japan and Korea. But I’m sorry. Because I have company.”

    “Well, then with that group…”

    The woman brought her hand to her mouth and twitched lightly, as if she would not back down.

    “Would you like to have a drink together?”

    “……I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in Japanese women.”

    “Ah…!”

    Gu Qingyan left the place with a straight face.

    “…! Among Koreans…! They say Korean men only want to date Korean women…! Why did you come to Japan!!”

    “Sumimasen.”

    “Ahh!!”

    He gathered his bag, gave a disdainful look at the angry woman behind him, and stopped only when he reached a corner away from the others.

    “Correction. It’s not that I’m not interested in Japanese women…”

    Sreuk.

    The photo taken out by opening Taegeuk Watch’s gallery app showed the back of a maid with short black hair.

    “……Heh.”

    Gu Cheong-yeon, who was fiddling with the photo while taking a nap, continued to swipe the screen with her thumb, moving her feet here and there for no reason and leaning her butt against the wall.

    “Okay. Interested in… um?”

    Slur.

    A shadow fell to the side.

    Gu Cheong-yeon frowned at the mysterious man in a suit who approached without any sound or presence.

    “Who are you?”

    As I approached, I looked at the face and body of the man in the suit and corrected my posture.

    “Do you know me?”

    “Question.”

    “…Huh?”

    “Man. interest. Presence/absence.”

    The man with an expressionless face pointed to the photo.

    “Same sex. Crush. Dear.”

    “…I don’t know what it is, but I think you’re like this too.”

    Gu Cheong-yeon drew an ‘S’ with her finger and gulped.

    “Is this a strange concept, or is it the price of using this ability? Or use a translator to speak. Is this a beginner’s Korean class?”

    “Wish.”

    The man pointed to the maid in the photo.

    “Hope. resentment. Realization.”

    “…What, are you going to grant my wish?”

    “Affirmative.”

    The expressionless man’s face slowly brightened.

    Light slowly began to twinkle in the dead eyes of the man in the suit, as if to say, ‘We have finally succeeded in communicating.’

    “Hmm… So, first place in the lottery?”

    “Negative.”

    At Gu Qingyan’s words, the man firmly shook his head.

    “True intention. lie. truth. Answer.”

    “…Oh, well, that’s not the truth I wanted?”

    “Affirmative.”

    “Then…. This is a real secret.”

    Gu Qingyan pursed her tongue and took out one of the booklets in her bag.

    “Can this ability be created? Huh?”

    “……Confirm.”

    Sigh.

    The man in the suit stretched out his hand towards Gu Chengyan.

    “The wish is. It was done.”

    Those hands are like furry monkeys-
