Everyone has secrets that are difficult to share, and at times, those secrets cannot be shared with anyone.

However, no matter how secret it is, you cannot suffer with it for the rest of your life.

If you can avoid causing harm by disclosing the secret within a reasonable amount of time, you won’t be shouting in the bamboo forest that the king’s ears are donkey ears, but you will confess it to someone.

If there is a target, who is it?

It’s family.

“So, everything you’ve done as Armored King Taejo so far has been an act, and you’ve been handling the country’s dirty work while pretending to be Jammin?”

“Yes.”

President Tae Chae-jin revealed the truth(?) to Tae-ilin, who had a pale and stiff face.

“I’m sorry for telling you so late. But Taejo himself did not want to say that.”

“…….”

“If you want to deceive the enemy, first deceive your allies. There is a saying like that.”

“Ah, I think I know what it is.”

Taeyrin calmly nodded.

“If you ask me if it’s shocking… I don’t think it’s that shocking or anything like that. Rather, I feel like it went well?”

“Huh?”

“What my only twin brother showed at the press conference was all an act for ‘justice’.”

Taylin smiled warmly and placed her hand on her chest.

“He acted so thoroughly that he deceived even himself and even fooled his twin brother. You must have been going through a lot of trouble during this time, and I feel really sorry for saying something to you.”

“Irin, that.”

“I will meet you in person later and apologize. You’ve been mean all this time. People said that I wasn’t worthy of a hero, but I was living more like a hero than anyone else in the world.”

“……Better than I expected, hmmm, you’re taking it more calmly than I was worried about.”

Tae Chae-jin lay down on the chair with a relieved face.

“I thought you would be greatly shocked. I guess there is an image that King Taejo had always built up.”

“It’s okay. Something happened recently that shocked me even more than that.”

“What?”

Tae Chae-jin suddenly stood up.

“Who are you? What kind of guy are you?”

“…….”

“Can you tell me? Is it possible that someone is hiding their identity again, or that it turns out that they are heroes or something like that?”

“…….”

Taeyrin crossed her arms and tilted her head.

She seemed to be contemplating whether to say it clearly, but she immediately shook her head resolutely.

“I’m sorry. That’s hard to say.”

“Not to me, but to your brother?”

“Yes. What if it’s a black bird that cooperates with the organization? Rather…”

That’s why I have to keep it a secret from my grandfather.

“…Because the information I know could end up in danger.”

Taeyrin barely swallowed those words and reassured her grandfather with another word.

“Grandpa, then, has nothing to do with this incident?”

“…Taejo said so. He said that the organization had requested his cooperation. He said that even if the organization makes a mistake and you are no longer able to join the organization, you should boldly abandon yourself.”

“That’s….”

“Fortunately, nothing like that happened. It will continue to be like that in the future. And even if that happens…”

Tae Chae-jin tapped the mother-of-pearl nameplate in front of her table with her hand.

“You should quit being president.”

“Grandpa.”

“It’s okay. Even in the worst case, you could end up in prison for a few years.”

“Don’t say such nonsense. Why is my grandfather in jail?”

“Isn’t it politics that you can stumble over anything you try to stumble upon? Especially in a situation like now where a tacit alliance has been formed.”

Tae Chae-jin pointed to the documents on the table with a serious face.

“This time, starting with the Red Cross, they plan to conduct a thorough investigation of private organizations and even people from the Ministry of Health and Welfare. I plan to send all those who took bribes from Haegeun and participated in blood selling to jail.”

“…It’s a murder department.”

“Yes.”

The documents were full of personal information about some people.

“Those who accepted bribes or kickbacks from Haegeuneul will be framed as an international blood-selling crime and all will be eliminated.”

The data was full of suspicious financial flows, and most of them had assets far exceeding the income reported to the Internal Revenue Service.

“As long as we have a cause, all we have to do is hold the sword and swing it. Even if the execution site was prepared by the organization.”

“…….”

“Rather, if you don’t do that, you won’t act like this next time, even in association. A citizen police officer catches a thief and throws him into a police box. If the police station manager releases the thief’s handcuffs and gives him taxi money to get home safely, can the citizen police trust the police station?”

“The scale narrowed in an instant. But citizen police? Grandfather, perhaps.”

“…Well, I’m saying this as a human Tae Chae-jin. Don’t worry too much. Are you going to report this extra expense?”

Tae Chae-jin shrugged his shoulders and joked.

“Then prepare your mind. Because resignation would be better than impeachment.”

“I don’t say things like that. Even if everyone in the world says that…”

Taeyrin clenched her fists and continued speaking.

“Because we are family. If our family isn’t on our side, who will be on our side? And rest assured, Grandpa. I…”

Taeyrin wiggled her hands and cautiously opened her mouth.

“Even if it means sacrificing myself, I will definitely protect my grandfather and brother.”

“…are you…”

Tae Chae-jin approached Tae-ilin with a serious face.

“Do you find a guy you like?”

“…….”

“Right?”

“……No.”

no matter how.

“And even if it was there, would you be able to tell that to your grandfather? My grandfather will probably try to tie me up with that person somehow.”

“……Isn’t that right?”

“Yes. If I fall in love with someone, I will tell my grandfather first.”

sometimes.

Even if you are a family member, there are always secrets that you want to hide.

“It’s been a while, sister. I never thought I would meet an adulterous woman like this as a concubine.”

“…….”

living room.

Castella, which had been baked for a long time, was steaming on the table, but the heat from the castella was gradually fading away.

“As soon as we meet, are you telling me that you are an adulterous woman?”

“It’s not wrong.”

“Hey, you…Hyeon Se-rin.”

Baek Seol-hee sharpened her teeth and pointed at Hyeon Se-rin with her index finger.

“Are you saying this because I didn’t lend you the table?”

“Sister. Do you think I’m acting like this because I’m not Mir and I’m blocking you from being patriotic?”

“Why are sparks flying at me?”

Ymir, who was still, was hit by a ricochet, but I lightly ignored the look of salvation that Ymir gave me and placed the coffee in front of the three of us.

“Thank you. But it seems like you picked your tastes even before putting it down?”

“No matter what, you should upload it according to your boss’ taste.”

“You’re not the boss.”

“In terms of rank, you are a superior, so it is not really wrong.”

Hyun Se-rin raised her thumbs at me and held her coffee with both hands.

“Wow, look at you acting cute. At the scene, he drank a single shot of a 500mL water bottle and then crushed the plastic bottle and threw it.”

“Sister. Can I tell you about the time I fought with you in Gyeongju over there?”

“Even if I talk about that, it doesn’t really matter because I’m not particularly ugly, right? And Ji-hwan knows everything, right?”

“…….”

I drank my share of coffee in silence.

“What is it? why? Why are you so anxious?”

“Actually, my memories of the past are not complete.”

“…Why are you trying to make another strange drip?”

“I guess my brain melted because I used this ability too much, and there was a hole in my memory. It’s not a joke?”

It seems like a forced setting to add plausibility to the setting of the possessed person, but considering that the original work of this world is a Gukpponglan novel, there is no big problem.

“So, when I talk about the past, I have a hard time remembering it. Especially things that happened a year or more ago.”

Even if you do research accurately, you will hardly know anything unless it is trivial or something you have to look up like researching a paper.

‘It felt like studying modern history.’

After 2000, the history of this world is just the last chapter of a Korean history textbook to me.

All of the history that I have felt and lived through has been erased and in its place have been replaced by supernatural abilities and sunshades, so how can I study and remember all of that history?

I’m sure you remember.

However, there is buffering in bringing it out right away according to the situation and context.

Or you can’t find it at all.

“It’s okay. No matter what the two of you fought about, we will all become ‘family’ now.”

“Is it the mafia?”

“We become one in the sense of being a real family.”

This is a story about a time when a group of people uprooted Sunshade from the land of this country, the Korean Peninsula.

“If something goes wrong later, Hyeon Se-rin, you may have to give birth.”

“Ugh.”

“What is this? …Serin, why are you looking at Seolhee with that expression?”

“Hey, Manager Do Ji-hwan.”

Se-rin Hyun raised her hand to me, giving her first name, last name, and title, as well as honorifics.

“It’s okay to be born as Ymir’s daughter and become a patriotic warrior, so please refrain from being this sister’s daughter, right?”

“Hey. What’s wrong with my daughter? I have no intention of raising my daughter to be a girl like you, right?”

“I also plan to tell my nephew not to grow up like my sister.”

“…….”

I’m not particularly interested in how the two fought, but I’m sure they’ll reconcile after they eat together at least once.

For sure.

“Teacher.”

Ymir is across from me, carefully calling out to me from between the two of us.

“Aren’t we going to be patriotic?”

“If I want to, I will, but at least not right now.”

I took out an object.

“If you can, wouldn’t it be better to install a new battery? Serin and me too.”

Faded gold ornaments.

“Give the old Managold to Taejo, and let’s go get new Managold.”

“…Is it Mana Gold that is empty of mana?”

“If you plant it in the ground, the mana will replenish over time, so until then, just get a new one and use it.”

Instead of a relic that has run out of mana, you receive a ‘new item’ from Taejo.

“Is Taejo a toad?”

“Yes.”

It’s a toad.

“I also taught you how to use an external core, but you should do that, right?”
