Patriotic train engine room, Ymir’s room. Temporary conference hall.

“Ready!”

Inside the conference room set up by Ymir in his train driver uniform.

I sat at the head of the table, and there was room for only four people to my left and right.

“Current number of participants. Ymir. Do Ji-hwan. Yoon I-seon. Lee Ye-ryeong. Seong Ji-eun. That’s it, the report is over!”

“What can I see?”

A total of five people gathered in the conference room.

Others are raising children, are pregnant, or have to wait to protect the patriotic train.

In other words, these four people are the ones who can move together like Kim Yun-ji, the emperor who was active in Japan, and move into foreign activities in earnest during this trip to China.

especially.

“Me and Ji-eun will go in as backup, and Ye-ryeong and Lee Seon will accompany my brother. This is the leader’s appointment!”

It was decided that Yoon I-seon and Lee Ye-ryeong would be the people who would act with me on set as face-to-face madams.

“…Me myself?”

“Yes.”

“From the Chinese party’s point of view, I have betrayed the country twice?”

“Yes.”

“…Am I being punished right now? Is that so?”

“That can’t be possible.”

Even if Cheonma became a Korean hero again in China, China cannot openly argue with Cheonma.

“There were no problems with the contract, right? The ‘one-year contract’ was concluded normally through an amicable agreement between the two parties.”

“Yes, I did it.”

“World Cup semifinals. Excluding America’s Goblins and Riders, China was in fact able to save face by coming in third place. They may have hoped to win, but that’s a matter of their own skills.”

Using a one-year contract as a mercenary, I reached the semifinals at the world competition.

If you think of it as a country, it is right after America and Korea, so there is no problem in holding your head high in front of other countries.

“The Hell Shipbuilding problem was also well resolved.”

“…For the Central Party, the alliance was a real benefactor. In return for that, I was able to cancel the contract.”

In terminating Cheonma’s contract, resolving the Hell Joseon incident was truly a big issue.

No matter how large the population was, accepting 10 million refugees would have been extremely difficult for the Chinese authorities.

Even though it may have been mouth-watering because there were so many talented people among those 10 million refugees, it was a number that the party could not possibly handle.

After all, the leaders of Hell Joseon were the ones who had the radical idea that if they came to earth first, they would ‘overthrow everything starting with China.’

“With Yangjiro, we advanced to the semifinals in the national competition, and with Eumjiro, we suppressed the subversive forces and rebels. If you go into detail…”

“Out of the 5 trillion won, except for about 200 billion won for living expenses and maintenance of dignity, in fact, the rest was officially returned, so there was no case to be caught.”

“…The actual items that my parents bought at random have now become the property of the state.”

Lee Ye-ryeong blushed and scratched her cheek.

I wonder if the amount Lee Ye-ryeong actually spent was 2 billion won.

The remaining 99% was all about her family enjoying the luxury of buying land, houses, and treasures in China, but it was all real estate, regardless of the price, so it was not returned to the state.

The actual amount of money spent on eating and drinking was, well, an amount that could have been fully covered by the association.

“Now that I think about it, Ye-ryeong. Where is the family now…?”

“Do you know the Solomon Islands? You are there now.”

“……Where is it?”

“It’s roughly an island. Take the Paygreen private plane and stay there.”

“…It’s not exile, right?”

“Well.”

Lee Ye-ryeong, who was smiling calmly, still had a shy expression on her face, but a cool smile was slightly hanging at the corner of her mouth, as if she had gotten rid of something uncomfortable.

“They say that there are times when family holds you back…”

“It’s okay. That’s what happened in China, and now I can’t even leave the Solomon Islands. Enjoy yourself on the island.”

“You’re not going to start a public opinion war, are you?”

“An employee who worked at a pension in Ulleungdo was sent there. We hired her and other local mansion managers, so she won’t be able to leave without permission. People with A-level abilities who admire the Heavenly Demon also live nearby.”

“No matter how I think about it, it seems like house arrest.”

“…At least from now on I won’t embarrass my daughter. I spent a lot of money everywhere I went. Oh my god, it’s not like some rich guy is throwing around gold coins in a web novel.”

“Ah, ahaha. It was captured properly.”

“Heung.”

They decided to take on the stigma of traitors in order to protect their families, but it seems they were too absorbed in the warm honey water showered on them by the Chinese authorities.

“And now it’s okay. If I tell them that I rode the patriotic train, my family will be more careful.”

“Why?”

“If the goblin had just said, ‘Cheonma is fine, but Cheonma’s family is a bit much’, overconsumption would have been reduced by 90% right away, right?”

“…….”

“It’s a pity they are people, but they are snobbish. Because we are family, we can talk more clearly. Well, I can feel at ease now thanks to the association.”

Cheonma, liberated from the confines of her family, is now truly free.

“It is now possible to meet men without any interference, and to wander around late at night. Is it okay to drink with a man and sleep overnight?”

“Why are you looking at me so blatantly?”

“Nadeshiko, did you have a slight limp when riding the patriotic train?”

“…You have a good sense of vision. Well, don’t deny it.”

“Heung. It’s amazing what I notice.”

The Heavenly Demon clenches its chin and shakes.

“In that sense, if you have any thoughts, please let me know. I didn’t get on this train without any preparation.”

“I put you on this train with that intention in the first place?”

“Hey. Is it because I became a father? I feel more relaxed than the last time we met.”

“Gwangikong won. I ate first in the world. I got permission and I don’t have to blush at the train passengers, so there’s no problem at all.”

I’m serious.

“…Well, if I think of it, I’ll suggest it. If you have any thoughts, please suggest. Instead.”

“Instead?”

“Please control the mood. I don’t know about anything else, but I’ve suffered a lot from Chinese talented people.”

The Heavenly Demon frowned as if just thinking about it made him irritated.

“Anyway, the down payment was 5 trillion won, and since I traveled all over China, there were a lot of places to eat here and there?”

“You must have met a lot of men there.”

“It was clearly a meal held at the administrative district level, but what if a man suddenly came out during lunch and said, ‘Please give birth to my child?’”

“Is he a villain?”

“Unfortunately, he is a normal person. He’s so desperate and rational, but he’s an idiot who doesn’t know how to talk back.”

“It’s a shame.”

If only he had been executed, he could have been ZenLosed for the rest of his life, but that’s not the case.

“There were really many cases like that after that. But among them, there were about 1 or 2 out of 10 who said something like that out of lust for me?”

“…Nine out of ten, are you saying that the real goal was ‘children’?”

“Okay. It’s Mir. What do you think?”

“What do you think? It’s not like we just see women as baby-making machines. How can you allow your body and mind to deal with a man like that?”

“That’s right. Of course, even if I had harbored some dark intentions, I would have refused, but the Chinese authorities were so desperate that they had to do so. Why? Since the cataclysm, the control of the Chinese authorities has gradually decreased over the years.”

In earnest, Cheonma is about to start talking about politics.

“I will clearly mention this first and talk about it. The Chinese Central Party is currently the weakest. To put it a little extreme, it’s like a country during the era of the Mang Tak Dynasty.”

“…….”

Most of those gathered in the conference hall did not understand the parable of Lee Ye-ryeong, the Heavenly Demon.

“…Mangtakjoui, don’t you know?”

And I had a hunch.

Before talking about politics, there is a clear difference between Lee Ye-ryeong and others.

“Jieun unnie. You know, right?”

“…Just because I’m older doesn’t mean I know everything.”

If this problem is not resolved, the teamwork of these four people will be ruined.

“Hey, didn’t you all read Romance of the Three Kingdoms when you were young?”

“I know the Samguk Yusa.”

“I know Samguk sagi too!”

“…These soup lovers.”

As soon as you hear the word ‘Three Kingdoms’, monk Ilyeon and Kim Bu-sik immediately come to mind.

“Don’t you know about the appointment?”

“There is no use in telling them such things.”

When I was a child, the books on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that probably existed in the school library were all filled with books about the Three Kingdoms period in Korea.

“In Korea, Gwanchang is more widely known than Gwanwoo.”

“……Lee Seon-ah. Do you know Guan Yu?”

“I know. He’s a general in history that serves as the background for the second Peach Sisters. It is said that the Chinese deify…”

“Then, don’t you know about the story that Guan Yu just wielded the 82-geun long blue dragon sword, did the Five Guan Yukcham, and at the end, while performing the Oksai at the Beonjeon, his head was cut off by the hand attack, and that Lu Meng died of exhaustion due to Guan Yu’s vengeful spirit?”

“…….”

“Wait a minute. Why am I becoming more and more like a person who spreads otaku knowledge?”

The Heavenly Demon is in confusion, pulling out his head.

“You probably know at least the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!”

“I’m sorry, Lee Ye-ryeong.”

This can be said clearly.

“You are unique. It is common sense for most Koreans, especially those born after King Gat Hwan-guk’s reign, to think of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla when they think of the Three Kingdoms.”

Because that’s how I learned it.

From a young age, I was able to memorize the Samguk Yusa and the Samguk Sagi through Gukbbong education, and I learned countless times through regular curriculum as well as learning comics.

“Give up. Romance of the Three Kingdoms otaku.”

“Ugh, uh….”

“Well. I guess that’s why I decided on China as my place of refuge.”

“…Isn’t that what it is?”

The Heavenly Demon denies it.

“I didn’t decide to defect to China because I’m a Romance of the Three Kingdoms otaku.”

“Then?”

“…so, to be honest…”

For the first time, Lee Ye-ryeong opened his mouth and wiggled his fingers.

“…My dream was to become the undefeated leader of the Demonic Cult of the East.”

here.

“So, I also named him Cheonma…!”

There is a loner who wants to walk the path of martial arts alone.

“Actually, isn’t that nickname caused by villains in China?”

“Ugh.”

“In China…villain?”

“Okay. The enemy of the Heavenly Demon.”

The Chinese Central Party hired the Heavenly Horse and did not simply use it as a signboard.

“There is a villain in China. Organized violence groups settle in each region and threaten administrative agencies.”

This is what they call themselves:

“Murim.”

The largest armed group in China and an unofficial organization.

“A country where security is maintained by gangsters in virtually the entire province, excluding the capital. That is the China of this era.”

There is no ‘cooperation’ for them.
