173 – Chapter 7. suffocating

Turning into a child had the potential to cause many problems.

What if you succeed in transforming, but don’t go back to normal?

– Little boy. Where did librarian Do Ji-hwan go?

-I suddenly became a child.

-…Ability to turn a child into a child? I’ve never heard of such a supernatural power! Take this kid with you right now and study it!

will be the subject of investigation.

Therefore, in transforming, I had to be very careful about returning to the original state, and above all, I needed to freely move between the states of a child and an adult.

But this, surprisingly, was not a big problem.

After transforming, there was no time difference between returning to the original state, and I was able to change my body freely.

It just continues to consume mana after transforming.

It is not possible to permanently hide like the dark knight, but like a ghost agent, if you use only a little mana and continuously consume mana, you can maintain the state of a child.

In the case of Dool, it is a transformation to reduce mana consumption, but in my case, I have to transform while spending mana.

Then, of course, there must be good points when you became a child, but considering those advantages, I have only experienced one so far.

– Too exaggerated! Come on! I’ll hug you.

-teacher. Can I still hold you? Can I sleep hugging the teacher instead of using a body pillow?

…There was no particular advantage other than that Dool and Ymir’s skinship became a little stronger, or there was more contact.

Hiding his identity as Do Ji-hwan would be meaningful, but it would be better to become a spiritual person than to reveal his identity like that.

well, whatever

“Hello, Mr. Jihwan.”

“You worked hard, Mr. Seolhee. You must have been tired because you had a regular lecture in the afternoon.”

“That’s what… did you eat grilled meat?”

“Yes. I grilled the beef.”

I, who greeted Seolhee Baek, was Do Jihwan, an adult as usual, and I was busy ventilating the air in the room.

“Meat… Did Ymir cook it well?”

“No? The teacher cooked it for you? I just took it and ate it. Whoops.”

“Ji-hwan, in person?”

“Yes. If you go to a barbecue restaurant and eat, you’ll notice other people, and you’ll be in trouble because you’re taking a picture of it. I bought it in advance.”

“…If I’d known this would happen, I’d just say I wouldn’t eat dinner.”

Baek Seol-hee sat down in a chair with a depressed face.

“Didn’t you say that the faculty and staff were having a beef dinner?”

“Who you eat with is another matter.”

“ah.”

Beef is also beef.

Beef eaten with an uncomfortable person is nothing more than a cushion of thorns.

“And I couldn’t even eat properly.”

“why?”

“A drunken mad professor offered to grill it and flipped it with his own chopsticks instead of tongs.”

“Ugh. Didn’t you say no?”‘

“When we talked about it on the spot, they just said, ‘I’m going to become a devil!

“…….”

Is it wrong to turn the meat over with your own chopsticks instead of using the tongs that were given to you?

Or is it wrong to make such a mistake and say something that shouldn’t be said to a person with special abilities?

Personally, it’s the former, but from the point of view of a person with special abilities, the latter is far more unpleasant and irritating.

“Welcome. Shall I bake some more?”

“No. I’m ventilating it, but it’s a little bit of a smoke. I ate a lot before the old man came, so it’s okay.”

“…Did the professor just walk around from table to table with a drink?”

“Yes.”

“Wow, I really hate it.”

Ymir shook his head in disgust.

“Then you just carried a glass and gave me this to drink, didn’t you?”

“That’s right. They even try to bump into the saliva-stained side while saying toast.”

“Wow, disgusting.”

“I just came in there to smoke.”

“aaa!”

Ymir screamed in disgust.

“Ugh. I really hate it…”

“Ymir, you could have experienced that too? Korean K-dine-out culture.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Yeah, originally, it’s a national rule to have a drink on Friday with practice mates.”

No matter how hard you practice, you will go in together when you enter Sejong Island anyway.

Unless you become an enemy of such a degree that you will never see each other for the rest of your life, at least at the end of practice, you will have a meal together or talk about various things while having a dinner.

In the first place, the staff creates an atmosphere like that, and the talented people make a table and talk.

“It’s a bit dangerous when a person with special abilities gets drunk, but it’s not like everyone has to be a teacher and a hero to take care of it. This time, everything was ruined.”

“Because it was a funeral, not a dinner party.”

Of course, Joe, who had a demon among his practice mates, returned to Sejong Island after the practice was over from the first day, but there is no way he could have a proper dinner party.

At most, we exchanged contact information or had a simple conversation after we became close friends on the first day.

No proper conversation can take place.

“hahahaha. If the conclusion had come out a little earlier, the dinner would have ended quickly, and I could have come to eat the meat Jihwan grilled.”

“conclusion?”

“Yes. Ymir, it’s about you. The treatment of Platinum Sun has been decided.”

“…Five.”

Ymir just took a bite of ice cream for dessert and his eyes twinkled.

“It feels strange to say treatment, but can it be leaked now?”

“Even if it’s leaked, you don’t have to say, ‘Baek Seol-hee said it’. Ji-hwan-ssi too.”

“…I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything.”

Although my house cat may have heard.

“Kuhmm. The government announcement will be made tomorrow morning anyway… We have decided to formally request cooperation at the association level regarding Platinum Sun.”

“Cooperation?”

“Yes. Platinum Sun is a ‘hero’ after all, so it’s possible to ask for help from a hero, unlike asking for help from a villain, right?”

Baek Seol-hee got up from her chair and pretended to be swinging a baseball bat.

“Whether it’s once a week or once every ten days, I’ve decided to ask the Platinum Sun for help. From now on, if anyone gets captured as a demon, I’ll ask the Platinum Sun to purify it when I’m captured.”

“You don’t ask every time the devil appears, do you mean there is a period?”

“Yes. It’s like consideration for Platinum Sun.”

“Is that considerate? You’re trying to pamper me regularly.”

I was just annoyed.

“Aren’t they trying to use Ymir as they please? At one time, they tried to use goblins to create an execution ground, but now they’re not trying to use the Platinum Sun.”

“That’s right. That’s how the government decided.”

“What do you think, Seol-hee?”

“…….”

Baek Seol-hee lowered her head for a moment.

“…First of all, I think the ‘cleansing’ itself has to happen. Regarding the compensation, we need to discuss the story a bit more, but the conclusion that came out today was that we should ask Platinum Sun for support.”

“Did you have a party with that?”

“Yes. The opinion that there should be a reward for Platinum Taeyang was a minority including myself… We’ll have a meeting later,” and the opinion was ignored. It’s familiar. “

“Then if I don’t go out, won’t it stop?”

Ymir tilted his head.

“Why does everyone think I’m going to purify demons…?”

“no?”

“I’m going to purify it, but listening to my sister now, the government seems to have that kind of idea…?”

Ymir put the index fingers of both hands on his temples and narrowed his eyes.

“Using Platinum Sun’s ability to purify demons, not only Korea, but also demons from other countries will be purified in Korea, and Korea wants to benefit…? It seems like something like that.”

“That’s right. That’s right. Korea is trying to do a ‘Devil Purification Project’ against demons all over the world. Actually, it’s trying to appease Platinum Sun, the owner and core of that technology, with this.”

“Your chest?”

“…patriotism!”

“I’m a foreigner. When I use this ability, there are times when my eyes even change to gold.”

“I’m not saying you’re a foreigner. It’s not just one or two people whose hair color or eye color changes while using this ability.”

Baek Seol-hee pointed to her hair.

“I have white hair too. The color of my eyes is also close to grayish white.”

“Um… so, you think I’m Korean, and you’re using that patriotism to use me for the national interest?”

“Yes. I’m using your conviction to purify demons. Mir.”

Baek Seol-hee looked at Ymir with a determined face.

“Don’t ever be swayed. Even if I say I can’t help it, you’re free. You can go back to your original country, Canada. It can’t be helped that your identity is revealed a little. Or you can pitch as an S+-class hero on the American side.”

“sister?”

“As a senior hero, as an older sister, and…as a colleague in my own right. Don’t let the country wield you. You have to be the one who shakes the country. Okay?”

“…When my sister says that, something feels very strange. Doesn’t it, sir?”

“I know.”

Baek Seol-hee, who works harder for the country than anyone else, would say such a thing.

‘Is it because of the influence of me and Ymir?’

Even if he doesn’t, I hope others don’t have a leash in the country.

Proof that Baek Seol-hee’s pure whiteness is slowly getting cloudy just by thinking about it.

“Huh… Okay. Sister. Thank you for the advice. I think you said something to the teacher first…”

“Mr. Jihwan must have the same mind as me, right? Mr. Jihwan?”

“…right.”

no.

Change ball here…?

“Oh, look at my mind. Mr. Jihwan, I brought you a present.”

“Gift?”

“Yes. Thank you always.”

Baek Seol-hee handed me a shopping bag she had brought.

“This….”

“Shoes. I want you to wear them to work.”

“…….”

this.

It’s a trap.

“Shoes…?”

“Yeah.”

Baek Seol-hee looked at me with a calm face and replied.

That shameless face is more ridiculous than the advice given to Ymir.

“Shoe size, 280 mm.”
