179 – Chapter 7. Crisis as opportunity (3)

morning.

Baek Seol-hee woke up with a hazy mind.

It seems like I fell asleep in a very tired state last night, but when I woke up, my whole body felt refreshed.

It feels like everything that has been piled up so far has been dissolved.

Like waking up from a deep sleep that made you think you might be snoring, a feeling that makes you wonder if it’s possible to wake up in the morning with a happier feeling than this.

When did you feel this way?

yes.

That day, in Ulleungdo-

“!!”

“woke up?”

Baek Seol-hee’s heart sank at the whispering voice right next to her.

“Ji-hwan…?”

“Looks like you haven’t woken up yet.”

“Why Jihwan…?”

“Sir, the soup is done.”

“Yes. I’ll be there soon.”

Another woman’s voice came from the kitchen.

For a moment, I thought ‘what kind of year it is’, but when I thought about it again, it was Ymir’s voice.

By the way.

Why are the two of them in their own room?

“I left my Taegeuk Watch. Ymir opened the space. It was uncomfortable to stay in my room all the time, so we moved over.”

“Ah, that’s right. I keep in touch… Ah!”

Baek Seol-hee reflexively stretched her hand out on the bedside table.

“Contact…!”

“No. Urgent. If there was, we would have woken you up, right?”

“……ah.”

Baek Sul-hee blushed for no reason as she felt like she was performing a skit.

“I checked the Taegeuk watch as soon as I woke up. Being a hero is really hard.”

“……Something is strange.”

“What?”

“Us….”

Baek Seol-hee pointed at Do Ji-hwan, who was staring at him, and at himself.

“Didn’t we decide to let go…?”

“Do Ji-hwan, who had been looking at himself with no expression, was relieved that Seol-hee Baek remembered him correctly.”

“Yeah?”

“I remember it well.”

Do Ji-hwan immediately relaxed his expression and stroked Baek Seol-hee’s hair.

“Get up. The meal is done.”

“rice is….”

“I’m making it with ingredients from my refrigerator. It’s okay. I haven’t opened the refrigerator.”

“!!”

Once again, Seolhee Baek came to her senses.

for a moment.

You came into my room?

Yes, I did come in.

Ymir decided to stay in this room first, and in the meantime, he was put to the test so that his indomitable will would not be broken against Do Ji-hwan.

However, it was unexpected that Do Ji-hwan entered this room.

The fact that Do Ji-hwan entered this room means that he did not clean up the room before moving to Do Ji-hwan’s room.

“…ah.”

While Do Ji-hwan went to the kitchen, Seol-hee Baek hurriedly looked around the room.

It was neatly organized.

The coat that was roughly left on the floor, the underwear that was roughly thrown in the laundry basket, and even the empty cans of beer that I drank alone to relieve stress at night and piled up like bowling pins!!

“…….”

Baek Seol-hee remembered Do Ji-hwan’s room.

It wasn’t to the point of mysticism, but it was a neatly organized room that would not be an exaggeration to say it was a model house.

Of course, you could say that it was because other people came in and out every day, but compared to Seol-hee Baek’s own room, it was at the level of being organized at a hotel.

then.

This room, could it be Do Ji-hwan…?

“ah….”

“sister.”

In the middle of the kitchen, while Do Ji-hwan was putting food in a bowl, Ymir came over and lowered his voice.

“Cleaning, I did it all. Jihwan doesn’t know.”

“ah.”

“While my sister worked hard with the teacher, I cleaned her room.”

“…That, thank you…?”

“hehehe. Wake up. I have to eat breakfast. Don’t worry. Unnie didn’t worry about anything.”

“……Really?”

“Yeah.”

Baek Seol-hee was grateful to Ymir for no reason, and felt a little sorry.

“…I’ll buy a big meal later.”

“It’s not like I was hoping for that. Instead, it’s later.”

Ymir glanced around the kitchen, then lowered his voice as he held out his little finger.

“If I can’t do it alone, can I ask my sister to help me…?”

“…….”

Baek Seol-hee felt ashamed of herself at Ymir’s heart.

She wants to monopolize herself somehow, but this woman seems to understand and consider even that.

Even when I’m young

“…Of course. Next time, I’ll ask for your help then.”

“Yes. Let’s help each other. Against that evil villain.”

“……!”

Baek Seol-hee’s heart sank for a moment, and Yumir raised his index finger to his lips and squinted his eyes.

“We’ll talk about the details later, the two of us separately.”

“…yes.”

Baek Seol-hee was a little confused, but that’s what she thought.

Does that villain just mean wielding a vicious club at night?

If you look at it literally, it means that a man named Do Ji-hwan is the epitome of a low-key person.

In fact, the club he had was so vicious that Seol-hee Baek really wanted to put everything down, and in the end, Seol-hee Baek lost all consciousness in the middle.

I couldn’t check the time because I didn’t have a watch, but I couldn’t tell myself when I started or when I lost consciousness.

If that’s the case, it’s just a malicious expression used as a joke.

But if that’s not the case, what if it’s the expression Baek Seol-hee understood?

-I know Do Ji-hwan is a goblin, so don’t worry.

-I’m pretending not to know on purpose, so please cooperate with me too.

-I’ll tell you later why you pretended not to know, so please cooperate with me for now.

seemed to say

Ymir.

If Platinum Taeyang knew that the goblin was Do Ji-hwan and had a relationship like this.

Why does she hide that she is a goblin without telling others?

Maybe there is something you don’t know.

Unlike herself, who is just an S-class hero, if she had the ability to purify demons like a ‘god’.

“……after.”

Baek Seol-hee decided not to complicate things.

“sit down.”

“…It’s food.”

“Because it’s easy to prepare.”

However, as soon as he saw Do Ji-hwan, who seemed to have prepared only his favorite food for breakfast, Seol-hee Baek gave up thinking about it any longer.

“what’s the matter?”

“I just got tired of thinking about anything.”

yes.

What if Do Ji-hwan is a goblin?

What if a man has a wife?

at last.

“Do Ji-hwan.”

“yes?”

“…Ah.”

Because everything is the fault of this man who has a crush on him.

if.

if it is false

then….

“I think I said unnecessary things.”

“heheheeng. But it’s good. You said you calculated everything and threw a comment?”

After preparing breakfast for Seolhee Baek and saying hello, I grabbed Ymir as soon as I returned to my room.

“Because I dragged you with aggro, now I’m going to ask me rather than the teacher. Why do you hide that you’re a goblin? What’s the reason?”

“What are you going to say?”

“Is it more profitable to hide that you are a goblin?”

“benefit?”

“Yes. Solve it like a hero.”

Rather, Ymir grabbed my shoulder and pushed me against the wall.

“Even if a villain walks the path of a villain, the hero’s mission is to bring it straight from the side and turn it into a hero.”

“…will you convince me?”

“A goblin on the side of justice. It’s plausible, right? And is it actually producing results? Goblin, you’re refraining from killing people right now.”

“…You’re not wrong.”

“Whoops. It won’t roll as seriously as you worry, sir. If Seol-hee unnie stabs you in the stomach with an ice spear, it’s not because you hid that you’re a goblin…”

Ymir’s index finger brushed my lips.

“It was when I was caught complaining about falling for Seolhee unnie.”

“…….”

“Seol-hee unnie, honestly, you don’t really care that you’re a goblin? The goblin didn’t s*xually harass Seol-hee unnie, didn’t make fun of Seol-hee unni, called a bald mountain, and didn’t break people’s pots while playing with villains in front of Seol-hee unnie.”

“I didn’t do anything bad.”

“Yes. That’s why you don’t have to worry about it. You’re a goblin. Actually, everything was revealed yesterday, and I’m done persuading you with a bat.”

“I won’t deny it.”

As Ymir said.

Even if Baek Seol-hee knew for sure that I was a goblin now, she wouldn’t feel betrayed.

Rather, you will feel a greater sense of betrayal about the words ‘I did it because I liked it’.

“Ha ha. I guess I didn’t have to think about it too complicatedly.”

You don’t have to think about giving yourself a headache.

You just have to accept the situation as it is.

“It would be convenient to think of it in reverse order.”

Because I like Seol-hee Baek, I exposed my identity to her, and I want to impregnate her.

Among the numerous heroines and women on this island, there was only one reason why he was friendly with Baek Seol-hee.

I.

I want to make her mine.

I want to make Seolhee Baek mine and have my child.

to be honest.

If he didn’t like Seolhee Baek, he wouldn’t have even approached him in the first place.

“That’s right. I might have liked Baek Seol-hee.”

“…….”

“why?”

“…Huh? This isn’t it?”

Ymir rolled his eyes from side to side with a serious face.

“Huh, sir? Wasn’t he a bad boy playing with women’s hearts?”

“I did. But thanks to you, I thought about it for a moment. If I hadn’t liked Seolhee Baek, I wouldn’t have touched her in the first place. I don’t play patriotism except for people I like.”

“…why do you like it?”

“Do you think you’re pretty, have a good personality, and think you’ll give birth to a child?”

“wow….”

Ymir opened his mouth in amazement.

“Then what about me?”

“you….”

I tried to answer, but I just pushed Ymir’s face with my hand.

“It’s okay. If you look at me like that, I hate it even if I want to answer.”

“My child, tell me. Don’t do that.”

“Do you want to hear it?”

“Yeah!”

“Then, listen carefully.”

I pulled Ymir’s ear.

“I had no intention of using a condom against you in the first place.”

“…….”

“Okay? Then let’s go now. To exterminate the demons.”

“…do you plan to write in the future?”

“doesn’t exist.”

that.

“I am a patriot.”

Because it’s a country.

shoot it

Calm waves rise in Busan Harbor.

A white passenger ship much larger than the other ships arrived at Busan Port.

As many people gathered at the port, one-ton trucks began to move in a line toward the docked passenger ship.

The trucks painted white on the outside were all special vehicles, and on top of the trucks were loaded things like containers that filled the trucks.

On the outside of the container, there was a large mark of the Hero Association.

Goo goo.

As the trucks carrying people inside the container climbed onto the ferry one by one, a brown-haired woman in a black suit on the deck of the ferry tapped her Taegeuk watch and called somewhere.

“Yes. Yes. We have started boarding. We will move everything to the destination. Yes. Everything is for the sake of the infinite development of the nation and people.”

“As soon as the ‘traitors’ arrive on the island, we will move them to the laboratory.”
