40 – Chapter 2. Artificial and natural demons (3)

“It’s surprising. I didn’t expect you to come to a place like this.”

“You don’t like pasta?”

The place I chose is a pasta restaurant run by an Italian chef.

Fortunately, Yoon Yi-sun didn’t seem to be very dissatisfied with my choice.

“No. I thought that men might not like this kind of place.

“…yes?”

Then I’m fine.

“It’s not that I don’t like it. It’s just that it’s a bit like a place for men to come together, or it’s a bit like a place for men to come alone.”

“…well. It doesn’t usually take a lot of courage for a man to come out to eat pasta alone.”

“right?”

It is common for a man to go into a soup restaurant alone and eat soup.

But pasta has a different feel.

No matter how much the status of Korean and Western food has changed, the cultural position occupied by Japanese and Western restaurants has not changed.

– No matter how popular Korean food is worldwide, going on a date with kimchi soup is a bit different.

This is the background that Japanese restaurants and Western food restaurants have not disappeared and have remained in existence until now.

Furthermore, just like the background of the increasing number of foreign restaurants on Sejong Island, there are also stores that are open by foreigners or target foreigners on the peninsula.

As a result, the cultural element of a pasta restaurant – the feeling of ‘a place to come with a woman’ has not disappeared in this world.

Fortunately.

“Student Lee Seon, can it be rumored that you came out to eat with me like this? Isn’t it a scandal?”

“A scandal? Not at all. How many people do I have a meal with as a student council member? Is it a scandal if I eat alone with a presidential candidate?”

“…not a romantic scandal, but a political scandal.”

“Whoops.”

Yoon Yi-sun is a smart woman.

Not only is she a very high-ranking person with special abilities, but her political skills are also quite good.

That’s why she has continued to lead the student council until now, and she continues to lead the student council even now as a college student.

I will continue to lead the student council in the future.

And after graduating, I’m probably going to go to ‘politics’.

To promote the human rights of people with special abilities.

‘But back off.’

Yoon Yi-sun does not yet know all the dark sides of the world.

She is a woman who has lived in a field of pure white flowers, knowing nothing about demons or human experimentation.

I know roughly that there is a bloody mud in the basement of the flower garden, but I don’t know how dirty and vicious that mud is.

I don’t even need to tell you.

“How about this as an excuse in case a scandal happens? The student council is carrying out a project in collaboration with the library.”

“A project?”

“Yes. Book lending project. It’s like holding a ‘review competition’ for books in the library.”

“Then won’t the teacher’s work increase?”

“Not the books in my section, but the 800s literature over there.”

“Hah. Are you handing over the work to other people? Giving you ideas?”

“Of course. I don’t want to live a busy life. I’m a person who wants to live a comfortable, thin and long life.”

“The teacher seems like someone who is going to live something thick, long and thick.”

“……?”

am i wrong now?

Hey, did you say that on purpose to me right now?

then.

can’t lose

“Of course I live thick and long and thick, but life doesn’t always work like that. I always walk around with my head stiffly facing the front, but sometimes I just want to lie down on my bed.”

“You mean you want to continue living like that?”

“When I wake up with my head up, it’s enough when someone needs me.”

“When you need it… It’s fun because it’s like a heroic answer. Whoops.”

Yoon I-sun lightly scorched the marshmallow placed in front of her with a candle.

“I thought about what you said last time.”

“What? Ah, a contract with the devil?”

“Yes. When I think of what you just said, it sounded like being a villain, but I realized the gist of what the teacher said.”

After swallowing the marshmallow in one bite, Yun Yi-sun set the fork vertically on the table.

“Even if you have the power of a devil, what if your actions aren’t demonic? You have the appearance of a devil, but you act like a hero more than anyone else? Should that be called a devil or a hero?”

“He’s a hero.”

I lightly burned the marshmallows over the fire.

“Even if your appearance has deteriorated like this, you can become a hero as long as you want to be a hero. The important thing is your mindset and actions.”

“Isn’t that a belief?”

“Having convictions doesn’t always make you a hero. Like this.”

I swallowed the marshmallow in one go.

“It’s a marshmallow. But it’s burnt. How does it taste? It’s still sweet on the inside, but there’s a bit of bitterness on the inside. I expected the sweetness of a marshmallow, but it wasn’t what I actually ate.”

“I think the teacher tends to make analogies difficult.”

“To put it bluntly, if the action isn’t a hero, you’re not a hero.”

“Well….”

Yoon Yi-sun was lost in thought for a moment.

“…Like a goblin?”

“A goblin.”

Objects that are difficult to say objectively have come out.

“Goblins are villains.”

“But people call him ‘Dark Hero’.”

“What? Ayy, that’s really ridiculous bullshit.”

Dark Hero.

I?

It’s nonsense.

“Dokkaebi just kills all villains. It’s like what happened on the Gyeongbu Expressway a while ago, and it’s like that at the restaurant over there. Ugh, how scared I was at that time.”

“……?”

“Oh, I was at the restaurant at the time. I was attacked while eating.”

“Really? I’m sorry. If I had known, I would have asked after you earlier.”

“No. I’m just glad I came out safely.”

Because it was an accident that actually killed a person.

“Anyway, a goblin can’t be called a hero whether it’s a dark hero or whatever. He’s just a villain who doesn’t hesitate to kill people for his own purposes.”

“You’re very underrated.”

“Because it’s true.”

“Um… I think it’s pretty good.”

“…yes?”

now what?

“Dokkaebi is okay? Are you defending the villain now?”

“I’m not defending villains. I’m defending goblins.”

“You’re defending a villain who kills people? You’re talking about big trouble.”

“Is that so? I think what he’s doing is right.”

“…….”

Are you floating?

Are you saying that because you think I’m a goblin?

Do you really think that goblins are right?

“A person who kills a person is punished by death. It is in the 8th Article of Gojoseon Law.”

“That’s an ancient law, and there’s a problem with applying it as it is in modern times.”

“But continuing to imprison without killing doesn’t seem to be of much help to society. Once a villain is always a villain… Even if it’s not like saying, I think that those who act evil should be punished appropriately, and the death of a person I think it should be replaced with his death.”

“It’s relentless. Then later on, I might accidentally kill the villain or something like that.”

“I won’t kill you.”

Yoon Yi-sun shrugged and smiled.

“A hero arrests a villain. And the execution of the death penalty is judged by the law. Of course, if you do not obey the arrest in the process of arrest, the hero is not held accountable even if he is summarily punished on the spot.”

“I didn’t expect to have a meal with student Lee Seon and talk like this.”

“Your teacher said goblins badly.”

oh

no way?

“Are you a goblin fan club or something like that?”

“…….”

Yoon I-sun took out her smartphone and showed something indescribable on the screen.

“I’m the goblin’s fan club member number 38. He’s the one who’s seen the goblin active since he was a C-class. They say he knows everything about the goblin’s appearances so far.”

oh.

It was a big deal.

Goblin otaku.

“Oh my God. Is it okay for the student council president to do this to the villain?”

“Yes. There are so many people who like goblins besides me. When the heroes frustratedly announce the Miranda principle and try to catch the villains, there are so many people who cheer when they see the villains break the earth. There are also people who were saved thanks to the goblins. There is.”

“Salvation?”

“Yes. The villains killed by goblins, the survivors of those killed by them. It’s roughly like this. Thank you for killing me instead.”

“…….”

It feels like something is tingling in the stomach.

“I sometimes think about it. If there are demons in this world, they are not runaway superpowers, but those who commit crimes with malice. Among them, they are those who kill people for reasons others cannot understand.”

“Get it… it gets more and more complicated.”

“Even if it gets complicated, it has to be done. Isn’t it better than those people who claim to conquer the world at random?”

“……What?”

now.

A gunman’s dream.

Did you insult me?

“I can’t just leave it there.”

“…Do you know where I’m talking about?”

“Yeah. You know. We’re talking about the association, Im Mae Mang-ryang.”

“Do you really think it would be great for an evil organization to rule the world and turn it into one great nation?”

“…not necessarily like that. Not really. I don’t know what the form will be, but wouldn’t it be okay if it was eventually shown through actions and results?”

“As expected, the teacher is interesting. Ah. Are you the guardian of the 4 kings or the leader of the society?”

“…Well, let’s count something similar.”

at last.

Yoon Yi-sun and I had different targets, but the consensus was the same.

“Even if you’re a demon on the outside, if you’re a hero on the inside, you can be considered a hero.”

“Yes. In that sense, I brought some sketches.”

“…sketch?”

“Yeah.”

Yoon I-sun smiled broadly and opened the gallery with her smartphone.

“I’m going to do this with my new costume, how do you like it?”

“…….”

I have one thing to say.

“A hot pink dodge rider?”

Oh my goodness.
