66 – Chapter 3. Transformation isn’t just for riders! (3)

Young men and women in their 20s stick together for three days in a row from Friday to Sunday?

“No matter who thinks, I can’t help but think that’s it, right?”

“You’d think I was patriotic.”

The housekeeper roughly organized the items in the envelope.

Then he put the key pieces of evidence he had bought to make an alibi, two medical and health items, under the shelf of the TV.

“You’ll have to work hard to fill all 24 of these later?”

“If that’s the case, there’s a way, so don’t worry.”

“What are you going to do?”

“You can just make it with a goblin’s bat.”

“heheheung, won’t mana be exhausted?”

“Who are you worried about?”

I spread my arms and expressed my confidence.

“I’m a goblin. I haven’t transformed in the meantime, and I’m in full condition now after healing on Ulleungdo. It’s like a fully charged state.”

“But I heard you secretly go around the treasure hunt?”

“There’s still some time left until then.”

There are now three days left until Friday, when the treasure hunt begins.

“About 24 rounds of mana is enough to recover.”

“Assuming recovery is something important in a treasure hunt, I guess? There was no intelligence about demons or villains appearing there.”

“Maybe it will appear.”

“Huh. Since when did our provincial chief start working hard to prevent crime?”

“Are you being sarcastic?”

“I’m not being sarcastic. It just doesn’t seem to fit with my previous behavior.”

The mother-in-law’s advice was correct.

“Chief Do always came to solve the case after it happened. Just like a hero who always arrives late to the scene.”

“It’s a remark that denigrates all heroes.”

“Because I don’t like heroes very much. I belong to an organization in the first place, so what? Based on the information coming in through the organization, my role is to deliver a mission that is easy for the chief to perform, but there is no information about treasure hunting.”

The mother-in-law lightly covered her ears with her hands.

“If there’s any information I shouldn’t know, don’t tell me. I’ll just cooperate with you to create an alibi. Okay?”

“It’s not like that. It’s just my personal business to look around the treasure hunt.”

“If you’re going to tell me, let me know. If you don’t want me to tell you, don’t even tell me at all.”

“It’s nothing special. Like you said, I’m trying to prevent and patrol.”

“…the sun rises in the west.”

Despite my sincere answer, the hostess only tilted her head as if she couldn’t believe my words.

“Chief Do is a villain type. It’s not a villain patrol. To put it a little extreme, let’s take a hostage situation as an example.”

The mother-in-law pretended to strangle herself.

“…Wasn’t the goblin the one who went to kill the hostage-taker when the hostage-taker killed the hostage, not the one who saved the hostage from the hostage-taker?”

“It was. It always has been, and always will be.”

Rescuing hostages is the hero’s job.

If the hostage taker kills the hostage, don’t go over.

“It will be a little different in treasure hunting.”

However, this time, we want to manage in advance so that a hostage situation does not occur.

“Is it because there was a change of heart this time? Huh? It’s not even a life-and-death mission, but you’re acting as an autonomous security guard. Isn’t that too much work?”

“Because two Ooksini can appear?”

“…Not in my intelligence network.”

The mother-in-law’s expression immediately became serious.

“Is there something I’m missing?”

“No. If you didn’t enter the mastermind’s information network, the probability of appearing would be less than 0.1%.”

“Because of that 0.1% chance, you’re going to patrol now? All day Friday? What’s the rationale?”

“It’s a feeling.”

“……If you say that, I have nothing to say.”

At my words, the mother-in-law raised her hands and shook her head.

“Okay. What can I support? Is there anything else I can do besides making an alibi?”

“If Duoxinni, his organization, or anyone else including Hwalbindang tries to swindle the treasure hunt, you just have to tell them the information right away.”

“That’s of course. But, chief, aren’t you going to leave your Taegeuk watch here?”

“I’ll leave it behind. If you get any information like that before Friday, let me know.”

“Should I ask the company for something like that? A communicator that can communicate with the manager and me even though it is not caught on all the radars on Sejong Island.”

“If there was such a thing, Sejong Island would have been in the hands of the society long ago.”

It’s uncomfortable, but I can’t help it.

Sejong Island is a place where the world’s attention is focused.

Serious problems occur when you talk on a strange frequency in such a place, or if you have a sensitive conversation, or if you talk on a channel that can’t be settled in an association.

“But I’ll think of a way. It might be possible if I just find and hire someone with telepathic powers.”

“…It’s not an impossible story.”

Although there is a possibility of wiretapping of radio waves and communications, ‘magic power’ is a different story.

“Even if it’s risky, I’d better give it a try. In a place other than Sejong Island.”

“I’m going to submit a proposal to the company. Do you know? Maybe the manager will send more team members from above to apply.”

“Being a housekeeper is enough, though.”

“I’d appreciate it if you said that, but don’t you say it’s more than one?”

“Then try once more. It’s a bit much to say instead.”

I crossed my hands in the shape of an X.

“No man.”

“…to the point of making inappropriate gestures? Do you hate the male team members or do you want a female team member?”

“There’s a saying that it’s a red skirt, right?”

“…….”

The mother-in-law frowned for a moment.

“…Okay. Let’s say the number of female team members is increasing. Then, you and I will make an alibi just like you did with me, right?”

“I didn’t call it with that intention, but it can be used that way as well.”

“Chief Do, aren’t you going to get stabbed later?”

“What? What such harsh words. What is the reason for me to be stabbed?”

There is not one.

“Whose mouth is that now?”

However, the housekeeper said, ‘Huh? I looked at the man repeating the words ‘What?’

“It’s my prediction, but later on, the manager will say that we’ll have it, and let’s share it? Someone’s legs, someone’s breasts, and someone’s neck.”

“What kind of chicken am I?”

“It’s fortunate if it’s cut into pieces about the size of a chicken. Manager Do is also on the verge of being divided, but isn’t librarian Do too nervous right now?”

“Do Ji-hwan? Me?”

“yes.”

Jumo pulled out a smartphone screen.

“Aren’t you flirting with this student for now?”

“…something.”

The picture the mother-in-law showed me was a picture of me taking a walk with Ymir late at night, to be precise, I escorting her to the front of the dormitory after Ymir visited my house and had dinner.

“Rather than that, where was this picture taken?”

“He wandered around the dark web. He was having a fling with an E-class talent from Canada and a parachute librarian at the library.”

“It’s more of a consultation than a fling.”

“It’s not like we’re announcing that. A hundred out of a hundred people who can only judge from photos would think like this? It’s so hot right now. It’s a spring day. Everyone expects that when cherry blossoms bloom in April, we’ll go see the flowers together, right?”

“Ymir and I are not like that.”

The public and the private must be thoroughly distinguished.

“And even if that happens, I have no intention of stopping making an alibi with you.”

“…Wow. I’m a Westerner, but Chief Do’s view of love is Hollywood-style.”

“then.”

Coming to this world, I decided to become a villain.

“I’m not a hero who needs to care about my social image, so is there a law that says I have to date a girl?”

“bravo.”

The mother-in-law admired me and even clapped her hands.

“Are you going to set up a harem as a goblin later?”

“No. Dokkaebi has an owner. I’m talking about a person named Do Ji-hwan. He’s a normal person, not a person with special abilities.”

“What’s the difference?”

“For my mission, I can meet this woman and that woman, but there is only one goblin that can be called my identity.”

“Could it be…Chairman?”

I shrugged lightly.

“This is all done with the president’s permission.”

“Why did the president allow that?”

“It’s the president’s big picture for world conquest.”

“I think it’s a picture that is difficult to understand from the criminal’s accident. Okay. I don’t know, so Chief Do takes care of everything. I’ll be faithful to my mission.”

“I’ll do my best not to harm you… Oh, wait.”

I received a call from Taegeuk Watch.

[hello?]

“Ah, yes. Mr. Seolhee.”

“…….”

The mother-in-law immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

Even with the name Seol-hee, the hostess immediately knew who I was talking to.

[Can I call you now? Are you outside?]

“Yes, yes. I’m out right now.”

[That’s right. Do you have any plans for the weekend?]

“What are you doing on the weekend? I’m going to pay my annual leave on Friday and Saturday and rest at home. Thanks to you, I’m off for four days on Friday, Saturday, January, and February.”

[Oh yeah?]

Baek Seol-hee’s voice brightened at my answer.

“How is Seolhee?”

[I’m going to field support that Friday. Treasure hunt.]

“… Seol-hee is applying for a treasure hunt? Wow. That’s amazing.”

I sent a hand signal to the hostess, and she immediately picked up a ballpoint pen and started taking notes.

-Snow White, not on the list of support teachers.

“…But is it something to mobilize even Seol-hee? I thought it was just a light event between the students.”

[I thought so too, but I think I’m going to do it a little differently this time.]

“differently?”

[Yeah. Jihwan will know if you look at the official document, but…]

Baek Seol-hee paused slightly and spoke cautiously to me.

[I think the treasure to be found this time is a goblin.]

“…Who is it?”

[goblin.]

“…….”
