#Episode 129
“Oh, really?”
“If there had been a ceasefire, the story of the stars, no, the system would have moved straight to the next chapter of phase 2. And if the system had moved on to the next chapter.”
“What if it falls through?”
“We are able to throw off the control of the system. That means we become resurrected beings, not beings reconstructed by the system.”
“That’s funny. You all had a plan, didn’t you?”
“… … .”
“What can I do if I feel regretful about this? I feel sorry for no reason.”
“Don’t lie. You don’t look sorry at all.”
Well, who in the world would be truly sorry and then tear it apart?
“By the way, do you know anything about the Zombie Emperor or something?”
“does not exist.”
“Really not there?”
“does not exist.”
“Then tell me why you guys are here.”
“… …Why should I do this?”
“If you don’t do it, I’ll torture you and kill you from now on. If you do it, I’ll kill you comfortably.”
This elf knows that I mean what I say.
Knowing that, I opened my mouth in resignation.
“I made a deal with the managers.”
“What’s the deal?”
“Goeuroon is a merchant. He can teach us how to separate the ‘zombie bugs’… … .”
Akaruan trails off. Is he going to see the liver?
“How and what next?”
“… … asked for seeds that could conceive a species.”
He tilted his head.
A seed that can conceive a species?
“Don’t make it difficult for me. What is that?”
“… … I decided to hand over my younger sister, Mary Pressian, to the goblins.”
For a moment, a strange thought occurred to me.
“Is that what I just thought of ‘that’?”
“I don’t know what that is, but it’s probably true. Crossbreeding, Gourun crossbreeds with various species to elevate the goblin species to a higher level. My sister is a strong person who awakened the natural aura at a young age. Mary Pressian will become the seed of goblins and will conceive a goblin child in her womb.”
eww.
“These guys are really disgusting. The ones giving it and the ones receiving it. So what do you guys get?”
“Star #2403 is recognized as belonging to the Plessian Empire.”
Look at that.
They all have their own agenda.
Most people who are originally intelligent are like this. They always cause all kinds of diseases behind their backs.
“Do administrators have that much authority?”
“Even without it, if we had ruled over star #2403, everyone would have had to admit it in the end. That’s because it’s a ‘variable.’”
“I see.”
I just stood up from my seat.
At this point, I’ve heard all the will.
Then, as if he had forgotten, he continued speaking.
“If there’s a next life, live it knowing when to act and when not to act. Okay?”
“… …Your end will not be smooth either.”
He didn’t say anything, but I’ve heard that a lot.
But it’s been smooth so far. It will probably be smooth until I die.
“Thank you for worrying about me.”
He then kicked Acacia’s head with his foot.
Kwajik-!

Leopold read his notes, no, his diary, with a hardened expression.
Since Leopold was already trained in speed reading, it didn’t take long for him to read it.
The diary was brutal.
Carl Schmitz.
10 years ago, in 2024, the eldest daughter, Karl, left home and got a job at a factory. What did she experience, what changes in her mind occurred as a result of those experiences, and what did she realize because of those experiences?
All of these things were arranged in chronological order.
This is definitely not a novel.
This can’t be a novel.
A person’s growth period, no, his entire life, was written in this diary.
Surely, Leopold thought that it couldn’t be true, but the sincerity of this diary was beyond reason.
The Karl on Earth is fake, and the owner of this diary is real.
Nearly 10 years, no, 30 years.
I don’t know. Leopold was a man who never cried even as a child. Even his parents said that they never saw Leopold cry for a single moment except when he was born. He was a man who was special in many ways, but now his eyes are red.
And the last part of the diary.
There was a letter from Karl to Leopold and Hannah, not a diary.
[… … I don’t know if this diary will reach my father. But maybe it will. Because the man who took this diary is called a martial god here on Titan.

He was born in Korea, and I learned a lot from him. I saved his life exactly three times, but he saved mine more than ten times. He was really great when he saved me from being kidnapped by dragons. Since he is that kind of man, this letter will probably be delivered to my father. And I will probably not be of this world.
I have no regrets. At least I have no regrets living here on Titan. My boring father told me to become a doctor.
I didn’t understand it when I was young. So I ran away from home and talked back to my dad… … I really regret that. I think I know how my dad felt. He felt alive when he healed people. I feel the same way. Being a doctor is a really good job. You don’t hold a knife to kill people, but a knife to save them. I like it. Why didn’t I know that when I was young? Why did I speak to my dad so harshly when I was young?
I hope Dad is alive. I hope Hanna is alive too. If anything happens, tell Jin Shi-hoo who is there. He will listen. I owed him a lot just in case. He is a man who always keeps his promises, so you don’t have to worry. Dad.]
There were tear stains all over the letter. She must have cried while writing it.
As he wrote this letter, Leopold could clearly see what Karl was thinking.
I feel all those emotions, all those feelings.
The moment he saw the last sentence, tears poured down from Leopold’s eyes.
[I want my dad to be happy. I love you.]
I slowly raised my head.
Only then did Leopold realize what was happening around him.
Leopold first recognized that the elves, the monsters that had been completely ruling the Munich Hospital, were all dead. Secondly, he recognized that the man lying on the floor with his head blown off was the leader of the elves. Thirdly, he recognized Jin Shihou, who was sitting on the back of the elf leader, Akaruan, smoking a cigarette.
I almost dropped my notes.
“… … .”
I was speechless. I couldn’t even think of wiping away the tears that were flowing like a waterfall from my eyes. Should I call it cognitive dissonance?
Is that possible?
I wrote in my diary that the guy was amazing, but I didn’t know it was this great.
It’s so out of the ordinary.
Jin Shihou stood up from his seat and approached Leopold. He took a handkerchief out of his bosom and handed it to Leopold.
“Here it is.”
Leopold takes the handkerchief with trembling hands and wipes away his tears.
Jin Shihou said.
“I think we’re past the point of doubt, but just in case, I’ll tell you for sure that everything written there is true.”
“… … I’m embarrassed.”
Jin Shi-hoo tilted his head for a moment, wondering if it was the answer he had expected. However, he was convinced by Leopold’s subsequent words.
“As a father, I am truly ashamed.”
“What are you ashamed of?”
“I suppressed my feelings, believing the fake to be real. I didn’t recognize it even though it was right in front of me. As a doctor, as a father, and as a person, I’m truly ashamed.”
He shook his head.
“Even my older sister didn’t recognize me. Doppelgangers are stronger than those dead elves over there. It would be funnier if normal people recognized me when their powers were different.”
Jin Shihou raised his hand and patted Leopold on the shoulder.
“So don’t be ashamed, just feel sorry. At least as far as I know, Karl lived on Titan without regrets. He was revered as a saint, made a lot of money, lived a happy life, and left without regrets.”
Leopold asked.
“What kind of person was Karl to you?”
“She was a saint and a friend.”
Leopold shakes his head.
“Other than that, I want to hear your honest opinion. What kind of person was he?”
Jin Shihou thought for a moment and then answered without hesitation.
“He was a great doctor.”
“… … It was great… … I’m glad.”
Jin Shihou, who had been staring blankly at Leopold, turned his head.
At first I didn’t feel it, but as I slowly looked around, I saw this.
The people here are more dishonest than I thought.
Should I say that it feels like I can’t eat properly or wash properly?
“Let’s each go back home first.”
As soon as the words are spoken, the surroundings become quiet.
I think the order is wrong.
“What is the situation in Germany right now? I don’t know much about it.”
Leopold, holding the notebook tightly in his arms, continued speaking slowly.
Jin Shi-hoo sighed when he heard about the situation in Germany from his own mouth.
* * *
Since I returned to Earth, honestly, even though things like the Gate and such have appeared, in some ways it doesn’t seem all that different from when I lived there 10 years ago.
It had to be that way.
Because we had an older sister in South Korea.
When I went to clear the gate that was created in Texas, USA, the magician Jin Song-i, that place was also okay. It couldn’t be otherwise. There was a man named Jamie Wilson in America.
I haven’t been there, but I’m sure it was the same in Japan.
Because there was a unique Awakener there named Hashimoto Kaoru, who was an apostle.
Unique Awakener.
Their presence symbolized the peace of the country in which they resided.
Where they live, money and talent flock.
The reason why the Salvation Group founded by my older sister was able to grow so large was because money and talent were gathered in it.
Then I should have thought the opposite.
What would the situation be like in places where there are no unique awakeners?
Was it enjoying peace like the countries mentioned above, such as South Korea, the United States, and Japan?
no.
That was absolutely not the case.
Germany is not the Germany of old.
The Awakened ones used all sorts of schemes to seize power and even assassinated key figures.
The conflict between the Awakened and the common people reached a boiling point, and Germany was on the verge of being divided into East and West Germany again, just like in the old textbooks.
In that situation, the zombie outbreak broke out.
How should I say this?
To put it simply, Germany is now barely maintaining its name and is unable to function as a proper nation.
If we leave it like this, it will be destroyed within a week.
