Episode 195

Earth situation (3)

It had been causing a stir in the wireless world not long ago, and now it seemed to be targeting Earth once again.

But Jeongdo was not embarrassed at all. No, on the contrary, I thought the news Tinia delivered was good news.

That’s because it was a method that was completely uncharacteristic of demons.

‘It seems like the failure in the wireless world was a big blow.’

As far as I know, demons are people who find slaughter and fighting as their pleasure in life.

But even though those guys can’t attack directly, they send monsters to check on the liver? It seemed clear that a significant amount of power had been consumed.

Jeongdo said while stroking Tinia in his arms.

“okay. “Thank you for letting me know.”

“joy. I just give back what I received. By the way, you’ve changed a lot. The smell I feel from you has become much stronger. It’s okay. “I like it very much.”

She took a sniff in her arms and said that. Tinia immediately noticed that the level had suddenly become stronger due to her unique sense of the wild. She asked the degree as if she was very interested.

“What on earth happened in that short period of time? “If I could, I would like to try it too.”

“I just learned how to fight under the right people. So, I have a teacher.”

“teacher? to you?”

Tinia asked back in great surprise.

Jeong Do boasted the fastest growth rate among the beings she had ever met.

He is a person who has continued to advance without receiving proper instruction from anyone. Tinia fully agreed with the statement, ‘The world is unfair.’ To Tinia, the person named Jin Jeong-do was that kind of being.

And if he was at the level of teaching such a monster, it was clear that the teacher was also a monster. To be honest, it was hard to imagine her.

“is it. So where is that teacher now?”

“well. Because he is a difficult person to understand. In fact, the reason I’m caught up in this now is because I was looking for him.”

“I wanted to see it once, but it’s a shame. “I can’t help it.”

After saying that, Tinia jumped out of Jeongdo’s arms. She glanced at the degree and she said.

“You have more to see here, right? “Then I will go back first.”

“It’s okay if you follow me.”

“I don’t mind. “I don’t like being in the same space as strangers.”

It was obvious, but her sense of smell was excellent.

She had already noticed that not far from here, Seo-yoon, Hae-sik, and people she did not know were mixed together.

“Okay, see you later then.”

“Ask for fresh beef when you come. “It’s hard to even pretend to eat that dog food.”

After grumbling like that, she started waddling on her four short legs. After watching the scene happily for a while, she went back into her living room.

Click.

“Oh, are you here?”

Sanghee, who had returned from reporting to her superiors, was sitting in the reception room. Her expression was much brighter than before. She said, bowing her head slightly to Jeong Do.

“I heard you went on an expedition, but you returned safely. Fortunately, the.”

“thank you.”

“There were a lot of rude comments earlier. “It was so hectic.”

“it’s okay. “I probably would have done the same.”

I already heard an explanation of the situation from Seo-yoon and Hae-sik.

A monster suddenly appeared and cut the Ancient Wyvern in two with one blow.

It was so obvious that there was no need to guess who the monster was. Jeongdo scratched his head.

‘I had a major accident.’

The good news is that the accident was a very positive one. Cheok Jun-kyung quickly suppressed a crisis that could have easily led to a major accident.

Even after countless years had passed, he was still a hero.

Sanghee asked Jeongdo with a serious expression.

“Mr. Jeongdo. Do you know anyone who can take down an Ancient Wyvern with a single blow? He was similar in height to you, and he was a Korean with messy hair and beard… It’s probably Korean. He revealed himself as a member of the ‘Goryeo’ guild… As far as I know, there is no such talented person in Korea. I asked other people too… ”

Sanghee said that and looked around the audience.

Not only Seo-yoon and Hae-sik, but even Ryu Se-rin and Jin Chang-hu shook their heads. ‘Realize’ was a person that even the ace of Korea’s top guild did not know.

‘Of course it is.’

It’s even weirder if you know.

To be honest, I wasn’t sure whether he would believe me even if I told him the 100% truth. Jeong Do opened his mouth.

“I know.”

“Um, are you sure? korean! You’re Korean, right? “Aren’t you from another country?!”

Sang-hee got excited and shouted at Jeong-do. For her, who belonged to her country, it was more important than anything whether such a strong person belonged to her country or not. This is especially true in today’s reality where high-level gates are pouring in.

However, Jeongdo’s answer was very vague, contrary to her wishes.

“It’s a bit vague to just say it’s Korea, but… But it’s not like any other country. If I had to ask, North Korea?”

Is this North Korea?

The capital of the Goryeo Dynasty was Gaegyeong, and Cheok Jun-gyeong fought against the Jurchen tribe during his lifetime, so geographically, it would be North Korea.

“North Korea? Why are North Koreans here?!”

Sanghee let out an expression of astonishment.

Although we entered the 2030s, the Korean Peninsula was not yet a single country.

Although it is said that the confrontation between North and South Korea has become much less frequent with the advent of humanity’s common enemy called monsters, the relationship is still uneasy.

Although she was not a soldier, she was also a civil servant related to national security. Her embarrassment was natural.

Jeong-do continued calmly.

“calm down. If you have to be specific, it’s North Korea. In fact, I don’t even belong to North Korea. “It is certain that he is from the Korean Peninsula.”

“You don’t belong to South Korea or North Korea, but you’re from the Korean Peninsula? What on earth is that… No, before that, what is your relationship with that man?”

“This is my master.”

“Eh? “Your brother’s master?”

“brother?”

“Huh. Triple S’s teacher.”

This time, not only Sanghee but everyone in the living room was surprised. Sanghee narrowed his eyes and asked Jeongdo.

“As far as I know, you were a member of the Justice Guild and then entered the academy. Did he have a separate teacher?”

“no. We met by chance during this recent expedition. “How did you come across this and become a priest?”

“… ha.”

Sanghee sighed. Because once again the conversation was beyond her understanding.

What does it mean to say that you are from the Korean Peninsula when you neither belong to South Korea nor North Korea, and what does it mean to have accompanied your master on an expedition?

Sang-hee would have thought that he had insulted her if the person who had just brought up the story had not been Jeong-do. It was such an absurd sound.

It was unfair to some extent. Because there hasn’t been a single lie in everything I’ve said so far. Sang-hee, Jin Chang-hoo, Ryu Se-rin, and even Hae-sik were looking at Jeong-do with wide eyes as if wondering what he was talking about.

Of these people, only one, Seo-yoon, nodded and agreed with Jeong-do’s words.

‘okay. I knew it.’

But guess what?

What was said so far was nothing more than a joke compared to what was to come later.

Jeong Do opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“The name of the man the team leader described as a monster is Cheok Jun-kyung. He was a general from the Goryeo Dynasty on the Korean Peninsula about 1,000 years ago. yes. It’s not a descendant, it’s me. ha. is it so. I thought if I said this, you would look at me like that. But what I have said so far is 100% true, without any lies.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

And this time, even Seoyoon tilted her head. Well, he would have reacted that way himself, so it was completely understandable.

Jeongdo shrugged his shoulders and spoke again.

“Freedom to believe or not to believe. He is really Cheok Jun-gyeong himself from the Goryeo Dynasty and a thousand-year-old grandfather. Think simply. Like the monster called Orochi that I defeated, he is just a human being who lives abnormally long. “It’s a world where monsters appear, but people who live long are trivial, right?”

It was a metaphor that was sure to make the person involved angry if they heard it, but unfortunately, Cheok Jun-kyung was not here right now.

Sanghee raised his head and looked at Jeongdo. She looked into his eyes for a moment and then nodded her head.

“To be honest, it’s hard to accept, but I will believe it. “Because it’s what you said.”

“yes. Believe it. Because it’s true.”

“I don’t know the identity, but the force was definitely real. “How strong is he?”

“hmm. I also can’t compete with normal methods. “If you decide to fight against all mankind, you won’t lose.”

“What is it?”

This time, Sanghee chuckled at Jeongdo’s answer, probably thinking it was a joke. Of course, Jeong-do never once told a joke or lie in this room. Including what you just said.

“Speaking of which, is it possible to register your identity? “Of course, he doesn’t have a resident registration card or anything like that.”

“Of course I have to do it. Please come to the association at any time. Preferably before other countries notice him.”

“Thanks to you, I saved an hour. “To be honest, I was at a loss as to how to go through the administrative procedures.”

If Cheok Jun-gyeong had not taken down the wyvern in one blow, things would have been more complicated. Although it was not what Cheok Jun-kyung intended, it was ultimately the best move in every way.

“There’s one more thing I’d like to ask.”

“yes. Mr. Jeongdo. Ask anything.”

“What happened to the brakes from earlier? “I understand that dungeons above SS level usually don’t appear in the city.”

It was just as he said. Dungeons appear randomly throughout the world, but even within that randomness, there are some kind of rules.

One of those rules was that the highest level dungeons above SS level did not appear in densely populated areas.

Dokdo’s Ditarteron dungeon, Mt. Fuji’s SSS-level dungeon, and Britain’s SS-level dungeon also appeared in sparsely populated places.

Scientists on Earth explained that it was because the mana gushing out of the city was in opposition to the mana in the dungeon, but that was just a hypothesis.

And that hypothesis has now been shattered.

Sanghee’s expression darkened at the question.

“It’s not just Korea. About a month ago, SS-class dungeons were created in urban centers around the world. Most of them were closed with a closing system, but those that failed were unavoidable. Korea was one of them.”

“Indeed, that’s why I couldn’t see any other SS class.”

SS-class dungeons are a global disaster. If it explodes incorrectly, the damage will spread not only to the country in question but also to neighboring countries. In other words, SS-class dungeons were an international problem, not a national problem.

So, when an SS-level dungeon occurs, regardless of the location, SS-level users around the world cooperate with each other to clear the dungeon or block the break.

However, as in this case, when SS-class dungeons appeared simultaneously, there was no answer. You can’t go to help another country when your own country is in crisis, right?

“Now that I think about it, I can’t see Hae-joon?”

“Hae-joon and Ellie McDowell do not belong to a country and are traveling to various dungeons. Personally, I would like you to work in Korea… Well, it’s his free will, so I can’t interfere.”

“okay. “Is there any other news?”

Sanghee was deep in thought at the question. And she ‘clapped’ her palm as if she remembered.

“And then a new SSS-level user was born.”

“yes? really?”

“yes. Chinese martial arts. She has newly become SSS level. It is said that she subdued one of the four great monsters of China. However, since there is no solid video evidence like Jeong Do’s and it is only China’s one-sided claim, it has not been officially recognized by the world association.”

“It’s a deadly evil.”

These were monsters that I had even heard of at first glance.

Four monsters that contrast with the famous Shinigami: Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Hyeonmu, and Suzaku. A Shinigami-level youkai could easily be called a great youkai.

‘That’s amazing.’

He had loaded the white grade Susanoo to subdue Orochi. If the Four Demons and Orochi are monsters of the same level, then the martial arts skills are also said to be white level… He honestly thought it didn’t make much sense.

‘No matter how much the experience limit is removed, that doesn’t make sense.’

Now I wonder if I can finally become White level or not. It seemed like he was conceited, but it was difficult to think that there would be someone who would grow faster than him.

I was sure that something else must have played a role in defeating the great monster known as the Four Deaths.

“and… also. Oh, this is recent news, less than two days old. “It looks like a new SS-level user has appeared in the United States.”

“It’s a new SS class following the SSS class. That’s a good thing. “What’s your nickname?”

Usually, users of SS level or higher are given nicknames instead of names. Like ‘Triple S’, China’s ‘Musin’, or Britain’s ‘Arthur’.

Sanghee smiled and answered the question.

“You say you’re a hero? From what I hear, it seems like he’s always wearing the same mask. “It appeared like a comet two days ago and defeated an SS-class monster with its bare hands.”

“Bare hands? “That’s amazing.”

It’s not that there aren’t users who mainly focus on bare-handed fighting… Still, it is very rare. For some reason, I thought I wanted to meet that person.

“Mr. Jeongdo. “Do you have any plans for future expeditions?”

“no. I’m going to focus on the guild for the time being. “I’ve been moving around a lot.”

To some extent, I really thought so.

Unless something else gets in the way.

“okay. In that case, we will collect the wyverns that you and Cheok Jun-kyung processed today and process them. “I will contact you once the processing is complete.”

After seeing Sanghee off, Jeongdo and his companions came out of the reception room. Jin Changhu also went back after saying hello to Jeong Do, and Liu Serin looked like she had something to say, but in the end, she quietly left without saying anything.

Jeong Do, Seoyoon, and Haesik came out of the association. I wanted to relieve myself of the worries I had been feeling, but until a few hours ago, I risked my life to stop the brakes. There was no problem in terms of severity, but it was not for Seo-yoon and Hae-sik. Just looking at them, they looked very tired.

“Go back and get some rest. “I will tell you the next schedule.”

“yes. older brother. It was so nice to see you again after such a long time. “Please tell me about your next expedition.”

“I get it. “Go in carefully.”

Jeong Do and Seo-yoon broke up with Hae-sik and walked down the street together. After walking for a while, a large department store appeared along the main road, and Jeong-do spoke to Seo-yoon.

“Ah, Seoyoon. wait for a sec. “Please wait 3 minutes.”

After saying that, Jeongdo quickly entered the department store. And exactly 3 minutes later. In his hand, which came from a department store, was a set of top-quality Korean beef. Jeong Do handed it to Seoyoon.

“brother. Why is this happening all of a sudden?”

“just. “Do you think you might need it?”

“Now that I think about it, I’ve recently run out of all the meat I put in the refrigerator. “I don’t think I eat it that often.”

“Big. okay?”

I almost burst out laughing when I imagined Tinia waddling around and secretly rummaging through the refrigerator, but I managed to hold it in.

“Anyway, I’ll eat well. brother. See you later then.”

“okay. “Go in carefully.”

Jeong Do saw Seoyoon off. And when she completely disappeared from Jeong-do’s sight, Jeong-do muttered quietly.

“Master. “You can come out now.”

“Hmm. What a pretty woman. “Is that your gaksi?”

“What is each poem? “There is a big age difference.”

“What is a lot? It seemed like there was a difference of about 10 years. “That would be perfect.”

“… “You seem like an old-timer.”

Before he knew it, Cheok Jun-gyeong appeared silently behind Jeong-do and grinned at him. He seemed to really like the outing that he had probably done secretly.

“Where on earth have you been?”

“I felt like I would get caught if I stayed there, so I secretly ran away. “I like fighting, but I hate cleaning up after fights.”

“The class is gangster. really.”

“If I had to pick one, would you be the master? Anyway, I like everything else about this place, but I don’t think we’ll ever have to fight. “A monster like that just wasn’t even worth exercising.”

“Do not worry. There will be a fun fight soon. “Maybe I’ll meet another demon like the one I met in the radio world.”

“It’s a good thing to hear. very good.”

So the two priests slowly walked home, telling a story that would have horrified anyone else in the universe to hear.

“ah.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“I forgot to fix the door. “Because someone destroyed it.”

“… … .”

“And put on some tops. “Everyone else is staring.”

“… … .”

* * * * * *

“Okay then.”

Winry stood up in the darkness. Her naked body was instantly surrounded by darkness and a beautiful black dress appeared.

She seemed to like the dress, holding both ends of the skirt and spinning it around in place. And she smiled beautifully.

“Now that all the actors have gathered, it’s time to raise the curtain.”

I was shaking.

The moment the curtain opened, there was no turning back.

If you succeed, you will shine alone, but if you fail, you will be reduced to nothing more than a light.

It was such a terrible ending for her.

But I had no intention of going back. Because it was an opportunity that I barely got my hands on because miracles coincided with miracles. The universe had heard her earnest prayer.

Winry put her hands together and prayed towards the ‘earth’.

“Miracle from the beginning. “Please save me and us.”

After praying, Winry walked alone in the dark.

No, to be precise, I wasn’t alone.

Bubbling.

Countless shadows that could never be seen because they were in the dark.

He started moving, following Winry’s steps.
