Chapter 244
Episode 244
While I was expressing my positive thoughts, a special envoy from Japan arrived.
He was in his early 40s and had a southern appearance that was different from other Japanese people. He revealed that he was from Okinawa.
“Superman Choi Jun-ho! “My name is Tamaki.”
“Nice to meet you.”
After briefly saying hello.
Tamaki seemed to be in a hurry and got straight to the point.
“Currently, Japan needs the power of Superhuman Choi Jun-ho. Please save Okinawans from hell!”
And the behavior shown was unexpected.
thud!
Tamaki did a dogeza and asked me for a favor. The President and Cheon Myeong-guk clearly looked embarrassed by the sudden action.
Actually, I just silently watched that behavior. Pretending to be weak and creating a loophole in the other person’s mind is a very common strategy. There is no reason for my heart to waver or to feel dizzy with this.
“Please wake up.”
“Please help…”
“I’m saying this because talking in that position is not helpful.”
“What do you mean?”
Tamaki, full of anticipation, raised his head and made eye contact with me.
Apart from Dogeza, I was planning on helping anyway. It’s more in line with my interests than feeling sorry for the Okinawan people, but isn’t a good thing a good thing?
“Let me help you.”
“Are you sure? thank you! Thank you again!”
thud! thud! He was banging his head, so we decided to stop him and talk about the next item on the agenda.
My interest is about plus-level monsters that appeared in Okinawa.
In response to this, Tamaki said that he suddenly appeared one day and was laying waste to the coast of Okinawa.
There are times when monsters appear on the coast, but there was something strange about them appearing like this without any warning.
It definitely looks like he’s hiding something.
Tamaki thought he was in the same boat, but he also agreed to raise this question.
“I also think there is something strange about it. We are currently requesting a detailed response from the government, but have not received a satisfactory response.”
“Why don’t you share information with the special envoy?”
“Maybe it’s because I’m from Okinawa.”
The answer comes after a bitter laugh.
At first, I didn’t know what was wrong, but I understood that there was discrimination from the mainland.
That’s why it is said that there is a temperature difference in Okinawa’s salvation.
We are waging a difficult war.
“We promise to share additional information as it becomes available.”
“Of course.”
Locally, it is called Aoi Wazawai, which means blue disaster. They say it looks exactly like a marlin, but since its name is long, I should just call it a marlin.
but.
There were not many cases where marine monsters appeared out of nowhere like this.
There seems to be something hidden inside.
However, unless a satisfactory answer comes from Tamaki, it is bound to be difficult to understand the inside story.
I need to go to the local area and find out.
“When we’re ready, we’ll go straight to Okinawa.”
“Are you sure?”
“If I stop by the mainland and visit, won’t it take more time? Tamaki, please convey this to the Prime Minister.”
“All right! Thanks again for your help!”
“And it also helps us figure out what’s going on.”
“Of course.”
That’s how the conversation with Tamaki ended.
I’m looking forward to seeing how effective force refining will be on plus-level monsters.

On the day the Japanese envoy returned, Choi Jun-ho also went out to hunt monsters. It was a much faster movement compared to other times. The president did not stop the expedition when Choi Jun-ho said that he had something to test against monsters.
Discussions were already underway behind the scenes about what kind of compensation should be received from Japan.
The government’s role is only to extract compensation.
Because Choi Jun-ho took an active role, we ended up earning a little more than expected, but there was no regret as the profits would not have occurred without him.
“There’s something about moving fast.”
“Maybe I got a gift.”
“Are you a saint?”
“That is very likely.”
“A gift given by God? “Does that mean even God can’t touch it?”
“It seems like you took a bit of a leap.”
“But it doesn’t really feel like it’s wrong.”
Even a gift given by God can be copied. It didn’t hit me that I was afraid of divine punishment, but I could see how great Choi Jun-ho’s distribution was.
“There is no need to worry because Choi Jun-ho is a superhuman.”
“He is like that too. “I don’t worry when the opponent is a god, but it would be strange to worry about a plus-level sea monster.”
“I actually don’t think anything will happen.”
“Do you want to tell me you’re worried about me buying it?”
“Is that possible?”
“But it’s not wrong.”
The existence of a superman who could exert a strong influence on the general public made it possible to lay a diplomatic foundation. Choi Jun-ho’s presence gave Korea a huge advantage.
“Something is being done in Japan. “I need to figure it out.”
“The superhuman was lost without being able to find the essence of the artificial divine beast. “He’s been keeping quiet since then, but I think he’s been sharpening his sword behind the scenes.”
“It would be even more so since they would have been watching us fight in the meantime.”
The Japanese government must be feeling a serious sense of crisis as it watches South Korea’s success.
“But what’s interesting is that the Japanese government isn’t looking for Choi Jun-ho either.”
“I think I would have done the same.”
“why?”
“Superman Choi Jun-ho has become a burden for the Japanese government to swallow. If used well, it becomes an ineffective elixir, but if handled slightly incorrectly, it becomes a fatal poison that poisons everyone. “It appears that the Japanese government has given up on the idea of dealing with Choi Jun-ho as a superhuman.”
“Hearing those words reminds me of all the hardships I’ve gone through so far.”
“Ah…”
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk looked back on their memories from the time they accepted Choi Jun-ho until now.
Although each of us is going through the twilight and adulthood of our lives, the time spent with Choi Jun-ho felt the longest.
There were so many incidents that it was so jumbled up in my head that I couldn’t put it all together.
“Now you have to handle that bomb. “Are you okay?”
“You can.”
“For that reason, your expression doesn’t look very good. “I feel sorry for no reason.”
“it’s okay. “Even though it’s a shame that I’ve seen blood in his stool, I will hold on to Choi Jun-ho and use him frugally.”
Although his voice was full of confidence, Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression was clouded.
The president, feeling like a heavy burden had been passed on to him, tapped Cheon Myeong-guk on the shoulder with a sad expression.
“Think of the next runner and cheer up.”
“it’s okay. “As the next president, I will attempt to amend the constitution, change the system to a two-term term, and renew the contract with Choi Jun-ho.”
In that case, the new president will be with Choi Jun-ho throughout his term, assuming he is elected for a second term.
“….”
The president was speechless after hearing the evil plan.

The road to Okinawa was quite annoying. Departing from Busan, passing through Tsushima Island and heading to Okinawa, monsters attacked more than five times.
I wondered if these guys were sane, but what I felt while hunting was that they were somewhat confused.
[The ecosystem is in disarray.]
“Did you feel it too?”
[Usually in cases like this, it is the predator who stirs up the mess.]
Yongyong explained that there is no reason for a predator to do that.
The vast sea was not narrow enough for high-ranking monsters to compete for territory. There were occasional clashes over good locations, but most of them were stable.
[Especially because it’s not far from Hyuna’s territory, it’s a relatively more stable place. This kind of chaos should be under control by Hyuna, but something is strange.]
“Something has gone wrong.”
After listening to Yongyong speak, I understand roughly what the situation is. It doesn’t matter to me. Thanks to this, I was able to test the power of force refining against sea monsters.
Even if there was an obstacle called the sea, the hole in the monster’s head was the same.
But it was also inconvenient not to be free in the sea. Should I have asked Hyuna for the blessing that Doggie received?
Woof woof!
The guy who caught my eye was joking, but in my eyes, it only seemed like the deception of someone with wealth.
Should I have dropped it in the sea to develop the blessing?
“…for a moment.”
Now that I think about it, if the blessing that Hyuna gave to the dog was like a gift, wouldn’t it be possible to copy it with the blood of the dog’s heart?
If you copy it, there’s no reason to be jealous, right?
It was a sudden thought, but this seemed quite possible.
…bruise!
The dog that met my gaze slowly backed away, probably feeling anxious.
Even so, the yacht was narrow compared to the size of the dog. It’s not like they’re going to eat it right now, but they’re acting scared.
I wanted to try it right away, but it’s still too early.
This is something to be dealt with slowly after everything is done.
It’s also a situation where Mandeuk and Gwangsim haven’t properly trained new recruits yet.
When I arrived in Okinawa by yacht, the coast was already devastated, as if a war had taken place.
It’s rare for monsters to destroy things so persistently, but it seemed clear that there was an inside story that I didn’t know about.
Meanwhile, I arrived in Okinawa.
According to Tamaki, it was isolated and they were able to enter the island without difficulty. I tried to deal with it as soon as I saw it, but what is this?
When we docked the ship and got off, the awakened people from Okinawa came out and asked us to wait a moment. After a while, the person in charge appeared.
He was a man in his mid-50s with bronze skin and a sturdy build. He greeted me in fluent Korean.
“This is Governor Josuke of Onikawa Prefecture. Thank you for coming a long way. Choi Jun-ho is superhuman!”
“Nice to meet you.”
After shaking his hand, I asked him how he knew how to speak Korean, and he said that there was a craze for the Korean language among high-ranking Japanese people these days.
If you don’t want to die from being misunderstood when you run into me, you need to learn how to say a few words?
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Unless he’s a villain, there’s nothing to misunderstand.
[The people being attacked wouldn’t think that way, right?]
First, we moved to our seats to talk in detail.
The atmosphere in downtown Naha was chaotic. And the entire building was destroyed, so I wondered if the evacuees were causing the commotion, but Josuke said that wasn’t the case.
“This monster is destroying not only the coast, but also the city by throwing other sea monsters.”
It is said that the entire Okinawa is engulfed in fear due to the marlin’s persistent attacks.
“Is there no help from the mainland?”
Anger appeared on Josuke’s face.
“…They only say they will help, but they are putting off providing help. The mainland people don’t seem willing to sacrifice anything to protect this place!”
Local people were spewing out fiery anger, saying that they were bearing the brunt of the damage.
First, I decided to have Josuke share with me the details of my investigation into this monster.
“The monster was moving strangely.”
“yes. That’s right. “This guy is treating Okinawa as if it were our enemy.”
“You don’t know anything?”
“doesn’t exist. Originally, that guy was a monster that lived closer to the Philippines than here and had no ties to this place at all. “But 10 days ago, it suddenly appeared and started destroying everything on the coast.”
It was as if the end of the world had come. The islanders were stranded on the island overnight and were filled with fear as they never knew when a monster’s throwing attack would be attempted.
Although there has been a brief rest now, it is said that if you try to leave the island, they will recognize you like a ghost and attack you. As of now, there are no more ships to escape to.
It looks peaceful at first glance, but Josuke explained that this would not last long.
“The fact that they invade this place means they have a target.”
Josuke agreed with my guess.
“There is one fact that can be inferred from several facts.”
“What is it?”
“Although Aoi Wazawai destroyed the coast, it stayed in one spot and searched, and each time, the number of sea monsters on the coast increased explosively. “It gives the impression that you are looking for something.”
“Looking for it?”
“yes.”
At first, they thought it was a simple attack. However, seeing the persistent attacks continuing as if they were dealing with Marshal Cheolcheon, they speculated that this side may have provided the cause.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for a monster that had been staying in its territory for several years to come here and run amok.
“There is speculation that it was pushed back due to a territorial dispute.”
“This doesn’t explain the behavior you’re seeing.”
“Even the experts said so.”
Above all, if a plus-level monster loses out in a battle for territory, that fact is even scarier.
Even if you can’t do it, it’s a stronger plus level monster. In the worst case, it’ll be a horned monster.
Of course, since Hyuna is there, I know that that possibility doesn’t exist.
“This is just a guess, though.”
Josuke kept his voice quiet and looked around as if someone was spying on him before speaking to me.
“It looks like Aoi Wajiwai is looking for her cub.”
It was a smelly word.
