Chapter 314
Episode 314
After Horus disappeared with a powerful flap of his wings, Yongyong spoke to me.
[Did you say that on purpose?]
“What?”
[I heard his expression got worse after hearing about the dog’s existence?]
“Oh, that.”
What Yongyong says is because he revealed the existence of the dog to Horus.
I was wondering why, but Horus, who found out about the existence of the dog, has his competitive spirit burning brightly.
“Of course I said it on purpose.”
[Was that something like that?]
“That way, the two guys will compete for loyalty to impress me.”
Doggy: This guy has been released a lot these days and has become an eyesore. If Horus shows a quick and competitive spirit, he will also feel a sense of crisis. All I have to do is watch the two monsters’ antics in the middle and take advantage.
I heard that it was originally a loyalty competition like this.
[Have you not thought about the two of you joining forces to fight against you?]
“That could be possible.”
[Is that what you thought?]
“Since it tried to bite its owner, we can definitely educate it.”
If it attacks, you, as the owner, have not managed your pet properly, so just step on it until it comes to its senses.
“But I won’t attack you.”
[Well, I know how selfish the dog is, but I guess I can’t attack it. The problem is that he is a new recruit and he is very perceptive.]
Then Yongyong spoke as if he realized something.
[Did you really mean it all?]
“I just thought you would listen well.”
It is a beautiful structure in which they collide with each other and compete for loyalty.
“If you want to pamper yourself more, this is the best way.”
[Wow….]
Yongyong is impressed. I too was admiring the way I thought.
Doggy and Horus are people who will be of great help in solidifying my influence in the future. When the two of you fight, it will be of great help if you remain loyal to me even if you fight.
I only tamed one monster this time, so I’ll have to look into whether I can tame more monsters.
[If you look for it, you will find it.]
“It won’t be easy to find.”
[Yes.]
It’s a hassle for me to search for each monster, so I’ll have to try whenever I see one.
After giving orders to Horus, I returned to Seoul. The aftereffects of high-speed flight were still severe, but I felt like I was getting used to it the more I used it.
First, I need to place an order for the type of clothes.
I think it would be a good idea to quickly secure some body strengthening gifts.
Since a gift is a gift, it feels like there is a lot to do.
We had almost arrived in Seoul and were passing through China.
I could see gunfire ringing out in succession and the awakened people fighting intertwined.
“There’s still fighting here.”
[You started the fight.]
Yongyong immediately crosses the line.
“You have to say it right away. I was only talking about one possibility. “Those guys made the choice.”
[Isn’t that worse?]
“It’s the guys who started the fight that are responsible for the fight.”
[The real you is new every time.]
I arrived in Seoul after a long time, passing through a land filled with the energy of death.
Looking at it like this, I think you can see how much better Seoul has become to live in.
I need to take a break while dealing with the villains that are creeping up on me.
[Since when did that become a rest?]
* * *
I took a long-awaited rest while staying in Seoul. Taking a break here means just doing what I have to do without any particular outside activities.
He visited my team’s office and received reports on various projects, and for the first time in a long time, he appeared on an Internet broadcast.
In fact, Internet broadcasts lost much of their meaning as the fandom was formed, but they still showed their faces whenever they had time.
There’s nothing special to say, but Jin Se-jeong says something strange about my face being welfare.
Still, I couldn’t just sit still, so I created content on how to use the Force and how to avoid dying easily in a crisis.
This is surprisingly well received. I also feel like I am passing on know-how.
[Do you think you like giving?]
I guess I have that side of me.
[Couldn’t we learn from human villains too?]
A guy who commits crimes will train very diligently.
Anyway, the know-how is widely spread and it won’t be a big problem if I teach you a few things.
Anyway, the story of the broadcast ends here.
Meanwhile, Jin Se-jeong expressed her anger by saying that fans were reacting strongly to her forcing her ideology.
It was very different from the direction I had thought.
“…is that really the case?”
“No, the fans are ready to accept whatever appearance Choin shows. It’s very generous and ideal! “In fact, he said he learned more about Choin and became a passionate fan.”
“….”
“After all, you are a superhuman. “You were looking one step further than me!”
“It’s not like that.”
“Awesome!”
It seems like what I was trying to do to make them somewhat less friendly somehow had the opposite effect.
Jin Se-jeong was very motivated, saying that she would make more fans agree with her thoughts. I don’t think I’ll listen to you trying to stop me.
I felt like if I talked further, a project beyond my imagination would emerge, so I took a strategic retreat.
In the next room, Jung Joo-ho is still concentrating on his project to become a superman.
Perhaps because he had been training hard or because time had passed, more of Jung Joo-ho’s hair had fallen out, and what was left was in a precarious state.
I would have to become a superhuman as soon as possible.
[It seems to me like he’s enjoying it, right?]
I was wondering if he would be happy even if he lost all his hair and became a superhuman.
Of course, behind the scenes, I had a great desire for things to go well.
Is it because Jung Joo-ho also feels a sense of crisis? He was training with great enthusiasm.
“You can’t be later than Dahyun.”
It was an impatience that he couldn’t be overtaken by his nephew.
As I was looking at Joo-ho Jeong, this thought came to mind. Humans have a very tough life force, so when they are pushed into extreme situations, their survival instinct kicks in and they become stronger.
Maybe the hair roots are similar? The kind where when there is a sense of crisis that everything could be destroyed, the remaining ones unite even more strongly.
[Can you say that?] It
’s pretty plausible, isn’t it?
I think I could give it a try.
[stop! There aren’t many of those humans left!]
Strangely enough, Yongyong comes forward and screams. Why do I empathize so much?
Are you losing hair too?
[Wow, that’s crossing the line.]
* * *
While I was traveling overseas, the presidential election was advancing rapidly. Chun Myung-guk became the ruling party’s presidential candidate with an overwhelming margin of votes, and is comfortably leading in the two-party competition with an approval rating of a whopping 60%.
Even though he has no political experience, he is praised for his excellent sense of stability.
“Director Cheon Myeong-guk? “I think that person will do really well.”
Even Yunhee, who was not particularly interested in politics, said that.
When I asked him why he thought that, he seemed like he hadn’t thought much about it.
“First of all, speaking is stable. The answer comes quickly to any issue. Normally, when you first get into politics, you feel foolish, but Director Myeong-Guk Cheon doesn’t have anything like that, does he?”
The biggest advantage of having a simulation gift was being fully demonstrated.
“The support level around me is also high. Director Cheon Myeong-guk is much better for awakened people.”
Hyun Young-mi, the opposition presidential candidate, is advocating strong control by the awakened party, but Cheon Myeong-guk has declared that he will continue the current administration’s stance.
Although the current administration is calling for limited control, the level of tolerance is being expanded in many areas, so the satisfaction of awakened people is high.
“Besides, you’ve said a lot of nice things about me, right?”
“Is that so?”
“huh. They openly declared that they would inherit the good policies of this government. Since our country is going well, I will continue to develop good things rather than make sudden changes. And you mainly talked about how to deal with your brother.”
Under normal circumstances, you might think that Cheon Myeong-guk has no philosophy of his own, but public support for the current administration is very high.
The number of villains has decreased noticeably, and the invasion of monsters is no longer a concern. In addition, the food shortage was improved by recovering the territory and securing the heart of the monster, and the territory expanded dramatically by advancing north.
Lastly, the quality of life has improved significantly due to regular oil supply.
Looking at it this way, I’ve accomplished a lot.
“Instead, it’s a bomb that might explode at any moment.”
“I’m not a bomb anymore.”
“No one else thinks that way at all? “What’s worse is that the topic of the presidential candidate debate is asking how to prevent my brother from exploding.”
Director Cheon Myeong-guk is the person who can best manage Choi Jun-ho’s risks, so his approval rating is high or something.
Those are shocking words.
[Why is it shocking? I completely understand.]
In the meantime, Yongyong goes to the Kan tribe.
That’s something I don’t really like.
“I think the most important thing is for my brother not to go wild. So much so that the entire nation is interested. “If I can just do that, I’ll be respected as a successful president, right?”
“….”
Even my family is like this.
My appetite was bitter.
* * *
“Haha.”
Cheon Myeong-guk looked at me and smiled awkwardly.
When I bring up what Yoonhee said, I can neither confirm nor deny it. I guess it was true. I thought it would no longer be a problem as I came to my senses and the frequency of accidents decreased significantly, but this is shocking.
“You talked about me a lot.”
“In fact, seeing you like this would be a turn-over for candidate Hyun Young-mi.”
They say my influence has become stronger to that extent. Honestly, I don’t know.
Anyway, that’s what I am, right?
[That’s probably because you’re not interested.]
The person who points that out speaks as if he’s interested.
“What’s wrong with meeting someone you’re close to?”
“It’s such an urgent matter over there. To that extent, Mr. Choi Jun-ho plays an important role in the presidential election.”
This means that every time there is an election, movement will be restricted.
Of course, I have no intention of moving as intended.
“If things continue like this, it looks like winning will be easy. What do you think?”
“I’m still dazed. “I had no idea I would be in politics, and I never even thought about reaching such a high position.”
Well, in my last life, after working at the Blue House, Cheon Myeong-guk focused on his role in driving me out through a grand compromise. Other than that, he didn’t hold any significant public office.
In some ways, I think he is the one who has changed the most since I returned to the past.
“Please take care of me in the future. “Prospective President-elect.”
“I’m trying not to get excited yet. We are also requesting this from the camp. “I will hear your congratulations after all the results are out.”
“Of course.”
If you look at the current opinion poll results, it seems like they couldn’t lose even if they wanted to.
Because Cheon Myeong-guk’s approval rating was a whopping 63%.
“63% is great, but if it’s 70%, you’ll feel more empowered, right?”
“That’s right. “If you put your mind to it, you can do anything.”
“Then I hope it exceeds 70%.”
“Yes, but.”
Cheon Myeong-guk looked at me with a suspicious expression.
“Then let’s do it like this. “I will declare my support.”
“yes? Superhuman?”
“At this point, we are definitely solidifying our victory.”
“….”
He is a person whose fate is going through a big change because of me, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to step forward and make sure he gets elected.
“Hmm.”
Cheon Myeong-guk, who was drooling, did not answer. Looking at the subtle force flow, I was able to guess that a simulation was being cast.
Surely the result will be to solidify victory, right?
“sorry.”
huh?
“Is this a refusal rather than an acceptance?”
“yes. “I guess my last conscience won’t allow it.”
I don’t think that’s the case.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at Cheon Myeong-guk. Then he turns away from my gaze.
“They must have used a simulation.”
“no.”
“I sensed force movement.”
“It’s an illusion.”
“I think the results have definitely come out.”
“….”
Cheon Myeong-guk did not answer. I feel frustrated just looking at it.
No, wouldn’t it be better to win at 70% rather than at 60%?
How could a politician who would do anything for approval ratings turn down this great opportunity? I didn’t understand.
[Maybe it’s the other way around?]
What are you talking about?
[Why do you think your declaration of support will help your approval rating?]
Of course it will help. Cheon Myeong-guk is feeling frustrated because of his own principles. Are you saying this because you don’t know that?
[There is a bit of a misunderstanding.]
