EP.435 The Last Puzzle Piece

I would like to spend my days leisurely surrounded by my loving family, but my position does not allow me to do so.

The world is slowly recovering, and the Korean Peninsula is at the center of it.

Whenever a culture is restored from a destroyed past, the starting point is always us.

The South Korean professional soccer league, which had been on hiatus for over seven years, has been revived, albeit clumsily.

-Damn, what kind of professionals are those guys!

-Hey, sir! Do you think this is baseball? Stop hitting home runs!

-This is the first time in my 30 years of being a soccer fan that I’ve seen a player get kicked out with an injury. This is really crazy.

The crowd reaction started with swearing from the start of the game and ended with swearing.

But even in the midst of all that, there was a smile on everyone’s lips.

-Buy some radish~!

-Selling rat skewers!

There is no chicken, beer, cola, or fries.

However, the Korean Peninsula is the only place in the world where you can watch professional sports while eating something.

It was naturally my role to deliver the first opening ceremony speech.

The speech that Artemis had written was spread throughout the Korean Peninsula and beyond through my voice.

– Surrender! We surrender unconditionally! Please spare us!

Jeju Island surrendered.

To be exact, 60% surrendered and 40% attempted to resist until the end.

However, it was suppressed in an instant by the shelter troops and the Jeju Island allied forces that surrendered.

It was also my voice that declared the end of the civil war on the Korean Peninsula, sending medical supplies and food to the survivors of Jeju Island who were living miserable lives.

-We got it first! Who the hell are you trying to interfere with?

-You fucking brat about coming three hours early! Let’s see if you can say something like that after getting shot in the head.

It is also my job to mediate when there are signs of bloodshed between large powers.

I thought things would get easier once we got the vaccine, but it feels like the less the threat of infectious agents is, the more work there is.

Today was especially busy because we had a party where military commanders from all over the country were invited.

Not only the Korean Peninsula commanders, but also the Russian warlord commanders attended and it seemed like they shook hands about 100 times.

After the party ended past midnight, I took a breather and took a night stroll on the shelter rooftop.

There was nothing more pleasant than having Artemis rub my shoulder and say I had worked hard.

“Is everyone sleeping?”

“I guess so. Seyoung might wait until you get off work.”

Even if I can’t wake up my cute daughters, it’s okay to just carefully look at their sleeping faces.

As I was preparing to leave work with such anticipation, Artemis stopped.

“launching.”

She has a strange expression on her face.

A complicated face that seems like it’s good news, but he’s happy and doesn’t want to tell it.

“what’s the matter?”

“A communication request has come in. It’s a one-way message, to be exact. A recorded letter, perhaps?”

I checked the time.

“It’s almost 1 a.m. What’s the point of sending a message? I’ll listen to it tomorrow. I’m mentally tired today.”

“If I put it off, I’ll regret it.”

“I don’t regret it.”

“Really?”

Artemis smiled. It was strange for her to come out like this.

“Who on earth sent this message?”

She pointed to the sky with her index finger.

When I raised my head, all I could see was the clear night sky. A clear darkness where the stars were pouring down and the bright full moon was revealed, free of pollution.

“It’s not like the other party is communicating from space, so what…”

My face, which had been smiling, froze in place.

“Sir, really?”

“No way. I’ll receive the transmission now.”

After a while.

[It’s been a while.]

A familiar voice. A deep voice that I desperately wanted to hear again.

[Am I a little late?]

“Inspiration!”

From the other end of the communicator, the voice of Inspiration Solaver was heard.

The final puzzle piece of the Tanis Expedition and my friend. A mentor to be admired.

“As I said, this is a recorded one-way message. There are some delays here and there due to technical issues.”

Artemis glared at the communicator as she spoke. It seemed she was still attached to her inspiration.

[I apologize in advance if I have interrupted your good time with Artemis.]

“Anyway, the touch is good.”

Artemis clicked her tongue.

“Don’t hate me too much, sir.”

[No matter what she says, you just stay still. If I were in her shoes, I would do the same. Your wife is a really great spouse.]

“Is this a recorded message?”

How many steps ahead are you looking at? It’s not for nothing that you’ve become a diplomat and the chairman of the Space Federation.

The voice of my grandfather, whom I had not heard in a long time, was as optimistic as ever.

[First of all, let me say that I am safe. The only thing that differs from the others is the arrival coordinates.]

I wondered why the discovery was so late, but it turned out that it simply wasn’t heading towards Earth.

[I was preparing a gift because I felt bad about leaving empty-handed. I should have sent your loyal subordinates right by your side, but I don’t need to do that. I’m already on the bad side of your wife, so I should bring something useful.]

“No, really, it’s fine.”

[You may welcome it, but your wife won’t. She’ll just look at you like, ‘What are you trying to do to my husband again?’ Honestly, I’m a little scared of your wife.]

Even the veteran space 007 is afraid. As expected, she is my wife.

[There is a planet that was being developed just before the infection spread. It is small in size, but it is a place where various resources are dormant. It is not an environment where living things can live, but it is also safe from the infection. There, automated mining facilities extract resources and send them to the mother planets.]

“Oh my! No way?”

Artemis, who was quick-witted, noticed the nuance and made a surprised face.

[With the destruction of the mother planets by a cosmic disaster, unmanned cargo ships full of resources were also waiting. I changed their coordinates to Earth. The resources they contained would be of great help in researching the spaceships that landed. I hope this bribe will appease your wife.]

“Of course.”

Artemis was already brimming with great anticipation and desire.

It’s a world of difference from the calm I was when I was pregnant with our daughter. It’s a bit complicated as a husband and father.

[It took a while to finish this task. The cargo ship’s arrival is expected to take about two months from the time this message is received. The coordinates are for the sea near the shelter, so prepare them.]

At those words, Artemis looked towards the sea. It seemed as if she was already planning a salvage operation.

[I’ll be on that cargo ship too. I look forward to a pleasant reunion.]

“Even if you come empty-handed, the inspiration is always welcome.”

That ended the recorded communication.

“Tch!”

I stretched my body out.

“That damn old man. He’s really good at what he does.”

Contrary to what she said, Artemis’ face seemed filled with anticipation for her master’s arrival.

“Is there anything better than a bribe to improve relations?”

He smiled faintly, put his arm around his wife’s shoulder, and went down to the house.

Things I thought I had lost are coming back to me one by one.

“We finally have an elder in the family.”

“He seems like a man who would be good at raising children.”

The already strange family is about to get even stranger, but their warmth and happiness will increase.

“Your Majesty, you look like you would ride a horse. You’re tall too. Your daughters would love you.”

“He seemed like a gentleman who had no regrets about life, but the cuteness of children can often make even rocks crumble.”

The part of my heart that had been making me uncomfortable was comforted by Artemis’ words.

“Yes, I’m sure it will be. My daughters are the cutest in the universe.”

I think I’ll be able to sleep much better today than usual.

* * *

There is one more person I call inspiration.

“Your Majesty, you will soon be able to see it with your own eyes.”

[Oh, there’s an armored vehicle approaching.]

Mr. Hudson answered over the communicator.

[The old man wants to die in his hometown, but you use a fatal blow.]

“Haha, so you’re not going to see it?”

[Of course you have to see it! You can’t die before you hug your daughters!]

Mr. Hudson is my friend and the person who gave me the clue to recover technology through expedition.

He also communicated with the American survivor network through various means of communication and provided useful information.

I don’t want to see people end up dying in poor shelters without proper care.

But things weren’t going well. The battle between the New California Union and the Mexican warlords was getting more intense, and the call was about to spread to the area where the inspiration was hiding.

-No, sir! It’s a war zone right now. Mexican drug lords could invade at any moment.

-How much longer can I live? Even if I die, I will be buried in my hometown.

Artemis intervened while the old man was getting frustrated with his stubbornness.

-Why are you trying so hard to persuade me? There’s a much simpler way.

There was nothing like a baby’s smile to break the stubbornness of an old man who had lived long enough.

Video chat On.

And ‘smile!’

Luna, who resembles her mother, has pure white skin and twinkling golden eyes and smiles, solved it right away.

-I’ll go right away!

So, Mr. Hudson greeted the convoy of stalkers I had sent from the bunker.

[Mr. Hudson. We have orders to escort you to the shelter.]

[Hey, are these your soldiers?]

The voice of inspiration full of surprises.

[Yes. They are stronger than the T-800. Please take them comfortably.]

The convoy’s sensors detected looters watching nearby, but they did not dare interfere.

They only exchange horrified messages with their own group.

The armored vehicle carrying the inspiration boarded the ocean-crossing warship waiting on the shore and took off powerfully.

“I just remembered, that ship is a one-way trip.”

[Do you think I’m an idiot? I can see what you’re up to.]

Mr. Hudson answered me as if he already knew what I was talking about.

“Oh my, no!”

[I’m just grateful that you’re taking care of the old man like this.]

The voice of the old man speaking frankly contained the loneliness that he had tried to hide.

A future where you die alone in a dark, narrow bunker without meeting anyone. No matter how important your hometown is, who would like that?

“There is no such thing as a free lunch. You have to come and give our daughters a ride.”

[Leave it to me. Childcare is my specialty. But you have three daughters and three mothers! You really are an amazing man. Managing a household must not be easy.]

“It’s okay. The landlady is very good at managing military affairs. If you need anything while you’re on the way, just ask the lady who’s accompanying you.”

[…Honestly, I’m a little scared to ask for anything.]

Mr. Hudson whispered.

“On the outside, he seems like a very kind and honest kid.”

I whispered back.

“Hippolyte? Please take care of your spirit.”

[I will serve you with all my heart.]

A quiet voice came from the other end of the communication line.

So another favorite was added to my PDA.

A shelter warship that cuts powerfully through the waves off the Pacific coast of the United States.

Another puzzle piece to complete happiness is coming your way.

They come from space, and they come from across the sea.
