The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 79



Only Noblemtl

Episode 79

【 Navy 】

At the harbor, mermaids who resemble Mary and Jude were causing a ruckus.

They were destroying everything in sight, including the docking facilities, and were also attacking people.

It looked as if hungry wild dogs or bears had raided the village.

Whenever people resisted with weapons, the mermaids would hide in the water and then come out to attack again.

There were holes drilled here and there in the floor like breathing holes.

It’s like we’ve entered a guerrilla base, we can’t win like this.

If we waited until Hallasan Lake came, the damage would have been too great.

Bomi took out her bow and asked.

“Shall we go mermaid hunting?”

“No. The Trash Island will turn around if there is a mermaid.”

If the trash were simply collected by the currents, so many people would not be able to make a home on the garbage island and live freely.

The mermaids were able to maintain stable ground because they piled up trash like birds build a nest.

In addition, he was in charge of guiding ships to come and go in rough currents.

Without them, it wouldn’t have been surprising if Trash Island had disintegrated at any moment.

“Then what should we do?”

Bomi snapped her fingers at Jinman’s question.

“I had a good idea. Let’s use the term ‘Mini-Man-Gye.’”

“Handsome guy? I may be handsome, but would a mermaid understand my manliness?”

“Hey! Not Oppa. Mister! Don’t you remember Mary and Jude?”

“Ah! That’s right. It’ll be okay if you step forward, hyung!”

Jinman looked at me, holding back laughter.

“You guys, are you trying to make fun of me by laying out a mat?”

“Hey! How dare I tease you, sir. I just wanted to calm this down quickly. Hehe.”

Bomi burst out laughing.

“Okay. I’ll show you that I don’t discriminate between races when it comes to handsome guys.”

I stepped forward, exaggerating my words as if I was joking.

Besides the ring, I had a secret weapon.

He took out the trident he was carrying on his back and struck the ground hard.

As I slammed the trident, which was almost as tall as me, onto the ground, a loud thud vibrated through the ground.

However, Bomi and others did not feel the vibration and remained unmoved.

The mermaids, on the other hand, reacted immediately.

As if we had been practicing, the mermaids’ gazes turned to me simultaneously.

“Wow! The concentration is good too.”

Bomi said teasingly.

“But the atmosphere seems a bit cold.”

The expressions on the mermaids’ faces as they looked at me were different from those of Mary and Jude.

If the two of them had an aura of affection and clinging to the handsome neighborhood older brother, the mermaids’ expressions and atmosphere now were fearful and tense, as if they were dealing with a tiger teacher.

Why are you doing that?

While I was wondering what to do about the completely unexpected reaction, a large wave suddenly crashed into the harbor.

Although the tide was flowing, the inner harbor was always calm because a breakwater was built on the outer harbor.

That’s why it was a very unusual wave.

Startled by the waves, the mermaids suddenly bowed their heads toward me and knelt down.

“Hey! What’s wrong? Those human fish!”

Bomi was more surprised than I was because she said it wasn’t a mermaid, but a human fish.

Is it because of this trident?

No other plausible reason came to mind besides the trident.

If that’s the case, things will be easily sorted out.

I spoke, imitating the speech of a king I had seen in a historical drama.

“What are you all doing so shamelessly?”

“sorry.”

The mermaids bowed their heads even more and apologized.

Okay. As expected, the king game worked.

I clenched my fist that wasn’t holding the trident.

“Hey, explain to Jim what happened!”

The mermaid closest to my chin lifted her head and looked at me.

“Are you talking about Miranda?”

Miranda? Who is that?

Are you referring to yourself in the third person like Jude?

I nodded and said.

“Okay, Miranda. You tell me.”

“Miranda is hungry and came to find the Queen.”

“Your Majesty?”

“Yes. Please find the Queen.”

Hyang-i said that the queen fed the children junk food, cigarettes, and alcohol, which caused the children to become mentally and physically abnormal.

But the children were so addicted to them that they did not dare to resist the queen.

The older mermaids who were not addicted and potential queen candidates protested, but they were all ignored and they were eliminated one by one.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll find it for you. But what are you going to do about the mess you’ve made in the harbor and the people you’ve hurt?”

“that…….”

Miranda hesitated for a moment, then suddenly pointed behind her.

“Miranda didn’t do it. Stella and Ashley did it.”

“Who are you trying to dump on XX now? You want to die!”

“Aww! I didn’t do it! Harley over there did.”

The harbor became noisy as the mermaids passed the blame to each other.

Jiyeon gave the mermaids names that sound like they came out of a Harlequin novel.

“Stop it, be quiet!”

When I struck down my trident, the mermaids flinched and shut their mouths.

The waves crashed hard again.

This time I adjusted the intensity so it didn’t go all the way in like last time.

“Miranda, Stella, Ashley, Ali… you all didn’t do it?”

The mermaids nodded to my question.

“But the fact that there is a port like this that is broken and damaged means that one of my colleagues must have done it. Is that right?”

The mermaids nodded again.

“Well then. How about helping your friend who had an accident? Fixing the damaged port? What do you think?”

“great!”

The mermaids nodded and got to work.

He jumped into the water, pulled out the sunken items, and started stacking them up.

The lost coastline and docking facilities were rebuilt.

“Wow! Dude! You turned those rascal mermaids into good kids. You have amazing charisma. Clap clap!”

Bomi clapped her hands in genuine admiration.

Jin Man-do also stuck out his tongue.

“Is there anyone in the world who can handle mermaids this well?”

“thank you.”

“Thanks to you, I survived.”

Even people who were attacked by mermaids expressed their gratitude to me.

Bomi Jinman and I used the first aid kit that Nurse Jang had given us to treat the injured people.

After the emergency measures were completed and the port maintenance was completed, the mermaids and the Hallasan ship appeared.

“Oppa Jungwoo!”

Bomi waved happily.

People were amazed at the Hallasan ship entering the port without the guidance of a mermaid.

On the other hand, the mermaids showed interest in the mermaids following behind Hallasan Lake.

Mermaids including Hyang-i, Mary, and Jude were swimming toward us.

The mermaids were constantly floundering, as if they were not good swimmers, unlike mermaids.

Every time, Hyang-i, Mary, and Jude helped them.

Mary and Jude seemed to be getting along quite well, laughing and playing pranks with the mermaid.

Bomi said something while watching that scene.

“What the heck! They’re dating. I couldn’t even play with Jungwoo oppa, and we fought with all our might.”

“But maybe it’s because we’re dating, we both got prettier.”

As Jinman said, Jude lost a lot of weight, and Mary’s skin, which looked like it had mud on it, got much better.

Romance may have had an effect, but diet may have played a big role.

I asked Nurse Jang to stop me from eating junk food and from drinking or smoking.

Instead, he asked me to feed him seaweed.

Seaweed was originally the main food source for mermaids.

The mermaids were muttering.

“Isn’t that Mary and Jude?”

“Oh. It seems like things have changed a bit. Looking at that unlucky behavior, it’s Mary, and the squealing is exactly like that.”

“By the way, what about the kids next to Jude and Mary?”

“It seems different from us, but it’s also similar.”

“Who could it be?”

The mermaids showed interest in the water mermaid as if they were women peeping outside from inside a wall.

But I didn’t approach him, whether out of embarrassment or caution.

I told the mermaids.

“Do you know that humans are divided into men and women?”

“yes.”

“You are women by human standards.”

“We are not women. We are mermaids.”

“Yes. A mermaid. But does it look like a man? Or a woman?”

“Um. A woman.”

“Then what kind of humans do they resemble?”

“I’m a man.”

“That’s the difference. They’re male mermaids. When you see humans, men and women have fun together. You can have fun together like that. See? Mary, Jude playing?”

At my words, the mermaids slowly approached the water mermaids.

Soon they became friends and started playing together.

The ship dropped anchor and docked.

As the landing ladder came down, Bomi ran and jumped on Jeongwoo.

Jungwoo was startled and dodged.

Bomi, who flew through the air without anyone to receive her, landed alone.

Nurse Jang, Jin Man, and I all burst into laughter.

Bomi said, glancing at Jeongwoo.

“What is it, Oppa? Are you running away like this?!”

“Uh… I was momentarily flustered. And there are other people too.”

“I was thinking only about you as I was on the verge of death. Do other people’s opinions matter that much?”

“Sorry, sorry.”

When Jungwoo apologized, Bomi reluctantly accepted it.

Nurse Jang told me.

“I heard from Hyunwoo’s father that Detective Kim caught the snake monster. I saw that huge monster from the east too. I was surprised when I saw it spitting fire. But you caught it. You’re amazing.”

“Yes. I managed to catch one somehow. You must have had a hard time feeding seaweed to those two pups.”

I pointed to Mary and Jude, who were playing cheerfully.

“Oh, yes. It was quite hard, but how can it compare to catching a monster? Still, the kids got healthy after eating the seaweed.”

At that moment, Hyang-i swam over to me.

Hyang-i looked up at me as if she was surprised.

“No, how did you make those brats like Thunderbolts into such docile lambs?”
