“… .”

The dragon fell down holding the back of its neck and lost consciousness. Dawn and Sis were speechless when they saw her tongue hanging out of her snout.

A confused woman asked, ‘Should I call an ambulance?’ That’s when she came up with a silly idea.

“Gagging!”

A choking sound came from behind me. When I turned my head, I saw that a superhuman named Yamauchi had strangled the Communist Party Chairman and knocked him unconscious.

“… “If you want to die, do whatever you want.”

When Dawn asked as she drew her sword, Yamauchi put both hands on his head.

“No, you can’t fight someone who defeated a dragon without lifting a finger.”

“… .”

“I thought this communist friend was going to make a lot of noise, so I suppressed him for a moment.”

After saying that, Yamauchi took out a cigarette from the breast pocket of his agent uniform and put it in his mouth.

“It certainly doesn’t seem to be on Korea’s side. “There is no way those crazy about anti-communism would raise Dzhugashvili like any other person.”

“… .”

Crackling, he lit a cigarette and continued speaking.

“I’m sorry that things got a little weird because of the boss. Phew, but please understand. Our boss has been suffering so much from Korea that he’s a bit out of his mind… .”

He trailed off, placing his finger on his temple and twirling it.

It wasn’t a gesture that a loyal subordinate would make, but his next words contained some loyalty.

“Still, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to continue the conversation like this. Is that okay?”

“As long as it’s just conversation.”

“Thank you. “Your generosity is generous.”

After speaking up to that point, Yamauchi fiddled with the earphone type radio.

“Can I use the communication? “I think I need to call someone.”

“follow your heart. But if you’re thinking of calling the security guards to fight… “You will regret it.”

Dawn did not end with words. He placed his paw on the stunned dragon’s head and aimed his sword.

A look that could knock out the dragon’s eye at any moment. However, Yamauchi connected the communication as if he wanted to stab someone somewhere.

“This is Guardian… errand… In rare… Caught this morning… Oh, and… .”

He was muttering under his breath and suddenly asked Dawn a question.

“Do you have a favorite ice cream flavor?”

“… what?”

“Ice cream. Our company makes it pretty well. Made with the best ingredients. Sumitomo Ice Cream of Faith. “Don’t you know?”

“… .”

Is this person as strange as the dragon? While Dawn was massaging her eyebrows, Sis secretly raised her hand and answered.

“I like green tea.”

“Miss, green tea… Then I’ll take care of the rest.”

Immediately after, he gave a few more instructions over the radio and hung up the radio. It was a very natural action, and at the same time, it was also an action without tension.

Maybe it’s his way of reducing tension as much as possible.

Anyway, when he finished communicating, only the groans of the dragon and the communists rang through the underground lair.

And the silence that follows.

Dawn asked to break the awkward silence.

“You seem less embarrassed than I thought. “The boss fainted.”

“If you live with a dragon, your liver will grow. And above all… “I’m used to this kind of thing.”

“… “You’re used to it?”

As soon as Dawn raised her eyebrows, he shrugged.

“Overwork, overdrinking, overeating, and lack of sleep affect both humans and dragons.”

“… .”

“Fortunately, it ended in fainting. If the boss was an ordinary middle-aged man, he would have died long ago, right? “If you look at it from the side, it seems like it’s still alive.”

It was a somewhat realistic and yet familiar complaint. Even the cleaners used to cut down on their drinking, saying their health wasn’t what it used to be.

The problem was that the opponent was a dragon.

“If you’re this size, you’ll hear people say you drink too much and eat too much… How much are you eating? As much as Ranal?”

While Sith muttered that and Dawn promised herself that she would have to check on Orse Ranal’s health when she returned to the academy.

Ding dong—

The elevator opened and familiar security guards entered.

Contrary to Dawn’s worries that bullets would rain down immediately, the security guards did not bring any weapons worthy of military service.

Instead, three communists with their arms and legs tied… They brought along camping chairs with the Sumitomo Group seal and a small portable refrigerator.

It’s real ice cream.

Regardless of whether or not Yeo-myeong, who had lost his temper, almost lost his sword, the security guards put the communist, who looked like he was the third commander, on the floor and quickly set up chairs and a refrigerator.

The setup was completed in an instant. Soon Yamauchi waved his hand at the security guards and said.

“Thank you all for your hard work. “I’ll call you again after work, so go and wait.”

The security guards glanced at Dawn and Yong, but nothing more. After saluting, they returned to the elevator without saying a word.

“Come and sit down. “It’s going to be a long story.”

After confirming that the agents had left, Yamauchi gestured to Dawn and Sis, then opened the refrigerator and began taking out small ice creams.

Dawn wanted to believe that this was some kind of trap or ploy, but the ice cream that Yamauchi gave her was real.

The taste of Sis’ green tea, and the dawn…

“… “Kimchi flavor?”

“It’s a taste created specifically for Koreans. “Sales may not be great, but the taste is guaranteed.”

This is why we couldn’t advance into Korea. While Dawn was secretly putting the ice cream in her inventory, Yamauchi sat down on a chair and said.

“Well, anyway… Going back to the conversation, let me introduce myself first. My name is Ken Yamauchi. “I am the first Guardian of the proud Sumitomo Group.”

“Guardian?”

“They say it’s named after a creature that guards a dragon’s nest, but it’s just a guard.”

“… .”

This part seems like a dragon again. Dawn sat opposite him. Yamauchi continued speaking.

“So, can you now explain why our company brought you two here?”

“… No, I think we should first hear about the dragon.”

As Dawn spoke while looking at the dragon who still couldn’t come to his senses, Yamauchi looked slightly troubled.

“uh… “I could do it, but it would be a bit difficult.”

“… ?”

“If we’re going to talk about that, we have to mention the boss’s personal preferences.”

Personal preference? As soon as she heard those words, Dawn suddenly remembered what Mahagan had said.

‘There is a dragon with an insane sexual desire for humans… .’

Incidentally, this is also what Orsay Ranal said.

‘A black dragon with abnormal sexual desires who transforms because he likes to take on human form.’

It was only then that Yeomyeong realized what her ‘personal preference’ was and changed her seat.

Between the stunned dragon and the Sith, to a place where I can protect my sister-in-law.

Unlike Sis, who had a question mark above his head, Yamauchi looked at Dawn with a meaningful expression.

“You already know?”

“… yes.”

When Yeo-myeong answered while looking at her sister-in-law, Yamauchi nodded as if he understood.

“Then I guess I can explain. Well, since there is a young wife and child in front of me, I will explain it as best as I can for everyone.”

“Please summarize as briefly as possible.”

“that… “I’ll try.”

His explanation began with the sound of Pook-sis sticking a spoon into the green tea ice cream.

***

Soon after the Kaesong portal opened and the Soviet Union and the United States divided the portal and occupied it, Korea became one of the front lines of the Cold War.

But ironically, it was Japan, not the Korean Peninsula, that suffered the most from the Cold War.

If a war broke out between the Soviet Union and the United States over the portal, the country that would be the biggest obstacle to the communist camp would be Japan.

America’s military base in the Pacific and the front line of anti-communism.

Stalin was not the type of person to just sit there and watch. As with any socialist revolution, he actively took advantage of socialists within Japan.

Japan had made anti-communism a national policy since the days of the Japanese Empire, but it could not avoid Stalin’s clutches.

Coupled with the fact that the United States actively employed war criminals from World War II as pro-Americans, the conflict between the left and the right in Japan grew to the point where it was corrosive to the nation.

It was an era of confusion where the Congress was split in half and hated each other, and even the police and soldiers could not trust each other.

Alai Lofi came to Japan during that era.

There was no noble will or purpose.

He just wanted to try it with all the races on Earth, and this time it was the yellow race’s turn, and the closest yellow race country happened to be Japan.

But coincidence always leads to fate. He met his destiny in Japan, where he came without any intention.

Fumiko.

She, who doesn’t even have her last name left, was a woman so attractive and ambitious that she could charm a dragon.

The dragon even gave up his rare to take over the Sumitomo Group for her. What more can I say?

Yes, the dragon even abandoned his hometown because of love and settled in Japan. And he made the Sumitomo Group itself his own rare.

Perhaps Sumitomo’s companies were the children of two people who could not have children.

Even in a chaotic political situation, the two grow their company with ambition and love, and stabilize the situation in Japan…

“… “That’s ridiculous!”

The person who interrupted Yamauchi was Todo, the third commander of the enemy army and the taxi driver who tried to kidnap Dawn and Sis.

He screamed bitterly even though his arms and legs were tied.

“Fumiko was a wicked woman! She disrupted the union’s legitimate strike! She illegally laid off workers in large numbers! “Do you know how many workers are out on the streets because of you?”

Yamauchi answered with an uncomfortable expression.

“… It was the best way to survive the recession. “It was something that the Japanese Communist Party and the labor union also agreed to.”

“under! Then why did they even kick out the founders of the Sumitomo Group and their families? Was it best to take away their castle and company?”

“Yes, it was for the best. They were war criminals who helped fight World War II. “Their deportation is what America wants, not our boss.”

“No, it was probably to maintain your group’s influence! “Every Japanese person knows that the Sumitomo Group grew in size through bribes and threats, regardless of whether they were businessmen or politicians!”

“… .”

Yamauchi did not answer right away. He glared at Todo with murderous eyes, then sighed deeply.

“Okay, well… Our group used bribes and threats like a meal. But I swear it wasn’t comfortable. Think about it. “Until we took power, this was the country.”

“… .”

“Without bribes, public officials did not move, and without threats, everyone was busy stealing. “Those were the rules of this country, and the group simply survived by following those rules.”

“… “It’s absurd that you would make such an excuse in a situation where you are controlling the country.”

“… .”

“The Sumitomo Group has already crossed the line, but it has crossed it firmly! “Aren’t they still trying to monopolize everything from toothbrushes to finances?”

What is this again? A conversation between a capitalist and a communist? Or the conversation between the guard and the kidnapper?

Unlike Dawn, who was indifferent either way, Sith watched the conversation between the two with interest.

And the next moment, Yamauchi answered while looking at the unconscious dragon with a sullen expression.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“This dirty capital… what?”

“That’s what you said. Our group crossed the line. but… “This was also necessary.”

Todo’s face distorted.

“Are you playing with words again?”

“I wish it was a pun too.”

After speaking up to that point, Yamauchi poured the remaining ice cream into his mouth and looked at Dawn again.

“Tibae… No, about a thousand people. You said you were not on the side of the Korean government, right? “Then can we consider him an enemy of Korea?”

“You can think as you please.”

Dawn answered intentionally vaguely, but Yamauchi nodded as if he liked the ambiguity.

“In fact, our boss was thinking of splitting the group 10 years ago.”

Then, not only Todo but also the other commies who had just woken up looked surprised.

“what? A greedy dragon couldn’t do that… .”

“Just because you’re greedy doesn’t mean you’re stupid. “The boss has been aware for 10 years that the group has grown to the point where it cannot be run alone.”

“… .”

“I was planning to give up all the remaining companies, leaving behind the central group and 33 affiliates that I established with Ms. Fumiko. Among them were the labor-intensive companies you love so much. The plan was perfect. It was perfect… .”

At that time, Sith intervened.

“The Korean government intervened.”

“… Yes, Korea tried to swallow up the companies we were splitting off.”

“That’s ridiculous. Do you think it’s possible for a country to blatantly devour other countries’ companies?”

As soon as Todo could refute, Yamauchi shook his head.

“Legally it’s difficult. But illegally?”

“… .”

“They set up an unknown Japanese person as the boss of the pants and expropriate capital and resources through military force… “What would it be like if Koreans used the same methods as the Japanese Empire during the colonial era?”

“… “That’s impossible.”

Yamauchi chuckled and suddenly took off his security vest.

His bare skin, hidden beneath his vest and thick body armor…

It was full of unhealed wounds, scars, and black necrotic flesh.

“Over the past 10 years, 102 Sumitomo Security and 11 Guardians have been killed in battles with the Korean government. “I am the last Guardian.”

“… .”

Yamauchi said while looking at the communists including him.

“While you were drinking elixirs from communist party fees, we were fighting in the shadows with agents sent by the Korean government. “We rejected the dirty offers of the United States and France, which demanded interests in exchange for protection, and shed blood.”

A voice that is quiet, but cuts deep like an arrow.

While Todo and the communists’ eyes were shaking, Yamauchi declared as he adjusted his clothes again.

“But now that’s over.”

“… what? why?”

“Because I already lost. “A week ago, we were defeated by Korea.”

“… .”

“I’ve never seen beast-headed monsters before… “Nearly a hundred members of Sumitomo Security were suppressed by those guys.”

“100 security guards… Are they all dead?”

“No, it’s worse than that. “The Korean explanation is that they put parasites on the heads of the security guards and the presidents and board of directors they were guarding, and if they don’t comply, their heads will explode and they will all die.”

“… Mapokgo.”

As Sis muttered, Yamauchi helped.

“Yes, it was a parasite with that name. “You know me well.”

After hearing that, Dawn asked, recalling the dragon who spoke of the American embassy.

“Have you ever thought of asking for help from other countries or powers?”

“It’s not that I didn’t do it, I couldn’t do it. The United States was in the middle of a presidential election, and an executioner was called to the Magic Tower, but he didn’t come. Other than that… I don’t know if it has any meaning. It probably wouldn’t have been of much use. My boss cares deeply about the lives of his employees. Are you saying it’s all your property? Huh, Korea probably knew that too and targeted their employees… .”

Yamauchi, who had said that, looked straight at Dawn.

“Oh, and you, about a thousand people. “You were a problem too.”

“… Me? “What am I?”

“I threatened to have you make all the Japanese students at the academy and the Japanese who entered the Olympia finals disabled.”

“… .”

“He explained very carefully that he would crush my spine and make me wear a poop bag for the rest of my life. And just in time, you shattered your senior’s spine. Was that an example?”

“No, it’s just a coincidence.”

“You accidentally broke your senior’s spine?”

“yes.”

An immediate answer, followed by an awkward silence.

While the three communist commanders looked at Dawn with bewildered eyes, Sith, who had finished eating the ice cream, pushed away the silence.

“Hmm, so you thought we came to threaten you.”

“To be exact, it’s teabagging.”

“Tea bagging? “What is that?”

“… “It’s okay if you don’t know.”

While Yamauchi cleared his throat and brought out a new ice cream, Dawn gathered her thoughts.

Yong, Sumitomo, the Japanese Communist Party, and Korea…

It seemed complicated, but in some ways it was a simple story.

“So, if the Korean government had not touched Japan… The Japanese Communist Party was also able to operate normally. “Can you think of it this way?”

“There are still a lot of political transactions and social conflicts left, but that’s the summary.”

Dawn tilted her head and said.

“Let me make a suggestion.”

“… proposal? “What offer?”

“Hold on for a few months. Then the Korean government, no, the dirty organization that runs the monsters will all disappear, so there will be no worries.”

Yamauchi looked at Dawn as if wondering what that meant.

“Are you… ?”

“Yes, it is. “I will finish them off.”

“… .”

Such arrogant words for someone who is only a young man to say.

But Yamauchi did not deny that statement. Oda Nobunaga became the head of the Oda family at the age of only 25, and the Margrave reached the top of the world before he turned 30.

Is there a law preventing that young man from following in their footsteps?

But unfortunately, that wasn’t the case now.

“Thank you for the offer, but I don’t think it’s possible. At the meeting held today at the Imperial Hotel… “If we don’t hand over the affiliates, our employees will die.”

“… .”

“If they give up all their lives and fight to the end like the boss said a moment ago, I don’t know… “Unless the two of you are really suffering from Korea, the boss won’t do that.”

Dawn did not answer right away. I was wondering why patriots were holding a meeting in Japan… Was it for this reason?

I said it was to get inside the Patriots, but the thought of this being one of the results of being used by them made me feel bitter.

But that’s it.

Dawn had no intention of giving up here.

“Then what if we crash today’s meeting?”

“… Huh?”

“There is an alchemist who can create a cure for Mapokgo. “You’re going to ruin her meeting today, and then you’re going to stall her time until she creates her cure.”

“… Aside from the Mapokgo cure, why not ruin the meeting? “How?”

Dawn answered while looking at the Communist Party Chairman and the three communists who came to their senses with good timing.

“It’s an unavoidable situation that you can never make up… “We are staging an attack by communists.”

Yamauchi shook his head.

“These three are strong, but it’s impossible. The difference in power is too big. And above all, these commies… .”

As soon as he could finish his sentence, Todo answered.

“I have no intention of helping.”

“… .”

“Whether the Korean government’s threats are true or false, joining hands with you dirty capitalists is a betrayal. “A betrayal of our comrades who sacrificed countless lives!”

This is why they are communists. After hearing his declaration, Yeo-myeong got up from her seat and said,

“What if I guarantee it’s true?”

“Your guarantee? What are you? “Isn’t this, at best, a lame thing for an anti-communist country with some talent?”

“Todo, you idiot! That person… !”

The Communist Party Chairman, who had just come to his senses, tried to stop him, but Dawn spoke first.

“Yes, that’s right. But I should correct one thing. I am not a brat born in an anti-communist country… A worker. He was a street janitor. And I am still proud of that.”

“… .”

Trudging. Dawn slowly approached Todo and took out one of her medals from her arms. The Red Flag Medal given by Stalin himself.

“Well, that medal… ?!”

While Todo was astonished upon recognizing the medal, Dawn covered half of her face with the illusion of bloody tears.

The face of Morine’s adoptive father, Ben, was waiting inside the vision artifact.

“KGB… ? oh my god.”

Fortunately, one of the three captains, a man named Suzuki or something, recognized Ben’s face.

Taking a step forward, Dawn took out the armament serum and held it in her hand.

No one recognized the serum, but the red sickle and hammer made of blood were a symbol in themselves.

And finally… Completed Dzhugashvili.

“Woah, as expected, I absorbed life back then… .”

While all three commanders were frightened as they looked at the dark red haze blooming over Dawn’s shoulders, the Communist Party Chairman suddenly stood up.

As if the wound from being stabbed by the Sith had not yet healed, he grabbed the third commander, who was unable to come to his senses even while his legs were trembling, and shouted, pulling him up by the collar.

“Everyone stand! “Stand up!”
