EP.499 To you we waited for

The value of an inheritance is determined by the person inheriting it, not the person giving it to it.

『Excerpt from the Tombstone for a Young Dragon in the British Museum Collection』

***

A dark room with only a few monitors emitting light.

In a place that was more like a cave than a bunker, the great Korean Minister of Defense was listening to a classified radio transmission.

[Japan offered compensation.]

“officially? Or informally?”

[This is an unofficial route. The Japanese government wants to appeal that they are also victims… .]

Kanghyuk Kim interrupted the other person.

“It is Sumitomo that wants to play the victim, not the Japanese government.”

[…] .]

He spoke in a low voice, like that of a wild animal, and continued with a crooked posture.

“A Korean lawmaker died in a foreign country. “And two of them at a time.”

There was no need to mention that they had come to Japan, or more specifically, to trample on Sumitomo and enjoy it. What was important was the fact that a Korean had died.

[Then shall we request it through the official route?]

“Ask both formally and informally. “The blood of patriots is expensive.”

[But, if you push it too far, Sumitomo’s dragon will fall on the United States… ]

“No, he will listen to us.”

[…] .]

“If by chance he doesn’t listen… “Tell them we can do what Stalin did.”

As soon as Kim Kang-hyuk finished speaking, the sound of someone taking a breath was heard from the other end of the radio.

It had to be that way. The incident he mentioned was one of the incidents that shook Japan’s modern and contemporary history.

An incident in which Stalin, dissatisfied with the ‘US-Japan Security Treaty’, sent Dzhugashvili, who went on a rampage, to Japan.

He targeted nowhere else but the Prime Minister’s residence, which was guarded by American superhumans.

Naturally, there were no survivors.

An enraged United States retaliated against the Japanese Communist Party, but to Stalin, the Japanese communists were nothing more than expendable goods, no matter how many lives they died. Rather, I wanted them to use it to incite the US military in Japan to kill Japanese people.

Afterwards, incidents such as the Cuban missile crisis and the Chilean disaster occurred one after another, causing the U.S. military in Japan to lose its influence within Japan, which became the cause of the left-right confrontation in Japan that lasted for decades… .

I can’t believe I’m mentioning that here.

[Yes, I will definitely tell you.]

Is it because the minister knows that he doesn’t say empty words? The informant’s voice over the radio trembled slightly.

Kim Kang-hyuk did not pay any attention and continued speaking indifferently.

“good. So what happened to the affiliate side? “When did you say you would hand it over to us?”

[It will likely take at least 6 more months to recover and clear the damage caused this time.]

“Is that your opinion?”

[Yes, Sumitomo requested one year, but I arbitrarily shortened the period.]

“hmm. 1 year and 6 months… Both are too long. “4 months.”

[…] yes?]

“Tell them to hand over the affiliate within four months. He added that for every week he was late, one person’s head would explode. If you ever rebel… Blow the head of the Sumitomo Bank president off tomorrow. “If he loses his left arm, he’ll realize the purpose.”

[Well, I will convey it that way. Is there anything else you would like to ask?]

“does not exist.”

After answering briefly, I hung up the radio first. Silence filled the dark room again, with only the monitor light shining.

And how long has it been since then?

The Minister pushed away the silence as he watched an image appear on the monitor.

A video showing a confrontation between a red star and a dragon.

The image quality of the video taken with the cell phone camera was not very good, but Kanghyuk Kim was able to see the posture of the red star even beyond the damaged image quality.

“Gi Su-sik holding the sword with both hands… .”

It was similar to the warrior’s martial art, but it was a different martial art in some way. The results of the martial arts used by the Red Star were also slightly different from those of the warriors.

Not a golden sword, but a dark red sword that resembles Dzhugashvili.

“Did the Soviet Union interpret the warrior’s martial arts? Or did the great hero become a communist this time?”

It was a question for which the answer is currently unknown. Because either way doesn’t make sense?

No, both are possibilities.

After taking a long breath, the minister closed the video and checked another video.

It was a video of a red star taken from a different angle and location than the video I saw a little while ago… .

At that time, a small text appeared in the corner of the monitor.

[More than a thousand people have learned the Cheondun Sword Technique.]

It was a text message from Ganja planted around Minister Cho Woong-chan. The sending date was yesterday.

“… “Have you been brainwashed in the end?”

There was deep disappointment in the minister’s voice after checking the text message. As if I was expecting something.

But like most Koreans of this age, the minister was used to disappointment.

After gathering his emotions in an instant, he turned his attention back to the video. When he looked at the red star again, his eyes were cold.

***

[The Japanese Metropolitan Police Agency has a high level of intensity against communist forces in accordance with the Subversive Activities Prevention Act and the Superhuman Registration Act… ]

A street illuminated by a large electronic display board showing an announcer reading a script with a serious face.

In the very place commonly called ‘Akihabara’, Isis was unable to come to her senses.

A street full of all kinds of hobby products, including toys, video games, computer electronics, and animation.

She kept looking around like someone who didn’t know where to put her eyes, and when she found something, she quickly approached her brother-in-law.

“Brother-in-law, over there! “Let’s go there.”

Likewise, Yeo-myeong, who was looking around blankly, turned her gaze to follow her finger. She then asked back, slightly embarrassed.

“Maid cafe? Sister-in-law, a place like that is a bit… .”

“yes? No, no! “Not there, but the store next door!”

It was only then that Dawn realized exactly where her sister-in-law had pointed.

Cola Cafe. A mecca for cola enthusiasts where you can enjoy 32 different cola flavors… Dawn, slightly embarrassed, cleared her throat and started walking.

The cafe that I climbed up the twisty stairs wasn’t bad. As the name suggests, it was a place that mainly sold cola and hamburgers as a side dish, and it seemed like it was quite famous, so the place was almost full.

“Brother-in-law, can I order everything here?”

“… “All 32?”

“yes! Oh, and I’ll order two drinks for Ranal.”

“If I take it to the academy, won’t all the steam go away?”

“My brother-in-law can put it in the inventory.”

“… .”

In the end, Dawn had to order a total of 64 cups of cola, including 32 cups for her sister-in-law and 32 cups for Ranal.

It reminded me of my money sense from my days as a cleaner, and I felt a bit of a waste, but it didn’t last long. It was because Sith enjoyed it more than expected.

Spending money for your family is always fun.

He watched his sister-in-law taste dozens of glasses of cola with a light heart.

From green tea flavors to cotton candy, red beans, tangerines, and even pizza flavors.

Around the time my sister-in-law emptied dozens of glasses of cola, leaving comments such as ‘This is trash’ and ‘This is edible.’

“I’m saying there aren’t any seats left. Can we sit together?”

A familiar face came to the table. A middle-aged man with long, long hair and a somewhat grumpy appearance.

“Yes, it’s okay. “Please sit next to me.”

Dawn smiled and offered him a seat. She didn’t really mind her sister-in-law, who would normally have frowned at her. Because he was the humanoid form of Alai Lofi that we saw in Rare.

“Are you following us?”

Dawn asked him as he sat down. The dragon shrugged his eyebrows.

“Yes, he refused to go to a high-end restaurant, so I followed him and did something. But all I can do is… “Is it tourism?”

“Yes, there is more to see than I thought, so I’m having a good time.”

“… .”

Yong clicked his tongue and reached for his sister-in-law’s unsipped glass of cola. match! Sith slapped the back of his hand as if she knew it would happen.

He said with a frown.

“All the young dragons these days are so cheap… “It wasn’t like this in my time.”

Sith answered without heeding anything.

“Human Park is a disease both then and now.”

“… .”

It’s not for any other purpose, you’re saying that? Allai looked at Sith and Dawn alternately as if they were dumbfounded, but then turned his head.

“Okay, let’s talk about work. nephew.”

“… “Nephew?”

“Then he’s my nephew. “A nephew who is a bit older than my cousin.”

“… .”

So isn’t it almost like Namnam? Whether or not Dawn was embarrassed to suddenly have a family with scales, the dragon continued to say what he had to say.

“It’s only been a day, but things are really going as you said. In particular, Korea was given a grace period. It’s only been 4 months… .”

“… You got more than I expected. “I thought it would be at most a month or two.”

“A month or two? There is no way the stock market could recover so quickly in this situation… “No, then you can make a medicine to remove the mapolgo before then?”

“Yes, there is a skilled alchemist here. If it’s for dozens of people… “It won’t take long.”

Rashik would have to work overtime, but Dawn didn’t mind. Isn’t this an opportunity to save people and build relationships with conglomerates? She was sure to like Maggot Princess too.

‘… maybe.’

Anyway, Yong breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the staff member to have a cola.

“Oh, and my nephew. “Doesn’t this kid know that you are that?”

“… “That one?”

“Uh, this is it.”

The dragon pointed his finger alternately at Dawn and his own eyes. Golden eyes… It was referring to the lineage of a warrior. Dawn nodded her head.

“Looking at the reaction, it looks like there are quite a few people besides this lady who know… ?”

At that time, Sis, who had finished his peach-flavored cola, intervened.

“All the women around my brother-in-law know.”

“girls… ?”

Alai Lofi frowned again, then nodded.

“Well, where can we go? “The Margrave is a special case.”

“… Have you ever met the Margrave?”

“Just once, before we come to Earth.”

“What happens?”

When Dawn showed interest, the dragon twitched his eyes and responded as if he was surprised.

“It’s not a very great relationship. “She went to see the saint to seduce her, but he stuck a knife in my head.”

“… .”

“But, I usually don’t touch a woman I own. Well, how could he have known that the saint would have a man? “She just said she was sorry and then she left.”

As soon as the story ended, Sis puffed out his cola. She closed her mouth without even thinking about wiping the cola that had splattered on her face.

Seeing that reaction, the dragon asked quietly.

“uh… I’m asking just in case, nephew. Are you the Margrave’s son?”

“… “He is the saint’s son.”

“ah.”

Immediately after, a cold silence fell over the table.

Alai Lofi scratched his chin in embarrassment and then spoke as if he was a little offended.

“uh… Since dragons live for such a long time, things like this happen often. And honestly… Isn’t it male instinct to be attracted to pretty women? huh? “You would know if you inherited this bloodline, right?”

“I’m not.”

A sharp answer. The dragon scratched the bridge of his nose once more.

“That can’t be possible…” Ah, have you seen this great saint? You go to the same academy, right? She looks so pretty, but have you ever felt the same way about her when you look at her? .”

“… doesn’t exist.”

“really?”

“yes.”

“Are you sure you don’t touch a woman who owns someone? Because of the rumor that the saintess has a man… .”

Just as his speech was about to get longer, the lesser Sith spoke up.

“… “My brother-in-law is that man.”

“ah. Is that what you meant by ‘women’?”

The dragon looked at Dawn with an expression that had just hit her, then closed its mouth.

Silence again.

And when Sith shook his head and the silence became longer, the dragon, who could not bear the silence, suddenly took out a small box from his pocket and spoke.

“I brought you a gift, would you like to see it?”

“… .”

“It was a reward for helping me this time, and since we are relatives, I brought some nice items, but… .”

He trailed off and opened the box, revealing a small ring. It was a ring made by twisting dozens of thin gold threads.

A ring that is rough but feels sincere… A strange look appeared in the eyes of the woman who already had similar accessories.

“Is this… ?”

“Oh, you recognized it right away? Do you have something similar?”

Instead of answering, Dawn took out a bracelet from her inventory. A gold bracelet that is thinner than a guitar string but has detailed tree branch and leaf decorations carved on it.

It was a warrior’s relic I received from Morine in Chicago.

“Oh, the hero’s bracelet… It’s authentic. Also, have you already received certification? Great thing. “Is this what the Margrave inherited?”

The most convincing evidence proving that they are blood relatives. The dragon laughed happily.

“This ring is also a keepsake left behind by the first warrior. It’s something passed down to our clan. Neither my mother nor I used it because we didn’t really need it, but… “It would be useful for you.”

As if trying to make up for his verbal mistake a moment ago, he immediately held out the box to Dawn. However, Dawn did not accept it right away and carefully pushed the box away.

“I can’t receive something this precious.”

“Do you know what I learned from capitalism? Value is relative. “The employees under me are more precious to me than this ring.”

“… .”

“So don’t refuse, but get the cure in time. “That’s really what I want.”

Dawn hesitated, but then took the box. As he lightly infused her mana, soon her familiar voice rang in her head.

[44 units]

[Ownership transfer through transfer has been confirmed.]

[Do you want to change user?]

***

At the same time, deep inside the underwater tunnel beneath the Academy.

At the top of a long, unlit staircase, the ghost of an archmage slowly opened his eyes.

There was nothing shining in his eyes buried in the darkness, but his clear eyes pierced even the darkness and looked down the stairs.

[Finally, preparations are complete.]

No answer came back. This was because two of the people who would answer him were no longer from this world, and one was from beyond the dimension.

[Did you know? Did you ever foresee that I would activate this?]

Nevertheless, the ghost continued speaking. Because I couldn’t bear it without saying anything.

[I hope you didn’t know. I just hope that one of the seeds you sowed has blossomed. I hope all of this is the result of his choice.]

Saint. He swallowed the last words that didn’t come out and got up. Now it was time to find him.
