Chapter 211
* * *
I returned to Korea after a long time.
My whole body felt wonderfully relaxed.
It’s because I rubbed so excitedly. Yuzuki is truly becoming a yuri master as the days go by.
Seeing her make the Shinsengumi climax with just one finger was so arousing.
But upon arriving in Korea, before I could even embrace the heroines, Choi Siwoo told me that Choi Cheolsik wanted to see me.
So I had to hold Kate and move to the Association.
“Yu Eunha. I heard you had some trouble with the Apostle.”
Choi Cheolsik brought up those Old Farts as soon as he saw me.
Trouble? No, I didn’t.
“I didn’t?”
“What do you mean you didn’t? The Apostle’s side has already filed a complaint.”
Those Old Farts Context: with the Apostle.
Those Old Farts must have done it.
“Did they complain to Yuzuki too?”
“Yuzuki, you mean the Shinohara Shogunate?”
“Yes. We’re quite close.”
We were intimately entangled in bed.
“No, there was no mention of that.”
“In sh” must have done it.
We became dense slugs in bed.
“No, there was no mention of that.”
“In short, it means I’m the easy target. What a bunch of nasty-tempered bastards.”
They complain only about me and not Yuzuki? Of course, I don’t want them messing with Yuzuki either, but they mess with me instead.
“Well, she is a national ruler, so if they were to complain, it would go straight to her.”
“Is that all? Like being dropped as a candidate?”
“Even they know it would be petty to drop you over that.”
They should. Of course they should. Tsk tsk, typical Old Farts.
“Hmm. Well, I can just refuse anyway. Seeing as you told those Old Farts to get lost and called me here like this, do you need something else?”
“Ha Jeongseok is looking for Baekhwa, they say.”
“Excuse me?”
Ha Jeongseok is looking for Baekhwa? What’s gotten into him all of a sudden?
“He says it’s a national secret. Get in touch with Baekhwa.”
“Well, understood.”
Why does that bastard Ha Jeongseok want to meet me?
He’s probably not calling me to kill me. He’s not a thoughtless person.
He wouldn’t think he could do anything to me.
Then is he calling me to talk? If he’s going through Choi Cheolsik, it means he’s serious. Well, it wouldn’t hurt to meet him for now.
#
I took a Gate to Ha Jeongseok’s underground secret room in the guise of Baekhwa for the first time in a while.
Mmm, I see Ha Jeongseok’s mug.
“Now you enter the secret room quite boldly.”
“Ah, never mind that, why did you call me?”
I’m a busy woman, so I don’t have time to chat long with the likes of you.
Ha Jeongseok thought deeply about something, then pointed to a chair with his wrinkle-filled hand.
“Mmm, take a seat there first.”
“Setting the mood all of a sudden, my my.”
By the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to be about to spout bullshit.
From his perspective, I’m someone who has achieved my own merits now, so he won’t do anything to drop his image more than necessary.
Whatever Ha Jeongseok ordered his chief of staff to do, chief of staff Choi Jisu brought teacups.
“Have some tea. It’s coffee. Made by grinding giant beans.”
Giant beans. A crop from the otherworld that appeared in some dungeons, which people started gathering and making into coffee.
They say it produces by far the best taste among coffees, so I’ve been wanting to try it sometime.
“Oho. So what’s the matter?”
“First of all, we won the last war, but it’s not like they don’t still have means to threaten us.”
We’ve already suppressed their numbers, and even if Zhang Xueti raises a Hunter Army again, Mingmei of the Northwest Warlords is keeping a sharp eye out.
Even if Zhang Xueti tries to retaliate against Korea, he’ll probably have to settle things with the Northwest Warlords first. However, if Korea colludes with the Northwest Warlords, Zhang Xueti has only one means to threaten Korea.
The one thing that can be considered dangerous even in the post-Great Cataclysm world.
“Are you talking about nukes?”
“Exactly. If we and the Northwest Warlords form an alliance, they will use the nuclear card.”
“Didn’t the Chinese Bastards sign a declaration for nuclear disarmament in the last war?”
I thought they negotiated with The West to dismantle their nukes, aside from Japan mediating after the war ended. Am I wrong?
“You’re too naive. It’s not like The West is openly monitoring them, and they’ll surely keep their last resort.”
“So?”
“Do you happen to have any of those missiles left?”
Aha, I get it. It means he needs a deterrent against China’s nukes right now.
To think we’d be worrying about nukes even in this era.
“manufacturing them isn’t that difficult, but no, that’s a bit too much for me mentally.”
The way the heroines look at me is unusual, is what I mean.
“Come on, aren’t you a Korean too?”
Fuck, I’m only a Korean at times like this.
“Besides, we promised The West we’d dismantle them after the war. What’s the point of bringing that up now.”
After the war, The West took issue with the Baekhwa Cult’s, well. Yongyong bomb missiles.
As they were tactical nuclear-level missiles, The West tried to keep the Baekhwa Cult in check, and the Baekhwa Cult dismantled all of them to reassure The West.
“That’s why you need to resolve that for me. That is my request.”
“What?”
“Threaten the United States and get permission for Korea’s nuclear armament.”
Is that supposed to make any sense.
“Fuck, don’t tell me you.”
“With The West’s tacit approval, we can make 200 nuclear warheads before China goes crazy and runs wild again.”
“Oho. 200 nuclear warheads.”
Was this crazy bastard really pulling that kind of operation behind the scenes.
So you’re saying you can make them in a month if you just get permission?
“Let’s be honest. How many have you made?”
“10 warheads. We completely subjugated the monsters in one Gate in Manchuria and are using it as a testing ground. It’s better if we launch them inside the Gate anyway, so a gate anomaly won’t even occur.”
He’s already made them. And in this situation, he’s aiming for mine too? This conscienceless bastard.
Zhang Xueti is someone I can handle on my own, but it would definitely be good for Korea itself to have a deterrent.
Especially since we don’t know what kind of tricks Sin will play.
“The threat of Sin is also becoming an established fact. Can you be sure Sin won’t touch China just like they moved the Japanese prime minister?”
Was Ha Jeongseok someone whose brain worked this well?
“No, how am I supposed to threaten them.”
“The current President of the United States was my classmate at the Swiss International Hunter School. I know him well, and that bastard is a playboy. He’s a guy who lusts after women.”
Was the current President that kind of person?
It’s too much of a comparison to the United States from my office worker days.
The problem is, even if that’s true, I don’t know how this crazy bastard expects me to threaten him.
“So what, you want me to figure out a way to make blackmail material on my own?”
“It shouldn’t be impossible, right? Think about it with your own head. His own image and the loss of honor for a superpower like the United States versus permitting Korea’s nuclear armament. Which would be better?”
The United States is definitely not in the situation it used to be, and since they actually almost suffered damage from the war, the chances of success are high.
But you see.
I can’t just do it for free, right? As humans, if something goes, something must come back.
“There must be a give and take. What will you give the Baekhwa Cult?”
“Hmm. What is it that you want?”
Right. That’s how you should come out.
“The mutants in the autonomous region have been recognized by the citizens, but they are still not recognized as Koreans. Please allow even the autonomous region to acquire Korean citizenship.”
Ha Jeongseok hadn’t gone so far as to allow citizenship for the mutants.
To be a bit more precise, it’s a situation where he only says in words that the mutants are our citizens too.
“Is that all?”
“And regarding the establishment of shogunate by Shinohara, I believe Your Excellency the great President has not yet stated any position.”
Ha Jeongseok said he would think positively about the Shinohara Shogunate, but he hasn’t officially announced any position yet.
“So?”
“Support the Shinohara Shogunate.”
In the original work, a Shinohara Shogunate like the current one is not established.
Continuing the unstable system from before its establishment, Yuzuki falls for Choi Siwoo and slowly begins to divide power among the families under Shinohara.
It’s completely different from now, having established the Shogunate.
“It’s a military regime pushed forward by a young bitch in this era. Do you think it will last long?”
You may be called President, but that’s not something you, who dictates like a king, should say.
“Let’s be frank. That’s not something Your Excellency should say, is it? As you must know right now, the Apostle is also wreaking havoc. If it’s going to be like this, it’s better to join hands with the Shogunate.”
Anyway, Yuzuki, my woman, listens to my words perfectly well.
“Is Shinohara Yuzuki that strong?”
“It’s a nation that directly experienced the threat of Sin. They suffered greater damage than Korea did in the Korea-China War. Furthermore, Yuzuki is a woman who compromises with reality.”
She’s also a woman who leaks all over in front of me.
“Good. I can do that much. And I’ll ask one last question.”
“Go ahead.”
I’ve listened well to his bullshit so far, so what’s next.
“Nolbu, who became an impotent man thanks to you, returned from his trip, and he’s now a little girl.”
“What?”
“A little girl. So do you happen to know of any artifact that changes someone from a woman to a man, or returns them to their original state?”
A little girl, a little girl. An artifact that turns a little girl back into a hulking, perverted middle-aged man.
I don’t know anything like that.
No, why would there even be a reason to go back to being a Man in the first place?
Living as a woman is happy. Above all, women let their guard down because they think you won’t do anything if you approach them as a fellow woman.
Intimacy is also a kind of restorative medicine. That’s what I’m saying.
Isn’t it rather a good thing since he rejuvenated and got much younger?
“I’m sorry, but there’s no way something like that exists. Why? Isn’t it actually good to rejuvenate by becoming a little girl? A woman’s life shouldn’t be bad either, right?”
At my words, Ha Jeongseok’s face contorted into a truly detestable expression.
“The problem is that he lost all his power. He blew everything he had when he became a little girl, so what can be done.”
Well, that can’t be helped.
To be honest, Nolbu is nothing more than a sort of pawn sacrificed for Cheonsan.
“Then there’s no need for me to step up, is there? The Commander of the Baekhwa Cult is someone else right now.”
“For one, he’s also our hunter, and it doesn’t look good for a hunter to openly threaten them.”
Ah, I know what he means.
I put down the coffee cup I was sipping and opened my mouth.
“Ah, in short, it’s better to use me, a villain whose tail can be easily cut off in case of failure?”
“That’s right.”
He’s really shameless.
Well, he’s as honest as he is shameless, so it’s not bad.
“I really like how shameless you are. Understood.”
Well, I guess you could say that’s just like Ha Jeongseok.
Then let’s go report my survival to Jiyeon-i now.
#
“I’m back.”
Mmm, as expected, Jiyeon-i’s house feels like my nostalgic home.
Jiyeon-i ran to me and carefully hugged me.
Ah, this is it. This is it. This is why I can’t give up on the harem.
In Songdo, there’s my elf wife who makes money on the internet and is a master of her craft, along with the heroines who please me. And in Seoul, there’s even Jiyeon-i!
“You really worked hard. Hm?”
“Why?”
Jiyeon-i shoved her face here and there on my body and sniffed.
After sniffing for a while, she smelled my lower area.
Yes, she’s smelling my crotch, that’s what I mean.
To think she’d be this proactive! Does it mean she wants to do it right now?
Uh, my lower abdomen grew hot from the breath I felt when she sniffed.
But before I even had time to feel it, Jiyeon-i grabbed my crotch tightly with her hand.
“Wait, what are you doing?”
Touching it not carefully but roughly, as if trying to rip it off, it seems she’s firmly angry.
“Whose smell is this on you?”
