Chapter 204 – Naked Dungeon Life Side Story (12)
“What do you want from us? You let go when you really need help, so why are you here now…”
What is their purpose?
To the subject who turned away from this land even at the moment when the city was destroyed and human casualties occurred.
Why did he come all the way here?
After all, is Kang Jung-hyeok the target?
Chihiro was very curious about what the three men in front of her were aiming for, and by extension, the mainland association.
“Why are you doing this? Can’t you see that you’ve arrived just in time for the gate runaway? You’re trying to help out with an old friendship.”
“Are you asking me to believe that? You turn away when you really need help?”
“Away. Is this the only place where help is needed? It’s only a little late because we’re dealing with urgent matters. It’s our land, which is equally precious to us.”
Chihiro couldn’t hide her displeasure at Tatsuya’s remark.
He said with a forced smile while frowning.
“Okay. Thanks so much for helping out now. Then can I ask you a favor right now? Take care of those monsters raining down from the gate.”
Tatsuya also said with a fishy smile.
“Heh, you’ve grown up a lot. But I mean… You need to know the subject.”
“…!?”
“Do you think you’ve become a real princess because everyone around you treats you like a princess? Where do you get orders from?”
Along with the scream, Tatsuya’s expression twisted into a stern expression.
And more than anything else, a word came out that puzzled Chihiro.
“You dare to be a traitor.”
Chihiro involuntarily took a step back.
“Bae, betrayal…”
“Did you think we didn’t know? You dare betray the country that raised and fed you without even knowing the subject?”
“What… Are you talking about? Betrayal.”
She grabbed Shichimi and pulled it off.
What she had been doing in secret was noticed on the mainland.
But she can’t readily admit it.
She still has to stop the flooding of the gates, and she has not heard back from the Korean government about her request for assistance.
“Keukkeuk. Are you planning on taking it off? It’s a pity, but it’s useless. There’s already plenty of evidence. What’s a girl who can’t guard a single subordinate? Independence? Puhahaha. I remember the first time I knew about this. The Transcendental Corps people I was listening to together How I laughed so hard.”
“That’s right, I was scolded because my stomach hurt then.”
Contrary to Tatsuya and the others laughing out loud, Chihiro’s expression became more and more rotten.
‘Load? Could there be a traitor inside the General Bureau?’
She never once doubted them.
Because I thought that we were all comrades who had the same dream.
She gritted her teeth, hiding the misery that made her vomit blood.
You have to be cool.
Now is the time to cool down.
I want to drop the heads of those bloody bastards who are laughing and splashing filthy spittle right now, but the first thing I need to do is stop the rampage at the gate.
Mana cannot be consumed on this spot.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m sorry, but can we put off talking about that? It’s an emergency, you know.”
Chihiro’s cold voice stopped the laughter of the three men.
“Well, that’s how it should be. I don’t want my people to get hurt either.”
Her teeth trembled at the remark that she was a citizen, but Chihiro was calm enough.
“When the gate is quiet, she will go looking for you without being called, so please leave now. I have to leave for the site soon.”
“However.”
“!?”
“The lives of traitors who are not our people are none of our business.”
“What is that…”
“Awakeners who are now out at the gate. Can we say that these worms are loyal Japanese citizens?”
Chihiro’s expression turned pale.
“Do you really not know why we came to you at this exact moment? Dozens of ordinary Awoken people can never be our opponents, but if the number becomes hundreds or thousands, even we can’t handle it.”
“Stop, no way…”
“Looks like your head is spinning now. Yes. We won’t let you out of here. Until all those maggoty traitors are eaten by monsters and ripped limb from limb.”
Chihiro had developed mana even before Tatsuya’s story was over.
He intended to quickly turn around and run toward the side wall where his weapon lay.
But it was to no avail.
Tatsuya appeared in front of her wall and pointed the tip of her sword at her.
The speedy Tatsuya.
It was a movement so fast that even the eyes of a transcendent could not easily follow it.
“Because it’s your scheme. Now, what are you going to do? Are you going to use that proud ability? Then we can blow your nose without using your hands. If your mana runs out, you don’t have to stand in your way, the result will be It will be the same.”
“Don’t underestimate my abilities.”
“Ohh… You seem confident even with three Transcendentalists in front of you? But you know what? That short friend over there. As long as that friend has the ability, no matter how good your ability is, it’s no use.”
A look of bewilderment appeared on Chihiro’s face.
“Aren’t you curious about what kind of ability it is? Hehe. Unfortunately, that’s a secret. But you can try it yourself. It’s going to be a lot of fun to see how your proud face will change.”
‘What kind of ability is that?’
Without knowing that, Chihiro couldn’t move easily.
‘I have to avoid this place for now.’
It seems that she will have to give up her weapon and use mana only for the purpose of getting out of this situation.
At that level, I should be able to leave enough magic power to stop the gate runaway.
The amount of her magical power has clearly increased to the point where it can’t be compared to a week ago.
Having made up her mind, she was about to activate her skill.
“What kind of situation is this?”
Suddenly, at that moment, the man appeared.
“Jeonghyeok… Mr…”
“Princess!? What kind of situation is this…”
Kang Jung-hyeok appeared with Chihiro’s chief secretary.
Nothing ever goes according to plan.
She bit her lip so hard that bright red blood flowed from the corner of Chihiro’s mouth.
* * *
I was guided by a middle-aged man to the director’s office of the Okinawa Awakening Bureau.
It is said that the position of Chihiro, who is called a princess by them, is the director of the bureau here.
When I got off the elevator and turned the corner, I saw a large door.
The very luxurious-looking door was wide open, and through the open door, I could see the backs of two men, and Chihiro through it.
“What kind of situation is this?”
The man named Chief Secretary was at a loss for what to do, and Chihiro checked my face and bit his lip.
Have you come to a place where I can’t come?
She said she would definitely follow me in the morning, but she didn’t seem to be very happy with my visit.
Men, on the other hand, were different.
As soon as he checked my face, he kindly told me when he saw me.
“Are you Mr. Kang Jeong-hyeok? Haha, nice to meet you. It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Tatsuya Yamanaka of the transcendental task force against Japan.”
Whatever?
I ignored the handshake.
It was because Chihiro’s reaction got a little heated.
Of course, the fact that she knew a little about the man named Tatsuya also played a role.
I heard about it from Chihiro when I was taking a short break after rolling around naked.
After confirming that my eyes were all on Chihiro, Tatsuya quietly removed the hand he was holding out in front of him and continued his words.
“Are you here to see the princess?”
“Yes.”
“It’s a pity, but the princess is busy right now. Can you come back next time? We will serve you with the utmost courtesy.”
“I am a busy man.”
“Haha, of course I know. We’ll do everything you want. Not this shabby place, but a better place…”
“It’s noisy, everyone give up your seat, right? I have something to say to that woman.”
I could see the veins on Tatsuya’s forehead protruding.
I was going crazy wondering what the reaction would be from now on.
But there was a hindrance.
“Kang Jeong-hyeok. Please follow the man’s words now. Please.”
Chihiro, who had been standing quietly, opened her mouth.
“Yes? Just go?”
“Yeah… I’m sorry.
“Why?”
“That…”
Then Tatsuya intervened again.
“I’ll tell you instead. It’s a pity, but Chihiro-san won’t be able to meet with you anymore. She’s committed a very big sin. But don’t worry. We’ll do the negotiations with her on her behalf. You’ll be satisfied with the conditions.”
“That, what the hell does that mean…”
“Chief Secretary! It’s not your time to intervene, so shut up!”
In an instant, the surrounding air was pulled tight.
It wasn’t just a scream.
It was an intimidation filled with mana.
The chief secretary, who lacks magical powers, became contemplative and only opened his mouth like a goldfish.
Meanwhile, Tatsuya and the others were looking at me with a slightly surprised expression.
It must have been because I was standing still, even facing the magic from earlier.
Haha.”
The man named Tatsuya started laughing heartily.
“Yeah, you’re great.”
He was testing me.
Most of the mana I emitted was only targeting me.
You will have noticed by now.
The fact that the mana I have is at least equal to his own, or maybe more.
Actually, my actual mana is zero.
