Chapter 220 – Naked Dungeon Life (28)
Next day.
Hong Eun-young, who had just arrived at the airport, was very angry.
“What the hell are you doing!”
“It’s been a while, are you going to be angry from the start?”
“Of course! My schedule is messed up because of you! To come to Okinawa all of a sudden, there’s no way that’s easily possible.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if you came?”
“I wouldn’t have come if President Ahn hadn’t urgently granted permission to use military aircraft.”
Okinawa Airport, which had been closed, resumed its function as an airport as of today.
However, there were no private airlines that tried to fly planes directly to the island, which had been in an uproar just a few days ago.
Because of this, Hong Eun-young was in a very difficult situation because she had not been able to find a flight for the past day.
It was because there was an order close to my threat to come back to Okinawa right away.
“I wouldn’t know again if it wasn’t broadcasted online. That grossly huge monster praying mantis? It’s a praying mantis? If you openly disclose such a thing on the Internet, which airline will fly the plane? I’m scared.”
“Let’s stop talking about it. You know that you came here after a hard time. Did you come here to disgrace the president in front of people? Vice President Hong.”
“…”
Hong Eun-young sighed as she secretly checked the staff of the Okinawa Awakening Bureau, who were standing right behind me.
“Do what I told you to do. Don’t mess around. Or would you like to come to your senses if I scold you here?”
“No… Boss.”
Hong Eun-young, who was very angry, quickly faded.
You know me well
If I fight more now, I will really start doing something right here.
Despite being a true pervert on the inside, this guy is extremely reluctant to reveal his perverted side in front of others.
“Proceed as roughly as we talked about over the phone yesterday. If you’re not sure, ask me right away.”
“Yes… Uh? What about the boss? No way, you’re not going to Korea right away, leaving me here, right?”
As I pass her and take her steps toward her warplane, I hear her urgent voice.
“I’m sorry, but my job here is done.”
“Yeah, but… I can’t even speak Japanese!”
I replied with a nonchalant face.
“Are you asking me to act as your interpreter? The president follows the vice president around?”
“But…”
“Nothing to worry about. Anyone who can speak Korean will be here.”
“Huh, that’s too much.”
She pursed her lips in a very disappointed look.
Sorry but it doesn’t work
“Good job then.”
Hong Eun-young stared at my back for a long time with her empty face.
She must have paid for my swearing inside.
I smiled lightly.
Anyway, this is the end of my trip to Okinawa.
“Thank you for your hard work, Kang Jeong-hyeok, Transcendentalist! Would you like to return right away?”
“The gas is finished. If you want, we can leave right away.”
Leaving behind the voices of the soldiers, I raise my head and look up at the sky before boarding the military aircraft.
A breathtakingly blue expanse comes into view.
“The weather is dirty once again.”
I don’t know when I’ll be visiting this place again, but I don’t think it was such a bad time.
However, it’s just a little disappointing to have to leave that beautiful Chihiro behind.
“Let’s go.”
I boarded a military aircraft that I had never seen before.
“Anyway, I really didn’t think he would come.”
No matter how busy you are, can’t you at least send me off at the end?
Chihiro didn’t show up at the airport until the plane crossed the runway and lifted into the sky.
* * *
In the distance outside the window of the director’s office of the Awakening Bureau, a black plane can be seen taking off.
Chihiro stared blankly at the scene and repeatedly squeezed and untied his bare hands.
“SA yo na Ra.”
She deliberately did not go out to see her off.
I haven’t even encountered the man’s shadow since I saw him in the break room last night.
For no other reason.
It just felt like it was supposed to be like this.
“Can we meet again…?”
But when he saw the plane take off, one side of his chest felt very uncomfortable.
But I have no regrets.
It was only now that she realized why her instincts had rejected the man’s last farewell.
“Black…”
He would never have been able to stand it.
These tears running down both cheeks right now.
Maybe he was caught ugly.
Even forgetting that agents of the Awakening General Bureau are watching.
Because she knew for sure that she would collapse helplessly in the face of her farewell with that man, her instincts probably did not allow her to have an end with that man.
“I miss you…”
Chihiro sobbed quietly.
I want to see that man right now.
However, this is something that I would never allow myself to do as a representative of Okinawa.
Currently in Okinawa, there are a lot of things that are dozens of hundreds of times more important than these personal feelings.
“…”
Barely clearing her heart, she wiped away her tears and wiped her snot.
And she silently makes a promise.
In the distant future
When stable peace comes to this precious Okinawa.
At that time, I will definitely go to meet him.
In order to bring that day forward even a little, I can’t just cry like an idiot like this.
Match!
“You can do it.”
She slapped both of her own cheeks.
So much so that it blows my mind.
“Ouch…”
However, because I was too motivated, I made a mistake in controlling my strength.
“Princess. The vice president of Awake Lady from Korea is here.”
“Yes. I’m leaving right now.”
She hurriedly checked the mirror.
A face flushed red.
She quickly rubbed both her cheeks and headed outside.
* * *
“Haaam…”
She yawned and went to her office.
It’s already been a month since I went to Okinawa.
The establishment of the company’s Okinawa branch proceeded smoothly, and the dispatch of transcendentalists, including Yuri Park, was completed.
No country knows the current atmosphere of the town, but on the surface it seems peaceful without anything happening.
At least that’s what the report said.
No matter how much I put up various defenses, it’s a little surprising that the Japanese guys are so quiet as if they were dead.
It’s obvious that he’s plotting something, but since there’s no way to know right away, he’s just sitting by the sidelines.
“Huh? You went to work early.”
When I showed up at the office in the morning, the staff were puzzled.
Either way, I’m just asking my questions.
“Has the laboratory not contacted you?”
“Even if it’s not the case, I tried to tell you. It’s difficult to process, but the ways to use it are endless. They say it has excellent defense capabilities. However, it seems that processing with fiber materials will be difficult… I’ll try to research it.”
This is a story about scales recovered from Okinawa.
I think now I know why Japan, the US, and even China have been anxious about not being able to buy each other for the past several years.
“Is there any other way to use it other than for the Awakened?”
“As the boss expected, it’s close to perfect as a replacement for reinforced metal. Whether it’s for military or industrial use, it’s worth it…”
Hehe. They say that too, right?”
As I laughed bitterly, the female employee’s eyebrows trembled slightly.
“Yeah…But, are you going to sell everything? The vice president thinks our company is monopolizing.”
“I have to sell it. How much is it all for?”
Money… I’m earning well enough.
As the number of transcendentalists belonging to the company tells us.
However, it is still far from enough.
I haven’t even paid off the loan on this building yet.
Besides, there are so many things I want to buy, but now the bee has no choice.
First of all, I want to have a few private planes so I don’t have to borrow the president’s power like last time, and it’s better to have a warehouse and a dedicated runway to store the planes.
You have to hire management personnel or pilots accordingly…
Even though I only want to have a few planes, it is still a long way.
“Well, aside from the lab side, what about the other side?”
“It’s already familiar, but since the boss visited Okinawa the other day, requests for dispatch from more and more countries are flooding in.”
“That’s right. First of all, turn them around one by one, starting with the highest unit price. It would be a little dangerous to dispatch to multiple places at the same time because there are a lot of transcendentalists, so go in order.”
“I’m doing that. But there’s a problem.”
“Problem?”
“Yes. The place with the highest unit price is, of course, China.”
China? Wasn’t it a town that even transcendentalists were covered by population?
When I ask, the female employee brings up a story with a mysterious expression.
“That’s right. The media is tightly controlled, so we can’t accurately grasp the situation of internal gates in China, but there have been no suspicious movements over the past few years, right? There was nothing special about the intelligence provided by the Blue House.”
I nodded and told him to continue.
“But yesterday, a sudden dispatch request came. And that, while pointing directly to the boss.”
“Didn’t I tell you that I won’t be going to another country for a while?”
“I know. So I was going to refuse… But the… The amount offered by the Chinese side…”
I asked, narrowing my eyes.
“How long have you been?”
After taking one deep breath, she opened her mouth.
“How much… 2 trillion won.”
“…What?!”
It was so absurd that I was speechless.
Of course, my value is only 2 trillion won, but there has been no case of offering 2 trillion won for a one-time business trip.
“Couldn’t it be Yuan?”
“It’s a dollar, sir.”
“Right.”
I pondered for a moment before opening my mouth.
“For now, shall we look at the contents of the request?”
“Even if it’s not, I’m in the middle of a vice president meeting about this.”
“What? Without me?”
“Yes.”
It’s very easygoing.
“Where do you do it? A conference room?”
“No. He’s probably talking in Vice President Ahn’s room.”
“Yeah. Well done watching. See you then.”
I didn’t even look back and headed to Sora Ahn’s room.
No, why are these women trying to decide the issue of my dispatch among themselves?
I said yes or no, but this will not work.
I hurried my steps with an expressionless face.
