Chapter 343 – Punishment
Whether onlookers were watching or not, June took Dennis’ diary and other evidence to prove the existence of elf-onlyists and headed straight to the council.
Nahiru, who had not yet left work, greeted him with a sigh of relief.
At first glance, it seemed like Jun was relieved that he returned safely without any incident, but Jun saw it clearly.
He saw her exchanging secret glances with the lieutenant just before greeting him.
To put it bluntly, her relief was relief that Jun had not had a major accident.
‘Did I seem like such a dangerous person?’
Well, it was true that he was breaking the law and principles, so he had nothing to feel bad about.
However, the situation was a little different.
No, don’t do that, just ask outright.
It feels strange to let go of the person in front of you and exchange glances so secretly!
Why? Why do I feel like an inferior male who lost his wife to her co-worker?
I don’t know why, but I really feel…
Adam
‘Hmm, it’s not that bad at all.’
Looking at Hiru’s very small breasts, the feeling of her vertical descent was restored to its original state.
If it were her and her husband, wouldn’t she have willingly stamped her divorce?
“… Cardinal, what are you thinking right now?”
“I’m not thinking about anything in particular.”
“Do not lie! Then why are you looking at my breasts so pitifully!”
Nahiru runs towards Jun with dew hanging around her eyes.
Jun comforted her by taking out the evidence she had quickly packed.
He then explained how he would like her to change his existing plan, and Nahiru listened to his explanation with a serious expression, as if he had just gone crazy.
So the next morning.
As soon as the sun rose in the morning, Nahiru called together the ministers of each ministry and all members of parliament.
Although they were puzzled, they gathered together, and they were all astonished upon hearing the information that Nahiru revealed with her evidence, who soon appeared with a solemn expression.
However, although they were equally astonished, the reasons were divided into two.
People of different races other than elves were astonished by the existence and purpose of elf-monism that elves should raise people of different races other than elves.
On the other hand, the elves were shocked by the fact that Jun had violated the laws and principles of Elance in order to find out, not its existence and purpose.
It was a passage that showed how many elves implicitly had thoughts similar to uniqueism.
If the Unitarians had stretched out their hands asking to become comrades, wouldn’t they have joined hands willingly?
The problem was that elves who implicitly sympathized with the idea of monotheism occupied more than half of the ministerial and assemblyman positions.
Actually, it wasn’t surprising.
In fact, it was not uncommon to say that the Elance United Kingdom was a country of elves, with elves holding most of the important positions in the country.
No matter how rational a person may be, if he controls a country, he cannot avoid the desire to dominate.
It was rather strange that Nahiru had not lost his balance even though he had been reappointed as chairman several times.
Anyway, when Nahiru suggested that an elf-singularist be put on a wanted list, they did not accept the suggestion, saying that Jun, who violated the laws and principles of Elance, should be punished first.
If Nahiru hadn’t sided with the other races, he would have decided to punish Jun rather than put a bounty on the Unitarians.
The elves took a strong stance to that extent, and as a result, each ministry and council in Elance became so noisy that their functions were paralyzed.
What has Jun, the person who caused such a stir in the country, done so far?
Kwaang!
“Tsk! Heavenly horse! How on earth are you planning to mock this country?”
“If this country you’re talking about is the country of the elves, then I’m willing to ridicule you a hundred times, a thousand times.”
Regardless of whether his punishment plan was passed or not, or what the laws and principles of the Elance Alliance were, he arrested the elf-unitarians in the same way as before.
The elves in the council unanimously criticized him for his attitude, but he could not do anything more.
Even if I wanted to directly tell him not to go on a rampage anymore, I couldn’t open my mouth when I was in front of him.
Even if they were imprisoned in prison, it was meaningless as they would just cut through the barrier surrounding the prison with a single sword and disappear through space.
Even if he wanted to incite public opinion and mobilize the army, Nahiru, the spiritual leader of the Elance Alliance, was completely preventing it, and to make matters worse, public opinion was already on Jun’s side.
It wasn’t like that at first.
At first, public opinion looked down on Jun, who did not care about the laws and principles of Elance.
They say it’s because of public matters rather than private matters, but it still doesn’t mean they’re breaking the law or principles.
It was natural for public opinion to think that way because they could not know in detail the reality of elf-monism and the situation that was happening in the National Assembly.
However, public opinion gradually changed as time passed.
It was thanks to the warrior party that was active separately from Jun.
Public opinion was very important in a democratic society.
It is inevitable that new laws and principles may be created or existing laws and principles may be modified or deleted depending on public opinion.
As his reincarnation, Jun knew this very well, and when he made plans to capture the Unitarians, the first thing he thought about was how to attract public opinion.
And the result was that he formed a warrior’s party with the remaining wives except Dohwa and Gungseong, who would help him, and then sent them on an expedition that is an integral part of the story of a warrior.
Romance existed in this world as well.
Upon hearing the news that a warrior party, which had only been heard about, was going on an expedition like in a fairy tale, public opinion immediately focused on the warrior party.
No matter what happened to the activists who had never been heard of, or whether a single person broke the law and principles and went crazy, public opinion was more concerned with whether one could appear on television, or rather, in the story of a warrior.
Amid such attention, the warrior party did its job brilliantly.
He safely accomplished tasks that the government did not care about or was unaware of, such as cleaning up a family that did not do their job and being tyrannical, and trusting the words of a child who had been criticized as a liar and going into the mountains to catch high-risk monsters.
Well, it was a natural result since there was a lucky angel in the group.
In any case, public opinion naturally sided with the hero party, and the hero party handed over the public opinion they had built on their backs to Jun.
As a result, although it is not a familiar image, the image of a heavenly devil was created who punishes sinners solely according to the will of heaven, without being bound by earthly laws and principles.
In this way, public opinion expressed fear and respect for Jun, calling him the Heavenly Demon, and neither cheered nor criticized him for what he did.
No matter how much the elves in the council agitated, it did not change, and because of the evidence accumulating day by day due to Jun’s activities, they had no choice but to raise the white flag.
“Cardinal Jun, the opponents say they will agree to a bounty plan for the elf-onlyists.”
“Good for you. Then let’s take the next step.”
Nahiru nodded at Jun’s instructions.
From the day the council officially placed the elf-monitarian on a wanted list, a rumor began to circulate in the world.
There is a rumor that Cheonma has a nectarine tree, a divine tree from another world.
‘Now, are you going to ask? Are you not going to bite? Well, in the end, I will choose the former.’
Comrades are being arrested day by day.
The surrounding situation is rapidly worsening.
The appearance of the goal I had been searching for so long under such adverse conditions.
You can never give up.
If you can achieve your goal, you will be able to achieve your ultimate goal even if it takes some time.
Jun and Cheonma smiled and waited for their prey to catch the bait they threw.
――――――
“Did you think the rumor was true?”
“Yes… When I got closer… It felt very friendly and warm. My friends… I think it’s clear that Shinsoo is by my side.”
“… I guess so.”
The man couldn’t help but laugh at the elf girl’s answer.
This is because the current situation was so humiliating and absurd that I had no choice but to crawl into a trap set by the enemy even though I knew it was a trap.
How did things get to this point?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure it out. The comrades followed instructions and thoroughly hid their identities and did not make any major mistakes.
However, he did not know when his future and that of his comrades would go out like a lamp in the wind.
If we run away like this, the spirit of elf singularism will disappear into darkness forever.
That was something that had to be prevented.
And there was only one way to stop it.
In the end, the man made a choice.
The enemy decided to move as Cheonma wanted.
“But the results will never go your way, Heavenly Demon. Dahlia, please tell your comrades. “Prepare because we will launch an all-out offensive that will put the future of Unitarianism at stake.”
After giving her instructions, her man began to worry about protecting the future of himself and his comrades.
He didn’t know because he only looked ahead.
“…”
The fact that Dahlia, an elf girl who joined the Unitarianism solely for the sake of a peaceful daily life, is looking at her own back indifferently.
