Chapter 14 – Negotiation(2)

“Kuhmm…Yeah, I didn’t ask the most important thing. What is your name?”
“…It’s Goyucheon.”

Before starting the conversation, Lee Man-seong asked Yoochun’s name.

“So you want citizenship?”
“Yes”
“Hmm…”
When Yoochun said he wanted citizenship, Lee Manseong narrowed his eyes and glared at him.

“…Let me ask you one thing…Are you a villain?”

‘It’s misunderstood’

Korea had three rankers lined up on this narrow piece of land. In addition, the level of awakened people is also excellent by world standards.

Unlike countries where governments do not exercise their power, South Korea still has strong control, and it was not difficult for citizens to obtain citizenship.

In such a situation, if you see a Korean without citizenship, you have no choice but to be suspicious.
But what can I do? Yuchun doesn’t even know if he is a citizen of this world or not. But it’s not that there isn’t a way.

“Exactly, I want Killian’s citizenship… I… Honestly don’t know.”
“What do you mean?”
“I can not remember. All I remember is that my name is Ko Yu-cheon and a few other things. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the awakened spirits.”

Yoochun decided to write ‘I can’t remember’, a staple of games, comics, and novels. That’s not entirely wrong. I really don’t know anything about the unique stream here.

‘It’s not a lie, so I can’t catch it’
And that’s not all.
“By the way, have you ever heard of a villain like me in the first place?”
Because he is a villain who has achieved the 3rd transcendence by completely overpowering the named… Not only Korea, but the whole world would have perished long ago.

“Right…”
At this word, the light of doubt in Lee Man-seong’s eyes was withdrawn a little.
Lee Man-seong, who seemed to understand her words to some extent, nodded her head.

“Did you say Go Yoo-chun? Yes, there are still a lot of questions left, but it’s okay if it’s you. Although he is a human, the problem that arises from the fact that he is still a monster has not been resolved. We have to prove that he can live with humans in a city.”
“…”
‘Prove Killian’s social skills…’
That is also true. I trusted him and brought him, but if he destroys the city at will, there is no answer. I was thinking about how to convince him.

-I’m different from the named monster you’re talking about.
Killian, who was watching quietly from the side, brought out his words.

“What part is different?”
-Just as you inners have intellects, our outers also have intellects like me. We call ourselves demons.
Killian explained the structure of the outer dimension more briefly than he explained to me in the cave, and what monsters and demons were.

“…That’s amazing.”

Conversation is a high-level communication system that only organisms that make up society can do. I expected it at the time Killian spoke, but Lee Man-seong was quite surprised that a society like theirs was formed in the outer dimension as if he had heard that there was a city in the sea.

“But how is it not known? Haven’t you seen or heard of such beings during your mercenary activities as a ranker in the central world for decades?”

-I don’t know either. But…

Killian narrowed his brows and said.

– I’ve heard of it at first glance. A very long time ago, there was quite an active exchange between us demons and inners.

“Do you have any records? Where did you hear that?”

– I don’t know exactly either. But only once, I’ve heard of a bard’s song ever having it. It was quite interesting, I remembered it.

At Killian’s words, Yang Ha-yeon, who had been quiet until now, opened her eyes.

‘Trying to find out what I am curious about is the same as this time’

Yoochun remembered several episodes in the game with Hayeon Yang, a high ranker.

Normally, he’s calm, but when he’s curious, he creates all sorts of problems. At that time, that impulsive curiosity was uneasy because of the various problems she caused.

“The 7 monsters created by the creator god…”
-The first monsters, the ancestors of all life in the outer dimension. It is said that the person who met and talked with one of them, the traitor behind the flow, recorded it and turned it into a song.

“But how come no one knows now? That there was such a time? And why do we inners know nothing about you demons?”

-I do not know. I am a warrior, not a scholar, human. How do I know if it’s a lie or who deleted it?

‘I deleted it…?’

Killian’s blunt words stuck in Yoochun’s head.

“…Erased?”

And it seems that Yang Ha-yeon was the same.

‘Erased history… To be precise, there was one empty history.
“History of extinction…”

Tens of thousands of years ago, the most devastating era, the corpse filling up the sea, not the river, the 150-year-long blank period when nothing was left to posterity for fear of such a thing happening again, it was called the history of extinction.
The reason I remember that is that the Creator’s ‘Last Legacy’ disappeared then.

‘But…Then it doesn’t match’

“It’s strange… It’s about 75,000 years ago…”
“Ha Yeon-yang.”

“And the outer invasion began exactly 54,061 years ago. But to say that he had been in contact with the outer dimension 20,000 years ago…”

“Miss Ha Yeon!”
“Ah…”
“Please stop.”
“…”

“I don’t know what you mean, but that sounds like a very, very dangerous story. You shouldn’t know.”
“…”
Yuchun also knew that this history was contradictory. The bard could have just made up the words, but Yoochun’s intuition was telling.
That’s a rice cake related to the main episode near the end of ‘Last Legacy’.

“Sorry…”
Everyone except Killian, who had no idea here, intuited that an unimaginable force was involved in this contradiction.

In that situation, no matter how curious Yang Ha-yeon was, she couldn’t jump into something that would lead to her death.

Yang Ha-yeon’s expression remained the same as she realized that her curiosity almost caused trouble again, but the way she stayed still with her mouth shut seemed to be downcast.

Chilly atmosphere. Yuchun thought he should get away from this topic quickly.

“Anyway, did this prove that Killian is a human-like intelligence capable of conversing and understanding society?”

“Then… I may be offended, but I will only ask Miss Killian… You were originally a monster, after all, weren’t you? Is there any chance that it will cause problems? Please be honest.”

‘He’s a much more flexible person than I thought.’

I realized that Lee Man-seong has a more flexible thinking than I initially thought about acknowledging that he was an intelligent body and respecting him in the explanation of less than 30 minutes.
Perhaps that sweet pumpkin-like attitude at the beginning is due to the fear of the unmanageable and the high-energy atmosphere.

In addition, even though it is not polite, as a person who protects citizens, he has the responsibility to ask questions.

I could see that he was a much better person compared to his first image, with responsibility and flexibility coexisting.

-Um… All I have to do is not take out my biological glove, which is my unique ability. At that time, I lost my reason and moved by instinct. Embarrassingly… That was the reason I came to Earth.

“What? What else do you mean by that?”

Yoochun was surprised by the words and asked.
I’ve heard that if you don’t have biological armor, you lose your sanity, but it’s the first time I’ve heard that that was the reason I came to Earth.

-Um… Actually…
.
.
.
“So… I met a strong monster in the outer dimension and fought and activated it, but I lost my temper and went on like that until now? Then, because of the monster’s instinct to look for the strong, he finds me and lashes out as soon as he sees me?

-Um… That’s right. Even though I almost died, I’m grateful for bringing me back to my senses.

“…”
Yoochun was taken aback by the fact that the fundamental reason for all these problems was that he couldn’t dismantle the biological armor.

“First of all, please never take it out in the city. And during her outside activities, her Yuchun-kun will always stick with her. That is her first condition as the president of the association.”

– I will. Anyway, I don’t take it out well unless I’m in danger of dying.

To act together during outdoor activities meant that Yoochun and Killian should always move together wherever they went.

‘Well, there’s no problem.’
Except for her inflexibility, she’s a super talented person, and I don’t know why, but she sticks to my words.

“Yes, I will.”

“Once the framework is set, let’s go back and talk about the rest…”

“Ugh-!”
At that moment, Lee Do-gyeong, who had passed out, woke up.

“Do-kyung! Are you okay?”
Lee Man-sung and Yang Ha-yeon, who had been silent until now, approached him.

“Keuuu… Why did they… What… What happened?”
“Seriously, I will explain everything.”

*

“That’s how it happened.”
Except for dangerous stories such as the history of extinction, Lee Do-kyung has heard all the stories that have happened so far.

“I thought it was risky, but not bad. What do you think?”
“If that’s all true, I think it’s a good deal.”

Lee Do-gyeong didn’t know much about Yoochun, but he thought that just by acquiring those two, Korea would be able to acquire at least dozens or hundreds of rankers.

“Instead, only the people here should know about this.”
“Yes. You must not inform the guild or the government.”

If you know that there is a being in Korea who can overturn the world with two people if you decide to go wild, and if you know that one of them is a demon, there will be an uproar.

Yang Ha-yeon has decided to help hide Killian’s demonic spirit, so you just have to be careful until then.

“Ah!”
“Why is that? Yucheon-gun”

Contrary to the first image of putting arrows into Yoochun’s head without end, Lee Dokyung was a gentle person.

‘It is not important’
Yoochun thought of something serious that she had forgotten about because of endless troubles, and she carefully brought her words out, thinking about how to say it.

“Um…As you all know, this is the home of those dead villains.”

“Yes, I expected it after checking the appearances of some of the wanted villains I knew from the time I came here. But why?”

‘It’s quite difficult to bring bad things out of your mouth.’
Yuchun hesitated, then realized that he couldn’t help but speak up.
“… There is a woman down here.”
“”…””
Realizing the situation as soon as they heard it, the faces of Lee Do-gyeong and Lee Man-seong were embarrassingly distorted, and Yang Ha-yeon’s slightly sullen mood hardened like ice.

“…I didn’t see the situation…But from what I’ve heard from Killian…It’s not looking good…I’m sorry. Just saying that now…”

Fast…

“Dog-like villains…”
“I’ll be there.”
Lee Man-seong, the head of a group that protects the people from the Awakeners and monsters, gnashed his teeth in anger, and Yang Ha-yeon quickly headed there.

“Killian, I will follow you too”
-Hmm? Should I go too?
“Help me to ask for help”
– Hmm… Got it.

Lee Man-sung, Lee Do-kyung, and Yoochun couldn’t go because they were men, and they sent Jira Killian, who was expected to be a difficult scene even for a ranker woman to handle alone.

“”…””
The two remaining were suppressing their guilt and anger, and Yuchun looked at them bitterly and spoke.
“Then… The sun will set soon… Let’s go back after taking care of the woman.”

So while nothing has gone according to Yuchun’s own plan, she is able to enter the city much sooner than she expected.
