Chapter 1586 – [Coming Out]

After coming out, Eden and I next receive questions from reporters. However, even now that we are being asked questions, isn’t there still a lot of news and articles going on with titles like ‘The true identity of the evil emperor and the Wakamo shrine maiden!!!’?

Well, you can check that later after question time. First, let’s solve the problem at hand slowly.

“I’m curious as to why you two hid your identities. If you were going to reveal it like this, wouldn’t you have been able to reveal your identities from the beginning?”

“Oh, that’s for Eden.”

“Wakamo… No, you mean Ms. Choi Eden?”

“Yes, people’s attention can be both good and bad, so receiving a lot of attention at a young age can be problematic. My daughter just became an adult this year and entered college, and she was a minor when she debuted and worked as a Wakamo shrine maiden. “

“Ah!!! Now that I think about it, Ms. Choi Eden’s age is…”

People in the know recognized that Eden’s age was one that had just been released as a minor this year. Even if you do simple calculations, she is at the age where she received compulsory education a few years ago when she was working as a wakamo shrine maiden.

People are surprised to see Eden working as a world-class talent at such a young age. Honestly, if you compare the level of Eden, it is rare to go to a dimensional civilization, so it is an obvious story on Earth.

“But now that our daughter is an adult, she doesn’t think she can hide it forever. She thought that one day she would have to reveal her true identity, so she set today as that day.”

“You’re the worst!!! I understand that Ms. Eden’s father runs a restaurant with the same name. Is that correct?”

“Oh, yes. That’s right.”

“You are a poor emperor, but are you self-employed?”

“People have to work. Personally, I am a person who believes that one should earn money by sweating. Also, I like cooking, and I am good at it.”

“If you work as a fortune-teller, you will be able to earn a lot of money that you cannot earn through self-employment.”

“I’m not particularly interested in that.”

I’ll make more money that way, but I don’t want to make money from that. Besides, I don’t like having to please the person who gives me money.

I think it’s the same when running a store, but it varies depending on the amount received. If you work as a thug, it’s at least hundreds of millions of won, and in a store, if a customer eats it like Eden, it’s a few million won, but of course the weight is different.

Just as with great power comes great responsibility, with great money comes great responsibility. And even if I had a lot of money anyway, I wouldn’t be able to use it all, so there’s no need.

“I have a question for Ms. Eden. There was an uproar over what you said as a streamer. Are you sure you were thinking about this?”

“Yes, I was planning on getting a little excited and revealing my identity slowly, but I ended up revealing it in a place like this unexpectedly. I don’t think I would have said anything problematic, but there are a lot of people who have malicious intent and are trying to slander me with that.”

“Haha, but Wakamo Shrine’s true identity was Ms. Eden… Then would you like to say something to those people?”

Due to the incident between Eden and Wakamo, Eden suffered so much damage that he refrained from broadcasting and was even attacked on social media. But now it’s over there where it looks funny.

Because the Wakamo shaman they were thinking about was Eden and no one else. She was in a similar situation to someone who spit in my face.

“Well, what should I say? Since I did it without knowing, I plan to forgive most of it. However, those who continued to act with malicious intent will be punished legally.”

“Actually, I feel like tearing them all down, but know that Eden survived thanks to you, you bastards. It’s a good thing that no media company here seems to have said anything to Eden.”

In the first place, such media companies were mostly trashed media companies, so there would be no such people in the conference hall where carefully selected reporters were gathered.

However, when I said that I was tearing people down, a cold air appeared in the interview room. Is it because the sound of me, a person with a disfigurement, making people angry is so relatable?

My appearance is normal, but when I frown or get angry, my old dirty eyes come out. I don’t know about other times, but when I lose my temper, harsh words seem to be more persuasive.

“So, next question.”

“Yes, yes… If you think about it, the name of the Garden of Eden and Miss Eden are the same. What is the relationship between those names?”

“Ah, that was me first. Keter and I created the Garden of Eden together, and later we named it after me and named it the Garden of Eden.”

“Like Kether?”

“And speaking of which, it seems like Keter is the owner of the Garden of Eden, but in reality, Keter and I own half the shares. If there is anyone who is dissatisfied with me broadcasting from the Garden of Eden and inviting people, I will do whatever the owner wants. “I just want to tell you not to worry about it because it’s just that.”

“The Garden of Eden?!”

“To jointly own the Garden of Eden, not just any other place…!!!”

Come to think of it, this is the first time I’m revealing that fact.

Usually, he was promoting Keter like he was the boss of his pants. No, Keter also has ownership, so isn’t he the owner of the pants?

“If you have a stake in the Garden of Eden, I would like to ask about the Garden of Eden’s future policies. Do you have any plans to open the Garden of Eden to the private sector?”

“As Keter said before, I have a plan. This time, I also revealed my identity, so you will be able to hear good news in the near future.”

“Ah!!! I see!!!!”

“Are you going to sell the elixir separately?! There are a lot of people interested in that!!!!”

“We plan to keep the elixir for sale. It is not an elixir for internal use, and if such an elixir is sold for money, the problem will not end there.”

Ah, the elixir problem. It was the same when it was broadcast before, but it’s still on again now.

But I won’t sell that elixir. Not only can Keter not be able to make elixirs here forever, but selling such elixirs would cause more harm than good.

It’s full of trouble for no reason, but there’s no need to do it. The elixir will continue to be not for sale unless something else happens.

Eden and I dealt with reporters and answered various questions. Thanks to this, the press conference took longer than expected, but it wasn’t boring, perhaps because we were the main characters.

“Eden Choi is a model, a streamer, and a student at Seoul National University. She is also talented. I am curious about how she will continue to work in the future.”

“Well, I’m still twenty years old.”

“Yes?”

“I’m at the age where I want to do everything I want to do. Moreover, when I was a minor, I couldn’t do something that would draw people’s attention, so I purposely stayed off social media. So, while I’m attending college, I’m going to enjoy my youth, try a private room, work as a model, and have fun doing that.”

“Ah, that means you do everything. Then which one is the main one? I guess it’s the one with superpowers who is a Wakamo shrine maiden, right?”

“No, I’m going to be a chef.”

“Yes?”

“As I get older, I may quit one by one, but if there is one thing I will continue to do until the end, it is to be a chef. Someday, I want to open my own restaurant and serve my cooking to customers.”

When I hear a story like that, I think my dad will cry with joy… Obviously, being a chef is hard work, but I’m worried that my child is working hard to do the same job as his dad, but at the same time, it’s very touching.

I remember a time ago when Eden held a ladle for her first birthday party. Our Eden must have dreamed of becoming a chef ever since.

“Seeing that the Emperor of Evil is trying to open a relatively small restaurant, not a large restaurant, and Miss Eden is trying to open her own store, I get the feeling that they are father and daughter, even if they don’t know it from the outside.”

“Thank you for saying that. To be honest, when you go out, there are more people who don’t see you as father and daughter.”

Well, other people don’t see Eden and me as father and daughter because we don’t look alike at all. Besides, Eden is mature for his age, and I am young enough to be considered a man with a daughter. They look like they are the same age, so what is the relationship between father and daughter?

But regardless of that, Eden and I are father and daughter. No one can deny that.

Although it was quite long, the press conference was slowly coming to a close. We couldn’t take questions from reporters all day long, so we had to cut off at an appropriate place.

“Question time ends here.”

“Mr. Choiak, just one more thing…!!!!”

“Did the Heavenly Demon of the Sun and Moon God Kingdom know the identity of the evil emperor? Please tell me!!!”

It’s not like I have to answer all my questions before I can go home, and it’s a hassle to ask reporters questions. Anyway, we have a lot of time now, so let me know slowly.

“Now that I’ve revealed my identity, you can ask any questions you have later, either by sitting down or catching me. I think I’ve answered the most important things today, so I’ll end here.”

“Ah…”

“This concludes the conference. I would like to express my gratitude to the distinguished guests who gathered today and I look forward to your continued support.”

I bowed my head to the people and greeted them politely. On the other hand, it also meant that now that my identity was revealed, I would be polite to some extent.

Of course, I’m not saying that I will restrain myself, I will punish those who cross the line, but that doesn’t mean I will act like an asshole. It is similar to the difference between behavior when anonymity is guaranteed and behavior when it is not.

That’s how the press conference ended. On the way home, Eden and I check people’s reactions through the news and social media on our phones.

One scary thing is that when I revealed my identity, the number of followers suddenly started to skyrocket on social media for promoting and announcing our store. Although it had a certain level of fame similar to that of a local restaurant, it was now running into billions of dollars.

“I guess I should turn off the alarm. But what good is it for a fool like me to follow? You’re not even going to come to our store.”

[It seems like you can’t look at yourself objectively.]

“Dad is always like that.”

“No, what did I do?!”

“If you look at my dad, he has self-criticism and self-loathing as his foundation, so when he evaluates himself, he sees it as a negative.”

[So, isn’t that what you like about the Absolute of negativity and contradiction? The choice between rape play or reverse rape play!!!!]

“Either choice is extreme, you~.”

“What are we doing?”

The reaction on the Internet was a series of astonishment and surprise. Moreover, the fact that Eden was a real Wakamo shaman and that I, who only spoke as a voice in Eden’s room, was actually an evil emperor, seemed to be an even bigger shock.

Since the two of them were father and daughter… It would be crazy to have so much information coming at you at once.

-What? What the hell am I?

-Isn’t this like a public hidden camera?

-No, why did Nunna come out there…?

-An unimaginable identity ㄴ0ㄱ

-Wow, streamer Choi Eden was actually a Wakamo shrine maiden and her father was an evil emperor? If it hadn’t been officially announced, I would have thought it was crazy.

-Where have all the friends in the forest gone? Nunna is a Wakamo shrine maiden!!!!

-Kkkk idiots kkkk I guess I was annoyed because I didn’t want to be left behind by the evil emperor.

-Looking at it now, it looks like the people who wrote the outrageous comments are being deleted. But I left the archive lol.

-Wait a minute, so the people going to the Garden of Eden this time will be entertained by Kether, the Wakamo shaman, and the evil emperor?

-… Huh?

-Isn’t it a golden ticket?

-I caught the winner.

-Can’t it is transferred or sold?

-It would be immediate family or just that. I won’t be able to sell it because I have to verify it separately.

-But what happens to people who make sex comments to Nunna?

-Hyeongje, I didn’t give a sex lip. This article was written by our cat.

-If someone wearing a raccoon mask knocks on your door, think that they are coming.

-But Eden Choi lived near my house… Was she a Wakamo shaman? Oh, if she waits in front of it, you can see her face?

-Where are you going? I’m going right away.

“Write.”

As expected, my identity was revealed, so of course my personal information became known, and just like that, my house became known to people.

In the first place, thanks to Eden, this is our home where no one knows. Even before she debuted as a model, she was pretty and helped revitalize the surrounding commercial area, so she was not only a celebrity, but a celebrity, and she deserved it because she even came out as a wakamo shrine maiden upon her debut as a model.

Maybe the way home would be quite difficult. And as expected, even though it was not rush hour on the way to my house, the road was clogged with people and cars couldn’t even get in front of my house. The good news is that no one noticed that we were in the car yet.

[What should I do? By flying? Or tear into the dimension?]

“I broke the identity anyway, but do you have something to hide? And why do I have to enter my house through the back door?”

“You sound like an angry homunculus.”

First, Eden talks a lot. It’s annoying because there are so many people. Why should we have to resort to shortcuts to get into the house just because we committed some crime or made a mistake?

So we got off at the alley in front of our house where cars are not allowed. Eden and Keter were two people, so we stood out so much that people spotted us as soon as we got off.

“Hey!!!! It’s Wakamo Shrine!!!!”

“Eden is snowing!!!!”

“Waaaaa!!!!”

“A disgrace!!! The worst man!!! Please give me an autograph!!!!”

“Keter!!!! Can I just touch the horns on your head once?!”

“Don’t push!!! I’m suffocating!!! Hey!!!!!”

A lot of people who can’t be controlled. Humans are a species that exert great power when large numbers of people gather together to form a society, but large numbers of people without rules and uncontrolled are likely to cause problems.

Moreover, many people were gathered in an alley and fighting against each other, and when they found us, they tried to come this way and were crushed, so if they made a mistake, people could get hurt or even die.

If someone dies in front of my house for no reason, I don’t care about the price of the house, but I feel bad and worried. In response, I used my telekinetic powers to restrain and capture all the people who flocked in.

“Huh?! Huh?!?!”

“My body isn’t moving!!!!!”

“Wow, sir, did the evil emperor do it?! Wow!!! That’s crazy!!!!!”

Some people were surprised and others were shocked as the movements of hundreds of people gathered in a narrow but not wide alley were restricted. Among them, there were people who liked the glimpses of my power, so the reactions were varied.

First, I spoke quietly to people regardless of that. Because it was spoken out of will, it is heard by everyone regardless of distance or number of people.

[This is a residential area where other people besides us live. If you make noise, it’s a nuisance, so please be quiet.]

“Wow!!! As if the words were being delivered directly to my head…”

“Is this what Keter is talking about?!”

[As you may know, we live here too. If you guys make a lot of noise, should I file a complaint or put you in the hospital? Think carefully about my usual personality.]

“…”

After shooting them with a little bit of life, they roughly move the people who can’t move out of the alley like objects, take them out, and head to the front of my house. Fortunately, no one had climbed over the wall yet, and there were no ugly things like corpse mushrooms in the yard.

However, looking at Keter who was following behind, someone asked with doubt.

“Huh? Why are you going in with Keter?”

[I am staying in this house.]

“Yes?!”

Come to think of it, people didn’t know where Keter lived. Most people probably think that Keter lives in the Garden of Eden… Thanks to this, there will be a lot of Keter fans.

The many problems that arise after coming out begin now. It won’t be quiet for a while.

… Once things calm down a bit, I feel like going on a leisurely trip to a quiet place.
