Chapter 1608 – [Echo]

From the day I started harassing the people who talked nonsense to Eden until that weekend, I was busy killing people. Some people went to great lengths to avoid death, while others foolishly chose to commit suicide.

Well, I would like to say that the person who chose suicide was wise in its own way. No matter what punishment he received, at least he could have died without suffering.

And there were times when society raised questions about my behavior. Especially in current affairs and political programs.

-What the Hungry Emperor did was beyond the line!!!! No, hundreds of people have been killed so far, but the police and judicial authorities just sit there and watch!!! So, we need to create and regulate laws against such opponents!!!!

Well, the statement itself is not strange. Because it is necessary to take action such as regulating people who act in defiance of the law.

I can’t deny that either. There was just a difference between not being able to deny what was said and putting it into practice.

-So what do you mean?

-Are you saying that you are advocating the evil emperor?

-Do not make leaps. I was just asking about your opinion on how to regulate evil practices.

The debate was quite intense, but it was obvious who would win. No matter how much I cried for freedom and laws in modern society, there was nothing I could do about my existence and its power. It’s not for no reason that the police or judicial authorities are turning a blind eye to me.

-The evil emperor is a person with stronger powers than the Heavenly Demon. Even if the U.S. Becomes an enemy country, there is nothing we can do if there is a threat. But you want to regulate evil practices by law? How can we really control him?

-But if we leave him alone, the rule of law…

-So the best option is to just leave it alone.

-What?

-He said that was the best choice.

The person who defended me was not because they were specifically taking my side, but it seemed like they were just people who had a good grasp of reality. In some ways, you could say that he is a realist, and that may be why he made some practical remarks.

So I kind of like it. It also means that we have adapted to this era.

-There are more than one case in which the Republic of Korea benefited from having an evil emperor. It is also the first time that we have escaped invasion from the Heavenly Demon of the Sun and Moon God Kingdom. But put the Emperor in prison and arrest him? Will Korea, sandwiched between powerful countries, be okay?

-Even so, murder is a serious crime.

-Then let it happen.

-Are you denying this society under the rule of law itself?

-It is nothing more than a social order created by ordinary humans with ordinary abilities. It is meaningless to an opponent who can destroy that society alone. If a vicious emperor goes around killing every human being in Korea, who can stop him?

-That…

-I can’t stop you. Rather, compared to the Heavenly Demon, it’s fortunate that he didn’t use his power for power or anything like that. And one thing could be predicted from this incident.

-What is that?

-This is the principle of action of evil spirits. To be honest, even though they say they are reincarnated, it is strange that they commit mass murder just because they insulted their own family. If you look at his usual appearance, you can see that he actually values ​​the law. However, if there is a reason for doing so… It is the obsession with dealing with threats to one’s family. So, there is an extreme defense mechanism.

“…”

I don’t have anything to say about that. In a way, it is true. It could be said that he hit the nail on the head.

Where is this person and what does he do? Is he a psychologist? He didn’t really have any intention of going for counseling, but he figured it wouldn’t hurt to at least know.

-As he is a reincarnation, he would not have had problems due to his own helplessness as he has been through repeated reincarnations. But that would have caused problems for his family. He probably had the experience of losing his family, and his actions appear to have originated from that.

-So, let’s accept his actions and move on?

-Anyway, his actions cannot be prevented. If that’s what you’re dissatisfied with, the evil emperor should probably leave. And as far as I know, the Emperor himself, Wakamo shaman, and Keter are currently living in the Emperor’s home. If Emperor Hung leaves, all three will leave. Can you take responsibility for that?

-No, that’s… Um…

-The evil emperor does not have to adapt to us, but we have to adapt to the evil emperor. The rule of law and the basic principles of a modern democratic society have long since been shattered when a person with superpowers capable of destroying a country appears. And to that extent, we also have to change our attitudes and thoughts.

Shion also watched the discussion program and nodded in agreement. Perhaps, as much as I am convinced, Shion also seems to acknowledge that some of what he said is correct.

“This is the opinion of a person adapting to a changing world.”

“It’s not fun to talk about politics because you’re both progressive and conservative, but the world is changing rapidly and if you don’t change, you’ll just be left out.”

No, it might not be the case in an ordinary world, but it would be reckless to try to maintain the current situation in such a crappy situation where the existence of a person with superpowers has been announced, a person with superpowers capable of destroying an entire country has appeared, and the existence of another dimension has also become known.

No matter how big or small, there is no choice but to change. If you can’t adapt to change, you will only be left behind.

… Actually, if Korea couldn’t adapt to me and ostracized me, I would have had to emigrate overseas or wipe out Korea itself.

As in the first episode, I still consider myself Korean, but my family is more important than the patriotism of that country, so do we need Korea to threaten that family? Just sweep it all away and erase the risk factor.

There was quite a lot of public opinion in Korea about my actions, but thanks to the information secretly spread by Zion, friendly public opinion prevailed. I didn’t really manipulate public opinion or anything, I just let people know what the malicious commenters, scoundrels, and other people I killed were doing.

Why do you see Eden… Ah, I write. I can’t talk because my blood pressure is high. If there are kids who would kill Rod because of high blood pressure, wouldn’t it be these guys?

Anyway, as they spread the writings and other things that Eden had read and wrote, public opinion naturally took our side. Of course, even if I couldn’t understand the murder, I still understood it.

-Wow hahathese words came from the mouth of a human bastard?

-I didn’t say it exactly, I wrote it.

-Even if it’s me, if my daughter hears something like this, I’ll go break those bastards.

-Before I saw this, I thought the corpse was a murderer, but looking at this, it doesn’t seem like murder, it just seems like a natural death.

-ㄹㅇㅋ.

I don’t really care if I get criticized, but it’s still better that public opinion takes this side and things become a little quieter.

First, the story got a little better and soon a week passed, and it was time to go to Japan. On the weekend, I will take a break from work and from making bad comments, so just relax and go as if you were traveling.

“I’ll go and buy tuna!!!! It’s expensive!!!!”

“Well, on Sunday dinner we can eat different parts of delicious tuna.”

“One isn’t enough, so buy at least 10 if you can.”

“But wouldn’t it be a bit lacking?”

“Because we have Lulu and Eden, we eat tuna by the tuna. Normally, other families wouldn’t be able to eat all the tuna even if they only buy one.”

“I’ll give you my card first, so go and buy plenty.”

Anyway, I had to go to Japan to buy tuna, so I didn’t want to spend a penny or two, so Sion gave me an unlimited black card. As expected, my wife is big.

The departure was around evening when I was finishing up the store. If you prepare everything and leave and arrive, it will be past midnight in the early morning, but it is much better to go early.

Pack your bags and head to the airport. However, despite the late hour, there were reporters gathered, perhaps because they had heard of the departure schedule.

“Miss Eden!!! I would like to ask you about your plans for this visit to Japan!!!!”

“The government can see many international and trade benefits from this visit. What do you think about it?”

“Emperor!!! Are you also planning to kill the Japanese who insulted Wakamo Shrine Maiden during this visit?!”

I expected the question, but there is one that is a bit annoying.

Still, it doesn’t bother me. That’s something I did, and it’s not wrong to ask about it. It’s just something that makes me feel a bit bad, and more than anything, even if I don’t do it this weekend, I plan to do it later.

Well, I figured it out by frowning slightly and noticing them, but anyway, I passed by those reporters and boarded the private plane. The now-familiar private plane ride will only last about an hour, but in-flight meals will also be provided.

“Eating in the sky is something else!!!!”

“Eden is good if you are satisfied.”

On the contrary, due to the difference in air pressure, the water in ramen won’t boil as much, so if you don’t cook it well, it will be undercooked… But it doesn’t matter.

I had a drink instead of eating. If you have a drink while looking at the view outside above the clouds, it is fun to see and the drink is delicious.

“Dad, if you make it yourself, you won’t find a lover with the person in front of you.”

“Then you should fucking drink it.”

“If I make my daughter’s mossol, she won’t be able to use it!!!!!”

“Our Eden will live with her dad for the rest of her life!!!!”

“Why does dad look more like a kid at times like this?!”

“Eden… All men are young regardless of their age. Just like I want to use the final vent even when I get older.”

“I want to become a Kamen Rider too.”

“Then you don’t have to use CG.”

And after a short flight, we arrived in Japan. After landing at Tokyo International Airport, we slowly wake up and head to the terminal, where we are greeted by many people and showered with flashes of light even though it is early morning.

“Miko Wakamo!!! Welcome!!!!!”

“Welcome, shaman!!!!!”

“Welcome to Japan, Wakamo Shrine!!!! How do you feel about your visit to Japan?”

“Please sign my name, miko!!!!”

It is not for nothing that the status of Wakamo shrine maidens is higher in Japan than in Korea. However, in Korea, both the name Eden and the shrine shaman Wakamo are used as titles, but in Japan, there are almost no people who call Eden, perhaps because they have almost unified it as the shrine maiden Wakamo.

In a way, it’s like Eden’s second name. I guess it’s similar to me being called an evil emperor.

It is not simply a nickname in the martial arts world or in this world, but it is also called an evil emperor in dimensional civilization. In that area, Emperor is a title for great achievements, so even though I am not even a Lord, they gave me that title.

And for some reason, the pseudonym of the evil emperor sticks with me as soon as I can forget it… Is it you again, the absolute figure of fate?!

“Welcome, Miko Wakamo. First, you must be tired, so I will take you to the hotel.”

“Yes, I’ll start the official schedule in the morning. Let’s get some rest first.”

Actually, you won’t feel tired or anything like that after taking a short flight, but it’s better to just go in early in the morning and rest because you have something to do.

On the way, we check the approximate schedule. First, it’s better to finish work quickly, so I’ll do it today, and tomorrow I’ll enjoy sightseeing and go to the tuna auction at the fish market.

“The auction opens at dawn?”

“Okay, so we’ll have to go out at dawn tomorrow.”

“It would be nice to buy tuna and go to the fish market to explore delicious restaurants!!!!”

“There are a lot of good restaurants in the market. There will be a lot of places to eat.”

After arriving at the hotel, I was packing up my bags and trying to get some rest, but I noticed a crowd of people gathering below outside the window. It’s a luxury hotel prepared by the Japanese government, and we’ve even rented it out, so there’s no one except us, and we can’t come in, but Eden gathered here just to get a look.

Since the weather is summer, you won’t catch a cold if you stay outside at night, but Eden seems to be worried about people.

“Should I go and sign an autograph?”

“Do it later. If you go now, you’ll be in trouble for a while, so you can’t get out. Do it at least an hour or two before your schedule.”

“Okay.”

People are cunning, so if you give them a favor and then do not do it, you will end up resenting them. Even if Eden signs in good faith, he cannot do everything, so in the end, those who did not receive it have no choice but to express their dissatisfaction.

So, we have no choice but to divert those complaints somewhere else or create a reason to avoid them. For example, if you tell them that they have to move according to a schedule, they won’t express their dissatisfaction openly even if they feel regretful.

Anyway, I sleep for a while during dawn, and when I wake up in the morning, I wash and then eat.

“Morning breakfast buffet!!!!!!!”

“It looks like you prepared well.”

“Oh, it’s breakfast, and there’s eel rice bowl. Are you craving something for lunch? Anyway, it looks delicious!!!!”

Since it’s Japan, I thought they’d have something like raw fish in the morning, but it turned out to be eel. Just looking at the eel rice bowl, seasoned and grilled until golden brown and served on top of rice, will whet your appetite.

When you look at the way it is grilled over an open fire, it looks like the Kansai style… But the chewy taste is better this way. The Kanto style is steamed and then grilled, so it has a soft taste.

Anyway, Eden ate most of the buffet food alone, like Jo Ja-ryong jumping into the crowd at a buffet where only two people were present. My daughter’s love for buffets still seems to be the same as she prepared a buffet meal designed to serve more than 100 guests.

Honestly, I think I ate more than usual. I also ate some, but compared to Eden, I’m a new person.

After the meal, leisurely enjoy dessert and coffee. However, Eden seemed to want to eat a lot of dessert, so he brought a whole container of matcha ice cream and ate it up. Just looking at it made my teeth ache, and my mouth felt sweet, so I drank strong black coffee.

“First, we met with the prime minister in the morning, took pictures, and talked about various things, then visited the hospital in the afternoon to treat people, and then visited Yasaka Shrine to hold an event…”

“If I want to play tomorrow, I have to finish my schedule in one day, so I’ll be busy today.”

“There’s really a lot to do. Do you think we’ll do it in the evening?”

“Anyway, Yasaka Shrine is the last event on our schedule, so we might as well hold an event there.”

“In the same room as Uncle Susanoo!!!!”

“I also have to have a drink with Mr. Susanoo for the first time in a while.”

After a busy day at work, it would be nice to have a leisurely meal and a drink in the evening to end the day nicely. How long has it been since you had a drink with Susanoo? I drank it when I came before, but it feels like it’s been a while.

But I hope it’s just my mood that makes it a noisy drinking party because of Eden.
