Chapter 1767 – [Everyone Has Taboos]

First, the drunk driver was detained by the police because it was an injury case. So, I headed to the local police station and went to meet him.

Although the situation is being held by public authorities, it is not a big problem in the first place. In Korea, I am an untouchable who cannot be prosecuted even if I kill someone. It’s an action that disturbs the rule of law, but honestly, it’s not my fault. If I am punished appropriately, I will follow the law, right?

Even if a drunk driver hits someone and ruins the future of a bright young man, the law in this country is wrong and only ends up serving a few years in prison. If they get upset, they should start by tearing down the law and changing it.

Oh, if high-ranking people are caught drunk driving, they should be severely punished, so why not? Awesome.

“How did you come here?”

“There must have been a kid who came in recently due to a drunk driving incident. Where is that kid?”

“That…”

As I entered the police station, the police officer I spoke to, thinking I was a civil servant, blurted out my questions. Since I’m wearing a mask, it’s obvious that I’m evil, and I also know that it’s not a good thing.

Maybe that’s why they seem to avoid trying to help me directly. If you were a police officer, you would have to answer if I asked a question, but if you were the person involved, you wouldn’t be able to answer easily because of the repercussions later. On the other hand, isn’t it the same as helping a suspect or criminal die or become an asshole?

First, I understand the feelings of the police. So, I have to find it myself.

“I get it roughly. This way, right?”

“Well, you shouldn’t go in there!!!!”

“You work hard, Mr. Police. It would be nice if other police officers worked as hard as you, but it’s a problem because there are many police officers whose salaries are like Lupine.”

Doesn’t it often appear on the news? Police officers who work casually as public servants without a sense of duty, but when they actually need to protect citizens, they say they don’t know and avoid the situation or work half-heartedly.

If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have become a police officer in the first place. Don’t you have to at least pretend to make an effort?

Anyway, I passed him and headed to the holding cell inside the police station. I think they were in the process of arresting him because he was an active criminal. I don’t know if it was luck or fate, but there was only one person in the detention center. He was a man in his early to mid-40s who was getting older, and even after he sobered up, the smell of alcohol still lingered in the air.

I broke down the detention cell door, went inside, and faced the guy. He was leaning against the wall in one corner of the detention room, but when I came, he got scared and hid further in the corner.

“Woman, are you the drunk driver who ruined the life of an otherwise fine young man?”

“Hehe!!! Whew, he’s a bad guy!!!!!”

“I can tell you smell like alcohol, so it’s you. Let’s finish this quickly. Since I’m merciful, I’ll let you choose between the two.”

“Two, you mean one of the two…?”

“Arms and legs. Which of the two is better without?”

“Yes?!”

“After all, you can drink alcohol as long as you don’t cover your mouth. I won’t kill you, but that doesn’t mean I’ll just leave you alone. If you can’t kill me and make me drink, you can make me not drive, right? So, one of your arms and both of your legs. Please choose. I will tear it for you.”

“Now, wait a minute!!!! I was wrong!!! Furthermore, I will never drink even a drop of alcohol in my mouth again!!!! Furthermore, I really swear!!!!!”

“I can trust the words of a bastard who drank and drove and hit someone. It would be better for a dog to stop pooping and an alcoholic bastard to quit drinking? That’s crazy.”

“Please just this once…!!!!”

“If you don’t choose, I’ll go with the third option. I’ll rip off both your arms and both legs. I’ll make it difficult for you to get up without help. How about that?”

“I will compensate the victim and ask for forgiveness. Please forgive me this once!!!!”

“Normally, would a severed foot grow back like Piccolo? Well, since you’re not dead, they won’t kill you. If you were dead, even if the resuscitation procedure was successful, they would have killed you. You think you’re lucky… Aren’t you going to make a decision soon? If you don’t make a decision for three counts, you’ll be fine. Pull out your arms and legs.”

“Ugh…”

“One, two…”

“Pa, the arm!!! I’ll pick the arm, keaaaaa!!!!!”

The moment I decided, I grabbed both of his arms and ripped them off. As the muscles and flesh are torn, blood gushes out like a fountain.

In addition, they kindly stop the bleeding. I use my light chlorine ability to burn the wound to stop bleeding, but for the rest, I just need to go to the hospital and get treatment.

At the same time, the arm he tore off was burned and reduced to powder. These days, medical technology is so good that it may not be possible to grow a missing leg, but it may be possible to reattach a torn arm.

“Aaaaah!!!! Aaaaah!!! My arm!!! My faaaaal!!!!!!”

“Now do you understand how it feels to be someone who lost a leg after being run over by you? From now on, every time you drink, think about why your arm is missing.”

A person who drinks enough to drink and drive will never be able to quit drinking. People like that said they would drink even after receiving liver transplants from their children because of liver problems.

Even if you say you don’t drink, in the end you will still drink it secretly. And Satan will appear again. It may not be right away, but we won’t know in about 10 years. Even if I warn you that I am going to die, time is a universal medicine and the fear will fade.

Having dealt with one truth, I also dealt with many other truths. For example, if you don’t listen to excessive services as an excuse, you don’t have to listen to one star, or it’s a dog that’s not enough to make it wrong, and the menu came out.

The truth is, there are a lot of bastards in this world… The reason why the analogy is on the customer side is that there are more customers than the business owner or delivery rider. That’s something that can’t be helped.

Jirobo-sensei also said that if there are five people, one of them has trash. But we gathered more than that. How amazing is it?

Of course, the truth was on the other side as well. For example, there is a store owner who sexually harasses a customer through a review, or a store owner who swears even though the review is okay, and on the delivery driver side, there is a guy who subtly breaks traffic laws. There was a guy who trusted me and made a habit of sneaking in.

I wonder why the last guy is like that, but if I take the side of the delivery drivers, I won’t avoid people who wear our delivery platform mark on their motorcycles because they are full-time employees. You may be benefiting implicitly.

Why are you avoiding poop because you’re afraid? Avoid it because it’s dirty. Similarly, even if a minor problem arises, it is difficult to tackle it easily if I am protecting it.

In fact, if you report it, I will fire you. It looks like it hasn’t quite settled in yet.

Anyway, thanks to you, I’m running out of time. There were quite a lot of truths in my store, but when I think about being in charge of one company and the truths that go into it… Hmm.

“There are so many teenagers in the world.”

“Still, I will be cautious or quiet for a while to see if the rumor spreads.”

“Hiding is the problem. Even if you catch 99 out of 100 cockroaches, if there is only 1 cockroach left, the number will quickly grow to 1,000.”

“But it won’t be a problem for a while.”

“Tell me if something happens.”

And in the meantime, Eden welcomed the new semester and began to enjoy the life of a third-year college student. It’s not much different, but in fact, I’m really thrilled that Eden will graduate from college just this year and next year.

Even though my sense of time is more like a human’s than a transcendental’s, it seems like only yesterday that Eden was born… It’s enough to bring me to tears that she’s already graduated from college and is looking for her own career path.

Anyway, those of us who returned to our daily lives relaxed and enjoyed a situation where there were no problems to worry about. But on the other hand, I felt a little uneasy because it felt like the scene before the incident, like the eve of a storm.

“If you say that, it’s not just a hunch.”

“But I’m not really anxious.”

“Ah, then I guess it won’t be a problem. As long as no one gets hurt or killed, there’s nothing to worry about…”

Honestly, I don’t think there’s anyone in our house who could get seriously hurt other than Eve, right? Even if Eden, who is the weakest after Eve, tries to get hurt, she must reach at least the same level as a transcendental level. Otherwise, the entire current Earth civilization would have to decide and rush in, but if that was the case in the first place, my intuition would have worked.

What on earth is going on… I hope it’s not a big deal.

And after a while, I was able to find out what was happening through Zion. What should I say? Was the reunion with Midori the worst? It feels roughly like that.

“…”

“What, why are you suddenly so frighteningly silent?”

“It’s because these fucking Disney bastards have done something again.”

“Did you release something like Blackfish Princess? No, the last time you released that one, it flopped. But now that I think about it, you probably tried to keep the PC from asking about that. Why is that?”

“Because once they fail grandly, they have a justification to do as they please from now on. They put Disney’s life and death on the Blackfish Princess… But even after it failed, they tried to do the damn thing again.”

Even in the same district, there can be various differences. First, it seems like the Blackfish Princess was released, but unlike the fact that she achieved some results, the Blackfish Princess on this Earth was completely ruined. I think I saw something on the news saying something about not being able to break even.

I wonder if there is any difference… Well? Upward standardization of aesthetic sense? This might not be the case on an ordinary Earth, but on this Earth, there are several people who could be considered dimension-level beauties. Most of them, or almost all of them, are our family.

If you look for it, there is a beauty that would make even the princess of an empire slap in the face, so why film The Little Mermaid with such visuals and expect it to be a hit? Regardless of the fact that the lead actor is black, if you’re going to write a story like The Little Mermaid, bring in a pretty black person and write it.

“What else? They’re making a live-action version of Frozen, and they’re hiring a black actor to play Elsa?”

“It sucks, but it’s Esakta (correct answer)!!!!”

“…?”

For a moment, my thinking was so stuttering that it was late for me to understand. I’ve said all that, even with the transcendental’s, it’s like that.

On the one hand, that may be my instinct as an otaku who is a bit of a fanatic even if I’m not as good as Shion… But in the end, I also heard a story that was just as shocking.

No, what the fuck now? Are you going to cast a black actor for a character with white skin and attractive platinum hair?

It’s a background that doesn’t fit the PC to begin with. Hey, is that set in an African kingdom? What the fuck…

“Don’t worry. I won’t leave it alone this time. First, I’ll change some people inside Disney and destroy everything. I can’t stand ruining a good work with shitty PC quality.”

“Is there anything that will ruin the children’s innocence? Why do these bastards not think about the children when they make money off of them? Why are they talking about their fucking ideology and beliefs? I wish they had made it well at least. They made it like shit. “

“That’s right. But it’s okay because there’s a reason why it won’t be a problem to deal with it.”

As the head of the Hanon family, there is virtually nothing on this Earth that Shion cannot do with money. Even if it’s a major conglomerate, if it gets caught by Sion, it’s over.

Previously, there was a live-action movie like The Black Fish Princess in which a black actress played Ariel, but as I just said, that was just for justification. It’s a justification to overthrow the damn PC forces inside Disney.

After all, if you’re a company, you have no choice but to fire people who don’t make money, right? It is obvious that it failed so badly.

“And I paid more than 80% of the promotional costs. And even that is separate from the production costs.”

“Oh.”

“The break-even point is about $800 million, but the profit is much less than that… So I guess I’ll take this opportunity to do a sword dance.”

“Are they going to keep quiet? They’re sure to gather people from the same PC camp and talk about oppression and all that.”

“There is no performance, isn’t there? Performance. I had no intention of making any profit, so the difference between Blackfish Princess’ profit and break-even point is roughly $200 million, so if I compensate for that, I can just say that I won’t be fired.”

“What are the other problems if you are fired for poor performance? If you are fired for that, there will still be talk.”

If you fire a new employee for making a mistake or suffering a loss, there will be no environment for new employees to learn in the first place. It was the company’s job to accept a certain amount of mistakes or losses.

Shion tells him to give money, but if he openly uses the loss as an excuse to solve the problem, words will definitely come out. In short, the justification is lacking. And that insufficient justification will end up being talked about.

“Don’t worry about that either. We have prepared separate measures for that as well, so we have secured sufficient justification.”

“How?”

“There are minutes of the meeting recorded separately in advance. I had already opposed hiring a black lead actor in advance. I opposed it, citing box office success and other reasons, but they pushed ahead with it. If I had just stood by and stopped it, I would have stopped it, but if I had committed an accident, I would have stopped it. Isn’t there any responsibility?”

“My wife, I am taking care of one cause for sure.”

“And there is a difference between a mistake and a mistake. A mistake can be forgiven, but a mistake must be held accountable.”

That being said, I don’t think there will be any problem with the processing. To be honest, as someone who grew up watching the Little Mermaid animation in the past, I have no friendly thoughts at all toward those who created things like Blackfish Princess, which destroys childhood innocence, so I have no choice but to absolutely take Zion’s side.

At best, if it’s done well, there may be room for extenuating circumstances, but if there’s nothing to see other than the song, and you’re just paying attention to the visuals and hoping for something big, it’s the same as a robbery. No, it’s not that they’re racist just because they’re black. They should pick someone who fits the role, so why pick a black person? The original had red hair, but at least he was Irish.

Oh, those bastards discriminated against Irish people even though they were white people. What on earth are we going to do?

“Oh, Frozen?”

“Huh?”

“Is my daughter interested?”

“When I was young, my nickname was Queen Elsa!!!! I think it would be fun to actually become one this time, right?”

“Huh? Huh?”

Come to think of it, Eden’s character overlapped quite a bit with hers, thanks to her appearance and beauty that made her seem like an adult since she was young, and her silver hair. Actually, she has silver hair and white blonde hair, but they are similar.

Moreover, she has been using her ice powers for a long time… It seems like she is achieving what she dreamed of as a child as an adult.

“If my daughter were to star in a movie, I would first spend about $300 million on production costs. After filming is completed, marketing costs are separate.”

“I can replace most CGs with my ice abilities, so the production cost won’t be high, right?”

“That’s what I’m saying. If you have enough, isn’t anything good? If you have any leftover, use it for food.”

“Oh!!!!!!!”

So, out of nowhere, Eden got to film a movie. As if it’s no big deal, I’m just passing by and deciding and choosing… I don’t know if this is okay.

But now that Eden is coming out, I feel like I will be watching the movie 10 times in the theater.
