Chapter 1935 – [Overtime]

Christmas is coming. Santa, who comes every year, also comes to our house… No, he now comes to the presidential residence, which has become a familiar place.

A sleigh pulled by reindeer can fly, so it is bound to be noticed, but it was not a problem as it hid itself using the stealth function before Christmas. However, since it was the President’s residence, there was a problem with the bodyguards being seen, but it was okay because he deliberately bit the bodyguards, saying he wanted to spend time with his family during Christmas.

Honestly, who would mess with my family even without bodyguards? I don’t want to lose my soul… Anyway, Santa still smiled and greeted the children.

“Hohoho!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!”

“Santa Claus~!!!”

“Welcome again this year.”

“So, how are you both doing? It’s been a year.”

“Aren’t you 30 years older than Eden to joke around in front of Santa?”

“Kaaaaarrrr!!!! Stop the facts!!!!!”

I wonder when time flies so fast… To be honest, at Eden’s level, he is capable enough to move out of the house and become independent, but he likes his family, so he continues to live at home, so it’s great that they are very understanding. I feel like a house without Eden would be quiet, so I do too.

I remember the old days when I lived quietly alone with Zion. It was good back then, but I don’t know why it was boring.

“And Eve, although today is sad, there is good news.”

“What… Oh, is that really it?”

“Yes, it is your last gift. You are now an adult.”

“Wow!!! Santa certified adult!!!!”

“It’s a good thing. It’s proof that a child grew up with a childish heart and good nature until he became an adult.”

Has Eve become an adult? Well, just looking at her age, she is a few years younger than Eden, who turns 30 the day after tomorrow. She is currently judging most crimes in Korea as an artificial intelligence judge, so it was hard to see her as a child.

However, considering that Santa’s decision to be a child or adult is more mental than physical, it is not a matter of age but rather a sign of mental maturity. Perhaps Eve also gained something by becoming an artificial intelligence judge.

“Lastly, I was thinking about what gift to give, but since I like learning and have work to do in the future, I created a document that summarizes laws and case examples of dimensional civilizations. However, it feels quite stiff for a final gift, so it takes a while, but… “

“No. On the contrary, it is good because what I do will be of great help. Material things are finite, but knowledge is immortal. Rather, it is a valuable gift.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

There are always exceptions to the laws of dimensional civilizations without [Earth’s Bookshelf] Due to the Gaia Record, so something has just been created in addition to the crystal, and it is incredibly vast. If you add not just one dimensional civilization, but numerous civilizations, their laws, and their rulings, the data will be enormous.

Even if Eve were to read the data like a computer as an artificial intelligence, it would probably take quite a while. And it’s not that you’re done just reading it once, but the more you think about the reasons and things like that, the more sweet things will come out… I received something good as food for my mind.

It will be of great help later when Eve changes Korean law. I will step down after my term ends, but Eve will continue to serve as an artificial intelligence judge.

… If you try to fire Eve without any reason just because I’m done being president, and it’s annoying, then I’ll also have the next president die indiscriminately. No, then Eve is going to rob the president and have him impeached?

“Oh, and you. I want to talk to you for a moment. Is that okay?”

“Is it because of work? I don’t think there will be any difference.”

“I think this year will be a little different. That’s why we need to talk about it.”

“Then what?”

It seems like there’s something else going on. Since my intuition doesn’t respond much, it doesn’t seem like there’s a big problem… What on earth is this?

“It’s been 20 years since I’ve been active on this planet.”

“That’s right. Eden has been coming here since she was five or six years old, so it must be around that time. No, are you going to close the business here?”

“Hehe, don’t worry, as long as there are good kids left, you won’t stop coming to a place you’ve already visited.”

“I worry every year about the Santa girl thing…”

“For that matter, it looks like the couple was having quite a bit of fun together, don’t you think?”

“Santa told me not to make sex jokes!!!! It makes the picture strange!!!! And in another way, it destroys the innocence of childhood!!!!!!”

“There are often cases where we pay attention to that. There are also children who want a younger sibling as a Christmas present.”

“What’s wrong with the children’s parents?!”

“Of course, you have to plant a seed for it to sprout, so we need your parents’ consent. We can only help you a little.”

I thought they were just handing out gifts, but are they also giving gifts like that?! She’s been a Santa girl for over 20 years, but this is my first time

… If you think about the article below, Eden’s first gift from Santa was the end of a civil war in a country in Africa. Even though she went and gave her physical gifts, she didn’t always get material gifts from Santa.

“So, do you have any strange gifts this year?”

“People’s perception has changed. Isn’t that because you did it yourself?”

“No, what did I do… Ah, there are a lot of things I did as president.”

There are many things I have done since becoming President of the Republic of Korea. But it’s been several years, and Santa has come and worked several times over the years, so why now?

As I was thinking about it, I remembered that there was one thing that bothered me. I don’t know about anything else, but it was one thing that Santa could care about.

“… Space development project?”

“Yes, isn’t space development becoming realistic thanks to space technology? I think we’ll probably be able to build a base on Mars in a few decades.”

“We haven’t even built a moon base yet. I think we’ll launch a rocket soon.”

As rockets were being built, and space transport devices were being miniaturized, and their efficiency was improved, it seemed like it would be possible to launch a rocket to the moon in a year or two at the latest. This is a problem that only needs to be solved with the infrastructure as the technology itself exists, and this is thanks to the generous support from countries that want to make a profit with the space industry.

No, even if there is no charge, if it is a guaranteed gacha, you should return it. It’s a business that doesn’t fail, but if you can’t get enough of it, the politician should be slapped.

But what does the space development project have to do with Santa?…

“As civilization develops, people leave the planet they were born and raised on and move into space. And there are children who dream even in space.”

“I think I heard that story before. Is that really it?”

“Actually, it’s a little early, but there’s nothing we can do because the kids want it, right? So we decided to start operating it this year.”

Here’s the problem. Even if humans advance into space, if there are children there, Santa will go. But would you go out into outer space on a sleigh pulled by reindeer?

No. In that case, there is a separate ride for Santa. A train that travels through space like Galaxy Express 999.

“Wow!!!! Space Polar Express!!!!”

“Do you want to ride? Then I’ll give you a ride later.”

“Santa is the best!!!!”

“No, it’s good to operate it, but there are no moon residents yet, so what are you going to do by taking it out? It’s not like going there and handing out gifts.”

“It is not a gift that is handed out on the moon, but a gift that goes to the moon itself.”

“… Ah, something like that.”

Decades ago, humans longed for space. Although there was a social atmosphere similar to the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed with each other, engaging in a space race and moon race, which resulted in humans setting foot on the moon.

But that’s it. Even though technology has advanced tremendously since then, the moon is still an unexplored land. What happens if you step on it? If you can’t develop it, you haven’t pioneered it. An untouched wasteland is not called a frontier.

In such a situation, the space development project emerged in earnest thanks to space mobility technology. It was not just a bait to change public opinion or suck money, but the possibility of realization was so high that it was a guaranteed winner.

Looking at such a social atmosphere, do you really think that there will be no children interested in space and the moon?

“Among the children on Earth this year, there are hundreds of children who wanted to go to the moon as a gift. That’s because they didn’t think I would take them to the moon. In reality, there are probably more.”

“It’s roughly confirmed that we’ll be entering space, so we just assumed that was the case and brought out the train.”

“According to the original regulations, it is still early, but I have that much authority. By the way, I will have to wait until the end of the month for this Christmas. Is that okay?”

“Every year, when I do Santa Girl, I don’t get paid for anything. But if you think about it, it’s no big deal, so I have to go.”

“Thank you for agreeing.”

It may seem like a story that destroys childhood innocence, but Santa Claus is a subcontractor under Dream Giant. I do this for the children’s dreams and innocence, but Korma is also a dream giant… If the children are full of dreams and hopes, it’s not good for Korma either.

The only thing that worries me is that I am leading not just one or two, but at least hundreds of children to the moon. Teachers who take their classes on field trips have a hard time, but taking hundreds of children who don’t even know each other and taking them all the way to the untouched moon? No matter how much you think about it, it’s probably not a joke.

“I can’t help it. Queen Elsa, Choi Eden, is coming!!!!”

“If you had the level of recognition as President Po, you would be able to take care of the kids, but it’s still a big deal since you’re just one person.”

“Then I will accompany you. Since it is half the Dream Giant’s job anyway, I have to help in some way.”

“As expected, Korma cheat key.”

“When it comes to personnel and administrative issues, Korma’s mom is really the best person.”

“Instead, the fuel is my father’s energy…”

Meeeee!!! I’ll hurry again!!! Full of contradictory feelings that are good but not good!!!!

Anyway, the Christmas train… The Polar Express bound for Earth was planned. It was a sudden incident, and it was Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas (at least it was around evening), so time was running out to prepare.

“How are you going to operate the train? It might be the size of a sled, but it would be difficult to transport children around in a vehicle as large as a train.”

“I’ve already issued train tickets to the children. When they tear up the tickets, they can go straight to where the train is.”

“Do you have permission from your parents?”

“I gave it to the child, but the child can’t tear the ticket. The parent has to tear it up. And if you’re really worried, you can accompany the child.”

“You did a good job on that part. But at least we need a place to stop the train… Since we don’t really need rails, there’s no need to stop at the station, right? We can leave it in front of Gwanghwamun Square.”

“It will be nice to see people while walking around.”

I decided to move right away. There were a lot of people in Gwanghwamun Square, so someone was needed to control the number of people, but they decided to secure the site by sending Korma. At the same time, I also set the settings.

… It’s not anything else, it’s Santa Girl. Because it is an annual event, she naturally turns into a woman and changes clothes.

“At least, wouldn’t it be better than having your dad find out that you’re a Santa girl? It’s better to have people mistake you for being father and daughter.”

“That’s true, but…”

“And Jongseong doesn’t just like his friend’s dad, he likes his friend’s half-sister, so he looks much better!!!!”

“Even if I had ten mouths, I wouldn’t have anything to say about that.”

“I also have to prepare to kill the broadcast. Today’s midnight snack is on the moon…!!!!”

Now that I think about it, time-wise, I’m going to take the kids to the moon until dawn, so what are I going to do with the kids’ food? At the very least, you’ll need something to drink or a simple snack… Ah, this isn’t the first time Santa has done this, so I guess he’ll figure it out. I have the power as Santa, so I can probably solve that problem.

Eventually, I put on my Santa suit and transformed into a full-fledged Santa girl and went out to the front of Gwanghwamun Square with Eden. There, the Kormas who had already been dispatched were creating space by controlling the people.

Although Korma is officially the Prime Minister, he can often be seen in situations where manpower is needed through self-immolation. The surrounding area was full of people, thanks to people who were familiar with him and who were curious about what he was doing. Even if you look at it normally, there are dozens or hundreds of Kormas controlling people, so it would be strange if no attention was paid to them.

With Eden and I are appearing there… Cheers can be heard from all directions.

“It’s a Santa girl!!!!”

“There is also a Wakamo shrine maiden!!!!”

“Wow, what is it? What kind of event is happening?”

“Is it a big one? Is it a big one!!!!!”

“Is this a Christmas event? But why is the space so elongated…”

And when the time was right, the dimension split on one side of the space created in front of the square. Then, with the sound of the steam locomotive’s horn, a huge object appears.

Puuuuu!!!!

It was quite a sight to see a train entering an empty space. Anyone who uses public transportation sees trains on a regular basis, but people were astonished because black and heavy steam locomotives were something that could only be seen for tourism or museums.

“Woah, train?!”

“What is that?!?!”

A steam locomotive appeared out of nowhere on Christmas Eve. Normally, I would do this to people’s curiosity, but for this day every year, as Santa’s assistant, I have a duty to give people dreams and innocence.

The position of president comes with a sense of responsibility, but it is something that cannot be done adequately just because it is done once a year. In response, I raised my voice and shouted at people with a smile.

“The express train from Earth to the moon!!! The Christmas express that will carry good children who dream of traveling to the moon!!! It has just arrived!!!!”

“”””Waaaaa!!!!””””

Today is Christmas Eve. It is a day when good children deserve to be happy.

… Bad kids? What do you know?
