Chapter 1940 – [Overtime]

I skipped over Ruri to an appropriate extent. If I talk about it in detail, it’ll just end up being a long story that doesn’t have anything to do with it.

I get annoyed when the principal’s speech is long, but the weather here must be summer, so it’s okay to spend a long time in the hot sun for no reason. Oh, it’s a little better because Eden showed off his special ability by lowering the temperature and sprinkling snow, but that’s all.

Anyway, after the event was over, the next event was finally the family reunion of the Earthling survivors. The list of kidnapping victims has already been handed over to Phantom, the dead have been given formal funerals, and the survivors have been collected by contacting their families.

Of course, there were only a few because there were too many to collect them all, but it was important that we at least met. How great is it to be able to reunite with family members who suddenly disappeared overnight?

“Mom!!! Mom!!!!”

“Ugh, my son!!! No, I wish he had worked so hard…”

“Aaaaah!!! Ahhhhh!!!”

Separated family reunions take place. Each person finds their family, hugs each other, and cries.

What they went through is sad and pitiful, but this is an emotional situation. If they had been mentally exhausted and physically injured, the emotion would have been sad rather than sad, so we felt rewarded for working hard to care for the victims.

“It’s a touching sight. I thought separated family reunions were a thing of the past due to changes in relations with North Korea, but I had no idea something like this would happen during my term.”

“Because things in this world don’t work out the way you think. Moreover, there will be more work to do in the future, and I think we’ll all have a hard time.”

“Personally, I would like to hear about a unified Korea. I would like to hear what differences it has from ours and what its technological and economic capabilities are like.”

“Oh, about that…”

I spoke with President Kwon, the President of South Korea on this side of the planet. Even if I know about this side, they don’t know this side, so in order to have a proper discussion, I had to share basic common sense.

It’s not just us, there are many other people trying to get involved in the conversation. In particular, representatives from the United States, China, Japan, and Russia are secretly aiming in this direction.

I decided to respond appropriately with a korma. Their interest is information about this area and the benefits that will come from it, and they will aim to collect information first. There will also be some political issues added to it, so Korma can handle it and similarly figure out their current political structure, collect information, and decide on a future direction.

If there are a lot of boatmen, the political situation is a mess because the ship has to go up the mountain, but here, thanks to Korma, all you have to do is decide what to do. I think about it every time, but I owe a lot to Korma.

I took a quick look and saw that Eden was also gathered with Ruri and Argo and talking with other people. Korma and his clones are talking to representatives of each country about political issues, but most people over there are interested in Eden, perhaps because they are captivated by her beauty.

… I feel like this is an Earth that doesn’t really know us. I know that those who cling to Eden in the other world might get screwed by me, so I draw the minimum line.

“First, I brought a few gifts as proof of the friendship between the two countries. Since this is an unexpected situation, you may be short on budget, so you can use it to receive investment or support.”

“If you say it’s a gift…”

“It is a medical technology for various incurable diseases. It is a technology that can treat diseases that many people suffer from, such as cancer, diabetes, and allergies.”

“Oh, that kind of technology? Was that kind of medical technology developed in unified Korea? Is that what your daughter said before about her ability to heal?”

“Ah, that’s different from that. Eden’s abilities are personal and medical technology is technical… You can think of it as the difference between technique and technology.”

“Even so, there seems to be a large technological gap with our district.”

“At least we can’t deny that it has improved further.”

It’s not really a boast, it’s the truth, so there’s no need to hide it or lie. Why hide a story that will become known anyway if the Earthling victims reveal the story?

The important thing is to spread the information you know in moderation and show them favors as if they are doing you a favor. In short, if you think of it as a card game, the strategy is to increase your son’s strength and reduce the opponent’s son’s strength.

“We are currently in the process of planning to build a moon base through the development of space technology. In addition to simple space development, we also have technology that allows Eden to revive the dead to a limited extent.”

“… Lord, do you mean the resurrection of a dead person?”

“Originally, to revive a dead person, you need not only physical recovery, but also spiritual… That is, technology to settle the soul in the body. Fortunately, our Eden possesses both technologies, and even now, like resuscitation insurance, if he dies, he can be revived. There are also businesses that provide services to fulfill orders.”

“Oh my god, I thought there was progress, but I never thought it would be that much…”

“Our Earth and this Earth is different. Well, personally, this Earth is okay, so I actually like it better here.”

Hey, honestly, isn’t this place much better than the eventful Earth? Since I didn’t have this ability, I felt a bit quieter.

Of course, if you ask me, it would have been more messed up to use my powers alone in a world where I didn’t have any, but at least there wouldn’t have been a better Earth to live quietly on than here. Perhaps, if Eden had found both the other Earth and this Earth and asked her to choose where to raise her, she would have chosen this Earth.

While talking about this and that, President Kwon secretly reveals his greed. It’s not about anything else, it’s about this ability.

“On our Earth, supernatural abilities were so absurd that they belonged to the occult field, but if they were such advanced abilities, I would like to learn them at any cost. Is it possible for us Earthlings to learn these abilities as well?”

“Well… It’s not impossible.”

It’s the same Earth, but one side has this ability and the other doesn’t. I think the reason for the difference is probably the difference in Gaia’s personality.

In the past, this Earth may have had this ability as well. However, there is a difference between humans developing and destroying nature, and Gaia taking the lead and stopping the use of this ability, or limiting the use of this ability from the beginning, so there may not be this ability on this Earth now.

However, you can learn it separately from that. Will is the basic thing in the world. If you have the will to learn and the conditions, you can definitely realize this ability. Even if you cannot use magic or martial arts due to depletion of mana or natural energy, spiritual abilities are related to the soul.

“Then wouldn’t it be possible to build educational facilities such as schools to educate these abilities? What do you think about that?”

“I guess I’ll have to do a separate investigation into that. It seems urgent to investigate what abilities can be used here.”

“I hope there is good news if possible.”

“That must be the meaning of the stars.”

Honestly, even if this ability is banned, I think it would be okay if I sneakily bring Keter. No, Gaia is Naval, and Kether is directly under the absolute power of nature, so you’re not going to listen to me on the topic of Gaia?

If you look at what they usually do, Keter respects Gaia, but in reality, Keter is higher than Gaia. It’s true that civil servants directly under the minister are more reckless than local district mayors.

Anyway, we talked about many things and discussed various things. Since I was planning to stay here for a while, it would be impossible to tell you everything, but I did give the outline.

And as the day wore on, the event ended, and we were treated like VIPs and were able to rest. The Korean government took great pleasure in renting out an entire luxury hotel and lending it to us.

“Ah!!! It was quite rewarding!!!!!”

“Now that I think about it, Eden talked a lot with you, Ruri, and Argo. What did you talk about?”

“Nothing else, just a little bit about the treatment of the Earth victims and the Empire people. Anyway, the Earth victims were taken care of over there, so there won’t be a big problem in returning to normal life, but the Empire people are different. They are people who treat the Earth people humanely and are high-quality people who know how to use magic. By appealing to the public, we prevented discrimination from occurring in the future.”

“I also received a somewhat noble education, but Lady Eden was different. Do you plan on passing on the presidency?”

“Hey, I don’t plan on passing this crap on to Eden.”

“The father is a president with outstanding achievements… His daughter is also a president… A shaman… Ugh!!! What a brain!!!!!”

“It’s a factor that will definitely lead to impeachment.”

“Ruri, don’t say that out loud!!!!”

I’m sure I’ve said that before!!!!!!

Still, I feel like I had a good first day. The future is important… But anyway.

As representatives of this dimension, we have prepared a few things to show our friendly intentions. First, since we have received verbal permission from President Kwon, all that remains is to disclose and inform the public as appropriate.

“Ugh, the lintel’s turn has finally arrived!!!!!”

“But strictly speaking, we don’t have this identity, so can we broadcast?”

“You can use Ruri account.”

“But you’re giving me the profits, right?”

“Where should we use the profits from here? We’ll just give it all to you, so you take care of it.”

“Yahho!!!!!!!”

“I like that a lot.”

“Money makes even Ruri dance Omangko!!!!!!!”

“Even when he’s dancing, he’s doing something strange!!!! Hey!!! That’s too harsh for kids to dance!!!!!”

I looked back at Argo with a pitiful expression for a moment. Argo, who doesn’t know what the Omanko dance is, doesn’t seem to be aware of the situation properly, but at least he seems to know that it’s not normal.

All I could do was sympathize with Argo, who just had a shocked expression on his face. So why did you get picked on by Ruri…

“But Ruri, even if you make a profit, you’re going to live on our planet anyway, so isn’t this money meaningless?”

“Uh… Dimension exchanged?”

“The exchange rate is 1,000 to 1, customer. Even if you earn 1,000 won here, it’s 1 won over there.”

“Evil businessman!!!!!!”

“Unless there is an official dimensional trade and there is an exchange rate, isn’t it up to the giver? And the thing that is exchanged is my pocket money.”

“Uuuuu!!!!”

They both play well. To be honest, currency exchange is not a civilizational thing, so the exchange rate is at the discretion of the person exchanging money.

In response, Ruri and Eden prepared a lintel. Since the equipment was already in use, it wasn’t much different, so all I had to do was create an account and create a room.

“Wow…”

“What, what’s wrong?”

“No, I saw that the number of subscribers was in the hundreds of millions, but when I saw the account with 0, it reminded me of when I first shared a room.”

“Eden, I don’t think you had a bad time.”

“As soon as I debuted, people flocked to me. I was part of a large company even before a month had passed!!!!”

“Is it breasts? Is it because of people’s breasts?!!!!!”

“Breasts have nothing to do with love. My father has many women, but my mother with small breasts is his wife.”

“… Eden, the reason your mom is faithful isn’t really because of her breasts.”

“What do you like, Dad?”

“Blonde hair, small breasts, eyepatch.”

“Mister, you told me before that if you like a girl with no eyes, you have to go to the hospital!!!!”

“You said it knowingly?”

“… Uh, I was wondering if he was a naive guy, but it turns out he was just aware that he was strange.”

“If you think about my dad’s self-loathing, he probably thinks that he is not at a self-aware level and that his real self should be locked up in a psychiatric ward.”

“It’s better there. Dad is harmless if you don’t mess with him, so if you put him in a mental ward or something, he’ll be quiet.”

“Why do you speak like someone who has been there?!”

“While I was at school, the thugs from the redevelopment company threatened and killed my mother… I was so mad, I killed those bastards too, and instead of going to jail, they sent me to a mental ward. If that was all I knew, I thought I’d be locked up quietly too. I saw that a high-ranking person in the redevelopment department was involved, so I had to go to a mental hospital instead of a juvenile detention center, so I could use the excuse of mental problems, so I escaped and replaced that bastard.”

“Wow, even if I dig through the stories about my father’s reincarnation, I come up with a lot of interesting things.”

“Even if there is just one story per episode, there are thousands of stories.”

“Wow, a drinking story machine!!!!”

If he wasn’t president, and he was still in the audience, he wouldn’t have been able to solve the stories one by one while drinking while broadcasting. Considering that people often responded well when I solved past life stories, it may have become one of the main contents.

Later, when I look at the compilation of past life story broadcasts, it will feel like reading a past diary. Well, I guess we can do that later, after the presidential term is over.

“It’s still that sound.”

“Dad can’t give up on retirement.”

“Give up. There is no light (retirement) here.”

“Sweet, we’ll see next year.”

Anyway, Eden and Ruri prepared the lintel. Create an account with Ruri’s identity and broadcast using it.

Normally, there would have been at least 10,000 viewers in the waiting room, but because it was Ruri’s account, and it was actually just starting, there was not a single person even when the broadcast was turned on. Even though the cam was running, the chat window was quiet, and Eden actually liked it because it was refreshing.

“I’m going to use the repertoire I used to broadcast before people come in.”

“What did you do?”

“Mukbang!!!!!”

“Oh!!!!”

“I’m going to rent out the hotel buffet today!!!!”

It’s not like I’m in the mood to throw away the buffet… I can really throw it away!!!!

Since we can’t do anything, let’s pray for the soul of the hotel chefs.
