Chapter 2013 – [I Was Just Trying to Raise the Birth Rate]

I separately asked for the understanding of the viewer who sent Done and called him directly through his contact information. It is a broadcast topic, but on the other hand, it is more understandable for viewers and other people to hear the detailed circumstances.

Not long after making the call, I hear a voice that sounds like a high school boy who hasn’t yet grown up. It’s a bonus that my voice is shaking a little because I understand the situation.

-Um… Hello? Are you really the president?

“Okay, you know if you’re watching the show right now, right? I saw yours and contacted you. It’s on the air right now, so if you don’t want to reveal your personal information, you don’t have to say your name or anything like that.”

-Yes…

“But you want me to install a portal on Ulleungdo?”

-Oh, about that.

I listened to the child slowly.

First, the child is a high school student in Ulleungdo. There are as many children as there are people on Ulleungdo, so there are schools, but since it is an island, there are no universities. So, when he graduates from high school, he inevitably has to come to the mainland and attend college.

-My seniors told me that if I wanted to take the CSAT in two years, I would have to go to Pohang and take it.

“It’s hard because of the distance.”

Since the CSAT test center will not be set up in Ulleungdo… It would be much cheaper to tell the children to come and take the test.

Anyway, to conclude, Ulleungdo is Korean land, but since it is an island, it is far away, which causes various inconvenient problems. Even if other people don’t know, students are having problems with their studies.

-Even if you take a boat, it may or may not float depending on the weather… So wouldn’t it be nice if you could travel to and from the inland more easily? Please think about it, President.

“Okay, I’ll think about it positively. I think Ulleungdo is not a bad choice if the next portal is scheduled to be built.”

-Thank you!!!!

As a result, the chat window caught fire. There are issues such as the construction location of the next portal, which is Ulleungdo, but since that was decided upon the request of viewers watching the broadcast, there is a fuss about installing a portal near where they live.

-If a portal is installed on Ulleungdo, will I be able to go to Ulleungdo and eat seafood in 30 minutes regardless of the weather?

-No, shit, is it really possible to decide on a portal location this easily?!

-Older brother!!!! Please install it in Busan too!!!!

-If you’re going to install it in Ulleungdo, you should install it in Pohang too!!!!!!

“You guys are talking a lot. Anyway, the portal facility is a matter of order. I plan to connect all regions of Korea one day. So, please be patient and wait.”

My plan was to reduce the gap between regions by installing portals in various regions across the country. Some won’t do it, others will do it, and I have no intention of doing so.

However, even if left alone, areas or cities that have developed to some extent will be pushed down in priority. For example, Busan… Well, if I say something like this, there will be open opposition and protests, so I won’t say it on purpose.

After finishing my date with Ana, I immediately decided to consider installing a portal on the Ulleungdo side. However, in order to install it only on Ulleungdo, we had to take some care because the island itself is closely related to the port city of Pohang.

“Rather than just installing it directly to Ulleungdo, it would be better to install it in Pohang and create a route connecting Pohang and Ulleungdo.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to do two at a time… Well, that’s good. It would be nice to go eat it when it’s in season.”

“Gwamegi!!!!!!!”

We decided to proceed slowly with that part. First, it is not too late to install it after looking at the portal facilities in Seoul and Sangju that are currently in operation and identifying areas for improvement.

Anyway, that’s how Portal became part of the Republic of Korea. At the same time, many changes occurred, and as expected, there were people moving from the metropolitan area to the countryside.

“The number of people who live near Sangju and have their jobs in Seoul has increased. It is still only the beginning, so it is not much, but it is gradually increasing.”

“We need to do some related policies and support… Manage it so that real estate speculators don’t flock in.”

“Your Highness, are you saying that there is a delivery service for goods or parcels through the portal facility?”

“It’s still too early to do that. If it’s something that can be carried by an individual, it’s okay, but it’s still not efficient enough to transport in large quantities. If it’s really urgent, you should charge a special shipping fee.”

“Oh, Dad. Look at this, among the politicians appearing in local elections, there are some who put forward hosting a portal as an election pledge.”

“What is that?”

Looking at the video Eden showed, I don’t know where it is, but I saw a middle-aged man in the middle of an election campaign shouting passionately at citizens. At the same time, he calls for hosting the portal facility, which has recently received a lot of attention, and asks people to elect him.

-Everyone!!! Please vote for me!!! If I become mayor, I will negotiate with the president to attract portal facilities!!!

In order to develop the region, it is necessary to attract a portal… But it seems like a fraudster to ask for votes by making empty promises when it is not my job to do it.

Since Eve is holding on, those who don’t want to be caught for corruption, whether members of the National Assembly or anything else, don’t even show up for elections, so most of the seats in the National Assembly are still vacant, but it seems like there are politicians like that in places other than the National Assembly. It is impossible to manage every single person like that.

“Should we set a treaty banning politicians from engaging in political activities if they fall short of their pre-election pledges?”

“Then there will be people who make simple, insignificant promises and use tricks to easily achieve them, father.”

“Human greed is endless, and we keep repeating the same mistakes… Oh, I want to retire, but I’m worried that if I step down, I’ll end up not being a big deal.”

“Dad, do you have any intention of retiring or not?”

“There is one!!!!”

I have accumulated a lot during my second term as president. So, I’m worried that if I retire, some crazy politician will steal everything I’ve done.

Just look at something like Jurassic Park. Looking at it now, there are people who say they want to personally raise dinosaurs, but there are also crazy people who say they want to hunt dinosaurs. If a conglomerate tells a corrupt politician that he wants to hunt dinosaurs, don’t you think he can’t do it?

Even if that’s not the case, there may be issues with operating rights by selling Jurassic Park stocks or something like that. Or, they could kick out Eve, who is currently working hard as an artificial intelligence judge, with an excuse that is not even the same, and do whatever they want.

… I’m still mad just thinking about it. It sucks to see how incompetent and idiotic people can easily ruin what took me years to achieve.

“Then, in preparation for the future, if you want to become a politician, you will have to strictly examine various factors such as ability, personality, and behavior.”

“But I’m afraid that if I do that, people will say I’m kicking the ladder for no reason.”

“I will try to draft it first.”

“Just make it. We’ll see if it runs later.”

Due to the portal facility, the phenomenon of young people trying to move from the provinces to Seoul has slowed down to some extent, and the extinction of local areas has also improved. I thought it would be better to wait for the construction of the portal facility and wait for it to be built rather than just go up to Seoul and buy an expensive house that is highly likely to fail.

If just one portal facility is built, housing prices will rise as well… Of course, we have to pay attention to create jobs for that to happen, but at least I feel proud that we’ve progressed things in a good direction.

“Even though it is still in its early stages, it is quite effective. I look forward to installing it in the Sun, Moon and God Kingdom in the future.”

“The land there is big, so it will be more effective than ours. Oh, by the way, when did the kids get so big? I think we need to start feeding them baby food.”

“Already? Can’t I still breastfeed more?”

“You can feed your baby until he or she is two years old, but you still need to get into the habit of eating baby food. If you make a mistake later, he may only want to breastfeed and not eat.”

“You have a lot of experience in that area…”

“Well, I’m used to parenting.”

“Dad, me?”

“Eden, since you were young, you have been eating several times more than others, including breast milk and baby food.”

“Of course it’s me!!!!!”

As the months passed, the children of Cheonma also grew up. They were excellent twins who gave their mother a hard time when they were born, but now they are eating well and growing up so well that it is hard to believe that they are less than half a year old.

Once the children were old enough, Cheonma looked at their qualifications. Of course, since they are the children of me and Cheonma, they are outstanding children just by looking at them.

“Seeing as they both have excellent muscles, I think they will succeed if they learn martial arts.”

“Leave the bee cape cleaning and such to me later. Keter will give you the elixir, so there won’t be any problems with your resistance.”

“It will be a piece of cake until you reach the peak of mastery. But beyond that…”

“It depends on what you do. If you want to become a transcendent as good as me, if not as good as you, it is ultimately a personal matter.”

Becoming a transcendent is not easy. Even if the parents are transcendental, there is no guarantee that their children will also become transcendental. So, didn’t I seriously think about giving Eden an elixir when she was young?

It remains to be seen how far these children will reach. Of course, we will provide support for you, so it will be easy to raise your level compared to others, but in the end, it is not absolute, so if you fail, you will not be able to do it, so you should not expect too much.

Since it’s a child’s job, it’s natural to have expectations, but… Sometimes, high expectations can ruin a child.

“Yes, I really do. I will never raise my child like that.”

“Oh, I stepped on a landmine!!!!!”

Come to think of it, Jihee had a hell of adolescence because of those expectations!!!! Aaaaah!!! Change of mood!!!!

Anyway, the two children will do what they want like Eden did. Parents just need to support it from behind and correct it, so it doesn’t go in the wrong direction.

Self-defense is necessary, so I will learn martial arts, but I wonder if he will become the successor of the Heavenly Demon… I would rather not engage in physical fighting in the future. If you see your children fighting over money or power, you will want to throw them all down.

First, the portal facility issue is progressing somewhat, and we will build additional ones in Pohang and Ulleungdo in the future, so we just need to take our time. Will it be possible at the end of this year or early next year?

At the same time, I decided to proceed with the schedule I had planned in advance. It’s nothing else but going on a trip with Mary.

“Assaaaaa!!!!!”

“I’ll take it easy and go for about a month. If I go to a place that fits well with the interdimensional time axis, I’ll be able to rest for a few months.”

“I have to go and do everything!!!! Oh, wait a minute, tell me in advance when you will go. Go shopping before that.”

“To buy some clothes?”

“Clothes are just clothes…”

“Oh.”

Ana, who was next to her, quietly joined in. Perhaps because of their overlapping characteristics of being blonde and with small breasts, the two have quite similar styles, and perhaps that’s why they are quite close.

“We both have similar styles, so it will be easy to pick something for him. I’ll pick something that suits his taste, so let’s go shopping together sometime.”

“Oh, really? Thank you.”

“What, people who like the same guy become friends?”

“But what’s wrong with Yerang?”

“Similar things and the same things are different.”

“That’s strange…”

It had been so long since I had been on maternity leave for Cheonma’s work that I wondered if I would have to take another leave, but I thought it would be okay. I said I would take a vacation.

This is even more so because this time, we have implemented something important called the portal project. It’s as if you’ve achieved an achievement, but what would anyone say if you said you’d take a break afterward? Even if there is, I will just ignore it and go.

“Hey, guys. I’m going on vacation again starting next month, so please understand that. Don’t give a shit about me being gone.”

– Haha, this guy is taking a break again.

-Why are you on vacation this time?

“I’ve been planning this for a long time, but I’m going with Mary. The two of us will take a leisurely trip to the dimension, so I’ll see you after the vacation.”

-Ah, is it Mary’s turn this time?

-Are you planning to have a baby again this time?

-If we had a policy to encourage birth rate, we would have to make a lot of babies.

“Children. A transcendental’s child plan is usually long-term. Making a child with Mary… May be something that comes a little later.”

-Then what is the Heavenly Demon?

“Because he is like a king, the issue of succession is important. If it weren’t for that, I would have done it just as slowly.”

-The story of the first night when you come!!!!!

“Fuck, what do you want other than a souvenir!!!!!”

-Aren’t you coming back like Fururong did last time and bringing something crazy?

-Oh, there is a king ability.

-ㄹㅇ, if it were this hyung, he might pick up something cool with the feeling of ‘I came and picked it up.’

“I don’t do that just because it’s me, so don’t expect anything. And that time, I did it to save face by going longer than expected. This time, I’ll go as long as the schedule, so there’s no problem.”

-Anyway, when you come, it’s a bitch!!!!

“I can’t give a definite answer. Don’t have high expectations.”

Just like that, I was almost ready to go on vacation. Take what you need… Oh, by the way, I haven’t decided on a specific destination for this vacation and will go there randomly. It’s like a honeymoon, so it’s okay to go to a nice place, but sometimes leaving it to luck and enduring a little inconvenience can make it a memorable experience.

Mary also agreed to this, so there was no problem. All that’s left is to go.

“It’s a bit weird for Mary to do it first, but… Well, I’m next. I’ll look forward to it too.”

“At that time, it would feel like I was going to the execution ground because I had to meet the Phantom first.”

“I’ll cover Phantom Dad for you. Instead, you cover Sienne.”

“Now that I think about it, I should have taken care of Sienne too!!!!!”

The strongest Great Demon King + the Great Demon King of domination.

In order to become a lover with Lulu, she has to deal with two great demon lords, right?!?!
