Chapter 2082 – [Continued World]

It was about 30 years ago that the Gate disaster occurred on this Earth. At that time, for the first time, gates occurred simultaneously in the world, and hunters using magical powers appeared.

It was at that time that the gate break occurred due to not being able to react as it was in the early stages. Because many things changed, and many people died, that time was called a cataclysm.

As we know from having previously heard the general situation from Gaia, the Gate is a buffer zone created by Gaia in an effort to prevent the Earth from being destroyed by a dimensional shock. Therefore, if it is not handled, the gate bursts and a phenomenon called gate break occurs.

But what I’m curious about is why the gate disappears when the hunter attacks it. Even with Gaia’s support, it is difficult to understand that people with special abilities who are not transcendents can close the dimensional crack.

The reason I usually tear things apart is not to repair them, but to tear them to a certain degree and restore them using natural recovery power. However, a dimensional crack that takes a long time or is impossible to repair cannot be repaired even by a transcendental person without such knowledge, power, and technology.

Of course, I have no knowledge in that area. At best, all you have to do is hold on to it, so it doesn’t tear. If you try to force it, it will tear and burst as you try to comb the dumpling, just like a dumpling skin with a lot of filling.

“Oh, honestly, I’m curious about that.”

“I think the magic itself probably has some meaning. I guess I’ll have to see it in person to find out, so I’ll have to go through the gate.”

“Do you want to talk to Hansol later?”

“The only hunter guild representative I know is the Hanul guild leader, and the head of the Hunter Association is not very good… But is it convenient to call that person something?”

“That person is younger than I.”

“Our Eden has aged a lot. He turned 30 a long time ago.”

“I want to get older quickly!!!! It’s annoying because my age is vaguely realistic!!!!”

“You’re saying things that would make people who miss their youth go by like stones.”

First, the first night on this side of Earth went by smoothly. Of course, I couldn’t rest properly because I was losing sleep and memorizing a lot of information about the important people from each country who would meet here.

And the next morning. While eating the meal provided by the hotel, we check our schedule. First, after breakfast, I have to go to the Blue House and meet and talk with the President of Korea and have lunch together. After that, I have to rest for a bit and meet a few people who have requested a meeting in the afternoon.

There is also a press conference… The schedule here is tight for a while, so I feel like I’m going to have a hard time.

“I’ll meet the president, and right after that, I’ll meet Hansol, hand over the purified water, and go for resuscitation. There’s a separate Hunter Hospital, so I thought it would be a good idea to go there first.”

“I also have to go around and meet people to collect information or adjust schedules.”

“We all have a lot to do. Anyway, let’s do our best.”

First, we headed to the Blue House to meet with the President of Korea on a common schedule. Yesterday, Eden started a fire due to the resuscitation procedure and all, so a lot of people came and blocked the car we were in.

So it took a while, but we arrived at the Blue House anyway. My impression of the Korean president whom I met for the first time… Well, it wasn’t bad.

It’s not the worst, but it’s not the best either? He is just a person with moderate ability and a lot of greed. I couldn’t say which side I was on because it just fell into the average category.

“Nice to meet you, President Choi. My name is Choi In-seok, and I am the President of the Republic of Korea.”

“Nice to meet you, President Choi In-seok. As you may already know, the president of a unified Republic of Korea is the worst. I am very happy that today is an opportunity for representatives of two different Republics of Korea to meet.”

After greeting each other, reporters were invited separately to take pictures of them shaking each other’s hands. This is something that will go down in history, one way or the other, so it is an unavoidable action for a politician to gain approval ratings or votes.

I didn’t like that kind of thing in the past, but now that I’m president, I can understand it, even though I still don’t like it. This is why people don’t know their lives.

After settling down, I introduced the other family members. He accurately introduces his daughter, Eden, as well as Korma.

“This is my daughter, Eden. And this is my wife, Kormago, who is the Prime Minister of our unified Republic of Korea and who accompanied me as an entourage.”

“I heard about your daughter, but someone had doubts after seeing several similar people acting and handling administration. But to be the prime minister and wife… Honestly, it’s surprising.”

That’s a lie. They probably heard the news separately and knew about Korma’s abilities and location.

However, although I knew that she had an outstanding appearance, it was another thing to have doubts when I saw Eden and Korma, who did not look alike. I talked about that separately as well.

“But…”

“Ah, it’s a shameful story, but my relationship with women is complicated. It’s not illegal here, so it’s legal bigamy.”

“… I think it’s not strange that the world is different, and the laws are different. But is bigamy common there?”

“That’s not true. In fact, the special law on bigamy was a bill that I pushed for out of personal greed. Instead, the fact that the purpose was for the public interest, as the motive was self-interest, is something worth noting.”

“From what you say, it seems like monogamy is the norm in Korea as well. What kind of public interest did you practice that led to such a law being passed?”

“We made electricity free. It would be a bit long to talk about it, but we contributed to the public interest of Korea as a whole by making electricity used in daily life free for all citizens, excluding companies.”

“Yes?”

Actually, I used cheat keys like the Infinity Force Core, but my effort in making it was not meaningless. If that’s the case, it’s no different from saying bullshit like ‘Why donate blood when you can replenish it anyway by leaving it alone?’

Ah, if you think about it, there is no need to donate blood here thanks to Fururong. If you think about it, this side will also need blood, so we should think about exporting Pururung blood in relation to that.

“Free electricity, how on earth is that possible?”

“I donated a special energy source that only I can do for the public good. Honestly, if it wasn’t for that level, I wouldn’t have been able to change the law and social concept of monogamy and commit bigamy.”

“The world is truly so different…”

“Actually, it was only possible because of me. By the time the special law on bigamy was implemented, I had secured the public’s trust through various previous achievements and had bought a guarantee that I would not abuse it.”

“From what I heard you say, do you have different terms of office? It seems like you’ve been president for quite a long time.”

“No. The term will be the same as yours, normally 5 years. However, due to the constitutional amendment, I am in the third term…”

“Yes? Third?”

“Honestly, I don’t want to be president. They say I have no choice but to work out of responsibility, but I just want to spend that time with my family. But why do they make a nuisance of the people by telling them to work more just because they are good at their job, and even protest against a petition for constitutional amendment?”〈 Br〉

“Huh…”

Although it has only been a short time since we spoke, President Choi In-seok looked dejected. That’s how much the story you hear from me about the other side of the Earth seems to go beyond common sense.

But thanks to that, since I was the only one talking, there was less support or annoying politics, so it was okay. We’ll talk about it later, but it’s okay because at least we could put it off for now.

Afterward, we decided to talk about the rest over lunch and go about our own schedules in the afternoon. I meet people from all over the world and Korma takes care of guests. Eden goes on a resuscitation tour.

“Then two years later in the Sabaody Islands!!!!!!”

“No, if anyone hears it, it will seem like I’ll be staying here for two years. I might not know in two weeks.”

“Maybe it will take about two months, but isn’t two weeks a bit of a tight schedule?”

“Eden, you seem to have forgotten, but Dad, there isn’t much time left in this term. During the election, I can’t work as president and participate in election activities, so I need to rest, so if you think about it, it’s better to get it over with quickly.”

“What’s the next episode?”

“I’ve already given up on that…”

“Hmm, it’s easier if you give up, Dad.”

Anyway, I meet with representatives of the various countries that have requested meetings. The first person I met was the US ambassador to Korea who came from the US.

In the case of the Gate disaster, the larger the land area, the larger the area to protect, which was disadvantageous, but the United States was still a powerful country because it handled it well in addition to its original national power. Of course, it may be a bit lower than its prowess before the gate opened, but there is no denying that it is still the strongest country.

“Thank you for your time. It is an honor to meet guests from another dimension.”

“What? Isn’t the United States an ally of Korea? The United States over there are the same, so you can treat it comfortably.”

“Ah, it looks like America is alive and well there too. Can I ask what the situation is?”

“It would be better to hear that from our diplomatic ambassadors, who will come separately later. The reason I came here in person is that I thought it would be easier for Korea and other countries like us to have a conversation, so it would be better for you, Ambassador, to talk to our American representative.”

“So, as the world is different, I am also worried that I may be rude in terms of common sense and such. Is there anything I need to be careful about?”

“I don’t think there is such a thing. Even if there is, you don’t know about it and that is something you need to understand.”

I can forgive you for doing something without knowing. Before I came out, didn’t I give Eden a chance to apologize and reflect on those damn bastards I saw? Well, there were some people who didn’t do it and had problems, but anyway.

The conversation with the US ambassador ended appropriately. There hasn’t been any friction on this side, so if our American representative comes over later, it’s just a matter of hitting on them for some time.

The next person I met was the Japanese ambassador. Over there in Japan, Eden worked as a wakamo shrine maiden and got many benefits, so they treated me and Eden with respect and didn’t cause any trouble, but here in Japan, they seemed to be slightly conscious that I was Korean.

Since I am an Earthling from another dimension, I am curious and interested, but apart from that, there is a sense of distance. Well, it’s okay as long as you don’t do anything stupid, but just in case, I started to take control right away.

“Ah, you are the Japanese ambassador. We also have a good relationship with Japan, so I feel like no one else.”

“Thank you for saying that even though it’s our first meeting. But…”

“This might be a bit of an impolite question as I don’t know much about our planet yet, but does Japan also have a radiation problem due to the Fukushima nuclear power plant?”

“… That.”

I tried to hide it, but judging from some reactions, it seems like Fukushima exploded here in Japan as well.

Thinking that he was already half-confident about this and that everything would come out with just a little research, he hesitated a bit before agreeing. Normally, I would have thought he would just backtrack, but the reason for the outburst was different, so I admitted it easier than I thought.

“Yes… Fukushima suffered damage to nuclear power plant facilities due to the previous gate break, resulting in a radioactive leak. Is that the case in Japan as well?”

“We had an earthquake and a tsunami. That’s the difference.”

In this regard, it would have been difficult to hold Japan responsible because the gate was more than just a natural disaster. Earthquakes and tsunamis are natural disasters that occur frequently in Japan, so it would not be surprising if a nuclear power plant was built without preparation for such a disaster and was criticized, but if you think of Gate Break as a dimensional quake, it is a disaster that would be significant even in dimensional civilization.

Of course, you can blame it on the fact that the gate exploded because you couldn’t attack it, but in today’s world, you can’t actively criticize it because you don’t know when it will explode in your own country. I can only say it was bad luck that the nuclear power plant exploded.

“On our side, Fukushima has been decontaminated from radioactivity and rebuilt.”

“Huh? Seriously, is there radioactive decontamination technology on Earth?”

“No. There is no radioactive decontamination technology yet. However, there are people with radioactive decontamination skills. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but I’m in the middle of a bigamous marriage, and one of my wives has that ability.”

“Oh…!!!”

“I think it would be better to talk about it again later. The ambassador will also need time to tell the story.”

He suggests merit by saying, ‘There’s no one in your family with radioactive decontamination skills, right?’ If you have a little more intelligence, you will be able to guess how strong the person with the ability to decontaminate radiation is and figure out that you should not be hostile to them.

Of course, even if you don’t do that, I would give anything to invite you if you can decontaminate the country in a situation where Fukushima is causing the fire. Thanks to this, Japan was able to finish well like this.

We met so many countries… However, there was one person who got caught in the middle while processing the schedule.

“China…!!!”

“What should I do, Your Majesty? You’ve already met a few people, so you can refuse to meet me, saying you’re tired before it’s your turn.”

“First, I’ll have to meet you. I need to check whether the Chinese hacking attempt last time and sending me the Chinese fragmented data was effective. Even if that’s not the case, telling me directly would have some effect.”

“Then we will decide to proceed like this for now.”

I’m curious how it will turn out. If you bend, it’s one chance, but if you don’t…

Will this China be able to avoid China’s doomsday?!!!
