Chapter 21 – [What Is Life, Just Live as You Live]

Like a superhero, a man wearing a raccoon mask swung a 3-meter-long tuna and blew off the enemy’s head.

Find the part of this sentence that does not make sense (5 points).

Please fill in the blanks with the correct answer. Because everything is true

“Uh, over there, that’s Raccoon Man, right?”

“Why is the reporter lady here? Filming?”

“Ah yes……..”

“It’s a strange coincidence”

The enemy species of lizards and humans began to gather from all sides as if they had grasped the death of their own people. Everyone else is running away right now, and there are very few people who are at least close to them except for those who are in their seats. In addition, hostility increased due to the death of a fellow countryman, and the priority to kill has changed.

“But why tuna?! Why fight with tuna?!”

“I came and picked it up”

“Because it’s Busan, it’s weird to act like a Busan cool guy?!”

Fresh tuna, not frozen. That’s bullshit too. A giant tuna measuring 3 meters. Even now, ‘Mmm? What the hell?’

The battle ensued without the sound of announcing the start. In order to kill the human in front of him, he raised his claws and teeth and rushed at him with a cry that sounded like scratching an iron plate.

Whoa!!!

The heavy tuna was swung along with the wind pressure. Because the thin part of the tip of the tail of the tuna was held, it was sufficient as a handle, and due to the centrifugal force when swinging, the straightened tuna became a heavy blunt weapon and cut down two enemy species at the same time.

Seeing this, reporter Jin Seo-hee put on a dazed expression for a moment, then hurriedly tapped Jeong-soo on the shoulder.

“What, what are you doing?! Take it quickly! Take it!”

“It’s a scoop, but it’s a scoop in many ways, sister!”

A man wearing a raccoon mask wielding a 3-meter-long tuna weighing nearly 2 tons and defeating enemy species. Everywhere you look, there are plenty of places to get a scoop.

The tuna strengthened with the ability boasted that its strength was stronger than that of steel of the same weight. He was advancing endlessly, shredding and smashing enemy species that ignored the physical impact, or almost negligently.

Standing alone like Jangpanpa’s equipment and blocking a large army, he was creating an action that would only be seen in a blockbuster movie. In particular, large and beautiful weapons have been one of men’s romances since ancient times.

Even if that’s tuna, secondly.

“Since ancient times, frozen tuna has been a symbol of deceased people.”

“In the first place, that’s not frozen, it’s a living thing. But where is that?”

“In the game”

“Reality seems more like a fantasy than a game, would you believe it if it was aired?”

“We’re not the only ones taking pictures, so what?”

If the situation is too unrealistic, you will be calm. The two cracked a joke and started filming him fighting.

“What, what?”

“Tuna? Why tuna…”

While people were running away, some people came to their senses when they saw Raccoon Man advancing vigorously, defeating enemy species one after another. They took out their cell phones and were filming the scene.

I’ve only seen Force users fighting on TV, but it’s a distant world for them. If a scene like that unfolds in front of your eyes, it’s only natural to film it.

Eventually, all of the small enemy species were destroyed in one place or the other died. All that remains is one large enemy species that has not yet been inundated with the force.

The size is smaller than that of the wolf-type aptitude species that appeared in Japan, but the outer shell was made of a much harder material. Even if the influx of the force ends and force users become better to deal with, if the basic specs don’t support it, you won’t be able to make a single scratch on the outer skin.

“There’s only one of you left. You have a different direction than the one I saw in Japan. He seems to have high combat power, but he’s weak. You seem to be fine even with a whip for three days and nights.”

Of course, I’m not saying that I’m really going to lose three days and nights.

“Croak!”

Suddenly, something spewed out of his mouth. An unpleasant mix of dark blue and green ooze spewed at him.

It was a momentary surprise, but the worst was to evade the juice by slightly twisting the body and retreating. The ooze that fell to the floor melted the sand of the sandy beach and began to boil menacingly.

“Acidic liquid? Hey, isn’t saliva acidic a characteristic of aliens? Oh, was that blood?”

Worst swung tuna. The tuna, with added centrifugal force and weight, had an enormous physical impact and slammed the jaw of the large enemy species from bottom to top.

Kwaaaaang!!!

The one who could survive without damage even if hit directly by a missile with an impact sound broke his neck at the blow and spun twice in the air.

“Uh………”

“Uh…?”

Even at a glance, the sight of a gigantic creature weighing dozens of tons spinning in the air was extremely unrealistic. It was only for a few seconds, but to people it looked like it was spinning in midair for several minutes.

Soon the huge body fell onto the sandy beach. A thick layer of fine sand rose up and vibrations rang through the ground. The large enemy species, unable to get up and struggling on its back, spat out a bloody purple liquid from its mouth.

“Welcome to Korea.

The worst man who climbed on top of the boat who couldn’t come to his senses said while lifting the tuna.

“Dooyun no Gangnam style? Douyun no kimchi?”

“Gwaaaaa!!!”

“You say you don’t know?

He caught the tuna with both hands. It was like a warrior wielding a huge two-handed sword. Of course, the weapon is tuna.

The target is his head. The monster, who didn’t know whether to run away or kill a human in a situation where he was overwhelmed, missed the last moment to do something.

Bang!!

A blow from the tuna struck the guy in the right eye. At the same time, its eyes burst open, expelling his bodily fluids.

Bang!!!

The next blow struck the man in the jaw. The jaw, which had a grip capable of chewing through steel, was ripped off and blown away.

Kwaaang!!!!

A third hit hit him in the neck. His spine was crushed in one breath, shattering his bones.

Aaaaang!!!!!

The final blow went right through to the top of his head. It cracked open his skull and turned the brain inside him into mush.

That was the end of the large enemy species that terrorized Haeundae Beach. The body, which had lost its head, sagged due to loss of strength. It was killed relatively cleanly, but the messed up head spewed out the juices from all the holes.

Whoo!

After shaking off the tuna once, the worst thing that was thrown over his shoulder came down from his body.

Although the hero was returning, he was astonished at the sight of tuna on his shoulder. The people who were watching what was going on belatedly were shocked to learn that the weapon he was using was tuna.

The worst thing was that he didn’t run away right away from the spot and approached reporter Jin Seo-hee, who was filming with a camera.

“Reporter lady. Do you have any?”

“Uh, which one?”

What does that mean? Tobacco? Alcohol? Or something else?

It is a large enemy species that can only be killed by dozens of Force users and an army, but is there anything a man who killed it single-handedly with tuna could ask a reporter who doesn’t care about it?

“Something like soy sauce and wasabi or vinegar”

“…….Yes?”

She felt that the ideals that had not yet returned were now receding as far as the Andromeda Galaxy.

*        *    *

In the middle of the sandy beach of Haeundae Beach, a tuna dismantling show was taking place out of nowhere.

“Go to a good place, Dongwon.”

“Uh… Is Dongwon, by any chance, the name of tuna?”

“I came all the way here from Japan, but I rode it. It was a short time, but I was friendly and gave it a name.”

If Dongwon is the name of tuna, it sounds like it should be canned.

Worst of all, he was quickly dismantling the tuna with a knife left by the person who had run away. Cutting his head, applying bones, and cutting his flesh part by part takes time even for a skilled person, but he did it effortlessly.

Even a single head weighs several tens of kilograms, and it is lightly lifted and moved with one hand, and it is delicately peeled off without missing a single piece of flesh attached to the bone. It took less than 10 minutes for a tuna weighing nearly two tons to be completely dismantled and the flesh separated from the bones.

“Hey, hey! May I ask for an interview, Mr. Raccoon Man?”

“It can be done in a little while.”

“Ah, yes. Then first… I’d like to say thank you for preventing a major disaster from happening. Did Raccoon Man come here for the summer too? Considering the distance from Seoul to here, I think it’s a coincidence. It’s hard to do”

“It’s not a summer vacation, but I went to Japan for a while, didn’t I?”

“……Japan?”

“Yes, I went to Japan and swam to Haeundae. It was a bit far, but it took about a day.”

“You came all the way here by swimming in Japan?”

“Maybe there will be some news from Japan by tomorrow?”

He piled the tuna separated by part in one place, and he stretched out his hand and used his ability lightly.

The ability he can use called ‘interference’ may not be as deep, but its range is wider than anyone else’s. Even if it’s the power of a system that has nothing to do with it, it can be used if it’s just scratching the surface.

In an instant, the surroundings cooled down as if the temperature had dropped. At the same time, the cut tuna was frozen and properly frozen.

“Ah! Mr. Raccoon Man, is this an ability that uses force attributes? Freezing? Temperature control? Freezing? May I ask what the attributes are?”

“Is it ‘interference’?”

“If it’s interference, isn’t it a force attribute that can be used universally?”

There are as many Force characteristics as there are inclinations of each Force user. There are unique characteristics that only you can handle, and there are general-purpose characteristics that many people can handle.

To take an example of a general-purpose characteristic, first of all, ‘enhancement’. It is thanks to this characteristic that Force users show stronger physical abilities than ordinary people by strengthening their bodies. There is also a way to strengthen the body by purely operating Gaia Force, but strengthening the body using the characteristics of reinforcement is one step more effective than that.

The same goes for the interference the worst said. Since it is possible to grow in any direction, it is so universal that there is a separate training course for newly awakened Force users to learn basically.

“My ability……No, I have two characteristics. One of them is just ‘interference’.

“What about the other one?”

“It’s like a passive skill, so it’s an attribute that isn’t revealed. Shall we keep this a secret?”

“How did you just do that? Can you use the ability to lower the temperature with interference properties?”

“You just have to work hard and do your best.”

“Aren’t you willing to answer?”

“Would you like a bite of tuna sashimi?”

The principle of the worst way to freeze tuna is to lower the temperature by slightly slowing down the molecular activity. It is a technology that can be applied if you have basic physics knowledge.

There are master-class Force users who use this same tactic with similar characteristics. However, it was not possible to grasp the principle with the eyes of ordinary people who were not Force users.

The worst, after cutting and dipping a few pieces of tuna sashimi that had been taken out in advance in the sauce they brought, exclaimed at the chewy texture unique to sashimi and the greasy taste of tuna.

“Oh! I don’t like tuna sashimi that much, but this is good. I like salmon better, so I eat more salmon than tuna.”

“Ah, yes…… Then, Mr. Raccoon Man. How much do you think your skills are? Don’t you think that you are one of the best Force users, given your ability to defeat large enemy species alone?”

“That’s roughly the level of a master? Since I also defeated the level of master level players in Japan, that should be enough.”

“Yes?”

What did you say now? You said you also beat up a master level user in Japan?

Before the problem of strength, if this happens, it becomes a problem between countries. Unless it was dispatched in the first place, it was a big problem that Force users from their own country went abroad.

“…….It seems like you’ve done a lot of illegal things. Shouldn’t you turn yourself in? You’re an unregistered Force user in the first place, right?”

“What about it? I may have done bad things, but I also did good things. Saving people, killing enemy species. Excluding everything else, the number of people I saved today would be tens of thousands. Right?”

“I don’t have much to say if I say that, but I still have to distinguish what I did well and what I didn’t do well.”

“Wasn’t this an interview? Why are you being so emotional, reporter lady?”

“Oh……”

He talked at his own pace as if it wasn’t a big deal, and he reacted a little emotionally because he exploded with every word he uttered.

She calmed down a bit and held her mic back for the interview.

“Then are you willing to reveal your identity? You wear a mask and do something like a mystic hero. Even if you reveal your face, you can do a lot more. How is it?”

Standing tall, the worst hand stopped.

Reveal one’s identity I deliberately hid my face while promoting, but revealing my identity has many disadvantages.

First of all, information about him spreads and facts about his family come to light. There will be people who will approach you with both goodwill and hostility.

Jin Seo-hee realized that the atmosphere had changed. She laughed and answered in a light voice, and he responded in a quiet voice.

“I hide my face”

It’s because they know that someone is not worthy of being a hero before they become dangerous. That’s why he doesn’t stand out as a hero with his own face.

He is reincarnated

Over 100 years of human life, repeated dozens of times, he became insensitive to various things.

I was able to endure insults directed at myself.

I can see people more compassionately.

There is no meaning to one’s gender identity.

I gained a lot, but on the contrary, I lost a lot.

“Because I know I can’t be a hero”

“What does it mean?”

“Originally, my personality is very different. That’s why while I was wearing the mask, at least I tried to save it if I could and help it if I could.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be okay to take off the mask?”

“It’s about this much with a mask on. If I took off the mask and went around, wouldn’t it just be a fucking mess?”

Worst of all, I put the tuna cut into parts in a plastic bag and put it back into the bag I borrowed from the two of them. It took about 20 minutes to defeat and dismantle the enemy species.

“I think the police or the military will come soon, but I have to leave work sooner. These days, I work 52 hours, so it’s mandatory to leave work on time, right?”

“We don’t have anything like that.”

“It must be difficult for the reporters at the broadcasting station because they have a lot to do. I’ll cheer you on when you come out on TV. I’m going first because my wife is waiting for me at home.”

“Wait a minute, are you married…?!”

He got up with his bag and avoided the seat as if he would not take any more questions. And he shouted, waving his hands as he ran away.

“I left a few pieces of tuna, so we ate them together!

The two looked at the pieces of tuna he had left behind.

I don’t know how many pieces it was, but the length of my forearm and the thickness of the red oily tuna meat were welcoming. Although the bag I lent to Worst was a large one, it wasn’t big enough to fit all of the nearly two tons of tuna.

So most of the remaining tuna was left to them.

It can be grilled or eaten as it is greasy, and the image of a very chewy texture lingers in your mouth. Coincidentally, there was soy sauce and chojang next to it.

“The barrel is big”

“I know”

The two decided to think about it later and eat the tuna first.

*        *    *

To go from Busan to Seoul, the most common means of transportation that can come to mind is the subway. KTX too. It can be reached in 2 hours one way.

Originally, I was thinking of buying a ticket with the card that even the worst person had and going up to Seoul, but I couldn’t use that method.

“Ah, what kind of bastard’s EMP can even destroy cards?”

The electromagnetic waves of the large hostile species that appeared in Japan had an effect similar to EMP and destroyed electronic devices, but unlike general EMP, the aftermath also damaged the magnetic part of the card, making it unusable.

It can be reissued, but that is also not something that can be done right now. It is faster for him to run to Seoul than to get a card issued.

I had cash in my wallet, but I couldn’t exchange it, so most of the money I used in Japan was yen, and the won was a little over 10,000 won at most. If you want to go from Busan to Seoul with 10,000 won, even if you change subways, it will take several hours and several transfers.

By swimming from Japan to Busan. And I ran from Busan to Seoul.

The act of hitting with the body like a triathlon out of nowhere was pleasant on the outside, but when I became a person, a deep anger was rising in my heart.

Especially since it was like that during the honeymoon.

It’s easier to put up with your honeymoon when you think about ruining your honeymoon, suffering your body, and even losing your phone or credit card.

“When I go in, I’ll have a cold tuna sashimi, drink a beer, and sleep hugging Xion.”

Otherwise, the stress will explode and I will do something. I don’t do bad things because I have discernment, but I might go to the other side of the world to tear up the enemy species and come back to eradicate the enemy species.

There are more obstacles on land than in the sea, so it is inconvenient to run, but there was no problem with physical abilities that transcend human beings. The mountain we met in the middle was easily crossed in less than 10 minutes, and on flat ground, we ran so fast that we ran side by side with vehicles speeding on the highway and broke through.

There were people who saw him in the middle and took pictures of him, but he ignored the gaze. He decided to think that if he got caught anyway, he would get caught.

The worst, which arrived in Seoul shortly after, carefully removed the mask. The raccoon-shaped mask that covered his face went back to the headset, revealing his face.

Since it was summer, the sun was still up and shining, but it seemed that it would set soon. He slipped through the crowd of people sneaking out of work and took public transportation home.

“Welcome”

“Ah, were you there first?”

“Hey, I arrived yesterday. It’s not that far from Japan to Korea, and it can’t take more than a day to get there, right?”

“That’s right. Oh, I brought tuna.”

“Wow!”

He handed me a bag full of heavy tuna. The inside was filled with cool frozen tuna. The red flesh of her tuna welcomed her.

“I’m happy. Are you happy with tuna?”

“Of course it’s tuna”

“……Really?”

“Don’t you have a big tuna too?”

Shion’s eyes were looking between his legs. Worst laughed at that look and stroked her head.

“Let’s do this later and eat tuna first. Do you have beer at home?”

“I prepared beer, vinegar sauce, soy sauce, and everything. I also bought seaweed to eat with gimbap.”

“Oh, gimbap with plenty of tuna. Good. Oh, it’s good to cut the tuna meat into small pieces and eat it as a bowl of rice.”

“Hot rice or cold rice. Which do you prefer?”

“You have both? You’re thoroughly prepared.”

The two set the table together and prepared dinner. The main course is tuna. She prepared to eat sashimi, prepared to grill, prepared various other variations, and prepared a grand table with the intention of filling her stomach with only tuna tonight.

“I couldn’t watch the news because I didn’t have a cell phone. Any news about me?”

“It’s not yet. It’s quiet in Japan, so it hasn’t come out. I think it’s probably being talked about from the top.”

“What about the Busan side?”

“It’s probably just going to be on the news.”

She opened a can of beer while turning on the TV. She chugs and sizzles the cold beer down her throat. It feels like her thirst is quenched at once.

Then, dip the cold tuna sashimi in wasabi-infused soy sauce and take a big bite. The greasy taste fills your mouth and the chewy texture invites you to drink again.

Shion asked him while watching the news that was just starting.

“What are you going to do now?”

“Well”

To be honest, there was no such thing as a plan. Most of the things I’ve done so far have been impulsive and impulsive.

Even if you come and ask about the plan, there is no plan, and even if there is, there is no way to properly execute it due to his personality.

“First of all, Raccoon Man should keep pushing forward. I think there will be enough work to do if I go around beating enemy species when I have time.”

“When are you going to reveal your identity?”

“When I want to strike. Heroes are people who carry their name without giving in to any adversity, but you know that I’m not the type to be a hero even after being criticized. Until then, what about Raccoon Man?”

“I thought he would go out in front of the camera right now and reveal his identity as Raccoon Man, but it’s surprising.”

“Hey, there’s a man Gao. How is there such a thing as a hero who reveals his identity after appearing a couple of times?”

“I’ve never heard of a hero needing Gao. What kind of Gao is this?”

“Actually, it was the courage to come, what is it?”

The two of them laughed and giggled. Eventually, when the news started, I focused my attention on it.

As the first news, there was a story about the worst raccoon man holding tuna and defeating the enemy.
