Chapter 75 – [Raccoon Man Beginning]

After the award ceremony is over. Likewise, we had a little chat time. It’s just that this small talk is not in a public sense, but in a private sense.

President Drape also spoke with a relaxed face. It seems like they are talking comfortably because there are no plans after the awarding ceremony. Before the conferment ceremony, the advisory group talks about topics prearranged for the benefit of the nation, while after this, it is individual freedom.

“By the way, Raccoon Man. What are you going to do when you return?

“Oh, I decline that.”

I am a criminal in Korea. Although he was a criminal who stowed away in the United States in the first place, he became innocent when he received honorary citizenship along with a medal.

In the first place, honorary citizenship itself is also entangled in political issues… It’s like ‘this master user is wanted by the United States, so if you touch it, you’ll get lost’, so it’s not just pure intentions.

In fact, only offers of naturalization or immigration came in, and I expected to receive medals, but the fact that honorary citizenship was granted must be because of Zion’s influence. If you catch me, in addition to the master user, a genius at the level of Dr. Alien will automatically enter.

Anyway, if I return to Korea legitimately on an American plane, I will be arrested right at the airport. No matter how much the influence of the United States is, it is hard to think of how to coax them into belonging to the state after arresting them once.

“I believe in the trust of individuals and individuals, but I do not believe in the trust of organizations and society. It is its characteristic that it can disregard individual freedom at any time for the benefit of the organization.”

“It is not necessarily so. As the United States is a free country, individual freedom is guaranteed.”

“What would you do if I told you not to work as a force user instead of immigrating to the United States?”

“Hmm…”

A master user is effective because he uses his strength to defend the country. No matter how good a knife is, it is meaningless if it is just for decoration at home.

“If you go to Korea like this, you will definitely take an attitude that looks normal on the outside, like an invitation, but on the inside, you’ll behave like an arrest. Well, honestly, it’s my fault.”

“I can’t say anything about that”

“It’s natural to say that you’ve done something wrong.”

In the end, it was I who sinned. Regardless of whether or not I am a Force user, all Force users must register for social balance. Regarding taxes, evil laws are also laws, so I have to pay them, but the guide is that I’m evading taxes.

However, it is not zero in terms of human rights or equality issues. Aren’t force users just a bit strong? If you look at what Lieutenant Lee Yu-seong did last time, when a force user criminal case occurs, all force users living nearby become suspects. I didn’t do anything, but that’s about it.

Moreover, if you are not a member of the state, paying taxes is like paying taxes and being recognized as a citizen.

It would be frowned upon if the youngest among co-workers saw it.

“Just find a direct flight back to Korea. I stowed away when I came, so I have to stow away when I go.”

“Is there a way to go back to Korea without notifying me?”

“Because that’s a burden on you.”

When comparing the United States and Korea, the United States is clearly ranked, but as times have changed, its status has changed.

Oh, of course, it is absolutely not that Korea is above, it is that the United States cannot just say this or that because of the USFK or economic sanctions. It is because Mr. Lee Kyung-jin is in Korea.

There are only eight master users in the world. In case of emergency, we have to send dispatches, but there are few countries that have enough exchanges to send dispatches to the United States.

First of all, Japan is ambiguous, China is excluded, Russia is excluded, the UK…I don’t know much about the UK, Turkey is busy, and Australia is a large land mass, so it will be difficult to keep there. To be honest, about two or three including Korea.

In addition, the United States has a large land mass, which is more of a problem. If you think about taking time to move, it’s because your body isn’t enough.

However, it is said that a country with a master user has at least one joker. He also has a joker, but in the end it’s a number fight.

Of course, the card hand itself has a lot of US, so you can win if you decide, but it means you have to take a loss. The presence or absence of a master user is bound to be as important as that.

If the United States takes an openly friendly attitude towards me and ignores Korea, it may ignore the request of Mr. Lee Gyeong-jin to be dispatched in case of emergency. Or are you trying to get more benefits?

After all, that is my debt. I don’t know what to do with the debt that is created while I don’t know.

“Pure goodwill is rare in the world. Among them, the president’s goodwill is all impure.”

“I won’t deny it, but I really want to accommodate you. Raccoon Man”

“If possible, please do it the next time I see you.”

I don’t know if I’ll see you next time, though.

What do you know, the future me!

*        *    *

The work in the United States has been roughly completed. I tried to dissuade him from giving him a lift by private jet, and sneaked out to find a direct flight to Korea.

Then, sitting on the rear wing of the flying aircraft, it flew all the way to Korea. Anyway, thanks to my ability, if I create a force field, things like wind won’t be affected much.

It took as long to pass as it did to come, so it took almost a day. But fortunately, I seemed to be able to take care of Ye-jin’s first day of school.

“Are you home? Did you buy a present?”

“Oh right”

“Good bye”

“Hey! Wait! Wait! Open the door!”

Shion opened the front door, greeted him, and closed it again. No, come to think of it, I forgot to buy a present.

To be honest, it took so long that I couldn’t buy anything to eat, and at most I received a medal from the United States.

“Instead of a gift, please kiss me as deeply as you haven’t seen before”

“Oh, I can do that”

He hugged Shion who opened the door again and kissed him deeply. I hugged her so much that I wondered if it was suffocating, to the point where I was mistaken for giving her too much strength.

Just when she was in a good mood, there was Ye-jin, who was peering over the door to her living room, peeping at her by slightly sticking her face out.

“Are you done?”

“Oops. There are high school girls, so I don’t know if I made it too steamy.”

“I know everything I know.

Yejin was in much better shape than the last time I saw her. Her complexion may look a little off, but there is nothing wrong with her health.

“You haven’t seen another Wisdom since you saw the Wisdom last time, have you?”

“Yes, it’s okay. By the way, Mister. You deliberately went all the way to America because of me… Thank you very much.”

I glanced at Zion. Honestly, there are three main reasons why I went to the United States. First, to prevent the future that Ye-jin saw, second, to protect Lee Yun-yang, the daughter of Mr. Lee Kyung-jin, and lastly, to prevent Zion from losing property by preventing New York from flying away.

The third reason is the biggest among the three. It’s good and comfortable for me to leave troublesome things alone, but it’s worth it if it’s related to Zion’s loss.

We have to protect the children’s innocence… Let’s keep our mouths shut for now.

“Well, it wasn’t a big deal, but what. Oh right, there was an honorary citizenship and a medal given in the United States? Decorate the corner of your house somewhere.”

“Isn’t it a big deal if someone comes and sees it?!”

“Ah, I’m sure. Then put it in a drawer somewhere. It’s made with rare ore from meteorites. If you sell it later when you need it, it might be money.”

Shion received the medal case and examined the contents. And she held the medal, which was heavier than expected, and bit it while examining it.

“It’s not even gold, so why?”

“This is Adamantium from the Demon World.”

“Ah, that’s right. Somewhere I’ve seen it, it must have been adamantium.”

When you reincarnate, you are born in many different worlds, so you have more and more magazines. Among them, there are many unexpectedly related metals.

Among them, adamantium is one of the metals that remain in my memory. The characteristics of this adamantium are more than you might think.

It’s damn strong and damn heavy.

It’s probably stronger than titanium alloys and, as I recall, much heavier than steel. It is a metal that ignores general common sense, but if that common sense is from the beginning, it is common sense that must be changed in outer space.

Napoleon also said that there is no word impossible in his dictionary. Oh, then the dictionary is bad, I need to exchange it.

“But if it was real adamantium, it would be hard to smelt it with pure science and technology? How did you make it into a decoration?”

“It’s not pure adamantium. Well, isn’t it possible that adamantium will melt with the frictional heat of the atmosphere when a meteorite falls?

“Oh yeah?”

Shion took the medal and rolled it in his hand, then slipped the medal between his fingers while looking at the empty wall.

Hey, don’t throw that.

“It’s star-shaped, so it’s the perfect shape to throw.”

“Don’t do it, I promised Mr. President I wouldn’t do that.”

“Chet”

When I remembered that this was adamantium, I suddenly had that thought.

No, you got it cheaper than you thought!

If you do good work and get money, you won’t be in shape, so you don’t get money and only receive medals.

When you go to the origin of adamantium, one of the satellites there, the moon, is entirely made of adamantium, so its value is practically the same as that of iron. If you look at it from Earth, it’s an ore that doesn’t exist on Earth, so it’s expensive. Although not common among us, it is a metal that can be obtained if desired.

“Do you want to melt it down and make something else? If you make it with an alloy, you’ll get something to use for a mask.”

“Adamantium alloy mask? It’s heavy, so I’m going to use it somewhere? Okay, just leave it for decoration”

I put the medal back in the case and tucked it into a corner of a drawer in the house. I’ll take it out if I have something to write about later.

Looking at the time, it was almost time for Yejin to go to school. She didn’t have any accumulated fatigue anyway, so she decided to drive her to the front of the school and go to work.

“Mister, if you’re tired, you can just rest. School isn’t that far anyway, so is that necessary?”

“I know very well that girls just form cliques at school and play.

“…….Sure”

I am also from a facility. So in the old days, when I was in school, there were often kids who were a bit reluctant.

Well, those kids are better. There were rare bastards who played pad-lips even if they didn’t have a mother and father… I talked about that the other day. Iljin guys who became paraplegic or vegetative due to a car accident.

Anyway, since I didn’t wear protective gear while drinking and a minor rode a motorcycle, it was a situation that could cause an accident, so I didn’t get suspicious.

“This time, even if you don’t hear that I am a child without parents because I am, there will be rumors about me because I am not a real parent. Better”

“Sometimes you look older than you look.”

“Well, that’s right”

I haven’t told Ye-jin yet that I’m a reincarnated person. She said it because she knew Baek-ri, but Ye-jin hadn’t interacted with her for that long yet.

I came out, pulled the car in advance, and waited in front of the house, and Ye-jin came out with a school bag. Come to think of it, Yejin is riding this car for the first time.

“Wow, it’s a real Lamborghini. It’s a two-seater, so it’s a bit big for a group of people to ride, but it’s really nice, right?”

“Your mindset is similar to mine? Certainly, it is more efficient to have several people riding in a car.”

“Can you transform?”

“Even a Lamborghini. What do you want for a car? Transformers?”

Of course, it would be possible if Shion took care of it, but then even a local car center wouldn’t be able to fix it.

Yejin’s school is not far from here. She deliberately found and picked a school near her, so it’s only a 15-minute bus ride. If you have a car, you can cut 10 minutes.

Still, I have time to get out of the house and walk to the bus stop, so without me, I would have to leave 30 minutes before. I think I have to get up a little early to take Ye-jin to school every day.

When I came near the school, there were many students wearing school uniforms to school. The students wearing the same uniform as Ye-jin wore were half and half mixed, perhaps because the school was co-educational.

She went all the way into the school and was going to drop her off, but Ye-jin stopped her and decided to just stand in front of him.

“Okay, everything is here. It’s coming soon.”

“Oh, thanks for the ride, mister.”

“What, how long does it take? I’ll take you often from now on.”

I know very well how sad it is for a child who has not received her parental love. So even though she’s not enough right now, she has no choice but to give her love.

Even if I can’t be the parent’s substitute, I can do my part.

“The gaze is a bit…… I was worried about this, but there are more eyes than I thought.”

“Honestly, even if I think about it, where is the high school girl who rides a Lamborghini to school? If someone asks, she just says she has a lot of money at home.”

“Can I say that out loud?!”

“I’ll come around after school and give you my card, so take it and go shopping with the kids. Money is the best thing to please the kids.”

“Are the friends I made like that really good friends?”

“It’s your job to pick out among them. If it’s necessary, bring the kids home. I’ll look after them.”

My ability to contemplate is not absolute, but it is so accurate that I can say that it is almost. There are people who sometimes don’t fit, but that person is unique.

“Isn’t it a bit like going in and talking to the teacher?

“Will you serve a hamburger in half?”

“Will it be a hamburger for the kids who are in the middle of eating? I should shoot chicken at least. But our store is small, so we can’t fry it that much, so I’m sorry if you expect our store.”

“Oh, please! Let’s go now! It’s embarrassing!”

There was no fuss with the crowd of kids taking pictures. I smiled and waved, and Ye-jin reluctantly greeted me and entered the school.

Have a good school life.

I headed to the store hoping so.
