The eting with Yumir was postponed.
I returned to the scene to assess the situation.
Of course, I wasn’t naked.
I was very much dressed, and none of the others looked at strangely.
‘If they think it’s strange, it would be socially detrintal to .’
I looked at myself reflected in the full-length mirror.
While I looked like I was wearing normal clothes, just like when I left after eating earlier, in reality, it wasn’t clothing.
It was ‘mana’.
Just as Yumir, the Solar Platina Knight, created armor with mana as a protective shield, I, too, used mana as clothing and returned to the scene.
A Goblin’s imagination beca reality.
Naly, the naked Goblin.
Now, I had stepped outside wearing clothes made of mana that can only be seen by very special people.
There was only one person in the world now who t those special criteria. While that person may be watching this, they would understand everything.
[Uh? Senior, can you look at this screen?]
[Why? Is there sothing strange?]
[This man and woman were there when they entered the restaurant, but after the accident, they’re gone.]
[What? This…this slls fishy. The man and woman disappeared at the sa ti. It doesn’t seem like they were just buried in the restaurant building. We need to investigate this.]
What if soone inadvertently rewound the CCTV later and started tracking because they realized I had disappeared?
A Goblin should not give any excuses.
Even if I pretended to worry about coming to the scene that had reached a state of peace, it was still the correct move to be on the scene.
“Ah, are you okay?!”
A restaurant staff mber spotted and smiled brightly.
“I was worried that sothing might have happened to you! The woman you ca with…?”
“She left earlier. She was quite startled.”
“Ah. So, she’s not dead then?”
“Yes. She’s perfectly alive.”
“That’s a relief….”
The staff mber struck a line through sothing that looked like a list.
I was even more relieved.
If the nas Do Ji-hwan and Yumir had not been erased from that ‘missing persons list’, Yumir and I would surely have been investigated.
‘It’s not really for my own benefit, but while I’m at it, I might as well clean up after myself properly.’
I initially ca to hide my identity, but since things turned out this way, I had no choice but to take care of Yumir as well.
“So, what happens now? As for the bill…”
“Once the situation has been sorted out and all the checks by the Taeguk Watch are complete, you will be charged.”
“Oh, please charge . I will pay for it.”
“Really? That’s a relief. You can just send it to my account.”
“Are you the owner?”
“Yes.”
Even the al cost.
“Ah, thank you. You’re willing to pay for the al even after such an accident.”
“I just did what I had to do. It was a delightful al, after all.”
I cleanly finished the money calculation so the owner wouldn’t end up with situations like ‘I can’t let this money go! I will investigate everyone, ah, these people! They were in the restaurant but disappeared outside! Are they missing?! Do I need to claim insurance?! No! I can’t afford higher insurance rates! I must find out their identities!’.
‘Yumir is quite careless.’
As a hero hopeful, who wouldn’t have a significant problem even if her identity was exposed, she didn’t return after leaving several traces that could expose her identity.
‘Or did she beco careless because of ? Is she off guard because of ?’
She could have been shocked that her identity was exposed to .
Since she seed to be a delicate woman, the fact that she was exposed to the Goblin, and the fact that her identity was revealed, might be greatly distressing to her now.
‘I should teach her next ti.’
Things like how to erase one’s existence and escape.
Or how to create an alibi that confird the existence of a person who suddenly disappeared.
Or even how to use mana to create clothes, so that others wouldn’t suspect anything.
… Of course, once all the mana was used up, one was essentially left naked, but it didn’t only last for a re 3 minutes or sothing like that.
It could be maintained for at least 2 hours.
That’s plenty of ti to get back ho.
“You must be upset since your restaurant was destroyed.”
“Well… at least I had insurance, so that’s a relief.”
The owner began to smile brightly.
“The rampaging demon… Lilith, was it? If only Lilith had appeared, the insurance money might have been less, but the Goblin also showed up.”
“What does Goblin have to do with insurance?”
“Ah, you don’t know? Damage insurance, so to speak, the insurance that you can get when villains cause damage to your property, also has tiers. Since Goblin showed up, I naturally can get the insurance based on the Goblin’s ‘S-tier’ level!”
“So, the higher the danger level of the villain that appears, the higher the amount of the insurance claim?”
“Yes! Hehe, so it’s really fortunate. I’m grateful to the Goblin.”
“I’m sorry to say this, but that won’t happen again.”
Soone’s voice was heard from behind us.
“Ah, you are…?”
“I’m Snow White. You must be the restaurant owner, ah.”
Snow White opened her eyes wide in surprise at seeing . I acted as ignorant as possible and gestured towards the crowd.
“…Ahem. I apologize.”
Fortunately, Baek Seol-hee tactfully pretended not to know .
But I couldn’t help but wonder if I was imagining the slight sense of disappointnt in her eyes.
“There won’t be any application of S-tier insurance to the restaurant just because Goblin appeared.”
“What? Why?! What does that an?!”
“Because the Goblin didn’t cause any damage to the restaurant.”
Baek Seol-hee explained the insurance criteria sowhat rigidly, and the restaurant owner pulled at his hair with a frustrated face.
“Ah…! Damn, it would’ve been better if he had at least kicked towards the building…!”
“…….”
Sotis in monts like this, humans seed so base and weak, making the situation bitter. I wondered whether this was due to this world being a world of superpowers or if people like this actually existed in reality.
“Damn, then the families of the deceased….”
“I will arrange to deliver a condolence paynt to the deceased through a fund. Please contact our foundation later.”
“Eh?”
The owner’s face brightened.
“Is that really true?”
“Yes. So if any of the bereaved ntion that a person died in the restaurant, treat them with a heavy heart. Don’t harshly say that it’s not your responsibility. They… have lost a family mber.”
“Ah, I understand. You’re indeed S-tier….”
“…….”
Baek Seol-hee nodded slightly and turned her head towards the slowly receding rubble of the building.
She was gritting her teeth.
Looking at the debris, I felt ‘anger’ emanating from Baek Seol-hee.
Perhaps that anger was towards sothing similar to what induced an ability user to transform into a demon, how the Red Scarf went on a rampage -
“Hey, is that blood? Wow, a person really died.”
“Why did the moron cause a rampage? Hehe, but we got to see a new side of the Golden Knight and the Goblin, so was it a gain?”
“A sacrifice for the greater good… Ahem. It wasn’t really a big deal. Anyway, it was a good show. Hehehe.”
I hoped so.
I hoped that it was not anger coming from a disdain for humans.
Beep beep.
I quickly pulled out my smartphone and sent a ssage.
Soon, Baek Seol-hee saw the text on her smartphone and subtly smiled.
Beep.
A reply arrived.
[Thanks for encouraging . You too, Ji-hwan! >ㅊ
