22. Return ho

1.

The next morning, after a long, long night.

So much happened overnight.

"Breaking news. Pri Minister Hiroto Sasaki of Japan! One week later, the Japan-South Korea summit was announced. The main agenda is an apology for the past and a joint response to the disaster!"

"The Black Pope Who Saved Japan, Kim Si-woo, Corrects Japan-South Korea Relations That Were at Their Worst 」

"Japan declares war on the far-right group Rising Days. What's the aning behind it?"

"The official White House spokesman said, 'We warmly welco the Japan-South Korea summit and look forward to a positive outco.' 」

"China, 'I have nothing to say at this ti.' 」

It may have been a very long night for Pri Minister Sasaki and Japan.

The important thing is that I am at the center of that change.

In any case, if relations between the two countries improve because of , Li n will be happy as well.

This is because Lin has always been peace-loving. I'll brag about it when I get in touch with Lin later. It used to pop out of nowhere, and I'm a little sad that I can't get in touch with it very well.

Anyway. As you can see from the above article, the international situation was moving like that overnight, and I was invited to the official residence of the Pri Minister of Japan early in the morning.

Of course.

"Thank you, Aiden Howard, Japan will not forget your help."

"Haha! The U.S.-Japan alliance remains strong. Thank you for the welco, Mr. Pri Minister."

Aiden Nom, who drank 240 bottles of whiskey in 12 hours, was with him.

I'm not kidding, I really drank 240 bottles. I was at a pace where I emptied one bottle every five minutes.

Still, is it because it is a eting with the head of a country? For so reason, the guy who was wearing only wolf skin ca in a suit.

The tailor-made suit for his nearly 2-ter-tall fra gave him the impression of being more of a gangster than a gentleman.

Rumble!

Reporters eagerly capture Aiden shaking hands with Pri Minister Sasaki.

Then, Pri Minister Sasaki extended his hand to .

"It's the first ti I've seen you. This is Hiroto Sasaki."

A greeting that seems to have been heard once yesterday.

It was the first ti we had t in an "official" setting, so I smiled and held his hand.

"This is Si Woo Kim."

"Thank you again for saving Japan. Japan will never forget its friendly neighbor, the Republic of Korea, and the help of the Ren Church."

Pri Minister Sasaki deliberately showed his favor in front of reporters.

The Pri Minister's remarks triggered an even more intense flashlight.

After a brief photo op in the presence of reporters, the officials held the reporters back.

After a while, there was , Aiden, and Pri Minister Sasaki in the room. There were only three left.

Pri Minister Sasaki was the first to open his mouth.

"Did you have a good night?"

"The accommodation was very comfortable because it was very good. I think it would have been better if the barbarian next to

hadn't interrupted."

"That's a sha. I heard that there's a good hot spring, so why don't you go with ?"

"Shut up. If you don't want to get caught."

"The two heroes seem to be on good terms. It's nice to see an old man."

After all, age is sothing you can't ignore.

Pri Minister Sasaki overwheld us both with a single word, and we looked at him with blank eyes.

What's really interesting is that Pri Minister Sasaki didn't have an interpreter.

In other words, Pri Minister Sasaki is now speaking in English. It's clear that Aiden understands what he's saying.

He speaks a little Korean and speaks English well. It exudes an intellectual.

"The reason why I invited these two heroes is not a big deal. Politics is a story for politicians to talk about, and I'm here to thank these two heroes for bringing this country out of the crisis."

"Do you an to show your appreciation?"

"I have to send sothing to the people who have co to

in a crisis in another country so that I don't get insulted. Is there anything else you two want?"

In short, you've completed the quest, and I want to reward you.

Aiden was the first to answer that question.

"When a warrior helps a friend, he doesn't care about rewards. Of course, I'm a big fan of Japanese sake."

"I'm going to ask my secretary to keep a good stock of the famous sake in each region. Is that really enough?"

"There's nothing like alcohol."

Still, Aiden playfully ntions sake as if he has a little conscience.

If you're an Arican regular, it shouldn't be hard to get the finest sake.

From his point of view, it was just sincerity.

Pri Minister Sasaki nodded, then looked at .

"So do you want anything?"

I thought about it for a mont.

I don't want anything in particular, but there is one thing that Siyeon asked

to do before I moved to Japan.

"I have a little sister. I rember my sister saying that before I ca here, she wanted an island with a lot of flowers."

"An island with a lot of flowers...... Hmmm."

"Just kidding. I don't really want ........"

"We will respond within one week. I think it will take

a while to choose an island where the flowers bloom beautifully."

“…… Are you serious?"

"Of course I an it."

I didn't know it was going to be this.

Aiden, who had been listening quietly to Pri Minister Sasaki's answer, smiled and nodded.

"Japan is going to be very noisy for a while."

"Irregulars have appeared in neighboring countries. Then, of course, the ga has to change."

"Excellent choice. I'm just telling you the Pri Minister, but none of the other three Iranians that the U.S. has will be able to stand up to Siu. I guarantee you."

“…… Thanks for the advice."

"No problem."

It's a conversation that seems to have a lot of intentions.

What's the reason this guy suddenly paints my face with gold?

As I felt last ti, there may be hundreds of thousands of snakes living in Aiden.

I looked at them both with a trembling expression, and just like that, my eting with the pri minister ca to an end.

2.

After the eting with the Pri Minister, it was free ti.

Aiden tried to cling to it, but fortunately, the Aricans dragged him away. Is there still work to be done in Japan?

This freed

from the barbarians, and I enjoyed a little free ti with Leo and Kim along the way.

Thanks to the Japanese governnt's helicopter service, we went to Kusatsu Onsen, which was quite far away, and in the evening, we went to Tokyo's famous sushi restaurant, which we had heard about since we were kids.

Originally, there was no such thing as a reservation on the day, but when soone heard that I wanted to go there, they gave up their reservation (they even told

to eat whatever I wanted, and I paid 5 million won in advance).

In any case, a pretty fruitful day passed, and the day of returning ho dawned.

I started my day by escaping from the hotel manager who kept trying to give

gifts.

Cheered by the people of Tokyo, I arrived at Narita International Airport, where I had first entered Japan.

I wanted to go sightseeing for a few more days, but I was worried about Luna, who was training the chicks by herself.

"I want to rest more. Isn't that so, Leo?"

"Lord Leventon must be suffering alone."

"I'm having a hard ti with other people, but I'm best when I suck honey."

When you go back, you will have a hard ti.

We need to take care of the Holy players who have joined our cult, and we need to finish cleaning up Ground Zero.

It's full of headaches.

That's why I rested a lot yesterday without thinking about it.

Still, this dispatch to Japan was very fruitful. Yamata-no-Orochi was also dealt with, and the reputation of the Ren Cult spread far and wide in Japan.

In addition, we talked with the Japanese governnt about the sacred stone that will be used in the cleanup of Sendai City. There was nothing like a sacred stone to neutralize the Yamata-no-Orochi's Magi and Poison, and the Pri Minister was understandably interested.

As soon as I returned, I checked the amount of sacred stones that had been mined, and if there was any surplus, I decided to sell it to the Japanese.

And at a very good price. Wouldn't it be possible to secure at least tens of billions? Hopefully 100 billion......

"Your Holiness? Why did you suddenly look like that.......

"No, it's just that my situation is kind of funny. In the past, my heart sank in the million-won unit, but the unit has changed a lot."

The last ti I sold a health bracelet to Choi, I didn't really feel it.

I didn't know much about Eden because I wasn't in charge of the finances.

Anyway.

It was a ridiculous achievent for an achievent in three days.

When I go back, I'll have to find soone to manage my finances as soon as possible.

I smiled and nodded, then looked at Kim, who was sitting alone next to .

"Is that good?"

"Absolutely. Maybe we can rest a little longer. After all, you are my lifelong benefactor."

The reason why Kim liked it so much was simple.

I called Minister Yoo Seon Ho and asked him to arrange for

to return ho later, since I had entrusted it to Team Leader Kim.

Naturally, Minister Yoo Seon Ho granted my request, and Team Leader Kim returned ho three days later.

Of course, I didn't really leave it to Team Leader Kim. Say, three days of paid leave?

It was also a gift I could give to him who had a hard ti on weekends because of .

"Have a good ti. When you co back ho, you're going to lose your hair because of

again."

"It's like taking a break for the first ti in 10 months. I'll stay and go with no regrets."

Is three days of free ti really that good?

Very just mouth-to-mouth hanging. He seems to like it more than he did last ti when he said he was promoted.

Just as I was talking to Team Leader Kim, Chaea Kang approached us.

"Si Woo Kim Awakener. It's ti to board the plane."

"Will you stay here?"

"Yes, it is. It is an order to prepare for preliminary negotiations on exchanges with Japan's Lee Nyong-cheong from tomorrow before the Japan-South Korea summit."

Stiff and businesslike speech.

I looked at her and smiled quietly.

The other day, when I was drinking all night, Jinyoung asked my brother. What kind of relationship did you have with Kang Chae-ah?

Jinyoung, who was quite drunk, answered my question obediently.

- Loved a lot.

too, and Chae-ah.

The complaining of a drunken man.

Relations between South Korea and Japan deteriorated further after he moved to Japan, and it was inevitable that he would beco estranged from Kang Chae-ah, who succeeded him as the mascot of the governnt.

An ending that neither of them wanted, but at the sa ti had to understand each other.

Rembering his complaint, I wanted to make a fuss about it.

"The other day, I was drinking with Jinyoung, and he kept looking at his phone. I was waiting to see if anyone would contact . I haven't had a girlfriend since I moved to Japan...... Oh, I've been talking a lot lately. I'm sorry."

“…… Neither did I."

"Yes?"

"Thank you, Si Woo Kim Awakener."

Luckily, it didn't co back, did it?

I nodded to Chae-ah Kang, who quietly bowed her head to .

"No problem."

After a brief greeting, he turned and was about to descend the stairs.

"Salute to the Awakened Kim Si Woo!"

"Loyalty."

I don't think they're the Awakeners from the Ministry of Defense.

I waved lightly to them as they saluted .

"See you again in Korea."

It was a short trip abroad, but I made a lot of new connections and gained a lot of things.

"Leo. Let's go."

"Yes, Your Holiness."

Leo and I took a light step forward.

It was ti to return to the temple.

3.

Three hours later.

Incheon International Airport, South Korea.

I couldn't help but laugh as I watched what was happening in front of .

"Waaaaa!"

"Kim Si Woo! Si Woo Kim! Kim Si Woo!"

"Kaa!"

"Hey! Look here!"

"Folder seat is with you!"

"Oppaa Aa

"Smile!"

This place is chaotic with all kinds of mysterious madness.

I muttered quietly as I listened to the spotlights and screams pouring toward .

“…… Is it another world?"

At least it wasn't the Republic of Korea I knew.

For sure.
