Episode 69
6.
Late evening when the sun sets.
Maybe it was because I had resolved my issues as soon as I arrived in Japan, but I felt very relaxed.
The Japanese governnt imdiately provided
with accommodation at a high-end hotel in Tokyo.
Instead of just one room, they gave
an entire floor to share with my colleagues.
I heard it's much easier for security operations that way?
I refused because I didn't need security, but they said, 'If you don't do this, you will be criticized by the public.' You can't just refuse a favor. So I just accepted it.
The events that took place before arriving at this hotel were also really impressive.
After arriving in Tokyo by helicopter, on the way from the heliport to the hotel, Japanese citizens were lined up and waved their national flags.
They were truly grateful to .
Anyway.
I wanted to get back to the hotel and take a break.
"Get out of here, Savage."
"You decided to be friends, didn't you?"
"I won't. Is it Leo? Fold this and throw it out of the room."
"I'll try. But I don't think it will fold well. I don't think it's ....... material."
"Fold people? How can you say such uncivilized things to your friends!"
This snarky savage is disturbing my rest.
I frowned as I looked at him.
"Who's going to look at whom?"
"Siu. I am a gentleman."
"Who called my na? And the gentlen I know don't go naked like you."
"You too live naked for 20 years. It becos more of a hassle to wear sothing."
"I'm just going to pretend I made a mistake earlier."
Regret is always late.
I let out a deep sigh, then took a bite of an apple from the basket on the table.
He spoke to Aiden in a calm tone.
"My break-up was broadcast live around the world, are you sure you're okay?"
Aiden nodded as if it were a matter of course.
"My honor was slightly wounded, but in return I made friends with you. It's not a loss."
"Do you think so in the United States?"
"I'd be more than happy if I could take you to Arica, but that's enough. Our president should be talking to your president by now."
"I don't want to talk about politics."
"That's what an ordinary is. Even if you don't want to, you can't help but get involved in politics. Politicians naturally follow with power. It's the sa in any world. You know better, don't you?"
It was the sa in Eden.
"When I first saw you, I thought your brain was made of muscle."
"Leading a great tribe is impossible by force alone."
By the way, Aiden said that he had returned from a 20-year stay in the world of Manus.
It was a dinsion of a barren environnt, a dinsion of constant struggle between tribes for survival.
Judging from the scars on Aiden's body, his otherworldly life wouldn't have been easy.
"Aren't you frustrated?"
"What?"
"You lost to ."
When I asked, Aiden looked at
strangely. He gulped down the bottle of whiskey in his hand, wiped his mouth in response.
"I lost because I was weaker than you. But why is that unfair?"
"Well, of course I borrowed the power of the gods, right?"
"Sophistry. No matter whose power you borrow from, you are ultimately strong by your own will. And the sll of blood on your body proves that you have crossed many battlefields. That's why I'm not resentful or sad that I lost to you."
Maybe he's a pretty decent guy.......
"By the way, when are we going to take a bath together? Tribal traditions must be preserved."
He must be just a madman.
"Leo. Just kick this bastard out."
"Yes, Your Holiness. I'll do my best."
"I think there's a misunderstanding, but I like won. Over there, there are twelve ....... wives."
"Kick him out!"
At my direction, Leo dragged Aiden out like he was dragging a garbage bag, and I let out a deep sigh as I watched.
The return is scheduled for two days.
It was a three-day trip, and I thought it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to lay the foundation for our denomination in Japan.
We also need to talk to the Japanese governnt about the placent of sacred stones in the affected areas, and there is a lot of work to be done.
"Hmm."
I took another bite of my apple as I looked out the window at night at Tokyo.
Where will we go tomorrow?
Now that I'm in Japan, I'd like to enjoy so hot springs...... Also, we need to get an island for Siyeon.
Knock knock.
That was then. Soone knocked on my door, and soon I heard Leo's voice on the other side of the door.
"Your Holiness. You're here."
Who would co for such a late night?
"Co in."
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Imdiately, an elderly gentleman and Mr. Liu Jinyoung cautiously entered the room.
The old gentleman who entered the room spoke to
in quite broken Korean.
"It's the first ti I've t you, Si Woo Kim Awakener. My na is Hiroto Sasaki, the pri minister of Japan."
Last ti he was the president of the Republic of Korea, and this ti he is the pri minister of Japan.
I'm sure I've beco a tycoon.
I stood up and held out my hand to him. He said with a smile.
"My na is Si Woo Kim, who leads the Ren Church. Even if you speak in Japanese, I can understand it."
"Oh, is that so? It's a truly mystical ability. Just in case, we've brought our camp troops, and it's nice to be able to talk to them in person."
"You're better at Korean than I thought."
"My mother was Korean. So I do it a little bit. And I'm learning Korean from Jinyoung-kun in my spare ti."
Liu Jinyoung said with a hint of disapproval.
"Your Excellency. It's fine when you're alone, but here's ........"
"It's private, isn't it? Isn't that so, Siu?"
"It's good to see that the pri minister seems to care a lot about Mr. Jinyoung."
Earlier, the Awakeners in the base camp didn't seem to treat Ryu as a comrade, but Pri Minister Sasaki looked very different.
There was a warmth in the way he looked at Liu Jinyoung, as if he were looking at his son.
"I don't know what's going on, but sit back and talk."
"Haha, is that so?"
Pri Minister Sasaki carefully sat down in his chair as he put down his fedora at my invitation.
If there's a cup of tea, I'll serve it to you.
It's a sha.
Sitting down, Pri Minister Sasaki looked at
with a loving smile.
"My heart is heavy because I feel like I've interrupted my break."
"It's okay. I was still looking at the night view and thinking about what I was going to do tomorrow."
Suddenly, I rember what President Suh told
last ti.
Did I ntion that most of the work done by the head of a group is done in an informal setting?
"On behalf of Japan, I would like to express my gratitude to you for defeating Yamata-no-Orochi."
Pri Minister Sasaki, who began his speech with a thank-you speech, began his speech in a low voice.
Ten minutes later.
I listened to Pri Minister Sasaki's words until the end, and then nodded.
“?????? ?????? ????.”

[A quest has occurred.] [Kyosei Expansion – Japan]
●Type: Sub – DLC
●Description: Interest in the Ren Church is spreading rapidly in Japan. If we build a temple > that can serve as a center of faith for them, the number of believers will increase even more.
●Completion Conditions
- Construct a shrine > of the Ren Order in Japan.
●Reward: Special Overseas Mission >, 10,000 Holy Points
*This quest does not require you to complete this quest.
**There is no ti limit for completing quests.
Pri Minister Sasaki's proposal was simple.
In conclusion, they wanted to build a shrine of the Ren Church in Japan.
In order to build a temple, you have to collect relics through relic points, so I couldn't give an imdiate answer.
To be honest, I never imagined that they would co up with an offer first.
It had only been a day since I arrived in Japan.
It had only been a few hours since my na had begun to circulate.
Nevertheless, Pri Minister Sasaki requested the construction of the shrine without any hesitation.
- Religion is a group of people who share a cross-border value: faith. I think the shrine of the Ren Church will bring a warm spring breeze to the strained relations between Korea and Japan. If there are people who share the sa beliefs, there will be less hatred of each other. Isn't it?
These are the words that Pri Minister Sasaki left
as he left.
Like a politician, he was also an eloquent orator. He wanted a warm wind to blow in Korea-Japan relations.
What I didn't know was that since the Rising Sun Society beca the mainstream of Japan's awakened society, relations between South Korea and Japan have deteriorated significantly.
Moreover, the incident of Mr. Liu's transfer to Japan added fuel to the fire.
There was a plot behind it, but the people still don't know the background behind it.
Relations between South Korea and Japan have been steadily deteriorating since 2010, but the situation has worsened since the opening of Dinsion.
In such a situation, it was almost absurd to create a mood of reconciliation through the Ren Church.
To put it bluntly, the Republic of Korea and Japan have a very deep rift that cannot be resolved by a single denomination.
For example, the issue of history and the issue of Dokdo.
No matter how much the popularity of our Ren Church is rapidly increasing, how can we narrow the chasm of conflict once and for all?
"I don't think you believe ."
The pri minister left first, but Mr. Liu, who ca with the pri minister, remained in my room.
The fact that Mr. Liu was left in my room was entirely the will of the Pri Minister.
Why don't you have a good conversation with the young people who will build the future together?
I looked at Liu and nodded.
"I'm not the pope of so kind of Catholic church, and I don't have enough influence to resolve conflicts between nations, right? Especially in Korea-Japan relations, is it going to be easy? You know that very well, don't you?"
"It's possible."
"Why are you sure?"
"Siu is an irregular, recognized by the United States. In other words, it is the first irregularized in Northeast Asia recognized by the United States. On the other hand, there are no irregulars in Japan. If another Yamata no Orochi-class demon appears, it will inevitably take heavy damage."
Liu's logic was a very simple logic of force.
"Even if the U.S. and Japan are allies, there is no guarantee that the U.S. will always send irregulars as it does now. Moreover, the irregulars are usually located within their own territory. Even if they do send an irregular, it is likely that the damage has accumulated as much as in this case. But......."
"I'm right next door."
"Yes."
I stood up and nodded slowly.
Of course, friends close to ho are more reliable than friends from afar.
That was sothing even an elentary school student could understand. However, there are quite a few prerequisites here.
"Soone like Wook Il-kai is the mainstream of Japan's awakened society, so can the two countries really be friends?"
"The first thing I'm going to do is clean up the ss. And on the issue of history, your Excellency will personally apologize to the Republic of Korea and the people of the Republic of Korea. There will be reparations."
"Was that so easy to decide?"
To my question, Liu Jinyoung replied with a bitter smile.
"That's what international politics is all about, isn't it? That's what being an irregular."
"The request to build a temple for the Ren Order was just lip service. I guess they just needed
to be an irregular."
"It's not just for that reason. Sharing the sa religion will definitely help bring harmony between the two countries. And...... If the Lin Cult's shrine were in Japan, there would be no way Xiu would leave it alone."
"I think that's why the latter is more important."
"I think so, but your Excellency told
to force the forr as much as possible."
Liu Jinyoung smiled hard. And I followed his smile and grinned.
"I don't think it's going to be easy to sort them out. They say they're Japan's full-legged rens."
"Don't worry."
He continued in a firm voice.
"The fact that they have been able to make it this far is only thanks to our acquiescence."
"Did you acquiesce?"
"They're rubbish, but they're also solving so of the gates. Even though it was spiraling out of control...... It's useless now, so of course we need to get rid of it."
"Tossagupin."
It is right to boil a hunting dog that has beco useless.
I looked at Liu. I'm not the kind of person who would say empty words.
Eyes united by conviction and responsibility.
As I stared at him, my personal curiosity reared my head.
"Mr. Liu."
"Yes."
"I don't really get along with them, do I? If I get rid of all the guys, will you co back to Korea? Public opinion is negative...... I think they'll understand if I explain it well."
Liu smiled faintly at my suggestion. Then he approached the window and gazed at the bright night view of Tokyo.
"For two years, I have a child who writes
a thank you note every Monday. Thank you for saving my family, and I want to be like . At first, it was hard to read, but as ti went on, it got better."
There was a big smile on his face.
And he looked at
and said,
“There are things I must protect here too. And Siwoo already exists in Korea, right? “There is no reason for
to go back and cause controversy.”
He is a solid person.
The kind of person Luna would have really liked if she had seen him.
I looked at Ryu Jinyoung quietly and asked vaguely.
“How old are you?”
“I am 31 years old in Earth years. As for the age of the world over there... … .”
“The ti difference seems to be different, so just use the age of the Earth for convenience. “ I’m 27 years old. Can I comfortably call you brother?”
“Oh, yes. Comfortable… … .”
It was then.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Soone broke down the door and ca in, imdiately shouting in a loud voice.
“Oh, a Japanese wizard was also there. “ I was impressed because I liked the look in his eyes.”
“It’s Leo. “ Why is that bastard here again?”
“I’m sorry, Your Holiness. “ Even my strength wasn’t enough.”
“… … Phew.”
“The more you drink together, the more enjoyable it is! Koreans, Japanese, aliens, Aricans! This is the lting pot of races, the true spirit of Arica. Co on, I brought plenty of whiskey. First, let's take one bottle per person. I heard from Leo's brother that the Ren Church has no abstinence doctrine or anything like that? Let’s drink a lot!”
I had a hard ti sleeping tonight too.
I really should have pretended I made a mistake earlier and sent it away.
Write it.
Please stop our Pope.
