Subjective point of view (1)

A month later, the Superpower Management Bureau.

In the beginning of December, snow is pouring down the roadside, and none of the agents can afford to look out the window.

Officially, the monster invasion has ended, but the search and rescue operations for missing persons have not been completed, and the telephone line is on fire.

“You’re alive now. I put it on the death list right away, and the bereaved family would have survived the funeral!”

Agent Kim In-ki, who was originally in charge of outside work, gets annoyed at the unilateral notification.

Since the dead have returned to life, I should congratulate them, but the piles of paperwork on the desk were eating away at my sanity.

In fact, other colleagues in the office were also busy shouting.

“Then shall we just release the video? It’s your son who abandoned his comrades and ran away! But what do you keep asking me to do!”

“It’s not possible. It doesn’t matter how many times you repeat it. Heroes are not subject to pension application… Watch your words! Take it and eat it, what do you eat!”

On the other hand, those not holding receivers look into the monitor with bloodshot eyes.

There are over 7,000 video data collected after the battle.

Even though the Ministry of National Defense received one third of them, about 4,000 remained, causing overwork.

Such as filtering out videos that should not be released and disclosing individual rewards and disciplinary actions.

If the manpower and time spent are not small, there are many scenes that make people lose their love for humanity… Everyone was going half crazy.

So, it was not understandable that Agent Kim In-gi wanted to return to the department in charge of the Awakened (off-site).

Of course, this is just a personal wish.

“Senior, in the investigation room-”

“Ah, anyway, I don’t know. Notice on that side. The National Intelligence Service knows the details.”

“… senior-“

“This bastard… what did you say now Are you pretending to be expensive? Paperwork is entirely our responsibility! They do the hardest thing, damn it, damn it!”

“… … .”

He hesitated for a while at the vicious Malbon Bird.

As of November, the man who had reached his fourth year at the company tapped the shoulder of a senior agent.

It was time for the newcomer to come off.

“The manager is calling. Please come to the interrogation room.”

“Why again?”

“To be honest, it’s a bit… Can I go and see it?”

“Jeong Kwang-hoon, have you grown up a lot?”

“… It is a reference investigation.”

“What is an investigation? He must be interviewing.”

And the predictions are only partly right.

5th floor, 3rd investigation room.

A simple desk was placed beyond the glass wall, a CCTV camera was on one side of the ceiling, and a young man was sitting on a chair.

The fact that he hadn’t matured as an adult yet, such as the hairstyle that was shaved close to the sides and the complexion that couldn’t hide his nervousness, was evident.

“Let’s take it slow. The point of joining is after fleeing from Area C, and the location is an unauthorized residential area. Killed two level 5 monsters and over 200 lower level monsters. Is that correct?”

“… The sound of someone coming in-“

“Park Gun-young, focus.”

“Yes.”

Although he is not a suspect but a witness, Park Geon-young, who has been frightened, shrinks his neck at the investigator’s point.

When an overbearing attitude was added to an unfamiliar place, he had no choice but to become timid.

“But why did Mr. Park Geon-yeong stay? I heard that the majority of first and second year students ran away. Were you close with Lee Yong-soo from the beginning?”

“… no. Oh, of course we know each other by face. I also took lectures at training academies.”

“We know that too. It’s an odd decision, though. You didn’t observe the battle in Area B, what did you trust and risk your life for? Looking at his personal information, he also had a son. 20 months?”

“21 months.”

“So, a nobleman with young children wouldn’t have made the decision easily. Or are you more adventurous than you look? Enough to take a risk and throw the dice of reversing your life?”

For a while, there was silence over the rude tone.

The baby’s father’s answer comes back.

“… Getting back safely was a priority. That’s why I chose it.”

“Are primes safer?”

“Yes. We practiced together and experienced Yongsu’s ability… On the way to the village, I watched my classmates split up. Just because there are a lot of numbers doesn’t mean it’s good. And the stories of seniors-”

In the middle of the reason for the choice one after another.

Agent Kim In-gi watches the situation from beyond the glass wall, and suddenly spews out a voice of shame.

It’s because I put off what I was doing at best, and the guy called the team leader gave me another job.

“Why should I be in charge of media management?”

“It’s more about managing people than media management. I heard you were dispatched when the subject awakened.”

“… I’m going to go crazy and run wild. You make that bastard, who is a reference person, do that, why are you messing around with me?”

Naturally, the veteran agent’s words become sharper.

Because it was a virtual towel-turner.

Just as Park Geon-young was called out because he had no support, he himself accepted a difficult mission because he was a civil servant.

“I can’t help it either. Because the domestic situation is not serious these days. The government says they want to export as much as possible. A hero who protected an illegal settlement with no connection… … . At least people in 3 regions will like it. Even though subjugating a level 3 monster is the key, isn’t the picture pretty?”

“Is this the director’s order?”

“right. He said he didn’t want to be associated with the HT group. I will do it anyway.”

“… Let him go first.”

“I’m being investigated well, but why? You don’t have to-“

“You didn’t even request to summon Team Manuvia or something, did you? I don’t even know what kind of relationship the subject of management and the reference person have.”

“… … .”

A sigh escapes from the corner of his mouth at the optimism contained in the silence.

The Management Bureau for Persons with Extraordinary Ability lacked flexibility due to its bulky size.

“Did you get all the required documents?”

“There is nothing else to miss. I got it in the first place.”

“I’m glad I did. Let’s stop the reference research here. There doesn’t seem to be any evidence to come out beyond this, and if we call in additional witnesses, nothing good will come of it.”

“… … .”

“… Why don’t you answer me?”

Soon, the team leader locks the snout and points out the door with his chin.

And immediately, Agent Kim In-gi spurned out and walked into [Investigation Room 1] located on the other side of the hallway.

As expected, Seolha Im was sitting at the head of the desk beyond the glass wall.

“I have notified you of the video and recording up to this point. now here… Could you sign the statement agreement? You can write it with your name at the bottom.”

“I can not.”

“Yes?”

“My mom told me not to sign autographs.”

“… hahahaha, then I can’t proceed.”

“… Please tell me right away.”

“… … .”

Somehow, contrary to expectations, it is a bold feeling.

* * *

It’s been a month and two days since we all returned to the inside of the barrier.

There is not much to say about what has happened so far.

Nationally, the president’s impeachment bill was rejected, and socially, the reduction of European fishery tariffs triggered protests.

All kinds of religious groups came out on the streets and carried pantheons, and American imported goods came in through the port, barely breathing.

For every three bad things that happen, about one good news arrives.

I haven’t seen it myself, but according to Secret Clearance Level 3 data, I did.

One personally… Nothing has changed.

Whether it’s the chairman or the president, they were so busy that they couldn’t even see each other.

After a few lines of the news article, I could feel the eyes of the adopted son, but the employees still ignored it.

The training academy is the same.

Didn’t the aspiring heroes also get involved in the catastrophe of the collapse of the front line?

In response, all regular subjects were replaced with psychology-related classes, and it was a repetition of life that was idle throughout the month.

If there is only a small problem, it is that ‘cultural art experience’ was included in the psychotherapy process.

yes.

Wednesday, December 6, 2028.

On Culture Day, I was brought to the cinema.

The refusal was rejected.

“… I’m going to the cinema for the first time.”

“What did you do until you were 20? Oh right, I said I had a baby. sorry.”

“I didn’t give birth. My wife gave birth to me.”

In front of the ticketing booth.

Park Gun-yeong and Manuvia 3 (meaning Da-yoon Kim’s subordinate 3) exchange jokes while laughing.

Classmates were crowded around them, but since when did they become so close, they stuck to each other and didn’t fall apart.

<I memorized C-9 well, but I really can’t remember their names. Just say Unit 3, why.>

In the meantime, Dayoon Kim and Unit 2 were waiting for popcorn in front of the counter, and Units 4-6 went to the bathroom side by side and there was no news.

In other words, there were only two men and Lim Seol-ha next to me.

<… You’re such a great guy.>

The former seems to be busy cursing the Bureau for the reference investigation, so I follow the girl’s gaze and look up at the large monitor.

The title of the movie is [Those who do not return].

The price tag says 40,000 won.

“The title sounds like a beggar.”

To show children suffering from battlefield aftereffects something like that.

As I casually muttered something to myself, laughter soon followed.

“It is not a war movie. It’s about sailors. It’s a touching true story.”

“… … .”

Even in the middle of the audience, I can’t hide the embarrassing thing, so I’m trying to turn my head.

Just in time, someone spoke up.

is a common person

“Is that a real parrot?”

“… … .”

“Perhaps-“

Fortunately, units 4 to 6, who ran out of trouble, escaped an embarrassing situation.

Show time is near.

some time after that.

As soon as I entered the theater, I was convinced of the high price.

Rather than a soft seat or a huge screen, the existence of a heater that pushes warm air into a lump was greater.

If you add fried corn to this, it’s the pinnacle of luxury, and I stare at the subtitles floating in the center of the screen while wiggling my snout.

[Daehan News]

Hmm.

I won’t deny that a movie theater is an unfamiliar place, but just looking at the title, I could guess that it was a government promotional video.

In fact, most of them, except for some public service announcements, were news about wall repairs, grain imports, and the normalization of the stock market-

Intermittent military songs and narration by voice actors were added.

… It wasn’t fun.

[The following is a touching story from the Department of Defense Information Service. It is said that there is romance even on the battlefield, but that bud bloomed from the fierce battle scene.]

Then, all of a sudden, the screen changes and my eyes are focused.

land, land, land.

It was a scene of soldiers standing on the defensive line pouring machine guns and cannonballs, but it was all animated and made people laugh.

Acher jumps like a puppy to dodge bullets, and Spina puts buds on thorny vines.

It’s full of cartoonish expressions, so it makes me laugh out loud again.

The moment the soldier who failed to block the attack cringed, something came down from the sky.

With his left hand, he grabbed the feet of a red macaw, and in his right hand, he had a gauntlet and a sparkling jewel, and the HT Group logo was engraved on his chest.

“It is you!”

Yeah.
