The person in charge, who managed to understand, spoke his name briefly.

“Kimura. Hayato Kimura.”

“Yes, Kimura. You must have killed most of the Awoken on your way here. maybe even the common people. I wouldn’t have let the people who are hostile to you live.”

“that… .”

“It’s not what I’m saying. I would have been like that too.”

“You mean you let us live knowing that? Take responsibility for your choices… .”

“It’s not just about dying. I don’t think you’re the ones that need to be killed yet.”

Ha Yeon-woo had no intention of becoming a philanthropist, and he had no plans to pay attention to this place after this incident.

“If your movements seemed to cross the line even a little bit, you wouldn’t be able to stand still like that right now.”

For example, their purpose was not to survive, but simply to move out of greed. In the long run, it seemed like it would be bad news for Sarah Borough. Or that he did the dirty thing he hates most.

I’m sure he would have killed everyone the moment they met.

However, looking at the feelings he felt and the actions he was taking, it seemed that he had at least some mental head.

Considering the distance they traveled from where the battle took place and the time it took, it was so short that they didn’t even have time to touch it except for the Awoken.

The level of picking the ground as expected.

“We still don’t know how the mutant creature appeared. It means that since you guys are killing all the Awoken here, there is no scavenger to take care of it.”

If at least one mutant creature is accompanied by spontaneous generation and reproduction, Busan will soon become a new monster territory.

“Rather than handing it over to the monster… Do you think it’s better for us to occupy it?”

“Well, it could be something like that.”

After all, a new generation has begun. Someday, if I bring my family back to life, I will live on this land.

To do that, you have to get on track. Whether it’s human life or civilization.

Civilizations needed humans and land to survive. Right now, the more the better.

The neighborhood of Sara Borough in particular needed to be kept cleaner.

“And the Awoken you killed. They are the ones who harmed my subordinates. Not all, but what about. thank you for dying Because I was going to kill him anyway.”

“Then you went inside… .”

The reason why he suddenly appeared in Busan. When the reason why he couldn’t enter the campus was revealed, Kimura murmured.

“It was like that… .”

“Those who occupied the southern part of Busan harmed my men. So I came here with the intention of killing it. You guys have already appeared and wiped them out. A void has arisen for the Awakener. Do I have any good reason to kill you?”

“Well, do you think so… .”

Kimura scratched his head at the appearance of Ha Yeon-woo, who was not kind, but even explained.

“I don’t think so, that’s right. As before, if it is not something to talk about my nationality or ethnicity.”

Kimura’s expression perfectly fits the expression of being dumbfounded. He looked up at Ha Yeon-woo on the stairs for a while.

As if trying to gauge my thoughts, as if trying to figure out my thoughts. It’s like I can’t figure it out at all.

It seemed that he was constantly trying to judge the human named Ha Yeon-woo within the public’s evaluation and his own knowledge.

And then.

“teacher!”

Paik Kun-woo’s urgent voice was heard, and soon after, he approached as if flying and landed next to Ha Yeon-woo.

I glanced back and saw two middle-aged couples who seemed to be parents standing tens of meters away.

“Work?”

Paik Kun-wu looked around with a rather chilly expression and said. speculation has not yet subsided.

“Thanks to your help, I was able to finish safely.”

Paik Kun-wu felt it keenly.

Ha Yeon-woo may not have helped him as much as he deserved, but without him, the possibility that he would face thousands of awakened people was very high.

“Then let’s go soon.”

“yes? The authors… .”

“I heard you came from Japan.”

“then… Aren’t they the culprits of the first sound?”

“That’s right, they killed the Justice Guild and most of the Awakeners at this base.”

Baek Kun-woo’s expression strangely changed.

Obviously, even when we first met, he was full of hostility, but somehow the atmosphere seemed to have settled down.

In addition, if we look only at the result, regardless of the cause or process, isn’t it the same as the Japanese taking care of Paik’s obvious enemy?

He was also thinking of building a deal with the Justice Guild.

I am confused as to what stance I should treat them with.

“Japan is on the verge of extinction. According to them.”

“fall… .”

“Because there is a cube there. I probably couldn’t stand it.”

“ah… Well, things must be completely different than here.”

It was natural.

With the explosion of the cube, the starting point of the disaster, a huge number of monsters would have poured out of it.

It was obvious that the world we literally live in would be on a different level.

“Then, do you intend to just leave like this?”

Although he couldn’t show off his youthful appearance, he was definitely a strong man who went through life and death and settled into the 6th rank. That’s why I had to be good at judging the situation.

Thousands of Awakeners on the other side intuitively noticed the low-key atmosphere, the newly formed blood stains on the floor as if there had been a commotion, and the words of Ha Yeon-woo. that things are coming to an end.

That there will be no more battles.

“why. Do you feel uncomfortable because they look like they’ve mastered Busan?”

“A little… .”

Baek Geon-wu looked back while evading his words.

There were his parents in close proximity, and dozens of people who had already gathered long after him.

What he was worried about was not the fact that foreigners had invaded. It was the safety of ordinary citizens who were no different from grassroots.

“These are not people who came here voluntarily. They are all people who were run by the Justice Guild.”

“So I guess I killed them all.”

Ha Yeon-woo’s gaze turned to the tip of Baek Kun-wu’s sword. Bloodstains that I couldn’t clearly see.

It wasn’t to the extent that it formed and fell off, but it was still red because it hadn’t been long since it was buried.

As if it were his favorite sword, he hurriedly headed for this place, forgetting what he had habitually brushed off after each battle.

“Didn’t the teacher tell you?”

Paik Kun-wu’s expression is relieved and anguished. It was hovering somewhere.

“good job. It’s not empty, it’s sincere.”

The guy set his own line with this incident. And he succeeded in breaking the old mold he had.

be cautious nonetheless The goodness of worrying about the weak was not lost.

Maybe it was too late to save those people who came out belatedly following their parents.

He must have gone around every nook and cranny to save people, and in the process he would have rescued his parents as well.

The blood on the sword must have been the result of killing the few remaining remnants.

“Go, thank you. But it’s a little bit to leave those people… .”

Baek Kun-wu continues talking while showing a somewhat unfamiliar expression.

He responded with an accusation that was the exact opposite of what he had just said. Also still young

“so. Is it your intention to take them all? Looks like a hundred people? With what intentions and standards?”

“Yeah, but even the people here… .”

“I know that Busan has a population of 3 million. If you look at the land mass, there will be 300,000 people in Saha-gu alone. You have to die in a yard with no monsters to cut it in half. Does it make sense to take a hundred or so people?”

The admonition did not stop there.

“If you take the people here, how long will it take to travel? Where do you go to get a seat? Even if you can afford that, what about the rest?”

“If the teacher could help me a little more… !”

“Baek Kun-woo.”

“… yes.”

“I’ve never really been able to get along with people before.”

“Suddenly, what… .”

Paik Kun-wu’s head tilted at the sudden sound that sounded like a drumstick.

“Instead, there is a lot more to what you see and hear than books or history textbooks.”

There were times when he clumsily led mercenaries, times when he formed a force with his followers, and there were days when he lived like a king.

However, the results were not all so pleasant.

It could have been because it was so selfish, or it could have been that there was trash around it.

Your bowl may not have been that good.

Maybe even if it wasn’t for that ‘incident’, distrust of humans would have already sprouted from that point on.

“For me, time was overflowing. To the point of annoyance.”

It was like that by birth. I still judged myself as an ordinary guy to the point of not knowing why I became so strong and why I lived such a different life from others.

However, it is true that I was able to have a long time anyway.

Whether it was a blessing or a curse, Ha Yeon-woo had a long time that even ordinary people, as well as extraordinary or peaked beings, could not easily spend.

By the time I was sure that I would not lose in a fight with humans, Ha Yeon-woo chose a different way.

He watched the rule of the country, put forward a useful guy, and dominated by pressing down with force rather than embracing. their chiefs, not all.

It’s been about 300 years since I became convinced that he would no longer lose to humans.

He spent another three hundred years like that, and after that he was secluded, and met his wife a long time later.

“A good ruler. What do you think of when you hear the words of an old king?”

Everyone’s eyes were already focused, and the little buzz that was there had subsided.

As if everyone was waiting for Ha Yeon-woo to dispose of them, they held their breath and watched their conversation.

“I don’t know… Looking through from the top to the bottom… Maybe it’s like that… ?”

It was just a thought that a person of that age would do, so I ate and laughed.

It was the description of a good king that often appeared in history textbooks when I was a student.

“Well, I don’t know if there were such people, but from what I’ve experienced, people who don’t use their strength for useless things usually hear good rulers.”

“Useless… .”

“For example, things like what you are doing right now.”

Paik Kun-wu did not reply and was silently thinking. At first it seemed like he just wanted to listen.

“There are no specific plans. I can’t even solve it by force. I want to intervene, but I don’t know how.”

This is the benevolent ruler or good king he was talking about. It was the reality of most of the guys who looked from top to bottom. It was a prize that would be good if the current Baek Kun-woo led someone.

“Do you know how those guys usually end up?”

“… I do not know.”

“If you are hypocritical and then betrayed, or if you come out and get stabbed in the back, or other guys who look easy on you come after you. There may be good results, but that’s not his ability. You’re lucky.”

“Uh, um… .”

It was something I noticed when the conversation reached that point. That he was doing something sloppy about education that was packed with admonitions for himself.

Suddenly, Paik Kun-woo also threw a question as if he had forgotten the surrounding situation.

“Then what should I do? In this case… .”

Instead of answering, he turned his head. towards the Japanese military forces.

“Hayato Kimura.”

“yes yes!”

Kimura, who had already peeked at a positive response once, responded without relaxing.

It was a sign of knowing that it was time for the disposition to be decided.

The conversation that had been cut off because of Paik Kun-wu was resumed through an interpreter.

“Do you remember what I said?”

“I remember all of them.”

“Then you should have a sense of what kind of character I am.”

After thinking for a moment, Kimura’s mouth opened.

“Birth, affiliation, origin, and individual values are not important… The one who distinguishes humans into enemies and non-enemies… Can I express that?”

Kimura’s combat uniform differs only in gray and black from the Korean military uniform.

It has two stars on its collar.

I didn’t know much about the class system, but since he was in charge of a region, he might be a general.

Usually, these guys are basically smart.

And among the dogs, they were divided into those who were good at politics, competent, or both.

He came to this place in search of a way to live in a dying Japan, and from the attitude he showed after meeting him, I felt that he was close to the type of person who had both.

“Then I know how to act in the future.”

He was here as the representative of the survivors, the Awoken who took the lives of tens of thousands, and not as a representative of Japan.

As expected, the answer came out as if he had been waiting.

With a lot of spirit.

“I will not ask for nationality! We will protect everyone and put safety first!”

As if he knew that the main character of all this was Paik Kun-wu, he secretly met Paik Kun-wu’s eyes and continued talking.

“I will treat citizens fairly and not persecute them. And we will ban all crimes, including exploitation and extortion. right now… I’m sorry I can promise you, but that’s all.”

It was a rather satisfactory answer.
