Chapter 199: The Society Is Everywhere (5)

At that moment, in Busan.

Thank you for inviting me, Mr. Chairman.

Its nice to meet you, Ms. Nadeshiko. As I felt last time, your Korean is really fluent.

I learned it. Hehe. Hello to you too, Ms. Baek Seol-hee.

Yes. Its nice to meet you.

Baek Seol-hee felt puzzled by Nadeshikos bright voice and eyes.

A faint hostility directed only at her, not towards other people.

This hostility was not against Koreans or other S-class individuals.

It was like the hostility one might have towards a rival

Ms. Nadeshiko, excuse me for asking right after meeting you, but do you have any relation to the Goblin?

Ms. Seol-hee?

The Chairman was taken aback by Baek Seol-hees sudden question.

He quickly looked around, checking if there were any reporters or other people nearby.

Ms. Seol-hee, what are you talking about? Why create a strange situation?

Oh, you saw right through me. You are very perceptive.

Ms. Nadeshiko?

Im a hero, but I like the Goblin.

Hearing Nadeshikos words, Baek Seol-hee clenched her fist tightly.

Oh. Why do you react like that? Does it bother you that I like the man you like?

I do not like the Goblin.

Really?

As Baek Seol-hee spoke, the intensity in Nadeshikos eyes began to fade.

Oh, Im sorry. Everyone said that you and the Goblin were in a certain type of relationship.

Thats not true. I have no relationship with the Goblin.

With the Goblin, since she had never heard any story from him, there was no lie in saying she had no relation to the Goblin.

Baek Seol-hee did not lie.

I didnt want to feel uncomfortable over a misunderstanding, but it seems I was right. I hope there are no hard feelings.

Im sorry. I almost made a big mistake as soon as I arrived.

Nadeshiko placed her hand on her chest and bowed her head.

With her overwhelming presence, the Chairman coughed, but Baek Seol-hee, with a calm gaze, assured herself.

That she possessed more magical power.

Both in Gangneung and Jindo, since you were often linked with Mr. Goblin, I thought you were in that kind of relationship.

What kind of relationship are you talking about?

A relationship between a hero and a villain, but also as a man and a woman!

Hah.

A scoff escaped her.

Of course.

But she nearly let slip words she hadnt intended to say aloud and took a moment to compose herself.

Thats nonsense. Do you enjoy being associated with such villains, Ms. Nadeshiko?

Yes.

Yes?

I do. After meeting him a few times last year, Ive come to admire him.

What a bombshell statement.

Baek Seol-hee had blurted out the words, but somehow, she felt her fists trembling as she took another deep breath.

Huh?

No.

She had already caught on.

Baek Seol-hee knew that her emotions tended to show more in matters of the heart, but Nadeshiko was also very perceptive.

So,

Are you saying you like someone like the Goblin, even though hes a villain?

Oh. Is that what it was? Well, I can like a villain.

Thankfully,

Sigh, Mr. Goblin.

The student council following the principals directive.

It seems like the principal is desperate enough to borrow even a cats hand because the two S-classes keep singing the Goblin song. Though its more like borrowing a foxs.

Yoon Iseon shrugged her shoulders with a motion as if scratching forward.

Teacher, hypothetically, if theres a way to contact the Goblin, would it be right to use it now?

Iseon, do you have a way to contact the Goblin?

No. Thats why Im asking. If we call the Goblin for this, wouldnt that be insulting to the Goblins beliefs?

Beliefs?

Yes.

There was certainty in Yoon Iseons eyes.

The Goblin is someone who executes villains and punishes those corrupted by evil, not someone who performs like a clown in front of others.

.

Something.

It resonated deeply.

Student Iseon, werent you a fan of the Goblin?

Because Im a fan. The Goblin has his own beliefs, and he steps forward only when necessary. He even killed Duoexini. Should he come out just because two S-class heroes from Japan are making noise about fighting him? I dont think so.

Its moving.

Was this the true sentiment of a fan?

The fact that someone talked about me like this was deeply touching, and I was sincerely grateful.

Thats true. The Goblin doesnt need to step forward in this situation. But it seems like student Iseon wants the Goblin to step forward, right?

Me?

If not, theres no reason to hesitate. It seems to me that student Iseon has a way to contact the Goblin but is reluctant to use it.

.

That made sense.

Given that the Goblin has directly faced Duoexini, its plausible to request his help at least once, whether its to draw attention or because the Goblin owed a favor.

Whether through Yumir or another route.

I have to be reluctant. What I want to see and what the world wants to see are different.

Really?

The Goblin seems busier than we think. Hes much busier and involved in more important matters than we can see. Asking such a person to participate in this event is too presumptuous and apologetic.

That might be too much.

The Goblin was just worried about someone right now.

I think the Goblin will accept Hayabusas challenge, wont he?

What? Thats ridiculous. Why would the Goblin accept such a low-level challenge?

Low-level challenge? Its not low-level for an S-class to want to test their skills against another strong opponent. Of course, the pretext might have caused disputes on the internet, but I understand Hayabusas feelings.

Lets assume theres a villain in China called Chiyou Tianwang.

If he suddenly starts wearing a Taekwondo uniform and shouting Arirang Kick, Id be the first to step up and say something.

Even if that Chinese person changed his appearance without any thought just to hide his identity, the feelings of those spinning stories on the internet would be different.

Someone on the internet said that Dodjirider is even mentioned in the Goguryeo watermelon steles.

Really?

That cant be.

Its not in the Cheonmachong tomb or the watermelon steles.

Nor was it content from ancient murals.

Student Iseon. Setting aside the method, how about just asking? Who knows? The Goblin might happily accept based on student Iseons suggestion.

Why?

I dont know.

If theres a reason.

But if, just if, the Goblin is Korean. And if hes not hurt.

Thanks to Yoon Iseon, we were able to bait Duoexini.

Its a Korea-Japan match; maybe he could show up just this once?

Even if the Goblin was a villain.

If I were the Goblin, Id go unless there was another circumstance.

Because hes a patriot.

Even if.

Someone was setting a trap with a pregnancy attack.

I cant stand traitors.
