Kyushu Crisis (5)
Korea Returnees Association Seoul Southern Branch.
“Hmmm~ Oh, is this a new one? You have to do this right away.”
Jiyoon Yoon, the branch manager, was humming a song in peace and doing other things on the work computer.
It was a luxury that I couldn’t even dream of in the past when I was busy, but it’s not that uncommon after I’ve been able to afford it recently.
“You seem to be in a good mood, branch manager.”
“Oh, is Secretary Kim here? then! Are you enjoying life very much these days? This is where people live. Honestly, it’s been a while… hasn’t it?”
“ha ha ha···. It cannot be denied.”
The secretary, smiling bitterly, handed her a new report.
Of course, he, who was always busy with her whenever she was busy, liked it now more than before.
“Hmm, as expected, the Japanese side is in trouble in many ways. The head of the association must be a bit of a pain in the ass. The same goes for the Ability Management Bureau.”
“I have no choice but to do that. It is an undeniable fact that Hahoe mask is Korean.”
“Well, there is no point in telling us anything. Anyway, regardless of the country, the people who do politics are fucking shit if only the number of cases comes out?”
The branch manager put the finished document down on the desk and leaned against the back of the chair.
Although she received the report, there was nothing she could do about this matter, so there was nothing much different from before.
“As expected, a moderately high seat is the best. There are only a lot of things to be concerned about if you go up to a high position for no reason. Are you still like that?”
“Ha ha… you are speaking from experience.”
The secretary gave an awkward smile.
In fact, Yoon Ji-yoon, the head of the southern Seoul branch, was barely a person to be in the current position.
She, who is always on the top three when it comes to Korea’s official strongest, was a great hero who finally brought peace to the world after ending a great war that lasted for a hundred years in the different world she was sent to.
Even though it has already been decades since her return due to the time difference, earthlings who visited that world after that could easily find the traces left in various parts of the world.
Not only are they dealt with heavily in history books, but also huge statues and biography of great people built in major cities, plays, songs, etc…
It is even said that the ‘Yoon’ family, which she built with her followers and war orphans, has already established itself as the most prestigious family. It was embarrassing.
There were cases where he purposely came from abroad to meet her once, so it can be said that he said everything.
“Still, because of the Hahoe mask, the crime rate is reduced, so the work is comfortable and nice. Well, the situation in Japan is different from ours, so there is nothing we can do about it.”
“Is that why you didn’t come forward on purpose?”
“Yes? No, actually, I didn’t think anything would change if I left… Besides, it wasn’t just me, was it? I mean everyone thinks the same. Well, there are probably quite a few guys who were really scared and bought it.”
As she said, the pursuit of Hahoe Mask continued, but there were very few cases where the highest-level Awakener actually went out to catch him.

Most of them reluctantly responded to the pressure from the political world.
However, because Hahoe masks were so new and rare, there was never a single direct clash between them.
“Honestly, are there only one or two people who feel refreshed in Hahoe Mask? Look at it now, the crime rate is reduced by taking care of yourself, how convenient is it? .
I was criticized for being incompetent because of that, but when I think about the current peace, I thought it was worth it.
‘Honestly, I want Hahoetal to wipe out all corruption in the political world.’
However, if even the vested interests in Korea became a direct target, the Supernatural Management Bureau and the Returnees Association had no choice but to abandon their current policy of conciliating him and actively step forward.
Hahoe mask is probably targeting violent criminals openly.
This and that complicated issue and the self-purification of society are left to those who follow the system.
‘I’m sorry I can’t seem to live up to your expectations.’
She rubbed her brow as she recalled the political figures she was still talking about.
In the midst of that thought, she suddenly saw the secretary move urgently and turned her gaze toward it.
He checked the tablet with a serious face to see if he had been contacted by something else, and then froze on the spot.
No matter how you look at it, it looks as if something has exploded.
Yoon Ji-yoon, who became anxious at the same time, called him cautiously.
“what’s the matter? What’s up? Did something happen?”
“…”
“If you keep doing that, it makes me anxious. why? What is it?”
The secretary, stiffened by her repeated urges, held out the tablet she was holding without saying anything.
At the same time, let’s disconnect the wireless earphone in one ear…
[Kyaaah——!]
A roar that sounded like a roar that leaked out of the speaker echoed through the office like a roar.
“uh? What is this…!”
Yoon Ji-yoon hurriedly took the tablet and checked the video again.
The length of the video that kept repeating was not very long.
The empty space shattered like glass, and an ominous black pillar soared high into the sky.
A monster that could only be seen in CG appeared and swam over a hill with a dark aura.
It wasn’t clear because the video was taken from a distance, but with a figure with a very familiar impression on her head.
“Wait, this can’t be…”
“This video was taken in Kagoshima, Kyushu, Japan!”
“…is this filmed on the real Earth?”
She opened her mouth.
Aside from being an unfamiliar monster that you have never seen in the world you have been to, how high is that level that you can feel such a presence just by looking at it on the screen?
No, does it make sense for a being from another world to appear on Earth before that?
“As expected, this must be a Hahoe mask, right?”
“I guess so.”
“Ha ha ha ha… I was scolded.”
After setting the tablet down on the desk, she leaned against the backrest and wiped her face with a devastated smile.
“I never thought that the debut stage of a prince who had been hiding his identity would start with such a big news.”
There was only one video she saw, but even at this moment, similar videos continued to flood.
Not only was it taken directly with a smartphone, which is a necessity for modern people, but also a black box in a car, and even a real-time broadcast by an internet broadcaster who happened to introduce nearby restaurants.
She is in Seoul, Korea, and can immediately see what happened just a moment ago in Japan.
In this age of globalization, if there was such a clear ‘evidence’ video, the aftermath could have been expected without much thought.
And as she guessed.
This incident was spreading to people all over the world very quickly.
***
explosive reaction.
It was a word that clearly expressed the Bone Dragon situation that appeared in Japan.
That interest spread to both returnees from the other world and ordinary citizens who had only indirectly encountered the culture of the other world, and soon became a huge flow.
-what? What is that? is it a dragon? Bone Dragon?
-crazy! Why does it come out of the earth? Isn’t this synthetic?
└ There are not just one or two videos uploaded now. They are all taken from different angles.
-How can the undead of the other world move like that? How did you circumvent the law? please let me know too! Because of that, I can’t even take out my children, whom I brought so hard!
└ hahahaha hahahaha I just caught a necromancer. here it is here! Catch it quickly!
└?? Where do you live? It doesn’t take long to hire a hacker.
└Sorry. Help me. Wrong.
It was a fact that most people did not know, but in fact, there were no summoner-type returners who summoned beings from the other world.
However, the Earthlings’ aptitude for that ability was not good enough to be the worst, and eventually they became so rare that they had no choice but to choose another path, stagnant at a mere level.
If it were serious, it would be more than the well-known Spiritualists due to the small number of them due to environmental problems.
In such a situation where there was no immunity to ‘existence from another world’, a tremendous being called the Bone Dragon suddenly appeared.
-What are the people who say manipulation after seeing this? Even looking through the screen, it seems like my liver is shrinking.
└That’s right, that’s why people who saw that in person in the video screamed and went crazy. Even though it’s very far from the distance it was filmed.
└ Oh, I played it on my dog as a joke, but suddenly he peed. you don’t do it Never show it to children.
Above all, the element that attracted the attention of the public was the overwhelming sense of reality that was felt even in the video.
It must have been diluted considerably, but the vividness and creepy roar that seemed to jump out at any moment made many people immerse themselves in it even more.
Given that situation, it was only natural that the videos were quickly analyzed by many people.
In the end, it didn’t take long for the fact that the identity of ‘the one standing on top of the dragon’s head’ was the ‘Hahoe mask’, which was talked about a lot in Korea.
-??? why is this real? I thought it was just an aggro joke ;;
– Aww! finally! Truth wins! You filthy and ugly evil spirits!
-Ah hahahahaha I feel relieved to think that all those people who were talking about paranoia will shut up—Ah.
In spite of the ignorance of many people, those who had been steadfastly crying out for the existence of Hahoe Mask diligently spread his achievements with cheers.
It was naturally translated into many languages and spread all over the world along with the video.
…a bit embarrassing.
“No, this is such a hot topic? I expected it to some extent, but this is too much.”
Han Seong-hyun, who was researching data on the Internet at the development that was no different from the social phenomenon, scratched his head and stuck out his tongue.
Although the existence of the Hahoe mask was proven, it was not a basis for acknowledging the achievements that had spread so far.
However, the video of the dragon that left a deep impression on everyone became a kind of persuasive force, giving a strong credence to the story that had been floating around like a ghost story until now.
As a result, words referring to him were being talked about here and there.
Unofficial Korea’s strongest, the one who rules the night in Korea, the reaper of criminals, the guardian in the dark, and the eternal death crawling with the dawn…
‘No, not the last one. Who’s playing this prank? Who crawls?’
As a bonus, recently added nicknames include ‘Dragon Rider’ and ‘Island Bomber’.
“…it looks like it’s going to become famous unexpectedly. No, I don’t think it’s that bad after all.”
There was no special reason for avoiding leaving evidence.
It was just that he knew that what he was doing was not right according to social norms, so he did it naturally.
‘Now that I think about it, I didn’t really have to hide it so thoroughly.’
Rather, it would have been more effective as a deterrent to prevent crimes by increasing the value of the name and increasing the presence as it is now.
It’ll make the villains think one more time before they do anything.
But that’s it, there was another important problem now.
‘Anyway, they’re formidable guys. Buncheonhoe.’
Immediately after using Heratos’ Abyss Breath to break their other world.
Hans immediately set up a new barrier to prevent them from escaping and blocked their retreat.
That’s why the videos that are circulating right now aren’t that long, but the problem is that they’ve been prepared for every situation and thoroughly prepared.
‘I never thought I’d escape by moving space in that situation. I caught a few more before that, but it’s not a good balance.’
It was unavoidable as it was not easy to block the unique skill even with barriers.
In addition, since they were selected and selected elite members, it would not be too much to understand that they were able to break through the hastily installed barrier and escape.
The only consolation was that after persistently targeting the man in the suit who used the space behind him, he finally succeeded in shooting him.
He was also a person with a high rank, but most of his abilities were focused on his own skills, so his combat power itself was not very high.
There must have been a point that the skill wasn’t in a normal state in the aftermath of being forcibly destroyed.
‘… isn’t it? Come to think of it, there’s nothing to regret about missing them, right?’
In fact, the invader who invaded their front yard was Hans, and they were an interception unit that came out to protect the base.
And now I’ve only cleared one Kyushu.
There are still many areas left to clean up, they have already been defeated, and the user of ‘The Underworld’, the biggest factor that drove Hans, is also dead.
But even if I ran away now, where would I go?
food-
“Where, let’s see how long we can hide while the house is burning down?”
Along with the sound of ridicule resounding insinably from a corner of a room in Korea.
After Hahoe Mask, Hans moved quietly to the next area in Japan.
To set fire to their lair.
