How a Catastrophic Necromancer Retired

When he smiled brightly as he handed the sign that said it was a donation for damage recovery to the local resident representative, the lights went out with the sound of camera shutters from all directions.

After the donation ceremony was over, the resident representative grabbed my hand and spoke in Japanese.

I’ve heard a lot of people saying thank you so much for giving such a large amount of donation.

“It was nothing.”

After finishing the donation ceremony, a diplomat given by the Japanese government approached me and said:

“thank you for your effort. A president.”

After blocking the undead corps, he did not go to Korea immediately, but stayed in Japan to fulfill the Japanese government’s request, so a diplomat given by Japan to facilitate communication.

I looked at such a diplomat and said,

“Is it all over now?”

“you’re right.”

I, who responded cooperatively to the Japanese government by interviewing the Prime Minister and interviewing the media.

There is also the meaning of atonement for those who have been harmed because of me, but the more I cooperate, the more positively I can get the Japanese people’s liking and support for me.

And finally, with this donation ceremony, all official schedules have come to an end.

“Would you like to go to a quiet place for a moment and talk to me?”

So now it’s time to get to the point.

So, taking the diplomat to a quiet conference room, I looked at the diplomat and said:

“Looking at it, the public sentiment seems to have calmed down a lot.”

Although I prevented it, a major accident that resulted in over a thousand deaths and thousands of wounded, including hundreds of Awoken.

In such a situation, the Japanese government actively used me to pacify the angry public sentiment.

While emphasizing that the Japanese government and I have a close enough relationship to mine the seabed together, I was able to intervene right away and block it because such a relationship of trust was built up.

Only then can the picture be drawn that this situation was prevented thanks to the negotiating power of the Japanese government.

Thanks to me, who suddenly intervened after being idly at nothing, I accidentally blocked it.

And in order to reinforce the Japanese government’s claim, I have met with high-ranking officials such as the Prime Minister on several occasions and showed off my close relationship with the Japanese government.

That way you won’t be able to say anything else later.

Anyway, it’s finally time to move in earnest now that the bottom rice is fully laid out.

“It was on the news. If I hadn’t intervened, the damage would have been many times greater than it is now.”

“That’s right. If it were not for Chairman Han, in the end, we had no choice but to request assistance from the United States, but Japan would have suffered more damage during that time wasted as it would not be sent immediately if we made a request.”

I nodded and said.

“Then it’s safe to say that the Japanese government owes me a debt, right?”

At my words, the diplomat glanced at me and said.

“Isn’t it thanks to having a good friend like Chairman Han?”

Also, like a diplomat, he stabs him directly, so he turns around and responds.

But it’s a diplomatic language, I don’t know, because I just say what I say.

“There is a saying that the more friends you have, the more accurate the transaction. In that sense, there is something I would like to ask the Japanese government for. I want to expand Ceron’s energy trading into Japan.”

An energy trade in which people pay money to buy horsepower.

It is certainly a good way to improve people’s living standards, but like China’s backlash, the standards for accepting this energy trade depended on the circumstances of each country.

There is no reason to object, as the developing countries that have nothing to do with Korea are exporting resources that did not exist.

Would such a country be willing to accept an energy trade that relied solely on Ceron?

When this energy trade is completely settled, power plants run with energy, and skeletons move, part of the nation’s base is subordinated to Ceron?

That’s never going to happen.

Unsurprisingly, the diplomat said with a bewildered expression.

“You mean the energy trade?”

“Yes. Korea is almost over, so now I want to go overseas.”

“Then other businesses…”

“Of course you have to go. oh Of course, the factory will continue to run in Korea.”

Every time a partner brings a partner to Korea, how big is the economic effect, and I will share it with Japan.

The key to advancing into Japan is to secure energy, develop a market, and deploy skeletons throughout.

Then the diplomat who understood what I was saying said with a firm expression.

“…then it is said that only skeletons are brought to Japan, so there will be no job problems?”

Korea is a method of attracting overseas factories to create new jobs and placing skeletons in those jobs, but this is literally about using skeletons to replace existing jobs in Japan.

However, this was not the only disadvantage for Japan.

“It could be. But Japan is already bringing in foreign workers due to the shortage of manpower, right?”

Japan is already experiencing the decline of the young population and lethargy before Korea.

Japan already had a much higher ratio of overseas workers than Korea due to a manpower shortage.

“Isn’t it there if we bring in overseas workers or use a skeleton? As you can see if you look at Korea, the introduction of energy purchases accelerates the avoidance of difficult and low-income jobs. Then the skeleton fills in that void. In addition, it will also create new jobs. Therefore, the actual Japanese people will not have to suffer from job problems. I’m not going to leave it like that.”

However, a diplomat who can’t express his expression even at my words.

No matter how much favoritism has increased, to Japan, I am a foreigner, and relying on such foreigners is a huge burden on the government.

The most obvious things here are carrots and sticks.

First I swung the whip.

“Of course, it doesn’t matter if the Japanese government rejects my request. Then it’s enough to just advance on your own.”

“Yes?”

“What I asked for was to further emphasize that we have a close relationship with the Japanese government, and the Japanese government is not absolutely necessary. It is not legally prohibited for foreign companies to enter the local market. Of course, the government can prevent the purchase of energy from falling over as a safety issue, but then it is enough to only advance into other businesses.”

In a word, no matter how you came out, I declared that I would go to my own way.

It emphasizes that it is a flow that cannot be stopped anyway.

“Ugh.”

Now that you’ve whipped it, it’s time to hand out the carrots.

“Diplomat. Didn’t Japan originally sprinkle money to stimulate the domestic economy? But if energy purchases are introduced here, won’t the domestic economy revive even more?”

Japan has been suffering from economic stagnation, called the “lost 30 years” since the bursting of the bubble.

To respond to this, Japan has been conducting various projects and sprinkling money indiscriminately.

In order to stimulate the domestic economy by pouring money into the market.

However, if the energy purchase is introduced at this time and money is distributed to the general public, the effect will be doubled.

It cannot be a policy that is perfectly suited to Japan.

The only problem is that the whole process is in my hands.

Anyway.

“In addition, I would like to offer this as well. Gate Defense Treaty.”

“Gate Defense Treaty?”

“When there is a gate problem that Japan cannot solve on its own, like this one, if the Japanese government asks me to, I unconditionally intervene.”

Isn’t it the best hand to appease the Japanese who complain about the unstable gate?

Unsurprisingly, the diplomat’s expression changes drastically.

“You mean unconditional intervention?”

“Yes. must. You know? These days, I hear people say that the SSS level should be designated separately.”

I, alone, blocked the monsters that even the Awakened group, including SS 6, defeated.

Naturally, when the situation became like this, various Awakening organizations suggested that I should be classified as an SSS level separately.

Of course, only the strength of the skeleton, not my strength, was highlighted, so I do not know if it will actually pass, but anyway, most of them admit that I am a strong person that exceeds the existing classification criteria.

“Of course, there will be some conditions. If there is a similar situation in Korea, you have to put Korea first and pay for each request, etc.”

If this happens, Japan is also Japan, but there is nothing wrong with me.

If it’s an undead corps, it’s conceivable that they should intervene anyway, and if not, it’s an opportunity to get a bunch of powerful corpses that can be recycled, unlike the undead corps, which cannot be recycled because morale and magical power are all destroyed if they don’t.

Even the travel expenses are taken care of.

I said with a smile.

“How is it? Under these conditions, it would be perfect for the Japanese government to save face and to appease the people.”

The Japanese government, who accepted my proposal through a diplomat, continued to ponder over and over again.

It is the best condition to mobilize my own force at any time, but Japan’s dependence on Seron and me will increase sharply in return.

After much deliberation, the Japanese government finally made a decision.

To accept the Special Energy Sales Zone under conditions determined in consultation with Japan.

“okay. what do you guys do You have to live first.”

Again, the most important was the Gate Defense Treaty.

Since I have already been severely hurt, my unconditional intervention is the easiest, quickest and most effective way for the Japanese government to take out.

At the same time, it is perfect for reassuring the Japanese people.

After signing a treaty with Japan and finally returning to Korea, I had no choice but to face reporters from all directions as soon as I left the departure hall.

“Chairman Han! I am a reporter for the Daehan Ilbo!! Just one question…”

“Can you tell me why you decided to intervene!!”

I rose to stardom in Japan and was reported on the news all day, but it was similar in Korea.

From the point of view of the Koreans, who had fewer SS-level Awakens than usual, the fact that the Korean Awoken alone blocked a horde of monsters that the Japanese Awoken could not block was just good news to get drunk on mulberry.

When reporters flocked to me like that, Kim Deok-bae and the bodyguards brought in by Kim Deok-bae, who came through the reporters.

“The interview will be done later! Just step back!”

Kim Deok-bae, who made a wall between the reporters and me with bodyguards, came up to me and said,

“···President.”

A face that has a lot to say.

I said with an awkward expression.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was going to be this long.”

“Do you know how hard it must have been for me to get things done thanks to the sudden departure to Japan without receiving a report?”

At the very least, Kim Deok-bae himself can’t figure out what’s going on, but he must have been dying to receive calls and calls from all directions.

Even in that situation, it must have been crazy to have to lead the various businesses of the Ceron group without me.

“The matter is so urgent. haha.”

Then Kim Deok-bae sighed and said.

“ha. Next time, can you please tell me in advance? Are you suddenly telling me to order a dedicated plane or prepare to enter Japan?”

“I was busy, so I couldn’t explain properly. I was called from all directions, and I was lost.”

“Anyway, let’s go and talk about the details.”

Me and Kim Deok-bae went to the car they had prepared while walking through the reporters with the bodyguards.

“How did you enter Japan?”

“The Japanese government is going to make an official announcement soon, but I signed a gate defense treaty with Japan, right? Because Seron has advanced to Japan, you…”

I was the one who informed Kim Deok-bae about what happened in Japan and about his future plans.

Then Kim Deok-bae, who had been listening for a while, said with an interesting expression.

“You are finally going overseas. That too.”

“Yes.”

“Unlike Korea, which is the third largest economy in the world and mainly exports, Japan has a huge domestic demand. It’s a huge opportunity. At the same time, I have the highest level of affection for the president.”

“Yes? Because I’m late coordinating it.”

“But, I ask that you tell me in advance so that I can deal with it more easily here.”

“I know. Okay. In any case, the Japanese government is also cooperative, so let’s get started, shall we?”

It’s time to show off the know-how you’ve accumulated over the years.

I said with a bright smile.

“It’s also about showing Japan a taste of skeletons and making it hard to get out.”

The Japanese government officially announced the Gate Defense Treaty, and Japan has advanced in earnest.

Of course, in the process, the Korean government was saddened by why they did not proceed with the treaty signing, but if the Korean government is involved, political logic will come into play, and various sensitive issues will rise on the board and the treaty signing will be sluggish.

So I moderately appeased the Korean government and proceeded with swift action alone.

Anyway, after the treaty was officially announced, another announcement was the special energy purchase zone.

The Japanese government minimized public backlash by tying the energy purchase and defense treaty together by paving this special zone as a city to which the defense treaty applies.

At the same time, favorability is at its peak, and if it is designated as a special zone, it will be the first to intervene in the event of a gate accident.

Anyway, the special zone officially designated by the Japanese government was Fukuoka.

The reason Fukuoka was designated as a special zone was because it suited the current situation in many ways.

It has a suitable population of 1.4 million and is the closest city to Korea, so it is a smart special zone that actively attracts IT and start-ups while attracting many Korean tourists.

Thanks to this, there was less resistance to new technology, which was perfect.

Anyway, the first thing that Fukuoka was selected as a special zone and introduced was energy purchase and skeleton.

A method of opening a door to energy purchase and filling in the gaps created by it with a skeleton.

Originally, I thought that I would be able to settle in Japan without any major problems since there is a severe shortage of manpower, but a problem arose here.

“Is there a lot of reluctance? This was not expected.”

Obviously, Fukuoka has relatively little antipathy towards Korea and has a high affinity for me, but the problem is the skeleton itself.

Unlike Korea, where the skeleton has been slowly melting over the past few years, and the recent gate incident, Japanese people have never had this experience, so they are startled and startled when a skeleton appears.

In particular, the antipathy towards skeletons is extreme, especially among the elderly, who instinctively reject Korea in spite of their liking for me because of their age.

I frowned and said.

“What? Are you saying that when a skeleton appears, you report it and refuse to approach it?”

In Korea, the unimaginable is happening.

“This is going to hit. Whoa.”

but.

If you think about it, didn’t you try hard to get rid of the antipathy towards skeletons in Korea at the beginning?

Thanks to that, it has become a very natural world for skeletons to wander around in Korea now.

But in Japan, the whole process has been skipped.

“I need to reduce my rejection of skeletons, is there any good way?”

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I can’t come up with a good way.

“Is it a problem that time will solve?”

This fundamental rejection is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

“Or do you want to localize something?”

How to reduce the rejection of skeletons through localization for Japan, just as Protégé products have bulletproof functions according to the local situation in the United States.

“Isn’t Japan a manga paradise? Would you like to make a cartoon with a skeleton as the main character and spread it out? Or animation?”

It seems like a good way to do it, but is this the only way?

The skeleton you see in cartoons and the real skeleton are completely different.

“Let’s find another way.”

After thinking about it for a while, I connected to a site that collected information about the Japanese business world.

“The most certain thing is looking at local companies.”

A successful company in the capitalist market is nothing more than a cross section of the society.

So, I checked the companies one by one according to the Japanese business rankings.

“Bank. stockbroker. Electronic products. Is it similar to Korea?”

Korea is a country that has grown by benchmarking Japan, which was doing well during difficult times.

For this reason, the main businesses of companies in the business world are similar in both Korea and Japan.

“Hmm.”

That’s when I checked the company.

Among them, I found a company in an industry that I had never even seen in the Korean business rankings.

“…a theme park?”

That is the company that operates Tokyo Mouse Land, which is a franchise of Mouse Land, a famous American theme park.

Of course, there is nothing strange here.

Korea also has theme parks and the scale of the business is quite large.

However, this company is really top-notch.

“The company that operates the theme park is the 10th largest in Japan by market capitalization!?”

It’s just that an amusement park operating company boasts a market cap of 80 trillion won in Korean money and ranks 10th in the overall Japanese company rankings.

Even a famous Japanese game company that everyone knows by name has a lower market capitalization than a theme park operator.

“If 80% of the sales come from the two theme parks owned, you mean that you have achieved 10th in market cap by operating only amusement parks, right? Such crazy.”

I just discovered it, so I don’t know what it is, but this one thing is for sure.

I don’t know why in Korea, but in Japan, theme parks make money.

And at the same time…

“A theme park is a place to play. If this is the case, would it be perfect to reduce rejection?”

Skeleton theme park where skeletons are used to make rides, and skeletons move around to serve and service.

Isn’t this a localization project optimized for Japan?

The fact that it is money is proven by that company, which is already ranked 10th in market capitalization, and it is a business of one stone and two birds that can reduce the Japanese’s rejection of skeletons.

I said with my eyes shining.

“Let’s find out about this.”
