chapter 147
147. Epilogue
Half a year has passed.
So, six months have passed since I made the mini portal and returned to Korea.
It was a lot of work to say that I lived without much trouble,
Nothing major happened if you lived intensely.
…No, okay. To put it bluntly.
There were more of them in the other world than in Korea.
At first, I just thought about going back to being an office worker.
Wake up at a certain time, go to work, wake up, and focus on your hobbies after work.
I was thinking of turning that ‘hobby’ into a vacation in another world, not just a game.
I opened the portal, and it won’t close. How good it is.
However, I met him not long after I returned.
‘Nice to meet you, Ivan.’
Founded the game company Idea,
The former protagonist who possessed me in another world.
Adam came to see me.
‘I’ve been watching your journey. Until the very end.’
I met him and talked a lot.
Most of it is gratitude and compensation towards me. And it was a story about the future.
‘Please. It seems like my world still needs you.’
I responded to his suggestion again,
Rather than enjoying the leisurely life on this side of the Earth, I ended up focusing on organizing traffic in the empire on the other side, which was in the midst of a period of rapid change.
Received payment.
With money.
With so much money.
Actually, I could already be said to be a member of that world, so there was no need to receive money.
There is no need to turn down something that is offered to you.
That’s how the situation turned around.
I spend most of my time in the other world, and sometimes when I need a change of pace, I end up using this side of the world as a tourist destination.
…And, truly surprisingly.
In the process, I learned that I am not the only one who can do ‘Korea tourism’.
This is absolutely absurd.
“…No, usually I’m the only one who can ride it, right?”
To the extent that this kind of self-talk still pops up.
The first thing I did as soon as I received support that could be considered ‘economic liberation’ was to move.
I moved out of the closet and moved to a two-story house in the mountains where there were relatively few people.
Accordingly, the portal was moved,
Currently, I am waiting for my partner in front of the portal in the corner of the yard.
A voice suddenly came from beyond.
“Ivan, you’re there, right?”
“Yes.”
An arm pops out from the portal, and soon the body and legs jump here.
No matter how many times I saw it, it still looked amazing.
She was a real-time ship from this world,
She wasn’t dressed there.
Let me stare,
Scarlett turned her head shyly.
“…Well, I know. “There is such a thing as clothing suited to the situation.”
“Yes? Ah, yes.”
“I’m comfortable in this, but if you’re a little more comfortable, you can change into a dress right now.”
It seems that she interpreted the moment of silence that started from me in a slightly different way.
“No, rather, it is an outfit that is perfect for the situation. To put it bluntly, this is not the Middle Ages.”
“Well, then what’s the problem? Why do you look at me like that?”
“Because we fit in.”
“…”
Along with the explanation, she also shared her honest impressions.
Black t-shirt and blue jeans.
On top of her tightly tied hair, there was even a hat worn so tightly that it covered her eyes.
It was truly the optimal outfit for walking around Korea in the 21st century, and it was nothing short of ordinary.
As expected, it was not enough to hide her beauty.
However, she seems to be really weak to such praise-
“…Paula?”
“It will come down soon.”
It was a clumsy change of topic.
I pointed to the second floor of my house, which I had left behind, and the front door opened as if in response.
Squeak-
“Ha-ah-am-“
A yawn that comes out from a wide open mouth.
Although it was still evening time, the saintess who was sitting on the Earth seemed a little sleepy.
It’s not because of the time difference between here and there.
I emphasize again, because Paula was stuck in Korea.
…To be a little more precise,
He lives in his room on the second floor where no one interferes, enjoying a paradise of modern culture.
“Meeting the West…”
The old way of speaking still remains,
The gray hoodie, which seemed a little baggy, clearly emphasized the fact that the saint in front of her had become the Gemsuni of the 21st century.
I understand.
There are many ways to enjoy life.
Honestly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is exactly how I lived before I was possessed.
However, she was a very ordinary person… No, she didn’t seem to like that appearance as she lived faithfully enough to write about five self-help books.
“…Are you still living like this?”
Scarlett opens her eyes and looks at Paula.
“…Are you jealous of Godsu’s life?”
“What are you talking about?”
“This Paula, she gained the Lord, but it cost her all her power. There’s nothing much to do out there.”
“No, what on earth does that have to do with living like a junkie-“
“Stop. Until there. “I will not accept complaints from medieval people who do not know the beauty of the Internet.”
Paula pulled down the hat attached to her hood,
He hid behind me to avoid Scarlett.
The girl who hugs me tightly from behind,
Scarlett is very disapproving but she smiles.
I looked at the clock,
Scarlett responded to me.
“It will come soon.”
“Did you hear that?”
“I heard that preparations are almost complete. “If the problem is that I heard it three hours ago and right before I came, it would be a problem.”
“…”
“You never know when your personality will be abandoned.”
“Is there any need to throw it away?”
Even as I said that, I was wondering if I should go pick him up.
With perfect timing, the last guest appeared from the portal.
Ttogak-
The proud sound of shoes echoed on the marble floor.
“Oh my, am I a little late?”
“No. “You came at the perfect time.”
Adela.
With her blue silk dress wrapped around her body, she seemed to shine in and of herself.
To be honest, it didn’t feel like it was a bit excessive,
Anyway, I probably won’t get any attention on the way to my destination today, so I decided to call it a day.
However, as soon as I saw her outfit, which was extremely stylish, I heard a small voice behind me-
A giggling comic between two women.
“It’s blatant, very.”
“More appeal than necessary… Impatience… A side-step behavior that is literally like a painting…”
“Can you hear everything there? “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but at least I can’t hear you!”
The noble appearance was that of a young lady,
Because that confident attitude of hers was just like her.
I gestured toward the owner of the limousine waiting on the road beyond the yard.
Immediately the driver’s door opens,
A tall white-haired man walked from inside to escort us.
It’s a face I know,
The man who was the main character of the game I played.
The richest young CEO in the world.
Adam.
As soon as he stood in front of us-
To be precise, as soon as I stand in front of Scarlett-
Bang!
I hit my head.
It was an incredibly cool attitude.
I wasn’t embarrassed when I saw that.
It was a familiar sight.
Scarlett looked down at him with cold eyes.
I felt like I wanted to step on it with my feet, but since it was in front of me, it seemed like I was holding back.
“Hey, iron horse driver. Are you ready to serve my husband?”
“Whether it is possible or not!”
“Try kidnapping somewhere else this time. Huh? “Can I ride this because I’m scared?”
“I’m sorry!”
Well… Okay.
No matter how humbly I accepted it, he was the one who kidnapped me and dropped me in the middle of another world.
Later, Scarlett, who heard the whole situation, descended to Earth and invaded the Edea headquarters, and had to endure some grief to prevent her from going on a rampage to kill the ‘former protagonist’ in front of her.
But, like everything else in the world.
Just like me and Adam.
Adam and Scarlett also found a dramatic compromise…
That’s just the way it looks.
Let’s not think too deeply.
Is that the way to live long?
—
‘Ivan.’
‘Yes.’
‘Today is exactly one year. From the day I possessed you.’
‘That’s why you came here.’
‘You may feel a bit unfamiliar now, but… Well, I don’t have any image to take care of anymore, so I’ll tell you.’
‘…’
‘Thank you for saving my world.’
That was the final death of Iron Horse Knight Adam.
A high-end hotel in Seoul.
When he arrived at the parking lot there, he fucked me again and again, no matter how many times he fucked me, I couldn’t thank him enough.
He was the one who responded at the speed of light to Adela’s scolding that he should just wait and not be embarrassed.
So we took the elevator and went up.
The top floor… I mean, the rooftop lounge.
Because I rented it for an entire day,
We were the only ones here.
So, I was able to enjoy it to the fullest.
Only I could monopolize the sound of the purest admiration.
“Wow, wow…”
“Do you like it?”
Night view of Seoul.
I really wanted to show it to them someday,
At that time, I wished I could be there too-
Both have been achieved.
“I knew that someone’s life becomes a light and that it all becomes a scenery.”
“…”
“I didn’t know it would be this beautiful.”
The young lady holding a wine glass in her hand
That’s how he commented on the spectacle beneath his feet
Although she was the one who pretended to be calm,
Her slightly trembling hands seemed to represent her feelings.
I lifted her hand and stroked Adela.
Only then did I find the young lady who expressed her honest feelings to be cute.
“…Can the empire become this brilliant someday?”
“For someone who is leading the magic engineering of a new empire, aren’t you too humble?”
She also responded with a grin.
“Well, that’s right. “It wasn’t like me.”
And Scarlett-
“Ivan.”
“Yes.”
“Hold my hand.”
It was just Scarlett.
I don’t know if that means my hands are cold, if it has some other meaning, or if it just means that I want to hold my hand.
I just held hands.
And, what happened next.
At least it wasn’t on my list of expectations.
“…”
After briefly kissing the back of my hand,
She looks up at me.
T-shirt and jeans.
She became a perfect girl,
She said this to the man in front of her.
“I think I like you.”
“Do you think so?”
“…No, okay.”
She usually looked away at this time, but this time she was different.
Instead, he grabbed me by the collar.
A little scary.
And then, after dragging him down to his side
“…”
Lips meet lips.
…Okay. We collided.
As expected, he was a friend who had no knowledge in this field.
But, for some reason, I got a little feverish.
To my shame, my side turned away.
And, she.
He said this in a playful voice.
“If you look away, I will kill you.”
I nodded,
The awkward silence didn’t last long.
In other words, by those girls who won’t stand by and watch this atmosphere last for more than two seconds.
“You put meaning into a kiss that everyone else has had. Paula, what do you think?”
“Beep beep… A desire to show off based on impatience and a sense of inferiority… 120% unscrupulous behavior… Corruption doesn’t do things like that…”
“Wait a minute, what exactly is that guy’s cronyism?”
“All of it?”
Scarlett clenched her fists.
“Can I drop them all?”
I answered.
“Be patient.”
—
Even if you twist the chicken head, morning will come.
A new semester has finally arrived in Russell, which could easily be considered a half-ruined historic site.
The main auditorium, I don’t know how many times it was rebuilt.
And, one person standing in front of the auditorium.
Red hair flowing over the black uniform,
The angled gait makes the viewer breathe carefully.
Charisma.
There is an instructor who is unrivaled when it comes to wielding abstract concepts.
Eventually, towards the students who were out of breath-
I said the first word.
“It’s so damn late.”
I heard someone unable to hold back their laughter.
Where the students looked, shrugging their shoulders, there was a white-haired girl sitting there, smiling breathlessly.
In the background, there was a blonde saint dozing off wearing a hoodie that did not fit the situation or era at all.
If you’re going to do that, don’t come.
To the girl who can barely swallow those words,
Someone among the students raised his hand and carefully asked a question.
“Um, um… Instructor Scarlett?”
“Hmm?”
“By any chance… Who are you waiting for? “We haven’t heard anything yet…”
The word ‘someone’ stuck in Scarlett’s head.
Somebody. What kind of person is this?
What kind of person is he?
Honestly, I still don’t know.
However, even though she is the first chick to wear the uniform this year.
As an instructor with a gray badge, I can’t just say ‘I don’t know’ to a student.
I decided to shorten it.
The most certain one she knows.
“You idiot.”
“Yes?”
Jump-
At the same time, the central door opened.
The sound of his footsteps as he strides is full of impatience, but he maintains a breathtaking elegance.
The half-undone tie,
It was enough to make the viewer see the person as ‘slightly far from sanity.’
However, she herself does not feel ‘bad’ even in that way.
She could properly be called crazy.
Therefore, she spoke without lowering the slightly raised corners of her mouth.
“Do you think it makes sense for a professor to come later than a new instructor?”
“Let’s think the opposite way. “Isn’t it a bit weird for me to come early and wait for you?”
I wasn’t familiar with honorifics,
It’s something you’ll have to get used to at some point.
He passed her,
She headed to the center of the main auditorium.
“Students, in fact, I am not a professor. I submitted my resignation notice a long time ago, but the crazy principal didn’t fix things, so I’m just a prisoner who was dragged out today. “Is there a hero who would take pity on me and write a petition against the unresponsive resignation?”
“…”
“Yes, I thought it wouldn’t happen. The reality is that it is too bad. Still, since I’m here, I have to do my best. So-“
His next words she was,
She received it on her behalf
“Think of it as death this year.”
Because that would be convenient.
“…”
The students became reflective,
A few people laughed,
They were among them.
And, he said.
Maybe it could be the last time,
A word that could possibly continue.
“Let’s start class.”
Became an idiot instructor at the academy (completed)
