After receiving Baek Seol-hee’s call,

I revisited the community forum.

“Brewer, you’ve seen the ice bridge over the Jindo Bridge that Baek Seol-hee created, right? It’s trending.”

“Absolutely. She temporarily crafted a raised road of ice, and the Goblin dashed across it before soaring into the sky.”

Brewer queued up a video.

-Wow, look at that! An ice bridge! Oh, and the Goblin is on a motorcycle!

-He’s crossing from Jindo, whoa…! The bike’s flying!

-He zoomed in when he arrived as well.

-Oh, come on, it’s like every time you open your mouth, you just…

The title was snarky, which was typical for this community.

-Did you catch the video? It’s unmistakably Baek Seol-hee.

-Folks, at this rate, we’ll end up being sued by BSH lol

ㄴDon’t use initials. Just call her ‘Snow White-nim.’

-How can you say it’s forced? They’re a perfect fit, haha

A gallery dedicated to shipping the Goblin and Snow White. Despite Baek Seol-hee’s recent pleas for discretion, the netizens remain keen on pairing her with me, given our history of conflicts.

-Honestly, it would be a crime against world peace if they don’t marry, given their chemistry.

-Show some patriotism! Marry for ‘world peace’ already!!

-An ice cave that endures the Goblin’s bat… In the midst of their melting, sticky tension, an S+ rank ability user emerges…!

The reasons for shipping vary, but that’s the gist of their thoughts.

If Baek Seol-hee and I were to have a child, what incredible power might they inherit?

And imagine if that child grew up to be a hero serving Korea and the world?

While stories of Duoexini and Zenros still circulated elsewhere, the spotlight was on Baek Seol-hee and my so-called patriotic deeds here.

Just look at the trending posts in this gallery.

-Photos of Goblin-nim and Snow White-nim together.

-???: Farewell

-Jet Goblin Attack!!!

- It would have been perfect if he had given her a kiss before leaving. Seems like someone needs to watch more Hong Kong movies.

There was a scene where I fought the S-class demon Skullion, where I rode a bike into Skullion’s head to save Baek Seol-hee and the final scene where Baek Seol-hee created the ice bridge to let me go.

Buuuaang.

Even while watching the video again, there was a crowd around us.

The video captured the astonishment of the crowd as they watched me ride the bike, flying straight into the sky from the high point of the ice overpass.

Many had seen it.

It wasn’t strange that Do Ji-hwan didn’t witness Baek Seol-hee’s heroics.

“Ah.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Should I have first asked if she was okay after almost being beaten by Skullion?”

That was my mistake.

It was our first conversation, and instead of responding to Baek Seol-hee’s question, I should have empathized and expressed concern for her.

“Such a basic mistake.”

The situation last night was complicated; problems were arising in real-time, and I was a bit drowsy after eating.

She must be thinking this.

Do Ji-hwan was sweet-talking a girl in Ulleungdo while she was struggling, flying from Incheon to the south.

Surely, she must feel neglected that I was playing with another woman and hadn’t even asked if she had a hard time.

“I should send a message. To say she did well.”

“Isn’t texting risky? What if Cheonriyan catches it?”

“It’s more important to appease Baek Seol-hee than to worry about Cheonriyan catching her dating a normal person.”

“…Well, she must feel neglected.”

Brewer grimly smiled at my non-mistake mistake.

“Maybe it’s better to just go public and get it over with. That way, ultimately, it’s Do Ji-hwan who saved Baek Seol-hee.”

“That’s true.”

Ultimately, I wasn’t worried about Baek Seol-hee because I had saved her yesterday in Jindo and had seen with my own eyes that she was okay.

“Maybe I’m a bit tired. I need to think about this.”

“If we get caught because of this, it’s over, right?”

“It’s okay. If our identities are revealed, there’s only one thing Baek Seol-hee will do.”

I mimicked choking myself, and Brewer’s expression hardened for a moment.

“Are you planning to enter the tiger’s den alone?”

“There’s a saying that you can survive in a tiger’s den if you keep your wits about you.”

“How do you plan to get out? Shouldn’t you implant a GPS inside your body or something?”

“I’ve already done that.”

“…Really?”

“Yes.”

In a very important place.

Baek Seol-hee wouldn’t think to look where I hid the GPS, which tracked the location of a man named Do Ji-hwan.

“I just need to persuade Baek Seol-hee with patriotism.”

“…Ha. I don’t know. If it looks like I might get kidnapped, I’ll just find a carrot to shake or something.”

“It’s not a carrot you should be shaking, but a goblin’s bat.”

[This is breaking news. The government has decided to accommodate all individuals who have lost their abilities on Sejong Island… Ahh!]

The reporter delivering the breaking news suddenly cried out.

[There, there! An ice bridge is forming towards the sky!]

Buuuaang.

Above the lying protesters.

A solid ice road emerged, towering over the protesters, with vehicles speeding across it.

The vehicles moved so quickly that they didn’t slip backward on the icy path despite slight inclines or declines.

-Eh, what?!

-Ahhhh! Snow White is trying to kill civilians with her car!

Gugugugu.

The ice road held strong.

Dozens, then hundreds of vehicles crossed over the protesters at speeds exceeding 100km/h, without even a speck of ice dust falling.

“They just moved through the protesters… using their abilities.”

“It’s the power of an S-class.”

The ensuing controversy?

It didn’t matter.

“Given Baek Seol-hee’s usual behavior, it won’t cause much trouble. You know those people. How bad must they have been to provoke her to this extent?”

Public opinion sided with Baek Seol-hee, the hero, not the protesters.

“If the protesters were the ones who turned Baek Seol-hee into a devil, would Baek Seol-hee be criticized, or would those people be?”

Demonization is also a threat that ability users can pose to normal people.

“For starters, I think I’ll curse the protesters.”


“This is definitely certain.”

Crossing the ice bridge on the way to Busan, Cheok Jun-kyeong smirked, enjoying the protesters’ reactions in the news footage.

-How can they do this? There are people lying down below, and they’re driving cars over them!

The protesters were red-faced with anger, but the reaction of many others wasn’t too favorable towards them.

-So refreshing! Baek Seol-hee! The pride of Busan!

-After getting involved with the Goblin, she’s really pushing through!

“Hmm, maybe she’s been influenced.”

If the previous Baek Seol-hee had been pure white, gradually, that white had started to gain shades of gray.

Like a single drop of black ink turning pure white to gray, the Baek Seol-hee before and after the Goblin’s appearance were quite different.

“She looks more human now, and I like it. Indeed.”

Cheok Jun-kyeong, when no one was looking, sneakily pulled out his smartphone—

“Jun-kyeong.”

“…Senior?”

But then he quickly put it back in his pocket.

The fact that Baek Seol-hee had called him sent chills down his spine.

“What, what is it?”

“Why so startled? Were you writing hate comments on your phone?”

“…No, why would I write hate comments?”

“Is that so? Then you need to help me.”

“What is it? Did they block the road with cement? Should I break it?”

“No.”

Baek Seol-hee lowered her voice, her face expressionless.

“I’m thinking of gifting shoes to a man, and you know about shoes, right?”

“Are you gifting them to the Goblin? Should I get a pair for each size?”

“…No, it’s not that. The size is 280.”

“…Who are you planning to give them to?”

“Quiet.”

Baek Seol-hee’s voice grew even lower.

“You know I trust you; that’s why I’m telling you this. Understand?”

Ah.

This.

If he handled it wrong, it would be big trouble.

“I can’t ask Taejo for something like this.”

“…So, I just need to keep my mouth shut until the wedding invitations are out, right?”

“Yes.”

“….Well, I don’t know who it is, but congratulations in advance.”

Cheok Jun-kyeong made a zipping gesture over his mouth and pointed to his Taeguk Watch.

“I’ll buy one as soon as I arrive in Busan and give it to you before you go to Sejong Island. Don’t worry.”

“Thank you so much. I did well by asking you.”

“It’s nothing. You can always count on me, senior.”

“Thanks.”

Baek Seol-hee left with a bright smile.

Cheok Jun-kyeong, feeling like frost had settled on his shoulders, shivered and, turning on his smartphone, frowned at the community he was about to enter.

“I thought the Goblin was her main affair.”

Cheok Jun-kyeong consoled his disappointment by looking at those shipping the characters.

“I shouldn’t say anything. Sigh. This is… Well. The senior can’t stay single forever… Huh?”

Cheok Jun-kyeong immediately frowned at a new post he saw.

“What, has this guy lost his mind…?”

Cheok Jun-kyeong’s hands trembled.

“How can they try to pair up the Goblin and Platinum Sun…?”

[Chuncheon Fire Fox]: Honestly, guys, isn’t the Goblin and patriotic one Platinum Sun? Haha

Cheok Jun-kyeong quickly typed a new post on his smartphone.

[Goryeo’s First Gun]: The main affair is Baek Seol-hee. If you argue, you’re wrong.

[Chuncheon Fire Fox]: Next, fifty percent^^

[Goryeo’s First Gun]: Next, Mage Army^^

[Chuncheon Fire Fox]: A real supporter of the mistress, I see^^

“Really now.”

Inside the community.

“Have they lost their minds?”

A war had started.
