The world was surprised.

[Shock! An unidentified male elf who single-handedly prevented the Sabre attack!]

[Estimated to be similar to Xinjia's ‘septic' abilities.]

[Estimated horsepower detected 129M. Guess it's more than the average horsepower of Xavier and his faction.]

Things were different from yesterday.

In one day, the countries who ridiculed South Korea's status changed.

I was worried that they might have a fire flare.

― This will make Korea third in the world power?

- The mysterious Elf. If you stop five Celestials by yourself, you're practically the strongest of them all.

- It's unconditional. You wiped them out with a single blow. Who else would be able to demonstrate such a delegation?

The world was excited about the emergence of heroes.

The most exciting of them all were the Korean citizens.

Can we not be excited about the appearance of the hero who freed us from the terror of destruction?

― Bee ~ bee. Fucking politicians. Yesterday, everyone was busy fleeing overseas. Let's see you un-flow me again.

- You don't believe me, do you? You didn't get hit once or twice, did you? Shinjia is the best, right?

- If I ever trusted those fucking politicians again, I wouldn't be a man.

Contrary to the growing praise of mythical groups, Shinjia and the heroes who handled this, the anger toward politicians who abandoned Korea only grew.

- Everyone's worried. There's nothing they can do about it. I think the news is coming soon.

- Someone I know works in the control room, and they're about to start a political, superhuman, or massive watershift.

― This time, the red currency ran away, so it was easy.

― The mythological group, the remaining politicians who did not flee this time, seize the new regime.

- Sounds like shit to me. This is who I am.

- I'm a country. Dannara.

The fugitive president and his secretary, as well as the colorful blasphemy of politicians and superhumans, came to light.

- But we're lucky. Look at Japan. It's just apocalypse now.

Politicians are everywhere, but we're the only company in the world, like a mythological group. Let's settle for that.

Long live the mythical group. Hail, Shinjia. Hail, Elf.

Of course, not everyone was happy.

Even if the crisis had been overcome, the current state of hostility with Savior has not changed.

- Wake up, guys. Even if I stopped them, I only stopped five heavenly people. We don't know what will happen if we bring more troops next time.

- That's right.

- It's over the mountain.

Of course, it wasn't just pessimism.

Don't you know Xavier's at war with the shipwreck? You're sending troops to Korea in such a situation? Would you do something like that if you weren't an idiot?

- That's right, too.

― If you take it out on a large scale, the wave will be good.

It was a parallel line after all.

The entertainment of table journeys is not the right answer.

- Whatever it is, there's hope.

- I don't know. I haven't left the office yet. Either the Elves helped us or someone with the same abilities as Cynthia helped us, which makes things a lot better.

- Yeah, but it's scary. What if I go to bed now and I can't wake up tomorrow?

One day passed while a strange situation with moderate mixture of pessimism and optimism remained.

And the next morning.

Breaking news! It's a truce!

Once again, the world was surprised.

- I heard the hero solved it again!

- [chuckles]

- This is me! Fuck!!

Korea turned the crisis into a chance.

“That went better than I thought. I never thought I'd accept a truce like that so soon. ”

“I see. Why do you even care about me when you're dealing with the ripples? ”

Gia put a cup of tea in front of me.

“I would have sent the Five Heavenly People back alive as well. ”

“Right. If I was really the leader of the faction, I wouldn't have spared the vital power of an intermediate angel. ”

I picked up the teacup and smelled it.

The aroma alone clears my mind.

“Smells good. What kind of car is this? ”

“Lefttaris leaves, we're cars. It's good for recovering from blood loss. ”

“Oh, that's it. Thanks. I'll drink to that. ”

I just picked up the teacup and took it to my mouth.

“Oh, that tastes great. ”

“I'm glad you feel like you've been kissed. ”

I put the teacup back on the table and stared at Jia.

“What's the matter? ”

“Well, I've been worried about you for a while. ”

“Yes.”

“Why did you come back in such a respectful way? ”

I didn't notice because I didn't have a sense of camouflage. On second thought, since yesterday's situation was over, I have been respectful.

“That's · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Is it because I turned into an elf? ”

“Well, it's the same reason. ”

If you're right, you're right. What are the similar reasons?

“Is my respect uncomfortable? ”

“Huh? No. It's not like that. ”

It's a bit embarrassing because it suddenly changes.

“If you're not uncomfortable, I'll keep doing this. ”

“· · · · · · · · Well, if Jia is comfortable. ”

It's none of my business.

“Meanwhile, I'm trying to change my title. ”

“Previous Title? ”

Previously on ”The Ancients”...

“What's wrong with that? ”

Is there a reason?

“I need it for image making. ”

“Image making? ”

“Yes.”

Gia grabs a cup of tea.

“Your ancestors are making a name for themselves around the world. Among other things, Korea's reputation is unmatched. ”

“That's what you were after in the first place. To maximize your influence in Korea. ”

It was mainly the intentional spread of combat footage. Thanks to this, I got the title of hero who saved Korea from the crisis of destruction.

“I'm going to make a name for myself. ”

“Pull him up?”

“The hero of the Elves, not the mysterious Elf who helped Korea. High Elves, the first of them. to the press.” ”

Aha. Is that what this is about?

“Will you value me more? ”

“Yes, that would be a good deterrent outside the country. It's going to be more united internally. ”

“So you're the ancestor. ”

“Yes. We don't know who's watching us. I thought I'd call you my ancestor. ”

“So that was the kind of respect you were talking about? ”

Thinking about it, I had a lot of people around me when he first said something respectful to me.

That's what you meant.

“Yes?”

I think you're confused.

“No?”

“Oh, no. That's right. That's why.”

Jia nods vigorously as soon as she returns to her usual smile.

“Well, if that's what you mean. ”

You think you can stand up to your ancestors now?

“Yes. I'll call you my ancestor again. ”

Gia smiles widely.

“My press conference is tonight as planned, right? ”

“Yeah, that doesn't change anything. ”

Gia grins bitterly, touching the handle of the teacup.

“· · · · · · Sorry. For asking me to do such a clown thing. ”

“Hmm? No. It's hard to get a press conference in the form of an Elf. If this makes your position stronger, I can say a few times. ”

“Ancestor · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Gia looks at me with an impressive look.

“Thank you.”

Then I smiled.
