Somebody Stop the Pope – 195



Episode 195

63. The guest who came openly

1.

Why would China send a special envoy to South Korea at this time?

There aren’t many.

Considering that there was a battle between the Awakened in Shanghai there is really only one answer.

“To request reinforcements right?”

“We expect that too.”

“What’s going on with those guys who only have pride?”

This is Director Kim’s car heading to the Ability Management Department. Ja-hyeon was sitting next to me.

I was planning to keep him with me during the internship period and he needed to be in training to function as an irregular in the future.

This opportunity for Chinese irregulars to visit was also a very good opportunity for practical training.

“Thank you for joining us here.”

Director Kim thanked me while still holding the steering wheel.

The government wanted me to join them for this meeting.

The reason is simple. You have to treat irregulars like irregulars.

I don’t know what that Chinese irregular might do so of course I have to be by his side.

Besides we have the advantage in numbers.

“Your Holiness I am deeply moved that you have invited me to such an important occasion. I guess that means you trust me.”

American representative Irregular Raphael is also riding in this car.

In other words the total number of irregulars riding in Director Kim’s car is three.

At this point it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is a walking Earth-destroying switch.

And Director Kim who was driving the bomb that would doom the world also had an extremely pale complexion.

“Our President also expressed his gratitude for Raphael’s help.”

“The strong alliance between the United States and South Korea! How happy I am that I can be a symbol of it. And when it comes to China we can’t stay away from it.”

Raphael smiled jokingly and glanced at me as he spoke.

“By the way when are you going to introduce me to him?”

“Who?”

“I’m talking about the handsome guy next to you. I’m holding my breath and waiting for him.”

The vehicle that Director Kim is driving is a special van that is bulletproof.

Raphael who was sitting in the very back seat looked at me with a smile. Then he quickly sat down next to Ja-hyeon.

“Please tell us your name on the way. My name is Raphael.”

“…This is Cheon Ja-hyeon.”

“Are you a bit shy?”

“No that’s not it… I just feel that way.”

“okay!”

Cheon Ja-hyeon whose rank was quickly sorted out.

You can tell just by looking at Cheon Ja-hyeon’s disgusted expression. Cheon Ja-hyeon’s madness cannot surpass Raphael’s.

“Brother who is this person…?”

“I’m an American Irregular. I’m also a returnee from the world of high technology. I’ll be seeing you often so get along well. Oh and.”

I almost forgot to tell you something important.

“You enjoy doing human experiments so take good care of yourself.”

Cheon Ja-hyeon nodded slightly at my words. Then he blurted out to Raphael.

“I would like to see your skills later.”

A tone of voice completely different from the one directed at me.

The way he spoke was different than when we first met but the fighting spirit in his voice was the same.

But still I guess irregulars are irregulars?

A strong will to not be easily pushed back is evident.

The unmanned is unmanned.

What was surprising was Raphael’s reaction.

“Let’s try it out after work today. I was curious anyway.”

“You’re so cute. Where is it?”

“Well how about the temple?”

“great.”

At those words I could only sigh.

And then he spoke to Director Kim who was driving in front.

“I need to find a place to practice in China.”

“yes?”

“A nuclear bomb is going to explode in South Korea.”

Honestly I wonder who would win if the two fought.

But we can’t have them fight in South Korea so wouldn’t China be a better choice?

If that doesn’t work out we can have them fight on the lost lands.

While the two irregulars were engaging in a war of nerves in a subtle atmosphere the car arrived at the parking lot of the Ability Management Department.

Director Kim stopped the vehicle for a moment and then spoke to us.

“He has arrived. The Chinese envoy is already talking with Minister Yoo Seon-ho in the reception room on the top floor.”

“Minister Yoo Seon-ho aren’t you retiring?”

“Postponed indefinitely.”

“Oh like that.”

“Minister Yoo Seon-ho will be in charge of this meeting. I ask for your cooperation.”

It’s easy to understand why the president doesn’t step forward himself.

It’s not that South Korea is in an urgent situation it’s that China is in an urgent situation.

Because a thirsty person digs a well.

I nodded and then asked Director Kim a question.

“Can I have an accident today?”

Then Director Kim thought for a moment and reluctantly nodded.

“If you think that you are crossing the line too much… then you may do so. However at least within the building…”

“Ah if you’re going to beat him take him outside and beat him?”

“It doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll lose…”

“check.”

You never know.

The Chinese irregular who came as a diplomatic envoy this time is actually a very polite guy so there may not be any need to take care of him.

Of course I think that possibility converges to zero.

Why?

On my way here I already received information about the guy who was dispatched to South Korea as a special envoy.

The name is Sunri.

The second in line among the Transcendent Ones representing the Irregulars of China.

He is an irregular who uses windows and his special trait is that he is good at trickery.

Although it ranks second in the hierarchy it forms the most powerful faction within the Chinese Communist Party.

In short he is a man who is absolutely outrageous when it comes to politics.

If the Chinese government sent such a person as a diplomatic envoy it means that there is something they want to take from us…

I’m already excited.

Let’s see what happens.

“Let’s go in.”

I told Raphael and Cheon Ja-hyeon.

I’m going to have some fun for once.

2.

The top level of the Ability Management Department.

As soon as we reached the top floor it was clear that there were Chinese irregulars here.

The door leading to the meeting room was guarded by two groups of Awakened beings: Awakened beings from the Ability Management Department who were wearing the Taegeukgi and Awakened beings from China who were wearing the Five-Star Red Flag.

“You all must be working hard.”

I waved my hand lightly at them and the Awakened One who was waving the Taegeukgi saluted me.

“You’re here!”

“Can I come in?”

“of course….”

But then the Awakened One of the Five Star Honggis next to me stopped me.

And annoyingly he spat out Chinese.

“Your identity is not confirmed. Wait. I’ll go in and ask…”

“Say it in Korean. I won’t understand. Do you really not know me?”

When you come to Korea it’s polite to speak Korean. What’s the big deal about Chinese if other people can’t understand it?

Just as I was about to get annoyed Ja-Hyeon who was standing behind me slightly cheered me up.

And after a while.

dump.

The Chinese man who had been blocking our path just a moment ago collapsed foaming at the mouth.

I looked at Ja-hyeon at the sudden turn of events. Then Ja-hyeon shrugged her shoulders.

“How dare you block my brother’s path.”

“…okay.”

“Should I restrain myself?”

“No do whatever you want.”

You’re practically stopping me on my own home ground? There’s no more childish war of nerves than this.

I glanced at the Chinese awakened person lying on the floor then leisurely entered the meeting room.

Then I noticed two men talking in the meeting room.

One of them was of course Minister Yoo Seon-ho.

“Minister Yoo Seon-ho did you hire Chinese people for security here?”

I spoke cheerfully and headed to the central table. I sat down next to Minister Yoo Seon-ho and raised the corners of my lips.

“There was a brief unfortunate incident where we hired someone who could speak Korean.”

“Is that so?”

“Language skills are essential for working abroad.”

Following me Cheon Ja-hyeon and Raphael also sat on the chairs.

Minister Yoo Seon-ho exchanged a quick greeting with Raphael and then smiled at Cheon Ja-hyeon.

“I am Yoo Seon-ho the director of the Awakening Personnel Management Department of Cheon Ja-hyeon. I ask for your continued support.”

“Oh yes Minister. I am the one who needs your help.”

I don’t know what the atmosphere was like before we came in but one thing is for sure the atmosphere changed as soon as we came in.

We could tell just by looking at Sun-ri’s expression which was frowning heavily in front of us.

Minister Yoo Seon-ho is not a person who would miss this kind of atmosphere. He said to Sun-ri with a good-natured smile.

“This is Pope Kim Si-woo the irregular pope of South Korea.”

“…I know. There’s no way I wouldn’t know. And next to him is an American Irregular Raphael Awakener.”

“Oh Chinese friend do you know my name? I feel like a big shot. Isn’t that right Pope Kim Si-woo?”

Raphael as always is joking.

Soon-ri’s gaze then turns to Cheon Ja-hyeon.

“But what on earth is that young man? He doesn’t seem like the type of person who would fit into a position like this.”

It looks easy so I’ll give it a try something like that.

Minister Yoo Seon-ho simply smiled and answered the somewhat rude question.

“This is the new irregular of the Republic of Korea Cheon Ja-hyeon.”

“Oh what a coincidence. Who would have thought that a new irregular would appear right at the time we visited South Korea? Hey Minister Yoo Seon-ho isn’t this a really obvious prank?”

It’s a bit rude to cancel.

This is just blatantly rude.

“Mr. Soon Cheon Ja-hyeon is an irregular as far as I can tell.”

As soon as Raphael spoke up the natural order of things responded immediately.

“The US and South Korea are on the same side and we know that there is nothing the US won’t do to pressure us.”

“So should I take your statement to mean that South Korea and the United States are joining forces to deceive China?”

“It means that it cannot be ruled out.”

There is a lot of arrogance in his voice.

I laughed and enjoyed his reaction.

The saying “all bluff” is exactly right.

It’s the kind of person who is good at bluffing who has no substance.

Of course that guy himself will think that there is a reason for his bluff.

It’s not like he’s completely without any skills.

Even though he is the second-highest ranking official in China he is not just a talker.

“older brother.”

Ja-Hyeon who could be said to be the center of this situation looked at me and said.

“What is he saying?”

“You said you came from the Central Plains.”

“Yes it was.”

“But you don’t know Chinese?”

“Isn’t Central Plains Chinese quite different from Mandarin?”

I see.

In fact since the world of Jungwon itself is another world it is not strange that the language is different.

“I’ll clean it up for you.”

“yes.”

“He said you don’t deserve to be here. Why are you even stepping up to do something like that?”

“What a funny kid.”

“Yeah he’s a funny kid.”

Even though his country is burning and he came here to ask for support he is trying to protect his pride until the end.

Was the humiliation suffered during the Northeast Asia Exchange not enough?

“older brother.”

“uh.”

“Could you please convey my message?”

“Do whatever you want.”

Thanks to <The Blessing of Language> I can do simultaneous interpretation at any time.

When I nodded Ja-hyeon smiled at Sun-ri and said.

“If you have any complaints please tell me to come to you.”

“Okay I’ll interpret it well and tell you.”

Even though it looks like this I have some talent as an interpreter.

I nodded and looked at Sunri. Then I smiled brightly and said.

“He told you not to bother him about X-food?”

“Have you ever seen such rude authors!”

Ah that’s cool.

As they say people should live their lives saying what they want to say.

Our Pope please stop this
