[ Special Mission (3) ]

Medieval royal family The interior is luxurious enough to make you think it might be a place you used to live. Dozens of servants came and went, delivering food to long tables.

There was enough food on the table to feed dozens of people.

However, there were only five people sitting around the table.

“…Thank you for the generous hospitality.”

Joo Sang-wook felt aversion to the overly extravagant dinner, but he did not show his feelings on his face.

“It was nothing. I prepared less than usual because I was afraid the guests would feel burdened. “Right, brother?”

Sakura, who had changed into a black yoff shoulder dress, looked at the man sitting next to her and smiled.

He was a very thin and nervous looking man. He wore thick horn-rimmed glasses and was dressed in classy clothes, but somehow he felt more like a clown than a lord.

“Instead, you only prepared expensive ones.”

The man said, cutting the steak with his fingers. His fingers themselves were silver blades.

The man licked a bit of meat and sauce off the blade with his tongue, raised his eyebrows, and pushed the plate to the side.

“Do it again.”

“yes. “My lord.”

As if it was a familiar occurrence, the chamberlain next to the man cleared the plate and had him bring other food.

“Not bad.”

“It’s trash.”

“Who made this?”

The man did not eat more than one bite of any food. With his cold assessment, most of the food went straight to the trash can.

Kiyoshi Hagawa.

He was the lord of Tribe Mandala, which controlled the northern part of Tokyo, and the older brother of Sakura next to him.

Kiyoshi, who had been concentrating on eating for a while, raised his head and looked at the guests. He frowned.

“Why aren’t you eating? Is the food any good? Or maybe I was poisoned?”

A tone of voice mixed with slight displeasure and irritation.

Joo Sang-wook thought while looking at Kiyoshi with a crooked gaze.

‘You’re not the type to be good at social life. This person is the lord of Mandala….’

“Brother. Don’t say things like that. “The customers are nervous.”

Sakura smiled warmly and softened the atmosphere. Then Kiyoshi also nodded.

“okay.”

As Joo Sang-wook expected, the Lord of Mandala was a type of person with very poor social skills.

Sakura was leading the atmosphere at the banquet hall.

“If there is anything you want to eat, just tell me. All of our chefs are from well-known restaurants in Tokyo. “Do you guys want to eat anything?”

Sakura asked Lily and Shin. They both shook their heads – Lily was proud of herself for overcoming such a great temptation.

Joo Sang-wook thought.

‘I understand why she called this place her castle.’

The lord was Kiyoshi, but actual power was held by Sakura.

Even now, the servants were more concerned about Sakura than their lord Kiyoshi. Joo Sang-wook kept that fact in mind.

“Thank you for your consideration. “But I’m not here to eat, so I’ll stop eating.”

When Joo Sang-wook put down the dishes first, Lily and Shin also put down the dishes in that atmosphere. Lily hesitated ever so slightly.

“Kiyoshi-sama.”

To be honest, Joo Sang-wook had no desire to have a long chat with this brother and sister who were into aristocratic play.

So, I went straight to the point I came here for.

“I heard that you conditionally agree to the Korea-Japan military agreement.”

“When you call me, call me lord.”

“I want to hear what the conditions are.”

“Are you ignoring me?”

Kiyoshi raised his voice sharply. At the same time, his blade fingers became slightly longer.

Suddenly.

The plate his fingers were touching was cut off without any resistance.

“Brother. “We can’t force the rules here even on guests from abroad, right?”

Sakura smiled awkwardly and lightened the mood.

“I am a lord!”

“i know. There is no one here who doesn’t know that. So calm down, brother. huh?”

Sakura skillfully consoled and comforted Kiyoshi. Joo Sang-wook clearly caught that sight.

‘With this, it becomes clear who the lord is.’

After a while, Sakura, who succeeded in soothing the adult child, looked back at Joo Sang-wook.

She told all her attendants to leave and then said:

“You seem to have an impatient personality, so let me get to the point. “We will support the military alliance between the Korean government and the Japanese government.”

“…….”

Joo Sang-wook hoped those words came from pure intentions.

Of course, I knew that couldn’t be the case.

“But other lords won’t be like that. “Because they have no intention of giving up any of the power they hold.”

Sakura said with a very worried expression. Her beautiful face was filled with deep sorrow.

‘So you are thinking of giving up your power?’

Instead of asking that question, Joo Sang-wook asked this.

“I’d like to hear your opinions.”

“There will be war soon.”

It was Kiyoshi who said that. He continued speaking with a blunt expression, as if he still did not like Joo Sang-wook.

“Mandala. Musashi. Orochi. Izanami. All four tribes have grown to their limits. “Recently, our areas have overlapped, so it wasn’t strange for an explosion to occur at any time, but you added fuel to the fire when you came.”

Unlike when he whined like a child, his voice was calm.

‘You weren’t stupid.’

Rather, it was the opposite. Kiyoshi was very intelligent. He was so talented in engineering that he was called a genius.

However, the ability to empathize with others was seriously reduced. I was bullied for a long time during my school days and even as an adult.

Before awakening as a superhuman, the only people who treated him warmly were his family.

And now the only family left was his younger sister, Sakura.

That was the reason Kiyoshi still relied on Sakura and the secret to Sakura wielding more power than a lord.

“The war was going to happen anyway. “We have been preparing for a year now.”

Sakura said with a confident expression.

She was confident that she would win the war and unify Tokyo.

‘Of course, the damage will not be small.’

Joo Sang-wook was invited to this event to reduce the damage.

She finally said her real purpose.

“We hope the Korean government will support us. “If you do that, after unifying Tokyo, we will meet the conditions you want as the new government.”

Joo Sang-wook opened his mouth blankly at the unimaginable suggestion.

“yes…?”

So, does this mean that you are asking us to help in the war between organizations that are no different from the Yakuza?

‘What do these people think of the government of the Republic of Korea?’

Although he was moved to tears for a moment, Joo Sang-wook remained calm and did not show any signs of it.

However, Sakura was a woman who was more perceptive than expected.

“Do you think that’s ridiculous?”

“…….”

“Then let me ask you this. Do you think that those currently at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government are qualified to represent the Japanese government?”

“Then you think no?”

Sakura chuckled.

“With the entire Chiyoda-ku disappearing, most of the heads of the Japanese government died. The current Shinjuku government was created by people who were low-level civil servants at the time. In other words, there is no qualification or justification.”

That was the common thought of all the lords.

The real Japanese government disappeared along with Chiyoda-ku three years ago.

Some of the leftovers gathered at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and claimed to be the government.

“The reason the lords left them alone was because they did not want to become a public enemy by claiming that anyone was the first government.”

Joo Sang-wook refuted Kiyoshi’s words without realizing it.

“Or maybe it was because I didn’t have the courage to carry the weight of that name.”

“…As expected, he’s a guy I don’t like.”

Suddenly. A corner of the dinner table was cut off. Sakura told her brother to be patient with her eyes and then looked back at Joo Sang-wook.

“It is a foregone conclusion that war will soon break out between the tribes. And in the end, we will be the final winners.”

“You are confident.”

“Sure. “Of the four tribes, we are the wealthiest and have the most engineers.”

Sakura smiled confidently. Kiyoshi also grinned and supported his sister’s words.

“Coward Takeda barbarian Ryunosuke and idiot Musashi. “Not everyone is a match for me.”

The names of other lords flowed out of Kiyoshi’s mouth one by one. He cut the dessert fruit into dozens of pieces with his fingers.

“…The most annoying one among them all is Musashi, but he will eventually die by my hands.”

Joo Sang-wook couldn’t help but ask.

“May I ask what your next goal is if you win the war?”

Kiyoshi said with his eyes shining.

“I will become the new emperor of Japan.”

“And I will become prime minister.”

“…….”

At that moment, Joo Sang-wook knew one thing for sure.

‘If these siblings take power, Japan will become a dictatorship.’

It won’t be just these people. Joo Sang-wook thought that none of the lords should be allowed to take power.

Of course, on the outside, he did not show such thoughts and showed serious concern.

Sakura asked, studying his expression.

“If the Korean government supports us, the war will end quickly. Hellgate. “Time is running out to prepare for that catastrophe, right?”

That was correct.

However, this does not mean that you agree with the other person.

“I don’t think it’s up to me to decide on my own.”

“I heard that you came with full authority over the alliance.”

“Changing the subject of negotiation itself is something that is far outside of that authority.”

“Think about it carefully. We don’t plan on just receiving it either. You have to give as much as you get. “To Joo Sang-wook personally.”

It was a story about paying a bribe.

“…I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what I just said.”

Joo Sang-wook decided to leave his seat and get up.

But Sakura was persistent.

“I think the kids are tired. “Why don’t we let the kids rest in their rooms and talk more among ourselves?”

“Thank you, but I think we should head back now.”

“Don’t do that. Let’s have a drink and talk. yes?”

Sakura made a coquettish noise and made a coquettish noise.

Joo Sang-wook barely straightened his crumpled eyebrows at that obvious maneuver.

“I will go back and discuss it with my group and then contact you.”

Grumble.

Joo Sang-wook stood up. Lily and Shin followed him to their feet.

“Okay then.”

Joo Sang-wook nodded and turned around. His mind was filled with many thoughts.

‘I’ll have to talk to the landlord’s vice president separately when he gets back.’

He was more wary of Daein than anyone else, but funny enough, the first person that came to mind at moments like this was Daein.

“Wait.”

Sakura hurriedly blocked his path. She said, clinging to Joo Sang-wook’s arm.

“It’s late, so please sleep here today.”

A secret weapon that has never failed in my life.

Sakura experienced failure for the first time today.

“I’m sorry, but I have work to do when I get back.”

Sigh.

Joo Sang-wook naturally removed her arm and lightly pushed her to the side. It was a moment when Sakura’s pride was scratched.

“joy. If you’re going to go, say go. In the end, they lose out.”

Kiyoshi, who was watching this, shouted nervously outside.

“Come in and clean this up quickly!”

The door opened and the servants waiting outside came rushing in.

In order to quickly clear the table, more servants came in than when the food was brought in. Among them were children around the same age as Lily and Shin.

One of them made eye contact with Shin as he was putting away his plate.

“!!”

Eyes wide open in surprise. The boy dropped the plate he was holding on the floor.

Clink!

The sound echoed horribly loudly in the quiet room.

At that moment, Shin’s expression became perplexed, Joo Sang-wook’s expression hardened, and Lily quietly raised her magic power.

And the Lord of Mandala spoke in a low voice.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m sorry!”

The boy, whose expression became pale, knelt on the floor. The boy knelt down in front of Kiyoshi and prayed.

“sorry! Sorry, my lord! please forgive me!”

“It’s annoying.”

The lord stretched out his bladed finger and aimed it at the boy. The tips of his fingers grew longer and pointed toward the boy’s arm.

‘How dare you humiliate me in front of the guests.’

I was planning to cut off one of my arms as punishment.

However, before Kiyoshi’s fingernails could touch, Joo Sang-wook wrapped the child first.

“Please stop. Isn’t it possible for a child to make a mistake?

“Move. “They are the people of my domain.”

“Before that, I was a citizen.”

Joo Sang-wook showed his emotions for the first time. He glared at Kiyoshi with anger.

And Sakura didn’t miss the opportunity.

“What can I do? Normally, my brother would have generously forgiven the child for making a mistake. “It seems like someone is making you feel really bad right now.”

“…….”

“You said you were busy, right? I won’t be seeing you off, so be careful. “We have some business left to do here.”

The boy who broke the plate was still lying on the floor, praying.

“sorry! sorry!”

If Joo Sang-wook turns around and gets out of here, the boy will be harmed in some way.

In the end, Joo Sang-wook made a choice.

“…If you don’t mind, can I sleep here today?”

“Didn’t you say you were busy a little while ago?”

“…….”

Joo Sang-wook was silent and Sakura did not provoke him anymore.

In any case, the Korean government is someone we must consider as an ally.

“Well, if you want it that much.”

Sakura gave Kiyoshi a glance. Kiyoshi withdrew his bladed claws.

Sakura said, crossing her arms around Joo Sang-wook.

“What kind of alcohol do you like?”

If given one night, she was confident that she could melt any man.
