The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Because of the recorder Sungjin handed over, the drinking party instantly became a political forum.

How will you deal with Japan in the future?

How to deal with villains in Japan?

Discussions continued on how to counter their attack this time.

It was only when the day was almost over that I was able to plan properly and go home.

"Huh, I'm tired."

As soon as Sungjin got home, he threw himself on the bed.

In the first place, he was not very fit for politics.

The experience he has accumulated is close to manual labor fighting monsters and villains as a hunter.

He now knew very little about the circumstances of each country.

'Still, the harvest was enough.'

Although it was slightly different from the original plan, it was sufficient.

As expected, Kim Gak-hwan had a conversation with Park Jin-ah, who had been tamed, and remembered her voice.

So he accepted most of the words from the recorder.

Lenin, too, had the mood and was half-trustworthy.

Of course, personal closeness also played a big role.

'I'm really glad I bought a recorder.'

Although others do not know Park Jin-ah's voice, they will not be able to convince others with this recorder.

But that was enough.

One is Korea's strongest hunter, Kim Gak-hwan, who is very jealous of villains.

In Korea, his position could never be ignored.

It's not just about individual powerlessness.

He first holds a large post as Chief of Police.

The weight of this position came very frightening to other hunters.

It was only natural that once he identified as a villain, he could become a villain.

It was also impossible to dismiss his post in the country.

Now the Awakened cops are all following him.

If the political board strangely turned and fired him, the Awakened policemen all resigned and showed loyalty enough to follow him.

Kim Gak-hwan was the only one with Grade A, but it was the Awakened Police who overflowed with Grade B.

Perhaps if you lead them and create a Hunter Guild, their influence will be greater than that of Argonaut.

Of course, if it was Kim Gak-hwan, he would go out and catch a villain even after forming a guild.

The second is Vladimir Lenin.

His influence cannot be underestimated.

The Vladimir Guild to which he belonged was able to give strong breath to the country.

In the beginning, the guild itself could be regarded as the property of the state.

He was a Bugilma there and a general of the country.

Perhaps what he says when he goes back will have a big ripple effect.

Even if it was not, Russia was provocative by launching a patrol plane due to friction with Japan.

However, he could not imagine how he would react when he found out that the home of the Siberian League of Villains was Japan.

'I told you to take it slow, so it'll be fine.'

Hopefully it won't go to war.

Now, Japan is much closer to the US than Korea.

Japan's spread-type diplomacy.

When I was so immersed in contemplation, Kim Gak-hwan spoke to me.

"You look pretty tired. Are you going to sleep without washing?"

He took a can of beer from the refrigerator and threw it away, and Sungjin took it.

Initially, this was his home.

Recently, Seongjin's house was destroyed by villains, so we decided to tie it up for one day.

"Didn't you say you don't like alcohol?"

"Is beer alcohol?"

“What kind of alcohol did you have at the party?”

"Lenin, didn't he say it was water?"

Hearing that, Sungjin laughed and drank the can.

I felt like my head, which had been hurting by talking about politics, was getting a little clearer.

"So are you going to wash up?"

"Today I just sleep and wash up tomorrow morning. I'm tired of washing because I'm in the sauna every day."

"Then I'll have to wash tomorrow too."

Kim Gak-hwan said so and lay down next to Seong-jin.

'I don't think this is it.'

I felt something was wrong with the composition, so I woke up.

Since it's a double bed, it won't be inconvenient for two people to sleep, but isn't there something called the atmosphere?

In terms of color, it's pink or red.

"Why are you ashamed?"

"Aren't there any other beds?"

“There is, but I want to talk and sleep.”

Kim Gak-hwan said while lying down, turning his head to look at him.

It was a kind, burdensome gaze.

It was hard to refuse.

“Let’s listen to everything and go to bed separately.”

"Haha. Yes, thank you."

Sungjin turned off the lights in the room.

And he turned on the light next to the bed to keep it small.

Of course he didn't lie down.

"You're a friend with a lot of atmosphere."

"I'd appreciate it if you told me that you read the atmosphere well."

"Ah, I guess you don't know how to read the atmosphere?"

Kim Gak-hwan suddenly handed the picture.

Two family photos.

One has Kim Gak-hwan, who is slightly younger than the present, and the other is probably a young child.

"What is this?"

"What? It's our family photo. One is with my parents and younger brother when we were young, and the other is with our kids after we got married."

"Are you proud?"

"Boast?"

Kim Gak-hwan said with a smirk.

"Can you say that you are proud of a portrait photo?"

“….”

Young's photo.

He said a picture of a dead person was taken.

'And I saw... .'

When I looked around the house, it was a very large room.

There was also a children's room and toys.

There was a fancy dressing table that didn't match, and the bed was a double size.

By the way.

Even though it was late at night, I thought it was strange that no one else had come, but that he died.

"Sorry."

"Oh, it's okay. It's my fault for not being able to explain. I don't care."

After apologizing, he waved his hand as if he didn't really care.

And he drank the beer he brought, he said.

“So it was a few years ago, when I became the head of the family and my child was five, so three or five years? Anyway, that was then. I was an ordinary police officer back then. Nothing really happened to me. It was just ordinary days.”

“….”

"That day, too, after work, and on the way home from work, my boss suddenly wants me to drink and go in. As you know, it's hard to avoid drinking when you're at work, isn't it? This is also a daily routine.

"It was the day I had to go in quickly."

"Yeah. But, because I'm a disobedient person, I ignored that and went for a drink. A close boss recommended it. So, after finishing the second and third classes, I went home at dawn..."

He took another sip of his drink and continued.

“When I got home, there was no home.”

“….”

"The house is all burnt up, there are a lot of missed messages on the phone I saw later, and everyone around me is screaming why I'm here... I really have a million thoughts."

I had nothing to say.

This is the first I've heard of this story.

I thought we became close before Return, but I've never heard of such a thing.

"Am I still a cop? I'm a rotten son, and even though my father was a cop, I'm still a cop. I was able to understand the situation well, but these villains were the problem?"

"Villain..."

"Yeah. The villainous cancer mass of that society set our house on fire. Why? It's just. Damn."

Kang! Kim Gak-hwan threw a can of beer that was not finished now.

"I've been thinking about it every time since then. The meaningless thoughts of what I would have been like if I hadn't drank, so I'd have gone home sooner."

“…not being Awakened doesn’t make any sense, isn’t it?”

"It made me think about it even if it didn't make any sense. I thought I should have died with you."

"Did you catch the culprit?"

"I put him in. No, he killed him. As soon as he was Awakened, he became an Awakened cop and chased him right away. He was only a D-Class villain."

Kim Gak-hwan got up from the bed.

"After that, I started to hate alcohol. Every time I drink, I think of this memory. Conversely, I drink every time I beat a villain. I don't want to forget it. Is it the opposite of other people?"

Kim Gak-hwan said so and took the picture he had given to Seong-jin back.

and put it back in its original place.

"At first, I'm doing this for revenge, and now I'm working so I don't make people like me. First of all, you said? You were involved with villains."

"It was."

"So, what have you lost to them?"

Sungjin realized that he had a solid misunderstanding.

Back then, the villains were just chasing them.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

They aimed at my father, but he defended them well.

So there was no such feeling at the time.

However.

' If it was the Villain Alliance that caused the end before Return... .'

The story is vastly different.

Sungjin took a deep breath and answered.

"Everything is lost."

"Everything, everything. Haha. That's right. We seem to get along well…yes."

dump. Kim Gak-hwan lay on the bed as if he had collapsed.

Sungjin looked at him and got up from the bed and covered him with a blanket.

And he thought.

his former appearance.

The figure before Return, where he always had alcohol in his mouth.

The figure he was drinking today.

'No masochist, damn it.'

Every time I drink it, I think of painful memories.

Isn't it usually the other way around?

I got up and looked around.

The appearance of this house now was never that of the house where he lived alone.

The original house was all burned down, so I bought it again.

It was rebuilt in the shape of the original house.

The guilt of not being able to protect his family still remains in his heart.

' I didn't know anything about him before Return.'

At that time, he drank often together, so I thought they were close, but he was mistaken on his own.

But now that he has heard his true intentions, it can be said that he has gone much further than before.

Seong-jin went out to the veranda as it was and drank the beer he couldn't drink because he listened to Kim Gak-hwan.

"...it's terribly tasteless."

Sungjin spit and spit and poured alcohol.

There's no other drink that doesn't taste as good as a steamed beer.

Well, I don't think that's the reason why it doesn't taste good.

Looking back, I saw Kim Gak-hwan sleeping, reflected in the mirror.

He vowed never to drink alcohol with Kim Gak-hwan from next time onwards.

Just once, except for the celebratory drink to commemorate the eradication of villains.
