Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 109
—————————————
[Run away from home incident]
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A large gate opened in the sky above Jongno-gu, Seoul.
Normally, this would have been a situation where a quick evacuation would have been possible. But today, a lot of people gathered underneath it.
“It has begun!”
“Is it true that the king is coming?”
Murmur.
Not only the police and superhumans, but also ordinary citizens had gathered outside the barricade.
click! Click click!
Flashes exploding from all directions.
“Get out of the way! “Take some pictures!”
Reporters pushed the police to record the historical moment from a little closer, and the police maintained their ranks, sweating.
Reporters from broadcasting stations were competing to broadcast the scene live.
“This is in front of the Blue House in Jongno-gu, Seoul. In a moment we will meet the king of a race from another dimension!”
“You can see the excitement of citizens waiting to share this historic moment everywhere.”
“If I were to tell you about the characteristics of the Low Low race that are known so far, they have green skin…”
“President Kim Su-ho is on site to personally welcome the king of the Low Low race.”
Where most cameras were focused, President Kim Soo-ho was walking to the gate with the First Lady.
Giant Kim Soo-ho.
One of the most powerful [First Awakened] and the guardian deity of Korea.
His majestic appearance seemed worthy of welcoming a king from another dimension.
One step behind the President and First Lady was Abraxas, neatly dressed. She played the role of an interpreter, and her pointed ears were changed to human-like through magic.
Nevertheless, the attention paid to the beautiful interpreter was enormous. On the Internet, the comment section was flooded with stories about her.
“Dear viewers! “Something is finally coming out of the gate!”
With the reporter’s excited voice, something sharp began to come out of the gate.
Googoo googong!
It was a structure in the shape of an inverted pyramid.
It was nearly 300 meters long and slowly descended to the ground, as if trying not to appear threatening.
A fog so faint that you could not see it unless you looked closely was surrounding the pyramid.
“It is the King’s Rubelon.”
Kiri spoke next to me with an emotional expression on her face.
And after a while, the center of Rubellon opened and a staircase came down from there.
Coo!
It was when the stairs reached the ground that the king of the Rorlow race appeared.
Kiri was next to me, so I just expressed my feelings to myself.
‘Old, wilted broccoli.’
Other than that difference, it was difficult to distinguish between the king and Kiri. That’s how similar they looked.
Citizens who saw the Rorlow race for the first time made a fuss.
“It’s real! “It’s an alien!”
“Shh! Be careful what you say. “It should be said that he is from another world.”
“Green or green.”
The amazed citizens soon welcomed the king of the Lolow tribe with applause. King Lorow, who had learned Earth’s manners in advance, waved his hand lightly at the people.
After a while, President Kim Su-ho and the king of the Loro tribe met and shook hands. Because the height difference was more than 50cm, King Lorow had to stand on a pre-prepared platform.
Click, click, click!
With numerous flashes exploding, President Kim Soo-ho looked at the camera and opened his mouth.
“After First Gate, we have survived until now thanks to the sacrifices and efforts of many people. And now we are creating another page of history.”
The President looked around at the people gathered in one place and continued speaking.
“The fact that there are not only monsters beyond the gate but also intelligent life forms that can communicate with us is a story that Aximus, the great sage of the Gaia continent, has already told us.
When the name of Great Sage Aximus was mentioned, the citizens cheered.
Wow!
A wise man from another world who predicted disaster in advance.
The assessment of many experts was that the city was able to avoid destruction thanks to Aximus.
When I remembered that evaluation, I chuckled.
“Well, legends tend to be glorified.”
Perhaps among the legends I know, there are many that have been glorified in that way.
President Kim Su-ho’s speech continued.
“That is why today’s meeting with the Rorlow race has great meaning. We will continue to meet, interact, and develop with various races, and today will be a historic first step.”
Cheers and applause erupted from the people.
As it slowly subsided, this time the king of the Rorlow race opened his mouth.
“People of Earth. “Thank you for welcoming us who lost our hometown.”
Abraxas was the interpreter next to him.
I thought it would be fun to just cast a translation spell.
King Lorow’s next words were similar to what President Kim Soo-ho said.
thanks. I’m counting on you. Let’s achieve mutual development by exchanging each other’s cultures and technologies, etc.
The gathered citizens listened to King Lorow’s words with favorable eyes, and I quite liked the sight.
“You can rest assured at this level.”
I didn’t think there was any need to watch TV anymore.
Ding-.
When I turned off the TV, Kiri, who was watching next to me, asked with a puzzled expression.
“Are you not going to watch any more?”
“This is the part where it gets really boring.”
After a while, the leaders of the two countries will move to the meeting room, and until the results of the meeting are announced, the broadcast will pour out all kinds of predictions and speculations.
“Political experts will talk for an hour just about the color of your shoes. Why are the shoes red? “Isn’t there a hidden ambition to spill blood on the Earth?”
“no way. No way…”
It was a bit of an exaggeration, but it was true that the broadcast would be meaningless and empty for the next few hours.
Moreover, I knew the outcome of the meeting in advance.
I made the two races meet, and the behind-the-scenes negotiations were already completed two weeks ago.
What is currently appearing on TV was a show to reassure the public. In fact, most of the Rorlow race had come to Earth about a month ago.
Right here where I am.
As I came out of the temporary barracks, Kiri followed behind me.
“Is the construction going well?”
“yes! Currently, more than 80% of temporary residences have been completed. “We also have our own defense facilities.”
When I came out, it felt like I was in a broccoli field. Green races were busy everywhere.
“Great man!”
“Great man!”
Every broccoli I came across bowed its head to me and passed by.
They said he was the benefactor of the tribe, but at first he greeted them individually, but now he was so annoyed that he just nodded.
-Kugugu goong!
-Kugugu goong!
As I looked far away, I saw several Sisyphus Rocks – the name Rubelon had not yet been added – rolling around the outskirts of the city.
“They work hard.”
In this place, which until a few weeks ago was a barren land outside the restricted area, buildings resembling the simple shapes characteristic of the Lolow people were erected here and there.
Circle, square, cone, pyramid, inverted pyramid, etc.
Another world that exists on Earth.
[Rolow Autonomous District] was being created.
“This much in just one month… I guess your technical skills are outstanding.”
“lol.”
Kiri scratched her head as if it felt good to be praised.
I continued walking, looking around the city.
In fact, considering the size of the Mali autonomous district with only 3,000 people, it was like a small town.
However, the area was quite large considering the population size.
‘This is all an investment for the future.’
Right now, it is only an autonomous region inhabited by the Rorou tribe, but over time, humans and races from other dimensions will also come here.
The hot place of the future is right here!
And this is all my land.
Smirk.
Kiri may have laughed too openly, but he stiffened and took a step back. … The child is secretly upset.
“manager!”
“older brother!”
When I turned my head at the familiar voice, Wang Guho and Shirutdeok, both shirtless, walked up.
The two large bodies were becoming more and more muscular, and their bodies were drenched in sweat.
“Aren’t you even cold?”
“It was hot while helping these guys with their work…”
Sirutteok scratched the back of his head with the new prosthetic hand on his right arm and smiled kindly. The prosthetic hand, made of the scales of the Ancient Serpent and the highly elastic material of the Tentacle, had a subtle silver color.
Besides, my body has improved considerably. If this is enough….
“Brother tongue. “Why are you exposing my body like that?”
She raised her arms and covered her thick chest as if she was embarrassed. Then, the bulky trapezius muscles and triceps were emphasized.
“not a big deal.”
Over the past month, the two hunks have helped the Lolow tribe settle here.
His role was to subdue monsters around him and teach him about the Earth. I did it because I told them to, but it seemed like I had become friends with them.
If there were a popular vote among the people of this town, these two would probably be chosen 3rd and 4th.
Of course, the first one is me. maybe?
“okay. Then keep helping. “I have to go look at the house.”
“Yes!”
Leaving behind the two loud voices, I headed toward the center of the autonomous district.
In the center of the city, a modern building was being built that did not fit in with the unique surrounding landscape.
So far, only basic construction has begun on a site measuring several thousand pyeong.
But I had no intention of urging him to build it quickly.
“You can build my house slowly. Instead, perfectly. know?”
“Yes…”
Kiri answered, sweat breaking out. I tapped his shoulder and told him not to feel pressured.
To be honest, I wasn’t in a hurry to get home.
The guild accommodation we are currently using is as comfortable as a hotel.
Actually, the reason I came here wasn’t because of home.
I said, lowering my voice.
“Something more important than home comes first.”
After my house was built, there was a container building on one side of the site that had no windows and was completely blocked from the outside world.
We went inside the building. The heavy door behind my back boomed! It closed with a sound.
“When do you think it will be completed?”
Where my eyes were directed, there were five huge metal pillars several meters high standing in a circle.
Crackling! Hit it! Cheesy!
There were blue letters engraved on the pillars, and the letters were glowing and energy was flowing between the pillars.
Most of the magic stones and artifacts I brought from the continent of Gaia were used to make that pillar.
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
Through that gap, all kinds of gates opened and closed repeatedly. Every second, dozens of gates flickered, repeatedly creating and disappearing.
[Dimension Terminal]
The official name is ‘Dimension Terminal’, but all Korean superhumans called it Dimension Terminal and later just called it ‘Terminal’.
It was originally the culmination of dimensional transfer technology that was completed after about 15 years of accumulation of magic and scientific technology from various dimensions.
It was before my eyes now.
‘It was a stroke of luck that I met a race with dimensional travel technology.’
The technological prowess of the Rorlow race that can open dimensional gaps.
Abraxas’ unrivaled knowledge of magic.
A huge amount of magic stones and artifacts I brought from the continent of Gaia.
Here is my advice as someone who has experience using dimensional terminals in the future.
With all of that coming together, I was able to bring the future forward 15 years to today.
Although it is still unfinished.
“I think it will take several more months before it can be used stably.”
How many months?
I nodded. In a few months, I will be able to travel freely between the Gaia continent and Wulin.
…Oh, I think it would be better to go to Moorim a little early.
Before anything happened there.
“If I knew the coordinates, wouldn’t I be able to go a little faster?”
I know the coordinates of Murim. Because it is the place I visited the most, along with the continent of Gaia.
When I told him the coordinates, Kiri calculated something for a moment and then said.
“I think it will be possible if we limit our preparations to that area. Still, it will take a month to prepare.”
One month later. I thought I would be able to get there before something happens in Moorim by then.
“Then let me ask you a favor. And you know…”
I said, putting my index finger to my lips.
“The existence of the terminal has been a secret for some time.”
Kiri nodded with a heavy expression.
“of course.”
Since he was a guy who had crossed dimensions himself, there was no way he didn’t know the danger.
There were literally endless things that could be done using the dimensional terminal. There may
be large-scale trade between multiple dimensions,
important technology from other dimensions may be stolen, and
villains who have committed heinous crimes may travel across dimensions.
“…The most terrible thing is war.”
For tyrants who are not satisfied with ruling their own dimension, it is like a ticket to a buffet.
Actually I knew of such a case.
A key that can advance or destroy humanity depending on how it is used.
So, for now, I plan to hold on to it.
Just use it appropriately as needed.
“Then let’s go out.”
By the time we finished talking and left the building, several hours had already passed.
“Mister~!”
The person who came in second place in the Rorrow popularity poll – who is not actually an Earth person – flew to me.
The little boy looked very flushed, as if he had something to say.
“There you are! “So soft-!”
The little boy was wearing a yellow rice cake coat and a large ribbon of the same color on his head.
He had red mittens on his hands, and with both arms he was hugging a serpent egg that had grown larger than a month ago.
How uneasy is that?
“What if it flies so fast and drops…”
Sure enough. The serpent egg slipped out of the kid’s hand and fell to the floor.
“no! Soft!”
It was almost at the same time that the little boy screamed and I caught the serpent egg using a heterogeneous ring.
“Whew…”
A star twinkled on the top of the kid’s head as he sighed in relief.
Sigh!
The little boy holding his head looked up at me with a tearful look on his face.
“It hurts…”
I sighed, looking at the little boy.
“I told you to be careful. “What happened to Malang?”
Then, as if he remembered it again, the little boy made a fuss and said.
“The softie is moving! “Touch it!”
I’ve already been holding it since a while ago. Just as the kid said, the serpent egg was vibrating little by little inside.
I answered indifferently.
“It looks like it’s time to hatch.”
“Did you also bring this to wear when the baby is born?”
The little boy took out various miscellaneous items from his coat pocket and showed them off to me.
A pink ribbon that is a different color from your own, clothes to wear for the baby serpent, a baby bottle, and even socks.
“Why would you use socks on a snake?”
The little boy insisted that if he didn’t have feet, he could put them on his tail. I nodded roughly, telling him to take care of it.
The little boy asked with a puzzled expression.
“Aren’t you excited? “Will a little girl be born soon?”
“It’s exciting. “It’s just a hassle to raise them.”
“…okay?”
The little boy looked at me with a slightly sullen expression and then turned his head. The gaze was directed towards the house where the foundation work had been completed.
The little boy’s eyes became bright again.
“I hope they build our house quickly. I wish my room was on the second floor. “A bed, a box of snacks, and a fish tank to keep the little ones…”
I looked at the little boy who was laughing and chattering away.
If I left it as is, I would talk endlessly about what I wanted the house to look like and what I wanted to have in it.
I felt like I wanted to make fun of him for no reason.
“Why is that ‘our house’? It’s my house. “Who gave you the room?”
At that moment, the little boy puffed out his cheeks and shouted. It’s my first time seeing him so angry.
“Adults don’t do that in a petty way!”
“…Why are you screaming? why are you like this. “Didn’t you eat lunch?”
The little boy raised the corners of his eyes fiercely. And he said with a grin.
“You think I’m a glutton!”
“no?”
“idiot!”
“what? “You come here.”
The call from the CEO came after I put the kid in a headlock and the kid almost burned my head with a flame.
Jiyiing.
“A brief truce.”
After letting go of the little boy, I took my phone out of my pocket and said,
“Just wait and see. … yes. CEO.”
“joy!”
The little boy carried the soft cat and flew away. I clicked my tongue and looked behind him.
I didn’t know until then.
That the little boy would just run away from home.
