Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[World Conference (1)]

The entire Japanese archipelago A week has already passed

since I defeated the great monster that I thought would destroy me .

[This is a historic moment. The leaders of Korea and Japan met and signed a military alliance and declared that they would build a close cooperative relationship in preparation for the future Hellgate incident.] The

on-site reporter was speaking calmly, but could not completely hide the excitement in his face and voice.

The screen was showing the front of the ‘Korean Embassy in Japan’, which was completed today.

In front of him, President Kim Soo-ho of the Republic of Korea and Prime Minister Matsuda of Japan were shaking hands.

Click, click, click!

To capture this historic moment, reporters from Korea and Japan set off flashlights from all directions and applause erupted from everywhere.

[Then, let’s hear the opinions of military experts about this military alliance.]

After a while, the screen switched to a studio, and people who were military and political experts appeared.

They also looked quite flushed.

[Doctor. There is an opinion among citizens that this military alliance is too generous to Japan. I’m curious what you think.]

[Yes. It is true that the current situation for the Japanese government is difficult. After the First Gate, they experienced the fall of the central government, which resulted in the creation of a unique system called Tribe, similar to how lords governed each province during the Warring States Period…] [In the future, our companies will easily enter the Japanese market through inter-city gates

. […] It will be possible to advance… and new jobs will be created for superhumans… [through military superiority…]]

Like an expert, the host appropriately cut off the longer and longer speech.

[Are you saying that it will ultimately benefit our government?]

[…That’s right. If I explain it in an easy-to-understand way, you will be able to get back dozens of times what you invested in just a few years.]

[Haha… Thank you for the clear explanation.]

The host and the expert talked for a while more, and then the screen changed to the scene again.

Click, click, click!

Suddenly, more flashes erupted than when the leaders of the two countries shook hands.

Because of the four people coming up to the podium.

“Wow!”

“It’s Shinjuku Ranger!”

When Shinjuku Ranger Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green appeared, huge cheers poured out at the scene.

They came up to the stage in full combat uniforms and masks (the government requested this).

[You are the heroes who saved the country. I am only sorry that I can only give such a small medal right now.]

The Prime Minister called each Shinjuku Ranger by name, personally awarded them a medal, and shook their hands.

“Children. “My wish has been fulfilled.”

The man was lying sideways on the sofa and watching the scene on TV.

The great man reached forward, picked up some popcorn, and ate it. In front of him, Lily was sitting on the floor, hugging a bucket of popcorn the size of her body and eating a handful at a time.

Lily looked enviously at Shin receiving the medal.

To be exact, I wasn’t jealous of the medal.

“I wanted to be the Pink Ranger too, but…”

“Young kid, I said I couldn’t do it because your identity would be revealed too easily.”

A little girl with flame powers.

Isn’t it too easy to narrow down the suspects?

At those words, Lily opened her eyes and glared at the great man.

“He’s just playing ranger, shamefully.”

The great man huffed and snorted.

“It’s not play, it’s work, right? And no one knew I was black.”

Of course, some among Lily and the New Koreans knew Black’s identity.

However, the Shinjuku Ranger original (three primary colors) members and Japanese superhumans still regarded Black as a ‘warrior from another world’.

At that moment, Red was mentioning Black in front of the microphone.

[…Even though he is not here, I would like to say thank you to Black, who is our teacher and warned us of the apocalypse. If we hadn’t met Black, we probably would have been…. Ugh….]

“Wow. “It’s cringy.”

Ding-.

It made me cringe to keep listening, so I pressed the mute button.

Just then, someone came into the room.

“Vice President. “You are here.”

Joo Sang-wook placed a thick folder on the table in front of the sofa.

“What’s going on here? “What is this again?”

When Daein asked with a puzzled expression, Joo Sang-wook looked at him with a slightly complicated expression and said,

“These are documents related to the establishment of the White House Japan branch. “I wanted you to check it out.”

When I looked again, I saw that it was written on the file.

“hmm? “Why are you giving me these things when you can just give them to Young-hee?”

Joo Sang-wook also knew that Dae-in didn’t like looking at documents like this.

Nevertheless, the reason I came was because I needed an excuse to visit Daein.

“…Are you really okay like this?”

“yes? “What else?”

Joo Sang-wook sighed softly. He somehow seemed a little angry.

“It’s okay to spread the word that the Shinjuku Rangers hunted monsters. Although it may not be true, Japan now needs a symbol to bring the country together. But why isn’t the Vice President even called by name over there?”

Joo Sang-wook pointed to the TV screen.

Most of Korea’s famous superhumans who had helped hunt down the monster a week ago, including the WH-7 team, were there.

Among the people who fought the monster that day, Daein and Lily were the only ones not there.

‘The two people who played the biggest roles…’

were lounging around on the sofa like unemployed people.

“I don’t understand. As for the Black incident, why did he go to such lengths to hide himself?…”

Joo Sang-wook later found out that the Black Ranger was a great person.

‘Why is this person…’

It was no exaggeration to say that the Black Ranger saved Japan from destruction a week ago.

If Daein had revealed his identity to the Japanese, he would have been treated as a hero for saving the country, even if he was an alien and not a Korean.

But why does the landlord try to hide his identity until the end?

‘Are they trying to quietly take over the world behind the scenes? He looks too lazy to say that…’

No matter how you look at him lying sideways on the sofa, eating popcorn and watching TV, he looks more like an unemployed man than a black man trying to rule the world.

Joo Sang-wook narrowed his eyes and looked at Daein.

Is this also acting?…

“It’s annoying. I don’t like being seen in a crowd of people, and honestly, it’s a bit embarrassing. A grown man used to be a ranger and all, but… How can I confess that I was the one who said I was a warrior from another world?…”

Joo Sang-wook snorted.

To an ordinary person, this would be a pretty convincing argument, but to a landlord, it was clearly a lie.

Because,

“That person used the pseudonym Himura Kenshin?”

“…What about people? You may become impulsive for a moment! How do you always live calmly? uh? “Why are you so clean!”

“Hmm…”

Joo Sang-wook suspected that even the sight of him crying might be an act.

Daein, tired of being tormented, sighed and said.

“But Team Leader Joo. “Aren’t you busy?”

It was said in the hope that he would go away now, but Joo Sang-wook confidently shook his head.

“I’m not very busy today.”

“I am so sorry.”

Additionally, Joo Sang-wook had the personality of asking questions that others were reluctant to ask.

“What is the conversation you said you had with the Demon King a week ago?”

“…….”

“…….”

At that moment, the expressions of not only Daein but also Lily, who was watching the two men with interest while eating popcorn, hardened.

“…I guess there was something there?”

After defeating the Great Monster Abaddon a week ago.

Daein talked for a few minutes with ‘Basago’, one of the demon lords.

No one else could hear the conversation. Because Vassago’s voice was only heard by adults.

But what happened after that conversation was watched by everyone present.

‘This man, who is normally very carefree, couldn’t control his anger and did something to the point of shattering the monster’s face…’

Joo Sang-wook looked at the man, remembering the story he heard later.

“If there is a serious problem, it is a good idea to discuss it with someone else.”

The great man scratched his head. He must have remembered that time and smiled awkwardly.

“Well, it’s a bit complicated to explain, but it’s a personal matter…”

“I understand. “I won’t ask any more questions.”

“…what. But are you giving up already? “Didn’t you come here to dig up that?”

When Daein looked at him with an expression of ‘What on earth are you?’, Joo Sang-wook responded with a blunt expression.

“Even if I ask you any more, you won’t tell me. “Even though I haven’t figured out the vice president’s true identity yet, I have that level of insight.”

“…….”

“What is important is that the military alliance with Japan was successfully concluded. And we need to form alliances with more countries in the future.”

Japan was now almost unified.

Ironically, the great monster that appeared a week ago played a decisive role in raising awareness of Hell Gate throughout Japan.

The height of Mount Fuji was reduced by half, and the area where the battle took place was completely devastated.

There was no further warning.

“It was also effective to circle the whole of Japan on the Flying Demon King.”

As soon as they saw the flying aerial battleship, the lords of the local tribes raised the white flag without even asking.

[…A statue of all Shinjuku Rangers is scheduled to be installed in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. In the center is the Black Ranger…]

The event was almost over on TV.

At that time, the great man suddenly became curious and asked.

“Oh, what happened to the kids who played lords in Tokyo?”

“Except for the Lord of Orochi, whose whereabouts are unknown, everyone has joined the military.”

The government forced the superhumans who ruled Tokyo into the east, west, south, and north to join the military, telling them to pay for the crimes they had committed on the battlefield.

Because their skills were not worth killing or imprisoning.

‘If you select only martial arts well and teach them, they will all grow to S-class.’

All future plans were left to Genji.

When Hell Gate is over, they will all become superhumans belonging to the White House Japanese branch.

“Once you survive, that is.”

The great man got up from the sofa.

I finished all my work in Japan over the past week.

The body of the monster Abaddon was carefully dismantled and all sent to Korea. In consultation with the teacher, the martial arts and martial techniques to be passed down to Japan were decided.

‘The gate between cities has now been completely stabilized…’

There was no longer any reason for him to be here.

Daein chuckled as he looked at the Shinjuku Ranger on the TV screen.

‘Ranger play. Even though it was childish, it was fun.’

“I guess I’ll have to go somewhere else soon.”

“Are you going to stop by Korea?”

Daein shook his head in response to Joo Sang-wook’s question.

“no. “I want to finish traveling around the world first.”

“huh! “I want to go to other countries too!”

Lily also agreed.

***

7 months later. Over LA, USA.

Jiiiiiiing!

With a strong gate reaction, the sky split in half and something huge slowly emerged from within.

“gate?”

“The sky…”

The citizens of LA looked up at the sky in surprise at the huge shadow that suddenly appeared above their heads.

But they were soon relieved.

“Phew….”

“That’s right. “Today is the day, right?”

Citizens looked at the sky in wonder. An aerial battleship that most people had only heard of through rumors was floating there.

Kugugugugugung-!

It is so overwhelmingly large that it can be considered an island.

The armor, which was said to have been reinforced with the bones and skin of some monster, was black to absorb light, and the five main guns and dozens of types of auxiliary weapons visible on the front boasted an incredibly intimidating appearance.

“The Flying Demon King, right?”

“But isn’t the name too childish?”

Whatever the name,

today was the day when a world conference to prepare for a catastrophe was held there.
