Gacha Game Female Characters Become Obsessed with Me

Chapter 85 - Every Man Has Dreams and Aspirations



Even though I’m a liberal arts person.

Watching the heroes often made me wonder how the physical laws of this world worked.

There were times when my ribs would be dislocated by Yohena’s shy, bashful punch.

And times when my head was directly hit by the hammer wielded by Saha, the bikini warrior fully immersed in battle, yet I felt no pain at all.

It seems to depend on whether we’re in combat or non-combat state.

But still.

Pupupeng—!

Kwajijik—!

“Kyaruk, kyaruruk!”

No matter how much they’ve been through.

Now even Neb was joining in, throwing bombs, and despite being in what seemed like the blast radius, not even a scratch appeared on Lumi’s body.

Even bombs that have left the hand can distinguish between friend and foe in this strict world…!

Well, if you ask whether I like it or not.

It’s advantageous to me, so I like it.

“Ark? Over there, the robots are preparing to get up.”

“That can’t happen.”

Cannot lose.

Although my motivation dropped significantly after experiencing the password 7107887, I was once renowned as a super-high-school-level baseball catcher.

I fully demonstrated my skills of unleashing 100 km/h fastballs and threw the second EMP bomb.

Once again, with pajik-pajik, an intense magnetic field visible to the naked eye, the Special Guard robot friends stopped operating, and with kwajik-kwajik, Lumi crumpled them easily.

An easy victory.

Of course, it wasn’t completely without resistance.

“Above! They’re dropping from above!”

“Special forces, secure the rooftop!”

As the saying goes, a crane among chickens, wouldn’t there be at least one general leading the numerous mecha-Special Guards?

Eventually, a general wearing armor majestically demonstrated his lightness skill, tadat, tat, tat, tat, and showed his face in front of us.

“Ohoho.”

As soon as Elise smiled and winked.

“Huaaa! Sir! I’m coming to your siiiiide—!”

It’s not for nothing that I only brought Lumi as a physical dealer.

If you secure the terrain well, you can defeat the enemy general with CC!

After easily tricking general-level friends into becoming prisoners in a similar way, and turning the Special Guards into scrap metal.

Upon confirming Team 2’s victory report, I finally let out the sigh I had been holding.

For now.

It seems like I’ve neatly fastened up to the second button.

After that, it was truly an unstoppable momentum.

24th Floor, Zone 10—

At the entrance to Geunjeong Hall, which Cheok Jun-kyung should have been guarding originally.

The abominable dinosaur kid who previously tried to set fire to my lovely Guild House.

Gong Yong-wan showed his pathetic face.

“Kruk, Th-The Imperial Princess, is it possible even now—”

“There is no mercy.”

“Kreuruk…!”

We don’t negotiate with terrorists.

Who said that again?

It must have been a wonderful German man with extremely strong leadership.

…Surely it couldn’t have been that mustached man who failed art school.

Anyway, after easily subduing him.

We finally entered the center of the imperial palace.

However.

“Huh…”

The Emperor and his gang of power holders had already escaped the palace.

I knew this, but Dan Minha couldn’t hide her bewildered expression.

“No matter how much my imperial mother has lost her wisdom, to think she would abandon the palace…”

I wondered if that was really so surprising.

Joseon, which could be considered the distant future equivalent of the Great Imperial Empire, had many great kings.

King Seonjo, the fastest monarch, who boasted unpredictable mobility with land-contracting arts, humiliating and ravaging the Japanese army.

King Injo, who didn’t inherit the speed gene but preserved the national identity with flexible waist movements—the yoga monarch.

And all the way to King Gojong, the blinking monarch, who fully demonstrated the bloodline of swift monarchs passed down through several collateral generations, teleporting to the Russian embassy in an instant.

One could say that it’s a virtue of a monarch to read the general trend clearly and respond appropriately.

In that sense, the Emperor gets 100 points.

“Ark, please stop making strange noises next to me…”

“Myeng…?”

The heroes’ expressions were quite strange after hearing my softly whispered theory, but I was confident.

Isn’t it natural to feel pride in your homeland’s history?

Anyway, that aside.

I gulped down stamina recovery potion without hesitation.

We must not drop the ball.

What if, after dragging this out for another day, Cheok Jun-kyung suddenly cosplays as a loyal retainer of all ages and rejoins the Emperor’s side?

What about my gold coins that flew away?

“Let’s pursue them.”

“Even if we pursue, we need to know where they went—”

“There’s only one place they could go.”

It’s not for nothing that I just recalled the famous scenes of monarchs.

The Great Imperial Empire is cyber(punk) Joseon.

The proper famous place boasting the original history and tradition would be Ganghwa Island.

But lizards hate water.

Naturally, the place suitable for the final battle is—

“Namhwansan Fortress.”

Immediately after the news that the Office of the Inspector General had been captured and Cheok Jun-kyung had declared neutrality was delivered.

The lizards’ movements were very swift.

With even the Special Guard forces of the Capital Defense Command, the closest troops that could be mobilized, annihilated, continuing to hold out in the palace would still leave them at a disadvantage.

So they decided on a strategic retreat.

The imperial palace?

There had been countless times in the history of the Great Imperial Empire when the palace was captured.

As for that mere building, if it burns down, they can just rebuild it.

If finances are insufficient, squeeze the corporations more, and if corporations can’t cover it, secure resources by squeezing the people.

What’s important is the great cause.

That is, the person wearing the crown.

“Your Majesty, you must preserve your precious self immediately. It seems the traitorous gang will soon invade the palace.”

“I… permit it…”

Thanks to the plan that had taken several years to prepare, the Emperor had long since lost half his intellect.

Thanks to the ability of the great Lady Yeo Hui.

They were able to corrupt him to the point where even with just a small suggestion, they could manipulate him at will.

To make it more certain, they had planned to carry out political operations to purge the Imperial Princess and manipulate state affairs from then on, but given the situation, they had no choice but to confront her directly.

“By the way, where is Lady Yeo Hui?”

“Just before the execution, she left the capital for a brief tour. …It’s rather fortunate. It’s an opportunity to prove how useful we are.”

“That’s true.”

Thus, they succeeded in retreating with the Emperor to Namhwansan Fortress.

But.

“…Pursuit? Already? How?”

“That’s impossible. There’s no way information about us heading this way could have leaked.”

Even the last ‘adjustment’ of the Emperor was incomplete.

They hadn’t managed to frame Edo Corporation with treason charges.

They also hadn’t contacted the local army that would have been a solid force.

If only they had one more.

Just one more day.

“We have no choice. We’ll have to prepare for a fight to the death…!”

Still, Namhwansan Fortress was built for military purposes.

It could easily withstand for a day even if attacked by considerable military-grade firepower.

No matter how powerful the attacks poured on them.

They wouldn’t have enough power to break through the AT field deployed at full force around the fortress.

Lee Je-hak gritted his teeth.

Evil spirit, was it?

It was time to show that impertinent youngster the power of an adult.

Third floor of the Office of the Inspector General. The office of the Minister of the Office of the Inspector General.

Cheok Jun-kyung was meditating with his eyes closed.

He appeared serene on the outside.

But internally, he was feeling quite complicated.

The one thing he had originally sought in return for allowing the expulsion of the Imperial Princess was simple.

To become the leader of one of the vassal states of the Great Imperial Empire.

Having reached the highest realm as a warrior, how could a man not dream of making a name for himself?

Still, his pride as a warrior was greater, so he ended up acknowledging defeat to the youngster who was like an unripe apple.

But deep inside, his heart was bitter.

As a military official, the Minister of the Office of the Inspector General was the highest position with nowhere else to go, but even then, wasn’t he still below civil officials?

If he were to start a rebellion and cut off all the heads of those civil officials, it was as clear as day that the operation of this vast empire would falter.

Amid these swirling thoughts.

Suddenly sensing a presence, Cheok Jun-kyung opened his eyes.

“Haha, I hope I’m not being rude.”

That audacious youngster from earlier was brazenly showing his face again.

Moreover, judging from the anxious expressions of the women gathered behind him, he seemed to have come here on his own initiative.

“If you’ve come to ask for my cooperation, you should leave. It’s enough that I’m turning a blind eye to you.”

Though he issued a cold dismissal.

The youngster didn’t change his expression at all, just wrapped a strange smile on his face.

Just as he was about to snap at the sight of that composure.

“General. Isn’t it a shame to retire like this?”

“Hmm…?”

“For a man, isn’t it good to aim for the top at least once?”

At those absurd words, Cheok Jun-kyung lost even the energy to get angry.

“…Are you suggesting that I betray not only the Emperor I’ve been serving, but also the Imperial Princess, your master?”

“Hmm, that wasn’t my intention.”

The youngster smiled awkwardly, then eventually looked at Cheok Jun-kyung with serious eyes.

“Is the Great Imperial Empire the only country in the world? Instead, create one yourself. An ally of the Great Imperial Empire and a nation with the most feared army and state that all other countries fear.”

Cheok Jun-kyung’s gaze naturally swept past the man to one of the women standing behind him.

It fixed on Ryu-a, the chairman of Edo Corporation.

She nodded slowly as if in agreement with the man’s words.

“If the coup succeeds, the state will spare no support.”

The man’s words stuck to Cheok Jun-kyung’s chest like a splinter.

And eventually, it gradually ignited a faint spark into a hot flame.

A stable vassal state on the border?

Or an unstable, but entirely self-governed military state?

For him, who had lived his entire life as a warrior, rather than the complacent word ‘peace’—

Wildfire, blood, and sword were more familiar, so.

“…Quite tempting.”

He decided to listen to this man a bit more.
