Yoon Iseon was a severe Goblin fanatic.
She favored the idol known as Goblin and joined the Secret Society following his suggestion.
So when Yumir casually dropped a bombshell in front of her, Yoon Iseon couldn’t help but explode.
“Did you really do that?”
“Yes.”
Ignoring Yumir, who was lying face down in a corner with her head bowed, Yoon Iseon came right up to me and began questioning.
“How?”
“I don’t think it’s something to discuss in front of others. After all, it was Yumir’s ‘first time.’”
“Hmm. That’s important.”
Hyeon Se-rin approached Yumir, who was lying down, helped her into an upright position, and pressed her cheeks with her hands.
“You really should tell us how it happened.”
“.......”
“Oh my, if you don’t speak up, we’ll make it even more difficult for you.”
Yoon Hye-ra also approached and started to torment Yumir, who was stubbornly keeping her mouth shut.
“Why are you so sullen? You were the one who brought it up.”
“Now that I’ve done it, I’m regretting it.”
“That’s why you need to stop doing things like that.”
How many times had Yumir suddenly rushed into things?
She still didn’t seem to realize that these actions could lead to her self-destruction or crossing a line.
Of course, the fact that it’s related to our ‘patriotism’ or confined to that was certainly a positive thing, but once again, Yumir had caused trouble.
“Yumir. I can’t let this slide. Tell us in detail. Did you do it with the teacher, or did you really do it with Goblin?”
“Uh, um....”
As the three of them stared at her from different directions, Yumir looked at me.
It wasn’t a signal for help but a signal asking if it was okay to speak.
“I’m fine with it. As long as you are.”
“Th-Then.”
Yumir cleared her throat and straightened her posture.
Meanwhile, I took a short break and grabbed the two dragon orbs lying on the ground, gathering mana.
“Then, I’ll tell you.”
After taking a deep breath, Yumir said.
“On Sejong Island, outdoors, on a cliff overlooking the sea, I created a chair with mana and did it there.”
“Wow.”
As expected from a sudden action expert.
At Yumir’s explicit and revealing words, not only Yoon Iseon but also the two women who had been egging her on unknowingly took a step back from Yumir.
“F-First time... outdoors?”
“Th-The cliff... oh, maybe there was a cave below the cliff or something, right?”
“No. It was just right on top of the cliff overlooking the precipice.”
“Wow....”
Yoon Hye-ra alternately looked at me and Yumir, letting out a hollow laugh.
“You two really went all out from the start, huh?”
“Why are you surprised? I was just confirming the effect of the barrier.”
I pointed to the empty sky.
“Even though we’re out in the open like this, looking up at the night sky while chatting, we can still talk freely about the Secret Society, thanks to that barrier.”
Visual distortion, invisibility, soundproofing.
Even if you looked at it from satellite images, it didn’t look any different from the surroundings, and even if someone came to investigate, they wouldn’t sense anything unless they directly touched the barrier.
It’s like a magic mirror; you couldn’t see inside from the outside, but you could see everything outside from within.
Within that barrier, what happened was nothing more than a patriotic act for boosting the birth rate and international peace.
“So, so, what exactly did you do outside?”
“Um.... We were both transformed at the time, into the Platinum Sun and the Goblin.”
Yumir extended her hands forward and began rubbing them together with her wet hands.
“We just opened up the necessary parts and clung to each other. Since we were in clothes, it was easy to get out.”
“......And the mask?”
“It felt something like this.”
I placed my hand on my face and activated my mana.
Soon, a Goblin mask, like the one Yumir wore, appeared, covering my lower face up to my nose.
“We had to make eye contact.”
“Wow....”
“And the mouth?”
“Um... did we use our mouths?”
“You can’t forget that.”
“Hehe, we did it so many times afterward.... Oh, but, Iseon.”
Yumir reached out her hand toward Yoon Iseon.
“But, I only did it with the Goblin once. That first time.”
“And after that?”
“...I’ve been sneaking into the teacher’s house every day...?”
Baek Seol-hee, Yumir, Yoon Hye-ra, and Hyeon Se-rin—all of them were patriotic adulteresses.
“Well... still, don’t be too harsh. Yumir approached because she knew Do Ji-hwan was the Goblin.”
“Ugh... this is like giving someone a disease and then giving them the medicine.”
“That’s what happens when you provoke the wrong person for no reason, Iseon.”
I placed my hand on Yoon Iseon’s head.
“Whether it’s the Secret Society or ability users, I have only one thing to say.”
“What is it?”
“Act according to your heart.”
“.......”
Yoon Iseon closed her eyes for a moment at those words, then looked at me with a determined face.
“Teacher.”
“Yes.”
“I’m going to Jeju Island this time.”
“...You too?”
“Yes. I heard today that I’m also going for the summer camp.”
I see.
So Yoon Iseon was joining us on Jeju Island.
“You’re going to Jeju Island too, right, teacher?”
“Of course.”
“Then....”
Yoon Iseon fidgeted with her fingers before extending one hand toward me.
“Is it okay if my first time isn’t on Ulleungdo but on Jeju Island?”
“...Is there a difference?”
“Yes. Well, it’s a bit awkward to say this, but...”
Yoon Iseon made a resolute face, briefly glaring at Yumir before speaking again.
“...When I started dating a guy, I wanted to go on a trip to Jeju Island with him.”
“A romantic dream.”
“...Is that not possible?”
“It’s possible. But I have one question.”
I removed my mask and asked Yoon Iseon.
“In Jeju Island, do you want to do it with Do Ji-hwan, or with the Goblin?”
“.......”
“I’ll do whatever you want. What do you want?”
“Then.”
Yoon Iseon hooked her pinky finger with mine and slowly opened her mouth.
“Dating with Do Ji-hwan, marriage with the Goblin.”
“...Two-timing?”
“Yes. I’m going to go all out this time.”
Yoon Iseon twisted her lips into a smile as she looked at the stunned Yumir.
“Teacher, you know that, right? Unlike Yumir, I’m still a newbie.”
“.......”
“I was a high school girl until last year.”
“......!”
Ah.
“Isn’t something new better than something used?”
Now I understood why people say you shouldn’t mess with an otaku’s favorite character.
“Right?”
“T-Teacher...!”
Yumir, trembling and looking like she was about to cry, placed her hand on her chest and opened her mouth.
“I still have one new thing left...!”
“You’ve got to be kidding me.”
Thud.
I threw the dragon orb at Yumir’s forehead.
“There’s no need to compete over that!”
Whether the meteor counter went up or not, I had to say this.
“If you want to do that, you can do it whenever you want!”
“...Oh my, really?”
Yoon Hye-ra blushed and looked embarrassed.
“Then, shall we... What are you doing? Why are you reacting like that?”
“...Nyang hyang hyang.”
Hyeon Se-rin awkwardly turned her gaze away.
“Well, you know.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Hyeon Se-rin.
“...Even a patriot can lay down their patriotism and have fun sometimes, right?”
