[(Side Story) The person I want to be like]

Weeeeeee! Wow!

Giant construction robots roamed around, clearing away the remains of destroyed buildings, and priests purified the land contaminated with the blood of demonic beasts with divine power.

On the purified land, various buildings with different shapes from those on Earth were being completed with their frameworks at an amazing speed.

“Please cast strengthening and lightening magic here!”

“There you giants! I told you not to smoke! “When men smoke, it creates fog!”

“Where is the Lolow technician?”

Workers of various races with different appearances were busily coming and going to rebuild the city.

-Jeeeeee!

-Jeeeeee!

Whenever the gate installed in the center of the city flashed, materials sent from various dimensions were coming into the city in real time.

‘It’s closer to building a new city than a reconstruction project.’

Baek Young-hee, who was dispatched to Cairo as a site manager a few days ago, was looking at the city that was changing into a new form.

‘A new era will begin.’

After Daein headed to the Demon World with only a small number of elites, the Dimensional Allied Forces focused on repairing the damage caused by the Hell Gate.

3 Hellgates.

Considering the nightmare-like scale of the event, it was true that the Allies achieved an overwhelming victory.

However, in return, many cities and environments on Earth were destroyed.

Cairo, Egypt, was the most severely damaged city.

Since ancient times, Cairo has been an important road connecting Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

‘If this place had been taken over by demon lords at that time…’

I didn’t even want to imagine what would have happened after that.

“Manager. “It is said that a robbery occurred in District 23.”

The man who approached Baek Young-hee to report was Shin Jung-cheol, team leader of the recently newly established White House Team 15.

“…Is this District 23 again?”

“It appears that robbers attacked the food distribution center and stole food. Fortunately, they say there were no casualties today…”

Baek Young-hee frowned.

On one side, races from dozens of dimensions came together to help rebuild the destroyed city, but on the other hand, all kinds of criminals took advantage of the chaos caused by the disaster.

‘There are not enough people to properly maintain security while carrying out reconstruction work.’

It’s not just Cairo. The Dimensional Allied Forces were scattered across dozens of cities and carried out reconstruction work.

However, ironically, what bothered the Allied Forces the most was not the remaining forces of the Demon World, but the criminals who had proliferated due to the security vacuum in each country.

‘Not long ago, humanity was almost destroyed…’

Even though the Hellgate threat was not over yet, the evil nature of humans was causing problems everywhere.

It was embarrassing to other races in the Allied Forces.

Baek Younghee bit her lip and muttered.

“The Vice President and the others who left for the Demon World are still fighting for their lives…”

In that case, he must also do his job here.

Baek Younghee’s eyes shined coldly.

“I will go to District 23. “I’ve been looking at the reports coming from there for the past few days, and there’s something that’s holding me back.”

“I will prepare.”

“no. Team Leader Shin is here. “I will go alone.”

“yes? It’s dangerous to be alone…”

Shin Jung-cheol stopped mid-sentence. S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He realized that she meant to go alone.

‘It’s not the manager who is dangerous, but the people who attack without knowing what to do.’

“All right.”

Joong-cheol expressed his condolences to the robbers who would meet her a while later.

***

District 23 was on the outskirts of the city.

As the Allied forces rebuilt the destroyed cities, they divided the districts by numbers rather than traditional place names.

‘Because the place name will change anyway.’

There was support from various races in rebuilding the city, but it was not all out of goodwill.

Dimension Hub.

In the future, Earth will serve as a hub connecting numerous dimensions, and many different races will reside in Earth’s cities.

In order to later take that stake, races from various dimensions willingly invested their resources and manpower into Earth.

In fact, the same reason was largely responsible for the formation of the Dimensional Allied Forces.

‘Everyone must have made calculations about the future by now.’

Baek Young-hee didn’t think it was particularly bad or calculated.

A favor to repay a favor is only a temporary emotion, but if it is a mutually beneficial contractual relationship, it will continue as long as there are no problems with it.

Moreover, the current Allied forces tended to rely too much on just one person.

‘If the deputy leader disappears….’

The Allied Forces will become uncontrollable right now as the central point of the landlord has disappeared.

Before such a situation occurs, the Allied Forces, or the Dimensional Hub, must have a proper system in place.

‘Whitehouse must take the lead on this.’

As I thought about this and that, I arrived at District 23.

Baek Young-hee got out of the vehicle and walked towards the place where the simple buildings and tents were gathered.

The refugees looked at the unfamiliar woman with wary eyes.

“This is Younghee Baek, the Cairo area field manager for the White House Guild. I heard that a robbery occurred here. “Can we meet the witnesses?”

“…….”

People just cowered as if they were scared.

A scrawny face and skinny body due to not being able to wash properly.

The pupils shake widely as if anxious.

‘Even though it’s not plenty, there’s no way there’s a shortage of food…’

Baek Young-hee looked at them with a puzzled expression.

She had only been stationed here a few days ago, so today was her first time exploring these outskirts.

Food support was being received from many levels, not just from Earth.

Moreover, Daein also gave a firm warning to the Allied Forces before leaving for the Demon World.

-How sad it would be for people who lost their homes to go hungry. I hope the poor people don’t starve….

Of course, with a few words from the person in charge, the budget for food support has become ample.

But….

“Oh my! “Like this, without even saying that you were coming…”

At that time, several men and women rushed out from inside the cafeteria.

The moment she saw them, Baek Young-hee’s suspicions deepened.

‘I heard he was definitely robbed, but he didn’t seem scared or anxious at all.’

“I didn’t hear that you were coming from above…”

The man in charge of the District 23 soup kitchen approached Baek Young-hee and bowed down.

Younghee Baek said.

“I heard there was a robbery. “Is anyone hurt?”

“Oh yeah! Fortunately, no one was hurt because they only stole groceries. This happens often. “They are so new to me…”

Baek Young-hee listened with one ear and let it go with the other.

She nodded roughly and looked around.

“…okay.”

Citizens who were originally residents of Cairo were seen shaking with anxious expressions.

Why are they so anxious and cautious?

Like people who are being threatened.

“I’d like to take a look around here.”

“yes? Ah, then we will guide you…”

“No. “I’ll take a look around on my own.”

As Baek Young-hee smiled and drew an accurate line, the man’s expression hardened slightly. She saw it but pretended not to notice.

“Still, it’s dangerous for a woman to be alone…”

“It’s okay. “It is true that I am a powerless and ordinary woman, but who would threaten me?”

When I look straight ahead, the man slightly lowers his head. The moment he lowered his head, a brief but glimpse of irritation and anger appeared.

“…All right. “If anything happens, please call me right away.”

After the man stepped away with a shocked expression, Baek Young-hee slowly looked around District 23.

The residents of Cairo who survived the second Hellgate were living in temporary lodgings and tents built by the Allied Forces.

Some people moved to other cities, but those who could not bear to leave their hometowns or had no place to go were waiting for the city to be rebuilt.

Therefore, the number of elderly people and young children is quite large.

But…

‘When I walk around, everyone hides inside the house.’

“…as if someone had tricked him into joining.”

Baek Young-hee muttered in a cold voice.

However, he walked slowly without showing any emotion.

After a while, the whispering voices of children were heard from inside the dark alley.

“hey. “That’s the Whitehouse mark.”

“really? “Then, did the landlord come too?”

“…Can’t we ask for help too?”

“you idiot. And then to get hit again….”

Baek Young-hee entered the alley without hesitation.

The children who were whispering looked at her and said, “Sigh!” I took a deep breath.

“hi?”

“Oh, hello… please…”

She put on her most gentle expression. And then I took out a snack from my bag.

After becoming Team 7’s manager, she made it a habit to always carry snacks for Lily.

“I’m hungry. Shall we eat together?”

“…….”

The children who were watching slowly approached one by one.

Baek Young-hee distributed snacks to the children and talked naturally.

The children, who were wary of her at first, soon started talking about various things.

Among the many stories, the ones that children were most interested in were the heroes who became famous in the war against the demon world.

The boy with bright eyes asked.

“sister. “Then have you met the landlord?”

“Of course I met him. “You’re really close to me?”

“no way. That’s a bit over the top…”

He didn’t seem to believe me when I said we were close, but it was clear that he was interested.

Before we knew it, more than ten orphans had gathered around Baek Young-hee.

“Tell me about Lily! Flame angel!”

“Cheonma is the coolest!”

“no! “The golden giant is the best!”

In addition to great people, the names of children’s favorite heroes, such as Lily Cheonmugeuk and Wang Guho, were mentioned.

However, more than 70% of the names that came out of the children’s mouths were landlords.

War requires heroes, and the landlord had all the stories a hero needs.

“What kind of person is the landlord?”

“Do you really have fire coming out of your mouth and kill demon lords with one blow?”

“you idiot! “That’s Lily!”

A soft smile appeared on Baek Young-hee’s lips as she looked at the children who had forgotten their fears and were chattering innocently.

She opened the book by recalling the day she first met Daein.

“That person…”

At that time, Baek Young-hee received information that a great rookie had appeared and immediately got into the car to recruit him.

I touched up my makeup and adjusted my clothes in the car, and since I had some time left, I checked the video sent by the informant.

In the video recorded with a cell phone, Daein begins by rescuing a boy.

-I’m in the way, so go to your mom quickly.

-Thank you!

-Don’t just say thank you, give me a chocolate bar.

Daein, who chased away the boy he saved with a blunt tone, fought and blocked the monster from chasing the child.

“At that time, I was only focused on the sight of him fighting so well that it was hard to believe that he had just awakened…” When

I think about it again, the landlord was that kind of person from then on.

“In short, he is a strange person.”

“What’s strange?”

Baek Young-hee smiled and answered.

“He seems extremely greedy, but sometimes he gives in too easily to others. When fighting the enemy, he seems cold-blooded, but he tries to save people who have nothing to do with him. He says he’s annoying, but only takes on the most difficult tasks…” “Ah

. “What is that?”

“Not like that! “Tell me about defeating the demon lord!”

The children complained that it was not the story they wanted, but Baek Young-hee had no intention of telling the story of Daein’s heroism.

Because now there is no one who doesn’t know that he is a hero.

“Hey. “Actually, I also wanted to become a superhuman.”

I wanted to become a superman like my father.

A wonderful superman who is strong, confident, and respected by people.

However, she was not allowed any special abilities.

So instead, I decided to create the best guild. Regardless of means or methods.

Despite her lack of power, her greatest weapon was her beautiful appearance, and she was able to use that to bind promising superhumans to her guild.

Although I didn’t give my heart to anyone.

‘If I couldn’t become the best superhuman, I wanted to create the best guild…’

Everything changed when I met the superhuman.

Looking at his relaxed attitude toward life right next

to him, the brightened faces of those who were saved by him,

and the world gradually changing because of him,

Baek Young-hee realized that something was changing deep within her heart.

-I want to be like that person.-

“From then on, I started seeing my surroundings. Things that were invisible are starting to become visible. “I start caring about things I didn’t care about, get involved, help a little, and my mood just gets better.”

“This sister only talks about other things…”

“It’s not fun…”

The children sighed as if they were dissatisfied, but they couldn’t leave because snacks kept coming out of her bag with the subspace magic.

“That’s why I came here today.”

Baek Young-hee stood up.

She gestured to the person in charge of District 23, who had been looking at this place with an uncomfortable gaze earlier.

In the past, I might not have noticed this situation.

They probably weren’t even interested.

But not now.

“I guess you called me…”

She smiled softly at the man who looked anxious.

That smile was as cold as ice.

“You don’t feed these kids properly, beat them when they don’t listen, and they have some kind of connection with the robbers, right? Or are you the robber?”

As Baek Young-hee’s expression became colder, the man’s face became whiter.

“What kind of misunderstanding….”

“Kneel.”

“…yes?”

“Get down on your knees and apologize to these kids. “I’ll give you that chance one last time.”

“Why on earth are you doing this? Guys. “Did I hit you and harass you?”

The man looked around at the children with an aggrieved expression. The children kept their mouths shut and avoided his gaze.

‘These beggars…’

The man’s expression distorted.

This is why kids are a problem. Even if you educate them like that, if you treat them a little well, they will not be able to tell what to say and what not to say and will just blurt it out.

There’s nothing good about this either.

‘It’s like this because there is no father or mother to teach. I should have killed all the orphans first…’

“What are you doing? “I told you to apologize.”

“This is far-fetched.”

The man listened with an aggrieved expression. If you admit your guilt, it’s over. A sentence of at least several decades and possibly the death penalty.

The man’s eyes as he looked at Baek Young-hee were murderous.

‘I’d rather kill this bitch here…’

The man was a B-class superhuman.

Although it does not stand out at all within the Allied Forces, it takes less than 10 seconds to kill about 10 civilians.

One minute would be enough to kill all the witnesses.

‘okay. First, let’s kill this bitch and the witnesses and set it up as a robbery. Then, if I find a way to escape…’

The man’s sorrow deepened. The gang, who sensed his intentions, slowly surrounded Baek Young-hee.

It was then.

“This bastard. “It really won’t work.”

Baek Young-hee rushed at the man at lightning speed.

“omg!”

At that incredible speed, the man quickly took a breath and tried to step back.

But the reaction was too slow.

“I’m neither a martial artist nor a wizard, but I have quite a few friends like that.”

Before we knew it, Baek Young-hee’s palm was touching the man’s solar plexus.

“Thanks to you, I was able to learn martial arts, magic, and awaken my characteristics. Plus, all the teachers were the best.”

“omg…!”

The man could not move like a frog in front of a snake.

Because Baek Young-hee was radiating magical power that a B-class superhuman could not even imagine.

“So, let’s get this right? huh?”

“Why is the conclusion like that…!”

-Phew!

The tension emitted from the palm flew the man tens of meters away.

“omg!”

“Leader!”

The gang that was surrounding Baek Young-hee froze in shock. Baek Young-hee turned her head and glared coldly at them.

“Don’t even dream of running away. “If you don’t want to end up breaking it.”

It was Baek Young-hee who tried to resemble Daein even in the parts that did not necessarily resemble him.

Ba-ba-ba-baak!

In less than a minute, the man and his gang all fell to the floor.

“Whew. “I feel a little better.”

Baek Young-hee swept her hair back and smiled at the children who were looking at her with blank expressions.

“I told you earlier, right? “I heard I’m close with the vice president.”

“Wow….”

“Wow….”

She took out the communicator and contacted team leader Shin Jung-cheol. After a while, Team Leader Shin brought in troops and collected the criminals lying around.

It was at that time that I received a call from Baek Chang-soo.

“yes. CEO.”

As the call went on, her expression changed every moment.

“yes. yes. … Okay, I’ll get you ready right away.”

Baek Young-hee hung up the phone after a while and smiled at the children who were still looking at her with bright eyes.

“Do you want to hear more about the Vice President?”

“yes!”

The children answered loudly.
