I Became the Academy's Kibitz Villain [part 1]

Chapter 109: The Academy's Spring Day (3)

-The era of low birthrate and aging society. Isn't getting married and having children the 'patriotic' act that will brighten the future of this country? Haha.

I didn't particularly like this group, but it was the chairman of 'Haegnul' who said this.

-By getting married, having children, living a happy life, and fulfilling the task of enriching the country and the military, we pass on our nation...uh, an economically powerful nation, to our descendants. I think this is the true patriotic action we can take.

The chairman of Haegnul spoke. Marriage and childbirth, he said, were acts of patriotism.

-Stop talking nonsense! You're only concerned about increasing consumer numbers!

-Absolutely not. If my intention were that vulgar, would I still be this patriotic?

-What...did you...say?

-After my wife passed away, I welcomed a new wife in order to become a patriot. Let me introduce you. She's a grade-A ability user and just became of age this year, my wife...

-No, this is crazy!

The chairman of Haegnul first proved his dedication and effort towards the nation through patriotism.

Of course, there was some controversy about whether it was true love to accept a woman just turning 20 as a wife for the sake of patriotism.

-Hey. Do you feel sorry for the chairman of Haegnul or the grade A ability user?

-Shouldn't you feel sorry for the chairman of Haegnul? He's the chairman of our country's top company, right?

-You should feel sorry for the grade A ability user. Why would she marry such an old man? If I were her, I would marry his son or grandson.

In the midst of debates and jokes about who was pitiable, people began to get enthusiastic about patriotism one by one.

-Let's give birth to ability users and be patriotic!

-What if they're not ability users?

-...Hey! Don't say things like that carelessly! Do you buy lottery tickets thinking you'll lose? You buy them because you think you'll win!

People turned their heads away from the dark side of the patriotic fervor, and as the light grew stronger, so did the shadow.

-Everyone! Please congratulate me! The first child of the chairman of Haegnul has been identified as an ability user! The estimated power level is...a whopping C grade!

-The chairman of Haegnul should awaken! Call the women and get them pregnant...uh, oops!!

-Well, there was a bit of a commotion. Anyway, it's a national celebration! In commemoration of the birth of the superpower, Haegnul is offering a whopping 47% discount on Space Notebooks...

The media had never turned their camera lenses to the lowest part of society.

They only highlighted the bright side.

In my life as a villain, having seen the darker side of society, I couldn't casually mention the word' patriotism.' But, if that patriotism could bring the golden sun that could light up even that darkness, I would do it for my own sake, for our cause.

"Already here?"

"Of course."

As soon as I returned home, Yumir was waiting for me, pressing a mask onto her face and a hat onto her head in front of the teachers' dormitory.

Her clothes were a Babaricoat, conspicuously covering her skin. I didn't know where she got such clothes, but I could roughly guess what she was wearing underneath.
