After meeting with the president, I was lost in thought inside my home for a while.

"..."

Things had actually worked out well. They had worked out quite well, but... it left me with a somewhat uneasy feeling. The president believed my words without hesitation.

So, I was a bit taken aback, but anyway, if I considered the way the president had acted in the original work, it made sense. People are, well, somewhat straightforward...

Still, he wasn't a bad person. After all, he had managed to hold onto his position as president for quite a long time, which meant he must have had some competence, even if he appeared incompetent at a glance.

"Anyway, whatever. He may not have completely believed me."

Nevertheless, it seemed like he had understood the warning about the impending danger. That was good enough. The cooperation from the association was essential to prevent the Wolgwanggyo incident.

By the way, on that very day, I contacted Lee Seola to inform her about the situation.

[Yes, Da In. So you finally managed to get in touch with the president?]

"Yeah, I got some cooperation to a certain extent."

[That's fortunate. Well, it's reasonable for the president. I should have a separate conversation with him. However...]

"Yeah?"

[Da-in, how much did you tell him? We need to coordinate our stories.]

I honestly replied to Lee Seola's question.

"Well... I just mentioned that I'm doing it for the country and that I started the terrorism to raise Stardus's abilities, more or less."

[...You told him quite a lot. What about my story?]

"Oh, yes, I mentioned your story too. Just that we're on good terms... something like that."

[Hmm...]

Lee Seola, who had been silent for a moment, finally organized her thoughts and spoke.

[Well... After I met Egostic by chance, I started thinking that he was not that bad, and now we're on good terms. That's what I'll say. At least for now, I can't trust the president...]

"Okay. Let's go with that for now."

...Even though I only said that I know Icicle and that we're on good terms, I had no idea how she'd react once she found out I had already eaten meals and drunk alcohol with her, not to mention collaborating on terrorism. Moreover, Lee Seola shared quite a bit of confidential information with me.

[Yes. Leaving that aside...]

Afterward, we continued to discuss various business matters over the phone, and then we hung up. Talking over the phone was impractical, so we decided to meet up later and have a meal together.

Phew. I had a sense of moving forward, something was happening.

With that sentiment in mind, I left my room.

... It's a complicated and subtle feeling. I wonder if I can really do this.

Well, I shouldn't worry too much right now; there's still some time. Our plan is proceeding steadily.

As I was thinking this, by the time I returned to the living room, I noticed something.

"....Hm?"

I found Seo-eun, who was focused on something, not even glancing at me. She was typing on her laptop, completely immersed in her work.
