Evening.

"Teacher, I'm here. What would you like for dinner? Gukbap? Platinum Sun? Yumir? Or all three?"

"Tteokbokki."

"Eh. It'll just be cream tteokbokki today, right...? You should add that too, ow!"

"Stop saying weird things and just eat whatever I give you. I'll make it today."

"Really? What side dish should I make?"

"None."

As I prepared and ate dinner with Yumir, who had barged into my room right after work, I brought up the events of the day and the story about the sports festival.

"Yoon Iseon said she wished the Goblin would appear."


"Do you really need to? Isn't it a bit beneath you to show up just to deal with a 17-year-old high school girl?"


"It's not about the level. Yoon Iseon was talking about the Goblin's beliefs. She said it doesn't make sense for the Goblin to appear since it's not about coming to defeat demons."

"That's true. So, what did you say?"

"I said it wouldn't be too bad to ask the Goblin if there was a way to do so. Ah, right."

As I mentioned to Yoon Iseon that it might be worth asking the Goblin once, I had a thought.

"Yumir. It seems like Yoon Iseon might have caught on to my identity."

"Oh, really? Teacher, there's no reason for Iseon to suspect. Why do you think so?"

"Because of you."

"Me?"

Perhaps Yoon Iseon already knew that I was the Goblin, and it might be because of Yumir that my identity was exposed.

"Because of me, you think Iseon has figured out you're the Goblin? I don't think she's that observant..."

"It's not about being observant; it's because of you."

It couldn't be helped.

Otherwise, there's no reason she would approach me with concerns about the Goblin after the internship.

"Why is it because of me that you were found out?"

"Well, you don't have friends."

"......"

Yumir's expression hardened.

"What did you just say?"

"Failed the internship, didn't make friends, and the only person you meet is someone who couldn't possibly have a connection? It's obvious to suspect."

"So, the problem arose because my social circle is too narrow?"

"Exactly."

I've been worried about this for a while.

The closer I got to Yumir, the more connections with Yumir would increase, and naturally, those who suspected Yumir would start to suspect me.

Yumir was Platinum Sun.

Yumir had a rather deep relationship with Do Ji-hwan.

Platinum Sun had a rather deep relationship with the Goblin.

So?

"Inferring that Do Ji-hwan is the Goblin is quite easy. Just by inserting a person named Yumir in the middle."
