Turning back time a bit, to when Yu-jin was about to face Winterer.

 

The swift reporters immediately wrote their articles.

 

They were in such a hurry that they didn’t even bother correcting typos.

 

[**Ninomiya Suspected of Illegal Entry into Korea**]
[**Prime Minister Nakano Watari Accompanies… Is Security Threat Growing?**]

 

“Facts aren’t what’s important. Just post it quickly!!”

 

Sensational articles poured out.

 

A Japanese strategic nuke struck Korea! The Prime Minister unleashed Aika in Korea!

 

It’s the Korea-Japan war!

 

Thanks to the reporters’ commotion, Korea was momentarily stirred.

**Title:** Huang Aika entered Korea, lol
**Title:** Is the Prime Minister’s illegal entry really a declaration of war?
**Title:** Ah, please, I invested my entire fortune in KOSPI today

 

**Title:** Hypnosis Guy Interview

 

(A picture of Yu-jin being interviewed under a streetlamp)

 

**Summary in three lines:**
1. Nakano Watari warned Yu-jin about the terror attack in advance, saving 10,000 citizens from dying
2. Aika, who followed the Prime Minister, decided to become Yu-jin’s disciple
3. Aika saved Seol Ha-yeon from almost dying

 

“??????? Is this real?”
“Watch the replay of the live video”
“Yu-jin and Aika just said this, yes”
“What, why is this unfolding like this?”
“Guys, put a pause on the refugee applications for a moment”

 

But now, it was stirring for a slightly different reason.

 

Before anyone could fuss about war, more articles poured out.

 

Their content was full of unbelievable claims.

 

What? The Japanese Prime Minister knew about the terror attack in advance and only informed Yu-jin? For Korea’s sake?

 

So far, during elections, Japanese politicians typically stirred up Dokdo issues to boost their approval ratings.

 

Yet, they shared such crucial information just like that.

 

Moreover, they risked getting captured by villains to bring Aika to Korea.

 

What is up with this Prime Minister?

 

Moreover, Aika was now supposed to take responsibility for teaching Yu-jin.

 

Japan was going to teach their nuclear technology to a Korean talent?

 

Instead of bringing Yu-jin to Japan and risking tampering suspicions, Aika would stay in Korea?

 

‘…What is going on here?’

 

It was impossible not to be bewildered.

 

Just yesterday, the Gate subjugation buzz hadn’t even died down. Such major incidents followed one after another.

 

No one could possibly understand this.

 

So many people gave up trying to understand.

 

They decided to just enjoy it.

 

A grand dopamine festival unfolded.

 

[**Korean Awakeners Minor Gallery**]
**Title:** So, summarizing the current situation:

 

Seo Yu-jin <<< this bastard

 

Received a terror warning from the Prime Minister a few days ago

 

While figuring out all the locations where Winterer planted bombs

 

Yesterday, handled an A-rank Gate with just two people

 

Today, suddenly blocked a terror attack with hypnosis

 

Aika’s uterus fluttered, so she became Yu-jin’s disciple?

 

And tomorrow, he’s going to perform a healing mad movie?

 

(Picture of Yu-jin saying ‘Actually, I’m quite strong’ meme)

 

“Ah, does this even make sense, Earth author”

 

“Even calls the Prime Minister ‘hyungnim'”
“Even okay with Bojji Kkong, this guy is just a legend, lol”
“Oh, is it you again…”

 

Excessive dopamine explosion. Nationalistic euphoria overdose.

 

All internet communities and article comment sections were ablaze.

 

The trustworthy young man recognized even by the Japanese Prime Minister.

 

The young man chosen as a disciple by Ninomiya Aika.

 

Finally…

 

[**Korean Awakeners Minor Gallery**]
**Title:** Wait, are Aika and Yu-jin living together?

 

I thought she said ‘my disciple,’ but

 

I asked my Japanese friend if there was a specific term for ‘my disciple’ in Japan because the pronunciation was a bit fast.

 

The translated content was this:

 

**’My Disciple’ (內弟子) is a traditional Japanese teaching method where the master takes the disciple into their home and teaches them directly.**

 

**Characteristics:**

 

The master and disciple share daily life, teaching all aspects of life.

 

It’s a long-lasting master-disciple relationship.

 

Focuses not only on skill transmission but also on character cultivation.

 

It’s exclusive and requires a strict process.

 

Isn’t this just saying they live together?

 

Can we reasonably suspect this?

 

“Would Aika really live with a guy she just met? People are overreacting”
“Aika isn’t some man-crazy spinster… oh, wait?”
“What”
“Well, she must be scared of ending up like Seol Ha-yeon eventually”

 

…The truth about Aika and Yu-jin living together quickly came to light.

 

Despite being a master-disciple relationship, isn’t it still cohabitation between an adult man and woman?

 

Moreover, one side had overwhelming ‘plausibility.’

 

The other side had an urgent time limit to get married.

 

It was only natural that people’s minds were filled with inappropriate scenes.

 

**Title:** Upvote if you support Yu-jin x Aika, downvote if you don’t

 

(19,201 upvotes / 18,891 downvotes)

 

Korea was split in half.

 

Those who supported Aika and Yu-jin’s union and those who opposed it.

 

Into two groups.

 

**Title:** Marrying the two is just nationally beneficial

 

(Picture of Aika flying around with a katana)

 

Aika, doing all this with pure physical strength,

 

Marrying Yu-jin?

 

Being a Japanese woman, she’d be obedient to her husband.

 

She’d do everything he asks, calling him dear husband♡

 

Japan’s strategic nuke would be ours.

 

We should absolutely support it.

 

“Ah, Japan-obsessed idiot”
“(Interview of Aika in elementary school)”
“Aika’s childhood dream was to be a good wife and wise mother”
“Her parents even said in interviews, ‘Please take our daughter. She’s good at cooking and obedient.'”
“Even disregarding Japan-obsessed idiots, marriage seems like a solid plan.”
“The effectiveness of marital alliances is proven by history.”

 

Supporters argued for national benefits.

 

If Aika’s power could be used for Korea’s defense, it’d be the best.

 

Even if not, it would greatly help future Korea-Japan diplomacy.

 

**Title:** No matter what, a 32-year-old hen is a bit much…
**Title:** Isn’t it pitiful that Yu-jin will be pressed by a breeding woman?
**Title:** If they fight, it’ll start a Korea-Japan war right away.

 

On the other hand, those who opposed had these arguments.

 

Aika was thirty-two. Yu-jin was twenty.

 

Sure, Aika was pretty and capable, but an age gap of twelve years was too much.

 

It was a bit too much to rashly shout ‘What’s up with them?’

 

It was only natural that people had reservations.

 

And above all…

 

**Title:** (Picture) The future if we follow the hen house’s words

**Everyone in Korea, are you watching? www**

 

From now on, I’ll thoroughly f*ck your precious Yu-jin~w

 

I’ll squeeze out every drop of your deep patriotism,

 

And turn him into an idiot who only knows Japan.

 

Sorry, but he’ll never be sent back to Korea~w

 

==

 

It’s a composite, but

 

How do you feel, hen house?

 

“Ah, ouch”
“Is this NTR?”
“Oh… I like this”
“(Get out of our village, this monster meme)”

 

More than the possibility of Korea stealing Aika, the possibility of Yu-jin being taken by Japan seemed higher.

 

No wonder composite pictures circulated immediately.

 

That’s how much Koreans were wary of losing Yu-jin to Japan.

 

Of course, the pictures were quickly deleted.

 

Composite pictures of real people, especially of Aika and Yu-jin, violated community regulations and were even illegal.

 

But…

 

Due to the unprecedented incident, all the world’s attention was on the community.

 

Including numerous ‘cyber wreckers’ who spread Korea’s reaction to their countries.

 

Their hands were quicker than deletion.

 

## [Thread Talking About Aika-chan]

 

(Aika and Yu-jin’s wedding composite photo)

 

Eh, what is this?

 

>>193

 

Aika-chan!!!?

 

>>193

 

I heard the news that she went to Korea, but, eh!!?

 

Thanks to a cyber war correspondent crossing borders, the wildfire spread even to Japan.

 

The Japanese were utterly dumbfounded.

 

No, we were definitely wondering what’s up with Yu-jin and Ninomiya, right?

 

But, you know, it was all just a joke.

 

After all, Ninomiya isn’t the kind of person who would do that.

 

But then…

 

Seeing the picture, oh? They look oddly good together?

 

Look at that 100% pure smile.

 

This is the first time I’ve seen Ninomiya looking so happy.

 

[Thread Talking About Aika-chan]

 

>>193

 

Is this for real…?

 

>>193

 

Aika-chan, you were really desperate, huh…

 

The Japanese believed it without knowing it was a composite.

 

Ah, you were that eager to get married.

 

Well, at thirty-two, it’s understandable to be in a hurry.

 

Though, it’s a bit too impulsive.

 

The composite was well-made enough to provoke such reactions.

 

Even Aika’s parents couldn’t recognize it.

 

– Hesitation.

 

“Aika…?”

 

“Honey. What’s wrong?”

 

“Look at this. Our Aika…!!!”

 

Messages flooded in to the couple quietly watching TV at home.

 

People around them were sending composite photos asking if this was real.

 

Their daughter, who hadn’t been in touch lately, was hugging Yu-jin, who was a hot topic in Japan.

 

In a wedding dress. Casually.

 

Upon seeing this, the two parents, of course…

 

“Aika finally met a man!!”

 

“Yes!! It must have been because of the ‘Great Luck’ we drew at Omikuji!!”

 

“This is great news, really!!”

 

They were overjoyed, even hugging each other and jumping around.

 

…It was an incredibly irrational reaction.

 

No, their daughter had gotten married without telling them. How could they be happy about this?

 

Anyone would think something was wrong with them.

 

But it was a natural reaction for the two.

 

“I was worried she might live alone forever like Seol Ha-yeon in Korea…”

 

“And Yu-jin, isn’t he that guy? The one who uses a katana and does all that healing! The one people say will become S-rank!!”

 

“He’s perfect for our Aika!!”

 

For the couple who married young, not getting married by thirty was a disgrace for a woman.

 

And Aika was already thirty-two.

 

The couple was secretly anxious.

 

They worried their daughter might end up like Seol Ha-yeon.

 

But now, she immediately held a wedding with a good man?

 

Our daughter is amazing! What a filial daughter! Do whatever you want!

 

That’s all they could think.

 

“How many children will they have? I hope at least four.”

 

“No, they can’t have kids. Aika is too busy to raise a child….”

 

“We can raise them! Our grandchildren!!”

 

“As expected of you, honey!!”

 

Then, the couple began acting impulsively.

 

Just like Aika’s parents. In a grand manner.

 

“Then I’ll send a message telling them not to worry. And also ask Yu-jin to take care of her.”

 

-Tap, tap.

 

“They don’t need to use condoms… really…”

 

-Ding!

 

“……Mom!!!!!?”

 

And so, back to Korea.

 

The butterfly effect caused by the word ‘live-in disciple’ engulfed the two.

 

The effect was tremendous.

 

“Con… condoms, why. I, with my disciple…”

 

“…….”

 

‘I know my mother-in-law is playful, but… This is too much!? An unexpected sexual joke is too much!!!?’

 

The atmosphere grew awkward in real-time.

 

Aika, embarrassed, squirmed, and her swimsuit shifted accordingly.

 

“This is…”

 

“No, no!! That is, um. I don’t really know what it means, but it’s really not!! I didn’t lie to my mom about being in some inappropriate relationship with my disciple!!”

 

-Grab.

 

Aika even grabbed Yu-jin’s shoulders and shook him.

 

She was worried she might seem like an impulsive woman who talks about marriage to her mom.

 

A new world unfolded before Yu-jin.

 

-Jiggle, jiggle.

 

“S… Sensei!! The ties are coming undone!!!”

 

“Mom said something weird!! I really, haven’t emailed mom much recently….”

 

“I get it, but please, the ties!!!! They’re coming undone!!!!”

 

The end of the long butterfly effect was, after all, impulsive.

 

* * *

 

The world was abuzz with Winterer’s terror attack and Yu-jin’s resolution of it.

 

Aika officially declared she would teach Yu-jin, proving that even villains could seem non-villainous, like Winterer.

 

At the center of this storm was Yu-jin.

 

So the whole world focused on him.

 

Even more than when Yu-jin reached the top of S-rank before the regression.

 

It was likely impossible for him to draw as much attention as this in the future…
