“We can’t count on the Japanese government in this situation. The best thing for us to do is to go through with the raid. Besides, a sudden change could ruin the wavelengths of everything,” the representative explained.
“Really? That seems fun. I was thinking something a little different,” Rumi replied as she took out her tablet and handed it to him. When he turned on the tablet, a video showed up about the effects of their current situation.
In the video, they explained a much different outcome than he had explained. The gate incident was used for businesses so they could earn more money from their insurance towards the city. They even explained how things could advance while involving other people of Japan.
“Isn’t this what I was saying. Don’t try to cover up information that already we know.”
“How did you…”
“There’s no need to worry about that,” Rumi said. It was a video taken by Jaehwang. After the morning meeting ended, they got everything they recorded and watched it over to see if they got anything interesting and clearly, they did.
There was nothing that they could hide from them. In the past, the Daehyeong group suffered from an incident in their secret underground lab but there were no tracks left behind for them to ever find out who was responsible for it. Even the CCTV cameras didn’t catch Jaehwang.
Getting that meeting on film was nothing compared to that.
“But how? This video is filmed perfectly…”
“W-What is it that you want?” The representative asked nervously. If they had that video, he knew that they must know more. They tried their best to keep all of their information as top secret as possible.
“What do we want? Hm… How about everyone in that video stepping down from their positions? Rumi asked.
“Are you looking down on the Japanese government? How about we just forget about the video and leave it at that. We could also involve the citizens in some matters.”
Rumi looked unsatisfied.
“Do you take my words as a joke? We can do the best that we could but there isn’t much that we could do after we solidify our plan.”
“…”
“Do you think that we just want to expose everything to the media? Is that what you want us to do?” He asked.
“Will they hand it over?” She said, asking about their secret data and his answer was just what she wanted to hear.
“Your imagination seems lacking. Do you think we could do that? If I have this then the National Hunter Association would rather just erase Japan… They could request a level seven hunter to preserve the gate and what are we supposed to do then? Do you know why the Japanese hunters could be expelled from the National Hunter Association?” He said. The representative was sweating nervously. He was worried about what would happen to the Japanese hunters as their raids continue to what he calls the dark age. “What do you want?”
“To fix this situation.”
“Do you really think you can do that?!” He couldn’t imagine leaving such a serious situation to them. A foreigner helping them would not be good for Japan’s reputation.
“I wouldn’t suggest that…” the representative said.
“Hmm. Well, if we could get permission from Japan’s prime minister then everything should be fine. If we let things go like this, there won’t be a very good outcome anyways…”
“And because of that you’re going to demand us some authority? We still have to do what we can to protect our reputation. Having A level 9 hunter help us would be a terrible decision.”
“A plan…” Rumi said and the representative began to worry.
“If we agree to that then will you really erase that video?” He couldn’t let the video to spread through the public.Rumi then nodded her head in agreement but he wasn’t convinced.
“You probably think that you can’t trust us. In the past, Korea has kept a lot of secrets for your government so don’t worry,” Rumi said. The representative then took a moment to think before replying,
“Alright. When I go back I’ll tell him about it after the meeting.”
“Great. Also, I hope you aren’t thinking of lying about this or anything. We’re always prepared for anything,” Rumi said as she took back her tablet.
The representative then looked at the tablet, thinking about what else they could have if they had that video.

— Jaehwang, I’ve finished talking with him. The second part of the plan is complete.
“Great, good job.”
— The analysis still isn’t finished yet so you might have to really be sure if you want to go into this monster raid yourself…
Rumi said with a hint of concern in her voice. Jaehwang was planning on going on his own despite the others thinking that it was a bad idea. The representative even implied that it was a bad idea but even so, nothing could stop him once he made his decision.
The raid was starting soon and he still had his mind made up on going. He already got his plan going.
“Trust me.”
— Okay.
Rumi replied to Jaehwang’s simple request.
Rumi wondered if he felt nervous at all despite the fact that he seemed completely fine. Nevertheless, he wasn’t nervous. With the spirit’s magic on his side, he wasn’t worried about anything going wrong.
— Whenever you need anything, Just call us and we’ll help you out.
“Alright.”
— Well, I guess that’s all…
Rumi then ended the call through the headset and Jaehwang then ran as fast as he could. He got onto the helicopter and went on his way towards their raid’s starting point.
But soon before they even reached their destination, they were hit with an attack.
Tak! Taktak!
It looked like something that they had seen before. They looked at their navigation screen and tried to track down where it was coming from.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a person shortly after that attack was made.
— Lalala! I’m eating alone and resting!
— It’s coming from far away.
— Okay. Could we go back first?
“There’s something that I forgot to do,” Jaehwang said to the spirit. Usually, they would talk to each other all the time but Jaehwang has recently been spending his time talking with Rumi.
— The village is your goal? The village? Your planning to go there?!
— I don’t think that’s a good idea. You need to be very careful.
— Don’t be too over dramatic. It’ll be fine.
— I don’t know…
— I have to do all I can. I’m already disappointed in myself for not being able to help those refugees.
He said and Rumi then thought of all the Refugees of Tokyo.
— I guess you’re right. It’s going to be difficult, but I know you can do it.
She said as she held back her tears as Jaehwang increased his speed.
Before starting the raid, he had to check the top three safe zones he could retreat to for the next two days as he moves his way around the Kryp in the neighborhood. He would get the spirit’s help but he wanted to do this on his own.
— Aren’t there a lot of people left? Do you see anyone around?
— What are they going to think? Of course they all wouldn’t mind going into a bunker if it’s going to save their life.
— I know. I just hope that this plan doesn’t fail so we could save the city.
— Don’t worry, of course it will.
The spirit replied. There were a lot of young boys and girls together with their parents in the city ruins of Tokyo trying to survive. Their entire situation was like a tragic movie but hopefully, they would get themselves a happy ending.
Taktak! Taktak! Tak!
— You have to get there faster.
A few attacks came out of nowhere and landed on the wall near him.
— I don’t have enough to pay for a taxi.
— Just keep running.

Swoosh…
He ran even faster than before and in no time, he could already see the landmark of the place he was going for.
— The kryp is right there.
He was close enough to be able to see the kryp leaking and spilling out of the building. There was a dangerous giant puddle of it on the ground.
“There’s more than I thought it would be.”
There were eighteen monsters swimming in the puddle of the kryp and the other monsters coming out of the gate was covered by it.
— They definitely look scary.
— But we can be scarier.
— Right.
The monster stood in the giant puddle of the Kryp. The monster wasn’t Jaehwang’s only goal. He looked at the monster and asked the spirit,
— What do you think?
— The gate looks very unstable. It’s artificially made, isn’t it?
— Correct.
Japan’s Secret Design 2, The end.
