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.

[**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:** 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.

**Title:** So, summarizing the current situation:
Seo Yu-jin >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…
