I Returned, But My Power is the Same

… … number one publicity?

It's surprising that I was interviewed, but to me, it's the number one contributor.

Even Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil brought that up.

What's going on with this now?

Of course I know.

You must have said it in the sense that you did it that well.

But the situation is the situation.

Reporters called me arbitrarily in a situation where all the reporters were gathered, in a situation where each broadcasting station was sending out real-time breaking news, and even foreign media gathered.

“Captain Choi Do-jin!”

First, I went and stood next to Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil.

The flash was going off so much that he couldn't open his eyes.

It's completely different from what you see there.

suddenly dry mouth

Then I met my sister's eyes for a moment, and he was rejoicing as if he had everything in the world.

"Hahaha."

Then, with the sound of a friendly laugh, something rests on his shoulder.

It was the hand of Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil.

He tapped my shoulder a couple of times and then went back to his place.

The embarrassment calmed down a bit then.

“You were selected by the commander-in-chief as the number one contributor to the operation to retake Jeju Island! What do you think is the reason?”

“What specifically did you do?”

“You are Captain Choi Do-jin! He has always worked for the country, such as saving citizens, but this time he did another great job! That's great! Please explain in detail!”

“As a former soldier, you have been the first contributor to a large-scale operation! How are you feeling?”

I cleared my voice and answered the pouring questions.

“… So, something like that happened. The Commander-in-Chief seems to have expressed it as a first-class public service because of that. I just did what was right for my rank.”

The explanation was kept simple.

Working in the double dungeon.

It is said that Lieutenant General Yoo Gyeong-pil and his party managed to manage the time well with the captains who were sucked in together.

Then he said:

“If I had to pick the real number one contributor, I think the commander-in-chief sitting next to me. We were able to finish the operation well because the Commander-in-Chief was there.”

It's because there's nothing wrong with getting a little more points from Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil.

It will also make my image (?) good externally.

“Haha, that’s right. For that reason, Captain Choi Do-jin was called the No. 1 public servant. However, this is one thing that must be pointed out.”

Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil, who was quietly listening, said.

“In this operation, the Chief of Staff emphasized the most important thing. safe right away. Even if there is a setback in the operation, he told me to put safety first.”

The Chief of Staff said that, but why are you suddenly saying that?

Not only me, but everyone else listened to Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil.

“Captain Choi Do-jin kept it safe.”

“Captain Choi Do-jin kept that safety, what do you mean?”

“You mean that Captain Choi Do-jin saved the crew?”

Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil nodded his head and said.

“The captains were sucked into the double dungeon of Baengnokdam. If it were not for Captain Choi Do-jin, some of them might have lost their lives.”

“… … !”

“Captain Choi Do-jin said that they all survived in it, but in fact, there was a great sacrifice of Captain Choi Do-jin. Because he was alone against the high-ranking undead.”

“There was such a thing… … !”

The flash starts getting hotter.

I couldn't even open my mouth and just smiled awkwardly.

“But is it possible for a captain to deal with the high-ranking undead alone?”

“Ah, you asked a good question.”

Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil said with a characteristic friendly smile.

“Do you know what a sword is?”

“If it’s a sword… Isn't that a higher-level technique of swordsmanship?"

“Is Captain Choi Do-jin wearing a sword?”

“Captain with swords?!”

The voices of journalists are raised.Foreign media also pay attention to this with surprised eyes.

"That's right. Swordsmanship is the higher skill of swordsmanship. Of course, the horse is a high-level skill, and there are several levels of difference in terms of rank. Yes, that sword was used by Captain Choi Do-jin. He was able to defeat the high-ranking undead.”

Simultaneously with those words, dozens of questions flew in.

The subject of the question was, of course, me.

“… That is all!"

After that, it took me almost 15 minutes.

It's a good thing to be interviewed, so why bother? It was like that for me.

I was on the verge of losing my mind. Even more than when I just came out of the double dungeon.

Is this how celebrities feel when they hold a press conference?

I felt it while filming a promotional video or public service advertisement, but this world is too difficult.

He shook his head and just left.

I wanted to talk a little with my sister, but the situation was ambiguous.

My sister also had to take interviews with other generals.

‘Dojin-ah! See you at home!’

'uh!'

We parted after sharing only a few words with our eyes to see later.

I'm a little worried about making my face burn hot while saying I'm a national hero, but it's because I'm thinking of everything.

And it wasn't just my sister anyway.

“Come, national hero!”

“You are the number one public servant!”

As soon as they returned, the crew poured out the same words.

My head starts to hurt again.

there

“Mr. Choi Do-jin, the first public servant.”

“Why are you even doing this to the operation officer… … .”

“Why, you look good together.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin is also clapping the seals.

“Have you seen the internet? Now, Dojin is raging about you, riot.”

“… … .”

“It’s hot even in foreign countries!”

“… … .”

Aww, I'll be delighted.

Of course it feels good.

How could it not be good to get so much attention?

However, one thing I want to point out is that the focus should not be on me alone.

Because this is what we all did together.

Fortunately, the reporters published an article about the entire Special Forces.

Broadcasters reported similarly.

“Come back!”

"Yes!"

After the noisy time passed, I got into the car.

Now it was time to return.

* * *

The first destination was the Hunter Headquarters.

Everyone wants to go home right away, but with supplies and equipment, this is an operation conducted by the Hunter Headquarters.

So, the final finish has to go there and build it.

- son!

On the way, I spoke to my parents for a while.

I did it while I was on the boat earlier, but what time is it that I haven't seen before?

And because of the interview at Yeosu Port… … I couldn't not do it.

- Do Jin-ah! Everyone in the neighborhood is rioting, riot! great!

― My son has worked so hard! I'll prepare a feast!

Seeing my parents like this makes my head hurt again, but still, thinking of filial piety makes me feel better.

- When are you coming home?

“Go to the Hunter Headquarters and stay there for a day, maybe the day after tomorrow? I think I will go there.”

- Yes, come quickly.

"Yes."

After a short call with my parents, I dialed Seong Da-kyung's number.

- Babe!

Da-kyung Seong is doing it again and again, but the voice I hear is now as excited as it was the first time I did it.

― The interview was really cool!

"saw?"

- Huh! Baby, you got a good screen wash today too! I guess it's because he's handsome hehe.

“Hey, he’s handsome.”

- No, no! how handsome he is!

I don't know why I'm laughing because I'm only hearing your voice.

- I want to see you soon.

"me too. My heart has already gone.”

― My heart is already gone.

He ended the call after repeating the lines that would make all ten of his fingers tremble if others heard it for about 10 minutes.

Hmm.

Even though I slept before, I'm still sleepy.

It must be so, and I am tired and tired, but the one I am riding now is not in the back car of a military truck.

It's a luxury bus.

Even just sitting in the chair makes my body feel drowsy.

Eventually, my eyes closed.

“Let’s all pack up our gear and get off.”

"Yes."

When I woke up wiping the saliva on my lips, the signboard of the Hunter Headquarters and the mark were showing off my majesty.

Whoa, you're finally here.

I hummed her and got off the bus.

“It’s late, so go straight to your dorm.”

"Yes."

Originally, it was a homecoming ceremony, so there was a place like a departure ceremony, but it was postponed to tomorrow because of the time.

rather good

I don't know when I'll go to such a place again, so it's better to go in the best condition possible.

So I went into the house.

* * *

next day.

On the way to my battalion at the Hunter Headquarters after breakfast, I wondered if I was still dreaming right now.

Para la la ram para la la la ram♬

Papa Baba Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Babam

The military bands lined up left and right, and there was a majestic march resounding.

Pollen was flying in the sky.

At the front, the Hunter Headquarters staff, the Hunter Deputy Minister, and related members stood together and gave applause.

I have never received such an honor in my life.

It was a very difficult journey, but at this moment it flies away.

"army unit… … attention! About the Chief of Staff... … salute!"

The return ceremony was held in a concise manner.

A brief remark by Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil, who was the commander-in-chief, welcome greetings from the ministers and members, and finally now.

The words of the Chief of Staff General Baek Eui-cheon began.

“First, I would like to express my gratitude to the members of the Special Forces on behalf of the Hunter Army. Without you, Jeju Island would still remain a den of monsters.”

Every word, every word makes my heart swell.

However.

There was something else that really made it swell.

“From now on, the award will be given.”

commendation.

If you got rewards such as stats and stats on the battlefield, you get the commander's rewards here.

“The target is all members of the Special Forces.”

The size is also large.

The target is the former crew.

It wasn't even the content.

They were given huge bounties, long vacations, and huge performance scores.nice!

This is it!

“Next, a special commendation will be awarded.”

special award.

It seems to be given to those who played a major role in the operation.

First of all, Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil and each commander will receive it unconditionally... … To be honest, I'm also looking forward to it.

It's not because Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil mentioned that he was the number one contributor during the Yeosu Port interview yesterday.

The reason I was mentioned like that is because I was so active.

“First, it is for general members.”

It seems that the commanders will give an award after the crew.

I swallowed my saliva and concentrated on what was to come.

“Lieutenant Colonel Gam Soo Soo of 2nd Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Company, Lieutenant Colonel Park Seong-jae, 1st Battalion 3rd Company, Major Yoon Young-hee… … .”

Most were lieutenant colonels and majors.

No, it was all.

Due to the nature of the special forces, even lieutenant colonels and majors are classified as general members, but in reality, a captain like myself could not do better than them.

“More than 16 people forward.”

And that was the end of it.

Well… … I've been making ridiculous fuss.

Yes, even if the work in the double dungeon was mainly cancer, the accumulated performance during the operation period would be different.

It's natural.

“Lieutenant Colonel Appraiser!”

“Lieutenant Colonel Sungjae Park!”

“Major Yoon Young-hee!”

Soon, a shrill voice resounds.

On their side was a certificate of commendation engraved with the Hunter Headquarters mark.

Aren't you given a medal for military service other than a citation?

Oh, I'll give it to the commanders later.

“We will proceed with the second special commendation award.”

Second?

Commanders, are you ready now?

It was time to think so.

“In front of Captain Dojin Choi, 1st Company, 1st Battalion.”

… … Yes?

… … what now?

“Oh, Captain Choi!”

“Hey! Are you even getting a special commendation?”

It was only when I heard the sounds of the other crew members next to me that I realized it.

that my name was called.

“The crew made numerous contributions to the recapture operation of Jeju Island this time, and… … .”

The moderator's voice is not heard.

I'm so dumbfounded

I expected it and then folded it again, but it's not just because I really got it.

Separately, a little while ago, apart from the lieutenants and majors, only my name was called separately.

Wiping the sweat running down both sides of his temple, he hurriedly climbed up to the stage.

Still, he moved as much as he could.

On top of the podium that eventually arrived.

I have climbed quite a few podiums while reporting for promotion or promotion, but this is the first time I've ever seen a podium this high.

and… …

“Loyalty!!!”

“Yes, nice to meet you, Captain Choi Do-jin.”

This is the first time I have met such a tall person in front of my eyes.

The shaking body and mind hardly ever calms down.

However.

The next moment I realized that the situation so far was nothing to tremble.

“Intercepting aerial monsters at Jeju Airport, defeating high-ranking monsters at Jeju National University and Halla Ecological Forest, and outstanding performance in the double dungeon of Baengnokdam, the last battlefield. And the courage and sacrifice to save the comrades. For this, Captain Choi Do-jin will be awarded the Hwarang Military Service Medal along with a commendation.”

Hwarang Military Service Medal.

Something I hadn't thought of at all caught my heart.
