Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

After sleeping soundly and waking up, the morning with the rising sun had arrived as always.
“Hueuh… It feels like I’m at a hotel…”
Even though it’s our parents’ house, I don’t often sleep here since I have my own home, right?
It feels somewhat unfamiliar but cozy, like being in a nice hotel.
“If you’re awake, wash up quickly and come out! Our busy son, we should at least feed you breakfast before you go!”
“Haha, I always eat breakfast anyway~.”
Even if I don’t do it myself, everyone else prepares it, so I end up eating it naturally.
Since I go to sleep early, I don’t often wake up late, so it just naturally happens that way.
Anyway, after resolving breakfast with an ordinary meal that could be seen anywhere, along with Heukmyo who had woken up in a strange posture as if not fully awake, I started packing my things.
…Though it’s hardly anything to call packing, but anyway…
“Then I’ll be heading back now~.”
“Alright. Be careful on your way back. When the cafe opens, come by for a cup of coffee!”
“Come visit again when you have time~.”
“Take care!”
Since I’ve finished eating and packed everything, it’s time to return.
Grabbing the steering wheel again, I started speeding down the empty highway, stepping on it hard.
Ah, but this time I didn’t go up to the speed of sound.
“Come to think of it, I wondered why cars were made to be able to go up to the speed of sound, but it’s because there are no cars on the road…”
“Actually, it wouldn’t make much difference even if there were cars? These days, cars can fly too meow!”
“Really??”
From what I heard, they say it’s possible to fly at low altitudes. They say they fly using magic while speeding at ultra-high speeds with just a slight lift… Somehow, it seems like Heukmyo knows more about it than me, the car owner?
‘Well, I wasn’t really interested in that side of things.’
Thinking that could be the case, I stepped on it again and moved forward, stopping at a rest area in the middle.
“Oh my goodness! A customer at a highway rest area!”
“Are there not many customers?”
“Of course not! Who drives cars these days? Even freight deliveries aren’t done by trucks in this world!”
“Oho…”
No wonder there wasn’t a single car in the highway rest area parking lot…
“These days, cars don’t even need to refuel, so there’s really no need to use rest areas! Moreover, aren’t they terribly fast? I heard it’s more convenient to just speed through the wide-open roads than to rest and go! There’s even autonomous driving, right! Now accidents don’t even happen!”
“Is that so? Then most rest areas must have gone out of business??”
“Actually, this side has gone bankrupt too. Look around! There are no other places doing business except our store, right?”
Looking around after hearing that, it really was true.
Wow… They’ve all really gone bankrupt?
“But why are you doing business here?? You said business isn’t good.”
If everything’s gone out of business, why are you still doing business here?
“Well… The building costs are cheap here! Surprisingly, it’s a public facility, so the defensive facilities are good too! Actually, I’m just pretending to do business because I’m bored, and I’m living here!”
“Oh, is that so?”
You’re living in quite a novel way!
“But if it’s a public facility, how can you live here?”
“Because business wasn’t good and all the people who were doing business here left, no money was coming in, but they couldn’t just get rid of the rest areas, so the government had no choice but to offer the rest area shops at a very cheap price! So people who don’t mind living in such a remote place come in and live here too.”
“Aha…”
Although highway toll gates have long disappeared, it seems they couldn’t get rid of the rest areas.
From what I heard, because the losses were so severe, even private companies that had been holding on sold all their rights to the government at dirt-cheap prices and ran away, and in the end, the government side, which ended up taking on everything, couldn’t help but allow this even while knowing about it.
“Anyway, it’s good you came! Seeing that you stopped by here again, it seems you’re driving normally without autonomous driving, which is really welcome! Yes, there should be this kind of romance!”
Whether it was because it had been a long time since he had a customer, if not a person, the owner who was doing business alone seemed really pleased and guided us very kindly.
The conversation went on endlessly.
“I can’t give it for free, but I’ll give it as cheaply as possible, so if there’s anything you want to eat, just say it! I’ll make anything!”
“Uh… Thank you? Then…”
I heard somewhere that if you provide a service completely free, it becomes burdensome and people end up not coming again.
But if it’s not free but giving extra or something like that, instead of burden, they feel more favorably towards the store and come more often.
In that sense, this seemed like quite a good method.
Although I probably won’t come often since I won’t have occasions to use the highway frequently, I did feel inclined to use it whenever the need arises.
Anyway, what this rest area’s only store handled was noodle dishes.
‘The store name was Myeonshik from the start, so of course it specializes in noodle dishes…’
By the way, they only handled dishes with broth.
Things like ramyeon, ramen, jjamppong, janchi guksu, and such.
Since it hadn’t been long since I had lunch, I just ordered one ramyeon, and Heukmyo ordered janchi guksu.
“Here, your food is ready!”
“Ooh…”
The food that came out like that was… passable.
It wasn’t particularly delicious, just exactly edible? It seemed like a store that’s just right for stopping by once in a while to satisfy hunger.
Well, that’s enough. We even got a big discount.
“Thank you for the meal.”
“Come again! I’ll give you service next time too!”
Like that, after eating roughly well, we left the rest area and sped on without hindrance. Of course, only on the empty highway.
Even when we weren’t speeding on the highway, because the car’s performance was so good, we didn’t go too slowly on the way home either.
“Ah, come to think of it, does this car have an autonomous driving function too?”
I just thought, these days expensive cars all have that function, don’t they?
Actually, don’t most cars that move at the speed of sound move on wide-open roads through autonomous driving? Or maybe not.
“Ah, it’s here meow!”
“Oh, is that so? Thanks.”
Like that, I learned even the autonomous driving method that I didn’t even know existed until now, guided by Heukmyo. They say autonomous driving these days has amazing performance? They say it’s definitely safer than human driving? Is this the advancement of technology??
…No, since I’ve been using public transportation all this time, how could I have known about this… Even though I have a car, I didn’t use it much…
Hmm, now that I know, I should drive with this in mind next time… It’ll be more comfortable to drive next time.
Anyway, after learning about that function, I came back comfortably driving without holding the steering wheel.
“I’m back~.”
And when I returned home like that after a light trip, an unexpected guest was waiting.
“Huh? You are…”
“Hehe, it’s been a long time! I’m Yu Gangpyeong, who was brought to this mansion as baggage with Dokma-nim’s gift last time from that lawless zone!”
I wondered who had come as a guest, but it was Yu Gangpyeong, the Snake Lord, one of the seven lords of the former North Korean lawless zone who had been brought to our mansion, defeated by Dokma.
“But what brings you here…”
“Huh? Of course, I came in person to report and check on the things that have occurred due to the matter between the Great Khan and the Great Fortune-teller! Shouldn’t one of the lords come out to report directly for such a great matter?”
“What???”
“What???”
“?????”

The matter between the Great Khan and me??
Putting aside the Great Fortune-teller thing, what reason is there for one of the lords of that lawless zone to come because of a matter between me and the Great Khan, Borte Chino Jamukha?
It’s true that the seven lords and the lawless zone somehow ended up under me, but it’s not like I went and managed them, I just received documents and money…
Even those documents and work were all handled by others…
Anyway, there’s no reason for one of these S-rank lords to come like this?
“Heukmyo, we have some things to settle between us, right?”
“Nya…?! Wait a moment, shouldn’t we play fair meow!?”
“You’re the one who broke the fair play!! Catch him!!”
“Ny-nyaaaa!! T-teacher!! S-save me…!! Uwup!!!”
“Hey, don’t worry. I’ll let you live?”
While I was wondering why Yu Gangpyeong, such a busy person, came here, I thought I heard some noise from behind.
“Is something happening there?”
“Ha, haha… What could be happening! You must have misheard…”
“Is that so? But why are you suddenly looking down?”
“Ah! It’s nothing…!”
No, you seem to be sweating a bit too…
“Th-then wouldn’t it be better to get straight to the point? Ha, haha…”
“Ah, right. That.”
Let’s think about it.
He came because of a matter between the Great Khan and me. And if there’s something related to the lawless zone because of a matter between the Great Khan and me… what could it be?
‘Could it be… because of that gift?’
He did say he would find a gift and give it to me… Was it entrusted to that lawless zone? Is that why he came to find me?
“Ah, could it be that you came because of Jamukha’s gift?”
“Ah, yes! That’s right!”
“Aha… Then where is the gift?”
“Huh? Ah, you mean the documents or reports? They’re here!”
“?????”
No, I ask for the gift and you give me documents or reports? Did he buy some land and give it to me??
Thinking that, I received the document envelope Yu Gangpyeong handed over and checked the contents inside, and I couldn’t help but be shocked.
“What!?!?”
That’s because it contained content I really couldn’t have imagined.
Report on the Connection between ‘Great Khan’ Borte Chino Jamukha-nim’s Territory and Great Fortune-teller Dam Han-ul-nim’s Lawless Zone and Their Mutual Exchange and Development
“????????”
No, how does one end up with such content in this document…?!
“Um… Is there something uncomfortable…?”
Faced with content I really couldn’t have imagined, I couldn’t answer Yu Gangpyeong’s careful question and could only stare at the document with wide eyes, blinking.
What the hell is this?!!!
