[Title: Japan Kicks Off Mass Production of the Amakusa Series, Vroom Vroom]

Japan announced they’re gonna mass-produce starting from the 1st generation models of the Amakusa series lol

They said they’d never release it and used it as their own public resource, but now they’re finally lettin’ it go lmao

Hunters are probably gonna swarm Japan with cash in hand

[Comments]

- Why they suddenly mass-producing that?

Why do you think

No idea fr

- Japan’s trying to check the railgun drones lol

An S+ checking a B-?

If the Amakusa series gets mass-produced too, its rank’s bound to drop

Even if it drops a lot, it’d still be A+, right? Next up, Korea-boos

Japan-boos destroyed

[Title: (Breaking) Japan Tweaks Export Restriction Bill Against Korea… Where Is Super Eul SSPED Headed?]

It’s obviously to check Jjapsso

If SSPED grabs them by the ankles and drags things out, how are they gonna mass-produce drones lol

[Comments]

- What is this even saying

Ah, birdbrains

- Let me explain for those who don’t know

Magic equipment doesn’t just run by shoving magic stones into it

For example, you gotta make it into a battery form and convert it so you can use magical energy

So what is SSPED? To make those magic equipment batteries, you need all sorts of parts, right?

It’s a Japanese company that makes those parts

Why is this place a Super Eul when it’s just parts?

The machines that make these parts are crazy advanced tech, so they can only be made here

What kind of guys are they? Every magic stone battery made in the world is manufactured to SSPED specs lmao

Whether it’s research or production, you absolutely need their machines

You getting the picture?

Three-line summary:

You need batteries to make magic engineering devices

If Super Eul SSPED threatens to withhold parts, you can’t make batteries

Looking at the article that just dropped, Japan is preparing to stop selling battery parts to Korea

- So Japan’s trying to stop Korea’s growth

Those dog bastards

[Title: Amakusa vs Jjapsso]

Leaving out the nationalist bias, who wins?

[Comments]

- This question’s getting old now

- Don’t stomp on Jjapsak while it’s still growing. Protect our bro

- Yeah sure, Amakusa wins. You guys take everything

- Personally I think Jjapsso has more potential, yeah

- Amakusa has only been at it for like 1.5 generations, how dare you compare them

After 1st gen comes 2nd gen. Stop your 1.5th gen mantra, dumbass

Japan-boo bastards wanna compare with On Jurim so bad they keep spewing that 1.5th gen bullshit like crazy

Fact) They awakened while the 1st gens were putting on their ass-showing show at the top, and insist it’s 1.5th gen. No matter how much they struggle, On Jurim is a fucking insurmountable wall even among 1st gens, yeah?

[Title: While the Community Demons Are Fighting, What’s Amakusa Doing?]

(An interview screenshot of Amakusa saying they deeply respect On Jurim)

Yeah, they’re suspiciously in love with On Jurim~~~

If On Jurim had been just a little kinder? Amakusa would have naturalized to Korea like a dog

[Comments]

- Amakusa hyung is always so likable lololol

- Hmm… is it really to that extent?

For real, he’d have to get a lot kinder to offset his shit personality

LMAO this is it

Someone please butter up On Jurim and bring Amakusa to Korea

Who? Geuru?

No one but Geuru

Geuru is truly Korea’s hope after all… Please bring Amakusa over

Geuru: Me?

[Title: The Rival the Korean Media Set Up Against Japan’s Amakusa Series Mass Production This Time?]

(japan_amakusa_move_aside!_korea’s_jjapsso_has_appeared!.jpg)

Fr, this is today’s headline

[Comments]

- FFS lololololol the vibes are straight out of 1988

- A Korean sings an ode to the Amakusa Prize

- Keep this shit to yourself!

Chapter: Chick-Class Hunter Shows the ‘Kids Dungeon (S)’ Strategy with a Fork

[Move Aside, Japan’s Amakusa! Korea’s Jjapsso Has Appeared!]

Geuru narrowed their eyes and carefully read the portal’s main headline letter by letter, chewing over each word.

‘Move aside, Amakusa…?’

These days, the articles pouring out of the media were mostly like this.

News that the Japanese government would mass-produce the weapons of Amakusa, whom they owned, and release them to the market.

Stories that the background of Japan’s movements was to keep the railgun drones in check.

Predictions that Japan would completely knock Korea out with export restrictions on some company called SS whatever.

Cautious opinions that the Korean government would raise the white flag first, and drone mass production would be scrapped.

Was Amakusa that amazing?

Of course, they must be amazing. They were the only S-rank crafting class to awaken long before Geuru, and an artisan who made S+ rank weapons into a series.

The article said Amakusa was even called “Japan’s Treasure.”

‘Hmm. I see…’

Geuru summarized the article.

If you take out all the difficult talk….

‘Korea, you’re gonna make drones? Then Japan won’t sell magic stone batteries!’

Geuru, who had defined the situation in one line, opened their mouth wide.

‘Is Geuru’s business being interfered with by Japan?’

Dun-dun!

Geuru had liked Gudetama, so why?

A one-sided sense of betrayal welled up.

Into the shocked, wide-open mouth, a warm potato rice cake entered.

Geuru chewed and looked at Jurim, who had put the potato rice cake in their mouth.

Jurim sat with legs crossed at the table, looking at a tablet, and spoke listlessly.

“Because of you, the table is nothing but potatoes.”

But.

“Tatoes are yummy.”

“I’m sick of it.”

“Huuung…”

Maybe a little bit.

These days, Geuru had been bringing home one bag of potatoes every day, and to get through them, Yeongran had been busy working hard at potato dishes.

Just then, Jurim suddenly raised their head.

“Are potatoes a crop that normally keeps growing like this?”

“…Uuum.”

Geuru swallowed the chewy potato rice cake in one gulp and rolled their eyes.

Geuru didn’t really know either, but it probably wasn’t normally like this. It was because they were currently doing a special potato project with Uju.

Right now, Geuru was doing special research with Uju.

Named ‘Project Magic Potato’!

The ultimate goal was to synthesize the star candy extracted from Beillakeu’s magic stone with potatoes and make them multiply infinitely.

They were still repeating failure after failure.

Synthesis was possible with the skill ‘Squish Squish’, but they couldn’t overcome the magic stone’s power, so the potatoes would explode, or the grown potatoes wouldn’t hold any mana, or they wouldn’t grow enough.

So Geuru was using Uju’s skill ‘Sprout Sprout!’ to try growing potatoes in all sorts of ways.

After continued failures, Uju had asked, “Isn’t this actually impossible?”

Geuru closed both eyes tight and clenched both fists as if frustrated.

‘But Geuru isn’t wrong!’

They would definitely succeed.

Once successful, they would bash all the guys interfering with Geuru’s business with Magic Potatoes.

‘Yeah!’

To achieve the goal, Geuru had to grow!

To steel their resolve, Geuru pulled up an article on their phone with the Japanese Prime Minister speaking spitefully.

Under the headline “Circumstances of attempted SSPED technology theft from Korea,” and “Korea’s security awareness very low, export management policy needs re-examination due to security issues,” a huge photo showed a grandpa who looked like a rat making a despicable expression.

‘Hmph!’

Bad rat grandpa.

Geuru wanted to grab that weasel-like mustache and give it a good yank.

‘Someday for sure…!’

Mephistopheles followed behind Geuru with a blank expression as they snorted huffily and went to brush their teeth.

Jurim quietly followed Geuru heading to the bathroom with eyes full of affection.

They had shot up thanks to being well-fed, but were still smaller than their peers.

More than that….

“Has the sprout grown a bit?”

Jurim tilted their coffee cup and murmured curiously.
