I was Thrown into an Unfamiliar Manga - Chapter 327
“What I’m going to do from now on is─”
Therefore, I am currently the head of security for the security team under the Saionji Group and working as the chairman’s bodyguard.
Kim Woo-sung takes pride in his job as the chairman’s bodyguard and protects the chairman. When he attended a meeting with a major Japanese company called TONY with the chairman, Kim Woo-sung tried to get in the same elevator as the chairman, but was stopped by the security team. However, the chairman personally allowed Kim Woo-sung to ride with him and went up to the conference room. President Yoshida of TONY mentions Kim Woo-sung’s reputation in the underworld and suggests that he participate in a friendly match of the world’s top fighters. The chairman declines, but President Yoshida warns that the company’s reputation is at stake and that he will not admit the chairman’s absence to those around him.
I read an unknown manga – Episode 327
[Episode 327] [OVA] King of Boxing Kim Woo-sung
[New Year’s special! Find out about the man called the King of Boxing in the underworld!]
Q. How much do you know about the man called the King of Boxing in the underworld?
A. Ah, I’ve seen countless fighters in my life, but I’ve only seen monsters like that guy twice in my life.
Q. Only twice…?
A. Ivan, the Russian God of Destruction who was once called the strongest man in the world, and the King of Boxing who defeated Ivan, count as two.
Q. Oh, interesting. Can you comment on what the King of Boxing was like when he was young?
A. I’ve only heard rumors, so I’m not sure, but I heard that when he was only 17 years old, he defeated the God of Destruction, who was called the strongest in the world, and Onigumo, who was called the strongest in Japan.
Q. I can’t really tell just by listening, but as a fellow fighter, can you tell me why the King of Boxing is so strong?
A. That’s not difficult. What’s really scary about the King of Boxing is that he’s both the strongest spear and the strongest shield.
Q. The strongest spear and the strongest shield…?
A. Ah, ordinary fighters focused on his tremendous strength, but experts like us were amazed by his ridiculous toughness. Would you believe that there is a human in the world with skin and muscles that bullets can’t penetrate?
Q. Is that what the King of Boxing is?
A. That’s why his other nickname is the Diamond Yaksha. He got that nickname because his body is as hard as diamond.

“No, what is this.”
I looked down at the entertainment magazine with an interview with an anonymous fighter in disbelief.
Wasn’t it an unwritten rule to keep the underworld a secret from the media?
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like the work of someone who knew me very well.
‘The information is from a few years ago.’
In fact, most fighters who have reached a certain level of skill in the underworld can block bullets.
In some cases, there are people who can take a cannon or missile head-on and get up without a scratch. That’s the underworld.
In the first place, a third-rate fighter who would sell information about the underworld to the media for a few bucks, but I think I’ll have to do something about this.
“Kurama.”
“Yes!”
“Can you find out who the fighter who interviewed this magazine is?”
“Yes! I’ll get someone on it right away!”
“Thank you.”
I left the information gathering to Kurama, one of my direct subordinates on the security team, and headed to the 70th floor where the chairman was to work on today’s schedule.

After graduating from Kyoto University, I immediately got a job with the Saionji Group’s security team.
It was something I had been thinking about for a while, but the chairman, who became the head of the Saionji Group at the young age of eighteen, had a lot of enemies, and I thought it would be much better for me to protect him by staying close to him 24 hours a day.
When I expressed this idea, all eight of his wives supported my decision, and the chairman was very pleased.
When I say that I protect the chairman 24 hours a day, it means that I can be with him all day long.
That’s why I currently work as the head of security for the Saionji Group’s security team and as the chairman’s bodyguard.
Of course, the fact that I’m the chairman’s husband was a top secret known only to those within the group.
If this fact were to become known to the general staff, it could interfere with my work as a bodyguard.
Knock! Knock!
“Chairman, Chief Kim Yoo-sung of the security team has arrived.”
[Let him in.]
The secretary opened the door for me.
“Come in.”
“Thank you.”
I bowed my head slightly to express my gratitude for the secretary’s kindness and entered the chairman’s office with a light step.
The chairman, who was sitting at a large desk and busily processing approval documents, welcomed me.
“You look pretty today, Chairman.”
Then the chairman, dressed in a stylish business suit, chuckled and said, looking at me.
“I’m glad I got up early and got dressed because Yoo-sung said that.”
I approached the chairman and asked.
“Where are Minami and Shinjiro?”
“Minami is on a business trip to the provinces for a while, and Shinjiro is on vacation.”
“So it’s just the two of us today?”
“Is it?”
I cheered inwardly at the chairman’s confirmation.
I don’t particularly dislike the two of them, but whenever I wanted to create a cozy atmosphere with the chairman, the two of them would get in the way like an eyesore.
“Anyway, it looks like today’s schedule is going to be quite busy. What should we do for lunch?”
“Oh, I thought so, so I prepared lunch boxes in advance.”
“Haha, as expected, Yoo-sung, you’re quick to notice even without me saying anything.”
“This is basic. Should we get going?”
“Yes, okay.”
The chairman said, getting up from his seat.
I held out my right hand to escort the chairman.
***
Two years have passed since I started working as the chairman’s direct bodyguard.
At first, I was very awkward, but now I’m quite used to it and it even feels like my calling.
In fact, it wouldn’t be bad if I didn’t protect the chairman myself and left his safety to Shinjiro or the security team, but as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, doesn’t it?
If it’s power that I have no other use for anyway, I wanted to use it for the chairman, who is my family and my wife.
Vroom!
On the way to Shinagawa-ku in a limousine for a business meeting.
“Now, Yoo-sung, ahhh~”
“Ahhh~”
The chairman and I took advantage of the fact that there were no eyes around us and engaged in a loving act.
In fact, being a bodyguard is quite a tough job.
You have to stay on standby near the protectee, so you have almost no personal time, and you have to eat on time to match the protectee’s schedule.
However, if your employer is your wife, all those disadvantages are offset.
Because there’s no need to be mindful.
I took the rolled seaweed that the chairman offered me, swallowed the contents, and put a piece of vinegared sushi in the chairman’s mouth.
The chairman chewed the sushi in his mouth, swallowed it, and said with a big smile.
“I think the sushi Yoo-sung gives me tastes better.”
“Is that so?”
In fact, it’s natural that the lunch box made by a 5-star hotel chef is delicious, but I laughed, ha ha ha, while agreeing with the chairman.
After all, the food you eat with your favorite people is the tastiest.
We had lunch during the break, and then we arrived at our destination, Shinagawa-ku.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
I speak casually in the car, but I use honorifics outside the car.
That’s because it’s important to strictly separate public and private life so that you don’t show any gaps.
Today’s meeting was with TONY, one of Japan’s leading companies.
They started with the Walkman, which was a hit in its time, and are now famous for various electronic products and console games.
As I escorted the president into the building, an executive from the other company greeted us in the lobby on the first floor.
“Welcome, Mr. Saionji.”
“Hello, Mr. Yoshida.”
The two men shook hands pleasantly and then headed straight to the elevator to go to the conference room.
“Oh, the bodyguard can use this elevator.”
When I tried to get in the same elevator as the president, a man who looked like a security guard said that, but I ignored him and stood next to the president.
“Hey, don’t you hear me?”
Then, as if he was getting a little angry, he spoke in a strong voice, but I kept my eyes fixed on the elevator and replied.
“I only listen to the president’s orders.”
“…Ugh!”
It was then.
“He’s going with me, so leave him alone.”
The president himself spoke up.
Then the man jumped back in surprise, and just in time, the elevator arrived, so we were able to get on the elevator without any further fuss.
***
Whoosh!
While riding the elevator up to the conference room,
Mr. Yoshida, who was standing next to the president, looked at me and asked.
“Is this bodyguard the famous ‘Fangs of Saionji’?”
The president nodded readily.
“That’s right.”
Then President Yoshida exclaimed, “Whoa,” and looked me up and down.
“He’s as big as I’ve heard. I can see why he’s called the ‘King of the Underground’.”
“Thank you for the compliment about my bodyguard. But may I ask why you brought up the subject of the underground world now?”
Then President Yoshida said with gleaming eyes.
“Because it’s not long now. The Japan-Korea Economic Association is going to hold a friendly match featuring only the world’s top fighters.”
“Is that the tournament that NGOF, hosted by Easter Egg Company, created to counter?”
“Yes. I’m sure Mr. Saionji already knows about it?”
“Yes, I do, but I didn’t have any intention of participating.”
The president said that and looked at me.
“My bodyguard is the strongest anyway.”
With the president’s gaze full of trust and confidence, I almost lost my poker face without realizing it.
However, despite the president’s answer, President Yoshida pushed up his glasses with his index finger with a meaningful smile.
“I wonder if people will accept it if you say you won’t participate. If you avoid it even though it’s a matter of corporate prestige, those sly guys will try to tear you down.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“I’m just saying it out of concern. After all, it’s better for me to have someone who can communicate well at the top of the group.”
Soon the elevator doors opened, and President Yoshida said as he stepped out first.
“I’ll be waiting for good news.”
