107 – Someone who will tell you better than anyone else. (One)

Those who come from Hwaeum-hyeon to Hwasan-pa to see the shoe exhibition actually look forward to the second day more than the first day.

Even if the three great disciples are like that, in fact, the main force is the second great disciples.

Those with talent would have smoked plum blossoms long ago.

If not, it is because this is the time when plum blossoms will bloom.

It is already visible from afar. Petals blooming with clean sword and bet.

Unlike the three great disciples, I could tell just by looking at the distance between the non-stage and the audience.

[It’s okay.]

There was a clear sense of pride in Shinnoya’s voice.

In the meantime, I had to look around and find a party.

Again, it wasn’t that difficult to find. The atmosphere was eye-catching, so it was just a matter of going to a place where a certain amount of people gathered.

When I go to the expected place, Namgoongbia, who is wearing a cotton thread, immediately looks around.

Did you notice?

Wi Seol-ah found me a long time ago and was waving her hand vigorously.

He made his way through the crowd.

“young master!”

“Did you come to see me today?”

I stroked the head of Wi Seol-ah, who greeted me like a puppy.

Took.

I felt a touch on my stomach and checked it out, and found that Namgoongbia was leaning her head against my stomach.

Whoa… Whoa… .

Breathing is heard. Seeing how loud it sounds in my ears, it seems like I’m taking a deep breath and resting. Why are you doing this?

“Are you feeling unwell?”

When I asked, he shook his head. He looked tired, so he stroked his hair lightly.

Breathing returns to normal little by little.

“If you’re not feeling well, go in and rest. Why are you doing this?”

Is it because you’re so tired? I put my hand on Namgoongbia’s forehead, wondering if there was a fever.

Perhaps because of the sudden touch, Namgoongbia trembled slightly.

Little by little, your forehead heats up.

Is there a real fever? My body was a little bit excited, so I wondered why it was like this.

[…] Baby, you’re doing more demanding things than I thought.]

‘What do you mean?’

[You’re messing around needlessly, so isn’t that what the girl is doing?]

What do you mean? Even though I thought I was dumbfounded for a moment, I slightly removed my hand at Shin Noya’s words.

“Whoa… .”

As soon as she removed her hand, Bia Namgoong gasped for breath. It seemed a bit different than before.

‘… Is it really because of this?’

Recalling that Namgoongbia’s cold forehead suddenly became warm, I felt something dreamy.

Feeling embarrassed for some reason, I wiped my hands on my clothes.

“Well… .”

Bia Namgoong, who was out of breath, looked at me and made a strange expression.

Then he put his nose to his belly and started sniffing.

“Crazy? There are a lot of people, what are you doing?”

I was startled by the sudden action and pulled my back. Why is he suddenly doing this?

“Something… Has it changed?”

Namgoongbia’s gaze brightened slightly. I had to swallow my surprise at the gaze that looked at my body little by little.

‘… He’s fierce at other things, but he’s sensitive at times like this.’

That’s the case with posthumous swordsmanship and swordsman, but how can they tell the difference? You’re so good, you’re so good…

Maybe it was because it was a talent that would later inherit the nickname of the swordsman, to the point of being a little frightening.

[…] But I feel like a dog.]

‘Looking at people and calling them dogs, Noya… .’

Even as I said that, I also thought that sniffing was like a cat or a dog.

At that moment, someone grabbed my clothes and pulled them down.

“brother… Sit down for now.”

Gu Ryeong-hwa was paying attention to the surroundings. It turned out that my eyes were focused a little in this direction.

In particular, the gaze of the males is stinging.

I coughed and sat down next to Gu Ryeong-hwa. Fortunately, there was an empty seat.

I had to feel a strange feeling while watching the old painting. It’s because he didn’t tremble while holding my sleeve.

I was surprised, but it didn’t show. I slightly approached Gu Ryeong-hwa and asked.

“I heard you came to see me earlier.”

“Ah, I went to ask if I was going to see a shoe show, but they said they were going to practice and they weren’t there.”

To me?

Guryeonghwa came to recommend me?

This was so startling that I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide. Gu Ryeong-hwa looked at my expression and frowned.

“Why are you making such an ugly face?”

“… Ugly.”

“Sorry, that’s just ugly.”

“…”

After saying that, he giggled to himself. It was so strange to spit out a joke.

‘Even if I couldn’t overcome everything.’

He must have overcome many things, but he felt a bit bitter because he hadn’t done anything for that.

“But how did you know? that I found.”

“I came to see your master.”

“… uh? why?”

“What’s wrong, I just came to see you because I had something to do.”

Geomhu seemed to have regained much of his health. Along with that, I realized once again that Magi could have such an impact on a warrior at the level of Swordsman.

“Master often talks about oppa.”

“yes? The swordsman?”

“yes. He just said nice things.”

good talk? I don’t think I did anything to make it seem like that.

If it looks good though, it’s good or bad.

“So I countered that it was all nonsense.”

“…”

“You say you look like your mother, how can you say such nonsense… .”

There was still a hint of playfulness in his voice. Of course, to say that he resembles his mother is absurd even to himself.

After a little chat, I told Gu Ryeong-hwa.

“I’m thinking of leaving for Sega tomorrow.”

“uh… ? Tomorrow?”

“Because we decided to leave immediately after the shoe show. I told your master beforehand.”

After that, I had to go and talk to God. Gu Ryeong-hwa just nodded when he said he was leaving tomorrow.

The reason why old age seems a bit disappointing is that he couldn’t return to Hwasan for at least a few months after returning to Sega.

‘At least I’m relieved to go with the swordsman.’

As the biggest reason for not going to Sega was Geomhu, he seemed to have less hesitation now.

As the conversation seems to have come to an end, he shifts his gaze to the shoe store.

Even Namgoongbia, who slept soundly on her shoulder until yesterday, looked focused today.

‘I wonder if Youngpoong did well.’

No matter how genius Youngpoong is and the youngest plum swordsman, the current students of this generation are definitely on active duty.

I think it would have been difficult for Young Poong, who is still in the late index area, to rub.

I wondered if he had already performed a dance, so I sneakily asked Gu Ryeong-hwa.

“Yeongpung Sajil lost to the first match, because the opponent was the ambassador type.”

Youngpoong said that he fought with Shinhyeon from the first opponent. If it were others, I’d give it a little try.

‘But since it’s Yeongpoong, I won’t feel depressed just because I lost somewhere.’

It’s probably bittersweet, but it will happen soon.

The shoemaking exhibition ended earlier than the three major disciples had held yesterday.

Seeing that the elders had been contacted in the middle, it seemed that the Moorim Maeng had finally contacted them.

Since the sun was setting little by little, it means that a long time has passed since I left.

As expected, it seemed that the Murim Meng had a hand.

Is it a spy? Or is the blind itself rotten?

Either way, it wasn’t too surprising.

Unlike trying to escape in the middle of the shoe exhibition, I ended up watching it this time.

It was true that the sword dance of the strong swordsmen was fun, but the three pairs of eyes that looked funny next to them were too bright.

Rather than watching the dance, I watched it, and the time passed.

[So you didn’t mean that you spent all your time voyeurizing women.]

‘… How does that happen?’

Even though I refuted Shinnoya’s words, I thought that it might not be different.

When I arrived at the lodging after finishing, I said to Gu Ryeong-hwa.

“Eat and go.”

Gu Ryeong-hwa made a surprised expression at my recommendation. It was the look on her face that she never imagined would receive such an invitation.

“You are late.”

It’s obvious that I’m going to ride the mountain again at night to see the sword. It was obvious without looking.

At my words, Gu Ryeong-hwa had a face that hesitated for a long time. Bia Namgoong, who was next to her, quietly stroked Gu Ryeong-hwa’s back.

Gu Ryeong-hwa pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

“Afterwards… . I decided to eat with Master today.”

I nodded my head at Gu Ryeong-hwa’s answer. I still thought it was a bunch.

Even when he joked with me earlier, I don’t know if he was a little overbearing.

“next time… . Let’s eat together next time.”

Gu Ryeong-hwa, who promised the next one like that, was clearly smiling.

He didn’t say anything. Because this was enough.

“yes.”

After a rough greeting with Gu Ryeong-hwa, I returned to the dorm.

It had a slightly fragrant smell.

They seem to be making something using the mushrooms I gave them earlier.

‘Shouldn’t I have fed them before sending them off?’

I had a sudden thought. When you enter the dorm first, Namgoongbia and Wiseolah come in from the back, talking about Dorando.

Maybe it’s about the shoe show I saw today.

“So that’s what I said earlier…!”

Wi Seol-ah starts talking and then pauses. He looked startled when he saw something.

‘What are you looking at?’

As I followed Wi Seol-ah’s gaze, Hongwa was standing there.

[You seem very angry.]

‘That… I will.’

It had the face of a tiger. As far as I know, the attendants said they don’t learn martial arts, but I was a little scared without knowing it.

“… uh… sister?”

“You have to stand.”

“Yeah… ?”

“My sister has something to say. Shall we follow her for a moment?”

“Oh, no… ?”

“Are you following me? It’s nice, our Seol-ah.”

Hongwa tried to smile, but that was more frightening. As soon as Wi Seol-ah is caught by Hong-wa, she is dragged away.

“Eh, sister… for a moment… ! I’m sorry!”

They called me pitifully, but I had no choice but to wave my hand.

Fortunately, Wi Seol-ah was able to return by the time she ate.

However, when he came, he was embraced in the arms of Namgoongbia with an expression that his soul was half gone.

“it’s okay?”

When I asked, he didn’t answer and shook his head. Namgoongbia stroked Wiseolah’s head with a kind hand.

Seeing that, I joked.

“Would you like some medicine?”

Immediately, Wiseo-ah’s ears pricked up. I laughed out loud when I saw it.

******************

As soon as the next day dawned, I went to Maehwaseon with Geomhu.

I had asked a literary man the day before to put in a message, so I was able to meet him easily when I arrived on time.

“… Welcome.”

The slightly emaciated face of Maehwaseon came into view.

Probably listened to the work of the branch. Seeing that the expression on the sword’s face was similar, she must have heard it too.

Looking at me, Maehwaseon smiled.

“You seem to have gained a good enlightenment.”

Also, Maehwaseon seemed to have noticed right away that I had reached the climax.

There were too many strong people around, so this was also a problem.

“I want to congratulate you comfortably…but I can’t.”

“Fine. You don’t have to worry about it.”

In response to my answer, Mae Hwa Seon brought a box from behind and held it out.

“After talking with Tae-ui, he said that he seemed to feel better and that it would be okay to give him a command.”

The closed box is opened, and a faint scent is felt inside. I could tell just by looking at how magical the condensed bets were.

“Originally, I wanted to give you cutlets, but… It’s a pity that I couldn’t bring it to the elders because they were tearing it apart.”

When Maehwaseon spoke as if he was sorry, Shinnoya had a seizure.

[what? This madman, tried to give you the cutlass!?]

In this part, Shin Noya’s reaction was understandable. Jasodan is one of the few elixirs that can be mixed with Shaolin’s Summoning Team.

It couldn’t have been easy to give out something that even the volcanic group could not easily eat.

It was unfortunate from my point of view, but… . It would have been poisonous to bet more now.

It was because he had to consume not only the Magi obtained from Rakshasa, but also the flowers obtained earlier.

“And this… .”

Mae Hwa Seon takes out an ornament from her bosom and hands it to me.

Upon receiving it carefully, it appeared to be a common ornament with a red jewel embedded in it.

“What is this?”

A gift of ornaments suddenly? Mae Hwa Seon says it doesn’t matter to me who received the ornament.

“That’s what Gu Lun entrusted to me.”

“Elder Lee?”

I was immediately taken aback by the name that came out of nowhere. It’s because I didn’t know that the story of the elder Lee would suddenly come out here.

“It’s something you gave me in advance to give to you when you left.”

“What is that… .”

It’s time for me to leave, so since when did Elder Lee know that I was going to the Volcano Sect?

Mae Hwa Seon continues to speak, leaving behind my absurdity.

“If it was something like a ghost from the Kuga family, I would have hidden it to make fun of it… No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like that.”

“Hide… ?”

If it’s someone else’s family treasure, you tried to hide it… . what a dangerous word

It was scary to imagine how the fellows at the drinking party that Elder Lee went to bet on in some way, so that they did not care about such a terrifying act.

[…] They’re crazy… . They are crazy people.]

Shinnoya’s lament was heard.

“First of all, this is the end of what I can give you with gratitude.”

Maehwaseon had a face that said she wanted to give more, but couldn’t help it.

For me, this was enough.

It’s not even a couple of words, it’s a good looking amount of five or six.

Even more so, just looking at the energy contained in it, it is by no means a small amount.

I don’t know what to use for the bracelet, so I’ll have to go and ask Elder Lee later.

Given the current situation of the Volcano Wave, it was difficult to ask for anything more.

In addition to this, it was an excessive recompense when considering the consideration for returning to Sega and the parts he took care of when he was in Volcano.

‘The important thing is that this isn’t the case either.’

I looked at the swordsman who was quietly listening.

After all, he even asked the swordsman to bring him.

I carefully asked Maehwaseon.

“A man of longevity.”

“yes.”

“Do you remember when I said the other day that I would like to ask you a favor?”

“I remember it.”

“I would like to ask you a favor now about that part.”

That was the part I was a little hesitant about. I was really reluctant to ask for anything because of the current atmosphere of the Volcano Squad, but we never know when the Volcano Squad will come back.

Because right now is the best time.

“Thank God, I have more things to do for you, so my heart will be at ease.”

Mae Hwa Seon smiles as if it is rather good.

I hesitated for a moment even after seeing the smile, but I remembered what I had said in my conversation with the swordsman that it would be okay.

Thinking about it, I opened my mouth once.

“A position as an honorary writer of the Volcano School… I would like to ask you a favor.”

Mae Hwa Seon’s eyes widen at my words.
