131 – What are you again? (2)

what else are you (2)

why is this guy here

If you think about the beginning of the incident, it won’t be too difficult.

The day before leaving for the Yongbong branch.

It was the last time I saw Namgoong-jin’s movements. Namgungjin is at a level where the Gu family can no longer stay, and I had a schedule, so I had no choice.

In the meantime, he pretends to be calm and says he’s okay, but the regret on Namgung-jin’s face is too obvious.

I understand his feelings, but from my point of view, even if he looks after the sword… I was just following Noya’s words, so I felt at ease because one burdensome task was gone.

The problem was right after that.

“It’s been a while, Yangchun-ah.”

“Have you been well?”

Immediately after meeting Namgung-jin, I went to see Iljang-ro.

Elder Lee heard my words the day before and said he would go with me.

I was extremely against it and said I would go see him alone.

Elder Lee made an expression of incomprehension, but going with him didn’t help much.

Rather, just being with Elder Lee, who was the opposite faction, was to draw a wall.

I looked at the thin, fierce-looking old man sitting in front of me.

It’s a dwarf and skinny body, but I can feel the well-forged sword blade contained within it.

Even though I’m old, I still feel like a famous sword.

However, on the other hand, I also said that I had risen enough to feel the level of a Japanese elder.

The old man smiled at me and asked.

“So, what is this old man here for?”

“I just wanted to see if you are well, I should come see you at least once.”

“Hoo… . Thank you for listening.”

I smiled along with Iljang-ro.

Old text.

It is a munpa that belongs to the Gu family and is called the sword of the Gu family.

Although it is not very far from the Gu family in terms of location, it is definitely on the collateral side, rather than feeling like belonging to the Gu family.

The feeling of being separated is strong.

It is unclear whether this is also a part of thought, or a part passed down from the ancestors.

“Yes, I heard you are doing well these days.”

“Sure, I’m always fine.”

Starting a conversation is simple.

Because you can’t just bite and tear.

“I heard you even got engaged to a pretty girl. Well done.”

“Thankfully, it seemed that they looked at me favorably.”

“Well then.”

The elder one grinned at my words. On the other hand, the air in the room is stuffy.

I could feel myself turning inside out without realizing it.

‘Look at this old man.’

It is spewing out a bet very finely so that it does not show.

Needless to say, it was already a very disingenuous maneuver, and I moved the bet and broke the air.

hook-!

The heat did not exhale. Because there was no need for that.

Perhaps it was an unexpected situation, but only then did the elder’s expression change.

I said looking at him.

“Because I hate cramped atmospheres.”

“This is so… .”

The old man quickly erased the smile on his face.

Yes, this is more convenient.

“It looks like it has changed a lot.”

“Because I’m in my prime age.”

“Twist… . The child who couldn’t even meet my eyes properly, now… .”

Was it Certainly, there was no way I could have endured this delicate atmosphere comfortably.

If it was originally, there would be no way I would have come to face the Iljangro on my own.

I took a sip of the tea and listened to the elder’s words.

Maybe it wasn’t mixed with poison.

‘… Maybe it’s because I’ve suffered so much, I’m worried about these things now.’

Under the present circumstances, there is no way that Elder Il would have done such a thing, but in his previous life, he always had poison and assassination in mind.

Even now, it was a habit to move the bet and widen the senses.

“You look really different from before, nice to see.”

“Are you really good looking?”

“Then, it’s only good that the leading role of our family has changed so much.”

“That sounds nice to hear.”

He is the main character of Sega.

You casually spit out words you don’t like.

There were times when I thought to myself that his words were sincere.

The time I’ve been through has made me realize that all those words are useless.

“It is no different that I came to see the elder today.”

woo woo-

A red aura like a haze rolls over her shoulders.

The eyebrows of the first elder are slightly furrowed, probably because of the climax energy.

“I came here because I have something to tell you.”

“… What were you talking about?”

If the elder one isn’t too surprised when he sees me at my peak, it probably means he already knows.

The reason I implied that I had reached the state was no different.

It is poor to write in the sense that if you keep touching it, you will overturn it.

It is said that he is superior for his age, but he was at his peak.

Compared to other warriors, it may be infinitely higher, but it was not yet at the level of boasting anywhere.

Up until now, if not only the Heavenly Demon, but also the Swordsman or Swordsman nearby pulled out their swords, they would be killed as they were.

If you’re going to live with your temper just because you don’t like it, that means it’s impossible at the current level.

[Then why not kill and live?]

‘… It wasn’t that easy.’

It’s killed a lot, too.

The world really doesn’t know this.

I am aware of you

If you’ve reached this level, don’t you know it’s too late? Stop messing with me.

Etc., was given several meanings.

Will the elders really not understand that?

I didn’t think so.

At my calm gaze, Iljangro finally takes off his last mask.

It seems that he had no intention of hiding it in the first place.

“It has changed so much that I don’t know. It’s like being a different person.”

“You hear that often. Didn’t they say that growing up is just an instant?”

“That’s right. I wish I hadn’t been there forever.”

“I have no interest in what Elder Il is doing or what he is dreaming of.”

The wish of an old man is a futile yet deep story.

I was not interested in what he dreamed of.

“But I keep feeling like I’m stuck there.”

The problem is that I am tied to the wrong side by the old man’s wishes.

“How could I not be involved?”

“I mean, annoying and irritating.”

“What was the problem?”

The elder asks

“What made you change the way you lived with your head bowed down, was it petty hope or pitiful faith?”

“Hope has been burned for a long time, and every corner of the house isn’t that clean to believe in something.”

The reason why the father left such an elder alone was probably part of it.

Anyway, it’s like a dog’s house.

there’s nothing you don’t like

“Your father is arrogant.”

I put on a mysterious expression at the sudden talk.

Suddenly your parents curse.

“Isn’t that so?”

“Are you saying that I should at least agree with my father’s insults?”

No matter how difficult it is for me to understand my father.

What kind of bullshit is this?

“You don’t know how arrogant you are to think that only you and your father can handle the karma of this land.”

I put down the tea I was going to drink.

It was because I didn’t know that the story of karma would come out of the mouth of the elder.

“How do you know?”

“Are you curious? what you know.”

“Yes.”

Knowing this can be counted on one hand across Sega.

It’s outside of Sega. I don’t know about it, but at least it is on the inside.

It had to be.

‘But the elder Il knows.’

Since when did you know, is it right to know for sure?

I don’t know much about the Iljangro.

The reason is that the existence of the country was in a miserable situation so that it was not very noticeable at the time.

It was also after I was appointed as Sogaju that I started to stand out in earnest.

“If you know, how are you trying to climb a place you can’t climb?”

“Can’t you climb? Me, if not my children.”

“Anything.”

“Not only father, but you are also arrogant.”

If it was to pity us who have to carry underground karma on our backs, it might have been a different story.

The elder was thinking of something else.

“You will never know. What a great power it is to hold them in your hands.”

It feels like the rising heat is cooling down.

“I don’t want to know. whatever that means.”

The elders cannot set foot there.

If you came to see it.

Because he couldn’t stand and walk around now.

I don’t know what kind of dream you’re dreaming of.

“If you want to borrow, please keep borrowing.”

Dreaming is freedom. This is also the reason why my father just leaves the elders alone.

The elder said mockingly at my words.

“What are you going to do if you don’t just lie around?”

“I do not know.”

Even if the elder one is blinded by ambition, should I give him a justification?

It is said that the value of Guseonmun is high and its role is clear.

You never know how far your father will take care of you.

There is no way that even the head of the company is unaware of that.

That’s why it’s probably not doing anything openly even though it looks like it’s getting in the way.

“You know what?”

I looked into the elder’s eyes and said.

“The dog that was guarding the house kept revealing it to the owner as if he had a problem with his head as he got older.”

I mixed up the story of my previous life a little.

It’s not fun if you only bring up things that haven’t been said.

“Dog… .”

“Yes, the dog.”

At the same time, he raised his eyebrows gently.

“Still, I had a lot of affection for protecting the house, so I put up with it, but one day, an old dog bit the owner.”

“therefore.”

“Do you know what happened?”

“I don’t know.”

The end of Iljangro is the same season as now, a few years later.

If I remember, that day was a particularly hot day for autumn.

The owner of the house was furious.

The fire he spewed filled the sky.

“After all his teeth were pulled out, he was burned alive.”

If it had only been biting, I would have passed it on. It was because I had crossed the line too much.

Isn’t it?

You touched a blood relative.

At that time, my father stepped out.

This time, it’s a story that I don’t know if I’ll step out a little early.

Coincidentally, that day in my previous life was also the way I could do very well.

If only a cause is given, that is.

And it seemed that there was not much left until the justification was given.

So I was still able to answer with a smile.

“It’s just like that.”

“… It’s a funny story. Very talkative.”

“Isn’t it? It would be nice if it was just a story, by all means.”

Iljang-ro does not hide the ambition that is visible in his eyes, but he hides his current emotions well.

Were you angry inside?

A young guy like that was spitting out rude words at himself.

“It was a funny story. Thank you.”

Iljang-ro laughs as if that’s not the case.

Seeing that smile made me feel a little better.

It means that the relationship with the elders will not change.

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

So now, looking at Gujeolyeop, I have many thoughts.

“…Whoa.”

Was it the problem that he went to his father right after the uncomfortable conversation with the elder Il?

I remember what my father said, ‘I understand.’

I just went with the meaning of what to do.

“Why are you here?”

“… It is a message to attend the Archduke.”

“you? me?”

“Yes… .”

I wonder if the elder one put it in, so it couldn’t be done without my father’s permission.

Father’s breath must have entered.

“You are a hostage.”

“…”

At my words, Gu Gujeo-yeop averted his gaze.

He seemed to know what his role was.

“long time no see?”

“… Yes.”

When I stare at him, Gu Gujeo-yeop doesn’t make eye contact.

Is it because of what happened last time?

‘I didn’t lose that badly.’

It’s because they sent it quietly without breaking anything.

Compared to what he said, he treated me very kindly, but it didn’t seem to be the case with Gu Gujeo-yeop.

“Gongja-nim… .”

Dangsoyeol sneakily approaches.

She was sending a wary gaze to Gu Gujeo-yeop.

‘Coming to think of it, the two must have already met.’

It seemed that the two had met because of something I had done in a fit of anger.

Because of that, Dang So-yeol also questioned me.

Gujeoyeop looked at Dangsoyeol and bowed his head slightly to greet him.

“See you again. Dang sozer.”

“… hello.”

Even when Gu Gu Yeo-yeop, who has a handsome face, greets him, Dang So-yeol only slightly frowns.

“young master!”

In such a situation, Weiseol-ah jumps in.

It was nice to see that he has maintained his lively appearance since we went out together the other day.

“Via sister, sleep!”

“It seemed so.”

Namgoongbia chose to accompany her as she had said before.

He said he had gone to the carriage first, and he seemed to be sleeping as soon as he got there.

“uh? hello.”

Wi Seol-ah finds Gujeol-yeop and greets her.

Seeing this, Gu Gujeo-yeop flinched.

Did he recall the memory of coveting Wi Seol-ah in the past and being beaten?

I looked at it and asked.

“What are you going for?”

“Yes?”

“What is your role?”

Aside from being told to attend me, there had to be a story about what they were following me for.

Gujeolyeop shows me a letter to see if he understood my words.

It was a letter of recommendation for the Yongbong branch.

The recommender is none other than Koo Cheol-woon, the name of his father.

When I saw that, I was dumbfounded for a while.

“… Well?”

Not an elder, but a father. Looking at it dumbfounded, Gujeo-yeop seems to be the same.

He didn’t know why he had to be here.

“… It’s fun.”

“what?”

When I turned my head at the sudden interruption of the voice, Gu Ryeong-hwa was looking at me with wide eyes.

“When did you come?”

“just now… .”

“Did you come to see me off?”

“I was just passing by.”

For reference, there was a considerable distance between the entrance and the residence of Guryeonghwa.

“Are you going now?”

“I guess so.”

“So when are you coming… ?”

I looked at Gu-ryeong-hwa with a strange expression at the rather sullen voice.

Gu Ryeong-hwa also looks at the ground with a blushing face, as if what she said was strange.

I said, holding back my laughter.

“Okay. I don’t think it will take long.”

At least it will be faster than going to the volcanic wave.

In the meantime, will there be old-fashioned shoes in Sega?

‘It looks like it will be there even after I return.’

Because I thought it would be half a year.

While I was thinking, Gu Ryeong-hwa added.

“… Hyuk will be looking for you a lot.”

“What?”

what did you just say?

“What is Hyuk?”

“yes? why?”

“No, what is that friendly title?”

“Why are you suddenly like this?”

Hyuk… . Surely it’s not the hyuk I know?

“you… . Are you friends with him?”

“We’re not close, but we saw each other yesterday.”

“what?”

“Because Master and Sinui ate together.”

“therefore.”

“So what is it? We just ate together… .”

We’re not close. Do you eat? I open my flounder eyes and look at Gu Ryeong-hwa, but Gu Ryeong-hwa only sends a glance as if asking why.

“I’ll have to see Hyuk later.”

“why?”

“I want to be friends with you from now on.”

“Hyuk said he was close with his brother.”

“That’s right, we should be closer from now on.”

our hyuk.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t see your face today.

Just as something was about to happen in my heart, Muyeon approached me.

“Bocchan, then I’ll finish loading now.”

“Are there many left?”

“Just load the groceries and that’s it.”

Only the heavy ones remain.

I said to Gu Gujeo-yeop, who was still staring at me dumbfounded.

“Hey.”

“Yes… ?”

“what are you doing.”

“Yes? What are you saying all of a sudden… .”

“What are you playing, go and help.”

Whether it was the elder’s intentions or his father’s thoughts, he didn’t know.

If you tell me to write it, you should write it.

Now that this has happened, Gujeo-yeop was going to roll quite a lot on the road in the future.

I thought as I stroked the hair of Wi Seol-ah, who was standing next to me like a puppy.

Does Gujeolyeop know?

I mean the back end is longer than I thought.
