75 – In the gap under the tongue. (One)

In the gap under the snow (1)

Upon entering the cabin, the swordsman was breathing as if he had fallen asleep.

I watched it and sat down cautiously.

Sinui rummaged through the drawer and took out medicine and bandages and started preparing.

It’s a wound like this. If you’re an unarmed person with a bet on the battlefield, it’ll heal right away.

“You don’t think so, do you?”

“… Oh no.”

Be quick too… .

“Being unarmed doesn’t mean you can live even if your head is cut off and your heart is pulled out.”

Sinui says such a thing and puts gold spear medicine on the back of my hand.

I felt a tingling sensation for a moment, but after wrapping the bandage a couple of times, it quickly went away.

“I think you would know better.”

“… Yes?”

“What happened outside?”

“… !”

I was speechless at the sudden question of sincerity.

Did you know something and ask? Sinui’s expression was serious to say that it couldn’t be.

How did he notice it, I was careful not to get blood on it.

I was worried about pretending not to know, but it wasn’t something that could be hidden, since if I told Mae Hwa-seon anyway, I would know about Shinui right away.

Eventually, he smiled and spoke up.

“I had some work. I saw some guys targeting the cabin.”

“… Did you use sprinklers?”

“Yes, from what I saw, they seemed to be Sapa people.”

“…”

The look on Shinui’s face as he looked at me changed into pity without knowing it.

Why are you making such a face?

Is it because it looks younger?

‘Even though I was actually young.’

“… Is this your first time?”

“What do you mean… .”

“I mean, is this the first time you’ve killed someone?”

I didn’t know what to say at the word of faith, so I stayed silent.

I wondered why Shinui looked at me like that, but was it for this reason?

My hand was shaking little by little because the afterglow wasn’t over yet, and the expression of faith when I saw it was unusual.

There was only one thing I could say looking at it.

“Fine.”

Maybe it was because my body was startled, but I didn’t calm down enough to be strange, but I didn’t think about it.

Does he think it’s his fault?

He was an older man who was more affectionate than I thought.

So, I don’t know why I chose to be a member of parliament.

“It was something I should have experienced at some point.”

Even if Shinui is a doctor who values life and has responsibility, I would not say that all lives are precious.

It was a particularly meaningless story for a warrior.

So faith is just making a bitter face.

“There were groups lingering around the cabin. If you go back and tell Mae Hwa Seon, he will take action.”

“thanks.”

I made a surprised expression at the sincere thanks. I felt like I wouldn’t say anything like that at all.

Shinui raised her eyebrows as if she read that from my expression.

“What is it, you bastard, with that rotten expression? Did I look like a great person who wouldn’t even say thank you?”

“… No, it wasn’t like that.”

“No, bitch, don’t even think about lying anywhere, how can you get so many spots on your face.”

‘… Does it show that much?’

[It’s at the level of telling you the answer with your face, so just stay still.]

‘… Well.’

Is it really that much? I think I did pretty well.

It seemed that the treatment was over before I knew it, so I said thank you and tried to get up.

“… Physical training is not excessive, and if possible, eat mainly vegetables.”

I hesitated at the sudden words of faith.

I looked up to see what he was saying, and Shinui coughed repeatedly and urged me to leave.

In the end, as if he had been half-expelled, he stood in a daze for a moment in front of the hut, and Shin Noya said.

[It sounds like you are saying it because of the energy in your body.]

“ah.”

You said you wouldn’t do anything, but did you just want to let me know?

He also seemed to be a more affectionate person than expected.

[While talking about it, what do you plan to do with the energy in your body?]

‘What should I do? They say I have to live while praying that it won’t explode.’

[Didn’t you say there was a trick the other day?]

I bit my dry lips at Shinnoya’s words.

There are parts to be expected, but I’m still thinking about it.

It didn’t seem like there was much time left, so I had to make a quick choice.

“Hey.”

Gu Ryeong-hwa started talking to me as I came out and stood there.

“Are you done with treatment?”

“… As you can see.”

Gu Ryeong-hwa was holding a cleaver and cutting something into pieces.

What is that…. Can I cut it? The shape is also in pieces that are hard to recognize, so I was worried about whether I should pick it up or bite it.

In the meantime, Gu Ryeong-hwa had a face concentrating on cutting one of them.

After cutting potatoes like that for a while, he suddenly talks to me.

“… That… Fine… place?”

He tilted his head and answered Gu Ryeong-hwa’s question.

I could see her eyes slowly moving towards the back of my hand.

“Are you worried?”

As if she didn’t like my words, Gu Ryeong-hwa exclaimed in a fit of anger.

“Who cares, yes! They’re telling you to disappear from my eyes as soon as the treatment is over.”

“Don’t worry, I’m going anyway.”

“I wasn’t worried… !”

It was noisy and I just ignored it.

Gu Ryeong-hwa’s chirping flowed naturally from his ears, and he immediately set off to return to the volcano wave.

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

After returning directly to the volcano wave, he returned to Maehwa-seon and explained the situation.

I thought he would just give me a light letter and come, but I saw that Mae Hwa-seon’s face hardened slightly when he heard that he had killed someone.

“I’m sorry.”

The first word Mae Hwa Seon uttered with a hard expression was an apology.

I said okay

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to say anything about overdoing it in his hands.

If I had to ask, I would just look at it one more time to check later.

I checked the situation and ended the conversation by sending a literary man to deal with it, but Mae Hwa-seon’s expression did not open easily.

“… We should do a more detailed search.”

It’s like that I came close to the end of the day, and it’s like that I couldn’t catch one and ran away.

It is a fact that only a few people, including the Jangmunin of the Munpai, know that Shinui is taking care of the swordsman.

In the process, I came to know that I was an outsider, so it wouldn’t be strange to suspect me as the most suspicious person in the event of an incident, but Mae Hwa-seon didn’t seem to think that way.

Even more so now, even though there has been an incident in which the writers belonging to the Volcano School have gone missing one by one.

‘Is that also the work of the Dark Night Palace?’

I didn’t know the details, but somehow I thought it might be like that.

I wanted to know what they were doing at this time of day, and why they were able to harbor a demonic aura in their bodies.

There was no way to find out right now.

It was because there were many restrictions on moving the body directly.

“Hey.”

“Yes.”

He answered the call of Maehwaseon.

Mae Hwa-seon returned with a relaxed expression, as if she had finished organizing her thoughts before she knew it.

Even though it must be a bad situation, to be able to make up my mind like this again… .

I felt great in this part.

“There was a lot of hardship… . I’ll get tired if I hold on any longer, so I’ll find something I can do for you later.”

“What can I do for you?”

“Since a foreigner got caught up in the problem of the volcano, wouldn’t it be right to take responsibility?”

If you say that, you might say that it’s my fault for turning around and suppressing everything, but I kept my mouth shut when I said I’d give you something.

‘It’s given, but I can’t refuse it again.’

With that thought in mind, I said hello to Mae Hwa-seon and got out of the house.

I heard that the volcano will take care of the rest, so there was no problem.

Above all, I thought it was fortunate that the only damage on my side was actually a wound on the back of my hand.

[It’s a very watery world.]

Shin Noya’s words made some sense.

To be precise, it could only be the volcano, but it is true that the world today is more peaceful than the one I experienced later.

‘Even that is not much left.’

A few years at most.

It was years before that damn time came.

After an errand, it’s time for a little over lunch.

Upon entering the inn, the attendants were busy with housework.

‘Where’s Weiss?’

Now, when he comes, he habitually visits Wiseol-ah. Was it as predicted in the morning?

Wi Seol-ah was doing housework diligently among the attendants.

In the gap, I could see him smiling and waving his hand as if he had noticed me before he knew it.

I also waved my hand appropriately.

I wondered if the fact that Wiseol-ah was here meant that there was also a swordsman, but the swordsman was nowhere to be seen.

There was no way he would have come alone.

It didn’t make sense for me to dare to worry about the swordsman, so I went into the room with the mindset that something might happen.

I thought Namgoongbia was still asleep, but the room was empty.

“Where did he go again?”

It seems like it’s been a while since the futon was neatly folded… .

Where does he go in the volcano?

As I was snooping around, a passing attendant spoke to me.

“Sojeo Namgung went up to the back mountain.”

“Back mountain? What is he doing?”

“… I saw that he was carrying a wooden sword. I think he may have gone to practice.”

“… Oh, I see. thanks.”

“Yes Yes!”

The attendant flinched at my thanks.

I thought I had gotten a little better lately, but is it still awkward?

[If the attendant trembled at the words of thanks… how much of a dog did he act?]

‘… Hmm, I think it was a bit harsh.’

I was trying to do a steady reflection.

Fortunately, I came in a bit earlier and didn’t have a bigger accident.

‘Even if it’s only a year or two late… .’

So how did it go?

… I didn’t even want to imagine it.

After watching Wi Seol-ah eagerly hanging out the laundry, we headed to the back mountain where Namgung-bia was headed.

It wasn’t that there was a purpose, it was because I was curious that the blind bath had gone up there.

Climbing a high mountain that made you feel like vomiting just by looking at it, it was a bit difficult to make a bet, perhaps because of the battle in the morning.

Woowook-!

As I climbed the tree and started out on the road, I felt a tingling energy all over my body.

Aside from her appearance, Bia Namgoong has a somewhat pale presence, but like in her previous life, there was a time when she exuded a uniquely distinct personality.

-Hoo-wook! Whoops!

Namgoongbia is a completely different person when she holds the sword.

The usual fierce eyes disappeared, and only one famous sword was standing there.

Finding Namgoongbia wasn’t too difficult.

When I found a small clearing, Namgoongbia was wielding a sword in the center.

As if I wasn’t the only one who came, I could see the literary men of the Volcano School around me.

There are surprisingly many… ?

‘Are you watching?’

There were some people crowding around, as if they were watching Namgoongbia’s movements.

In the meantime, Namgoongbia was training casually even in the midst of so many people’s eyes.

A tingling aura that oppresses the surroundings.

Bia Namgung, who is holding a sword, creates an atmosphere as if she is walking on an awl.

Namgung family’s secret secret shown for a while at the first meeting after returning.

Emperor sword type.

Namgoongbia was unfolding a flexible body movement that could not even be compared with her younger brother.

The emperor’s aura, flowing through his flexible movements, oppresses the surroundings.

[…] That’s great.]

It was the exclamation of Shinnoya, similar to when he saw Yeongpoong.

To be honest, in my eyes, Namgungbia’s level was higher than Youngpoong’s.

Unlike the Namgung family’s sword, which has a fast sword and sharpness.

Namgoongbia’s movements were flexible and beautiful.

To put it bluntly, it looks more like a sword dance.

Because I know the realization she must have felt at the end of that sword and what the sword path she was able to achieve as a result.

The flapping of the wings to reach the result seemed more arduous.

I honestly couldn’t believe that Namgoongbia could maintain the frame of the king sword type in such a movement.

It made me think about the talent Namgoongbia had once again.

Not only Youngpoong, but also Namgoongbia, let alone the later Jisoo who are now called geniuses, like most of them.

They were already shining themselves.

‘It’s different from me at this time.’

[The current era is no different from a basin.]

He nodded his head as if agreeing with Shinnoya’s sentiment.

It was her sword that she had seen for so long and so many times, but there was another atmosphere at the tip of Namgoongbia’s sword.

There was no cruelty that the Demon Swordsman had, but rather, cleanness and beauty were hidden.

‘… It’s beautiful.’

There was nothing I could do other than that.

Literally, her sword was beautiful.

shredded-

Bia Namgung continued to wield it, and at the same time with a very faint noise, the sword dance stopped.

-ah… .

A sigh flowed from the mouths of the onlookers.

I guess that means it’s perfect.

Namgoongbia’s eyes turned to the direction of the noise.

I was there

‘… Crazy, step on this.’

I said I was careful, but I must have stepped on a tree branch without realizing it.

Amidst the blurry scolding in the eyes of the onlookers, Namgoongbia was only looking at me.

Beads of sweat were forming on his forehead, perhaps because he continued to move vigorously.

She doesn’t seem to mind that, just wiping the sweat from her chin with her sleeve.

“… uh?”

Bia Namgoong, who kept looking at her, suddenly widened her eyes as if she was surprised by something.

Then he throws down his wooden sword and jumps at me.

Namgoongbia grabbed the hem of my clothes with both hands and pulled me tight, then put her face close to me and sniffed.

“… what! Come on!?”

I panicked and tried to push it away, but Namgoongbia was persistent.

For some reason, embarrassment and despair on the face?

‘Why do you look so urgent?’

Namgoongbia, who had been snuggling in my arms with trembling eyes, seemed to have calmed down a bit and moved away slightly.

Then, suddenly, as if his legs gave out, he slumps down.

“Why are you doing this, do you even get sick?”

“thank god… .”

After sniffing for a long time, his expression seemed to be relieved.

Is it an illusion that the cold sweat flowing now seems more than the sweat shed while swinging the sword?

It seemed to be too runny, so I lightly wiped it off with a cloth.

Then Namgoongbia wrapped her hand around mine with a trembling hand.

He carefully dragged the wrist he was holding and brought the tip of his nose.

I wondered why he was doing this.

“Do I smell?”

Can you smell the sweat? Something had happened before, but it didn’t make such violent movements.

At my question, Bia Namgoong quickly shook her head.

“… I don’t smell anything.”

I felt a sense of relief at Namgoongbia’s words.

After a while, Namgoongbia stumbled and stood up.

I think I thought about how to do this in my heart, whether to withdraw my hand or what to say, hundreds of times.

In the end, something seemed serious, so I chose to leave it alone for now.

[If you chose another option there, then you are not human.]

“Are you done training?”

“… yes.”

“Is it okay if I don’t do more? I guess I still have a lot of time.”

“… I’m here, so I won’t do it anymore.”

Does that mean I won’t do it anymore because I’m here?

I wondered if it was necessary, but I was the only one who lost if I tried to understand Namgoongbia’s thoughts originally.

Quietly turning around and picking up a wooden sword, Namgoongbia came closer to me.

“hand… Are you hurt?”

“It just brushed me off.”

I felt like I was asking everyone who saw me.

Bia Namgoong, who has been watching this closely, speaks in a voice that seems to be regretful.

“… I was going to let you dance.”

“…”

… Suddenly, I felt fortunate to have been injured.
