79 – More fox than you think. (One)

A few seconds to close your eyes and shrink.

There was no expected shock or noise, so Gu Ryeong-hwa quietly opened her eyes.

I thought the first thing I saw was the tip of a wooden sword.

When Gu Ryeong-hwa opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was someone’s back.

It wasn’t that wide of a back, but it was definitely the look in my memory.

Blazing-

Somehow, I feel familiar sounds and warm heat.

The wooden sword that was being swung toward Gu Ryeong-hwa was caught in someone’s hand before I knew it.

The heat that filled the surroundings fades before I can judge what the situation is.

The owner of the back said.

“what are you doing?”

At those words, the woman who was dancing averted her gaze for a moment.

The face of the person who saved her came into the eyes of Gu Ryeong-hwa, who was confused and unable to grasp the situation properly.

A boy with a fierce look that seems to be full of irritation with ferocious eyes.

It was his older brother, Yangcheon Gu.

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

‘I thought it would break.’

My hands are tingling.

Although he suddenly intervened in a situation where it seemed like something big would happen if he didn’t intervene, he didn’t mean to intervene so drastically.

Namgoongbia was wearing swordsmanship, but the strength was not strong.

Still, if I hadn’t used the bet, my arm would have been sore.

“what are you doing?”

At my question, Namgoongbia averts her gaze.

Will he admit that he was a little too much?

“Why are you even drawing swords against a child?”

Namgoongbia still has no answer.

There seemed to be some conversation going on between the two, but I couldn’t hear it properly.

Bia Namgoong, who was hesitant, opened her mouth with a sullen expression.

“… I was ugly.”

“What?”

“I’m not ugly… .”

What are you saying all of a sudden?

Did Gu Ryeong-hwa say Namgung-bia was ugly?

‘… Aren’t you a kid with that much sore eyes?’

Guryunghwa must be pretty considering that she is bloodline.

In particular, it was more like that because he doesn’t have the characteristic awl-like eyes.

Still, it wasn’t enough to say anything to Namgoongbia.

I asked while looking at the old painting.

“Did you look at him and say he was ugly?”

“… What nonsense are you talking about?”

“So, what nonsense is this?”

Something doesn’t seem right with the conversation.

Gu Ryeong-hwa looks at me with subtle eyes.

“why?”

“… What’s your relationship with that person?”

“That person?”

His glance was on Namgoongbia.

…Didn’t I tell you?

I didn’t.

“ah… . therefore… .”

“fiance.”

Just like the last time, Namgoongbia intercepted my words this time.

Namgoongbia’s resolute three-letter phrase has solidified.

He looked at me and Bia Namgung alternately with surprised eyes, and his expression hardened.

like ‘… why?’ It was like an expression.

To be precise, how could you and someone like that… ? Wouldn’t this be more accurate?

Whatever it was, it was embarrassing.

“… You said you came all the way here with your fiancé?”

“I didn’t come with you… . We met on the way.”

I really came and met you.

From Gu Ling-Hwa’s point of view, how can there be a coincidence on the way from Shanxi to Shaanxi?

… It was literally.

Gu Ryeong-hwa, who had been dazed, looked at Namgoong-bia with a blurry face, as if he remembered something.

“engagement… . therefore?”

Namgoongbia, who was looking at her, was as expressionless as usual.

Gu Ryeong-hwa got up and walked over to Namgung-Bia.

I’m going to step out one more time thinking that maybe they’re trying to get into a fight because of what I just did.

Surprisingly, Gu Ryeong-hwa bows her head to Namgoong-bia.

“Thanks for the map.”

Unlike the appearance covered in dust, he took an example neatly.

Bia Namgoong watched the scene and brushed the grass off Gu Ryeong-hwa’s shoulder with her hand.

Gu Ryeong-hwa shrank slightly at the touch, and then continued talking.

“… words… . I’m sorry for being careless.”

Why am I glaring at you when you say that?

When Gu Ryeong-hwa apologized, Namgung-bia followed suit and apologized to Gu Ryeong-hwa.

“… I’m sorry too… .”

What… ?

Why are they suddenly reconciling with each other?

I am the only one who is confused in an unknown situation, so Guryeong-hwa runs away.

“Where?”

“Never mind!”

He screams at what he doesn’t like so much, bows his head slightly to Namgoongbia one more time, and runs down the mountain.

I saved you at best… .

“Why are you doing that… ?”

It was something I really didn’t know.

Guryonghwa went down and Namgoongbia approached.

something embarrassing

“… I had no intention of hitting him myself.”

I laughed at the words he spat out as if he was making excuses.

“I know.”

He knew that the sword that was contained in the sword, the intimidation that he secretly exuded, and the purpose of the sword were, in the end, only threats.

Even so, I went out, so it must be my fault.

I asked while looking at Bia Namgoong, who was standing there shyly.

“Why were you doing this with him?”

“… I was just blank… ?”

“… Yes, it would be you.”

How could someone be so crazy about the dance?

Could it be that he was also used as a ghost like me? I was seriously suspicious.

Namgoongbia suddenly asks me.

“there… .”

“yes?”

“Acquaintance… ?”

I thought for a moment about what Namgoongbia was asking.

Looking at the gaze, the direction the commanding shoes went down.

Oh, did I ever tell Namgoongbia?

I spat lightly as if it was nothing.

“Your brother.”

“… uh?”

I don’t think I’ve ever introduced myself… .

Did he do this without even knowing he was my brother?

Certainly, it was possible because the faces did not look alike at all.

The problem is Namgoongbia’s expression after hearing my words.

In my previous and this life, I had never seen Namgoongbia’s expression so clear.

“… what’s the matter?”

I wonder if I asked.

It’s the first time I’ve seen him make that face.

What should I do? It seems like despair… . It might seem surprising.

It was a face full of mixed emotions.

Of course, it didn’t look very good.

“… mind… .”

“mind?”

I started muttering something to myself, but it was so low I couldn’t hear it.

So I got a little closer.

“mind… net… .”

“what?”

“net… I did it.”

Three letters quietly whispered.

What was it, I couldn’t figure out what it meant.

Namgoongbia was originally a bit of a weird personality, so I decided to skip it this time as well.

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

It was the next day.

Fortunately, I was able to get another room yesterday, so I could sleep comfortably for the third night.

Namgoongbia, who looked blank for some reason, didn’t say much, but Wiseolah made a disapproving face.

Of course, it bothered me a bit, but it was probably because I had told Hongwa in advance, so when it was time to sleep, I was naturally dragged away and disappeared.

Thanks to that, I was able to sleep soundly for a long time.

Shin Noya’s shudder was a little loud, but it was enough to withstand it and fall asleep.

I started practicing in the morning with Youngpoong, thinking that it would be okay this time since I was in a fresh body.

If you’re this good, won’t you be able to hold on? it was because

It wasn’t.

Couldn’t this crazy Moonpa be tortured under the guise of training?

That too is yourself.

With trembling legs, I went back to my quarters and lay down on the floor.

Because of the influence of the simbeop, you won’t be sensitive to heat or cold, and you won’t sweat easily.

To the point of being covered in sweat… .

Doing this ridiculous level of training every day?

It couldn’t have been a perverted munpa.

[…] This rotten guy?]

Shin Noya cursed at him as if he didn’t like it, but he didn’t listen.

In fact, this is the part that flows through one ear now that I have become accustomed to it.

A glass of water is placed next to me as I am drenched in sweat.

It was handed over to Wi Seol-ah, who had approached before I knew it.

“It’s okay, Bocchan… ?”

“no… . It’s not okay.”

It was stretched out with an exhausted body.

I asked Wi Seol-ah because I couldn’t see Namgoongbia from the morning.

“My sister left earlier!”

said.

Where are you swinging a sword?

With trembling hands as well as legs, he picked up a glass of water and drank quickly.

Seeing that the water was sweet, it seemed that I was quite thirsty.

While I was drinking water, Wi Seol-ah took a towel and wiped my sweaty hair.

It was meaningless because I had to wash it once anyway, but I was grateful.

“thanks.”

“Can I get you some more water?”

“No, no water.”

He struggled to move his throbbing arms and lifted himself up.

As I groaned and sat down on the floor, Wiseol-ah put his shoulder on me.

“what… ?”

“You can look forward to it!”

“to you?”

“yes!”

Did it seem too difficult… ?

you’re leaning on yourself

I tease Wi Seol-ah every day for being plump and round, but on the outside, I was skinny.

It looks so delicate that you don’t know if it will fly away if you tap it.

Of course, the brute force for household chores sometimes shown with such a body was incomprehensible.

It was such a coward, so I was just passing it on.

I leaned forward a little, but as expected, Wi Seol-ah did not shake.

What a strange body.

[Is it good?]

I almost burst into laughter at Shinnoya’s words.

Are you good?

Hearing that, I quietly looked at Wi Seol-ah.

Wi Seol-ah was still looking at the pond in the residence with the same expression as usual.

Are the koi in the pond strange?

‘I bet you don’t think you want to eat it, do you?’

To say no, I was anxious because there was something I usually said.

I’m not really going to eat it though…

… is not it?

As I kept watching while leaning over, Wiseol-ah turned her head and looked at me.

Wi Seol-ah, who met my eyes, immediately smiled brightly.

The half-moon-shaped eye smile and the beautifully upturned corners of the mouth instantly turned her hair white.

Because they were so close, the smile was clear and touched.

‘… After all, the face is a weapon.’

Should the cotton thread be put on now, not years later?

Even with the clothes on from start to finish, it was this much, but it was even more so because I knew what it would be like when I grew up.

I can’t keep Wi Seol-ah in my arms forever.

Aside from being beautiful, in many ways.

So it was questionable.

What are you thinking?

Geomson and my father.

“young master.”

“yes?”

I answered the call, but I can’t hear the next words.

Wi Seol-ah called me and just looked at me.

Watching it still, I felt like I was going to be sucked into obsidian-like pupils.

Why do you keep watching without saying anything?

Wi Seol-ah, who had been watching for a while, tried to open her mouth.

“Old cow… !”

Youngpoong appeared brightly.

It seems like this has happened before… .

Is it an illusion?

When Yeongpoong appeared, I raised my leaning body.

Youngpoong sees it and turns his gaze around with eyes that don’t know what to do.

“What are you doing?”

“… no, that… . sorry. I was in the way.”

“… Yes? No, I wasn’t doing anything.”

[I’ve been holding my breath until now… . That colt-like guy… .]

Even during the conversation, Youngpoong was still restless.

I thought it was because of me, but I wasn’t the one who noticed.

Do you think it’s a hypocrisy?

I was puzzled by Yeongpung’s reaction, so when I looked at Wiseolah’s face, Wiseolah was still smiling.

“stamp… ?”

“ah… Well, the training is over, but I came here to have a meal together… .”

I tilted my head at Yeongpoong’s words.

Why did you come here and leave the same disciples alone?

Don’t all writers usually eat together?

I wonder if there is something wrong.

I thought it would be okay because I had to eat anyway.

“Ah, I think I need to wash up first, but please sit down.”

First of all, there was a lot of sweat, so I needed to wash up a bit.

“Yes…?”

“You won’t have anywhere to go out, so why don’t you stay for a while?”

“No, I’ll lie down on the ground or climb a tree and rest. Come out slowly and quickly.”

“… Are they all extreme and contradictory?”

Why are you babbling like that?

“Anyway, please sit down and wait. I will be back soon.”

“sleep… !”

It sounded like Youngpoong was calling from behind, but since I was hungry, I wanted to go wash up quickly, so I ran all of a sudden.

‘Young Poong’s condition is strange today.’

Have you gone crazy from practicing too much?

That was the most probable word.

I was on my way to wash up, but suddenly Shinnoya brought up the story of Weirdness.

[…] Did you not see the girl’s expression?]

“A look on your face?”

[Maybe his eyes are knotholes, so he can’t see properly either.]

What do you mean?

When I saw it, it seemed like they were laughing, but what the hell was Shin Noya looking at?

[…] Or did you intentionally not see it? He looked like a puppy, but he was much more like a fox than I thought.]

What is this old man talking about… ?

This time, as usual, he must have just said something strange, and laughed it off.

No matter how you look at it, Wiseol-ah doesn’t feel like a fox.
