162 – EP.7 Flame Ring-2

***

The news of Yeom Jin’s death changed his daily life.

Soyou couldn’t even shout that he would avenge his teacher.

It was because a tsunami named loss engulfed a flame named anger at the death of the teacher whom he had followed like a parent.

Maybe, would it have been better to run amok on the road to get revenge?

Inho thought.

After hearing the news of Yeomjin, Soyou collapsed.

Like an electronic device that has been turned off, thump.

There was no warning about the action.

In-ho took the money in his pocket and called the doctor.

The doctor checked her pulse and prescribed several decoctions.

But even so, it didn’t show much improvement, and In-ho continued to visit the clinic, but the word came back that there was nothing he could solve because it was caused by psychological reasons.

“……”

In-ho put a towel in and out of the cold water and wringed it out.

Gently, I put my hand on Soyou’s forehead, and it looked like a ball of fire.

On the third day, the fever has not gone down.

In-ho’s heart felt heavy as he watched So-you mumble and sweat.

“Damrule Gong or what… He’s still a kid.”

He is my teacher who has not yet reached adulthood by Korean standards.

He understood very well that no matter how hard he went through, he was not at the age to understand loss properly.

Even he, who had lived in the original world for over 30 years, was not accustomed to loss.

He wiped her sweat with another towel.

Despite his care, Soyou showed no signs of opening her eyes.

waiting without promise.

Thinking that his work was almost finished, Inho opened the door and came out.

He sat on the floor and stared blankly up at the sky.

The moon that had risen in vain was brightening the world.

“I’m running out of money.”

Calling the councilor and finding a room to lay Soyou down, he had almost exhausted his money.

After a few more days like this, the travel expenses will run out.

situation to work.

Inho was thinking of finding something that wouldn’t take too long.

I also thought about what to do. It was scheduled to be delivered at the market.

If you use the foot method, you will be able to digest a large number of deliveries quickly and accurately.

Of course, some will criticize him, saying that it is not something a person who has learned martial arts should do.

However, it was not the time to cover hot and cold rice.

“…If the ambassador is about to be beaten, then who the hell is it?”

Grand Master Yeom Jin is not a weak soldier who can be easily defeated by someone.

Since the messenger from Maeng gave so little information, Inho had many questions about the death of the ambassador.

[Yeomjin. death.] and the information that he was killed by the Safa faction, which he had a grudge against.

There were too few clues.

“Come to think of it, I’ve only heard of Sapa, but I’ve never heard of anything else.”

As if realizing it now, Inho hit his knee.

He recalled a martial arts novel he had read as a pastime.

“……”

He stared at the unanswered sky.

Not enough to look up, he lay down on the floor and closed his eyes for a moment.

I was tired.

mentally and physically.

Ever since I nursed Soyou, I haven’t slept properly.

“Let’s just sleep for 30 minutes. If we want to go to work tomorrow…”

He murmured, not resisting the approaching demons.

Is it because I slept lightly?

he had a dream

As if there was a crack in the sky, there was a crack in the clear sky.

Five cracks like glass windows on the verge of breaking.

Something was coming out of that crack.

“…hey.”

“Hoya….”

“In-ho…”

He heard a voice calling his name from afar.

very small.

However, In-ho did not miss that small voice.

It was thanks to the keenly trained senses while living in the camp.

“…!”

Raising his upper body, he looked around.

“In-ho…”

Soyou’s voice was heard from inside the door, and Inho slammed the door in.

“Master!”

In a room barely lit by moonlight.

He opened his eyes and saw Soyou looking at him.

“Are you awake?”

Possession occurred within 3 days.

“how much….”

Hearing the muddy cracking sound, In-ho handed over the water he had placed next to him.

After swallowing the water In-ho gave him, So-yu spoke to him in a slightly clearer voice than before.

“How long has it been?”

Perhaps, he was asking about the time he was lying down.

“Three days.”

“It’s… not that long. I thought I was bedridden for about a month.”

Soyou laughed hard.

“Wait a minute, Master. I’ll check your fever.”

Inho put his hand on her forehead.

A significant drop in body temperature. It was the first time the fever had gone down in such a short period of time.

“I’m fine. I haven’t eaten anything, so I’m just a little weak.”

Turning her arms around, she appealed that Soyou was okay.

“By the way. You did a great job nursing the sick. You’re the only one.”

The words ‘there is only you’ seemed to have many meanings.

“You need to rest for a few more days first.”

In-ho said, wondering if he might have hurt himself.

“Yes, I understand. If you rest, you should rest.”

Soyou meekly agreed with Inho’s words.

“It’s a bit fortunate though.”

Maybe it was because his worries were lessened, Inho said as he rubbed his chest.

“Which one?”

“I have to go to the market tomorrow. I was worried about leaving Master here.

“Work? Mayor?”

Soyou tilts his head.

In-ho didn’t feel any discomfort at the vague question.

“Oh, I’m running out of money for travel, so I need to earn some money. I ended up spending some money staying here.”

“therefore?”

“So while Master recovers, I’m going to go to the market and do a little delivery work…”

“therefore?”

“…Master?”

At the strange reaction, Inho looked at Soyou again.

There was no life in her eyes in the moonlight.

“So, where are you going to leave me?”

Shaking his head slightly to the side, the owner asked.

“……”

Seeing that gloomy figure, Inho shut his mouth.

“Are you going to leave me too?”

When In-ho tries to answer So-you’s question.

rattle.

The door closed by itself.

– Swoop

As Soyu, drenched in sweat, grabbed Inho’s shoulder and pushed him back as he pulled away the blanket.

Losing his balance, In-ho lay down on the floor, and So-you, who climbed on top of him, pressed his face against his chest.

“Don’t go anywhere. As long as you… stay by my side.”

“Master, it’s really a while. If you only work in the morning…”

“No, never leave. You just need to stay by my side. That’s enough for me. The only thing left for me is you. I will never let you leave my side. Never. Never. Never. I will never let go of you. “If you run away, I will cut off your leg. So don’t talk, stick by my side. From the beginning of the day to the end of the day.”

“Master…”

For some reason, In-ho felt that his master’s internal energy had become stronger.
