<Episode 236> Frontline. (5)
As the sun set and the glow passed, night came.
A cool breeze passes through the forest of wires.
When the shallow moon rises in the sky and soaks the ground.
Sarajevo
Under the dense light, Mo Yong-hee walked along the forest path.
The weather is gradually getting warmer.
Still, Mo Yong-hee’s clothes were thick.
Aside from that, the bright white skin was still cold.
Unlike last year, it had transformed into a body that knew warmth.
The night breeze that had been cold now felt like a pleasant breeze.
Little by little, very little by little.
Mo Yong-hee closes her eyes and feels the wind.
“I heard you called.”
Someone carefully approaches Mo Yong-hee Ah and spits out words.
The opponent was surprisingly Gujeolyeop.
At the sound of the bell, Mo Yong-hee opened her eyes and examined Gujeol-yeop.
Gujeol-yeop looked somewhat tired and slightly sweaty.
“I guess you were training.”
“I was just… loosening up a bit.”
While answering, Gujeol-yeop slightly avoids Mo Yong-hee’s sharp gaze.
If I had to pick the most difficult person here, it would be Gujeolyeop.
The first one is the devil.
The second is the princess, Daeju.
The third one is the Seolbong peak right in front of you, so I will pick it.
‘•••Whew.’
Look at it now.
With his mouth covered by a fan.
In the darkness seeping through the moonlight, Seolbong’s sky-blue eyes shine coldly.
For some reason, the two eyes of Seolbong that Gujeolyeop faced were accompanied by fear.
‘Does Confucius know?’
When Seolbong looks at others, his eyes mostly look like that.
Constantly judging the worth of others.
Constantly check whether it is helpful or harmful to you.
While wondering what right I have to judge the worth of others.

Her unique aura made it seem like nothing happened.
Among the blood relatives of the noble family that Gujeolyeop knows.
The person who most lives up to the name of a noble family was Seolbong.
‘I don’t know why a woman like that would do that to a certain man.’
Funny enough.
Not only the cold gaze, but also the lofty atmosphere unique to Seolbong that makes it unapproachable.
In front of the one who is a Confucius, it disappears as if it never existed in the first place.
‘I guess only the poor in this land don’t know that.’
Gujeol-yeop let out a quiet sigh and fixed his disheveled clothes through the rain.
“•••May I ask why Lady Moyong has come to see me?”
“Oh, it’s nothing serious.”
Smile.
Mo Yong-hee smiles faintly while looking at Gujeol-yeop.
It was a captivating smile that would have definitely been attractive in the past.
Now that I think about it, for some reason it was just scary.
“Don’t we have something to talk about?”
Seol Bong speaks in a voice that is unusually gentle.
Gujeolyeop could tell.
The very act of letting out that voice.
That it’s a more frightening situation.
“That’s… what do you mean… .”
“I saved you, didn’t I?”
“•••!”
The mouth that Seolbong’s horse was trying to speak with is tightly shut.
Seol Bong continued speaking separately.
“It’s the unmanned Maeng. Did you leave it there on purpose? Did you know I would come?”
“•••That is….”
“Even the Hot Sword has some weaker aspects than you might think.”
Got caught.
This is the part where I wrote a number because I didn’t want to get hit.
It seemed that Mo Yong-hee noticed it right away.
‘You came even though you knew that?’
Actually, I escaped thanks to Mo Yong-hee’s help.
I guess it’s true that you came even though you knew.
While Gujeol-yeop hides his shaking pupils and the cold sweat.

“I did it because I had some free time and it was nice to see Confucius’ face.”
Phalang.
Mo Yong-hee approached Gu Jul-yeop while slightly shaking the fan she was holding.
“If you think about it, if there’s a going, there has to be a coming back, right?”
“I don’t really understand what you’re talking about….”
“If you don’t know, should I go to the Duke of Gu and tell him what Yeolhyeopgeom did?”
“I will risk my life to achieve what you desire.”
“It’s always nice to see passionate swordsmen.”
At the faint smile once more, Gujeol-yeop swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
“…What on earth do you want from me?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. If it was the original… I thought I wouldn’t need this, but I saw it earlier and it doesn’t work.”
“yes ?”
“•••I knew you were such a clueless person, but after spending time with you, you’re even worse.”
Caught.
He couldn’t see it because his face was covered by a fan.
I could clearly hear the sound of something chewing from beyond the fan.
Of course, Gujeol-yeop pretended not to hear it.
Mo Yong-hee, whose expression changed quickly.
He speaks to Gujeolyeop with the same charming smile as before.
“I wish you could help me out, Master Yeolhyeopgeom. It’s not a difficult task. It’s something you can definitely do.”
“•••If you, by any chance, refuse… what will happen…?”
“Are you curious?”
I brought it out just in case.
I felt a cold air from somewhere.
Although it wasn’t as cold as Guyangcheon, it was a chilling cold enough for Gujeolyeop, who had the heat inside his body, to feel.
“I hope you’re not curious.”
Looking at Mo Yong-hee, who was speaking with a smile on her face.
Gujeol-yeop nodded his head slightly.
‘… I need to change the ranking.’
I was sure.
They say that woman is more dangerous than the devil.
One year on the last front.
It wasn’t a very good time.
For a political party member, the front line is, in some ways, the place they most hate to come to.
Among them, the places where the Googae Five Swordsmen were active were close to the center.
Advertisements
The year I spent rolling around there wasn’t exactly a harmonious time, to say the least.
Parsac.
After the sun sets and night comes.
I walked through the forest with light steps.
The forest was so thick with dust that it was hard to breathe.
As of now, it hasn’t had much of an effect on the body.
Rather, it absorbed the unique energy emitted by the monsters and changed them into more active ones.
It is right not to get used to this kind of power.
Conversely, it is true that it also helps in regulating.
[Crrrrr…]
Especially, have you been sleeping less lately?
It also helps me a lot in dealing with this damn beast that wakes up every now and then and starts complaining about food.
‘Why are you talking about food as soon as you wake up? I fed you earlier.’
[Crunch…]
Because the magic gate just opened around the forest.
I moved around and caught the monsters and fed them all at once.
He’s already got hungry and is getting angry because he’s digested the food.
‘No, I’m not hungry. I just want to overeat. Right?’
[•••Kkureung.]
One that can last for several weeks or months after feeding it once.
This is because I fed him a lot recently.
‘If you keep coming out like this, I won’t be able to give you what you were giving me.’
I said that with a hint of annoyance.
The cries of the guy who had been mumbling continuously became as silent as a ghost.
I clicked my tongue inwardly while looking at that.
‘You have to get angry to understand.’
Whether human or animal.
The answer was a hawk.
Bam-!
He lightly stepped on a branch and launched himself into the air.
As time passed, the body became stronger and larger than before.
Maybe it’s because the energy in my body is different, but I feel infinitely light.
“Since you ate like that, it’s only natural that it should be like this.”
I entered the front line and ate all the energy the monster had.
Things can’t be like they used to be. Yeah.
Of course, it’s not just about energy.
Yes, let’s find out what’s different from before.
First of all, the purification of magic was much faster than before.
Advertisements
Prevents the magic energy that enters the body from running wild.
It also helps to purify the energy.
It’s the nine-pointed-point fire wheel that’s circulating in my body.
Is it because I ate so much magic during this time?
The speed at which the magic energy in the body was purified was much faster than before.
‘This is also a martial art. Does it mean that the more you use it, the more you learn?’
Even though I think it’s such a stupid thing to say.
Other than that, there wasn’t anything that particularly came to mind.
‘I don’t know.’
The baby beast inside your body is second to none.
Why can the Nine-Year-Old Man Purify Demonic Energy?
It’s better to be good than bad, but it’s better to be good than bad.
Still, there was one thing I couldn’t understand.
The realm is rising.
As the bowl gets bigger, fill it with more filling.
I |
… .
.
.
The overflowing bet seeps into the flesh again.
Through long periods of repetition, we refine and reach a higher level.
Repeating that tedious and arduous process.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this.
‘•••The tenant is always hungry.’
The one who is hiding deep in the danjeon.
Not in any other specific space.
Moreover, it is not in the power of the Heavenly Demon’s Magic Absorption.
I thought that maybe it was in the Nine Flames Lun Gong.
A presence that can be felt subtly in the bet.
Somehow it makes me think that way.
[Crung…?]
‘I know what you’re talking about. Anyway.’
Not much is known about the guy.
The day it closed last year.
All I knew then was the bastard’s ‘name’.
Why on earth is it in my body?
Advertisements
Control the energy that seeps into your body at will.
Also, I wonder if I am knowingly or unknowingly controlling my body so that it doesn’t break down.
I still couldn’t figure it out.
That’s why I have to end this fucking bedfellow quickly.
‘I wonder when Shin Noya will wake up.’
It’s been over a year already.
Even soon it will be summer.
This means that the period during which Noya was supposed to sleep is slowly coming to an end.
“Tzu uh,•
There, I’m slowly starting to stop being on the front lines.
The time was coming when we had to go back to the three houses.
‘I could have gone back earlier.’
Funny enough, seeing as how they were able to contain and stop the incident that broke out half a year ago.
However, the penalty for staying on the front lines was withdrawn.
I had personally sent a letter to my father informing him that I would remain at the front lines.
‘Because there’s still work to be done.’
At that time, when sending a letter, did you send it saying that it was something that should be done as a blood relative of the family?
I almost died from embarrassment while sending it.
As a blood relative, it’s my ass.
I’m so busy living that I’m dying, what’s the big deal?
There is also a reason why I hold back and roll around even though I could have escaped from the front line earlier.
In the end, it was my fault.
Of course, rolling the leaves was more fun than I thought.
‘This too is almost over.’
It will be a month or less.
If my prediction is correct.
Tuttuk!
It took a while for me to quickly run through the air and take steps.
I can feel the presence of others in the distance.
The number is roughly about fifteen.
Among the crowd, each and every one of them was a well-trained, unmanned being.
Two people in particular feel particularly outstanding.
One of them had a burning aura.
Another one had a brain that was eerily sharp.
‘It looks like there’s nothing wrong.’
Advertisements
After confirming that the energy had stabilized, I let out a small sigh.
It looks like there are no injuries anywhere.
Please organize your expression appropriately.
He leapt lightly and leapt into the approaching crowd.
Bam-!
“oh.
The person at the very front let out a cheer as he saw me arrive.
“You must have missed your little brother and sister a lot. That’s why you came running here in such a hurry.”
A woman who smiles brightly and spits out words that sound like dog food.
This was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Hee-bi, the first of the Six Dragons and Three Peaks.
“It gives me goosebumps as soon as I see it.”
The black hair blowing in the wind still looks good.
The flesh’s hidden bets are becoming darker.
A gait that seems to walk roughly gives off a sense of shallow anticipation.
This was evidence that Goo Hee-bi had become stronger over the past year.
“Nothing happened while you were away, right?”
“Nothing much happened. Maybe some guy went out and picked up another person?”
Do you understand what I mean?
A wrinkle appeared between Gu Hee-bi’s eyebrows.
“•••also?”
“also.,,
“He’s really polarizing. He brings someone back every time he goes out. Should I have an interview with him after a long time?”
As I watched Gu Hee-bi speak as if she was having fun, I had to cheer Gu Jeol-yeop up in my heart.
I’m going to harass and bully you more.
Thanks to that, he should also know that Gu Hee-bi is not rolling the Gujeol-yeop herself.
‘If he knew that, he’d be less likely to tease me.’
In my opinion, Gujeol-yeop was an ungrateful person.
Tsk tsk… .
He personally stepped forward and raised the bar.
I worry that you might get lonely, so I talk to you sometimes.
If something happens, he steps in and takes care of it.
‘Why does that kid get so nervous whenever he sees me?’
In my time, you know.
You shouldn’t have treated your benefactor like that…
When I think about it, it’s annoying?
Advertisements
‘I guess I’ll have to increase the rolling intensity.’
When I go back, I’ll have to double it.
“I was very touched. My younger brother came to pick me up in the middle of the night.”
“Because it was finally my turn.”
“Are you embarrassed?”
“•••Sister, did you hurt your head?”
The body looked fine.
At that point, I thought maybe he had a serious head injury.
“I’ll say it again… It’s just my turn… .”
Ttukbuk.
My mouth, which was about to speak, closes in annoyance.
It felt like the wind that had been blowing for a moment had stopped.
All it takes is the sound of a woman’s footsteps.
The people in the group moved their bodies to give the woman some distance to walk comfortably.
As if making a road.
The wind that had stopped blows again.
The moonlight shines brightly, illuminating the woman approaching.
The blue and white hair that received the light shines softly as if embracing the moon.
It’s beautiful.
It was as if humans had been created with the word beautiful.
cue,,
I just quietly look at that woman.
Move your gaze and examine the woman from head to toe.
Even though it was a journey full of battles, her hair was undamaged and shined even brighter.
The uniform of the old man who was supposed to be comfortable to move around in was not wanted at all.
Well, it almost felt like I hadn’t fought a battle.
The faint feeling of thunder running down her shoulders clearly indicated that the woman was going into battle with all her might.
‘I guess so.’
That’s why so many people were able to return without a single injury.
The woman approached me with a blank expression on her face.
When I met his eyes, which were blue as if they were embracing the sea.
I opened my mouth too.
It’s a really crude question, contrary to the feelings contained within.
Even I think it’s just a trivial thing to say.
The woman who heard my words took a step closer.
Advertisements
A gaze that was at eye level just right.
Before I knew it, my position had changed to one where I could look down.
The woman slowly opens her mouth to answer my question.
“•••I didn’t eat… .”
It’s a really short and somewhat awkward way of speaking.
“I told you to eat before you move.”
“…sorry….”
“When you get back, eat some food. I left some for you.”
“huh….”
One step closer.
What a truly gentle step.
And the unknown scent of flowers brushes the tip of your nose.
Why is that?
The flower that I thought had bloomed a long time ago.
As time passed, it bloomed more and more brilliantly.
It’s to a level that I can’t even dare to handle.
The woman came close enough to touch.
Bow your head slightly.
Her hair was fluttering and moving, and the woman’s crown came into view.
cue,,
It’s just a random action.
I knew why she was doing this to me.
Because it’s one habit that’s become particularly strong over the past few months.
I was mindful of the strange stares from those behind me.
As if he had no other choice, he raised his hand and placed it on the woman’s head, carefully stroking it.
The hair felt still soft at my fingertips.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“•••huh.”
Adding some insignificant words.
I took my hand away, feeling embarrassed.
The woman, Lady Namgung, raises her head again.
“…eww”
Eg •
When we made eye contact, I had to swallow my saliva slightly.
It was because Namgung Bi, who was facing the gaze, was smiling.
Advertisements
“I told you not to laugh so recklessly.”
“huh…?”
“I told you not to go and laugh like that. That’s a weapon.”
Namgungbia’s appearance was enough to fit the weapon.
That’s a pretty strong weapon, too.
Namgungbia responds as if she feels a bit wronged by what I say.
“•••Where did you go and not laugh… .”
“What is it now then?”
“•••It’s in front of you… .” “”
I asked for nothing.
I felt a strange heat rising in my ears, so I turned my head and looked back the way I had come.
“…let’s go back.”
Because I was just sitting still.
I’m scratching the back of my head because of the ticklish feeling.
-You’re being annoying. You’re being annoying. “”
A little further behind, someone could be heard muttering.
It was clearly Gu Hee-bi’s voice.
I heard it all though.
I tried to ignore it and walked on.
