<Episode 279>Winter Rain. (2)
Thud… thud.
Raindrops are falling outside the window.
The sky must have been bright just a few days ago.
Now it was full of dark clouds, blocking the sun.
The air, which should be cold and crisp, feels somewhat damp.
It means that it doesn’t go well with winter.
Tuk-tu-tuk
I quietly watched the rain flowing outside the window.
It wasn’t a heavy rain, but more like a shower.
If it rains for several days, is it really a shower?
Thinking about it made me laugh out loud.
“What kind of rain is it in winter?”
Even as he speaks, you can see steam coming out of his mouth.
It’s raining in this weather.
I wonder how it happened.
Knock knock.
I watched the rain fall for a long time.
I reached out and closed the window.
I was already feeling gloomy, so I couldn’t just look at the damn weather.
After closing the window and relaxing my stiff body.
Only then did I sigh in relief.
ah….
The reason why my body is so tired.
It’s probably not because I’ve been practicing in the past.
Since there wasn’t much space to practice, I didn’t practice very hard.
Even recently, I have been focusing only on mental training to reach the state of enlightenment.
Yet the reason I feel so tired is none other than this.
Currently staying in the same guest house.
It was because of the siblings that it rained.
‘•••Tsk.’
When I think of the men on my brother’s side, I get a headache.
‘I’d rather lose, you idiot.’
Just thinking about it makes my head spin.
The other day, when I met the traitor Biju and Bijin at the inn.

He greeted me right away and said,
-I’ve heard a lot from the teacher.
‘•••Fuck.’
This is what Biyi Jin implicitly tells me that he is the disciple of the fallen one.
The problem is.
Paejon is not the master of Biyijin.
That is himself.
‘I can’t reveal my identity, so I guess that’s what I’m saying.’
First of all, I am a loser.
Are you the guy who claims to be my disciple?
It can’t come out the same way.
I’m going to say it like this.
Whatever it was.
It’s not a pleasant thing for me.
Anyway, in the end, it’s no different from facing defeat.
The only questionable thing is…
What do you want from me?’
I have a feeling that Pajeon wants something from me.
This was also something I didn’t know much about.
Not only that, I never really had a proper conversation with him in the first place.
He was a person who almost killed me in his previous life, so it’s strange that I know so much about him.
“Hmm… .
For now, he’s just watching me.
The point is that it doesn’t show much movement.
There.
‘Because she’s my little sister.’
The thing is, next to Paejon, there is a person who calls herself his younger sister.
I think her name was Vivi.
It seems like he is the youngest blood relative born in Bija.
The defeated have become difficult as they have gone through the process of transformation.
If the character Vivi isn’t like that either.
There is absolutely no chance that the two are siblings.
But.
She must be a granddaughter or great-granddaughter.
The woman named Vivi seemed to believe that Paejon was her brother.

If that’s not acting.
It must mean that Pajeon is acting.
‘Is that also the reason why he can be called the son of the rain god?’
In the first place, even the fallen Biju was born from rain.
It’s not strange that it belongs to the rain family.
For this to be possible, the current head of the household must also be present.
It meant that he was aware of the state of the defeat.
Hiding the weakened body.
This would be the optimal state for protection while building strength.
‘No matter what, it’s still a review index.’
What is a grown man doing in a place where children are playing?
Aren’t you embarrassed? If it were me, I would bite my tongue and die in embarrassment… .
cue,,
As I was thinking about it, I unconsciously brushed this forehead aside.
It was because I realized that I was in no position to tell others.
“Q-wave disease.”
What does he want from me?
Or I don’t know what you plan to do with me.
Whatever it was.
When Pajeon tried to do something to me, I had only one thing to say.
‘•••I have to sell the elders.’
…
… .
!
I’m selling it and it’s going to be a waste.
It’ll be okay, since it happened because of the things that that human put on me in the first place.
If there’s a difference, you can just jump.
Do you think Sega will chase you?
If you chase after me… .
It’ll work out somehow.
“after.”
I took a deep breath and looked to the side.
I move my hand slightly, and the fluttering hair catches my fingertips. The pure white hair feels like silk.
It’s already well past noon.
This sleeper seems to still be swimming in dreamland.

“Can we go now?”
It’s definitely not a small voice.
There was not even a hint of movement from Namgungbi, who was asleep.
By the way, this is my room.
Namgungbia’s room is next door.
When I woke up late, this was happening next to me.
I watched Namgungbi like that with incredulous eyes.
Finally, he roughly patted my head and got up.
I have to tell you a hundred times and wake you up.
I won’t wake up unless I wake up myself.
The time so far has been enough to tell you.
In times like these, it’s best to just grow up and let it go.
I’m leaving behind that Namgungbi Ah.
Went out of the room.
“Ah, Your Majesty!”
As soon as I went out of the room, the first person I encountered was Dang So-yeol.
Her hair is damp, as if she just washed it.
Tang So-yeol noticed my gaze and smiled bashfully as he stroked my hair.
“I just finished training…!”
By the way, you are making excuses.
That was unexpected.
“Did you practice in the rain?”
“Yes? Ah… Yes. Because I have to work hard.”
The slightly smiling appearance somehow looks a bit mature.
‘That’s unexpected.’
It was natural for Tang Xiaoyeol to also practice martial arts.
I didn’t know you were working that hard.
Besides, I can see that the body and breathing are still rough.
It looked like he had been training quite intensely.
‘Come to think of it, it seems like Dang So-yeol doesn’t have much time left.’
The very end of first class.
That was the current level of Tang So-yeol.
In reality, there are monsters like Geomryong and Namgungbia around who are at their peak at a young age.
If he was at the level of Dang So-yeol, he could easily be called a genius.
There are many people who reach first-class status by the time others become second-class citizens.

Perhaps, Dang So-yeol himself.
Because I know it won’t be long before I get over the wall.
That must be what’s spurring such efforts.
Looking at that, I feel proud of myself for having dragged Gujeolyeop from the middle of the first class to the very end.
‘I need to roll it some more.’
I felt a little better because it seemed like I now had a reason to continue to run Gujeolyeop steadily.
“Oh, Your Majesty.”
“huh?”
“Do you know where Sister Via is?”
cue,,
I had to hide my surprise at Dang So-yeol’s words.
“Why is he…?”
“Oh, I was thinking about practicing together… I can’t see you. I was wondering if you, Confucius, might know…”
“ ”
If it’s Namgungbia, it’s hard to say, “He’s sleeping in my bed right now.”
Because it was a statement that was clearly open to misunderstanding by anyone.
Eventually, I had to lie.
“I wonder if he’s sleeping somewhere again?”
I’m not sleeping.
In my room.
“I guess so? Anyway, I heard you sleep a lot… .”
“•••Uh, yeah.
99
“Oh, and Your Majesty, Lady Bi was asking if she and Princess Bi would like to have a meal together later. By any chance…”
“Mi-an, I think I’ll be hungry then.”
“Yes, I haven’t told you the time yet…?”
“I feel a little unwell.”
“Oh, I understand… .”
I’m secretly worried that Dang So-yeol will make a sullen expression at my rejection.
There was no choice.
If I ate there, I would feel like I was going to throw up.
I’ve had offers like this a few times already.
I’ve been trying hard to avoid it for the past few days.
Dang So-yeol pursed his lips and made an expression that showed he was very dissatisfied.
That wouldn’t change my answer though.
Advertisements
I wonder if Dang So-yeol knows that too, so he probably won’t say anything more.
“I understand… .
“Your pronunciation has become strange?”
“No… and lastly, Confucius.”
“What else is there?”
What kind of deal is that with so much to say?
“It’s nothing special… I heard that Lady Gu has been practicing hard.”
“huh?
I had to make a subtle expression at the name that suddenly popped up.
Why is Guyeonseo’s name suddenly coming out of his mouth?
“My older sister?”
Did Dang So-yeol have a word with Gu Yeon-seo?
Why are you suddenly talking about Guyeonseo?
Leaving my doubts aside.
Dang So-yeol continues speaking.
“Yes. He was already practicing when I got there. He was still practicing when I finished.”
“Ugh…” Egeug •
It’s a story I didn’t know because I didn’t really pay much attention to it.
Is it because I don’t go out to practice?
Here, I frowned slightly at Dang So-yeol.
It’s because I was a little curious as to why I brought this up now.
That makes sense.
Because in Dang So-yeol’s eyes now, there was somehow sympathy.
“I’m sorry for going off topic.”
Tang So-yeol immediately lowered his head and spoke.
That was a confession, implying the same meaning as I expected.
If Dang So-yeol were to say something like that, I had a feeling that something was strange.
Because I can’t tell anyone else.
I guess you’re talking to me, a blood relative.
I had to squint one eye slightly when I heard that.
Because I felt uneasy.
Then I asked Dang So-yeol.
“… The apology is enough. Where is that?”
I thought I would have to go and see for myself first.
If you go a little bit behind the inn, you will come across a wide field.
Advertisements
It feels artificial, as if it were a field created by clearing away all the trees that were there.
Have you done anything in particular since then?
It was a wide plain with a good shape for training.
Of course, it was wide open and we weren’t the only people there.
It was a place where it was somewhat difficult to train in Dokmun martial arts.
It’s even raining, so it’s not a completely good feeling.
Through the pouring rain.
I took a step.
After walking for a while, I see a young woman practicing in the distance.
The closer you get, the more you feel the warmth.
It was clearly Guga’s.
As soon as you feel it, you frown and raise your spirits.
It was to check if there were other people around.
Fortunately, there was no other sign of movement that could be detected.
Phew!
As I look with relief, a breath of heat passes through the tip of my nose.
Guyeonseo was making movements that clearly radiated heat.
Shhhhh!
The blade cuts through the rain, leaving a sword mark in the air.
grasp.
Guyeonseo’s uniform fluttered wildly.
Clap! The tips of his feet stamped on the wet ground with a sound.
As if continuing the movement, Gu Yeon-seo swings her sword diagonally once more.
I stopped walking when I saw that.
I looked at the oral history from a distance.
‘Ugh, = –
I just took a quick look at it though.
I vaguely thought I knew why Dang So-yeol had told me about Gu Yeon-seo.
Even to others, Gu Yeon-seo had problems.
‘It’s shaking.’
The tip of the sword is not calm
I have no faith in the arm that holds the sword.
A bet that tries too hard to build up heat just doesn’t catch the flow.
It seems like he’s not even able to exert his original strength.
Simma.

Gu Yeon-seo was now obsessed with the mind.
How much more serious would it be for a second-rate unmanned person to be trapped in a dungeon?
Because even if you try, it’s only second-rate.
If you get stuck in a swamp like that, there is no answer.
Gu Yeon-seo’s gestures were full of anxiety.
That’s probably the cause of the anxiety.
I frowned at that.
‘Since when?’
Since when on earth did it start?
Gu Yeon-seo ended up in that situation.
If she had been left alone, Gu Yeon-seo would have been known as the Hongyeon Sword and would have become a promising heroine.
Was I in a similar situation around this time in my past life?
It won’t be.
So then why did it turn out like that?
‘Is it because of me?’
There was only one answer.
If there is a cause, it would be me.
‘Tsk.’
It’s something I didn’t pay attention to, using the excuse of being busy with this and that.
In reality, there were times when I couldn’t pay attention because accidents kept happening one after another.
There were also things I just left alone because I didn’t want to think about them.
Rather than filling and mending the emotional rift.
It’s more convenient not to go.
Could that be the reason?
Before I knew it, Guyeonseo was stuck in a swamp.
I was struggling to get out of there.
‘It’s annoying.’
It happened because of me.
It’s always shit no matter when it comes.
Even now, the swamp of Guyeonseo.
It wasn’t something I could solve.
It’s like rolling a leaf and rolling it, somehow grabbing the hair and pulling it up.
It is literally a verse, so it is possible.
Rather than a difference in talent.
It’s a matter of temperament.
Advertisements
It’s the difference in my relationship with you.
After pulling out the oral history book like a phrasebook,
If you force it.
The realm will rise.
Maybe it’ll make you stronger than before.
‘That won’t work.’
If I pull it out with my own hands.
Even if Guyeonseo could escape from the mind for a moment now,
There will be marks and scars.
It was obvious that this would not be fixed and would only get bigger.
Then what should we do?
In the pouring rain.
Gu Yeon-seo was still swinging her sword.
I just watched, keeping my distance so as not to be detected.
‘…’
Tang So-yeol seemed to think that he could solve this problem.
This is none of my business.
This is especially true for her.
One, I was going to take responsibility.
If another human were to do that.
I would have kicked him in the face once, sworn once, and then ignored him.
I felt a certain sense of guilt towards Gu Yeon-seo.
The time you slapped me after hearing what I said to you in Kowloon?
‘That was to be expected.’
I have no regrets about that.
Who told you to be so pissed?
By my standards, it was okay to get beaten up.
Of course, there are things I wish I had endured a little more, but what can I do since it’s already been done?
Still.
In my eyes, she was still being trampled.
-I hate you.
Embracing Guhee Bi’s cold body.
Hongyeongeom Guyeonseo, who was pointing her sword at me.
It was because it remained in my mind and could not be erased.
“Tsk.”
Advertisements
I turned around to leave the field.
Gu Yeon-seo’s mind is quite dark, and I may not be able to solve it.
fortunately.
Right now, the person who was just right to solve that problem was staying on this piece of land.
At a slightly faster pace.
The place I headed to was not the inn where I was staying, but a place somewhat further away.
“Huh…? Gusohyeop?”
I went inside the guest house to find the sound.
Yeongpung and the others, who were eating at the time, looked at me with surprised eyes.
“Youngpoong Dojo.”
“What brings you here…? Oh! Would you like to train with me…?”
Yeongpung speaks as if he is possessed by a god.
That wasn’t my intention.
“Where is your majesty the sword?”
At my question, which was interrupted by a pause.
Yeongpung’s face instantly turned into disappointment.
