<Episode 280>Winter Rain. (3)
I already knew that Geom-hu was staying at the inn.
All of these guest houses were occupied by the Hwasanpa, and the surrounding area was filled with pottery.
Because among them, the strongest pottery was vaguely felt.
“I didn’t know you would come to me in person • • •.”
As I went to the room following Youngpung’s instructions, Geomhu greeted me with surprised eyes.
He made a few small talk like, “How are you?”
I got straight to the point.
Because I didn’t want to drag it out.
After hearing what I said, Geom-hu made a strange expression.
Then he starts talking with a slight smile.
“It’s an ambiguous story.”
“Ambiguous?”
“I don’t think you’re asking me to take you as my disciple… But you’re not asking me to teach your sister how to use the sword either.”
“Is that a difficult request?”
At my words, Geom-hu shakes his head.
Fortunately, that didn’t seem to be the case.
“It’s just a question.”
Even as he spoke, Geom-hu looked out the window.
It was still raining outside.
“I never thought you would write a request like that.”
someday.
As I am the benefactor who saved her body.
She gave me the excuse that she would grant my request.
I just wrote it down until now.
“You’re not asking me to solve your problem, you’re just asking me to show you the sword. Do you think that’ll be enough? From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t seem like you’re on such a low level.”
What I asked of you after the inspection was nothing else.
All I wanted was to show Guyeonseo the sword once.
“Yes, if it’s not too difficult, I would appreciate it if you would grant me that request.”
“Ugh…” Eg •
It was a request to Muin, and to Geomhu at that, to dare to unleash his sword.
It was a polite remark that got stuck in the butt.
It seemed that the request was also one that didn’t have much meaning.
“Really, is that enough? It would have been more appropriate to ask me to resolve that child’s mental problem.”
After a moment of silence following my answer,

He nods his head immediately.
“If that’s what you want, then I understand.”
“•••Thank you.”
“It’s okay. Considering what you’ve done for me, it’s shameless to let something like this slide.”
Looking at Geom-hu speaking with a smile.
Fortunately, I felt like I had regained my health.
When I think back to when my body was being consumed, I think about how badly it was damaged.
Although I probably didn’t get it all back.
Just by the vitality that can be felt, you can tell that you have recovered a lot.
The appearance of the old woman, who looked older than Maehwaseon, the eldest son of the volcano at the time.
By now, she had regained the appearance of a woman who was a little over two years old.
“Is this the end of your request?”
“Yes, I’m sorry for coming so suddenly.”
“No. Fortunately, I happened to be staying at the inn at the time.”
“Where are you going?”
“Hmm… I guess I’ll find out tomorrow, so I’d better hold back on saying anything.”
tomorrow?
If it were me, it would be the day I enter Shinryongwan?
I looked at Geom-hu, wondering what she meant, but she just smiled, not seeming to have any intention of answering.
In the meantime, Geom-hu brought up another story.
“Aren’t you going to ask about your brother?”
“I hope you are doing well. I hope Your Majesty is at peace.”
“Huh…” = •
The expression on Gumhoo’s face slightly changes, as if the answer is not satisfactory.
Is there something you don’t like?
“Sometimes you seem really sharp, but at other times you seem different.”
“yes ?”
“No, I don’t think it’s worth arguing with. Don’t worry about your request.
“I will do it before today is over.”
“thank you….”
Fortunately, the inspector agreed to my request.
Honestly, the most comfortable thing would be to ask to be accepted as a disciple.
That can’t be possible.
The situation is that Gu Ryeong-hwa has already been accepted as a disciple.
It also means becoming a disciple of the swordsman.

It means that you have to leave Sega and go into the arms of the volcano like Gureunghwa.
The oral history itself.
Because I will never go to a volcano.
From my perspective, I vaguely know what kind of desire she holds in her arms.
That was rather poisonous.
“I will go first.”
“Okay. See you tomorrow.”
“Yes? Yes.”
After bowing my head to the inspector’s greeting, I paid my respects.
I came out of the room.
When I closed the door and came out, Youngpoong was still waiting for me.
“Oh, you came out?”
“Why are you still here?”
Yeongpung’s eyes are filled with longing at my question.
I remember seeing those eyes somewhere.
‘It’s the same look you had when you came to the volcano and asked me to train with you.’
When I realized that, I couldn’t help but sigh.
It seemed like this person who was crazy about training was still the same.
I would have liked to hang out with you a little bit.
It was too much now.
Youngpoong’s expression was clearly one of disappointment at my rejection.
It didn’t seem to stick that tenaciously.
“It’s a shame… I wanted to mix it up with Guso-hyeop for the first time in a long time.”
“•••Please, don’t say things like that, which can cause a lot of misunderstandings.”
.
..
…
..
What the hell are you mixing bodies with, you crazy person.
Just imagining it gives me goosebumps.
There is a good saying, Bimu.
I don’t know why you express it like that.
O • • • 으 • •
Because I had imagined it for a moment, I felt like my insides were rotting away, so I had to run away quickly.
The purpose has been accomplished.

Since the inspector said he would accept the request.
I left the inn without staying any longer.
‘Will this work?’
As I was leaving, I had thoughts like, “Is this really okay?”
The thought that there was no better way for Gu Yeon-seo could not be erased.
If this is wrong.
At that time, it was something that could have been done in a different way.
But the uneasy feeling still remained.
I decided to just let it go for now.
‘Tomorrow is coming soon, but I’m starting to feel a little lazy.’
There are already many things to worry about.
My head was in a state of confusion.
Also about the defeat.
Also about the sleeping dragon.
Also, about the brain.
Even Shin Noya.
I had to stack up my thoughts on what to do next.
It was not easy to make the connection with an ignorant head.
Moreover, tomorrow is the day of the entrance exam for Shinryongwan.
I don’t know what kind of test they will give.
Whatever comes out.
I had to see that too, because I wasn’t going to fall.
‘You should also have time to go in and find the note, even if it isn’t right away.’
A note stuck in the basement of Shinryonggwan.
Because I don’t know the exact location and method.
This should have been kept in mind in advance as well.
and.
‘I have to find that guy too.’
The biggest reason I came to Shinryongwan.
The caveat of being underground is honestly only a minor point.
I want to know the truth.
I had to meet the giant tree again.
To meet such an old tree.
I had to head towards the Demon Realm.
There are more than one or two magic scriptures.
Advertisements
Moreover, it is not easy to find the door leading to that world.
As much as we can’t waste time.
I had to take the quickest route I knew.
‘I have to find someone who can open it.’
In a previous life.
The situation where all the followers who attended the Yongbong branch meeting were transferred to the Demon Realm all at once.
This is a disaster created by Jang Seon-yeon.
However, Jang Seon-yeon did not have the ability to open the Magic Mirror.
Even so, the reason why he was able to open a dimension and crush the later indices is.
Because there was a ‘guy’ next to Jang Seon-yeon.
‘What was your name?’
Find the loophole in the dimension.
A guy with the strange ability to open and close things with his hands.
The name was… I think it was Jegal or something.
I had to click my tongue at the name that came to mind.
‘Why did it have to be Zhuge Liang?’
These are people whose clan has already been wiped out, and only their surname remains. As of now, they are probably living with just their surname.
I have made several requests to Haomen and Gaebong.
Unlike the time of Zhuge Hyuk, it was difficult to find information.
Perhaps, he is living under an alias.
‘Will it be true this time?’
That’s all I know.
Just because I belong to this class.
It was information I could remember because I knew that he was in the same class as Jang Seon-yeon.
‘So we have to go and find it.’
I hope this doesn’t change.
I was just hoping for that.
Thud.
On the way back to my accommodation, I was hit by the falling rain all over my body.
I looked around the street.
Is it because there isn’t much time left until the entrance to Shinryonggwan?
The street I was staying on was unusually crowded.
Or carrying a sword on your waist.
When looking at the condition of the body.
Most of them were young, unmanned people.
Advertisements
Probably all of them came here to enter the Shinryongwan.
Thanks to these people who have increased significantly.
There are smiles on the lips of the merchants filling the streets.
Those who have been waiting for this day are not only the later index.
The same would apply to them.
Bam.
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Someone taps me on the shoulder and leaves an apology.
Because there were so many people, there was a lot of pushing and unnecessary contact.
This kind of complicated stuff just sucks.
I walked as if I was complaining to the sky.
“Hey, you great swordsman! Come try this!”
“It’s cheap and delicious! It’s the kind of noodles that even the leader was surprised to taste!”
As I walked down the street little by little.
The voices of the vendors and merchants in each building fill my ears.
I walked steadily, listening to them one by one.
It’s not pleasant to be in a place where so many people are gathered.
Ironically, I loved the bustling streets.
The first street I encountered after returning was also similar to this.
That’s why it’s memorable.
This kind of distance feels full of life.
I could feel that the bloody catastrophe had not yet struck this world.
Looking at it, I could feel that I had been given another chance and was back.
So, this kind of inconvenience is nothing.
Even though it was raining, among the people doing business.
I exhaled and continued walking.
Well, I had to head to my accommodation.
at that time.
“Take some medicine and try it!”
Suddenly, I stop walking without realizing it at the sound I hear next to my ear.
‘It’s medicine.’
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that name.
I guess so.
After Wi Seol-ah left.
Because I’ve never bought medicine with my own hands.
Advertisements
Maybe it’s because when I hold one in my hand, I think of that brightly smiling face.
After the above story left, I haven’t really bought anything.
With a little interest.
I made my way through the crowd and approached the pharmacy.
Then the old man, whose face was covered in wrinkles, smiled and greeted me.
“Oh, would you like to grab one?”
“Please give me two.”
The old man smiled as he took some money out of his pocket and handed me some medicine.
Since I didn’t want to buy a lot, I bought a small amount and didn’t take change.
“Thank you, Daehyeop!”
It seems like the way the old man speaks to me and the way he addresses me has changed.
I didn’t really care.
I picked up a piece of medicine and put it in my mouth.
The chewy texture is still the same.
The taste on my tongue was still the same.
Somehow it feels less sweet.
‘Is it because the guy who used to eat delicious food is gone?’
If it’s for such a worthless reason.
‘How trivial.’
I don’t have anyone to eat with.
If you say that the taste and feeling of eating are different.
It was still a useless sentiment.
I recall the face that was smiling brightly inside.
Asked the air.
‘I hope you are doing well.’
Are you eating well?
Oh, I hope you’re not sick.
‘and.’
I really wonder if it was okay for me not to come to you.
I wanted to ask that.
There is no way to hear an answer.
I just asked.
Thud thud.
The question that was left out was.
Still washed by the falling rain, it melts away, unable to catch the wind.

cue,,
Just like the white breath quickly dissipates.
Watch the rain falling quietly.
After shoving the remaining medicine into my mouth.
I started walking again.
Because in the midst of being busy, it was enough to just indulge in sentimentality for a moment.
If I delay any longer, those in the guest house will probably come looking for me.
slowly.
The moment you are about to leave your foolish thoughts on the ground and take your feet off it.
[Crrrrr…]
Suddenly, a beast inside me cried.
“Weren’t you sleeping?”
Since there was no movement for a while, I thought I would hibernate to celebrate the arrival of winter.
I guess that wasn’t the case.
[Krrr… . Krrrr… .]
As if he had just woken up from a deep sleep.
The boy started to cry repeatedly.
It felt like I was throwing a tantrum.
“Are you hungry? I fed you a lot on the way here.”
On the way to Hanam, I catch all the monsters I come across.
I already fed you plenty in advance.
Why is this happening all of a sudden?
[Crrrrr…]
The guy who cries and whines as if he’s throwing a tantrum.
It didn’t seem like she was crying towards me.
Should I say that it’s as if it’s barking towards somewhere?
“Why on earth are you like that…?”
At the moment when I was trying to calm down.
“uh?”
I felt a presence.
Hearing a familiar sound, I quickly turned my stiff head and looked somewhere.
The location is on the roof of the building.
In that place far away, looking up high.
A figure was seen with his face covered by a veil pulled back over his head.
Anyone who looked at it would think, “I’m an incredibly suspicious person!”
That wasn’t the important thing.
What’s important to me now is.
All I can see is her looking at me from a distance.
Advertisements
‘…Why?’
It’s not a question of why you’re looking at me.
Why her.
The question was whether it was here.
About a character whose gender is not clearly known.
One thing I can be sure of is that it is her.
Because the sound is particularly familiar.
‘Why on earth?’
If it were original.
No, it would have been a feeling that I hadn’t felt since the regression.
Are you living your life with all sense of existence erased?
A presence that could not even be felt, even if one tried to catch or find it.
For some reason, it felt so clear to me now.
like.
Just like she was in her past life.
“•••you.”
I blurted out my words with great embarrassment.
She flinched as she realized that I had noticed her, and jumped down from the roof, disappearing into the crowd in an instant.
cue,,
I ran out into a crowded place.
The feeling that was relatively deep has faded.
The energy that mixes among these countless people.
It scattered my spirits.
There was only one thing I could do when I saw that.
“You showed up anyway. You’re annoying me.”
Kuung.
“Eww! What the heck!”
“Ugh…!”
In that moment, the bet released from my body startled those around me and staggered.
It looks like that guy used that as a method in his own way.
You know my personality, but that was a mistake.
It must be an attempt to make it impossible to find it by winking in the midst of a crowded crowd.
Unlike last time when I let it go without any consideration.
By any means necessary.
This time, I didn’t think that would happen.
Advertisements
Although.
I might have just seen something.
Or maybe he just doesn’t want to see me.
Regardless of that.
If you who I’m facing now are real.
Unfortunately, I had no intention of letting you go.
