鶇 Episode 290 > You won’t be able to catch up. (4)
It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.
As I lift my heavy eyelids, an unfamiliar ceiling greets me.
“•••Ugh… .
How long has it been since I carried such a heavy body?
At least it was the first time I’d experienced something like this after reaching my climax.
‘•••I feel like I’m going to throw up.’
Is it because I bet too much yesterday?
What’s more, it was blown up instead of being recovered.
I felt a tingling sensation in my lower abdomen.
Should this also be called muscle pain?
I raised my creaking body, enduring the excruciating pain.
Only then did I realize that the ceiling I was looking at was the guest house we were staying in.
I could tell that it was a little past morning.
“under.”
Looking at this, it looks like he passed out as soon as he got back yesterday.
..
..
.
Hagiya, you made the test site like that.
It wouldn’t have been strange if I had collapsed from exhaustion.
‘The testing center must have taken care of it.’
Just before it explodes.
The actions taken by the inspector while spitting out the bet.
It was none other than surrounding the review indices that could be swept away.
As I thought,
He was the person closest to being a politician.
‘If I had known that, I would have been more moderate.’
In the meantime.
I also worry that others might get swept away.
He made a bet with extreme calculations to avoid being caught in the blast.
If I hadn’t done that, Danjeon wouldn’t be screaming right now.
It would have been better if the baby hadn’t exploded in the first place.
‘I can’t stand seeing you like that.’
As I said back then, I’m not a very broad-minded person.

If you’re angry, you should release it in time to feel better.
After that, I stood there blankly for a moment, my body raised.
Rather than being dumb.
It was to check if the body’s bets were moving properly.
‘eww’
O •
I was able to figure it out after pulling up the stakes from my lower abdomen and spinning it a few times.
‘I won’t be able to move much for a while.’
Pain occurs in the lower abdomen or blood vessels.
Is it because I suddenly used the spleen that it swelled up?
I needed a break.
“Tsk.”
I guess I should have held on a bit longer.
[Knock…]
I can even hear them whining about being hungry.
My head started hurting on its own.
I used up all my energy yesterday, so I guess the beggar in my stomach is hungry.
“Don’t rush me and just stay still. I’ll feed you plenty tomorrow anyway.”
[Knock…]
If I were to face a demon, my job would be to face the monster.
This is just the content that I would have finished yesterday.
‘It got postponed because I had an accident.’
The test date was pushed back because of the destruction I caused last night.
I don’t really feel guilty.
If you’re going to blame it, I think it’s because of the inspector’s mistake.
“I unexpectedly had some free time.”
Thanks to that, I had a little bit of free time for a day.
To be honest, I had a vague idea that this would happen if I had an accident.
‘I didn’t know it would become real.’
Of course, it’s an event hosted by the Murim Alliance.
I was wondering if we should postpone the schedule just because one person in the later stages had an accident.
I didn’t know this would really happen.
Still, thanks to you.
‘I can use the day to its fullest.’
This gives you some time to sort out the issues that have been bothering you.
It was a fortunate thing for me.
But before that.

‘If I remember correctly from last night.’
There was someone I had to see first.
Squeak-
Open the door and go down the stairs.
The surrounding sounds were the very definition of silence.
It’s not early in the morning.
It’s still too early for lunch.
It was a time when there were relatively few people.
As you go down the stairs.
A person sitting at a corner table catches my eye.
To be exact, it was people.
Perhaps that is what makes this inn so quiet.
Not only time, but those women will also be playing a part.
“You’re awake.”
Did you hear someone coming down the stairs?
A woman drinking tea quietly.
Mo Yong-hee looks this way.
“You must be very tired.”
“•••little?”
“I heard the news. That Confucius has done something big.”
“It spreads quickly. How long has it been?”
“The sound could be heard all the way to where we were.”
surely.
It was such a loud noise that it was strange that I couldn’t hear it.
“How did that happen?”
Mo Yong-hee asks, as if she knows something.
She too, in the midst of so many people.
I guess it seemed strange that I had done something like that.
“It’s just that, something happened that made me angry.”
That wasn’t all though.
I decided to just let it go like that.
“Still, it was great, Your Majesty!”
These were Tang So-yeol’s words.
Come to think of it, wasn’t this a different guest?
•••What, did you see that?
Advertisements
Group 1 cannot enter the testing site without permission.
If you get caught by the instructor, you will get points deducted.
It’s something that can be done without being caught, though.
Even though the instructors looked weak, they were not all that lowly.
Did Dang So-yeol come through that and get into the fight?
I have a question about this.
Dang So-yeol answers brightly.
“No, I didn’t see it!”
“But how do you know?”
“I was just wondering if you weren’t stupidly cool.”
“”
I always think about it though.
In my opinion, Dang So-yeol was the strangest.
Especially the eyes.
“•••Okay, did you all enjoy it?”
At my words, both Moronghee and Dang Soyeol tilted their heads.
It feels like.
It seemed as if it was an obvious thing to say.
These are…?
‘Isn’t it? Is it really that obvious?’
Nowhere else.
As a blood relative of the Four Great Families, I thought I should view them differently.
‘Then does that mean I was a fool who fell into a previous life?’
Yeah.
It’s true that he’s a cripple with a life-size body.
Why are you saying this now?
My gaze leaves those two people.
I looked at the woman who was squirming with her head on the table.
Namgung Bi, as always, seemed to be sleeping.
‘There’s no need to ask him.’
Namgung Bi didn’t even think that she would be eliminated.
Unless you voluntarily decide not to do it.
The probability of Namgung Bi being eliminated was close to zero.
“Your Majesty, Ah-hee has come and gone.”
“•••huh?”
Advertisements
I expressed my doubts about Dang So-yeol’s unexpected remark.
Ah-hee? Are you talking about Peng-ah-hee?
“He came too?”
“yes yes.”
It was a strange story that he didn’t come.
I didn’t even know you came because I didn’t see you yesterday.
‘If that happens, will all the four major families be admitted?’
This is another strange thing.
That’s why they keep making such a fuss about the generation of meteors.
The circumstances are just right.
In her previous life, Jang Seon-yeon was the one who took first place in this situation.
There must have been a lot of talk about that guy.
Of course, the Four Great Learning and Three Great Abilities.
At that time, Oryongsambong included Gupaebang.
Since Jang Seon-yeon was the top student, it would have been nice to receive attention from many people.
So, it is questionable.
I guess other kids can do that too.
It is said that he took the top spot while there were also sword dragons and sleeping dragons.
‘What would I have done?’
I’m sure I did something.
Otherwise, there’s no way he could have taken the top spot.
so.
This time I’m going to stop that thing from happening.
‘While you’re at it, why not do that too?’
If you really want to do it.
It would be good to deal with the guy inside the Shinryongwan.
That was the plan.
“by the way.”
Shudder.
Did you finally feel like you were ready to talk about yourself?
The guy who had been quietly sitting in the corner cringes.
I nodded inwardly while looking at it.
‘I guess it wasn’t a dream.’
At a time when I was feeling a bit dazed because I had used up all my strength.
I remember Namgung Bi dragging someone by the hand.
Advertisements
If the memory from that time wasn’t my illusion or a dream.
“Have you eaten?”
That was clearly a hoax.
I asked the woman who was still wearing a veil over her head, as if she didn’t want to show her face.
After hesitating for a moment.
“no.”
Fortunately, an answer came.
I chuckled as I watched that.
I wondered if it was still like that.
Then suddenly.
I blurted it out as an old memory came to mind.
“Would you like some potatoes?”
“ ?” Suddenly, out of nowhere, I thought it was a potato.
-Want some potatoes?
Even Wi Seol-ah’s eyes are seen growing wide through her shadowed face as if she is recalling old memories.
Looking at that, I added my words with a chuckle.
“Don’t hate me.”
But Wi Seol-ah didn’t give any answer to what I said.
It wasn’t a feeling that I didn’t like seeing it.
Unfortunately, for your information.
There seemed to be no steamed potatoes in the guest room.
That’s too bad.
After that, I left the guest house and walked down the street.
The outside of the inn is still bustling with people.
I was walking down the street.
His gaze was slightly behind him. Instead, he looked at the person walking beside him.
If it were up to him, he would have been a person who would have been constantly nagging and babbling, “What is this and what is that?”
So quiet.
In fact, he was following me from a distance.
Just watch it quietly.
I asked with a sigh.
“How long are you going to do this?”
Nothing else.
That was the most annoying thing.
It was a word given to Wi Seol-ah, who was still wearing the windbreaker.
Advertisements
I was just walking outside with Wisul-ah.
Now that I have a free day.
I came out because I wanted to take care of some business.
It was because I asked Wi Seol-ah to go with me.
In the meantime, Dang So-yeol tried to follow.
– no.
Namgungbi Aga caught Dang Soyeol and restrained him.
Mo Yong-hee also seemed to have noticed the mood and seemed unwilling to come forward this time.
“•••Shall I take it off?”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. Why are you using it in the guest room?”
“that is….
Outside, Namgungbi and Mo Yonghee also wear cotton shirts, so it doesn’t matter.
The above Seol-ah also has an eye-catching appearance.
It would be better to just walk around like that.
I couldn’t understand why he was doing that in front of me.
“I can’t even see very well.”
Wi Seol-ah lifts her head slightly at my words so that I can see her eyes.
This is really ridiculous.
Between the shadows, I looked into the golden eyes and sniffed the air.
Are you trying to make me feel better on purpose?
‘In the meantime, there is a golden eye.’
The fact that the pupils are that color.
It meant that Wi Seol-ah’s depth had reached a certain level.
I don’t know much about Geomjon’s martial arts.
If we recall that in her previous life, Wi Seol-ah had blonde hair and golden eyes.
Perhaps, like me, it seemed to change depending on the situation.
When I saw you last time, your hair had turned a bit of blonde.
‘As expected, Wisul-ah is Wisul-ah.’
The Weiseol Ah I met after a long time had gone over the wall and was now at the peak of its unmanned state.
Considering that it has not even been three years since I first took up the sword.
‘•••I have nothing to say.’
It was a talent that made me just give up thinking.
As I always do.
When thinking about someone’s talent.
This is the reason why we leave out beings like Cheonma and Wi Seol-a.
Advertisements
From the beginning, they were at a level where they could not be considered as equal human beings.
That’s why.
It’s something that always gives me a headache.
It means that I will take on her karma.
That I have to take on that role.
It means that you must fill it with the same amount of power as the divine sword of your previous life.
‘This is really fucking crazy.’
It was so overwhelming just imagining it.
How much or what should be done?
How can I know that?
The future just seemed bleak.
of course.
‘That doesn’t mean.’
Now that she had her sword in her hand, he had no intention of asking her to carry the load again.
If we walk together, wouldn’t we know?
If I had planned to leave it alone, I wouldn’t have even started.
” hey.”
“yes…?”
“Would you like to eat that too?”
Hiding my frustration.
When I point somewhere with my fingertips, Seol-ah Wi’s head moves along with it.
There were a ton of restaurants listed there.
What I was pointing to was a street vendor selling common skewers.
“I’m hungry. Let’s eat that.”
There were also times when I left without eating properly.
The reason was that it was the food that Seol-ah loved to eat.
When I suggest it, Seol-ah hesitates and speaks.
“I don’t have much of an appetite….”
“you?”
“”
He averts his gaze from my words.
What? Are you embarrassed?
‘Are you embarrassed to eat a lot?’
Him?
At most, it can be done in a few years.
Advertisements
What happened to make it change like that?
Thinking about that.
“If you don’t like it, just follow me and eat.”
I grabbed Weeseol-ah’s hand and pulled her along.
oh.”
He looked surprised when his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
It looks like Seol-ah above has no intention of rooting.
He pushed his way through the crowd into the stall and picked up two skewers.
One was for me to eat.
The other one, of course, was Wi Seol-ah’s.
cue,,
Wi Seol-ah quietly watched what I was handing over.
In the end, I couldn’t refuse and accepted it.
“Eat. Don’t do that for no reason.”
Because it seemed like he was worried until the moment he accepted it.
I took a bite and added a word.
Only then does Seol Ah carefully cut the skewer and bite it.
‘Have you been eating even the smallest of snacks? Why are you acting like that?’
Or.
I really felt like I had lost all my appetite.
Then maybe I forced you to eat too much.
‘Should I tell him to stop eating now?’
Just when I was about to change my words.
“If you don’t want to eat it, you don’t have to… I already ate it all.”
“•••yes?”
“When did you last eat…?”
Didn’t you just take a bite?
Why is all the meat on Wisul-ah’s skewers already gone?
Did you eat it all in that short amount of time?
Looking at that, fortunately, it didn’t seem like he had lost his appetite or anything.
It was only then that Seol Ah realized that she had eaten everything.
It’s a bit of a flustered reaction.
“This…! Why isn’t it there…?”
“Maybe it’s because your mouth is full.”
“That can’t be •••. I really had no appetite •••. It’s true!”
Advertisements
“Yeah, yeah, you didn’t have any, right? Do you want one more?”
“It’s true… It’s true…”
Above, Seol-ah moves her hands and feet as if she feels wronged.
However, that doesn’t mean that all the skewers that were eaten would be returned.
“So, you’re not going to eat any more?”
Wi Seol-ah, who had been rebelling by moving her hands and feet for a long time.
He pauses at my words and purses his lips.
This time, I wasn’t going to be the one to make the suggestion.
I picked up another skewer and looked at the above picture.
Wi Seol-ah, who had been hesitating while looking at that, finally spoke.
“•••I want to eat.”
“good job.”
Only after hearing the answer he wanted did he hand over the skewer.
But Wi Seol-ah looks resentful at that sight.
I was satisfied.
Fortunately, this part doesn’t seem to have changed.
“Oh, and. Why is it already half full…?”
“yes…?”
“No, tell me while you finish eating. Did something happen yesterday?”
“ ”
At my question, Wi Seol-ah, who was chewing on a skewer, stopped moving her lips.
I didn’t mean to interrupt your eating, you know.
I was just curious.
Namgungbia brought Wi Seol-ah here yesterday.
It’s amazing that Wi Seol-ah, who had been avoiding me for a long time, has come back so quietly.
I thought there must be a reason.
If nothing else.
This is something you had to hear.
Wi Seol-ah swallows all the food in her mouth and looks at me.
The way you look at me is somewhat ambiguous.
“Is there something you can’t tell me?”
“… No. I can do it.”
Fortunately, yes, it would have been a bit awkward if I hadn’t heard you.
Does that mean I need time to organize my thoughts?
Seol-ah Wi, who seemed innocent and a little lacking.
Advertisements
On the one hand, it was a shame that things had changed like this.
Fortunately, I felt like things were changing for the better as I lived in the world.
I waited for a bit with that thought in mind.
The above Seol-ah gives the answer.
-Last night… My sister and Prince Jang met.
It was a bit surprising that it was a full-on sound.
What was more surprising was that
– •••Who did you meet with?
– Jang Gong-ja and… Sister Bia.
It was an unexpected story.
Why did that kid and Namgungbi meet out of the blue?
– My sister said she came looking for me because she didn’t get to say hello.
– so.
– But unfortunately, I was talking to Duke Jang.
In the meantime, what were Wi Seol-ah and Jang Seon-yeon talking about?
I was full of questions.
– so…?
In some ways, Wi Seol-ah’s explanation was simple.
Namgungbia interrupted the conversation.
Jang Seon-yeon speaks about this.
Namgungbia didn’t even remember Jang Seonyeon.
He immediately told me not to come because it smelled bad.
‘…’
Don’t come near me because I smell something.
In a way, it was Namgungbia’s answer.
He was also the type of person who didn’t really care what other people thought.
Even so,
‘It smells.’
This is a level that even Jang Seon-yeon would be hurt by.
‘Good.’
Well then, that’s good.
-And what happened after that?
-And then… . Jang Gongja’s expression distorted and he pulled out his sword.
Jang Seon-yeon’s expression collapsed…?
That must have been quite insulting.
Advertisements
I guess so.
It was even stranger to endure such insults.
If it were me, I would have caught him and burned him.
Focus only on the hair.
‘But I haven’t heard any story about any sword fighting.’
I didn’t hear it from Namgungbia.
There was no talk at all.
Even if that bastard had drawn his sword first.
He also cut off and entered the conversation midway.
It was Namgung-bi who ended up insulting her by saying she smelled.
It was a situation where there was some justification for fighting.
-So you two got together?
– no.
Wi Seol-ah answered firmly.
The moment Jang Seon-yeon took out her sword.
[•••If you put that back in…]
Namgung Bi has the same expressionless face as usual.
[You die…]
It is said that he said that to Jang Seon-yeon.
The brain energy coming out of Namgungbia’s body.
Mixed speculation and living.
To Wi Seol-ah, who only knew Namgung-bi as usual.
It was a rather shocking sight.
‘It’s brutal.’
Although it may seem exaggerated in the eyes of others.
Just hearing it brings to mind the days of the Demon Sword Master.
[•••Twisted.]
Jang Seon-yeon said.
It is said that he put the sword back in its scabbard and left.
‘Are you scared?’
Looking at Namgungbi, even if we stick together, it’s not certain whether we’ll win.
If I cause an accident, my plans will probably fall apart.
He probably gritted his teeth and endured it.
‘That’s right. In the end, you’re saying you were scared.’
For me, that was it.
‘So after that, Namgung-bi brought Seol-ah with her?’
One thing that is a bit questionable is.
The one who was avoiding me so much, Seol-ah.
Advertisements
The point is that Namgung Bi-ah appeared and brought him here, so he came quietly.

• ••
When I started to have doubts.
Wi Seol-ah.
He recalled the night before when Namgung Bi-ah tried to take him away.
[Sister…! Wait…!]
It’s not time yet.
To Wi Seol-ah, who was trying to escape, saying that she didn’t think she could go.
Namgung Bi spoke in a clear voice.
[If you run away now, there will be no place for you next time.]
Kook.
When I recall that conversation, my fists clench involuntarily.
I wonder what kind of feelings Namgung Bi had when she said that to Wi Seol Ah.
It was something I couldn’t figure out.
At least, Seol-ah Wi knew that what he said back then was sincere.
While I was thinking about that.
“That’s too bad.”
“yes?”
Wi Seol-ah reacts to the voice she hears.
“I was running away like crazy, and now he’s dragging me here?”
“Ah, no, Master…!”
Seol-ah, who was about to spit out the word “Master” out of habit, shut her mouth tightly.
It seems that now it is clear that it should not be called that.
“It wasn’t like that… I just…”
“I know.
I decided to stop teasing him because he was getting more and more wrinkled.
“He said he would protect me and all, but he ended up like a wet towel.”
“… A wet towel?”
“It’s so wet and sagging.”
cue,,
At least this is not what I wanted to see.
At least.
I didn’t want to see Wiseol-ah, who looked the same as in her previous life.
‘It wasn’t that wet back then.’
It wasn’t just wet. It was frozen.
It’s really frozen.
Advertisements
So that was fortunate.
At this level.
It seemed like it could still be dried with heat.
He put another skewer in Wi Seol-ah’s hand.
Now it looks like he doesn’t refuse skewers.
“That’s what I really wanted to ask.”
Taking a bite, he asks Wi Seol-ah.
That was the question I wanted to ask the most.
I brought the above Seol-ah out to ask this question because I was praying.
After briefly organizing my thoughts.
I asked Wi Seol-ah.
“Do you know why your grandfather took you to get married?”
“•••!”
Wi Seol-ah flinched at my question.
It seemed like he knew.
“that is….”
“Is this something you can’t tell me?”
“”
Wi Seol-ah’s lips tremble.
It’s all about the look of worry.
Still, I had to know.
The reason why Geomjon took Wisul-ah to get married in this life.
That way, we can decide more specifically what to do going forward.
“that….”
After a short silence.
The moment Wi Seol-ah was about to open her mouth to me.
Woof.
I felt a vibration on my left hand, or more precisely, in the ring on my finger.
[Crrrrr…]
Additionally, the thing inside the body also reacts.
“•••Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue when I felt that.
Why does it have to be now?
When I frown, Wi Seol-ah, who was about to speak, looks surprised instead.
Sir… Sir?
He said this while looking at Seol-ah Wi, who was wondering what was going on.
Advertisements
“Normally, I would have told you to stay here for a bit and left you there. But I don’t know where you might run off to.”
closely.
I grabbed Wi Seol-ah’s hand.
“Follow me for a moment.”
This is the second time I’ve gone out today to do errands.
It seemed like he had taken the bait.
