<Episode 80> A fox bigger than you think. (1)
I closed my eyes tightly and shrank down for a few seconds.
There was no shock or noise as expected, so Gu Ryeong-hwa slowly opened her eyes.
At first glance, I thought it was the tip of a wooden sword.
When Gu Ryeong-hwa opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was someone’s back.
It wasn’t a very wide back, but it definitely looked like something I remembered.
Hwaruruk
I feel a familiar sound and a warm heat somewhere.
The wooden sword that was swinging towards Gu Ryeong-hwa was already in someone’s hand.
Before you can even begin to judge what’s happening, the heat that had been filling the surroundings dies down.
The owner of the store said.
“what are you doing?”
At those words, the woman who was fighting a battle averted her gaze for a moment.
Gu Ryeong-hwa, who was losing her mind and not being able to properly understand the situation, saw the person who saved her.
The face came in.
A boy with a fierce expression, as if his eyes were filled with irritation.
It was his older brother, Guyangcheon.
‘I thought it was going to break.’
My hands are tingling.
I did intervene in a situation where it seemed like something big would happen if I didn’t intervene, but it turned out like this
I didn’t mean to interfere so violently.
Namgung Bi-ah was wielding a sword, but it wasn’t very strong.
But if I hadn’t used the bet, my arm would have been sore.
“what are you doing?”
Namgung Bi avoids eye contact with my question.
Should he admit that he went a little too far?
“Why did you draw your sword against the child?”
There is still no answer from Namgungbia.
It seemed like there was some kind of conversation going on between the two, but I couldn’t hear it properly.
Namgung Bi, who had been mumbling, opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.
“•••I said you were ugly.”
“what?
99
“It’s not ugly….”
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Did the painter Gu Ryeong say that Namgung Bi was ugly?
‘•••I don’t think he’s someone whose eyes hurt that much.’
Even if you consider that Gureunghwa is a blood relative, it will definitely be pretty.
This was especially true because he didn’t have the sharp, sharp eyes that are characteristic of Guga.
Still, it was not enough to say anything to Namgungbia.
I asked while looking at the phoenix.
“You said he was ugly?”
“•••What nonsense are you talking about?”
“So, what the hell is this nonsense?”
Something doesn’t seem right with the conversation.
The ghost painter looks at me with mysterious eyes.
“why?,,
“•••What is your relationship with that person?”
“That guy?”
The glance he was glancing at was directed at Namgung Bi Ah.
… Didn’t I tell you?
That wasn’t it.
“Ah… So… .”
“Fiance.”
As was the case last time, this time Namgungbia intercepted my words.
Namgung Bi-ah’s three-letter, firm command became frozen in place.
He looked at me and Namgungbi alternately with surprised eyes, and his expression gradually hardened.
It was almost like an expression that said, ‘•••Why on earth?’
To be precise, how can someone like you be with someone like that…? Isn’t that more accurate?
Maybe.
Whatever it was, it was an uncomfortable experience.
“•••You came all the way here with your fiancé?”
“We didn’t come together… We just met on the way.”
We met just by chance.
From Gu Linghua’s perspective, how could he have met by chance on his way from Shanxi to Shaanxi?
I guess it’s possible, though.
•••It was exactly as it was said.
Gu Ryeong-hwa, who had been blankly staring blankly, looked at Namgung-bi with a hazy face as if something came to mind.
I looked up.
“Engagement… So?”
Namgungbia, who was meeting her gaze, had a blank expression as usual.
Gu Ryeong-hwa got up, dusting herself off, and approached Namgung Bi-ah.
I was thinking about coming out again because I thought he might be trying to pick a fight because of what happened just now.
Surprisingly, Gu Ryeong-hwa bows her head to Namgung Bi-ah.
“Thanks for the map.”
Unlike his usual appearance of being covered in dirt, he took a neat and tidy approach.
Namgungbi saw the familiar sight and wiped the grass off Gu-ryeong Hwa’s shoulder with his hand.
I gave it to you.
Gu Ryeong-hwa flinched slightly at the touch, then quickly continued speaking.
“•••Nonsense… I’m sorry for speaking so carelessly.”
Why am I glaring when you say that?
After Gu Ryeong-hwa apologized, Namgung Bi-a apologized to Gu Ryeong-hwa.
“•••I’m sorry too… .”
What is it…?
Why are they suddenly reconciling among themselves?
I was the only one who was bewildered by the unknown situation, so Gu Ryeong-hwa ran away.
Go ahead.
“Where?”
“Don’t worry!”
He shouted at Namgungbi Ae-gen, saying that he didn’t like something so much.
I lower my head slightly and run down the mountain.
I finally saved you… .
“Why are you doing that…?”
It was something I really knew but didn’t know.
The sound of the roar went down and Namgungbi came closer.
He looks a bit embarrassed.
“•••I didn’t intend to hit you directly.”
I laughed out loud at the words that came out as an excuse.
“I know.”
The sword prayer contained in the sword, the pressure it gave off, and the sword’s destination were ultimately only threats.
I knew it was.
Since I insisted on coming forward anyway, it must be my fault.
He asked, looking at Namgungbi Ah, who was standing awkwardly.
“Why were you doing this with him?”
“•••I just did it…?”
“•••Yeah, I guess that would be you.”
What kind of person could be this crazy about rain?
I seriously wondered if this kid was possessed by a ghost like me.
Namgungbi suddenly asks me a question.
“excuse me….”
“huh?
99
“acquaintance…?”
I briefly thought about what Namgung-bi was asking.
Looking at the line of sight, it is in the direction where the phoenix has descended.
Ah, Namgungbi, have I ever told you something?
I spat it out lightly as if it was nothing.
“He’s my little brother.”
“…uh?”
I don’t think I’ve ever introduced it… .
Were you doing this without even knowing that he was my brother?
It could be because their faces certainly don’t look alike at all.
The problem is Namgung Bi Ah’s expression when she heard what I said.
I have never seen Namgungbia’s expression so clear in my past and present life.
This wasn’t there.
“•••what’s the matter?”
Why else would I ask?
It’s the first time I’ve seen you make that kind of expression.
What should I say? It sounds like you’re both in despair and surprised.
It was a face with a mixture of colorful emotions.
Of course, it didn’t seem like a very good expression.
“•••mind….”
mind?”
I started muttering something to myself, but the sound was so quiet that I couldn’t hear it very well.
There was.
So I moved a little closer.
“Ma•••mang… .”
“what?”
“I’m screwed.”
Three quietly whispered words.
What did it mean that was ruined? I couldn’t quite figure out what it meant.
I think Namgung Bi-ah originally had a strange personality, so I guess it’s the same this time too.
I decided.
The next day came.
Fortunately, I was able to find another room yesterday, so I was able to sleep comfortably on the third night.
It was.
Namgung Bi-ah, who looked blank for some reason, didn’t say anything, but Wi Seol-ah
He had a look on his face like he didn’t like it.
Of course I was a little nervous, but maybe it was because I had told Hongwa in advance.
As time passed, it was naturally dragged away and disappeared.
Thanks to that, I was able to sleep well for the first time in a long time.
Shin Noya’s nagging was a bit noisy, but I was able to endure it and fall asleep.
It was fatigue.
I felt refreshed, so I thought it would be okay this time, and went out to do morning practice with Youngpoong.
I thought that if I felt this refreshed, I could endure it.
No it wasn’t.
Could this crazy sect be torturing people under the guise of training?
That too, of himself.
I returned to my quarters with trembling legs and lay face down on the floor.
Due to the influence of the mind method, you won’t feel hot or cold easily, and you won’t sweat much either.
I’m drenched in sweat…
Do you practice at this ridiculous level every day?
It couldn’t have been anything other than a truly perverted sect.
[•••This rotten guy?]
Shin Noya swore at me as if he didn’t like me, but I didn’t listen.
This is also something that I have become accustomed to now just letting on.
A glass of water is placed next to me as I am drenched in sweat and sweating.
It was the gift that Seol-ah Wi, who had come over without me noticing, gave me.
“Your Majesty, are you okay…?”
“No… It’s not okay.”
He was lying there with his body completely exhausted.
Suddenly, I thought I hadn’t seen Namgung-bi since morning, so I asked Wi Seol-ah.
“My sister just left!”
He said.
Where are you going and swinging a sword?
I picked up the glass of water with trembling hands as well as legs and quickly drank.
Judging from the sweetness of the water, I guess he must have been quite thirsty.
While I was drinking water, Wi Seol-ah took a towel and wiped her sweaty hair.
Gave it.
It was a pointless thing to do since I had to wash it anyway, but I was grateful.
“thank you.”
“Would you like some more water?”
“No, that’s fine.”
I tried to raise my body by moving my aching arms.
As I groaned and sat down on the floor, Wi Seol-ah pressed her shoulder against mine.
“what…?
99
“You can look forward to it!”
“To you?”
“huh!,,
Did it look like it was quite difficult…?
Lean on me.
I tease Seol-ah every day, saying that she is plump and round.
, he appeared to have a thin body type.
It looks so delicate that it might fly away if you touch it.
Of course, the strange strength that he occasionally showed in his body while working at home was something that was incomprehensible.
though.
It was a lie, so I just let it slide.
I waited a little and, as expected, Wi Seol-ah did not waver.
It’s a new and exciting body.
[Is it good?]
I almost burst out laughing at Shin Noya’s words.
Is it good?
At those words, I looked at Wi Seol-ah quietly.
Wi Seol-ah was quietly looking at the pond in her quarters with her usual expression.
Are the carp in the pond strange?
‘You don’t think I want to eat it, do you?’
I was anxious because I had something I always said, but I couldn’t say no.
Even if that were true, I wouldn’t really eat it… .
•••Isn’t it?
As I continued to watch, the baby turned her head and looked at me.
all.
As soon as our eyes met, Seol Ah smiled brightly.
The smile on her eyes that formed like a crescent moon and the corners of her lips that rose beautifully made my head spin for a moment.
He lost.
Because we were so close, the smile was so real and powerful.
‘…Anyway, your face is your weapon.’
Should I start putting on the cotton now rather than a few years from now?
Even though I put on a dress code, it’s like this, so I know what will happen when I grow up, so I’m even more worried.
Said.
| |… ..
.
… ..
It is impossible to keep Weeseol-ah in my arms forever.
Aside from being beautiful, it has many other meanings.
So the question was:
What on earth are you thinking?
The sword master and the father too.
“master.”
“huh?”
I answered the call, but I didn’t hear anything else.
Wi Seol-ah called me over and just stared at me.
As I watched, I felt like I was being sucked into the obsidian-like eyes.
all.
Why are you just watching without saying anything?
After watching for a while, Wei Seol-ah tries to open her mouth to say something.
“Old man…!”
Yeongpung appeared brightly.
I feel like this happened before too… .
Am I mistaken?
At Youngpung’s appearance, I raised my body that I had been leaning against.
Yeongpung looks at it and looks around with eyes that don’t know what to do.
“What’s going on, Dojo?”
“•••No, that… . Sorry. I interrupted.”
“•••Huh? No, I wasn’t doing anything.”
[I held my breath for a long time… and then that little brat…]
Even while talking, Youngpoong was still fidgeting.
I thought it was because of me, but it wasn’t me who was being watched.
I think it’s the Weiseol-ah side?
I looked at Wi Seol-ah’s face because I was curious about Young-pung’s reaction, and Wi Seol-ah was still smiling.
There was just that.
“coating…?”
“Ah•••That, I came here because I thought we could have a meal together even though my training is over… .”
I tilted my head at Youngpoong’s words.
Why did you come here and leave your fellow disciples behind?
Don’t writers usually eat together?
I wonder if there is some reason behind it.
I thought it would be okay since I had to eat anyway.
“Oh, I think I need to wash up first. Please sit down.”
First of all, since I had sweated a lot, I needed to wash it off.
“yes…?”
“You probably won’t have anywhere to go, so wouldn’t it be okay if you stayed for a little while?”
“No, I’ll either lie on the ground or climb a tree and rest.
“Come out slowly and quickly.”
“•••They are all extreme and contradictory?”
Why are you talking nonsense like that?
“Anyway, just sit down and wait for a moment. I’ll be right back.”
“sleep…!”
It seemed like Youngpung was calling from behind, but I was hungry so I thought I should go wash up quickly.
Hurry up and run.
‘Youngpoong’s condition is strange today.’
Are you out of your mind from practicing too much?
That seemed the most likely option.
As I was going to wash up, Shin Noya suddenly brought up the topic of Weiseol-ah.
[•••You, haven’t you seen the girl’s expression?]
“Expression?”
[Your eyes are like slits, you can’t even see properly.]
What do you mean?
When I saw it, it seemed like he was just smiling, but what on earth did Shin Noya see?
[•••Or did you intentionally make it so that I couldn’t see it? It looks more like a puppy than I thought.
He was a much more fox-like child.]
What is this old man saying…?
This time too, I laughed it off, thinking he was just saying something weird like usual.
No matter how I look at it, doesn’t the above Seol Ah look like a fox?
