Warm sunlight came in through the half-open window for ventilation.

I lightly stroked the cheek of Namgung Hwaran, who was tossing and turning in her sleep.

You could say that my nose is pierced.

‘Even though I knew it was bait with a hook, I ate it. It’s a marriage… It’s really awkward when I think about it like this.’

I got to do something while traveling that I haven’t been able to do in real life yet.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the extremely stuffy walls and windows, how could I tolerate that situation?

Since I touched the forbidden jade leaf of the Namgung family, I should be held responsible in some way, but if I think about it, it wasn’t that bad.

Since I did not marry someone with a mediocre position in the collateral world, but became the direct son-in-law of the head of the family, the depth of martial arts I could learn would be different.

Above all, Namgung Hwaran is a woman I liked from the first time I saw her.

Although it was a bit of an exaggeration to say it was love at first sight, it wasn’t a complete lie.

In Tuseonhyeophaengrok, because of his short stature, it may have been difficult for him to meet other women anyway.

‘Namgoong Minho…’

Although it seemed somewhat awkward, it wasn’t a bad tone.

“Um……”

Namgung Hwaran tossed and turned for a moment and then slowly opened his eyes.

The black eyes hidden under the eyelids were revealed, and my face looking down was reflected there.

I smiled and said good morning to her who was making eye contact like that.

“Good morning.”

“Sigh…!”

She must have come to her senses only after I spoke to her, and hid under the blanket while making funny noises.

While I was ventilating in the morning, I pulled the blanket over my head and covered my face.

The boldness of yesterday was gone, and only the shy person remained in bed.

“Good morning……”

As I was quietly waiting for Namgung Hwaran to come out on her own, I heard a low voice saying hello from under the blanket.

He asked in a playful voice.

“Do you not want me to see you?”

“Ah, no…! That’s not it, I’m just embarrassed…!”

She reacted violently and stuck out her head.

Then, when he saw me laughing, he puffed out his cheeks.

“Really…! Is it okay to make fun of the person you serve like this…?”

Side –

I interrupted her and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

“Is it still just starting?”

Is it because it’s skinship done in a sober manner? Namgung Hwaran’s cheeks heated up in an instant.

“Well, that’s not it…!”

Maybe it was because the scent of the spring medicine had disappeared, but unlike at night, I couldn’t help but laugh at the awkward appearance.

As I was comforting her, who was upset by the sound of laughter, the civil servants came into the room and started cleaning the room.

I tried to leave, but I was grabbed by Namgung Hwaran under the pretext of being a patient and had no choice but to lie down on the bed.

‘Now the rumor will spread within Sega.’

I thought to myself as I watched the quarrels cleaning up the traces of last night.

I felt like I would have to prepare for my ears to feel itchy for a while.

After the room was somewhat cleaned up, Namgung Hwa-ran also left, saying that she had something to talk about with Namgung-myeong.

As I lay there looking at the flowing clouds outside the window, visitors came to visit me.

They were warriors from Cheonpunggeomdae who came to visit the patient after receiving special permission to visit the hospital.

They said they had come to say thank you for saving my life, but I actually felt very awkward receiving the thanks.

This is because the members of the Cheonpung Sword Squad also suffered major and minor injuries, and some of them looked in worse condition than me, who had recovered to some extent.

Although my recovery was almost complete, I had to spend several days taking care of my body in an awkward atmosphere where I was treated like a patient.

And now, I was in the training hall, pointing our swords at each other with my teacher, Namgung-hyeon.

Surprisingly, the Namgung family guessed my secret and came to their own conclusion.

When I think about it, I was suddenly appointed as the founder of Namgung Hwaran, and the group called Sega seemed to enjoy gathering together with elders to come to a conclusion.

‘It’s easy for me… but if there’s a misunderstanding, it can get out of hand. The imperial family…’

I thought that if this was caught incorrectly, the Namgung family would be exterminated for something like treason.

So, for the first time since joining the Tuseonhyuphaengrok, I was truly embarrassed and explained that I wasn’t, but they just nodded with a completely unconvinced expression, as if they knew everything.

‘What on earth is this person called the head of the family thinking…’

“Concentrate.”

Evil –

Namgung-hyeon swung his sword.

It was a speed that could barely be handled by a first-class player.

After going through the battle with Tuma, I was on the verge of reaching the peak.

Kaangㅡ

We blocked it with the returned psychic weapon.

I forgot to put it in my inventory and was worried that I might lose it because I passed out, but fortunately, the members of the Heavenly Wind Sword Team took care of it.

However, the pistol that had helped capture Tuma was broken.

It was a pistol issued to an agent.

I liked the design and it was highly reliable, so I was attached to it, but it is said that it was destroyed by the head of the family, Namgoongmyeong, not during the battle with Tuma but after returning to Sega.

‘Thanks to you, I promised to compensate you with an elixir.’

It was disappointing in many ways.

There are superpower weapons in the form of guns that fire projectiles in the form of energy, but I tend to like guns that use gunpowder because they have a unique sensibility.

The remaining pistols were of relatively poor quality, captured from rebels.

‘I used a lot of explosives, so I guess I’ll make up for it in other modern travel destinations.’

While thinking that, I swung my arms.

Since it was a sparring to test my abilities, I also attempted to attack Nam Gung-hyeon using the Cheonpung Sword Technique as well as defense.

Ka-ga-ga-gak-!

“Your movements are slow. There is a difference between being strong and heavy and being dull. Concentrate more.”

Of course, the attempt didn’t work.

Namgung-hyeon, who looked like an ordinary old man on the outside, easily parried my attack with one arm.

After all, it is difficult for a strong man of the Harmony Mirror to touch even a single collar. I didn’t do my best, but the same goes for Namgoong Hyun.

If we are sincere with each other, how many times can we exchange attacks?

widely!

Namgoong-hyun said, kicking the floor and stepping back.

“Try the flame again.”

“Phew…”

Hwareukㅡ

I took a breath and created a flaming blade on my baton.

“What is the blue flame?”

Namgung-hyeon, who had already heard the entire situation through Cheonpung Sword Team, asked.

A blue fire created by performing the Changgung Dae-Yeon-Shin-Gong using this ability instead of using internal energy.

To be honest, I also used it with a twist at the time, but I didn’t feel like using it because it was a bit painful to use with a sound mind.

Also, it’s a bit awkward to use a technique that I don’t fully understand yet.

“I don’t know how I did it either. Because the situation was so urgent, I naturally…”

“Um…”

Namgunghyeon closely observed the flaming sword I had created.

“It’s really a different power from inner strength. But that doesn’t mean I feel any evil or auspicious energy…”

After muttering that, Namgoonghyeon swung his sword again and collided with me.

Quang!

“The fire really maintains its shape like a sword… How do you use the other abilities?”

What he was asking was how to treat the fatal wound using inventory and mileage.

“I don’t know why, but I was able to do it instinctively.”

“The upper part is a little big, but is all this possible with that…”

‘Gap…!’

Namgoonghyun’s gaze fell from my gaze as he was thinking.

Whick!

Just before the sword he swung hit him, Namgoonghyeon’s arm swung at an invisible speed.

There was no time to use high-speed thinking.

Pow!

“Ugh…!”

“It’s still 10 years too early.”

When I came to my senses from the exhilarating pain, Namgung-hyeon had already struck me in the stomach with the sword’s face and was in the process of retrieving the sword.

Slurp~

Slam!

Namgung-hyeon asked, putting his sword back in its sheath.

“Do you have any more wall bombs left?”

“Cough… Cough… None.”

I coughed to catch my breath and answered.

I still have some left over, but I wasn’t planning on using them if possible.

“Even if you have it, don’t use it anymore. If you rely on external knowledge, you will not be able to overcome the wall at a critical moment.”

He turned his gaze to look around and continued speaking.

“And since you will soon become the son-in-law of Hwarani, a direct descendant of the Namgung family… there is nothing good about engaging in behavior that is taboo in the political faction.”

‘There are still people on guard.’

Well, even though the head of the family has decided to accept me, there is no way that there is not a member of the family who cannot accept it in their hearts.

It would be better not to give people who disapprove of me an excuse to bite me.

It happened while the superweapon was being returned to the inventory.

Because there was no need to hide it anymore.

“Is your stomach okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Even though I am a teacher, it doesn’t feel good to be treated one-sidedly, but Namgoong-hyun needs to show such a strict attitude to block other people from talking about me.

Namgung House is a safe place, so even if you get seriously injured, it’s okay.

Namgoonghyun said as he watched me shaking off the dust.

“Perhaps, as the commander and head of the family guessed, the blood of the spirit creature may flow through you.”

“A spiritual object?”

“Yes, they are legendary creatures that are difficult to find in the midfield anymore. It is said that like you, Minho, he knew how to use various abilities that were neither hexes nor magic arts.”

“Oh…”

‘It’s a spirit creature that uses fire…’

The images that immediately came to mind were jujak (朱雀) and dragon (龍).

‘But they seem to be closer to gods than to spirits.’

Since I don’t have much background knowledge in this area, I couldn’t think of much.

‘Do you misunderstand that there was a person among the ancestors of the imperial family who was involved with spirits? Ugh… I might feel a little sorry…’

I shook my head to shake off the terrible imagination.

The honor of the imperial family was not a problem I had to worry about right now.

“I will let you know when the wedding date is set. In the meantime, hang out with Hwaran and rest well.”

After saying those words, Namgoonghyeon turned and walked out of the training hall.

By this standard, Namgung Hwaran is already past the age of marriage, so she would want to proceed with the marriage as quickly as possible.
