An unexpected additional person joined the breakfast table.

It was Yusajeon.

“Hehe, is that so.”

“Yes, regarding personal non-radio…”

Yoo Yu-yeon seemed to have decided to become friends with Yeo Il-ye, so she clung to her and told her various stories. Is there anything that requires the connections of the Jeomchang faction?

Next article Now, wouldn’t Yeo Il-ye be seen as a big name? In martial arts, skill is important, but so is the power of reputation. Yeo Il-ye is one of the hottest people in Moorim right now.

“Indeed, the individual ranking match must be very popular in Sacheon.”

“Hehe. It may seem like I’m putting gold on my face, but individual ranking matches are very popular. Currently, the best-selling printed material is a weekly magazine that covers individual rankings.”

“Oh, really?”

When I saw the cover of the book that Yoo Yu-yeon handed over to Yeo Il-ye, I couldn’t believe my eyes for a moment.

[Sacheon Weekly Platinum Match Record]

[Postwar Damheung Shinso]

“Hehe…”

I made eye contact with the black cat. Seeing that the black cat is also shaking its head, is this a private business?

“This is a record of the non-business events that took place for a week, right? indeed. Not only the win and loss of a match, but also the journey leading up to that match, and the honor and record comparison of the faction involved in the match… It’s interesting.”

“Hehe. Compared to the total number of peak masters in Sichuan Province, 100 seats is probably not enough. Thanks to that, the platinum competition taking place in Sacheon is very fierce.”

If you are a peak expert but are not at platinum level, it is clear how you will be treated. Top-class experts from the Jeokdaemun faction will climb up to the same level while holding golden paddles. Wow…

I feel dizzy just thinking about it.

“Now that I think about it, Ho Cheon-an, didn’t you win the bronze medal yesterday too?”

“Hmm. It did. I’m thinking of doing some dancing if I get Daejeon today.”

“Are you also participating in the individual ranking competition?”

“That’s right. I guess I wanted to find out what level my skills are.”

“I’m also quite interested.”

The conversation about the individual ranking match naturally led to my dancing and I ended up visiting the non-stage with Yeo Il-ye, who was interested in the individual ranking match.

“It’s Hongjuk County Association!”

“Yeoilyeda!”

As soon as Yeo Il-ye approached the non-stage spread out on the grounds of Golden Street, an immediate uproar broke out. The spectators who watch the dance are celebrities who are interested in martial arts, and the dancers who perform the dance are martial artists from Sacheon.

“My name is Aran Seo! I always admired Yeo Sojeo’s cooperation!”

“Thank you for eradicating the evildoers in Sichuan Province!”

“Hongjuk County Association! Hongjuk County Association!”

“Jeom Changpa! The fortune teller!”

“Hmm…I don’t know what to do with hospitality.”

Thanks to that, I also received attention.

“That person…is he by any chance the Sacheon Rangin who gave enlightenment to Yeo-il-ye Dae-hyeop?”

“That Sacheonronin was the twenty-eighth number?”

“No, then the author went to Luoyang and was kicked out after a month…?”

“Uh huh. Be careful what you say.”

Me, who was up on stage number 8 waiting for today’s dance opponent, and Yeo Il-ye, who was staying there to watch my dance. It was not difficult to infer the relationship between Yeo Il-ye and I from the point where Yeo Il-ye was watching Sichuan Nangin’s dance.

[sorry. Silver ball. I didn’t expect it to be such a nuisance.]

[It’s okay. This was exactly the rumor I was hoping for. If anyone asks, would you rather tell them out loud that you did not receive enlightenment from me?]

[that…]

As we were having this conversation using telephony, a warrior opened his mouth.

“Great cooperation! There’s something I’ve been curious about for a while. There is a rumor that he received enlightenment from Sichuan Nangin. Is this true?”

There was a old man and a real man. The eyes of the audience also flocked towards Yeo Il-ye with curiosity.

“….When I ran into Eungong on the street and had a chat. Suddenly, enlightenment came to me. If I hadn’t stopped and had a conversation with Eungong, that realization wouldn’t have come.”

“Umm…”

“Rather than saying that it definitely gave me enlightenment…”

“I don’t think I would have achieved enlightenment if I hadn’t met Eungong. My request is made based on my own judgment, so please refrain from saying anything, but…”

“Oops, I apologize!”

“I never meant to disturb Yeo Sojeo’s spirit of cooperation!”

As soon as Yeo Il-ye showed signs of being slightly uncomfortable, the crowd immediately lowered their tails. However, the thought must have settled in their minds, ‘As expected, it was just a coincidence rather than a ronin giving them enlightenment.’

In this slightly uncomfortable atmosphere, a silver-ranked opponent arrived.

And looking at the other person’s face, I was quite surprised.

“…Tae Kyung-moon’s Kang Jun?”

“Huhuhuhu…! We finally met!”

Kang Jun, who broke the Hocheonan legend with me at Gyeongsu Market, was my opponent. Wow, this guy must have trained hard. Even if it was silver grade, it would be top-notch.

“At that time, I was always worried that I couldn’t finish you at Gyeongsu Market. When the ranking match was held, I looked for you, but I guess I heard a rumor somewhere about my skills, which have improved greatly, so I couldn’t even see you! Then, when I heard the news that Sicheonangin Twenty-Eight had appeared, I knew you were back!”

“Hmm…”

“At that time! It always bothered me that you stepped on a chestnut and suffered internal injuries! A year has already passed since then! Now, let’s compete fairly against each other!”

I looked into Kangjun’s burning eyes. His will was burning like an active volcano, and he looked as if he would draw his sword and attack at any moment.

This guy… he’s so sincere.

no…

That was a story from when, but are you talking about it now? Hey, it was our business. Business. That was the best service… No, I paid extra for this, so let’s just say it is. Anyway, isn’t it a bit of a waste to bring up something that happened last year now?

Plus, you bastard.

Do you really think it makes sense to step on a chestnut and get an internal injury? Even if you didn’t notice it at the time because you weren’t in a hurry, a year later and now that you’ve become a first-class warrior, have you still noticed?

He was truly a creepy guy in many ways.

“Mayor Gyeongsu…? Well, it looks like he has a bad relationship with Number 28, right?”

“Well, if you are a warrior active in Sacheon, it would not be strange if you have a story related to the Sacheon ronin.”

“Last year…Mayor Gyeongsu…ah…! I remembered. At that time, there was a lot of noise because a Sichuan ninja appeared who was throwing people!”

“Huh, is that person No. 28?”

It seems that what happened at Gyeongsu Market became a hot topic at that time. Is there anyone who could watch Ho Cheon-an’s legendary directing skills at the scene without shedding tears of emotion? Everyone must have cried out in excitement at witnessing the legendary scene with their own eyes and spread the news in all directions.

“You really were a Sichuan ronin.”

“I was expecting it to be someone who was hiding his identity…Tsk.”

It seems that there were still those who supported the theory that the Sichuan Nangin who gave Yeo Il-ye enlightenment was a mysterious person with a hidden identity.

Is this something I should be grateful to Kangjun for?

“Hurry and draw your sword! It’s time to sort out old money!”

…Well, I don’t think there’s any need to be thankful.

More than anything, my honest feeling was that I wanted to avoid a rivalry or being involved in a scandal with this kind of sloppy guy.

“Anyway, I’m looking forward to it!”

Kangjun shouted as he pulled out his sword.

“Come on! I will defeat you and advance towards the golden trophy without hesitation!”

Oh, I really don’t want to fight.

*** ***

“28 wins!”

“Big black black black….! I’m sorry, Moonju! This Kangjun! The great task of reviving the clan has failed! Hehehehe!”

I quickly ran away from the off-stage, leaving Kangjun, who was shedding tears, behind.

“It looks like you had some kind of relationship with that person?”

As I was shaking my head in response to Yeo Il-ye’s question, the black cat smiled and said.

“Fuhuhuhu. Something like that happened.”

“Hmm. It looks like Sojeo, the black cat, knows what’s going on.”

“Of course! Because it happened when I was with my senior!”

A black cat puffing out its chest and speaking proudly. They seem to think that Yeo Il-ye was hit by the fact that he went through an incident with her that she didn’t know about.

However, Yeo Il-ye just looked at the proud black cat as if it were cute.

“Then, please tell me the story.”

“I won’t tell you!”

The black cat with a triumphant smile ran out and widened the distance. Yeo Il-ye chuckles while looking at such a black cat.

“Hehe, I think I understand why Eungong takes care of Sojeo. There was an innocent child hidden beneath the beautiful face.”

“…Please be lenient.”

“It will be rewarding to become friends with you.”

As if I didn’t like something, the black cat that was standing far away came running up to me and grabbed my sleeve.

“Why are you taking your time? It’s soon time for the platinum match to be held on a special stage, so we have to go quickly!”

“Oh, I got it.”

We decided to take part in a bimu dance on the way to Bimujang and watch it if we had time left. Yeo Il-ye became interested after seeing the records of the Baekgeum Daejeon and also advised me that watching the dance between the best masters and understanding the flow of how they actually handle the sutra would be helpful in training.

“Hongjuk County Cooperative Daehyup! I’ve always admired you…”

“I was moved by the cooperation of the Daehyeop!”

As soon as she entered the special stage, Yeo Il-ye was caught by the crowd. I looked in this direction with a puzzled expression, but…

“All as planned!”

The black cat grabbed me and dug into the innermost part of my unarmed body.

“Black cat, what happened with Yeo Il-ye Sojeo? Why do you hate it so much? Yeo Il-ye Sojeo is also a priest of Hyeok Kirin Daehyeop. What are you going to say to Hyuk Girin Daehyup later?”

“Somehow I feel like a cat is targeting my fish!”

“But now it’s time to make friends other than Hyukkirin Daehyeop. If Yeo Il-ye and So-jeo are of the same level, we’re the same age, and we’re also active in the martial arts group, so there’s nothing wrong with being close friends.”

The black cat glared at me with eyes full of dissatisfaction.

“I understand that there are some things that are uncomfortable because the relationship was hostile at first, but it is also rude to blindly be hostile to others like this. At least let’s not set the blade.”

“….Tch. No matter what I want to convince you, there is no basis…”

The black cat, which continued to look at me with disapproving eyes, eventually let out a long sigh and slumped its shoulders.

“Just wait and see, Senpai! Yeo Il-ye will soon reveal her true colors! all right? There is nothing else to say after that!”

“…Okay, let’s say so.”

This was my first time seeing a black cat run wild like this, so I was exhausted. Is there really such a thing as compatibility in human relationships? Seeing the black cat showing off like this made me skeptical about whether keeping Yeo Il-ye by my side was a good choice… but Yeo Il-ye also seems to be interested in the black cat, so I’ll just have to wait and see.
