‘it was fun.’

Sarah felt like she was walking through clouds. Sara’s eyes were bright as she emptied the bitter herbal medicine she drank every day and lay down covered in a blanket.

Sarah turned her head and looked to the side. I heard a whisper as if the magicians had not disappeared yet. No, I felt it rather than heard it.

‘That older sister…she was very pretty…’

After the excitement of the magic show subsided, Sarah remembered the black cat. I liked all the magicians who performed magic, but the face of the black cat kept coming to mind. As soon as the black cat’s eyes appeared, Sarah slowly got up.

“I want to meet you.”

Sarah looked toward the window again. It seemed like I could escape through the window if I just moved the low drawer near the window a little.

good. Let’s escape. Masarai also went out with the decoction, so no one will come for a while.

Normally, she wouldn’t draw it in her dreams, but Sarah snorted and nodded. Today, perhaps because I saw a magic performance, my body was full of energy. Today, I felt like I could not only push over that heinous window, or even though it wasn’t so heinous anymore, it was big and thick and I could climb over that window.

You don’t even have to go far, just go out the window and take a few steps. That alone made Sarah’s heart pound. How long has it been since I went out?

Sarah immediately took action.

“Keuuu.

Sarah was only a fifteen-year-old girl, weakened by syllables. Sarah was already covered in sweat just by moving the dresser and standing on it, but she regained her strength by squatting on it.

‘Is there a need to go out like this?’

As Sarah was taking a breather, a thought suddenly occurred to her. Although Sarah thought this place was stuffy, she didn’t dream of a plan to escape like she did now.

Sometimes I had the urge to open the window and look outside.

This was because he understood very well that this cramped place was a barrier protecting his weak self.

Still, somehow Sarah felt she needed to go.

‘Is this right.’

Sarah was unfamiliar with the idea of confidently going outside without any basis, but she still got up and put her hand on the window.

Good profit…

Is it because Hocheonan was opened so coolly earlier? Sarah felt a little lost as the window opened lightly. The window, which had been stuck tightly because it had not been opened for years, fluttered so easily just because it had been opened once.

Sarah sat on the window sill and breathed in the outside air for a moment. I came down from the window frame, feeling the cool air outside hit my lungs.

“Ah…?”

“That kid..?”

Ho Cheon-an’s group, who had gathered in one place and waited for Ho Cheon-an, was taken aback by Sarah suddenly escaping from her room. I heard that it is difficult to have contact with people due to illness, but is it possible for a patient in that severe condition to escape by climbing out of a window?

Should I call someone from Podalap Palace or should I just watch this girl deviate? Or is it okay to make contact with the child coming this way, or should I keep my distance?

Sarah cautiously approached Ho Cheon-an and his group and stopped at a gap of one chapter.

“Hello…how are you…? This is Lano Sara.”

“Hahaha! hello. As I introduced earlier, my name is Magician Corn.”

Corn quickly greeted me. I don’t know how Sogungju, who is also in critical condition, can move like this, but since a person is close, shouldn’t he at least say hello?

When Corn started speaking, the others also introduced themselves. But after that, the atmosphere became very awkward. Because I wasn’t sure if I could contact Sarah, or even get close to her.

A moment of silence passes as we look at each other.

“Over there…”

The black cat stepped forward. It was because I felt a certain energy from Sarah. Although it was someone else’s body, something writhing was captured, as if it were an internal cavity within one’s own body.

I felt it faintly outside the window earlier, but when I got closer, I felt it clearly.

A huge energy taking over this child’s body.

The black cat felt curious about the energy. I knew that he was a sick child who could get sick just by coming into contact with people, but somehow I was confident that it would be okay.

“Can I hold your hand?”

“Yes.”

Sarah was surprised even after answering. Sarah was not allowed to touch other people carelessly. It was common for people to fall ill after coming in contact with people.

But you answered so easily!

Sarah stood in front of the black cat and hesitated. Is it really okay to touch it? The black cat waited in silence as if it understood Sarah’s concerns.

In the end, Sarah gathered courage and held the black cat’s hand.

And that moment.

Sarah’s spirit began to move.

Ssss….!

The cold chill emanating from Sarah’s whole body! The energy was strong enough to instantly frost the grass under Sarah’s feet.

The black cat thought.

‘It’s too much energy for a child to handle.’

The greatest flow of energy that Black Cat had ever seen in his life was the moment Master Unjong ascended to the throne. The flow of energy, as if a mountain was alive and breathing beyond the entire Jeomchang Sect, was still engraved in Heukmyo’s mind.

However, the negative energy felt within Sarah’s body was so great that it could be compared to the energy of Master Unjong.

Although he had heard a lot about the nine-syllable vein and everything from Ho Tian-an, Heukmyo clearly understood the seriousness of the nine-syllable vein at this moment.

Oral energy, which was incomparable in quality and quantity, was not something that could be contained in the human body. No matter how strong the vessel is, how can it contain a mountain or a river?

It was an energy too large and pure for one person to contain.

The negative energy that was sleeping in Sarah’s body was shaken by the black cat’s touch. A single movement of a gigantic sound energy, comparable to Mount Tai, sent a cold wind around the area and froze the grass beneath Sarah’s feet.

A powerful aura spread around Sarah that even the most advanced expert could not avoid freezing, but the black cat was unaffected.

To be precise, the black cat handled the energy emanating from Sarah’s body naturally.

‘Taeeum (太陰).’

The black cat instinctively realized that he could control Sarah’s energy. A feeling that even though it is someone else’s energy, you can handle it as if it were your own.

The black cat’s instincts whispered.

This is possible because it is the energy of the oral umbilical cord.

Because the energy of yin was so pure that it could even consume one’s own life, it was strongly influenced by the black cat, which was born with the energy of the tae-eum.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the purest vocal organ in the world.

The black cat was instinctively convinced.

If you put your mind to it, you can absorb this huge and pure energy. Just by shaking and flowing out a little, you can absorb a powerful energy that can make the air in the area colder than the middle of winter and freeze the ground and grass under your feet.

The black cat laughed.

All the warriors in the world would unanimously say that it was a coincidence, but this was not the case for the black cat.

The black cat looked down at his hands again. To be more precise, looking at my hands reminded me of my own constitution.

Lunar delay.

Thanks to this cursed constitution, the black cat’s life was completely ruined. Since she was a child, men’s gaze had been on her persistently, so she had no choice but to leave home at a young age, and from then on, she had to continue to live a wandering life, keeping her distance from people.

Now, thanks to Hocheonan, I have come to know that my life is not filled with only misfortune, but that does not mean I have come to view the lunar delay in a positive light.

To the black cat, the lunar delay was nothing more than a curse that had to be overcome, and so was the lunar period.

That is why, until now, Heukmyo had never thought about increasing his Taeeumgi. Because he knew very well that as his Taeeum period increased, he would inevitably become isolated.

‘What will happen if I absorb this overflowing energy?’

I do not know.

The black cat was completely unexpected.

This is because the constitution that appeared once in hundreds of years was lunar retardation and oral eum retardation. No one could know what would happen when those two energies came into one body.

Since the voice sound is combined with the voice sound, we can only assume that there is a high probability of a synergistic effect.

‘If that happens…’

The black cat thought. Will we really be able to control the Taeeumgi like we do now? Even now, just barely. I was barely able to control the energy from escaping from my eyes, but wouldn’t it be a return to the time when I had to cover my eyes with cotton thread and look at the world through the woven patterns while watching suspicious people?

Even though I thought so.

The black cat gradually drew the energy of the nine sounds inherent in Sarah’s body into its own body.

Because Sarah’s body was limited.

With just the slightest movement of contact with a black cat possessing the Taeumgi, the vessel named Sara was filled with the Gumgi to the point where it overflowed.

Ssss!!!

A cold wind blew around Black Cat and Sarah. The grass, which had already become a piece of ice, flew and shattered, exposing the frozen bare ground.

The black cat thought as it absorbed energy little by little. At best, it was the first time I saw this child today. Is there a need to do this for a child like that? Although this child is necessary for Ho Cheon-an’s plan, Senior Ho could definitely come up with another plan.

It might have been foolish. Now, I’m barely able to face the world little by little and realize the fun of being together, but I didn’t know that I might ruin it all. I promised to raise my status with Ho Cheon-an and overcome heavenly punishment, but I might never be able to keep that promise.

The black cat opened its eyes and looked at Sara. Above Sarah, who was closing her eyes and making a relaxed expression, I thought of Sarah who was happy and smiling brightly. I remembered him looking intently at his own magic, with a sparkle like starlight in his big eyes. I remembered them cheering, sometimes with their mouths wide open and sometimes with their hands raised.

I blinked as I looked at Sarah’s face.

Before I knew it, Sarah had disappeared and I found myself standing in the back alley.

‘iced coffee…’

I saw my younger self looking at a child walking down the main street from a back alley. The child was holding his parent’s hand with both hands.

The black cat looked away and walked down the back alley. I walked and walked again. The black cat gradually matured. As I walked and walked like that… I had already reached the end of the dark alley. Someone was waiting in front of the sunny street.

A person wearing familiar black bamboo hats, leaning against the wall of an alley, turning the pages of a martial arts magazine.

The black cat continued walking. Ho Cheon-an covered his martial arts skills and walked naturally next to Black Cat. So I walked down the street and looked around. I saw a group of people wearing black masks and causing a commotion as they passed by. I saw Dang Do-gyeong practicing martial arts. Hyuk Kirin, who was walking across from me, waved his hand excitedly. I saw Yeo Il-ye carrying a baggage on her back. Dang Do-yeon appeared behind him in a raincoat and disappeared in an instant as a dot.

I also met Tang So-yeol, who was standing crookedly and puffing out a puff of cigarette smoke.

The black cat stopped.

The street stretched straight out. Ho Cheon-an was still walking forward, and the group was now running or walking along the main street at their own pace.

And a small alley where the sun doesn’t reach.

Sarah was standing there.

‘I see.’

The black cat stood in front of Sarah. Sarah was quietly looking up at the black cat. In order to hold Sarah’s hand, I had to go back into the dark alley. If I follow Ho Cheon-an like this, I will never have to fall into the darkness again.

The black cat looked at Ho Cheon-an’s back as he walked.

And then he smiled and walked away.

Ssss!!!

As soon as I took a step into the alley, an unusual chill greeted the black cat. A cold wind blew from the alley so hard that it was difficult to open the eyes, but the black cat did not stop walking.

‘different.’

The black cat recalled the scene he had just seen. Ho Cheon-an was waiting in front of the alley, but was Ho Cheon-an really waiting?

no.

Ho Cheon-an walked in with strides.

You can do this by holding the hand of a black cat who longed for a sunny place but was lost and didn’t know what to do because it lived in the shade all its life, and soothe its anxiety while cheering it on.

So he led me to the sunny area. It allowed me to get out of the alley, which I could never get out of alone, and bask in the warm sunlight.

therefore.

‘I… should do that too…!’

That’s why the black cat advanced through the fierce wind and bitter cold. My whole body felt like it was freezing, but the black cat didn’t stop.

The black cat held Sarah’s hand. I felt cold as if I had dipped my hand into a valley in the middle of winter, but I held on to Sarah’s hand even tighter.

“It’s okay.”

Black Cat couldn’t tell whether the Sarah in front of him was his inner illusion or reality, but he thought it didn’t matter.

“Let’s go with my sister.”

The black cat pulled Sarah’s body.
