The magic performance practice went smoothly.

The usual order of magic and the distribution of magic among the group members changed, so the performance order and demonstration magic were changed a lot, but it wasn’t a big problem just because I wasn’t used to it.

Everyone stayed up most of the night not only to perform magic but also to prepare for departure, but except for Corn, they were masters who could easily endure even being busy for a day or two, so it didn’t have much effect on their physical condition.

The basic form of the magic remained the same and only the details changed, so there was no way there would have been a major problem in the first place.

The rehearsal was completed without any major flaws.

“How are you, Sara?”

“It’s perfect! It’s amazing!”

The stage itself was completely filled with the magic that Sarah likes, so of course she would like it.

Sara is excited and expresses various impressions. And the expressions of Yeo Il-ye and Heukmyo looking at Sarah were not bright.

“I’m really looking forward to tomorrow! How will the people of Lhasa react when they see the performance tomorrow…!”

Because it was time to tell Sarah about the breakup.

“Sarah.”

I bent my knees slightly and was at eye level with Sarah. Sara, who was humming in anticipation of tomorrow, gave me a puzzled look when she saw me suddenly gaining momentum.

“We have to return to the midfield now.”

Sarah opened her eyes wide and froze for a moment… then looked at the group’s reactions. Black Cat and Yeo Il-ye were looking at each other with sad eyes, Tang Do-yeon and Corn were also looking at this place with serious eyes, and Tang So-yeol was just exhaling cigarette smoke as always.

“Uh, when?”

Sarah looked at me with trembling eyes.

“I plan to leave after tomorrow’s performance.”

“Such…! That’s too fast! one month! No, let’s go for at least one more week! Yes?”

Sarah said, holding on to my clothes. I also held Sarah’s hand.

I spent quite a bit of time with the chief at Podalap Palace. Now, the situation in Sichuan and Yunnan must have really reached a tipping point, so it was time for me to hurry back to the central plains as well.

I thought as I looked at Sarah.

Would Sarah be convinced if I told her that I postponed the schedule for a few days to prepare for the performance for her sake? I don’t know.

However, it was clear that Sarah would have been less shocked if she had had a longer period of time to prepare for the breakup.

That’s why I just said an apology.

“I’m so sorry Sarah for having to go back in such a hurry.”

“Ah, not yet… Sister Black Cat’s hand and Sister Yeo Il-ye’s internal injuries haven’t completely healed yet! Yes? You’re just forcing yourself to pretend to be fine!”

“Sarah…”

“Sara…”

“That’s right! They both need to recuperate! Since they can skip the magic show, the two of them can rest well…!”

The black cat hugged Sarah. Sara was speechless for a moment as she was hugged by the black cat.

“Sister…can’t I go? Please…”

Sarah’s plea was already mixed with crying. The black cat couldn’t bear to answer and just hugged Sarah tighter.

“Sarah will do well! Even if I massage your cheeks, you won’t say anything! So…”

Sarah looked around at the group as if asking for help. someone. Someone will take your side. Since these are people who loved me, I wouldn’t want to break up with them.

However, the group looked at Sarah’s eyes with sad expressions or lightly shook their heads.

“Lie….”

Sarah muttered.

“You are all liars! I told you I would be accepted into the Magic Corps! But why are you leaving! I like Sarah! It’s cute! I just petted him and loved him! Was it all a lie?”

Sarah got out of the black cat’s arms. Sara came out with tearful eyes and looked at Black Cat, Yeo Il-ye, Dang So-yeol, Dang Do-yeon, and Corn…

Just ran away.

“Haaa…”

I watched Sarah’s back until she disappeared. It was heartbreaking to see that anyone who saw him stumbling and repeatedly wiping his face with his sleeves looked like he was crying.

So, my group and I looked at the spot where Sarah disappeared in silence.

Once a week.

A magic performance was performed on a stage set up in Lhasa.

It was a magic performance that started simply to open the door of Podalap Palace… but the reason for performing it in Lhasa at least once a week was simple.

This was because the merchants who performed with us even visited Podalap Palace to assess the situation.

After we went up to Podalap Palace, there was no news, so the people of Lhasa seem to have roasted the merchants to find out our whereabouts.

For the people living in Lhasa, the Podalap Palace is almost a sacred and inviolable area, and the fact that they even knocked on the door of the Podalap Palace shows the intensity of the harassment.

That is why we have continued to perform in Lhasa once a week.

While the practitioners were preparing to find the Cheonam Stone Rock and catch the Black-clad Earth Dragon. It was a time when the black cat periodically relieved Sarah’s oral hearing.

Sarah also went down to Lhasa every week, holding the hand of the black cat, to watch our magic show. The magic could have been performed on the stage built in front of the building where Sarah was quarantined, but the stage built in the vacant lot was much larger, and more than anything, watching the magic with a large number of spectators had a different realism.

Of course, Sarah was a beginner when it came to magic, so she would have followed us wherever we said we would perform magic.

Sarah didn’t come to the dorm this morning. Well…you must have been very shocked by what happened yesterday.

That’s why today we visited Rano Jinbu’s residence to meet Sarah.

“Welcome.”

“Welcome everyone.”

Lanojingbu and Chairang welcomed our group warmly. Lanojingbu and Chairang looked like they knew why we were there.

“Um…Sarah is locked in her room.”

“I tried calling it a few times this morning… but it didn’t seem to come out.”

“We apologize for the inconvenience.”

“No. Just the fact that you care so much for Sarah is something we should bow our heads in gratitude for.”

“I will not forget that you made an effort to give my daughter memories.”

Rano Jingbu and Chai Rang expressed their gratitude and immediately led us to Sarah’s room.

“Sara, the magicians have come.”

Chai Rang spoke lightly. But there was no answer. Chairang lowered his voice and told me that Sarah was awake.

“Sarah. Please at least show your face.”

As expected, there was no answer coming from inside the room. I can’t help it. Since this was our last chance to talk, I should say what I wanted to say at least in this state.

“Sara, your physical condition may have improved a lot thanks to the power of Guryeong Station Cheonyang Milyeom Theater Company, but don’t forget that the way to stay healthy is to sleep as long as possible for a while. Isn’t this health achieved with great difficulty? I hope you take good care of it.”

I wished for good health.

“Sarah is the lord of Podalap Palace, so she will probably learn bare-handed martial arts. Still, I hope you keep in mind the sword techniques I taught you. Songhwa Twenty-Four Style contains all the basics of swordsmanship and swordsmanship. It will be helpful when dealing with prosecutors or thieves in the future.”

Yeo Il-ye left advice on martial arts.

“Cheek Tagu, I wanted to touch it for the last time, but it’s a shame.”

…Dang So-yeol left a down-to-earth impression.

“Please come visit Danga in Jungwon sometime. We will let you experience the real speed of the Bicheonmacha, which was only explained in words at the time.”

No…why is the last greeting like this?

“Thanks to Sarah Soger, I laughed and had a lot of fun. Every time I think of the chief, I think of Sarah Soger.”

Corn left a nice comment. Yes, this is the right goodbye.

“Sara.”

And then the black cat’s farewell began.

“You’ve been with Sarah for about a month and a half already, right? Every time Sarah saw my hair, she would make an inwardly sorry expression. Every time, I couldn’t help but laugh. It was an expression that made me realize once again that the child I saved was a child with such a good heart.”

The black cat chuckled. The black cat’s white hair swayed lightly as it laughed.

“What happened with senior Ho…um. Don’t worry, everything worked out fine. Isn’t that right?”

“Hehe, of course.”

“Of course.”

“I really enjoyed my time with Sarah. So, don’t worry about my hair. When we meet again someday, I will have neat black hair again. I hope Sarah shows a more courageous and dignified side at that time.”

I heard a small sound.

It was a sob coming from Sarah’s room.

Hearing the sound, the black cat looked heartbroken for a moment and tried to say something, then stopped, and finally spoke one last word.

“I hope you come see the performance.”

There was no answer back. The sobbing just got a little louder.

After conveying everything we wanted to say, Rano Jingbu and Chai Rang came to meet us. Dang Do-yeon climbed into the coach seat of the bicheon carriage.

There was still a lot of time until the performance, but it was appropriate to go down now to prepare for the performance and have something to say to the local merchants who helped with the performance.

Now, after going down to Lhasa and preparing for the magic performance, there will be no need to come up to Podalap Palace again.

It was time to leave Podalap Palace, where we had spent quite a long time.

“I owe you a lot. You two must come see the performance.”

“Hmm. Most of the practitioners at Podalap Palace will also come down today.”

“I will definitely go see it too.”

Finally, after saying hello to Chai Rang and Lano Jingbu.

We left Podalap Palace.
