“Whaaa…Wow…”

Navin let out a frantic exclamation as he looked at the spirits.

The biggest animal Naveen had ever seen since he was born was a horse. Miho was about the same size as a horse, so it wasn’t that surprising, but Navin couldn’t help but gape when he saw the real ghosts.

Navin looked at Seokwoong and Hwajeo and expressed his feelings.

“It’s as big as our house…!”

Navin let out an exclamation of admiration at the fact that his entire face was reflected in Seokwoong’s eyes, and got off Miho’s back and approached Seokwoong.

Seokwoong looked at Navin approaching little by little and let out a long breath. Suddenly, Seogong, who had entered the village with Ho Cheon-an, appeared and took Miho away, saying something incomprehensible about having to play with a human. He really brought a human.

I sighed at the suddenly annoying problem.

Easy profit!

Navin’s clothes fluttered and his hair flew, instantly becoming scattered after being hit by Seokwoong’s snorting wind from the front. Navin, who held his head for a moment and made a dazed expression, soon burst into laughter.

“Awesome! Cool!”

Navin clung to the bridge of Seokwoong’s nose. Seok-woong was very bothered by Navin, but there was nothing he could do.

Ugh.

Ho Cheon-an told me to do it, even if it’s annoying, I have to do it.

Seokwoong shook his head little by little, and Navin continued to cheer as his body shook in response.

Yeongmul ride!

Seokwoong allowed Navin, who was hanging on his nose, to enjoy the power of gravity and inertia, and then lowered him to the floor. Navin, who was out of breath but smiling brightly, looked at Seokwoong with bright eyes.

Eyes that expect something more.

Seokwoong looked at Navin, who was giving him a ‘Do it!’ look, and sighed once again before straightening up.

Rolling around.

It started rolling like a ball. Navin was amazed at the sight of not only rolling forward, but also rolling regardless of direction.

Kang.

Miho also raised her snout to the sky as if she couldn’t lose.

Grumble!

The spewing red flames formed a ring and soared into the sky. Navin’s mouth widened at the fireworks display Miho showed.

Snap!

Soon, even Seogong showed off his talents. He began jumping over the ring of fire that Miho had made.

Miho was excited when Seo-gong jumped over the ring she had created, and she spewed out rings in all directions, and Seo-gong also passed through the ring, showing off his flashy movements.

Spiritual performance!

Navin was soon immersed in the sights shown by the spirits.

*** ***

Navin looked around.

The children are engrossed in other games, and the adults are busy doing their own work.

Navin last saw Ho Cheon-an, Jeong-sam, and Yeo Jin-sang. After confirming that the three people were engrossed in the game of chess, Navin called out Seogong with a wave of his hand and went out of the house.

Continuing from yesterday, today we are heading to the vacant lot to play with the spirits.

“It looks like things are going well.”

Ho Cheon-an nodded at Yeo Jin-sang’s words. Navin may think he sneaked out of the house, but how can he fool the martial arts expert’s attention?

He knew everything but pretended not to know.

Ho Cheon-an played a few rounds of chess and then got up.

The spirits may be doing well on their own, but there was still a need to check how they were playing.

‘If the atmosphere is good, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try to improve the relationship.’

Ho Cheon-an headed to the vacant lot where the spirits were resting.

Ho Cheon-an hurriedly gestured to the spirits who noticed his presence and turned their heads, hiding behind a tree and looking at Navin.

Navin was attaching flowers to Mukgeum’s horn.

‘hmm…’

Mukgeum has literally become a deer with flowers on its horns. When I looked to the side, I saw that there was a flower hanging on Seogong’s tail and a flower anklet on Miho’s foot.

Miho was lifting her flower-covered feet and tilting her head with a questioning look in her eyes, asking, ‘Why do I have to wear something like this?’

Why are you attaching such a cumbersome thing? I can’t even eat it.

Miho opened her mouth, thinking she should just tear it up.

It was that time.

Miho, who was about to bite off the anklet, saw Ho Cheon-an desperately repeating hand gestures, tilted her head, closed her snout, and put her foot down.

While Ho Cheon-an breathed a sigh of relief after barely managing to protect his innocence, Navin clapped his hands in joy as if he had just finished decorating Muk-geum.

“Pretty, pretty!”

Will Mukgeum, a stag, really accept the flower decoration positively?

Ho Cheon-an was worried that Muk-geum might also reject the flowers, but fortunately, Muk-geum was mature. Ho Cheon-an breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Navin silently patting Navin’s cheek.

“Umm…”

Navin’s gaze soon landed on Seokwoong and Hwajeo. At first glance, they both seemed to want to decorate themselves, but they couldn’t bring themselves to do it.

Navin hesitated, then hung a flower on the tip of Hwajeo’s molars.

“Hing.”

As if it wasn’t obvious to him, Navin expressed his disappointment and drooped his shoulders.

“Hehe, it suits you well.”

Navin was startled and woke up when he suddenly heard Ho Cheon-an’s voice coming from behind him. Ho Cheon-an smiled bitterly as he saw Navin’s expression suddenly change into a wary expression.

“Thank you for decorating the spirits.”

Navin hid behind the mukgeum in silence. Instead of forcing himself to approach Navin, Ho Cheon-an sat down on the spot.

Ssss!!

Hocheonan sat down, but instead, numerous flowers rose into the air. Ho Cheon-an picked flowers out of thin air, piled them in front of him, and started making a wreath.

At best, it was only a matter of weaving flower branches, so it was an easy task for Ho Cheon-an, who had extreme dexterity, and two large flower crowns were created in an instant.

Hocheonan held out the two garlands to Navin.

“How do you feel? Don’t you think it would look quite nice if hung on the horn of the flower base?”

Navin, who had been watching Hocheonan’s hand movements, swallowed dry saliva and looked at the flower crown. Navin, who was conflicted between his desire to decorate the flower crown and his desire to distance himself from Ho Cheon-an, eventually accepted the flower crown.

Soon, a flower crown was hung on each of the flower’s molars. Perhaps because of the scent of flowers, Hwajeo, who had closed her eyes, opened them and cried.

Quirk.

A body the size of a house and horns the size of a human body. The two wreaths hanging on the horn were a combination that seemed like an exaggeration to Ho Cheon-an’s sensibilities, but Navin must have been very satisfied with it, and a smile appeared on his face.

Ho Cheon-an quietly suggested.

“Would you like to make a wreath to give to Seokwoong? I’ll teach you my ways.”

Navin looked at Hocheonan and Seokwoong alternately and thought about it, but when Seokwoong let out a pitiful cry at the right time, Navin had no choice but to nod.

“…I like it.”

The surrounding flowers gathered at Ho Cheon-an’s gestures, and Ho Cheon-an showed them how to make a simple wreath. As it was a strong method, the knots and loops were quite complicated for a child to follow, but Naveen was able to follow along easily after just one or two demonstrations.

Ho Cheon-an and Navin wove their hands for a long time in silence, weaving the wreath. Soon, a flower-shaped ring was placed on Seokwoong’s head.

Navin, who was looking at this with a proud expression, looked back at Hocheonan.

“Is the reason my grandfather is so nice to me because he wants me to become his disciple?”

Ho Cheon-an, who was preparing various condescending remarks, completely cleared his mind when he saw Navin calmly trying to accept his situation.

“It is for treatment. Your constitution is difficult to treat with normal methods. Jeongsam and Yeo Jinsang also care about you, but they want to let you go because they want you to live a long life.”

“…Treatment.”

Navin bit his lip.

In fact, Navin himself knew best that he was not in good health. No matter how well I chewed my food, I was shorter and weaker than my peers. And the gap is gradually widening.

I also knew that my family was worried about me.

Navin looked at Hocheonan.

To Navin, Ho Cheon-an was a person from a completely different world. A person who can discover hidden secrets just by stroking his head, moves objects without even touching them, and drags around these spirit creatures.

To Navin, Ho Cheon-an was closer to a spirit than a person.

They say that such a person will heal them.

Navin also knew that the current situation was an opportunity. A chance for a genius that may never come again in your lifetime.

I was just afraid.

Leaving the village that loved and cherished you and going outside, where there were only harsh memories.

But is that still the case?

Squeak.

Navin looked at Seogong who was looking up at him from his feet. I only left the village a few steps after following Seogong, but the forest was full of mysterious spirits.

Navin looked back at those spirit creatures and thought. Yesterday and today were really fun. Maybe it would be fun to go outside the village with the spirits.

“I will do it. Disciple.”

Naveen made up his mind.

*** ***

Jeong-sam and Yeo Jin-sang’s family were in tears. Women hugging Naveen and crying. These guys are anxious because they can’t provide even one thing for them. The children also prepared their own farewells.

“Keuheung, I’m sorry I’m not good enough.”

“Ugh. How can I endure the journey with this small body?”

Ho Cheon-an looked at Jeong-sam and Yeo Jin-sang squabbling with Navin and smiled bitterly. They told me to take them away, but the sight of them pouring out tears and snot was both sad and funny at the same time, so I really didn’t know what kind of expression to make.

“You guys. I’ll be back once again as soon as possible, so stop dragging your feet. My whole face will be destroyed. Don’t worry, I will take good care of you.”

“Keuungheung! How can that cold-blooded bastard take care of a child…!”

“What does a widower who couldn’t even get married know about children…kehehehehe…!”

A vein appeared on Ho Cheon-an’s forehead. Since we’re breaking up anyway, should we just let go one night at a time? Ho Cheon-an, who was seriously contemplating whether to hit her one by one, barely managed to shake off his anger as he looked at Navin.

“It’s okay. Grandfathers. I’ll definitely come back when I’m healthy!”

Even Navin, who was the one involved in the breakup, was behaving politely.

“Heungheunghehehe!”

“Ughhh!!”

“Children, please! Do it in moderation!”

In the end, Ho Cheon-an had no choice but to grab Navin’s collar and forcefully separate the two people who would not let go.

“You bastard! I have to come back quickly!”

“Just come back tomorrow!”

Ho Cheon-an shakes his head as if he is sick of the two people screaming at the entrance to the village, and Navin smiles slightly when he sees Ho Cheon-an.

Ho Cheon-an said as he picked Navin up and placed him on Hwa-jeo’s back.

“Then, are we really going to leave now?”

“Yes.”

Squeak!

Hwajeo, who had been resting in the vacant lot for several days and was full of energy, ran forward with a powerful sound.

“Aaagh!”

With Navin, who happily cheers at the speed.

The journey of Ho Cheon-an, Venerable Thunderer, has resumed.
