***

Na Ye-rin was a good teacher, but she was not a good writer.

The reason was simple.

She was an excellent warrior, but she was not an excellent manager.

However, the reason why Hong Seong-moon was able to maintain his current power was because of his first disciple Hongryeon.

If it weren’t for her, who looks easy-going and generous, but is meticulous and talented, Hong Seong-moon would have already collapsed and Na Ye-rin would have become a rogue who moves from power to power.

Although Hongryeon had a hard time because she had Na Ye-rin as her teacher, who was clumsy in areas not related to martial arts and even spoke profane language, she never once thought of disliking her teacher, Geomseong.

To her, Na Yerin left her teacher.

It was because he was the ideal person she liked.

Because he has the strong eyes of someone who does not let anything in the world break his will.

Therefore, Hongryeon continued to assist her teacher, who was truly a poor teacher.

“Hmm…”

One of the parts of that assistance is linkage with the Murim Alliance.

Hong Seong-moon is clearly a political faction and moves according to the logic of the political faction.

In particular, the recent events taking place in the martial arts community were unusual, so as Hong Seong-moon’s great disciple, he had no choice but to engage in outside activities.

Because she is already one of the strongest female experts known as Nakilgeom in martial arts,

When I returned to Hongseongmun after completing the work I had to do outside on behalf of Na Yerin, the sun had already set.

The other sisters are probably training in the evening. She smiled as she looked at the bamboo box in her right hand.

The sweets packed in the box will be able to bring laughter to the sisters who are tired from training.

When I think about that smile, I think of things that happened in the Murim Alliance.

Bad eyes.

For example, having a lust for one’s appearance.

Or revealing a useless desire for the martial arts of a swordsman.

Or, he wants to make himself stand out by borrowing Hong Seong-moon’s prestige.

I was able to erase some of the complaints I received from such people.

“I’m here!!”

She shouted loudly as she forcefully opened the front door of Hongseongmun. Is it because of the shouts filled with energy? The sisters who had been training at the training center welcomed them with happy smiles.

Hongryeon lifted the bamboo box in her hands towards them.

“Everyone worked hard during training! Eat this first before washing! Of course, after sweating a lot, I was filled with desire and wanted to play with my hands…”

“Sister!!”

Ryu Hyeon, who became the second disciple of the Sword Saint after himself and took care of the sisters and managed Hongseongmun in his absence, shouted.

That guy is all good, but the problem is that he’s stuck.

Especially in a place where only sisters who have passed puberty are present, if they are not properly released, a serious accident may occur.

Those guys aren’t kids, and I need to know these things with knowledge so I can get along better with the people I really love later.

That’s why Hongryeon smiled at Ryu Hyeon, who came up to her with a grin, and took out a book from her bag and held it out.

“Huh? what it this? New martial arts…”

“A very wonderful piece called Hyeophwachunilmong. I found a must-read book in this era.”

“…But what is this mark?”

“Just read it quickly?”

What Ryu Hyeon’s finger was pointing at was the red word ‘Chun (春)’ inside a red circle. Seeing that, Hongryeon responded indifferently, but Ryu Hyeon was just astonished. Therefore, he had no hesitation in grabbing the ear of Great Disciple Hong Seong-moon.

“Ouch. Hold on gently. Gently. I am your sister!”

“It’s Spring Festival! Spring! Why are you bringing this up when you have kids now?!”

Ryuhyun, who was whispering in her ear with his face as bright as blush, couldn’t hold back in the end.

Her sharp and spicy palm hits Hongryeon’s back with a loud sound.

Despite the pain that followed the snapping sound, Hongryeon just smiled.

“You’re piled up.”

“It’s not stacked?! Ahhh…”

To lie. I saw Hongryeon.

It’s been a long time since she secretly borrowed her spring painting and played with it in a secret place.

He even read through all of his spring books and is already reading them for the third time.

I brought a new spring book for her, but she didn’t know how she felt.

Goooyan girl.

But I had no intention of exposing the wicked sister’s secret and tormenting her.

As he himself thoroughly distinguished between reality and delusion, he did not feel the need to hide it.

So, through this, he relieves the oppression and burden that came from managing Hong Seong-moon, but not Ryu Hyun.

If there are a hundred people, there are a hundred ways.

“Ah… but what is that?”

Only then did Hongryeon lift up the bamboo box in her other hand and show me the bamboo box.

“I still had something to say about this. Everyone must have had a hard time getting trained, so take it one by one.”

“Yes!!”

The sisters quickly begin to line up. Hongryeon smiled at the sisters who were swallowing their saliva while looking at the sweets. And then he pats it on the outstretched hand.

As the number of sisters who received colorful confections increased, the warmth in the dance hall increased.

After giving it to so many sisters, the last one is the youngest.

It is said that there is no finger that hurts after biting off ten fingers, but the youngest, Sayoon, whose finger was a little more bothersome among the sisters, was looking at her with a smile.

Her favorite eyes.

Eyes that know pride and do not break.

Hongryeon placed a sweet on the palm of Sayun, the lovely youngest child with those eyes, and smiled handsomely.

“Now. Everyone got it, right?!”

“Yes!! I will eat well!”

“Hmm!”

After nodding firmly, the sisters began to munch and eat the sweets. Some people eat it in one bite, while others just mutter about it, saying they eat it sparingly.

But everyone was having fun and being happy.

She was so happy to see it that she swallowed the sweets herself and kept the rest to give to her teacher before speaking calmly.

“After the Hongseong examination training, which will be held in 20 days, Hong Seong-moon also leaves. I’m planning to go down to the village.”

“Why? I bought everything I needed…”

To the curious sisters, she casually explained what happened today. Everyone cheers.

Anyway, it was a time when they were very energetic and wanted to eat fatty food.

Of course, such dishes are not good for learning martial arts, but Hongryeon knew better that Hongseong Shingong was not such a low-level martial arts that one’s achievements would be lowered by eating only a few things.

While everyone was happy, there was a girl who gently raised her hand. The youngest was Sayun.

“Uh… Then what should Master do? Are you going too, Master?”

As the youngest, she also knew that Geomseong rarely attended such events.

Everyone’s eyes are focused on Hongryeon.

How could I go out and eat, leaving my heavenly teacher behind?

The good feeling starts to fall into the abyss in an instant. What was remarkable, though, was how hard he tried to manage his facial expressions.

That’s why Hongryeon grinned and roughly stroked Sayun’s head.

“I’ll prepare at least so don’t worry.”

***

The daily routine does not change much. When he wakes up in the morning, he calls Jeomsoi and the servants together and instructs them to clean the guesthouse. When the cleaning was finished, the guest of this guest came down from the dorm and said that since he had been working since lunch, everyone went out and bought breakfast.

It wasn’t a good thing to see from my perspective. Isn’t it natural?

Money and power are essential to achieve my goals.

Of course, I have a lot of money now, but that doesn’t mean I can spend it all.

Wherever you can, you should collect as much as possible.

That’s why I prepared breakfast like never before.

There was nothing special.

It’s an Indian-style roti made from whole wheat that almost eliminates the fermentation process, and the leftover meat or vegetables from the day before are chopped, seasoned, stir-fried, and then baked.

It’s easy to dispose of miscellaneous ingredients, tastes good, and most of all, it’s cheap, so recently, even workers working nearby have been coming to buy it.

“Guest guest! There are three island cotton cannons!”

“Are you coming?”

If you eat it right away, it’s hot and delicious, but if you eat it after it cools down, it’s just a little hard, but not hard to eat.

Perhaps that’s why some people even took it out and ate it for lunch.

Thanks to this, the income earned from selling breakfast was quite good.

With this, I’ll have to buy Sayun some sweets one more time.

“There are no materials. Now.”

“Business is over today!”

“A. I was planning to buy a few more.”

A few people waiting grumbled, but that’s none of my business.

“Put away the ingredients that came in early in the morning.”

What is important in cooking is not only skill, but the freshness of the ingredients cannot be ignored.

However, since we sell in this way in the morning, it becomes rare to have ingredients whose freshness is important left over, so we end up buying new ingredients every day.

Thanks to that, the taste of guesthouse dishes has improved. It was only a good thing from my perspective as I had to make money.

ruler. Well, now that I’m done with work this morning, let’s move on to my personal routine.

Since Chun-sik’s family came last time, the atmosphere in Seomhwachon couldn’t be said to be good, to say the least.

The number of followers coming here secretly has increased.

Of course, they weren’t making a big fuss, but it couldn’t be helped that the atmosphere itself was clouded by them.

After finishing the morning business, I headed to the market while the clerks and servants were resting.

It was necessary to investigate because we could not rule out the possibility that it was the Sangvis’s actions that had clouded the atmosphere of the island village.

So, as usual, as I was passing through the market and heading toward the alley, a place to gather insidious rumors, I felt a sign of presence near a deserted alley.

“What is it?”

I stopped and opened my mouth. At the same time, sturdy men came out from the front and back of the alley. The fact that he was holding a club or a knife in his hand didn’t seem like he wanted to have a friendly conversation.

“June. Right?”

“No? You got the wrong person. I am a person named Wang Jungyang…”

“…Hit.”

Oh, this doesn’t work.

I shrugged my shoulders and picked up a piece of wood that was commonly found in the alley. I tried to threaten them by brandishing wooden blocks, but they just smiled coldly and approached me…

-Taaa!!

“Billion!!”

It was then. One of the guys who was trying to come after me fell to the floor, holding his head. When they turned their heads away from me, startled by the sudden situation, I swung my wooden block towards the area where the siege had weakened.

-Baaagh!

“Kkong!”

The man who had been hit on the head fell down with a bizarre scream, and the person who had created the situation just now appeared.

The ceremonial uniform looks like it is worn out and worn out here and there.

Long gray hair that goes down to the back.

A slim, oval-shaped jawline, pure white skin.

The slightly raised eyes are provocative, and the smile on small, pale pink lips.

It’s a face I know.

However, it is a face that looks much younger than the face I am familiar with.

The beautiful girl who was looking at me while holding a wooden sword quickly grabbed my hand.

“Here!!”

The girl ran with me, taking advantage of the break in the siege.

The short girl, whose height couldn’t even reach my chest, swung her wooden sword without hesitation at the enemies that appeared as she ran, and I also swung my wooden sword to take them down.

Only after leaving the alley and arriving at a crowded place did the girl relax and smile kindly with a red face.

But that smile.

It was a smile I was not used to.

“Are you okay?! It was almost dangerous!!”

She smiles, something unfamiliar to members of the Sayun Dan.

That kind smile that she sometimes wore when she was with her sisters at the head office.

Sayoon.

She was the girl I had to make the main character.
