“But what is that?”

Among the luggage Hongryeon brought with her was a bundle. When I pointed to it, she smiled so brightly that I thought her previous tone was a lie.

“Ah. this. It’s no big deal. Gift.”

I opened the bundle and found a set of clothes there.

It was a pretty good long gun.

It’s sturdy, probably made of the fabric I gave it, and although it doesn’t have any special decorations, it looks pretty good, probably because they used different fabrics.

I knew you were good with your hands, but I didn’t know you could make things this well.

“You must have had a hard time making it?”

“Heh. This is nothing. The kids had a hard time.”

“Hmm?”

“I made these clothes by myself, but the kids did the work I had to do. They are good kids.”

Hongryeon sent a warm gaze towards Sayun. The gaze is completely opposite to the one he gave Chaejin earlier.

Is it because of that gaze? Sayoon shrugged her shoulders in shame.

” Dog, it is also a gift to the guest. And I also studied a lot. I really wanted to try making clothes.”

“So?”

“Yes. The same goes for Master and other sisters, and when my sisters come in later, I want to make training clothes for them as well. And… with the guest. Hehehe.”

The last word you swallowed was probably ‘uncle’, right? I smiled happily and nodded.

“Learn a lot.”

“Yes!”

“Ah. And you must be hungry.”

I woke up a little early and handed out the island canvas I had made. After Yohwan came into the guest house, I also left the morning business to her.

After trying the seomhwapo I made, she said it wasn’t bad but needed some improvement, so she improved it by adding a few methods, and thanks to that, the seomhwapo became more delicious.

“This is delicious.”

“Didn’t you hear what I said? An old man named Yohwan, who worked as a palace attendant, came to work at my guesthouse.”

“How did you hire the imperial palace attendant?”

I sat down in the carriage and swung the reins. Accordingly, the horse begins to move.

How did you hire him?

“My speaking skills are not that good, so I don’t know if it will be fun. Then, let me tell you the story.”

While listening to the sound of the island gun firing, I told him about what happened at Cheongho.

I have to travel all day today, so I hope it becomes a good topic of conversation.

The moving speed was not that fast. Because we set off with some time to spare, and this trip was also for Sayoon.

It would be nice to see the scenery along the road, and it would also be nice to take a break at a suitable place.

“I will take a short rest here and then leave.”

There was a campsite near the stream. Could it have been made by other travelers? This is a place where there are piles of stones and traces of a fire.

When I stopped the horse, Hongryeon, who was riding the cart, grabbed my shoulder.

“Aren’t you tired?”

“This is okay.”

“Mmm. I’m sorry about this.”

There is no need to do that. I shook my head as if it was no big deal, and Hongryeon smiled bitterly.

“Then I’ll make lunch for you.”

“I already packed it. Just warm it up enough and it will do.”

I asked Yohwan to do it for me. I pointed to one of the luggage and Hongryeon laughed after unpacking it.

The basket made of bamboo contained well-made rice balls and stir-fried meat in a steamer.

“I prepared thoroughly.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to prepare well before going? And I told you. I will take care of things like travel expenses.”

I’m just going to do some work, but for Sayun, it will be like her first outing.

So, you should enjoy it as much as possible.

Of course, monsters may appear along the way, but that can’t be helped.

You can only think of it as practical training.

“Now. First of all, we need to warm up the food… so let’s eat the rice balls first. Sayoon. You too, come.”

“Oh! Yes!”

I made a bonfire and put a pot on it. I took water from the stream and put a steamer on it. If you warm it up a little, it will get warm quickly.

“I will eat well!”

Only after I took the first bite of the green onion salad did Sayun take a bite of the rice ball she was holding with both hands. and.

“Wow! wow! This, this… this…”

I can’t speak and am embarrassed. What can you do with just one rice ball?

“…This is awesome. It’s not just rice, right?”

“Hmm?”

I also put a rice ball in my mouth. No matter what or how you did it, the flavor of the rice is amazing.

“Is this the skill of an imperial palace master… Can I go and learn it later?”

“It doesn’t matter… Is the time okay?”

“Hehe. If you want to feed your kids, you have to learn.”

Hongryeon looked at the rice balls in amazement.

While we finished eating one or two rice balls, the warm stir-fried meat was brought to us, and not only I, but Hongryeon and Sayun were also impressed by the taste and ended our meal happily.

“We’ll do the dishes.”

After the meal, I tried to wash the dishes, but Hongryeon and Sayoon tried to stop me.

I ended up getting pushed out by two people, and while they were washing dishes, I made tea.

“I’ll drink it well.”

“Thank you!”

It’s a little hot, but it’s nice weather. A day when there is not a single cloud in the sky and the sky is blue.

It was a truly beautiful and peaceful day, perfect for sitting on a warm rock and sipping tea.

Birds are chirping and flowers are blooming.

On days like this.

-Keee!!

“…All those monsters should be burning in hell.”

That’s amazing timing.

I saw a monster flying from beyond.

A monster with a human face, sharp teeth, and only a floating head. It was Bidhuman.

It would have been more funny if a skull was shown.

Anyway, the number is three.

I sighed as I saw it flying towards me like crazy, showing its teeth like saw blades.

I thought it was a good day.

“Sa-yoon.”

There was no way Hongryeon could not see what I had discovered. She opened her mouth calmly, and Sayun put down the teacup and smiled brightly.

“I will take care of it, so don’t worry too much.”

“Are you okay?”

“Of course. Me too.”

-Grumbling.

“It’s Hong Seong-moon’s drone.”

The sword that was sleeping in its scabbard was revealed.

Long sword. A reward that can be obtained from the secret scenery discovered in Hongseongmun’s underground cave.

A commonly known ‘pretty’ sword that emits light as the user grows and the sword’s skill level increases.

Sayoon, who pulled it out, was not just a nice kid I met here.

“I’m going.”

He was a decent prosecutor.

Bidouman itself was not a very strong monster.

Although it flies freely in the sky, its only means of attack is lunging and biting with its teeth.

Since it was a monster that was easy to catch even in the Heavenly Moon, it didn’t seem difficult for Sayun to deal with Biduman.

-Suddenly!!

When only one Bidou came down to hit Sayun, her body moved smoothly.

The sword was dodged by stepping on the floor as if sweeping it, and then struck straight down. At the same time, Bidouman’s wing-like ears were cut off and fell to the ground, and Sayun stretched out his foot towards them.

Wow. Only Bidu, who was hit hard by the blow, rolled on the floor, and as if taking advantage of it, the other two Biduman attacked.

“Don’t worry. Sayoon is also very talented.”

I guess so.

Even in Heavenly Moon, I learned the latter part of Hongseong Shinkong on my own without any instruction.

According to the letter that Sayun sent, she had already emitted light from her sword.

It is not easy to build up proficiency in the Stylish Sword.

You really have to make an effort to vomit blood.

It hasn’t been that long since Sayun got that sword.

She does not only practice martial arts like other disciples of Moon Woljeong.

She even does other things to maintain Hong Seong-moon and help other sisters-in-law.

And yet light was extracted from the sword?

I could see how hard and focused she had been training.

“Sometimes, when I come out at night, I see Sayun training alone. Why are you so enthusiastic? He said he doesn’t know how to do anything, but there are many people he needs to repay.”

Hongryeon watched Sayun happily, as if she were watching her special youngest sibling.

“They say that in order to do that, you have to study martial arts hard.”

“It’s not wrong.”

“Yes. So it’s a little sad.”

Hongryeon said bitterly and looked at me.

“Thanks to you, Sayun has learned other joys… but I still feel like it’s not enough.”

“Well, I seem to have a lot on my mind right now, so won’t it be okay once I get it sorted out?”

“Is that so? Ugh.”

She let out a small sigh and sipped her tea. She had just defeated the second Viduman and was stretching her legs towards the third Viduman.

It will be over soon.

Sayoon, who came back after easily defeating Biduman, did not look very tired.

It was strong.

More than I thought.

“You worked hard.”

“No! This is nothing, right?”

“Still, it wouldn’t have been easy in practice.”

“Hehe. It’s really nothing compared to sparring with Master, right?”

No, you shouldn’t compare it to Geomseong.

Even though it was an event scene, an apprentice who was said to be of the same level as a swordsman took on one of the four evil evils alone and made him run away…

Anyway, we defeated the monster without much trouble, and we rode the cart again.

Moving like that, resting for a while, resting again for a while, until the sun sets.

At the end of the road, I was able to see a tall mountain with a pretty nice view.

That place is Changunsan Mountain.

It was the place where Changwoon Pavilion, which enshrined the eight virtues of Taoism, was located.

“That’s Palseonchon, right?”

“That’s right.”

As Hongryeon said, a village was formed at the foot of Changunsan Mountain. It was a fairly large village next to a river, and it was called Palseonchon after the Palseon.

A lot of people stayed here to defend against an attack on Changwoon Pavilion, one of the recurring events in Heavenly Moon, and seeing the village mentioned in the gallery made me smile bitterly.

It’s a place I’ve been to many times before.

While imagining that time, I saw a bustling village.

Since it was a famous place frequently visited by martial artists and merchants, the village itself was clearly quite developed.

As if to prove it, Palseonchon was shining like broad daylight even though it was dark.

“Where do you plan on staying?”

“Well. I’m thinking of going to the guest house. They say it’s quiet there and the food is delicious,”

“Oh~. Where did you hear that?”

“I heard it before when I went to Yangwiseong. ruler. Let’s go.”

How far did the cart travel? When the cart stopped in front of a reasonably large guesthouse, Jeomsoi came out from inside.

“Oh my! How many people are there?”

“Three. Please give me two rooms.”

“Yes!!”

I left the horse and cart and came down with my luggage. When we entered the guesthouse, there were a few martial artists sitting there, but they just looked at us blankly.

Since it is a place where martial people often come and it is a famous place, I guess there was nothing strange about the martial people.

After finding a room and coming down, I sat down at the table and asked the two.

“Is there anything you would like to eat?”

“Somen?”

“Me too.”

“As you know, Palseonchon is a famous attraction, and it is a place where martial artists from all over the continent stop by. As such, it is also a place where products from all over the continent gather. They also want to let them know about products from their region and get them to buy them.”

“Yes. They said so.”

“That’s why I heard there are a lot of interesting things in the night market, a lot to eat, and a lot to see. Let’s have a quick meal, go there, fill our stomachs with snacks, and look around.”

At my suggestion, Hongryeon looked at Sayun.

Is it because they say you can see products from all over the continent at the night market?

Her eyes twinkled and her shoulders trembled.

“Uh. But, Mr. Guest… I’ve been driving the cart all day today…”

“Because that’s nothing. I said it before, right? Don’t think too complicatedly. All you have to do now is decide whether to go or not.”

Sayoon closed her eyes tightly. After thinking for a moment, he spoke carefully with a slightly red face.

“I want to go…”

“Okay. Then will you go together?”

Hongryeon grinned as if it was natural.

“I am always welcome.”
