Chapter Index

    There is always a master in heaven.

    The sun emits powerful heat and light during the day, and the moon illuminates the world with coldness at night.

    But there was a time when the power of those masters weakened, and that was at dawn.

    When the morning star rose and took care of the world in the absence of the sun and moon, it was the time when diligent people began their daily routine.

    Even in Seomhwachon, which seemed quiet compared to other places, it was common for people to get up and start working.

    The farmers’ mornings are early, and although it is small, the people of the village love the morning market, so the merchants who go to the market are as diligent as the farmers.

    The blacksmith pounding iron uses the cold air of dawn to gradually heat up as the blacksmith tries to avoid the heat of the furnace.

    And, at that time, the only guesthouse in Seomhwachon opened for morning business.

    Although the owner of the guesthouse had left for a while, that did not mean that the guesthouse itself was not working.

    The faithful servants sweep the yard, and in the kitchen, a servant who recently arrived goes inside to do the morning business.

    Normally, the owner would have come down and helped with the business, but since the owner was away for a few days, I couldn’t see him.

    That’s why Chaejin couldn’t erase his sullen expression.

    “Ha.”

    I felt very strange not being able to see the people I used to see every day. As you get used to staying there, you get used to it.

    It feels so strange just by his absence.

    It’s clear that my heart is broken.

    Chaejin took a sip of tea to suppress her upset stomach.

    “Why are you so dead?”

    The person who spoke to her was Yohwan, who had recently come to stay at this guest house.

    Yohwan brought the island canvas and vegetable soup that Yuwol had made and improved himself and placed them in front of her. He chuckled at her as she munched on the island canvas with a sullen expression.

    “Start in the morning and good luck will come.”

    “I understand. By the way, how were the ingredients you brought me yesterday?”

    He remembered that Chaejin went to get ingredients at his and Changju’s request and came late last night. Yohwan thought about the ingredients at that time and nodded.

    “With that amount, you can make plenty of medicinal dishes.”

    “That’s a good thing.”

    Chaejin and Yohwan were both startled by the voice coming from the stairs. Because he was an unexpected person.

    The person trudging down the stairs is the owner of this guesthouse, dressed in black. It was June.

    “Huh? When did you come?”

    “Arrived around dawn.”

    “Don’t say…”

    “I deliberately did not include a message because I thought you were sleeping. Yohwan. Could you give me mine too?”

    “Oh. Okay.”

    Yuwol naturally sat in front of Chaejin and placed what she took out of her arms on the table. A fan the size of your palm. Chaejin, who was staring at it, asked with a serious expression.

    “Isn’t this Changwoon-gwan’s Dharma book?”

    “Hmm. It’s called Bacho Line.”

    “I see. Then when do you install this?”

    A smile appeared on his sullen face until just a moment ago.

    When she asked brightly, feeling a sense of familiarity and comfort in the seemingly awkward guest room, Yuwol answered very calmly.

    “Tonight.”

    ***

    Although I was tired from driving the cart late, I couldn’t delay work. I sighed as I looked at the perilla seed on the table.

    “…Why are you looking like that?”

    I shook my head at Chaejin’s worried voice.

    “Nothing.”

    “Hmm. So? Where should I install this?”

    “There is space in the basement, so you can install it there.”

    “I understand. Then, please call me whenever you are ready.”

    Chaejin spoke leisurely, and I nodded.

    If we install the flag and flagpole wire obtained during our visit to Changwoon Pavilion at the same time, the quality of the items that can be made here will increase.

    In that case, I should also tell Changju, who is currently working on production.

    “By the way, did you get the ingredients well?”

    “Huh? huh. Because I got everything I needed…”

    “Good job.”

    You did really well.

    Whether Changju or Yohwan, they are important agents in Island Flower Village. As such, it wouldn’t be difficult to respond to the first scenario if we could properly provide them with the necessary materials.

    Equipment and supplies are essential for proper space defense.

    “Then enjoy it.”

    “Oh? Is that just the end?”

    “…Hmm? iced coffee. yes. Thank you for your hard work, the cost is…”

    “No. That’s not it.”

    Chaejin smiled.

    “Can we go out together later?”

    “Hmm… I guess so.”

    I have to go to Changju as well, and I heard that a geombang will be built while I was visiting Changun Gwan, so I have to go there as well.

    I was planning on moving around lunchtime, but I guess we can go together then.

    After the morning business was over, I did Ogeumhee, Chae was forced to learn Tai Chi, and I finished the backlog of work, I came down to the guesthouse.

    Why is there no free day?

    “Hey. Guest drinker. Are you saying you’re going out? Bring me Changju.”

    What Yohwan held out was a box of food. Are you trying to feed me lunch separately? Maybe it’s not a combination of side dishes?

    I opened the box slightly and found that it was well filled.

    “…Why are you looking at that?”

    “Ah. just. I was wondering if they had packed something for me.”

    Yohwan grinned as if he saw all the nonsense. And after a while, footsteps are heard on the stairs.

    “Now! Let’s go!”

    Chaejin came down wearing the Moonwoljeong attire she usually wore.

    Yohwan glances at her, laughs again, and goes back inside.

    what? Why are you smiling?”

    “Did you do something wrong with Yohwan?”

    “No? There is no such thing.”

    She shrugged her shoulders and lightly tapped me on the back.

    “Where do you plan to go first?”

    “Once I received the food, I plan to meet in Changju first.”

    “I see. ruler! Let’s go!”

    Chaejin, who seemed oddly lively, spoke leisurely, and we went straight outside.

    “Maybe it’s because I’ve only been to places with lots of people these days… It feels a bit unfamiliar.”

    “Isn’t it because of your mood?”

    “Is that so? Hehehe.”

    There was no more talk. But it wasn’t awkward or surprising just because we didn’t talk about anything.

    As I walked leisurely and arrived at the amulet room provided by the coffin, I found Changju there with a perplexed expression on his face.

    “Hello.”

    “What? Welcome.”

    “Yohwan asked me to deliver lunch. Now.”

    I placed the wrapping cloth on the wide table. Changju, who was happy to see this, quickly opened the box of boxes.

    “Wow! Did I only put in what I like?”

    “That’s good.”

    “There are a lot of portions, so why not eat them together?”

    I looked at Chaejin, and she sat down naturally. It seems like they have become close in their own way during the few days I was gone.

    “I guess I’ll have to write a talisman for Yohwan later.”

    “Since it’s a talisman, there’s something I’d like to ask you for…”

    I placed the moonstone on the table. I had received it from Ochil a long time ago. Changju, who was looking at this silently, let out a short sigh and then his eyes flashed.

    “This is a good guy. Where did you get it?”

    There is no need to hide it, and it is not a story worth hiding. I explained the circumstances of how I met Ochil, and after listening for a while, she stopped eating and took a deep breath.

    “I guess I was really thankful. This is pretty good quality. There could also be a blood pencil… With this, I could use two amulets.”

    “Oh. Then, please take care of me. The price is…”

    “A. What is the fee? it’s okay. That’s it.”

    Changju joked and tapped the box of boxes. Are you saying you want to pay for food? It’s good for me.

    Because I know very well how much it costs to make a proper amulet.

    “By the way, have you been to a blacksmith shop?”

    “I’m thinking of going now. Is there any problem?”

    “Huh? no. Specifically? Still, I thought you might be curious since it is being made on your land.”

    “I’m curious.”

    “Then we can go after eating. Because it’s not that far from here.”

    So we finished the conversation and finished eating. Changju, who had simply made some tea, held out the teacup and pointed to Chaejin.

    “But what are you doing with Wolgwangdo?”

    “Hmm. exactly. Do you know anything about Changwoon-gwan’s Dharma Treasure?”

    “I know, I know. uh? Are you sure you want to install it here? It won’t be easy, right?”

    “Oh my? Do you know?”

    “Of course… if the guest brought it… it must be perilla seed.”

    “That’s right.”

    “It won’t be easy to install it. Are you okay?”

    Changju’s gaze was focused on Chaejin. Is that why? Chaejin just smiled confidently.

    “What do you think of me? It doesn’t matter what it is, right?”

    “No. Well… what you need when installing a law is how well you can coordinate it with each other.”

    “You saw it last time, right?”

    “Hmm. Is that going to work? but. If it’s your decision, there’s no problem. Do your best.”

    “Don’t worry.”

    “Anyway, I think I will benefit if it is installed… I think we need to do something. Is there anything you need?”

    Changju smiled brightly. Then he briefly introduced the ingredients for making a talisman, and I shook my head.

    “I want you to focus on what you have to do.”

    Because that’s what I want most.

    After meeting with Changju, Chaejin and I headed straight to the blacksmith shop. The building that had been built in the empty plains of the mountains had already been completed, and people in official uniform were coming and going.

    “It’s pretty big.”

    “It looks like they make it properly. Anyway, I heard the ore is the problem…”

    Well, you need good iron to make good equipment.

    When I entered the sword room while listening to Chaejin’s shaking voice, I saw quite a few blacksmiths hammering iron.

    and.

    “Hmm? Oooh. You are the landlord!!”

    A rather large old man approached me with a smile, and I couldn’t help but admire him.

    and. Is it connected like this?

    “It is said to be the barracks where the iron horse barracks were previously worked.”

    barracks.

    In Part 4, the old man is able to make a treasured sword after hearing the sound of iron.

    and.

    From Part 2, he takes pity on Sayun and makes her a weapon.

    I couldn’t help but smile at him.

    I never thought it would be connected like this.

    Surely Noya was the person brought by the prefect?

    …I’ll have to bring a lot of medicinal dishes and medicinal liquor to the wise man’s house today.
