As soon as morning came the next day, we headed straight to Murimmaeng. Then, I went to the inspection department, met with Chu Young, and explained the situation.

As she listened to our story, she thought for a moment and nodded.

“Okay. Well, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use this opportunity to incur debt to the Ministry of Defense. But is it okay for you not to take charge until the end?”

“Yes. It doesn’t matter.”

Chuyoung nodded at Hongryeon’s refreshing answer.

“In that case, we should call a meeting right away. Hongryeon. You too, participate.”

“Huh? Me too?”

“Of course it should be so. And Chaejin. You too.”

“ek. Why do I.”

“Because there needs to be perspectives from other departments as well. I need to report on how this matter was handled.”

Although Chae-jin was not under his direct control, he was a senior in the martial arts world and held a high position within the martial arts alliance. Chae-jin looked fed up at the words, but could not reject them.

As the two entered the meeting, Chuyoung smiled and looked at Hyeonhwi, Sayun, and Chaeryeon.

“You don’t have to participate, so take your time. If you want, you can take a closer look at the Murim League…”

“I wanted to take a look around the Mungakseong Fortress, and it turned out well. I can just walk around while my sisters participate in the meeting, right?”

Chaeryeon smiled brightly and grabbed my arm.

“Would you like to go with us?”

“I think it would be better if we go together. Today I just want to rest…”

“Ahaha. Don’t worry about us.”

“Yes. Just go. Since the meeting is one day anyway, I can go again tomorrow.”

“Hmm. In that case, I will not decline.”

I decided to accept their consideration. When Chuyoung left with the two of us, I saw Hyeonhwi.

“What do you plan to do with Hyun Sojeo?”

“Okay. I don’t have anything else to do either, so I’ll go with you.”

“Then I will guide you.”

Chae-ryeon smiled and raised her hand, and Sayun clapped lightly at her.

“Can I look forward to it?”

“Of course. ruler. Then shall we go?”

I did not go inside the Murim Alliance, which I briefly visited yesterday. Chae-ryeon guided us to the market of Mukakseong.

“If you come to Mungakseong, you must definitely see the armory.”

It’s an armory. Since Heavenly Moon also sells equipment that is at least one level better than other regions, most people who wanted to buy store-bought weapons came to Unawaken Castle to buy them.

Of course, after a certain amount of time, I had to find a craftsman to make it, or go to a secret area and find a cavalryman.

“Oh… I like this sword. How do you feel?”

What Chae-ryeon chose was a single sword. It is a well-balanced and ornate sword that can be used by female swordsmen. Sayoon, who was looking at it here and there, smiled.

“I’m fine. There is no sword as good and precious to me as this sword.”

“Wow. I’m jealous. Who gave it to you?”

“Ehehe… I received it from someone who is really precious to me.”

Chae-ryeon, who was looking at Sayun embracing the sword and looking happy, turned her eyes towards me and Hyeon-hwi. I just shrugged my shoulders and Hyeonhwi just shook his head lightly.

“I see. Then it’s black, how about this?”

What Chae-ryun chose was a dagger. The dagger, which can be used both for throwing and for traveling, seemed to be of quite good quality.

“I’ll buy you one for you as a souvenir.”

“Oh. You don’t have to.”

“I hope you don’t decline.”

Grinning, she calculated the dagger. Chae-ryeon, who placed one of the pair of daggers on Sayun’s hand and one on her own, smiled.

“Now. Then shall we go somewhere else?”

Smiling brightly, Chaeryeon continued to guide.

While walking down the market street, Sayun stopped.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Uh… that.”

What she was looking at was a decoration of red thread that seemed to be made of jade. Sayun, who was watching this intently, looked slightly in my direction.

“That. Don’t you think it would suit you well?”

“Hmm. Looks okay?”

After Chaeryeon answered, Sayun walked towards him.

“Hey.”

“Oh. Welcome.”

As the middle-aged woman who appeared to be the owner greeted the reporter with a smile, Sayun pointed to the decorations.

“Ah. You mean the scarlet decoration. Hehehe. You have eyes to see.”

She took out a decoration hanging on the wall and showed it to Sayoon. I went over there and took a quick look, and the patterns carved into the jade and the red thread looked quite gorgeous, as if they had been made by a skilled craftsman.

“Are you wearing this on your waist strap?”

“Yes. I’m betting on that one. This jade is called Cheonsan Jade, and it is said that if you have it, good luck will follow you. And this thread is also called Wangjinsa and prays for good health…”

You speak really well. I think I liked it as soon as I saw it, but after hearing the owner’s explanation, Sayoon asked the price as if she had decided to buy it.

“How much is it?”

“Give me twenty pieces of Eunja.”

Even though it was quite a high price considering the amount of money that Sayun had, she took out the bag from her pocket without hesitation. Then he placed twenty silver pieces in her hand, and the owner smiled and said,

“Would you like me to wrap it for you?”

“No.”

After receiving the scarlet decoration, she approached me. Then he looks up at me and holds out the decoration with both hands.

“Over there. Guest owner. Would you like to accept it?”

“Isn’t it too expensive?”

“It’s okay! I always just accepted it from the guest!”

Even if she received an allowance from Hongryeon and obtained a hermit by fighting with the seekers, she probably doesn’t have that much money, but she gave her a gift worth as much as 20 nyang of hermit.

I thought about rejecting it, but Sayoon’s eyes were shining, hoping that I would accept it.

I can’t refuse this.

That’s why I smiled at her and received the scarlet decoration.

“Thank you. I will cherish it.”

“Hehe… Yes!”

Sayoon seemed quite happy when I accepted it obediently. After seeing the decorations hung on the belt, she seemed to feel more at ease and walked with a smile.

“Chaeryeon Sojeo. Go somewhere else!”

“Yes.”

There were quite a few places to see in Mungakseong. Even places that we just passed by in the bright moon of heaven.

While looking around the street with lots of things to see, Chae-ryeon stopped. Sayoon tilted her head as she too began to stare at a place that seemed to be interested in something.

“What’s wrong?”

“Huh? Oh, no.”

Chae-ryeon, surprised, quickly turned her head.

“Now. Let’s go.”

As she went ahead, I looked at the place where Chae-ryun was looking earlier.

“Fear of friendship.”

“What is that?”

“This is a game shared between friends.”

This is a card you can receive when you register as a friend at Heavenly Moon. It doesn’t have any special effects, just cutting a jade tablet in half and engraving each other’s names on it.

Sayoon stared at that place for a moment and then spoke to me.

“Guest guest. Wait a minute…”

Then he quickly ran towards it. She was chatting with the owner about something and returned with a small envelope, and I smiled and asked,

“To give it to Sojeo Chae?”

“…Ehehe…”

I guess I was embarrassed.

Instead of answering, Sayoon blushed and scratched her head.

Friends. Good friend.

I smiled at her.

“But didn’t you spend a lot of money? In my gift, in my friendship plaque… shouldn’t I use it in Cheongho too?”

“Uh. It’s okay!”

well. According to my calculations, it didn’t look good at all, but Sayoon was confident.

Well, if you feel like you don’t have enough money, let’s secretly add money through Hongryeon or Hyeonhwi.

After touring the streets, we returned to the guest house. It looks like Hongryeon and Chaejin haven’t arrived yet.

“Let’s have a quick meal.”

Was it just after lunch time? There weren’t many people in the guesthouse. I said with a smile as I sat in the corner of a quiet guest room.

“I buy lunch. If there is something you want, just ask for it.”

“I’ll buy it!”

Sayoon shouted, but I shook my head.

“I received this, but I can’t just eat it. Buy it next time. ruler. Order what you want to eat.”

“Uh… then somen.”

“That’s fine for me too.”

“I will also eat somen.”

“Here, please give me four bowls of somen, and some dumplings and boneless meat.”

I think Sayun only ordered some noodles because she was thinking of me, but she has to eat it properly anyway.

I ordered an additional dumpling and meat dish and smiled at Sayoon, who was embarrassed.

“Let’s eat something more delicious for dinner.”

“Ugh… I was originally going to buy everything this time…”

“Please ask me later.”

“…Yes.”

Hehehe, Sayoon laughed in embarrassment. I thought as I looked at Sayoon, who smiled at her.

Right now, Sayun’s mind is busy calculating the cost of the remaining eunja and gifts.

Then, it would be better to subtly help here in this way.

“By the way, are you planning to take the Murim Alliance level test? How about giving it a try?”

“Um…”

Chaeryeon smiled and added to what I said.

“It’s not that you’re not confident in your skills, but since you get a lot of things in one way or another, it might be better to give it a try, right?”

It’s just as she said. If you take the Murim Alliance’s level test, you will receive appropriate rewards according to each level.

“Ah. I know that. Didn’t you say that if you are of the upper class, you will be given a sword worth 50 nyang?”

“Fifty nyang?!”

” Even if you were to be graded, it was only 30 nyang… Was the soldier grade 10 nyang?”

Sayoon was surprised when Hyeonhwi spoke after me.

Chae-ryeon nodded at her with her characteristic fox-like smile.

“It is also said that people who have good swords receive money in exchange for the sword. I didn’t need it either so I just got it in money.”

Sayoon bowed her head. I could barely hold back the laughter that threatened to burst out when I saw him muttering something like 50 nyang for a hermit.

but. Due to Sa-yoon’s personality, he will try to buy Yo-hwan’s things and other people’s things as a gift for Hong Seong-moon, and he will also try to buy things for his ‘uncle’, so it would be good to have plenty of money.

“…When can I try that?”

“You can do it anytime. Then, shall we go after lunch and give it a try?”

Sayun nodded loudly at Hyeonhwi’s words.

As she, relieved, smiled and started to eat the noodles, I glanced at Hyeonhwi. She shook her head slightly while eating somen with her characteristic expressionless face.

I took my eyes off her and saw Chae-ryeon sitting next to Sayun.

Unlike Hyeonhwi, when she made eye contact with me, she blinked one eye and smiled.

As expected, they both said this because they noticed that Sayun’s pocketbook was in bad shape, right?

I smiled at her, and Chaeryeon smiled back and put her finger to her mouth.

I nodded when she asked me to be quiet.
