***

Night was a time of rest, but it was also a time of danger. Therefore, people who live with the grace of the sun stay in a safe place and hope that the night will pass.

And, as if to prove it, the night tests those who wander around without sleeping in their own time.

-Krrr…!!

By taking risks.

When we left the secret area, what greeted us was none other than a huge dog with blue fur.

It was a group of dogs.

About a dozen stray dogs were approaching this way, sniffing their long, large noses as if they had smelled human flesh.

“…Please step back.”

The woman who confessed to me with a sweet voice in the secret area just now was not the woman who was afraid of my words in front of me.

What is in front of me now is a warrior holding a sword.

A warrior in black uniform bathed in pure white moonlight was taking a step forward to greet the enemy.

She came out, shaking her long jet-black hair that gave off a strange magical power like the night, and grinned at the dogs that were drooling in her direction with her blue eyes open.

“Come on.”

-Kaaaa!!

The first thing that ran towards me was a huge guy who seemed to be the leader of a pack of dogs.

It was the moment when the dog, which had been running with strange momentum and flashing its sharp teeth as if demonstrating to other dogs, roared and jumped up.

-Suddenly!!

“Oh…”

It was a blow.

Of course, I knew that a dog like that was no match for a master of Chaejin’s level.

Still, what surprised me was her movement.

Apparently, the dog’s teeth almost touched her body. And Chaejin’s Tao was in the Taoist house.

Nevertheless, the dog’s body was torn apart by the blow.

One of the secret techniques of Moonlight Taoism that utilizes the trick of starting first.

It was a black moon attack.

In Heaven’s Bright Moon, it was a fairly powerful counter to the Moonlight Taoism, and Chaeryeondo was a herbivory that was only learned in the latter half of Part 3.

And, as far as I know, Chaejin hasn’t realized that yet…

“Haha!”

She burst into laughter and laughed harshly at the dog that was turning into gray ash.

Her laughter burst out as if provoking her, and the dogs, who had been taken aback by the fact that their leader had collapsed, rushed at her all at once as if they were enraged by the provocation.

-Suddenly!! Suddenly!!

Her Tao was splitting the Tao dogs with one precise blow.

Once per animal.

Each time the moonlight flashed, the gray ash was increasing.

And, when all the dogs here disappeared, she was slowly pushing the dogs into the dog house without any hesitation.

“Awesome. Have you gained any insight this time?”

“…Hehe. No.”

The expression that had been full of speculation just a moment ago changed.

Chaejin, who approached me with a smile on her face like a puppy begging for praise, spoke proudly.

“…I’ve been researching it ever since I escaped from Simma last time. And… I just showed it today.”

Just as Hongryeon completed Yoo Seong-rak, I guess she too has grown in her own way.

I applauded her. Anyway, growing up is something worth celebrating.

“E, A. This is nothing.”

If you’ve already learned the Black Moon Cham, it’s great.

I don’t know how much I need to be satisfied with.

But what can I say, there are times when you are satisfied.

“Hmm? What is that?”

It was then. In the place where the dogs disappeared, something was rolling around on the floor.

Seeing this, Chae-jin approached with great strides, but then took a step back in surprise.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Uh. hmm. That’s it…”

The strong warrior who had been laughing provocatively instead of showing fear even before facing dozens of dogs was not present.

The only thing here is a shy woman with a bright red face and her body writhing helplessly.

I saw something on the floor.

“Oh.”

It was a black leash.

To be precise, it is evidence that the demonic energy of the Taoist dog has come together and made it an even more powerful Taoist dog.

In Heavenly Moon, it was simply treated as one of the pieces of equipment that could be worn around the neck.

The effect of possession is that it moves a little faster and that when encountering a dog, the dog avoids a fight and runs away.

However, in Heavenly Moon, Tao Dogs were not that strong, so they were not treated as particularly high-end equipment.

Of course, the evaluation here will be different. In any case, it can prevent damage from stray dogs, so it will be helpful in villages other than Seomhwachon.

“Hmm…”

I picked up the leash. After fiddling around with the shiny black leash, I turned my eyes to Chaejin.

“Hipp.”

With a hiccup, she avoided my eyes. I understand why.

When he confessed to me in his image, he asked me to put a leash on him.

And he put that chain in my hand.

“That. Chae Sojeo, this…”

“Hi! Hi! Hehehe!!”

Chaejin is in confusion!

The effect was amazing!

Rather than mentioning what happened back then, just by holding her leash and calling her, her clear eyes started wandering here and there with no place to go, and her body was twisted in confusion, not knowing what to do.

What kind of dangerous mental attack is this?

…I will have to refrain from mentioning that incident from now on.

“…Can I have it?”

Nod. Chaejin shook her head slightly, her face red up to her ears.

“Let’s go.”

“Yeshehe…”

She responded with difficulty and was unable to say anything until she finally left.

By the time we arrived at the guest house, it was just before the morning business started.

I smiled and said to Chaejin, who seemed to have calmed down a bit.

“Don’t be too nervous, just do what you normally do.”

“…Well, that should be it. I’m not as strong-hearted as the guest owner… But the guest owner is over there.”

She hesitated, looking at me, then slightly pouted her lips.

“…You don’t seem the least bit shaken.”

“I was very agitated.”

If I had found out for the first time now, I would have been quite embarrassed.

But back then, when I came back from the mental image, I felt agitated all night, so I just look fine now.

“And if I get agitated, won’t it be even more difficult?”

Well then, it might be funny.

But that’s only from other people’s eyes, and from our perspective, it only makes it harder to deal with each other.

If it doesn’t help much physically, shouldn’t it at least help in this way?

“…Yes, but.”

Chaejin slightly puffed out her cheeks. I lightly patted her shoulder.

“You must be tired. Go in and get some rest. I will prepare for business in the morning.”

“The guest must be tired too.”

“But I am the owner of this guesthouse. You can’t skip business, right? Let’s have breakfast together and sleep first.”

Chaejin thought for a moment and nodded.

“It would be better to take a shower first. Because both me and the vegetable cutter are covered in dust.”

“U. yes. See you later then.”

After saying hello, Chaejin went up, and I also headed to the office.

As I was taking off my clothes to wash, I grabbed what was in my pocket.

As I was passing through the secret area earlier, I picked up one of the ingredients that can be obtained from Baek’s Road.

It was a pure white stone about the size of an egg.

The white ore that seemed to symbolize the yang in Taegeuk was called yangseok (陽石), and it was one of the objects that restored physical strength and accelerated the recovery of internal injuries just by holding it.

Additional effects could be obtained by processing it to make accessories such as necklaces, rings, and earrings.

There is a monk in Amipa who will bring you these materials and make them into decorations that help stabilize your mind and body, so while Sayun was there this time, I hoped that he could process them and use them as good accessories.

After putting the bean stone, which gave off a gentle warmth, in the safe, I headed straight to the bathroom.

ruler. Let’s wash. Let’s wash up and go to work.

After the morning business, I went out to the backyard to take a short rest. As I was burning the tobacco, I heard a voice from above.

“Are you not tired?”

“It’s okay.”

It was Chaejin who stuck out her head. She hopped down to the backyard and held out her hand to me.

“Can you practice?”

“Of course.”

If you skip training, you’ll be in trouble.

Because these things accumulate and become helpful later.

And Chaejin really likes teaching me.

I put down the pipe and took a stance.

“Huh? Are you practicing?”

At that time, a lively voice was heard from the backyard. It was Chaeryeon.

She walked bouncily, sat down on the long chair where I was sitting, and looked at Chaejin.

“…Why?”

“It’s nothing.”

I guess he didn’t like the grinning smile. Chaejin frowned slightly and then spoke to me.

“Then let’s begin.”

The training itself was not much different from usual. As always, I’m rolling and learning new techniques for the Geumna method.

When the training was over, Chaejin cleared his throat and spoke softly.

“That’s it for today.”

and.

I can’t believe I have time to drink a cup of tea faster than usual.

“…I will practice more later.”

“Haha. I understand.”

While I was nodding, Chaejin quickly looked away. The place where her eyes were directed was Chae-ryeon.

Chaejin asked his younger brother, who was smiling brightly, in a tone full of fear.

“…Do you have something to say?”

“I don’t have one?”

Turning her head, Chae-ryeon answered leisurely. Chae-jin, who had been kissing her, sighed deeply.

“Well, since we finished a little early… would you like some tea?”

“Good!”

It was Chaeryeon who answered my question.

“Ah. After just five days, I won’t even be able to drink the tea that the guest serves. It’s a pity.”

After oil?

So does that mean Sayun is leaving after 5 days?

I need to deliver this quickly.

“Huh? sister. You didn’t see that?”

It was then. Chae-ryeon tilted her head when she saw the piece of yin hanging on Chae-jin’s pottery handle.

By the way, when did you put that up again?

Chaejin looked at the piece of black magatama and yin connected by white threads with a faint gaze, then gently hugged it and smiled brightly.

“Yes. It’s precious.”
