****

The joy of finding a wedding date was short-lived. The three superhumans realized that they were faced with a serious problem.

gift.

I had to get a token of promise to give to the other person.

Of course, the proof of promise did not necessarily have to be good.

However, since they were giving it to Yuwol, the three of them had no intention of getting something as trivial as it was.

It was even more so when I thought about what he was going to save me from.

Yuwol’s knowledge is considerable. He just lacks military power, but he knows exactly how to get through whatever it is, whether it’s a secret or something, so if he wants to save it, there’s nothing he can’t save.

Didn’t Yuwol say that earlier?

He said he would hire Doje and Namgung-cheon to get the gift.

Doge and Namgungcheon possess the knowledge of Yuwol and the power to carry it out.

The gift they were seeking might have been something precious and difficult to obtain.

“Uh, what should I do?”

Yuwol said it was okay to give her something simple, but how could she do that?

Wanting to give the best they could get, the three decided to put their usual checks on hold and put their heads together to think.

“What’s so serious?”

As they were having a serious discussion in the corner of the guest room, the people who approached them were none other than Yohwan and Hano, who had come for the succession ceremony and said they would stay for a few days.

Unlike the martial arts people around them who were wondering how to talk to those three people and hear a word about martial arts, they brought chairs and sat down.

“Yohwan. What would be a good gift to give to a man?”

When Geomseong asked the question on his behalf, Yohwan chuckled. We had been talking about something seriously since a while ago, and that was it.

But looking at their serious expressions, I don’t think they can pass it off as a joke.

“Hmm… It’s a gift. It would be difficult to use weapons or something like that. In general, jewelry is considered the best gift.”

“But since June is closer to a bachelor’s degree, I think it would be better to have a brush or inkstone rather than accessories.”

“Well, that’s true too. Anyway, seeing you say that, it seems like you have something in mind.”

“Hmm. Actually, there’s something I’ve been wanting to get for you for a while. I’d like to get a copy of Gwigokpil (貴穀筆).”

Geomseong said calmly.

It’s a must.

It is a brush with the meaning of precious grain, and refers to the brush used by Yeong Ho-yeon, a former bachelor of the imperial palace and famous as a benevolent official.

He was famous for being good since he was young, and one day he met a hermit, who gave him a brush as a gift, saying that if he continues to have a good heart, his work will be successful.

He always carried that brush with him and accumulated good karma, and as the immortal said, everything he did thereafter turned out well.

And in his later years, he threw away his brush in the river, and it is said that no one has seen the brush since.

“Does that really exist?”

“How do I find a brush that has fallen into the river?”

Hongryeon and Chaejin looked at Geomseong with concern, and Geomseong smiled confidently.

“Ah. There’s more to the story behind it. They say that when Yeong Ho-yeon died, an old man came looking for him. And after hearing the story about Gwigokpil, we headed to the river.”

“Headed?”

“They say that in that river, a crane and an old man riding on the crane were seen ascending into the sky. And there is a story that the crane had a stick in its mouth, and Nodoin said this.”

Hano cleared his throat several times and lowered his voice as he received Geomseong’s words.

“Those who want to become good managers must find a way to become a good manager.”

What this means is that the old man left Gui-gok-pil somewhere, and the officials who respected and followed him made efforts to find Gui-gok-pil.

Of course I couldn’t find it.

“It is quite a famous story among officials, especially civil servants. I don’t know about drones, but.”

When Yohwan added, the three fell silent. It’s a must-have.

June was always busy with work. Therefore, if he has a keen ear, he will be able to complete his work more quickly and properly.

Wouldn’t that be better for family life?

The three looked at each other.

“Then Hongryeon. Do you?”

“That’s fine, but I think it would be better to make some decent clothes.”

“Oh. Of worth.”

“What is that?”

When Chaejin tilted his head, Hano grinned.

Unless you are a person who is very interested in costumes, you would not know this, so there was no problem with Chaejin doing that.

“Clothes of a lazy person. It was a long time ago. There was a person named ‘Kiwoo’. That person was a manager who always worried about everything and worked tirelessly. Of course, it is said that he worked well and the more he suffered, the better the people’s lives became. But how can a person make a living just by working? That’s why I made a set of clothes at a clothing store called Cheolseungga and gave it to her as a gift. Ki-woo said he was able to rest well while wearing those clothes.”

“Forever?”

“…What kind of bloody words are you talking about? It increases the efficiency of rest, so that when you rest, you will rest naturally, like a lazy person resting. ”

“The problem is that the Cheolseong family was wiped out by demons a long time ago and their descendants were scattered. And they say they don’t know where the costume design, a treasure of the Cheolseong family, was passed down… Do you know?”

I am confident when it comes to making clothes. When Hongryeon asked seriously, Hano nodded.

“I don’t know about the Cheolseong pattern, which is the treasure of the Cheolseong family, but if you go to Uihwan Village, located just a day south of Yangwiseong, you will find a woman named Hyewon, a descendant of the Cheolseong family. You might be able to get a worthy design from her.”

“Good! I’ll take that.”

If you receive the blueprint and learn how to make it, there will be no problem. Chae-jin, who was looking seriously at Hong-ryeon, who had said that she would go with Ryu-hyeon, asked with a shocked expression.

“Then what should I do?”

“What do you want to give me?”

Geomseong seemed to want to give him a good earing, and Hongryeon seemed to want to make him worthy.

Work and rest.

Since you took care of them, what you want to take care of is…

“After all, it’s physical strength, right? But there are so many tonics, so I don’t know which one is good…”

“Then go to Amifa. If you go there, they will make a really good tonic for men. But isn’t it a bit wrong to give health care as a gift?”

“Hehe. He took the tonic I gave him… and with that stamina… woohoo. Hehehe. Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhu…”

Yohwan and Hano broke into a cold sweat at the sight of Chaejin smiling darkly. Doesn’t this boost your stamina with this tonic?

The two looked at Geomseong and Hongryeon as if trying to stop them, and they both thought, ‘Should I just use the tonic…?’ Seeing the two muttering, I broke into even more cold sweat.

“Ah, anyway… I have the information to save those three, so I’ll give it to you.”

“Oh? Really?”

“Thank you.”

“Keuhum. Thank you.”

“No, what. Please do me a favor later. Although I have to ask the political faction from the point of view of the four factions, I also have personal requests as well.”

“Haha. all right. If it’s Hano’s request, I have to grant it. He’s also Yuwol’s friend.”

Everyone knew that Hano had a long relationship with Yuwol. There were actually times when I received help from him.

As such, there is probably no one closer to Sapa than Hano.

“But when everyone goes, who will keep June?”

“Um… Let’s go in order.”

***

In the evening, today’s escort, Hongryeon, came. Hong Seong-moon Even though he has become a master, it seems he doesn’t want to hand over my escort job to someone else.

I smiled at her as she confidently said that it was not impossible for scholars from other clans to come forward, and as I sat her down, I asked her,

“You don’t wear long coats?”

“Hehe. Do you want me to wear that?”

I chuckled as she spoke while striking a flowing, seductive pose. She blinked one eye at me and smiled seductively, then sat down and sipped her tea.

“There’s still quite a bit left, but I’m already excited.”

“Haha. exactly? Anyway, I’m worried even after I got married. You and Chaejin each have their own tasks…”

“I have to commute to work. What.”

“Is that okay?”

“Well… it’s not like I’m going far away.”

At Hongryeon’s level, it would take at most five minutes from Hongseongmun to this guesthouse. In that case, it would be no different from living next to it.

Even if something goes wrong, there won’t be a problem because the Sword Saint, who is almost unemployed, will be by your side.

“It must be a lot of trouble.”

“It can’t be helped. Because I am greedy. And that’s better for you too, right?”

“That’s definitely true. Because you can become a pillar of Hongseongmun.”

“Hehehe… Ah. And we are also going to look for gifts.”

“Is that so? What are you looking for?”

“Um… Is it okay if I tell you…?”

“Tell me.”

“Gwigokpil, Manui, and Ami tonic, the tonic of Amipa.”

“…Gwigokpil and Mangui, but why Army tonics?”

“Huhuhuhuhu… Please cheer up?”

ah.

“…I will try my best.”

I nodded towards Hongryeon, who smiled strangely and licked her lips.

“By the way, just like Gwigokpil, you will have to make Manui… It won’t be easy to get the materials. Isn’t it too much trouble? And in order to get the Ami Tonic, the materials you need to give to Amipa are not that easy… so I guess I’ll have to help too.”

“Um…”

“Don’t think about refusing. If you get hurt while trying to save it, it would be nothing more than a complete reversal.”

“But you asked Doje and Namgungcheon for our gifts, right? So, is it right to get help…”

“Haha. How can you feel sorry for people who are supposed to be your family? Also, there is no problem as we have given reasonable compensation to Doje and Namgung-cheon.”

“But do you know how to get them?”

“Gwigokpil is something I’ve wanted for a long time. And the same goes for Man-ui. Even though there are plenty of tonics, they are not enough. All three of you did a good job of choosing good things that I would want.”

“Because I was always watching.”

Hongryeon looked at me without blinking and spoke kindly.

“Always.”
