As you know, I’m scared,

So the current situation is inevitable.

“Master! Where the hell are you!”

I am hiding on a tree, covered with leaves, out of sight of the unknown.

‘I don’t want to go!’

Now I know that it’s really ugly to do this, but

When I was about to leave, my steps wouldn’t move.

That makes sense.

‘I’ve lived here for 300 years, how can I go outside…?’

It’s been too long since I’ve been stuck in the corner of the mountain.

After everything happened.

I felt dizzy at the thought of meeting someone other than Anonymous.

Moreover, the conversation went smoothly because the unknown person at the time was just a child.

If I were to talk to other people outside the mountain, it would definitely drain my mental energy a lot.

But, since my teacher’s honor was on the line, I couldn’t not go.

Running away now only extends the grace period.

‘At least prepare your mind… .’

I tried to console myself and pull myself together.

Glance- let’s peek our heads out of the leaves,

I saw a nameless person waving a strawberry from afar and looking for me.

‘That kid?’

Did you think I would jump out of my seat if I saw a strawberry?

For some reason, I frowned because it was annoying.

“Please, Master! When will you leave!”

Anonymous has been looking around the same place for a long time,

Finally, he decided that I was no longer here and moved.

“Sigh… .”

It really took me ten years.

Of course, even if you run away like this,

I know I’m going to get caught in no time.

Still, I wanted to leave the mountain a little later.

After confirming that the nameless person had completely disappeared from sight, I jumped down from the tree.

‘No one there?’

As I turned my head here and there to check and expand my senses, I felt a sudden presence and goosebumps appeared all over my body.

“… Why is there an unknown presence behind me-”

Feeling uneasy, he stiffly turned his head back.

“Master.”

“Ouch!”

My heart almost burst out when I saw the nameless person right in front of me.

‘What the heck is this guy?’

Calming my startled heart, I looked at Moo-myeong with a bewildered expression.

Even though the nameless person disappeared from sight and did not hide his presence,

It couldn’t just pop out like it was waiting for like this.

‘Surely the level of anonymity wasn’t at this level?’

I should check this out for future reference.

“Teacher, stop running away-”

“… How did you do it?”

“Yes?”

“You found me, how did you do it?”

He asked in a low voice with a firm expression that made one wonder if he had ever spoken so harshly to an anonymous person before.

That’s how important this issue is,

There is no reason why someone else cannot do what an anonymous person did.

But, despite my firm attitude, Anonymous scratched his cheek awkwardly.

“If you ask me how I did it, I don’t have much to say.”

“What?”

My eyes narrowed.

‘What does that mean?’

For some reason, the anonymous blushed in embarrassment.

“I can smell the Master on this tree… ”

“… What? Smell?”

It smells, I washed up today?

I quickly raised my arm and sniffed my body, but still there was no smell.

‘… How much is the dog coin?’

Seriously, I should ask next time if there is a dog among the anonymous ancestors.

I saw another chance to escape,

In the end, he was caught by the nameless man, holding him by the nape of his neck.

“Anonymous? I’m your teacher, but don’t you think I’m being treated strangely?”

“I don’t know.”

It felt really strange.

‘Tseup, is this the normal relationship between priests and priestesses here?’

Come to think of it, Myeong-un liked to tease me since I was little.

I felt like my 300-year-old old fart was going to kick in, but I barely held it in.

After that, I felt like I would never be able to go out if I kept running away, so I stopped by the cabin and picked up the bag I had packed yesterday.

“Master? It wasn’t that big until yesterday… .”

“It’s because of my mood, it’s because of my mood.”

I straightened my back, carrying a bag bigger than mine on my back, and looked up at Mu-myeong.

“Have you packed everything you need?”

“Yes, I packed my luggage and my teacher, so I didn’t miss anything.”

“What did you say-”

“The sun will start setting soon, let’s go quickly.”

I looked up at the sky at the nameless horse, but it was just beginning to rise.

‘This guy again?’

I was about to say something right away, but Myeong started pushing my back.

“Wait- Don’t push!”

“Yes”

“Ugh”

At that moment, the nameless beauty’s strength disappeared, and I almost fell backwards.

“What are you doing that’s so dangerous!”

“Anyway, Master wouldn’t fall to this extent, right?”

But isn’t this a question of attitude?

Although I was very uncomfortable with the anonymous attitude,

I’m speechless when I see that guy’s sly expression.

I shook my head quietly and turned around to look at the cabin for a moment.

I saw an old shack on the verge of collapse.

“Hmm, it’s a place I’ve grown attached to, so it’s a shame to leave”

“You’ll be back anyway, right?”

“That’s true.”

It is indeed an anonymous word.

‘Yeah. I’ll be back.’

After a long journey, it’s always nice to have a place to return to.

“Let’s go.”

He smiled brightly.

While walking for a while, a question suddenly occurred to me.

‘Come to think of it.’

There is something I haven’t asked Anonymous.

“Anonymous.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Where are we going?”

Originally, it would have been right for me, the teacher, to take the lead, but

‘I don’t know the way’

I can’t help it, I’ve never been out of the mountains.

So, even though I’m just blindly following the unknown, I don’t know the destination that awaits me at the end.

It’s natural to be curious.

When I asked that question with a somewhat embarrassed look on my face, Moo-myeong answered with a stupid expression.

“Yes? I am following the Master.”

What,

“What are you talking about? Don’t you know that I haven’t left the mountain?”

“I have never been anywhere except the nearby village and my hometown.”

Oh, no!

There were only people here who had never seen the world.

I felt dizzy for a moment, so I put my hand on my forehead.

“How can you, a disciple, not prepare even one thing like that?!”

“Isn’t that the kind of teacher you should have come to see at least once?”

How dare you try to win through cowardly instigation and fabrication!

This guy needs to be told the facts.

He frowned and glared at the anonymous person with the most angry expression he could muster.

“Gal (喝)! Your heavenly teacher teaches you and when he has spare time, where would he have time to practice?”

As if he had nothing to say, Anumyeong turned his head away from me and started staring straight ahead.

“And when I accepted you as my disciple, didn’t I tell you that I would do all the miscellaneous work?”

I poked the nameless man’s waist with my outstretched finger.

“Try answering!”

Cook- cook-

The nameless man raised his head and kept washing his face dry.

“Haa… Master, then why don’t we go to the village I always hear about?”

“The town you heard about? Are you talking about the place where you always bought strawberries?”

“… Yes.”

It was a town that I knew from hearing about it from an anonymous person, and I was curious about the town that Anonymous had heard about.

“Hmm, I guess it’s okay.”

But I was still angry and kept twitching for no reason.

“Yes, then I think you can go to the village and buy a map there.”

“That’s definitely okay.”

Since it is a trip that you take while looking at a map, it is truly full of romance.

I pictured myself in my head.

‘A ronin swordsman who travels the world with only a wooden sword.’

The corners of my mouth began to twitch.

“But how long does it take to get to the village?”

“It will take about a week.”

“What.”

I thought it would take at most 3 days, but it was much longer than I expected.

Could it be that Myeong-i had been going to a distant village to get strawberries all this time?

“Weren’t you definitely going to the nearest town?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

There is no reason to deceive with something like this in the first place.

Even looking at the anonymous expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying.

If so, then it must be true.

“Hmm, so does that mean I can’t swing my sword for a week?”

“It’ll be late, but it’s okay to take a break here and there.”

It’s just that I’m not used to swinging a sword.

Actually, I don’t think I can raise my level by swinging a sword right now.

‘wall….’

I think it would be okay if we just went a little further,

It was heartbreaking to even imagine not being able to make that little bit of progress for years.

If there is even a little wind, I hope that this trip will be an opportunity to overcome the blocked wall.

How did I look as I pondered my next step of growth?

I gave a small smile to the nameless person who had a worried expression on his face.

“What, you don’t have to go that far, but I think you’ll need some luck breakfast.”

“Ah, are you talking about the mana breathing technique?”

I looked at the nameless one.

“Breakfast.”

“Oh, yeah.”
