episode_0025

My daily routine is fairly regular.

I wake up before the sun rises in the morning, do my obeisance, and do my morning business.

After the business is over, I receive in-depth training from Chae-jin, and continue to work for the remaining time.

After lunch, I clean the room and work, but then I am taken to my room by Chae-jin, who comes to my room as if Mr. Kumon is pressuring me, and I receive forced tai chi training from Chae.

And by the time it’s over, it’s evening and I do my homework and then do the rest.

Isn’t it really regular?

There has been a little change in my regular life.

“Thank you every time.”

“What.”

After the demonic attack not long ago, it was decided to patrol from Hongseongmun to Seomhwachon.

Of course, it was said that it did not interfere with Hong Seong-moon’s training, but it was by no means a bad thing for Seomhwachon.

In any case, the mere presence of martial people, especially martial people who are friendly to the village, patrolling is a great help in maintaining public order.

Of course, the government was happy and even provided subsidies.

I used the subsidy and even my own money to purchase medicine. I would like to purchase an elixir if possible, but elixirs are not easy to obtain.

That’s why I constantly saved Geumchang medicine and other magical medicines for internal injuries, and when I had enough, I gave them to Hong Seong-moon’s disciples.

That’s already the third time.

I shook my head at the cute gray-haired girl who accepted the box of medicine.

Sayoon.

The purpose for which I came to this world.

She was still awkward about receiving it from someone, so she was holding the box in her hand tightly.

“Ah. So, so. I heard you received help from Hyeonwi’s sister yesterday?”

“Yes.”

“Was there any difficult part?”

Hong Seong-moon’s disciples recommended the backyard of my guesthouse as a gathering place when they returned from patrol.

The reason was simple.

When I come back from patrol, I’m going to feed him some sweets.

Of course, there was a reason to give it to Sayun, but all of Hong Seong-moon’s other disciples like Sayun.

Then we are one!!

As such, it wasn’t a waste at all to have one or two pieces of sugar.

Hong Seong-moon’s disciples, whether aware of my feelings or not, never accepted anything for free.

So they decided to look after my Oh Geum-hee, and it was only natural that it was added to my regular routine.

It’s good for me.

“Hwa’s brother was a bit difficult.”

It wasn’t difficult to learn Taijiquan from Chaejin after receiving intensive training from him.

But Oh Geum-hee had a slightly different story. The only thing I knew was the stories we shared at the gallery, and it was literally like self-taught.

So, there were quite a few hands that Hong Seong-moon’s disciples had to put on my Oh Geum-hee, and thankfully Sayun was one of those hands.

“Would you like to try it out?”

Sayoon stands right next to me. While her deep violet-like eyes were fixed on me, I stretched out my hand.

Oh Geum-hee is a martial art created based on Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. As such, each type follows the attributes of the five elements, but the fire type was bound to be an attribute that was currently difficult for me to master.

“Hmm… I understand why.”

When the outstretched hand went down to the floor, rotating the body accordingly and punching the air, Sayun nodded seriously.

“Why?”

“It’s because I lack internal skills. Originally, in Oh Geum-hee’s Hwa’s Brother.”

When I stepped back, Sayun took the same posture I had taken earlier. The right hand goes up and supports the sky, and the left hand goes down and presses down on the ground.

“The beginning is the unity of heaven and earth.”

As she softly exhales, her hands move. The right hand that dominated the sky comes down.

It symbolizes that the sun gives fire to the earth, and at the same time, flames were in her right hand.

Although it is subtle, it contains the energy of fire, which is an attribute of one of the five elements.

However, the fire was not hot; it was a peaceful fire to care for those on the earth.

“Phew. Like this.”

Sayoon, who had finished executing Hwa’s sentence once, smiled, and I applauded and handed out the confectionery I had prepared.

She looked at me and me with a red face, then bowed her head and accepted it politely.

I feel proud to see them so happy even though the snacks only cost a few pennies.

haha.

“Are you worried about anything these days?”

“I’m worried…”

Sayun, who was munching on the confectionery, closed her eyes for a moment. And after hesitating for a while, he gently opened his mouth.

“Over there. Guest owner. What do you guys like?”

….huh?

“Well, there is a man who helped me a lot…”

As she was about to speak, she was startled. And shivers.

I started to feel very sorry, like a puppy caught in the rain, and didn’t know what to do.

“Of course, I also received a lot of help from the guest!!”

He starts gibbering, swinging his arms and legs in all sorts of directions.

It was really cute, like a startled puppy, but my superhuman patience was strong enough to keep a blank expression.

After talking about something for a long time, she finally lowered her head, blushing as if she was about to exhale a puff of smoke.

I put together what Sayun said earlier and asked calmly.

“So let me summarize. There is a man who helped me a lot in one way or another. I can’t do it because I don’t know what you like?”

“Yes…”

That guy must be me.

ah. Proudness resonates in my heart.

Guys… are you watching?

Our Sayoon wants to do something…

As a representative of the 50 million Sayun Dan members, I recalled the contents of a nonsense article about what she would like her to do in a past conversation between Sayun Dan members.

Among them, ‘Sa-yoon was the woman who would become my mother!’ Or, ‘I want to ask Sayoon to be my guarantor!’ Except for things that don’t seem to be saying anything, such as why…

oh my god.

Is it all about, ‘Don’t get hurt and just grow up healthy’?!

These greedy guys…

“Okay. If there are 100 people, there are 100 different tastes. I don’t know what he likes.”

“Is that so… Then what about the guest? Is there anything I can do for you?”

“Me?”

I smiled at Sayoon.

“Don’t get hurt, just grow healthy.”

Sayoon’s eyes widened at my words and then she burst into laughter.

I couldn’t hold Sayoon for long. She left with another Hong Seong-moon disciple who came to visit, and I went back to the room to do the rest of the work.

-smart.

“Nari. The wise man has come to visit.”

uh? Hyeonryeong?

I went downstairs, and a bearded official with the appearance of a tiger, escorted by two sturdy military officers, was waiting for me with his characteristic sullen expression.

“What is going on here?”

“I have a quick word to talk with Yu’s guest.”

“No, just call me.”

“The construction work will also be ruined…”

“Would it be just the mayor? ruler. Let’s go.”

After a while, quite expensive dishes are brought inside.

“You didn’t come here for my meal. Wow.”

Hi go. Every time food and drinks were served, I felt like I was losing my appetite again. what.

The mouth says no, but the body is honest!

“It’s evening, isn’t it? You must have been busy with official duties, so please give me a chance to treat you.”

“Keuhum. Huh. I’m sorry I feel like I’m getting this from the owner.”

“Nothing to say. ruler. Then eat it.”

Still, this person. Not a bad person. Anyway, he is a person who takes great care of the convenience of Seomhwachon and does what he has to do.

Therefore, there is absolutely no harm in becoming friends with this type of person.

Anyway, as long as you don’t cross the line by bending your arms inwards, you can get help in one way or another when you become friends.

After the drink had been passed around a few times and the dishes on the plate had disappeared to some extent, he opened his mouth with a slightly red face.

“You know what happened this time. The demonic cultists came.”

“Ah. Yes.”

“At that time. There was a lot of work. Isn’t that right?”

“Right?”

“In addition, Gaekjanju Yu had personally met with a demonic cultist. From what I heard, it was said that he became very close with Hongseongmundo members.”

“It was… right?”

Why are you suddenly bringing that up?

When I looked puzzled, the wise man grinned.

“That’s why. Can I ask my guest to do one favor?”

“Please tell me. If it is not difficult, I will accept it.”

“I would like you to go inside Hongseongmun and investigate directly.”

The wise man’s tone was serious, and I wiggled my eyebrows. When the silence demanded an explanation, he shrugged and took a sip of his drink.

“Do you know that besides the demonic cultist captured by Nakilgeom, other demonic cultists entered Hongseongmun?”

“I heard about it. I heard that Geomsung personally stepped forward and killed him…”

“An order has been given to conduct a clear investigation into that matter.”

“Oh… Isn’t this kind of investigation usually done directly by the central government? Why didn’t you come directly from the center?”

“They said they would send someone after receiving the investigation report. Since it is Hong Seong-moon, it seems they are being careful in their own way.”

If you listen to Sayun’s temple and the stories of Hong Seong-moon’s disciples who came down, you will hear that Suyeon-dong was in complete disrepair.

And that training building is where Geomseong lived, and it is Hong Seong-mun’s deepest place.

In other words, outsiders cannot investigate the place without permission.

“Since ancient times, officials should not get involved with the martial arts people. And it is true that I received help from Hongseongmun, so I cannot force my way in…”

therefore. Are you willing to open your hands to me, who is quite close to Hong Seong-moon?

“Of course, I know that Hongseongmundo are good people. But even so, they are martial people. They have their own rules, so you can’t force the government’s rules, right?”

Although he seemed considerate, there was fear and wariness in his eyes.

Well, no matter how famous Hong Seong-moon’s political faction is, you can’t just set foot in their territory.

Even more so if those are the people who helped you.

“But if it’s Yu’s guest, it’s a different story, right? I am personally close with them, and I heard that they are resting in their guesthouse after patrolling these days.”

“Hmm…”

“The part related to the Demonic Cult is a sensitive part. If this is not properly resolved, no matter how Hong Seong-moon is a prestigious political faction and no matter how good they are, the empire will try to restrict many of the conveniences provided to them. If that happens, there is nothing the main office can do.”

ah. That’s troublesome.

“Of course. Please leave it to me.”

He was satisfied with what I said.

“Then that’s good. Tomorrow, I will send someone to bring me a white jade tablet.”

As the Demonic Cult was a long-time enemy of the Empire, the Empire was also making its own preparations against the Demonic Cult.

One of them is the Baekok Pae.

As one of the achievements of the Empire’s Great Ministry of Magic, it is a tool to absorb demonic energy and investigate what type of magic it is.

Through this, we find out what kind of demon cultist the target is, and if it is a high-level magic attack and the target is dead, we figure out where the demon cultist was originally located, which is currently being investigated by the empire, and then attack that area.

The higher a magician who uses high-level magic techniques, the higher their status, and the absence of a high-status magician means that they have less defense.

I nodded, remembering an event that happened quite often in the Heavenly Moon.

“But isn’t that something that can be left to Hong Seong-moon? ”

“Tsk. Actually, it’s not that I haven’t thought about it… because checking the magic energy with the white jade tile isn’t something that can be done just once or twice. And there are other things to do besides that…”

It generally takes a day for the White Jade Pavilion to absorb demonic energy. However, there were cases where it failed and had to be redone several times.

In the gallery, Cheonbung was chosen as the most unlucky person for this. I remember that the unluckiest person at the time was the one who failed 13 times in a row.

In any case, the county governor could not rule out the possibility of failure, so it seems he was reluctant to hand it over to Hong Seong-moon.

Well, it wasn’t a bad thing for me either.

Because I also wanted to go into Hongseongmun Gate.

Although Hongseongmun is Geumnam’s district, men are not completely barred from entering other Geumnam districts that appear in Heavenly Moon, so there must be a way here too.

If you can’t decide, just ask.

And anyway, I had something to ask the governor, and it went well.

“Even if it’s not just because of this… I have something to ask of the prefect.”

“Hahaha. This is not my relationship with Yu Guest. Even though we are not strangers, you should listen to me for anything. Please don’t be difficult and just say it. What do you want?”

“When you need me.”

I opened my eyes to the wise man.

“Please mobilize all the government forces that the county commander can mobilize. Of course, it’s not dangerous to the empire, so don’t worry.”

He thought about my suggestion for a while and then raised his glass.

Contract established.

I obtained a weapon to deal with the Iron Bloods.
