Chapter Index

    The surrounding scenery begins to distort, and in the meantime, Lily calmly waves her hand at me.

    Hmm, I guess I should at least say goodbye.

    They waved their hands in return.

    “See you next time.”

    Lily opened her eyes wide, smiled brightly, and waved her hand even faster, perhaps because she was surprised by my greeting.

    “Yes! See you next time!”

    It’s really like her to see her in good shape after being hit like that by me.

    A smirk formed on his face.

    I turned my head and looked at the cabin.

    ‘That must be the center.’

    Before I knew it, I was holding the wooden sword in my hand and drawing it downwards.

    Soon the world collapsed and my eyes opened.

    Hmm, are you awake?

    I slowly got up and looked out the window.

    It seems like I woke up at about the same time as usual, with the sun just starting to rise.

    Hmm, that’s unexpected.

    It definitely felt like I had a long conversation with Lily in my dream, but time didn’t pass as quickly as I thought.

    Does time flow differently in Lily’s dreams?

    I tilted my head and thought about it, but… .

    Since we’re going to meet again next time, why don’t we just ask then?

    He nodded his head alone and looked at the bed across from him where the nameless man was.

    Perhaps because the bed was uncomfortable, Myeong frowned and tossed and turned.

    “Ugh, no… .”

    On top of that, he even sleeps, which he doesn’t usually do.

    Hmm, when I asked Lily in my dream, she said she didn’t cast a spell on Anonymous. Did she lie?

    If not, is it really a dream?

    I don’t think Lily would lie to me, so the latter is more likely.

    Curious about what Myeong was dreaming about, he got up from his seat and approached Myeong.

    If by any chance you are having a dream about something masculine, I plan to tease you later when you wake up.

    ‘Come on, let’s make some black history!’

    The corners of his mouth went up crookedly.

    Nameless frowned as if he felt uncomfortable somewhere, and opened his mouth slightly with cold sweat running down his forehead.

    “I, am, sorry, about that… .”

    Something began to gather in the corner of the nameless eye.

    Hmm, now that I think about it, a teacher who teases his students doesn’t suit me.

    Should we say that it is a relationship like oil and water?

    He sat down at the nameless person’s bedside and held the nameless person’s trembling hand.

    “It’s okay.”

    He slowly ran his hand through the nameless hair and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

    “It’s okay.”

    He lowered the hand that had been wiping his forehead and wiped away the water that had gathered in his eyes.

    Hmm, is it getting better?

    The expression on the anonymous face that seemed uncomfortable is slowly loosening up.

    “Tsk, what a disciple, making his master worry.”

    He gently pinched the nameless ball that was still sleeping and got up from his seat.

    “Ugh… .”

    “It’s a punishment for worrying, a punishment.”

    After covering the nameless man with the blanket up to his neck, he went back to the bed where I was lying.

    After a while, Myeong woke up, rubbing her slightly swollen cheek.

    “Are you up?”

    “… Yes, Master, did you sleep well?”

    I couldn’t help but laugh as I saw the swollen cheeks of an anonymous child with cavities.

    Of course, I made it like that.

    Anonymous looked at his swollen cheeks in the mirror in his room and then turned to me.

    “Master, do you know why my cheeks are like this?”

    “Hmm, I don’t know.”

    He slowly avoided eye contact.

    “What, maybe you got bitten by a mosquito last night?”

    “… Do mosquito bites usually make your cheeks swell this much?”

    No, it never pours like that.

    Since Anonymous must have known that fact, he didn’t bother to answer.

    I glanced at the nameless person and he was looking at me with suspicious eyes.

    A cold sweat began to flow.

    For some reason, I felt like I would be questioned by Anonymous if I continued like this, so I quickly got up from my seat, grabbed a change of clothes and a bandage, and ran to the bathroom.

    “I’m going to wash up first, so at least wake up!”

    “… Yes?”

    Anonymous and I are currently walking through the slums.

    I grumbled, my lips pursed, for what must have been the fifth time.

    “Ha… I guess I can’t get married anymore.”

    “Yes? Isn’t the teacher married?”

    A wedding… .

    Goosebumps appeared all over my body.

    He hardened his expression and glared at the unknown person.

    “Tsk, that’s what they say.”

    “… Yes.”

    Anyway, to understand why I hate walking so much right now, I have to tell you the story that happened at the inn a little while ago.

    “Master.”

    “Why are you doing that?”

    Anonymous rested his chin on his hand with a very serious expression.

    “No matter how I look at it, this doesn’t seem right.”

    I answered, putting a strawberry in my mouth.

    “What do you mean?”

    Well well.

    Hmm, it’s delicious as expected.

    “The sun is already high in the sky… What is this?”

    What on earth does anonymity mean?

    I scratched my stomach a little and picked up another strawberry to eat.

    “Hehe.”

    A stupid smile formed.

    Looking at me like that, Moo-myeong shook his head repeatedly.

    “No… This is not true.”

    After a moment, the nameless man slowly approached with his arms raised, his eyes shining as if he had made up his mind.

    “What, what are you talking about! Go away!”

    The way he walks is quite suspicious.

    As I swung my arms, the nameless man paused for a moment, narrowed his brows, and glared at me.

    “Weren’t you supposed to go get my sword today?!”

    “Didn’t you say you asked your black lily!”

    Didn’t I tell you?

    Hmm, I don’t think I said anything.

    “But wouldn’t it be better to do something than live like a loser like this?!”

    The anonymous man approached me again, paying no attention to what I said.

    It was so ugly to see him raising both arms and wiggling his fingers like a mollusk.

    “Ouch! Go away!”

    “Isn’t there much I need to do besides finding a sword for me to use!”

    That’s true, but… .

    “Can’t you take a break for a day?!”

    Since coming out of the mountains, I’ve been involved in so many incidents that I’ve lost all my energy.

    This is a time when you need to recharge.

    I tried to tell that to the anonymous person with that kind of feeling, but he shook his head with a still stern expression.

    “No way, if I keep spending my day like this, I feel like this will happen more often in the future!”

    “Profit!”

    I didn’t skip training, and after finishing the morning meal and sword dance, I just wanted to take a short break, but you’re not even letting me do that!

    This is an anonymous rebellion.

    It is an obvious abuse of power for a disciple to try to do whatever he wants with his teacher!

    I, Cheon Ha-rang! I can never be defeated by such a vicious and ruthless traitor, Cheon Mu-myeong!

    As I was running around to avoid the nameless and impure hands, the bed was a mess and the things in the room were scattered here and there.

    Myeong-i narrowed his eyebrows even further and sighed.

    “… Since the teacher is running away, doesn’t the work just pile up?”

    Is this what it means for a farter to get angry?

    My voice got louder as I spoke in absurd terms.

    “No, why didn’t you just give up in the first place?!”

    Nameless was not at all flustered by my voice and calmly began to persuade me.

    “Master, shouldn’t we gather people to show to the Demon King as soon as possible?”

    “That, that’s it.”

    That’s true, but…!

    He stuck out his lips, at a loss for words.

    “Wasn’t it you, Master, who first brought it up?”

    … This is also true.

    Now my lips are sticking out so much that I can’t stick them out any further.

    As I was thinking of a rebuttal for a long time, before I knew it, there was a nameless person right in front of me.

    Oh, when did you come?

    “Evil!”

    Anonymous put both arms between my armpits and lifted them up.

    “Hey, let go of this!”

    He kept flailing his legs, but Mu-myeong didn’t move an inch.

    “Master, that… Liril? Anyway, didn’t you say that you and that woman were going to exchange regular updates? If there’s no progress by then, Master will be really embarrassed.”

    Is that so…?

    He tilted his head.

    Okay, but something doesn’t seem right….

    The anonymous person spoke to me straight away, as if he wasn’t even giving me time to think.

    “I don’t want my teacher to have to go through such an embarrassing situation, so I’m behaving in this way despite the rudeness… .”

    “Did that happen?”

    “Yes, that’s right.”

    Hmm, now that I think about it, it certainly could be dangerous if there’s no progress.

    He nodded.

    “Okay, then let me down for now.”

    “Oh, yeah.”

    The feeling of floating gradually faded and finally my feet touched the ground. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I turned around and tried to run away, but Myeong-ui stretched out his hand to catch me.

    At that moment, an anonymous hand touched my collar, and I was running forward. As we were inside a hotel room, I was not wearing any bandages at the moment.

    ““Ah.””

    Sighs erupted without anyone knowing who would speak first.

    “That, Master.”

    “Why are you doing that?”

    The anonymous man hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.

    “I’m really sorry about what happened at the inn-”

    While I was listening to the anonymous words, something caught my eye.

    “Oh! Anonymous, there’s a strawberry that looks like something I’ve never seen before!”

    “… Yes, I will buy it.”
