Chapter Index

    After spending about an hour with the people in the slums, I finished answering all the questions.

    Of course, there were minor incidents here and there, such as Anum saying useless things… .

    Hmm, thinking about it makes my head hurt again.

    I threw myself straight onto the bed.

    “I’m tired… .”

    “Are you tired too, Master?”

    “I’m human too.”

    I was slightly shocked by the anonymous expression on his face, which said that he honestly didn’t know that would happen.

    What on earth does this guy think of me?

    what….

    In fact, my body was not tired as Anonymous thought.

    I feel more mentally tired than physically… .

    “ha… .”

    I rolled over on the bed with a sigh.

    Normally, when I have something to say, I pass it on to someone else, so I’m not this tired, but today, I had to speak in front of so many people, so the mental pain is no joke.

    In fact, this time he had planned to pass the responsibility on to Anonymous, but Anonymous strongly refused, saying that he could not do this work himself.

    I stared at him for a while, feeling a sense of dislike for the nameless person, then he tilted his head and handed me a strawberry.

    Umm, no, I never asked for this… .

    Well, since it’s given, I have to accept it.

    It is a great sin to ignore the sincerity of a person!

    He nodded his head, making excuses for himself, and ate the strawberries that Myeong had handed him.

    “Um, thank you.”

    When I gave him a brief thank you, Myeong shook his head with a pleased expression.

    “No.”

    This guy more than that.

    Why not shift your gaze somewhere else?

    It’s time to savor the strawberries, but I can’t even tell what I’m eating because my gaze is burdened.

    He quickly chewed and swallowed what was in his mouth, then opened his mouth.

    “What is it?”

    “Oh, I have a question, I was waiting for you to finish eating.”

    Hmm, if you’re going to ask something between us, is there really a need to wait… .

    When I nodded my head as if to ask a simple question, Moo-myeong showed a very serious expression.

    What… is it important?

    Accordingly, my expression became very serious and my eyebrows furrowed.

    I was just waiting for him to open his mouth, thinking, ‘What kind of question is that!’

    “By any chance… Will they move with you when you travel in the future?”

    A somewhat dull question came back.

    “Hmm, is that why you set the mood like this to ask that?”

    “Yes, it is important to me.”

    “Huh… .”

    He squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin.

    It is certainly important.

    Since it’s just the two of us, it would be awkward to be around a lot of people.

    “Haha, he’s still a kid.”

    “…”

    As I nodded my head and raised the corners of my lips with a look of understanding, the nameless eyebrows twitched.

    Of course, I will be going alone with Anonymous.

    How can you travel the world with that many people?

    To add to the story.

    In the first place, Myeong and I came out of the mountain to see the world, but no matter how important my goal is, my promise with Myeong is also important, so I cannot neglect it.

    Anonymous must have thought of it too and told me.

    But if you ask, ‘Are we going to just gather all these people and leave them alone?’, that’s not the case.

    What the hell am I…?

    No, not even a person, I doubt that would happen.

    The ultimate goal of gathering them is to form my own independent force, but on the surface, they are humans who will become the Demon King’s forces, so I plan to leave them in their care and then go find them.

    Lily will be here soon with the Nameless Sword, so you can ask her then.

    Wouldn’t it be a blessing for them to have food on time and a warm place to live?

    It may seem a bit irresponsible, but I can’t help it.

    … What can I do about this annoying thing?

    If you throw them some of the books they used to study when they were young and tell them to come back when they have learned everything, they will understand.

    Well, if I have to be picky… .

    They were taken in as subordinates rather than as my disciples.

    To me, it is enough for a disciple to be unknown.

    I’ve already told them what to do after they grow up a bit, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

    Hmm, after all, people need to live efficiently.

    I was so proud of myself that the corners of my mouth went up.

    When I told these facts to Anonymous, he brightened up noticeably.

    “Is it something to be so happy about?”

    “Yes, how could I not be happy?”

    Even though I made excuses about being lazy, I felt strangely uncomfortable seeing her smiling brightly as she organized her clothes.

    Hmm, well.

    But isn’t it good that it’s good?

    I smiled along with him and closed my eyes.

    I’m still so tired.

    -Cheonmu-myeong

    After visiting the slums, I was washing my dirty clothes and organizing my luggage when I began to hear small, regular breathing sounds coming from the bed where my Master was.

    “Master? Are you sleeping?”

    After finishing tidying up my clothes and looking at the bed where my Master was, I realized that he was definitely not joking when he said, “You’re tired.” Even though it wasn’t yet the time when the moon had fully risen, my Master was fast asleep.

    Well, the teacher is not good at talking to people, so he must be tired after answering so many people’s questions one by one today.

    I got up from my seat, picked up the teacher who was lying down carelessly, and laid him down in an upright position.

    Suddenly, just as I was about to cover Master with a blanket, I noticed the bandage that Master usually took off when he went to sleep.

    … No matter what, this isn’t right.

    For some reason, I shook my head to cool down my feverish head and covered the blanket up to just below the Master’s neck.

    “Teacher, have a good dream.”

    I turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.

    I opened my eyes, frowning at the pleasant warmth I felt in his arms.

    no way.

    “… Today too?”

    Even the teacher who seemed to be perfect in everything had one thing.

    There’s something that’s been bothering me so much that I’d like you to fix it a little.

    “Ha… Master.”

    I lowered my head and saw my master sleeping in my arms.

    You are so cute….

    No, this is not it.

    The teacher has a bad sleeping habit.

    This person, who sleeps less than anyone else, once he falls asleep, he doesn’t wake up even if you shake him, so when I first experienced this as a child, it was really embarrassing.

    At that time, I had limited knowledge and thought, ‘You think of me as a doll,’ so I accepted it somewhat more positively than I do now. But the problem started when I got a little older and started harboring feelings that I shouldn’t have.

    Well… I won’t tell you what the problem is, but you know it’s really difficult.

    I was afraid that if we continued like this, we would cross the line and have an accident someday, so I decided to have separate rooms. But ever since I left the mountain with my teacher, we’ve always had to share the same room, and it’s really giving me a headache.

    But if I were to use a different room, the teacher would have a pout and start spreading rumors that I was pouting, so how could I say something like that?

    The only good thing is that Master and I sleep in different beds, but I wonder how the Master I’m holding in my arms ended up here.

    I tried to wash my face with regret, but the Master was completely covering one of my arms, so even that was impossible.

    But I couldn’t fall asleep again in this state, so I slowly tried to pull my arm out of Master’s body.

    “Yeah, where are you going… .”

    The Master’s arms dug deeper into my waist and began to rub his face against my chest like a playful cat.

    Soon, something, something very soft and… something squishy is touching my upper abdomen.

    “Ah, Master, please… .”

    I felt a little dizzy as if my whole body was heating up.

    I would like to close my eyes again and hug Master tightly like this, but…

    I feel dizzy when I think about how the Master will look at me after he wakes up.

    ‘No…!’

    After biting my lip hard enough to draw blood and barely coming to my senses, I tried to escape by twisting my body this way and that.

    Every time that happened, Master’s legs would wrap around my body and I would feel dizzy, but perhaps because he was asleep, I would gather my resolve and twist my body with all my might and succeed in getting out.

    “Ugh, gasp… .”

    I took a deep breath and wiped my face.

    I looked at my teacher with a blush on my face and a hint of resentment, and saw that the bandage that had been wrapped around his chest was gone.

    ‘please.’

    I immediately closed my eyes tightly.

    ‘I didn’t see anything.’

    No, how annoying must your sleeping habits be for you to take off the bandage?

    Doesn’t that make sense… .

    Still with his eyes tightly shut, he picked up his teacher and walked over to lay him down on the bed he was originally lying on.

    Because I had my eyes closed, I couldn’t see ahead of me, so I bumped into things here and there. Every time that happened, my teacher would wrap his arms around my neck to keep me from falling asleep.

    I couldn’t have an accident when everything was almost over, so I bit my tongue and came to my senses.

    After such a long and arduous time, I laid my Master down safely on the bed and then I also lay down on the bed with my soul gone.

    My heart is still pounding.

    I wiped my face with my hand.

    “ha… .”

    I guess it’s wrong to wake up earlier than the teacher today too.

    -Cheonharang

    It seems like this anonymous guy woke up later than me today.

    “Tsk tsk, what do you do every night.”

    I know what’s on the man’s mind, but I wish he would show a little self-restraint.
