I looked at the strawberries in my pocket.

“That’s scary… .”

Despite being a fairly high level, the taste was so good that I lost my mind for a moment… .

In my opinion, this is a very dangerous thing.

To put it a bit hyperbolically, this is a taste that threatens the peace of the world, and I have a duty to deal with this in order to protect that peace.

He nodded with a determined expression and threw another strawberry into his mouth.

“Master… If you eat that much, your teeth will rot.”

“This isn’t candy. How could I possibly get a cavity?”

“… I don’t know.”

I felt a lump in my throat at the nameless man’s slightly shaking head and sighing… .

Originally, those who always walk the righteous path are bound to be lonely.

I don’t know about Anonymous, but I am still protecting world peace today!

“Hoohoo.”

I felt so proud of myself that my shoulders rose for no reason.

For some reason, the anonymous person looked at me with cold, cold eyes.

“… What is it?”

“No… .”

“Tsk.”

I turned my head away and ignored that anonymity.

I never thought that someone anonymous would understand such profound life wisdom.

Isn’t Myeong-un just a fool who hasn’t lived even a tenth of my life? There’s no way such a fool could understand my lofty thoughts.

He sighed and shook his head.

… Now that I think about it.

Lately, that is, since I came out of the mountain, I feel like this guy is really lacking in respect and emulation of his teacher.

‘How annoying.’

It’s so annoying.

Such anonymity requires some punishment.

What kind of punishment would be good… .

As I was tilting my head from side to side, thinking, a brilliant idea crossed my mind.

Anonymity is the thing I hate the most.

Just ignore it.

The corners of his mouth turned up crookedly.

‘I won’t even look at you again until I get back to the inn.’

Well… if you look at it one way, you might think that I’m being unilaterally upset, but I’m absolutely, absolutely not upset for showing this kind of attitude.

Unlike others, I am a teacher with a truly broad mind.

So, this can be said to be a true education as a teacher.

“Huh.”

He snorted and turned his head away coldly.

We walked like that for several minutes without saying a word to each other.

I’m starting to get bored.

It’s fun to look at the market scenery for a little while, but it’s so boring to keep seeing only similar buildings and objects.

He let out a small sigh and glanced back at the nameless man.

… By now, wouldn’t Moo-myeong have realized his mistake and been properly reflecting on it?

But was my wish so illusive that it could not come true? Contrary to my expectations, Mumyeong frowned and his lips stuck out like a duck’s bill.

No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look like he’s reflected on it.

… this guy?

Have you not realized your mistake yet?

How stupid is this… .

Even if you don’t realize your mistake, it’s still a problem.

That guy! And his disciple! His master! Me! I showed my displeasure so clearly! Shouldn’t you have apologized first?!

What on earth is so frustrating about this guy that he’s sticking his lips out like that?!

As his emotions grew somewhat intense, his face turned bright red.

“What! Why are you making that face!”

“… Why is my expression like that?”

“Hey, profit! Put your lips together and speak!”

He reached out and pinched the nameless lips.

“Eum! Seumneum! Eummudeu!”

“You! You should be in some pain!”

Anonymous tried hard to pull away my hand that was pinching his lips.

‘No way.’

He immediately drew up his internal energy from his danjeon and tightened his strength so that Moo-myeong would never be able to let go.

Because of that, whenever the anonymous person tries to pull my hand away, he feels more pain and now he just taps my shoulder with his hand.

“Tsk, it’s still annoying though.”

I’ve decided to slowly let it go to this extent.

As I said before, I am a very generous teacher, so I can overlook one or two mistakes made by my students.

As he was nodding his head like that, Moo-myeong let out a groan.

“Master… It really hurt.”

The nameless lips that spoke like that were obviously not in good condition.

Hmm, was that a bit harsh…?

It must have been a bit harsh to use my internal energy to pinch the lips of an anonymous person.

If it weren’t for the anonymity, those lips might have fallen off.

Thinking about it that way, I realized I may have been a little harsh on her, so I decided to try to comfort her a little.

“Hmm, I guess I was a bit harsh. I guess I should apply some medicine.”

Isn’t there something that has been called a panacea for wounds since ancient times?

I spread out my index finger and put it in my mouth. I sucked on it for a while and covered my index finger with my saliva.

“Be-”

When I took my index finger out of my mouth, a long line of saliva connecting my lips and index finger sparkled in the sunlight.

‘Hmm, maybe I buried it too much.’

After shaking off the dirt from my fingers, I stretched out my arm and placed my index finger on the nameless lips.

“What, Teacher!”

“Keep your mouth shut. If you keep moving your mouth, won’t it be hard to apply?”

“…”

I slowly swept from the edge of my upper lip to the tip of my lower lip, making sure my saliva was evenly spread across my anonymous lips.

Throb-

“Oh, you want me to stay still?”

I poked the nameless, naughty lips that kept breaking my concentration.

“You keep moving, do you not want to apply the medicine?”

Only then did Moo-myeong completely close his lips, and he even shut his eyes tightly, as if he had made up his mind to remain as still as possible.

It was so funny to see that, he smiled slightly and continued to spread the ointment so that the nameless wound could heal.

When the saliva runs low, replenish it, and continue until the nameless wound heals.

“Hmm! That’s enough!”

“…”

The nameless lips, without a single scar, now just shone brightly.

It’s perfect.

As expected, there is nothing wrong with the words of the old people.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I just believed the old saying and spit on the lips of an unknown person without any basis.

If it really doesn’t work, then it’s obvious that Anonymous will be upset, so how can that be?

A time in the past when there was no one beside me, so perhaps a distant past.

Whenever I got a wound on my body, I would often smear the wound with my saliva, and every time, miraculously, the wound would heal.

I guess it might be because the grass I’ve been eating my whole life is some kind of medicinal herb with exceptional efficacy.

Well, it might not be because of that, it’s just a guess.

How can human saliva become medicine if you keep chewing herbs?

There may be some reason I don’t know about, maybe it’s because it’s a fantasy world.

Of course, this is not very important.

Wouldn’t it be great if only the nameless wounds healed?

After a brief recollection, he turned his head and looked at the nameless man.

Hmm, is it really that bad?

The anonymous face is unusually red.

… At that level, it looks like it’s redder than a strawberry?

Well… wouldn’t it be better to get better quickly, even if it’s a little uncomfortable, rather than being in pain?

‘Hmm, of course.’

I nodded my head.

After that, Myeong-un just kept wiping his reddened face and sighing deeply, and didn’t say a single word even after arriving at the inn.

Oh, you said good night at the end.

anyway.

It seems like Anmyeong is very angry, so from now on, he should at least speak in advance or exercise self-restraint.

…

The next day, when I woke up, for some reason, Moo-myeong had woken up before me.

“Anonymous, why are you up first?”

“…”

“Anonymous?”

Not hearing an answer, I looked closely at the nameless person with slightly closed eyes.

Myeong-i, who hasn’t fully come to his senses yet, is sitting on the bed, blankly staring up at the ceiling.

I also looked up at the ceiling, wondering if I could see something on the ceiling, but again, there was nothing.

Hmm, why is he like that?

Anonymous had said that we had to move quickly today because we needed to find a carriage.

But I wake up early and just stare blankly at the ceiling.

This is really….

Should I say that I am diligent because I wake up early, or should I say that I am lazy because I keep spacing out?

Unable to bear it any longer, I jumped out of bed, walked over to Mu-myeong, and poked him in the side.

“… Master, are you awake?”

“It happened a long time ago, you punk.”

He lightly snapped his fingers and slapped the nameless man on the forehead to bring him to his senses.

The anonymous man stroked his forehead for a long time, then his eyes gradually opened wide and he blurted out words that he couldn’t form, blushed, and ran to the bathroom.

Hmm, why is he like that?

Did you hit me in the forehead and trigger some forgotten trauma?

But… before, when I tapped his forehead, he just grumbled, and there was no reaction like that… .

Hmm, what would I do if I thought deeply about it?

Time will tell anyway.

I threw myself on the bed and rolled around to wait for Myeong-i to come out after washing up.
