episode_0078

“Hmm…”

woke up from sleep I tried to get up, but my arms were heavy. When I turned around, I saw Seris and Kara sleeping soundly with their arms around me. When I saw them, I remembered what happened last night.

-Hehe, hehe… Yoosung ciii…

-Ok.. Ugh.. Ek… Oppa, that’s it…

‘crazy.’

To have a headache. What on earth was I thinking last night? No matter how liberated you feel, you can do it with two people at the same time.

I tried to sigh, but my throat burned. I gently took my arm away from Kara. Likewise, I was trying to pull it away from Cerise, but she grabbed it quickly.

‘…?’

I tried to separate it. However, she started to exert more force little by little as if she didn’t like it. sick. I had no choice but to knock and wake her up.

“Uhm…?”

Cerise stood up, rubbing her eyes. As she was half-asleep, she looked at me and smiled brightly. He closes his eyes and sticks out his mouth.

“I don’t do it. It’s morning and my breath stinks.”

“Yes?!”

Ceris checked the smell of her breath by blowing on her palm. He smelled it and tilted his head.

“I can’t hear it?”

“How do you smell your breath? And not just from you, but from me too. Start kissing after brushing your teeth.”

“Hing…”

Cerise pouted her mouth and then took my hand.

“Then let’s go brush our teeth quickly.”

He said that and dragged me out. I grinned and followed her. At that time, my other arm was grabbed.

“…Where are you going?”

Kara asked, rubbing her eyes while holding my arm.

“Are you awake?”

“Yeah… Where are you two going..?”

“To brush my teeth.”

“Let’s go together…”

“Okay, then wake up.”

“Yes…”

Kara woke up half-awake. While trudging, he leaned on me. I had no choice but to hug her and support her.

“Huh? I do it too.”

Cerise followed Kara and leaned towards me. I looked at him as if asking what he was doing and he puffed out his cheeks.

“Okay, okay.”

He stretched out his arms and hugged my waist. Only then does his expression relax. I took the two of them out of the room to brush their teeth.

* * *

The daily lives of three people, Yoosung, Seris, and Kara, can be broadly classified into two categories. Working days and non-working days.

On working days, I carry out requests received from the Adventurer’s Guild. Usually, I receive requests that are completed in one day. After finishing, return home and rest.

On days when I’m not working, I do self-training and sparring.

Today was a non-work day, and the three of them are currently sparring.

Seris and Kara, armed with leather armor, approached Yoosung. I didn’t shut up and charge like I did when we first sparred. It moved slowly as if surrounding him.

Yoosung and the two looked at each other in turn. It’s not bad. With that thought in mind, I ran towards Kara. There was no reason to wait for the two to surround themselves.

“Kara!”

Cerys shouted as if telling us to prepare. Kara had already stopped moving and was getting into position. Step your right foot back and hold out the wooden sword held with both hands upside down.

Concentrate.

It reminds me of the angle of the Geongon Yeonhwan Talbaekdo (乾坤連環奪魄刀) that I learned a while ago.

The secret of Geongonyeonhwantalbaekdo is to return to the sea.

Her sword cut forward in a horizontal semicircle. I couldn’t cut down the meteor. Kara rotated her body without stopping.

‘Don’t be stiff, use flow instead of force.’

Her sword gently but quickly drew a diagonal circle. It went diagonally toward the shooting star. he spilled it However, this time Kara did not stop and spun around.

Geongon Yeonhwan Talbaekdo (乾坤連環奪魄刀)

Type 1 Yeonhwanhoegeom (連環回劍)

Kara’s dagger rained down on the shooting star. Yoosung either shed or dodged all of her swords. Kara’s sword didn’t even pass by him and stopped on the fifth spin.

‘This is the best we can do so far.’

If you forcefully rotate to her level, your posture will collapse. Even though it didn’t even touch Yoosung’s hair, it was okay.

In the short time she earned, Cerys arrived.

“Stab the Heavenly Demon!”

What Seris learned was the Plum Blossom Sword Technique.

However, it is different from that of a volcano.

Because the Heavenly Demon Divine Art latent in her head changed it.

When the techniques of the Heavenly Demon Godkong were included in the Plum Blossom Sword Technique, even Heocho was no longer just Heocho. If you ignore it, it will become a killer that takes your life.

Yes.

Her stab just now was fleshy. No matter how wooden the sword was, if it got hit by a weed, it wouldn’t be healthy.

Fortunately, the meteor escaped.

“Slash the Heavenly Demon! Slash the Heavenly Demon! Slash the Heavenly Demon! Slash the Heavenly Demon! Slash the Heavenly Demon!”

There was an herbivorous method for plum blossom sword technique, but it was very difficult to use. Seris only applied basic operations. However, the Heavenly Demon God’s techniques and her strength alone were enough to power her.

Terrifying weeds rushed to Yooseong.

‘That’s really…’

Yoosung carefully avoided them one by one and frowned. His pupils narrowed and his senses expanded.

“Stab the Heavenly Demon!”

Yoosung turned his upper body to avoid the stab. I wrapped my right arm around the outstretched arm. If you hit her elbow like this, it will break.

Instead of the elbow, he hit the side.

“Ugh!”

But Seris did not stop moving. There was venom in her eyes. The desire to somehow win against him and receive praise.

“Heavenly Demon Punch!”

Swing the shield in your left hand. Yoosung ducked to avoid it and hit the other side as well.

“Keuek…”

Only then, for a moment, did Seris’ back bend. Yoosung did not miss the opportunity. He coiled around Cerise’s body like a snake stalking its prey. Before she could react, the dagger reached her throat.

“Once.”

He said that and pushed Seris away. I faced Kara who approached me.

Seris looked at that scene and slumped her shoulders.

‘I lost again…’

She has never defeated Yoosung in sparring so far. Even though I got into trouble with Kara.

‘What’s missing?’

Cheonma Shingong and Plum Blossom Sword Technique.

These two martial arts skills are so amazing that even Seris, who doesn’t know much about martial arts, is impressed. Even though I fought with an appropriate mix of those two things, I lost.

It’s worth winning at least once!

Seris frowned. Then I mentally counted 60 seconds. The rule was that after losing once, you had to count 60 seconds to get back into sparring.

If one person is counting down 60 seconds and the other person gets hit, the sparring is over.

Seris counted all 60 seconds and ran towards the shooting star.

“Stab the Heavenly Demon!”

I will definitely win this time.

* * *

“Okay, the end. Rest for 20 minutes.”

At the word rest, Seris and Kara fell to the floor without any hesitation. I was breathing so hard that my chest was rising and falling.

I also sat down against the tree and caught my breath. I looked at Sister Seris.

‘Both of them have improved a lot.’

At first, I just rushed in blindly, but now I can measure the timing. Perhaps because we learned each sword technique one by one, our skills improved.

Also, as we continued to spar, our connection became much better than before. Even if it was a little difficult, it was probably thanks to dealing with two people at the same time.

I turned on the status window.

-Bangjungjutsu [Lv.2] [0.08%]

-Sahwatap [Lv.1] [37.28%]

=============================================

Compared to two months ago, the overall ability level has slightly increased. It’s probably thanks to constant exercise and training. In the case of magical power, it is thanks to training the mind.

‘The branch’s dagger skills don’t work well…’

It’s probably because I haven’t practiced the movements of mixing different martial arts. The proficiency level for the Manryu Returning God Art has been raised to 21%, but it is difficult to handle, and the Manryu Returning Sect can only be used if you are familiar with the Manryu Returning God Art.

I licked my lips and lowered my gaze.

‘The four-letter method is 37%. It’s gone up quite a bit.’

Sahwachebeop (蛇化體法) is a martial arts technique discovered while searching through Tang Dynasty martial arts techniques.

As the name suggests, it is a martial art that turns into a snake.

It was a little different from other martial arts techniques that focused on striking the opponent. Sahwachebeop is a martial arts technique that mainly targets an opening and wraps around the opponent’s body to subdue it.

Since it mainly targets joints where it is difficult to apply force, it is difficult to escape once caught unless the difference in strength is quite large.

That’s why I bought it even though it was a name I wasn’t familiar with.

‘Anyway, why don’t I eat plants?’

The flow of thought shifted to swordsmanship. Why don’t I have a herbal weapon like the ‘Yeonhwanhoegeom’ that Kara showed me?

‘Is it because the skill level is low?’

no.

Even though Kara’s skill level is level 1, isn’t she herbivorous? The same goes for Seris’s Plum Sword Technique.

‘…’

I don’t know.

‘Let’s take level 3 first and think about it.’

The things about herbivory were put off until later. Changed my thinking.

‘First of all, the next things to buy after the Sahwa style method…’

I organized the things I had in mind.

Manlyuguijong.

Memorization recovery method using Manryu Origin Shingong. For me, who often throws daggers, this is an essential martial art.

Nine Heavenly Wise Women, Lightning Cheonpung, Chuhon Bijeop, Mancheon Hwawoo, etc.

These are arm techniques that can be said to be the main martial arts of Sichuan Danga. It takes a lot of time and karma to learn one martial art, so you won’t be able to learn them all. Still, I think it would be better to learn Chuhonbijeop and Mancheonhwawoo at a later date.

‘Mancheon Woori Co., Ltd. is expensive, but you can use installments.’

Next is the seclusion technique of illusion.

Sang Tae-chang says I have a talent for secret work. I think that seclusion may have its own art.

blood poisoning agent

This is also a martial art I have never heard of before. However, it seemed useful to be able to remember the poison passed into the blood and synthesize it in the body.

In addition, there were many martial arts skills that looked good. But you won’t be able to learn them all. Choice and concentration were required.

‘…Head hurts.’

There was so much to think about. I closed the status window and got up. He spoke to the two people who were resting.

“The break is over! Wake up again!”

“Already?!”

“Joe, can’t you rest just a little longer..?”

“No.”

They stood the two up and started sparring again.

* * *

After training, I walked into the adventurer’s guild, feeling tired. After browsing through the bulletin board, I picked up a request to subdue a kobold. I walked to the reception desk.

“Hello, Mr. Han Yu-seong.”

The receptionist, whom I was now completely accustomed to, Orr, greeted me. I handed her the kobold subjugation request form.

“Is this a request to subdue kobolds again? I think Han Yu-seong can also start accepting higher-level requests.”

Orr glanced at me and said. I sighed.

“Didn’t I say this last time? Stability is better for now.”

Until a few months ago, we had to hire different people every time we made a request. It was very cumbersome.

However, recently, just the three of us, Seris and Kara, have been able to complete the quest without any problems.

Of course, this story is limited to quests to subdue goblins and kobolds. If you receive a more dangerous request, you will have to hire other personnel and stability will decrease.

So, I want to accept higher level requests after sufficient training. After at least two people beat me once each.

“It’s because I feel sorry. If you receive a higher level quest, you will be able to get promoted faster.”

Or said, looking at me, or more precisely, at the adventurous spirit in my arms.

“Mr. Or, why are you so interested in my grade? Of course, I appreciate your concern, but…”

She put her hands on her waist.

“Of course, it will be reflected in my grades!”

“Yes. As expected.”

After all, there was no such thing as pure goodness in the world.

“Oh, and do you know what?”

“What are you talking about?”

Orr motioned for me to come closer. As I approached, she whispered something in my ear.

“Seris and Kara, your promotions are getting closer..!”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. So much so that if you receive a request other than a goblin or kobold subjugation request, you will be promoted immediately. I’ll say it again, this isn’t a goblin or kobold subjugation request.”

“…Yes. For example, what kind of request would you have?”

“I knew you would say that, so I saved one! Let’s see…”

Orr began rummaging through the drawer and pulled out a piece of parchment.

“Ah, I found it. This is it.”

She handed me a request form.
