***

Although it was an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room, I didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable.

After all, an unmanned person needs to sleep well wherever he or she is.

Therefore, even if it was the day after drinking alcohol, she was able to wake up at any time.

“Umm…”

Chae-ryeon, who roughly tied up her flowing hair, got up from the bed without any hesitation. Since it was too much of a hassle to wear Moonwoljeong’s clothes, she put on some comfortable clothes and yawned loudly and opened the window.

Is it because the late summer heat is abating? The cool morning air feels good.

While Cheongho, where Munwoljeong is located, is filled with mist and humid every morning, the morning air here is just cool, perhaps because it is a village at the foot of Hongseongsan Mountain, a sacred mountain.

Thinking that it was a refreshing morning for the first time in a long time, she woke up, stretching like a cat, and trudged down to the first floor of the guest house.

Workers could be seen eating breakfast here and there in the rooms on the first floor.

And, in the empty seat, there was a familiar face.

“Sister.”

“…Why are you so early?”

“Huh? Is this the time you wake up every day?”

Chae-ryeon naturally approached and sat in front of her. Chae-ryeon tilted her head towards Chae-jin, who was staring at her intently.

“Why?”

“No. Well, there are other Moonlight Corps members going there…”

“Hmm? Would you like to eat it with vegetables today?”

At that time, there was a man who brought out a simple dish. It was June, the month when I had been playing Oh Geum-hee until a while ago. Chae-ryeon, who was looking at Chae-jin and the simple breakfast in his hand, jumped up from his seat.

Unbelievable.

A person of my age would make this mistake!

“No. I will eat with the entire crew. But what is it?”

“It’s called an island cannon. The people of Munwoljeong have a different meal…”

“Oh. Please give me that.”

After ordering the island gun, Chae-ryeon headed to the corner. Several Moonlight Troupe members came down and sat down near her to say hello, but Chae-ryeon glanced at Chae-jin, ignoring them.

Yuwol, who serves customers, clears dishes, and goes back and forth to the kitchen, naturally takes care of Chaejin, who is alone.

And every time, Chae-jin smiles sweetly and talks to Yu-wol, bursting into laughter at trivial stories.

‘Oh my god, what is that expression on my face right now? If there’s a mirror, I’d like to show it to you.’

I can’t believe the day will come again in my life when I see my sister making that kind of expression.

Of course, I already knew this, but the more I look at it, the more fun and amazing it becomes.

That’s why Chae-ryeon smiled heartily and glanced at her sister.

Honestly, if you don’t see this, what are you seeing?

When breakfast was over and Chae-jin had finished teaching Yu-wol Tai Chi, Chae-ryun took Chae-jin, who was resting, and headed outside.

“Ah. Why.”

Chae-jin frowned at Chae-ryeon who just stared at her for a long time without saying anything even after going to the tea garden in the village.

Chaeryeon grinned at her.

“Sister. What happened to the hairpin yesterday?”

“Huh? that? That’s…”

“Did you show it to the guest?”

“Huh? Uh oh. They said it suits me well. hey. Thank you.”

When Chae-jin spoke with embarrassment, Chae-ryeon smiled happily. It’s rewarding.

“Good. But I saw earlier that you and the owner of the house got along well…”

“G, really?”

This is Chaejin!

Chae-ryeon smiled happily, seeing her visibly liking one word.

Anyway, Yuwol doesn’t seem to be meeting anyone, and she doesn’t seem to have anyone in particular like her other than her sister, so it would be better if she could help out a little.

Chae-ryeon, filled with confidence, left the tea garden with Chae-jin and returned to the guest house.

“…Huh?”

I found Yoo-wol talking to Hong-ryeon in the backyard of the guesthouse.

“Oh my? When did you come?”

“…I heard you went out?”

“Hehe. The escort should come quickly.”

Chae-jin, who was next to him just moments ago, approaches in an instant, joins the conversation, and begins to laugh.

On the outside, she tries to create a friendly atmosphere, but Chae-ryeon, who knows her well, notices.

Chaejin is internally grinding her teeth.

Of course, we know that Hongryeon is Chaejin’s enemy. But then and now. The attitude towards her seems to be a bit different.

If before it was the attitude of a warrior facing an opponent he had to overcome, now isn’t it closer to seeing an enemy approaching his prey?

Of course, anyone other than his age would not have been able to recognize him, but since Chae-ryeon had been watching Chae-jin for a long time, he was able to tell the difference right away.

Chae-ryeon, who was tilting her head for a moment while looking at her, Hong-ryeon, and Yu-wol alternately, trembled at the thought that passed through her head.

for a moment. for a moment.

no way?

“…Wow.”

No way, he is the great disciple of Hong Seong-moon and the great disciple of Moon Wol-jeong.

Did you fall in love with those two?

Chae-ryeon couldn’t help but feel the admiration that came out inside her.

and.

“…It won’t be easy.”

I sensed that my sister’s romantic relationship would not be easy.

I guess I’ll have to stay here a little longer.

***

It was about the time when the seemingly endless heat of late summer ended and the cool air took over.

About 10 days had passed since Chae-ryeon and the Wolgwangdae came to my guest house, and the late summer heat had eased, the air was becoming cooler, and the grains on the farmland were beginning to ripen to a golden color.

Now that everyone is happy, I couldn’t help but be happy. That was because he had no choice but to use all his attention to monitor the situation.

There is a lot of work to be done, but I can’t not not do it.

I took a sip of the drink Yohwan brought me while organizing the documents. After smelling the sachet brought from Hongseongmun to wake me up, I turned my attention to the documents again.

“Mr. Yu. Wait, are you okay?”

“Yes.”

It was Kinoya and Wiyeol. When they came in, I looked at them with a smile, and they came in with a relaxed expression and naturally sat down.

“I went on patrol with the soldiers, and the number of thieves has increased recently.”

“Is that so?”

“So I led my soldiers and wiped them all out. Hehehe. You don’t have to praise me. Anyway, I am also a soldier who eats the rust of the empire.”

“He caught a few bad guys and showed off.”

“No, this kid?”

He smiled at the two who were bickering again. Although they seem to be just guests, the two are Cheon Il-hwa’s subordinates and military officers.

Maybe that’s why he patrolled the surrounding area with the local governor and helped catch thieves.

“Thank you.”

“Keuhum. I didn’t mean to receive a thank you. Rather, would you mind asking Yohwan to cook for you today?”

I nodded to him who was fiddling with the documents and making insinuations. It seems like he really liked medicinal dishes and medicinal drinks. I nodded because I could give as much as I wanted as long as that was all I wanted.

It’s cheap to hire a master at the level of Kinoya and Wiyeol.

“Hehe. Well then, thank you for your hard work.”

After they left, I went back to focusing on the documents. While I was making calculations about this year’s harvest and what I would have to do with it to get through the winter, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

“You look busy. Please eat this while eating.”

Is it because you have a lot of work these days? The amount of green juice made by Yohwan has increased. I smiled at Chaejin who brought it.

“Thank you.”

“No. But how long have you been this busy?”

“Well… if we get through this safely, I think things will be quiet for a while.”

At the end of Part 1, there was a winter event and New Year’s event, and there was no real threat until Part 2 began.

Of course, this is the story line of Heavenly Moon, and since it has already been twisted into preventing the extinction of Hong Seong-moon, I don’t know how it will play out, but wouldn’t it be better to at least think positively?

At my words, she looked up at me and gently raised her hand.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Aren’t you overdoing things these days?”

Her hand was cupping my forehead. Soft, cold hands. I smiled as I met the worry in his dark eyes.

“It’s okay. I took some medicine with the herbs sent by Hongseongmun and I felt better.”

“Is that really effective?”

“Not long ago, I received a call from Cheonghoe Sangdan, and they said it sold so well that they said they couldn’t buy it at the opening. There’s no way it wouldn’t be effective even though it’s that kind of medicine.”

And who grew the herb? That alone gives you a hundred times more courage.

“Still, if anything is difficult, let me know anytime.”

“I am always grateful. If you feel like you’re having a hard time, I’ll lean on you, so don’t worry.”

Smirking, only then did Chaejin smile in satisfaction and leave.

I returned to my seat.

Whether the enemy comes or not, the harvest season is approaching and there is a lot of work to be done.

When I was looking at the documents like that.

-Knock knock.

There was a knock on the window.

I stuck my head in that direction and saw a familiar face.

A beauty who looks good with red hair, and a girl who is familiar with gray hair.

It was Hongryeon and Sayun.

I smiled at the two waving hands and went downstairs.

“Two people came out on patrol today. It’s been a while. Sayoon.”

“Yes! Long time no see! You didn’t see me last time, right?”

From what I heard, there was another special class taught by the Sword Master. It’s unfortunate, but what can you do?

Still, I feel relieved because I feel like I’m getting stronger every day.

“I heard there have been a lot of thieves recently. But… Guest owner. Do you have time tomorrow?”

I smiled and nodded to Sayoon’s question.

Isn’t there time that comes and goes?

It’s not a problem to postpone work for a day or two.

Whatever you do, let’s work overtime.

“It went well!!”

Hongryeon smiled brightly and held out the paper. I was puzzled when I received it.

“What is this?”

“The renovation of the Hongseongmun buildings has been completed. So, I wanted to invite the guest to have a meal…”

“Invitation letter?”

“Please do not refuse. I prepared a lot to give it to the guest. Please don’t feel pressured and think of it as having fun!”

I smiled at the two women who were looking forward to it.

ah. I’m going to Hongseongmun, so how can I refuse?

It will be enough rest for me.
