hmm. I guess I was too oblivious.

Black Cat must be suffering from quite complicated emotions as she faces Hyeok Kirin. From the black cat’s point of view, I think I would like the current situation to be quickly cleaned up.

It would be best to quickly check the upcoming schedule and then skip it.

“So, how do you plan to move forward, Hyeokkirin Daehyeop?”

“First, I would like to meet with the bandits and negotiate.”

Hyeok Kirin himself didn’t think that meeting the bandits would bring any major changes, but it was necessary.

There is a lot of information that can only be obtained through face-to-face contact.

“Even then, I would like to borrow the insight and wisdom of Rongin.”

“Hmm. I understand.”

Normally, external escorts do not accompany important events, but are they willing to share important information?

It would be nice if I could get at least one more piece of information.

“Huhu As expected, just like I heard, this person is full of spirit of negotiation. This Hyukmo bows his head.”

“Hehe, nothing special.”

“Keuhum!”

The black cat cleared his throat.

“In order to arrive at Sanchae during the day, I think I will have to leave at dawn tomorrow. It would be better to go to bed early today for tomorrow.”

Hyukkirin nodded and stood up first. I was about to get up too, but the black cat grabbed my sleeve.

“What’s going on?”

“Senior. Isn’t that too slutty?”

“Hmm?”

“Hyuk Kirin gives me a few words of praise, so I don’t give a shit… What should I do if I promise to jump into a dangerous situation without knowing what the bandits will do?”

“I am accompanying Hyeok Kirin, so I have to eat as much as I can. And considering the risk, it’s right for us to stay as close to Hyeok Kirin as possible. When a conflict arises with bandits, you need to know the situation to intervene.”

“Still..!”

hmm.

I guess I was too inconsiderate again.

The black cat’s mind must be very complicated right now. It is inevitable that facing Hyeok Kirin will be burdensome. The black cat would have wanted to increase the distance somehow, but because I stepped forward, it was in a situation where it had no choice but to stay closer to the white cat.

“Haha, don’t worry. I will stick close to Hyeok Kirin.”

“….senior?”

“You need to stay away and get your mind together. I just need to take good care of Hyuk Kirin.”

The black cat trembled. hmm. Did I say something too blatantly? Black Cat was strongly denying that she had feelings for Hyuk Kirin.

“Senior! You said you had no interest in Hyuk Kirin!”

“Yes. Yes, I understand. It could just be that Hyuk Kirin is burdensome. So, since I will be alone with Hyuk Kirin, you can use the excuse of long-distance security to stay away. All I have to do is speak well to Hyuk Kirin!”

I only said that and ran away to go up to the guest room. After the black cat goes to bed and kicks off the blanket, his emotions will be sorted out. It would be better to see him tomorrow than to be tormented by a black cat whose emotions are going strong right now.

“Then that’s what you do!”

“Senior! Dear senior!”

I quickly fled to the guest room, ignoring the black cat’s cries.

The next morning.

Many angles. Many angles.

A strange journey has begun. As I told the black cat yesterday, I drove the horse close to Hyeok Kirin.

Then, the black cat drove the horse and got in between me and the white cat.

When I looked at him wondering what was going on, the black cat turned its head away.

I waited to see if it would make a sound, but the black cat just turned its head and said nothing.

Hyeok Kirin spoke to the black cat with an awkward expression.

“Hmm. Sozer. Do you have anything to do with Hyuk Lee’s mother?”

A black cat came between me and Hyeok Kirin. And he turned his head away from me. Then, the story goes that the black cat kept looking in the direction of the white cat.

Because of the black spirit qigong, it is impossible to look at the black cat accurately, so just the fact that the head is turned in that direction is bound to make Hyeok Kirin nervous.

“…It’s no big deal. I’m sorry for bothering you.”

“Haha, no. It feels nice and peaceful to go side by side like this.”

Hyukkirin smiled vaguely and looked at the black cat, and the black cat seemed to feel sorry for making Hyukkirin uncomfortable, so it turned its gaze straight ahead again.

“Well, now that I think about it…if you talk to me…you end up not talking to your senior…so there was a way…because there wouldn’t be any charm effect anyway…”

The black cat that was muttering something raised its head.

“Hyeok Sohyeop!”

“Yes. Please tell me.”

“Hyuk Sohyeop, did you run from Jeomchangpa to eradicate bandits?”

“Hmm…actually, it’s a little different.”

Hyuk Kirin continued speaking with a bitter smile.

“Now that I think about it, don’t you two know about my sister-in-law’s circumstances?”

Black Cat and I nodded.

“Then it will be easy to talk about. It’s because of Samae. I wanted to at least allow the Samadhi to focus entirely on his work, so I rushed out of the Samadhi.”

“I see. I guess you are very close with Sojeo Yeo Il-ye. If you are willing to step forward like this.”

“Well. I don’t know if we can say we’re close.”

“Hmm. That’s a strange thing to say. Are you saying that even though we are running around like this, we are not close?”

“It is true that I cherish Samae. But I’m not sure if I can say I’m close with Samae. is it so. I may have rushed out of the monastery just because I wanted to become friends with the monk.”

“Hehe, Hyuk Sohyeop, you have a knack for making things difficult to say.”

“Hahaha. I hear things like that often.”

What kind of situation is this? I don’t know what kind of change of heart the black cat felt, but it ended up being in charge of Hyeok Kirin instead of me.

As they watched the black cat’s rapidly changing appearance, wondering what was happening, their interaction gradually became more lively.

“It’s a cat. Even in the text, small friends come to visit looking for food. haha. There’s not much that those little guys might like though.”

“Try placing a paper box in a place with warm sunlight. There are people who take a rest even if they don’t have anything to eat.”

I suddenly felt like I was being lingered around because I couldn’t participate in the conversations of insiders. Hyeok Kirin looks like a man on the outside, but inside he is a woman. In an instant, the black cat and I started getting along well and started talking happily about various topics.

“Hehe!”

“Hahaha!”

“Whahahaha! Woohahahaha!”

When the two people burst out laughing, I occasionally joined in and laughed, but I didn’t feel like I was part of the story at all.

For a long time, I rode a horse and was left alone like that.

“Wild vegetables are starting to appear.”

We reached Jeongnamsan Mountain, where bandits were entrenched.

*** ***

Jade Dragon Credit Union’s Hyuk Kirin had an appearance that anyone could recognize unless he had eye holes. Even the bandits from Howangchae and Delicious Guys easily recognized Hyuk Kirin.

“It’s bloody.”

A situation where hundreds of bandits surrounded us and glared at us with murderous eyes. My heart was pounding and my mouth was dry, but Hyeok Kirin stayed calm without even raising an eyebrow.

The spirit of the leader of Huye Shishi.

It felt like I was alone in suppressing the ferocity of hundreds of bandits.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been fighting with the bandits like that. I was barely able to be guided into the living quarters.

When I entered the living quarters, I went to the center and saw four people sitting on a large chair.

I was wondering why they were making people wait so long, and it seemed like they had prepared such a poor production.

“Welcome to the wild vegetables of our green-ripe union. I met the famous Jade Dragon Credit Union.”

“This is Hyuk Kirin from Okryong Credit Union.”

“Ho Wangchae Chaeju Wang Maengho. From here, Palbochae Chaeju Chinese Restaurant, Bok Choy, Chaeju Green Vegetable, and Jinmichae Chaeju Seafood Scallop.”

As soon as a light introduction was made, Hyuk Kirin immediately threw a fastball.

“The suffering of the people is shocking the sky and shaking the earth. Please stop looting immediately and return the stolen property.”

“Hahahaha! Nonsense! There is a law in the mountains! No matter how much of a fortune teller you are, you can’t even move the mountain’s law!”

“How long do you think you can last on Mt. Jeongnam? Even though you made a big deal out of it, you did it too big.”

The four owners exchanged glances and then snorted.

“That is nothing for you to worry about!”

There is definitely a mastermind behind these four people. This is not something that at most four creditors can handle. In this Sichuan martial forest, something unprecedented is going on, and yet you remain so calm? With a strong backing, this kind of confidence will come.

Hyeok Kirin must have sensed that fact as well, and his complexion hardened.

“Be careful! We, Green Forest Seventy-Two, have not forgotten that your sister-in-law harmed our brother!”

“Samae and Makyeobu’s work was simply a personal benefit. If Noklip Seventy-Chae is going to interfere with a person’s personal finances, Jeomchang cannot remain silent either.”

Hyuk Kirin’s momentum changed at once. A pressure that sent a chill down my spine dominated the audience.

“ji, you are threatening us now! The brothers of Green Forest Seventy-Two Houses will not remain silent! Will Jeomchang throw the world into chaos?”

“I will speak clearly. Makyeobu and Samae’s work is a personal benefit. The moment Nokrim Seventy-two utters this, either Jeomchang or Nokrim Seventy-two will disappear from this central plain without a trace.”

gulp.

Your landlord’s uvula continued to flutter at Hyuk Kirin’s fierce force and cool tone.

In the end, in Moorim, power says everything.

It was Jeomchang’s real strength and there was no need for anything. Even if Hyeok Kirin and Yeo Il Yeman go on a tour, Noklim Seventy-two Houses won’t be able to last for a few years.

Now I understand why Hyeok Kirin came to Sanchae in person.

Surely, even though the bandits are doing these things and going around saying, ‘This is all because of Yeo Il-ye,’ everyone knows that it is not reasonable to say such things.

However, there are quite a few people in this world who mistake the object of their resentment.

Sometimes just the suspicion, regardless of the truth, can be fatal.

In order to prevent such a situation, Hyeok Kirin decided to personally visit the mountain cabin and warn them.

“It is true that Jeomchang puts down his sword and strives to save people, but the Taoist monks of the Jeomchang sect are those who uphold the banner of the descendants who shot down the sun. Keep in mind that he will pierce the enemy without hesitation if he deems it necessary.”

The borrowers couldn’t even make a noise due to their pale complexions. No matter how great a supporter you have, you won’t be able to take the sword of the Jeomchang faction.

“Also, never hurt anyone. If he hears that you harmed someone, this Hyeok Kirin will not forgive you, regardless of the fortune telling.”

With only those last words left, we left the living quarters.
