“[Changcheon Sword House] is one of the best ‘four guilds’ in Korea. It started out as an ordinary small to medium-sized guild, but it rose to its current position by beating down monsters on the border as soon as they saw them.”

Getting into Ban Harin’s car, we head to [Changcheon Geomga] where Kim Sarang is waiting.

Eunha sat down in the passenger seat and listened to Ban Harin’s cold voice.

Ban Harin in the driver’s seat, Eunha in the passenger seat,

In the back seat, Kang Na-ri was brought as a safety accident prevention totem.

The August sky was clear and sunny, as if blessing the future of the galaxy.

Of course, the moment you get out of the car, your entire body will melt into the hot asphalt and disappear,

It is definitely a good weather to go somewhere.

“As the guild name contains the character ‘sword (劍)’, most guild members enjoy using ‘body strengthening’ rather than skills. Therefore, it seems that the guild that hunters with ordinary skills most want to join is [Changcheon Swordsman].”

“I see… Honestly, I can’t hear it.”

“I’m explaining this in case you don’t know, so it doesn’t matter if you ignore it.”

Boom…

A green traffic light indicating to go straight.

A car leaves Euncheon-gu and travels on the national highway.

Eunha calmed her pounding heart as she watched the landscape of increasingly tall mountains.

Checking the time, it’s 12:20.

There are about 40 minutes left until the appointment time with Kim Sarang.

“By the way, Eunha. I have to go to work at the cafe tomorrow too… so I’m only learning swordsmanship from Kim Sarang for one day?”

Kang Na-ri, a debtor who was brought to Ban Harin, asked an obvious question.

“For more details, we should meet and talk.”

“… … Isn’t this just an excuse to meet Eunha…?”

She said she wanted to try it at least once, and took a seat in the wide backseat and assumed the posture of a rich woman.

Is it because the potion trade with the Hunter Association has enriched the bank account? It’s nice to see Kang Na-ri’s confidence growing more confident day by day.

I don’t know Kim Sa-Rang’s intention for inviting me to [Changcheon Geomga] without much explanation, but I thought it was a good thing.

it will work out somehow.

Unlike monsters, they can communicate, so they will explain themselves.

“By the way, Eunha. When I left from ‘Saetbyul Apartment’ earlier. What did you stop by the convenience store for?”

“I had something to buy. I just ran out of it.”

“… … ? I understand for now.”

The weather is clear. A holiday filled with endless questions.

Eunha passed the time absent-mindedly by looking at the uphill road that was completely turned into a mountain path.

“… … A mountain road like this is nice sometimes.”

“Ugh… Eunha. I’m going to lie down for a bit… I’m feeling motion sick…”

Giggle~!

Eunha gazes at the lush mountain path.

Her hand, which was raised unnaturally, was clenched awkwardly, as if it were cupping a small hand.

… … .

… … .

A large guild led by Kim Sarang’s mother.

The headquarters of the [Changcheon Sword Family] was hidden deep in the mountains.

A winding dirt road.

A place reached at the end of a steep uphill road.

The headquarters of [Changcheon Sword House] was surrounded by a wall that looked like something out of a martial arts novel.

The wall was engraved with beautiful patterns, like traces of a dragon passing by.

The tiles that rise above it like ink give off an old-fashioned atmosphere.

A quaint wall.

At the tightly closed entrance, there is a plaque with the name [Changcheongeomga].

‘Is it like a swordsmanship gym?’

A mountain far away from the secular world, where Taoist monks and immortals would travel the earth.

Although there were no steep cliffs, I felt like I was running low on oxygen because I was located so high up.

Unknowingly, Eunha pulls on her collar and takes a deep breath.

‘Isn’t it uncomfortable to live in a place like this? What about convenience stores? ‘The radio waves explode?’

I think the headquarters of a large guild was built in a mountain like this.

Perhaps this is one of the image management tools.

“It’s almost the top of the mountain. Are other large guilds like this too?”

“No, Eunha. [Blue Dragon Guild] can be reached in 10 minutes by subway from Euncheon-gu.”

” Since the guild headquarters of [Changcheon Sword House] is located in such a remote place, it seems like they created a separate branch like the Hunter Association and most of the guild members work there. ”

Squeak…

The car carrying them went uphill.

You can see a vacant lot carved out of a large mountain.

The mountain peak I looked up at. Pure white clouds hanging over a hillside.

It’s a mysterious feeling, like you’re in a martial arts novel.

Even though it was high up in the mountains, there were more cars parked there than expected.

A beaded ice cream truck could also be found in front of the wall.

flinch!

When she sees the sweet ice cream, Eunha’s hand twitches as if something invisible is pulling her.

“Eunha. It’s all here.”

“Thank you for driving.”

Ban Harin parked his car in the corner of the parking lot.

Soon she looked down at the carrier placed at Eunha’s feet.

He then looks back at Kang Na-ri, who is suffering from car sickness in the backseat, and gets out of the driver’s seat, adjusting his ‘inverted cross hairpin’.

“I’m going to go buy some beaded ice cream with Nari Kang for a while.”

With those words, Ban Ha-rin opens the back seat and takes Kang Na-ri, who is suffering from motion sickness, out.

Kang Na-ri, who was sobbing like a zombie, also leaves the car with a happy heart.

“… good. Let’s get ready now.”

“Did you call me?”

“No. Go away.”

“It’s too much.”

Eunha is left alone in a car.

After taking a quick look around the quiet surroundings, she took out the [Black Book] from the carrier between her legs.

New place.

[Black person] says to go to a place you have never been to every holiday.

If so, there will definitely be a new guide.

I was looking for a way to check the [Black Book] without anyone knowing that I might be late if I went into the building to check it…

I couldn’t feel more at ease as Ban Ha-rin took Kang Na-ri and left the place.

‘This is good… Wouldn’t it be better not to show the guide to Mr. Banharin?’

Eunha looked at the [Black Book] with a complicated smile.

The [black book] I took out for the first time after leaving the apartment smelled of blood, and there was a pitch black ‘bookmark’ stuck in the middle of the page.

A ‘strange picture’ drawn on a black bookmark.

A picture of an eye making a window with a finger and looking into it.

Eunha felt thirsty from the gaze she felt from the bookmark.

She swallowed her saliva with difficulty and then poked the eye drawn on the ‘bookmark’ as if telling her to attack her.

I opened the page with a satisfied smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Mirinae Dojo… Isn’t this the guild headquarters?”

After checking the new guide, Eunha closed the [Black Book].

The ever-increasing rules make me dizzy, but it’s okay.

If you look at it one by one, it’s not a big deal. All you have to do is come to your senses.

click. click.

Immediately after, he takes out the ‘Derringer pistol’ for emergency escape from his carrier and loads it with bullets he got from a convenience store on the way.

There are 3 ‘escape opportunities’ purchased at [Happy Convenience Store] again.

There happened to be three people in the car… but it must have been a coincidence.

Tuk!

At that time, I missed one of the bullets I was holding because I was not used to reloading.

The dropped bullet rolls around and enters under the passenger seat.

An ambiguous gap between the car door and the passenger seat.

I don’t know why things like smartphones always fall into that gap.

suddenly becomes urgent

Eunha raised her head to check where Ban Harin, who was away, was.

… … Scream~!

And the sound that comes.

The sound of a young child’s laughter.

At the same time, a cold bullet is inserted between Eunha’s chest.

“… … ?”

A startled Eunha pulled out a bullet from her chest.

It’s a bullet dropped under a chair.

Did someone unseen pick up the fallen bullet and put it in a place where it wouldn’t fall?

I’m not sure, but thanks to you, I survived.

“Ha… I almost died from motion sickness.”

“People don’t die from things like that.”

Kang Na-ri and Ban Ha-rin return just then, having bought some beaded ice cream.

Eunha hurriedly put the [Black Book] into her carrier and put the ‘escape button’ on her waist,

As I threw it away, I got out of the passenger seat with the remaining bullet still in my chest.

This won’t come off.

why.

“Eunha. Are you done with your work?”

“Thank you.”

Banharin said as he handed me the ice cream with an expressionless face.

As expected, you left the seat empty on purpose.

Like cold ice cream, a cold but sweet voice tapped Eunha on the shoulder.

… … .

Squeak!

At that time, a sound was heard unexpectedly.

Eunha, startled, lowered her head at the light clang sound coming from her feet.

… … I can’t see my feet.

Avoid obstacles that block your view, and lower your head to the side as if nothing is wrong.

“… … Key?”

What fell at your feet.

car keys.

As if it was trying to strike the galaxy’s Achilles’ heel at any moment,

He is aiming at her with the blunt serrated part of the key.

What is this.

Giggle~!

In the blink of an eye.

Who picked it up?

“… … ? These are my car keys. I think I spilled it by mistake.”

After checking his pockets, Ban Harin approaches with an expressionless face and picks up the car keys.

Does she sometimes make mistakes too?

Perhaps because it is a holiday, strange things happen often.

『Fun Bungbung! Will you give me your sister?』

is it. The mites were trying to pick up a used car for you.

However, if a person without a driver’s license receives a used car as a gift, all they hear is that they are told to die.

‘Um…what do you think? Mites can play around.’

Eunha raised the corners of her mouth, wiping away her goosebumps.

I hope tomorrow comes soon.

I want to go to work at a cafe.

… … .

… … .

anyway,

Although the safety accident prevention totem suffered from motion sickness, it arrived at [Changcheon Sword House] safely.

All that remains is to find Kim Sarang, who is willing to wait in front of the signboard(?).

But just then, a woman wearing a black uniform approaches with a confident gesture.

“… … .”

A woman in her early 20s with black hair tied in a ponytail.

The only daughter of [Changcheon Sword Family], Sword Demon Kim Sarang. She taps the long sword at her waist and approaches Eunha.

A neat and tidy gait and proudly spread shoulders.

If the main character of a martial arts novel existed in reality, wouldn’t it feel like this?

As long as you keep your mouth shut, you are beautiful.

I felt it in the last [Daemari Rift Ground], but I can’t believe it’s the same D-class hunter.

A sincere admiration leaks from between Eunha’s lips.

“… … Hehe. Hahaha.”

It would have been much more atmospheric if it weren’t for the beaded ice cream that I shoved in a mouthful on a hot day.

“It’s been a while, Kim Sa…”

“Heunghi.”

“What?”

“… … Gulp… Ugh, this is so cold… No, hmmm. He’s a swordsman.”

“Ah… Yes. Mr. Sword Demon. It’s been a while since I last saw you. Have you waited long?”

“My heart says that waiting is training.”

Whether you talk on the phone or face to face,

It’s the same as not knowing what you’re talking about.

It looks like the heat has taken its toll.

“There are about 10 minutes left until midnight, the scheduled time… Have you all had lunch?”

“Not yet. And 1 p.m. is probably not midnight. I also said this when I called yesterday.”

“Then let’s eat first.”

Kim Sarang turns away, pretending not to hear Eunha’s comment.

Hiding his red face from embarrassment, he motioned for the three people to follow him, and then walked towards the entrance with the signboard for [Changcheon Sword Family].

“… … Mr. Eunha. That stone head has become stronger than when I saw it a long time ago.”

“I’m a simple person.”

Drurrr.

I follow Kim Sarang, dragging a suitcase containing [The Black Book].

Pass the cars parked in front of the wall and stop in front of a front door that even a large carriage can pass through.

The wooden gate feels intimidating just by looking up at it.

Like in a historical drama or martial arts novel, is there someone waiting behind the door to open it separately?

Eventually, Kim Sarang put the finished paper cup of beaded ice cream into the recycling bin next to the gate.

I approached the front door, flapping the sleeves of my black uniform fashionably.

“… Come here…”

Beep. Beep beep beep.

And, I couldn’t shout out loud because I was shy,

Press the door lock installed in the corner of the gate.

Beep beep beep.

… Beep! Beep! Beep!

Wrong.

Kim Sarang’s earlobes turn bright red as she turns her back.

“The concept is bad enough.”

Ban Harin’s cold voice struck me like a dagger.

… … .

… … .

Today’s goal.

Learn swordsmanship(?) from Kim Sarang.

Survive by following the rules of [Miriena Dojo Guide].

But for some reason, I feel restless even before I go in.

It feels like time is passing slowly… I wonder if I will be able to return home on time.

“This is the dojo of the practitioners of [Changcheongeomga]. It is also the home of the principal with a long history…”

“Shall we eat lunch first?”

“Ah. Don’t do that. Follow me, Eunha Doryeo (道侶).”

By the way, the same goes for the Blue Dragon Guild.

Is it true that large guilds only have unique people?

Passing through the gate that opened smoothly as if it had been oiled, Eunha walked around the headquarters of [Changcheon Geomga], which was reminiscent of a large martial arts set.

An outdoor dance hall with a marble floor.

Magnificent buildings covered with tiles.

[Changcheon Geomga] guild members wearing uniforms that we occasionally meet recognize Kim Sarang and bow their heads.

However, rather than showing respect to the guild leader’s only daughter, it was closer to turning a blind eye to avoid getting involved with Kim Sarang, who was consumed by the concept.

“I asked you this last time, what on earth does it mean?”

“There is such a thing.”

Cry~!

Squeak. Squeak.

Every now and then, whenever I look away, I pick up some shiny miscellaneous things like coins that have fallen behind my back.

Following Kim Sarang’s guidance, Eunha headed to the 24-hour convenience store proudly built on the guild site.

… … .

… … .

“… … Eunha too.”

“I know even if you don’t tell me.”

And then, after a while.

Eunha, wearing the same black uniform as Kim Sa-rang, let out a helpless laugh as she clutched the palm that had been scratched by the wooden sword.

Ban Harin quietly approached me and fixed my disheveled gi, but I couldn’t close the wide open front flap because I couldn’t find the right size.

“I think swordsmanship would be difficult with that body. As someone watching from the side, I am happy”

“Mr. Ban Harin. Snout.”

Giggle~!

Even though I’m sad, I go back to learning swordsmanship.

If you do it, do it.
