“Go right away. Now, the training ground is just around the corner.”

“ah. wait a minute. I’ll stop by somewhere.”

I got lost and met Kim Sarang’s mother by chance and became close friends with her.

So, Eunha decided to play with Kim Sarang.

“The destination is right in front of you, where are you going?”

“I’m going to learn a little bit of swordsmanship… I’ll be back soon.”

It was a little while before Eunha headed to the ‘indoor training hall’ with guild leader Kim Ha-yang.

She started preparing to have a little more fun with the friendless sword demon.

[Changcheon Swordsman] Although the guild leader’s only daughter was a stone-headed person who was eaten by the martial arts concept,

His swordsmanship skills, which cut down an ‘artificial monster’ with a single sword during the D-class promotion test in July, can be called top-notch.

In order for the soft-fisted Eunha, who had no means to strengthen her body, to be able to meet swords satisfactorily, she literally had to borrow a cat’s hand.

And the hand that Eunha will borrow will be the hand of a monster.

Although the invisible mite is cackling and laughing under the skirt of my uniform, if I’m going to do it, I want to be sure.

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

2. Know the sorrow of being a left-handed prosecutor.

– The darkest room in Mirinae Dojo.

– The left-handed swordsman stands in front of his lord again today.

​

– Although the body is without a right hand or a head, there are plenty of things that can replace it.

– There will be nothing lacking to protect the lord.

​

​

2-1. If you want to learn martial arts, find a left-handed swordsman.

– He is a good teacher to anyone.

​

– However, there must be moderation in everything.

– Like the wisdom of the fading twilight. Anything in excess can be poisonous.

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

“Hmm?…… Well, I understand. Then I wait here. When I’m with my love, I keep wanting to hug her.”

Like that, Eunha parted ways with guild leader Kim Ha-yang and went back down the path she had taken.

The destination is [Mirinae Dojo].

It doesn’t matter where you go.

Trudging. Trudging.

The guild office building prepared by guild leader Kim Ha-yang for Kim Sa-rang, who is into martial arts.

I walk through a wooden hallway that feels solid because it was built only a few years ago.

Trudging. Trap…

How many steps did you walk while dragging your suitcase?

Trudging. Trudging… Creaking.

Quite different from just now,

The hallway, bent and cracked by countless footsteps, creaks under Eunha’s feet.

“… … Phew. I never thought I would come right back. Rather good. In the end, I only watched the spider webs and couldn’t even talk to the monster. I need to make sure that [black person]’s request is made so that I can confidently file a complaint next time.”

Dark hallway. A gloomy road with no end in sight.

Eunha returned to [Miriena Dojo] and walked away with a warm smile.

Head to the darkest room here.

If you walk, you will reach it. Strangers who are anxious to express their resentment will not avoid her visit.

‘Still, like when I learned ‘Mana’ from the wise old man in the park… I wonder if I can become a little stronger.’

『Kyaarrr~! sister. Are you here again? All the babies are hiding!』

“Yes, yes. Okay, so why don’t you come out of your skirt? My legs are starting to feel heavy.”

“lol! They say you’re weak~! Poor, poor!』

Uddada! To the sound of transparent footsteps running through the hallway,

Eunha headed to the room where the ‘Headless Warrior’ was.

… … .

… … .

“Phew, I finally found it. Hello?”

『… … .』

How many minutes have passed?

Eunha, who was moving around while checking each and every ‘cobweb’ hanging down the hallway, opened the sliding door located at the end of the long hallway and came inside.

“It’s really dark, aren’t you bored?”

『… … .』

“You can’t speak because you have no brains… idiot. A person with an empty head.”

『… … .』

“Because it has no hair, it’s just bald…”

『Maw.』

“Sorry.”

You know how to talk.

He was just a quiet person.

As an apology, Eunha took out a bag of salt from her carrier and sprinkled it on ‘that’.

It came surprisingly easily.

Since this was my second visit today, I had some time to look around, and I was able to discover that the brightness of the lights lighting up the hallways were all different.

By slowly moving in the direction where the shadows became darker, I was able to reach my destination more easily than if I had wandered around the guild building with Kim Ha-yang.

‘I never thought that what I learned the most from [Changcheon Swordsman] was how to find the way… That probably means that [Changcheon Swordsmen] serve as a guide for hunters.’

Good idea.

Then, a good heart comes to Eunha, and she struggles to drive away the fear settling on her shoulders.

Eunha, relying on the faint candlelight that illuminated the narrow room, entered the room where ‘that’ was sitting.

… … .

… … .

Sreung…

It was a warrior wearing armor.

『… … .』

narrow room. A single candle dimly lights up the surroundings.

On the other side of the sliding door that Eunha entered, a ‘one-armed warrior’ without his right hand and head is sitting leaning against the wall.

The armor, broken and dented here and there, was covered in blood flowing from ‘inside’.

The rough blade that ‘that’ was holding in its left hand had been cleaned as if it were new.

『… … .』

Sigh…

And, in the middle of the room.

Next to the melting candle,

A sword for the ‘visitor’,

The ‘right hand’, dripping with blood, was held up like a trophy.

The ‘right hand’ with blood dripping from the cut section.

It has five fingers spread wide open.

Sigh…

Soon Eunha took one step into the room, and the [One-Armed Warrior], who had been sitting still, slowly stood up.

He aimed the crude blade he held in his left hand at her.

Except for the fact that it had no head, ‘that’ was about the same height as Eunha.

『… … .』

There were no words.

In the first place, this is a space to share swords with each other.

Even if the [One-Armed Warrior] had a head, he would have raised his weapon without saying a word like he does now.

“… ah. Just a moment.”

Sweet.

Seeing ‘that’ ready, Eunha also opened her suitcase and took out some extra clothes.

just in case. Outside the room, avoiding the eyes of the [One-Armed Warrior], she takes off her black uniform and puts on her familiar box tee.

Eunha changed her clothes and came into the room.

… … .

learn the sword

To play with Kim Sarang.

… … Why would you do this to Kim Sarang, whom you have only met a few times…

Even Eunha doesn’t know that.

『Kyaarrr~! sister! Let’s finish it quickly and go play! With that kid!』

Just because I’m hoping.

The resentment accumulated in the transparent heart of a lonely child has found another lonely child.

Probably because I couldn’t get past it.

『Let’s make sure you don’t feel lonely. Let’s play.』

resentment.

It’s not a malicious intent to saw someone into pieces or turn them into chicken salad.

The transparent resentment of wanting to play without resentment is driving the current galaxy.

『… … .』

“I will learn a lot.”

Sreung…

I picked up the sword lying on the floor.

… … .

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

Right hand on the floor.

Five fingers spread wide.

Kagak-! Kaang!

swing the sword

Eunha, who used ‘Body Strengthening’, strikes away the sword of the [One-Armed Warrior] and steps back.

When Eunha, frowning, swung her sword at the severed neck of the [One-Armed Warrior], ‘that’ lightly twisted its body and blocked the sharp tip of the sword with its dented pauldron.

Rattling….

Hands shaking from trauma. But I held the sword with all my might.

The thought that if you make a mistake you will get stabbed and die unexpectedly makes you swing the sword.

After all, shock therapy is the best.

Eunha felt as if her mind was floating in the air as she looked down at her body moving of its own accord.

Kagagak!

Fingers folded.

Right hand on the floor. Four fingers spread out.

‘That’ swings a sword. From top to bottom.

Eunha’s sword, raised with all its might, blocks the blade again.

‘Isn’t it like this…? A little further, to the left.’

Strangely enough, the power of the [One-Armed Warrior] and the galaxy were the same.

The speed at which you swing your sword, your stride, and even every little habit.

One other thing.

A slightly more advanced sword technique than Eunha’s sloppy sword skills.

Kagagak!

My fingers fold again.

A severed right hand, three fingers spread out.

The movements of the [One-Armed Warrior] were sloppy.

So much so that Eunha could follow suit.

Therefore, the galaxy imitated the movement of ‘that’,

The more she does this, the sharper the blade she wields becomes.

Then, the [one-armed warrior] also showed slightly better movements and took a step ahead.

Sigh!

Fingers folded.

2 fingers remaining.

The warrior’s sword got stuck in her shoulder, but Eunha smiled.

It is developing.

It’s still embarrassing to call it swordsmanship, but the movements are much more plausible than when I first came here.

I feel that my sloppy movements are gradually being corrected in a more concise and efficient manner.

‘I just thought I wanted to imitate that monster’s actions… but my body moved.’

It feels like riding with training wheels on a bicycle.

It was a good thing I took some time to visit.

After all, should technology be learned from a place with a long history?

This [Miriena Dojo] is like a swordsmanship dojo with hundreds of years of tradition.

Eunha decided to visit this place often in the future and focused on the movement of ‘that’.

‘Just a little more… just a little more…’

Kaang!

Improved swordsmanship.

A [one-armed warrior] who is ahead of the curve just enough for Eunha to follow suit.

My fingers fold again,

The ‘right hand’ is all folded and discolored except for one index finger.

‘ah. This family is good at teaching… I want to teach it to other people too.’

At this level, I wouldn’t be embarrassed to share a sword with Kim Sarang.

So a little more.

Eunha was completely immersed in the teachings of ‘that’ and swung her weapon.

There are many parts to your body movements that need to be corrected.

All you have to do is follow the left-hander in front of you.

Sigh! Cheaeng!

Soon, Eunha began swinging the sword with only her left hand,

Every time our swords clash, we feel ourselves improving.

little bit more.

little bit more.

『… … .』

Sreungㅡ.

And eventually.

All fingers of the ‘right hand’ lying on the floor were folded,

My tightly clenched right hand crumbles like a burning charcoal…

“sister!”

And then, the [Invisible Baby] who was walking around hit Eunha’s thigh.

Startle!

Eunha was crying out in her heart for just a little more.

She came to her senses when a gentle hand slapped her thigh.

Then, what you see is a [one-armed warrior] approaching before you know it.

It strode forward, its dented armor creaking, and grabbed Eunha’s right hand.

Suddenly!

The monster holding up a sword as clean as new,

Like harvesting fully ripened fruit.

He cut off Eunha’s right hand with all his might.

Wow!!

Wow. Die.

An eerie sensation right before my eyes.

“Just a moment!”

Eunha let go of her sword in dizzying pain.

She threw herself towards the wide open doorway.

My severed right hand hurts.

Is this how a lizard feels when it cuts off its tail and runs away from a predator?

Shoot!!

Immediately after, the blade was aimed at her neck.

A few strands of hair passed by.

… … .

Quadang!

“Haa…! Haa…!”

The right hand was cut off to the elbow area.

Eunha held onto her neck, spitting out blood along with dizzying pain.

‘My neck… Is my blood donation carotid artery okay?’

Fortunately, you are doing well.

All of the soft cervical bones are safe.

Eunha let out a heavy breath.

“Haa…… Phew! I lived!”

『Karrr~!』

“Wow, my daughter. I really love you.”

Jwaap.

I felt around with my remaining left hand, hugged the [invisible baby] who was cuddling next to me, and sucked on its soft cheek.

Okay. It’s okay because I lived.

But would he die if his head was cut off?

I almost got into trouble because I was drunk on my own remarkable progress, but

Thanks to our invisible mites, I was able to escape with my limbs intact… no, my limbs were slightly intact.

『… … .』

Around the time when Eunha was comforting her pounding heart while loving [the invisible baby].

The [One-Armed Warrior] turned around, his left hand holding the sword hanging limply.

He sits down on the other side of the doorway and leans his back against the wall like he did when Eunha first found him.

Cheolpukㅡ.

Candlelight dimly lights up a narrow room.

Next to it, the ‘right hand’ of the galaxy that was just cut off,

He is waiting for the ‘next person’ with his five fingers wide open.

… … .

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

“… … Ryeo… Eunha!”

『Huh? yes?”

“What are you thinking so much about?”

Kim Sarang’s words.

Eunha, who was startled by her question to wake up her sinking spirit, looked around.

‘Indoor training hall’.

In front of me is Kim Sa-rang, who looks nervous, and guild leader Kim Ha-yang with her eyes closed.

Next to them, scouts Kang Na-ri and Jeong So-ra can be seen quietly watching the situation.

Eunha scratched her cheek sheepishly and adjusted the ‘leather choker’ around her neck.

『Ah… just a scary memory came to mind.』

“I am most afraid of you right now.”

And, Kim Sarang-eun, a swordsman who faces such a galaxy.

As soon as I return to the training ground, I feel puzzled by Eunha’s attitude as she suggests having a ‘sword fight’.

(Since we just practiced swordsmanship… let’s have a sword fight.)

A sword fight.

With the person who taught him swordsmanship?

Kim Sarang, who had fully observed Eunha’s pitiful strength and trivial movements, did not understand what she was saying.

(Eunha Doryeo (道侶). Would you like to learn how to use a sword from me?)

just. I wanted to show it to others.

Inviting Eunha to [Changcheon Geomga].

He says he has friends too. I know this pretty person.

I wanted to tell my mother and the people at the guild who thought I had no friends.

And to Eunha…

[Changcheongeomga] is such a cool place,

He said he was this kind of person.

I just wanted to show you.

Flash. Flash.

The lights blink.

The lights that illuminated the wide training hall lost their light for a moment.

Giggle~!

The darkness passes, and before you know it, Eunha is holding a wooden sword in her left hand and smiling at Kim Sa-rang.

When did you take that wooden sword?

“Knife fighting… Are you okay? If I hurt you…”

“Try it, love.”

“Uh, wow?”

A moment of hesitation.

It was the fingertips of her mother, Kim Ha-yang, who supported Kim Sa-rang.

Guild leader Kim Ha-yang, who touched Kim Sa-rang’s shoulder as if sweeping away something precious, takes two steps back.

Flash. Flash.

The lights blink.

“I asked for it. Ask me to hang out with you.”

“… … .”

“I want to see how wonderful the first person my daughter brings home is.”

Words of encouragement.

It falls like a sweet rain on the fragile heart hidden behind ‘Sword Demon Kim Sarang’.

Kim Sarang made him raise his sword.

Even when I was young,

Even now as time has passed.

The reason she picked up the sword was always because of this ‘sweet rain.’

“… … I will adjust it accordingly, but I apologize in advance.”

Just like that, a friendless invisible person,

I aimed the wooden sword at my new friend.

“me too. I apologize in advance.』

[Invisible Baby] also found a lonely friend,

I picked up a wooden sword to play with my friends.

『For your information, this is an artifact.』

“… … .”

『Anyway, it’s an artifact. Anyway, then.』

“… … ??”

A spacious training hall.

Two people standing facing each other at a distance of about ten steps.

Blink.

And, for a moment, the light blinked,

The moment when Kim Sarang’s vision was covered in darkness.

Blink!

When the light came back again.

Eunha was swinging a wooden sword right in front of Kim Sa-rang.

“… … !”

“head!”

Sigh!

The sound of solid objects hitting each other.

Kim Sarang, who was hit on the top of her head in an instant, hurriedly swung her wooden sword.

Not towards Eunha’s body, but towards the wooden sword she holds in her ‘left hand’.

bang!

Kim Sarang, who was so surprised that she even used ‘body enhancement’, struck away the wooden sword.

Eunha’s palm was torn by the strong impact and the wooden sword flew into the sky.

‘what? There was no sound of it approaching… Could it be that it was a strange transformation?’

Blink.

The lights blink.

Kim Sarang’s gaze misses Eunha.

Giggle~!

The light returned, and Eunha held the wooden sword that had flown away in her ‘left hand’ again and swung it with all her might.

Boom!

This time, Kim Sarang calmly took a step back.

She looks at the woman in front of her, sweating as the wooden sword grazed her forehead.

The top of my head where I was hit for the first time.

Eunha’s muscles are weak, so it doesn’t hurt that much.

I just don’t understand.

“The sword that flew away is back in my hand… I never thought I could even use it as an empty object…!”

『What is that?』

Blink.

The light blinks.

Sigh!

Eunha hits Kim Sarang on the top of her head from behind.

『Kkalkkal!』

“… … Oh.”

Eunha swings a wooden sword with a bright smile, like children playing around.

Kim Sarang kept her mouth shut as she listened to her mother, Ha-yang Kim’s admiration coming from afar.

Unpredictable movements are a problem, but the galaxy’s sword is sharper than you think.

It wouldn’t have been like this when I taught her basic swordsmanship just now…

What happened after I went out for some fresh air?

‘No, or… Is it true that I had a hidden talent for teaching others…? omg! It must be true!’

Hidden talent.

I didn’t know because I didn’t have any friends during that time.

Kim Sa-Rang admired Eunha’s movements, which had changed beyond recognition, and fell into great self-reflection.

Taaah!

Meanwhile, Eunha’s wooden sword flies in like a ghost, hits her head, and runs away.

As if he were invisible, he hit the top of his head while sighing.

Perfect!

It doesn’t hurt.

But, why?

It doesn’t hurt… but why am I so irritated?

『Kkalkkal!』

Boom!

A swinging blow that turns its body towards the galaxy behind its back.

However, with the flickering of the lights, Eunha moves away and smiles as she gestures to Kim Sa-rang, who has made a mistake.

『Kkalkkal!』

Not a sword sparring, but a sword fight.

For children to play together.

When I inadvertently turned my head, there was Miss Kim, watching with a happy smile as she was being toyed with by Eunha.

“… … is it. Is Eunha Doryeo trying to give enlightenment to me?”

Blink.

shame. The tickling hidden within it.

Hiding those inner thoughts under the flickering lights.

“… … Take the galaxy. Since it’s like this, how about making a bet?”

『What bet?』

“If I can catch and subdue you within 5 minutes, please grant me a wish.”

『Kkalkkal! Why not try it!』

Boom!

There is no more hesitation.

A sword fight, not a sparring match.

Kim Sarang, who lost her restrained posture and ran across the training ground like a child, ran towards Eunha.

Kagak! Sigh!

Eunha’s sword, which is more stable than expected, blocks Kim Sarang’s sword and successfully escapes.

Cry!

Transparent footprints running on the dirt floor of the training ground.

Ta-dak! bang!

So, Kim Sarang-eun, the only daughter of the [Changcheon Swordsman] guild leader,

He put aside the serious name of Sword Demon for a moment and chased after Eunha with a bright smile like a child.

… … .

someone somewhere.

Even though we are out of our minds, we will remain in each other’s memories for a long time.

It is a holiday that relieves children of their loneliness and resentment.

… … .

… … .

“Heo-eok… Heo-eok…! Eunha! When I return, I will touch your breasts! That should be enough!”

“Glitter. Glitter.”

Grumpy!

Meanwhile, at that time.

Ban Harin was wiping the tears of blood flowing from his right eye due to excessive use of his skills, and was running away from the ‘ghost’ chasing him.
