Chapter Index

    ***

    When I returned from the guesthouse, I couldn’t contain my excitement.

    It was natural. Because I met the man I had been looking for so long.

    ‘You were always by my side.’

    Sayoon bowed his head as he climbed Mt. Hongseong. I met him shortly after receiving my letter from him for the first time.

    I helped Yuwol who was being attacked by someone, and from then on, Yuwol and I.

    I got to know my uncle.

    And I did a lot with him.

    I ate the sweets he gave me, went on a trip with him, and with him…

    In addition to helping herself and Hong Seong-moon with letters, Yu-wol actually did many things for them.

    ‘Ugh…’

    Emotions that I didn’t know what to say were welling up in my heart.

    confusion.

    The confusion created by the truth that the man was June.

    question.

    Questions about why he didn’t reveal himself even though he was next to him.

    pleasure.

    But in the end, I am happy that my uncle was always by my side.

    My head is complicated with indefinable emotions and unorganized thoughts.

    “Sayun. What are you thinking like that?”

    On the way back, he didn’t say a word, just turned his head or laughed. Your face turns red.

    Yuhee asked Sayoon, who looked funny just by looking at her. Sayoon opened his mouth to her and then sighed.

    “Sure…”

    okay.

    What am I thinking right now?

    It’s not organized.

    That’s why I remembered what Yuwol said earlier.

    Organize and think alone.

    Even in these situations, he showed the way as always.

    If he hadn’t given me time, I would have only said random things.

    ‘You too…’

    You always teach me.

    Sayun thought while clenching her fist slightly, and only sighed a little when she saw Geomseong disarming the barrier.

    Treatment for the injured sisters has been completed.

    The sisters talk about how difficult the battle outside Seomhwachon was.

    The sisters share what they learned while fighting numerous monsters.

    The sisters go to the training center saying they need to practice more.

    While they were each doing their own thing, Sayoon visited Hongryeon.

    She was at the Sword Saint’s training ground. And, Geomseong was extending his sword towards her.

    The atmosphere is unusual. Sayoon swallowed his saliva at that moment.

    “Haaap!!”

    I saw the Hongryeon Great Sword chasing the Sword Saint.

    Sayoon couldn’t help but open her eyes wide at that sight.

    That’s right, the sword of Hongryeon contains soft starlight.

    Because it was Ganggi.

    -Chaae Aeng!! Chaeae!! Chaaeaeaeang!!

    The river and the river collide. The air waves created by the collision were destroying various parts of the training ground.

    A battle between superhumans and superhumans.

    Sayoon watched it blankly.

    Unlike Hongryeon, who looks nervous, Geomseong looks quite relaxed.

    – Wow!!

    Hongryeon falls backwards with the sound of leather popping. When Hongryeon, who struggled to get up from her seat, fired strong energy again, Geomseong spoke calmly.

    “You may have mastered powerful techniques, but if you cannot utilize them freely, you cannot be considered a true superhuman. Hongryeon. Get used to it. You have to completely digest the strength as your own.”

    “Ugh!!”

    Those who walked the path before were able to suggest the path to reduce trial and error.

    Geomsung is someone who has been in the realm of superhumans for a long time. He was a person who could greet with a smile someone who was just about to enter the realm of superhumans.

    Moreover, although the other person was a romantic enemy, he was not his own student.

    As a teacher, I could teach these things as much as I wanted.

    “Huuuu…”

    After the bloody leadership sparring using strong techniques, Hongryeon was exhausted. While she sat down and gasped, Geomseong stuck his great sword into the floor and turned his head.

    “Okay. Sayoon. What do you have to say?”

    As the Geomseong’s eyes turned to him, Sayun swallowed his saliva.

    I wondered if he was interfering with his training, but Geomseong soothed the nervous Sayun by saying that this would be enough for today.

    Even so, Geomseong also had something he wanted to ask her.

    What on earth happened that made you cling to Yuwol in the guest room like that?

    I always knew that Sayun respected and followed Yuwol. But I know it wasn’t to that extent.

    According to Yuwol, he was almost killed by the Iron Blood Emperor, but I don’t think that was the only reason…

    Narrowing his eyes, Geomseong looked at Sayun and sipped the tea that Hongryeon brought him.

    “Isn’t it okay to have red lotus?”

    consulting.

    The act of trying to relieve some of the burden in one’s mind and receive teachings from a wise man.

    Geomseong thought of June.

    He received counseling from many people. I don’t know how cool that look was.

    If you like someone, you want to be like them. Geomseong, who also wanted to show such composure and wisdom, cleared his throat and asked lowly.

    “Uh… that’s not it.”

    “Really? So what’s going on?”

    Hongryeon was equally curious. Anyway, Yuwol is the person he likes. I felt a little complicated because Sayoon, who was like my youngest brother, was attached to such a person.

    Sayoon, who was receiving the gaze of the two beauties, hesitated and let out a small sigh.

    “…That… uncle.”

    “Oh my? Did you get a letter from you?”

    Sayun shook her head in response to Hongryeon’s question.

    “…It was the owner of the guesthouse.”

    “……..Huh?”

    Hongryeon tilted her head. What is this sound? Are you saying you are June?

    Geomseong glanced at the puzzled Hongryeon and nodded slightly.

    “I thought so.”

    “?!”

    “Really?!”

    Hongryeon and Sayun looked at Geomseong in surprise. Geomseong could not hide his pride in their gaze.

    “Why are you so surprised? Hehehe. you. You forgot. That this teacher is very wise and can look at the world truthfully. You too should be like me and have the perspective and wisdom to understand the world.”

    Hongryeon and Sayun stared at Geomseong. Geomseong became sullen under their gaze.

    “…Tell me something…”

    “Oh. sorry. You were so confident that I was speechless.”

    Hongryeon, who had barely managed to calm the upset Geomseong, looked at Sayun. Sayoon is always sincere when it comes to ‘uncle’. So it’s not like I’m talking about seeing something strange.

    “How did you know?”

    Sayoon calmly told him what he saw. And, when I asked him, he even said yes.

    While Hongryeon was in a daze, confused, Sayoon spoke carefully.

    “…He said he would tell me if I had any questions…”

    “But?”

    “I don’t know what to say.”

    How do you know so much?

    Why were you hiding your identity?

    why….

    Are you helping me?

    There were so many questions that I felt like I was going to explode.

    So, in order to sort it out, I wanted to get help from Sword Saint and Hongryeon.

    “Hmm… It’s a question. Actually, I have a lot of questions. But don’t forget what’s important. He definitely helped us, and he helped you.”

    “Yes… I also don’t think he did it with malicious intent.”

    “That was enough.”

    “No, I don’t think that’s the end of it… Then Sayoon. How about asking the questions you’re most curious about first? Because usually, things like that are solved with the big things first.”

    “Um….”

    The biggest question…

    So in the end there was only one.

    The reason the man held out his hand.

    That was what I was most curious about.

    “Well, what is it? And while I’m asking, can you please do one more thing?”

    Geomseong smiled, recalling the fact that Yuwol had promised to answer all of Sayun’s questions.

    “So, when are you going to get married? Because… he too is full of soul.”

    “…I’m really curious about that too. So please be sure to ask me.”

    “Yes? uh. Ah… yes.”

    Sayoon had no choice but to nod under the two’s heated gazes.

    “Sa-yoon?”

    “Ah. I’m sorry.”

    Sayun swallowed hard.

    I’ve been thinking about it ever since that day. Why did he help himself? Why did you send the letter?

    and.

    Did he really like the things he sent?

    Sayoon took a deep breath and opened her mouth.

    “Uncle… No, dog, should I call you Guest Master?”

    “Do whatever you feel comfortable with. Whether it’s the uncle, the owner of the house, or Yuwol. Ultimately, it refers to me.”

    “Then over there… Mr….”

    “Yes.”

    Yuwol smiled and nodded, making my heart race.

    I’ve always dreamed of it. The day when you can call ‘Uncle’ as ‘Uncle’.

    My heart kept pounding as I faced the person I had wanted to meet so much and had missed so much.

    Is this what it feels like to actually meet someone you’ve always admired?

    Before Sayun came to Hongseongmun. When I was living as an orphan beggar, I remembered people who were so excited that they met someone they respected and didn’t know what to do.

    At the time, I wondered what that felt like, but now that I’ve experienced it, my hands and feet itch and my head feels confused.

    Even though I prepared so much.

    I can’t stand the feeling of my eyes rolling and my breathing becoming rough.

    Then, something warm touched her head.

    It was a big, rough hand.

    Sayoon swallowed her saliva as she stared blankly at the man who was gently stroking her head and smiling.

    My mind was becoming calm.

    “…Why.”

    “Hmm?”

    “Uncle… why did you extend your hand to me?”

    Sayun looked at him nervously and asked, and Yuwol answered casually.

    “Because I hoped so.”

    “….Yes?”

    “Because I wanted to help you.”

    Sayun opened her eyes wide at those words.

    “That’s the most important thing. Because I wanted to help, and I didn’t want to lead you down the wrong path. Because I didn’t want you to be unhappy.”

    “……”

    “That’s why I sent you a letter and helped you.”

    Yuwol’s eyes did not waver. Sayoon, who was looking blankly at him who seemed to be just telling the truth, lowered her head.

    Yuwol looked at her warmly and added another word.

    “You deserve to be happy.”
