***

As they returned to Hongseongmun, Hongryeon, Chaejin, and Geomseong said nothing.

There was no time to talk about anything else right now.

As they walked in silence, they kept looking at their fingers.

A ring made of jewels that match each person’s hair color.

Someone staring at it laughs, someone blushes, and someone else is happy.

“…hehe.”

A small laugh was heard from Chaejin’s mouth. After all, how long had he waited for this moment?

At this rate, wouldn’t it be okay to call it an engagement?

no. It must be an engagement. And if we go a little further, we can consider it a marriage.

I can’t control the laughter that keeps breaking out.

“Let’s not fight.”

Hongryeon spoke calmly, trying to hide her laughter, and Geomseong and Chaejin agreed. Wasn’t this already agreed upon in advance?

Hongryeon thought that they were the closest people to Yuwol at the moment.

Of course, it will be a matter of competing to see who is closer among them someday.

What mattered was the possibility of others approaching him.

“What. Because we don’t have time to fight among ourselves right now.”

No one could deny that June would be the subject of as many people’s attention as the tiger’s back has wings.

no. Maybe that’s not all.

“Because Yuwol was of great help in helping you reach the level of superhumans. If that becomes known, his value will increase even more.”

Hongryeon and Chaejin.

These new stars have risen to the level of superhumans.

It would be natural for Moorim to focus on them.

Isn’t that so?

Until just last year, these two were just warriors who belonged to the strong axis.

These two were now entering the realm of superhumans.

Anyone who practices martial arts would have been curious.

It’s not unknown that these two are talented warriors, but this growth rate cannot be considered normal.

That’s why we’ll start investigating not only the opening and closing, but also other major families and prestigious political factions.

Maybe even in the Demonic Cult.

And, it will soon become clear that June is at the center.

If so, his value will rise further and the number of people trying to target him will skyrocket.

“That’s right.”

It’s not that I don’t believe in Yuwol’s coolness. He was not drunk, so there was no need to think about making mistakes while drunk.

But is the whole world like that?

Moreover, he is a person with a strong sense of responsibility.

What if someone else does something to Yuwol that he cannot help but be responsible for and forces him to take responsibility?

He might go over there.

So there was no time for these three to keep each other in check, fight, and not pay attention to their surroundings.

“So let’s leave the fight about who is first to him later.”

Although a brief agreement was reached, Hongryeon and Chaejin were still considered romantic partners.

Geomseong spoke seriously, and the two nodded as if the same was true.

“Anyway, you must be worried about how the elder Doje will react?”

“I’m not worried.”

Chaejin smiled brightly.

“Because he said he could solve it.”

He trusts me, so how could I not trust him?

Chaejin put her hand on her chest and smiled brightly, while Geomseong and Hongryeon looked at her and shook their heads.

***

It was the day before I went to Cheongho.

I returned to the office, leaving Yohwan and Ya Joohee in charge of the construction of the guest house that was to be carried out while I was away.

I guess I was quite nervous about going to Munwoljeong. Chaejin couldn’t stay still as she was biting her thumbnail, so I tapped her waist.

“Is there any problem?”

“Ah. no. That’s it.”

“If you’re nervous about having to meet your apprentice, there’s no need to be.”

“Ahaha. I guess so?”

I sat down and Chaejin followed me and sat on the floor. She naturally leaned against my leg and looked up at me.

“But is it just me and Sayun going this time?”

“First of all…”

“First of all?”

“I don’t think those two won’t follow.”

Geomseong and Hongryeon.

Will they obediently watch me and Chaejin go? Not in my opinion.

I smiled at her, picked up the documents, and continued processing my work. It will likely take at least a week, so you should prepare by then.

“It’s a shame. I was wondering if I could go there this time…”

“If there is… a piece of sheep?”

Nod. Chaejin nodded, and I smiled bitterly. The development of the mine, which contains the secret scenery created by Hwajopung and Yinyangseon, has come to an end.

So, I guess I was thinking of stopping by when I come back later, as I can challenge the secret area there.

“Let’s go there together later. It’s not like the secret world is running away.”

“What if someone goes first? No one knows that once you go to a secret area and catch the owner, it will be closed for a long time.”

“To enter that secret area, you have to go through the mine. And that mine is not a place where just anyone can enter. Of course, people who hide their identities can sneak in, but…”

“But?”

“But it won’t be easy.”

Because if you don’t know the secret, you won’t be able to wake up.

I gently stroked Chaejin’s long hair. The beautiful hair that passes between your fingers and flows like water is so nice to touch. As I stroked Chaejin, she gently leaned back against my leg.

Continue stroking. Like a puppy feeling its owner’s touch, Chaejin closed her eyes and let out a pleasant moan.

“Ahh… it’s good.”

“That’s a good thing. Anyway, nothing bad will happen, so don’t worry too much.”

I smiled and said to Chaejin, whose tension was slowly dissipating.

The morning of the day I go to Cheongho.

It was while loading luggage into a carriage borrowed from a coffin.

“Uncle!!”

Sayoon runs towards you with a bright smile.

And Geomseong and Hongryeon were proudly pursuing her without any intention of hiding behind her.

As soon as he saw them, Chaejin said in bewilderment.

“Why are you coming?”

“Hoho. We also need to talk about the exchanges between Hong Seong-moon and Moon Wol-jeong this year.”

“How can you stay still while going on such a dangerous journey?”

…Since when was traveling through Guando dangerous?

No, apart from that, Chaejin can now be said to be a superhuman.

As I looked, Geomseong hesitated and then had tears in his eyes.

“…Don’t you like it?”

and. It’s disgusting.

Isn’t it against the law to cry here?

I shook my head and only then did Geomseong smile brightly.

What can I do with that?

“But is it okay to leave Hongseongmun Gate empty like that?”

“It’s okay. Because there are Ryu Hyeon and Hyeon Hwi. The government office will also come there. Because there is also the Murim League.”

It’s different from when it was an island village. If something goes wrong, the military may move.

Hongryeon responded leisurely, and Chaejin briefly clicked her tongue again.

Geomseong and Hongryeon calmly approached her and spoke in a low tone.

“There is no player striking.”

“Even if you are engaged to him.”

“Ahaha… What did I do?”

Chaejin’s eyes trembled slightly.

Geomseong and Hongryeon scoffed at her.

In times like this, you can see that the real priests get along very well.

“It seems like I’m going on a trip with you after a long time!”

“Well, I haven’t been there even once since last winter.”

“Hehe. yes. I’m happy to see you too.”

I turned my eyes away from the three who were sharing a fierce look. Sayoon was sitting in the carriage, smiling brightly, and I nodded.

“Then everyone, get on.”

I got on the coach seat and the three of them naturally tried to get on next to me and stopped.

We haven’t even left yet, but the tension is overflowing.

“Let’s take turns sitting in the coach seats.”

After listening to what I said, Hongryeon eventually sat next to me. She seemed quite excited and very naturally placed her hand on my thigh.

“……”

“Why?”

Even though she was tilting her head as if she didn’t know anything, there was playfulness and desire in her eyes.

It really looks like a cat.

When you touch him, he makes that kind of expression as if it’s nothing, as if he doesn’t know anything. I clasped the hand that was on my thigh.

“Ah….”

“Isn’t this what you wanted?”

“It’s not… it’s not.”

I looked at her hands. I can see that the ring I put on last time overlaps with the ring on my finger. Hongryeon must have seen this as well, as her face began to heat up like her hair.

“Now. Then let’s go.”

“Ah. yes Shall I drive the carriage?”

“It’s okay.”

Geomseong, Hongryeon, and Chaejin. It is a carriage that goes with Sayun there.

It might be better than being protected by a decent army, but aren’t there some crazy guys who attack the army sometimes?

To prepare for that, it would be better to concentrate.

In that case, my job was to quietly drive the carriage to Cheongho, and that was nothing.

Since it was a trip by highway, there was nothing particularly burdensome. Since my position was a high position, there were no soldiers there to argue for no reason.

No, on the contrary, they even tried to escort me.

Of course, I refused. Because there were so many escorts now.

When you move like that and take a break in the middle, Geomseong appears, and then Hongryeon appears.

And at the end, Sayun appeared.

As we drove the carriage, talking about various things, we saw a familiar city in the distance.

“Ah!”

As Sayun shouted brightly, the window on the side of the carriage opened. The one who stuck his head out from there was the Sword Saint.

“Master, have you ever been to Cheongho?”

“Yes.”

“Wow! What happened?”

“To fight with the Doge… Hehe. Maybe we’ll fight again this time.”

If the disciple says, ‘I forgive, but will my strength forgive?!’ Is it something like, “I won’t allow the marriage, and if he gets angry and tries to attack me, I will definitely stop him?”

It’s really reliable, but…

“There is no need to fight.”

okay.

You shouldn’t fight.
