episode_0235

The apprentice, who was looking at me with great pity, asked with concern.

“Have you found any weaknesses?”

“No.”

“Was that little thing threatening?”

“No.”

“…Are you out of your mind?”

“I’m sane enough, but…”

The apprentice’s eyes were full of pity.

But it was only for a moment that he came to his senses and shouted in surprise.

“No, wait a minute. That’s not the problem! Bigamy!”

“Is there a problem?”

“Huh…!! See something shameless?!”

The apprentice who was sighing suddenly opened his eyes and glared at me.

Actually, the apprentice’s reaction was not strange.

Although others complained that Chae Jin was not qualified to be a great disciple, the disciple believed in Chae Jin.

Also, the relationship between the two was not bad in Heavenly Moon. Of course, when Chae-ryeon became qualified and became a great disciple through his own efforts, he changed her without saying anything, but until then, Chae-jin was recognized as a great disciple.

If you think about that, the love and trust that the apprentice has for Chaejin can never be considered low.

At least the reason the apprentice isn’t wielding a sword right now is probably because I’m not some mediocre bastard.

I straightened my posture and looked straight at him.

“If you have the ability, affection is infinite.”

“Your words are nice.”

The apprentice grumbled openly and turned his head as if he didn’t like it. As I was staring at him, I smiled and picked up the bottle.

Then he poured it into the Doge’s empty cup, and then into mine as well.

“What ability is so great that we can be so confident?”

“Well… what do you think the apprentice is capable of?”

“Men are strong.”

“Are you saying that all you have to do is be strong? So what if you are a witch? Even if he is a heinous person? Sapana…”

“No, you man! Where are you getting all that trash…! Huh. Then you should know honor.”

“Do you think the name of Seonja Shinsan is light?”

The apprentice frowned.

“Money…”

“I have a lot of money.”

“…your status is…”

“Currently commissioned. It’s a case study. You can go a little higher if you want.”

Right now, I don’t really care about government positions, so if I decide to do so, I can go higher.

The apprentice looked at me with even more frown.

“No, it’s still bigamy! The reason my daughter is unhappy is…”

“What do you think happiness is?”

“You should live your life doing what you want to do.”

He drank the drink I poured for him in one go and looked at my glass. Are you saying I should drink it too?

I also drank alcohol all at once.

And then pour the alcohol into the glass again.

Second Viscount.

I looked at it as if I was very uncomfortable, but instead of pouring me a drink, the apprentice was waiting for an answer.

“I have already finished talking with Sojeo Chaejin. They say Geomseong and Hongryeon are together, but they said they want to live with me.”

“…You say that to the father who has a daughter?”

“You can’t tell a lie, right?”

“Huh. You are probably the only one who can speak so confidently in front of this apprentice. I liked your boldness, but when I actually deal with you, my stomach explodes.”

“Hahaha.”

He grumbles and starts drinking again. I drank again and poured myself a drink. When I was about to make my third drink, the apprentice, who was becoming restless, took the bottle of liquor from my hand and poured it into my glass.

“Thank you.”

“Geun. But since it’s you now, I wouldn’t have dropped your head. If it were someone else…”

“He must have died. I sincerely thank you for that.”

If I hadn’t been drinking friends with my apprentice, I would have been killed right away anyway.

“…What is it? It’s not like I did something I shouldn’t be responsible for, right?”

It’s something I have to take responsibility for…

“Do you think I have the power to take it by force?”

“…I see.”

It’s not like I can do it with my own strength. It seems like the apprentice also thought that if he had done it, Chaejin would have done it.

“…I guess something happened that I shouldn’t have to take responsibility for?”

“I haven’t been hit yet.”

However, these days, I see that there is more clinging and expressing affection, so this will not last long.

Since human patience is ultimately a wasteful emotion, I wonder how long she will last.

If you don’t solve it properly, the real Chae-jin may cause bloodshed and end up being kidnapped, imprisoned, and imprisoned, so you need to persuade the apprentice here.

The apprentice asked me questions in various directions, and I answered without saying anything.

So the conversation was long, but it didn’t really feel burdensome.

In fact, there was a way to persuade the apprentice at once.

I put my hand in my pocket and grabbed the card inside.

It was the Moonwol badge he had previously received from his apprentice.

A card that can ask for just one thing from Moonwoljeong.

A card that even a superhuman apprentice can handle.

If you use it, it won’t be difficult to get permission to marry Chaejin.

but…

You shouldn’t use this.

This is the time to attack head on.

I took my hand off the card and took a sip of my drink.

After a few moments of drinking without saying anything, the apprentice asked:

“But how did it happen like that?”

“Um…”

In response to the apprentice’s question, I told Chaejin and I what had happened from the time I first met until now.

After listening for a while, he slightly nodded.

“Keuhum. is it? It’s so fateful. By the way, it’s not because she’s my daughter, but isn’t she really nice, has a nice personality, and has a pretty face?”

“That’s right.”

“I don’t think she will stay still when she accepts the marriage proposal.”

“Hahaha…”

There has definitely been an increase in temptation these days.

“But when I see you ignoring it… Is it… a little difficult in the morning?”

Not a daughter thief.

He was just genuinely worried as a man and took out a small pouch from his arms.

“What is it? What is this?”

“It’s a really good medicine for men, but it’s hard to explain it.”

ah. That kind of medicine?

“You don’t have to have it. Even so, I’m really strong…”

“Still, take it.”

The apprentice placed a medicine bag in my hand. There is a pungent smell from the pills in my pocket.

I put it in my arms and drank again with my apprentice.

After several rounds of drinking, the apprentice spoke with a serious expression.

“Ha… I guess I’ll have to think about it.”

“That’s right.”

“But what do you plan to do if I say no? Are you planning to just ignore it and get married?”

Of course, that’s possible, but wouldn’t it be better to have a blessed marriage if possible?

I smiled and shook my head.

“Chaejin has been looked down on by her family for a long time.”

“Keuhm.”

The apprentice seemed to have nothing to say about that part and cleared his throat.

As a father, it would have been better to have properly prevented him… It seems he was very concerned, as he muttered quietly.

“So it was a burden on her heart. And, by reaching the level of superhuman, I was able to eliminate all those gazes.”

But you left Munwoljeong and came to me without the apprentice’s permission?

The criticism pouring down on Chaejin must be as significant as the joyous appearance today.

That will also be a pain for Chaejin.

“No matter how much I like her and she likes me, she is only taking care of her own greed. Do I look like that type of person?”

“That’s not true.”

“So. We need to persuade as much as possible.”

“I’m not saying I’m giving up… What if I don’t move on?”

“I will do this until it is done.”

I looked straight at him and the apprentice burst out laughing.

***

I always think of him as such an amazing person.

I can’t believe I never got distracted while working on a masterpiece with this apprentice.

Actually, I thought it would be like that from the first time I saw it.

His enormous will prevents June from becoming disorganized.

Therefore, I didn’t think that Yuwol would lose his mind due to alcohol or anything like that.

“Ha.”

After the drinking party, I sat alone, smoked a cigarette, and thought to myself.

Shinsan Seonja June.

He is a person whose name is rapidly becoming known in Moorim recently.

Many of the martial arts comrades recognized him, and he also gave them great strength in defeating the evil enemy known as the Iron Blood Order.

Even the government recognizes him.

There…

The apprentice chuckled.

What I liked most about Yuwol was not his amazing knowledge, many assets, or investment or development skills, but that he maintained integrity.

Earlier, I was a little disappointed when I saw that he had his hands in his pockets.

Moonwolpae.

A card that allows you to ask anything from Moonwoljeong.

If I had used it, the apprentice would have given permission, but I would have felt uncomfortable.

But he didn’t write it.

I just calmly persuaded myself.

Asking people to give up their daughters under the pretext of debt is something only apostles do.

No matter how big the opponent in front of you is, isn’t it the best of the best to not give up on your will and to push forward honestly and persuade them logically?

“Ha… I can’t help it.”

Chaejin even said that she liked him, and it didn’t seem like someone who went to that level would make her daughter unhappy.

And it didn’t seem like he would give Chaejin any trouble.

I didn’t think I would be so foolish as not to distribute affection equally.

Concerns should be deep and brief.

He eventually sighed and stood up.

“Then, as the adult of the family… huh?”

It was then.

One flash of light passed through his head.

***

The next morning, the apprentice called me. When I went to his room, not only me but also Chaejin, Geomseong, and Hongryeon were there.

Seeing that Sayun and Chaeryeon aren’t there, I guess they called me because of yesterday’s incident?

“Chaejin.”

“Yes?”

“Do you want to marry Yuwol?”

“Uh. eww. ah. That…”

Chaejin, who was flustered with a red face, nodded. The apprentice, who was staring at her, sighed.

“I see. When it comes to this, I can’t refuse it. But promise me one thing. Even if it means bigamy, I will make my daughter happy.”

“They say that happiness is not something someone gives, but something we create together. But… yes. I will make sure my father-in-law does not have to suffer.”

“I believe that Seonja Shinsan will not tell nonsense. Anyway… then I guess I’ve become the funniest adult in Confucianism.”

Isn’t that right?

First of all, I don’t have any parents either.

When I nodded, he grinned and glanced at Geomseong.

The apprentice laughed even more happily when asked what he was looking at.

“…What is it? That disgusting expression.”

“Uh huh. How can you behave like that towards the elders of your family?”

“….gasp!”

Geomseong, who was looking at him as if asking what nonsense, was shocked. The apprentice spoke leisurely to her.

“You little one. I heard you also decided to stay by my son-in-law’s side. Unlike Jiabi, who is famous, polite, and respected by the public, you are not trying to commit an unspeakably horrible act like ignoring adults, right?”

There was no flaw in his logic. The Sword Saint must have known that as well, as he trembled and spoke helplessly.

“…Doje senior. haha. What do you think…?”

“Puhahaha!!”

In the end, the apprentice laughed out loud and Geomseong became sullen. I held her hand and smiled.

“I hope that the apprentice will also show himself as an adult. Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you’re an adult.”

“Really…”

“Of course, you may be my father-in-law, but if you are a husband, shouldn’t you raise the hand of the person who will be your wife? Of course, if Chae-jin is persecuted, I will support Chae-jin. No matter who the other person is.”

“Queunnng…”

The apprentice eventually slumped his shoulders and spoke to the sword saint.

“Keuhum. I’m just joking so please understand. There’s nothing to be respectful about. I only heard it once, but after hearing it twice, it felt unfamiliar.”

Are you saying it’s enough to make fun of me once? I was very fortunate that my apprentice was someone who could only read the first verse.

But regardless of that, the sword master and apprentice who still seemed to be on bad terms were glaring at each other.

…There’s a long way to go.

Still, I hope that Hong Seong-moon and Moon Wol-jeong can become closer through this.
