episode_0237

I was idly watching Sayun and Chaeryeon playing in the water near Cheongho, with a pipe in my mouth, when Geomseong trudged over and squatted down next to me.

“Is it difficult?”

“Haha. Is it really this hard?”

I just watch because it looks nice. Geomseong glanced at me and gently leaned in.

“I don’t think this is too bad. It would have been better if we came alone.”

“For something like that, you seem to be playing really well…”

I remembered Geomseong playing with Sayun and Chaeryeon earlier.

The moment she went into Cheongho Lake to play in the water and waved her hand, a huge wave was created.

Sayoon and Chaeryeon, who were caught up in it, fell into the water, and when they laughed and asked for one more try, Geomseong was happy and made waves.

“ugh. That is.”

With a red face, Geomsung crossed the index fingers of both hands.

“Because the kids like it…”

“Do you like children?”

“I like it a lot.”

“You will be a good mother.”

Geomseong, who was tilting his head, looked at me in surprise, and his face gradually turned red. Geomseong, who was breathing heavily, was about to open his mouth.

“Oh?!”

A shout was heard from behind. I looked there and I was surprised too.

It was a pair of man and woman and an old warrior.

“Aren’t you Namgung Sojeo? And each small cooperative.”

These are Namgung-hwa and Gak Hwi-jun, who earned the nickname Shinjusageol and liked them. And the old man behind him… I don’t know.

They also seemed quite surprised to see me.

“It’s been a while! Guest owner!”

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

“That’s right. Looks like you guys are doing well too. My spirit is clear.”

“Ehehe. But what are you doing here?”

“I came here to see you briefly. I’m more curious about you being here.”

“I have an appointment. I decided to have lunch with the owner of Cheonggajang Cho Mi-seong. And this is Mr. Kyu Jang-ho, the head of Cheonggajang.”

The well-dressed old warrior handed me his hand and spoke calmly.

“Cho Mi-seong is said to be the Kano of Cheongjiajang and Kyu-Jang-ho.”

“Nice to meet you. It’s June. It’s a shame, but I have the nickname of Shinsan Seonja.”

“And… uh.”

Namgunghwa, who was happy to see me, stiffened. I think it was only then that I realized who the person next to me was.

“Uuuh?!”

“Why… gasp!!”

My eyes are going to pop out. Namgung-hwa and Gak Hwi-jun, who saw Geomseong sitting next to me, quickly wrapped their arms around me and bowed.

“Well, meet the Sword Saint!”

“See you, Sword Saint!”

Geomseong greeted the two very nervous juniors and gave them a hug without any hesitation.

And Kyu Jang-ho, who was even more surprised than those two, had his mouth wide open.

“Geomseong… see you, see you.”

“Don’t be too nervous.”

“Ah… Yes.”

It’s okay for me because I’m used to it, but for most martial people, the position of Geomseong is literally a position in the sky and an object of admiration.

Even if you tell yourself not to be nervous, you can’t help but be nervous.

“By the way, if you haven’t had lunch yet, would you like to join us?”

Namgung-hwa said while observing Geomseong’s gaze, and Kyu Jang-ho quickly nodded.

“I’m sure the owner will be happy. Please do not feel burdened.”

“Owner?”

“Ah. Our appointment today was to have lunch with the owner of Cheongjiajang, Cho Mi-seong… so we decided to eat at Hongcheonru.”

Hongcheonru.

When the sun sets, Cheongho Lake looks like a red sky, and it is also said to be a superb view.

I heard that it was named Hongcheonru because it was a place where you could see the scene clearly.

“Hmm…”

“Please do not refuse.”

I have to eat anyway. Inviting like this wasn’t really a problem.

I thought for a moment and nodded.

“I have company and I would like to hear your story.”

Namgung-hwa, Gak Hwi-jun, and Kyu Jang-ho bow politely and step back. As I was watching it, I asked the Sword Saint sitting next to me.

“What do you think?”

“Umm… If it was just the two of us, I would have told you not to disturb us…”

Not only that, but it was already getting close to lunch time.

Since we had to eat anyway, Geomseong nodded with an expression that suggested it would be okay if we could just eat together.

“Cheonggajang is a famous family in Chomi-seong and belongs to a political faction, so they will not do anything unnecessary.”

“I see. Then let’s go.”

I waved at Sayun and Chaeryeon who were looking this way. Two people who were playing in the water together come out of the water.

As the two of them, who had blown away the moisture from their bodies with internal energy as shown before, approached me with soft faces, I told them what I had said earlier.

“I don’t mean to invite you without permission, so I guess it’s okay. It is not particularly rare to meet and invite celebrities in this way.”

“Aren’t they bad people?”

“Because I know the owner there. I’m not the type of person that should be a problem.”

“I see…”

“Then let’s go.”

There were many people who wanted to go into Hongcheonru, probably because it was a fairly famous place in Cheongho.

The 4th floor was especially popular, so there were quite a few people trying to go up to it, and the person who appeared to be the owner of Hongcheonru kept bowing his head and apologizing.

“No, why did they block the 4th floor?!”

“All seats on the 4th floor are currently reserved. I’m really sorry.”

“Huh! That’s a lot of money! Ah! Go somewhere else!”

“I guess Chief Cheong has a lot of money.”

It would cost a lot of money to rent not just one space, but the entire floor.

“Our company, Cheongjiajang, owns high-quality copper mines and iron mines and also operates a Cheongmi refinery.”

I could feel a sense of pride from Kyu Jang-ho. I’m sure you have that much money if you own two mines and run an upper level.

When I went up to the 4th floor, there was only one person sitting in the spacious seat. A narrow-eyed woman of Hongryeon’s age, with a good-looking smile, who was admiring the scenery of Cheongho, felt that she was popular and stood up.

“Welcome. Hwa, Hwijun… Huh? That person…”

“Nice to meet you. It’s called June.”

“June… Seonja Shinsan?! wow. I never thought I would meet the person of rumors like this! Nice to meet you! This is Cheong Hee-yeon, the owner of Cheonggajang. It is an honor to meet you like this. And… Ryeon. It’s been a while?”

“Yes. It’s been a while. Sister.”

“And this person…”

“This is Hong Seong-moon’s Sayun! Nice to meet you.”

“Hong Seong-Inquiry! I heard a lot of stories. You are a person whose skills are improving rapidly recently, right? Defeat even the one-eyed dragon.”

“Hehe… Because senior Myojae watched it.”

“And…”

Cheong Hee-yeon tilted her head. She closed her mouth as if thinking for a moment, then flinched and began to break out into a cold sweat.

“Uh. eww. That, no way.”

“You seem to recognize me. but. I’ve been to Cheongjiajang a few times before. How is Jangju?”

Cheong Hee-yeon quickly straightened up and bowed her head.

” Cheong Hee-yeon, owner of Cheong Family House… meets Geomsung.”

“Hmm. Nice to meet you.”

When an awkward silence settled on the 4th floor for a moment, I clapped lightly to brighten the mood.

“Anyway, thank you for inviting me. Actually, I was wondering where to get lunch, but it turned out well.”

“Oh, no. I am even more thankful that Geomseong, Seonja Shinsan, and Sayun Yeohyeop came.”

You have insight. Cheong Hee-yeon knew that I was trying to change the intimidating atmosphere focused on the Sword Saint, so she immediately received my words.

“I played so much earlier that I’m hungry. Sister Heeyeon. What are you going to buy us?”

Chae-ryeon smiles brightly and speaks in a light tone. Cheong Hee-yeon breathed a sigh of relief toward her.

“Whatever you want to eat, eat it.”

“Hehe. Yuna. Then we…”

As Chae-ryeon, who naturally took Sayun to her seat and sat down, started talking about various things she could recommend, I gently grabbed Geom-seong’s arm.

“Let’s sit down too.”

“Um.”

Me, Geomseong, Chaeryeon, and Sayun centered around a large table.

And Cheong Hee-yeon, Nam Gung-hwa, and Gak Hwi-jun sat on the other side.

While Chae-ryeon was smiling and choosing the dishes to order with Sayun and Geomseong, I asked Namgung-hwa and Gak Hwi-jun.

“But where are the other two?”

“Ah. They are. They said they were getting married.”

“Marriage…?”

“Yes. We started bickering and I don’t know when that happened…”

“I never thought that friend would leave like that…”

If anyone heard it, they would think I had gone to the afterlife.

When Gak Hwi-jun spoke with a deep sigh, Namgung-hwa shook her head.

“I did something that I had to take responsibility for…”

“Do you seem to be pregnant?”

“Ahaha. yes. Hee-mi suddenly became pregnant. I’m currently going to Mark for my wedding.”

So, is Shinjusageol disbanded?

Actually, if a woman is pregnant and the two love each other, it would be better to get married right away.

It’s not strange for colleagues to go their separate ways like this.

“Still, I’m glad you’re a person who knows how to take responsibility.”

“Though Cheolpi is a bit simple, he is not a bad guy. Rather, the guest owner… no. Seonja Shinsan is.”

“Just call me comfortably.”

“Haha. thank you Gaekjanju is also known in the West. I was quite surprised.”

Among the families and clans in the west, there were some who sent letters to me.

Of course, nearly half of them were about dealing with the monsters that abound in the West, but sometimes there were letters asking people to find their families when they came to the West.

“Our family also sent it before.”

“Hmm. exactly. The owner of Cheongjiajang personally sent it to me. That was definitely the way to deal with stone centipedes, right?”

“Yes. It was a dangerous monster that appeared in a mine owned by our family. I almost got into big trouble.”

“Haha. That’s a good thing.”

“By the way, I didn’t know that Seonja Shinsan left Seomhwachon and lived in Cheongho. And…”

She turned her eyes to the Sword Saint and smiled brightly.

“I never imagined that I would meet two people who get along so well together like this. Thank you for coming…”

“…What?”

“Hic, yes? Yeah…?”

Her shoulders flinched at the voice of the Sword Saint.

“Two, you two… look good together…”

“Huhuhuhuhu…. The owner of Cheongjiajang has good eyes.”

Cheong Hee-yeon smiled stiffly at Geomseong, who seemed quite proud.

“But why did Shinju Sageol go to the western part?”

“Ah. That’s it.”

I asked Namgung-hwa, who was looking at my favorite Geomseong so proudly that I could hear him next to me. In any case, you can’t just stay quiet, right?

Namgung-hwa thought about my question for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“What. It doesn’t matter. It was because of the news that there were traces of the Heavenly Demon.”

“So? Did you find it?”

“No. But I got one interesting thing.”

“Interesting?”

“Yes. Neither torn nor burned. It’s a piece of paper that doesn’t change even when you pour water on it. I was going to visit the owner of the house to find out what this was.”

Gak Hwi-jun held out a small piece of paper from his arms, and I smiled bitterly as I took it and read it.

“What is that?”

What was written on the paper was a kind of design. Geomseong was puzzled, and while Chae-ryeon and Sayun were looking at it with interest, I put down the design.

“It’s no big deal. It’s just a strange material. Can I take it and study it?”

“Of course.”

I thought as I put the paper they gave me in my arms.

this.

This is the starting item for an event to find the remaining half of the Heavenly Demon God.
