Chapter Index

    Little information about the Sword Saint could be found in Heavenly Moon. That’s because people avoided mentioning Sword Saint in most storylines after Hongseongsan ran wild and Hongseongmun disappeared.

    Sometimes, whenever a big crisis comes, I say, ‘If only I had a sword star…’ or something like that. ‘If Hong Seong-moon had been fine…’ There were people who missed their power in this way.

    The fact that Doje, Moonwoljeong, and even Namgungcheon reacted this way meant that Geomseong had done something big when he was traveling to Wulin in the past.

    Actually, I thought about contacting Hao Wen to find out, but since he’s the person I’m going to be with now, it’s a bit weird to do a background check, so I didn’t do any research on purpose…

    I feel like I’m going to cry if I dig up this carelessly.

    I walked the streets of Seomhwaseong with Geomseong.

    Is it because of what you said to me earlier? She kept glancing at me, checking my eyes.

    “Would you like a cup of tea?”

    Daru, which did not exist when it was an island village, was created.

    Although they sell tea at my guesthouse, they still don’t treat tea as well as Daru, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go here.

    “Welcome.”

    A neatly dressed middle-aged man greeted us and was startled. Me and Sword Saint. It was understandable to be nervous as the most important people from Island Hwaseong, along with the castle lord, had arrived.

    “Don’t worry too much. I just came here to drink tea.”

    “Oh, no, Geomseong and Seonja Shinsan have come… Please eat inside for now.”

    At best, he set up a business in Seomhwaseong, but did he even think that if he made a mistake, it could be ruined?

    The owner of Daru hurriedly guided us inside. He guided us to a warm, sunny spot on the second floor and asked politely.

    “What would you like?”

    “I don’t know much about cars, so I’d like you to order it for me.”

    “Do you have a white tiger needle?”

    Baekhochim is a tea that also appears in Cheonsangmyeongwol. This is a fairly rare car that is sold for a fortune in one pocket.

    It was difficult to handle, so unless you were in a big city, there was no one who could handle it properly…

    When I went to the north, I couldn’t forget the taste, so there was even an event asking people to get white tiger needles.

    “Yes. Yes.”

    Relief appears on the middle-aged man’s face. Are you confident?

    I smiled at him and ordered refreshments and two glasses of Baekhochim.

    And how long has it been?

    A kettle and a glass filled with white tiger needles were placed where we were.

    Next to it is a small hourglass. Pointing to it, the owner said seriously

    “Please eat this when the hourglass runs out. And the refreshments are Seonggungwa and Five-Hyang Nuts. Seonggungwa is a confectionery made by ripening fruit in sugar to increase its sweetness, mixing it with honey and other ingredients, and baking it. And each piece of the five-spice nut has five scents. The first one is…”

    Geomsung, who was listening to his explanation, saw the five-hyang nut and his eyes sparkled. Why on earth do they make such facial expressions when they are so fond of snacks?

    “Then I hope you have a good time.”

    As he bowed politely and stepped back, Geomseong slightly cut the five-spice nut with a small knife made of bamboo. As soon as he puts it in his mouth, the swordsman’s expression noticeably brightens.

    “This is delicious!”

    Then he took the cut piece and handed it to me.

    “…Ah.”

    Geomseong, who realized what he had done, was startled. Isn’t this feeding?

    However, even though she was embarrassed, she seemed to have no intention of taking it back, so she trembled and held it out, and I took it and ate it.

    “Hya…”

    “It’s delicious.”

    “Well, I see. And over there.”

    Geomseong, who was visibly happy and didn’t know what to do, saw the Seonggungwa placed in front of me. Then gently close your eyes and open your mouth.

    They’re just asking me to feed them. I cut the Seonggungwa and put it in her mouth.

    “Ummmm~!”

    I guess I felt good. Seeing her smiling brightly, I also took a bite of the Seonggungwa. Freshness and sweetness that spreads throughout your mouth. And the taste melts in an instant.

    This is really good.

    “It’s really delicious. I’ve never eaten something like this even when I went to the imperial palace…”

    “Well, research on these snacks is ongoing.”

    It was something unimaginable in the bright moon of heaven. It’s a natural thing. After Hongseongsan went wild, the empire fell into chaos.

    Bandits and monsters appear from all over, people take refuge from danger, and food becomes scarce.

    It’s hard to make a living right now, so why would you do something like research into snacks?

    “Hehehe…”

    Geomseong smiled happily as he cut and ate small pieces of the five-scented nut and the holy gun fruit. Then he takes a sip of Baekhochim and lets out a small sigh.

    “Delicious…”

    “That’s a good thing. I’ll come back often.”

    “That’s good. I really want you to come with me. Hehe… Um.”

    Geomseong took another sip of tea, sighed, straightened his posture, and looked at me.

    When I was puzzled by that clean gaze, Geomseong gently lowered his head.

    “Thank you.”

    “…What suddenly?”

    “Just. I wanted to say this at least once. Especially if you revealed that you are ‘Mister’.”

    “Ah.”

    “I know that something will happen in the world when Hongseongsan’s spiritual energy runs wild. No, if you are a long-time writer of Hong Seong-moon, this is something you must know.”

    “I see.”

    “It was the letter you sent that could have prevented that.”

    “Haha…”

    A letter I sent to Hongseongmun.

    If Hongseongmun had not been sent to prepare for an attack by the Iron Blood Emperor, would Hongseongmun have gone by like a bright moon?

    Probably so.

    At that time, there was nothing more precious to her than her students.

    “If you hadn’t reached out your hand, Hong Seong-moon wouldn’t have existed… and there wouldn’t have been this peace. And you’ve never tasted anything this delicious…”

    She looked up at me slightly and smiled.

    “You never knew that I would be this happy with you.”

    “You praise me so much.”

    “Mmm. You can praise me even more. no. Yes.”

    You’re so serious that I’m embarrassed. Geomseong smiled at me and I sipped my tea without saying anything.

    “Ummmm~. It’s really delicious. The snacks sold at the inn are good, but the snacks from Daru are also good. Do you have any intention of linking up with this Daru?”

    “I’m going to think about it since I have good skills.”

    Something like giving coupons to people staying at the guest house.

    Or, you can have it delivered to your guest house.

    I’ll have to talk about this later.

    “But… why did the Lightning Sword King come?”

    “I said I would come visit you once before. About Namgung-hwa’s work and Namgung Seong-yul’s work.”

    “I see. Be careful. Because he has quite the snobbish side.”

    I know that too.

    “But what did you do in the past to make everyone react like that?”

    “Uh, huh?!”

    She was embarrassed and looked at me blankly.

    “Doge is like that, and Thunder Blade King is like that. Everyone reacted that way…”

    “Please don’t ask… In the past, I was a bit hot-headed… Well, and back then, I was also very impatient…”

    “Ah.”

    “Well, I think I killed a lot of people carelessly, but the number of people I killed wasn’t that many. They just died…?”

    “……”

    What kind of Batman-style killing method is this?

    “No, I’m just kidding. Ahaha…”

    I smiled at her as she watched me, worried that she might hate me or be afraid of me.

    Then he stroked her head and spoke as kindly as possible.

    “Na Yerin. No matter what you do, I will never hate you. I also don’t think you would have used your power without reason.”

    “…Really? Good luck then. Hehe.”

    Only then did Geomseong smile brightly again, as if relieved.

    After drinking tea at Daru, I walked around the market. We checked out the new facilities, looked at the pharmacy, and also checked out the treatment center.

    In addition, there were academies for children and workshops to create new equipment were added.

    “To see Island Village develop like this… If Master were alive, he would have been very happy…”

    Come to think of it, her teacher wanted Seomhwachon to be big. I patted Geomseong, who was slightly depressed. By the time I arrived at the guesthouse, walking with Geomseong, who was gently leaning towards me, the lunch business had ended.

    “Where has the Thunderbolt King gone?”

    Yohwan, who had been resting after coming out, stood up.

    “I just went into the hot springs. He was sitting here waiting so I sent him.”

    “Good job.”

    “Anyway, did you eat?”

    I bought some snacks on the way back and forth, but I didn’t eat them properly. She smiled at me and Geomseong, then went inside and cooked Geomseong’s favorite dishes and brought them out.

    “I will eat well.”

    “Well, with this much. ah. And have you been to the Daru that appeared in front of you? The snacks there were pretty delicious. How about partnering up?”

    “I still think so. The tea and snacks were delicious.”

    “I guess so. Because the owner there is someone I know.”

    “Huh? Is that so?”

    “We used to work together in the imperial family.”

    I thought it was definitely not normal. It went really well.

    “Are we not on good terms with you?”

    “There’s nothing particularly bad going on between Suksu and Dagwan, right? why. Let me talk to you?”

    “Can you do that?”

    “Of course.”

    Yohwan, who spoke indifferently, went inside. Geomseong smiled as he watched her walk away.

    “I think this is benevolence. Only good people always gather around you.”

    “I just got lucky.”

    “Including me.”

    I nodded my head while looking at the proud Sword Saint, and she looked embarrassed.

    If that’s going to happen, it’s better not to say anything.

    “Keuhum. Anyway… How about meeting the Thunderbolt King soon?”

    “I’m enjoying the hot springs now, so I’ll meet you when it’s over.”

    “Hmm. Then…”

    She took a bite of the dumpling, chewed it, and smiled.

    “Can you give me some time until then?”

    “Of course.”

    Geomseong smiled brightly.

    The Thunder Sword King did not appear until dinner was over. When I asked the servants, they said they were really enjoying the bath.

    “Master. The Thunder Sword King came out of the hot spring.”

    “Really? Are you down there?”

    “Yes.”

    I heard that he came out after the evening business was over and it was a bit quieter. and. I take a long bath too. Looks like it was pulled out very well…

    I went down with her.

    The Sword King, whose face was shining and who seemed to be in a very good mood, spoke as soon as he saw me.

    “Hey~. That steam room. It was good. After warming up, I come out and go into the cold water, then go back into the hot tub, take a rest, take a nap, and then go into the steam room again. Impossible? That’s good too. When I said I was hungry, I was able to order food inside…”

    “Haha…”

    “I wish we had something similar in our family. Are you missing out on a membership?”

    Older people like saunas, right?

    Anyway, I guess I really liked it.

    At this level, there would be no problem with making my guest cup a specialty of Seomhwaseong.
