I turned to face the big Sayoon looking at me.

There was a sense of disbelief as well as embarrassment, but when her eyes turned to little Sayoon and then back, I could feel the negative emotions in her eyes diminishing significantly.

“…I also want to ask you something.”

“Who am I…?”

You might be curious.

It’s natural. He is a person who knows himself and has gained great trust from another Sayoon.

How could it not be strange that he suddenly appeared there and offered to help him?

“Actually, it doesn’t matter who I am.”

I approached the big Sayoon.

Is it because he hasn’t had anyone by his side for a long time?

The older Sayun was startled and moved slightly to the side to increase the distance.

No, someone would have thought they were sitting very close together. There was definitely enough distance for one person to sit down.

She seemed to have noticed this as well and looked embarrassed, but she did not move back to her previous position.

“…Ah.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

okay. Things like this are probably good. Because that’s not what’s important.

“The important thing is your happiness. Sayoon. Are you happy now?”

Sayoon’s tall shoulders trembled. As the embarrassment on her face staring at me gradually disappeared, she slowly lowered her head. Long gray hair begins to cover the shadowy face.

okay. Sayun clearly defeated the Sanghyeuldan.

Of course, the process would never have been easy. What she did to take down the Iron Blood Order in the Heavenly Moon is amazing. Because it could only be explained in words.

In order to find the iron-blooded beast’s weaknesses, he traveled to secret places to obtain items from the secret areas, found their owners, and trained with those owners.

He accepted the request of Hao-mun and Gae-gye to monitor the Sangvis clan, and in order to create a space where the Sangvis beast was alone, he moved with those who decided to take revenge on the Sangvis clan, eventually arranging a one-on-one confrontation with him and succeeded in killing him.

The process itself was grueling, but those of us who played were also gruesome.

Honestly, it was an undeniable fact that Sayoon was weaker than the other main characters.

However, the difference in performance can be resolved with control, affection, and cash.

In the end, we were able to proceed with the main story by defeating the Iron Blood Beast, one of the Iron Blood Order’s leaders.

If that had been reflected, it would not have been easy for Big Sayun to take revenge.

“Have you ever gone to the Sun Temple to find the weakness of the Iron Blood Beast?”

“……”

There was an event where we learned how to cut water in the secret area of the Sun Temple. The older Sayoon bit his lip tightly, perhaps remembering the hardships and despair he experienced there.

“That effort, that despair, and that anger must have given you strength.”

The older Sayoon closed his eyes tightly and nodded.

“How was the iron blood ban? In order to fight those who came with the new Four Black Lotus, I guess I had to help the Four Black Lotus Lord. He must have listened to the request of the daughter of the Master of the Saheukryun, traveled to secret places, and learned the divine law based on the enlightenment he gained from the ruins.”

“…That’s right.”

There were many more. The things Sayun needs to prepare to fight the Iron Bloods, the things she needs to obtain.

The effort it took to achieve that was really… ugh. Just thinking about it makes my teeth grind.

Why on earth do you think this guy has such a hard feelings…

“So? In the end, the efforts paid off. Because I succeeded in getting revenge. Are you happy now?”

Big Sayun clenched his fists.

“…happy… do you see it?”

“Not at all.”

There is nothing more enjoyable than revenge. That is, if you take revenge thoroughly.

But no one can deny that in the end, there is nothing left at the end.

In any case, Hongseongmun has been destroyed, Hongseongsan Mountain has run away, and the dead Geomseong and Hongseongmun’s other disciples will not come back alive.

In the end, it was an immutable fact that she was alone.

“Then let’s go. You can’t be happy here.”

This is my opinion, our opinion.

This world is a world that thoroughly hates Sayoon.

It would be an exaggeration to say that it was fate, especially if it was based on the scenario of Heavenly Moon.

Then, what reason is there to remain here?

But Big Sayun could not answer.

The reason was immediately apparent.

This was because her eyes were focused on the mounds in front of the half-destroyed castle building.

I couldn’t force myself to do this.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to eat.

Of course, I could force it to drink by grabbing the horse’s head and throwing it into the water, but I didn’t want to go that far.

“Think about it.”

I stood up, looked down at Sayoon and said. Now the decision is up to her.

Of course, I plan to persuade you until you make a decision.

I can’t give up after coming this far.

While the older Sayoon was sitting alone, I returned to the younger Sayun.

The little Sayun, who was staring at the big Sayun with a face full of worry, smiled brightly when I came back.

Similar, but not similar.

I looked at the two Sayoons alternately and then sat down next to the little Sayun.

“What did you talk about?”

“Stories like this and that. The story of when I fought the Iron Blood Beast…”

“Ah. I see.”

Little Sayun nodded slightly, and I took out a fire pipe from my arms, put it in my mouth, and lit it.

When I entered the Simma of the Sword Saint before, I already knew that I could take things to other people’s Simma.

I put the bag next to me, and it was only then that Sayun turned her eyes to the bag.

“Why did you bring so much?”

“Materials. If a big Sayun…”

“…Big Sayun?”

“Because you are Sayoon and he is also Sayun. Sayoona. If I call you that, won’t they react?”

Little Sayun looked at me and giggled.

“Mr. What the uncle said before…”

“Hmm?”

“What you said was that I deserve to be happy…”

The little Sayun, who was hesitant, slowly turned her eyes to the older Sayun. I see Sayoon getting up from his seat and heading towards the burial mound. Little Sayoon, who could not take his eyes off her as she knelt in front of him and wiped the tombstone with a cloth, spoke in a calm tone.

“I guess it’s because you know about the big Sayun, right?”

“Yes.”

“I guess it’s because I know what happens if I get attacked by the Iron Bloods, right?”

“Yes.”

“…So what you wanted to save was the great Sayoon?”

I looked at little Sayun and stroked her head.

“No. I just wanted to save ‘Sa-yoon’.”

okay. We are devastated, suffering, lonely, and in pain.

Nevertheless, I still like Sayoon, who never gave up on being good.

But that didn’t mean he wanted to bring pain and despair to Sayoon.

I like seeing people shine even in that pain, but I also wanted to see them shine without pain.

“You are what we wanted to see now.”

“…Is that so.”

“Why. Are you disappointed?”

Little Sayun slowly shook her head. And he faced me with a serious expression.

“Because I exist, I exist. That fact never changes. And, I will never be disappointed in you. Never.”

“Thank you for thinking that way.”

I stroked little Sayun’s head again, and she smiled brightly and accepted my touch.

Meanwhile, the big Sayun in front of the burial mound was walking towards us.

The corners of his eyes were red, as if he had shed a lot of tears.

Even though I cried like that earlier, I can’t believe I’m crying again.

She approached with a distorted face and slowly shook her head.

“…Why?!”

The older Sayun looked at the surprised little Sayun with eyes full of sadness and then turned his head.

Her eyes landed on the burial mound.

“How can I be the only one happy…”

This is why Sayun is Sayun.

I knew that Sayoon, who had not lost her goodness despite so many things happening, would not just leave to find her own happiness.

okay.

I thought you would reject it.

But I, we’ve been watching you for a long time, and we’ve been hoping to save you for a long time.

Therefore, it is my and our right and duty to suggest and persuade you.

So your refusal.

I have no intention of admitting it.

If it doesn’t work, I’ll persuade you until it works.

“Then shall we think about it this way? Did they want you to live in pain and despair until you die?”

Absolutely not.

And Big Sayun also knew that.

She thought for a while and was about to open her mouth when I spoke first.

“Little Sayoon. What do you think?”

“Master, the Ambassador, and the other sisters would not wish that. He probably wanted you to survive and move forward.”

That’s my opinion too.

The Geomseong, Hongryeon, and other disciples of Hongseongmun that I have experienced would want that person to live happily, no matter who survives other than Sayun.

“But… But…!!”

Tears well up. The older Sayun put her hand on her chest and gasped.

“I… make atonement here…”

“There is nothing for you to atone for. What did you do wrong?”

“That’s…”

“Is it wrong to survive? No. What was wrong were those who attacked a decent sect out of their own greed. You too are just a victim. But why should you live with guilt?”

I declared.

The people who should repent are not Sayoon, but the people who brought her this pain and despair.

And they all died.

In that case, what the people of Hong Seong-moon want is for her to get out of this dirty world and live happily.

“…But I am. I too must remember my teacher and sisters.”

As expected, Sayun was stubborn.

Of course, I also knew that we couldn’t persuade her with words alone.

“I thought you wouldn’t agree, so I prepared something.”

I stared at the big Sayoon, who was still negative about leaving, then shrugged my shoulders and rummaged through my bag.

And what he took out was a picture.

“That’s…?”

“Let me ask you something.”

I unfolded the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, and the younger Sayun was puzzled, but the older Sayun could not hide his surprise.

“That… Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara…?”

“What is this…?”

“Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara is a Bodhisattva who saves and guides living beings with mercy. If you bring this picture to Amifana Botamun, you can learn Buddhist martial arts.”

“Is that so? Then…”

“Now. The problem is why Amifah and Botamun want this.”

I opened the picture and looked at the two Sayoons and said.

“Great Sayoon. Do you know why they want this picture?”

Nod. Big Sayun nodded slightly and I smiled and said.

“Amifa aside, the reason Botamun wants this is.”

“……”

“There was a child who was greatly hurt by the chaos created by the Iron Blood Order.”

Of course, in the small world of Sayoon, this is irrelevant.

I just want the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara Temple because it is a Buddhist treasure.

However, this world will be different from the one that went according to the scenario of the Heavenly Moon.

Starting with the spiritual energy of Hongseong Mountain running wild, chaos came to the world, the power of monsters strengthened, and various dangerous monsters appeared.

So one of the events that occurred was this.

“The demon energy in that child’s body, and the poison of the monster. In order to suppress them and save the child, there was no other answer than to learn the Geumbota Avalokitesvara technique, which only the Jangmunin of Botamun and the next Jangmunin could learn.”

“……”

“But Botamun’s Jang Mun-in died while trying to save people in a fight with monsters, and the successor has not been decided. In the end, Botamun was in danger of losing Geumjeongta Gwaneumgong.”

“Is there a secret to the Geumjeongta Gwaneum-gong in the Thousand-Armed Gwaneumdo?”

“No.”

In the bright moon of heaven, it was a treasure so precious that money could not buy it, but in a world where no major events took place, it was worth only the equivalent of a couple of mines at best.

I picked up a treasure that I bought relatively cheaply.

“You can meet dead people by using Thousand-Armed Gwaneumdo.”

It is a painting that embodies the power of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who saves living beings and cares for the dead with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.

Therefore, it was not impossible to bring back someone who had already died and only had his soul left for the sake of the suffering person.

“Oh my god… huh? Wait… there. Why did you do that?”

“…Because I was sad.”

Big Sayun also knew where the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara was used.

Still, there is one reason why she did not use it for herself.

Botamun was also shaken by the loss of Jang Munin, and the child’s parents were also crying as they saw their child’s death in front of their eyes.

Because Sayun knew the pain of loss, she gave the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara to Botamun and spoke with the feeling of vomiting blood.

Please make that child the leader of Botamun.

By enduring what is difficult for you, you can save one clan, one parent, and one child.

So she made a concession, and as a reward, Sayun’s reputation greatly increased and she received an additional star.

Of course, that wouldn’t have healed Sayun’s heart.

It must have been hard for you, and I would have missed you so much.

In order to save them, Sayun gave up meeting Geomseong and other disciples and gave the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara to Botamun.

When little Sayoon looked at me in surprise, I smiled and pointed to the picture.

“Now. Big Sayoon.”

I said, staring at the big Sayoon who couldn’t hide his surprise.

“Let’s ask her. Would she want you to live like this, remembering them, or would she want you to leave with us?”
