***

I glanced at the tall Sayoon sitting across from Hongryeon.

She was staring at me with a puzzled face and slowly averted her gaze, but I had no reason to avoid it so I approached her.

“We’ve already met. I wanted to introduce you. okay. Have you met Geomsung?”

The older Sayun only twitched her lips and nodded slightly.

Even though I met the Sword Saint, the fact that I’m still here probably means that I haven’t made up my mind yet.

It’s not that I don’t understand.

However, this problem is something that time will solve, and it is something that Geomseong, Hongryeon, and other disciples of Hongseongmun will solve.

There’s only one thing I can do for you.

“If you don’t have a place to go because it’s still hard to get into Hongseongmun, I’ll prepare a place for you here.”

“Uh… in such a nice guesthouse…? I feel like I owe you too much.”

The sight of her worrying about the cost reminded me of an old time. Little Sayoon was like that before too. He was happy with a small amount of money and was stingy with things for himself, such as buying sweets.

However, if you think about the money I spent to save this person, the cost of accommodation and food is really nothing.

” In that case, I can work here.”

“…Something like your escort?”

Big Sayun is also a martial arts expert in his own right.

But that’s not what I want from her.

No, in the first place, there were three superhumans taking turns guarding me, or together, so was there really a need for the big Sayoon to participate?

“You learned the ice ball, right?”

Nod. Big Sayun nodded and I pointed to the glass.

“There are many times when I have to use ice balls in the guesthouse. I want you to help me then. Yohwan!!”

“Huh?”

When Yohwan, who was in the kitchen, came out, I pointed to the older Sayoon.

“If you need ice for anything, get help from the great Sayoon. Since I learned ice ball, it will definitely help me.”

“Oh. A Binggong expert helps guests? I see… Huh? wait for a sec. Who are you?”

“Big Sayun.”

“……”

Yohwan looked at me and Big Sayun in turn and asked in bewilderment.

“This Sojeo is Sayoon?”

“That’s right. I’ll explain the details later, so just assume that.”

“Huh. What kind of harmony was created again? okay. Anyway, if I had an ice ball expert, I could make more things that would sell in the summer.”

This isn’t the imperial palace, so you won’t be able to use too much ice.

However, if Big Sayun helps us, we will be able to make things that can be eaten in the summer at the level of the imperial palace. Maybe there will be another specialty product from Hwaseong Province.

“If you are an ice ball expert, you might be able to make the things I mentioned before.”

“What you said before? What is it?”

“Let’s think of it as fun after waiting. I’ll tell you later when Geomseong and Chaejin come…”

“I’m here~!”

Chaejin came in with a lively voice and a bright smile. She was puzzled when she saw us gathered together, but as soon as she saw the big Sayoon, she looked amazed and said,

“Wow. Sojeone who resembles Sayun? Is it by chance Sayun’s lost sister?”

“……”

” Sayoon.”

“I see~. Yes?”

I laughed at Chaejin, who was embarrassed.

This must be a lot of work to do.

“Everyone, please come up after the meal. Because there are a lot of things to explain. ruler. You must be hungry, but eat your fill. If you don’t have enough, order as much as you want.”

“Uh… um. Yes.”

“Then I’ll go up. I have work to do.”

After giving them time to talk, I went straight up to the office.

There was still work to be done.

It was not just a matter of business, but a connection with Nam Gwanju.

Through the research of Nam Chae-hyeon and other Taoists, I achieved the level I wanted.

Anyway, I was able to bring the big Sayun here.

But that doesn’t mean their research is over. Their goal is to completely exclude him through connection with the world where the Demon Beast King resides.

In order to achieve that, they must find a way to ‘come and go’ to that world themselves.

I wrote the letter with the connection in my mouth.

In addition to bringing great Sayun with him, he said that he would continue to support research.

The reason was simple.

When the Demon Beast King event occurs, you can gain many things, but there were quite a few people who died during the event.

Of course, the events will be different now and in the bright moon of heaven, but there is no need to let that go.

Also, among the items obtained during the Demon Beast King event, there are none that cannot be replaced with something else.

also…

-smart.

I looked up when I heard a knock on the door.

Normally, I would have just opened the door and come in, but the reason I’m knocking on the door now is because there’s a big secret, right?

“Please come in.”

The door opened and in came Hongryeon, Chaejin, and the older Sayoon.

When they came in, I got up.

“Everyone, please sit down.”

Prepare tea.

After riding the Cheonil Plum Tea that I had recently received, I pulled out a chair and sat down, talking to Hongryeon and Chaejin.

“First of all, it would be best to explain what happened.”

I explained the situation to them.

What I have done so far to save the big Sayun observed in the small Sayun’s mind.

And what she went through.

Hongryeon, who had been listening in silence, blushed slightly.

“…It must have been very difficult.”

“Uh… Oh, no. I just…”

“Have you met the teacher?”

Nod. Seeing Big Sayun nodding slightly, Hongryeon spoke softly.

“As a long-time scholar of Hong Seong-moon, I naturally intend to recognize you as Hong Seong-moon’s disciple. So… when you’ve finished sorting out your feelings, come visit me any time. And if you want to learn Hongseong Shingong again, I will teach you. I heard you were trying to assist with other martial arts skills?”

“…Yes.”

“It was hard, right? It couldn’t have been easy. You went to such lengths to maintain Hongseong Shingong…”

Hongryeon gently held Sayoon’s large hand.

“I’m really proud of you.”

“Ah, uhm… It was just something that had to be done. As a disciple of Hong Seong-moon…”

“How many people are unable to do that obvious thing? Even though I could have switched to a new level of martial arts…”

“Ugh… black.”

The eldest Sayoon stayed still, but Chaejin was crying. It seems that just hearing it made him feel sorry for Sayoon.

Well, after Chaejin became close to little Sayoon, she also became Sayoondan.

So, I can’t help but feel sad when I hear about what Big Sayun went through.

I stroked Chaejin’s head and she sobbed even more.

The one who was surprised to see that was the big Sayoon.

“Well, I’m fine.”

“Sniff. I’m not okay… What on earth did I do in that world?”

“You must have done a lot of things too. So don’t be too disappointed.”

“….sniff.”

When Chaejin nodded, Hongryeon looked at me slightly dissatisfied, and I patted her head.

Big Sayun looked at me intently.

“Why?”

“Uh. no. that is. They seem very friendly somehow.”

“Of course. They are married.”

I held up the ring, and Hongryeon and Chaejin also held up their rings.

Big Sayun, embarrassed by the sight, was silent for a moment and then became scared.

“Now, wait a minute. Master too…”

“Yes.”

“….You were an amazing person.”

“Haha.”

Well, with something like this.

I shrugged my shoulders and Big Sayun looked at Hongryeon who was happy and then lowered her head.

“…I see. This is really… a place where everyone is happy.”

“Yes.”

We did a lot of work for that. And I plan to do it.

I spoke to Big Sayun.

“And… um. I didn’t tell you because I thought I’d be expecting too much.”

“What…?”

“Actually, bringing you here is only part of the research we did.”

The older Sayoon tilted his head as if he didn’t understand, and I held out the research diary I had received from Nam Chae-hyeon. The sight of three people huddled together and checking their logs makes me laugh.

“Uh… So. Nam Gwanju and the other Taoists’ goal is to create a way to travel back and forth to other worlds, right?”

“That’s right. In other words, if you use that research, you will even know how to return to the world where Big Sayun came from and come back again.”

“…Uh. Well, that is.”

“Of course, this is still under research. I don’t know how long it will take. I can solve the cost part, but there is nothing I can do about the other parts.”

Big Sayun looked at me silently, and I shrugged my shoulders.

“No matter how much they told us to go, shouldn’t we at least pay a visit to the grave on the anniversary of the death?”

Big Sayun lowered his head.

I took a sip of tea while watching her shoulders tremble.

“I hope you don’t forget that everyone’s happiness I mentioned earlier includes you too. ruler. Well, I think this is enough of an explanation…”

I clapped lightly and stood up.

“Hongryeon. Please guide me to the room where Big Sayun can rest.”

“I understand. ruler. Then shall we go?”

I saw Hongryeon and Big Sayun leaving. When they left the office, I spoke to Chaejin.

“Please take care of me for a while.”

“Yes. Well, it doesn’t matter… Is it okay anyway?”

“Is there anything going on?”

“No… that Sayun… should I call him the big Sayun? Big Sayun was full of life. You may not be used to peace.”

I admit it. In the world she lived in, it was natural for fights to break out in the guest rooms, and as soon as people made eye contact, there was a fight! It was also a place where the same rules as the Pokemon world applied.

She, who lived a life filled with blood and fighting every day in a place like that, might not be able to get used to peace.

“So I’m asking you a favor.”

But what is there to worry about? The people next to me are superhuman. It was clear that if they worked together, they would also teach him how to control his life.

The rest will have to remain calm and live in peace.

It will work out.

If it doesn’t work out, I’ll make it happen.
