Chapter Index

    A few days after bringing the older Sayun, Nam Chae-hyeon came to visit.

    He looked around at the big Sayun and asked curiously.

    “This is so amazing.”

    “There are so many amazing things.”

    “By the way, he’s the same as Hong Seong-moon’s Sayun, but he’s a different person. In a way, you could say that this woman is her future. Then wouldn’t we be able to know our future too?”

    I shook my head. You might not know it if it were on a slightly different level, but the world of Big Sayun is very different from now. So it wouldn’t mean much if she told me what she knew.

    Of course, you can use it as a reference, but how helpful is that?

    “Tsk. If so.”

    “Anyway, how is the research going?”

    “I think it will take some time. Hey, support is still…”

    “I have no intention of stopping support, so don’t worry. Because I’m working hard to earn it.”

    “Haha! This is reassuring!”

    I think the reason Nam Chae-hyun came to visit me was because he was worried that I would cut off my support.

    Well, since I have achieved my goal, you might think that I am just trying to clean my mouth.

    “Did I seem like such a faithless person?”

    “Sinsan Seonja? no way. What kind of harsh words are you talking about? I am Nam Chae-hyeon, director of Changwoon Hall. I never thought about that!”

    It looks obvious, but what?

    But since you can’t give praise to someone who works hard, I smiled and nodded.

    “Please take some rest while you are here. Do you know? These days, our guesthouse has a specialty?”

    “Specialty? What is that?”

    I went downstairs with Nam Chae-hyun. It looks like I didn’t see you earlier in the morning, but I guess I’ll be able to see you since it’s around noon.

    “The guesthouse here is still doing well.”

    “Because I’m trying my best in one way or another.”

    As I sat down with him, Jeomsoi approached me and I tapped the table and said,

    “Bring two shaved ice.”

    “What flavor should I get?”

    “First, the basics.”

    “Shaved ice? What is that?”

    “Look.”

    After a while, what Jeomsoi brought out were two bowls. What was inside was a basic shaved ice made with pure white milk ice and a lot of soybean powder sprinkled on top.

    “This sold quite well.”

    Most experts who have learned ice balls have strong pride and do not use ice balls for such things.

    But Big Sayun didn’t have anything like that, so he used an ice ball to freeze the milk processed by Yohwan and grinded it to make shaved ice like this.

    “They say such luxuries are something only high-ranking people can afford.”

    “Huh. It’s a real luxury.”

    It’s definitely a luxury to be able to scoop up cold shaved ice in weather that makes you sweat profusely just by standing still.

    It wouldn’t be possible in the world I was in, but in this world, that’s impossible, so if it’s a luxury, it’s definitely a luxury.

    “So how much is this?”

    “Eunja Hannyang.”

    The price of shaved ice made with ground ice was not cheap, but there were plenty of people who would pay.

    I can’t sell it because I don’t have it right now.

    There were even dignitaries who came all the way to Seomhwaseong to eat this, so it was gradually becoming a specialty along with the hot springs.

    “That’s right. You have good business skills.”

    “If you want to make money, you can make it as much as you want.”

    “What if you follow it elsewhere?”

    “If I can do something like this by recruiting an ice ball expert, I have to admit it, so what can I do?”

    I responded indifferently, and after a while, I saw a tall Sayoon, who seemed to be very moist, coming out of the bathtub.

    It seemed awkward to stay in the guesthouse ever since she came here, but little by little she was getting used to it.

    Sayoon was such a big person that he couldn’t even enter the public bath right now, but isn’t it different now?

    There…

    “It was okay, right?”

    “…Yes, yes.”

    Little by little, people at Hong Seong-moon, who had no idea what to do at first, were opening their hearts.

    In the first place, Big Sayoon just felt awkward, but he definitely didn’t hate them.

    Also, Geomseong and Hongryeon also accepted her as Sayun.

    Is it thanks to that?

    Her face, which had been so scary when I first met her, was becoming quite gentle.

    “Ugh… It’s hot. Sayoon. Let’s eat ice cream. I’ll buy it for you! I’ll buy it for you too!”

    Today, we came to Hongseongmun Gate to take a bath as a group. It’s probably about building friendships… Why do people go to a sauna with close friends? Maybe he came along to increase his intimacy with Sayoon.

    Anyway, the important thing was for Big Sayun to get used to them and open his mind, so I didn’t particularly intend to criticize them.

    While I was thinking, I saw Ryu Hyun smiling and shaking his head at the lively Chae-ryeon.

    “You can’t earn it. Because Hongseongmun is not the old Hongseongmun. I’ll buy you some frozen dessert.”

    “Oh! Really? Thank you~!”

    ices. That is, ice cream.

    It is a newly created specialty product thanks to the great Sayun who can use the ice ball.

    Since shaved ice was expensive, I suggested it so that even those who couldn’t afford it could eat it. Yohwan made it, and it was also becoming a specialty of Seomhwaseong in the summer.

    “Yes!”

    I see little Sayoon and Chaeryeon smiling brightly and making eye contact with me.

    While the girls were waving their hands and going to the store to buy ice cream with Hong Seong-moon’s other disciples, I spoke to Geomseong and Hongryeon, and to Big Sayun, who seemed to be slightly hiding behind them.

    “After taking a bath, how about a cold drink?”

    “Hehe. Thank you for the offer, but I have to go up there. I decided to look after Sayoon.”

    “Is that so?”

    “Yes. Starting with inspection again. You will have to learn it from scratch… but you will be able to learn it quickly.”

    Re-learn the basics, not the Hongseong new techniques accumulated through experience and your own thoughts.

    Of course, she had no intention of ignoring the experience she had accumulated, but everyone at Hong Seong-moon and even Big Sayun agreed that she had to learn the rules properly.

    Is that why?

    The clothes that Big Sayun was wearing now were not the blood-red clothes she wore before, but similar black clothes, and the sword she was holding was also a long sword, not a great sword.

    Are you trying to get her to adapt little by little by changing her appearance?

    It’s not bad.

    “How about dinner instead?”

    “Ah. Good. Let’s drink it in the evening.”

    “Let’s do that. If so, please. Then learn well.”

    “Ah. Yes. no. Yes.”

    At first, the older Sayoon spoke informally to me, but little by little he was changing his tone.

    Anyway, I guess he respects me because I have done a lot for him.

    There was nothing bad.

    The only thing that’s a little disappointing is that she can’t see me properly…

    Well, this too will be resolved soon.

    “By the way, where is Chaejin Women’s Association?”

    Nam Chae-hyeon, perhaps curious that there were Hongseongmundo members and Moonwoljeong Chaeryeon but no Chaejin, asked after taking a bite of shaved ice, and I burst out laughing.

    ” Yesterday, I was caught by Chae-ryeon while training without working, so today I will be stuck doing nothing but working at Munwoljeong.”

    I wanted to do it for her because Chaejin is not used to such things, but she desperately insisted that she do it herself. He says he doesn’t want to strain me, so what can I say? I just encouraged them to work hard and planned to go get some shaved ice later.

    “That’s right. You’re always busy.”

    “I have to be busy so that other people feel comfortable.”

    ***

    I am now gradually getting used to Hongseongsan Mountain, where red sunflowers are in full bloom.

    That was because Yuwol sent him on an errand or called him from Hongseongmun almost every day.

    When I close my eyes, it comes to mind.

    Hongseongsan Mountain has become a ghost mountain, and Hongseongmun Gate has collapsed.

    But it was different now.

    However, I couldn’t forget it.

    Master and sisters said it was okay, but his memories of them were his precious treasures.

    That should never be forgotten.

    and.

    ‘You have to protect it.’

    We must protect this beauty.

    For that purpose.

    Hongseongmun is home to outstanding warriors such as Geomseong and Hongryeon, and as long as there is Yuwol, Hongseongmun will not be shaken.

    But even so, there is no need to relax.

    Especially now, Hong Seong-moon’s disciples are so good.

    So, there’s nothing cruel they can’t do…

    ‘I have to do that.’

    Her expression hardened.

    Just as she had lived, when her face hardened, showing sufficient killing intent and fighting spirit, two hands came up and grabbed Sayun’s face.

    “Awww…”

    Then he gently grabbed the cheek and stretched it and spoke in a soft tone.

    “I don’t know what you’re thinking like that, but I hope you don’t get too caught up in yourself. Lately, his expression has turned into a smiling one. That expression again.”

    “Wow. cadet. Well, stop.”

    It was Hyeonhwi.

    She always judged the situation bluntly and coldly, and it was the same here.

    It was his nature to be able to watch the situation from a step back, so in a way, he might be a good fit for Big Sayoon.

    “When something happens at Hongseongmun, you are going to step forward, right?”

    “Uh… that.”

    “Don’t forget. That you are not alone here.”

    Everyone in Hongseongmun already knew about Sayun’s circumstances.

    At first, everyone was surprised, but now it seems that it is, or that it must have been difficult. That was just a reaction.

    That gave Big Sayun a sense of stability. Because the thing she was most worried about, denying herself, did not happen.

    Because he knew I was hesitating and understood and said he would wait for me at any time.

    Little Sayoon also always tried to get along with her, so people around her thought of them as almost sisters.

    “By the way. Are you still awkward with the guest host?”

    At that time, Ryu Hyeon approached. Sayoon couldn’t help but flinch at her remark.

    It’s natural.

    Even if it was Hong Seong-moon’s people, June was different.

    He is a person with whom he had no connection whatsoever.

    I remember that when the island village was attacked and everyone there was killed, his name was there.

    But that was it.

    We never met even when I went down to Seomhwachon with my other sisters to buy things.

    ‘But why…’

    Why did he try to help himself?

    Why did he try to save himself?

    ‘Knowing about me… maybe he’s from another world…’

    Big Sayun let out a small sigh. Whenever I think about June, I always feel confused.

    “Why? What’s wrong with Yuwol?”

    “It can’t be.”

    Ryu Hyun shrugged his shoulders at Hongryeon’s question and answered indifferently, but Sayoon’s expression was still unresolved.

    “Jewol is a good person.”

    Hongryeon spoke softly, and Big Sayun thought for a moment and nodded.

    “…I know that. However…”

    “Just?”

    “…Oh, no. just. A little.”

    little.

    Every time I see him.

    Because a corner of my heart is pounding little by little due to an emotion I have never felt before.
