chapter 13
13. Let’s go
Chambang Chambang-.
Nayeon-hwa was still sitting by the creek, shaking his feet.
If this was the blood of my enemies, I really couldn’t imagine dipping my feet in the creek.
“… Stupid guy.”
I couldn’t tell who I was talking to.
The Heavenly Demon just stared at her hand.
A very light cut from sparring a while ago.
To myself, a minor scar is worse than a scratch.
I wouldn’t know if my hand was cut in half.
Even in the Demonic Cult, not a single subordinate made a fuss over this wound.
But that man, my one and only student, was worried about even this.
I even looked closely to say that it shouldn’t come off.
It was absurd and a bit embarrassing, but it wasn’t too bad.
“You look so stupid.”
Are you talking to your disciple or to yourself?
Natural Hwa smiled as if it was okay.
I turn my gaze to the ring on my index finger.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a cheap item or a flimsy trinket.
I was satisfied with just having my student take care of my teacher.
“….”
Natural painting lowered her hand and slightly rolled her eyes.
It seems that he came to me quietly, saying he would not disturb me.
It was already noisy enough to shake his spirits a little while ago.
“Why don’t you just do that?”
“….”
“Are you going to keep doing that like a stray cat? I really hate being hidden like that.”
It was none other than Iris who secretly appeared at the words of naturalization.
She was a woman who had been almost sent to the underworld by naturalization before.
“Master Tae.”
“Come and sit down.”
“I….”
“I hate to say it twice.”
At those words, Iris sighed, swallowed her saliva, and cautiously approached the side.
Then the naturalist pressed her ass lightly to the edge of the rock she was sitting on.
Sug-.
When the natural painter stretched out her hand, a pipe swept from a pavilion far away! And fly away
The Heavenly Demon snatched it up and skillfully set it on fire, and the smoke filled her mouth.
“Let me be clear. I am not happy with you.”
“….”
“I will not apologize. You won’t even want to understand. Even if you’re nothing, I’m sure of my senses. That is why I do not like you.”
“… I’m sorry. Master Tae.”
“There is no need to apologize. This inconvenience is because of both you and me.”
There is a moment of silence between the two women.
Natural Hwa is leisurely smoking a pipe, and Iris seems to be contemplating something.
Then, as if determined, she clenched her fists and removed her lips.
“Despite the rudeness, there is something I want to ask you.”
“I might have to risk death instead of risking rudeness.”
“….”
“Are you really going to be okay?”
“… Yes.”
“If you can, try it. A question with the courage to risk even death.”
Chambang Chambang-.
As she splashed her toes with her toes, Nayeon-hwa waited for Iris’ question.
I was a little curious about what kind of question he was asking.
“Taesabu… Do you really care about my teacher and your student?”
Faang!-
Naturalization that instantly kicks off the seat and stands up.
Thanks to this, the water is scattered in all directions around the area.
Even though it was a flowing stream, it could no longer flow because it was blocked by the energy.
“What is the intention of the question?”
“Because I’m just curious.”
“It’s not a question worth asking just because you’re curious.”
Iris didn’t give much of an answer to Naturalization’s questioning.
The pupils moved slightly, but it wasn’t from fear.
The impatience of those waiting for an answer, that was all.
“Tsk.”
When Chun Yeon-hwa finally clicked her tongue, she sat down.
At last, the waters of the creek began to flow vigorously again.
“As my disciple cherishes and loves you. I also love my pupil.”
“….”
“Did this answer you?”
“Yes, that’s enough. The garage is also full. Thank you and… sorry.”
“….”
In response to her Iris, her natural flame pierced and stared at her.
A situation in which the eyes of the Heavenly Demon, not others, are shot straight.
Nevertheless, Iris maintained her composure even when she was shaken.
“This is absurd. You have no talent, but you act as if you have experience.”
“….”
“I wonder if I would rather be cocky. I really don’t know. The guy you are.”
Naturalization that stretched her tongue.
She looked at Iris, who was still speechless, then opened her mouth.
“You guys asked a question, and I answered. Isn’t that so?”
“Yes, Teacher Tae.”
“If it’s false, I’ll ask the principal too. I don’t expect an answer, but I still want to ask.”
“Good luck to Xiamen.”
At Iris’s words, Ja Yeon-hwa said with her red eyes sparkling.
“I wouldn’t have lived that long. Why are your eyes so sad and empty?”
* * * * * * * * * *
“I haven’t been in contact with Fifth for a while.”
The moment she heard those words from Garam’s mouth, her mind went blank.
If it’s the fifth, yes. It was definitely that guy.
I will try to beat me no matter what, and I will surpass my teacher someday.
The warrior warrior who descended into the world with such a spirited shout.
Did you say that you even got the nickname ‘Mugeuk’ among people after that?
Slightly hot-tempered and only goes straight ahead.
It’s honest when it’s good and simple when it’s bad.
Still, he wasn’t bad as a disciple and as a hero.
“What do you mean, Garam? I can’t get in touch with the fifth at all.”
“We, the disciples who have been taught under Master, occasionally contact each other, but due to each other’s circumstances, we are in irregular contact, but if we can’t, it’s about once or twice a month. If not all, at least one person in the vicinity is sent news.”
“But?”
“One or two to three months? I think it’s about. You haven’t told anyone.”
“… Fifth, what happened to Iris?”
“I don’t know exactly. Very occasionally, things get a little longer and we lose contact for a month or two. That’s why I thought it would be like that not too long ago. But since it’s been three months, I’m a bit anxious.”
“….”
This f*cking, profanity comes out of nowhere.
Discontinued news means one of two things.
You’re too busy to even afford it, or you’re in a situation where you can’t.
If it’s the former, there’s no problem with nagging other students.
The real problem is, really, if it’s the latter.
‘Couldn’t it be? What kind of trouble could he have suffered….’
This is not a game. If you die, you can never come back to life.
In the game, if you die, you come back to life, although you lose half of your level and some of your equipment.
But here, if you die, that’s it, there’s really nothing.
Considering that the disciples are not just my people, but the warriors who have to save the world.
One person, one person’s power loss is literally at the level of cutting out the whole flesh and bone.
I don’t even have time to raise other warriors anymore.
Iris is the last thing to prepare and prepare for Season 2.
But at this timing, the fifth disciple.
Mighty hero, martial arts ‘Iris Freesia’ has gone missing?
Is it really a complete retirement rather than just one disappearance?
This is a huge loss not only for me, but also for the world.
The fragments of demons are literally ‘fragments’.
Catch one! Come on! The world has become peaceful! Be happy everyone! End! This means no.
Since season 2 was the stage where the game started in earnest in the first place.
No one knows how many and how strong those demon fragments will be.
Because of this, it is fatal to have a power gap just before that situation.
The reason why I emphasized friendship among my disciples even while dismissing them.
It meant to help each other in case someone is in danger.
‘Due to the relationship system, the children under me who have received the same teaching are bound to cooperate with each other due to their characteristics. In other words, there’s no way the other disciples would have ignored Iris’ difficulties, and Iris wouldn’t have tried to solve something she couldn’t handle alone!’
Damn, damn, damn.
I unknowingly bite my nails and only think of the worst.
The appearance of everyone meeting their end after failing to block the fragments of the demon.
Until the end of me cursing everything while swearing in it.
“Master!”
“… Ah.”
Thanks to Garam’s call, I was barely able to come to my senses.
I take a breath into my stuffy chest and clear my foggy head.
It is a problem that we have lost contact.
But since we still don’t know exactly why, it may not be the worst.
Iris just went to the depths to deal with monsters.
Maybe that’s why we can’t even contact you.
“Don’t worry. You know very well what kind of guy the fifth is.”
“… Yes you know It’s a problem you know too well.”
“Nothing will happen. Even if something happens, I will destroy everything as if to show off.”
Garam’s consolation is not just words spoken on the lips.
Because he’s a warrior, he’s not far behind Garam in close combat skills.
Above all, unlike Garam, who only has extreme attack power, he is good at defense.
The so-called ‘hexagon’ is my fifth disciple, Iris Freesia.
However, if there is one thing I am worried about.
“Garam. What I’m worried about isn’t Iris’ ability.”
“So what?”
“That fiery temper.”
“… Ah.”
Similar to Iris, Iris too. Oh, maybe it’s because we have similar names?
Anyway, that guy’s character setting was the problem again.
Why do these developers take out a screw or two in a strange place?
I was at the level of wanting to hold onto those humans and ask them, “What medicine did you take?”
“You know his specialty. Push in first, go straight ahead unconditionally, and if it doesn’t work….”
“If it doesn’t work, make it happen. Was it this?”
“Yes.”
Damn it, if it doesn’t work, it shouldn’t be done.
When other disciples struggle to teach them one level higher.
When I was teaching Iris, I had to yell at her to please learn or to work hard.
The damn guy says he wants to learn something stronger than what he is learning now.
Iris said that right away, the feeling she had for me was friendly.
It’s not that I don’t respect you at all, but I definitely want to beat me someday.
And you want to finally defeat me and enjoy the victor’s rights?
‘I don’t even want to know what the winner’s rights are.’
I was scratching my head when Garam suddenly grabbed my hand.
“Why?”
“Master said so. Cherish even one friend.”
You want to cherish even one friend?
One friend? One… Ahhh. One hair.
“Did you still remember those words?”
“Me too, and so do the other guys. You’ve rotted Master quite a bit, so I have to worry about you.”
Certainly, in the early days, it was so difficult that hair loss actually came.
It was fortunate that I had thick hair.
If it wasn’t for that, I might have been busy holding on to my few remaining friends.
“Fifth, don’t worry too much. First of all, the fourth contacted me saying he would go.”
“The fourth one is a trustworthy guy. Both personality and skills.”
“Isn’t it?”
“But still, now that things have turned out like this, I have to go too.”
“Yes?”
I had no intention of staying stuck in the mountains like this forever.
I was going to go out someday to see the faces of the disciples.
If you have a cause like this, you have no choice but to jump out right away.
“Let’s go see the disciples after a while.”
