chapter 14
14. Let them follow!
The disciples descended as soon as they were ready.
Why? No matter how much I teach and teach, I can’t do it as well as in real life.
It is possible to reach a certain level just by sparring with me.
However, the opponents they have to fight are not humans or similar species.
The beginning will be the monsters and the giving monsters, and the end will be the ‘Devil Fragments’.
Will those guys use weapons? Of course don’t write
We fight not to beat the other person, but to ‘eat them up’.
You have to save the world from monsters who literally deserve the title of monster.
So it was important to quickly get used to those disgusting monsters.
‘There is no weapon as threatening yet effective as adaptation.’
If that’s the case, why have you been stuck in the mountains while nurturing only disciples?
You might think that Himsunjin is doing something like that.
Once again, only the hero can deal with the fragments of the Demon God.
That means neither I nor my master can win.
However, if you go outside for no reason and are defeated by a fragment of a demon god and taken hostage.
Conversely, I had to assume that there was a 100% chance of catching my students’ ankles.
For this reason, I sequentially sent down the disciples and the warriors I trained.
Let the ‘malice’ that will fill the world regard them as their nemesis.
After that, I went down and beat the demons and the worshipers who drank.
The fragments of the Demon God are so that the students can beat them with peace of mind.
“Going to meet the disciples… Then, is Master finally going out into the world?”
“For now. The frequency of appearance of monsters is too frequent. It would be impossible with just you guys.”
“Everyone will work harder when they hear that Master is coming down! Ah! I have to tell other disciples this good news soon….”
“No.”
Of course I believe in my disciples and the warriors I raised.
However, the disciples, the thugs who flock under the warriors, do not believe.
Those who claim to be followers but open pumpkin seeds through their back holes.
If I appear in the world and my disciples will be excited and flock to me.
No matter how hard you try to keep a secret, there will eventually be a place where it leaks out.
And naturally, about the existence of me, through the spy hidden among the filth.
At last the ‘enmity’ that hates this world may turn its gaze towards me.
It doesn’t matter whether a few hundred monsters come or a few thousand worshipers.
It’s not as good as Master’s, but it’s because he’s reached a certain level.
If you consider that level of exercise after eating, you can beat them all.
However, if the opponent becomes a demon fragment, it becomes quite difficult.
No matter what I say, they are not something I can do anything about.
It’s not a matter of strong or weak, it’s just a fight that can never be won due to the nature of the match.
I mustn’t let them look at me.
Not just for my survival, but also for the future fight.
They had to focus all their attention on my students.
“Keep it a secret. Only you know that I am descending, and I will not tell you where I am going.”
“Oh, why! I can’t! It is unacceptable!!”
Ahh!!-
Ga-ram’s fox tail is straightened and the fur stands up stiff in all directions.
It looks like you’re extremely excited. Maybe it’s because you didn’t want to tell us about Hasan?
Or was it because he said that he would keep his future destination a secret even from himself?
Whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter.
Because I’m going to go ahead as I want anyway.
Jooouk!!-
“Hey Yay!!”
I lightly grab Garam’s fox ears.
And as soon as I gently pull it, the garam flutters and I don’t know what to do.
Because ears are a very sensitive and important organ for beastmen.
It was possible to subdue it unconditionally if you held that place as a prisoner.
“Su, Master! Ears, ears stop! Please stop pulling!”
In the end, Garam waved his arms and shouted surrender.
Only then did I let go of his ears.
“Garam.”
“… Yes, Master.”
“At least it’s you. Because I am the first disciple, I am telling you this much.”
“… Can’t you just do a little more than the first treatment?”
“Originally, I said it would be better if fewer people knew about sensitive matters.”
“Is it really that sensitive for Master to step out? He is stronger than me and the other disciples, so I don’t understand why he keeps trying to stand in the back.”
I am a Garam who does not yet know the rules of this world.
No, if you think about it, it’s rather natural that you don’t know.
It is very difficult to make people understand the rules of this world that only I know.
If you tell the truth, you may notice something strange in between.
You should always remain a teacher to your students, not a user who has fallen into the world within the game.
It’s not good for me, and it’s not good for everyone else.
“I would have told you one day. This master has a special talent.”
“Yes. Do you remember They said you can see what others cannot see.”
“Right. So now the light that I see in you and in other disciples. I am seeing the light that others will not see when they wake up from the dead. The light that will illuminate the way from the malice that will overtake the world.”
“….”
“Sometimes there are things you want to say but can’t. Garam. I hope you understand that. I’ll tell you someday, but not now. Right now, the world needs you.”
Garam is a clever guy.
It’s not just what it does that makes it a fox, its head is also as clever as a fox’s.
So you will understand what I am trying to convey.
“In the end, I can’t break Master’s will.”
“When did I ever lose to you guys? I don’t think I’ve ever had one.”
“That’s true too.”
Ga-ram smiled a little and took a step back.
Then I put my hands on my chest and slightly bow my head.
“I understand Master’s will. I will not comment further on this.”
“Thank you, Garam. Also you….”
“Instead of.”
… Why is the word ‘instead’ popping up again?
Can’t you just go over it nicely?
Why do all of my students try to negotiate with me whenever they get a chance?
“There are conditions, Master.”
“What conditions. For reference, if you do something stupid, you can get scolded.”
“It’s nothing special. You just have to close your eyes.”
“… Is that really all?”
“Um, if I had to add one more thing, would it never move? That should be enough.”
“You didn’t forget to tell me not to do anything stupid, did you?”
“Absolutely not. Now, I will understand with a broad mind, so Master, hurry up.”
“….”
Garam is nothing else but a fox beast, so I’m quite uneasy.
Once upon a time when I was in the middle of teaching Garam, he actually tried to attack me.
The child is half blind, so he can! Kaaeng!! And rushing
Wow, I really thought a lot about whether I would beat him with a club and knock him out.
However, as time passed and I took the train, my self-control increased.
So now I can’t doubt blindly because I’m not a guy who just pushes me out without a case.
I thought about what to do for a while, but the conclusion had already been drawn.
“You know you shouldn’t close your eyes, right?”
“It won’t float, so don’t feel like you want to float.”
“Nothing.”
Where Garam wants to stand, he closes his eyes.
After a while, I felt something touch my chest.
The touch of this frantic rubbing is like Garam’s face.
The soft feeling felt under it is definitely the chest… This goes over
Anyway, to wrap things up, Garam was rubbing his face and body hard against me.
Let’s think about the character setting for Garam.
It is said that he likes to have his scent buried by someone he feels close to.
This isn’t just being buried, it’s almost papering.
After rubbing hard for a few minutes like that, Garam walked away from me as if he was finally satisfied.
“… What did you do?”
“Did I leave my smell behind?”
“….”
When I sniffed it, I felt a faint sweet scent.
It can be said to be faint by human standards, but it should be enough for Garam, a beast.
Isn’t this just stamping it as if it were mine?
“You keep doing this and you want to fight Xenia again?”
“I have no desire to fight. Xenia keeps attacking me, and she just doesn’t avoid me.”
“It’s because you keep provoking me.”
“It doesn’t matter now, does it? Xenia isn’t there, and I’m the only one next to her master.”
After putting the sword around my waist, Garam shouts, “Ready!”
Thanks to that, all I can do is let out a sigh.
Then all I had to do was go to Master and inform him of Hassan.
Master was still sitting in a daze by the stream.
But when I looked, Iris was sitting next to him.
I admit that the relationship between him and Master has become quite ambiguous.
But it was very awkward for them to sit in the same place.
“Master?”
“Did you come? So, have you finished the story?”
“Yes. So there is something I want to tell you.”
“What was it?”
“I think I should go down and see it.”
It must be a little sudden to say that you are leaving this place.
Even so, Master didn’t show much reaction.
As if he knew it would happen, as if he fully anticipated it.
“I guessed that the time had come.”
“Is that so?”
“Didn’t those monsters spawn in such a remote place? You’re not a guy who’ll stay stuck forever, and since you care so much about your disciples, you couldn’t just leave them alone.”
“I just appreciate your understanding.”
“If so, where are you going?”
“I haven’t decided on a destination yet.”
It’s a lie, the destination has already been decided.
I intend to confirm the place where the fifth was last seen.
The reason why I don’t even tell my teacher is because I have ears to hear.
“Master. I have one request.”
“Blue. What is it?”
“I would like you to take care of Iris while I am away for a while.”
How things are going, now I don’t even know.
Something could have really happened to Fifth right now.
Then I tried taking Iris and she was of no help.
To put it a little badly, it would be nothing more and nothing less.
Because of this, it would be much safer to keep it by Master’s side.
After confirming the whereabouts of the fifth disciple, Iris, and returning again.
After that, I was thinking of bringing him along to make up for the lacking part.
“No!”
Until Iris jumped up and she screamed with her eyes wide open.
“Iris!”
“No, Master! Take me too, take me too! You have to!”
“Don’t be stubborn. This is not a joke or a test.”
“I know! So we have to go together even more! It has to be! I, I!”
Garam frowns as Iris’s voice gets louder.
And then, before I could say anything, Iris grabbed her by the collar.
“I am the youngest. In front of Master, and in front of Teacher Tae. How rude is that in front of you two?”
“Kuh… ! S, Master! Please take me too! Please take me away!!”
“This guy is all the way.”
Garam, Master, and even me.
I had to look at Iris, who suddenly looked very urgent.
With his usual mischievous expression, ‘Let me follow you! Please!! Hee-in!’.
Seeing her like that, I wonder if she’s the Iris I used to know.
“Garam. Stop.”
After drying the clothes, I approached Iris.
Why was this guy reacting this way all of a sudden, he had to know why.
“Iris?”
“Master. Me too, I want to help Master. Don’t be a disciple who always causes trouble. I really want to become the disciple that Master needs.”
“I’m going to keep it by my master’s side so that it becomes like that.”
“I want to learn more from Teacher’s side, not Taesabu’s. Please do so You’ve been doing that all along. I’ll do better, so don’t leave me here alone. I’ll do my best. Therefore….”
Seeing Iris’ desperate look, I finally nodded.
Ga-ram said he couldn’t understand, and Master frowned.
In the end though, I allowed him to accompany me.
‘There is something.’
Yes, there is something. The guy is obviously hiding something.
But I’m not going to lightly reveal anything here.
That’s why I felt like I should go around together and find out what it was.
