chapter 24
24. Master (2)
[The dead… precious things… why are you trying to carry them…? ]
Sierra’s shy yet pure voice echoes in my head.
let’s calm down
Even so, Sierra might not know that I see her.
“Huh… Let’s go now.”
I spoke to myself as if asking Sierra to listen and tried to pass her standing in front of me.
After all, it’s just a soul, so I thought it would be impossible to contact me.
However, the moment he tried to pass through Sierra’s body.
ㅡPock.
My head, trying to cut through Sierra, landed on her chest. Because she was floating in the air, my face and the chest she was sticking out were at the same height.
Embarrassed, I couldn’t even move my head buried in her chest.
[ … ]
“…”
Silence continued in that state.
reach It was possible to contact the spirit, that is, the ghost.
something is very wrong
Although he had never been hugged by a woman’s chest, he immediately noticed that the feeling on his face was no different from that of a human.
[J, now… what are you doing…! How arrogant…! ]
Sierra’s trembling voice echoed loudly in her head as she covered her chest with both arms.
[You noticed right away that you could feel the existence of the original woman… Stop the clumsy acting. ]
After hearing Sierra’s answer, I came to my senses and took a step back.
‘The situation was twisted.’
I tried to take the things that contained Sierra’s memories. without her permission.
I don’t know how it is, but she is in a state where she can contact me.
There is no option to fight.
Even if you fight and win, problems arise when you try to make a contract with the seal.
A calm response is required.
First of all, I had to know where Sierra knew from where to where.
[How strange… that a blind man crosses the border between life and death…]
Sierra flies through the air, hovering around me, then glances at me before opening her mouth.
Seeing as there is no mention of the lamp, it seems that he did not see what happened in the cave.
[Why is there no answer…? The bonnyeo asked you why you touched the bonnyeo’s things. ]
Sierra, who was hovering around, said, holding my cheek with a cold hand.
Why did he tamper with the things of a dead man who died decades ago?
How did the blind man arrive from this bamboo grove, which is hard to reach, to that cave, which is hard to find?
I shouldn’t have been hostile to her.
I shouldn’t have started my relationship with her from a position similar to that of a mere grave robber.
You have to cook her well from now on.
“…It’s embarrassing. I thought maybe I was going crazy for a while and hearing nonsense…”
[The original woman is not a ‘fiction’. It definitely exists in this place, on this earth. ]
Sierra’s strong voice echoes in my head.
I took out the pendant that was in my arms and continued talking to her.
“When you say things… do you mean this?”
[ yes. It is the precious thing of the original woman, and the thing to which the soul is bound. Why did you want to take it…]
“Then you are Sierra-sama in front of me.”
[What looks like a young face… How do you know the name of the original woman who is only a person from the distant past to you? ]
“Even if it’s in the past, the reputation you’ve built is passed on from mouth to mouth. I’ve been looking for Sierra-sama.”
[Looking for the original girl…? ]
As the conversation progresses, only questions fill Sierra’s eyes.
It was embarrassing because this didn’t happen in the game, but it wasn’t unreasonable considering it was the effect of the ‘eyepatch’.
It’s a Legendary grade item, so it’s not strange if there’s something more hidden.
Isn’t it the ‘eyepatch that pierces reason’ from the name?
However, the important thing is that I know the future and I know the past. I know the information of countless people living in this world and the information of countless events.
If her soul goes into the urethra and continues to talk to me and have to talk to her…
Every time she questioned my behavior, it was very annoying to come up with every single excuse to settle him.
It would be easier in the future to make people think that I am an unknown and mysterious person.
“…Sierra-sama disappeared after suffering numerous defeats against the Sword Saint. I thought she entered lung training. In order to defeat the ‘Sword Saint’, to create a swordsmanship that would defeat the Sword Saint.”
[That… that’s something I didn’t tell anyone about…]
Sierra puts on a slightly surprised expression.
I can’t answer her questions.
It was comfortable for her to think what she thought.
And there were still many more shocking words for her.
“However, no matter how closed-door training… it would be impossible to disappear for decades. I vaguely noticed Sierra-sama’s death.
[I can’t keep up with the conversation… I know the original girl’s name, and I know where she was… What the hell is her identity…]
Sierra asked with a bewildered face at my words.
I can’t help but shudder at her like that.
“My name is Zeto. I came all the way here because I wanted to become Sierra’s ‘disciple’.”
[ …disciple…? ]
“If it’s a swordsmanship to beat the swordsman, if it’s a swordsmanship made to beat the best swordsman on the continent… I wonder if that swordsmanship is the strongest swordsmanship.”
Of course, when I put Sierra’s soul into the urethra in the game, I couldn’t master that swordsmanship.
I think it’s because the swordsmanship she was making was on the verge of being completed, but it wasn’t.
But isn’t there a difference between the game and reality?
It was the same with Emilia.
Acupuncture skill level 5 was required to treat Emilia, but I was able to successfully treat her with only level 3 because I had memories of the process of treating her.
I bet on that number.
He arrived here in order to acquire the strongest swordsmanship she could not perfect, which did not even exist in the game.
This unknown and mysterious man who suddenly came to her was doing this to acquire the strongest swordsmanship.
I needed to fool her.
[That’s a suspicious guy… So what’s the original girl’s soul…? ]
“I’m thinking of making a urethra containing Sierra’s soul. I wonder if this is the only way I can learn Sierra’s swordsmanship, who has already died.”
[Yodora… Yes, sure, if I’m talking about the Yodo that the original woman knows, it would be convenient to pass on the swordsmanship… There will be limits to maintaining my shape as I am put in a pendant like now…]
Sierra knew what a urethra was.
Maybe the urethra was more common in the past than it is now.
[However, I do not remember that the original woman said she would accept you as a disciple. ]
Saying that, Sierra crosses her arms and puts on a calm expression.
She is 100 percent right.
But I know her story.
I know what she wants.
throw a bait
Originally, this was a deal to be thrown when signing a contract, but I thought it wouldn’t be bad to pretend to sign a contract in advance.
“… Sierra-sama. Wouldn’t you like to see… defeat the swordsman with your swordsmanship?”
[With the original woman’s swordsmanship… the swordsman… wins…? ]

Upon hearing my meaningful words, Sierra’s eyes narrowed.
Sierra was obsessed with the title of Sword Saint.
She’s worked hard all her life.
To become the best swordsman on the continent.
However, I couldn’t achieve it.
After suffering numerous defeats from the Sword Saint, she entered lung training to create a swordsmanship to defeat the Sword Master, but the disease she was suffering from worsened and she died right before completion.
I don’t think she would easily reject this offer, as she couldn’t even get out of the ground because of that.
“Of course, the surest and best way would be for Sierra-sama to directly defeat the Sword Saint.
[ …… ]
Sierra’s horse count drops sharply.
She knows too.
It’s been decades since Sierra died.
It would have been infuriating for decades.
It has been desired for decades.
“The ‘ghost sword’ used when dealing with the urethra is also a swordsmanship to honor the soul contained in the urethra. I will honor Sierra-sama’s injustice.”
I approach her and reveal my aspirations.
“I will become your disciple and defeat the swordsman with your swordsmanship.”
[Bonnyeo’s disciple… with her swordsmanship… beats the swordsman…]
Sierra chews on my words slowly.
There could be no sweeter offer than this for her.
[So, the swordsman… Is that the ‘swordsman’ you know? ]
Sierra was asking if her sword character had changed to something else over the years.
“He’s old now, but he’s still the Sword Saint.”
Soon after, Sierra, whose eyes changed, hovered around me and looked around me.
[The original girl really wanted to defeat the Sword Saint. It was truly heartbreaking that I had to fall ill and die without being able to defeat him…]
Sierra looks back on her past as if resentful.
Now it’s all up to her.

Unexpectedly, without even making a urethra, they made a deal about what each other wanted.
‘If it goes wrong here, it’s impossible to seal it. Then Sierra must give up…’
[ …Daddy, what did you say your name was? ]
In a tense moment, Sierra stands in front of me and asks for my name again.
“My name is Zeto.”
[Jetto… I’ll remember it. By the way, I know that a lot of rare ingredients go into the urethra, but are all the ingredients ready? ]
“I’ve got all the materials. All I have to do is entrust the production to the blacksmith.”
[Huh… The original daughter’s first disciple seems to be quite capable, right? ]
“Because he’s the first disciple… are you accepting me?”
I asked Sierra in a very happy voice.
[It is true that you are a suspicious person… It is also true that you are unknown. However, it is also true that there is no one who can come all the way here to relieve the original woman’s resentment unless it is you. ]
Sierra was quick to calculate.
Certainly, if I hadn’t come to see her, as she said, her death would have been forgotten for a very long time.
[I hoped so much. Only on the day when I can defeat the swordsman, so… I will accept your offer. You, on behalf of the bonnyeo, defeat the swordsman, and the bonnyeo defeats the swordsman against you…]
Saying that, Sierra came to me and hugged me with a bright face.
And whisper in your ear
[…I’ll tell you the Sierra Ryu reverse sky. ]
Her voice echoing in her head sounds more alluring.
Sierra Ryu Reverse Stream.
It was the name of the swordsmanship he would learn from her through demon swordsmanship.
[However…! Unfortunately, the inverse is not yet complete. So, I must complete it with the original woman. ]
Sierra says that and smiles at me.
It was the moment when my ‘fake’ teacher became a ‘real’ teacher.
[By the way… Disciple, do you know how to handle a sword…? ]
Soon after, Sierra, with a serious face, carefully observed the bandages around my eyes and asked me a question.
I laughed it off because I thought the question was too late.
