chapter 161
161. Haaa….
“Are you really going?”
“I have to go. If the principal stays here, will you leave your disciple alone?”
“He’s a guy who can do well on his own, but….”
“It has been done. Aren’t you worried too much when you say that? Because Bondi has a very soft personality. Go back quickly and tell him that your proud master is doing well. If Taesabu said that, not to anyone else, Esther would be able to be relieved and faithful to her duties again.”
After saying that, Master turned around as if this was enough for a greeting.
I had already finished all of my personal conversations with myself on that hot dawn.
In addition, Master’s logic was that we would meet again anyway, so we could just do it then.
“Iris. You should go and do it properly.”
“Don’t worry. I will make everyone in the south praise me.”
“It should be praised, not cursed.”
“Wow, didn’t I believe you? Are you coming out like this again?”
Maybe it was because of my words that a lively figure is better.
Throwing away all the serious and slightly gloomy atmosphere.
It was Iris Future Walker, a regressor who returned to the ‘Iris’ I knew.
“Iris.”
“Yes, Master Tae.”
“This burden is yours. Go ahead.”
“Me, me?”
“Yes.”
“All of this?!”
The reason why Iris is so scared is, in a way, obvious.
It’s not just luggage to go back to the south.
I don’t know when the heck they got it, but there were several more large bags.
And each of those bags was so full that it seemed like it would explode at any moment, no matter how much I packed it in.
At first, I thought you put some luggage to take to the south.
But soon after I listened to the bags and heard something ‘clack rattle’ inside.
I could tell that Master had put a fistful of stones in his bag.
In all the prepared bags, very tight, not even one left.
“You sound obvious. You have to train your stamina without even trying. That way, your poor stamina will get a little better. Didn’t you say you needed more power?”
“Yeah, that’s true, but….”
“Training is not originally done at a set time. You have to do it all the time, and then you become trained. Didn’t you say Even though he is the youngest, he said he would become a better warrior than any sister-in-law. So, Master Tae is offering to help, but if you want to refuse the favor, do as you please.”
Perhaps the current situation was caused by Iris.
It seems that she went to her master and said that she wanted to become stronger and go faster.
Unfortunately, our Heavenly Demon doesn’t know anything other than going straight.
Rather than that, Master put it in the right amount.
When you gave it to me, it was much heavier than this.
He didn’t just put stones in it, he also carefully scooped up soil to fill the empty space.
The moment I lifted that heavy bag, the words ‘I’m dead’ came out on their own.
“Huh! Well, I think this is enough.”
“Senior Lily?!”
“It looks like you didn’t put any soil in, Master Tae.”
“Huh? Ah. I plan to put that in as I go. If you put it in from the start, it will spread right away.”
A saint with weak physical strength was far from Lily.
The saintess here is someone who would wield a mace if she got into trouble.
So, of course, I have good stamina, and that good stamina naturally came from training.
“Come on, let’s go. Iris. Shouldn’t you return to your master’s side as soon as you finish your work in the south?”
“Aagh! How the hell are you going to carry all this on your back!”
One bag for each arm, and two bags that can be worn on the legs.
In addition, I carry three bags on my back and the two remaining bags on the front.
Should I say that it really looks like I’m wearing a suit made of bags?
Iris barely took the first step after becoming a living, full-level bag.
“This, this is a nightmare… This has never been like this before….”
“I talk a lot. Go away. Because I intend to go slowly behind you.”
“Iris. See you later. In the meantime, work hard next to Master Tae.”
“Teacher, take care of yourself quickly…. Aww! It’s too heavy!!”
Iris moved her steps erratically.
Master stared blankly at them and gestured to me.
“Let’s talk for a minute.”
Are you planning to have a short conversation before parting?
After letting Lily in, I matched my pace with Master with the intention of welcoming her.
“Hyunah.”
“Yes, Master.”
“This is your first time, right?”
“… What do you mean by all of a sudden?”
“A woman who has been embraced in this world. That is, I am not the first.”
My face immediately heats up at that question.
It’s a question that makes my face so hot even I’m a listener.
I wonder if it’s the Heavenly Demon that you’re doing it so casually.
“Answer me. Or maybe I didn’t know about a woman….”
“Absolutely not. Master is right. You, Yeonhwa, you are the first.”
“… Good night. Good thing. If I do, I will be able to secure the first position as well as the position of the first wife.”
“Master? What the hell are you talking about, this disciple understands….”
Suk-.
Master suddenly stopped walking.
Then he turned his head so that he could hear a swish.
Looking at me with very sharp eyes, he parted his lips.
“You already know that, right?”
“Yes?”
“Your disciples dare to have feelings for their master.”
“… Ah, me. That is….”
“Even though I said so much to them. I can’t help it. Right now, aren’t you the disciple who has feelings for his master? And… My teacher is also a girl who has feelings for his student.”
“Hey, Master. I will speak well to my disciples.”
But Master shook his head.
I shut my mouth involuntarily at the reaction that there was no sign of it.
“The human mind is so strong. Even I was easily swept away by him. Would it be different if they were your disciples or warriors? If you try to stop what is natural and obvious, you will be in trouble. You and I realized that too late. Hyuna.”
“… But in the end, you and I didn’t find the answer.”
“Yes. I’ve reached the answer. That’s why there’s nothing more foolish than not being able to find the answer. Don’t worry. I don’t know what kind of place your world is, but in the world where I was, having three concubines was not a bad thing. Even women, if they were capable of it, had countless men.”
“That… I want to carefully ask if it is rude to each other.”
“It would have been in your world. But in my world, it was best to be by the side of the powerful. No one in the world wants to be the last of the strong and shiny, not the first of the weak and ugly. In my opinion, this place is not very different from where I live.”
In the end, Master’s words were this.
That I can understand even if I have a woman other than myself by my side.
It was already obvious that everything was visible, but it was difficult to pretend not to know.
“If your disciples are approaching, don’t do stupid things like pushing them away because of the principal. If you don’t like it, then push it away. Don’t even think about making silly excuses. If you think you’re not, you’re not, and if you don’t know, you don’t know. If you want to hold my hand, that is it.”
“Yeonhwa.”
“I don’t have such an idiosyncratic personality that I can’t understand that much. Also, as Master Tae, he is generous to his descendants.”
Master smiled broadly and took another step.
By the way, was it my mistake? I’m sure you’re smiling
Actually, those eyes never belonged to those who laughed.
“But, just that. Hyuna. If you want to cross the line, if you dare to take away my man’s body and mind with a request. My wife never tolerates concubines. Her man has to stop it first. If you get swept away, then this teacher has no choice but to step in. Do you know what I mean?”
So, I’m going to get over the flirting with women for now.
I can understand accepting them.
If you dare to let go of yourself and dream of something more, you will definitely step out.
It was an unbelievably gentle warning from the Heavenly Demon and Master.
Maybe it’s because those opponents are none other than my students.
Isn’t it because he became a son of a teacher and gave it to him appropriately?
“If you understand even that much, I have nothing more to ask for.”
“In the midst of that, he doesn’t even say that he will push me away even if he dies.”
“… To be honest, I don’t have the confidence to push the two guys out.”
“How can you be so confident that there are two of you?”
“Yes?”
“No. It’s no fun if you teach me. I want to see the cheeky guy suffer a little.”
“Master. Again, what did you just say….”
“Noisy. Go quickly, take care of your disciples, and go to the royal castle. I’m going to spend some time with your disciples in the south and then go slowly. In the meantime, I was thinking about what else I could give myself.”
After saying that, Master followed Iris, who was already far away.
I can hear Iris’s scream that it’s heavy from far away, and Master’s words that it hasn’t started yet.
After staring at it for a moment, I turned around.
* * * * * * * * * *
“Master! Master! Well done! We can move now?!”
“Master! Help me! I think I will become one with the bed!”
Garam and Xenia, who have been lying on the bed for the past few days by Lily.
I am so frustrated and sore from moths that I ask such a request with all my heart, not joking.
That scene was quite funny and also looked pitiful.
I thought about helping, but thanks to Lily shaking her head, I couldn’t.
Instead, let these two lie quietly in bed and receive a little more treatment.
I decided to soothe her in moderation, like a parent of young children.
“Ehh?!”
“Hick?!”
I sat between Garam and Xenia and held their hands.
I thought that doing this would calm both of them.
Just holding my hand isn’t everything.
The condition is that if you get up from your seat without Lily’s permission, you will let go of the hand you’re holding.
It’s not just regret about letting go of my hand, I can’t catch it anymore, but my opponent is holding it.
It was my intention to let them know that they would definitely make fun of me and provoke me there.
“If you move without Lily’s permission, let go.”
“Hey!”
“Me, never! I will always stay still!”
Yes, yes. It should come out like this too. In that case, it’s really easy to deal with.
“Well, by the way. Master. Can’t you hold it with your left hand instead of that right hand?”
“… Suddenly?”
“Yes. I prefer holding it with my left hand rather than my right hand.”
I was just about to move after thinking about Garam’s sudden request for a moment.
“Wait a minute, Master! What is my opinion! How is it that you only listen to Garam and change it!”
“Hey, Xenia. It’s nothing. It’s simply….”
“I like my left hand too! Please stay like this! You don’t have to listen to Garam!”
“Why is that disturbing again?! I don’t care what kind of hand you hold!”
“It doesn’t matter which hand you hold! Don’t ask Master and stay still!”
“….”
I looked at Lily, who was quietly standing next to me.
An unspoken question as to whether we were really fighting over childish things like this.
“Haaa….”
Lily responded with a very long sigh.
