chapter 47
47. Why
“hehehe! Master Tae! Water has arrived! Uh, Master! Are you awake?!”
“Of course, you stupid disciple. How many hours can I faint like you?”
“You can’t compare yourself to me. However… Is that or what in your head?”
Oh my God, it’s enough to catch Iris’ eyes.
Certainly, the bump on his head is very desirable.
The word ‘a little bit’ that I added a little while ago because I felt ashamed without realizing it.
As soon as he heard that, Master suddenly hit him on the head.
The blow was so sudden that there was no time to defend.
– Knock! Why, why are you beating ?! –
– Huh? Uh… Mo, I don’t know! –
Even after beating him, he replies that he doesn’t know.
I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t even speak, but I felt Iris’ presence and hurriedly stood up.
After that, Master kept clearing his throat and avoiding my gaze.
“Master. Water.”
“… Did you really come up with this?”
“Yes. Fortunately, I heard the sound of water nearby.”
“It was hard. There is water in the canteen.”
I wanted to pour water over my still tingling head.
But that’s not how I would look in front of my pupils, so I canceled it for now.
“Come on!”
Suddenly, Master stood up from his seat.
Then he said ‘I’ll take a short walk and come back’ and disappeared.
In an instant, with no time to stop.
“….”
“….”
“Master.”
“Why?”
“Did you fight with Taesabu by any chance?”
“Do you know anything?”
“Well, I don’t know this part well.”
I only avoid words that are directly related to regression.
Iris turned around as much as she could and appealed to me as a regressor.
There must be something there.
You shouldn’t talk about that part, or something else.
“First of all, I told Master about you.”
“Eh?! Really? No, wait! No way….”
“Don’t worry. I didn’t tell you the details. Because it was properly covered.”
“Ah… is that so? Thank god. Phew….”
“It was a bit like Master still being wary of you. From now on, Master will also accompany you, but if you keep having trouble, you will be tired and Master will be tired, but I am the most tired.”
The last is the key. This is the most important part.
What am I supposed to do between the two?
I hate being uncomfortable, and I hate putting up with it even though I know it.
“… It looks like you went for a really long walk. Now, let’s talk about it.”
“Master. That’s once….”
“Wouldn’t it be better to go check on Iris? As quickly as possible.”
“Eh?”
I already know that Iris is a regressor.
Iris knows that I know that.
But Iris avoids putting that part directly outside her mouth.
Then I just have to avoid that and get an appropriate answer.
I didn’t just learn martial arts while under the Heavenly Demon.
My awareness has grown, and I have learned how to live in the world.
It’s not that I respect and admire Master for nothing.
“I thought about taking it easy, but….”
“Master. Still, wouldn’t it be better to go a little faster?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to do that?”
“Yes. I think that would be good.”
Seeing Iris’s eyes twinkle, it seems to be as expected.
It is said that shortcuts exist everywhere in the world, and that was certainly true.
“What will happen in the future? That is very worrying.”
“… It would be nice to know all of that, but it would be impossible.”
“I guess so. There must be rules in this world too.”
“There is, however, something that can cleverly avoid that.”
“Can I look forward to it? To be honest, I’m a little worried.”
“I am a disciple who is lacking right now, but not later. Do not worry.”
I don’t even know what Iris has grown up to be.
I’m curious to see how things have changed, but I’ll put up with it.
Seeing that he doesn’t deny anything I said, it seems like he’s holding a penalty.
The reason I don’t say it openly is because the penalty is so serious.
Then, as expected, for now, act according to my plan.
Sometimes it would be better to check Iris’ reaction and proceed or delay.
“Ah, Iris. Let me ask you one more question.”
“Yes, Master.”
“The sky I saw in the city. Wasn’t it really ugly that it was wide open?”
Do you know anything about the demon fragments?
If there is any, I’m throwing it like that in the sense of saying at least roughly.
But Iris’s expression is unusual.
There seems to be something that doesn’t hide the fact that something is very embarrassing.
Looking at him, wondering why, Iris slowly opened her mouth.
“When the chapel was attacked. It was such a perfect surprise. I was so scared.”
“….”
It was a perfect surprise, it was so scary.
The moment I heard those words, I was able to understand them right away.
And I followed Iris and frowned at her.
If Iris is a regressor, she must be aware of normal days, too big an event.
However, the regressor is making noises such as being scared because it was a surprise attack.
What does that mean? Doesn’t that mean only one?
– This means that it has not happened before. It’s something Iris didn’t expect at all. –
“… Do you have any reason to expect something?”
There is no subject, but Iris must have known what I was asking.
The guy thought for a while and then slowly opened his mouth.
“… Destroying the lair of the demon worshipers hiding in the city was really amazing.”
The hideout of demon worshipers in the city.
Come to think of it, it all started with Iris, who found out her spy.
She knew who the spy was, so that’s how she found it.
If Iris didn’t anticipate what happened after that.
What will be the consequences of destroying the hideout?
It was natural that Iris couldn’t predict that either.
– My head hurts. –
Literally, her head was pounding and she was going crazy.
She seemed to have a breakthrough, but that breakthrough also had some problems.
Damn it, I’m going crazy.
Anyway, a game like dog, nothing is easy.
Though I was the one who didn’t have an answer to that game.
* * * * * * * * * *
“My disciple. Maybe the enemy will come out?”
“No. There is no such thing.”
“Is that so? That’s good.”
And then 10 minutes passed.
“My disciple. I wonder if there will be an ambush.”
“No. Is there an ambush that neither I nor Master notice?”
“That’s right.”
Ten minutes again. No, 5 minutes passed.
“My disciple. It’s a sudden thought….”
“No. No. Master, please stop.”
I know very well that Master lived as a heavenly demon in Gangho.
And for the Heavenly Demon, going on a journey somewhere.
It was like going head-to-head against a surprise attack from all directions.
Once in a while, he would explain what happened at the time.
One day, I went somewhere and fought with dozens of sect masters.
They retreated after we couldn’t win, and after a while, the sapas attacked.
After destroying even them, it smelled so bloody that I just went back to the Demonic Sect.
Well, most of the content was roughly like this.
I wonder if those parts were the reason for the current situation.
Now, Master clearly regards the fragments of the Demon God as strong enemies.
You never know when that formidable enemy will strike from behind.
Or it can appear in the front at any time, if not the back.
He kept burning his will to fight in that direction.
“… Iris. What do you think.”
“I am ‘sure’ that Teacher Tae-sa is worrying for nothing.”
It’s not expected, it’s certainty.
In other words, it means that there will be no surprise attacks from enemies or open fights.
Of course, the future Iris knew and the situation were a bit different.
Now we have to doubt even what can be said to be certain.
Even so, I can’t feel any signs of it around me.
What kind of surprise or attack are you worried about?
“It is such a quiet world. Originally, we would have had to fight several times already.”
So how many times have I told you that it is different from Kangho?
I want to shoot at you, but I hold back because it’s not someone else, it’s my teacher.
Justice is far and the fist is close, and the Heavenly Demon’s fist hurts more than anything in the world.
“… Wait a minute, my brother. Something is coming.”
“What else… okay. Really… Something is coming.”
At first, I wondered if the demons were attacking, as Master had feared.
But they’re not stupid enough to make a noise or sign like this.
Above all, the level of power felt was too low for those who wanted to fight.
This must be a very different shape from what Master thought.
As the signs gradually approached, I realized that I wasn’t even an opponent to pay attention to.
After a while, the identity that was approaching in front of me was revealed.
“It’s a carriage, Master.”
“Yes. It looks like a rural aristocratic carriage. Let’s not get into a fuss and pass quietly.”
“Master. Master Tae, take care of Master Tae.”
Iris must have a reason for saying that.
So I tried to hide Master in a nearby bush to prevent a collision.
The Heavenly Demon has pride, but would you bow down if someone told you to bow down?
It would be much better to just hide it somewhere.
“You poor fellow. Are you ashamed of your master?”
“No, it’s all for Master and us. Please cooperate.”
After forcibly pushing Master into a bush, a carriage approaches.
At the moment I was about to lower my head and let it go, so as not to get into an unnecessary fight.
“Why are you saying that a wagon is so important! I cannot stand this!”
Master shouts
And eventually jumps out.
Thanks to that, I open the carriage window and run into someone passing by.
… Oh, please. Just pass by please.
This is a cliché that is so obvious, it’s boring repertoire.
A crazy nobleman passing by sees a peerless beauty and is seduced by it, so he stops the carriage.
Then, while trying to go with him, he ends up facing a tragedy.
To a woman like a monster who can easily deal with even a hero.
This isn’t really true. Just go by pass by Gone, f*ck!
Click-.
However, the wagon easily trampled on my expectations.
The door of the wagon stopped in place suddenly opened.
“Ehh….”
That Iris, that stupid disciple, Iris let out a sigh as if she was really frustrated.
I never imagined that the day would come when I would see scenes like this.
Yeah, well, I expected it to turn out like this.
Considering that this is the world inside a game.
There is no choice but to have the most obvious cliché and the most obvious repertoire.
Wouldn’t it be more strange if you could get out of here easily?
“There b*tch. Come over here for a second. Hurry.”
b*tch, come. It’s a b*tch. The Heavenly Demon says she’s a b*tch.
It was too novel and too dangerous for a new type of suicide method.
“… Is that what you said to the principal right now?”
I think so, Master.
While muttering that, I prayed for the aristocrat to rest in peace as today is the last day of his life.
Why did I get caught by the Heavenly Demon and not by Iris?
