Chapter 213 – Conscience

“What, what! Why are you suddenly covering people’s mouths and dragging them…”

“I told the swordsman before that you shouldn’t reveal that fact, didn’t you?!”

“…Uh..”

Was it?

After Socheon Yeo dragged me into the room and let her mouth go, my mouth, which had been opened in protest, was forced to shut again.

Come to think of it, she seemed to have said something like that.

Even if others don’t know, don’t ever tell Swordsman that I’m a possessed person from another world.

“If someone said something, you shouldn’t be remembering it properly! You almost got into trouble, didn’t you?”

“No, it’s not such a big deal to reveal that.”

“That’s because you don’t know the woman’s condition! If you touch her wrongly, it’s a bad thing that can lead you to the end of the coin!”

…Is that enough?

She knows a lot about strange things. If Socheon said this, she really thought it would be better if she didn’t say it.

Actually, since I’ve known you for a longer time than I do, you probably know more about me than I do.

“…But then, didn’t you know that the culprit who broke my danteon was the swordsman’s apprentice?”

“That, that’s…”

“Why didn’t you tell me?!”

“Oh, you didn’t even ask in the first place!”

…This was also true.

It’s not like I didn’t even ask.

“Everything, if you were really curious, I would have told you!

“…You only say the right things in every case, so can I hit you just once?”

“What if you have the confidence to hit a self-defense weapon with your bare hands?”

“Sheesh.”

I decided to hold it in because only my hands would get hurt.

“Anyway, if you say you shouldn’t reveal that fact to the swordsman… There’s only a slightly awkward solution…”

“Well.. There is such a thing as white lies, and there is a saying that ignorance is medicine. Right now, that’s the safest solution.”

“…Then there’s nothing you can do about it.”

In the end, if the situation is like this, there is only one way I can do it.

Pretending to be the original owner of this body and forgiving the swordswoman.

Unless I’m the one who did the swordmaster’s fault, it’s a shameful ending, but there was no better way than this right now.

“Did you really think it was just memory loss if you got stuck?”

“No, but changing the soul is different from amnesia.”

“Or, since you’ve lived with that body for a lot longer than the previous owner, you can think of it as your own body anyway.”

“…Whoa.”

In fact, what I feel in my body is right.

Since I have no memory on Earth, the only proper memory I have left is the memory after entering this body, so I have no choice but to think of this body as my body.

…Well, after all, it’s no one else’s business, and I was the one who lived with a broken body, so I could see that I had the right to forgive them to some extent.

“Ah. Come to think of it, I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“Is it true that my ability to read the heavenly spirit was given to me by the Goddess of Heaven and Earth?”

I remembered what she had heard from her teacher, and when I asked Socheon again, she put on a puzzled expression.

“You’re asking about something obvious. It’s only natural that it’s his grace.”

“I knew I had worked hard to get it.”

“It’s an effort, and if you don’t like him, you can’t even try for 100 years. There was no one who could read the heavenly secrets as freely as you, beyond the current era, even looking through the past years.”

“Hmm..”

It seemed that Master’s words were true.

Still, I asked just in case, but if you see that the answer came back correctly.

It was right that you threw it into this world without any explanation, but you still cared about it.

“…If I had told you that I was paying attention to you earlier, wouldn’t I have been a little less resentful?”

“Poem, it’s noisy! Don’t try to figure out God’s intentions with a human subject!”

“Although you are human too.”

“Ah, anyway! It’s also why we keep the two of you together for too long, so please go back and say something. And I have something to say about the white witch you’re in contact with, so please come to my room later.”

I have something to say to the saintess.

I wondered if he had noticed that I had signed a contract, so I was frightened, but fortunately, I didn’t notice that, so I quietly kept my mouth shut and returned to the place where the swordsman and his pupil were.

The two stayed almost the same as they were before we left, as if they hadn’t had a separate conversation while Yeo Xiaochun and I were gone.

Swordsman still had a hard face, but I felt a trembling that I couldn’t hide from his face, worried about what I would say.

The disciple’s side… Already seemed to be in a state of detachment.

Judging from the fact that earlier he said it was okay to die peacefully, it seems that he has no desire to live.

“Um… So, let’s sort things out first.”

I first organized the situation of the Sword Master and his disciple in order to resolve this stiff atmosphere.

“Gunshu-nim, your apprentice hurt me for the rest of my life, but you’re sorry that you left me unattended without being able to take care of me like that?”

“…It’s only natural that this happened because I was wrong in educating my disciples. In particular, destroying a soldier’s danteon is more serious than taking their lives. It’s not just a level of injury that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.”

‘Can I call it unmanned…’

At that time, my… No, did this body become third-rate?

Not all third-rates are third-rate just because they have learned martial arts.

You have to be able to do something with martial arts to still be considered third-rate. I know what my body is like, but considering that I was young, I wouldn’t be third-rate.

Breaking the dantian of real warriors would certainly be more cruel than taking their lives, but the dantian of the body of that time doesn’t seem to be worth that much.

Of course, it was true that it was very dangerous, and it was true that it was fatal to the extent that I didn’t know what would happen if I hadn’t met Master, but…

Well, it’s already past, and isn’t it the swordmaster’s fault?

It’s what the swordmaster’s disciple did.

He even said that he even cut his disciple’s throat because of that, so there was no need for the swordsman to feel more guilty.

“I’m OK.”

It was only now that I was able to understand the identity of the fact that the swordmaster had been strangely uncomfortable with me.

I thought it was because I was shy because of my upright personality and the age difference that was so big in dating, but I could never have guessed that it was a feeling of guilt.

“…Now what..”

“It’s something I don’t even remember anyway, and I’m healed now, so there’s no need to feel so guilty. In the future, we have to live under the same roof, but what if you keep feeling uncomfortable about that?”

“Ha, but I was wrong in educating my disciples…”

“I think you did a good job educating the disciple.”

– Glance

While saying that, I looked in the direction where the Sword Master’s apprentice was.

Seeing that his personality has been so naive since he was 14 years old, much younger than when he broke the dantian, I don’t think the swordsman did anything wrong with his discipleship training.

There must have been a change of heart at some point.

“And when Swordsman’s pupil broke my danteon, he must have been a grown adult, but Swordsman doesn’t have to take responsibility. If you’re a minor, you don’t know.

“…It’s natural for a teacher to take responsibility for his pupil’s mistakes, even if he gets older..”

“Ah, I’m just saying to get rid of such naive thoughts. Can we live under one roof with such a generation gap?”

“Three, generation gap…”

“The Swordsman helped me quite a bit when traveling with me, and saved my life several times, right? Let’s say I paid it back with that. Or is it because you hate me now? Are you trying to break off your engagement at this point?”

“Oh no!”

-Gasp!

At my words, Sword Master hurriedly grabbed my shoulder and brought his face closer.

“Oh, you misunderstood! Me, I… I’m afraid you’ll hate me for cheating on you… You can break off the engagement if you want, it’s absolutely not that I hate you! Now, I can’t imagine life without you. I can’t even…”

“Yes. That’s all.”

-Side

I pushed out his tiptoe toward Swordhu, who brought his face closer, and kissed him on the lips.

“Uh, uh…”

“People need to know how to live a little selfishly. I know you’re naive, but keep being selfless like that. If you live without thinking about yourself and only think about others, you get sick. Don’t you know how dangerous mental illness is? It’ll take, but what’s scarier than that is a mental illness, right?”

“Ah, I know…”

“Someone who knows that!”

“Mi-I’m sorry!”

“It’s all about saying sorry! I’ll fix it in the future, I won’t fix it!”

“Go, I’ll try to fix it!”

“I’m not trying, I’m fixing it!”

“I’ll fix it!”

“Yes. That’s how it’s a little bit of a human life.”

It’s Swordsman himself. He doesn’t want to be hated by me, so you’d think he was a selfish person who hid the fact that he did something wrong, but in my eyes, he’s really stupidly selfless.

People should live a little selfishly.

“Now. If you’ve decided to live selfishly, tell me what you want to do the most right now.”

“Hey, are you talking here?”

“Why? You said you would fix it, but was it a lie?”

“Ah, no.. But isn’t it a bit embarrassing to say it openly..”

“What are you ashamed of! People should know how to be honest with their desires! Tell me quickly!”

“Eww…”

What does that naive person want to do the most?

It could be spending a lot of money and hanging out, or wanting to eat alcohol and meat to the stomach, or giving up training and just lying around.

In fact, at this point, I was also curious.

Indeed, the swordsman’s desire…

“I-I want to have intercourse with you!”

…What..

“…”

“Yes, just like before, hold on to your fallen legs and deep…”

“Gee, sword.. Just tell me that much. You have a disciple next to you.”

“…Hot!”

“…”

I quietly covered my face with my hands.

It really just felt like I was the root of all evil.
