Chapter 26 – Chapter 3 – Doubt
‘I didn’t even know that…’
I went back and looked at the back of the faceless golden ear enjoying a drink.
Could it be that she was drinking because of that story?
It hurt her heart because she felt like she treated someone with such a past without even knowing it.
“Oh hey, I drank it like that before, and it goes in more? I don’t know if I got sick after that?”
“Not drinking is more scary than getting sick. Now, open another bottle.”
“Heh heh, I’m going to sell it all before it’s really gone.”
The amount of alcohol he had already consumed was staggering, but as if it wasn’t painful, he was pouring it into his glass again.
Thinking that the reason he was drinking so obsessively was to soothe the pain of being betrayed by the woman he trusted made me feel sorry for him.
If you’ve learned martial arts, you might not know, but when a normal person drinks that much, the body will show a rejection reaction.
Still, seeing him without any sign of pain makes me wonder how painful that memory is for him to be able to do that.
Because the pain of the heart is greater than the pain of the body.
In particular, being betrayed by a woman he trusted made him feel even more intimidated when he remembered his disciple work.
‘..Wait for a sec.’
When I looked at his body the other day, I found traces of the destruction of his Danjeon while learning the martial arts of the Volcanic Wave.
At the time, I thought there might be some circumstances, so I didn’t doubt it, but…
‘…’
Betrayed even by the woman you trusted there?
Even if the elements overlapped, they overlapped too much.
‘If..’
An unknown emotion rose from the depths of her heart at the thought that Cotton Gold Gui might be the boy she had been searching for so long.
No matter how wide the midfield is, there can’t be that many people who overlap that much.
– Exciting
‘..I’m not sure.. I’m not..’
I have already met the person suspected of being the boy a few times.
After all, they were all different people.
So even the faceless..
‘..What the hell do I want.’
Every time I thought of finding the boy and apologizing, I was denying the possibility that someone else might be the boy.
You never thought you’d come to this point and still couldn’t clear your mind.
‘..Maybe it’s because it’s been a long time.’
It’s been 10 years.
Rather, a time that is more likely that the child has already lost his life because he could not bear the cold of the world.
In fact, I don’t know what to say even if I’m looking for the boy now.
Every time he said he would apologize, but he couldn’t clearly say how to compensate for his ruined life and time.
As time passed every year, the words I prepared became meaningless.
The time of 10 years was so valuable that it was difficult to say that he would compensate for a child who had not been able to learn at the time.
It was because he had ruined the golden age of his life through his own fault.
Even if he said he would come and find the boy, what could he do to repay the debt?
No, wouldn’t it be rude to dare to appear in front of that boy?
I will rise above the pain and live well. Wouldn’t it be a reminder of painful memories for someone who is supposed to be a young man now?
‘What should I do when I reach the level… I’m still lacking in dealing with people…’
There was nothing wrong with Master’s words that people were more difficult than swords.
“Sozer, are you inside?”
-Fried
I was so deeply engrossed in my sense of shame that I neglected my vigilance of my surroundings, so I was unaware that the faceless demon had approached from outside the carriage.
“Hmmmm, what’s going on?”
“If it’s okay, can I come in?”
“Do whatever you want.”
He removed the tent and entered the carriage.
Seeing him in the middle of the turmoil made a part of his heart ache more.
“Looking at it earlier, it seems like you couldn’t even eat properly because of me, so I brought some food.
The plate he was holding was loaded with food.
I gave the specifications without looking properly.
There was little food that could be eaten at these men’s drinking parties because they were at a high level, so they did not suffer from starving for several meals, and since they were guru, they had to stay away from stimulating food or meat.
“Thank you for being considerate, but the guru…”
“I heard that you stay away from spicy food or meat, so I apologized and avoided it as much as possible.
“…”
It was obviously mostly grains and vegetables, with minimal seasoning.
And
“Where’s the fruit?”
There were also red fruits that had not been seen before.
“Aren’t they merchants? I heard there was fruit among the items, so I paid money to buy it because I wanted to have it. Fortunately, it was fresh.”
“Fruits at this time of year must be expensive…?”
“Didn’t I get a free ride thanks to Sojeo?
I sensed that he was smiling, even though I couldn’t clearly see the face behind the hat.
“Aren’t we supposed to go to Anhui together? If there’s something uncomfortable or obscured by each other, we have to come to terms with each other. A relationship in which one side sacrifices one-sidedly isn’t good. I want to be closer to Soju.”
“What…!”
“Haha, I don’t know many people in the world, so there’s no need to feel pressured.”
It is a common trick.
This sort of trick has been done since time immemorial.
– Flutter flutter
‘I’m a man! How can you be without fidelity!’
It must have been, but her face turned red.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, but I felt a fever in my body.
As he fanned with his hand to cool the heat, he put down his plate and went out of the carriage.
“Oh, and Sojeo. You don’t have to pay too much attention to what I said earlier.”
“I can’t even remember now. That woman.”
-Sreuk
He left the carriage with those words.
“…Was he considerate?”
First of all, I don’t know his situation, and I’m the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one.
‘Yo, these days, late indexes seem to be learning these things separately.’
– Flutter flutter
I thought I had gotten used to it, but the heat that rose to my face did not calm down easily.
“Whoa…”
I never thought I would feel this kind of feeling after getting this old.
Was a scary one
I don’t think I’ve ever heard rumors that women’s relationships are complicated, but it wasn’t something I’d done once or twice.
The emotion felt was pure itself, but the skill was no joke anyway.
– Crunchy
To calm his mind, he brought the food he had brought to his clothes.
I can’t say it’s very tasty, but it was moderately tasty.
And the fruit…
– Crunchy
The juice was very sweet.
A sweet taste lingered in my mouth.

‘There’s nothing wrong with being friendly with a top master.’
It is a state that most unmanned people cannot reach even if they train their whole lives.
He looks like he’s only in his 20s, but at that level, he’s really a monster among monsters.
Being a promising prospect who is expected to rise to a high level in the future.
‘Come to think of it, I wonder if there’s a special issue for that?’
I just don’t know because I’m not familiar with the midfield situation, but if you’re a person like that, you’ll definitely have a special issue unless you’ve been hiding your skills.
‘Volcanic waves… I use a sword, but because I’m a young woman… A sword stick? Sword painting?’
In fact, I don’t even know the rules by which special editions are built, so those two are the only ones I can predict.
Anyway, since it’s called sword painting, I don’t think it’s a special title that has a very good energy.
It’s a special title that I don’t want to get close to because it seems like it will have a bad influence on the person who has or has had it for some reason.
Even if you look like this, you are a fortune teller. This level of energy can be read.
‘Since I’ve also received a promise to pay for alcohol… I’ll have to hang out in Hanam.’
They said they would pay for the drinks until they arrived in Anhui, so that would include while sightseeing in Henan.
He seemed to have been to Hanam before, so if you ask well, you might be able to get help with your trip.
Even if you don’t know it well, it’s beneficial to just hang around by your side.
Isn’t it a peak master?
There was an existence right next to me that completely blew away any worries about hiring a samurai for safety before leaving for a trip.
Her safety while in Hanam is guaranteed just by following her around, and if you make a good impression(?) In advance in this way, you can ask her to go to the place you want.
I didn’t say that if we were uncomfortable with each other or had something to cover up, we should try to match each other.
It’s been a long time since I’ve raised a knife for that.
It’s been 10 years since I cooked grass every day in the mountains.
I knew how to bring out the maximum flavor with the minimum amount of seasoning.
Still, I can’t follow the taste of the world, but it’s not a level that I can’t eat.
It was a skill that even Master sometimes praised.
“Looking at it earlier, your skill at cutting vegetables is not normal. You cook often, don’t you?”
“I used to do it often.”
“Heh heh, I don’t know who her wife is, but she seems to be quite loved. She’s very affectionate with her sword.”
“…”
Affection?
Don’t be funny
There was no affection he would feel for such an eccentric woman.
[Do you see that tree? It’s a tree you planted when you were a Jihak, but it has grown like that before you know it, and you’ve surpassed your height. At that time, it barely reached your knees.]
Such a woman…
“…”
..If you go to Anhui, it might not be a bad idea to find out what gifts women will like.
