Chapter 99 – Chapter 7 – Time

“Ah, okay. I’ll try to fix it for now. I can’t help it if it’s already too late…”

After brushing Yeo So-cheon, he left the Moorim-maeng with his hand at least a little bit trembling.

Rumors might have spread in the meantime, so I just calmly headed to Dang Ah-young’s house.

Even though I was worried in many ways when I heard that I was looking forward to the night I heard this morning, I still thought it would be safer(?) Than going out in this situation.

As Yeo So-cheon said, Dang A-yeong’s side was a place where safety was fairly guaranteed.

-Smart

“So-so-so… I’m here…”

– Woe!

She knocked and before she could finish her words, the door opened and Dang Aying pulled me.

-Bang!

In the blink of an eye, I entered the house and the door was shut tight.

-Clap!

Even the lock on the door passed by my eyes in an instant

“Fortunately, you’re here soon, aren’t you?”

When she came to her senses, Dang Ah-yeong was standing in front of her.

-Gulp

“Mu, of course. You promised. I’ll be back soon.”

“Honestly, I was worried that he would say that and run away again, so I let the person go… But it looks like he came home right away. It’s commendable.”

– Suk seuk seuk

“Haha..”

I couldn’t help but smile at her gentle hand stroking my hair.

Doesn’t that mean I was being watched without my knowledge?

-Gulp

‘Let’s keep our minds straight…’

I shouldn’t have forgotten that I’m managing the fishery right now.

In order to do so, control of information was essential.

If I didn’t solve this stalking, it was almost certain that I would be caught in an instant.

“So, are you ready to answer now?”

Like Lu Xiaochun, she demanded an answer in a situation that pushed me against the wall.

In this situation, the excuse that I don’t know what I’m talking about won’t help.

There would have been no other thing to talk about in the yard where they had already met her father and talked about marriage.

‘Whoa…’

-Tok tok

After patting her chest with her hands and taking a deep breath, she prepared to open her mouth.

She was really nervous and worried as she spoke, but she had to answer now.

Because it couldn’t be delayed any longer.

“Sojeo… Actually…”

So she spat out the answer she had prepared with her trembling mouth.

I know it’s really bad

I know it’s really selfish, but

I was in a situation where I couldn’t give her the answer she wanted.

So prepared answer.

“I… Don’t have family, but I do have people who are like family. I told you before, right? There’s a master who went into lung training.”

“…Yes. Did you?”

“By the way… As a disciple, I thought I couldn’t make a decision on a serious matter like marriage without letting Master know…”

-Gulp

In real time, I could see Dang Ah-yeong’s eyes narrowing.

It was proof that he didn’t like my answer.

“About a year to a year and a half from now… Please wait until Master comes out of the closing ceremony.”

“…”

“Isn’t that right? As a disciple, you can’t decide such an important matter without notifying Master, who is like your only family, right? Immorality?”

It may sound like an excuse, but it was an excuse that could be fully understood by the common sense of this world.

In this world, the teacher-teacher relationship is almost like that of parents and children, and sometimes it’s even stronger than that.

So, to make it easy to understand what I am saying now, it is like this.

You can’t get married without telling your parents.

It was a convincing enough argument even by this world standard, but

-Beep beep

It was questionable whether that would be accepted by Dang Ah-young.

Even if you make a persuasive argument, whether it is persuasive is a different matter.

“..Are you very close with Master?”

“Yes? Yes. After picking me up from being abandoned in a back alley with no ability, he fed me, clothed me, and taught me knowledge and skills.”

“…Ha. Yes. Well, of course. You must be close to Master. It’s okay.”

Dang Aying sighed and put a hand between her forehead.

It just didn’t look like he was in a good mood.

While contemplating whether to add anything more here

“..Ah really. Okay, okay. Really. It’s a cowardly excuse, but it’s an excuse that I have no choice but to accept.”

Dang Aying raised her hands and opened her mouth.

“Well, then…”

“Yes. Do that. As you said, marriage is a serious matter. You should inform Master. But you can’t drag someone who has entered closed-gwan training. You have no choice but to wait.”

“…!”

Things went so well that I tried to let out cheers without even realizing it, but I barely held it back.

Because it was like crazy.

“But what will you do if your master is against the marriage?”

“Uh..”

I hadn’t even thought about it until now.

To be honest, my plan was to jump into the mountains after buying time like this.

But since you asked the question…

‘Master..’

When Master came out of the closed training, how would he react when he heard that he was going to get married right away?

…

“…Maybe it will be fine?”

“Really?”

“Yes.. You probably won’t say anything..”

I couldn’t bear to tell the truth.

First of all, if you get caught ignoring Master’s words to wait while Master is in closed training and running out, it’s obvious that you’ll be scolded. In the meantime, get married?

-Shaking

He doesn’t usually get angry, but I was sure he would be angry.

“Eh, even if you object, I’ll convince you.”

“Really?”

“No, of course. I made Sojeo wait for a year. I can’t do that then.”

To be honest, I wasn’t thinking about what happened next.

I did it thinking only of buying time right now.

You may think it’s irresponsible, but it was inevitable.

I couldn’t think of anything other than this, and if I couldn’t make a proper excuse, I would have to get married.

And if you do get married, no matter how hard you try to hide it, the news will eventually reach the swordsman’s ears.

‘…It’s the end as it is.’

In that moment, my life was over.

So right now, somehow stopping Dang Ah-yeong was the top priority.

It was like flipping a card.

It was a one-dimensional act of creating another debt to pay off an existing debt, but why would people on Earth do such a thing?

It’s urgent right now, but that’s the only way to do it.

– Rattling

“But why do you shiver so much? Are you cold by any chance?”

“Oh, no. It’s just… I’m feeling a little sick…”

My head ached again at the thought of having to come up with a countermeasure for the time I was successful in earning, but the relief that I lived right now came.

‘Yeah.. Let’s rest for a bit..’

There were a lot of difficult things today, and now that I’ve managed to solve one, I was going to rest for today.

“Hey…But you know…”

“…?”

“Then… The marriage was postponed, but now it’s almost… You can think of it as an engagement relationship, right?”

Dang Ah-yeong’s words brought her to her senses again.

“…That..”

‘I have to answer well.’

Depending on this answer, the time he had just earned might be useless.

Her head was spinning furiously, and she began to look for the best answer.

Denial was once eliminated.

It was an answer that could only make the situation worse.

‘This too… If you delay the answer…’

Like the instant marriage, I thought about delaying this one, but it was risky.

She might be able to get over it right away, but her answer to wait for her again in a situation where she had to manage her in the future was not very good.

Then there was only one answer left.

“..Yes. That’s right.”

Positive.

One step back for two steps forward. It was an affirmation that I chose with a feeling like a carrot and a stick.

At this point, I had to give up once.

– Kwak!

The moment she heard my answer, she grabbed my shoulder.

Dang Ah-ying, with a highly agitated expression, was breathing hard in front of my eyes.

“Well, then… If you’re engaged…”

“…”

“Can I… Can I?”

Clearly, her eyes, which seemed clear until this morning, were stained with lust.

Is her blushing cheeks due to her emotions?

Or is it because of the red sunset seen through the window?

I couldn’t tell them apart

-Sreuk

I thought carefully as I took off my clothes.

I guess I’m going to have a hard time tonight too.

* * *

– Tok… Tok…

A barren land far from the midfield.

In the midfield, the Demonic Cult with the meaning of humiliation.

Here, the soldiers of the place called Cheonma Shinkyo frowned and looked at the information that came to him.

‘Is this possible or something?’

He was the one who looked at and judged all the information coming from the trio, but the information that came this time was quite hard to believe even for him.

‘The ability to foresee the future close to prophecy…’

Since ancient times, there have been many scammers claiming to know how to see the future, and at first, they saw this information and thought they were scammers.

But this time I couldn’t think of it that way.

It was because it was the swordsman of the political faction who told me that information.

He is a rare righteous person even in the political faction full of hypocrisy, and he is one of the few people who are evaluated as ‘if it’s her, you can trust her’ even here with suspicion first.

‘I know he’s not a liar, but… I don’t know.’

However, the military is basically a position where you have to doubt and see all information at once.

Even if those words came from the mouth of a swordsman who had accumulated good perceptions for decades, he couldn’t believe them.

“Whoa…”

He wiped his glasses and let out a deep sigh.

His head hurt, but recently he was deeply skeptical of the Protestant military position.

It was natural.

The Cheonma Shinkyo was basically a place with a chauvinistic tendency, and it was a place that had maintained its ambition to conquer the central plains for hundreds of years.

Right now, the former headteacher. Even before that. And even before that. All the leaders of the Heavenly Demon Church did not question that the goal of the religion was to conquer the Middle Kingdom and always worked hard for it.

Among them, there were definitely religious leaders who went to the brink of putting Joongwon under the feet of the Protestant Church.

However, this lecture was different.

[It’s bothering.]

As if everything in life is boring, he shuts himself in his place and pays no attention to Protestantism, let alone conquering the Central Plains.

He did not listen to the pleas and pleas of the feudal lords at all, and occasionally showed his face at events within the Protestant church, rarely revealing himself to the church members.

He did not pay a single glance to the other church members, including himself, who paid attention to conquering the midfield.

He doesn’t do anything except occasionally call the church members who have accomplished great things and force them to sit at the drinking table in the name of a prize to enjoy the initiative.

Nor was he burning time for training like his previous masters.

Of a group at all. Although she was not befitting the name of the supreme being of Protestantism, she had no one to directly express her dissatisfaction or raise a rebellion against her.

Because there was no one in the world who could rebel against the true meaning of the absolute who had killed the previous leader and ascended to the highest position.

‘Is it meaningful for me to work like this?’

He sighed as he set the information in his hand down on his desk.

He did not show any interest in conquering the Middle Kingdom for decades, but he could not disobey her orders.

If you have an interesting story, bring it.

An order to pass the time of the boring absolute.
