Chapter 16 – 16. My Master

Master opened his eyes, which had become more profound, as if the realization had ended. Master smiled happily as he looked at me as he stood guard for several hours.

“Looks like you’ve alleviated your worries a little.”
“It’s all thanks to Master’s grace.”
“It’s up to you to realize and accept that. The reason why you don’t listen to the old man’s nagging is because you’re a good disciple.”

Still, the master who proudly speaks of me who has changed like this with his own advice, proudly blooming his chest. However, I hope he doesn’t call himself old.
I feel old after 1,000 mental years.

Now that I am young, I hope that Master, who has become young through half-romanticism, can live a younger life. Just by looking at my cock and screaming, I knew right away that he wasn’t enjoying life, he was living his life as a swordsman with a sword.

“Master, you are still young, so please don’t say that.”
“Huh-huh. Seeing how you look stiff, it seems like I’m still a familiar face.”
“Because Master is beautiful.”
“…”

It was often my role to be speechless during conversations, but this time it seemed to be stolen by Master.

Master, who was momentarily bruised by my quick-tempered speech, regained his senses and glared at me with sullen eyes. Could it be that you feel it’s a lie? Hagisa, it is the trend of the present era that young men avoid women even if they have had a half-romantic transformation in this era, for women who are at an age when they could not get married and become rotten and turned into oil.

If you think about it from Master’s point of view, you might have accepted it as a kind of mockery after a moment’s thought and calculation.

“Tsk. I didn’t know my pupil had such a flattering three-inch tongue. Spouting nonsense about being beautiful to an old man who has reached his 60th birthday. It’s disappointing.”
“Umm. It’s a pity that you didn’t believe me, this disciple.”
“You still say that. Even if you’re not my teacher, it’s a big mistake to make fun of a woman like that.”
“I just fell for Master.”
“…”

This time, Master’s mouth fell open. Perhaps doubting his ears for a moment, Master pricks his ear with his ring finger and digs out almost no wax. It is a reaction that he never dreamed that there would be a young man who said he fell in love with him who had reached his 60th birthday.
Although this is normal.

I am aware that my view on love has diverged considerably from that of the general public due to dating while living in an extreme survival environment, but what can I do with a good thing?

Besides, since my mental age is 1,000, I don’t feel that the age gap with Master is that great. In the same old situation. Of course, both bodies are full of blood.

But you can’t win her heart just by pushing her. Master heard my sincerity and was a bit confused, so I gave him a little time to organize his thoughts and changed the subject of the conversation.

“More than that, Master. Congratulations on reaching the highest level.”
“Oh, um… Thank you.”

It was an unnatural attitude, perhaps because he suddenly felt awkward at the confession, but I didn’t care. It’s only natural to feel confused when someone younger than you, with an age difference of nearly half a century, suddenly confesses that he has fallen in love with a child he accepted as his disciple.

“Master, I hope you don’t treat this student so hard. I fell for you, but that doesn’t mean you fell for me. I don’t have the heart to answer my feelings, so please treat me as usual.”
“…I see. By the way, I thought you were cold-hearted even though you had a fiery polar limb and even a thousand killers, but in this area, you don’t retreat like a wild boar.”
“If you fall for it, shouldn’t you confess like a man?”

The woman she dated from the future broke me over and over again because I didn’t confess to her first. Since she couldn’t step on that same train, she made a vow that if she was sure of my heart from then on, she would start with a confession that was close to her confession. She said that my sweetheart would do the same, she smirked.

At my explanation, Master made a puzzled expression and asked with a puzzled face.

“Who told you to do that?”
“My lover in the past supported me saying that it would be good to do that.
“…”
“Master?”

Why is she putting on the face of a detective who seems to have cleared her doubts by finding the culprit who caused the incident?

It was Master who suddenly glared at me with sparkling eyes, like a person who had been convinced by himself and then suddenly remembered that he had forgotten an important fact.

“By the way, disciple. Did you say something to seduce this master while you have a lover?”
“I don’t really have a lover right now.

Wince

“Mi-I’m sorry. I said it without thinking too much.”
“No. If the current master asks, you’re the Buddha’s disciple. I’m willing to talk about anything.”

Apparently, Master thinks that my ex-lover is dead. Rather than dying, she is just fighting a desperate fight to ensure her survival in the future. Well, it’s so bad that it wouldn’t be strange if he actually died anytime, so it’s safe to think so. Still, I felt uncomfortable, and I suddenly felt depressed.

Did my feelings show through on the outside? Seeing me, Master seemed to feel guilty, and his shoulders shrank.

“Rather than that, how is the time now?”
“It’s late at night, full of moonlight and starlight. The branch manager called someone in the middle, but I said it well and sent it back. Still, I think I’ll have to talk to the branch manager tomorrow.”
“Well. If you say you attacked the Demonic Realm, the surrounding forces will be noisy, but this case was so unusual.”

Usually, the Devil’s Land doesn’t attack in a hurry, like roasting beans over a fire of lightning. It’s because you start attacking after you get all the monster’s secrets, elixirs, or spirit herbs that can be obtained by attacking the entire demon world as much as possible.

As long as they monopolized all the resources provided by a single demon race, the minor faction grew to the point of becoming a small and medium-level sect, so there was a high possibility that people around them would make noise asking why they defeated the demon racer right away. But what if Ju-jak becomes a great monster that will be difficult even for Hyeong-gyeong to come when he fully grows up?

It was a natural response considering that the North Sea Ice Palace, which was once the strongest single force after the Cheonma Shinkyo, almost collapsed in half due to a demonic landscape where Hyeonmu was located.

But how did the world turn rationally? Even so, it is certain that dissatisfied warriors will come out and rumors will spread that the Sacheon branch manager was overzealous.

So, Master had to come forward and talk to the branch manager, claiming that it was a demonic realm that had to be attacked as soon as possible. Baek Do-jin will also claim that when he wakes up. As a branch manager, I want to hurry up and prepare a countermeasure before being hit by the rebel forces around me.

“Then, the settlement of the demonic realm attack will be carried out after the Baekdo incident?”
“Yes. I heard that.”

There are three contributors, and one of them, Baekdo Jin-in, has become a corpse and is undergoing death and death, so he could not distribute it arbitrarily. At my answer, Master frowned.

“Whoa. Baekdo has to wake up quickly. If he doesn’t wake up, the secular pigs of the Cheongseong faction might make a fuss saying that they should receive the stake as their proxy.”
“If you say something like that in front of Master, I’ll secretly say it later.”
“Ask for it. It’s very annoying if you get caught after that… Or, did you learn the art of killing water?”
“Yes. It’s nothing to brag about, but I think the production of poison is better than the average number of tricksters.”

I’m not an expert, but I’m confident that I’m better than the mid-to-high-level killers who have made a name for themselves in the current era. If you act covertly, your combat power will drop sharply, but it’s not the shaman faction or the army faction, it’s about the Qingseong faction.

Seeing me like that, Master shook his head as if he saw an unavoidable accident. Is it because it is absurd that he is learning the martial arts of the killer, which is different from the general martial arts?

Honestly, if there was such a guy, I wondered if he would be a regressor like me or a novel hero.

“If you’re good at making poison, you must be good at medicine itself. So, isn’t it lucky that you can’t cure white peaches?”
“The firearm itself was already taken off when I moved to the city. I left it to them because they would be better at treating me than I am.”
“Is that so? Then it’s done.”

Maybe he expected the answer, but Master showed no regrets on his face. That’s because Baek Do-jin’s injury was serious.

“Then, luckily, you should also go back to the room assigned to you. It’s a teacher-teacher relationship, but if it becomes known that a man and a woman are together until midnight, nothing good will happen to each other.”
“It’s good for a disciple if such rumors spread, but if it’s Master’s order. This disciple, I’ll go back.”
“…”

There was no answer from Master.
