The Swordsman Hid His Apprentice 47

Chapter 47 – 47. Everyday Life

After a moment of confusion, our priest regained his composure and asked the clerk to pay the bill. According to the price the clerk said, he took the money out of his pocket and handed it over.
Then, when Master’s gaze turned elsewhere for a moment, he whispered to the clerk secretly on a small screen so he wouldn’t notice.

“Hey. Do you know of any places where I can go to play with my lover?”
“No. This guest, when he said he saw me, the young man squeaks with flat words-.”

Jiggle.

When the golden metal fell into the clerk’s hand, the nervous face disappeared and returned to the clerk’s kind face again.
Surprisingly, the appearance of excellent self-control seemed to be better at cultivating the mind than a warrior.

He spoke in a low enough volume that I could hear him, probably trying not to let Master hear.

“Just today, the Hwaheumakga is holding a party for the 60th birthday of Taesanggaju. They say that they don’t just have a party inside the academy, but also come out on the roadside and have a performance procession. They set up a small stall along the road, so if you go there with your lover, you should have a good time.”
“Thanks for letting me know.”
“Ugh. That’s the attitude you should take to a customer.”

Saying that, it was the clerk who quietly put the golden ruler in his hand into his bosom. I was fortunate to meet a clerk with a strong work ethic.

“Ugh. Thank you for using it!”

After finishing the errands, I turned around and left the store with Master and the clerk seeing me off.
Master clasped my hands and walked side by side and said,

“The clerk is quite kind. I don’t think he’s been like that before.”
“It seems like they were grateful because they bought expensive items.”
“I guess so.”

Master nodded and agreed, wrapping her wagging tail around my waist.
Then he whispered to me in a secret voice.

“Now, where should we go next? If it’s good for the student, then this teacher can get a room in the inn right now?”
“It’s not yet time for that. Please have a little more patience.”
“Tch. Wasn’t it your fault as a pervert disciple that made this master like this? Hmm.”

Seeing Master already making plans to make rice cakes, I first thought that I had made this person like this. No, considering the fact that he is a nine-tailed fox, he may have been this kind of personality originally and was just suppressed all the time.

Master strained to let go of her hand and held it from my side with strength and said,

“Today, Hwaheumakga is holding a party for the 60th birthday of Taesanggaju. They come out to the roadside and march to perform, and after that they set off firecrackers.”
“Oh. Did he say that?”

He reacted right away as if it was acting. Hagishi, firecrackers are a rare thing.

“It’s a firecracker. It’s an item that uses gunpowder, so it’s expensive, but it looks like the Hwaheumakga is preparing it well.”
“By the way, I know that Hwaheum musicians practice music, but were the three of them an excellent family?”

Hwaheumakmun was an unheard-of place even for me, who was a regressor and shared all the knowledge with my colleagues through indoctrination. However, it was a family that could use even the precious firecrackers to see it as a deaf boy.
Firecrackers made of gunpowder, which is also a material for walleye bombs, are of course items that can be used under strict management and supervision.

It was impossible to use it recklessly as the coffin was watching it, but it was hard to understand that it was used for a 60th birthday party like this. I don’t know if it’s a top-notch family like the five generations.

Master said to me like that.

“Come to think of it, you don’t know. Hmm.”

Master, immersed in contemplation for a while, seemed to organize the information in his head on how to explain it to me.
After narrowing down the information, Master asked me.

“Disciple. What place comes to mind when you think of the famous Wenpa in Shaanxi?”
“That’s right, the Volcano faction is the best, followed by the Jongnam faction.”
“So what else?”
“…Sorry. I don’t know.”
“No. There are two high-ranking old schools in this small city, so it’s only natural that there are few famous ones. So, apart from the two factions, the middle-ranked samurai are bound to be famous.”
“It’s Sadu Yongmi (蛇頭龍尾).”
“It’s like that.”

It means that it is better to be the head of a snake than the tail of a dragon, and it is better to pretend to be the leader in a small water than to be the lowest in a large water.
Hagisa, no matter how big and wide the Huashan Faction and Zhongnan Faction are, they cannot manage the entire area of ​​Shaanxi Province. Of course, there will be a force that builds a cooperative system under his command, and among them, there will be a place that plays the role of a middle leader.

It was only natural that ordinary civilians would be more terrified of the midfielder Munpa and the fists of the family right in front of them than the Maehwa swordsmen who trained on that high volcano.

That’s why they treat them so hard, and they respond so much to the good people.

“In that sense, the Hwaheumakga is quite high among the small and medium powers that have built cooperation with our Hwahwamakga.
“You said you were pushed from the volcanic wave?”
“Isn’t it rare to see Hwaheumakga as a martial artist succeeding Yingong, who uses musical instruments as weapons, not weapons? Usually, Yingong warriors are excellent at wiping and take an advantage in one-on-one combat.”
“That’s right. There are already a lot of swordsmen, so we pushed those who used rare Yin Gong so that the Volcano Squad could receive cooperation in what they lacked. The Volcano Squad made a wise choice.”
“Yes. That’s the correct answer.”

Master nodded his head in satisfaction and crossed his arms as if he felt much better. I also felt better at the touch of my forearm.

You did a great job. He raises his arm as if he is putting a stamp on it and taps my head.
Because he was shorter than me, he raised his arms high, and because of that, his armpits were exposed. Looking at his hairless, smooth, hairless armpits, I felt something attractive.

“As the saying goes, with the emergence of demons one after another these days, certain circumstances might put us in trouble. So, rather than being simple and ignorantly strong, it was necessary to be versatile in various fields. They hire people who are good at geography and go with them.”
“…Okay.”
“Hmm? You don’t like the expression. What’s wrong?”
“No. I’m wondering if something comes to my mind or not, but I can’t remember it very well. If I can’t remember, it shouldn’t have been that important.”

I shook my head and brushed off my worries. If it’s really important, you won’t have to worry because you’ll remember it later.
Among the important memories that my colleagues told me, there was no particular Hwaheumakga.

After that, I passed the time appropriately by playing ornaments or traditional games, and then moved to watch the performance procession.

After hearing the news, I bought two seats by giving money to a small merchant who occupied my seat and prepared a seat. As the number of people increased, Master looked around to see if she was concerned about whether the magic of cognitive decline was working properly.
I, who was sitting next to me, held Master’s hand.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. The cognitive decline is working properly.”
“Uhm. You made me worry for nothing. I was worried that Hwaheumakga might break through the cognitive decline because they are the ones who specialize in the yin-gong.
“…”

When I brought up the topic of my age, I pretended not to hear anything behind it because I knew that it was a landmine no matter what I stepped on.
Although he noticed my consideration and immediately glared at him from the side with sullen eyes. Still, I pretended not to know.

However, our master also had a persistent side, so he didn’t take his eyes off him.
A cold sweat began to flow from the prolonged exposure to that corner of the eye. Beads of sweat were forming and they were descending down his spine.

“Ah. Let’s begin, Master.”
“Tch. You seem like a lucky guy.”
“…”

The musical instruments used by the warriors in Hwaheumakga were string instruments. When the string is plucked, the sound vibrates appropriately and resonates throughout the downtown area.
As soon as I heard it, I could tell that it was not a pure performance, but that it was being played with music.

It was because the faint air power shimmering in my ears was making a little annoying noise.

However, it will sound like a top-notch performance to most people, unless, like me, they can sense even the slightest energy. It seems to be a skill that strangely dazzles the opponent, but it seems to be really optimized for attracting attention.
Perhaps, if he performed such a performance in the Demonic Realm, he would be able to properly attract the attention of low-level youkai below the Blue Demonic Realm.
If they rushed at the performer in a state of fascination like that, the other warriors would be able to safely deal with the monsters.

‘Since they were called sons and daughters, if they were at the level of a family head or an elder, they could be transcendence or hwagyeong, so they must be able to play an active part in the golden demon realm.’

In the current martial arts, if you can show outstanding performance in the Golden Magician, you can be treated as a prestigious person, so it was only natural that the hwaeumakga is showing success now.
That’s how I held hands with Master and watched all the performance marches together.

When the people who formed the performance march greeted each other with a pokwon ceremony for the last time, something surged along with the sound of something exploding.
Like a dragon flying from a stream, the beam of light rises high and explodes once more, embroidering a picture in the air.
Looking at the firecrackers depicting flowers reminiscent of plum blossoms, it seemed that they had a purpose to claim that they were a force under the Volcano Faction. As long as you didn’t abuse it, it didn’t really matter.

Back.

Then, suddenly, I felt strength go into Master’s grip.
Master’s eyes twinkled dimly as he watched the firecrackers exploding high up there. Emotions seemed to fluctuate.

Watching the feast of firecrackers exploding like that, Master muttered softly.

“So beautiful.”

In response, I tightened my grip slightly and turned Master’s attention to me.

“Then, let’s go watch it together next time. It was said to be a party for the singer Taesang’s 60th birthday, so we won’t do it again when it’s sold out. We can come again then. … I don’t know if there will be more people.”
“…”

Master, who understood the meaning of the remark, was dumbfounded.
He’s not stupid, and he couldn’t have known. If things go well, it might be peaceful even ten years from now.

After that, Master’s eyes became clearer, and after squeezing his hand so much that it hurt a little, he got up from the spot and started dragging me somewhere.

Master, who had brought me to a place known for its high-end inn and rumored to be expensive, entered the inn with terrifying spirit. Even if I don’t use my history, I can’t help but sympathize with that Jeom So-i, who was hit head-on with the spirit of a provincial level master.

With such a formidable spirit, Master said powerfully that there was no refusal.

“Deafening. Working out room. One.“
Hehe?! Yes, yes! I see!”

Jeom So-yi goes to get the key in a hurry.
And I, who have excellent five senses, could smell the faint but disgusting smell. I’m sorry about something, so I’ll have to put in more trouble later.

While he was thinking that, Master turned his head and sent a blazing, passionate gaze and said,

“Student. I want to enjoy the greatest joy as a woman as well, but I know that it is not yet the right time for the situation. . So-“

Master, standing on tiptoe, whispered in my ear.

“To our disciple, this master’s… Cow, Precious thingsGive me.”
