Chapter 1046 – 1046. Between Obedience and Affection
“Sorry… I was at a loss as to what help I could give my master with my abilities… I did it because I was distraught. Furthermore, I can’t… Because I can’t calm down…”
“…”
As soon as I heard Lena’s words, I became angry.
The place where the anger was directed was not where my eyes were directed.
‘Ha… ‘Sang Byeong-shin was here.’
The place where the anger was directed was in my head.
Lena’s excessive obedience caused pus to form in her heart, and I was gloating to myself without even being able to properly check it.
First, I had a rough guess as to why Lena’s obedience was so high.
She freed him from the Demon King’s castle, guaranteed him a comfortable life on the ship, and saved the Duchy of Peron and the Duke of Peron.
It kept coming to mind, but out of all of them, this is what I remember most about her.
‘It also helped me meet Ardia.’
It helped me meet a connection from the past.
That would also have had a big impact.
‘I understand why it’s high…’
Now that we know why she has an obedience rating of 110, it’s time to figure out the problem.
Armonia said.
The maximum obedience level can be 100.
However, Lena trusts me infinitely, to the extent that even that maximum is exceeded.
The problem is…
‘You’re probably not satisfied with your current skills.’
When Lena was stronger than me, she helped me many times, and she even saved my life.
I lived my life thinking of Lena as her lover and at the same time as her benefactor.
But at some point, Lena and I’s skills reversed.
Now, I am strong enough to handle the crisis on my own, and strong talents are sprouting up around me.
Viola, Yggdrasil members, etc…
Until recently, they were all crushed by Lena even when they attacked, but at some point, they became much stronger than Lena.
But that doesn’t mean my affection for Lena has changed.
I still love Lena the same way as the first time… No, she could confidently say that she loved him more than before.
But her party, Lena…
“A weak woman like me… “I don’t know what help it will be for my master.”
He lost confidence by comparing himself to the talented people around him.
After hearing Lena’s words like that, I began to feel even more sorry and sorry.
‘… I neglected Lena too much.’
The reason I neglected it was not because my interest in Lena had disappeared.
It was because her effort and talent were far superior to others.
A woman who went to war against the Demon King, the protagonist of a world, and even made him feel threatened.
Lena had already developed such abilities on her own before meeting me.
So, she decided that it would be better to give people the joy of growing on their own rather than just providing help, so she created this practice room.
But the result looks like this.
Excessive obedience and inability to keep up with that obedience.
The Lena I know is not a woman who compares herself to others and feels envious or jealous.
If she had been alone, it wouldn’t have been a big problem, but as the number of women around me increased, I started comparing myself even when I didn’t want to.
And Lena’s heart, which she had endured until now, gradually cracked, and she eventually reached the point where her water was leaking out.
‘Now let’s find a solution.’
Water began to leak from the huge dam.
If it is not repaired immediately, the dam may burst and an irreparable disaster will occur.
The restoration method is simple.
‘Just make Lena stronger.’
There are countless ways to make yourself stronger.
‘You can cultivate your Danjeon and learn martial arts, or it would be good to learn magical power and use magic.’
There are countless ways to make Lena stronger.
And there is also a key to execute the method.
You must meet the owner of the key.
“Lena, follow me.”
“Yes… Master. But where are you going… ?”
I held Lena’s helpless hand and led her.
“Just follow me.”
After saying that, I dragged Lena and headed to her office in Armonia.
.
.
After hearing my explanation, Armonia apologized to Lena with a serious expression.
“Lena, I should have noticed a long time ago, but I’m sorry for not noticing.”
“Oh, no! It’s not Mr. Armonia’s fault…”
Rather, Lena is embarrassed.
It would be embarrassing and deathly painful for Lena.
However, thanks to Armonia’s apple, Lena seemed to have relieved some of her burden.
Originally, feelings are conveyed through daily actions, but sincerity is conveyed through words.
But I had no intention of just relieving the burden and ending it.
“Personally, I think it’s good to make Danjeon bloom. What do you think of Armonia?”
“It seems like a good way.”
A positive answer immediately flowed out.
“The sword used by Lena and the sword used in martial arts have different shapes, but ultimately have the same sword shape. I think you will get used to it quickly.”
“But… “Rena and Namgung Yuha use different swords, but ultimately their swordsmanship skills are the same.”
“More than anything, Lena’s body is far superior to that of an ordinary person. You will get used to it quickly.”
“Ah…”
The humans in Lena’s hometown had stronger bodies than those in other worlds.
I tend to fight based on my strong body rather than special abilities such as magic power or resistance.
And Lena’s genes were also blessed by such a hometown.
In the first place, the sword Lena uses now is several times heavier than the sword used by Namgung Yuha.
“Lena’s body is strong.”
Upon hearing what I said, Lena blushed and lowered her head.
“S-sorry. Because her body is strong…”
“No, I actually meant it was good…”
I was embarrassed and tried to calm Lena down.
Armonia looked at me and Lena and naturally continued her speech.
“More than anything, the martial arts ranking written by Suho remains in the ship’s data. If you use it, you will be able to learn martial arts easily.”
Perfect.
Yes, if just one thing is done, everything is perfect.
“Then it means that Danjeon needs to bloom.”
“That’s right.”
If you can’t bloom your dantian, everything we’ve discussed so far will become just chatter.
Armonia raised her spear.
====================
[Disconnection (disabled)]
====================
“Oh… I’m glad. “There is a Danjeon.”
Armonia shook her head expressionlessly at my relief.
“Dantian exists in all beings. For reference, Beatrice and Kang Han-na also have it.”
What? One person’s name is missing?
Siho, you are a soul without a body, so even if you don’t exist…
“Huh? “What about viola?”
In response to my question, Armonia shook her head with an expressionless expression.
“As the ether settled in, the dantian disappeared.”
“…”
It was there, but it’s gone.
While she was looking at me dumbfounded, she explained that Armonia was not a big problem.
“They say it’s gone, but in effect the ether is taking over,” She said. It’s actually better, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Ah… Then I’m glad.”
I continued the conversation, relieved that there was no problem.
“All you have to do is flower the Danjeon.”
There are two ways to make Danjeon bloom.
One is Enel.
“You said it would cost 1 million Enel to make a Danjeon bloom, right?”
“That’s right.”
How to force flowering using 1 million Enel.
But discussing the method…
“Lord, master! Armonia! “Spending 1 million Enel is such a big waste!”
It created a side effect that further increased Lena’s burden.
If Lena didn’t have her concept of Enel, she would have accepted it well.
However, after spending a long time on the ship, Lena learned the value of Enel.
The weight of 1 million Enel.
Lena seemed to be having a hard time bearing the weight.
“Lena, calm down first. “It’s just one way.”
I tried to calm Lena down and put another method into her mouth.
“It would be better to teach Danjeon breathing and then guide it myself.”
I am using the same method I used when I bloomed Danjeon.
“Suho, what you said is correct. First, proceed with the flowering process with Suho’s help, and if you fail, you can then go ahead and proceed with the first method.”
“1 million Enel…”
Lena seemed to feel another burden at Armonia’s words.
If the power plant fails to bloom, it is no different from saying that 1 million Enel will be spent.
I understood Lena’s burden.
I reassured her, placing my hand on Lena’s shoulder.
“Lena, don’t be burdened. “I don’t mind spending the 3 million Enels I have on you at all.”
“Ah… Master…”
Fortunately, my reassurance seemed to have paid off, and Lena returned with a calm appearance.
Obviously, pressure is an important factor when learning something.
Because pressure can become a driving force for growth.
But now Lena’s burden, rather than her driving force, was just an obstacle like a huge mountain blocking her path.
And the reason I recommended Danjeon Flowering to restore Lena’s confidence was for a reason other than compatibility.
‘If you focus on Danjeon breathing or martial arts, you will be able to shake off the burden.’
I wanted to give Lena something to focus on.
Random thoughts crawl out of darkness, not silence.
Even if you feel calm in your head, you will be able to regain peace of mind if your surroundings are covered with beautiful scenery.
‘Becoming stronger is a bonus.’
Lena becoming stronger is only a secondary factor.
What I really want is to calm Lena’s mind.
However, there was another problem.
“Oh right. It will take a few days to teach breathing…”
We will now arrive at the Shutra area tomorrow.
Normally, I would have wandered around different areas to take my time…
“You said you had to go down to Shutra as soon as you arrived, right?”
“That’s right.”
I was so busy at Zodiac that I couldn’t spend time anywhere else.
But surprisingly, my concerns were easily resolved.
“I think you two can go together.”
“Ah!”
As Armonia said, just go together and that’s it.
While I take classes during the day, Lena stays on the ship and helps me with Danjeon breathing at night.
If the situation arises, I don’t mind coming to the ship.
“The Suit mission has less time constraints and the area is safe, so I think it would be a good idea for Lena to go there as a change of pace.”
“Aha~”
After listening to Armonia’s advice, the whole plan came together.
‘Because it would be stuffy if you stayed in my room. It would be okay to have them stay in the city.’
Breathing training at night and taking a walk during the day to relax.
It was a simple, yet perfect plan.
In addition, Zodiac expressed its intention to finish Shutra this time.
There is no guarantee that I will be able to finish it this time, but if I do, I thought I would invite my ship family as well.
‘It’s perfect for making memories.’
That’s when the story is really finished.
As soon as I settled the situation, I spoke to Lena.
“If this has happened, let’s go to the practice room and practice Danjeon breathing. Do you know anything? “I’m talented, so I guess it’ll be over in one day?”
I said with a half-sincere smile.
If Lena was gifted from birth, I had high hopes that she would really blossom in just one day.
But Lena responded by waving her hand.
“Master. “Didn’t you decide to spend time with Mr. Viola today?”
“Ah…”
As Lena said, the viola was in charge today.
The person in charge meant the woman who stayed with me for a day.
As the number of family members increased, this rule was set because choosing a partner roughly could easily lead to discord.
Viola was in charge today, and I was told that if I continued to spend the day with Lena, problems might arise between the two of us.
‘Neither of us are the type to fight over things like that, but…’
After seeing Lena swayed by her obedience, she decided to get rid of the habit of blind trust.
“Hmm… First, let’s just do a quick check. If it gets a bit long, let’s skip to the next step.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Despite the reassurance, Lena’s face showed guilt for taking away Viola’s time.
“Armonia, thank you for the advice.”
“Armonia, I appreciate your concern.”
But Armonia did not receive our greetings, but she asked me an unusual favor.
“Suho. “Can I have a private conversation with Lena?”
“Oh yeah. I’ll go to the practice room and wait. “You two talk slowly.”
Like that, I left the office, leaving Lena and Armonia behind.
