Chapter 1396 – Jiheon. Get Out of the Way. You Can’t Kill That Kid.
The Demon King was like a beagle, except for his silver hair, blue eyes, and doll-like appearance. I heard that his father-in-law and mother-in-law suffered greatly because he could not stay still even for a moment and caused accidents.
Even the demon king became a little calmer after having a child. But that was just a temporary hiding of her true nature for the sake of the child in her womb, and now that she has regained some stability after giving birth, there is no need for that.
I left Ji-hoo in the care of his mother and father and left home with the demon king. After leaving the apartment complex, we walked through a nearby shopping center and stopped in front of a kendo gym where a wreath had been laid for the opening of the business.
“Is it here?”
“Hmm. “It’s here.”
“Really?”
“Are you going to tell me it’s fake?”
“Really?”
“It’s true. “How can you not trust me?”
“No, this is really a kendo gym?”
“You said it was a kendo gym. “Can’t you see the kendo gym sticker on the door or wall?”
Just by looking at the glass door or wall that the Demon King pointed to, I could tell that this was a kendo gym. There was no way he didn’t know. There was a photo of a person wearing black kendo protective gear swinging a bamboo sword posted on the front door.
“Haaa! Haaaaa! Haaaaa!”
“Ahh! Argh! Argh!”
“Wow! “Choo!”
“Is it that loud?”
The reason I kept asking was the strange sound coming through the wall. When I heard the loud noises the men were making, I was confused whether this was a kendo gym or a shouting contest venue.
Haha. It’s noisy.”
The Demon King, hearing my absurd words, burst out laughing lightly. Then, he walked towards the glass door between the opening wreaths and said something shocking.
“In a kendo gym, that’s the level of a library.”
“What?”
“Let’s go in now. “I contacted you before I came out saying I would visit.”
“A little bit there.”
“It’s okay. Welcome. “What you’re holding in your hand isn’t light, is it?”
As he spoke, the demon king standing in front of the door pointed to my hand. On my way here, there was a drink set I bought at a nearby supermarket. It was a waste of money to go back like this, so I had no choice but to follow the devil.
Haha. “It’s a good choice.”
The Demon King smiled happily as he saw me approaching, pushed the glass door open with his shoulder and entered. The inside of the kendo gym, which I followed along, had a faint smell of a new home.
“Come here!”
As expected from an acquaintance I had known since I was young, the devil’s characteristic way of speaking was still the same. As she screamed so loudly that her hardwood-floored kendo gym rang, the people swinging bamboo swords turned to look at her yelling and yelling.
“What?”
“Director! “Someone came!”
“Hello!”
Since it was just February, there were children who looked like elementary or middle school students starting in broad daylight. There were some kids who were probably high school students, and the only adult among them was a man who looked at us and widened his eyes.
“Uh! What! “You really came?”
“Ahahaha! “You said you would come!”
“Hey! “You really came!”
A man who looked a little under 30 approached me wearing a black uniform with a Japanese feel. The Demon King hurriedly took off his shoes and smiled brightly as he approached him.
Haha! What is it like? How have you been?”
“I can’t die, so I live. You put a seal on it just to eat it. What are you doing these days?”
“Haha, it’s about the luggage.”
The Demon King, who was talking to the man as he approached him, glanced over his shoulder. Therefore, as I was taking off my shoes and going in, I saw him looking sideways and stood next to him and said hello.
“Hello. “This is Sohee’s husband.”
“You’re married!”
“What! Really? Wow, you’re getting married? Really? How?”
Honestly, I was a little worried. When the Demon King talked to my mother, she said he was my older brother. However, I was relieved to see that the Demon King was genuinely surprised to see her married.
“Are you married? Already? How old are you now?”
“Half fifty-one years old! Half Fifty!”
“You did it that fast? “I never thought you’d leave earlier than me.”
Haha. No one knows what life will turn out to be like. Do you know? “Maybe I won’t be able to get married for the rest of my life.”
“Are you saying this just because you’re married? Hello!”
The man who was gently arguing with the Demon King turned his attention to me. He held out a large, thick hand like a kendo center director.
“The director here is Choi Seong-hyuk. Nice to meet you.”
“Oh, yes. “I am Kang Ji-heon, Sohee’s husband.”
I also extended my hand and shook hands with Director Choi Seong-hyuk. Like the devil, he felt like he had calluses on his palms and was pressing them.
“Oh, indeed. Take this. “I bought it because I came empty-handed.”
After a brief handshake, he handed over the beverage set he had bought as a gift. Director Choi Seong-hyuk saw it and accepted it with exaggerated joy.
“Oh my! “You don’t have to buy something like this!”
“Hmm? Then don’t take it. “I’ll go and refund you right away!”
“Guys! Let’s have a drink!”
Before the Demon King’s hand even touched the drink box, he shouted at the children. The 10 or so children who were standing and staring blankly heard that and came running excitedly.
“Wait for a sec! Leave the bamboo island behind!”
Although there was a bit of a delay as they brought bamboo swords one by one, Director Seonghyeok Choi took each one and handed it to the children. He gave us a bottle each and took one for himself, so he ran out of drinks.
“What. You gave birth to a child? Are you a mom? Now?”
While the kids sat on the floor and sipped their drinks, we stood nearby and talked. The Demon King, who had been boasting about the news of having recently given birth, spoke confidently upon seeing the surprised reaction.
Haha. It’s my mom. That’s Ji-hoo’s mom too.”
“Jihu? So it’s your son? When he grows up, let him go to our dojo.”
“You don’t have enough skills to entrust my son to you…” …”
“What? Under! Hey. I am the director here. “I’m probably doing better than you now, right?”
I drank an aloe drink while watching the Demon King and Director Choi Seong-hyuk chatting warmly. I felt jealous when I saw them having a friendly conversation, but I watched quietly without disturbing the two, who had seen each other for the first time in several years.
“Hey! “Director!”
I wasn’t alone in seeing these two. The eyes of children wearing almost black kendo uniforms were also directed here. Among them, a boy who appeared to be Jena’s age raised his fist and asked.
“What does that sister do?”
“Huh? Sister? Not my sister. It’s a lady. “You have kids, huh?!”
Director Seonghyeong Choi bowed before saying who the devil was. If the demon king pinned the government to its side, the country would do the same.
Haha. Yes. “Not my sister.”
The Demon King, who had been giving Director Choi Seong-hyuk a cold look, smiled brightly. She confidently spoke out her embarrassing words while crossing her arms.
“Jim, please call me pretty sister, not just sister! Hmm!”
“… Director. “That lady is a little strange.”
Haha. There kid. Come out here and lie down. Nope. “I’ll take my luggage.”
“Hey, hey?!”
At the time of Director Choi Seong-hyuk, it was too late to stop him and I didn’t stop him because I was offended, but when I saw him trying to scold someone else’s son with a fresh face, I hurriedly blocked his way.
“Jiheon. Get out of the way. “You can’t kill that kid.”
“Why not kill him?!”
“Okay. In that case, I will only save half of you.”
“If that’s the case, it would be better to die!”
“Okay. “I will absolutely kill you.”
“No! “A little!”
The angry devil clenched his small fists and tried to approach his child. While I was stopping her, Director Choi Seong-hyeok, who had somewhat recovered from her shock, stood up and introduced her devil.
“Um, my sister? “This is the person at the kendo gym the director went to.”
Chuck
“Haha.”
When Director Choi Seong-hyeok showed his thumbs up, the demon king quickly let go of his anger and returned to his original position with a smile. I made her relax and stood next to her.
“Haha. Let’s talk more. “You’re curious.”
The Demon King motioned toward the children to tell them more. Director Choi Seong-hyeok saw the devil with both hands on his waist and continued to tell the story of that time.
“Even though that older sister was a little unusual, she was the best in the kendo gym. The director, I mean, not only me, but the director there wasn’t easy to beat either. “It almost flew?”
“Hmm. Hmm. Also? Is there anything else besides that? A competition where the baggage was taken out.”
“Ah, that’s right. When entering a competition, the default is to win first place, and because you often win MVP, you are called the VIP of the kendo gym. At one point, I almost wanted to play for the national team, but I couldn’t because of an unfortunate accident. Unfortunately.”
“Ugh.”
The majesty’s proud face became distorted. I was concerned about the unpleasant incident that Director Choi Seong-hyeok had mentioned, so I asked in a low whisper.
“Why? “What is it?”
“Hmm, that’s what it means.”
The Demon King took a look at the children and told them about the unfortunate accident.
“I chased after a bastard who was making fun of Jim, and his father happens to be a high-ranking member of the kendo club. “Because of that, it became difficult for me to participate in competitions because I was criticized.”
“Your family was rich. Still didn’t work?”
“That’s too bad. Because of that, I fell out of love with kendo, and Jim was busy guiding the delinquent kids…”
“Ah. “You go around beating up kids?”
“Sweet! Delinquent, be a leader! It is also a relief for victims of school violence!”
It seems that the decisive factor was that he beat up the son of a high-ranking person while he was beating up kids. Of course, I had no intention of saying anything about this. Because I knew roughly what happened during my school days, and it felt refreshing.
“But, director.”
A child other than the one who was asking who the devil was raised his hand. The question raised then became the spark for a future incident.
“If you fight with the director and your sister, who will win?”
“Of course I am!”
“Of course it’s a burden!”
The Demon King and Director Choi Seong-hyuk simultaneously pointed their thumbs at their chests. The two looked at each other and laughed, telling each other not to joke.
Haha! Sohee! Of course, it’s my brother!”
“What are you talking about! “You witnessed Jim’s undefeated legend firsthand!”
“No way! When is that! It’s been a few years since you quit swordsmanship! And I’m the director here!”
“Hmm? Are you bluffing in front of the officials?”
“I’m not bluffing, I really won.”
“That’s just a bluff. The bravado of challenging a legend.”
“…”
“…”
There was silence as the two looked at each other while smiling brightly. The Demon King and Director Choi Seong-hyuk, who had been fighting in silence, finally spoke out.
“Let’s have a game!”
“Let’s play one game together!”
