Chapter 78 – Chapter 19. Something Darker.
A red sunset fell over the crescent-shaped lake. When the wind blew, the leaves swayed and swayed, making the sound of rain. It all came together like a beautiful painting.
The fairy Azel sat for a while on the lakeside like that. He thought of his disciple. … And a sweet kiss with him.
She missed him every day and held him in her heart. The more that happened, the deeper the sad love.
I’m a bad teacher To have love for a disciple…
Sometimes I couldn’t sleep because of the pain. I even told myself not to do this.
But to no avail. Love wasn’t something that could be stopped. From the moment she accepted his kiss, it had already become an unstoppable storm.
Azel often dreamed of kissing him. But at the end of it, he left. She runs away trying not to miss him and wakes up from her dream. She couldn’t always catch him.
Don’t send it You just want to live with me.
I don’t know how many times I’ve had that kind of regret. So she waited endlessly for him, not knowing when he would come. She always went into his room and lay down on the bed he was lying on, and she struggled as she thought of kissing him.
Ah, ah-
The time of parting was getting longer and longer. She was going crazy to see him. So at that time, she chewed again and again and again at that happy memory of hers.
… One day when the fairy’s love was ripening like that.
Late in the afternoon, an uninvited guest came to her cabin. Two of them too.
The fairy was very angry. It was a place filled with happy years with a disciple. She hated it even more because it felt like it was being invaded.
However, she was really surprised when she confirmed the identity of her opponent. Anger disappeared like snow melting on a spring day. And soon joy filled the place.
“Heavenly Demon!”
Even though nearly ten years had passed since the last time he saw the handsome middle-aged man, the Heavenly Demon was still the same as then. He lightly embraced his old friend, the fairy Eisel.
“It’s been a really long time. How have you been?”
“It’s me, well, I’ve always lived for the search for truth.”
“… You always live a boring life.”
“I don’t think that’s something you should hear from a fairy who lives in a place like this.”
The two laughed lightly. Only then did the fairy look at the human woman who had followed her.
“Who is this? A maid?”
“How old am I, and what is a maid?”
There, Easel made her sick.
“My disciple. La Rocha.”
“It is an honor to meet you.”
A woman with soft light brown hair and skin as white as snow bowed her head respectfully. Eisel smiled slightly and accepted her greeting.
“Nice to meet you. It’s Azel.”
“I heard a lot from Master. An old friend…”
“What… , It was old.”
In terms of time, it was a relationship close to thirty years. To be honest, it could have been more than just friendship.
“Come in at once. Have you eaten?”
“I just ate.”
“Then how about a cup of tea?”
“It’s good.”
The three entered the cabin. The Heavenly Demon looked around the house and nodded lightly.
“Finally, your wish came true. He said he wanted to live comfortably and comfortably in a secluded place.”
“A little over four years now, maybe?”
“I heard that you are retired. … Then you decided not to raise a disciple at all?”
“Ah… , Uh. Sit down for now.”
The two priests sat down at the table side by side. The fairy put lukewarm tea brewed during the day into a cup and pushed it in front of the two.
“Anyway, it’s nice to see you after a long time.”
“Me too.”
They had casual conversations about this and that. All the while, La Rocha sat solemnly and kept her silence.
Of course, Azel’s eyes were closely examining La Rocha. If the Heavenly Demon were to accept him as a disciple, he would surely not be an ordinary person.
The fairy roughly figured out why the Heavenly Demon had to come here with her disciples on such a long journey. After a brief pause in conversation, the air grew heavy.
“Now, let’s get to the main topic then.”
The smile on Angel’s lips disappeared. The old friend is gone, and only the prickly and nasty fairy remains.
“What are you here for? … You know it doesn’t work to say that you came because you just wanted to see your friend, right?”
The Heavenly Demon laughed heartily.
“This friend is quick to notice.”
“It’s not obvious, it’s natural. You wouldn’t know if he had come alone, but seeing that he brought a disciple with him, he must have an ulterior motive.”
“Good. Don’t bother talking round and round.”
The Heavenly Demon lightly put down the teacup she was holding.
“Please write me a letter of recommendation.”
The fairy gave a pick snort as if she knew it. She leaned against her back and crossed her arms.
“What’s wrong with you saying you’re not interested in being a hero?”
“As the world changes, I couldn’t help but change too.”
“Well, it’s not like he’s going to do it… , Is this the kid?”
The Heavenly Demon nodded her head instead of answering. La Rocha stood upright like her new recruit, her lightly clenched fists resting on her knees, looking straight ahead at her.
Originally, it was right to refuse. But suddenly, the figure of a disciple flickered in front of Azel’s eyes. It was even more so when I saw the two of them.
The fairy pursed her lips a few times. She’s sorry, but oddly enough, she didn’t say that it couldn’t be.
If you refuse, the Heavenly Demon will give up cleanly and go back. And I will go to the capital and try to find another way.
A letter of recommendation was an excellent reason for Agel to go to the capital. Then he could have met his disciple, Kang Ji-hyeok.
Ah.
The master who thought of the disciple was shaken there. She finally found a suitable excuse.
“What… , Good. It’s a request from a friend I haven’t seen in 10 years, and I’m bitterly refusing it.”
The Heavenly Demon thought it was surprising. I didn’t know that the other person would accept it so readily. … Living alone, it seemed that his nasty personality had blunted a bit.
“Thank you. If she had been rejected, she would have been in trouble.”
“… I specifically allowed it because I am a friend.”
“Know. Next time, I’ll do a favor for you too. Tell me what you want.”
“Okay. Think about it.”
Eisel shoved the cup she had finished drinking into the middle of the table and looked out the window. It was already dark outside. The candle in the candelabra on the table was the only light illuminating the surroundings.
“Heavenly Demon, can you sleep on the floor? I’ll sleep in bed with him.”
Then Larosha spoke quickly.
“I will sleep on the floor too.”
“Then do it.”
Of course, Jihyeok’s room was empty, but strangely she didn’t want to share it with others. Even if it meant giving her her own bedroom.
The three entered her bedroom. It was small but cozy.
The fairy brought two blankets and held them out. After all, rugs are a necessity when you go on a journey, so you can take out your own and use them.
The Heavenly Demon felt that this fairy had become much softer than before. At that time, she was nagging and had a bad temper whenever she did anything.
Did she miss Jung because she lived alone?
“Have a peaceful night, Master. Have a good night, sir.”
“Okay.”
Larocha bowed politely and lay down. Her fairy looked at her and thought of her apprentice again.
She had a dream Her apprentice hugged the master tightly and showered her with kisses.
She put her arms around his neck and sucked on his tongue.
– Then, the poor disciple will go for real.
No, don’t go don’t go. I’ll cook for you. I’ll do the laundry and clean up for you. So don’t go
However, Jihyeok turned around and left. Azel couldn’t catch him no matter how much he ran. His feet were too heavy.
I chased after him like crazy and woke up from my dream.
… It was already dawn.
· · ·
The three men and women left the cabin early in the morning. If it was decided anyway, there was no reason to stick around.
The villagers who saw them were whispering again. Said the fairy had already replaced the man.
Of course, Azel didn’t care what humans were talking about. Would I be bored if I didn’t have something to talk about in such a secluded village?
“Oh, how did you make the guild?”
The Heavenly Demon left the former capital and created a guild near the southern continent. After that, we lost contact until now, but we met again yesterday.
“It has grown quite a bit now. There are about 10 to 50 guild members.”
“It’s less than I thought in ten years.”
“I didn’t get a lot of chatter.”
Ah.
Strangely, the movements of the Heavenly Demon and the disciple overlapped similarly. Creating a guild and receiving guild members.
“Actually, there is one person I would like to introduce you to.”
“… To me?”
“Huh. … You will be surprised when you see it.”
“Who?”
“It’s in the capital, so go and see it.”
The Heavenly Demon stopped paying attention there. You’ll just have to go and see what the fairy said.
Azel glanced at La Rocha. Seeing that she had no weapon, it seemed that she, too, only used her fists like the Heavenly Demon.
“Do you also use that martial art?”
“Yes.”
“It won’t be easy. It is also a woman’s body.”
I don’t know if it’s agile, but with fists, the destructive power increased only when there was force radiating from the whole body. In that respect, it was a reasonable question that it would be a little harder for women to use fists than men.
“It’s okay though. I like my fist.”
Azel’s gaze turned to the Heavenly Demon sitting right next to her.
“You’re not forcing me? You don’t have to leave a good weapon behind and go the hard way.”
“Fists are also good weapons.”
“… You’ll be fine.”
This stubborn bastard.
But, funny enough, with that absurd stubbornness, he said that he had almost conquered Gangho. And Azel was also convinced that the skill of the Heavenly Demon was within the top five of all continents.
This guy next door was a monster among monsters. With a single punch, a rock the size of a house shattered and the land collapsed. She also saw many strong people, but there was none like the Heavenly Demon.
I’m sure it will be a very interesting scene when I meet my disciple.
The fairy was thrilled. I was sure it would be a historic moment. Even the Heavenly Demon would be surprised to see her disciple.
She imagined what he liked and smiled like a girl. It was the first time that the Heavenly Demon knew that this friend could make such an expression.
“What do you think you like so much?”
“… Uh? … Never mind.”
His expression hardened again. It was obviously nothing. However, the Heavenly Demon had no interest in digging into her insides. Spilled over
The carriage became quiet. Even at this moment La Rocha was immersed in her meditation with her eyes closed, as if she were practicing her mind. … Her personality as a training fanatic is exactly like her Heavenly Demon.
She was definitely an outstanding woman. She could tell just by looking at her actions and gait. Her restrained demeanor was ingrained into her body as if it were a daily routine. According to her Heavenly Demon’s insistence that she use all parts of her body, La Rocha seemed to be raised that way.
… I’m determined to raise him.
At first glance, it was a work in which the Heavenly Demon poured all her strength into it. Perhaps she, like Jihyeok, was the last masterpiece of the Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon seemed to want to prove that. That’s why she’d dare to make her champion. From there, I will make you stand tall and stand tall, this is it.
… When the thought reached that point, the fairy laughed heartily.
I’m sorry, but this side also has a secret weapon.
No matter how good she was, she couldn’t go crazy with Jihyeok. I can assure you, he has the greatest talent in history. He believed that if he matured a little more, it would not be impossible for him to become the number one on the continent. It also included the Heavenly Demon in front of her eyes.
Even if I lose, my apprentice can’t.
It was just the heart of a parent proud of their child.
To Azel, Jihyeok was the best child in the world.
