Chapter 79 – Chapter 19. Something Darker.
After a month and a week, Eisel finally arrived at Hakam, the capital of the Empire. It had been almost two years since the fairy left here on the day of Ji-hyeok’s second exam.
The capital has not changed much since then and now. The boulevards were still crowded, the buildings were packed, and the carriages came and went nonstop.
However, since the Heavenly Demon had been visiting for the first time in almost ten years, it was a new expression of emotion. La Rocha was busy looking around, turning her head around, perhaps for the first time in the capital.
“It’s still here.”
“The capital is like that. I’ve been here for decades, and not much has changed.”
“Hasn’t the emperor changed twice?”
“… Yes, that has changed.”
The fairy smiled lightly. Even if the city doesn’t change, people change, it seemed to mean something like that.
Anyway, the two of them chatted and walked down the street. They first went to Hero Academy. The head of the academy also smiled meaningfully at the fairy who came because of the recommendation letter.
“Didn’t you say that this time was really the last time?”
“You are not my disciple this time.”
“Then who are you?”
“The Heavenly Demon.”
Ah.
The headmaster was surprised. As he was acquainted with the Heavenly Demon, he knew how strong he was. He is a disciple of such a person. Of course, I couldn’t help but hope.
Anyway, it wasn’t difficult to make a letter of recommendation. Since it was an exception made by the imperial family in recognition of Azel’s merits, her letter of recommendation was considered separate from the academy.
“But your disciple has grown a lot. Know?”
“Well, you know how to grow up. Who is mine?”
“There are rumors that you might be promoted to B-class within this year. … Certainly, your eyes are very good. How did you find such talent…”
Eisel forcibly held back the corners of her mouth from rising. She was delighted as if she had heard a child compliment.
“Yeah, it’s so good, it’s so good. Right?”
“… I don’t know, I have a lot of work, so hurry up and go to the student’s mansion.”
Cheesy, grumpy.
Eisel took one of her leather pouches from her gym bag and held it out to him. The academy principal’s sullen face quickly straightened.
“Ruler.”
“What is this?”
“It is good for the body. Brew and drink.”
“After all, I only have friends.”
“I just got pissed off.”
“When did I get angry?”
Humans tend to become childish as they get older.
Anyway, Izel finished her work at her academy and left the building again. The Heavenly Demon and her disciple, who had been waiting under her, left her academy with her.
“The recommendation letter issue is over. There’s about a month left, so I’ll come back here then.”
“Thank you.”
“… I just need to know.”
The fairy shook her head proudly and walked in front of him. … In fact, she wasn’t the thing that mattered to her.
Eisel was a bit worried that her student might not have left for the mission now because of a crossroads, but she heard from the school principal that she fortunately returned a while ago. She was lucky She thought she was helping her from heaven. Fate… I kept thinking that
The fairy grabbed people and asked them if they knew where the hero Kang Ji-hyeok’s mansion was. Because he was such a famous figure, few passers-by were unaware of him. Thanks to her, she was able to find her way easily.
“Your disciple, it seems famous.”
“Then. Very famous … Eventually, there will be no strangers on the continent.”
“Do you like it?”
“… It’s just that the kid is smart. Nice There is also an acknowledgment… His skills are also very good.”
Oddly enough, the words came out so bragging.
“I know how to serve the Master. You will be surprised to see it too.”
The Heavenly Demon had never seen Aizel so excited. … He was very curious about who was her disciple. Her friend was strangely excited about his story.
They soon approached the warrior’s mansion. Fairy Eisel suddenly couldn’t shake that much. Her heart was beating like crazy.
Really… , Why am I like this-.
I was nervous. She misses her pupil so much, but her body strangely refuses to go.
She did, but she pretended to be fine on the outside. In front of her friends, she didn’t want to look ugly. … No, she wanted to show the confident side of her master in front of her pupils.
She forced herself And she approached the front door of Chuck Chuck’s mansion. Of course, there were restraints from the guards.
“What are you visiting for?”
“I am the hero’s teacher, Azel.”
“… Yes?”
“Let me know soon. He said Master had come.”
Ah.
The guard quickly sent the messenger inside. “Wait a moment,” He asked with a smile on his face. Azel also waited without saying anything.
Shortly after hearing the news, Durka, the official, ran to the entrance with the messenger.
“I’ll take you inside.”
Eisel nodded her head to go in toward the Heavenly Demon. So the three went through the front door and went inside.
The heartbeat got stronger. The fairy wondered if she had ever been so nervous lately. It’s like this with just meeting a disciple. I was a bit ashamed inside.
Yes, I just came to see my disciple. What’s so big about that…
At that time, the entrance door suddenly opened, and Kang Ji-hyeok, a disciple, jumped out. He smiled brightly and ran to his teacher Azel.
“Master-!”
He hugged her tightly. She didn’t know what to do with her arm for a moment, frantically looking for a place to stay, but she slowly hugged his back and patted him.
He was the disciple he missed so much. She hugged his chest and inhaled his body odor. In an instant, her legs almost came loose. His arms were so soft.
The two soon fell. He scanned his master’s face with a delighted expression.
“What happened until here…”
“Just… , Stopped by while passing by.”
I couldn’t say that I wanted to see you, even if I died. I’d rather bite my tongue.
The disciple’s gaze moved slowly to the side. True-. Azel quickly introduced the Heavenly Demon.
“Oh, did I tell you once before? It’s the Heavenly Demon…”
However, the Heavenly Demon and Jihyeok just looked at each other and said nothing. Azel looked at the two faces alternately with a puzzled expression.
… Why are you two here?
The Heavenly Demon, who had been staring at it for a long time, spoke out a word heavily.
“This guy… , The real thing.”
Jihyeok smiled and shook his head lightly.
“Nice to meet you, Heavenly Demon. I am Kang Ji-hyeok’s warrior.”
“Nice to meet you.”
The two shook hands lightly.
“How old are you this year?”
“Twenty-seven.”
“Twenty-seven?”
The Heavenly Demon contrasted him with the twenty-seven-year-old herself. It was embarrassing to even compare. The opponent was a really great guy.
… Where the hell did this guy fall so suddenly?
His curiosity was not over.
“Are you from the Gentiles?”
“Yes.”
“Where? Gangho?”
“I’m going to go to the middle of the day.”
Earth people!
So I couldn’t believe it any more. All the earthlings I have met so far have been weak weaklings without exception. But this nonsense is an earthling? … There, the stereotypes about earthlings were blown away to some extent.
Then the fairy intervened in the conversation.
“Are you going to stand here and talk?”
“Oh, come in. … Oh, but this one… ?”
“My disciple, La Rocha.”
“This is La Rocha, sir.”
“Nice to meet you, Larocia.”
They headed to the parlor on the first floor. It was already ready to welcome guests.
The four sat side by side at the table. The fairy was looking at Jihyeok proudly, as if she were looking at an adult child.
In fact, even if it was a conversation, there was not much content. It was just a simple regards, greetings, and personal information. It wasn’t a place to bring up important topics, so only light content came and went.
Although he was usually silent, Larosha especially kept his silence and looked closely at Jihyeok. … She had been tutored under the Heavenly Demon Master for many years, but it was the first time she had heard him say something he seemed to genuinely approve of.
– He… , The real thing.
It may seem like an insignificant word, but she knew at once that it was Master’s praise. However, no matter how much she looked at Jihyeok, there was nothing she could notice except that she was just an ordinary warrior. … It must mean that there is not enough of it.
Anyway, after such a casual conversation, they were ushered to the room where they would be staying for the day.
After the Heavenly Demon and his disciple left, Jihyeok and Azel had a little time alone.
The fairy thought the air suddenly became hot. It was strangely embarrassing to see the disciple’s face.
Then she remembered the kiss. So she unconsciously licked her lips with her tongue.
“Master, have you been well?”
“Uh? Uh, yeah, good job… You?”
“I’ve been fine too.”
There was another warm silence. The two continued up the stairs.
The scenery seen through the hallway window has risen dramatically. The appearance of the capital came into rage at a glance.
“By the way, what did you come here for?”
“Ah, that, the Heavenly Demon came to the capital because she needed a letter of recommendation.”
“Ah, is that so?”
“Huh. No other reason. I just came because of that.”
“Okay.”
The fairy pondered again what she had said, but she was a little worried that she had been a little too cold to her pupil.
“… Well, I wanted to see if you were doing well, so I stopped by on the way. He said he was busy with his mission these days.”
“Yes. Fortunately, it went well without any problems.”
“Okay? I’m glad. … Still, take care of your body. Always be careful There are still many days to live.”
Jihyeok, who was walking down the hallway, suddenly knocked on one of the doors with the palm of his hand.
“This is my room.”
“Oh, so?”
“And the room Master will be staying in… , Here.”
The fairy Azel’s room was next to Jihyeok’s bedroom. She was strangely ashamed for nothing. Although she did, she pretended to be okay on the outside and nodded her head lightly.
“This is a nice room. Thank you for your concern.”
“Yes, take a look around. The scenery is also good. You will not be uncomfortable during your stay.”
It was definitely a nice room. It was spacious and the furniture was luxurious. The bed in the middle was especially large and nice.
“If there is anything uncomfortable, don’t worry and tell me anytime.”
“I get it.”
The disciple smiled and looked at the master intently. Ah… The elf tried very hard to look at him. But strangely, once in a while, his gaze swung to the side. His chest was hot and his fingertips tickled.
“I am so glad you came. I was wondering when I would get one…”
“I am very happy to see you too.”
The fairy tried to create the appearance of a stern teacher. However, on the other hand, his expression was about to melt at the sorrowful affection that welled up in his heart.
The two were competing fiercely, tossing and turning. However, it was still a victory for Master, who had been steadily serving as a teacher for a long time.
Azel couldn’t be an ugly teacher who came looking for a kiss from a student.
“… Your colleagues, can you introduce yourself?”
“Oh, yes, of course.”
The two left the room and walked down the hallway. Azel looked at the scenery outside the window again. … It’s a place I’ve seen for decades, but strangely, it looked exceptionally beautiful today.
“I really wanted to introduce you to Master. They are all good subordinates.”
“Okay? I’m glad.”
Still thinking about the kiss, she brushed her hair lightly.
… Kissing in broad daylight is a bit shameful.
The ugly teacher still can’t forget that time and has lingering lingering feelings.
The guide left and the Heavenly Demon was left alone with the apprentice. As La Rocha looked around her room, her Heavenly Demon suddenly spoke to her.
“Your goal from now on is that man.”
The disciple suddenly turned his head and looked at the master. The Heavenly Demon’s eyes were terrifyingly shining.
“Follow me desperately. … Do you understand?”
La Rocha bowed her back deeply.
“I understand, Master.”
For the first time, her goal was set.
Hero Kang Ji-hyeok.
Her desire for a challenge was ignited.
