Chapter 471 – A Real Man
“I will become a skilled field manager like my father!”
Nori’s dream was to become like his father.
As is the case for any daughter, Nori’s father was the pillar that supported her world, the eaves that protected her from the rain, and a strong ally who was always by her side.
My father was very short.
However, his strength was so great that he never lost when he arms wrestled with adults in the neighborhood.
Nori could hang on those thick forearms for an entire day, and he never got tired even if he pounded metal all day.
In Nori’s eyes, her father’s heavy drops of sweat, his long beard, and the soot that covered his face all looked cool in Nori’s eyes.
So Nori wanted to be like his father.
I followed him around constantly, smeared soot on his face, imitated everything he did, and tried to learn his work.
But it wasn’t as easy as it seemed.
The furnace for melting iron was very hot, and hammering was hard work even for an adult man with intact limbs.
My whole body was drenched in sweat, and I was exhausted from working with bellows and hitting hammers all day in a place where I couldn’t breathe, and my palms often got blisters and my skin peeled off.
“Whew – it would have been better if it was a guy.”
These were words that her father, who had been drinking heavily, inadvertently uttered while stroking her sleeping hair.
After all, waking up at that time was a misfortune for Nori at that young age.
The power to aim was weak.
When I was working with the bellows, I had to put all my weight on it and press down, and when I was hitting the metal, I had to bang! The sound of a sparrow pecking seeds was as meager as that.
In order to make something properly, you had to put in several times more time and effort than others.
Even when I actually made something, it was difficult to hear my father’s praise.
Since he is the god of fire and tempering, he has no rough idea when it comes to looking at things.
“This can’t be done.”
“I can’t use this.”
“Tsk – no, throw it away.”
How many apprentices quit because they got tired of that strictness?
Nori had perseverance and was never hurt by her father’s harsh words, but those words he uttered while drunk pierced her heart sharply.
So I decided to become a man.
She cut her hair like a man, behaved like a man, and acted like a man.
As the kids in her neighborhood ran around waving her peppers, she took off her pants and ran with them.
When Nori’s father saw that, he was shocked and hit her on the butt and said this.
“You’re a bitch Nori! You shouldn’t act like that!”
She knew too.
Because when she took off her pants and ran, the kids on her street wouldn’t accept her.
On the contrary, when she saw her, she was surprised, made a strange face, or made a rough breathing noise.
But Nori did not give up.
I wanted to become a child that was well liked by my father.
I wanted to be a son. He just wanted to become a well-off worker who did his job as an apprentice.
A fieldsmith who will have no problems even if he takes over the horn blacksmith shop in the distant future-.
“If you’re a man, you should run. Why are you scared? “Can’t you do it?”
It was something a kid said to Nori as if teasing her.
There was a wide stream, and they jumped over it.
Cold water was flowing vigorously beneath my feet.
It wasn’t that deep, but I was afraid of what would happen if I got swept away, so I couldn’t even set foot.
At that time, the kid raised the corners of his mouth and pointed to one side with his finger.
There, I saw girls wearing skirts playing with rubber bands.
“If you can’t do it, go over there. Who catches it? “If we hang out with a girl like you, it’ll only embarrass us.”
What on earth does it mean to be manly?
Such a question suddenly appeared in Nori’s mind.
“You can’t run, you coward?”
“Then get out!”
“Just play house with other girls!”
Criticism and ridicule poured in from the men beyond the strong flowing stream, and Nori, unable to bear it, was forced to run.
It was an unprepared attitude and an unprepared situation.
Nothing.
Splash-!
Both legs fell into the water.
The water was so cold that I couldn’t breathe. The men laughed and laughed as I grabbed hold of the rock and tried to climb up.
Nori gritted his teeth.
Seeing them laughing and holding their bellies made me feel a fire in my stomach.
What am I worse than them?
All they know how to do is lift girls’ skirts, draw maps on their blankets, and go around collecting salt or rice while wearing keys.
The only thing they were proud of was filling an ant hole with urine and raising their shoulders like they were battlefield heroes.
“I jumped…! What should I do now?”
When Nori finally climbed onto the rock, they stopped laughing.
Even though her fingernails were broken, and her knees were bleeding, Nori proudly straightened her shoulders and forced a smile.
“···Yes, I admit it! Let’s play together!”
One guy said that, and after that she was able to join the group and play together.
That day, Nori truly felt like a boy.
“If you can’t bear it, just go back. Because I won’t hold you back.”
And now, the black-haired man is saying that.
He was different from his kids.
Except for her father, she was more manly than any man she had ever seen.
He came to a distant city to save his colleagues, and beat up and intimidated the administrator to find out who was behind it.
And now they are even trying to mess with the nobility.
Who would be as brave as that man? Who would be willing to go through difficult times for friendship?
Isn’t that man a real man?
So I wanted to be like the man I was aiming for.
Maybe as much as she wants to be like her father.
“···Nori? Are you listening to me?”
Is that why-.
I couldn’t look at the man I was aiming for.
My heart was beating too fast.
The lips I had just touched were hot as if they had been on fire, and my cheeks were as hot as if I had been standing in front of a furnace for hours.
It’s strange.
There has never been anything like this.
One day, when I jumped across a stream in a single bound, my heart beat faster than when the boys were clapping and cheering.
“What does this have to do with becoming a man…!”
Nori screamed, covering her chest with both hands, afraid that her heart would go out of her body.
Her dark-haired man pouts.
A face as disgusting as the one the little guy made in front of the stream back then.
“Are you a bitch? Nori?”
In response to his question, Nori shook his head.
“He said he wanted to become a man. A real man.”
This time Nori nods.
When told to endure it, Nori held her breath.
Seojun approaches again. And then he whispers something in my ear.
“I’m not a married woman, but if a man kisses me, my heart won’t flutter, right? Right?”
Nori nodded his head furiously.
Because she was holding her breath – her face was as red as a blush as she looked into Seojun’s eyes, so close that her nose was almost touching.
“So, just be patient. Who will do well from the beginning? This is also training. Training. Nothing will really matter later, right? Rather, you will be able to make fun of boys who play around like this.”
Seojun said that and placed his fingertips on her waist.
It seemed as if Nori’s heart had moved there.
The tip of his index finger points from his waist to his hips.
And from the hips back to the lower abdomen. From the lower abdomen, going further and further down.
Eventually, the hand goes towards her woman.
“Hmph…!”
When Nori let out the breath he had been holding and held onto his hand, Seojun shook his head with a faint smile.
Here I am telling you not to give up and not to run away.
As Nori’s hand relaxed, the man’s hand came into his pants.
Like a snake sneaking into a bird’s nest to snatch its eggs, her pants bulge in the shape of the back of a man’s hand. I feel a soft touch beyond my inner region.
The hand caresses her womanhood.
Swipe slowly from top to bottom, and then sweep up from bottom again.
She gently moves the inner part to the side and gently inserts her finger into the woman. The slippery liquid draws the finger inward. As if asking why you came now-.
Ah…! Phew…, Town…!
Instead of holding on to the man’s hand, I covered my mouth and tried my best not to make a sound.
“Hands off. Yes. Good job. I’m going to kiss you like I just did, Nori. You should never be nervous. You should never blush. Then you end up becoming a bitch. I endure it without any problem. Like a man. “You can do it, right?”
A narrow alley between houses.
There, a woman was entangled with her man, kissing her, and the other woman was stomping her feet in excitement.
And there was a commotion above the wall.
“Aaaaahhh honey…!”
“Get the police officer right away! The administrator…!”
Nevertheless, the three men and women in the alley did not care.
For a long time, they continued their actions.
For a long time.
