Absolute Regression

Episode 138 Would it be atrocious of me if I just let it go?

“Where have you been?”

In response to Seo Dae-ryong’s question, he told me where his destination was.

Seo Dae-ryong blinked and asked. I’m not surprised anymore.

“After four days there?”

“okay.”

“Of course it’s not a joke or a prank, right?”

I nodded and Seo Dae-ryong shook his head.

“I just won’t ask any more questions. I don’t even try to understand. If I worry about it for no reason, I’ll just end up being a weird person. “I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he suddenly said one day, ‘I will join the Murim Alliance tomorrow.’

“I just need to know. “What do you really like?”

“Master, I haven’t come here once since you were expelled.”

I remember what he looked like when we last broke up. Sitting on a ferry and drinking alone.

I told him to stop talking nonsense like martial arts peace and tell me the real reason, but I thought he might have been angry at what I said.

‘Unless you are honest, we will never be able to understand each other.’

He may have a wish that war will not break out. But I could clearly feel that that was not the only reason why he approached me.

“Investigator Seo, why are you limping from earlier?”

“Master’s hell training took place yesterday.”

“suddenly?”

“yes. “You looked a little upset.”

At that time, Hyeolcheondoma entered the office under the guidance of another investigator.

Seo Dae-ryong was surprised because he was just talking about him.

“Master!”

To Seo Dae-ryong, he was a welcome master whom he always respected.

It would have been nice if they treated him a little more kindly, but Hyeolcheondoma just nodded slightly and said.

“You go out for a while.”

“yes!”

Seo Dae-ryong went out. He was limping like that in front of me, but now he gritted his teeth and walked steadily.

Investigator Seo, cheer up. It’s not easy to open the door to your bratty master’s heart.

The small, fierce eyes of Hyeolcheon Doma look more vicious today. He seemed in a bad mood yesterday, and he was in that same mood again today.

“Welcome, old man.”

Hyeolcheon Doma got straight to the point.

“Chwima came to visit me yesterday.”

I could tell. Seo Dae-ryong’s hellish training was due to his drunkenness.

“I brought you a bottle of alcohol. “With very expensive alcohol.”

Although he was speaking calmly, Hyeolcheondoma seemed displeased with the situation.

“Why did you come?”

“He said he bought it because he wanted to give it to him and only gave him a drink.”

Efforts to reconcile with Hyeolcheon Doma began. It took me five days to decide to go get a bottle of alcohol.

“It was similar to the time when Extreme Soma came to you and asked you to tell him something.”

“It’s different from that. “That’s because I have business to do, and this time, I have business for you.”

“I still thought it was your business?”

You really are so perceptive.

“No, this is my first time seeing this. So, have you had any alcohol?”

“Did you drink it thinking it had something in it? “I just poured it out and threw it away.”

“What if you throw away someone else’s sincerity like that?”

“Why do you care about other people’s sincerity?”

“They say it’s expensive alcohol. “Please give it to me.”

Blood Heavenly Demon glared at me suspiciously.

“Is that you? What did you do? Otherwise, there’s no way that drunkard would do something he hasn’t done in his life.”

I was thinking about being honest, but I held on until the end. For this reconciliation to work, the two people had to figure it out somehow.

“No, I don’t know. “Maybe I was impressed by the old man while drinking at a pub that day.”

“What impression? “All you did was swear at him?”

“Who in the world would curse at him like that? There may have been a change of heart.”

“Don’t neglect hobbies. Did I make it clear? Chuma is an insidious person. Don’t give your heart to someone worthless. “If you go too far, the road back will be arduous.”

Hyeolcheondoma said only what he had to say and left the office.

The reconciliation between the two depends on how Chuma turns out later. In the process, Chuma will remove one layer of preconceptions and become an opportunity to learn more about it.

That night.

I was sitting on the branch of a large tree in the distance, watching Ian practice. It was far away so she wouldn’t notice, but I could see her expression.

She was practicing the flying sword technique with a serious face and dripping sweat. I did the same herbivorous diet again and again. She will not rest until those repetitions and repetitions one day respond.

At that time, someone entered her training room.

Surprisingly, the person who came to visit her was none other than Cheongmyeon, a subordinate of Extreme Soma.

“This drone.”

“Ah, Cheongmyeon.”

“I’m sorry for being late.”

“no. “What brought you here?”

“Is what you said back then about joining the team still valid?”

“The Iljojang position will always remain empty until Cheongmyeon clearly refuses.”

Ian’s voice trembled. He was taken aback by Cheongmyeon’s sudden visit. On the other hand, Cheongmyeon continued to ask questions he had prepared.

“What will Gwiyoungdae do in the future?”

“Guiyoungdae will function as an organization solely for Lee Gongja.”

“What if the leader’s orders and Lee Gongja’s orders conflict?”

Ian just smiled slightly, as if he had already answered.

“Do you know what you are answering now?”

“I didn’t say anything?”

The gazes of the two people intertwined in midair. I could feel the worry in the eyes of Cheongmyeon’s mask.

When this strange woman who went from being extremely fat to becoming extremely beautiful suddenly asked me to take over as team leader, I honestly thought she was crazy at first.

Even though he was the one who saved his life by destroying the carriage, would he give up his position as a future majon and become a leader?

This is what I really thought at that moment. Heaven does not give everything. You’re so beautiful, but you’re crazy!

But as time passed, I kept thinking about that crazy bitch.

Rather than waiting twenty or thirty years to become a mazon, I wanted to wander around the martial forest with her. The more I tried to shake off that thought, the more I kept thinking about Ian.

If she had proposed it before her transformation, would she have worried like this? I scolded myself for being a fool who was fooled by beauty, but I couldn’t help but think about it. The thought that if it weren’t for her, I would have died anyway, added strength to the temptation.

Ian chose honesty over pleasant words to attract Cheongmyeon.

“I trust you, Master. If you look at the sky and say that is the earth, from that day on, you will live thinking of the sky as the earth. If you die for me, I will die for you. I even practice in advance while looking in the mirror to see what I will say at that time. I have prepared several words. There are words that will make you remember me forever, words that will make you let go of me without burden, and words that will hurt you. I think I’ll know what I’m going to say only then. The organization I lead is Gwiyoungdae. Even if you come in, you have to know it.”

The more she spoke, the more her trembling subsided.

“You don’t have to decide right now. “Please decide carefully for me as well.”

“For this warrior? What does that mean?”

“The position I proposed to Cheongmyeon is a very important and precious position to me. This is the first position of head of an organization that I have served as the head of for the first time in my life. I don’t want to see Cheongmyeon regret it right then and there. I don’t want to turn that precious place into someone’s regret. So, take your time and make decisions without regrets. I plan to leave the Iljojang position empty until Cheongmyeon makes a decision. Even if all the other leaders are occupied, the position of leader will remain empty.”

The gazes of the two people intertwined in midair.

“Can I keep wearing this mask even after I enter the tattoo academy?”

“yes. Instead, you have to say a lot to me on a regular basis. “So that if someone appears in front of me wearing that blue mask and pretends to be Cheongmyeon, I can recognize him right away.”

Cheongmyeon stared at Ian in silence for a moment, bowed his head, greeted him politely, and then left.

When he disappeared, Ian finally felt relieved.

“OMG! I was shaking and thought I was going to die. What did I say? iced coffee! It’s ruined. “I hesitated and talked too much!”

As I was watching it from afar, I burst out laughing.

Just then, someone flew over and landed next to the branch where I was sitting.

Surprisingly, he was a very evil Soma. He probably came here following Cheongmyeon.

“I couldn’t sleep for a while and thought about it, but I finally came here.”

It seems that Cheongmyeon’s troubles have already entered the eyes of the evil Soma.

“You idiot! “What are you doing when you’re so captivated by the off-white color?”

“Isn’t it an off-white color that can be captivating?”

“Gongja Lee took away my mask, and now he is taking away my subordinates as well.”

“Now let’s get this straight. “The mask was given to me as a gift, and the blue cotton was taken by Ian, not me.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to take revenge on that pretty heart.”

“I’ll just take it from myself.”

Extreme Soma laughed softly. It sounded like a wild animal growling, as if it was not in a good mood.

“What do you plan to do if Cheongmyeon goes?”

“Would I be the worst if I just let it go? “You have to cut off at least one arm and send it away.”

I couldn’t tell if it was serious or a joke. When Ian first suggested it to Cheongmyeon, the evil Soma who was watching did not say anything. So I thought maybe they would let me go comfortably, but I think that might not be the case. Because I didn’t know what his feelings were toward Cheongmyeon.

“Wouldn’t it be okay if you let me go in peace?”

“Are you saying that it would be better to lead that organization with no one in it than the Mazon of the future?”

“In this respect. “Mazon is a thing of the distant future, and what the leader wants to do is the present.”

Actually, there was a different reason in the first place. Even as Cheongmyeon gets older, he cannot sit in the mazon’s seat.

The current extreme evil Soma would not know. That he would hold the position of Majon for such a long time. The fact that Cheongmyeon spends all those years just looking after himself.

“Aren’t you and I, Soma, bound by the fate we were born with and unable to live as we please? “Let’s just let Cheongmyeon live as he pleases.”

“You will regret it later. “What about that?”

“What are you going to do? You made your choice, but you should regret it. I might regret it then and go see Soma again. “Please take it back.”

“It’s impossible.”

“Please accept it. “There is enough reason to accept it.”

“For what reason?”

“The Cheongmyeon of today and the Cheongmyeon of his life will definitely be different. Cheongmyeon, who returned from wandering, will be stronger. “The sword of someone who has regrets will be faster.”

Extreme Soma stared at me.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“You’ve always been curious about what’s underneath my mask, right? I’m always curious too. “What’s inside Lee Gongja?”

Although I felt a pang inside, I answered calmly.

“Sometimes I wonder too. What’s inside me that makes me feel like I’ve lived my entire life? “If you talk too much and try to teach, you won’t be popular with women these days, right?”

“I understand.”

Extreme Soma laughed and I laughed along with him.

“Speaking of which, let me ask you one thing. “If Cheongmyeon chooses the leader and Soma gets so angry that he wants to cut off his arm, please meet me first.”

“why? “Are you going to cut off my arm so I can’t cut it off?”

“I like Soma better than Cheongmyeon, so why would I do that?”

“Then why do you want to see it?”

“For Ian’s sake, we have to somehow stop and persuade Soma. “I say this from the bottom of my heart.”

“Let me think about it.”

Extreme Soma jumped away and left the place.

My eyes turned to Ian again.

She calmed down her excitement and went back to her boring martial arts training.

You’re doing great Ian. In the end, Cheongmyeon will fall in love with your skills rather than your persuasion. I think Soma’s forgiveness also depends on that.

The next day, Seo Dae-ryong asked as soon as he entered the office with an excited face.

“Mr. Lord, have you heard the rumor?”

“What rumor?”

Seo Dae-ryong brought a truly surprising rumor.

“Master is having a fight with Chuma.”

I was surprised.

“Really?”

“I’m not even sure if it’s a rumor or true. It’s a rumor that came from the Namdo sect. But isn’t this an unwritten rule that mazons don’t fight among themselves?”

Seo Dae-ryong seems to be worried whether the rumors are true.

“Are you worried?”

“Honestly.”

“What are you worried about? “Your master has been training a lot in martial arts these days.”

“But you’re older too.”

Do you know about Hyeolcheon Doma? That his student is so worried about him. Well, if you had known that, would you have put me through hell training just because I felt bad?

Seo Dae-ryong asked as he stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“To buy alcohol. “I’ll have a very strong drink today.”

“ah! Are you going to stop me from getting drunk?”

He said as he left the office.

“There will be no duel. “Because you will die first by my hands.”

I told them to reconcile, but they ended up having a duel instead? I really can’t live, I can’t live.
