Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 82 The wind blows (2)

“Confucius?”

“….”

“….”

“….”

“I… I brought Confucius a meal.”

“Yes, leave it there.”

Seo-ryang’s voice, lying in bed with a blanket over his head, sounded very pitiful.

Cherry Blossom’s face became tearful. Since his return until now, Confucius has not eaten a single meal.

I couldn’t help but be worried. But since you don’t even show yourself like that, I can’t talk to you easily.

In the end, there was only one thing she could say today.

“…I’ll come clean it up later.”

Grumble.

Even though the cherry blossoms had gone out, Seoryang was still lying motionless, covered in a blanket.

Geumho, who was sitting by the window and yawning profusely, slowly approached Seoryang’s bedside.

「Kki-ing.」

“…Go over there and play.”

「Ah!」

“….”

「Ah! “Ah!”

“Go and be surprised.”

“Ah!”

Geumho pressed Seoryang’s head with his front paw. It was quite cute, but it also seemed like it was reprimanding Seo-ryang for some reason.

Seoryang, who had been toyed with by Geumho’s paws for a while, quickly took off the blanket.

“why!”

“Ah!”

Geumho sat on the bed and gently wagged his tail.

Xu Liang frowned.

“Now you eat well on your own. There you have your share too. “Go and eat.”

“Ang!”

“That guy is so annoying.”

Seoyang, who was grumbling, completely removed the blanket and got down from the bed.

There is no way an expert of his caliber would have any health problems if he starved for two days. However, his face was quite thin, as if he was worried about something.

“Now eat.”

When I handed out the boiled meat, Geumho ran over and chewed it as if he had been waiting.

Xu Liang grumbled.

“How can someone who knocked out all those monsters with a single roar bother people so much? Now it’s up to you to take care of most things. okay?”

Geumho did not react to Seoryang’s words. All he did was eagerly eat the meat that Seoryang handed him.

Seoliang snorted as if he was dumbfounded.

“I understand everything, right? Do you think pretending not to know like before will work?”

Geumho’s ears twitched slightly. But there was no other reaction.

“I really am a monster.”

Seoliang rested his chin and stroked Geumho’s head. Perhaps because he liked the touch, Geumho munched on the meat even harder.

“Still, it’s nice that the food he eats is refreshing.”

Geumho, who had been chewing meat for a while, wiped the corners of his mouth with his tongue, sat down and looked up at Seoryang.

“….”

Seoliang, who was looking down at Geumho, sighed.

“Okay, okay. “I’m already trying to move now.”

Softly, softly.

Geumho came up to Seoryang’s elbow and lay down on his back. Judging by the way he was grinning, it looked like he had eaten quite a lot.

Seoryang was lost in thought as he scratched Geumho’s stomach with his index finger.

‘Damn, there’s nothing I can do.’

I didn’t think the odds were high.

But it was my first time out. As I had high expectations, I was also quite heartbroken.

I wish I could have left the Church of the Heavenly Demon forever with this one outing.

“Take a look at the Sibeol branch? Gather information? Memorizing the route? “It’s shit, man.”

Not long after leaving, I heard information about Jeong Il-ryong from Ma Dong-pil.

The moment I heard that information, nothing caught my eye. I was just busy controlling my hatred for that guy and my deep-seated resentment and anger.

Everything was fine until I destroyed Jeong Il-ryong.

He truly felt refreshed and proud, and a part of his tight heart was lifted! And I felt like I was being pierced.

But the problem came after that.

“…You mean you collapsed in shame and came back treated like a piece of luggage?”

Seoliang messed up his hair.

“Ugh, you idiot! “I thought it was a little better, but then I got into an accident again just looking ahead!”

Geumho was frightened by the billowing dust and rolled over.

Seo-ryang, who had been blaming herself for a while, soon sighed.

“Okay, what’s the point in blaming myself now? “The ship has already left, so let’s just wave.”

know. I know, but my heart feels so sad.

In fact, even though I felt regretful, there was no reason to indulge in self-torture like this.

I can’t say he was simple, but Seoryang wasn’t a sensitive person to the point where he would be preoccupied with something like this for days.

There was a separate reason why he lay in bed for two days contemplating self-abuse.

‘It was out of control.’

The moment I heard these three characters, Jeong Il-ryong, my eyes and ears went blank.

I didn’t know it at the time, but looking back, I was horrified. I had to control my emotions for several days because I heard the name of an enemy I might meet or pass by.

In other words, the will to kill the enemy takes precedence over the desire for freedom.

‘It can’t be like this.’

Even if he secretly escapes from the Heavenly Demon Church, would he be able to live a normal life as a strongman?

Cheonma Shingyo is in the south, but Uicheon Alliance is in the north.

His important safe houses were also in the north, and in order to finally escape to the northern part of the country, he had to pass through Uicheonmaeng’s territory.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you ignore it.

But can you really do that? Can we control this anger that causes us to react immediately even when we hear the name of our enemy?

Very if.

What will I do if I pass through the north and hear news of the Uicheon lord?

Push!

I unconsciously gained strength in my hand holding the table. The edge of the table broke and fell.

“…Even then, we can’t ignore it while crying for freedom.”

Although Jeong Il-ryong was one of the enemies, he was not the main culprit that took his life. If I think back on the past, there were dozens of people I wanted to kill more than him.

Burr.

As I thought of each of their faces, my demonic energy surged. In order to control the wriggling demon energy, I had to exert so much strength that my eyes were bloodshot.

Seo-ryang took a deep breath.

“Let’s calm down.”

He just lived that way, and his personality didn’t match Salsu’s. But at least in the past, he was able to somehow control his emotions.

But what now?

‘You can’t be better than the past, but you can’t regress, you bastard!’

It may have been because he learned magic. No, that is probably the biggest reason.

But that too is just an excuse. In the end, it is always me who moves my body and emotions.

The fact that I couldn’t control my emotions like this because of the magic trick was something I really needed to reflect on.

Grumble.

Xi Liang looked down at the boat. Geumho, who was rolling over, glanced at Seoryang.

“…Damn, I guess I was hungry again.”

Actually, a person who can easily feed three or four people at each meal hasn’t had a sip of water for two days. Of course, my stomach couldn’t help but growl.

Seoliang, holding chopsticks, flinched for a moment.

Most of the food served was light on the stomach. It is a dining table where Aenghwa’s worries are fully reflected.

Seoliang’s meal began while he apologized to Aenghwa in his heart.

‘Okay, let’s forget the past. You were trying to make a long-term plan anyway, right?’

He scoops up enough food to make his cheeks bulge, while his eyes remain serious. It was an expression that exquisitely went back and forth between comedy and seriousness.

‘Let’s think about this outing like this. If you decide to do it, you can go out or not.’

If you think about it that way, you can see that there is a harvest of its own. Since I made up my mind to go out, it turned out to be easier than I thought.

Seo-ryang’s expression became brighter.

‘Okay, just keep doing this from now on.’

It was partly because of his innocence, but in the end, it was he who led the situation in that direction. In other words, as long as you make up your mind, you can leave Protestantism in any way.

“…good.”

The hand holding the chopsticks gained strength.

“Let’s try harder in the future. “If you work hard, you will always find a way.”

When I change my thoughts, I feel at ease. As I imagined a rosy future, my heart pounded again.

After two days of eating, Seoryang came out to the training hall.

A cherry blossom that was cleaning the yard was surprised to find him.

“Lord Confucius?!”

“Are you cleaning?”

“yes yes! “Are you okay?”

Seo-ryang whetted his appetite. I was so embarrassed that I had worried about cherry blossoms while worrying about something trivial.

“are you okay. “You were very worried, right?”

“Hey, have you finished eating?”

“I licked up all the seasoning.”

“I’ll go and clean it up right away!”

“Slow down.”

The cherry blossoms that had been sweeping the yard in a dazzling manner began to pant and move. Although he was moving quickly, his face was bright.

Xiliang scratched his head.

“Anyway, this is a place I’ll go to someday, so wouldn’t I be giving too much attention to it?”

What can I do? I think life here will become very difficult if we quit our relationship in advance.

Besides, this is a guy who has already entered my heart. It’s not like affection can be broken that easily.

“Okay, let’s relax a bit. “Wow, it’s sticky.”

As I stretch my legs, I can’t help but hear a crunching sound. I had been lying in the same position for two days, so it was only natural.

Paang!

There was great power in the outstretched fists, swings, and kicks.

Seo-ryang clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘Look at how hard it is.’

Papa papang!

Jecheongi is a great martial art. It has a high value as a fighting technique, but if used with proper relaxation, it is more effective than any other martial arts technique in loosening up the body.

After half an hour passed, a warm feeling rose from Seoryang’s body.

As the first hour passed, the second hour passed, and half hour passed, his body became drenched in sweat. Once my body was somewhat relaxed, I moved on to detailed training.

When discussing his attitude as a assassin or a magician, Seoryang may be a person with many shortcomings.

However, as a military officer, Seoryang had great advantages. It means that the mind and body are in harmony so that one can always pursue martial arts.

It does not refer to the state of martial arts, but to the attitude toward martial arts. Looking at that, he was a natural warrior.

“Phew, not bad.”

The training that started as a way to relax my body ended only after one hour.

Seoryang, who was lying down on the training ground, could see a clear sky.

“There is one cloud… Anyway, it’s clear.”

A smile naturally spread across my lips. As expected, there was nothing better than sweating when my mind was in a rush.

‘Okay, this is it.’

My future will be as clear as the sky. Even if the unpleasant past pulls your hair, always smile and look at the sky. Then the answer will come out.

It was then.

“Confucius.”

“uh?”

Xu Liang suddenly stood up.

A cautious voice comes from outside the gate. It was Ma Dong-pil.

“Are you Dongpil?”

“Yes, Confucius.”

Feeling happy, Seo-ryang rushed over and opened the door. Then Ma Dong-pil stood there, looking somewhat awkward.

“It must be your working hours. What are you doing here? “Aren’t you busy?”

“That’s it…”

“Hey, it just happened to be good. I had just finished training. “I’m starting to get hungry, so let’s eat together.”

“Before that, I have something to tell you, Confucius.”

“words? That’s good. What?”

Somehow it looks brighter than usual.

Ma Dong-pil, relieved of the burden on his mind, cleared his throat and slowly knelt down.

Seo-ryang’s eyes widened.

“what? Are you sick? What are you doing again….”

“God (臣) Ma Dong-pil! From this moment on, I declare that I will protect you with all my heart as your personal guard!”

“…?”

“….”

“…Personal escort?”

“Oh, that’s it.”

Ma Dong-pil explained the situation to Seo-ryang, who asked with an expression of disbelief.

“…So I became Confucius’ bodyguard for the time being. “For the time being, I think it will probably be quite a long time.”

“….”

“I will sacrifice my life to protect you, Confucius.”

Rumbling!!

It seemed like thunder was coming from beyond the otherwise clear sky.

“You’re… a personal escort?”

“yes? Oh yes. From now on, we will stay and eat at Confucius’s residence and provide close protection.”

“Who told you to do that?”

“I received word from the head of the job, but since transfers to external organizations are not under the jurisdiction of the defense court, it was decided by the higher-ups… Wow! Confucius?!”

Ma Dong-pil hurriedly approached Seo-ryang. Before I knew it, Seoyang had fallen to his knees.

Xu Liang looked up at the sky with a sad face. The clear sky no longer looked clear.

Freedom? I have a close escort, but freedom?

“…He’s a fucking pestilence.”
