12. Conversation

After leaving a message for Iris to come to me when Garam wakes up.

I headed towards Master, who must be somewhere.

If I stay with Iris, it’s obvious that he’ll only scratch my clothes again.

Above all, Garam’s attack a little while ago caused Master to bleed.

For the Heavenly Demon, it’s probably worse than being bitten by an insect.

Anyway, as a disciple, a teacher is injured, but you can’t just ignore it.

First of all, he is not in the pavilion, nor is he in the room.

After chasing Master’s energy, I headed for a nearby stream.

“Master?”

“Did you come?”

He is playing in the water with his bare legs exposed in his usual light clothes.

It’s like taking off your coat at any time.

Because it is quite high, even though it is a very cool place, they are fanning themselves and dipping their feet into the water.

He was a master who faithfully followed the rule of ‘getting hot’ during the setting.

“It’s been a while since I moved, and it’s hot.”

“You looked very happy.”

“Is that so? I saw it well. It was quite fun. Did you say Garam? That guy from earlier.”

“Yes. He is the first disciple I taught.”

“I think you taught me very well. The description is a bit different from the Heavenly Demon Goddess I use, but I was particularly impressed with that sword as it formed the foundation and pioneered its own path.”

“Since Master said that, I feel like I have been praised.”

Chambang Chambang-.

I wonder if Master followed my words and felt better.

With a faint smile on his lips, he lightly splashes with both feet.

Well, I think I’ll go crazy if I keep watching, so let’s get to the main topic.

“Master.”

“What is it?”

“Are you okay?”

“What do you mean… aha.”

As if you understood my meaning, Master said ha! And groans.

Then he raised his left hand and thrust it out in front of me.

“Nothing to worry about. Shouldn’t you rather be concerned about your pupil?”

It was obviously a wound that even bleed, but it has already healed a lot.

The red lines are still clearly visible, but that’s all.

Not only is the body strong, but the recovery ability is also outside the standard.

Even though he’s such a strong man, he’s not a hero, so he can’t use his strength in the most important battle.

Just thinking about that part made me sigh a lot.

Though I and Master can handle even monsters.

In the end, only the chosen warriors and my disciples can defeat the fragments of the Demon God.

“Did the disciple bleed or was seriously injured?”

But that’s it, and the situation right in front of me is another thing.

Anyway, Master’s hands are hurt, but they pass by saying “Oh, that’s right.”

I assure you, our Heavenly Demon, you will always keep this in your heart.

Sometimes he shows a big-hearted side, but at other times he is very petty.

“Give me your hand.”

“Why, why are you doing this? Didn’t you say it was okay!”

“Please, please. I’ll have a look. Even a small wound will add up if left untreated.”

Even if you can’t deal with the demon fragments.

Even Master can clean up the trash underneath.

That means Master is one of my most important forces.

Because of that, I always had to take care of such a master.

“….”

“Hmm, hmm. Big!”

“… Fortunately, there is no foreign substance or anything like that.”

“It is useless to worry. Have you forgotten who I am!”

“Yes. Don’t drink But didn’t Master tell you? After all, you are also a human being made of flesh and bone, so if a knife pierces your heart and strikes your throat, or if the disease spreads deep within your body, you will die.”

“You remember everything, even the sound of the stars. That’s just what I’ve been saying.”

“Even a small wound will get worse if left alone, and poison will spread throughout the body.”

“Ah, I see. Okay, now let go of my hand.”

It was the master who urgently withdrew his hand.

Your face seems to have turned slightly red, but considering that you are ignorant about the relationship between men and women, it is a natural reaction.

“Hmmm. How far have you been talking?”

“We were talking about Garam.”

“Yes, I see. Let’s see, first of all, the foundation was laid very well. Even if the sword was straight, it was quite frightening that it twisted in an instant. It was as if I was looking at the ‘swordsman’ of the political faction, my nemesis. If it wasn’t for his stamina problem, I don’t know if I would have used my right hand.”

Is physical fitness the biggest stumbling block?

I tried my best to fill that part and raised it to that level.

Even so, it feels like my heart is a little stuffy when I say it’s not enough.

The character Garam itself has a limitation in that he has a penalty of being in the water.

It was covered by the practice method using the Heavenly Demon Artifact and by applying strong energy to the body.

However, since the consumption of physical strength was so great, the problem did not disappear at all.

“What should I do?”

“Is there another way? Of course you have to roll.”

“He is a kid who has already rolled and rolled enough to win.”

“That’s why we have to push ourselves to the limit even more. Even if everything else was combined until I got to this position, there were more times I fought with someone. There are no shortcuts. We have to break through head-on.”

Garam has already left me and is doing very well as a warrior.

He doesn’t seem lazy or conceited, so if he hints at that part, he’ll catch on.

What you need is stamina, not skill, speed, or strength.

“About Iris….”

When I sneakily mentioned Iris, Master’s face immediately hardened.

It’s true that he’s weak, and it’s also true that he has a bit of a mischievous side.

However, a disciple who was born evil or wrong is by no means.

But I couldn’t figure out why Master kept showing such a positive reaction on days like that.

“At first, I thought Iris was just weak, and she didn’t have any real talent.”

“….”

“But more than that, he showed a sharp reaction.”

“Didn’t you tell me? I feel an ominous aura.”

“Master, that is….”

“I know. There’s no answer as foolish as just feeling something. But that’s it, brother. There are more than dozens of times that I have survived with that feeling. It was that intuition that saved this body until now.”

If you say that, I have nothing to refute.

It’s all about listening to Master’s words and thinking about what to say.

“I won’t ask you to let that child go. The bond between a teacher and a disciple is as deep as that between parents and children. Even if you are my disciple, I cannot arbitrarily ask you to quit it.”

“….”

“Just be careful and be careful. It’s not all about being wary of the child. Be aware of everything around you that has to do with the child. Even if it is not the child, the child itself may be dragging such a thing. Do you understand what I said?”

Listening to Master’s words reminded me of the title Iris had.

The last hero, yes, he said he was definitely the ‘last’ one.

When Garam is the warrior of the sword, and the other disciples say that they are spears, magic, and divinities.

Only Iris was the last hero, a slightly unusual and strange title.

At first, it was just the last hero character to be released.

He thought that it might have been attached simply for that reason.

Listening to Master’s words like this makes me feel strange.

“Don’t ask if you understand, Hyuna.”

“… Yes. All right. Master’s words, I will never take them for granted.”

“Yes. Your answer puts my mind at ease. I am very fortunate.”

“….”

In the game, Cheonma is not a character that can be nurtured, but an NPC.

So, it was not essential to create a favorable impression, and even if it did, there were not many supported functions.

Even for me, the way he grumbles when touched is subtly charming.

For that reason, the precious jewels and accessories were given as gifts.

It is true that the setting and known things are lacking compared to the game characters.

Because of this, I had to build a more intimate relationship with the Heavenly Demon and Master.

Sometimes the things I got to know were amazing and sometimes I felt sorry for them.

And sometimes, it was just a little scary.

It’s not that the Heavenly Demon is scary, it’s that you’re so close.

“And that, Hyuna.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Garam, when that fox wakes up, talk to him properly.”

“Yes? What do you mean….”

“There seemed to be some worries. If you have a lot of idle thoughts, the original sword will shake slightly. Seeing that he couldn’t get rid of those wandering thoughts even while sparring with me, it seemed like something was going on.”

“… I didn’t notice at all.”

Honey after a while… No, you can go now.”

At the moment I was about to question what he meant by that.

Alas, she nodded at the energy she felt from afar.

Looking at Garam’s energy, it seems that he has finally woken up.

“Let’s go. This master wants to stay here a little longer.”

“… If so, I will get up first.”

I lightly bowed and got up from my seat.

What the hell was going on that didn’t even tell me?

I felt like I should go and ask Garam directly.

“Master! Just before….”

“I came to know. Rather, Iris?”

“Yes, Master!”

“I have something to talk about with Garam, so please step aside.”

“… Are you really just going to talk?”

“Then let’s just talk and do something else.”

“You really, really just want to talk, right? Aren’t you doing something else?”

“… Go quickly before you even think about doing something else, disciple.”

It was Iris who only stepped aside after threatening her.

She’s a guy who’s going to take a really easy path and take it hard.

I went into the room where Garam was supposed to be, but he was wearing clothes.

“Ah… sorry. Didn’t you think you should have made some sign?”

“No. Are you okay. I thought Master was coming, but he just stayed quiet.”

“… Why?”

“Well? Why?”

While saying that, Garam woo-hu-hu-hu! And let out a crackling laugh again.

In addition, the back that draws a graceful line keeps attracting attention.

It was inevitable that he was a fox, but he was the first disciple to do that whenever there was an opening.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. No big deal. My body is just tired from using that technique. Rather, thanks to Master Tae, I think I slept really well for the first time in a while.”

Those nights seemed really powerful.

To the extent that it’s even more amazing that he didn’t pass out after being hit.

“I’m glad. Your body is fine.”

“Hey? Are you concerned? If you suddenly hit me like that, my heart beats so much.”

“Yes, it must be exciting. There are still some things that I am holding on to without telling me.”

“… Yes?”

“What is it? Tell me, Garam. I couldn’t even tell this teacher right away, so that’s what caused the wandering thoughts to be revealed to my teacher.”

“….”

The feeling of ‘I was caught’ is fully revealed in the eyes looking at me.

It seems that there is definitely something, but I was thinking of rushing it, but I decided to just wait.

“… Actually.”

He is still contemplating whether he should say this or not.

Looking at that image, I hope something insignificant will come out.

“I haven’t been in contact with Fifth for a while.”

… Something is right damn this
