Episode 271 Disciple of the Four Great Villains
“Did you sleep well, Great Master?”
“okay.”
I looked at Yoran, who came out in front of the guest and took turns saying good morning.
“Second Master, didn’t you have a bad dream last night?”
“okay. I slept well.”
While the Sword Demon and Demon Demon were still awkward and unable to respond, Yoran came in front of me and bowed his head.
“Third Master.”
“huh.”
Yoran looked at me and said.
“Did you get some sleep? “Did you stay up all night?”
I shook my head.
“no. “I also slept well.”
“yes.”
Yoran moved to the side and bowed his head to the demon.
“…Did you sleep well, Ambassador?”
The demon sighed and then nodded.
“Yoran, you should call me youngest master. Why did it turn into a major sentence overnight? “Yesterday you said you were the youngest master.”
Yoran glanced at me and said to Saekma.
“If that happens, I have to tell the ambassador that I am Josasinim. “He said a major punishment was the right thing to do.”
“Who said this?”
“Third Master.”
I was cheering for Yoran from the side.
“You’re smart.”
Perhaps because there were many morning greetings, Yoran soon walked to the side and bowed his head to Cha Seongtae.
“Did you sleep well too, Commander-in-Chief?”
Seongtae Cha shook his head.
“No, I had a nightmare last night.”
“What kind of nightmare is this?”
“I had a dream about being beaten in the guest room by your third master. “I stayed up all night doing errands and snacks.”
Yoran held his stomach with both hands and burst into laughter.
Cha Seong-tae said with an absurd expression.
“Smile?”
“sorry.”
I told Cha Seong-tae.
“What kind of person is pointing out our student’s laughter?”
Seongtae Cha snorted and looked at Yoran.
“Yoran, you shouldn’t laugh like that when you hear about someone else’s nightmare.”
“Yes, Commander.”
“Go in and prepare to eat.”
“All right.”
Only after Yoran went into the guest room did we have a normal morning.
“after.”
“Ha…what a surprise.”
“Tsk.”
I don’t know what everyone was thinking, but there were several sighs.
Of course, Jang Deuk-su and Sister Hong decided to take over as Yo-ran’s adoptive parents.
However, Yoran must have seen quite a bit in Kangho, so one day he suddenly called us Master.
It doesn’t seem like someone specifically told him to do it.
In the morning, he would show up a little later than us and say hello in the morning, but there was no reason to tell him not to do so.
Of course, I have no intention of teaching Yoran martial arts yet. I just call him Master and follow him, so it feels like he’s giving me someone to talk to. Everyone knew Yoran’s story and it was difficult to tell because he was young.
The sword demon muttered as he looked at the morning scene with the rising sunlight spreading out with a serious expression.
“I feel burdened every time I hear it called Daesabu.”
The demon also sighed.
“That’s right. I think he’s doing that with the intention of learning martial arts. “How about leaving it to Mo Yong’s family instead?”
I shook my head.
“They say they don’t like me, so what can I do? Fortunately, they say Yayul-yeon is adapting well.”
Fortunately, Ya Yul-yeon, who had an honorable mention because of Mo Yong-baek, was learning to be a medical maid.
As Saekma was about to say something, another noise came out and Yoran appeared, so all four of us quickly shut our mouths at the same time.
Yoran came in front of me and looked up at me.
“Third Master.”
“huh?”
“I heard you are the four major evildoers, including your masters and your brother?”
I answered with a surprised expression.
“No, who told you that? It was a long time ago. “It used to be like that.”
“Not now?”
“Not now. To call them one of the four major evildoers is nonsense. “Why suddenly?”
I looked at Yoran.
I knew he was intelligent, but there were times when I was surprised by how casually he talked about what he picked up, and now is the case.
So what does this feel like….
Is it like talking to the youngest Kang Ho-in?
Yoran looked left and right and answered in a serious tone.
“I had a dream last night that I was one of the five great villains.”
“He’s one of the five great villains… I guess that might be a bit controversial, right? If we are not one of the four major evildoers, how could we have dreamed of becoming one of the five major evildoers? “It was a strange dream.”
“Are you retired?”
“Not yet. Oh, that means he didn’t retire from Gangho. They are not the four major evildoers. “Villain is not a cool word, but you should not be mistaken.”
At this time, Hongshin came out of the guest room, hugged Yoran and said,
“Yoran, let’s go in without bothering the masters.”
“You didn’t bother me?”
“The masters are in trouble.”
“all right.”
I sighed as soon as Yoran disappeared for the second time.
“It’s a big deal. “A minor is one of the five evils.”
“That’s right.”
I hinted at it because I thought it would be a hindrance to the performance of the three of them and Cha Seong-tae.
“If you and everyone else is feeling frustrated, go on a training trip.”
The devil asked me.
“you?”
“I have to stay calm at least until my arm heals. I’m tired of sewing. “I’ve been so upset so far.”
“That’s right. “I should have been a bit harsh.”
In the midst of a snowball fight with the color demon, the sword demon opened his mouth in a quiet tone.
“…Moonju’s enemies have increased too much. It’s a hassle, but I think I’ll feel uncomfortable even if I go far away, so I’ll have to get used to it. “I’m worried about students coming, and I’m also worried about people who aren’t students coming.”
So, anyway, the reason these people were sticking to Jaha’s cup was because of me.
This thought occurred to me.
Should I move my base?
My house was restored to normal condition, but it was an uncomfortable situation to be at home. First of all, the student Chu Myeong, whose palm was pierced by me, is probably still alive and well somewhere. He had a general idea of our strength, so he definitely wasn’t the type of guy who would show up alone. At the very least, he is the type of person who will appear with students who have similar skills to him.
I said while looking at the scenery of daily life that did not seem peaceful.
“When I was confident that I could survive in the Gangho. “I thought I would go around the world and find outstanding children and make them my disciples, but I ended up becoming a disciple without even choosing one.”
The color demon muttered.
“I’ll call you a few times and then stop. That’s because you’re too young. It’s a great type that doesn’t even exist in the Eight Characters. “Is there an example of having multiple people as masters like Master Yoran?”
The Sword Demon answered.
“It’s rare, but not unheard of. And we are not a people who care about manners.”
“yes.”
“I don’t know when it will happen, but I don’t think it would be a bad idea for each of us to pass on at least one season.”
I looked at the Sword Demon with a surprised expression.
The sword demon continued.
“I lost my parents at a young age, so it would be right to teach them martial arts that can protect themselves. However, it is difficult to pass on my martial arts skills. It seems more appropriate to learn from Black Yukhap. “What do you want to teach Moonju?”
“I have to teach Gyeonggong. “Light attack is the best way to survive.”
The devil answered.
“I will teach you Jade Flower Ice Ball later. In any case, it is a martial art more suitable for women. “It was developed at Okhwa Palace, where there were only women.”
It wasn’t that strange to hear that the great brother was teaching martial arts to the young sister. Because by nature, we are strange people.
The Sword Demon asked the Demon Demon.
“Can you teach me how to use a sword?”
“It’s not a difficult task. However, it would take at least ten years of training to grow into a martial artist. “I don’t know if the four of us can last ten years in Gangho.”
Suddenly, Cha Seong-tae, who was sitting in the last row of chairs, stood up.
“I will eat breakfast beforehand and do some training before coming back.”
“Come back.”
Cha Seong-tae looked around at us, took his gun, then turned around and headed somewhere.
Strangely enough, I couldn’t help but sigh today.
Perhaps this is the burden that parents and teachers feel. While I was sighing repeatedly, Deuksu Jang came out of the guest room and looked around at us as if he had something to say.
I asked.
“why?”
Deuksu Jang said while wiping his hands on his apron.
“Let’s all gather together and eat together today. Do not eat it separately. “Please come up to this floor.”
At Jang Deuk-soo’s command, the Four Great Villains stood up without saying anything. This is because it is natural to listen to the orders of the person who feeds you.
“If accommodation comes up, you have to go up.”
When I went to this floor, I saw a sumptuous feast, which is rarely seen on a regular basis, prepared at the largest round table.
“….”
Not only were there side dishes that I had not been able to eat from Deuksu, but there were also foods that I often ate, including whole pork bones. It was really too much food to eat for breakfast.
Hongshin said as he put down his chopsticks.
“Sit. Moonju and Masters. Yoran, come and eat.”
As we sat down, Jang Deuk-su took off his apron and also sat down. Between Jang Deuk-su and Hong Shin, Yo-ran was showing his face.
After drinking water, I asked Deuksu.
“Why is the table setting so loud?”
Yoran answered.
“Me?”
“Not you.”
Jang Deuk-su smiled and held out his hand.
“Let’s talk while eating.”
First, we ate with chopsticks. Even Jang Deuk-su, who has quick hands, woke up early in the morning to prepare these side dishes. As I was watching, Sister Hong picked up a side dish from far away and placed it on Yoran’s rice.
Jang Deuk-su said while eating.
“…Yoran’s first and last name is now Jang Yoran.”
We nodded because it was quite possible for adoptive parents to give each other their last name. The atmosphere was strange, but we looked at Jang Suk-su while eating.
Deuksu Jang said.
“If Yoran learns how to cook from me, he will become a master, but he says he has no interest in cooking.”
Jang Deuk-su looked around at us and then spoke.
“It looks like my daughter wants to learn martial arts from the masters. I apologize for calling you Master first without being formal or polite. “I also know little about Kangho’s work, so I prepared a meal first.”
“….”
It was hard to know what to say because Yoran was watching us with his beady eyes.
The burden doubled and I felt like a grain of rice was stuck in my throat, so I drank water. Now I see that all four of us were drinking water at the same time.
Deuksu Jang continued.
“I know you are busy and under pressure. Since he is still young, there is no need to teach him like a disciple of a sect…”
Jang Deuk-su checked Hong Shin’s expression and then hesitated.
“If I had learned martial arts, I would have taught it myself, but that’s a shame.”
No one said anything, so I answered instead.
“You have to teach me slowly.”
Now that I think about it, I was the one who asked Jang Deuk-su and Hong Shin to become adoptive parents. This means that I gave the burden to the two people first. In that case, even if the three of them gave up on Master, I was in a position where I couldn’t do that.
After accepting the reality, I looked at Yoran.
“…since there are so many masters, anything can happen.”
It wasn’t a particularly good response. Originally, I should have asked Yoran why he wanted to learn martial arts, but I couldn’t. Because it was about exposing the wound.
So I simply asked.
“Yoran, are you going to learn martial arts from the masters?”
“yes.”
“It must be difficult, right? It’s not easy. “There will be many times when you feel resentful.”
Yoran answered succinctly.
“I could.”
I looked at the expressions of the color demon, demon demon, and sword demon one after another. We didn’t talk for a while until we finished eating. Only after Yoran had finished eating did Deuksu leave Yoran in the care of Hongshin.
In the end, during the rest of the men’s meal…
Jang Deuk-soo opened his mouth again.
“Are you feeling burdened Yoran?”
I nodded.
“It’s a burden.”
Jang Deuk-su asked the sword demon, the color demon, and the demon demon again.
“Are you three like that too?”
“It’s kind of like that.”
“It’s burdensome.”
The demon just nodded.
Deuksu Jang said.
“I feel burdened too. He is the father that Palja never had. “Jaha asked me to do it, and I said I would understand, but I feel burdened every day.”
“….”
Jang Deuk-su looked around at us and continued speaking.
“Is it just me? All fathers from ordinary families feel the same way. “Please teach Yoran some martial arts.”
The Sword Demon, who was still, asked Deuksu Jang.
“Are there any other reasons?”
“There is, but do I really need to tell you?”
“I want to hear it.”
Jang Deuk-su looked at the food he had prepared since dawn and spoke to us.
“When I look at the four of you, I can see that they live each day with the risk of death. Since you are a member of the Gangho, it is not something you cannot understand. But how can a person live while only thinking about death? There’s no need to do that. Losing or dying in a fight is an inevitable result, but there is no need to live a life where death is always on your mind, even in ordinary daily life. “Was my words too presumptuous?”
I just shook my head.
Deuksu Jang said.
“Please take good care of Yoran. It seems like the little guy is thinking about death too early. Would you call them masters and follow them for no reason? Stop thinking about dying early while fighting recklessly. “I hope you think about your disciples and think about running away and living a long, thin life.”
Deuksu Jang pointed to the table and spoke to us who were silent.
“I’ll clean it up, so you guys can go take a rest.”
We both stood up at the same time and left a message.
“It was a good meal.”
“It was good.”
“You worked hard to make it.”
Jang Deuk-su answered while putting away the dishes.
“Not much to say…I’m glad you enjoyed it.”
I couldn’t think of anything to say, so I went down the stairs. The four of us were going down the stairs like people who had been scolded by Jang Deuk-su at the same time, when we heard a crashing sound from above again and Yoran’s voice.
“I will help too. “I’ll clean it up.”
I saw in real time that the pressure grew two-fold or three-fold.
We sat side by side again in front of the guest room and listened to each other sigh. After a while, the demon muttered in a low voice.
“But I’m glad I’m the ambassador type.”
“Stupid bastard.”
“I hope so, you guy.”
“Ugly guy.”
We stared ahead with blank expressions and sighed at the same time. I said this to support the three people.
“To Mo Yongbaek.”
“….”
“I need to ask you to find a rare elixir that is good for children to take, helps with internal energy training, is effective quickly, and has fewer side effects. The more strength you have, the better. That way, you can achieve martial arts quickly.”
The demon next to me nodded.
“That’s a good idea.”
He also admitted to having sex.
“that’s right. “We can’t be the only ones suffering.”
Strangely enough, it was only then that I started to feel a little more at ease. The reason why is actually none of my business.
