Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 153
#153. It’s the one you’ve been looking for.
* * *
A salty, windy shore.
A girl was sitting on the railing overlooking the wide sea.
like looking at the sea.
Or as if looking up at the sky.
Or like not seeing anything.
I hope that I will not blink once and stare at the empty space with foggy eyes.
The girl lowered her head slowly.
forward forward.
and some more forward.
So, the center is leaning forward.
The moment the girl’s unbalanced body was about to fall down the railing.
“princess! Were you dozing off here again after ostracizing Tata?”
“no. I didn’t sleep.”
It was an instant.
before falling off the ledge.
The girl, who regained her balance with only her fingers, replied bluntly as if nothing had happened.
“Don’t lie! I ran here when I saw that the princess almost fell from her sleep.”
“Tata was wrong. It is clear.”
A girl who is calmly unfaithful.
But the woman called Tata was not fooled.
Rather, he only questioned the girl with more bitter eyes.
“Even if you say that with grim eyes, Tata won’t believe it!”
“I slept with my eyes open. There is no reason to frown.”
“After all, you’re being courteous, right?”
Did he realize that he fell for the judo newspaper?
The girl whose pupils were shaking with an expressionless face slightly averted her eyes and murmured.
“Tata lied. It is a great sin to deceive the princess. It is the death penalty.”
“Kill to kill. If you’re prepared to never eat Tata’s homemade crembos again.”
“…taking Krembo hostage is cowardly. Tata is atrocious. There is no separate Black Dragon clan.”
“Did you not know? Tata is the one who decided to be more toxic than the Black Dragon Clan ever since she became the princess’s nanny.”
It seems like that is also an insult.
Tata snorts triumphantly.
The girl drooped her shoulders.
There was no way that Tata, who could confidently say such terrible things, would be eaten by his own swear words.
“I’ve taken care of all the backlogs. I’m putting off going on tour again. At the very least, it should be guaranteed rest.”
“Don’t cry. After all, most of that work was done by Tata, right?”
“It is also a princess’ job to manage her clan well.”
“You speak well.”
One time he shook his head as he saw the girl muttering with an expressionless face.
Tata said as if to reassure her.
“Don’t be so squeamish. I didn’t come here to make the princess work again.”
“Tata is a habitual liar. Hard to believe.”
“I swear to the deceased Tata’s sister that it is true.”
“…then I’ll believe you.”
Where did the distrust from before go?
A girl nodding her head in relief.
Tata held out a box and a letter to her.
“Take it. If you read this carefully, Tata will step back.”
“Tata has too many small worries. I don’t know why you think I won’t be able to read this either.”
It seems like this would be an easy thing to do.
A girl who proudly picked up the letter.
Tata responded to the question by holding out a hand.
“It’s because the Black Dragon Princess sent this letter.”
ping!
It was right after that.
The fact that the girl threw away the correspondence and tried to run away.
It was also the fact that Tata, who was preparing in advance, grabbed the scruff of his neck.
“Where are you going without reading the letter?”
“I am not. It wasn’t there from the beginning. So I didn’t even get a letter. Please send it back.”
“Even if you run away, read the letter and run away. What kind of insolence is this in one letter from one of the princesses of our clan?”
“It’s not just a letter. It’s a letter from the devil. Cursed if you see it. Undoubtedly.”
As if seeing something more terrible than a letter written on the skin of a leper using the pus of a plague patient as ink.
A girl who is grabbed by the scruff of her neck and struggles to get away from the letter.
“Keep your body tight, princess!”
Tata yelled out loud.
And fiercely questioned the flinching girl.
“Now that the Black Dragon Clan has collapsed, they are called the weakest member of the Seven Dragons. But what are you saying is so scary?”
“I am afraid of being assassinated.”
“Do not worry. If the princess ever dies, Tata will avenge her instead.”
“I want to know why you don’t say it will be safe.”
Tata replied as if he was talking nonsense.
“There’s no way to guarantee 100% safety against the Black Dragon clan, right?”
“…If I had known it would be like this, I would have just dreamed and died peacefully.”
It seems to have reached the point of resignation.
A girl with stretched limbs.
Tata put her down and said briskly.
“Do not worry too much. I checked it several times before bringing it, so it should be safe for now.”
“Hearing that makes me more anxious.”
Despite protesting with an expressionless face, the girl eventually accepted the letter with trembling hands.
After reading the letter like that for a while.
Correspondence explodes or.
or poisonous smoke.
confusion, etc.
The girl let out a sigh of relief after confirming that none of the things she worried about had happened.
Tata told her confidently.
“Look at that. You said nothing would happen.”
“…Tata then I’d like to know why they’re so far away.”
“That’s because we don’t know what kind of dangerous device might be in the letter, so it’s to secure a safe distance.”
“…”
Why wasn’t that woman born into the Black Dragon clan?
The girl carefully read the letter, suppressing the rapidly rising doubts.
And he tilted his head.
“…?”
turn the letter over.
Stand up and shine in the sunlight,
apply saliva to your fingertips, and so on.
After trying all kinds of things, the girl tilts her head again.
“princess? What is the content of the letter?”
“It is an invitation.”
“You mean an invitation?”
“no. It is just an invitation.”
Hearing those incomprehensible words, he put on a suspicious expression for a while.
Tata received a letter from the girl.
and was silent
[Come.]
Tata, who was looking at the letter of unknown meaning because it was really simple, asked for confirmation.
“…Is this all there is to it?”
“I can’t see the secret text message.”
“If it looks like that in the first place, it is not a secret message, but it seems that there really is no such thing.”
What was the intention of the Black Dragon Princess who sent this letter?
While Tata is immersed in worries.
The girl opened the box that came with the letter.
Then, looking at the tablet neatly packed in the box, I tilted my head repeatedly and carefully took it out.
Ding-dong.
“…!”
right after that.
The tablet turned on by itself.
For a moment, I almost threw the tablet away in a fright.
The girl immediately hesitated.
Then he looked closely at the tablet again.
To hear some guitar sounds and songs that started echoing in the video that automatically played as soon as the power was turned on.
Out of focus picture quality.
More than that, faint sound quality.
Even the noise mixed here and there.
Even at a glance, the messy video shows that it was filmed properly with a smartphone.
Still, the girl couldn’t take her eyes off the tablet.
I just watched the video as if I was possessed.
“princess? Why?”
How strange did it look?
Tata repeatedly spoke to the girl.
Only when the call exceeded five times did the girl open her mouth bluntly.
“Tata needs teleportation. Please prepare.”
“Are you accepting the invitation? Do you know where the Black Dragon Princess is now?”
“That’s right.”
“Are you serious?”
“I mean it sincerely.”
Have you ever been hypnotized after watching a video?
I even looked at the girl suspiciously for a while.
Tata suddenly hardened his face.
“Did you see something?”
The girl didn’t answer.
Knowing that silence meant affirmation, Tata asked repeatedly.
“What did you see?”
“This is the person I’ve been looking for all along.”
“…what did you just say?”
“If I can’t meet you this time, I’ll have to travel around the world looking for someone for years.”
A girl who repeatedly replies with an expressionless face.
For a long time to see her and be silent.
Tata sighed.
“Surely then you should go.”
“I ask for an escort.”
“Don’t say anything out of the ordinary. There’s no way the princess will be sent to a country where the swordsmith’s evil spirit resides, with poor escorts.”
It’s like believing in yourself.
Tata responded proudly.
After she backed off to prepare for departure.
Left alone, the girl trudged and approached the railing again.
And threw the letter in his hand.
flutter.
Is it because of the strong winds of the Mediterranean Sea?
Instead of falling down, the letter soared into the sky and flew far away on the wind.
But the girl knew.
It’s only for a moment that the letter flies.
In the end, it will fall into the sea and disappear without leaving a trace.
So the girl, who had been staring at the letter blankly, got off the railing.
“Rather ….”
Jerusalem, the last holy place in the world.
Even there, at the top of the palace surrounded by thirty-three spiers, the gray-haired girl Ainsha quietly muttered something she couldn’t bear to finish.
* * *
“Hmm….”
[Why is that?]
‘No, I feel like someone is swearing at me.’
[That’s a very strange thing. I’ve been swearing at the team leader every day since I was active as a PAB.]
‘That’s what the guys who were caught by me for doing bad things said.’
I even scratched my ears for a while.
Limon opened the door and went out.
Then he asked Seungjun Kim, who was outside.
“How are you? Are you okay?”
“….”
“Why is there no answer?”
As if it had been hit by a petrification beam.
Not even blinking, Kim Seung-joon, who had stopped breathing and was stiff, was finally released from the stiffness.
And without knowing it, he asked.
“What was it?”
“what?”
“Just that.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that you were too sleepy to hear?”
“I heard you, so you’re asking!”
Seungjun Kim shouted out loud.
Then he was hit on the forehead and rolled across the floor.
“Where does this bastard raise his voice to adults?”
“Ugh. I’m sorry. Stop because I am so surprised.”
In terms of appearance, he is older than himself.
Kim Seung-joon couldn’t even think of questioning that fact.
Because I was so lost.
It wasn’t just that.
It was because everyone with ears and eyes in this place, including Yeon-hwa, was looking at Limon with faces as if they had seen a ghost.
“What are you so surprised about? He’s not the first to hear me play.”
Let’s look at Limon with a face that doesn’t agree at all.
Kim Seung-joon, impatient, asked again.
“Was it really just a performance?”
“Or what did you hear?”
“That’s…”
Limon laughed at him as he couldn’t bear to answer and blurted out his words.
Then he asked Yeon-hwa, who was still frozen.
“At this level, I think I’ve kept my promise. How is it?”
“…I can see why Director Moon was so anxious about not being able to catch you.”
“Then the preparations are complete.”
[I wonder what kind of expression the team leader would make if he found out that the team leader did this just to screw himself.] Yeon-hwa, with a tired face
.
Watching Limon nod her head in satisfaction at her answer, Yuna-kyung murmured timidly.
For some reason, Kim Seung-joon flinched and opened his mouth while sneaking a look at Limon.
“I’m saying it because of the preparation… Actually, I have something to talk to you about.”
