Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 740
#740. You know it when you experience it.

[…I want to know if it’s true.]
“Yes.”
[Surprised. It’s a surprise. It is beyond imagination.]
“I am very surprised. Because I was very surprised.”
[I’m glad I found it. If I couldn’t find it, there would be a fuss.]
“I’d like to say, ‘I’m looking for someone, it’s a piece of cake…’ but honestly, it’s not that easy.”
[Make sure it was that difficult.]
“Quite. To be honest, if I hadn’t brought Blue, it would have taken longer.”
[I understand. The wilderness is unique.]
“No, the place is also a place, but the other side is more of a problem.”
[…I want to know if the condition is that bad.]
“It’s more than I’ve heard. Because you didn’t even recognize me right away.”
[It’s dangerous. The condition may worsen over time. I need to use my hands as soon as possible.]
“I want to do that too, but it’s dangerous to rush too much. It must have taken a little longer than I thought.”
[All right. Even if I’m lonely for the time being, I endure it.]
“Hmm, that’s unexpected. I thought you wouldn’t be lonely because you and your sister got along so well these days.”
[I like Lee. But at times like this, it’s a bit nasty.]
“That’s a coincidence. I like you too.”
[…Correction. I hate you very much.]
“I’m sorry for being mean.”
[I just need to know. Instead, be careful.]
“Don’t worry. For the time being, I plan to approach it carefully.”
[That’s not what I’m talking about. This is Lee’s identity story.]
“Status?”
[That’s right. The identity written by Li this time has already become too famous. All sorts of troublesome things will happen.]
“I’m used to troublesome things too.”
[So you have to be more careful.]
“Hmm?”
[Lee has been a celebrity since time immemorial. However, in this day and age, being famous just for being famous and being famous as an artist are both annoying and different in direction.]
“Are you, the princess of the Seven Dragons, enough to say that?”
[That’s right. As the White Dragon Princess, I also had a hard time. So Lee will also suffer.]
“…What the hell is going through?”
[I know by experiencing it.]
“…?”

Even if his career is short.
Black Dog was a gunman who went through all sorts of battles.
Because he had no armor, he could only hunt down fallen spirits.
Other than that, I did anything from bounty hunting to mafia entanglements, as long as it didn’t make money and crossed the line of the law.
Even the other gunmen stick out their tongues.
In that sense.
she was thinking
This guard isn’t difficult either.
No, maybe it’s the easiest job of all the jobs he’s ever taken on.
Even famous violinists are ordinary people after all.
At least there will be no such thing as being attacked by a hostile organization while escorting a mafia boss.
But the next day.
she found out
What a great delusion it was.
“You mean you are traveling for new inspiration?”
“Not for inspiration. I’m just going around here and there because I’m proud of myself.”
“You are saying that you are constantly improving your skills while playing. What an uplifting spirit!”
“…well, that could be it.”
Wrong.
It’s basically just playing and eating.
Inspiration is just a word.
It means it’s good if it happens and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t happen.
The reporter put on an expectant expression as she swallowed back the words that came out of her throat with tightly pursed lips.
“Then, do you have any plans for a performance?”
“No, no.”
“But during your stay here, if you suddenly get inspired, you might want to perform, right?”
“If you really want to perform, wouldn’t it be possible to set up a schedule in a bigger city?”
“Yeah, but. It would be burdensome to perform right away on such a big stage, so you can do it in a more suitable place as a rehearsal…”
“In a small town in the wilderness, for example?”
“Exactly!”
“Okay, then I’ll consider it when I go to the next city.”
“I can’t…!”
“Interview time is over. let me out.”
“Wait a minute! One or three more…!”
After the hotel guards in suits dragged the journalist who was struggling to stay.
Lee asked with a tired face.
“What was your next schedule?”
“I am not the secretary to the boss. A bodyguard.”
“I’m asking because I’m a bodyguard. Knowing the escort target’s schedule is the basis of escort, isn’t it?”
“…I don’t have any promises for now.”
“Oh yeah?”
It’s like I want to live for a while.
Lee unbuttoned his collar and gulped down the water in front of him.
And he sighed.
“It’s not like a swarm of bees gathering in a hive. How do you know I’m here and keep coming from all over the place like this?”
“…It’s half because of Ferrick.”
“Ferrick? The gentleman you brokered? But the bartender must have a duty of secrecy.”
“Because keeping a secret and keeping a secret are two different things.”
“Is there a hole in security… tsk.”
Li clicked her tongue.
Come to think of it, it wasn’t too much.
Because the bar is a place where all kinds of gunslingers and information gather, there are just as many eavesdropping ears.
That’s why bars in big cities use magic tools to thoroughly secure security, but in such a small town, you couldn’t expect that much.
Of course, a bar is a bar.
It wouldn’t have been easy to get the information out, but…
‘Although half of it is because of me.’
In a short period of time, she was called the best gunman in the city and attracted attention.
There are many people who actually tried to pry behind them.
If anyone had seen her go in and out of the Leviathan Hotel, they might have been more eager to find out more about Lee.
But Black Dog didn’t bother to say that.
Unless there was a hole in the Leviathan, Lee’s identity must have been leaked from Ferrick’s side, so in other words, he
wasn’t lying.
“Thanks for bothering me.”
“If it bothers you, you can kick it out.”
“If you kick them out without even looking at them, you’re doing this because you’re making up unnecessary words and creating a fuss.”
Listen to Limon’s grumble.
Black Dog agreed in his heart.
In fact, after it became known that he was staying here, the commotion in the city was indescribable.
All kinds of fake news out there.
Fans camped out in front of the hotel.
Even from the mayor to the sheriff, all of Yuji’s came to visit once.
I’m glad this is Leviathan.
Elsewhere, even first-class hotels would not have been able to stop the influx, either through pressure or physically.
He calmed down a bit because he decided to have a minimum meeting.
How much of a commotion would have grown if the two doors had been kept intact.
I couldn’t even guess.
‘It’s really famous, but it’s famous, this solicitor.’
Black Dog, who was able to see all of that while working as a bodyguard, looked at him with new eyes.
The sheriff said he would take responsibility for safety.
The mayor who said he would take care of all the conveniences.
Even the code that said that he would pay for the hotel, so he could stay as long as he wanted.
It was the appearance of people who would normally be condescending, so eager to offer their liver and gallbladder just to sign an autograph and shake hands.
Is it because you are so good at playing?
It made me wonder.
‘It has nothing to do with me.’
But she quickly lost interest in it.
No matter how beautiful the performance was, just listening to it didn’t make money.
Rather, it was the other side that Black Dog was interested in.
“I have a question for you, sir.”
“what?”
“What is the perfume brand, boss?”
“perfume…?”
It sounds like you heard something stupid.
Take a moment to blink your eyes.
Lee put on a very subtle expression, as if he realized something only belatedly.
“Oh nostalgia. You mean that scent that smells like me?”
“huh. If it’s not too expensive, I’d like to get one too.”
“That will be difficult.”
“why? Is it that expensive?”
“Rather than being expensive, it’s more like a limited edition with only eight in the world. It’s not something you can buy with money.”
In other words, it’s expensive because it’s a limited edition.
Black Dog, who naturally translated Lee’s answer in his brain, frowned.
“…then you don’t intend to sell the boss to me?”
“Well, what if I gave you about half of the shares in the Seven Dragon Group?”
‘Damned bourgeois, get hit by lightning…’
Black Dog felt his insides boil.
It’s not enough to monopolize that good perfume in limited edition, making fun of yourself for having a lot of money.
If he wasn’t the target of bodyguards, he would have shown a tingling taste.
The money was nothing.
It was time for Black Dog to reflect on the curse of modern society steeped in mammonism amid such burning envy and jealousy.
Lee suddenly opened his mouth.
“By the way, black dog, I have a question for you too.”
“Don’t call me a black dog.”
“Oh yeah? After all, the dark puppy is cuter, isn’t it?”
“….”
‘It’s money, it’s nabal, so I’ll just shoot it…’
Why is a person with such a personality who treats people like dogs just because he has some money is the best violinist in the world?
to her puzzled
Lee raised a finger.
“That bracelet.”
Black Dog was taken aback.
Then he asked coldly, putting his wrist behind his back.
“…why is this?”
“I was wondering where I came from. If there is a place that sells it, I will try to get one too.”
“Money won’t buy it.”
“okay?”
“If you ever intend to live with me, give up. I have no intention of selling even if I give away all of the shares in the Seven Dragon Group.”
Black Dog cut it off.
As a fugitive, this bracelet that hides her identity is something that can never be sold?
Because it’s one of the few clues to her own past?
Of course, that was the reason, but the most important thing was that it was impossible.
This bracelet is ‘own’.
Because it was a ‘treasure’ that I couldn’t yield to anyone and didn’t want to take away.
What if someone else tried to take away this thing that even Jenny couldn’t touch?
Just imagining it made my blood boil.
“Hmm… Is this right?”
Was it because the answer was so stern?
Lee, who had been looking at her with his eyes narrowed, nodded.
It was a time when Black Dog felt proud that he had informed this bourgeois that there are things in the world that cannot be done with money.
smart.
“Could you excuse me for a moment, sir?”
“What is it?”
“I have a letter to deliver.”
“Didn’t you say you would decline all fan letters and invitations?”
“Yes, but this letter is a bit unique, so I think you should check it out for yourself.”
“Is it unique?”
I don’t know if anyone else
No matter how small the point, what is it that a person whose name and color is equal to the manager of Leviathan is unique?
Though puzzled, Lee received the letter brought by the manager.
And the moment you unfold it.
His eyebrows twitched.
“…Huh, I think it would be a good idea to hire the Dark Dog’s family.”
“What does it mean?”
“It’s nothing.”
Is it funny?
Or is it absurd?
Or is it stupid?
Lee, who had been muttering with a strange face that was completely indistinguishable, finally handed out the letter with a bitter smile.
“I think I now understand why the seniors in the industry asked me to be so careful.”
“…”
It’s been a while since I’ve received a threat letter like this.
There is only one thing Black Dog can do after listening to what he said by showing a letter made by cutting out newspaper letters.
He was delighted that his curse had passed so quickly, and he was seriously considering whether there was any way to receive a security premium.
