Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 84

Episode #84. Yuna-kyung saw it.

[Um…]

Limon’s room at the Leviathan Hotel.

On the desk, a baby bird, still downy, nodded eagerly.

Tok tok tok tok.

It’s been a while since I put my heart and soul into making pretty flower shapes with my beak like a craftsman carving a Buddha statue.

After completing the deformed flower shape with four petals, Yuna-kyung gulped down the piece of snack she had been plucking with her beak.

and muttered

[Team leader, you’re busy.]

After the disaster at Black Dragon Construction by unidentified beasts.

The Black Dragon clan was moving without hesitation.

Is it to avenge his cousin?

Or is it for greed?

Wang Shikong mobilized all the strength of the Shanghai royal family to find the beasts, and most of the other Black Dragon clan members were helping the investigation, albeit indirectly.

In the meantime, I was also looking at work as the original company, so everyone was forced to be busy.

Limon was no exception.

After fending off the secondary attack of the thoracic beast.

He kept busy predicting the target of the beasts and preparing for the attack.

And in fact, as the prediction continued to come true, the number of subsidiaries joining the Guardian increased secretly, and Limon was getting busier.

[If that’s the case, take me with you.]

Thanks to that, Yuna-kyung was bored.

Because Limon left it, I had already been locked in my room for days looking at my smartphone.

I don’t know if it’s a dead person in the corner of the room.

Originally, she liked noisy things, so when she didn’t have work, she would go out and make them.

[…Should we go see the kids again?]

So that was it.

That is why Na-kyung Yun sneaked out of the room.

If I stayed in my room like this, I would feel stuffy and mold would grow on my body.

Of course, Limon’s door was tightly closed, but that was no hindrance to her.

[Yap!]

Boom!

right after a short sigh.

The figure of Yuna-kyung, who had disappeared from the desk, suddenly appeared outside the door.

It was thanks to the ability to move through space that was significantly improved compared to when he first escaped from the zoo because he had grown old.

[Anyway, it’s amazing.]

Yuna-kyung suddenly tilted her head.

[The team leader said that the snake that connects the ends has already been destroyed, so why am I able to teleport?]

Even if Yuna-gyeong was a high-level teleportation player, that was a thing in her lifetime.

It is not enough to have already died and reincarnated, and it is normal that the skill cannot be used anymore as long as the Constellation with which the contract was signed is gone.

Because skills are received from the Constellation.

Even so, why is he still able to use space movement?

Frankly, it was a strange thing.

[Well, it’s okay to use it for now.]

But that worry is for a while.

Maybe it’s because of his positive nature.

Or is it because of the simple brain structure?

While simply letting go of her worries, Yuna-kyung went to the nursery facility inside the Leviathan, repeating her frequent steps and space-transfers.

[Hmm, the kids are fine.]

Yuna-kyung poked her head out the window.

And each of them read a book or looked at the children running around and made a happy expression.

[I feel like I’ve become a bit cold… but I still have to go to school. Yes.]

All that remains are children.

Thinking of Seongsia and other children who should be at school by now, Yuna-kyung put on a sad expression.

The distance traveled was longer than before, but at least within a radius of ten meters.

It was unreasonable for her to even look at the children who had gone to school with her quick steps, as she was still barely able to walk around the inside of the Leviathan.

[If I could fly, I would be able to walk around alone… When will I grow up?]

Wanting to become an adult quickly is the privilege of only children, so why should I worry about this?

I was watching the children with cute eyes while sighing once again.

It is the words that met the eyes of a child.

“uh? leak!”

[Ah!]

Maybe it’s because I watched too intently.

Yuna-kyung, who was caught in an ambush not like a PAB agent in her previous life, hurriedly shook her head in regret.

Please say you saw it wrong and hope you move on.

“Bird, play with me!”

However, despite Yuna-kyung’s wishes, the child ran towards her in a straight line like a runaway locomotive.

[Eight emergency escape!]

Boom!

“uh? is it a bird? Where have you been?”

In the end, Yuna-kyung escaped.

Wouldn’t it be better if it was a raw man?

He did not know that his identity might be revealed if he got entangled with the children from the nursery school he had met often in his lifetime.

[Whoa, I almost died.]

…Of course, there were times when I felt more threatened than that.

Yuna-kyung loved all of her younger siblings at the nursery school, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t strong enough to expect the kids to control their strength.

She knew all too well how frantically children treat their toys.

[Are you too embarrassed? There was no need to come all the way to the practice room.]

Yuna-kyung scratched the collar of her head.

Evacuation to a safe place means that he inadvertently came to the practice room he and Limon used to come to often.

For her, ‘the safest place’ had the same meaning as ‘the place where Limon is’ and allophones.

Although it was ironic that Yuna-kyung in her lifetime was killed by Limon’s sword.

[Uhm, it’s a little bit like going to see the kids again, but.]

I was worried for a while.

Yuna-kyung suddenly turned her head.

And he looked at the box containing the deep black violin stored inside the practice room and made a sad expression.

[If I had a team leader, I would have asked him to play for me.]

After getting the deep black violin.

It was Yuna-kyung who listened to Limon’s performance using it the most.

Still, she always thought.

I wish Limon would play the dark violin more often.

Although Limon’s playing skills have improved a lot, the performance when using the deep black violin is completely different.

[Since you said you will train moderately, will there be fewer opportunities to listen in the future?]

Yuna-kyung crossed her arms with her wings.

And while looking at the box gently, he opened the beak without realizing it.

[…It’s a pity.]

I didn’t believe in Limon’s ambitious goal, which seemed to be on a deep-sea fishing boat, that he would play a violin as good as a deep-dark violin with only pure skills.

But I’ve heard more of Limon’s performances than anyone else.

And knowing that crazy talent.

Yuna-kyung muttered involuntarily.

The possibility is low, but what kind of sound will the deep-dark violin make if Limon really achieves the level of performance he wants?

Because I was a little curious.

[The team leader is immortal, so I don’t know if one day I’ll be able to play what I really want… but will I be able to do it until I die again?]

How long will a bird’s lifespan really be ?

Thinking deeply, Yuna-kyung let out a laugh.

Even when he was a human, he couldn’t enjoy his natural life, and it felt ridiculous to calculate his lifespan after being born again.

[How are you? It’s a life that I live as a bonus anyway.]

She smiled and turned around.

There was nothing more to see, so I thought about going back to my room.

[Huh?]

Yuna-kyung widened her eyes.

the moment you turn around.

Because our eyes met.

With a strangely familiar girl staring at him from right behind him.

[Eh?]

Yuna-gyeong, who took a step back in embarrassment as to why she didn’t notice until the girl came right behind her, blinked her eyes.

For some reason, the girl’s appearance was a bit strange.

Like feet floating in the air.

A body that is reflected on the other side.

Strangely empty eyes, etc.

[Ehh?]

Slowly.

When Yuna-kyung tilts her head at the strangely unrealistic appearance of the girl.

The girl’s figure disappeared.

As if it never existed in the first place.

Or… like a disembodied being.

And the moment when Yuna-gyeong finally remembered what they usually say about such an existence.

[Kyaaaaaagh! An ear ghost!?]

A roaring salt wave pouring out of the telepathy item shook the entire practice room.

* * *

“So.”

The headache is already gone.

Temporarily to massage the temples.

Limon looked at the blue bird, which still had immaculate down, with cool eyes.

“Is that all you are saying after sending a brain-shaking remote telepathy to the already busy team leader out of the blue?”

[It’s just that! It’s because there’s a ghost! A ghost?!]

Yuna-gyeong exclaims as if it’s unfair.

But Limon’s reaction was lukewarm.

“So what?”

[Ah! Because you believe me! I saw it with my own two eyes!]

“Didn’t you say you didn’t believe it?”

[Yes?]

“I would believe that a ghost appeared, but that would be a surprise.”

[…No, isn’t the team leader surprised that a ghost appeared?]

Looking at Yuna-gyeong, who seemed bewildered, Limon asked back with a more puzzled expression.

“Na Kyung-ah, do you know what people say when a lost child reappears in front of people and makes a noise?”

[Isn’t that a ghost?]

“Then, can a ghost see the same ghost or not?”

[Of course there is.]

“Yes, but why should I be surprised by such an obvious fact?”

[…???]

I blinked a few times wondering what this meant.

Realizing the meaning of Limon’s words only a beat late, Yuna-kyung jumped up and down and screamed.

[I’m not a ghost, I’m a reincarnated person!?]

“Anyway, it’s the same as being gone and coming back.”

[What kind of compulsion is there!?]

“Originally, the truth of life is forced to be heard.”

In response to that calm and weak answer, Yuna-kyung stomped her feet, but Limon didn’t pay much attention.

For him, who had been fed up with everything from zombies to demons whenever he subdued warlocks, the sighting of a ghost was nothing new to him.

But that didn’t mean I completely ignored Yuna-kyung’s eyewitness account.

‘Hmm, the Leviathan Hotel is not a place where common rich spirits can enter.’

I don’t know if it’s a building built by the player with the building skill these days.

The Leviathan Hotel was built in a traditional way, and that tradition included the Jinbeop of the Seven Dragons and the barrier of the temple.

Without such measures, Leviathan was the perfect place to become a haunted den of ghosts.

‘And if the ghost still appears… it’s either one of them. Either what Nakyung saw wasn’t a ghost, or it came from somewhere.’

However, Noh Kang-ho is Noh Kang-ho.

Limon was able to quickly identify the conditions under which the ghost would appear even in Leviathan.

As a bonus, what might be the powerful magical tool that could have served as a medium for ignoring the barrier and moving the ghost to the inside of the Leviathan?

“A ghost to a cursed instrument. It’s a combination that goes really well together.”

Limon frowned as he looked at the box containing the deep black violin.

Hearing this, Yuna-kyung was furious.

[Eh? Wait! Then that ghost is attached to the team leader’s violin!?]

“I’m not sure. It’s just one of the possibilities, but…”

[But what?!]

“I told you that whenever I play that violin, I feel a strange presence. It would make sense if that was a sign of a ghost.”
