Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 87

Episode #87. troublesome friend.

Is earning a living more important?

Or is art more important?

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.

While listening to the story of the two people running parallel, Yuna-kyung muttered with a puzzled expression.

[The fact that you can communicate well with the team leader is something that the team leader can recognize as a friend.]

‘What’s good about it? You’re very stubborn.’

[So it works well. Ordinary people would fall flat on their stomachs even if the team leader glared at them

. You go around threatening people with your eyes?’

Limon partly acknowledged her words even as he stinged back at Yuna-kyung.

In any case, it was true that Eugene was quite bold.

“Oh, partner. I feel sick from talking about it. Can I order some more food?”

“…Yes, eat as much as you like.”

…Maybe I wasn’t bold, I just didn’t know.

Is it an ulterior motive to fill up all the starvation so far?

Limon lightly clicked his tongue as he watched Eugene again order the table full of food and devour it in clumps.

‘This guy is an artist by nature.’

[Because I’m used to starving?]

‘No, in that I never notice others.’

[Is it the nature of an artist to be shameless?!]

‘It’s not necessarily like that, but it’s easy for kids who have the courage to step on the accelerator alone when everyone else is stopped at a red light, leaving their names in art history.’

[That’s not to say that I have a backbone, it’s that I’ve turned around?! If you drive, you’ll get into a big accident, and you’ll be famous in today’s events, not art history

.

[An artist’s life is a death match where

you risk your life!?] ‘It’s similar in that they value art more than their own lives.’

Limon laughed.

I don’t know if it’s in this day and age.

Until a few hundred years ago, most artists were treated like beggars from the bottom of society.

In the meantime, one of them became an artist.

They were those who had their wealth and status guaranteed, such as nobles and priests, and those who pursued art even when they were prepared to starve to death.

However, very few of them, especially the latter, have left their names in history.

Most of them only lived for today.

“So partner, when are we going to do our next gig?”

Just like Eugene, who only thinks about music while gulping down food in front of him.

“Hmm… I had something to say about that anyway. For the time being, it will be difficult for me to perform with you.”

“what? why?!”

“Something happened to me.”

“Nonsense! Whatever the circumstances, we must perform!”

Eugene shouts resolutely as if he were a creditor who came to collect debt.

Her attitude was so resolute and brazen that Yuna-gyeong, who was listening, wondered for a moment whether it was Limon who owed the debt.

“Even if you say that, it’s because my situation is very difficult right now.”

But Limon was stubborn.

No matter how important it was to melt the fragments of starlight, it was more urgent to stop the attack right now.

I didn’t know when there would be massive damage even among the civilians, not just the Black Dragon Clan, if I let the beasts rampage like this.

“What is the matter?”

“It’s complicated to explain.”

“Am I a partner’s partner? So you deserve to know why you couldn’t perform.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

Judging that Eugene’s argument had some truth, Limon explained his situation roughly.

Except for the part where he’s actually Limon Aspelder, his relationship with the Seven Dragons, or the trouble with stopping dangerous criminals.

so after a while.

Yujin blinked blankly and asked.

“So, you were able to cheat by knowing which rules you knew before, but that rule disappeared, so you’re thinking about it?”

“Why is the summary like that?”

“I just said the partner description…?”

“Oh yeah? Then that is correct.”

It was Yuna-kyung, rather than Eugene, who was turned upside down by that insincere statement.

[Oh no! What kind of explanation do you use that way?]

‘I can’t reveal my true identity or that the Seven Dragons are being attacked.’

[No matter what, there is such a thing as degree! There’s no way there’s anyone in the world who can understand that incredibly rough explanation!?]

“OK, I understand.”

[But why does this person agree?!]

Yuna-kyung, who has become an eye for aliens.

However, Eugene, who did not hear the flame, nodded alone and patted Limon on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry too much about your partner. Life is one shot, so even if you don’t know the rules, you’ll be able to hit them one day.”

“If you wait for that one shot and let go, the company will start to decline first, right?”

“Did you touch public money? Um, that would be difficult.”

“…What are you talking about?”

Limon asked in amazement.

Seeing him like that, Yujin also tilted her head.

“huh? Didn’t you say that your partner went to the casino and blew money, so it’s hard to perform with me now that he’s busy paying off his debt?”

“How do you interpret my story to be like that?”

“Well, isn’t it usually gamblers or stockbrokers who are overjoyed that they have found the rule of victory, then go bankrupt and find a new rule again?”

[Puhahahahaha!]

‘…does it make you laugh?’

[Of course it comes out! Oh my goodness, the team leader says he’s a gambler. He says the real world is something to live for a long time and see.]

‘You’ve already died.’

[Oh, don’t be cowardly and hit me with pacts.]

‘Then should I hit you with honey chestnuts instead of pacts?’

There was a bit of a misunderstanding along the way, but Eugene, who understood the situation more properly through additional explanations, tilted his head.

“Well, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I know your partner is in trouble.”

[They usually gave up thinking about such things… quack!]

“Okay, that’s all you need to know.”

Limon pushed a whole cherry tomato into Yuna-kyung’s beak.

It was hard to talk about it in detail anyway, so I didn’t have the heart to bother explaining anything again to Yujin, who had only roughly understood it.

“By the way, partner. Are those rules really gone?”

“What do you mean by that?”

It was for this reason that Limon made a sullen expression at Eugene’s sudden question.

“There is a lot of music where the rhythm is messed up. But no matter how messed up the music, if you listen carefully you can feel the rhythm.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about anymore?”

“Don’t think, feel!”

“Aren’t you a master of the Seven Dragons, famous for being a movie star?”

“Umm…”

Maybe it’s because it’s hard to explain in words.

It’s time to wrap my head and think about it for a while.

As if he had a good idea, Eugene suddenly smiled brightly and held out an item to Limon.

“…why are you giving this to me again?”

“Your partner doesn’t have an instrument today.”

“No, so why are you holding out your guitar to me?”

“Take it at once. Then I know.”

For a moment I was dubious.

He eventually accepted a particularly heavy guitar.

It was because he knew that if he didn’t pick up the guitar, Eugene would stick it out for hours.

But Limon soon realized.

that it was a mistake.

As soon as he handed over the guitar, Eugene jumped up from his seat.

that reckless action.

slightly parted lips.

Above all, that smile.

Because I told Limon about Eugene’s intentions.

“Hey, can you…!?”

But that realization came too late.

Because before he hurriedly stopped him, Eugene was letting out the breath he had already contained.

Aren’t you hungry?

…in the form of a song resonating resonantly throughout the restaurant.

At the same time, the gaze is focused.

From the busy waitress carrying the trays to the boss yawning at the customer counter while he was eating.

People who listen to the song that exploded in the middle of the restaurant and put on a puzzled expression.

But Eugene didn’t stop.

Are you not feeling the gaze?

Or are you enjoying it at all?

He just continued to sing with a cheerful smile on his face.

I want to eat a sweet pie.

I want to eat warm soup.

It is the food of my soul.

‘…Damn it.’

Limon washed his face dry.

To be shameless, he was recognized by Yuna-kyung, but now it was hard to bear the shame.

Out of nowhere in the middle of a restaurant, singing a song with excitement? I could have passed that rather.

The problem was Eugene’s song itself.

[What is this messed up song?!]

‘Is that what you hear?’

[of course! I’m a bird with ears too?]

Of course, Eugene is still immature.

I wonder if it’s time for Limon to support me.

When he sings by himself, his lack of technique is so noticeable that the emotions that can be said to be Eugene’s greatest strength are not conveyed well.

However, the song Eugene was singing now was such a mess that it was hard to listen to even taking that into consideration.

From pitch to rhythm beat.

Because everything was running around.

[This person was still good at singing, right? But why are you suddenly calling me like this?]

‘It’s not just calling. They’re calling me crazy.’

[What’s the difference between that?!]

‘It’s not that I deliberately sang it in a mess, it’s that I messed up because I tried to sing it while composing and writing the lyrics.’

[…What’s wrong???]

It’s been awhile since I’ve been shot by a slingshot.

After belatedly understanding Limon’s meaning, Yuna-kyung opened her beak.

[Wait a minute, so this is an impromptu song?]

‘Yes.’

[Isn’t this a pre-made song?]

‘Wouldn’t the sound jump like this?’

Only then did Yuna-kyung understand the reason why Yu-jin’s song sounded so messed up and asked with all her might.

[No, why? Did they say that they couldn’t control the sudden burst of creativity?]

‘I’m asking you to follow me.’

[Yeah???]

Yuna-kyung makes a dumbfounded expression.

But Limon didn’t explain further.

I just stared at Eugene happily singing and grabbed the guitar handed to him with a sigh.

[Uh… wait.]

[Chief? What are you going to do?]

[No way? You say this is an impromptu song? Then it’s a song that doesn’t even have sheet music at all, right?]

As if he realized something belatedly.

Yuna-kyung asks in dismay.

That point was clearly correct.

Limon’s ability to imitate any performance with just one look is certainly phenomenal.

However, it was only a feat that was possible only because of the sword master’s super senses and physical abilities.

It’s the chords and rhythms that are being composed in real time beyond the level of hearing for the first time in my life, and I’m going to play along with this song that completely ignores everything.

It was something Yuna-kyung couldn’t understand at all.

‘I really want it.’

In fact, it was the same with Limon.

It was to the point that he had no idea how to match this impromptu song to the point that he had a short playing career in the first place.

But Limon never let go of the guitar.

As if he had no doubt that he would follow,

Eugene, who steadfastly sang in the midst of everyone’s absurd and disdainful gaze, took away Limon’s choice.

‘Well, it’s because I’ve been suffering from headaches lately. It’s not bad to chill out a bit by hanging out with them.’

When you don’t have a good idea anyway, changing your mood is one way.

a bit bittersweet

a little bit silly

I feel a little bit happy.

The moment when Limon finally plucked the guitar strings in such a complicated feeling.

Ding –

The jaws of those who were watching Yujin with absurd faces, including Yuna-kyung, dropped.
