The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 308
◈ Episode 308, 1 year later (side story episode 2)
“Umm-”
The guide’s daily routine begins in the Labyrinth Lord’s office.
However, starting from the office did not mean that the guide was doing much of anything.
That’s right, the labyrinth was so leisurely that it could be said that there was little – no, nothing – for her to do in the first place.
‘To be precise, it’s leisurely because we no longer make sweets.’
The reason the Labyrinth Lords had some work to do was because they created good fruits.
However, Labyrinth 5, where Kim Joo-hyuk is located, no longer produces good results.
Therefore, there was no particular need to manage the reincarnation center or create relationships with the outside world, including the watchmen.
‘Well, even if you don’t try to create a relationship on this side, it’s a problem because the other side comes looking for you.’
The guide thought of the people who had been searching for Labyrinth 5 one by one since the world began to become truly peaceful.
Sometimes an army of heaven.
Sometimes a watchman.
Sometimes a group.
Sometimes, the same labyrinth master
was visiting the labyrinth with his own guide and gifts that Kim Joo-hyuk did not ask for.
And the guide knew to some extent why they, who were so well-known, were constantly going in and out of Labyrinth 5, which did not produce any good results.
‘Maybe it’s because once they show us hate, there will be no going back…’
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk did not do anything special outside after dealing with Asura.
Rather, Kim Joo-hyuk went straight into the labyrinth after finishing his work and has continued to live a married life with his students.
However, that does not change the fact that Kim Joo-hyuk is a strong person.
He’s taking it easy right now, but what if Kim Joo-hyuk tries to do something at some point? This assumption was being made by everyone except Kim Joo-hyuk.
‘Well, I don’t think he’ll do that.’
The guide remembered Kim Joo-hyuk’s face again.
Obviously, he was reincarnated, but his personality was no different from before or now.
Starting with his lack of greed for power, he also has a strange lack of interest in what is going on in the world.
Plus-
“What are you thinking like that?”
While the guide was thinking, he suddenly turned his attention to the voice he heard, and there he was, Zhong Li-quan, who had already entered the office, sitting down and talking.
“Oh, I was thinking about Kim Joo-hyuk for a moment.”
“…suddenly?”
“I just felt like nothing had changed since I was reincarnated.”
As she spoke with a sigh, Zhong Liquan, who had been thinking for a while, nodded as if he agreed with the story.
“It certainly didn’t seem like much had changed from the past.”
“that’s right.”
“It’s the same thing that students like their teachers.”
“…That’s also interesting.”
In fact, the guide found that more interesting than anything else.
What on earth does Kim Joo-hyuk do to his students that make them follow him almost fanatically?
Or is it that I am sending him affection that goes beyond fanaticism and feels like madness?
The guide was close to him in the past and maintains a close relationship with Kim Joo-hyuk now, but he had no idea how he was seducing his student.
In the first place, by the time the guide and Kim Joo-hyuk met face to face, he had already trained all his students.
“How on earth did they do that?”
A guide muttering as if he was really curious.
How long has it been since those two thought about Kim Joo-hyuk again?
The guide was able to encounter a situation in which he could immediately answer his questions.
“…huh? What is everyone? “Why are you looking at me like that?”
While the guide and Jong Li-kwon were once again admiring Kim Joo-hyuk’s achievements, he came up into the labyrinth.
####
Kim Joo-hyuk had to climb up the labyrinth with his tired body, unable to keep his promise to greet the constellations and have a drink.
‘I didn’t expect to spend two hours…’
Kim Joo-hyuk is the master behind the scenes… No, the time I spent with Yuri was a total of two hours and thirty minutes.
Because of the time it took to pick a single flower from the place where the flowers were in full bloom, Kim Joo-hyuk eventually gave up the idea of going to the Tower of Destruction and immediately changed his destination to the Labyrinth.
‘It’s okay, I can still drink alcohol with Baekho in the evening…!’
He came up to the labyrinth again, revising his plan.
To the guide and Zhong Liquan whom I was able to see for the first time in a while.
“…How did you raise your disciples?”
“huh.”
Kim Joo-hyuk was receiving such questions.
“…What does that mean?”
“It’s a literal story. “I’m just asking because I’m curious about how you raised your students.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who looked a little puzzled by the guide’s question, soon opened his mouth as if it didn’t matter.
“Is there anything special about raising disciples? “I just taught my students how to take care of themselves and live well.”
The guide and Jong Li-kwon make strange expressions at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
Among them, the guide did not erase his strange expression for a while, but soon changed his expression and spoke.
“So, I want to hear a little bit of what you’re teaching.”
“What are you teaching?”
When Jong Li-kwon and the guide nodded at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, he thought for a moment and then started talking about how he started raising his students.
The guide and Zhong Liquan, who had been listening to the story for a while, soon made puzzled expressions and spoke.
“How… the more I listen to the story, the more I feel it…”
“Why aren’t all your students raised through a normal route?”
“Are you saying it’s not a normal route?”
“…No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand how to find a disciple in that way.”
“No matter how you look at it, there is no disagreement that it is a method of selecting students that looks like something out of a cartoon.”
As Giljab and Jong Li-kwon continue to say, is Kim Joo-hyuk like that? Although he was thinking this implicitly, he immediately shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“I don’t know about that. Anyway, that’s how my students got it. By the way, you were the ones who asked me to tell you in the first place, right?”
As Kim Joo-hyuk spoke with a slight frown, the guide chuckled and nodded.
“Well, that’s true. By the way, did you come up here to see Choi A-rin?”
“What are you talking about? “You came to see Choi A-rin?”
“huh? Wasn’t it? “I heard you came up earlier and said you were planning to go somewhere with your teacher, so you came up first?”
“???”
Kim Joo-hyuk has a question mark in his head as if he can’t understand the situation at the guide’s words.
however.
“Master, you have arrived.”
Before Kim Joo-hyuk could even think about what happened, he heard a voice and unconsciously moved his eyes to look in the direction where the voice came from.
“…Why are you here?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk asked a question, Choi Arin very naturally came to sit next to him and wrapped her arms around him.
“You promised last time, right? “When the time comes, let’s go to the village for a while and come back.”
“what…?”
The moment Kim Joo-hyuk said those words, his mind began to run wild.
At the same time, Kim Joo-hyuk remembered a conversation he had with Choi A-rin a few weeks ago when they were sitting on the sofa and having a leisurely day.
‘Master, if you have time next time, why don’t you go to the village for a while?’
‘Town? ‘Why are you there all of a sudden?’
‘I’m going to take a look and there’s an outfit I want to show Master.’
‘What outfit do you want to show off?’
‘Our people have clothes that they wear on the first night after getting married.’
‘Ah…’
‘Are you going?’
‘Okay… well, when the time comes.’
“ah.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, recalling all those memories, looked at Choi A-rin.
Choi A-rin smiling softly.
At the same time, Kim Joo-hyuk felt goosebumps running down his back.
‘You’ve already predicted how I will move…!’
Kim Joo-hyuk did not tell anyone about his plans.
It was obvious that if I had told my wives in the first place, it would have been obvious that they would stick to it, so I never told them in the first place for fear that if I told anyone else, the plan would be leaked.
However, Choi A-rin saw through the plan that was so thoroughly hidden and is now here.
“Are you going?”
“Hmm…”
Kim Joo-hyuk is silent for a moment.
He thought calmly.
If I were to be taken from here to the village, how long would it take?
What if you go to the village and just bring the night clothes that Choi A-rin mentioned without being lukewarm?
‘As a rule of thumb, two hours… No, if you use Zhong Liquan’s ability, it’s about an hour.’
That was fine.
However, if Choi A-rin were to wear night clothes immediately there, a situation like that would be created.
‘Then the time it will take…’
Kim Joo-hyuk started to organize his head so quickly because he couldn’t continue with the plan.
“…okay. “Then all I have to do is find early night clothes anyway, right?”
“yes. “Just in case, let’s try it on a little bit.”
Kim Joo-hyuk felt a little scared when he heard the story about try-ons, but since he had nothing else to say, Kim Joo-hyuk nodded his head in response.
“Please open the door first.”
Soon, when Kim Joo-hyuk spoke to Zhong Li-quan, he shrugged his shoulders and immediately used Jinbeop to create a paper screen.
“Then call me right away in an hour.”
“I understand.”
“Definitely, definitely in an hour…!”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s request.
With that, Kim Joo-hyuk immediately crossed over the paper gate with Choi A-rin.
“…Hmm, in the end, I guess that was the reason my students had such crazy affection for me.”
Soon after Kim Joo-hyuk crossed the paper gate, the guide nodded and spoke to Zhong Li-quan’s muttered words.
“I know.”
“But actually, isn’t it a little strange that the disciples are so clingy, even if they saved us from such a critical situation?”
“…That’s also true.”
“No matter how you look at it, it’s amazing.”
The guide, who had been silent for a while while listening to Zhong Liquan’s story, spoke.
“Well, I guess that’s how attractive Kim Joo-hyuk is.”
“…In the end, there is only so much to explain the story…”
Afterwards, Zhong Li-kwon, who was talking about various things about Kim Joo-hyuk, was about to pass an hour before he realized what he had said. I remembered the words.
“I guess I should open this door.”
As soon as he remembers those words, Jong Li-kwon immediately starts opening the door to call Kim Joo-hyuk.
At the same time, Zhong Liquan looked at the door that had been created according to his will and waited for a while, but there was no sign of it opening at all.
“?”
Immediately, I tilted my head for a moment and slowly opened the paper door.
widely-!
As soon as he opened the paper door, Zhong Liquan saw something and closed the door without realizing it.
“Oh wow….”
I muttered like that.
