what to do

Master was usually very generous and caring towards me, but in areas related to swordsmanship, he was a bit stubborn.

Does that mean the existence of the Impetro? You didn’t even tell your mother?

“Win!!! Ha ha ha ha!!! I won!!! Beating everyone!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!”

‘Hat killed?!’

“hey! Do one more round! I just can’t admit it!”

“that’s right! One more round!”

“Is everyone anxious for this Jamel’s generosity? Ha ha ha ha ha!!! What about this? This Jamel wants to remain the eternal winner!!! Hahahahaha!!!”

I glanced around and looked at the situation, and I saw Giselle Jamel’s mother and four Dacians arguing over cards from afar.

Wouldn’t it be okay if I told Master a little about Impetro? After all, I think Impetro told me not to tell my mother.

“What are you thinking?”

A whisper in your ear. Master, who was clearly in front of me, came close to me before I knew it and was staring at me intently.

“Oh, that…”

What do you really do? To be honest, I couldn’t come up with a good excuse. What should I do to make Master not angry? No matter how much I thought about it, Master was not someone who could be fooled with lame excuses.

I finally decided to take a break for a while.

“This is our seat, so would it be all right if we go to my room and talk?”

Master looked at me carefully with those blue eyes, then nodded slightly.

“I can do that for you. take the lead. I will follow you.”

“Yes…”

I took the bone sword I had received from the bugler and moved very carefully so as not to be noticed by my mother who was playing hard. Fortunately, the four of us were completely engrossed in playing cards and didn’t notice until Master and I entered the cabin.

creaking belly. I continued to ponder, moving as slowly as possible.

Impetro please tell me the number of spikes when you hear my voice. please.

Of course, miraculously, Impetro didn’t show up and tell me the answer.

When I opened the door to my room, Master naturally sat down on my bed and looked at me intently.

“Now, just the two of you, just as you wished.”

ah i don’t know Look at me and tell me how to fool that master. If I’m in a hurry, he’ll come out and stop me.

“Master. If you promise to listen and never get angry, I will tell you the truth.”

“I promise, so feel free to tell me.”

“That’s true… As Master felt, I learned a little about the sword from someone else.”

“Does that mean that you have a teacher other than me?”

Suddenly the back of my neck felt cold. Master’s eyes, which were shining blue, were sunken so heavy that they could not see their depth.

I instinctively felt it. If you say one word wrong here, you will really taste the bitterness. My left and right brains were hotter than ever.

And at this time, in all those days of teasing and comforting her mother, the accumulated wisdom shined through.

“There is absolutely no such thing as a new ‘teacher’. My teacher is the pretty and wise Fridy, because there is only one teacher. This I can truly swear to my God.”

Mother … Sorry. I will sell my mother’s name just this once.

It was only after I gave the name of my mother who was playing cards on the deck that Master Pridya spoke out with a more relaxed attitude.

“Yuna, but Master Lee never saw you learning the sword from anyone other than me. Could you just tell this master a little bit about where the person who taught you the sword is hiding? Master Lee wants to talk openly with that person for a while.”

A picture was drawn without even looking at it. The moment Impetro and Master run into each other, the two who do not back down will draw their swords at the same time and collide with each other. Of course, it was sure to be a very interesting match, but unfortunately, Impetro was an insubstantial existence.

“This is complicated to say, but I will tell you the truth, so you shouldn’t believe it.”

“I believe everything kite says about you. You’re the kind of person who can’t easily lie about important facts. I’d rather keep my mouth shut.”

I let out a small sigh and opened my mouth.

“It all started with Beatus. There I experienced death once and woke up in a strange space. And we met there. A person named Impetro.”

***

I told Master everything that had happened, and Master nodded and listened carefully to what I had to say.

Finally, after all the talking, Master’s mouth opened.

“So Yeon, what you mean is that there is a powerful being within you that even you cannot control.”

“If I had to say it, I don’t think Impetro is that bad. On the contrary, when I am with him, I feel a little… a little more comfortable.”

“Yuna.”

A soft hand tapped my shoulder. Unlike usual, Master called my name in a very serious voice.

“The emotions you feel are all very easily altered and manipulated by powerful beings beyond mortals. You have to think that the closeness you felt could have been embellished.”

“Are you saying that all the emotions I feel right now can’t be completely mine?”

“Yes, until you become a master, you always have to doubt everything whenever you face powerful beings beyond mortals. Even if it’s your feelings themselves. You know better than anyone what kind of blindness the gods have instilled in the priests.”

Master’s words were right and right again. A strange sense of familiarity that I felt every time I saw Impetro. Even that could have been all made up. In the first place, I didn’t even know who he was, what he did, and what he was trying to do.

“Since Yeon-i confessed honestly, it would be right for Master Lee to honestly confess how he feels right now.”

Master reached out and slowly touched the hilt of her sword.

“In my heart, I want to immediately cut down that leech-like existence that dares to cling to your heart, but it is very unfortunate that I do not have the ability to do so yet. Still, once you’ve become like this, you should try learning as the Impetro taught you. Instead, whenever you learn something, be sure to tell Master Lee what you have learned.”

I was surprised by the permission that fell more smoothly than expected.

“Is it really okay to learn?”

Master let out a small sigh.

“It makes me a little angry, but the sword you learned was made with great care only for you. yes i have to admit it The Impetro who taught you the sword has a different direction to achieve than I do, but he has achieved his own level.”

Master, who was stubborn when it came to the sword, was that stubborn, so he acknowledged Impetro more honestly than anyone else in front of the sword.

“Just promise me one thing.”

“Which one…?”

slightly bowed head. Master pressed his forehead to my forehead. Because the two shining blue eyes covered my field of vision, I could only see Master.

“No matter what anyone says, I am your only teacher. As long as you promise me that, this pretty and caring master can be generous anytime and again.”

“I promise.”

Two blue eyes that filled the field of vision gently bent. It draws a very beautiful curve.

“I don’t know if you know Yuna, but you are very precious to me. So, if you have any difficulties, feel free to visit us at any time and honestly tell Master Lee your difficulties. This master is always ready to walk out on his arms for you.”

“I know how you feel, Master… but I want to become strong enough to do everything with my own hands without relying on anyone.”

The foreheads that were touching fell. Master smiled kindly and nodded.

“You can become stronger than anyone else. Just trust this master.”

I was slightly thirsty for the reassurance I hadn’t felt in a long time. How long have you been able to rely on someone?

“Master…”

“Instead, in order to become that strong, there are things you must do first.”

“which…?”

Master Pridya’s long white fingers tapped her on the shoulder. That hand gesture was full of a little cruelty.

“It’s to relieve the feeling by rubbing the shoulders of Master, who is a little upset because of the student.”

“Master…?”

“Come on, gently massage the shoulders. I’m saying this now, but actually, I’m not angry at all.”

“Yes…”

***

After that, the journey went smoothly and there were no accidents or accidents while passing through various cities.

On the contrary, the closer you got to Fides, the capital of the Northern Empire, the better the security of the cities you passed through. If you look at it, it’s a natural story, but it’s a story.

In the meantime, I was steadily trained by Impetro and Master day and night. Thanks to that, I was able to learn the second skill from Impetro.

When I had an honest conversation with Master and faced Impetro, I was worried that I would be beaten properly, but contrary to my expectations, Impetro complained that a woman who was less than a fistful lived only by mouth, and he trained me without complaining.

Of course, the reason why I feel that Impetro is making me a little rougher after that is only because of my feelings.

Caang!!!

The blade that deflected the collision landed on the tip of Cardisho’s neck.

“I really feel like I don’t know every day.”

“We still lack a lot.”

Cardisho wiped the sweat with a metal bar that stopped right in front of my uvula. The sparring with Cardisho was able to achieve something different from Master or Impetro. The sparring with her was full of exhilaration, as if facing a rival.

“Thanks to you, I seem to be adjusting to this new body easily. thank you Besides, tomorrow I will probably arrive in the capital. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the capital so I’m looking forward to it.”

“By the way, Cardi Show. Can I ask just one question?”

“Something?”

“How long are you planning to go together?”

Cardisho’s body flinched at my sharp question. Thanks to the necklace given by Giselle, he had a way to harvest divinity without her knowledge, but he couldn’t be with her as a priest forever. The mere presence of her places great restrictions on our actions.

Cardisho looked up at the dark sky and looked at me with melancholy eyes.

“I can’t lead my body and return to the church after being remodeled like this. Or rather, the person who remodeled my body might be waiting for me to return to the church. Yes, that insidious and evil person must be trying to cause great damage to the church by forcing this body to run out of control the moment I return to the church.”

The person who remodeled the body must have just been rolling around in the ruins without much thought.

From my point of view, Cardisho seemed to be very obsessed with the setting of a priest whose body was forcibly remodeled. I’m not sure what’s so good.

“I’m sorry, but I want to ask you to continue to accompany me like this for a while. I need someone to stop me when my modified body goes out of control.”

“That’s a bit difficult…”

He sighed.

Something jumped out of the river and landed on the deck. A woman with purple hair, wearing a tight-fitting black outfit for swimming, took turns watching me and the cardigan show, then smiled broadly.

“hi! hi! Long time no see! long time no see! Sounds like you’re close! I met you and saw you!”

The intruder who suddenly appeared on the ship was Pearly, who had promised to meet them in the capital.

“Swimming a full day’s distance by boat?”

“why? Are you special? Is it special?”

“Isn’t that just stupid?”

“You talk too much! deep sea!”

Pearly burst out laughing, twitching and sniffling while wringing out her wet hair.

“Sniff! A little cold! Come on, get something warm! hurry! hurry! I am so glad I came! Hurry up and warm up and have a big party with us!”
