Episode 50 When the rain stops, birds will fly.
I glanced at the people where Hyeolcheondoma was located. The meaning behind those disapproving eyes was as follows.
‘Are you telling me to sit among these rags?’
Before the words came out of my mouth, I greeted him warmly.
“Welcome, old man. Now, please sit down here.”
When everyone stood up and greeted them politely, he pretended not to be able to win and sat down.
“Why did you call me?”
As Geomzon misunderstood in the past, it seems he thought I would be alone.
In fact, the second problem for Hyeolcheon Doma was who was at the drinking party, and he was just an unfamiliar and burdensome person at this drinking party. He is not used to this kind of private atmosphere, like when I gave him a birthday present.
“Why would you call me to a bar? “I invited him to have a drink with me.”
I poured him a drink. Although he looked nervous, Hyeolcheondoma accepted the drink.
“You become younger when you hang out with young people.”
“What should I do when I’m young?”
“It’s good to look younger even by a day. What would you do if you were a master and what would you do if you had power? “We all have to kneel before time.”
“What kind of time has passed when you’re so young?”
Everyone was listening to our conversation with surprised faces. You wouldn’t have thought that Hyeolcheondoma and I would have such an easy conversation.
“It means to live and enjoy this moment. What will everyone regret when they die? Couldn’t I learn more martial arts? Couldn’t I build more skills? Couldn’t they defeat the sword demon who lives somewhere over there? “I don’t think it’s all right.”
“That’s why we’re causing this mess before everyone dies. “I don’t want to die with such idiotic regrets.”
“It will be different for the elderly.”
“What did I say?”
“You are young and awake for your age, right?”
Since ancient times, isn’t the best compliment given in front of people?
“joy!”
Hyeolcheondoma snorted and drank, but he didn’t look that disgusted.
Seo Dae-ryong had a really complicated face after he came in. His drunken eyes seemed to say this.
―I don’t want to do it! No, right? It’s a joke, right?
I feel sorry for him who was shocked and scared, but he was right. I intend to make Hyeolcheon Doma the master of Seo Dae-ryong.
Jang Ho offered a drink to Hyeolcheon Doma.
“Thank you so much for recommending me earlier. “I finally say hello to you now.”
“It wasn’t my intention, it was because of the master here, so please send your greetings over there.”
“I have received enough, so you too should receive a greeting. In fact, it would have been impossible if it weren’t for the elderly.”
Hyeolcheondoma looked at Jangho and said.
“I recommended it because I thought it was a position I could handle, so don’t worry about it.”
“thank you.”
Jangho’s expression brightened as he heard praise for the first time from Majon.
A person’s nature will not change easily, but attitudes can change depending on the situation. There is a really big difference between Hyeolcheon Doma when I first met him and Hyeolcheon Doma now. So much so that I can make this suggestion.
“I have something to ask you, sir.”
“What?”
I looked at Seo Dae-ryong. He could no longer withstand the alcohol and lowered his head with his eyes closed.
“Please teach this friend martial arts.”
Hyeolcheondoma was surprised because it was something he had never thought of.
“Who is this rat?”
Just as I was about to introduce him, Seo Dae-ryong raised his head and shouted in a tongue-twisting voice.
“He has a power-oriented and heartless personality, but he is a man who only loves one woman. He is a rebellious man who raises his hand alone when everyone else is silent, but he is also a pacifist and the right hand man of each Lord, Seo Dae-ryong! And it’s not that rat!”
After pouring out a bunch, he lowered his head again. We could tell. That Seo Dae-ryong was completely drunk.
“ha ha ha.”
I laughed out loud and Ian lowered his head and suppressed his laughter. Jangho smiled and drank.
He was a genius when it came to memory, seeing as he could remember exactly what I said even when he was drunk.
“What is that strange crazy guy?”
“I’m very drunk, so please understand.”
“What is martial arts! “Just look at your face and consider yourself lucky that I didn’t kill you.”
“He is exactly what we need.”
“hate.”
“Elder!”
The Hyeolcheondoma looked at me as if glaring.
“But why me?”
“Because you have the best skills. “I want to have him learn from the most talented person.”
“If you are not my disciple, how can you teach me martial arts?”
“Then make him your disciple.”
“what?”
“I don’t think there is anyone among the current disciples who can take over the elder’s position. The youngest student is kind, but with his personality, it will be difficult for him to become a successor. What do you think of this friend here?”
“hate!”
Hyeolcheon Doma flatly refused.
“Wouldn’t you have lived your whole life doing only what you wanted to do? Now, just do some things you don’t like.”
“Because I don’t like it.”
“Why don’t you like it? “Isn’t there a reason you don’t like it?”
“I just don’t like it. “I don’t like it, but what’s the reason?”
It was right then.
“I don’t like it either!”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the owner of the voice. It was Seo Dae-ryong, the main character of Drunk who risked his life.
“Would you like it to be me?”
Surprised, Ian tried to stop him, but he was already challenging Hyeolcheon Doma with gory eyes.
“Old man Chopping!”
Fortunately, it wasn’t called ‘Domaya’.
“I clearly said no. So don’t even dream of teaching me! not! It works! you! all!”
He said no, one by one, saying no. Everyone was nervous, fearing that every time they said a word, a blood vessel would come out.
Seo Dae-ryong, who was raising his voice, looked at me this time. The guy’s eyes were already completely opened. Well, if he was in his right mind, he wouldn’t have done that to Hyeolcheon Doma. Ah, this is a flashback.
“Our respected Lord! “Let me ask you something!”
“It looks like you are going to be murdered soon, so I will answer you sincerely.”
“Why are you trying to throw me away to that heartless, heartless person? “Ugh, I feel sad when you do this.”
The veins on Hyecheondoma’s forehead bulged. I smiled at Hyecheon Doma with an expression that asked him to understand.
“Why would you do that? “He’s a martial arts actor.”
“So why?”
“To raise your self-esteem.”
Although I didn’t say it here, it was to make him the next Nether Footnote. If you learn martial arts from Hyeolcheon Doma, you will have a stronger background than anyone else.
“Ah, I guess I have low self-esteem.”
He lowered his head again. Lee Yeon was next to him and held his body.
“You were very drunk. “I will take you first.”
When she tried to get up, Seo Dae-ryong rejected her hand.
“I’m not drunk, my heart.”
“Heart?”
“Yes, I have arms. Ian is the heart. Our heart is more precious than our arms. “You can cut off your arm, but you can’t hurt your heart.”
Ian will think that Seo Dae-ryong is drunk and talking nonsense.
The jealous guy is smart, so even during this time, he remembers everything.
I politely asked Hyeolcheon Doma again.
“After work, please teach me half-time. A few days is fine, a few years is fine. If you don’t like this guy, you can teach him for just one day. Please give me a chance.”
“You really believe that drunkard.”
“I trust my elders.”
There was a vague resemblance between Hyeolcheon Doma and Seo Dae-ryong. In that it is a bit out of the mainstream, yet has greater passion than anyone else in the mainstream.
Just when the words “dislike” were about to come out of Hyecheondoma’s mouth.
“I said no!”
Seo Dae-ryong struck first.
Hyeolcheondoma frowned. I saw it then. The emotions contained in Hyeolcheondoma’s eyes.
‘Can you tell me what it is like to really hate it? ‘Why don’t you give it a try?’
Without even knowing it, Seo Dae-ryong pouted his lips and shook his head in front of the Hyeolcheon chopping block with his eyes almost closed. If I had stuck out my tongue, I would have definitely cut it off.
Fortunately, Seo Dae-ryong hit his head on the table and fell asleep before the sword from the Blood Heaven Chopping Demon flew in. He was a fierce warrior. This will be the bravest shot so far and for the rest of my life.
And it was also the injection that changed his life.
Hyeolcheondoma asked me.
“What will you do if I teach that damn bastard martial arts?”
A prepared answer came out of my mouth.
“I will release your long-held feelings.”
“!”
Hyeolcheon Doma will know what that means.
There was a moment of silence and we drank again. There was no longer any conversation asking me to teach martial arts. We just talked about various things and drank quietly.
When two more bottles of alcohol were empty, Ian stretched out and Jangho stayed until the end and became my drinking partner with Hyeolcheondoma.
While drinking, I went out of the bar for a while.
As I was standing there getting some fresh air, Hyeolcheon Doma came and stood next to me.
“That wasn’t a joke earlier, was it?”
“yes. “You can’t let an elderly person learn martial arts for free.”
Hyeolcheondoma was silent for a while.
Does he really want reconciliation with Ilhwa Geomzon?
Hyeolcheondoma, who was looking across the street, suddenly asked.
“Is that branch over there effective?”
“It’s going well.”
“No, is it effective? “Is it helpful in raising your reputation?”
They probably think I set it up to increase popularity.
“yes. “It’s helping me a lot.”
I didn’t bother to convince him that it was built for the residents of Magachon. He won’t understand that helping them is as important as killing the Soul Mazon.
“Please take good care of Inspector Seo.”
“I really do all sorts of things. “What are you going to do, leaving the baby in your care?”
“I’m busy.”
“What are you so busy about?”
“Every day I have to figure out how to kill things that don’t look like humans. I have to run here and there to save my right wing. I have to flatter my father.”
He noticed that the right wing was Ilhwa Geomzon.
“Then…do you have a left wing?”
“yes. If you want to do it on the right, I will change it for you.”
Hyeolcheon Doma shook his head with a puzzled expression.
“You are truly crazy. “You’re thinking of uniting Geomzon and me with one wing.”
“He said that to me at first. If it’s my madness, I think I can risk my fate. Let’s devour them all with madness. “Have you already forgotten?”
“I didn’t know you were this crazy.”
“Let’s go crazy together. Are you hesitating about how long you have left to live?”
“Is that something you would say to an adult?”
“Because he’s crazy.”
Hyeolcheondoma smiled slightly.
“I will be leaving school soon and will be away for a couple of months. In the meantime, please take care of our children.”
“I get it.”
I knew, without asking anything, this simple word sounded so reassuring.
Even through today’s drinking party, I feel that his door has opened a little more. But I’m still not sure what’s inside that door.
The other wing is needed to open the door wide. When two wings face each other and flutter and compete, you will finally understand why those wings move like that.
“The rain will stop soon. Even birds will fly.”
I was on my way back with Ian after drinking.
“I made another mistake today.”
“What is a mistake? “If you drink like that, it’s natural to fall asleep.”
“Falling asleep is also an injection.”
“Anyway, you’re not going to drink like that unless I’m around, right?”
“That’s true, though.”
“Then it’s not an injection. “It’s a break.”
Ian smiled at my words.
“How many questions can I ask?”
“It depends on what the question is.”
“For example… why are you so nice to me?”
I am willing to be asked this question for the rest of my life.
“Five times?”
“From now on?”
“Yes, from now on.”
“Why are you so nice to me?”
“I plan to pamper myself for the rest of my life. “Why are you so curious about the same answer you hear?”
Ian laughed bitterly.
“I’m going to ask again.”
“There are four left.”
So we walked together in the soft moonlight. Ian asked as if a thought suddenly occurred to him.
“But what about Inspector Seo? I saw you a lot earlier. “Did you go first?”
“That guy’s master took him away before you woke up.”
“Master?”
Ian opened his eyes wide in surprise.
“No way! We went together?”
