Episode 613 of the sub-team, which is “mo”, the training room was quiet again today.
Numerous kinds of weapons were scattered on the floor, and the wall with the automatic recovery magic had collapsed terribly.
And at the center… … There is me sitting cross-legged and immersed in thought.
‘more. Just a little more.’ Almost there.
One last piece of this big puzzle.
Right after I broke up with Jinho hyung, I rushed straight to the training room and started working on the final piece for that one piece.
Even if all your hair falls out due to stress, even if it comes to the worst situation, you have to overcome it.
I had to complete this puzzle before leaving by all means.
‘For the sake of the future.’ It’s only recently that I started looking for the final piece of the puzzle, but it was several months ago that I felt the need to put it together.
Yes, it was probably after the battle with the Arch Lich, which was named Small Cataclysm.
‘At this rate, everyone is in danger.’ A thought came to my mind one day.
And as time went on, the anxiety turned to certainty.
Magical power increased abnormally, and monsters became stronger accordingly, and casualties, which had been reduced beyond recognition after the Great Cataclysm, appeared one after another.
Today’s modern mankind needed another power, and I made up my mind after much thought.
To create martial arts.
In the face of increasing dangers and disasters every day, we decided to give them new swords and shields.
Of course, it was never easy. It had to be stable enough that even the lowest level hunter could learn it, and at the same time, it had to have enough power to not be abused by the wicked.
but… … Finally I have found the last piece of this huge puzzle.
Yes, this is it.’ One road completed after hundreds of attempts.
The moment you complete the yet unnamed simbeop.
belt ring. belt ring. belt ring.
As if celebrating my success, a powerful notification burst out.
* * * Choi Min-woo, who was inaugurated as Team Leader Choi, no longer the peace guild leader and Ares guild sub-guild leader, was really busy.
While he was away for a week, there were hundreds of agenda items to deal with, and the temporarily assigned personal secretary was sweating from calls from big names raining in from all directions.
“Hey, guild leader. I received an offer to schedule a luncheon at the Blue House.”
“I would like to ask the political world and the Federation of Korean Industries to attend the social gathering… … .”
“The Guild Alliance has proposed a linkage with gate-related businesses…
“About the establishment of an overseas branch… … There were offers that could not be refused, and there were offers that could be refused, but Choi Min-woo’s answer was always the same.
“All right. Please schedule.”
Choi Min-woo moved according to the minute-by-minute schedule. He spent his days like a working machine and did not sleep well.
People around him looked at him with concern at his busy appearance.
“Now, choose one. Chief Choi. Guild Master Choi. Vice-Guild Choi. Which of these three names would you like me to call you?”
“Call me the manager. Because we met then.”
“Okay. Then, Team Manager Choi. I’ll be honest… Take a break. Reduce your schedule and leave the minor tasks to the secretary.”
“That’s right, Chief Choi. No matter how young you are, if you keep going like this, you will be in trouble.”
“I am okay. Don’t worry either of you.”
“Chief Choi.”
“No, don’t do that…
“It’s okay, I am.”
Seeing Choi Min-woo repeating the same answer in a calm voice, Song Song-i and Lim Kkeok-jeong, who tried to dissuade him, had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
But why? The answer that flowed into their ears was the same as the first time, but the answer that came to their hearts was different from the first time.
It’s okay, I am.
Choi Min-woo, who left the same yet different words, continued to be buried in work.
Even the personal assistant, who had been helping a little by his side, left, and spent time in a hectic daily life.
It was not unusual for him to have a conversation about him in a private meeting with President Baek Han-seong one day.
“You seem very busy these days.”
“So good.”
“I heard that you don’t even have a secretary anymore… Do you have any special reason?”
“coffee.”
,,yes? ，，
“He couldn’t drink coffee. That’s all.”
President Baek Han-seong thought it was a joke and laughed it off, but Choi Min-woo’s answers to him were all sincere.
Choi Min-woo was happy that he was engrossed in work, and the coffee the young secretary was brewing was strangely tasteless.
and… … She was thankful that she could forget her longing and sadness for someone for a while, at least for a moment.
“We talked for a while. Let’s move on to the next item.”
If Jin Tae-gyeong practiced in an isolated space day after day, Choi Min-woo isolated himself even in the midst of meeting numerous people.
Perhaps that was the case. One day, a person suddenly remembered a name. O On that day, as usual, when you were brutally pushing yourself, the longing that was suppressed deep in your heart raised its head.
“Driver Jung, turn the car around.”
“yes? I’m sorry, but as far as I know, the next schedule location is???…
“Today’s schedule is all canceled. I have a place to go.”
Choi Min-woo buried himself deep in the limousine seat, leaving the chauffeur’s bewildered look behind him through the rearview mirror.
Receiving the warm spring breeze and sunlight filtering through the half-open windows, I headed to the place to meet someone.
that buck The hill he climbed alone was high and steep, and Choi Min-woo’s steps were heavy. No, maybe it was his heart that was heavy.
Choi Min-woo’s heart was filled with sadness and guilt for the one person he could not reach even if he climbed this steep and steep road a hundred or a thousand times.
On the way to tuk tuduk, I picked a bunch of spring flowers with early buds. It seemed that the pure white violets were not enough, so the bright red moss grass along the road was also mixed in.
He said that he had always liked the color red.
‘Even so, he always wore a black suit.’ I only found out a while ago. what was his favorite color Why did you sell so many bikes?
Why did he stop drinking alcohol, which he was so close to, and tidy up his shaggy beard and long hair and part them neatly?
‘Why did you do that? You were enough for me.’ She found out everything, but it was all too late.
Choi Min-woo walked like that, feeling his throbbing heart.
A large burial mound was waiting for him on top of a warm, windy hill, and the three letters engraved on the stele carved from granite were exceptionally clear.
The late Kim Hwa-jong What should I say? Choi Min-woo’s lips opened as he stared blankly at the old butler sleeping on a warm hill rather than a cold snowy mountain.
“I’m here.” His eyes, which were always calm, trembled. Choi Min-woo, biting his lips, continued to speak slowly.
“… … grandfather.”
The time when that one word that I had never handed over in my life came out with only my heart.
Shaaaaa.
A wind that blew from somewhere swept Choi Min-woo’s body. The grass on the hill bent and the branches waved.
And the next moment, Choi Min-woo, who put the bouquet of flowers in his hand next to the burial mound, stiffened.
‘That’s it.’
Eyes that widen with doubt. The place where his gaze stopped was the back of the tombstone.
There was another writing engraved on the place that had not been found until now.
You’re here.
thank you, i love you
Be happy.
U ≫ Who was the inscription? It was a question I should have heard, but it didn’t matter at the moment.
Choi Min-woo stared at that short sentence without hesitation, standing as firm as a stone statue.
Like a flower swaying in the wind, his heart was swaying. Something that burst out of somewhere deep in his chest twisted his neck and blocked his eyes, heating up his eyes.
“ah. ，，It was just that moment when everything became choked up and he vomited a thirsty expression.
“You came quickly. I thought I would have to wait at least a few more days.”
Someone’s voice came out of nowhere.
In Choi Min-woo’s field of vision, who turned around, a figure of a person standing with a small box was reflected. It was the Skeleton King.
why is he here What does it mean to wait? But that question disappeared as soon as it surfaced.
Because what Choi Min-woo needed now was warmth, not reason. Since it was an answer to a question that I could not find an answer for myself, “Can I ask you just one question?” If he was the usual Skeleton King, he would have said no bluntly.
But not this time. He kindly nodded his head.
“Anything.”
“If it were Jin Tae-kyung… what would you have done at a time like this?”
It was a sudden question, but the Skeleton King immediately realized the meaning of the words.
“Why do you ask that?” “Because he is stronger than anyone I know.” The Skeleton King, who had been staring at Choi Min-woo in silence, replied in a low voice.
“I would have cried. Undoubtedly.”
U ≫≫ “And I will overcome and continue living. Remembering the person who left me forever.” That alone was enough.
Choi Min-woo shed the tears he had been holding back. sorrow and regret. He let go of longing and guilt along with tears.
And the Skeleton King thought as he quietly stepped back.
As for the items in this box, it would be better to deliver them in a while.
At the same time, he remembered what Jin Tae-gyeong had said about half a day ago when he entrusted it to himself.
‘Sorry, let me do one favor.’ ‘hate. Can not be done. Go back.’ ‘Tell this to Chief Choi. No one else.’ ‘You look like a damn human being. Now I don’t even pretend to hear. Does this body look like a runner?’ ‘I’m not an errand boy, I can trust you because I trust you.’ ‘… … What on earth do I have to convey?’ martial arts
‘what?’
‘If you say so, you will know. There is a letter in the box, so make sure you read it.’ ‘no. How do you deal with people who can’t even be seen these days… … ‘Wait at Deacon Kim’s graveyard. Even if you meet before that, don’t keep your mouth shut. It’ll probably take some time to get over it.’ In the Skeleton King’s opinion, Jin Tae-gyeong was a strange person no matter how he thought about it.
As he said, it was like meeting him at the graveyard.
It was all the more so in the fact that once he falls asleep, he doesn’t even blink an eye when he wakes up by grabbing his collar and shaking him.
‘Damn it. Do you dare to let this body do just this little errand and sleep peacefully by itself?’ He even asked me not to wake him up, so he should be asleep by now.
The Skeleton King felt disgusted the more he thought of Jin Tae-gyeong, but to be honest, he didn’t feel too bad.
‘I trust you, so I leave it to you. Belief, um. Mmm.’ She recalled the box she was holding and a word from Jin Tae-kyung, and the Skeleton King nodded her head and murmured softly.
“… … Have a nice dream. Wicked human.”
Shaaaaa.
The wind blows once again. One person’s sobs and the voice of a monster that had become closer to the person were drowned out by the wind.
