A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 65



Only Noblemtl

Episode 065. I’ll pay you back later.

* * *

I saw Bok-sil walking towards me from the other side.

Bok-sil also noticed me and slowly slowed down her walking speed.

We stopped at some distance.

“hmm.”

I glanced at Bok-sil’s mirror.

The handsome beard was still there.

However, the leather armor was scratched and torn, and the previously intact cloak had holes here and there.

I don’t know what happened, but he looked quite rougher than when I saw him last time.

It’s like seeing a dog you raised disappear one day and then come back as a wild beast.

It was Bok-sil who regained her wildness.

“… … .”

“… … .”

We stared at each other in silence for a while.

I nodded and greeted him first.

“Bok-sil is a gentleman.”

Bok-sil also nodded and answered.

“devil.”

“It’s been a while.”

“It hasn’t been that long.”

Bok-sil answered rudely.

“It was just a greeting. Why are you being so grumpy?”

“I met an enemy who beat me up like a dog and even stole my sword. Wouldn’t it be more strange for him not to be rough around the edges?”

“Hmm. Now that I think about it, that’s true.”

I nodded in agreement.

Bok-sil glared at me as if she was going to kill me.

“And you left me with that piece of crap sword you were using. Are you mocking me, devil?”

I waved my hands in embarrassment.

“Oh. That wasn’t my intention.”

“Shut up.”

I wasn’t the type of person to shut up just because someone told me to, but I felt sorry for some reason so I kept my mouth shut for a moment.

Bok-sil glared at me for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“I was beaten like a dog by you and learned something.”

“Oh, really? You got the idea. Congratulations.”

I clapped my hands.

The applause rang out hollowly.

I felt a bit embarrassed about playing alone, so I poked Shushuruta’s shoulder next to me with my elbow.

Shushuruta glanced at me and then clapped along.

We gave Bok-sil a big round of applause.

“congratulations.”

“Congratulations. Bok-sil Kyung.”

Bok-sil received the applause with a somewhat complicated expression.

I thought that was enough congratulations, so I stopped applauding and asked.

“What did you realize?”

“Find out for yourself.”

Bok-sil said with the corners of her lips raised like a lowly piece of trash from a back alley.

“This isn’t the me I knew before.”

I rubbed my palms and laughed along.

“I’m really looking forward to this.”

Bok-sil looked at Shu-shu-ru-ta, who was watching from the side with an excited expression.

“Lady. Please step aside.”

Shushuruta looked at me as if asking for permission.

As I nodded to one side, Shushuruta quietly retreated to the side of the road.

After confirming that Shushuruta had retreated, Boksil drew her sword.

Sling-

A pure white sword appeared in the world like a ray of sunlight.

“oh.”

If nothing else, this guy had an outstanding eye for swords.

Where do you get such a nice sword?

It was a sword as white as snow, and for some reason it looked better than the one I was using.

Maybe it looks better because Bok-sil is holding it.

Because the grass always looks greener on the other side.

Bok-sil, who had drawn a good sword, asked.

“Are you ready?”

I grabbed the hilt of my sword and was about to pull it out… …but my hand stopped.

Come to think of it, there was a time when my sword also shined like that.

But now it’s become a rag.

There was a person who had presented the sword in front of me.

A feeling of guilt came over me.

“……no.”

“It doesn’t matter if you’re not ready. I’ll attack.”

A knight attacks an unarmed opponent.

I said with a slightly impressed look on my face.

“Bok-sil, you’ve grown up so much.”

Bok-sil nodded.

“Thank you. Draw your sword.”

I hesitated.

“… … Can’t we pull it out later? Or, it wouldn’t be bad to fight like this.”

Bok-sil pointed her sword and spoke in a fierce tone.

“You’d better not mock me any longer, devil.”

“I don’t mean to make fun of you… … .”

“I am still polite even though I was beaten by you. You should show your sincerity as well.”

“… … .”

I had nothing to say.

“Then… … take it out.”

“Take it out quickly.”

I drew my sword somewhat hesitantly.

Now, there wasn’t even a swoosh sound.

Is this how a student feels when he submits a mess of homework to his teacher?

Bok-sil’s expression became shocked when she saw the sword taken out of its scabbard.

The tip of the sword that was aimed at me went down weakly.

“no…….”

Bok-sil looked at the sword in my hand with an expression of having lost her country.

After moving his lips for a while, he finally stammered out his words.

“No way… … that… … .”

I couldn’t bear to look at Bok-sil’s face, so I avoided eye contact.

Bok-sil asked in a voice that sounded like she was about to cry.

“… … No? Huh? Our Winterer… … .”

It seems that the sword’s name was Winterer.

It even had a name.

I feel even more sorry.

“… … No? Say no.”

“… … .”

I hid my miserable expression.

Bok-sil said in a trembling voice.

“Look into my eyes, devil. Look me in the eye and tell me straight.”

“… … .”

“I have the right to do so. Tell me. My first snow-white Winterer born in winter. The rag-like sword in your hand. Isn’t that it?”

I hesitated… … and showed a pitiful expression.

“I wrote it a bit roughly, so stop… … .”

Bok-sil clenched her jaw.

After a while, he asked in a squeezing voice.

“What… How did you get like that in just a few days?”

“Oh, that’s right… … .”

I kept making excuses.

“I got cut, my bones split, I got rained on, some black guy stole me, I fell into a valley, I fell into the mud, I got scratched by auras… … .”

“stop.”

Bok-sil closed her eyes with a miserable expression, as if she couldn’t listen any longer.

“… … It was okay if Winterer wasn’t with me. I thought that as long as I was doing well, I would be okay. I believed that… … .”

His hands were trembling.

A heavy silence hung between me and Bok-sil.

After a while, Bok-sil spoke with a slightly sleepy voice.

His eyes sparkled with anger.

“I’ll kill you. You devil.”

“Sorry.”

“Shut up!”

“… … .”

We moved sideways like crabs, our swords pointed at each other.

They slowly drew a circle and glared at each other.

To be exact, I only looked at Bok-sil.

I tried to avoid eye contact, looking at his shoulders and feet.

As I did so, I naturally got to see his posture while holding his sword and the way he walked, and I felt that it was quite different from before.

The moment I was about to point that out, Bok-sil spoke first.

The tone was still brimming with anger.

“Devil. You seem like a different person in a few days. You feel different.”

“Oh, really?”

“exactly.”

I nodded.

“A lot has happened. You too, Bok-sil. The atmosphere has changed quite a bit.”

“Didn’t you say that you had an epiphany?”

“I guess you’ve learned a lot.”

“That’s what it is.”

“Still not interested in daggers?”

“No. Instead, I’ve become more interested in your neck.”

“That’s sad news.”

We circled around for the second time, glaring at each other… … .

“Winterer’s Revenge!”

Suddenly, Bok-sil ran towards me.

Bok-sil’s sword flew through the air.

I was surprised by the sword strike that was stronger than I expected, so I threw my head back and dodged it.

Phew!

Bok-sil rode the momentum and pressured me with one-sided attacks.

Bok-sil’s swordsmanship, which seemed to be a mixture of a knight and a mercenary, was still intact.

It’s just a little rougher and less hesitant.

But the sharpness and strength contained in each and every movement was incomparable to before.

It gained power and speed.

I didn’t want to damage the sword that was supposed to be mine, so I tried hard to avoid the sword…

Kang!

In the end, he raised his sword and deflected it.

It was a sword that was difficult to deal with just by avoiding it.

Bok-sil smiled faintly.

“You finally pulled out your sword.”

“That’s right. So it looks like you can use mana now?”

“Yes. After I got hit by you, I started feeling mana.”

As expected, opportunities are given to those who desperately need them.

The movements themselves were different from those of other mana users.

Even though it was a short period of time, he was able to adapt to swordsmanship by skillfully flowing mana into his limbs.

His tattered clothes and cloak caught my eye again.

There must have been a tremendous amount of effort involved in the process.

But the process probably didn’t feel painful.

You must have been so absorbed in your training that you cried and laughed and didn’t even realize how much time had passed.

Because I did.

Finally, Bok-sil’s swordsmanship was shining. It was shining brightly like a star.

The moment when a talentless person finally meets chance and blossoms.

It’s beautiful. I was so proud and touched.

Water given to a thirsty person tastes several times sweeter.

But I’m a blunt person by nature, so I never really said such awkward things.

The same goes for Bok-sil.

We just exchanged ferocious smiles and swung our swords.

Chaeng! Chaeng! Chaeng!

Then, at one point, Bok-sil swung her sword so low that it almost cut my ankle, then she jumped up and threw dirt at me.

“What!”

I was surprised once again.

I did give him a lesson last time when I beat him up for being too honest.

Now, they even use such dirty and deadly techniques without hesitation.

It was a sponge-like learning ability.

‘This kid. How far do you plan on growing?’

It’s amazing how much it’s grown in just a few days.

It was a scary growth spurt, but… … it’s not for me yet.

If we’re going to judge it by its meanness, it’s still far from perfect.

I lowered my posture as if I was glued to the ground, dodging the scattered dirt and the sword strikes that followed, then jumped up and struck Bok-sil in the groin.

“100 million!?”

Perhaps not expecting this, Bok-sil grabbed her groin and hesitated to step back.

Bok-sil looked at me with a puzzled face.

“This, this is so vile… … .”

“Hahaha. I hit it gently. There won’t be any problems producing a second child.”

I swung my sword back and forth at our special Bok-sil.

“Huh!”

Bok-sil, in an awkward posture, blocks the sword here and there… … .

puck!

In the end, I ended up allowing the attack.

It is difficult to block a waterway once it has been opened.

I slammed my fist into the slightly open stance like a stream of water. Naturally, it was a punch filled with internal energy.

“The left hand is just for giving.”

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Bok-sil, who had been getting beaten up without thinking, stumbled for a moment and then swung her sword sharply.

While I was stepping back to avoid the sword, Bok-sil turned around without hesitation.

And then he ran away.

“What… … !”

I opened my eyes wide.

“Even the Thirty-Six Strategies… …! What are the limits of this man… …!”

“… … .”

I felt Shushuruta’s gaze looking at me with a somewhat strange look, but that wasn’t important right now.

When Bok-sil saw the back of Gyeong-i, who was running away diligently, putting aside all the petty things like pride, a smile naturally appeared on her lips.

“Pass!”

I raised my hand and shot the spell.

Pee-pee!

The ray of light that flew past hit him squarely in the eye.

Bok-sil, who was running, fell over with a crash.

“Hehehe.”

I immediately ran to Bok-sil, who had fallen while being swept by the wind, and trampled on her as she hurriedly tried to get up.

It goes without saying that I have my inner strength fully in my toes.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Aww, that’s good.”

“Cough!”

Bok-sil collapsed like a rice cake.

Even though he was hit hard, he still did not put down his sword.

I said with a snicker.

“Bok-sil, Kyung. Take good care of the sword.”

“no!”

Bok-sil jumped up as if having a seizure.

“Okay.”

puck!

Bok-sil, who had been hit in the jaw by my fist, fell down like a doll whose strings had snapped.

“Lulu~”

I hummed and took the sword out of Bok-sil’s grasp, pulling her fingers out one by one.

The moment of receiving a gift is always exciting.

I put the sword I was using back into Bok-sil’s empty hands.

“I think it was called Winterer.”

Winterer also seemed happy to be returned to his original owner.

It was nice to see.

After changing the scabbard, he put it on his waist.

“Hmm. It’s just right.”

At this moment, Bok-sil grabbed my ankle.

Bok-sil was looking up at me with bloodshot eyes.

“Ouch, that’s a surprise. What is it?”

Bok-sil said in a trembling voice.

“Just one thing… … Promise me… … .”

It was an incredible obsession.

“What is it? Let me hear it.”

“Oil… … twice a day. Morning and evening… definitely… … .”

I bent my leg and looked down at Bok-sil to reassure her.

“That’s right, babble. I’ll take care of it, Bok-sil. Just trust me.”

Then, he pressed hard on the acupuncture point next to my ear.

“This… … son of a bitch… … .”

Bok-sil lowered her dark hair.

I was excited to get a new sword, but I felt a little bad about having it taken away from me twice.

I said, patting his head.

“Thank you, Bok-sil. I’ll use it well. I’ll pay you back later.”

Shushuruta came and asked.

“How do you plan to repay me?”

“Well, I don’t know either.”

“… … .”

When I gave him my inner strength during our first meeting, he appeared as a mana user.

Isn’t this the next time you’ll be a user of Aura?

… … Or else.

For the first time in a while, I heard Cheonma laughing heartily. When Cheonma laughed, I also felt good for no reason.

We put the fallen Bok-sil aside and ran hard towards the tomb of Ophius again.
