Episode 334: Is Extreme Soma that good?
The next morning, an unexpected person came to my place.
Jangho came to visit.
“Master Xiao.”
“What are you doing this morning?”
“I heard you came back, so I came to say hello. “Did you have a good time?”
“I was hit hard by the sandstorm.”
“I’ve never been to anything other than Sae, so I’d like to go there at least once.”
“When the sand gets chewy in the rice, you will say, ‘Oh, now I know why our Sogyoju said it was so gross.’”
Jangho laughed. Since he rarely smiles in front of his subordinates, this wonderful smile is always mine.
“Oh, and please take this.”
Jangho held out what he was carrying. When I unwrapped the paper, a picture appeared inside.
It was the back of a man standing on a cliff with a sword at his waist. As soon as I saw the picture, I knew who it was. It was me.
“Who is this frighteningly handsome man?”
“This is Lord Xiaojiao. My skills are still a mess, but I still wanted to draw Lord Xiao for my first drawing. “He didn’t dare to draw the face, so he drew the back.”
Later, when he said he wanted to paint when he retired, I bought him the tools used by painters. He didn’t know that his first work would be me.
“I didn’t know your skills were this good.”
It wasn’t something that was meant to be pleasant to hear. It was truly a wonderful painting, as if it had been painted by an artist.
“This is my first time receiving a painting as a gift.”
“It’s my first time too. “Giving a painting as a gift.”
“I have to go and brag to my father. “Even though the demon lord received a reward from my father, he gave me a painting as a gift.”
I knew it was a joke, but Jang-ho was embarrassed because he was sweating just thinking about it.
“Please just look at that.”
The joke continued because it was fun to see him get flustered.
“If I take it to the central office and sell it, how much will I get? It’s a painting drawn by the Demon Lord of the Heavenly Demon Church, so it’s worth asking for it, right? Are you not going to buy it? Are you really not buying it? “You’re going to buy it for that money?”
Jangho looked embarrassed and waved his hand asking them to stop.
“Thank you. “I will treasure it for the rest of my life.”
“Later, when my skills improve, I will draw you a better picture.”
“Then draw it from the front. “Isn’t this handsome face a waste?”
I didn’t miss Jangho’s momentary startled reaction.
“what? “You don’t think I’m good-looking?”
Now Jangho’s counterattack has begun.
“You have a face that young people these days would prefer.”
“But he doesn’t have a handsome face?”
He didn’t answer, but he seemed to agree.
“Then who looks good in your eyes? “Let’s pick someone we know.”
Is he a poison king? No, it’s probably not because the Poison King looks younger than me. Extremely evil Soma is handsome, but there’s no way you could have seen what’s inside the mask. As I was thinking, “Oh, then it must be a hobby,” an unexpected name came up.
“Isn’t Madam Kwon handsome?”
“what? it’s crazy?”
I couldn’t help but wonder if I was really crazy.
“Manly and cool. “You’re handsome, aren’t you?”
“Do you really think so?”
“yes.”
When I realized he was serious, I shook my head and sighed.
“I’m really disappointed in your discernment. “Please tell me it was a joke before you go!”
Jangho laughed as if he had expected this reaction. But in the end, she did not make up her mind.
“See you then.”
Jang Ho bowed politely and left the residence.
After he left, Jeok Yeon and other escorts came and looked at the painting.
“That’s great, Grimm.”
“yes? I can’t believe you tried to ruin this talent. You too, have a hobby. “For your life, one stroke of a brush may be better than a hundred cuts of a knife.”
The escorts’ answers were loud because they now knew that my words were sincere.
“I understand, Master Xiao!”
I said as I left my residence.
“I’ll ask you later. So please think about it. Oh, and hang the picture in a visible place in the room. I’m going to a bad song. “You don’t have to follow me.”
* * *
When I entered the evil song, it was different from usual.
There was a festive atmosphere there.
Every building was decorated extravagantly, and the masks of the masked visitors were all painted in colorful colors. Bonfires were being lit everywhere, meat was being grilled, and bottles of alcohol were being carried around. These weren’t the usual scary masks. Everyone was excited today.
I asked the anonymous guest who recognized me and greeted me.
“What’s going on?”
“Today is Majon’s birthday.”
“It’s Extreme Demon Soma’s birthday?”
“That’s right.”
“Don’t spread the news that I came and went.”
First of all, I returned to the evil song.
I didn’t know it was Extreme Soma’s birthday. If you didn’t know, you didn’t know, but you can’t just leave empty-handed.
What should I give you as a gift?
In the past, on Hyeolcheon Doma’s birthday, I gave him top-quality blood liquor as a gift. The relationship back then was different from the relationship now, so that alone was a great gift at the time.
After thinking for a moment, I ran straight to Cheonmajeon.
“I came again because I wanted to see my father.”
My father looked at me with suspicious eyes. It seems suspicious that he came to visit me again today after saying hello yesterday.
“Do you want to play a game of baduk?”
“busy.”
“Then would you like to try some bimura?”
“What is your business?”
I spoke carefully to my father.
“Please let me take one more treasure from the Heavenly Demon Treasury.”
My father didn’t even ask what was going on.
“No!”
Yes, they opened it especially to commemorate becoming the head of the small church. If you suddenly come and ask for it, they won’t give it to you.
“What would you like me to do for you?”
“What can you do?”
“I can massage your shoulders. “I will massage you for the rest of my life.”
“I just hate it when other people touch my body.”
“Am I a stranger?”
Of course, it was a hopeless attempt.
“I will come to play baduk every day.”
“If you put it in the sewage, it will give you water.”
“I will practice martial arts hard every day.”
“Anyway.”
“Do you have a hidden daughter? This is your daughter, whom you kept secretly by hiding her identity out of fear of danger. She is growing up as an ordinary person somewhere. But her daughter is in danger. Her son, go secretly and save him. The only person I can trust is you. Instead, I will give you a treasure.”
The corner of my father’s mouth curled up with a sneer.
“If we’re worried about it being dangerous, shouldn’t we leave it at the main school?”
“Maybe he hid it because he was worried about his older brother, who was crazy about his ambition.”
“Looking at your current condition, I’m more worried about you.”
“What can I give to someone who has everything in the world? Just give it to me!”
My father stood up from Taesa’s temple in response to the shameless request. I thought people would say, “Do you need to be beaten to come to your senses?”
“Let’s walk.”
I walked around the garden with my father. All the demons passing by bowed their heads in polite respect.
Surprisingly, the place where the walking path headed was Cheonma Bogo.
“Choose one and come out.”
As he gave me this obediently, I actually became anxious.
“Why are you giving it to me so obediently?”
“Don’t let vain desires accumulate.”
“What do you mean?”
“When I become the Heavenly Demon, I will use it to my heart’s content. “This kind of desire.”
I could understand my father’s heart.
“Are you thinking that far?”
“Because it’s that important. Both you and Cheonma Bogo.”
My heart swelled when I heard the words “you too.”
What was even more surprising was that my father already knew.
“Is Extreme Soma that good?”
“You knew.”
He knew that today was Extreme Soma’s birthday, and he guessed that my visit was to give him a gift.
I thought I might have asked him what he liked so much.
“Bring it out.”
After a while, I came out of there with a treasure.
“There is no accumulation of vain desires. Instead, he is filled with respect and affection for his father… … .”
My father didn’t listen to everything I said and just walked away.
I stood for a moment and looked at my father’s back. Usually, my father’s back is strong and strong, but I feel lonely and lonely. He makes me feel all kinds of emotions, and today I felt a deep affection for me.
When I first returned, I was definitely confident that I had lived longer than my father. I lived longer than my father! I had this feeling.
And now I feel it.
Regardless of whether I lived longer or what kind of life I lived, my strength as a father is different.
I want to be like my father.
I am the type of father who flatters, jokes, and says all sorts of things to others, but I am the kind of father who silently shows his actions to his son. I have never been greedy for children my entire life, but today, at this moment, I am greedy.
My father stopped in front of me and looked back at me. When I saw my father’s eyes asking me if I was going to come, I walked towards him with great strides.
“I will visit you every day, massage your shoulders, play baduk with you, and give you pocket money often. and… … let’s go together! I wondered who the Mazons would resemble and leave like that. father!”
* * *
When he arrived at Extreme Evil Soma’s residence, he was sitting alone in a pure white room. It was like that even though it was his birthday.
“Soma-sama!”
“Master Sujiao!”
The two eyes inside the Extreme Evil Soma’s eye sockets were smiling broadly as they turned towards me. Is it because they communicate with just their eyes? Just by looking at it, there is a feeling of sadness in Soma’s eyes.
“I saw you standing on the statue yesterday.”
“I thought you might be tired from the long journey, so I wanted to say hello from afar. “What did you do?”
“I handled it well and came back. “With the leader of Pungcheon Church and Mabul there, even if something special happened, it couldn’t happen.”
Maybe it’s a pity that Extreme Soma couldn’t fight together.
“By the way, happy birthday!”
“thank you.”
“If it had been two days late, it would have arrived late.”
“Well, it’s a big day.”
“It’s an important day. “It’s the day Soma was born.”
Then, Extreme Soma said something unexpected.
“Actually, I hate celebrating birthdays.”
“I guess that’s why it’s a festival outside?”
Extreme Soma walked to the window and looked outside. I also stood side by side with him. The area around Extreme Soma’s residence was decorated more extravagantly. In front of it, a bunch of people gathered together and chatting as if it was their birthday.
“It wasn’t like that originally, but I used the excuse of my birthday to tell him to have fun today. “I told them to share any gifts they received from outside.”
Extreme Soma was also showing a different appearance than before.
I said, taking out what I had brought from my arms.
“But this gift is not acceptable.”
Extreme Soma recognized the gift I gave him at a glance.
“This!”
His eyes trembled.
“It was stuck in the warehouse, so I brought it in case you needed it.”
What I brought from Cheonma Bogo was a guard to wear around my wrist. It felt precious just by looking at it. It had a picture of a roaring black dragon embroidered on one side and a picture of a tiger flying on the other side.
Mukryongbihogap (墨龍飛虎鉀).
Known to be impervious to sword damage and not to be cut by sword energy, this was one of the best wrist protectors. In particular, for those who did not use swords and swords, like Extreme Soma, it was an essential treasure for defense in urgent situations.
Extreme Soma’s eyes deepened as he looked down at it for a moment.
“No one in the world would say that Cheonma Bogo is a warehouse.”
Extreme Soma looked at me.
“Do you know how valuable this is?”
“I know that precious things are just collecting dust in the treasury.”
Extreme Soma looked at me intently and said.
“They say a long-lasting relationship has to be as light as a feather? You said you don’t want to build an impregnable castle with me? Are you saying that our relationship is as light as a feather and that I want to live comfortably until I die? So what will you do for your next birthday? “What else do I have to do for you?”
I looked at Extreme Soma in silence for a moment.
“Can’t you think of it this way? “It seems like that small sect leader committed a sin against me in my past life and is trying to pay me back in this life.”
“I already paid you back by saving my life.”
“I guess I committed a crime twice.”
“Sujiaoju!”
“Soma-sama!”
Anyway, if I’m in danger, he’s the first person to run. He is a man willing to risk his life.
So there is no need to worry about whether this gift will be a burden to him. Whether you give it to him or not, he will act the same way.
“Please accept it, Soma.”
Our gazes intertwined in the air. In the end, he couldn’t refuse my earnest wish.
“great.”
“Oh, thank goodness. “If I had refused until the end, my father would have teased me about this for the rest of my life.”
Extreme Evil Soma rolled up his sleeves and put on the Ink Dragon Sleeve Armor on both hands. It suited the white masked Extreme Evil Soma very well.
“This is the most precious birthday present of my life.”
“If anyone breaks the record, please let me know. “I can’t stand this anymore.”
His eyes, deep inside the mask, expressed gratitude.
“What will you do if other mazons find out?”
“You’re probably looking forward to getting something for your birthday.”
“So you can’t give it to me?”
“I guess he likes Soma the most.”
Extreme Soma laughed out loud.
It was a pleasant smile from Soma that I hadn’t heard in a long time.
* * *
After leaving Akingok, I went straight to Magachon.
I plan to go to a pungryu bar to see Jo Chun-bae and have a meal.
When I returned to Magachon after a long time, it was no different from when I left.
There were many people walking around in the noisy street.
Peddlers touting customers, an old man pulling a cart and yelling at them to get out of the way, women looking at things, men grabbing each other by the collar, couples walking holding hands while smiling, children running around and even a woman yelling at them not to run.
This scene you see after fighting for your life certainly looks different.
Only by realizing that the seemingly natural daily life may not be natural can we find happiness in this daily life.
When I arrived at Pungryu Bar, I was so surprised that I stood there dazed for a moment.
The door to the pub was closed. It was my first time. This place has never been closed. Where does it hurt? Or did something happen?
Then someone came and said.
“Master Xiao, I am a fruit seller down there.”
He was a person I often saw on my way to and from Maga Village. He was also close to Cho Chun-bae.
“The owner of Pungryu Bar left with his wife a few days ago, saying something happened at his wife’s family.”
I knew that Cho Chun-bae had a special relationship with his wife.
“Do you know what’s going on?”
“I didn’t hear the details, but at first glance, it seemed like someone in that family was involved with the Murim people.”
My heart sank coldly when I heard that I was entangled with the martial arts people. For most, it was not easy to see good results. Moreover, the fact that they even closed the bar and left in a hurry means that the situation was that urgent.
This happened when I was away from school. Since Ian is also far away, Seo Dae-ryong and Jang-ho would not have been meeting at a bar these days.
“Do you know where your wife’s family is?”
After hearing the location of my wife’s family, I immediately ran away.
We left Magachon in an instant at a fast pace. The best thing would be for me to arrive first, and the next best thing would be for me to arrive on time.
I hope it’s not a big deal, but if you’re caught up in something dangerous, it’s the owner’s experience that you can rely on. Because he had all kinds of experiences while running a tavern here.
‘Master, just until I leave!’
The rapid pace that had reached its limit began to exceed its limit again.
