The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman - The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman chapter 67

Episode 67

Baegap Yonggidae (2)

As soon as morning came, Cecilia visited the Basque workshop.

“What are you doing at this hour?”

Recently, though, exchanges have suddenly become more frequent.

Cecilia and Kirson’s relationship has been severed for the past ten years, to the extent that they haven’t even said goodbye properly.

So, this sudden visit was unexpected.

“Can we talk for a minute, Mother?”

“story… … ?”

Kirsson unknowingly flinched for a moment.

‘Eh, what are these going to do again?’

In the meantime, having suffered so badly from Cecilia’s mother (?), this is a natural reaction.

Cecilia, realizing what Kirsson was thinking, snorted.

“It’s not like that, so don’t worry. But if you don’t want to because you’re busy, I’ll come back to you later when I have free time.”

“Oh, no. Everyone, leave your seats for a while.”

Kirsson kicked all the researchers out and put a smoking pipe in his mouth.

Whoa-

Only then did Kirson realize that the adopted daughter had come with a strong determination for something.

“yes. What’s going on?”

Cecilia said while clearing the cigarette smoke with her hand.

“Please lend me some money.”

“money… … ?”

His confident attitude, as if he had come to retrieve an item he had entrusted to him.

Kirsson was dumbfounded, but thought to listen a little more, so he asked.

“Where are you going to use it?”

“I was thinking of starting a business.”

“business? you?”

“Yes.”

“As Kyle’s concubine for over 10 years, she enjoyed only favors and favors. With what skill?”

Kirson still felt sorry for Cecilia.

But that’s why I was more strict.

In her eyes right away, it seemed that Cecilia had been vain for her son’s emergency.

It even made me wonder if there was some kind of scammer next to me.

“Don’t be sarcastic. Although it is true that I have been busy raising my son, I have always tried not to lose my senses.”

Cecilia replied confidently, opening the bag she had brought and taking out a wad of paper and handed it to Kirson.

“It’s a business plan.”

“… … !”

“Please take a look and consider whether or not to lend me money.”

“… … .”

Kirsson began to meticulously flip through the plans with deep sunken eyes.

Cecilia’s business item was very simple.

boutique shop.

A store that offers fashion items such as expensive clothes and jewelry.

“I think my mother knows my eyes well. That’s why I’m thinking of going around each place myself.”

That Cecilia’s eyes never rusted was evident just by looking at the clothes Theo was wearing.

But the back story was surprising to Kirsson.

“now… … folding?”

“Yes. There are many talented but unknown comrades throughout the empire. I am thinking of meeting them in person, talking to them, and applying for talented people who can support me. And we plan to place the collected dresses in the store according to the movement of customers… … .”

Cecilia continued her explanation in a calm tone.

As if you practiced dozens of hundreds of times, your explanation is seamless.

“Besides, the item I am planning is not just a fancy dress. Would you like to look at the last chapter?”

“… … .”

“I plan to do haute couture myself. I’ve already looked for designers and couturiers (advanced tailors) to join me.”

haute couture.

It refers to tailor-made clothes for the nobility and the upper classes.

As expected, it is impossible without an excellent fashion sense and discernment.

In particular, the skills of tailors and designers were the most important, and in fact, the list of 20 people written in the plan were so prestigious that even Kirson had heard of them at least once.

Some of them Kirson tried to bring himself, but failed.

‘What kind of skill… … ?’

“Isn’t this a lie?”

“Can’t you send someone to check it out yourself?”

“… … .”

“If you have any doubts, let me give you a hint. The people written there were originally my staff members.”

“what?”

“Even though I was retired, I didn’t let go of relationships.”

“… … !”

“We kept in touch from time to time, and when we needed advice or help, we would give it little by little… … Fortunately, they grew up well because they were talented. Thankfully, he also showed his intention to join me.”

It may be easy to say, but each of them had already firmly established their place.

The fact that she would abandon that foundation and come back was proof that Cecilia’s popularity was still intact.

“I don’t think this business is bad for my mother either. You may be able to make a name for yourself in connection with the jeweler you acquired this time. I think there will be a good compatibility with the name value that Majang has. More than anything… … Hasn’t your mother also been interested in high-end fashion for a long time?”

Kirsson bit into the smoking pipe.

You were still remembering the words you said in the distant past… … .

“… … I will use Theo as a model to make my name known.”

“that’s right. It’s not just saying that you’re my son, right?

Kirsson couldn’t resist.

‘Actually, the brooch Theo wore at the appointment ceremony was gone within a day.’

Although Theo’s hat hurt Kirsson’s head, the influence was certain.

If it’s a face, it’s a face, if it’s clothes, it’s a topic, if it’s a topic, it’s a topic.

Since you have everything in place.

“Well, I too was always busy becoming a hot topic in the clothes I wore in social circles.”

‘… … It’s a daughter, but it’s unlucky.’

“It means that the boutique shop I will be creating can set the trend in the future. Isn’t this a good business opportunity?”

Kirsson had the feeling that Cecilia was shining so brightly at this moment.

It reminded me of the impression I received when I first discovered Cecilia, who was acting as a prima donna in a theater when I was young.

‘yes. He was such a beautiful and sparkling child.’

The clothes Cecilia was wearing at that time and the song she sang were still vivid in her mind when she closed her eyes.

‘I was a child who was afraid that it would crumble if I touched it, so I always cherished it again and again, like a jewel that would sparkle the most beautifully in the world… … Kyle, you ruined it.’

Kirsson chewed on the spout of the smoking pipe.

‘But now it’s about to shine again. No, I’m trying to shine more beautifully.’

Kirson gently closed his eyes.

The deeper I think about it, the more something in my heart seems to come up with tears.

“… … Mother?”

Cecilia, unaware of that fact, cautiously called Kirson.

I wondered if there was something wrong with the business description.

Soon after, Kirson slowly opened his eyes and rose from his seat.

It seemed that he was determined to do something.

“Wait here for a moment.”

Kirson disappeared somewhere without listening to Cecilia’s answer.

After a while, two large chests were dragged from one corner of the room.

thud!

“what is this?”

“Do you want to open it?”

“… … ?”

Cecilia suddenly wanted something like this, tilting her head, opening the first chest, and was surprised.

“This, this… … !”

“Things you left behind when you left home.”

Inside the box were many jewelry items and luxurious dresses that Cecilia had used during her acting career.

It has been in possession of it for a long time without disposing of it.

“Since none of the things you used were not expensive, you could make a decent amount of money just by selling them. Open the second chest while you’re away.”

Cecilia swallowed and opened the lid.

I-

It was loaded with gold coins.

“That’s the legacy I originally intended to give you.”

“… … !”

“I have been collecting them separately, but this is how they are used. I will give you some in advance now, so write it. Does it make sense that this magician Kirson’s daughter is borrowing money from somewhere?”

“… … .”

“If that isn’t enough, tell me. I will invest any amount.”

Cecilia pursed her lips.

It was as if the emotions that had died in his mouth a long time ago were awakened again.

-mom.

-mom!

-mom… … .

A word I hadn’t spoken a single time since I was disowned.

Why do the words that I always sang with a glaring smile suddenly linger around my lips?

“… … Why so far?”

“I just came to borrow money, so why are you helping me so much?”

Cecilia silently nodded.

Slightly reddened eyes.

Kirsson turned his head slightly as if he hadn’t seen it and asked for a smoking pipe.

“Even though she looks like a colt, where is the mother in the world who won’t help her only daughter when she asks for help?”

“… … !”

At those words I casually uttered,

Cecilia was so upset that she lowered her head even further.

Whoa-

Kirsson hurriedly left, lowering the smoking pipe.

“I’ll be busy to start work, so why don’t you go.”

In the room left alone, Cecilia’s shoulders moved several times.

* * *

White armor, white sword, white dragon.

The pure white armor and sword, like the snowy field, and the flying dragon armed with iron armor symbolize the Baekgap Dragon Base.

Hope for the people of the north,

Heaps of names that terrify enemies were flying in the sky.

A detached team consisting of 33 members.

“From now on, I will explain the outline of the mission we will undertake.”

At that time, Evelyn’s transmission sound was heard by the members of the 5th crew.

All members who remembered Evelyn, such as Shelford and Arin, looked shocked.

‘You said you broke the sword, but instead of weakening, you became stronger… … !’

‘Your magical powers are so natural. How is it that you can send the whole tone so neatly while on the go?’

‘As expected, the captain’s old right hand!’

Evelyn’s ability, which began to learn the vision of Pungjon while regaining her old skills, was growing at a terrifying pace.

「On the 7th, there was an incident in which Trainer Isben, leader of the squadron number 5, was killed while attempting a rescue operation for the hostages of the Ceres Merchant Merchant along with 14 members of the detached squadron.」

The members who already knew the situation kept their lips shut, while those who did not know turned their faces into shock.

The same goes for Erica and Holcus.

As such, the news that all of Ragnar’s elite had died was not something to be easily passed over.

‘As expected, the hostage situation was altered.’

Theo, on the other hand, thought deeply when his prediction came true.

‘How do I retrieve Balmung?’

It was impossible to act alone in the middle of the operation, so I had to come up with another number.

In the meantime, the issuance of orders continued.

“Therefore, there is only one mission that we must perform.”

All the members of the crew turned to Evelyn.

“obliteration.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

“… … !”

“There are no survivors. They don’t even negotiate with the enemy. Keep in mind that the greatest task of this mission is to annihilate and annihilate all those involved in this matter.”

Underneath Evelyn’s calm tone of voice, there was a thick layer of anger.

Anger at enemies who dared to harm their comrades.

The members also clenched their fists.

“Therefore, rescuing the hostages is the next task. If, due to unavoidable circumstances, hostage rescue and enemy killing collide, focus more on the latter.”

At that time, a hologram of a map floated with a magic tool appeared before the eyes of the crew.

A fortress that stands tall on a hill.

Red dots were formed at some points.

“The enemies are currently occupying the old Blanqui Fortress and holding a sit-in. The marked points are the main deployment points of the enemies identified in the black snow, and we plan to attack these places at once and cut off the enemy’s breath at once.”

‘I can find out this secret only with intelligence… … . After all, black snow is black snow.’

Theo clicked his tongue inwardly.

At that time, I saw an additional blue point forming in one corner of the inner wall.

“Additionally, this is where the hostages are currently being held. Rescue hostages while taking advantage of the enemy’s confusion. This mission is for Shelford, Arin! Let the two of you train together with the three recruits.”

Selford and Arin nodded heavily.

“As I said, keep in mind that the annihilation of the enemy is the top priority for this mission. Show the enemy clearly.”

Just then, in the distance, I saw an old fortress standing lonely on a hill.

Fort Blanqui.

An old castle now abandoned.

“Who we are.”

「John name!」

「John name!」

「John name!」

In an instant, Evelynn’s eyes shone coldly under the deeply pressed helmet.

“descent!”

A 33-member Baekgap-yong corps attempted an assault all at once.
