The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 11
〈 11Episode 〉 Village leader Kang-ho's first appearance, and the seductress (5）
* * *
The top floor of Gyeonghwaru.
Hwa-seo looked at Mo Li-won, who was kneeling in front of him..
You could say it was ugly.
The blue silk clothes that were handed to me were half peeled off with what looked like seasoning on them here and there, and the hair was sticking out here and there, reminiscent of a bird's nest..
Not only that, but there was also a scar on the nape of his neck that looked like it had been scratched by fingernails..
Should I say it's funny that my first thought is that she looks pitiful even though she looks pretty?.
Hwa-seo sighed and opened her mouth, feeling dizzy..
“Let me ask first. Why did you run away??”
“…That little guy tried to rape me..”
“With the military force of the small cooperatives, they would have been able to stop it..”
“How can you use martial arts on civilians? Besides, I thought I couldn't touch his body carelessly since he was drunk..”
Even though I'm watching you secretly, I say everything I want to say..
Hwaseo thought this was truly amazing and asked:.
“If you thought so much about the people, wouldn't you have done it?.”
“Well, what is that... ! How can you have sex with someone you don't love? I am not that kind of scoundrel.!”
Hwa-seo's mouth was tightly shut..
‘Then it's okay to get bullied?’
How on earth does it make no sense to say that it's okay to grin at the thought of being sexually harassed, but it's not okay to sleep with a woman you're attracted to?.
Hwa-seo had to struggle to hold back the questions that suddenly arose..
“Yeah, let's put it that way..”
I decided that if I had to say more, it would only hurt my mouth, and I didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble since this wasn't what I expected from him in the first place..
Mok Ri-won trembled at the sight of Hwa-seo speaking less and then answered..
“I'm sorry... It was a task that was entrusted to me, but I just caused trouble for no reason..”
“That's it. It's something that can't be helped..”
“One store suffered a blow….”
“It can't be there. Would you allow the rumor that a woman from a famous family tried to rape a man in Giru and got beaten up? Even if we don't make any moves, they will crack down on joining first..”
In fact, that was the biggest reason why Hwa-seo didn't worry about today..
The person who entrusted the entertainment to Mo Liwon was the wife of a famous family in Suyang County..
In other words, it is a kind of product that will be sold in the marriage market..
The famous brands are people who do not want unnecessary faults added to their products, so there is no need for Hwaseo to worry about this..
“However, it wouldn't make sense to not give any punishment just because it's okay..”
“Bee, bee.?”
“There is no problem with Lou's safety, but if you think about it differently, we have lost a big hand. Think about it. Would you ever want to come back to a place where you were humiliated??”
Mokriwon’s mouth dropped open..
“Oops…!”
“Even if that customer is embarrassed, he won't stop by here. Phew… Whenever he stopped by, he was responsible for more than 80% of the daily sales..”
Cold sweat ran down Mok Riwon’s whole body..
Hwaseo was convinced that his intentions were working well..
‘The more debt you have, the better..’
If you were this naive, it couldn't have been easier to take advantage of you..
“Now, are you ready??”
“That, that….”
Hwaseo smiled crookedly..
At that, Mokriwon's pupils trembled as if there was an earthquake..
Even while thinking about something big happening, Mok Riwon thought..
‘Oh, it's beautiful.…!’
Even the way Hwa-seo smiles is truly beautiful..
*
Although he was afraid of punishment, what Mok Riwon actually did was not difficult at all for him..
“It will be like this?”
“Yes, it works.”
The top floor of Gyeonghwaru.
Mokriwon had now changed into the gray military uniform he had been wearing instead of the tattered silk clothes..
Hwa-seo glanced at Mo Ri-won, who had already returned to his unmanned state, then shifted his gaze back to the book he was reading and said,.
“Although we have escorts, the more defenses the better. Please stay by my side in case the Ilryunhoe asks for help from an outside expert..”
“one….”
“What is it?”
I hesitated and pondered my words..
‘It doesn't seem like a punishment.….’
I felt stabbed for no reason because the words telling me to stay by my side as a warrior felt more like a reward than a punishment..
While Mok Ri-won is feeling uncomfortable due to his guilty conscience,.
Hwa-seo sighed at the sight of Mok-ri-won groaning..
“Escort won't be so easy.”
“hmm?”
“People come out immediately to make a fuss to see me. If the Ilryunhoe invited a master, they would hide him among them and bring him here. You have to be nervous because you have to identify an unmanned person in a noisy environment..”
“As for those who cause trouble,….”
“There are a lot. From outsiders who came to see me because they were tempted to say that I was a temptress, merchants from the low street, and even customers who were not satisfied with Giru's treatment..”
Mo Ri-won looked at Hwa-seo's face again and muttered..
“…I'm sure that's true..”
Although she had only recently appeared in the world, Mok Ri-won was confident that she would be a beauty that could not easily be found anywhere else..
That's because if there are people like this in the world of power that make your mind go blank just by looking at them, wouldn't the world be full of fools and not charlatans?.
In the world that Mok Ri-won knew, there were far more charlatans than fools, so according to his own evidence, Hwa-seo was definitely a beauty..
“I understand..”
Mo Liwon nodded with a determined expression..
And then asked.
“Then you can start working from now on.?”
“When a rowdy guest arrives. I definitely said that.”
Mokriwon sat down in various places..
“I understand.”
Seeing Hwa-seo looking at her with sparkling eyes like an obedient puppy, Hwa-seo felt anxious for no reason..
‘…Are you okay??’
Wouldn’t it be right to just give them more training and send them to the reception department?.
Regrets began to well up late..
*
Three more days have passed.
In the meantime, Mok Ri-won stayed by Hwa-seo's side and observed her at all times except when she was sleeping or practicing..
In the meantime, there is a judgment about her, which is that Hwa-seo is a great person who deserves to be called a great person in the world..
‘Yeonhwa Sojeo really has a beautiful heart.!’
her day was busy.
The kiln was operated from late afternoon until just before sunrise, and the work never stopped until the kiln workers finished their work..
He flicks through letters written in various confusing letters and gives orders to the right place. At the same time, he worries that his subordinates will have a hard time, so he even takes on the hard work himself..
Even eating a meal was something that took time out of work, and employees were given plenty of time to eat, so Mok Ri-won couldn't think of a word to describe her other than "great person.".
A light of admiration appeared in Mok Riwon’s eyes..
While Hwa-seo was busy taking care of her work, she turned her head to look at Mo Li-won due to his stinging gaze..
“What is it?”
“I thought that Yeonhwa Sojeo was truly a great person.!”
“suddenly?”
In response to the retort he made while narrowing his eyebrows, Mok Ri-won continued to speak..
It was mainly praise for her..
Hwa-seo couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself when he saw Mok-ri-won just smiling, wondering why he had an iron plate on his face..
I didn't even think of that as flattery..
This is because after spending the last few days with Mok Riwon, I realized that he is a person who cannot lie..
“stop…!”
When Hwa-seo said that with a red face, Mo Ri-won only stopped talking..
Hwa-seo took a deep breath and shook off the heat from her body..
‘What kind of person is this?…!’
I wanted to swear, but it wasn't easy..
Of course, it was the face's fault.
Every single thing he does is so frustrating that it makes me explode, but his face is so handsome that the moment I see it, I can't stop cursing him..
The last three days were a time that made Hwa-seo realize how important a good face is in alleviating anger..
“If you have nothing to do, at least meditate. Or even read a book..”
The words I said when I thought I couldn’t work because of the burden of attention..
Mokriwon said, ‘Ah!’ and then asked that question..
“You can read books?”
“If there is nothing urgent to do right now, do what you want to do. All you have to do is keep your seat..”
Also, do you like books?.
Hwaseo thought about that as he observed Mokriwon..
As soon as permission was given, Mo Ri-won took out a book from his pocket..
“…Ganghohyeobgaekjeon?”
“oh! You know this too?”
Hwa-seo nodded..
That's because the book 'The Story of Gangho and Hyeopgaekgaek' was quite famous in martial arts circles..
“It's quite popular among children from famous families..”
Of course, the moment your brain starts to grow to a certain extent, you realize the nonsense of that book and start to stay away from it..
An answer that swallows back words.
Mok Riwon smiled brightly at those words and said,.
“hmm! I think this is a really popular book! I've been re-reading it for over ten years now, but it gives me new emotions every time.!”
“…You mean that book??”
“This is the only book in my life.!”
Being a one-of-a-kind book certainly means it in the literal sense..
Hwa-seo felt a belated awakening of realization..
‘They say that a person who has read only one book is scarier than someone who doesn't read. There's nothing wrong with that old saying..’
I was able to see at once where Mok Riwon's ignorant and frustrating personality came from..
Hwaseo shook his head at the sight of Mok Ri-won unfolding the biography of the powerful and tyrants and beginning to read it voraciously..
‘After all, we are not a group of people who will live for a long time..’
You have to be so stupid to be a guest somewhere..
For no reason, those worries started to come to mind..
I didn't know about the flowers..
At some point, I began to feel concerned rather than ridiculed about his ignorance..
*
Another two days later, the moment has finally come for Mokriwon to get to work..
“I'm telling you to bring Rouge.!”
5The cries of drunken people echo throughout the two-story building..
Hwa-seo raised her head at that..
“It seems like what I've been waiting for has come.”
“I can go out.?”
“still wait.”
Hwa-seo closed the book she was reading and stood up..
Sohyang, a close associate who had suddenly appeared, was kneeling next to her..
“They came in droves. Drunken people account for 70% of the total, and merchants from the low street are involved in the chaos, making up the remaining 30%..”
“그네들은 내가 동네 개새끼로 보이나 보구나. How can you think that if you do this, they will obey you obediently??”
I have already noticed the method of the Ilryun Association..
The first thing to do is to increase the resentment of merchants by doubling the protection fee, and then turn the arrow on yourself and narrow your position..
And if you don't back down, the second time will be to use force to force you into submission..
‘All you have to do is not get caught in the family crest..’
That was the reason I held on until now..
Because he must be a greedy Rouge of Giru who does not know that he is a martial artist, he must be a small evil that can be found anywhere..
But that too is over now.
Now that I have a sword that I am very satisfied with,.
Hwa-seo glanced at Mo Ri-won..
“Find it unattended. The experts they invited are probably at the top level. I guess I can handle that with just a small group of people and my escorts..”
If you just get rid of Ilryunhoe, your identity can be completely washed..
When Mok Ri-won said the words with such thoughts in mind, he gently opened his closed eyes and said,.
“It's the climax.”
Stop.
Hwa-seo’s body stiffened..
The eyes were getting huge..
“…yes?”
a dumb question.
Mokriwon muttered again, showing a grim expression he had never seen before..
“Down there, there is a supreme warrior..”
