The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 231
EP.232 Chapter 2 - Appearance, Meeting (12)

The child's eyes are so round.
Your cheeks are red and your smile is mischievous..
“It's my dad!”
The voice he shouts while pointing at Namgung Jincheon with his small hand is also youthful..
that was the problem.
How could Namgung Jincheon give birth to a child?.
Not anyone else, but ‘him’ Namgung Jincheon..
Namgung Jincheon’s quote comes to mind again and again..
-I don't fall for provocation or anything like that..
-Looks like there is no mother.
-Come, you disgusting whore..
-Are you mocking me??
The more it happened, the more the feeling of disparity became deeper..
Mokriwon was confused and doubted reality..
‘Is it a dream??’
“Is it a dream??”
Danghwaseo was rubbing his eyes..
Then he looked at Namgoong Young with narrowed eyes, and as if that wasn't enough, he slapped his cheek..
Mokriwon asked.
“You adopted me?”
“That's my daughter.”
Mok Ri-won looked at Nam Gung Jincheon's bright blue eyes, somber face, and tightly closed mouth for a while and then looked at Nam Gung Young again..
They don't look alike either.
“…no.”
Does the bridge of the nose look a bit similar??
I was thinking about it.
“…!”
It was only after Mok Ri-won took a closer look at Nam Gung-yeong that he could realize this..
There was a resemblance.
“No, I'm boneless…!”
“Because she's my daughter.”
Oh my gosh, I can feel the invincibility of this young girl..
His natural bone structure is truly suited to wielding a sword..
The face doesn't look alike, but the skeleton looks exactly like Namgung Jincheon..
After looking at Namgung-yeong for a long time, Mok Ri-won was only able to realize that the child was the mother..
“Ha, ha….”
“Shh.”
Breathe! And Mokriwon took a deep breath..
I glanced at it and saw that Namgung Jincheon did not tell his daughter about Calligraphy's identity..
Now that I think about it, where is the calligraphy?.
There's no way she won't come just because she's in a political faction's territory.….
“Look for me?”
The door opened and Calligraphy came in..
She gave off a much more adult vibe than Mok Riwon remembered..
“It's mom!”
As Namgung-yeong ran, Seo-ye picked him up..
The smiling face holding the child in her arms was undeniably that of a mother..
Looking at it this way, Namgoong Young looks exactly like his mother..
I see.
I see.
Mokriwon tried to understand, but it wasn't easy..
“Oh, I understand.”
Zhuge Shan tapped his shoulder..
It was a thoughtful face..
Mokriwon fully understood that feeling..
anyway,
“This is how I greet you. We're getting married.”
calligraphy said.
It was something strange..
It was like saying ‘I do’ rather than ‘I did’..
“…I guess so.”
Mo Liwon stopped thinking..
“Are you there?!”
Il-woon and Hye-woon came in later..
It's been so long since I last saw you again that I should have been happy to see you, but I didn't even have time to say hello..
“hello!”
Namgoong Young’s presence dominated the space..
It was a terrible magic trick or illusion..
Even Ilwoon and Hyeun stiffened the moment they saw Namgoongyoung..
“What am I seeing wrong??”
Hyewoon hit my chin with her fist..
Unfortunately it wasn't a dream.
*
It took quite some time for the situation to be sorted out..
If I were to choose the experience that most closely resembles this situation, I would choose the day Mokriwon entered the Tangmun ban and passed the Jinbeop..
Even thinking about the cancer, with everyone denying reality and suffering with blank faces, reminds me of that time..
“I'm late? Better than that idiot?”
Hyewoon showed the most dramatic reaction..
He shook his head and trembled as if his common sense was lost, and Ilwoon looked at Namgoongyoung next to him with a thoughtful face..
Zhuge Shan was sipping alcohol..
I remember that I didn't like alcohol that much..
“It happened like that..”
“done!”
Namgung Jincheon had a solemn face with Namgung Young sitting on his lap..
That really didn't suit me.
Meanwhile, the thing that caught Mokriwon's attention the most was Danghwaseo..
“The child is so pretty.”
“Because she's my daughter.”
“Geomryong, I’m glad I don’t look like you..”
“Is it a provocation??”
“shut your mouth.”
“….”
I'm joking, but Mokriwon knew..
There was a bitterness in Danghwaseo's face that could not be hidden..
It had to be that way..
The master of Tangmun, the best poison attack user in the central plains, and a body that is invulnerable to poison..
In return for receiving such a fancy title, Tang Hwa-seo had to sacrifice one thing that others naturally have..
Even though I don't want to.
“aunt?”
“Every lady.”
“Geomryong, let me take a look..”
“It's my aunt.”
Danghwaseo cannot have children..
Even though he said his dream was to start a normal family, he couldn't get what he needed..
Mokriwon felt very sorry about that fact..
This was because I already knew how much Dang Hwa-seo suffered alone until she told herself that..
I kept my mouth shut because I felt like it would be rude to even say words of comfort..
“So how did it come about? What does it mean to get married now??”
Zhuge Shan, who recovered quickly, asked.
The atmosphere has changed..
Namgung Jincheon said.
“It happened by chance. I couldn't tell my family because I was doing non-military work, and I only got permission now..”
“You didn't object.?”
“He really liked it..”
Zhuge Shan muttered at Calligraphy’s words..
“Well, who is taking that person?.”
“Is it a provocation??”
“It's a compliment.”
“Right.”
“People are the same.”
Zhuge Shan laughed empty-handedly..
That's how the atmosphere started to relax..
“I need to drink it. Only then will you wake up from your dream, right? This can't be true.”
Hyewoon blew on the bottle..
In the first place, it was questionable why a nun would be competitive about marriage and childbirth, but anyway, Hye-woon drank alcohol and Il-woon laughed as if he was troubled..
Namgung Jincheon and Seo Ye were in harmony, and Namgung Young was pretty..
Danghwaseo tried not to show his anger and pretended to be cheerful, and Mokriwon did the same..
“Congratulations.”
Still, I smiled as I thought it was something to celebrate..
*
It was a reunion for all of Yongbongdan, so we shared a lot of stories from the past..
Then it was late evening..
Tang Huaxu left the Zhuge family manor with Mo Liyuan..
The walk to the place where Tangmun's manor was located was slow..
“The kid was so cute.”
As I spoke in a strangely awkward way, Mokriwon responded a little late..
“I guess so.”
“But I'm worried. The father is a sword dragon. How come humans haven’t changed at all??”
“Hao Wen-ju is not clear-headed..”
“That's how it should be.”
In the alley, where the heat of the day had disappeared, only the sound of birds chirping was quietly ringing in the darkness..
Sometimes, when words break, an indescribable silence weighs on my shoulders..
Trap, plod, only the sound of footsteps echoes lightly.
Meanwhile, Mokriwon suddenly opened his mouth..
“In the future, I guess..”
Danghwaseo’s gaze turned to Mokriwon..
“yes?”
“It's a story from a very distant future..”
He was walking forward with a gentle face.
What are you trying to say?.
Danghwaseo tilted his head at that unfamiliar sight..
“Once we resolve the war against the Demonic Cult and Kangho's accident, the time will come when we will have to decide on retirement. All my seniors so far haven't been like that..”
Danghwaseo nodded..
Then Mokriwon said:.
“When that time comes, there is something I want to do with Sojeo..”
Mokriwon’s head turned towards Danghwaseo..
The face with his back to the moonlight may have looked cold, but perhaps because of the smile on his face, the shadowed face seemed very warm..
So Danghwaseo asked.
“What is?”
“It's about setting up a military officer..”
Standing tall, Danghwaseo’s steps stopped..
Mo Riwon also stopped walking and turned towards Danghwaseo..
Still with a warm smile.
“I want to teach children. Not a great new skill, but just a military officer who teaches martial arts properly even if they are just wandering around the streets..”
I was able to understand Danghwaseo at once..
Ah, this person is comforting me now..
It was impossible to know that Mokriwon was confronting his sincerity..
“I will teach you cultivation of the mind rather than martial arts. I will develop the habit of constantly thinking about the duties of a human being and the attitude and cooperation of a warrior. So, I want to guide my children to grow up to be good adults..”
It wasn't just an attempt to comfort him..
Probably, you really pictured that future in your head before saying these words..
Only then could a man speak so freely..
“But I'm a bit clueless. I am confident that I can teach the sword and teach the mind, but I have no idea how to build or run an army..”
For some reason, the face with a shy smile, as if embarrassed, is deeply engraved on my retina..
“So I would like to ask Sojeo for a favor..”
As his outstretched hand wrapped around mine, Dang Hwa-seo felt a cold feeling for no reason..
“In the distant future, when that day comes. can you help me a little?”
It was a word that really tickled me..
In this way, he was a person who, at unexpected moments, could penetrate into the heart that he himself could not quite understand and comforted him..
Mokriwon was like that from the beginning..
7Years have passed, but that hasn't changed one bit..
Mokriwon asked.
Then he looked at Namgoong Young with narrowed eyes, and as if that wasn't enough, he slapped his cheek..
“You adopted me?”
That was so funny and happy, Danghwaseo burst out in laughter..
“You have a cute corner.”
“huh?”
“no. Please think about my request..”
Mok Ri-won’s expression became perplexed..
‘Isn't this what it is?' It was a face that clearly seemed to be thinking something like that..
Danghwaseo clasped his hands..
“Let's go.”
So I walked the streets at night.
The conversation suddenly stopped, but the silence didn't feel as heavy as before..
