Chapter 291
Episode 291: If that scary person is a craftsman?
“I said I would be a father to Ian if he wanted to..”
Everyone watched the sword dance performance due to Kwon Ma's bombshell announcement. I wondered how he would react.
Unexpectedly, he just blinked and wasn't surprised..
“I'm not surprised?”
Geommugeukdo’s own response to Hyeolcheondoma’s question seemed surprising..
“Sure. Why am I not surprised??”
Why? I did it to make fun of the horse..
Geommugeuk looked at Gwonma and Ian alternately..
“How on earth can a father and daughter be so polar opposites? Isn’t that why I’m not surprised??”
If someone else had said this, even the Destroyers would have needed a shield, but despite Geommugeuk's teasing, Gwonma obediently agreed. Because his appearance was the complete opposite of what he thought..
“No one will believe me?”
“Master, do you believe it??”
Hyeolcheondoma quietly intervened and made a serious statement sound like a joke..
“They'll think you've been kidnapped.”
The horse nodded as if acknowledging those words..
Just then Ian blurted out.
“father!”
Surprised gazes focused on Ian. Of the three, the one who was most surprised was Gwonma. Ian said while staring at the horse..
“If you don't mind having a daughter like me, please have me as your daughter..”
Gwonma opened his eyes wide. This was the first time I saw him so surprised since I met him..
“Would it be okay for a father like me??”
Quite uncharacteristically, Gwonma's voice trembled. The voice of Gwon Ma, who would not blink even if ten thousand enemies were lined up in front of him, was trembling..
“You are too much for me..”
Tears formed in Ian's eyes. I was so moved to hear that such a great person would be my father. I was so grateful that it brought me to tears..
Ian looked at the sword dance and asked with his eyes..
Can I do this??
It was also an accidental decision for hers. It might have been the most important decision of my life, but I made it in an instant..
Can I really do this??
The answer was a brightly smiling sword dance expression..
“Congratulations, Ian.”
Ian took a deep breath and asked Gwonma again..
“Can I ask you one thing??”
“As much as you want.”
“Why did you say you would make me your daughter??”
Gwonma’s answer was simple..
“Because I wish I had a daughter like you.”
It was Ian's answer that I liked more than any other words..
Ian stood up and bowed to Gwonma..
“Please take care of me in the future... … father.”
‘She burst into tears as she said the word ‘father’..
“The word father... … I did it today for the first time in my life..”
She had never once said the words dad and mom..
I blamed my parents for abandoning me, tried to understand what the story was, missed them, hated them, and tried to forget them. I should never be that kind of parent, no, I shouldn't even be a parent. I should just live alone and die quietly..
As the accumulated emotions overflowed, tears flowed..
Sword Dancer, Hyeolcheon Doma, and Gwonma looked down at her shoulders shaking in silence. I let her cry her heart out. The strongest people in the world stood there protecting her for a long time..
When her crying subsided, the horseman helped her up..
Looking at her covered in tears, Hyeolcheondoma joked..
“Now that we've become ugly, it's a bit like father and daughter..”
Geommugeuk laughed loudly. Originally, he was a person who didn't meddle in other people's affairs. However, he was particularly good at making jokes and jokes about things like horse riding. This means that he gets along well with Gwonma and likes him. They made such a fuss about being ostracized when they go to Mazons gatherings..
A powerful force radiated from the horse’s body as it looked at Ian..
“When I return to school, I will officially announce that you are my daughter. From now on, as long as I live, no one in the martial arts world will treat you carelessly..”
Tears flowed from Ian's eyes again at the horse's declaration..
“I'm crying for the last time. I won't cry anymore.”
I tried to smile, but the tears didn't stop..
The very existence of her parents has always been her biggest wound. I didn't want to tell anyone, and only did sword dance. From now on, I will live my life proud of my father. What is your father doing? My father is Kwon Mai.!
Hyeolcheondoma said with a surprised expression..
“I thought it was a joke when you first said it.”
Geommugeuk received his words..
“You're not the kind of person to play around with something like this.?”
“That scary person is my father-in-law.?”
“Sure. What kind of son-in-law can handle it?.”
Then, Hyeolcheondoma looked at Geommugeuk with an expression that said, ‘I was talking about you!’.
Whether he knew that feeling or not, Geommugeuk made fun of Ian..
“Ian, what about you? The marriage is over..”
Then the horse suddenly said.
“Can't I do it with you??”
Ian waved his hand at the horse's words..
“Don't say that. Master, don't worry about it..”
Gwonma glared at Geommugeuk, waiting for an answer..
“I eat salty food?”
“From now on, eat blandly.!”
It will come out like this?
Geommugeuk said to him with a meaningful smile..
“Can you handle Cheonma’s in-laws??”
The horse flinched at those words. He only thought about Ian and couldn't think about anything else. The only person in the world who can't move is his in-laws? The religious leader and in-laws?
“Here! I'm here! Here is a bride with no intention of getting married.!”
In this chaos, Hyeolcheondoma stroked his chin and imagined that day..
“If we actually get married, there will be an uproar..”
* * *
That night, Kwon Ma was practicing martial arts alone in the backyard of the safe house. Perhaps, he is soothing his complicated mind through martial arts training..
His shirtless muscles were as perfect as if they had been drawn by a painter..
“When will I have a body like Master’s??”
I also took off my top, stood next to him, and threw out a fist. The reason for taking off clothes while practicing martial arts was to examine each muscle movement..
It felt refreshing to practice with him after a long time..
Gwonma had the fifth volume, Diamond Sura, intensively repeated. Herbivory, which temporarily protects her body by making it like steel, was able to save her life in times of crisis. It is also expected that if you use the Diamond Sura and the Heavenly Demon Protector together, you will be able to temporarily see the effect of the Diamond Buddha..
“Why are you teaching Geumgang Sura so intensively??”
“Looking at the current situation, I feel like I need to protect your body first..”
Since the mastermind who was targeting the Murim Lord has appeared, he decided that he cannot be at ease as the leader of the Demonic Cult..
Gwonma repeatedly told the essence of the Geumgang Sura. There were some things I had heard before, and some new ones..
If I didn't understand something, I immediately asked questions, and Gwonma sincerely informed me..
“Well, hang in there.!”
“You're not going to hit me with that fist.?”
“Why not??”
As soon as he finished speaking, the horse's fist flew up..
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwaaang!
I was pushed back without even thinking about blocking the attack, and in the meantime, the Heavenly Demon Protector and Geumgang Sura were activated together, relieving the shock..
Gwonma was very happy when I walked away fine..
“Well done. Geumgangsura will save your life someday. never neglect.”
“I'll keep that in mind.”
After a bout of training, we sat side by side and took a moment to catch our breath..
“May I ask why??”
Even though I asked a variety of questions, Gwonma knew what I was asking..
“Didn't you tell me? I wish I had a daughter like Ian.”
“The real reason.”
After a moment, Gwonma said:.
“I don't know my parents' faces either. So I know more than anyone else how that child feels..”
It was his personal story that I heard for the first time..
“When I was young, I gritted my teeth and denied them. I tried not to even think about taking revenge. Having a desire for revenge means acknowledging them. I tried hard to erase them from my life..”
“What now? Don't you want to find your parents? I've been living this well without you guys. don't you want to talk?”
The horse shook his head and expressed his despair..
“I wish I had that kind of petty revenge lingering in my heart..”
It sounded like it had become desolate without even such feelings..
“I can't believe I'm trying to make someone my family..”
I was grateful for Gwonma, who revealed my human side. Because it meant that you believed in me.
“No, good job..”
“Do you really think so??”
“I want Ian to be happy. And I believe that becoming Master's daughter will be Ian's greatest happiness. It was a good choice for Ian and Master..”
A smile appeared on Gwonma’s scary face. I love this moment. A smile made in fear, the horse fighting at this time is quite cool..
“Thank you for saying that..”
Who would have thought that I would be having this conversation with Gwonma? Gwonma is usually a quiet person, but in situations like this where he had to speak, he spoke better than anyone else..
“It may be difficult in the future.”
“why?”
“You've never been a father, right? What should I do if my daughter rebels??”
The horse raised his fist.
“Won’t it work??”
“If that had worked, would it have been said that raising a child is more difficult than becoming a swordsman??”
Gwonma put down the fist he had playfully raised. That precious fist should not be allowed to go down like that..
“Instead, it will work somewhere else..”
“where?”
“This is what happens when you have the most beautiful daughter in the world. There will be a lot of time to use your fists.”
Knowing what it meant, Gwon Ma clenched his big fist again..
“Sounds fun..”
“Master, you must be having fun. I pray for the rest of my soul in advance..”
You never know what's ahead in a person's life. Who would have imagined that Ian would become the daughter of a magician??
“Maybe Master can really bring down the cliff..”
At the words of Geommugeuk, Gwonma asked with a puzzled look..
“not the other way around?”
How can you collapse a cliff if you are so soft and weak? You must have thought so..
“When people change, martial arts also change..”
Gwonma pondered my words..
“I can only break it if I change.?”
“Can you ever imagine having someone as your adoptive daughter??”
Gwonma slowly shook his head..
“Master has changed. I believe that the change will probably overcome Master's limitations..”
Gwon Ma looked down at his fist and blurted out.
“Maybe when your fists don't thunder, you can knock down cliffs.”
I can't imagine a Byeokryeok Surakwon without the sound of thunder..
But there were also thoughts scarier than the ear-splitting thunder..
A fist that flies without a sound and turns heaven and earth upside down!
When I remembered that scene, Gwonma and I couldn't just stay there. We jumped up and threw our fists. Our training did not stop until dawn..
* * *
I said goodbye to everyone the next day..
“I will go to Gangseo District..”
Originally, the purpose of this expulsion was to stop by the Honam region and the Gangseo region and then return..
Until new clues come out regarding firearms, I have to live my life. Don’t be swayed, stay silent.
“I'm going alone.?”
“huh. Take the two of you and return to the school. Oh, and tell all the escorts waiting on the way back to go back too..”
“I'm going to leave the escort and go alone.?”
“This time it's a secret inspection..”
Since I went to the Honam region proudly with escorts, I plan to visit secretly this time. I hope that the Gangseo district owner is not a corrupt person like the Honam district owner..
“Go first. From now on, don't think about taking advantage of this old man..”
Hyeolcheondoma said only what he had to say and walked out the door. I shouted while looking at his back..
“Considering the results I got from trying to manipulate it, I think it would be difficult..”
Don't worry. If there is any need for the Mazons, I will call other Mazons this time..
Next, I broke up with Gwonma..
“Thank you for teaching me yesterday.”
“be careful.”
Kwon Ma also walked towards the door. Even though that big lantern had more things to protect, the lantern that filled the door and left seemed happier..
When Hyeolcheon Doma and Gwonma went out first, Ian finally revealed his true feelings..
“sorry.”
“what?”
“You decided on such an important matter without even discussing it in advance..”
“You didn't decide in advance either.?”
“I think I should have asked at least in full at the moment of decision..”
She must have been worried about that all night and had trouble sleeping. Yes, because she is such a good girl, she should become the daughter of a knight..
“Because it is such an important matter, we make that decision. Do what your instincts tell you to do.”
“What if it's the wrong choice??”
“I have to endure it. Suffering under a scary father.”
Ian made an expression imagining that time and pretended to tie his head..
“He's not just a scary father! He's the scariest father in the world..”
“It's the second time, so don't worry. There is a poor child in front of you who has his first father..”
Ian laughed at my joke..
“Trust your instincts. Your martial arts skills and your heart. The stronger you become, the more your instincts will function correctly..”
“I'll keep that in mind, master..”
“See you later at the school.”
“be careful.”
Ian, who was about to walk out, turned around in front of the door..
“To be the daughter of Master Kwon. Thanks to you, I came this far. Thank you so much.”
“Ian, our journey may not have even begun yet..”
Surprised, Ian can't even imagine what's beyond..
“How far are you going to go??”
“I don't know that either.”
“It doesn't sound like a joke anymore.”
“Because it's not a joke.”
The only goal of my life is not to kill fire weapons. My goal is to live this life happily. To do that, you just have to kill Hwamugi. Because even after killing Hwamugi, my life will continue. Me and my people too.
“Master, you said that to me, right? If you're tired, take a break..”
“It was like that.”
“You look very tired now.”
It's not just because of training until dawn. Because I've been on edge lately thinking about firearms. No matter how much I hide it, Ian can feel and read my emotions..
I smiled at her and nodded..
“Come on, take a break..”
Even she left like that..
I stood in the yard of the safe house for a moment and looked up at the sky. I try to watch it whenever I have time. Every time I see it, the sky seems to be saying this. Yes, no matter how busy you are, let’s live while looking at me..
I know better than anyone else that when life starts to push you around, it's difficult to even raise your head. Like my life before regression.
At that time, I only looked at the ground, not the sky. I just looked at the ingredients to fill my pockets. All I did was see how to kill the enemy. The sky would have been blue like that back then too.…….
I left the safe house hoping that this trip to Gangseo would be a comfortable and peaceful journey..
So, you wicked people, get some rest! please!
