Chapter 93
Episode 93: The villains get along well.
Mabul did not go to his residence but visited Geommuyang again..
After seeing Geommugeuk, I wanted to see Geommuyang one more time. I felt like I would fall asleep if I had to see more..
“Are you here??”
He was always upright and polite..
Since we met earlier and then broke up, why did you come again? I have to ask, but Geommuyang did not often reveal personal questions or feelings..
To the point where I think there might be an obsession with having to do that in order to become the Heavenly Demon..
There was no day when I felt that distance more clearly than today, but I wasn't one to be swayed by something like this..
“Gongja Lee came to visit..”
“Is it non-geuk??”
“yes.”
“okay.”
Geommuyang did not ask what they discussed when they met. I just nodded once..
“Why don't you ask? Why did you come and what did you talk about?.”
“it's okay. I trust the old man.”
Mabul thought that he had come to the right place for Geommuyang..
‘Yes, the Archduke was originally this kind of person. Although he is not delicate and blunt, he is like Jin-gook. Yes, I believe it too. This is how we solve it all.’
Mabul tried to release all the accumulated emotions..
I brushed off everything, including meeting with the leader of the Pungcheon cult and offering to give Hyeolcheon Doma the position of First Magon..
“Then rest.”
Mabul got up from his seat. I wish it had ended here. I wish I had just left it to myself to throw away all this emotional debris..
Geommuyang spoke from behind..
“The reason I offered Hyeolcheondoma the position of First Magon was to appease him..”
Mabul was startled and stopped moving..
‘Why now? Why now? Why are you saying this after meeting Geommugeuk when you didn't do it when you wanted it so much??’
Mabul did not turn around right away for fear that his deep inner feelings would be revealed on his face..
Geommuyang spoke again from behind..
“If I become the Heavenly Demon, the First Majon will naturally be an elder..”
Mabul was angry..
I thought that I was saying this because I was anxious because I was worried that Geommugeuk might try to placate me after treating me like a fish I caught so far..
‘Why does this make you feel this way? You say you believe in me?’
Even if I tried to understand it because it was normal, I was upset..
‘Archduke, weren't you the one who ignored your younger brother? He wasn't the kind of person who was confident and confident.?’
But I couldn't be angry. Because he was the one who tried to show how much sword dance drama had changed by mobilizing even the Yunnan Twins..
That's right, your younger brother is someone you have to be nervous about..
But it didn't have to lead to distrust of oneself.…….
Mabul smiled and turned around..
“Of course I knew you would.”
“I'm worried that you might misunderstand my feelings because I'm saying this right after I met my younger brother..”
Oh, I shouldn't have said this either. If that was the case, it would have been just a coincidence, insensitive, or a misunderstanding. Even if I was forced to think that way, I would have thought that way..
“What misunderstanding could I have? I just want to thank you for considering me so seriously..”
“It's natural. don't say that.”
“Then I'll just leave..”
With that, Mabul bowed politely and left Geommuyang’s residence..
Today, when Mabul returned to his residence after walking alone on a dark road without moonlight, he organized his thoughts like this..
‘That's because I'm still young. If you are as perfect as a scientist, why do you need me? A master craftsman with weaknesses is better than a master craftsman like a snake. I just need to take a good look at it..’
His loyalty to Geommuyang was as bright as the radiance emanating from his body..

Ilhwa Geomzon came to visit me at Hwangcheongak office..
“Well, this is a gift.”
She held out a flower pot in full bloom..
“thank you It's pretty.”
I put the flower pot by the window.
As I was exchanging a few words with her about flowers, Seo Dae-ryong came in with tea. I, feeling playful, spoke solemnly to Seo Dae-ryong..
“From now on, it will be Inspector Seo’s responsibility to take care of those flowers when I’m away. It's a special gift from Geomjon, but you know what happens if you kill that flower.?”
If it were just the two of them, all kinds of gloomy yet funny things would have come out, but because Ilhwageomjon was there, Seo Dae-ryong just answered yes and left..
We all went together when we visited the Pungcheon religious leader, but Ilhwa Geomjon was still too difficult for Seo Dae-ryong..
“I'm not sure if you came to visit me even though I'm busy..”
“no. It's the investigators who do the work, I'm just fooling around.”
There were too many documents piled up on my desk to say that..
There was a lot of work to be done at Hwangcheongak.
No matter how many times we put them in, the evildoers kept coming out. The number of evildoers may have been fixed to begin with. I even thought that if one person vacated the position, it would automatically be filled..
But no matter how busy I was, Hwangcheongak work was as important as becoming the successor..
I have the task of a lifetime to kill Fire Mugi, but at the same time, I am living in this era..
“My older brother also visited you.?”
I guessed correctly the reason for her visit today.
“okay. I came looking for you.”
“Oh, you're so diligent, my brother..”
“That's why it's so popular.”
I nodded in approval. He was mean and harsh to me, but he looked different to the outside..
There was no arrogance or complacency, thinking that since he was the archduke, he should naturally be the successor. He thinks a lot, thinks a lot, and above all, is a diligent person..
“I know that there are many people who like you..”
“The Archduke is someone who gets along well with our school. If I leave it to you, there is a sense of stability that it will lead you well..”
“About me?”
“You really are the wrong person. Where will it lead us? Rather, it makes me anxious. But seeing as how popular it is,…….”
After a moment, Ilhwageomzon continued speaking..
“I think there is hope for us too..”
“What hope??”
“I hope that the new magic island you mentioned can be established..”
“Thank you for your kind opinion.”
“But don't forget. There are still many people at our school who dislike change. There are many people who believe that evil is our strength and essence..”
“I'll keep that in mind.”
“By the way, are you just going to watch when the Archduke moves so quickly??”
“Other than the two of you, Doma and your senior, I don’t know much about other mazons. I don't know who to get on our side..”
I was curious about what Ilhwa Geomzon was thinking, so I pretended not to know anything..
Then she said something unexpected..
“Do you know who voted for Cheongseon instead of me and Doma when electing the Seophonmazon? The one Thomas persuaded..”
“I don't know. Because the old man didn't tell me.”
“Shall I tell you??”
Originally, events and decisions made among the Mazon were kept completely secret from the outside world. She's trying to break that rule for me..
“can you tell me?”
“It won't work.”
“But why?”
“I also try to live by breaking the rules..”
And then he smiled. How can a person be only halfway through this??
“Actually, I am a stubborn and inflexible person. If there are set rules, they don't tend to break them. If I have an appointment with someone, I have to arrive early, and if I'm misunderstood, I'm the kind of person who gets anxious and can't sleep. I have a lot of worries that I don't have to worry about, and I'm sensitive to the world's evaluation of me. I'm kind of tired for one reason or another.”
“Isn’t that fatigue what created your current reputation??”
Ilhwa Geomzon smiled bitterly..
“In some ways, that may have been the case. Anyway, I'm trying to be more flexible now. How about breaking some rules? If it helps you, it's worth it..”
“Is there a reason you changed your mind??”
“As I get older, I keep looking back at my life. I regret this, I regret that, I regret everything in my life, but this is what I regret the most..”
Chaaaang.
She gently drew her sword. Her eyes turned to the blade..
“I have dedicated my life to making sure that no one breaks this sword. Instead, my life became that much harder..”
She lifted her gaze from the sword and looked at me and said.
“It's a pity that I've lived life so rigidly..”
I felt that she truly regretted it..
I spoke softly, as if comforting her..
“Are you sad that no one seems to know about your life? Even though I lived so thoroughly, I felt like no one really understood that. Everyone is doing well, but you wonder if I'm alone in feeling regretful.?”
Then, surprise appeared on Ilhwa Geomzon’s face..
“How do you really know my heart so well??”
It's a feeling I've felt at least once..
“It's because I respect my senior a lot..”
Ilhwa Geomzon said with a wide smile..
“Yes, I should tell you. There is someone who understands my feelings so well and respects me, so what kind of rules are they hiding? The person who voted in favor is Extreme Soma..”
I was surprised by what she said..
“Amazing?”
“yes. Isn't Extreme Soma from your brother's side??”
“That's right.”
It was unexpected.
It was surprising that Extreme Evil Soma took our side, and it was even more surprising that Hyeolcheon Doma persuaded him..
Ilhwa Geomzon interpreted this part as follows:.
“They're both villains, so they probably got along well..”
I chuckled, but she was serious..
“In case other people don't know, I'm telling you that it's something that Extreme Soma was involved in. Because I am not a person who is easy to see. Maybe Thomas has other thoughts..”
I asked with a smile.
“Do you hate old man Thomas that much??”
“I'm not hateful. Because hating means having some kind of strong emotion. I just kind of hate it..”
She stood up, struggling to push Thomas out of her life..
“Well then, I guess I'll just go..”
“Important information, thank you for sharing.”
“Think of it as a gift from a non-Music friend..”
As she was about to leave, Seo Dae-ryong was standing in the hallway holding a water bottle for the flower pots..
On the other hand, it was an effort to impress Ilhwa Geomzon, but the problem was that she became a little sensitive when she mentioned Doma..
Ilhwa Geomzon spoke coldly to Seo Dae-ryong, who had now become a disciple of the villain Doma from an investigator at Hwangcheongak..
“That flower is my favorite flower. If I die because of someone's mistake, I will be very sad..”
When she left, Seo Dae-ryong became tearful..
“From now on, I am the third most important person in this office. From now on, the name of that flower is Lee In-ja..”
I left the office laughing at his self-deprecating jokes..
“where are you going?”
“Meet the evil soma.”
“omg! You say such scary things as if you're going to eat.?”
“Are you scared of Extreme Soma??”
Seo Dae-ryong asked with his eyes wide open in surprise..
“Then you're not scared? Of all the mazons at our school, I am most afraid of Extreme Soma..”
“You said before that the Soul Mazon was the scariest.?”
“Because I'm dead now.”
“Why is Extreme Soma so scary? Because the word “extreme evil” is attached to it,?”
“Didn't you hear? When Extreme Soma is angry, it's really scary..”
“When I get angry, I get scared too. I think I'm most scared of you?”
“Please leave me out. I am a person who goes alone when I get angry. My dream is to live without ever getting angry. He was that kind of person…….”
He knew and I knew that he had changed quite a bit now, so we looked at each other and smiled..
“Are you really not scared??”
“Why am I scared when I go to see funny people??”
“What a funny person?”
“It's a cow?”
In the face of the extreme evil, people often forget that he is Soma. It was the same for Seo Dae-ryong..
“It won't be a laughing matter. If you peel off the cow that will laugh, you will see the following words written underneath: a cow to be burned to death, a cow to be torn to death, and a cow to be blown to death. omg! I'm sure you're not trying to attract the evil Soma to our side, are you? please say no.”
“Are you afraid that he is your enemy? Are you afraid of being an ally??”
“of course… … However, it is not possible to become a very evil soma.!”
That's what I said, but I know better than anyone else. That Extreme Soma is someone who can never be an ally..
Nevertheless, the reason I go to meet him is to make him neither an ally nor an enemy..
