Absolute Regression

Episode 118: Cheeky and pretty heart.

“You were much prettier.”

Extreme Soma easily jumped over the trap. Hearing his words, Chen Heruju smiled brightly.

“Don’t say that. “It wasn’t to that extent.”

“No. It was much better in my eyes.”

Soma, who had been through all sorts of hardships, showed that he was never shaken by a sudden surprise attack.

Still, Extreme Soma’s gaze was focused on Ian. Yes, it was not easy for anyone to take their eyes off such a beautiful woman.

Even at this time, Extreme Soma did not recognize Ian who came in with him.

It was Chen Hualouju who recognized Ian.

“Congratulations, Mr. Lee.”

She was calm, as if she knew this would happen.

“Thank you, Rouju.”

Hearing Ian’s voice, Extreme Soma was startled.

he asked with wide eyes.

“Could it be that ugly heart? no way?”

I was so surprised that the words “I can’t believe it” came out twice.

Ian said with a smile.

“Yes, it is an ugly heart, but it has a funny talent.”

Extreme Soma jumped up and approached Ian. I stared at her face up close. Ian trembled with fear under the pressure of the white mask.

Extreme Soma tilted his head.

“There may be some resemblance, but it’s not. Surely not?”

Extreme Soma looked at me.

“Are you trying to make fun of me?”

“It’s true that I came here to make fun of you, and my heart is also right.”

“That’s right?”

Extreme Soma glanced at Ian again.

“It can’t be. “No, absolutely not!”

He, who strongly denied it, looked back at Cheonhwaruju behind him. She nodded once with a yes expression on her face.

Extreme Soma asked me.

“What happened?”

“I used to look like this, but I gained so much weight as a side effect of self-defense.”

“You look like this to begin with, but you were an escort? “Isn’t this our school’s greatest waste of talent?”

At the same time, it was the highest praise for Extreme Soma.

Ian said to him with a smile.

“That’s because I want to protect you, Master.”

Of course, it was I who set the facts straight.

“Did you do it because you wanted to? You know it well, right? “How does our school work?”

“This school is acting in such a heartless manner that we end up acting as the mazon and successors. However…”

Extreme Soma’s eyes turned to Ian.

“I guess we’ll have to make an exception in this case.”

A new admiration was added to the extreme evil soma’s gaze towards her. It was not an admiration for her beauty, but an admiration for her sacrifice.

Tianhuaruju went to Ian and held his hands.

“It’s so beautiful. congratulation.”

“thank you.”

“Now, follow me. “I will complete this drone.”

“Completion?”

“You don’t know how to put on makeup, do you?”

“…yes.”

Have you ever worn makeup properly while working as an escort?

“There are times in life when you have to fight with something other than a sword. “For a woman, makeup is a more powerful weapon than a sword.”

Tianhua Luzhu took her hand and left the room. Ian, too, seemed to want to learn how to do makeup, so he pretended not to be able to resist and was dragged out.

“It’s frustrating, but let’s go out.”

“great.”

I left the room with Extreme Soma. The area around Cheonhwaruju’s residence was well-decorated, making it a good place to take a walk.

“Being with Lee Gongja is truly a series of amazing experiences.”

“I think you were surprised. “Even I was surprised that the side effects of martial arts were resolved.”

However, the amazing experience that Extreme Soma was just talking about was not about Ian, but about the previous fight.

“As we fought that day, I thought we might be killed by Baek Mang-gi.”

I didn’t know it was really that strong.

But what was truly surprising was not Baek Mang-gi’s strength. Now, Extreme Soma is revealing his honest feelings.

“So did I.”

“But Lee Gongja killed him.”

“If Soma-sama hadn’t helped me, I would have been the one who died.”

That was an obvious fact.

Extreme Soma stared at me.

“I think I know what Soma is thinking now.”

“What am I thinking?”

“I’m sure he’s the one who killed the Soul Mazon!”

Extreme Soma laughed loudly.

“Wrong. I told you this before, right? I already believe that. Because I believed in it, I stuck with Baekmanggi. Otherwise, I would have gotten out of there without even looking back.”

“Did you believe me? Risking your life?”

After a moment, Extreme Soma answered.

“I think it probably was.”

We walked there in silence for a while. The experience of going through life and death together gave us great emotional ups and downs. I was really angry when Extreme Soma’s mask was almost cut off.

That was the first time I realized that I had such great feelings for Extreme Soma in my heart. I think it was the same for him too.

Then, Extreme Soma suddenly picked up a tree branch that had fallen on the ground and drew a straight line.

“How far have we come now?”

I took the branch he held out and drew a line along what we previously called the survival line.

“I think we’ve come this far.”

This was the place where they said they would save my life only if I came here.

At that moment I saw

I see him smiling through the eye sockets of his white mask. The way he smiles for real.

He laughed silently, but it wasn’t an angry laugh. Purely and naturally, he just laughed.

I hadn’t seen that smile even in my life before returning, but surprisingly, I saw it at the end of this trip.

“Of course, the line will move depending on what Soma-sama and I do in the future. “We can go further this way, or we can come back to the starting point.”

“What happens when we get to the end?”

“We will become real friends. We eat and drink together. We have fun together and we fight together. If you’re in danger, go to the rescue. Then, if someone dies first, they will sprinkle alcohol on the graveside.”

“It’s all unnecessary, pretentious and burdensome.”

“Sometimes, when you actually do it, it’s not that big of a deal.”

I don’t even want that from Extreme Soma. The initial goal was to get to the point where there were no friends or enemies. At least I think I achieved my goal through this trip.

At that time, Cheongmyeon appeared where we were.

What he brought he gave to Extreme Soma. It was a white mask.

“Now, as promised.”

Extreme Soma gave me the mask that Cheongmyeon brought.

He said he would give me a new mask the day I fought Baek Mang-gi, and he never forgot that promise.

“thank you.”

I tried on a new mask. It was definitely lighter and more comfortable.

“Is it good? “I don’t think I’ll sweat much.”

“Cheongmyeon made it himself. “My mask was also made by Cheongmyeon.”

“Your dexterity is amazing.”

Cheongmyeon slightly bowed his head at my praise.

At that time, two people walked in there.

It was Ian and Chen Hualouju who went to do the makeup. Not only I, but even Geukak Soma and Cheongmyeon were surprised.

Ian, with makeup on, looked like a completely different woman. It was fascinating and sensual. It was intense and gorgeous.

“This warrior is so classy that I tried to create a different atmosphere.”

It literally felt like I was seeing another peerless beauty. Makeup is a woman’s weapon? In that case, we would be watching The World’s Best Sword.

“From now on, I’ll call you a pretty heart, not an ugly heart.”

Even Extreme Soma seems to secretly like Ian’s transformation.

At that time, Tianhuaruju hinted.

“As expected, you’re prettier than when you were young, right?”

Then, Extreme Soma spoke coldly to Ian.

“Be sure to pay back the price of the carriage!”

Meanwhile, through their conversation, Cheongmyeon was truly surprised when he learned that the beautiful woman in front of him was Ian.

“This is this warrior?”

Ian smiled and answered the surprised man.

“Yes, Cheongmyeon. “It’s me.”

“Is this really unmanned?”

He was so surprised that you could tell the expression on his face. He was extremely careful in his actions and reserved words in front of the Extreme Soma, but he even forgot about the situation in front of the Extreme Soma.

Realizing this fact too late, Cheongmyeon stepped back.

At that time, Ian spoke to me carefully.

“Can I wear that mask?”

Considering the gaze she had experienced on the way here, I was able to understand Ian. Because I wasn’t the type of person to enjoy that kind of attention.

“I’m fine, but I have to ask Soma for permission. “Because it was given to me by Soma.”

Ian said to Extreme Soma.

“Can I wear that mask?”

“no!”

Then you can’t see that pretty face, right? I guess he must have felt this way.

“why?”

“The makeup you put so much effort into will come off. “Who did your makeup on?”

It was a very evil Soma who only gave the correct answer until the end. Tianhua Luzhu lightly pinched Extreme Evil Demon’s arm in a good mood. She is probably the only person in the world who can pinpoint Extreme Soma.

“You can use it if you want.”

“thank you.”

Ian was very happy with the permission from Extreme Soma. She took the mask from me and put it on her face.

he asked, looking at me.

“how is it?”

“Whatever. “This is a deception about beauty and a despair for the men of the world.”

“You told me I should be happy, right? “I think I’ll be happier if I have this.”

I went over and put Ian’s mask on his head.

“When we are alone, write comfortably like this. At this time, your mask will be looking at the sky.”

“Is it good?”

Ian asked Cheongmyeon if it was Kim who had already kicked him out.

“Do you happen to be a beauty queen?”

Cheongmyeon couldn’t answer for a moment because he didn’t know what it meant. I guessed what she was trying to say.

“Everything works for you. “I will also destroy the middle class that has been with me for a hundred years.”

“You’re exaggerating!”

“See you later. “Isn’t that so?”

Ian spoke to Cheongmyeon again.

“What I said earlier was a joke. “I would like to appoint you as the first leader of the organization I will create.”

Cheongmyeon was surprised by the unexpected words. When I was hesitating because I didn’t know what to answer, Extreme Soma spoke.

“I gave him a mask as a gift, and the first thing he did after putting it on was try to steal my person.”

“Please don’t misunderstand. Even before receiving the mask, Cheongmyeon was the first candidate.”

“I’m asking you to give up your position as a mazon and come to the position of manager. “Do you know that?”

“yes!”

“Does Cheongmyeon look like such a fool?”

“no. “I thought he was someone who had the courage to throw himself into a new life for once.”

“Courage, a cocky heart, you are the best! “If I see you say that in front of me.”

“I trusted you, Master, and just killed you. sorry.”

She bowed politely to Extreme Soma.

I saw.

The conflict in Cheongmyeon’s eyes. Yes, a man would be conflicted if such a beautiful leader asked him out.

But it occurred to me that this beauty might be disturbed. If it had been Ian before the procedure, he might have gone, but some people don’t want to look like snobs who go because they have become more beautiful.

“Please think about it.”

Cheongmyeon nodded slightly.

Even after seeing that, Extreme Soma didn’t say anything else. Even if Cheongmyeon decided to go, he seemed like the kind of person who would say something stupid and send him off. If I show that, the line drawn in my heart will move further to the right.

Extreme Soma said to me.

“Gongja Lee. “Let’s go back now.”

“Go back first. “I’ll play with my pretty heart for a bit and then go in.”

It wasn’t for me, it was for Ian. I took off my skin and came out, but I have to fly high before I go back in.

Cheonhwaruju saw right through my heart.

“Gongja Lee is a very good person.”

Then Extreme Soma answered.

“Don’t be fooled. Gongja Lee is a villain among villains. Can’t you see that mask? He is a person who has been wearing a mask since birth. “There are two masked people standing there right now.”

Then Tianhuaruju smiled and said.

“So it suits you well.”

As I turned to leave with Ian, I turned back to the evil Soma.

“Thank you so much for showing me this wonderful world. “Please show me again next time.”

Before parting ways, Tianhuaruju said.

“Gongja Lee, please take good care of my brother from now on.”

Originally, Ian would have had to say that he was taking good care of our master. However, Tianhua Luzhu was jokingly but seriously asking for Extreme Evil Soma.

Did she see something in my relationship with Extreme Soma?

At least one thing was certain. There is only one person in this world, Chen Hualouju, who truly cares for and understands him.

I smiled and said it out loud.

“Yes, Luju, I will take good care of Soma from now on.”

Leaving behind the dumbfounded Soma, I turned around, holding Ian’s hand.

“Let’s go, Ian. Let’s go see Jungwon.”

From now on, your world will be completely different from before.
