Absolute Regression

120th Cheonyangmun, not Cheonyangmun.

Ian sent me a message.

-What should I do?

-I’m going to buy you a drink, so do it yourself.

I planned to see how she handled it.

-This is the first time in my life something like this has happened.

-This is my first time watching it from the side.

-Are you really doing what you want?

-sun.

-I really do.

The Bicheon Sword Technique is good and the Im Dok-yang Mac Tatong is good, but the most important weapon that will protect her is experience.

The man introduced himself.

“My name is Goksa (穀思), Somunju of Cheonyangmun (天壤門).”

He was dressed in expensive silk clothes, and his wrists, fingers, and all kinds of expensive jewelry were adorned. Even the fan was encrusted with gorgeous jewels.

“Have you ever heard of the text?”

“no. I haven’t heard of it because my perspective is limited. sorry.”

“No, that can happen.”

In fact, Cheonyangmun was a fairly well-known sect in the vicinity.

Just by looking at his attire, he was a weaver who would make people wonder where his family was, so because she didn’t know, he lost his greatest weapon.

“What makes you a recluse?”

“You wouldn’t know it because it’s a nameless sect located far away in the countryside.”

“Then, please tell me Sojeo’s name.”

“It’s white noodles.”

I answered that way because I was thinking of a white mask. Goksa was a little taken aback by the strange name Baekmyeon, but he soon smiled and said.

“Now Baekmyeon Sojeo. “Shall we move to our seats and talk?”

“That’s a bit awkward. “We are in the middle of a conversation right now.”

Only then did the sergeant look at me. He actually sat down and didn’t even glance at me.

“Who are you, Sohyeop?”

While Ian was hesitating what to introduce, I answered first.

“This is the white-faced lady escort.”

At that moment, the monk’s expression frowned slightly. The meaning was why the guard was wearing sickles, but he was able to see through the person himself with this one reaction.

I sent a message to Ian.

-I will be your escort for today. You’ve been my escort all your life, so it’s okay for a day, right? Enjoy. Because this opportunity doesn’t come around often.

-I really enjoy it.

The howitzer said to Ian.

“I guess you are close with the escort.”

Ian looked at me and said with playful eyes.

“Even if I tell you to live your own life, you won’t leave me.”

The howitzer glared at me. His eyes were just like this. Since your master is beautiful, aren’t you trying to manipulate her somehow?

“I wonder what you have to say with your escort.”

“We talk about all kinds of things.”

“If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to keep your distance from escorts.”

Ian responded to the guide’s words.

“Being attached to a guard means accumulating points by asking him to die for me, right?”

I laughed inwardly. Now she kept repeating everything I had said before.

“What kind of nonsense is that?” said the guide with an expression on his face.

“That’s not why.”

“Then why?”

“If you give your subordinates a chance, they tend to have other thoughts. It’s not good for them either.”

He had a serious expression, but he was wearing all kinds of jewels, so what kind of life experience could he be saying? I felt like it was an act of bravado to look cool in front of women.

“Cute.”

“yes? Ah, that’s right. “There are times when I find it cute when I see subordinates with different thoughts.”

“No, Gok Sohyeop is cute.”

For a moment, the chef was taken aback. I guess I didn’t know that someone would call me cute so openly.

“Okay, buy me a drink. “Please go to the most expensive bar in town and buy me the most expensive drink.”

Ian stood up.

“why? “Did you change your mind when I asked you to buy me an expensive drink?”

“Is that possible? let’s go.”

We left the bar. Ian was acting differently than I expected. I didn’t know she would so willingly allow drinking.

After a while, we settled into a special room in the most expensive bar in town.

“Gok Sohyeop. When I play, I invite all my friends. Invite both men and women to play together. why? “Don’t you have any friends?”

The monk’s face turned slightly red.

“The only thing you can trust in Moorim is yourself.”

He seems to have been trained this way since he was young. Don’t trust anyone.

“It looks like you don’t have any friends. “Then I guess I’ll have to play our lonely song as Sohyup’s friend.”

Ian was leading this potentially depressing situation with his unique cheerfulness. The atmosphere became infinitely brighter and she was truly enjoying the occasion. It felt like this.

Want to have a drink? Okay, what’s there that you can’t drink? Let’s have fun, let’s have fun!

Meanwhile, a sumptuous feast was prepared. As you can see from his outfit, the only thing he had was money, and it was his German martial arts skills.

“One bottle of alcohol costs over 50 nyang.”

Ian made a fuss at the howler’s bravado.

“This is my first time drinking alcohol this expensive! Now, I will drink it gratefully. Oh, I’ll give my escort a drink too.”

Ian poured him a drink without waiting for his answer.

“Please get a glass of Sword Escort. “It’s a very expensive drink, so don’t leave anything behind.”

“Before that, let me do a quick inspection.”

I took out a silver needle and inspected each drink and dish. Of course, the craftsman made all kinds of facial expressions, but Ian smiled and said to him.

“Gok Sohyeop, you don’t play with food and do things like that, right? Then get scolded! “I’m really scolded.”

“How can you report me! “Even if you don’t do that, women will be lining up.”

Then Ian laughed bitterly. It was a charming smile that could ease even the hearts of enemies.

“I thought so. Come on, let’s have a drink.”

The three of us toasted. Ian expressed regret after emptying his glass.

“It’s a shame that we drink such good wine only to ourselves. “The escorts outside!”

This time she called the howitzer’s escorts outside. Four escorts entered the room.

“Would you like to drink with the Gok Sohyeop people?”

Suddenly, the knight made a disapproving expression.

One of the four escorts stepped forward.

“We are fine. “You must protect the master.”

Ian told him.

“Are you really being protected outside there?”

The guard could not say anything at the meaningful words. Because all this time, I was just watching the drinking party of a maniac who seduces women for money.

Soon, Ian gently persuaded Goksa.

“Don’t attach great significance to this matter. Just having a drink together. Please sit down.”

The guards watched the howler.

When Ian looked slightly disappointed, the howitzer could not hold out any longer. When the howitzer nodded, the four people sat down.

“Now, please take a drink from me.”

She poured them drinks. Maybe Ian feels affectionate toward them. Because it was the same escort.

“Let’s all have a drink together!”

She raised her glass high and we toasted.

“Wow, the drink tastes good.” Gok Sohyeop, please order more alcohol! Oh, it’s too expensive, right?”

“What! “Do whatever you want.”

Beauty overwhelmed everything.

With Ian’s unique cheerfulness and vitality added to it, nothing could stop her.

I never imagined that such an atmosphere would be created with these people.

She was unstoppable. Because there was no prejudice against the other person, no one felt emotional discomfort.

I knew it wasn’t just because I was next to him.

Again, it was because of confidence in my abilities. Im Dok-yangmaek’s batong would have given her confidence even more strength.

We drank and talked about all kinds of things. Even the escorts, who were extremely reticent at first, answered questions one by one, and things that even the commander did not know were revealed.

“You gave birth to a son ten days ago? Oh congratulations!”

Of course, Ian didn’t question Goksa, who he probably didn’t know about. Instead, it created an atmosphere for everyone.

“Now, our Confucius, here comes a gift! gift! gift!”

I was amazed by her. It allows you to celebrate without making the pilot feel bad. Honestly, I thought this at this moment. You’re better than me.

The warrior had never given a gift to his guards before, so he didn’t know what to do.

Ian spoke calmly to him.

“There are people I know who like to draw lines.”

She took chopsticks, dipped her drink, and drew a line on the table.

“This is when I was hired and this is the end. If you reach the end, you can die for your employer. I will go till the end? It’s really not easy. But the escorts hope so. May your relationship with the person you are trying to protect come to an end. Even though coming here means you will die. “Those are the escorts here.”

The four guards were slightly enraged by her calm words. Those words were also said to me. That’s who I am.

“You know a lot about escort drones.”

A question came from the mouth of one of the escorts.

“I experienced it when I was young.”

At that time, the howitzer glared at the escort. The look in his eyes asked where he was coming from. The escort who came out cowered and lowered his head.

Ian spoke softly to the knight.

“When you look at people with those eyes, the lines go in the opposite direction.”

“I don’t believe it. That someone can purely sacrifice their life for someone else. Do you believe Sozer?”

Ian nodded and held out his glass.

“Try to trust Gok Sohyeop too.”

“I believed it, but then I got stabbed in the back.”

“Wouldn’t it be right if I don’t believe it?”

“!”

“We often associate betrayal with trust. But that is the position of the betrayed side. I trusted you this much, but you betrayed me! But the person who betrays doesn’t betray because the other person doesn’t trust them, right? It’s mostly for other reasons, right? Whether it’s money, power, or your personal life. I’ve never seen it before. What if my master betrayed me because he didn’t trust me? It’s an excuse to use later. You betrayed me because you didn’t trust me. So, you can trust it! “Betrayal is a different matter anyway!”

“Sophistry!”

“Let’s have a drink for today’s sophistry!”

Goksa could not refuse the drink offered by Ian.

He was drunk, but Ian was pretending to be drunk.

I saw. She is releasing alcohol through her fingertips from time to time. Even though it seemed like she was just having fun, she was careful. Perfect Ian!

―When did you learn it? How to expel cycle?

-I learned it when I was young. I just couldn’t do it because I wasn’t good enough until now. Oh, it’s a waste. This expensive alcohol!

She exclaimed that she remembered it too late.

“Oh right. Baby gift! gift! “Give me a gift!”

As she shouted in excitement, the howitzer took out a war bag from his arms.

“many! many! many!”

In the end, a fairly large sum came out of the bank account.

“it’s okay.”

“Take it. “At least buy the child some clothes.”

“thank you.”

Looking at him, Ian gave a thumbs up.

“Gok Sohyeop! it’s awesome!”

“It’s no big deal.”

For no reason, Goksa’s face turned red.

Thanks to this, the atmosphere got better and we drank all night long. It was our first time seeing each other, but we talked about many things. It was the first drinking party for the howitzers and escorts.

Ian set the mood and everyone fell into the fun of this drinking party as if they were getting wet in a light rain. We stayed up all night talking about all kinds of trivial things. We talked about martial arts, talking about making money, and talking about family.

Ian, who was leading the group, treated everyone with sincerity, so everyone showed their sincerity without realizing it. We had a great time drinking to the point where we couldn’t bear to say goodbye.

“The next time I come to this village, I will visit Cheoncheon Gate first.”

“It’s not Cheonsamun, it’s Cheonyangmun.”

“Ah, our Tianyang Gate Gok Sohyeop. I definitely remembered it. “Gok Sohyeop are our drinking buddies from today.”

Goksa could not hide his joy when he was told that he would be his drinking buddy from today. Maybe when he first approached me today, he started with the intention of sleeping with Ian at all costs. But now he was moved by the term “drinking buddy.”

“And you can’t go around flirting with random women until we see each other again! I also do martial arts training. See you again in great form. “Okay?”

“I understand.”

Surprisingly, the knight was nodding his head. Even though I didn’t know, I felt like things would change starting today. He even gave me pocket money.

“Take care of yourselves, young lady.”

“thank you.”

Ah, the governor won’t know. How much I am amazed at this moment. It wasn’t admiration for Goksa, but for Ian. In one night, five men fell in love with her charm. Honestly, it’s six. Because I really admired her too.

So we left there. The howitzers and escort soldiers watching us from a distance were sad to say goodbye.

“Actually, I was worried about you at first.”

“Me? why?”

“I’m afraid of being deceived and manipulated by men. I’m afraid I might get excited and cause an accident. “I’m afraid of being disappointed and hurt by men.”

When they first show up, they end up getting beat up by the sharpshooter or they fight harder and die. I thought that would happen.

But it ended in a situation I never expected. If you take him to Hwangcheongak, scare him, and beat him up, will the howitzer turn like that? It feels like the sun has taken off the outer layer that the wind could not take off.

“So?”

“Now I have the opposite worry.”

“What concerns?”

“Worry about the men. If I send you away, all the men in Murim will be gone. They waste all their money and go crazy with training just to show off their strength. “I got lovesickness.”

Ian burst out laughing.

“You know, right? “How many tails do I have?”

When I saw her today, I felt like I had to give her the Bicheon Sword Technique. The stronger she gets, the more attractive she will become.

“Where do we go now?”

“When I meet a guy like Goksa, we hang out together and buy delicious food. Enjoy the spectacular scenery along the way. And I also went to see the wedding.”

“Whose wedding?”

“there is. “I’m thinking about whether to stop the wedding or not.”

“Why are you stopping someone else’s wedding?”

“yes?”

“This will be fun! I’ve never really been to a wedding before!”

Excited, she ran forward.

Thinking that the image of her running toward the rising sun in the distance was like a painting, I slowly absorbed myself into the painting.
