Absolute Regression

Episode 125 Hey, you’re a man.

Seo Dae-ryong was watering the flowers in a flower pot in Hwangcheongakju’s office.

“Lee In-ja, when will Gakju return?”

He was the one who called the flower in the pot that Ilhwa Geomjon had entrusted to him as Lee In-ja. The nickname originated from a joke that he was the third most important person in the office.

“Take me with you too. “Why are you having so much fun without me that there’s no news?”

Without sword dance and Ian, I definitely felt like the fun of life had been cut in half.

I stopped drinking with Jangho regularly starting last month. I put it off to get it after Ian returns. Honestly, it needed to be fun with the three of us. It felt complete only with the three of them.

“joy! From now on, you will be the leader. From today, I am second in command. “We who have been abandoned, let’s eat it all!”

In fact, I had already finished eating it. Seo Dae-ryong was in charge of most of the main tasks of Hwangcheongak. Although there were seniors, I knew that Seo Dae-ryong was the person who supported Geomugeuk the most, so he naturally became the acting head. And Seo Dae-ryong handled the task better than anyone else.

The period when sword dance was absent was the period when he grew up and received full recognition.

In addition, he never missed a day learning Taoism from Hyeolcheon Doma.

Hyeolcheondoma never spoke about sword dance. It seemed as if he thought that mentioning the sword dance would reveal that he missed him.

Even when Seo Dae-ryong talked about sword dance, he pretended not to hear and said nothing.

‘Master, I think that’s even weirder.’

As I was standing at the window, losing my longing for the sword dance and Ian, the executioner opened the door and came in.

“I’m ready.”

“Let’s go.”

Dear Gakju, who doesn’t know where you are or what you’re doing, I’m going to work again.

There were ten executioners waiting outside the building. Since there were usually two execution agents per investigator, just looking at the number of ten people made it clear that today’s operation was very important and dangerous.

“Have you finished wearing the white tiger armor?”

“Yes, I wore it.”

Baekho-gap was a supply clothing provided to executioners. Although it cannot be compared to a real sword, it was still effective in blocking ordinary swords.

“let’s go. “You need to be alert because a collision may occur.”

The place where the executioners arrived was Daechwirim (大醉林), where Daechwima resided.

Thatchuma.

As one of the Palmazons, he was always drunk, so they called him Drunk. There were several rumors related to him.

Some said that the reason he was always drunk was because he had suffered a huge emotional wound, and there were also rumors that it was because his German martial arts skills took advantage of his intoxication. Anyway, one thing was certain: the more he got drunk, the stronger he became.

The warriors who followed him were called drunkards, and they were also drunkards who liked and drank well.

The gates of Daechwirim were tightly closed.

When the executioner knocked on the door, the drunk man guarding the entrance opened the door and appeared.

“Who are you?”

“I came out of Hwangcheon Pavilion. Please open the door.”

“What brings you here?”

Seo Dae-ryong held up the documents he brought and showed them.

“I came to arrest the drunkard Doho.”

A man named Do-ho was drunk and drove a carriage into the street, killing two people and injuring more than ten. Afterwards, he abandoned the carriage and ran away.

The drunkard answered without hesitation.

“Doho is not here. “Go back.”

“How do you know? “I wonder if there is a Doho in that wide Daechwi Forest.”

“If it isn’t there, just pretend it isn’t there and go back.”

The drunk customer immediately closed the door and went in.

I was somewhat prepared for it to come out like this anyway. When Mazon’s subordinates listen to him obediently, they seem to feel weaker than other Mazon. Since one person didn’t listen, everyone else stopped listening.

In particular, as the absence of sword dance has been prolonged, the authority of the Hwangcheongak dancers has begun to not work well.

“Give them a warning and then break down the door.”

“yes.”

An executive officer stepped forward and issued a warning with his inner strength.

“If you don’t open before the ten count, I will break down the door and enter. One two three four… nine ten.”

The moment when I was about to break down the door.

Sigh.

The door opened and someone appeared. The drunk was different from the drunk who came out earlier. He was Ho Yang, the person in charge of the drunkards guarding the entrance.

Hoyang said while glaring at Seo Daeryong.

“Do you think you will be safe even if you invade the main forest?”

“A drunkard named Doho committed a crime. It’s not something to cover up blindly. “Just give me the sword and I’ll go back.”

“There is no Taoho.”

“Please do not ignore our information network. Because there is certain information that Doho returned here. “If it turns out that he is here, you too will be guilty of harboring a criminal. Is that okay?”

At that moment, Hoyang unleashed cold demon energy.

As befits the person in charge of the drunk customers working today, his spirit was sharp. I was confident that I could at least make the Hwangcheongak inspector take a step back, but Seo Dae-ryong did not back down.

Rather, Seo Daeryong’s momentum overwhelmed Hoyang. It was the result of learning Taoism from Hyeolcheon Doma every single day and training consistently.

Just as Hoyang was backing away without realizing it, a fierce-looking middle-aged man walked out of Daechwirim.

match!

The man mercilessly slapped Hoyang on the cheek.

“You idiot! “I’m being pushed out by investigators like that.”

Hoyang, who had fallen out, got up and lowered his head.

“sorry!”

The man who came out was Gu Ma-yeong (俱瑪英), one of the three major drunkards of Daechwirim and known for his foul temper. His notoriety was widely known. It was said that he had a hot-headed personality and would take the initiative without thinking about what happened next.

Seo Dae-ryong, who recognized who the opponent was, frowned.

‘Of course.’

Gu Ma-yeong walked out in front of Seo Dae-ryong, reeking of alcohol.

“Why are you trying to ruin the taste of alcohol?”

“A man named Doho here was drunk and caused an accident while driving a carriage.”

“It’s natural for drunk people to be drunk, and accidents can happen when driving a carriage, so why do they come in droves and make a fuss?”

“It is a law that even if you are drunk, you cannot drive a carriage while drunk.”

“It’s terrible. “Do you follow all the laws?”

“At least you don’t drink and drive a carriage and kill people.”

Gu Ma-yeong put his face towards Seo Dae-ryong. Seo Dae-ryong frowned at the strong smell of alcohol.

“Look straight at me.”

Seo Dae-ryong did not avoid his gaze.

“Go back, find the right guy, and let him drive the carriage. Look in my eyes. okay?”

“You can’t do that.”

“what? Say it again.”

“I said I couldn’t do that. If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll arrest you too.”

Gu Ma-young’s expression distorted and she took out the liquor bottle she was wearing around her waist.

He raised it high to pour it on Seo Dae-ryong’s head.

The hands of the executioners behind them all grasped the handles of their swords.

As soon as the order was given, he was ready to run and do everything in his power.

Gu Ma-yeong’s gaze turned towards the executioners.

“If you want to get away with it, pull out that sword.”

The drunks behind Gu Ma-yeong also prepared themselves to draw military flags.

In an imminent situation, Seo Dae-ryong raised his hand to stop the executioners. It would have been unacceptable if there had been a stabbing here.

That’s right, at the very moment when Gu Ma-yeong was about to pour alcohol on Seo Dae-ryong’s head while laughing.

A soft warning came from somewhere.

“If you pour that drink, I will cut off your wrist, fill the bottle with your blood, and pour it on your head.”

Seo Dae-ryong’s expression brightened as he confirmed whose voice it was.

“Sir!”

When Seo Dae-ryong turned around, Geommugeuk was walking towards him.

“My babies are having a hard time.”

At his appearance, Seo Dae-ryong and the executioners welcomed him with great joy.

“Welcome, Mr. Gakju!”

“Sir!”

“Welcome back.”

Everyone welcomed the sword dance performance to the point where I thought there would never be a leader who would receive such a warm welcome.

After greeting them, Geommugeuk walked towards Gu Ma-young.

“Did your Majon teach you to throw alcohol on people’s heads?”

When Daechwima was mentioned, a murderous look appeared in Gu Mayoung’s eyes.

But the momentum of the sword dance overwhelmed him. Even though he didn’t unleash his demon energy, he was able to trap Gu Ma Young with just his momentum. Gu Ma-young’s entire body stood on end with fear.

‘Lee Gongja’s prayers were like this?’

Gu Ma-yeong felt like she had completely sobered up. I was a scientist who had only heard rumors about this and that, but meeting him in person gave me a completely different pressure.

“And to think of pouring alcohol on the head of the Hwangcheongak investigator. Where did you come out of the closed training camp? Didn’t you hear the rumor about me? Or did you think that I would just leave and never come back?”

Gu Ma-young only glared at Geommugeuk menacingly and did not dare to make an excuse. When I first heard the rumor that the demon lord had been killed, I thought it was ridiculous. I thought the rumors were exaggerated because he was just the heir, but I thought it was really true.

“Go in…”

Geommugeuk asked, looking back at Seo Dae-ryong.

“Who?”

“This is Doho.”

Geommugeuk spoke to Gu Ma-yeong again.

“Did you hear? Bring that guy named Doho. right now!”

Gu Ma-young did not move with a distorted expression.

Geommugeuk pulled out the black magic sword without hesitation. The hearts of the drunkards there shrank coldly at the anticipation emanating from the sword.

“You may be a drunkard, but I am a crazy person.”

When Geommugeuk took a step forward, Gu Mayoung could not hold on any longer.

“I’ll bring you out!”

Gu Ma-young went inside.

I deliberately treated Gu Ma-yeong roughly. It was for the morale of Seo Dae-ryong and the executioners. Today’s incident will become a rumor throughout the school, and in the future, no one will dare to do something like this without me.

Seo Dae-ryong and the executioners gathered towards me.

“When did you come?”

“Just. “I was about to change my clothes and go see my father, but I heard you were here so I stopped by on the way to Cheonmajeon.”

Seo Dae-ryong was so moved that he even shed tears.

“Is it that good?”

“I also didn’t know it would be this good for you to come back.”

“Isn’t it good to avoid being insulted by a drunkard?”

“When I smelled it earlier, I noticed that his drink was expensive. When will you ever drink something like that for a bakbon? “You should at least taste the alcohol flowing down your face.”

Geommugeuk smiled while looking at Seo Dae-ryong. While I wasn’t watching, Seo Dae-ryong had grown even more. Not only did he have martial arts skills and momentum, but he also had composure. You have to be calm like this when dealing with someone like Gu Ma-young.

“Does this mean I have to be expelled from school often?”

“Please don’t do that! “I thought I was going to die of boredom because Lord Gakju wasn’t there.”

The executioners laughed at Seo Dae-ryong’s words. It felt good to see them again. I didn’t know it when we were together, but it was great to see you again after we broke up.

Meanwhile, the door opened again and Gu Ma-yeong dragged Do-ho out. His face was burst and blood was flowing out. It seems that Gu Ma-yeong’s anger went to the guy.

“Arrest!”

The executioners arrested Doho.

Gu Ma-yeong glared at Geommugeuk menacingly, as if trying to show his last pride.

On the other hand, Geomgeuk spoke in a softer tone than before.

“I’m not going to stop you from drinking because you’re a drunk. Instead, drink it without causing harm to others. “Thank you for your cooperation.”

You can’t just push a beast like this around. This is because in the end, it causes great harm to someone and destroys itself.

If you have broken your pride in front of your subordinates, it is a good way to maintain a relationship by slightly flattening it.

“Let’s have a drink next time.” “I will buy it.”

Gu Ma-yeong just snorted at Geommugeuk’s words and went inside.

The executioners returned to Hwangcheongak with Doho, and Geommugeuk and Seo Daeryong slowly walked towards Cheonmajeon.

“Are you hurt anywhere after going out this time?”

“There is none.”

“Fortunately, the. “I was very worried when I heard that Extreme Soma returned alone.”

“Are you afraid he killed me and came back alone?”

“At that time, I really wanted to go to Akingok and ask.”

“Then there must have been another investigator here today.”

“That’s why I didn’t go. Now that Mr. Gakju is here, I will take a few days off.”

“I will tell old man Thomas. “My beloved student even took a vacation and completed preparations for hell training.”

“…What kind of vacation is it? “I have to work.”

“yes? “It’s been a long time since I came out, so where should I go?”

I looked at Seo Dae-ryong and smiled. After joking with him, I felt like I was really back at my school.

“Huh!”

At that moment, Seo Dae-ryong stopped and whispered.

“Northwest. “Pretend you don’t see it.”

There stood a woman who immediately caught his eye.

“Was there a beauty like that in our school? No, how can someone have a body like that? iced coffee! “It must have come down from heaven.”

“Do you like it?”

“Who wouldn’t listen?”

“Do you want to meet me?”

“Ugh, I don’t think I can even make eye contact. yes? What did you just say? Want to meet him? how?”

“You came with me this time.”

“yes? yes?”

Seo Dae-ryong looked at the sword dance in surprise. Then he quickly shook his head.

“Hey, don’t lie.”

“Really. “He’s close to me.”

“Mr. Gakju knows such a beauty? Are you close? “What are you bragging about between us? Now I see that Gakju is also a man.”

Geommugeuk beckoned the woman.

Then the woman began to walk lightly towards where the two people were standing.
