chapter 1123 - Rumors in the Storm (3)
When I was making a big decision for the future of the title hero and heroine and thinking about how to do it, there was a knock on the door.
I was busy right now, so if a white tiger came to disturb me, I was going to chase him away.
However, what appeared when I opened the door was someone I couldn’t treat lightly.
The kind black tiger and Olmu came to see me together.
“Please come eat.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
I had no appetite and wanted to organize my thoughts a bit more, but I ended up answering without realizing it.
It was inevitable.
The black tiger must have just regained his presence and wanted to spend time with his friends, but he came all the way here, calling me.
I couldn’t ignore the kind words of such a kind child, and even the angel Olmu was looking at me with an expectant face.
King!
It was impossible to resist any longer when he reached out his arms in a genius way to ask for a hug.
I held Olmu in one hand and walked with Heukho’s hand in the other.
They were both so small and warm that it felt like the pain I had accumulated from the text and comments I saw through the hologram was melting away.
“It was a good thing I removed the white tiger in front of the door and sent Heukho and Shinsoo.”
“Olmoo was closer to Uisin than you. Since when have Uisin and Olmu been so close?”
“Shinsoo has followed Jo Uisin well from the beginning.”
“That’s befitting of a noble family’s Shinsoo. He has eyes to see.”
Hwang Jiho and Cheongho talked about me and the angel since morning.
Regardless of whether I had eyes to see or not, if the angel had chosen me, I would have been just happy and grateful.
However, there was a fragment of memory that dug into my happy heart like a knife.
Among the texts I read this morning, there was a part that linked the angel to the nonsense about Andain’s relationship being real!
Since Olmu’s photos were frequently posted on Andain’s SNS account and I was seen walking with an angel, ridiculous rumors were created using this.
Olmu was just an angel and a genius who followed Andain well, but he was described as if he and Andain were secretly raising a pet together.
“Olmoo follows me well too.”
Why did he suddenly say something like that?
The white tiger spoke as if bragging, but no one answered.
The kind black tiger noticed and said, “We’re getting closer now!”
Hwang Ji-ho looked at the white tiger with a cold face and said.
“The guardian deity of the noble clan has been famous for its difficult temperament since ancient times. It was sensitive to favors and picky in taste. It has become somewhat gentle in modern times.”
Krrrr.
Hwang Ji-ho reached out and tried to pat the angel in my arms, but Olmu immediately showed his teeth.
The genius warrior was smart enough to refuse even the leader of a clan if he didn’t like it.
Since Olmu had not liked Hwang Ji-ho that much since before, it was clear that he didn’t follow anyone just because he was a clan.
Hwang Ji-ho pointed to the fangs that showed his genius and said smugly.
“Look, Jo Ui-shin! Have you seen how picky Shin-su is?”
I’ve known for a long time that the angel was a genius, but I don’t know what to do.
Seeing him talking about something so obvious as if it was some great discovery in the morning really worried me about his health.
Could it be that he was still tired?
I said with a purely worried heart.
“Take the elixir quickly.”
“Jo Ui-shin…….”
King!
Hwang Ji-ho was disappointed because I had been worried for a long time, but Olmu encouraged him like a genius.
While Cheong-ho was looking at Hwang Ji-ho with a pitiful face, the white tiger suddenly turned its head toward the front door.
Then, as promised, the tigers except for Heuk-ho all looked at one place.
Heuk-ho looked in that direction, imitating the other tigers, and the front door opened.
With the sound of rain, ‘Ss ... Kim Shin-rok, who was standing next to him, seemed to be tired and didn’t seem to be very happy with his only friend.
He must have been tired because he had fully experienced the heavy love between Jeok-ho and Woong-nyeo, and his close friend Yoo Hee-gye teased him about Kim Shin-rok’s reaction.
“Yong Je-geon, did you really stay in the red brick annex the whole time?”
“I wanted to, but Shin-rok gave me a pillow filled with pressure instead of cotton, so I just left. Shin-rok happened to have a separate room in the main building, so I slept there.”
“Not my room, but the guest room…….”
“Your room. Let’s go eat breakfast.”
Kim Shin-rok tried to say something, but Hwang Ji-ho cut him off and retorted.
As they headed to the restaurant, Eun-ho, wearing an X-shaped apron, was setting the table.
The table was lined up with dishes according to the number of people present, and Yong Je-geon was also expected to come, so he had his share in the farthest corner.
“Hwang Ho-nim is tired, and Eui-shin-hyung is worried, so I prepared this morning.”
It seemed like some of the automatic maids helped, but the main dish seemed to have been made by Eun-ho himself.
The dish that Eun-ho put the most effort into was the seaweed soup with chadolbagi.
Yong Je-geon, seeing the seaweed soup, seemed to remember something and spoke with a bright face.
“Seaweed soup? Does it have something to do with Je-ho’s 100th day party? I was invited to it, but it ended up not happening, so I was disappointed.”
“Yes, Jeok-ho-nim and Woong-nyeo-nim will prepare a more elaborate dish on the day, so I’m going to take care of it now. I also wanted to take care of Je-ho’s 100th day party.”
Kim Shin-rok’s 100th day party… … .
There may have been such a tradition thousands of years ago, when Kim Shin-rok was 100 days old, but since he wanted to celebrate it then and still wants to celebrate it now, there shouldn’t be a big problem.
There was nothing to worry about except Kim Shin-rok’s complicated feelings about being over 5,000 years old and receiving a 100th-day meal.
“Modern 100th-day meals include seaweed soup and rice cakes. I’ve already ordered red bean rice cakes and white rice cakes from the damn rabbits.”
“Really? I want to eat the rice cakes Toyeon made. Order a lot! I want to see Toyeon too!”
“Of course, Heukho. I’ll prepare plenty. But it’s a bit annoying to call Oktoyeon.”
Hwang Ji-ho, like a rice cake lover, seemed unwilling to leave rice cakes out of the 100th-day meal, and Heukho was very happy.
Although Hwang Ji-ho showed that he wasn’t happy about calling Oktoyeon, he seemed to call her in the end because Heukho wanted to see her.
After that, the tigers and Yong Je-geon were very excited about the Baekilsang story.
Kim Shin-rok, who was the person involved, reacted here and there with a blank expression, but Yong Je-geon teased him without missing a single reaction.
Cheong-ho, who couldn't stand it any longer, said a word.
"Yong Je-geon, tease Je-ho appropriately."
Han-i, no, Cheong-ho said that, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
First of all, Yong Je-geon is a burden, and Kim Shin-rok is the homeroom teacher of the next class.
Yong Je-geon also felt this new, and he looked at Cheong-ho and smiled before saying,
"I've been waiting for a very long time to tease Je-ho with this topic. I'm going to keep teasing him."
He openly declared in front of the tigers that he would continue teasing the precious descendant of the noble family.
It seems that Yong Je-geon has nothing to fear anymore.
The tigers were dumbfounded by the words that they would continue teasing him, but their expressions crumpled as if something had caught them off guard by Yong Je-geon's words.
Hwang Ji-ho asked.
“You waited a long time? Did you guess Ungnyeo’s true intentions all along?”
“Of course, you’ll know if you watch Ungnyeo. You don’t see her often, but if you know her for thousands of years, you’ll see her more often than not.”
The tigers seemed to be thinking, ‘You knew that but you pretended not to know?’ but no one opened their mouths.
If Yong Je-geon had said to the tigers that ‘Ungnyeo wouldn’t have betrayed her,’ it was obvious what would have happened.
Even if it didn’t go as far as confronting the dragon tribe, it would have been difficult for Yong Je-geon to be a teacher at Eun Gwang High School.
It’s not something I should say since I dealt with Ungnyeo, but Yong Je-geon has been risking his life in a tug-of-war for a long time.
Eun-ho looked at Yong Je-geon quietly and smiled.
“There’s nothing we can do about what’s past. What’s important is what we have to do in the future.”
Was it because of the overlapping blessings?
Even though Yongjegeon was so violent, Hojok was relatively lenient.
However, Kim Shin-rok, who was upset, tried to stick an unused chopstick into Yongjegeon's ear, but it failed.
"I plan to convey the correct history to the world soon. Starting with the existence of Heukho, I plan to reveal the Ungnyeo case as well."
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
"Do you think Red Tiger and Ungnyeo can be promoted from the Jeonseokseok to the Shinhwaseok again?"
"Ungnyeo can. I don't know about Red Tiger. The debuff from Cheonshin still remains, and regardless of the process, it is true that Red Tiger broke Hosin Gun."
Kim Shin-rok's face darkened noticeably as he received new chopsticks from Eunho.
He was ashamed of the feud between Hojok and Ungjok, so he did not actively reveal the history between them.
However, if the existence of the Black Tiger is made known, the secret story of the Gaecheon myth will naturally spread, and the fact that the Red Tiger destroyed the Hosin Gun will also be widely spread.
If you look at the circumstances, there are some who sympathize with him, and even though he participated in the war and earned merits, and received heavy punishment alone for thousands of years, there will still be those who cannot accept it.
‘The Red Tiger will not turn away from his sins.’
Just like he voluntarily confessed his sins and was tied up in a red frame.
Now that Kim Shin-rok and Ungnyeo are by his side, he will bear the sins with a stronger heart.
“Shin-rok will help them get their rights restored, right?”
“Don’t say obvious things.”
“You couldn’t say those obvious things for thousands of years.”
Even in the midst of all this, Yong Je-geon enjoyed teasing Kim Shin-rok.
Still, it was thanks to Yong Je-geon that he was able to say things he couldn’t say before.
That's why the tigers feed and let Yongjegeon sleep in the tiger mansion even though he's been squirming.
While eating a red plum galette with tea for dessert, Hwang Jiho suddenly said.
"I just received a report from my subordinate through my clone. I searched the hideout and the surrounding area that Ungnyeo mentioned, but I couldn't find a single bear."
They said they wouldn't find one.
As expected, it was a frustrating report when I actually heard it.
There were three bears whose whereabouts were unknown.
The Bear of Eui-Gwi, the Bear of Greed, and the Bear of Joy.
Considering that the White Tiger had immediately checked that day and they disappeared, it didn’t seem like the Bear of Eui-Gwi had recovered and escaped the area on his own.
‘It’s almost ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ certain that the Bear of Greed took the Bear of Eui-Gwi. But where did the Bear of Joy go?’
The Bear of Joy was said to have maintained neutrality amidst the conflict within the Jinwoong Palseon.
Furthermore, when I heard the conversation between the Jinwoong Palseon, the Bear of Joy seemed to care quite a bit about them.
If I were in the same position as the Bear of Joy, how would I have acted?
‘The Bear of Joy would have tried to find the Jinwoong Palseon whose whereabouts were unknown.’
Dingdong.
At that moment, a message arrived.
When I asked for understanding and read the content, I thought it was an advertisement message, but it was actually true.
[Rubowon] Our team is performing at the peak!
[Rubowon] Please come see us! \(^0^)/
They had to rent Hoyeon Hall during the typhoon season.
If it was a Kwon Jae-in concert, not many people would brave the storm to see a foreign student’s shadow play.
I could have made up an excuse about the typhoon and not gone, but I really wanted to go.
The ability to manipulate shadows was rare, and it wasn’t common to have a chance to talk to a player who could manipulate them so well.
‘Maybe I can get a clue to find the shadow that disappeared from the Korean Peninsula.’
I replied to Rubowon that I would go, thinking about the existence of Yeong-in.
