Episode 49

Brilliant sunlight stings my eyes through the curtains.

The warm yet harsh sunlight. It was a sign that morning was approaching.

“Hmm…”

Of course, that’s none of my business.

Whether the sun goes down or rises, if you’re tired, go to sleep. Waking up in the morning is definitely madness.

‘I’m perfectly normal… um…”

She pulled a blanket over her head to block out the sunlight.

I was able to sleep comfortably as I tossed and turned my body to achieve the perfect posture.

-Tiriling!

If it wasn’t for this damn notification sound.

-Tiriling!

“Mistress, what is it…”

Did I even set an alarm? Probably not.

I struggled to get up and get out of bed.

-Kwook

[Ugh… what is it.]

“Ah, a mistake. I stepped on it without knowing it was there.”

Is he sleeping on the floor?

Hellion, who had been sleeping on the bed until yesterday, was lying on the floor.

[It hurts… Hurry up and pass…]

“Sorry. Sorry. Sleep more. Why are you sleeping on the floor?”

[What are you talking about?]

Hearing my words, Hellion looks around.

He scratched the floor he was lying on and frowned.

[Is it the work of the intruder? I dare to take this body…]

“No, so get up on the bed.”

[I am tired and have no strength. Please carry me on my back.]

“No. Go up alone.”

It seems that Hellion’s childishness has gotten worse lately.

I’ll have to be a bit more restrained in the future.

[Hae-beom-beom… Ha-beom-beom-beom… I beg you… Hurry up…]

Passing by the begging Hellion, I headed towards the sofa where the cell phone was placed.

The culprit behind the notification was also not me. It was the work of someone unknown to me.

I checked messenger.

[Teacher. It is said that the cadet is Na Tae-san, who is subordinate to Naeun-sol.]

[I have something to say to you in return, but do you have time?]

“Na Tae-san? Oh, that’s right.”

Yesterday’s Naeun Sol’s words came to mind.

You said you would contact me soon for reciprocation, so soon? He’s a very quick-tempered man.

I sent a message with an affirmative reply.

And after a short turn, Natae-san sent a reply.

[Sorry for this early morning. If it’s not rude, is it okay to call?]

Like Ma Seong-yong and Natae-san, why are middle-aged men impatient because they can’t talk on the phone?

It can’t be solved with just a message.

I kept that dissatisfaction in my heart and made a phone call.

– Do you want to become a Cheon Hae-beom teacher?

“you’re right.”

-Thank you for giving us your valuable time. And thank you for saving my daughter…

For a while, time was taken up by talking about similar things.

I sneakily noticed that we should get to the point.

[Yes. As you know, the reason I contacted you is to pay the return.]

“Even if it’s a return, I don’t deserve it.”

Like Naeun Sol, this man also had a big misunderstanding.

Had I not stepped forward, Naeun Sol would never have died.

‘The father and daughter are completely different.’

[You have nothing to say. My family is the type that can’t live without debt.]

If that’s the case, then I can’t refuse again. Not a hog either.

“Um. I see. But-“

[what? what did you say marine criminal.]

“Shh. You’re on the phone.”

[…… It’s sad.]

The call went on again.

“How is the return?”

How much value is the return?

It was expected.

Haesung Group is Korea’s best in terms of capital.

The wealth of Na Tae-san, the chairman of the place, will be enormous beyond estimation, and Bepo will be correspondingly large.

I stayed calm and waited for Na Tae-san to speak.

[Teacher. You must have heard of the Blue Moon.]

If you don’t know that, you’re a spy.

Except for the black market, Blue Moon has the highest name value among official auction houses.

It is an auction house that you cannot easily participate in because it is held on the day of the full moon only twice a month.

That’s why Na Tae-san didn’t pay me an expensive return.

‘Only a Blue Moon Pass? It’s unexpectedly small.’

At Nataesan’s words that followed, my perception turned 180 degrees.

[I will transfer Blue Moon’s VVIP membership for one day.]

VVIP membership?

“…… That means Son.”

[Yes. Even the teacher knows. You are the one who thinks.]

There is no such thing as a VVIP at the Blue Moon Auction House.

In an equal position, only the amount of money can be judged and the item can be obtained.

However, the VVIP membership that Na Tae-san gave out.

I knew very well what that meant.

A black market secretly hosted by Blue Moon. Moon in Twilight.

The place called the moon in the twilight is a secret black market that only those in the know know about.

‘Well.’

It means that even Na Tae-san, a VVIP member, is taking a very big risk to spill this information to me.

‘I’m a dog.’

And nothing to worry about.

Natae-san did not mention the name as it was, but only hinted at it.

Nataesan seemed to think so too.

[Whoa. Contrary to my worries, things seem to go smoothly.]

I spoke seriously without revealing my excitement.

“okay.”

[All thanks to the teacher. Then I’ll send someone out today.]

“But would it be okay? It’s too much for a light return.”

At my words, Natae-san let out a benevolent laugh.

[Please think like this rather than replying. It’s my favor toward the teacher.]

With that said, the call ended.

‘Wow… Moon in Twilight… Huh… This isn’t a big fish, it’s just a whale?’

Twilight, a gate that can be called a banquet hall for chaebols, has many things for sale, such as elixirs, weapons, and by-products of monsters that you have never heard of or seen.

Blue Moon’s most valuable items are, at best, below the legendary level.

Compared to Moon in Twilight, he is a baby.

There are legend-level and myth-level weapons scattered there.

“Kuhuh…”

I can’t stop laughing.

[Hae, Haebeom. where are you sick Why are you suddenly like this […]

“No, I just like it. hehehehe.”

It just went well.

In a few days, Shin Na-yul will bloom with light attribute magic, and for that Shin Na-yul, you need to prepare an armor in advance.

“Bitter… Is there anything else besides excitement?”

It’s not my money anyway, so I have to pick as many mulberries as I can.

I turned my head back.

In his field of vision was a Hellion yawning profusely.

“Rion. Do you need anything?”

[none.]

It’s adamant.

If you’re a dragon, shouldn’t you be full of greed? He has no greed.

“Don’t do that, tell me anything. I’ll buy it all for you.”

[Not required. I’m satisfied with the Haebeom.]

“Ehh… Are there any dragons without greed?”

Hellion doesn’t seem to want anything in particular, and Cha Hyun-woo?

This guy doesn’t like it too much.

There is a special weapon, so it’s not an urgent situation.

There seemed to be no other cadets to help except Shin Na-yul.

‘Oh right. Han Choa.’

Last time I saw it, it was wielding only an old sword, but I have to change it to a new one.

And that’s as expensive as possible.

‘I’ll spend some money.’

I’m not wrong.

If it’s wrong, it’s just that he humbly accepted Natae-san’s favor.

#

Shin Na-yul has had a lot of worries lately.

The place where the anxiety originated was none other than Cheon Hae-beom.

‘Sam is so pitiful…’

Hae-beom Cheon stretched out a helping hand to all parts of the country.

Originally, his achievements were widely spread and he should have been called a hero among heroes.

Unfortunately, no one knew.

no, there is only one

‘I’m the only one…’

Of course, stories about Cheon Hae-beom’s exploits go up and down in the mouths of some people, but that’s all.

The world did not show even a hint of interest in the character of the perpetrator and his appearance as a hero.

That fact was so frustrating and unfair.

There is nothing much to ask for.

I just want the cadets who are taught by Haebeom Cheon to know what kind of great man he is.

But the reality is harsh.

The cadets thought of Cheon Hae-beom only as difficult and only recognized him as a strict instructor. In severe cases, hostile.

‘Eunsol did that…’

Eyes that seemed to hate Cheonhaebeom.

The man who should never have been treated like that was hated by the cadets.

my heart breaks

How can I help Sam?

Shin Na-yul wandered the hallway blankly, holding that thought in mind.

“Na-eun! Excited!”

“…….”

Lee Ha-na called her from behind, but Shin Na-yul couldn’t hear anything.

“Naeun, you kept calling.”

“uh?”

I noticed it belatedly when I tapped his shoulder.

“I’m sorry… I was thinking too much and I didn’t hear.”

Will this sound like an excuse?

Shin Na-yul started to defend herself with a nervous heart.

Lee Ha-na smiled awkwardly and waved her hand.

“But it’s only one. Why did I call you?”

“Ah~ I just have something to ask.”

are you going to ask

Shin Na-yul tilted her head.

“The kids say, do you like the instructor?”

“What, what? Instructor? Eh, what kind of instructor?”

“Of course, Instructor Chun Hae-beom. Who is that?”

“My, me? What do you mean?!”

Shin Na-yul denied it to the fullest while screaming loudly.

Seeing that reaction, Hana Lee’s suspicions grew more and more.

“You always eat with the instructor. Also, during breaks, only the instructor follows you around.”

that’s…

‘It’s because I have only one friend, Teacher Cheon…’

I couldn’t get rid of my inner thoughts. because it’s embarrassing

“Hmm, now that I think about it, the instructor only favors you? Are you two dating?”

From crush to lover?

Shin Na-yul shook his red-hot face.

“No! Absolutely not!”

“Ah. Your face is written as a lie?”

“Not really… Trust me…”

“It’s okay. I’ll keep it a secret. But Naeun-ah, be careful. You know, love between priests and priests is taboo.”

Startle.

hit. Dating between priests is taboo.

If a cadet and an instructor see each other, they are both immediately expelled.

‘What do we do?!’

Apart from me, Hae-beom Cheon is fired from the academy because of this scandal?

It is an act of repaying favor with an enemy.

Shin Na-yul searched her mind as much as she could and came up with words to defuse the situation.

“That’s one, you misunderstood…”

“Umm~ Yeah? Then why do you always eat with the instructor?”

In response to that question, Shin Na-yul brought up a story she had been hiding.

“That, I ate it with you because you felt sorry for him.”

“Huh? Really? Oh, actually, the instructor is always alone.”

“Eh… Instructor, I was afraid you would be lonely, so I stayed with you all the time…”

“Ohh~ Our Naeun is kind?”

Actually the opposite.

Shin Na-yul’s conscience was stabbed by the fact that he lied.

I feel guilty and feel sorry for the teacher.

You have to be patient though. Even for Sam, not me.

“Is that why the buds of love sprouted when the two of you were always together?”

“Uh, huh?”

“It’s true that Na-eun likes you, instructor.”

Shin Na-yul uttered something he didn’t like without even realizing it.

“Because it’s not! I hate teacher!”

“What? Why are you reacting so violently?”

“Because I hate it! You keep saying you like people you hate!”

“Is that enough?”

“Yeah! How mean that teacher is! Even if I notice that he doesn’t like me, he keeps hugging me! He keeps messing around!”

“Ojirap? Umm…”

“Again…again…yes! He always breaks his promises! He bullies us! He’s just a bad person.”

I feel a little harsh, but I can’t help it.

If you don’t do this, rumors will spread throughout the school and Teacher Cheon will be expelled.

‘Sir, I’m sorry…’

In my heart, I begged him for forgiveness.

“I see. Got it… Huh?”

Lee Ha-na took a deep breath without showing a worried face.

“Hana? What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”

Lee Ha-na, who looked at herself just before, now looks as if she has seen a ghost.

“Me, over there.”

Lee Ha-na gestured towards Shin Na-yul’s back.

Shin Na-yul followed the gesture without thinking and turned around.

“Chi, Teacher Cheon?!”

At the end of it was Cheon Hae-beom.

It is an incongruously sad daylight.

“I-I’m not like that, sir… I really-“

Confused, no words came out.

She desperately wanted to clear up the misunderstanding of Cheon Hae-beom.

“I’m sorry. I guess I’ve been messing around… I won’t do that from next time. I’ll keep that in mind.”

It became so strong that it could not be undone.

Chun Hae-beom let out a helpless sigh and left.

Shin Na-yul was restless and only looked at his back.

Then, he asked Hana Lee for help.

“Ha, Hana…! What should I do?!”

“I have to hold on…”

have to hold on

hit. There is no other way.

Shin Na-yul ran out crying and blowing.

“hehehehe… Sir… I’m sorry…!”

Lee Ha-na wished Shin Na-yul luck as she was getting farther away.
