The Hero Disciple Is Back

EP.49 – 48. Master became the saintess’ counselor

people wander

But I don’t think there’s really a case of wandering around because you don’t know the answer.

At least the wandering I did was always like that.

It wasn’t that I didn’t know the answer, that I didn’t know what was right, or that I didn’t know what was wrong. Despite this, I was wandering… . Clearly, an ‘initiation’ was needed. I needed an opportunity and I wandered in hopes of finding it. In the end, the end of my wandering, which I always did, ended with finding an opportunity.

So, this girl called Stella, who is said to be a wandering saint, would be no different.

what is really right and wrong

What do you really want to choose?

I really don’t know anything

The fact that he came to the old man or his absent self in the back room who was hiding like this… .

In the end, it must have been clear that it wasn’t because I really didn’t know, but because I needed an ‘opportunity’.

That’s why I will have to be an opportunity for this child.

There was no particular obligation.

In the first place, it was the first time I met Stella today.

There was no way there could be any obligation to a person I met for the first time, to a person who hadn’t had any close encounters.

Then why am I trying to get involved in such a troublesome thing?

The answer is simple.

It is such a ‘nature’.

I’m such a guy, what can I do? There is no choice but to get caught up in it.

“The truth is, you really don’t know, don’t you? You know the truth.”

“… is it?”

“If there really wasn’t anything in the first place, there’s no way I’d be worried about something like that in the first place. It is natural for people to have no thoughts about what they do not know.”

“… Is that so?”

“Are you the kind of person who would buy and have troublesome thoughts in the first place? Just looking at it, it looks like you’re going to reject it because it’s annoying?”

“… … .”

Stella shut her mouth and nodded, as if I had said too much. I felt completely convinced.

“But… . I don’t know.”

“what?”

“I know what is right. I know what to do. But I don’t know if it’s really worth that much.”

Mmm. Are you saying that there is not enough opportunity? To begin with, I had no idea what kind of problem this saintess had. That said, if you ask if you can give proper advice just because you know it properly, that would not be the case again.

After all, people cannot fully understand the feelings of others. In the end, the problem that the person is really worried about is also the law that he thinks in the good way from his point of view and talks about it in the good way for himself. Truly considering the other person’s point of view and completely understanding the other person’s feelings and giving advice is something that only a god who can perfectly look into that person can do, not what a human being can do. .

‘Above all, I asked if it was worth saving this world… .’

It seems like you are thinking deeply about some serious problem in the world, but if you hear about such a problem, as I said before, in the end I have no choice but to drive it as if it is worth saving the world. I have a disciple and a child to look after. We have no choice but to hope that the future they will live in is safe. It is clear, therefore, that I am not going to do much for Stella, even if I am well aware of Stella’s troubles.

If so, it might be better to talk about it from a more objective standpoint if we talk about it in a state of not knowing to some extent like now.

“Then shouldn’t it be okay?”

“… Will that work?”

“It is up to you to decide that. No one else can decide that for you.”

Humans believe in God. Because it seems to guide you to the right path, the right decision, and the perfect choice. In the end, it’s because you can’t be sure if you’re doing well, right, or going well. Since you can’t be certain, you have no choice but to have a desire to lean on something absolute. That’s why humans believe in God and lean on God.

But i know

God never tells you the right way. It does not guide you on which choice to make. It does not somehow deal with the problem that is right in front of you. After all, people always have to think for themselves and make their own choices. no one replaces it If there is someone who will replace it, be suspicious.

As I said before, everyone has a position and a profit. If Stella says with her own mouth, ‘I have a problem to do about the future of the world and I am thinking about it,’ I have no choice but to convince her that the future of the world is worth saving as long as there are disciples and protégés. do. If a person appears who will make the choice for you like this, that person also has his own position and interests, and it is only for that reason that he will make a choice for you.

Therefore, no matter what problem it is, no matter how difficult it is, in the end, you have no choice but to make your own choice. Because it is absolutely right to make a choice for yourself while waiting for any outcome.

“Or running away is the way. Because there are so many guys like that. Even if you add one more to it… .”

“… Isn’t it bad to run away?”

“Anyway, the world created by humans is full of wrong things. There is nothing wrong with everything. Wouldn’t it make a difference if I did something worse there?”

“… It’s forced. It’s the height of illogicality… .”

I never thought I’d even hear ‘You’re illogical’ from a girl who suddenly appeared in the front yard of someone else’s house and was sleeping in the snow.

“That means, at least for you, running away doesn’t feel like the right answer.”

Finding out what is the right path for you is actually easy. It’s just elimination. If many paths are presented in front of you, if you exclude only those that seem not to be true among them, you will naturally have no choice but to know which path is the path to the correct answer for you.

So, I deliberately suggested the extreme choice of running away, and by denying it to myself, I was able to feel what was the right direction, even vaguely.

It was actually fishing.

Perhaps feeling that, Stella looked up at me very dissatisfied.

“… I caught… .”

“But in the end, it helped, right?”

“… kill me… .”

“Adults are inherently mean.”

I had no choice but to preach the truth of the world to a child who did not yet know the truth of the world.

“… Isn’t it worth saving a world full of such wrong adults?”

“What could it be?”

“… It’s also an important issue for Jade… . To be serious… .”

“So you seriously think that the world isn’t worth saving because it’s full of adults like that?”

“… … .”

He kept his mouth shut, but it was no different from answering, “I really don’t think so.”

“Honestly, do you know? I mean what’s right which path you should choose. You know the truth, don’t you?”

“… How do you know that?”

“I’ve tried wandering, too. It’s not that I wandered around because I didn’t really know what was right. Actually, I knew what was right, but… . I just wandered because I wanted to wander. But if you say you’re wandering while knowing, it’s a bit strange, so you’re just wandering around saying you don’t know. Aren’t you the same? Actually, I really know what to do, but I’m just pretending not to know and wandering around.”

“… … .”

Among those who stopped climbing the mountain of life, there is no one who does not know that he must move towards the top. Everyone knows that you have to keep walking and reach the top even if it is difficult. However, it is so difficult that even though you know what is right, you stop there. I know, but it was hard because it was hard. As such, everyone knows but chooses to stop because it is difficult or distressing.

Wandering is not much different from that.

It’s not that I really don’t know.

I know in my heart what to do, but I have no choice but to stop, so I stop because I want to stop.

“You can keep wandering.”

“… really?”

“Even if I miss the moment of choice… . That would be bad for me.”

“… Doesn’t that mean you have to choose after all?”

“No matter what happens, you have to think for yourself and make your own choices. It’s worth more than anything else, no matter what anyone says, right? At least for himself.”

“… … .”

Stella closed her eyes, probably understanding that. It didn’t look like it was asleep, it looked like it was immersed in contemplation.

‘Yes, I have to think and agonize a lot when I’m young.’

Saying this makes me feel like a very old man.

Well, since it’s a body that has gone into hiding, no matter how old it is, it doesn’t seem to be any different from an old man in the back room.

‘no… . Aside from that, am I not already meddling in the affairs of the world?’

Now that he had even served as a counselor to the saintess.

What kind of hermit’s daily life is this? No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t look like an old man in the back room.

♧♧♧

“please.”

Nod!

In the end, Sera had no choice but to call Madame Lane’s men and ask them to track down the wandering saint. If an irregularity happened, it was only natural to try to solve it quickly. It was obvious that the temples would only waste time by saying that the wandering saint was doing it secretly as much as she did not want the world to know, so Sarah had no choice but to move.

… Really.

Why did that idleness itself, the wandering saint, suddenly disappear… .

‘Is this also a change caused by me?’

But he himself hadn’t done anything about the wandering saint. It was because it was almost certain that she would select herself and disappear anyway. So there was no reason to worry. And just because she didn’t care didn’t mean the wandering saint made a different choice. Never had anything like this ever before. It was an irregularity that happened only in this episode.

‘Where did he go?’

Sera, who was lying on the bed in the room given to her by the temple and pressing her forehead against a throbbing headache, felt the need to heal her soul and mind.

And the best item for that was himself.

‘Ovilon’

More precisely, it was about a special person who could communicate through this Obilon.

Tiri-ri-ring! right!

-Sera?

“Of course it is me.”

-Right. You asked a stupid question.

“ah. I’m not blaming Master.”

-hahahahaha, I barely notice something like this. I’m so worried.

“Mmm.”

Even Sera had no choice but to show a subtle reaction. It was because he had driven one of the warrior candidates who had been fighting a war of nerves against him a while ago to the ground. It was Jade who was worried, not knowing that her student was so overly tough… . No matter how much Sarah is, ‘maybe I deceived too thoroughly?’ I couldn’t help but feel such remorse.

It was then.

-… Jade… give me a snack… .

‘Did I hear you wrong? I must have heard it wrong.’

-So I told you to eat dinner properly.

-… still… .

-no. just sleep

-… Boo. kill it

-Adults said it was a shameful law.

Sara couldn’t stand it any longer and had no choice but to intervene. It was because it seemed that he would not be able to restrain himself if he endured it any longer.

“Master… .”

-yes? oh I’m sorry. I have a sudden visitor.

“Is it a female voice?”

The northern chill flowed from Sera’s voice, but Jade, who was listening through Ovilon, didn’t feel it, so she just reacted calmly.

– It must be a girl’s voice. It’s called the wandering saint… . It was a car that suddenly came to me and I was in trouble.

“… … .”

Poududeuk!

An obvious noise flowed from Sera’s mouth that was never supposed to come out.

Wood deok!

Sara untied her fingers.

As if a great, very important battle had arisen out of the blue.
