Side Story Episode 30. Burning (5)
Early morning the next day.
After finishing his training in his room, Lee Cheon-sang stopped by Homiru for a meal.
Homiru operated twelve city visits a day. However, he was not around from midnight until noon, and could only order a few dishes.
“Oh, are you here?”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded at Jeom So-i’s greeting.
It was Jeomsoy who worked from dawn to lunch. Since we had come at the same time, we had seen each other every time, so the face was familiar.
Of course, Jeom So-i could not greet Lee Cheon-sang with a smiling face like usual. Lee Cheon-sang’s expression was so stiff that even most experts avoided it.
“Hey, sir. “I think you should go up to this floor and eat today.”
Lee Cheon-sang looked around the first floor.
There was no one on the first floor. There were no broken tables or chairs, and it was in the same order as usual.
Jeomsoy said with an embarrassed face.
“that… … There was someone to tour the first floor today… … .”
It seemed like people were coming because of the incident that happened last night.
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“Give me what I always eat.”
“Ah, yep!”
Lee Cheon-sang came up to this floor and took a seat by the window.
After a while, hot porridge with minced meat and stir-fried vegetables were served.
I didn’t even know I was hungry while concentrating on training. However, if my stomach was strong, my concentration was better, even if only slightly.
Because of that, Lee Cheon-sang’s porridge was so large that even three decent men could eat their fill. There was so much meat in it that I doubted whether I could really digest it.
Lee Cheon-sang ate his food slowly.
If you often spend days feeling hungry, you tend to eat food in a hurry. However, no matter how hungry you are, if you eat slowly and chew thoroughly, it will be easily digested and will not put a strain on your stomach.
Lee Cheon-sang knew that from experience.
How much did you eat like that?
Squeak. Squeak.
There was a person who climbed the stairs at a certain pace.
Lee Cheon-sang could tell who that person was without even turning around. This was because he had already heard the conversation with Jeomsoi on the first floor.
“Can we sit together?”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded without saying a word.
The woman sitting across from me asked Jeomsoy for a meal. The food was the same as Lee Cheon-sang’s.
said the woman.
“You belong to the Yacha Command, right?”
“exactly.”
“I was also transferred to Yaksha Command. “It’s called Juyeon Bridge.”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
That was it. The woman’s expression became strange.
“What is your name?”
“It’s two thousand prizes.”
“Lee Cheon-sang… … “That’s a good name.”
There was no reaction from Lee Cheon-sang.
Juyeongyo buried his back in his chair and said.
“Anyway, we belong to the same organization and there is no immediate division of ranks, so please feel free to talk to me.”
“Sure.”
Juyeongyo felt the same way that Yang Geon felt.
‘He is a strange person.’
There are many unique people in Shinkyo. Although it was influenced by the magic skills it was learning, it had so many people that it was called a small country in the first place, so its personality was also very different.
‘Does he have no social skills?’
Of course, there were many people who had no social skills.
But she felt it instinctively. A sense of heterogeneity emanating from this person named Lee Cheon-sang.
Of course, I didn’t know exactly what that feeling of heterogeneity was.
Juyeon-gyo, who was looking at Lee Cheon-sang blankly, asked.
“It’s just a glimpse, right?”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
Juyeongyo smiled.
“It’s the room next to yours.”
“know.”
“How do you know?”
“I felt a presence.”
Juyeongyo chuckled.
“You knew all that and yet you pretended not to know?”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Juyeon-gyo with puzzled eyes.
“Should I pretend to know?”
“… … .”
It really leaves me speechless.
An awkward silence fell between the two. Of course, the awkwardness was entirely Juyeongyo’s fault. Lee Cheon-sang didn’t know what awkwardness was.
After a while, Juyeon’s meal came out.
It was the same food and the same amount as Lee Cheon-sang. There was so much food that it was almost laughable for a small woman to eat it.

Juyeongyo ate eagerly as if there was no problem at all.
The speed at which she ate was noticeably faster. By the time Lee Cheon-sang finished her porridge, she was also almost finishing her meal.
Lee Cheon-sang pulled the string in the air.
After a while, Jeomsoy came up.
“Would you like some tea that you always drink?”
“Please do so.”
“yes!”
Juyeongyo raised his hand.
“Same thing.”
“Oh, I understand. “When you’ve finished eating, I’ll clean up your dishes.”
Jeomsoi, who came with a tray, took the bowl.
Lee Cheon-sang sat quietly and looked out the window. The sky at dawn was quite atmospheric.
“Yesterday.”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Juyeon-gyo.
Juyeongyo’s expression was so strange that it was difficult to explain.
“You noticed me, right?”
“Yes.”
After hesitating for a moment, Juyeongyo spoke in a somewhat heavy voice.
“I had no intention of making the incident a big deal in the first place.”
Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.
“What you said is a lie.”
“what?”
“You were making fun of your opponent. Because of that, the incident grew bigger.”
Juyeongyo was shocked.
With those words, Lee Cheon-sang turned his head to the window again.
Juyeongyo had no idea what the other person was thinking.
“The incident got bigger because of me?”
“Yes.”
“They were the ones who started the fight first. “I am the victim.”
“know.”
“… … ?”
“But you had the power to overpower him. “Both by force and by position.”
“… … .”
“And at that time, there were many people on the first floor who had not even learned martial arts.”
Juyeongyo’s eyes wavered.
At that time, Jeomsoy brought out tea.
Juyeongyo asked, fiddling with the teacup.
“It’s my fault?”
Lee Cheon-sang said while drinking tea.
“In any case, the one who committed the offense first is at fault. It’s obvious. However, as a person with power, your behavior cannot be considered correct.”
“Isn’t that a bit too much to say? It’s my fault for not caring about the general public, but… … .”
“You weren’t that angry at that guy’s insult.”
Juyeongyo smiled coldly.
“How do you know that?”
“It doesn’t matter what I know. “It’s important for you to know.”
“… … !”
“No wolf gets angry at a rabbit’s insult. All you have to do is eat it and that’s it.”
“… … .”
“Like a predator, you neither hunted nor ignored your opponent. “I was just playing around.”
“It’s the fault of the person who started the fight first.”
“If there weren’t helpless civilians, I would have agreed with your statement now.”
Juyeongyo’s cheeks trembled slightly.
Lee Cheon-sang quenched his thirst with tea and said.
“I learned that even if the result is the same, the boundary between right and wrong becomes blurred depending on the person’s condition, environment, and situation at the time.”
“… … .”
“So I think you were incorrect.”
“why? “You say it was wrong to kill him?”
“I don’t know if there is an organization like the Criminal Justice Party in the external world. “But I think the guy who did something deadly deserves to die.”
“… … what?”
“The only question is where and how you die.”
He was a strange human being.
The tone of voice was great, but the content of the words was more shocking. Rather than simply dividing it into perpetrator and damage, it also considers whether the person had power or not, what the situation was, and whether it was truly force majeure.
It’s a very complex yet plausible story, plausible yet dream-like. From the victim’s perspective, it may not seem funny, but considering the situation, it doesn’t seem to be wrong.
Juyeongyo, who was quietly looking at Lee Cheon-sang, suddenly asked.
“Is there anyone involved in the civil war?”
“Yes.”
Juyeongyo was even more surprised because he admitted it so obediently.
“You seem to be quite skilled, but Shingyo is a place where it is difficult to survive without connections, no matter how good your skills are.”
“That’s right.”
“Seeing as they came in before the unit was even established, it looks like they have a good background. “I don’t think it’s persuasive for you to talk about the correctness of coming here thanks to an unjust power.”
Lee Cheon-sang, who was quietly looking at Juyeon-gyo, nodded.
“That too.”
What is this guy?
Juyeongyo’s eyebrows twitched. It occurred to me that he was truly an incomprehensible bastard.
“I don’t know other people’s lives. Since I have never lived like them, my words may also be empty nonsense from someone who has no experience.”
“… … You’re strangely quick at self-reflection, aren’t you? “Are you going to hit me in front of me and then bandage me?”
“The more you learn, the more your principles and ideas change. “I think someday I might become like you and Yang Geon.”
“Who is Yang Geon?”
“Yaksa triangle.”
“ah? “Who was with you yesterday?”
“Yes.”
Juyeongyo rested his chin and looked at Lee Cheon-sang.
“Do you know something really strange?”
“know.”
“It’s really strange. It’s so strange. “It’s not some kind of wooden doll, and there’s no humanity in the way it speaks.”
“know.”
Juyeongyo chuckled at that consistent response.
Lee Cheon-sang drank tea and looked out the window again.
“Is there anything outside? “What are you looking at like that?”
Lee Cheon-sang did not answer.
Juyeongyo thought.
‘Be a predator… … .’
Although I was offended by Lee Cheon-sang’s words, I wasn’t very angry or resentful.
Rather, it was refreshing. In particular, his words, comparing himself and the head of the Hyanghwa family to a wolf and a rabbit, particularly shook his heart.
‘Is the world completely divided into the strong and the weak? Then I… … .’
Although it is relative, it clearly shows that he is a strong player.
I thought that probably whoever the other person was would have said the same thing. Even though it was my first time having a conversation, this quietly crazy person’s attitude did not seem to distinguish between men and women of all ages.
‘It’s needlessly principled.’
However, the fact that he confidently acknowledged that he had a backstory was overwhelming.
Juyeongyo said with a smile.
“You are such a contradictory person.”
It was then.
bang!
A loud noise erupted from the first floor.
“Where is the owner?”
It was a calm yet cold, gentle yet ruthless voice.
It’s a voice that doesn’t match the loud sound of a door breaking. So it was more brutal.
“omg! “Who are you?”
match!
“evil!”
“Bring the owner.”
Juyeongyo’s face hardened.
Magi creeping up from the stairs.
It was a considerable concentration of demonic energy. It wasn’t just one, it seemed like there were well over twenty.
‘It’s a little confusing, but the skills are considerable.’
At that time, Lee Cheon-sang stood up. Juyeongyo got up without realizing it.
Lee Cheon-sang went down the stairs without saying a word. It was a gait that was neither hurried nor leisurely, and would not change even if a thunderbolt struck from behind.
Juyeongyo sighed and followed him.
“Lu, Lord Lu is not here right now!”
Jeomsoi’s face with swollen cheeks was pitiful to look at.
In the eyes of Punggokdanju’s mother, he was young to live.
“What if you’re not there? “Then is it over?”
“… … yes?”
“I’ll give you some, so bring it with you.”
“Is this just a tip?”
puck!
“Aaaah!”
Jeomsoi, who fell on the floor due to Mo Guksang’s kick, let out a groaning sound.
Jeomsoi’s shins were sunk in. The bone is broken.
“Bring it to me right now. “If the owner doesn’t show up in the corner, this base will disappear from today.”
Mo Guo-sang’s eyes became gloomy.
“Your life and the owner’s life, too.”
“Huh!”
“Is there any time left? “I’m sure you said it was just a part of it, right?”
It was then.
“I don’t think this is the correct situation you were talking about?”
“Right.”
A vivid anger can be felt in the leisurely tone of voice.
Mo Guksang frowned and looked at the stairs where the voice came from. A man and a woman were coming down from there.
