Side Story Episode 43. Destiny (4)
Commandant was an elixir whose color changed significantly depending on the date of manufacture.
Among them, the red herbal medicine is made by collecting red yeast that blooms in a cave in Hibmandaesan Mountain in winter when it is fully ripe, and was considered the best among the commanding officers.
In front of Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes, the red command group was revealed.
The command team that appeared inside the gold bag gave off a rather musty scent. If someone unfamiliar with it smelled it, they would have thought it was the scent of dried medicinal herbs.
It’s not harsh enough to make you feel bad. Still, it’s strong. Just the smell makes her lungs shrink slightly, and at the same time, the demonic energy lurking in her Danjeon slowly raises her head.
‘Magi reacts.’
To be exact, it is resonance.
I heard that the reason the command greatly increases demonic energy and changes the body to a constitution suitable for demonic attacks is because of a certain type of herb contained in the herbal medicine.
It is said to be a herb commonly distributed in the market. However, it is said that the herb’s ingredients are called Magi, but the amount is so small that thousands of roots must be eaten within a few days to get the full effect.
However, if you make a mistake, you could actually be harmed by the toxicity of the herb. The essence of the headquarters recipe was to amplify the ingredients of a few common herbs to the limit.
“I don’t understand.”
“What do you mean?”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Do-heon.
He looked quite relieved. There was no regret or regret on that calm and neat face.
“You said you owed me a favor, but no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it’s a favor worthy of giving me this treasure.”
“I am the one who lives in the world.”
“… … ?”
“I see it from my perspective, and it is also called grace.”
“… … .”
“You might think it was an insignificant help, but for me, it was a life-changing grace.”
“It’s unreasonable.”
“It doesn’t matter what you think. “I felt that way, so that’s it.”
“But mostly… … .”
“Is it burdensome?”
For a moment, Lee Cheon-sang flinched.
Doheon smiled. It was a smile that resembled bright moonlight.
“When we first talked, you said you would accept my favor without knowing what favor I had received. Very freely. Because no matter how you feel, it has nothing to do with you.”
“… … !”
“But now you are hesitating to accept my gift because of worldly calculations. what is the reason?”
“reason… … .”
It was just as Doheon said.
Lee Cheon-sang wasn’t like this originally. Even though I wondered why I would do something like that, I dismissed it as part of my emotions that I didn’t understand.
Lee Cheon-sang’s brain never stopped analyzing at any moment except sleep. But there were moments when even he couldn’t understand it properly.
Leave the things that haven’t been analyzed alone. All I have to do is turn my attention to the best choice that benefits me in that situation.
Lee Cheon-sang lived like that. So, in addition to being evaluated as strange, he was also evaluated as being ruthless.
But now I keep trying to analyze situations I don’t understand.
Why?
‘Burden?’
What does it mean to be burdensome?
‘Thank you, but I know you feel sorry for just accepting it.’
What else does it mean to feel sorry?
“… … !”
Lee Cheon-sang flinched again.
Somewhere in my chest I feel sore. This happens even though the bones, muscles, and internal organs do not hurt. It was a strange feeling.
Doheon, who was looking at Lee Cheon-sang, spoke in a slightly lighter voice.
“If you just accept it, then think differently.”
“… … ?”
“You owe me a debt.”
“It’s a debt.”
“Honestly, the battle you went through this time didn’t have to happen. “I felt very sorry when I thought about what it would have been like if we had recruited people from the main university and supported them without anyone knowing.”
That’s what I said, but it’s something that should never be handled like that.
Although Shingyo’s information network is not the same as before, it has not become so dull that it cannot properly check what is happening in the front yard.
Rather, because it was Lee Cheon-sang and his party, they did not look into the details of what happened. This was because, due to his position, he was not in a position to observe.
The elite soldiers of the New Education Corps, the best combat unit in the civil war, are secretly leaving?
Not only is it impossible, but even if you manage to sneak out, you will suffer a huge political blow if you are caught in the future. It would be nice if it could be concluded outside of official duties, but it could also affect Gwangmadae.
“You said you wanted it, but in the end, I was the one who dragged you into something dangerous.”
“That’s not true.”
Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.
“I made all the choices. From the moment you first make a choice, the responsibility for that choice is yours. “You have no reason to be sorry.”
“I’m glad you think that way, but I still feel sorry. “At least you should have taken care of what you needed.”
“You took care of it, right?”
We received sufficient information, including tri-color bullets, Shinpyo armor, and light armor for each part. If you provided that much help but couldn’t get the job done properly, it would be just as pitiful.
“My calculations end here. In a way, I already owe you something. “Because I asked you a favor that may have been unreasonable for my survival.”
“Hey man, what do you mean by regretful?”
“I don’t want to owe you any more.”
Doheon sighed.
“I will speak openly. I don’t know about you, but this is what I think. “Now it is meaningless to discuss debt between you and me.”

“Why is that?”
“Why is that so… … If you ask why, there is no logical reason you can accept. “Because I just liked you.”
“Why did you like me?”
Do I have to go this far into questioning it?
However, Do-heon was not disappointed at Lee Cheon-sang’s reaction. It was because he was genuinely curious and I believed that this conversation would help him mature as a person.
“There may be no reason why a person feels attracted to another person.”
“that… … .”
“I’m sorry, but haven’t you experienced a lot of people feeling uncomfortable and hating you for no reason?”
I deliberately used the strong word ‘hate’.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was lost in thought for a moment, opened his mouth.
“Humans live by treating the unclear framework of normality and common sense as if it exists. “I don’t understand their minds, but I know to some extent what they mean by normality and common sense.”
“is it.”
“In their view, I am neither ordinary nor common sense. That’s why you hate me. “Because humans feel distance from the reactions of unfamiliar people.”
“Then I guess I’m just as special as you. “I also felt strange seeing you like that, but in the end, it led to liking me.”
“… … .”
“Besides, our deal still stands. I just need to help you learn better about the world. That’s why we’re giving you this command.”
“Then what about me?”
“hmm?”
“If it’s a deal, what should I do for you? “If you think about it, you didn’t make that clear.”
“… … .”
Do-heon looked at Lee Cheon-sang without answering.
Lee Cheon-sang did not avoid Do-heon’s gaze. He had no reason to avoid it.
So the two looked at each other for a long time.
How much time has passed?
“future.”
“… … ?”
Do-heon held Lee Cheon-sang’s hand and placed the command platform on top of him.
“I have a lot to give you. So you give me a future.”
“future… … ?”
“It’s abstract. It’s ideological. But what I really want from you is the future.”
“What future?”
“Better Protestantism, better world.”
“… … .”
“I want a world where the Majins are like the Minions, and a world where the Protestants are like the Protestants. “I hope you will take the lead in creating such a world and cleanse the bloody wounds of Protestantism.”
This time, even Lee Cheon-sang couldn’t ask what it was.
‘what?’
It’s too abstract. but… … .
‘Somehow… … .’
It felt like I knew something in a strange way.
Lee Cheon-sang accepted the word ‘future’, which could not be interpreted specifically, as ‘something’ rather than his head. He didn’t yet realize what that ‘something’ was.
Although his face was indifferent as usual, Doheon did not miss the subtle change in Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes.
He chuckled.
“It’s hard to give that elixir just once. “I’m giving you a treasure worth as much as a division, and there won’t be anyone like you who will nitpick about this and that.”
Doheon turned around and stretched while looking at the moon.
“I feel at ease. In fact, I thought about swallowing up that command. It doesn’t seem like you’ll be able to advance to the next level with just one pill, but it’s still one of our school’s great masters. “I was so greedy.”
“… … .”
“It may not be for me, but it will be of great help to you. “Whether it’s a deal or something else, what’s the big deal about giving a pill of elixir to a colleague with guaranteed better efficiency while moving toward the same future?”
“… … .”
“Yeah, honestly, it’s a big deal. “It’s not a waste at all, but I can’t help but feel envious.”
Doheon cleared his throat.
“That’s embarrassing. I thought I was someone who could give me comfort and turn my back on me, but I’m also quite a snob… … .”
“Take it.”
Doheon turned around in surprise.
“This guy. Just kidding, no… … .”
For a moment, Doheon’s eyes wavered.
Handing over a command board split in half, Lee Cheon-sang calmly opened his mouth.
“If the head of the Criminal Code is not Ong-inun, we will be able to find out whether you have taken the command or not.”
“W-What is this?!”
“If you don’t take it and just keep it, how will the head of the penal court feel? You have built a strong trust, but don’t let that trust be broken for no reason. and… … .”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
“I heard that if you are a colleague, you should share the good things and bear the bad things together.”
“… … .”
“I think it’s a failure in terms of efficiency, but if it also reflects the emotion of the world people live in, then I’ll try to learn it.”
“Look.”
“If you want a future for me, you too must become strong.”
“… … !”
“Shouldn’t you enjoy that future too?”
“you… … !”
“Be strong and go up. Go up and give me more. “I don’t know when I will give it to you properly, but when the time comes, I will give you the future you spoke of.”
A light of emotion appeared on Doheon’s face.
Lee Cheon-sang’s act of returning the split headquarters to himself was a great gift in itself. Even if I had obtained the Heavenly Demon Goddess, I wouldn’t have been happier than this.
Do-heon, who was looking at Lee Cheon-sang with eyes full of turbulence, received the command corps cut in half.
“I won’t forget this feeling.”
“I still don’t know what that feeling is.”
“I understand. “You don’t know, but I know.”
Surprisingly, Lee Cheon-sang’s voice became a little brusque.
“That would be good, because I know a lot.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
It was very nice to hear Doheon’s cheerful laughter.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
“You will suffer even more.”
“Good, good.”
“The future… … “I’m not sure yet, but somehow I feel like I know.”
“Is it complicated? Well, I guess so. Just think easy. All you have to do is move forward for a devoted and good god, as opposed to the one currently sitting on the throne.”
“He is a good god.”
A subtle golden glow appeared in Lee Cheon-sang’s pupils.
“I will give you a good god. “I still don’t know.”
