Episode 59. Battle for disciples (4)
Lois gently shook her head as she watched the heated battle between the two old men.
‘How old are you?’
Watching them talk, it was no different from 10-year-olds fighting.
‘They say men become children when they get older… ‘Is that so?’
Lois looked at the two old men, and a feeling of patheticness flashed in her eyes.
They didn’t know if they were aware of those gazes, but they just fought each other, even pointing their pointed fingers at each other.
The two people, who had forgotten what their original purpose was in the first place, were now busy belittling each other by bringing up stories of the past.
They were people who had trained up to the second tier of sacred techniques and had accumulated enough discipline to be called wise men internationally, but in the face of long-standing competition, even decades of discipline was meaningless.
There was also a tendency that Royce’s appearance inflamed their competitive spirit even more.
‘It’s actually good. ‘This is the gap!’
No matter what the situation was, now was the opportunity.
As the two old men’s attention shifted away from her, Lois slowly moved away with a cat-like pace.
Lois disappeared like that, but the two old men did not notice it at all.
It was a long time later that they noticed Lois’ absence.
“Eh? Lois?”
“Uh, where did you go?”
I looked around for a moment to find Lois.
Lois, who had disappeared, resurfaced as the topic of their argument.
“I ran away because of you!”
“Why is this because of me? “Even if you hadn’t shown up, that kid would have been having a private conversation with me right now, you bastard!”
“Whew, bastard? “This old man said everything!”
“I’m not done yet!”
After that, the bickering between the two continued for a long time.
* * *
Four days after that.
“Oooh, Lois!”
“Who is this? “Isn’t this Lois, who will be my future student?”
Lois frowned as she saw Logan and Aiden pop out from one side as if they had been waiting for her.
‘Again?!’
The two vice-presidents had been visiting Royce steadily since that day four days ago.
Even though they frown at each other, when they look at Lois, their faces melt as if they had never been like that before.
“How was it that nothing special happened today?”
“… … .”
“No one bothered you?”
“… … .”
Logan and Aiden approach with kind and kind faces.
Lois, who faced them, had only annoyance on her face.
‘Damn it! ‘My peaceful daily life is because of these people!’
The competition between the two to take Royce as his disciple has already emerged as another topic of discussion on the Half Sunny.
The Vice Tower lords of the Dawn and Midnight Night Demon Tower were much more famous than Royce thought.
It was natural that someone who recognized them appeared on the ship.
Therefore, the person named Lois, whom they courted so much, had no choice but to become a specialty of the Half Sunny.
To be exact, Lois and the two old men were treated as a specialty together.
“Come on, Lois, why don’t you try this?”
“Uh-huh, where! Give Lois those cheap snacks! This is a pudding made at a special request from the chef onboard the Royce. “Don’t even look at those cheap snacks and just take these.”
Lois sighed at the barrage of gifts from the two old men.
However, he did not refuse the gifts from the tower owners.
‘Because this is a small reward for my hard work.’
With that in mind, Lois chews on snacks and pudding.
The two vice tower owners looked at Lois happily, as if they were watching their grandson perform a trick.
It was a scene that would have enraged Lois’s grandfather, Famus, if he had seen it.
Lois opened her mouth with a sullen expression as the two people’s burdensome gaze continued for a while.
“Hey, grandpa.”
“Okay, here it is!”
“Uh-huh! “The deal that called me!”
“… “Both of you.”
“Hmm.”
“Okay, so what’s going on? Ho, by any chance?”
The two boat owners swallowed their saliva out of nervousness as Royce, who had been reluctant to their courtship, responded for the first time.
They stared at Lois with sorrowful eyes, waiting to be chosen.
However, something unexpected and completely different from what was expected came out of Lois.
“Which of you two is older?”
“ok?”
“Eh?”
Old people with their eyes glazed over.
Lois shrugged her shoulders and continued.
“No, isn’t it? “To be honest, I have no intention of becoming a disciple, but when he came to me on an empty day and asked me to accept him as a disciple, I was worried.”

“worry?”
“If I’m going to become your disciple, I’ll have to choose one of you in the end… “Are you worried about who you should choose?”
“Hehehe, is there any need for such worries? Of course it’s this Logan!”
“Hehe, the babbler of the third-place castle tower is gone! “Of course it’s Aiden!”
The corners of Lois’ mouth became slightly pouty as she looked at the old people bickering in front of her.
However, because it was only for a moment, the two old men did not notice it.
Instead, he continued speaking with a very conflicted expression.
“Anyway! If the… Really what if! “I thought that if a situation were to come where I had to become a disciple of one of the two, I would like to go under someone with better skills.”
“Hehehe.”
“Hehehe.”
The two tower owners laughed heartily at Royce’s answer.
However, unlike their laughter, their expressions were stiff.
Aiden thought for a moment and asked a question.
“What that means is that I will go under the more skilled among us…” “Is this what you mean?”
“If you become someone’s disciple.”
“Is that so?”
Pajijijik-.
As soon as Lois finished speaking, an electric current surged between Logan and Aiden.
Logan said with a slight smile.
“Yes, yes. You’re right. “I guess I was putting a burden on you by asking you to choose between us.”
“You suffered a lot because of these two immature old men. Because it’s a skill… ha ha ha! yes! We’ll compete against each other and one of us will be able to back down cleanly… Hehehe. There was such a great way! “Lois, you are wiser than us.”
Pajijijik-.
An endless electric current bloomed between the two tower owners who were talking back and forth.
They said, glaring at each other.
“Come to think of it, Aiden, it’s been a long time since I competed with you.”
“Great. “At this point, I will clearly engrave the difference in skill between you and me into that old brain.”
“Hehe, you’re saying what I have to say.”
As they are enemies, they have clashed countless times since their youth.
The combined record of the two so far is 51 wins and 51 losses in 102 matches.
There was only half a win or loss split between them.
As he got older and his status rose, his suppressed desire to win exploded, using Royce’s provocative proposal as a catalyst.
Kurrrr-.
The two radiate fierce energy.
They erased their speculation and spoke in soft voices to Lois.
“I’ll come back with a winner before this voyage ends.”
“Please wait.”
So the two people left.
Lois grinned as she looked at where they had left.
“I won’t be able to see you for a while now, cluck.”
In Lois’s opinion, the two people’s skills were equal.
It is difficult for anyone to easily say who will win or lose.
I don’t know how the two will win or lose in the fight, but the process will not end anytime soon.
During that time, Lois was free from both men.
“Cluck cluck.”
When Lois smiled sinisterly, a pin popped out from the hem of his clothes.
The guy looked around and asked.
“went?”
“Yes, I went.”
“joy! “A mere human would even think of taking our great Lois as his disciple!”
Finn glared harshly at the place where the two old men had disappeared.
Lois gently stroked Finn’s head.
“are you okay.”
“But humans don’t really know their own fractions!”
“Well, that’s true, but… I don’t think I’ll see you again for a while. Maybe forever? “Cook, cluck.”
They were fighting and fighting among themselves.
When I thought about that, I felt like my stuffy stomach had emptied out.
Royce comfortably took the snacks given to her by the two boat owners.
At that time, Finn looked around and asked.
“By the way, Lois.”
“yes?”
“Where have the twins gone?”
“Euleh? (Well?)”
Lois, who was stuffing her mouth full of pudding, tilted her head.
gulp-.
The soft pudding slides over the neck and neck.
“what… “Where are you running around so hard?”
“I guess so?”
“huh.”
To be honest, Finn wasn’t worried about the twins.
I just found it because it wasn’t there.
After a brief conversation, the two turned their attention to the twins and quickly finished the remaining snacks.
Meanwhile, on the deck of the ship.
“Kyahaha!”
“Crackling!”
As Lois and Finn expected, the twins were diligently moving around the ship today.
But something happened that neither Lois nor Finn expected.
“Hoo? “What about those kids?”
Gray hair and wrinkled face.
However, his body boasts a firmness befitting his age.
Even a long sword tied to his waist.
The fact that someone with extraordinary prayer is keeping an eye on the twins.
* * *
It has been about a month and a half since the Half Sunny left Lufthagen Port.
In just about 15 days, we will arrive at the autumn continent.
In the meantime, Lois was able to get rid of the two old people who were clinging to her like a leech and enjoy her daily life leisurely.
“good night.”
“It’s good.”
Lois and Finn had brought a long chair and were relaxing under the shining sun.
The salty scent of the sea and the cool air.
Royce melted and spread out in the warm sunlight.
The hair is white, and the skin is also white.
It was so soft that it looked just like glutinous rice cake baked in the sun.
“Uh… Melting, melting.”
Lois’s eyes were just about to close due to the pleasant warmth.
“… what?”
Lois noticed something strange and slowly opened her eyes.
He pricked up his ears and muttered.
“pin… “Isn’t it strange?”
“What?”
“too… “It’s quiet, right?”
“Yes, of course. Why is that… ah!”
Finn, who was asking what was wrong with being quiet, finally realized what Lois was talking about and let out an exclamation.
“Twins!”
It was like that.
By now, the twins should have been running around the deck laughing.
But for some reason, the deck was extremely quiet.
Lois frowned and stood up.
“these… “Where are you and what kind of accident are you having?”
Lois set the twins free because there was nowhere to run on the ship.
He decided that he needed to discipline the twins once again, so he set out to find them.
About 10 minutes later.
Lois was able to find the twins.
At the same time, Lois’ eyes widened.
It wasn’t just twins.
“uh?”
Isn’t there a stocky old man next to the twins?
Looking at them, Lois tilted her head.
‘What are you doing?’
The twins and the old man seemed to be talking about something.
Lois watched them quietly.
A moment later, the old man took out a large lump of what appeared to be dried beef jerky from his pocket.
He cut the beef jerky in two and gave it to the twins.
The twins trembled and accepted the beef jerky.
The guys sucked the beef jerky and held the old man’s hand.
Just as the twins were about to follow the old man.
“These?!”
Sparks flew from Lois’ eyes.
An enraged Lois frowned and shouted.
“hey! Khan, Kani!”
The twins and the old man turned around when they heard Lois’ voice echoing across the deck.
Lois rushed over and grabbed the twin’s hand that was connected to the old man.
