50. When the rain stops, the birds will fly.
He glanced at the people who were sitting on the Bloodthirsty Horse. The meaning behind his displeased eyes was this.
‘Are you telling me to sit among these rascals?’
I greeted him warmly before the words could leave my mouth.
“Come in, sir. Please sit here.”
As everyone stood up and greeted him politely, he pretended not to be able to win and sat down.
“Why did you call me?”
Just as Geomjon misunderstood before, it seems he thought I would be alone.
In fact, the second issue for Hyeolcheon Doma was who was present at the drinking party, and he was just someone who was unfamiliar with and uncomfortable with such drinking parties. Just like when I gave him a birthday present, he was not used to this kind of private atmosphere.
“Why did you call me to a bar? I called you to have a drink with me.”
I poured him a drink. Hyeolcheondoma accepted the drink, although he looked a bit uneasy.
“You have to hang out with young people to stay young.”
“What are you going to do when you’re young?”
“It would be nice to be younger even by a day. What would you do if you were a master and had power? We all have to kneel before time.”
“Why are you talking about the passage of time when you are so young and fresh?”
Everyone was listening to our conversation with surprised faces. They probably didn’t know that Hyeolcheon Doma and I could have such a comfortable conversation.
“Let’s live and enjoy this moment. What would you regret when you die? Not learning more martial arts? Not accumulating more internal energy? Not defeating that swordsman who lives somewhere over there? I don’t think so.”
“That’s why everyone is making a fuss before they die. So they don’t die with such stupid regrets.”
“It will be different for you, sir.”
“What did I say?”
“Elder, you look young and alert for your age, don’t you?”
Since ancient times, isn’t it true that the best compliments are the ones given in front of other people?
“joy!”
Bloodthirsty Demon drank his alcohol with a snort, but his expression did not seem all that unpleasant.
Seo Dae-ryong had a really complicated expression on his face since he came in. His drunken eyes seemed to be saying this.
– No, no! No, no! Are you kidding?
It’s sad to say this to him who is in shock and fear, but it’s true. I intend to make Blood Heavenly Sword Master Seo Dae-ryong.
Jangho offered a drink to Hyeolcheondoma.
“Thank you so much for recommending me earlier. I’m just saying hello now.”
“It wasn’t my intention, but it was because of the person here, so you should say hello over there.”
“I have received enough, so please accept my greetings, sir. In fact, it would have been impossible without you.”
Hyeolcheon Doma looked at Jangho and said.
“I recommended it because I thought it was a position you could handle, so don’t worry about it.”
“thank you.”
Jangho’s expression brightened at the compliment he heard for the first time from Amazon.
A person’s nature may not change easily, but attitudes can change depending on the situation. There is a huge difference between the Bloodthirsty Doma when I first met him and the Bloodthirsty Doma now. To the extent that I can make this suggestion.
“I have a favor to ask of you, sir.”
“What?”
I looked at Seo Dae-ryong. He was no longer able to endure the effects of alcohol and was lowering his head with his eyes closed.
“Hey buddy, teach me some martial arts.”
Hyeolcheondoma was startled by the unexpected words.
“Who is this rat drop?”
Just as I was about to introduce him, Seo Dae-ryong raised his head and shouted with his tongue twisted.
“He is a manly man with a ruthless personality who is power-oriented, but loves only one woman, a rebel who raises his hand when everyone else is silent, a pacifist, and the right-hand man of the Lord, Seo Dae-ryong! And I am not that rat-like person!”
After pouring out his words, he lowered his head again. We could tell. Seo Dae-ryong was completely drunk.
“ha ha ha.”
I laughed out loud and Ian lowered his head to hold back his laughter. Jang-ho smirked and drank his drink.
Judging from the fact that he remembered exactly what I said even when he was drunk, he was a genius when it came to memory.
“What is that strange crazy guy?”
“I had a lot to drink, so please understand.”
“What about martial arts! Just look at your face and be thankful I didn’t kill you.”
“He is the person we really need.”
“hate.”
“Elder!”
The bloodthirsty demon looked at me as if he was glaring at me.
“But why me?”
“Because you are the best. I want my friend to learn from the best person.”
“How can I teach you martial arts if you are not my disciple?”
“Then take him as your disciple.”
“what?”
“I don’t think there is anyone among the current disciples who is fit to take over the position of the elder. The youngest disciple is kind, but with his personality, it would be difficult for him to become the successor. How about this guy here?”
“hate!”
Bloodthirsty Horse refused outright.
“Haven’t you spent your whole life doing only the things you want to do? Now, try doing some things you don’t like.”
“I said I don’t want to.”
“Why don’t you like it? There must be a reason why you don’t like it.”
“I just don’t like it. What’s the reason for not liking it?”
It was just then.

“I don’t like it either!”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the owner of the voice. It was the main character of the life-threatening drunkenness, Seo Dae-ryong.
“Would it be okay for me?”
Ian, surprised, tried to stop him, but he was already throwing a tantrum at Bloodthirsty Demon with gloomy eyes.
“Old Thomas!”
Luckily, he didn’t call me Domaya.
“I clearly said no. So don’t even think about teaching me! No! You! Can’t! Do! That!”
He spoke his words of failure one by one. With each word he spoke, everyone became tense, fearing that the Bloodthirsty Demon would burst out.
Seo Dae-ryong, who had been raising his voice, looked at me this time. His eyes were already completely open. If he were in his right mind, he wouldn’t have done that to Hyeoncheon Doma. Ah, this is a case of returning light.
“Our esteemed master! Let me ask you something!”
“You will be killed soon, so I will answer you honestly.”
“Why are you trying to throw me away to that heartless and ruthless person? Oh, oh, oh, if you do that, I’ll be sad.”
The veins on Hyeolcheondoma’s forehead suddenly bulged. I smiled at Hyeolcheondoma, as if asking him to understand.
“Why? To learn martial arts.”
“So why?”
“To boost your self-esteem.”
Although he didn’t say it here, it was to make him the next Lord of the Underworld. If he learns martial arts from Blood Heavenly Demon, he will have a stronger supporter than anyone else.
“Oh, I guess I have a bit of low self-esteem.”
He lowered his head again. Lee Yeon held his body from the side.
“You’ve had a lot to drink. I’ll take you and go first.”
When she tried to help him get up, Seo Dae-ryong rejected her hand.
“I’m not drunk, my heart.”
“Heart?”
“Yes, I have an arm. Ian, you have a heart. Our heart is more precious than an arm. The arm can be cut off, but the heart cannot be hurt.”
Ian would think that Seo Dae-ryong was drunk and talking nonsense.
You jealous bastard, you’re so smart that you remember everything even in this difficult time.
I asked the Bloodthirsty Horseman politely again.
“After work, please teach me for half an hour. A few days is fine, or a few years is fine. If you don’t like this guy, you can teach him for just one day. Just give him a chance.”
“You really trust that drunkard.”
“I trust my elders.”
Bloodthirsty Horse and Seodaeryong had something in common. They were slightly outside the mainstream, but had a passion greater than anyone else in the mainstream.
Just when the words “no” were about to come out of Hyeolcheon Doma’s mouth.
“I said no!”
Seo Dae-ryong struck first.
Bloodthirsty Doma frowned. I saw it then. The emotions in Bloodthirsty Doma’s eyes.
‘Tell me what you really hate? Make me suffer for it.’
Without even knowing it, Seo Dae-ryong stuck out his lips and shook his head in front of the Bloodthirsty Horse with his eyes almost closed. If he had stuck out his tongue, it would have definitely been cut off.
Fortunately, before the Bloodthirsty Demon’s sword could fly in, Seo Dae-ryong fell asleep with his head banged on the table. He was a brave warrior. He will be the bravest swordsman ever, and for the rest of his life.
And it was the injection that changed his life.
Bloodthirsty Demon asked me.
“What will you do for me if I teach that son of a bitch martial arts?”
A prepared answer came out of my mouth.
“I will let go of your long-held feelings.”
“!”
Bloodthirsty Doma will know what that means.
There was a brief moment of silence, and we drank again. We didn’t talk about teaching him martial arts anymore. We just drank quietly, talking about this and that.
When two more bottles of alcohol were empty, Ian passed out, and Jangho stayed until the end to be my drinking partner with Hyeolcheondoma.
I came out of the bar for a moment while drinking.
As I was standing there for a moment getting some fresh air, Hyeolcheon Doma came and stood next to me.
“You weren’t joking just now, were you?”
“Yes. I can’t let you learn the elder’s martial arts for free.”
Bloodthirsty Horse was silent for a while.
Does he really want reconciliation with Ilhwageomjeon?
Hyeolcheondoma, who was looking across the street, suddenly asked.
“Is that branch over there effective?”
“It’s going well.”
“No, I’m asking if it works. I’m asking if it helps raise your reputation.”
I guess they think I set it up to become popular.
“Yes. It is very helpful.”
I didn’t try to convince him that it was for the sake of the Magachon residents. He wouldn’t understand that helping them was just as important as killing the Demon Lord.
“Inspector Seo, please take good care of me.”
“I really do all sorts of things. What are you going to do while I leave Aesong in charge?”
“I’m busy.”
“What are you so busy with?”
“I have to think about how to kill those who are not human every day, I have to run here and there to save my right wing, I have to flatter my father.”
He noticed that the right wing was the Ilhwageomjeon.
“Then, by any chance… … will the left wing grow?”
“Yes. If you would like, I can change it to the right.”
Bloodthirsty Demon shook his head with a dumbfounded expression.
“You are truly a madman. To think that you can tie the Sword Master and me together under one wing.”
“You said that to me at first. If it was my madness, I could risk my fate. I wanted to devour everything with my madness. Have you already forgotten?”
“I didn’t know you were this crazy.”
“Let’s go crazy together. How much longer do you have left to live? Why hesitate?”
“Is that something you say to an adult?”
“Because he’s crazy.”
Bloodthirsty Demon smiled faintly.
“I will be leaving school soon and will be away for a couple of months. Please take good care of our children during this time.”
“I get it.”
I knew it without asking any questions. This one word, this short word, sounded so reassuring.
Through today’s drinking party, I feel that his door has opened a little more. However, I am still not sure what is inside that door.
To open the door wide, you need the other wing. When the two wings face each other and flap and fight, you will finally understand why that wing moves the way it does.
“It will stop raining soon. The birds will start flying around.”
I was on my way back with Ian after a drinking party.
“I made another mistake today.”
“What’s the mistake? If you drank that much, it’s natural for you to fall asleep.”
“Even sleeping is an injection.”
“You wouldn’t drink like that if it weren’t for my presence anyway, right?”
“That’s true, though.”
“Then it’s not an injection. It’s rest.”
Ian smiled at my words.
“How many times can I ask a question?”
“It depends on the question.”
“For example… …Why are you being so nice to me?”
I’m willing to be asked this question for the rest of my life.
“About five times?”
“From now on?”
“Okay, from now on.”
“Why are you being so nice to me?”
“I’m going to use you for the rest of my life. Why are you so curious about the same answer you keep hearing?”
Ian laughed bashfully.
“I’ll ask again.”
“Four left.”
So we walked together under the soft moonlight. Suddenly, as if a thought occurred to me, Ian asked.
“But what about Detective Seo? I saw you were really drunk earlier. Did you leave first?”
“That guy’s master took him away before you woke up.”
“Master?”
Ian’s eyes opened wide in surprise.
“No way! You went together?”
