The World’s Greatest Man is Dead Episode 075
“Whew.”
I sighed and went outside. The outside air was much cooler than the steel.
Inside, I really felt like I was going to die.
‘It was really crazy hot.’
The temperature was so high that it was hard to breathe just by walking.
It was nice that the inside was still cool, but it was even more miserable on the way back.
‘It was harder because I came out after being in the cold.’
I fanned my face with my hand. The wind felt quite cool.
As I was getting some fresh air, someone approached me.
It was a geometric and celestial pattern.
“Is the story over?”
“Oh, yes. Just now.”
“Are you okay?”
Cheon Ui-jin asked me with a worried face.
“Oh, yes. Well… … nothing much happened.”
He answered nonchalantly. Perhaps because he was in the same house as me, he seemed to not believe me at all.
“It was really nothing special.”
To be honest, it was there, but it’s not worth mentioning.
To be exact, it would be correct to say that this could not be said to Cheon Ui-jin and Do-hyeong.
I swallowed a sigh as I recalled my conversation with Dang Gyeong-ak.
‘… … He was a terrible old man.’
It was such a tough battle that I didn’t want to do it twice.
Yeah, I guess you could call it a battle.
I never thought I’d be able to fight the Poison King with words like that.
They fought without giving an inch of concession.
That’s how it ends.
‘We got the results.’
I got pretty good results. Oh, not just pretty results… … .
‘very good.’
I think it was a pretty good result.
[… … crazy guy.]
Yoo Cheon-gil, who was floating in the air, said to my reaction.
[You keep talking nonsense like you’re worried about me, or like I’m going to tear out the backbone of the family. You’re even worse.]
He pretended not to hear. He covered his ears as if he couldn’t hear, and Yoo Chun-gil clicked his tongue.
[Did you see that guy Tang’s expression? He keeps getting worse and worse. But that was a nice sight.]
I almost nodded without realizing it at Yoo Cheon-gil’s words.
It was certainly nice to see the Poison King’s expression ruined.
‘I originally planned to do it moderately, you know.’
That old man was the one who tried to do something to me first.
I don’t think I can just ignore it without knowing it.
So I just took it in.
‘I’m a really crazy guy too.’
How dare you argue with the Poison King right in front of you.
Even if I had a reason, it was nonsense.
Now that I’ve done that, it feels ridiculous.
[Tell me honestly. Did you have some fun too?]
Yoo Chun-gil said with a big smile. Of course, he didn’t answer this time either, and it was a question that didn’t need to be answered.
‘I don’t even want to enjoy it.’
I’m not a pervert and I don’t have anything to enjoy, so I wonder if I would enjoy this kind of thing.
At least I wasn’t.
I think it’s okay because the result was good.
It was something I didn’t want to do twice if possible.
‘… … I barely survived.’
It was a conversation where I stuck my neck out.
No matter how political it is, there is definitely a degree to it.
I didn’t know that the King would be able to send him off so safely after going through all that.
It’s fortunate that he came back alive.
I’m so glad I was able to come back safely.
‘I guess that means my existence is somewhat necessary.’
No matter how much I cross the line, there are things that I have to save.
“Hmm.”
What on earth is it? Why are you leaving me like this?
I have a question.
‘I am involved in opening the note.’
To be exact, it’s not me, but a descendant of the Black Sword.
It was clear that there was some connection.
‘What on earth is it?’

What on earth could possibly be causing this?
That was quite annoying though.
‘You’ll find out anyway.’
It was a fact that would come to light naturally in just a little while.
I finally accepted the King’s conditions.
The Poison King said he would finish preparations within a few days.
I don’t know how many days it takes to prepare for opening a notice.
I was worried that something strange might happen.
[Don’t worry.]
Yoo Chun-gil spoke calmly, as if he knew my worries.
[It’s not like there’s anything to do. Just eat, poop, and do other things while you wait.]
Yoo Cheon-gil tells me that, as if he already anticipated what I was going to do.
The choice of words is truly filthy, but ironically, it does give me some relief to hear it.
I found it quite funny that I was relieved by that crazy old man’s words.
“… … By the way, did you two enjoy the view?”
“Are you looking around?”
“Since you’re in the steel industry, you must have seen something.”
“ah.”
Cheon Ui-jin responds to my words with a bright voice.
“I saw it. It’s the first time I’ve seen so many silver-grade swords.”
Cheon Ui-jin spoke as if he was in awe, and Do-hyung still had a blank expression, but he felt something slightly reminded of him.
‘Is it a silver grade?’
Strictly speaking, it was a level that was considered a famous sword. Does that mean that there were a lot of such swords in the steel?
I was so out of it that I couldn’t even see that.
It didn’t really matter. I wasn’t really interested in weapons.
He said, stretching slightly to relieve his fatigue.
“They said they’d start repairing the full moon, and that it would take a few days at the most… … What should I do in the meantime?”
I ask questions but I don’t get an answer.
I added this in case you hadn’t heard.
“Senior?”
“……hmm?”
Only when I call out the shape does he look at me.
What are those eyes?
“So… … I asked what I should do from now on.”
“ah.”
At my words, Do-hyung’s expression changed belatedly. Could it be that he didn’t know that I was telling him?
‘This gentleman… … ?’
It seemed like he kept forgetting that he was the one in charge.
“Senior… … ?”
“hmm.”
What should I do? Do-hyung starts to worry about that.
But why are you worrying about that now?
Since he didn’t seem to be able to come up with an answer, I sighed and said to him.
“If you don’t have anything else to do, should you just practice?”
“Good idea.”
The figure immediately nodded in agreement with my opinion.
When the topic of training comes up, Cheon Ui-jin’s eyes also light up.
In my opinion, neither of them are in their right mind.
Is there anything to like so much about training stories?
anyway.
“Then, first of all, let’s move… … .”
“Can I come with you?”
Just as I was about to move, someone intervened.
I nodded at the beautiful voice.
I frowned when I saw the owner of the voice.
“… … Miss Dang?”
“hello.”
“… … .”
It was Dang Ye-ran whom I met last night and this morning.
I tilted my head as I watched her suddenly barging in.
‘what.’
Her sudden appearance was disconcerting, but her face was even more subtle.
It seemed like he had just been sweating, his hair and even his body were wet.
The hair stuck to her cheeks and her tired-looking expression somehow look fascinating.
Aside from that.
“Did you cry?”
“……yes?”
I looked into her eyes and asked, and Dang Ye-ran widened her eyes at my question.
“Oh, no? I’m crying.”
Dang Ye-ran smiles as if embarrassed.
I stared at it quietly and nodded.
“I see. I guess I saw something wrong.”
At first glance, it seemed like something was wrong, but since it wasn’t me, I decided to let it go.
If it’s something that makes you cry even if you don’t know what it is, it’s bound to be annoying.
I never wanted to get involved.
“By the way, are you going together?”
“I thought you were practicing. I was just about to go practice, so I thought it would be nice to go together.”
He approaches with a bright smile.
The fact that she often came walking seemed to show Dang Ye-ran’s personality.
But.
“ah.”
Dang Ye-ran, who was approaching, suddenly stops.
what?
As I was looking at her wondering why she was acting like that, Dang Ye-ran smiled awkwardly and spoke to me.
“I’m sorry… … I’m sweating a lot right now, so I think I might stink a little.”
As he says this, he takes a step back.
That appearance was timid, but somehow it felt close to me.
But by the way, that’s it.
“I’m sorry to say this, but I think it would be problematic for us to practice together.”
That side is the direct line of the Tang family.
We are people of Cheongwolmun. Since our martial arts are different, there were many problems with training together.
furthermore.
“The training room isn’t that big either.”
There is a designated training room, but it is not that large.
Would you say it’s a bit difficult for three people to practice?
When I brought up that issue, Dang Ye-ran suddenly clapped her hands.
“Then I’ll let you share the bloodline training room.”
“……yes?”
“It’s spacious there… … If practicing together is a problem… … Why don’t we just have a friendly meeting?”
“What is that… … .”
“What is it?”
“No?”
Although he was about to reject her outright because she was saying something ridiculous, Cheon Ui-jin and Do-hyeong reacted differently to Dang Ye-ran’s words.
“… … .”
I looked at it and wiped my face.
What do we do with these crazy people?
I couldn’t believe how he reacted like that as soon as I said “Bimoo”.
What should I do with this?
Just as I was thinking about it for a moment.
[Is that so?]
Yoo Cheon-gil said to me.
[I have nothing to do anyway, so there won’t be any problem if I go.]
“… … .”
That’s true. I don’t think it would be a problem if you went there.
‘Seeing that old man’s reaction makes me feel uneasy.’
The problem isn’t anything else, but Yoo Chun-gil’s reaction that we just saw is the biggest problem.
A face that seemed secretly excited. Even that attitude made me want to pretend like nothing happened.
That’s really annoying.
Are they up to something again?
If that f*cking old man had that face, something would definitely go off.
I was wondering if I really had to go through all this.
“… … Confucius… … .”
Dang Ye-ran spoke to me from a distance of two steps.
“yes?”
“Can we go together?”
Dang Ye-ran spoke again, knowing that I was worried.
So I asked.
“… …What is the reason?”
Why do you insist on going with me?
When asked about that, Dang Ye-ran smiled slightly and said.
“I want to become close with you, right? I’m also bored, and this is fate, isn’t it?”
“… … .”
It’s too ugly to be used as a reason.
We need to become closer, and we’re also bored, so let’s go practice together at the training ground?
This is the kind of thinking that only Cheon Ui-jin would have.
Even since yesterday, I’ve been annoyed by all the things like weddings and such, so if it were normal, I would have just said no.
‘This woman’s eyes are like a weapon.’
Looking into Dang Ye-ran’s eyes, it was difficult to speak.
Even though she said she didn’t cry, her eyes were slightly swollen and her pupils were secretly wet.
A hint of sadness spread across her face, and combined with Dang Ye-ran’s charm, it became quite a powerful weapon.
I just looked at it and muttered.
You have to refuse. You have to refuse.
I kept making that promise over and over again.
“Your Majesty the Prince?”
“… … Are you just doing it once?”
“yes!”
I gave permission without knowing it.
Is this because I’m tired from fighting with the Dangkyungak and Gi? I did something I don’t usually do.
‘Yeah, I have nothing to do anyway.’
I can probably do this much, I try to rationalize it to myself.
‘I still haven’t broken this habit.’
I already knew without much difficulty why I ended up like this.
It’s been like that since ancient times.
‘Please… … Please, can you not go? I’m begging you like this… … .’
I was weak towards people who cried.
That too, a lot.

A land in Sacheon.
Now, it was barely possible to enter Sacheon.
Away from the sparsely populated areas, we are now starting to see more and more crowded places.
A huge carriage appears there.
Heeeeeeling—!!
Three or four horses, clearly incomparable to any other horses, line up to pull the carriage.
Every time the carriage passed, the animals held their breath.
The herbalists who were secretly climbing the mountain looked at it as if it was a novelty.
Where else can you see such a luxurious carriage? I looked at it with such a sense of wonder.
I wondered who on earth was riding inside.
The carriage that attracts so much attention continues on the road without stopping.
It wasn’t easy. The destination was getting closer and closer, but the carriage owner’s mind was becoming more and more tense.
The man riding in the carriage opened his mouth cautiously.
“……miss.”
The woman who was looking out the window moves her head in response to the man’s question.
The eyes that glanced at the man were very beautiful.
“yes.”
The man flinched without realizing it at the light-hearted answer.
It was because the voice he spoke in was so cold.
At this point, it’s best to just keep your mouth shut.
Statistics from many experiences over the years tell men so.
“… … I think it would be better to contact them in advance.”
The man couldn’t do that. This time especially.
“Why?”
The woman spoke as if to say something, and the man, as if he had been waiting to hear her, recited his thoughts.
“After all, Sacheon is also the territory of the Tang family… … The fact that we went without any notice would not look good to them… … .”
“So?”
“So, please send me some contact, even if it’s just a little bit… … .”
The man spoke carefully.
But my throat still felt dry. I knew it was meaningless.
Because that woman would know the reason anyway.
The most painful thing was having to say it even though I knew it all.
“Honey… … Miss… … .”
“I won’t send the letter.”
At those words, the man tightly shut his eyes.
As expected, the woman’s answer did not change.
“……but…….”
“He’s a smart guy, so if you do that, it’s obvious he’ll run away right away. I’m sorry to the party, but you can go and talk to him nicely. If it comes down to it, you can sell him out.”
There was a firmness in the woman’s voice, as if she would not listen to anything else.
and.
“Who would have thought that after going all the way to Anhui to find him, he would have run away to Sichuan? Even Mujeong would think so, right?”
The strongest emotion in that voice was clearly anger.
“… … That is… … .”
“… … Really, you’re good at running away?”
Thud.
I heard something break.
The man glanced at the source of the noise with squinted eyes.
The hairpin in the woman’s hand broke.
“… … Try running away somewhere.”
Yes, with his white hands shaking with anger.
“I will catch you no matter what.”
I reaffirmed the same resolution I had made hundreds of times.
