Absolute Regression

Episode 303: Our relationship is as light as a feather.

The place where Extreme Evil Soma was located was on top of a giant stone statue erected in the Great Hall.

I was sitting on the tip of the demon statue’s outstretched finger, and Extreme Evil Soma was standing next to me. Looking down from there, I could see the magnificent and splendid night scenery of Cheonma Shinyo Bridge at a glance.

They asked us to stay up all night, but what would we do? Being with Extreme Soma like this was like having fun.

Suddenly, I remembered my first meeting with him.

The first words spoken to him as he stood alone in the white room were assimilated.

―What are you looking at?

Then, Extreme Soma answered like this:

-I wasn’t seeing anything.

Now I asked him again.

“What are you looking at?”

Then Extreme Soma answered.

“I’m watching you fool around. Do you see the guy with the torch under the western wall over there? “I was originally patrolling back and forth from there to there, but since a while ago, I’ve been squatting in the middle and resting.”

I laughed out loud at the unexpected answer. He smiles with joy at his change.

Thanks to the new eyesight technique, I was able to see the bored expression of the drone, who looked as small as an ant. My voice flew to him. It was a Cheonri-jeon-eum technique that I was able to practice as I reached the level of inner strength and martial arts.

-You need to stop fooling around. Because a scary person is watching.

At my urging, he jumped up and started moving.

“I guess you heard what Soma said. “Your ears are bright, too.”

Even with my joke, Extreme Soma couldn’t hide his surprised eyes. I realized that I had sent a telegram. Because he was the person who knew my skills best.

Our eyes turned again to the disciplined man. When his patrol was repeated twice, Extreme Soma suddenly spoke.

“If it wasn’t for Master Xiao, I would have died at that time.”

Being indebted to someone can definitely work to your advantage in a relationship. If it’s a life debt, there’s no need to say anything.

However, I don’t want to have a relationship like this, especially with the extreme evil soma. I actually thought that this life debt was a hindrance to our relationship.

“If it weren’t for me, there wouldn’t have been a risk of dying in the first place.”

I stood up from where I was sitting and looked at Extreme Soma.

I told him my true feelings.

“I hope Soma doesn’t think he owes me his life.”

“Why?”

“Because then the relationship becomes heavy. The moment you feel indebted to someone, your relationship will be distorted in some way. If you want to vent your frustration or swear something, you can’t do that, right? But I want to do it. If Soma is doing something wrong, he won’t hesitate to criticize him. I want to hear that curse too. I want you to criticize me when I do something wrong. Because he was the one who saved my life. So I don’t want to be in a relationship where I hold back on what I want to say.”

I continued speaking as I saw Extreme Evil Soma’s eyes deepen.

“I think that a truly long-lasting relationship is as light as a feather. When the wind blows, it flies away spinning in the air, and when the wind stops, it gently falls back to its place, like a feather. I don’t want to build an impregnable castle with the Extreme Demon. It might be good at first. It feels like the relationship is standing tall. But later, when it comes to the bricks used to build the castle, the question is, ‘What should I do this time to impress?’ It must be a burden. ‘I thought we were this close, but you thought of me like this?’ It must be such a disappointment. “I just hope that our relationship is as light as a feather and that I can see it comfortably until I die.”

Extreme Soma’s eyes shined brightly.

until the death.

I hope he realizes that the core of what I said is these five letters. I hope you know that this is a relationship I want to be with until the end.

And Extreme Soma understood my true feelings well.

“I almost died because of you. “Buy me a drink later.”

This is why I like Extreme Soma.

I answered with a big smile.

“That’s right. “When will you find time to go see Lord Cheonhwaru?”

That was the place where the evil Soma became Soma and drank alcohol most comfortably.

We stood at the tip of the demon’s finger and watched the deepening night view of the Heavenly Demon Church.

* * *

The first place I visited the next morning was Donggwonmun Gate. After seeing my father and meeting Hyeolcheon Doma, I have to go say hello to my master.

“Master!”

Even in Gwonma’s residence, a scene as unfamiliar as Hyeolcheondoma’s flower garden was unfolding.

Gwonma and Ian were rubbing.

It was not teaching martial arts. He was countering Ian’s Bicheon Sword Technique with his Wall Force Sura Fist.

Is there any training more helpful than actual fighting with a horse? It occurred to me that I would be able to achieve great success in Bicheon Sword Technique faster than I thought. If she achieves greatness, no expert will be able to kill her unless she is a mazon-level expert.

Everyone I met was into martial arts. I thought that maybe the impending fate was pushing us into the middle of a big fight.

Since I knew the two martial arts well, watching them fight naturally led to this assumption.

What if it was me?

I became the main character of this dance. He became Ian, who wields a sword, and then he becomes a horseman, who swings his fists. My image overlapped with the two people dancing. Sometimes it was the same movement, and sometimes it was a different movement.

At the end of my imagination, I even imagined dealing with two people at once. I fought with Gwonma using Bicheongeombeop, and I fought with Ian using martial arts.

A fierce battle between two and one.

When the fight was over, I saved the enlightenment I gained from this imagination. At my current level, I was achieving this kind of non-academic achievement even in the martial arts that I watched without even thinking about it.

When I opened my eyes, Gwonma and Ian, who had finished dancing, were looking at me. You probably think you closed your eyes to avoid seeing the rain.

“Master.”

“Are you here?”

When we exchanged greetings with the horse, Ian greeted us warmly.

“young master.”

“Ian. “You can’t treat me like a father!”

I felt that Ian wanted to respond to my joke. However, since it was in front of a horse, I could feel that it was difficult to hold back.

If it were just the two of me, I’d probably say, ‘Ah! He must have joked, “Do I have to defy heavenly law to become stronger?”

“My father is very jealous of you.”

“me?”

“I have a daughter. Actually, I would be like that too. Me or my brother? “Ian is 100 times better.”

Ian’s face flushed slightly.

“Did the religious leader really say that?”

Ever since her father allowed Ian to learn the Bicheon Sword Technique, he has been an absolute figure to her.

“He might ask you to have a fight with Master sometime soon. “Let’s make that foster daughter my daughter.”

The horse accepted my joke.

“Tell her not to covet my daughter.”

Since Gwonma was not the type of person who usually said things like this, Ian’s face turned even redder as he was so moved.

“Then let’s talk.”

Ian made way for me.

Gwonma took me with him and left the residence.

“I have somewhere to go with you for a while.”

The place we arrived with Gwonma was in front of the lodgings where the demons of Donggwonmun were staying. When Gwonma and I visited that place unexpectedly, the demons were surprised.

All the horsemen passing by politely waved their arms and showed courtesy.

“Ask everyone to come out.”

At the command of the Gwon Demon, all the demons of the Dong Gwon clan gathered at the training hall. From the demons of the White Fist to the Demons of the Blue Fist and the highest of the Black Fist, all gathered together. Among them was Cheon So-hee.

Since this was the first time that a magician had come here and convened a gathering, all the magicians were nervous.

As the horse gained momentum, the surrounding air became cold and heavy. This emphasizes how important the presentation I am about to make is. At that breathtaking moment, an amazing announcement was made.

“From this time today, I will make Cheon So-hee my second disciple and at the same time decide on her as the next martial artist.”

Everyone was surprised by the unexpected declaration.

Cheon So-hee was so shocked that she stood there in a daze with her eyes wide open and her mouth open.

She came to her senses late and knelt down to show respect.

“I don’t know what to do because such an important position has been handed over to me despite my shortcomings. “I will work hard and never disappoint you.”

Her voice trembled. You probably have no idea what you just said.

Of course, she was the person who was most disappointed after Ian became his foster daughter. You would have thought that Gwonma’s successor would now be Ian. That’s why her surprise was even greater.

“I believe you will do well.”

At those words, Sohee Cheon shed tears of joy. At this moment, I could feel what kind of determination she was making.

Everyone cheered and congratulated her. She was the most skilled in the Dongkwonmun. Therefore, this decision was a decision that followed the trend, and although there may be people who are internally dissatisfied, they would not dare to show it outwardly.

“Congratulations Samae.”

My congratulations will also give great support to this decision. Because the next religious leader was congratulating her.

“Thank you, Master So.”

“Now we should call it the death penalty.”

“…execution.”

Gwon Ma, who announced his successor so unexpectedly, quickly left. I also followed him out there.

“Why did you bring me here?”

“So Sohee will think you influenced this decision?”

It was consideration for me. They took me with them to ask the next Kwonma to take good care of the next religious leader.

“I never thought our master would be such a meticulous person!”

Come to think of it, all Mazons have their own uniqueness and meticulousness. Well, they were people who had put in an effort that was incomparable to that of an ordinary warrior, and it was not an easy position for them to achieve with their clumsy personalities.

“Well done. “Samae will become a better horse than anyone else.”

I thought of Cheon So-hee, who inherited all of Gwonma’s martial arts skills. That would be really cool. Because she will be the person better suited to that position than anyone else.

“Isn’t the religious leader happy to come back and say hello?”

“They also let us see Cheonma Bogo.”

“They recognized me as the true successor.”

“I’m grateful for that…”

I paused for a moment. I had something to say to Gwonma regarding the Cheonma report. This was something to say to the Demon Lord, not to other Mazon.

“When I saw the elixirs prepared in the report, I could tell that my father was preparing for war.”

Gwonma said nothing. He who has his father’s trust, how could he not know that fact? If war breaks out, the leader will be Kwon Il.

“I have a favor to ask Master. “This may be a very difficult request.”

“Tell me.”

“If my father decides to push out the Murim Alliance and the Apostolic Alliance, I will be the first among the Magons to reveal my intention to my master.”

The horse just listened to me in silence.

“I wouldn’t dare ask you to go against your father’s will. Master, you are not the kind of person who will bend your will even if I ask you to do so.”

“Then what is your request?”

“Please let me know. “I will do my best to persuade my father and stop him, so just let me know.”

This alone was an extremely burdensome request. Because it would be like revealing something important to me. Besides, I don’t know how I can stop my father.

Nevertheless, Gwonma accepted my request.

“I’ll tell you.”

Didn’t say anything else. There was no condescension to how difficult this was. This is the true face of a man named Gwon Ma.

“thank you.”

I also bowed my head politely without saying another word.

As I said goodbye to Gwonma and left through the East Gate, Ian was waiting at the entrance.

“Before, I couldn’t ask comfortably because my father was there. “Did you handle the Gangseo District matter well?”

I walked up to her, looked at her face, and asked.

“Honestly, you weren’t worried about me at all, right?”

“ah! Should I have done it?”

Although he reacted like a joke, I could sense that he wasn’t worried at all.

“I miss the times when I was just stamping my feet and worrying about myself.”

“Did I do that? “I don’t remember much.”

She also took my joke as a joke.

“The only thing I vaguely remember is someone saying, ‘Find happiness in your life!’”

“I don’t know who it is, but I’m sure they didn’t mean to be this happy.”

Ian smiled brightly, knowing that it was a compliment that he was doing so well.

“How do you feel about having a father?”

“I’m shocked. “This is the moment when I need your advice.”

“I’ve never been a parent either.”

However, if the relationship between parents and children is ultimately a relationship between people, I would like to say this to Ian.

“If you try too hard, Master will also feel burdened. lets think. I liked you so much that I made you my daughter. But I’m trying too hard to do well and I’m rigid because of what others think. I wish? Otherwise, it’s infinitely bright and cheerful. When we meet, it’s so funny that I just burst out laughing. And then I make mistakes. are you okay. because? Because they are children. So, don’t miss the opportunity to make people laugh. Make your father laugh “I think the answer to their relationship can be found there.”

Ian said with a suspicious look in his eyes.

“You have children, right? “There are about five kids hidden somewhere, right?”

“What if you think a guy like me is about five years older? “Oh, it’s terrible.”

“Why is it terrible? “I feel really reassured.”

Ian’s face turned red as he spoke inadvertently. For a moment, I think she imagined those children as mine and her children.

She quickly changed the topic.

“I’m talking about Captain Lee of Gwiyoungdae. “I would like to bring the younger brother of the ghost I saw before.”

“Use your judgment.”

The moment finally came when Seojin came into my life. Whether she would come was up to Ian.

As I was leaving the East Gate after breaking up with Ian, someone spoke from the roof.

“Since you’re so busy, when are you going to come see me?”

It was Chuma’s voice.

I walked without looking up.

“Wait in line.”

I felt the horse walking along the roof.

“The line is too long. Where are you going now? Poison King? Geomzone? Archduke? Mabul? Netherfootnote? “Demon Lord?”

There was no mention of Hyeolcheondoma and the powerful Soma. I knew I had already met them.

“Are you upset? “Why didn’t you go see your brother first?”

“I’m disappointed. “We have to take care of the elderly first.”

“Okay, if I wait, I’ll go. “What’s the rush that brings you here?”

Hyeolcheondoma told me that Chwima was waiting for me. That’s why I told you to take care of it. The fact that you’re doing this clearly means you have something to talk about. I told a joke that only horses can tell.

“what? “Did you make some mistake while being sober?”

Chuma smiled slightly at those words.

As he was about to say something, he looked behind me and said.

“The line is really long. See you later.”

When I turned around, I saw an unexpected person walking this way. In fact, the other person was someone who was not even among the people Chwima had mentioned earlier. She was none other than Seophonmazon Cheongseon.

She slowly walked towards me and said with a serious face.

“I have something to discuss with you, Lord.”
