Absolute Regression Chapter 77

Episode 77 Who will take that position?

Today I brought all my people.

From Hyeolcheon Doma, who suggested this thod, to Ilhwa Geomjon Ian and Seo Dae-ryong, and Demon Lord Jang Ho.

I didn’t tell the rest of the people why I was visiting Pungcheon Bridge. It was because they didn’t want to do anything intentionally. Today there is no need to persuade or impress. You just have to show it as it is.

“I guess so precious guests ca with us. “Welco everyone!”

The leader of Pungcheon welcod us with his arms wide open and seed to be in the best mood since we t.

I made a big mistake with the shackled man, but have they already made up?

“Suddenly I felt excited and went to visit with the people I was with. “Please forgive my rudeness.”

“It’s okay. “Isn’t this an opportunity to interact with the leaders of Protestantism?”

“You have the sa heart as Hahae.”

Among the people who ca together, the first person to greet was Hyeolcheon Doma.

“Nice to et you.”

“Welco.”

Of course, the leader of the Pungcheon Church was well acquainted with the Mazons.

“I heard that your friendship with Gong Lee has deepened recently.”

“You heard wrong. “It’s not just that our friendship has deepened, but I am Lee Gongja’s left wing.”

We talked about wings comfortably as if it were a joke, but I had no idea that Hyeolcheondoma would say this to soone else.

Perhaps he was trying to show the shackled man that he trusted the sword dance. I didn’t even expect it to look like this, so how surprised was Ilhwa Geomzon who ca with ?

I knew she wouldn’t want to do this, but I asked her to take this opportunity to see Hyeolcheon Doma one more ti. I also had the will to make her mine.

Ilhwa Geomzon, who looked at Hyeolcheon Doma with a surprised face for a mont, said to the Pungcheon religious leader.

“But that doesn’t an I’m on the right wing.”

It was her will that did not want to beco entangled with Hyeolcheon Doma in any way, but the leader of Pungcheon took it as a witty joke and expressed his gratitude to her.

“I heard that Cheongseon was of great help in becoming a mazon this ti.”

“I did this because I trusted Lee Gong-ja.”

She gave the credit. There’s one more thing.

“And Thomas was a great help. “I received an abstention vote, but Senior Doma received a full vote.”

Although she did not ntion any specific nas, she made it clear that she got her vote thanks to Thomas. No matter how much she disliked Domara, it was her personality that she felt uncomfortable when soone else took credit, so she couldn’t just do it.

It was my first ti hearing this too. Of course, I thought Ilhwa Geomzone secured one vote and Hyeolcheon Doma produced an abstention vote.

But Hyeolcheondoma secured one vote? Even so, this eccentric old man ca to see and didn’t even show condescension.

I sent a ssage to Hyeolcheon Doma.

―I heard you are ostracized?

―I guess it was so pitiful that soone helped him.

―If you get bullied just twice, I will bring all the Magons to their knees.

-There is no need to ask for a favor again.

-thank you.

-That’s it.

The leader of the Pungcheon Church expressed his gratitude by handing over Hyeolcheon Doma.

“Better than my friend.”

“Isn’t it strange to find a friend in Gangho in the first place? We et and break up depending on the need. “Living like that makes life cleaner in many ways.”

“I will not forget your good teachings.”

The two Majons ended their greetings, and this ti Jangho greeted him.

“This is Demon Lord Jangho. “It’s an honor to et you.”

“It is rather an honor to see the brave Demon Lord like this.”

“I begged Prince Lee to let see the new supre being.”

“It’s just a false na, so I hope you don’t disappoint.”

Jangho heard my request and followed without asking why. This dependability, as if he would silently accomplish any task he was entrusted with, was sothing special that only a person nad Jang Ho had.

Next, Seo Dae-ryong greeted.

“I don’t know if I can join in here, but I am Seo Dae-ryong, the Hwangcheongak investigator.”

“I know you well. “He’s our scientist’s right hand man, right?”

Then Seo Dae-ryong opened his eyes and looked at . Did you really say all that? I said with a smile on his face.

“I guess everyone really thinks that way, seeing as they know without having to say it.”

The last person to say hello was Ian.

“My na is Ian, and I am your assistant. “It’s an honor to et you.”

“It’s been a long ti since you saw those energetic eyes.”

“Thank you for a good look.”

Her spirit, which has been in deep training, has been like a sword these days.

A sharp force that seems to cut anyone.

Her task from now on was how to lower this expectation.

“If the inspector over there is my right-hand man, then Ian here is like my heart.”

Ian was embarrassed when I said that in front of everyone. Her face turned red, but I spoke confidently, as if making a declaration.

“Everyone, please know. Ian is the heart.”

Speaking in private and speaking in front of people are truly as different as heaven and earth. If you can say sothing when it’s just the two of you, you should be able to say it in front of everyone. That kind of relationship is a real relationship.

However, in normal cases, it is not easy to find such a relationship. It’s really not that easy.

In that sense, eting Ian can be said to be a great blessing for . It’s not just because of the life debt before returning. As I told my father, it was because she was a great person.

A person who can sacrifice his life for soone while hiding nine tails.

She revealed that because she beca close to . Otherwise, she would have hidden her fox identity for the rest of her life and perford her duties like a bear.

“But you don’t have to throw yourself on the line for . It ans that just because soone thinks highly of , I don’t have to sacrifice for that person. You can’t forget it. “The two are definitely separate.”

These were my values regarding superiors and subordinates.

This was said to Ian, but it was also said to the shackled man.

The leader of Pungcheon was impressed.

“I’m jealous that there’s soone who can praise like this.”

A man in shackles was seen over his shoulder. What is he thinking?

“I can’t just sit there when Duke Lee boasts about his subordinates like this. Now, let introduce soone too. “The person wearing the shackles over there is this person’s right arm.”

I was secretly surprised. The leader of Pungcheon had never greeted a man in shackles before, but he introduced him today. Moreover, he even expressed himself as a right-hand man. It was clear that sothing had changed between the two after the slip of the tongue.

Hyeolcheondoma asked openly.

“How could you have shackled the man who was your right hand man?”

“I held him by force because he was soone who would ascend to heaven if I looked away even for a mont.”

“Shouldn’t those who are to be ascended be ascended?”

“That’s easier said than done.”

Hyeolcheondoma nodded with an expression that he understood everything.

“That’s right. “These monsters are so unruly that humans like us can’t easily handle them.”

And then, Hyeolcheondoma looked at . He told to release the person I wanted to send, and at the sa ti praised him for saying that I was the dragon that would ascend to heaven.

Hyeolcheon Doma is really quick-witted and good at understanding the mood.

If he had been just ten or twenty years younger, he might have used Hyeolcheondoma as a soldier. Of course, he would jump up and say he would never do that.

anwhile, the drinking table was set.

We sat around and poured drinks for each other.

I don’t think fate controls everything about humans. Fate only provides us with opportunities. It is up to the person to judge and seize that opportunity.

We did a lot of research and prepared for a return, but the shackled man was missing. Even though he is soone who may play a really important role in my life after I return.

But it’s okay.

Rather, this situation was created because I did not know or prepare in advance. A place where I can learn who I am and ultimately make reflect on myself.

Ian opened the first gun today.

After a few drinks had passed, Ian cautiously stepped out.

“Do you mind if I offer him a drink?”

The person she was talking about was the man in shackles. It was sothing I didn’t ask to do. The other day, because I gave him alcohol, the Pungcheon leader made a big mistake.

Ian, unaware of that fact, was making the sa suggestion.

The leader of the Pungcheon Church spoke with a smile, unlike the reaction he gave earlier.

“That person will like it too.”

It has definitely changed. What on earth happened?

Ian took the bottle and glass, poured him a drink, and asked politely.

“Are you guarding this bell?”

It seed like he wasn’t going to answer, but unexpectedly the man in shackles opened his mouth.

“It was like that at first… but now the servant is protecting .”

Ian continued the conversation, whether or not he knew how valuable this answer was.

“It’s similar to .”

The shackled man slowly raised his head and looked at her.

“At first, I protected you, but now you protect .”

I saw. A slight smile appears on the shackled man’s lips. That must have been why. The reason Ian was able to continue speaking naturally was.

“That servant doesn’t tell the warrior to leave, does he? Our master keeps telling to leave. I want you to live my life. Is that really so? Or are you trying to send out because you don’t like ?”

Then the shackled man answered her question again.

“I wouldn’t say it’s my heart in front of everyone when I send soone out because I don’t like them.”

It was a new look for the shackled man. Because I’ve already answered Ian’s question twice.

Just like Ian’s question in the first place, I thought that the shackled man’s answer might be directed at rather than at Ian.

“Oh, I guess so, right?”

Ian looked in my direction. I now felt her unfolding another tail. They must have had a feeling that the reason they had brought them here had sothing to do with this man. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had this conversation with the shackled man.

I tapped my heart twice and then pointed at her.

Ian smiled broadly.

“You’re acting like that so much that it seems like a joke.”

Seo Dae-ryong, who was sitting at that ti, went there with his drink and joined them. It moved so naturally that there was no need to stop it.

Seo Dae-ryong sat down next to Ian and said.

“I think it’s because you’re so worried about this warrior.”

“?”

“yes. From what I have observed so far, I see that you have a strong desire for your subordinates not to die. It’s like a parent’s wish for a good life after leaving the difficult life of Dosangeomlim. “I think it was because of those concerns that I had Master learn martial arts.”

“Ah! “Maybe so.”

Ian looked at again. Since she was a person who had learned the Bicheon Sword Technique, of course those words must have sounded plausible.

I told her.

“It’s a misunderstanding. I’m teaching you so that I can treat you properly in the future. “If you are that naive, you will be taken advantage of for the rest of your life!”

Then Seo Dae-ryong answered on her behalf.

“When you work, there are tis when you feel more comfortable working under soone who properly takes care of you. “It’s even harder when you’re under a clumsy and indecisive leader.”

Ian held out his glass as if he sympathized, and Seo Dae-ryong made a toast.

“Why does Inspector Seo like our master so much?”

“Do I look like I like it?”

“Otherwise you wouldn’t have co here, right?”

Ian could see through Seo Dae-ryong’s personality at a glance.

That was correct. He, who dislikes standing out and being dangerous, showed his own courage by voluntarily going to sit next to Ian.

“Because I’m your right hand man.”

Although it was said as a joke, many of Seo Dae-ryong’s feelings were contained in those words.

It was right then. The shackled man raised his head and asked softly.

“What if soone tries to take that right-hand man position?”

It wasn’t an answer to the question, but what he said first. Those first words were so provocative.

Seo Dae-ryong was surprised by the unexpected question. The shackled man’s eyes, visible through his flowing hair, were intense.

Seo Dae-ryong’s complicated feelings were revealed on his face as he wondered what to answer, and then he answered calmly.

“I don’t think I can fight back because I’m timid and scared. Tell them to occupy it. I’m working hard to prepare for that day and beco soone’s right hand man. Fortunately, everyone has a right arm.”

In response, the shackled man’s provocative gaze cald down.

On the other hand, Hyeolcheondoma made a bewildered expression because he knew that he was the one who was the subject of the joke. I said while looking at the blood chopping board.

“Grow up well.”

“hate.”

At that ti, Demon Lord Jangho looked in their direction and said sothing unexpected.

“I am in line to be the next right-hand man. The inspector may pass on the position because he likes people, but I will not hand over the right-hand man position to just anyone.”

It was the mont when Jangho revealed a new side.
