Chapter 14: Should I just like it?

I stuck to Cheon Hye-rin, who was embarrassed, and held her hand.

I slide my fingers in between hers.

“…Ugh.”

The response comes back as is.

Cheon Hye-rin’s hand, which had been stiff and rigid, gradually grabs me softly as if she had understood my intention.

Now… she doesn’t push me away anymore.

She doesn’t even pretend to push me away on the outside.

Each other, it means that we have now become a relationship where we allow each other this much when we are alone.
“
“

This is quite troublesome.

I look at Cheon Hye-rin and me who is clinging next to me.

Even after entering a suitable place, she did not let go of my arm.

She holds it tightly as if it were precious and doesn’t think of letting it go.

“Th, my dear.”

A completely captured face.

The way her pupils shake as I get a little closer is caught in my sight.

A burning blush stands out.

Her perked ears twitch and turn towards me.

Cheon Hye-rin was tightly holding my arm with a completely different appearance from the strong appearance she had shown so far.

She was the one who had made so many contributions on the battlefield, but now she was clinging to my arm and was a weak figure who didn’t know what to do.
“
“

Her wavering eyes were looking up at me.

Just looking up at me, unable to say anything… she was just staring blankly.

A soft blush was slightly spread across her face, and her moving lips hesitated.

It was as if she wanted to say something, but she repeated opening and closing her lips again, and she was in a state where she didn’t even know what to do.

The image of the Sword Empress, who had always shown a resolute and strong appearance, had disappeared without a trace, and now only the image of a woman who was deeply in love remained.

“Th… other people may come out soon.”

“…!”

Then I released Cheon Hye-rin’s hand slightly and said.

She released her arm belatedly at my words.

“Th, th….. I couldn’t help it. I have to, have to… calm down…”

“Yes?”

“Those words weren’t for you. It’s just that… the sound of my heart seemed to have gotten louder.”

“…Was it noisy?”

“A, no! Not yours…! M, my heart was noisy.”

“Um, would you like to feel it once?”

Words that popped out without me knowing as a spinal reflex.

This was not what I wanted.

It was just that the words came out of my mouth without thinking about how to accept them.

Cheon Hye-rin, who was making an expression full of worries for a moment.

Then, she slowly raises her hand to my chest along with a beautiful voice.

“…I, I understand.”
“
“

“Wait a minute… wait, I have to take off these gloves.”

“Wh… why? Why are you taking off your glov…es?”

Cheon Hye-rin’s tone, which suddenly became serious.

“This is a chance to touch your body after a long time. I can’t let such useless things get in the way.”

She says that with a 100% serious face.

No.

A crazy person…!

Gloves have a great meaning for the leader.

It symbolizes the severance from her past self, the acceptance of a new identity, and the meaning of breaking away from the weak self of the past…

She doesn’t show her bare hands.

Revealing her bare hands is the same as acknowledging her past self… it is an act that she never allows…

“Haa… Haa… My dear, then… I’ll try touching it.”

Cheon Hye-rin muttered as she covered her large chest with her hands with a somewhat awkward expression and walked forward.

Her steps were strangely cautious, and she was slightly shrinking her body as if she was very embarrassed by this situation.

…But she doesn’t hesitate.

It is caught in my sight that she is expecting something a lot.

She breathes heavily to the point of raising and lowering her large chest, unlike herself.

An expression of a type that was troubled by everyone.

It’s like the words “Looks delicious…” are written on it.

At that moment, Cheon Hye-rin’s hand covered my heart.

“Th… perhaps, Yu Jin.”

“…Yes.”

Cheon Hye-rin barely squeezed out those words.

And then, the impressions she says slowly. The way her face was flushed was more cute than I had imagined.

“…Y, you’re… beating fa, fast.”

“Of course…well.”

“Th, you. Don’t hold my hand. At this distance…. then it’s hard to hold back.”
“
“

Cheon Hye-rin whispered like that and finally grabbed my hand.

Pushing her slender fingers in like I did before and interlocking them.

If there is anything different from before…. It’s just that I can clearly feel her smooth skin.

I had secretly done it when we were alone. I never imagined that I would pay it back like this.

‘….But what is she holding back?’

After breaking away from him, Cheon Hye-rin carefully swept her disheveled hair back.

For some reason, it feels like the heat is rising all the way up to her neck and it’s reddened.

‘…He was beating very hard.”

She still couldn’t forget the warmth of him that she felt from her fingertips.

Showing her ‘bare hands’ was something that she had only done a few times in her life.

It was an act that she did without thinking about the aftermath, with the single thought that she wanted to hear the sound of his beating… more clearly.

Cheon Hye-rin lightly stroked the back of her hand.

At the same time as being 감화 by his warmth. It makes her chest stuffy.

She had felt these unfamiliar emotions until now.

She also gets angry when he gets hurt a little and pushes himself too hard. No, it boils over.

But… in the end, all of it makes her heart tremble a lot because he said that he just wanted to look better to her.

His shy and embarrassed appearance didn’t leave her head.

Even today, he boldly held out his sword in front of her. The appearance of showing proof that his heart would not be shaken by something like this is vivid.

…There, he even told her to feel his heartbeat directly.

‘…The heart of a taken hostage… is so easily shaken.’

She is also too smitten with him and sees him as a man without any flaws.

The throbbing that was felt even on the back of her hand.

The same heavy breathing as herself.
“
…At that moment, she could be sure of only one thing.

The fact that the existence called him was very much in love with her.

Perhaps it looked even more so because he showed the same reaction as herself.

He no longer hid his heart. He came closer actively.

A man who threw away all of his martial arts and chased after love.

He didn’t even have much power to begin with, so how could he sacrifice himself so much from the realm he had just started to reach.

As the Sword Empress, she couldn’t understand him at all.

But now…. She felt like she knew that fact.

She falls completely.

-!!!!

Her heart aches as if it is being strangled.

‘In the future… anything. I’ll do it for you.’

She repeats the oath that she will never forget forever in the future.

Even if it is a matter of life and death.

…Whether it’s having a child with her and leaving the Murim.

She put her gloves back on and promised.

“O, only on the condition that we keep meeting just the two of us… that’s it.”

Now she has become a body that cannot live if his existence is not there.

…At least if she meets him alone every other day, it felt like her beating heart would calm down.

Grey hair.

A huge build, a wrinkled face.

Elder, Cheol Mu-san, put down the glass and started talking.

“I’m sure the desire to have a disciple will go somewhere. It doesn’t matter if you want to help him if you want to help him.”

The Small Heavenly Demon, Hong Yeon, blinked her eyes at the suddenly taken out words.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden.”

“I know. The fist of Divine Art… but I heard an interesting rumor.”

Cheon Mu-san, who had a pipe in his mouth, hehe raised the corners of his lips.

“Seeing is believing. The Demonic Cult is no different from a crisis right now. I think it’s worth raising him as a hidden sword.”
“1”

‘…I didn’t feel any sign of that.’

“If you can’t feel it yourself, it’s useless to talk about it a hundred times. At least you have to give that guy a sense of crisis and make him desperate.”
“

“To accept that arrogant child as a disciple?”

“No matter how ugly the guy looks. If he’s needed, he’s needed.

If you teach him little by little according to your taste, he’ll be able to jump over the wall before you know it.

Do you know that the Sword Empress, who started from the basics, cut down the mountain with one sword on the last day?”

“…Everyone knows that fact, but that alone is not a reason to-“

“You want to complete the Demonic Divine Art, don’t you.”
“

“If you had a teacher from the beginning… you would have become more than twice as strong as you are now.”

“I’m not denying it, but. What’s the reason for saying this. Are you telling me to accept a child with no pedigree as a disciple?”

“Don’t be too nervous. Anyway, it will end with that if that guy’s vessel or capacity is insufficient.”
“

“Hoo, you’re making an expression that you’re somewhat interested. It seems that you didn’t dislike that man in your own way.”

“It wouldn’t be bad. But he’s an outsider. Even if you teach him the mysteries of Divine Art carelessly…”

“Hehe, even if you spread the secret books around, there probably won’t be one guy who can really use Divine Art among 10,000 people.”

“…I’m not denying the fact that I regret it, but that doesn’t mean that I have to make that arrogant guy my disciple.”

“Well, let’s make a bet. I’ll bet this bottle of alcohol that he will accept that guy as a disciple.”
“1”
“

“If I had gone back to the past… I would have awakened the method of handling magic right away. And I would have trained the mental method and stamina harshly all day long.”

“What are you trying to say?”

“That guy, maybe he was born with fate.”

Hong Yeon frowned at his frank words.

“It sounds like a Cheonsalgoseong has come down.”

“That’s not it, but he’s a similar guy.”

“There’s no way. The aura of magic is clearly…”

“Yu Jin, that guy is from a commoner’s background. But the important thing is, how could a guy who is at least a top-notch level have awakened the Demonic Divine Art at that age with a commoner’s background?”

“…What?”

“My eyesight is telling me that he was born with the fate of a star.”

He turned his head slightly and looked outside before opening his mouth.

It was a habit he had when he always said important facts.

“What if a master who was hiding his power in a crisis… suddenly appeared from the sky… What do you think? I smell something suspicious. The Demonic Cult’s
Now it’s even vibrating.” He adds the words and says.

“There is no change in the fact that I can’t say for sure.

Well, even if you, the Small Heavenly Demon, say that you hate it, you can ignore it.

I don’t want to make an enemy in the same situation as now.”

Cheol Mu-san stroked his chin.

He still has a weighty and strong impression.

“The Sword Empress is the same as fate… and now it’s telling me to teach him to fight. I believe and that’s good.”

“”

“Oh…. Are you still not confident?”

It was an obvious provocation, but Cheol Mu-san saw a sign that his face was flaring up.

“If you have confidence, try it.”

“…Even if I make him a subordinate to the point where I will take over the position of leader in the future, don’t complain.”
