Episode 122. Summer: Friends (1)

The green and fresh grass is turning bright red. The autumn leaves are fluttering in the slightly strong wind. Chestnuts and acorns are ripening to a brown color.

and…….

“Eww!”

Boom!

A sword that moves with the determination to cut down all of this.

The blade swung at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to see. The two metals clashed, and a yellow light flashed like a sword light.

“It’s obvious.”

Ting, ting, teeing!

There was someone who was able to break the sword that was rushing at him with such momentum, and his sword did not even come out of its scabbard. He was able to break through all the attacks with only the minimum of movements.

“Ugh!”

Kim Min-soo, who had rushed at him, gritted his teeth. The palm holding the sword stung.

If only I could reach you even for a little bit, even for a moment…!

“So it’s obvious.”

Percussion!

Finally, the sword in Kim Min-soo’s hand was thrown out. As it left his hand, the sword that had been spinning in the air slammed into the mountain floor covered with fallen leaves.

“… … Ugh!”

A breathless noise leaks out through Kim Min-soo’s teeth.

however…!

Taaaat!

Four arrows lodged in the target’s trajectory.

Objective achieved!

The blue arrows shine against the red maple leaves.

“Huh…!”

On the tree, Rosemi held her breath. The tips of her fingers that had shot the arrow trembled.

He took aim at the target. He closed one eye and pulled the bowstring once more―

“I’m impatient.”

uh?

The target, who was clearly standing with both feet on the ground, disappeared from my sight in an instant.

“Hey, Mimi!”

Kim Min-soo shouted with his eyebrows furrowed. The voice I heard was whispering behind me.

“When on earth did that happen…!”

“It was moving strangely above my head.”

widely!

The target struck Rosemi’s calf. She lost her balance and was about to fall when she was caught by her wrist.

“If you’re impatient, you won’t be able to see what you need to see.”

“Whoa!”

Then he snatched the bow and threw it away. He grabbed Jang Mi by the waist and lifted her up, throwing her away as well. She was buried in a mound of fallen leaves.

Swish!

Without a moment to catch his breath, Kim Min-soo quickly climbed up the tree and swung his sword covered in dirt. Unfortunately, the target, who had his shoe pressed against the end of the branch, did not move at all. This was not going to work.

Crunch!

In that moment, Kim Min-soo cut off the treetop where the target was standing with his sword. As the target fell helplessly, his eyes grew wide for a moment.

I was just waiting for this moment.

“… … Pijuhee!”

“Now is the time!”

I’ve been waiting for this moment!

Chae-Ang!!

A jade-colored sword that runs as fast as a gallop!

The first stroke of the sword taught by Geonpil aimed at the target without mercy.

“Slow.”

……but.

Crunch!

The target, who had turned around in the air, struck back with the same stroke in a split second. The decisive attack was shattered.

“Ugh!”

Without stepping on the ground, the target leaped forward, stepping on my sword energy and stabbing Pi Ju-hee in the slit with the scabbard. Pi Ju-hee groaned and fell down, holding her stomach.

The target threw the sword back before landing again.

“Ugh!”

He threw the sword without looking back and hit Kim Min-soo’s chest, who didn’t even realize the situation. Kim Min-soo fell from the tree without even having time to land and rolled on the ground.

“Ahh!”

Like a boomerang, the black arrow aimed for the last time at Rose Mi’s back before going to find her master. She fell face down on the floor and collapsed.

“… … There is only you for me. I love only you with all my heart.”

widely!

The target, who was humming a song that was neither in tune nor in rhythm, grabbed the red sword.

“Get up! Everyone, stop joking and get up!”

The target is, of course, Heo Geon-pil.

Currently, he and his three employees were located on the ridge of Mt. Yeongsan, where there was no mountain path.

“Ugh. I’m not joking… … .”

Kim Min-soo got up with a groan. There was no place that didn’t hurt. When he lifted his T-shirt, a dark bruise appeared on his chest.

“These days, things are like this. Oh my, back in my day—”

“Yes, yes, you sparred while getting bloody!”

Kim Min-soo, who had been ahead of Heo Geon-pil’s words, woke up Pi Ju-hee and Jang Mi-mi.

It was a blessing that he was not born in such a time of barbarism and violence. Heo Geon-pil only had a few strands of hair that he had swept back. On the other hand, the three employees were covered in dirt and dust, causing Madonji, the laundry manager, to burst into tears.

“We’ve been brainstorming all vacation long. Who would have thought we could come up with such a cheeky plan?”

The three employees who used to rush in at once during sparring attacked one after another today. Such a coordinated attack could not be executed by putting their heads together once. It took dozens of revisions to the plan and hundreds of repetitions of practice before it could be realized.

“The original plan was to drive me to the cliff below the ridge, right? Minsu to drive, and Mimi to push me in the other direction so I don’t get lost. Joohee to be the final blow.”

He said it as if he could clearly see through Gunpil’s writing.

As the adrenaline subsided, the employees began to feel real pain and rubbed every nook and cranny of their bodies.

“… … .”

It was a plan that had been in place ever since the Ssangryongpa incident.

It was truly a miserable failure, as they couldn’t even push him off the cliff. Pi Joo-hee and Jang Mi, who had just started school, were even more disappointed because they were excited about carrying out this plan at school today.

“It wasn’t bad.”

“Eh?”

“to.”

“Huh?!”

That’s why when Gunpil stopped talking, stupid things came out of the employees’ mouths.

Even when such an absurd exclamation came out of Pi Ju-hee’s mouth, Heo Geon-pil began to believe in the term “collective ignorance” rather than “collective intelligence.”

“Your mistake was that you overlooked the fact that the target of your drive was me. However, ghosts and spirits are different. You can apply it to the spirits right away without further refinement. If you can secure a corner to drive somewhere, you can just drive the rest.”

Kim Min-soo is pulling the strings, and Jang Mi-mi is blocking any glances that might be prying her eyes away. When she is cornered, Pi Ju-hee launches her final attack.

Heo Geon-pil outlined the plan.

“If the three of you follow this plan as it is… you will be able to subdue a ghost who is on the verge of being promoted to private.”

“oh?!”

Clap, clap, clap.

The three employees clapped their hands together with bewildered expressions. They were so proud that the corners of their mouths gradually twitched.

“Do you like it?”

I should have noticed the problem right away because Gunpil was smiling brightly.

Just right, just right, just right!

The hammer struck hard. The three employees held their foreheads together.

“In other words, unless the three of you come together, the probability of conquering the spirit approaches zero.”

Geonpil clicked his tongue and pointed at each employee.

“Don’t be reassured by the words ‘it can be applied immediately.’ Even if the plan remains the same, keep changing the members. Get used to it, but don’t become complacent.”

“Uh… … I don’t quite understand. Wouldn’t it be better if you got used to this plan enough to settle down?!”

Rosemi raised her other hand, which was rubbing her forehead, and asked.

“What if one of you three is missing? What if Minsu isn’t in the current group? Joohee and Mimi. Even if you two, would you get the same attack just now?”

“ah.”

“Keep in mind various situations and move so that you can be used in any situation. By running away, by betraying, by dying. You never know when your comrades will disappear.”

… … The situation is too extreme?!

The three employees looked at each other. At least the things he had mentioned as examples were unlikely to happen among the Centaurs.

“I can hear the sound of rolling eyes. Jincheol knew he would be betrayed, and he was betrayed?!”

Ugh. If you take this out, I have nothing else to say.

“The same colleague who was playing with me yesterday could stick a knife in my stomach today.”

“… … .”

“Even if that’s not the case, you guys won’t be stuck together like three idiots forever. I’m telling you this because you guys, who have minus intelligence when you get together, have been putting together a pretty good attack combination, so take note.”

The three employees nodded. Although it seemed like a strange remark, the corners of their lips twitched again because it was praise for yoga.

“Haha, look at these cute little things smiling.”

Gunpil grabbed their cheeks and stretched them. Only then did the employees start giggling with relaxed faces.

“Ehehe.”

“Hi-Hi.”

“Then, listen to the Dharma again. Cultivation starts now.”

Stop.

The three employees froze with their smiling faces.

* * *

“Ah, the evil boss… … the illegal business owner… … .”

“… … .”

“This is employee abuse… I need to report this to the Labor Department… … .”

The three employees lying on the ridge where Gunpil had left muttered. They had no choice but to stay even though they wanted to return to the center with him.

Why? Because every nook and cranny of my body ached from being hit so hard, and I couldn’t even get up!

Gunpil personally examined each of them. He literally personally examined them. It means that he beat them vigorously, and when he attacked them saying, “That’s right!”, the employees had no choice but to respond with, “Yes!” How could the employees avoid his attacks?

“Does anyone know what’s on the menu for dinner tonight… … .”

The only thing that comforted them was dinner.

It seems as if Madonna’s kind face is faintly reflected in the sky where the sunset is slowly setting.

“Chicken… I want to eat chicken. Dakbokkeumtang… Dakgalbi… Samgyetang… .”

Jang Mi-mi, who was trying to get up, eventually lay down again with trembling limbs and spoke.

Kim Min-soo, who knows how to choose Madongji’s menu, put a lot of thought into it, even to the point of being a nutritionist.

“Chicken…? We ordered chicken for a late-night snack yesterday, so it’s probably not chicken—”

“Honey, did you order chicken yesterday?”

Suddenly.

Rosemi rose and spoke. Her eyes sparkled.

“Uh uh… … .”

“After I leave?! Just among the employees?!”

“Yeah. Everyone is hungry… … .”

Kim Min-soo, who realized that he had made a serious mistake, slowly avoided her eyes.

“Just a while ago, the four of us went to see a late-night movie without me! The one with Shin Sophia!”

“It did…….”

“I wanted to see that movie too! I really, really wanted to see it because Kang Do-ryeong made a cameo appearance!”

“Hmm. If I go see it with my friends… … .”

“I wanted to see it together! I wanted to go see it together with the CEO, the director, my brother, and even Pi Joo-hee―!”

Jang Mi-mi screamed for the mountain to leave. Kim Min-su, who had not been able to cover his ears in advance like Pi Ju-hee, humbly endured the pain that felt like his eardrums were going to burst.

“Everyone eats late-night snacks except me! Eating is so fatal!”

What are you talking about, Mimi? That’s not true. All the pig’s feet, bossam, pork cutlet, pie, jajangmyeon, mala tang, chicken, hamburger, and tteokbokki we’ve eaten so far were all illusions…

Kim Min-soo looked at Jang Mi-mi, who had fallen back down, with distant eyes.

“By the way, our third floor was originally a warehouse?”

Jang Mi opened her mouth, which had been sticking out, as the question she had been meaning to ask suddenly came to mind.

“3rd floor? Why the 3rd floor all of a sudden?”

“I saw it a while ago, and it had a bathroom and a laundry room. There was no need for a storage room. Was it built to be used together with the second floor?”

“Oh, didn’t the boss tell you? He originally planned to rent out the second and third floors. The second floor would be for men, and the third floor would be for women… .”

Huh.

Kim Min-su stopped talking and closed his mouth.

But it was too late. A bright light came into Rosemi’s eyes.

* * *

“AAAAAAAHHHHH, why! I thought you were originally going to rent out the third floor too! You were going to use it as a women’s floor! I want to live with you too. I want to live with you toooooooooooooooo!!”

Jang Mi-mi, lying in front of Heo Geon-pil, flailed her arms and legs like a preschooler in front of the toy section of Shinsung Mart… … .
