Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 144

Heart Cutter (1)

About seven months after entering the Magic Hall, peaceful days came to Ichimoku.

Even Chu Il-hwan, who had once been a pest to Ilmok, had not touched him since he returned to the Magic Hall, and the same goes for So-hong.

She had been approaching me noticeably for the first few days, but she had become quite quiet recently.

‘Yeah. It’s a bit awkward.’

There was still some ominousness about Sohong, but we decided to move on for now.

Because she had become quiet, perhaps to avoid being noticed, no one was bothering her anymore.

During class time, I spent my days being a bit lazy, taking naps during meditation time, and dealing with the side effects.

But as peaceful as it was, there was one person who made my blood run cold, or rather, my stomach dry.

‘What on earth should I do?’

As each day passed, Sohong felt like she was being pushed into a corner.

It certainly seemed like an easy mission at first.

Didn’t the court lord do the same? It was a simple matter of seducing sixteen children.

Although she had no experience seducing a man, she thought it was something she could definitely do if she prepared well.

However, Prince Pal was not an easy opponent.

Living up to his reputation as a womanizer, he has already dated quite a few women and does not easily succumb to his seductions.

In addition, in the process of seducing Ichimoku, he caught the eye of the people in the Magic Hall too much and that held him back.

I’ve been holding myself back lately, trying not to stand out, thinking this is a step back for the sake of moving forward.

‘I can’t think of any way to move forward with this!’

If things continued like this, we would just end up retreating.

As the mission seemed likely to fail, her side effects grew in size with each passing day.

– Is it hard?

– Since you’ve already crossed the river, why don’t you eat something?

– A ghost that died after eating looks pretty, right? Hurry up and eat.

The temptation to binge eat is growing stronger day by day, so she has been fasting recently.

The moment I put food in my mouth, I felt like I was going to lose my self-control.

One day, while I was continuing my difficult fight against side effects.

Su-gyo-gwan Chu Il-hwan summoned So-hong.

“Did you call, Instructor?”

“Ah. Please sit down first.”

Chu Il-hwan looked at So-hong, who was sitting down, with a complicated expression on his face.

“It seems like being an instructor is harder than I thought.”

“No, Instructor. I am adjusting well enough now.”

“Well… You seem to have gotten noticeably thinner over the past few days?”

Chu Il-hwan spoke in a trembling tone.

As I watched him grow thinner day by day, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

‘I’ve heard of lovesickness, but it really is a terrible disease.’

Although she tried to cover it up by saying it was her job as an instructor, Chu Il-hwan guessed that she was like that because of Ilmok.

It was a half correct guess.

This is what happened because I failed to tempt Ilmoku.

But So-Hong, who didn’t want to reveal the truth, just talked around it.

“Don’t worry about it, Instructor Su. It’s just that I was trying to control the side effects of the magic, so it was a bit difficult.”

In response to her answer, Chu Il-hwan gave advice based on his own experience.

“If it’s because of the side effects of magic… . Rather than holding it in too tightly, it wouldn’t be bad to let it out little by little. However, think of a way to let it out in a place where there are no people so as not to harm the officials.”

When Chu Il-hwan felt an overwhelming urge to kill, he would sneak out of the magic hall, go for a run in the mountains, and then return.

By hunting wild animals living in the mountains and returning.

When Chu Il-hwan told his story, So-hong answered with an anxious face.

“… If you try to let it loose just a little, wouldn’t it end up completely running wild?”

“That is why I told you to think of a way to avoid causing harm to the officials. I also used to go to the mountains for this purpose. If there are no people around, then there will be no chance of anyone getting caught up in the side effects, right?”

“… Let me think about it for now.”

After finishing her conversation with Chu Il-hwan, So-hong left the office with a gaunt face.

Then she went to a restaurant and asked the workers there.

Ask them to prepare a meal for five people at night as a midnight snack.

‘If you eat three meals a day, you’ve already starved for three days, so you should eat at least nine servings! I’ve reduced it to five servings, so I shouldn’t suffer from side effects!’

She had entered the stage of mental victory.

Ambitious vision.

Somewhere in the Magic Hall.

“Whoaaah.”

Ichimoku, who had woken up from a deep sleep, stretched and opened his eyes.

“Ouch. It hurts.”

Ichimoku, who was muttering to himself and looking around, was able to realize belatedly where he was.

The place he was was the meditation club hall. While he was enjoying a nap while sitting cross-legged, he fell into a very deep sleep.

“Those deadly things. What good will it do if I wake them up and leave?”

If the trio had heard his monologue, they would have shed tears of blood in frustration.

The guy who would grab the scabbard if you disturbed his nap even a little bit was now getting angry because I didn’t wake him up.

Since Chu Il-hwan also returned to the Magic Hall alive thanks to Ilmok’s mercy, he did not want to disturb his rest.

In the end, thanks to Chu Il-hwan and the three others quietly leaving so as not to disturb Ilmok’s nap, he was able to sleep until this time.

“Did you sleep too long? I feel hungry… .”

His steps, which were heading towards the Black Dragon Hall, turned towards the restaurant.

‘Is there anything left?’

Those working at the restaurant would have already gone back to their accommodations. I was just thinking about eating whatever side dishes were left and going to bed.

“Whoaaah.”

Arriving at the restaurant entrance, Ilmok yawned and went in.

“… … .”

When I saw the view inside the restaurant, I froze in place.

It was an ambitious hour. The inside of the restaurant was, of course, empty. Except for one seat.

Crunch crunch.

And in that place, a woman was sitting, shoving food into her mouth.

As if he finds it cumbersome to use chopsticks and a spoon, he grabs the food with both hands and shovels it into his mouth.

In the meantime, how strong was her appetite, there was a mountain of food piled up where the woman was sitting.

Crunch crunch.

The mountain of food was being sucked into the woman’s mouth at a tremendous speed.

It was a sight that seemed as if a god had come into being.

“… … .”

Sai’s face was blank as he was struck by an unimaginable sight.

After three days of predation, Sohong’s arm, completely absent-mindedly hunting for food, touched the mountain of food, and a dumpling rolled to the floor.

She flew to the floor, picked up the dumplings that had fallen, and stuffed them into her mouth.

As I was getting up from my dumplings, I belatedly noticed someone standing at the entrance of the restaurant.

“… … .”

“… … .”

For a moment, silence fell between Il-mok and So-hong as their eyes met.

“I’m sorry, Instructor So. Please, eat comfortably.”

Ilmok said that in a timid tone and immediately left the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Ichimoku looked back at the restaurant with a face filled with various emotions.

“Hey… .”

An exclamation of admiration escaped Ichimoku’s mouth as he witnessed a sight he could not have imagined.

There was food debris everywhere.

A discarded spoon lay scattered on the table, and her hands were covered in food.

It wasn’t just his hands. His face was also covered in remnants of seasoning and food, and his clothes were also soaked.

In the meantime, he even flies up to pick up food that has fallen on the ground and eat it.

It was the first time in my life that I had ever seen a woman who was considered beautiful eat so greedily.

“If only YouTube had existed, it would have been a huge hit.”

Maybe it will make a mark on the world of mukbang?

“Hmm. Isn’t that right? My appetite isn’t even getting any better, and seeing that it’s completely gone, I don’t think there’s any hope.”

The sight of her shoving food in so sloppily made any hunger she had felt disappear.

* * *

A little while later, Ilmok returned to the Black Dragon Hall.

Crunch crunch.

So-hong was still in the restaurant, shedding tears.

‘It’s all over…’

Crunch crunch.

Even though she had no experience in dating, she knew it from common sense.

That no man would love an ugly woman blinded by greed.

Crunch crunch.

There was a saying that eating well brings happiness, but this was different.

Starting from the mouth, all the way to the hands and clothes, it was covered in food debris.

Crunch crunch.

Above all, I don’t think a woman who picks up and eats things that have fallen on the ground is blessed.

Is it because I feel like the mission has gone down the drain?

Crunch crunch.

Feeling depressed again, she was stuffing the remaining food from the table into her mouth.

‘If I fail this mission, the Guardian Lord will not call me to the Guardian Court again.’

Crunch crunch.

‘I guess I’m destined to rot away in the Magic Hall for the rest of my life.’

How long had it been since I had stuffed myself with food, with a resigned expression on my face, and surrendered my body to the demon?

After finally finishing the five servings of food that were on the table, she looked down at her empty plate with eyes full of regret.

But that was only for a moment.

As her hunger was appeased and the side effects of the magic subsided somewhat, she was able to recall memories she had forgotten.

‘Come to think of it, there’s still one method I haven’t tried yet!’

Since I had never been in a relationship before, there was just one piece of advice left that I couldn’t even bring myself to try.

But now, I was already at the edge of a cliff. Now, I had to try that advice, desperately trying to grasp at straws.

I think it was said, “Even the horns of a cow must be pulled out in one go.”

After making up her mind, she tried to get up.

“Ugh.”

I stopped in my tracks, my stomach so full it was on the verge of bursting.

She looked down at her protruding belly as if she was bragging and thought.

‘Well, after it has digested a bit.’

Even to her, an outsider, seduction seemed impossible in this state.

* * *

After an hour had passed.

In order to avoid being noticed by others, Sohong wore neat, dark black clothing and sneaked into the Black Dragon Hall.

Thinking back to the advice I received from a senior lawyer who was married.

The senior gave Sohong some advice, then sighed deeply and said.

‘Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem like it needed to be this difficult.’

‘Are you saying there’s an easier way?’

‘There’s an easy way. Since So Hoo-ha’s looks are enough to make men line up, just pounce on her.’

‘!? What do you mean, cover up?’

‘I’m just telling you to go and visit secretly in the middle of the night.’

‘What do I do after I get there?’

In response to Sohong’s question, the senior hesitated for a moment and then answered with a sigh.

‘You don’t know how to explain it to me since you don’t have any experience. Since the target is a lecher, just leave the rest up to the target. Just take off your outer clothes and he will take care of the rest.’

As she recalled the memories of that day, she soon found herself right in front of Ichimoku’s room.

‘Phew.’

Even she was too scared to try it, so she buried it in a corner of her memory.

But now that she was cornered, she boldly opened the door and went inside.

At the sound of her entering the room, Ichimoku’s eyes, which had been half asleep, opened wide.

‘Crazy… To move so blatantly.’

Ilmok looks surprised as he realizes that it is Sohong who came in the middle of the night.

Swish.

Sohong looked at Il-mok with her eyes open and carefully pulled on the knot that was holding her clothes in place.

Naturally, her outer garment flowed down, and after she finished preparing, she took a deep breath and looked around.

If it’s as the senior said, then from now on, that eight-year-old guy will take care of the rest.

But soon, she began to feel a strange sense of unease.

‘Was that something you did with a sword??’

For some reason, Ichimoku was pulling out his sword from the scabbard next to the bed.
