Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 197

Missionary (1)

Early the next morning.

“Whoaaah.”

Ichimoku woke up with a tired look on his face, stretching.

After fighting the Nancheonhoeju and taking the Unkisik from early morning until the afternoon to absorb the spirit energy of the Thousand-Year-Old Hasuo, Ilmok fell asleep early in the evening and only just woke up now.

“Have you coughed?”

Hearing Dam-bin’s voice from outside the door, Ilmok yawned and went out, asking.

“Huh. What happened to your trip last night?”

“I have conveyed all of Confucius’s instructions. Those who opposed Confucius’s will or were greedy have all been eliminated.”

“You must have had a hard time. You probably didn’t sleep well last night, so why don’t you try to sleep a little more?”

“We are taking turns sleeping, so you don’t have to worry.”

Looking next to Dam-bin who was talking like that, Joo Seo-yeon had a gloomy expression on her face.

While taking turns as guards, it seemed like he was uncomfortable being with Dam-bin or Guyang-moon every time.

It was a thoughtful consideration for Jin Ha-yeon. If she had been placed under guard or protection by Joo Seo-yeon or Gu Yang-moon, there was no way to know what terrible things might happen.

But the gloomy face only lasted for a moment. Joo Seo-yeon’s eyes sparkled.

This was because Jin Ha-yeon and Hyuk-ryeon Seon-ah each brought a tray and a basin.

“Brother!”

“I prepared water to wash your face and breakfast.”

The voices of Hyukryun Seon-ah and Jin Ha-yeon, who greeted Ilmok with a bright smile, were heard at the same time, and Joo Seo-yeon shouted with a face like a puppy that had met its owner after a few hours.

“You are still beautiful today, Ha-yeon Sunbae!”

“…Thank you.”

Jin Ha-yeon, who responded bluntly to Joo Seo-yeon’s praise, spoke to Dam-bin.

“Sir, we will be providing escort from now on. How about you go in and get some sleep?”

“I’ll make sure to go.”

Dam-bin nodded and dragged Joo-seo-yeon, who was staring at Jin-ha-yeon with a face dripping with regret, by the back of her neck.

“… … .”

Ilmok shook his head at the dizzying sight, washed his face to shake off his obsession, and enjoyed breakfast.

Ilmok asked after finishing his meal.

“Where are the Baekcheon Prince and the women?”

“I will call you in right away.”

After Jin Ha-yeon left the palace, she returned with Baek-cheon and three other women.

“… … .”

Ilmok, who had been looking at them speechless for a moment, sighed and asked Baekcheon.

“What on earth have you done?”

The appearance of the three women was beyond words. Their faces looked completely bewildered, and they looked even more serious than when they were interrogated the night before.

“I just taught acting.”

“…What did you teach me that made me lose my mind like that?”

Baekcheon had a look of indignation on his face at Ilmok’s question, but instead, it was Jin Hayeon who answered his question.

“It is said that he has been teaching acting ever since Confucius gave his instructions.”

“If it continues, then surely it will last all night?”

Baekcheon protested at Ilmok’s absurd question.

“It’s unfair! No matter what, I shouldn’t have stayed up all night. Sleep deprivation is the enemy of beauty, so how could I stay up all night when I have to attract everyone’s attention?”

“… … .”

Even as Ilmok looked at Baekcheon as if he were crazy, his protest continued.

“Just moderately. I taught acting until the end of the hour (9-11 PM), and then started practicing again early this morning.”

He said that he had instructed me to teach acting at dawn yesterday, and that he had been working for eight hours since dawn, and that he had woken me up again at dawn today to teach acting.

Ilmok decided to reflect on himself.

‘There’s no such thing as ‘moderate’ for a crazy person. It’s my fault for not setting a time limit in advance even though I knew he was crazy.’

Ilmok asked with a faint sigh.

“But if you taught me that much, I guess I would have at least learned the basics.”

“It’s good enough to do that.”

Ilmok nodded at Baekcheon’s answer and said.

“There’s no need to waste time, so let’s get started right away.”

Only then did the three women realize that the man was the one who had been tormenting them all night by a crazy attention seeker.

At that moment, for some reason, the crazy interest seed blurted out something out of the blue.

“Your Majesty. In addition to these three, could you please send Lady Zheng as well?”

“Are you talking about Lady Jeong-Hyeon?”

“Yes.”

Ichimoku said, frowning.

“What is the reason?”

“To show them an example.”

“Do you think that’s possible, Lady Jeong?”

Ilmok asked, recalling Jeong-Hyeon’s side effects.

“Your Majesty! This is a remark that disrespects her!”

In Baekcheon’s eyes, trust in Jeong-hyeon was shining.

“She has been learning acting from me for over half a year, so she can definitely do it!”

No, he just believed that he had taught her.

Aside from the crazy guy talking crazy, Ichimoku was lost in thought for a moment.

There was already something that was bothering me a little. However, if Jeong-Hyeon went out to preach, it seemed like the problem could be solved.

After thinking it over, Ilmok opened his mouth.

“Please call Lady Jeong. I will tell her to make the decision herself.”

After a while.

Jeong-hyeon, who had just woken up from a dream, came to Ilmok Hall with a half-asleep look on his face.

Last night, Dam-bin, the women of Eunwigak, and Guyangmun visited the Changgwan and Giru managed by Nancheonhoe.

In addition, thanks to taking turns guarding the Ilmok, she woke up at dawn after having fallen asleep.

“Hey, I see you, Prince Ilmok.”

When Jeong-Hyeon greeted him with courtesy, Ilmok smiled gently and told him the general situation.

She was already half-asleep, and when she heard the story about missionary work that she had never thought of, she looked at Baekcheon with a half-asleep face.

‘Why, why does Prince Baekcheon have such a grudge against me…?’

Baekcheon smiled, revealing his white teeth, perhaps misunderstanding Jeong-hyeon’s resentful expression.

‘Just trust me! The acting skills you learned from me will work just fine!’

Just looking at each other’s eyes, we had absolutely no understanding whatsoever.

Of course, it was the same even if we talked, it wouldn’t work out. Baekcheon was a person who only listened to what he wanted to hear.

At that moment, Ilmok’s voice woke up Jeong-hyeon from his distracting thoughts.

“I called Lady Jeong here to give her a choice. If Lady Jeong was someone who was simply trembling with fear, I wouldn’t have called her, but didn’t Lady Jeong say she also wanted to overcome her social phobia?”

“ah….”

“I have no intention of forcing you, so think calmly and decide.”

After thinking about it for a moment, Jeong-Hyeon opened his mouth.

“… I, I also want to cure my social phobia, but, in order to, to proselytize, don’t I, do I have to speak?”

If I held on somehow, I thought I could approach people, but I didn’t have the confidence to have a normal conversation.

Because I pictured my future self running wild, stuttering and mumbling like an ant crawling.

But why is that?

To her concern, Ichimoku smiled brightly and said.

“Don’t worry. In Lady Jeong’s case, there’s no need to say anything.”

A tea house located on one side of Nanju Market.

Cute tea sets and sweet snacks have always been items loved by young women, regardless of time and place.

This place was famous among the young women of Nanju, and many women visited there.

The tea house would normally be filled with the chatter of young women, starting with praise for the aroma and taste of tea and exchanging various rumors from around the neighborhood.

But for some reason, today, there was a strange silence between conversations.

The reason was simple.

This was because most of the women were distracted by something and could not properly converse with their companions.

Some people stared blankly in one place, unable to come to their senses, while others turned their heads to regain their senses and glanced somewhere else without realizing it.

And where their eyes were, there was Jeong-Hyeon.

“Oh my, oh my. Look at that face.”

“Hey, be careful. What are you going to do if they hear you?”

While dressed as a man.

Jeong-Hyeon, who had developed a sense of hearing through the ghost shrine, thought that he could not miss the women’s voices.

‘Oh, how did it end up like this?’

Of course, it was a masterpiece.

After deciding to use the three women for missionary work, Ilmok had one concern.

‘They may not be comparable to Jin So-jo or Seon-ah, but all three of them are handsome, so they would be more than enough to do missionary work… but the gender ratio is too off.’

Because they were using beauties for missionary work, it could be said that if things continued like this, only men would be recruiting new believers.

Of course, he took over the brothels and the changgwan and brought the gisaengs into the church, but he couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret.

What should I say about you? It felt more like you were taking over a territory rather than preaching.

I wondered what the importance of the sex ratio was in missionary work, but for Ichimoku, who had not yet been freed from the obsession with the Talhonmujeonggeom, it was inevitably an annoyance in many ways.

Then, when Baekcheon suggested that Jeonghyeon also do missionary work, Ilmok felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

It was because I remembered what happened at the Magic Hall. To be exact, my first meeting with Jeong-Hyeon.

‘Come to think of it, Lady Jeong has a handsome appearance but also gives off a neutral vibe, so if she dresses up well, she could be made into a pretty boy!’

Didn’t Ichimoku also mistake her for a man for a while?

In addition, once my thoughts changed, other forgotten memories came flooding back.

The thing that took up the biggest portion was the memory of the time when I was Seo Ji-hoon.

To be exact, it was something that came to mind when I found out that Joo Seo-yeon was a sasaeng fan of Jin Ha-yeon. I was reminded of a long speech given by a female idol sasaeng fan during my college days.

– After all, idols are more like beasts than delicate girls! Young girls are still afraid of men, so they dislike guys with chocolate abs or thick bodies and like pretty boys who look like girls, but you don’t know what I’m talking about!

That was over ten years ago, and it was a time when strange terms like “beast rock” and “beast idol” were all the rage.

And if you turn what the college girl said around,

We were able to reach the shocking conclusion that ‘Young women who have never been close to men or who are still uncomfortable with men like pretty boys with a neutral vibe!’

The mission that Ilmok had entrusted to Jeong-hyeon was none other than the handsome man world.

This could be called the so-called Jade-faced Prince (pretty boy) operation.

* * *

Even as Jeong-hyeon, who was sold to become a handsome man agent by Ilmok, is feeling pessimistic about his situation, the voices of young women from the brothel can be heard in Jeong-hyeon’s ears.

“Where did such a beautiful man come from…?”

It wasn’t a man.

“Look at that pale face. How can it be whiter than me, a woman?”

His face just turned pale.

“What’s the mood like? Look at those eyes soaked in tears.”

It wasn’t that I was drenched in tears, I just wanted to cry.
