Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 23

Team Leader (2)

Around lunchtime the next day.

Seo Wan-pyeong was walking around the grounds of Cheonmasingyo with a gloomy face.

Due to the damage caused by his delusions of persecution, he suffered from insomnia, and because he was assigned to assassination-oriented missions due to the nature of his martial arts, his face naturally became haggard and the sun was shining on it.

Seo Wan-pyeong frowned as if he was displeased and blocked the sunlight from entering his eyes with the palm of his hand.

‘What a refreshing day.’

Contrary to his outward appearance, his insides were not bad.

Needless to say, his mood had improved recently, thanks to Ichimoku’s influence.

Whenever gloomy thoughts came to his mind, or he felt guilty for not doing his job properly, or he felt that everything was his fault because of the problems that arose in the dark temple, Seo Wan-pyeong would go to see the youngest disciple.

The youngest priest was a wonderful boy.

He would often come up with solutions that he himself could not easily come up with, or he would often remind himself that he had misinterpreted the Master’s words.

Recently, Seo Wan-pyeong has been able to think positively, thinking that perhaps his teacher does not hate him.

There were times when I thought that I was like a helpless fool, receiving help from the youngest priest who was so young compared to me.

― What are you talking about, Death Penalty! I have personally seen the sword of Death Penalty, whom I respect so much, and even given the opportunity to fight with him like this, but compared to the grace that Death Penalty has bestowed upon me, this is nothing!

After hearing those words from the youngest priest yesterday, those thoughts completely disappeared.

That is why Seo Wan-pyeong was heading to Pungamjeon, where the youngest priest was staying, today as well.

Even though it wasn’t a bad day, he was willing to engage in a duel with the youngest priest and teach him the sword.

While I was walking around the Demonic Cult’s grounds like that.

A familiar face appeared in Seo Wan-pyeong’s eyes.

“I meet the Ambassador.”

Wi Jin-hak, who had been walking back and forth in the same place like a dog that needs to poop, laughed heartily at Seo Wan-pyeong’s greeting.

“Hahaha. It’s been a long time since we’ve met like this in broad daylight, Master.”

Seo Wan-pyeong thought to himself, “Why are you out in the daytime, you shady bastard who only seeks out dark places?” at the death penalty’s welcoming greeting.

He shook his head quickly to shake off the negative thoughts. It was possible that he had misunderstood them.

‘I guess I’ll have to ask the youngest priest.’

With that thought in mind, Seo Wan-pyeong asked the ambassador.

“But, do you have any concerns?”

“There’s a bit of a problem with the Red Dragon Group, and they’re wondering what to do about it. Hahaha.”

Seo Wan-pyeong nodded his head in response to Wi Jin-hak’s answer and said, “Is that so?”

Just as Seo Wan-pyeong belonged to the Dark Pavilion and handled religious affairs, the great general Wi Jin-hak also belonged to the Red Dragon Unit, a military unit.

The difference was that Seo Wan-pyeong was a mid-level member of the Dark Shadow Pavilion, while Wi Jin-hak was the leader of the Red Dragon Corps.

“This is true. It would be easy to lead the members and break the skulls of the non-believers, but this task is a bit complicated and I’m worried.”

As Seo Wan-pyeong looked at the ambassador laughing heartily, a thought occurred to him.

“If so, will you go with me?”

“Going? Where are you talking about?”

“I don’t know what the death penalty is about, but I think that child would give good advice.”

“Wow. This sounds like an interesting story!”

Wi Jin-hak followed the third disciple, smiling like an idiot without even asking who the ‘child’ Seo Wan-pyeong was talking about.

* * *

Today, as usual, I was spending time with Seon-ah and Jin Ha-yeon.

Suddenly.

The sound of the door to Pungamjeon opening was heard, and two guests came in.

I checked the faces of the two guests and quickly took the lottery ticket.

“I meet the Ambassador and the three death sentences.”

But even as I was saying hello, one side of my head was spinning quickly.

‘The death penalty for delusional persecution is coming to me now, so let’s say that, but why did the squad leader have to be executed?’

And very kindly, the Delusional Death Penalty answered my question.

“It’s nice to meet you, youngest. Actually, I met my older brother on the way here and while we were talking, he told me that he had some concerns, so I came with him.”

“Has that ever happened to you?”

I answered reflexively, but inside I was just dumbfounded.

‘No, why did you bring the squad leader here when you have something to worry about?’

Ambassador Wi Jin-hak is a character who learned the explosive mara sword technique and suffers from anger management disorder.

Of course, there were rumors that he had reached a state close to being de-magicated, but the important thing was that he had not yet completely de-magicated.

It was said that if you say one wrong word, you run the risk of your anger management disorder breaking out.

But the persecution complex that did not know my true intentions immediately spoke to the squad leader.

“Your Excellency, you’ve probably heard the news already, but the youngest here is quite intelligent for his age. Perhaps he can solve your worries, so why don’t you speak to him?”

“Hahaha. Now that I think about it, I think I heard something like that from my teacher! Then I’ll tell you.”

As he said that, Ambassador Wi Jin-hak confessed his worries to me without me even asking.

“Recently, the vice-leader of our Red Dragon Corps has been recognized for his achievements and has been promoted to the vacant position of the Black Tiger Corps. The problem is that instead of bringing in a vice-leader from somewhere else, my master told me to choose the vice-leader myself. I will choose one of the current leaders of the Red Dragon Corps.”

After hearing it, it was definitely a headache.

‘Only one person out of many should be promoted. There will be many problems in many ways.’

The ambassador continued talking, perhaps because his head was hurting from worry.

“Each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses, but I’m even more worried because they’ve been together for a long time. The current leaders have all been with me since I first joined the Red Dragon Corps as its vice-captain. One of them is skilled, but the problem is that he’s too snobby, and the other one… .”

The ambassador, who had been talking at length, folding his fingers one by one and listing information about the leaders, finally finished his explanation and asked.

“In this situation, what do you think the youngest should do?”

At the ambassador’s question, I looked deeply troubled for a moment.

The third brother spoke to me, perhaps misunderstanding my expression.

“Speak frankly. Even though His Majesty has a fierce appearance, he is a great person who knows how to listen to others.”

“!!!”

Thirdly, I found myself flinching involuntarily at the fanning of the death penalty.

How dare you insult my appearance and say I look bad in front of the team leader!

But, unlike me who flinched, the ambassador just laughed heartily.

“Hahahaha! There are quite a few friends who get scared when they see my face!”

I let out a sigh of relief at that reaction.

‘Whew. I guess you don’t really care about people commenting on your looks.’

But it wasn’t safe yet, so I opened my mouth as cautiously as possible.

“I thought about it hard, but honestly, I don’t know.”

Actually, I pretended to be worried, but I had planned to answer like this since the ambassador came.

‘If I help you here, the work will just pile up. Are you crazy?’

It was the same in Korea. If you do a good job, you get more work. And after living here for the past two months, I realized that it is no different here.

In addition to being tormented by the Master, he was also tormented by the third death penalty, and he did not want to inflict a new burden on himself.

The only problem was that I was afraid that the ambassador’s squad leader might pop out.

Despite the tension I had felt inside, he had a bitter expression on his face instead of being angry.

Not the ambassador, but the third death penalty.

‘Why are you feeling sorry?’

When the older brother who had confided his worries to me did not get angry, he just smiled his characteristically stupid smile.

“Hahaha. As expected, it was a difficult problem even for the youngest priest.”

For some reason, the third brother, who had been feeling sorry, was the one who apologized to the chief constable on my behalf.

“Ahem. I’m sorry, Ambassador.”

“Hahaha. Why would a priest feel sorry? Hahaha. This executioner is stupid for doing something like this.”

The ambassador, who had been laughing heartily, turned his head to look around, and his eyes met Seon-ah’s.

“Oh. You’re the little girl of the Hyukryun family! I heard that you’ve been visiting the youngest priest often lately.”

“I’m not a kid.”

Seon-ah answered in an unusually sharp tone.

“Ahahahaha! It seems like you’re upset that this idiot brother-in-law took away your time to play with the youngest! Hahahaha! You’re such a cute girl.”

Is it because my mind was read, or is it because I was upset that the ambassador kept taking up my time?

Seon-ah muttered, pouting her lips as if she was whining.

“Your Highness is an idiot.”

The moment Seon-ah blurted out those words.

“Ahahahahaha!”

A strange feeling came over me. The ambassador was laughing heartily like an idiot as usual, but I felt a chill run down my spine.

And the urgent sound of the third death sentence pierced my ears.

– Oh no! Priest, get out of here right now.

“???”

As I looked at the third death row officer with an expression of incomprehension, the sound came again.

― That’s the reason why the Ambassador hasn’t been able to escape yet! The Ambassador doesn’t get angry easily over anything else, but he can’t stand being called stupid. That’s why even if the Ambassador says with his own mouth that he’s stupid, you should never agree with him!

“… .”

What is that?

It’s okay to say you’re stupid, but you roll your eyes when someone else says it? That’s crazy.

‘That’s right. This place was a den of lunatics.’

Even while reflecting on that important fact.

“Ahahahahaha! Are you calling me an idiot just now?”

The ambassador’s rough laughter grew louder and louder, and at the same time, rough waves of energy began to swirl around the ambassador’s body.

That too, towards Seon-ah, who had provoked the ambassador.

Of course, Seon-ah was the precious daughter of the Hyukryun family, a prestigious family within the Demonic Cult. Even if he was the great brother, there was a possibility of problems if he harmed Seon-ah, but if he was going to act after thinking about such things, it wasn’t because of anger management issues in the first place.

As time goes by, the laughter of the ambassador’s inner strength grows louder, and as a result, rough waves of energy surge towards Seon-ah.

To prevent such an ambassadorial rampage, the third death row inmate and Jin Ha-yeon each raised their internal energy.

“miss!!”

While waiting beyond the wall of Pungamjeon, the guard warriors of Hyukryun Se-ga rush in.

“Ambassador!! I have an idea!!! A solution!!!”

First of all, I tried to calm the situation down by talking as much as I could.

Immediately after that, the ambassador’s gaze turned to me. He was still emitting a terrifying aura.

Even as my heart was pounding, my chest was tight, and breathing was painful, I mustered up what little energy I had and raised my voice.

“It is best to promote the third group to the vice-chairman!”

“Why?”

As if his personality had changed, the eyes of the man who was asking questions briefly were now half-mad.

Why should the third group leader be promoted to vice-chairman?

It was simple.

“I said that I am the most thorough in handling work, so it is because I can handle work on your behalf when the Ambassador is away or busy!”

It was because he was the easiest person to beat around the bush. If you pick the most capable person as your subordinate, it’s bound to make things easier for the superior.

‘Like that fucking team leader!!’

This was the answer that came to mind when I was Seo Ji-hoon, thinking of the team leader who had been slapping me and avoiding me even at the moment of my death.

Of course, if the three captains were competent in all fields, there would be no need for the ambassador to even worry.

“You said that the third platoon leader’s strength was the weakest among the platoon leaders, but that doesn’t matter! In any case, the single platoon leader, the great platoon leader, can more than make up for the weaknesses of the grand platoon leader. Therefore, the second platoon leader should be chosen as someone who can make up for the shortcomings of the grand platoon leader.”

The captain, who had been listening to my argument in a way that was unusual for a squad leader, burst into laughter as soon as I finished speaking.

“Hahahahahahahaha!!!”

Like a madman, no. Like a madman, the ambassador raised his head and looked up at the sky, then blew up the heavenly light and strangely lowered his head and looked at me with eyes full of madness.

Hehe.

“So, you’re saying that I’m stupid and that the smart Sam Jo Jang should be promoted to Vice President.”

At the same time, the ground that the ambassador was standing on burst apart, and a madman with anger management issues ran towards me.

Swinging a greatsword with a huge red aura.
