Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 99
Service (4)
Immediately after Ilmok left for the Magic Hall with the escort of several unmanned soldiers.
Wei Jin-hak asked Cheon Ma.
“Master, what is that?”
What he was pointing to was a bundle of wooden planks that Ilmok had handed to Cheonma.
Cheonma looked at the bundle of wooden planks for a moment as if he was reminiscing. He told Wi Jin-hak about the events at Dohwaryeong.
Naturally, the ending of the story was about the improvement measures for Dohwaryeong that Ilmok had talked about.
“Hani, from now on, you will not simply be watching over Dohwaryeong, but you will be going into Dohwaryeong yourself and taking care of the elders.”
After Cheonma finished speaking like that, he handed the bundle of wooden planks he had received from Ilmok to the leader of the Black Turtle Group.
And the members of the Black Demon Corps who were watching the whole situation from the side almost turned pale in an instant.
Instead of guarding the infamous Mang-A-Ryeong, you have to go in there and take care of those monsters yourself.
“Yes, I will follow your orders!”
Of course, since they were pseudo-fanatics, there could not be anyone who would go against Cheonma’s instructions.
The black-haired man who had shown an example hid his pale face and quickly read the inscription on the wooden board that Ilmok had written.
Wi Jin-hak, who was sneaking a peek at the wooden plank from the side, soon let out an exclamation of admiration.
“As expected of the youngest, Master.”
How could someone at such a young age come up with such a complex and thoughtful system?
Wi Jin-hak was convinced.
‘If only that child would become my wallet…’
I believe that we can create great achievements together that will remain in the history of the Cheonmasingyo.
Meanwhile, the face of the Black Demon Lord, who had been reading the wooden board that Ilmok had handed him, was growing darker and darker as time passed.
* * *
After half an hour had passed, they arrived at the headquarters and each went their separate ways to go about their own business.
In the case of those in charge of monitoring Dohwaryeong, they began preparing to handle the work planned by Ilmok and instructed by Cheonma.
Meanwhile, at that time.
Jin Ha-yeon was, as usual, absorbed in training at Eunwi Pavilion.
‘…I need to shake off all the distracting thoughts.’
However, perhaps because of concerns about the schedule, I had difficulty concentrating on training.
“You look like a warrior who has mastered the art of sorcery.”
At that moment, Eunwigak Iljojang Dambin, who had come over without anyone noticing, spoke with a strange expression.
“sorry.”
“That’s it. I have good news for you today. Let’s take a short break and then get started.”
“By the way, has Confucius returned safely?”
“Hahaha. When you say good news, that’s the first thing that comes to mind?”
“… Today is the day the Supreme Being promised to return, so wouldn’t that be all the good news?”
Dam-bin’s lips turned up at Jin Ha-yeon’s answer, who tried hard to keep a blank expression.
“Come to think of it, the person who came back with me said something like that.”
“???”
“I think the youngest prince will grow up to be someone truly worthy of serving.”
“!!!”
Thinking back on that taciturn silver note, this was close to praise.
Naturally, the corners of Jin Ha-yeon’s mouth rose.
Because even the Eunwi Footnote acknowledged the value of the youngest Confucius that he had known.
* * *
At a time when Jin Ha-yeon, free from worries about her daily routine, was concentrating on her training with peace of mind.
“Move quickly! We must prepare and enter Mangaryeong, no, Dohwaryeong, today!”
The members of the Black Turtle Group, who were in charge of guarding Dohwaryeong, were running around like crazy.
In order to execute the contents written on the wooden board that Ilmok had created, there were so many things that had to be prepared.
I had to search through the records to find out the personal details of the surviving elders and run around the headquarters to get the supplies I needed to do what was written on the board.
Thanks to their hard work, they were able to prepare the bare necessities in just half an hour.
The Black Demon Leader gave instructions to several members.
“You guys stay here, and when the members who left to escort the youngest lord return, you will enter Dohwaryeong with them in six days. Under the instructions of the youngest lord, you will split into two groups and take turns looking after the elders every day the gate opens.”
The teeth of the Black Demon Lord, who emphasized the word “youngest prince,” made a grinding sound.
And the leader of the Black Ghost Clan, who left behind fifteen members, headed back to Dohwaryeong with about twenty members.
After entering Dohwaryeong, they moved according to the map drawn by Cheonma, and soon arrived at the open space where the elders were gathered.
“I meet the Lord of the Peach Blossom Land.”
“Dohwaryungju? What are you talking about?”
When Kang No asked with a puzzled expression, the Black Demon Lord answered.
“This is a solemn order from the Most High. I appoint Kang Noya as the Lord of the Dohwa Realm, and tell him to follow the Lord’s instructions.”
The Black Demon Lord, who had said so, handed the wooden plank he had brought to Kang No.
That wooden plank could be considered a kind of guidebook that the Dohwaryungju and themselves would have to follow in the future.
They stored the wooden planks in one place and began to move as instructed on the wooden planks.
“Please come this way, elders.”
“Okay. Do you see the hut over there? You can make it like that. First, dig the ground like this… .”
Some of the Black Ghosts began building a hut with a few of the elders who were still in good condition, just like the Silver Legion had done in the past.
And some other members of the Black Demon Corps were taking care of the elders who were in the worst condition. They taught them basic letters and washed the bodies of elders who had unknowingly defecated.
And the rest of them started doing odd jobs.
I brought the records I had brought and wrote down the personal information of the elders.
– This is Dohwaryeong.
– If you cough, wash your hands first.
To help each elder stay alert and keep track of their daily routine, they also posted papers with phrases written on them all over the hut.
also.
“Whew. Why did I answer that I’m good at drawing…?”
Some members of the Black Demon Corps were ceaselessly drawing pictures on small wooden boards.
“This is truly an unheard of game. How on earth did the youngest Confucius come up with such a game?”
Some members of the Black Demon Corps even bent iron bars they had brought from the headquarters and drove them into various places in the open space.
Of course, there were cases in which the elders suddenly lost their memories and became drunk during the process.
“Who are you guys!!”
The members of the Black Demon Corps, including Kang Noya, who had come to their senses and had become more sophisticated, and the elders who had at least some sense in them, united and subdued the elders who were running wild.
After finishing the afternoon work like that, the group was divided again.
The elders who were somewhat sound washed themselves when given water, a stone, and a ladle, and the members of the Black Demon Corps washed those who were uncomfortable.
And after dinner it was a kind of rest time.
Elderly people who have regressed to infantile levels are cared for by members of the Black Demon Corps and taught simple letters.
“Okay. If you look at these wooden pieces, there are pictures and letters written on them! The person who matches the most matching pictures and letters is the winner.”
We played a kind of picture matching game using wooden boards made by the Black Ghost Unit members who drew pictures like crazy.
In addition, some elderly people played mahjong and baduk, which were created by Ilmok and Cheonma in the past.
On one side of the vacant lot, another game planned by Ichimoku and created by the Black Demon Corps was in progress.
“Here, if you look, there are doors with the numbers one through ten written on them. Divide into two teams and take turns hitting the ball with this stick you see here to get through the doors. It’s a simple game!”
The game that Ilmok came up with for the elders was gateball.
Living in Korea, I often saw seniors enjoying stationery.
“It doesn’t matter what order you go through the doors. However, the group that goes through all the doors wins, and you must remember which doors your group went through.”
In fact, Ilmok did not know the exact rules of the game. It was because he had a strong perception that it was a game for the elderly, and because he had never actually played the game himself.
Ichimoku simply made up the rules based on what he remembered, at a level of difficulty that would be fun for older people.
“Wow. What a curious game!”
Even though their memories were hazy, some of the elders showed interest and began to enjoy the words because it was their first time seeing the game.
The Black Ghost members, who had been harassed by the elders since the daytime, happily watched as some of the elders took it upon themselves to play mahjong, baduk, picture matching, and stationery.
‘I was always afraid that we wouldn’t be able to communicate, but that was also ignorance.’
‘To think of something like this for those who have devoted themselves to the religion. What a truly amazing person.’
It’s just that it’s hard to go wild and revert to being a child once in a while. But in normal times, we were able to communicate ‘to some extent’.
In particular, papers with written information about the situation posted in various places in the vacant lots and huts, and letters containing the personal information of each elder were of great help.
When he came out of his rampage or childish state, he was seen returning calmly while reading the paper or letter.
For a moment, the Black Ghost Unit members and Kang Noya looked at the elders with pleased expressions.
“Hahahaha. You’ve already passed the third gate!”
“Where did you hear that lie! This is your first time!”
The elders who were enjoying the game suddenly started fighting, and each of them wrapped black and blue energy around the sticks they were swinging to hit the ball and started swinging them at each other.
“Oh my god… .”
The Black Ghost members, their faces blackened and dead, sighed and ran out to stop the elders.
This was the appearance of Dohwaryeong that would become everyday life.
* * *
At a time when the Black Demon Corps was moving busily thanks to the bomb dropped by Ichimoku.
Ilmok arrived at the Magic Hall with the escorts provided by Cheonma.
‘Phew. At least it’s afternoon, isn’t it?’
Since it was almost time for training to end, it seemed like I could just report back and rest.
‘It’s calmed down a bit thanks to the one time I went wild, but let’s take a break for now.’
Last night, thanks to the constant suggestions for improving Dohwaryeong, I felt like the side effects had been alleviated a little.
But this is only a temporary effect. It could get worse at any time, so it was most important to keep my body and mind at peace.
As he arrived at the main gate of the Magic Hall with that thought in his mind, the assistant guarding the gate looked at him with a startled expression.
“Uh, I’ll open the door, so please wait a moment.”
It was as if he had seen a ghost. It seemed like he thought Ichimoku would not come back alive.
As soon as the assistant touched the organ, the heavy main gate of the magic hall began to rise.
“Once you go inside, report to Instructor Chu Il-hwan first and then rest.”
“I will do so.”
After Ilmok finished talking to his assistant, those who had escorted Ilmok here also paid their respects to Ilmok.
“Confucius. Let us now return to the headquarters.”
Right after they left.
Ilmok passed by the wide open main gate of the magic hall and entered inside.
And those who were present throughout the Magic Hall also showed similar reactions.
Those who were training in the training ground were looking at each other with faces like they had seen a ghost and whispering.
The impression I got from quickly scanning the scene was simple.
‘It looks like you’ve come back.’
In the training hall, there were not only the same class members as the Ichimoku, but also the upper class officers.
“One glance at the map!”
Among them, there were those who came rushing after seeing the returned Ilmok. People like Bang Mi-hwa and Dokgo-pae.
‘shit.’
As the side effects got worse and he was tired of hanging out with those crazy guys, Ilmok said to those who were approaching him.
“I have to report my return, so come back later.”
And then Ilmok quickly walked towards the instructors’ offices.
Thanks to moving quickly to avoid the leeches, Ichimoku was able to arrive at the office in no time.
The instructors’ reaction to the sudden appearance of Ichimoku was not much different from that of others.
Amidst the reactions as if he had seen a ghost, Chu Il-hwan asked Ilmok with a curious expression.
“You, are you alive?”
“… It seems like you really wanted me to die?”
Ilmok had that thought.
I wonder if that guy is the one who guided me towards the truth with the sound of the bell.
To Ilmok’s blunt answer, Chu Il-hwan replied with a playful smile.
“Hahaha. What are you talking about? I was worried, but I guess you ended up in the infamous ‘Mang-A-Ryeong’. Honestly, even I, as an instructor, am not confident that I can survive there.”
In response to Chu Il-hwan’s answer, Ilmok clicked his tongue inwardly and replied.
“It’s not Mangaryeong, it’s Dohwaryeong, instructor. The master has said that we should no longer call it ‘Mangaryeong.’ It seems that this hasn’t reached the Magic Hall yet.”
Perhaps because Cheonma was mentioned, Chu Il-hwan and the instructors who were listening from the side all had cautious expressions.
“I see. I’ll be careful from now on.”
At Chu Il-hwan’s serious answer, which was unusual for his age, Ilmok hid his doubts inside.
It wasn’t that I had any doubts.
I tried to hide my suspicions for now because it would be harder to catch them if I showed my suspicions.
As if Ilmok didn’t know what was going on, Chu Il-hwan opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“You must have had a hard time at ‘Dohwaryeong’, so let’s go back now for today. Oh, and.”
Chu Il-hwan suddenly stopped talking, then quickly added his words with his signature playful expression.
“It’s unfortunate that you got involved in something dangerous, but since you ended up going all the way to the outside of the testing room, you failed the last test.”
“… … .”
