hello master
A week has already passed since the school trip ended.
Thanks to Minha’s return, the class atmosphere has returned to the way it was before.
On the evening of last Monday, Mr. Kim and I presented a thesis on regeneration magic at the Hunter Association.
At first, most magicians snorted, but the situation was completely reversed when Min-ha’s case was introduced and the leg of the clinical trial subject brought by Mr. Kim was regenerated.
Numerous requests to attend the seminar have come in from domestic and international societies.
I received a lot of calls to the school and to my personal number, but I passed them all on to Mr. Kim.
aka spanking.
I’m a little sorry, but since I ordered you to co-author with me, can I leave this much to you?
It is said that the Nobel Prize for Magic is also influential.
Like the Nobel Prize, they say you have to go to Sweden at the end of the year to receive it, but if possible, I would like to spend it alone, Mr. Kim.
“Sensei Kang works overtime too, right? I think it will be over in an hour and a half, but let’s have a drink after it.”
Since it was the final exam soon, I would have had to work overtime, but during lunchtime, I go to Luciel’s space and take care of all the paperwork, so there’s no problem.
“Isn’t it a bit overtime on Friday? I finished it at lunchtime.”
Asking if it’s really true, I told Mr. Park to work hard and left the office.
I came to the parking lot, started the engine, and drove for about 30 minutes to the appointed place.
This is a restaurant located in Gangnam that I have been to several times.
After parking and checking the time, there are still more than 20 minutes left, so I was thinking of surfing the web, but a familiar car comes in.
That guy came early too.
I immediately got out of the car and approached him.
smart-.
“uh? Teacher, did you come right after we finished?”
Se-jin, who parked and got off, looked startled.
“Then, who are you making an appointment with? long time no see. You must be very busy these days. Seeing your face is like picking stars from the sky.”
“Chi, it was the teacher who said he was busy every time I contacted him.”
“Is it? sorry. Last week I was busy because I had a field trip, and these days it’s the final exam period again. But did you come out like this today?”
“Yes Yes. I am so grateful that I don’t know what to do.”
A docile, naive, nice guy who, in my words, would die, would answer like this… .
Well, I’ve been careless for a while.
He is the only disciple who taught martial arts and a partner who owns half of the building.
“sorry. Still, it came out like this today, so please take a look.”
“OK. Let’s go. I am hungry.”
They talked while eating, and they said they decided to go to the Ares Guild next year.
“Then you will become a guild master right away?”
“It’s not like that. The assistant guild master said he would take over as master and help me until I got used to it.”
“Then what if I say continue?”
“It doesn’t matter anyway because I own all the shares. And he said he was retiring like his father.”
“I see.”
“It would be great if you could come to our guild, too.”
“Oh, sir, the ransom is expensive, can you afford it? It would take a lot of money to catch the existing guild members leaving.”
“It is, but… . Hey, didn’t you say last time that you would give a disciple discount?”
hahahaha… . you’ll remember that
“Wouldn’t it be tough if I gave you a discount?”
“In case of installment… ?”
“Of course not.”
“Chi, but I’ll scout you first when I have some free time later.”
“yes. Oh, and it was your birthday yesterday, right? It’s late, but happy birthday.”
“How did you know? I didn’t even say anything.”
“I can know everything.”
In fact, I wouldn’t have known at all if the vice-principal hadn’t asked me if I had congratulated Se-jin on his birthday and had a party at the guild yesterday morning.
After eating, I went to a nearby department store and bought a present.
During lunch earlier, I called the accessory shop in the department store, got a catalog, and reserved an earring.
He is my most cherished disciple and co-worker, but I can’t go beyond just buying a meal.
“Are you really okay?”
It was chosen in a hurry, so if you don’t like it, you can change it to something else, but I like it.
“It is so pretty. I didn’t even think about it, thank you so much.”
“What, with this? Now, shall we break up?”
“Yes? Already?”
“He said he went to attack the portal again today. Are not you tired?”
“I’m fine… Are you tired, teacher?”
“little. Well, I ate and gave you presents. It was too late.”
“It’s not even 9 o’clock yet? We met after a long time, how about a drink?”
“What is alcohol? We both brought tea.”
“You can call a substitute. If drinking outside is a burden, how about our house?”
“Hey, home?”
“Just recently, I was given a bottle of really good wine as a gift, but I’ve been saving it because I don’t drink it alone.”
“wine? I don’t like wine very much… .”
“If you don’t like wine, you can buy something else. He and the cat too.”
“Suddenly, what kind of cat? You weren’t there the last time you went. I didn’t even talk about it before. Adopted?”
“That, that… Yes.”
“What species is it? no pictures? Show me if you have any.”
“It’s just a cat. There are no pictures, so you can go and see for yourself.”
I usually like cats quite a bit, so I thought about going, but I couldn’t.
I told my master last week that I would go today.
“I’m curious, but not today.”
“Yes? You have a day off tomorrow.”
“I don’t go to work, but I have other schedules.”
“Ah yes… .”
It is a very sad expression.
We parted ways after promising to stop by if Se-jin called during the next week on the day Se-jin ends early.
I drove to Gangwon-do.
The highway was quiet, but it took almost 3 hours because the traffic was quite blocked in downtown Seoul.
I will be able to master warp magic within the next week, so this hardship will be the last.

“A cat?”
“Yes, cat. I saw an interview in a magazine last time, and Hunter Kang Shin-hyeok said he likes cats. If I told you there was a cat at home, would you come to see it?”
“ah… I read that magazine too, but I have a fur allergy, so I can’t have a cat.”
“Oops, this is frustrating. Who wants a real cat? Hunter Kang Shin-hyeok has it, so just ask him to come see it.”
“Even if you come as a cat that doesn’t exist, I think you’ll be angry that I cheated you if you didn’t come. .”
“Tsk tsk. Why don’t you have a cat?”
“Yes?”
“You can be a cat. Hunter Kang Shin-hyeok comes to the house and asks where the cat is, and if you meow into his ear once, the game is over.”
* * *
“The guy who came yesterday… huh? Why are you empty-handed?”
The master’s expression is unusual.
Well, in the meantime, I was absorbed in learning regeneration magic for Min-ha’s treatment, so I neglected the master a little.
I stopped by every week, but he brought me food and immediately went to Luciel and me to learn magic.
Last week, I brought food and went straight to Luciel… .
I just said that I would buy the food I wanted to eat, but I forgot every time, so I went ahead with the excuse that I had no money.
Thinking back on it, I wasn’t just a little negligent, I was completely negligent.
If it wasn’t for Master, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
“Ah, that… .”
“I said something stupid. He said he’s been very busy lately. It seems that things are still very bad. sorry… .”
I thought I would say that I came empty-handed, but now that the master is like this, I feel more sorry.
“no.”
“No… . Are you eating rice? We still have some ramen left, so let’s go and eat some of them together.”
Wow, what a real thrill.
I followed the master and reached the cave.
“I’ll bring you ramen, so light it up.”
“there… Master, have I neglected you a lot? sorry.”
“Sorry what? You work hard to support me. I’ll be back with ramen soon, so make a fire.”
“Master, you don’t have to come out without bringing ramen.”
At the same time as he spoke, he raised a strong qi and leveled the floor in front of the cave.
I think this should be enough.
In fact, I did not come empty-handed.
I bought a lot of food, including chicken, in the subspace, and I was sorry that I had neglected it, so I prepared a special gift.
“What are you doing to light a fire?”
“I didn’t come empty-handed.”
As I smiled and raised my energy and used magic, a black sphere appeared and spit out my gift.
“Isn’t this a camper?”
Maybe it’s because I’ve watched a lot of WeTube videos, but I can recognize the master at a glance.
“Yes, it is a camping car. Let’s go inside.”
It was equipped with a large TV, a soft bed, a refrigerator and a microwave, and even an air fryer that Master wanted the most.
“Isn’t this an air fryer?”
“Yes, that’s right. Crispy chicken, now you can enjoy it to your heart’s content.”
A long time ago, the master asked me to use an air fryer.
It’s not long for an air fryer, but the problem was electricity.
Because the air fryer is a product that consumes a lot of power. Of course, if you store freshly fried chicken with subspace magic, it will remain crispy.
But I can’t take it out every time I eat.
At first, I thought of a small generator, but it is loud and requires constant replenishment of oil.
So what I came up with was a camper.
Even a camper needs oil to move, but if you leave it in one place anyway, you don’t need oil.
Electricity can be charged by solar panels installed on the ceiling.
Since it is a sliding type, it can be charged up to 2,000 amps when fully unfolded.
“I heard that this is very expensive… .”
It cost quite a bit to install additional solar panels and remodel by entrusting it to a professional company, but it didn’t cost too much since I bought the camper itself used.
It’s not that much money compared to the money I had in the first place.
“No matter how expensive it is, it’s nothing compared to what Master did for me.”
“Shin Hyuk you, you son of a bitch… .”
It’s an expression of complete admiration.
Each one kindly explained how to use it.
My favorite was the air fryer, but I also liked the TV quite a bit.
Well, it must be a new world after watching it on a small screen like a laptop and then connecting it to a TV.
“I have a lot of food in the refrigerator, so if it says frozen, you can use the air fryer to eat it, and if you put alcohol in the refrigerator, you can enjoy it cool.”
“I really did have a good disciple.”
Seeing the master happy like a child makes me feel good and proud, but at the same time anxious.
Now, there really isn’t much time left to be with Master.
According to the original work, the main characters will come here for the retreat that will be held in October next year.
But at that time, Master is not here.
Of course, there are still 1 year and 3 months left until next October, but it wouldn’t be strange if it disappeared tomorrow.
Exactly when the master passed away was not shown in the original work.
Seeing the master humming a song and putting frozen dumplings into the air fryer, I think it will be okay for a while.
“Master.”
“Why? will you eat too? Shall we add some more?”
“If you put that much in at once, it won’t fry properly.”
“Is that so? Well, you can turn it once and then turn it again.”
“Master.”
“Why?”
“Live a long time. I’ll make you a lot of better things and buy you a lot of delicious things.”
