I invited him to eat lunch together several times, but he just left because he was so busy.
Actually, it doesn’t matter.
Now I can eat crispy chicken without him.
I took the schnel chicken out of the fridge and put it in the air fryer.
I was going to eat only one bag, but the amount was small, so I took out another one, put it in a basket, set the timer, and pressed the button.
After all, when he buys ice cream tomorrow, he needs a place to put it.
I also microwaved a piece of instant rice.
Chibap is the truth.
Yes, I should eat cup noodles too.
Humming a song, he came out and lit a bonfire and put a pot of water on it.
When the water boiled, I transferred it to a container of cup noodles and returned to the camper.
The ramen was cooked first, so while waiting for the chicken, I took out the noodles and rolled half of the rice into the soup.
The remaining half of the rice is eaten with chicken, and as a finishing touch, the rice wrapped in ramen soup is eaten while watching a variety show, and this is paradise.
After eating, I went out to incinerate the trash, but the space on the left split and an old man wearing a white coat and holding a knife appeared.
Looking at the outfit, it’s similar to the guys who came last time.
“Are you superfluous?”
Seeing him squeak in half-spoken words in the first meeting, it’s true.
“You seem to have come from the world of angels?”
Even before this old man came, people dressed similarly had come to ask for a top line.
“You were selected for the first place thanks to your merit in killing the evil dragon that appeared in the midfield 300 years ago, so let’s go together.”
The lines are also the same as those from last time.
“I have no idea.”
“yes? What do you mean?”
“I definitely told the ancestors who came to visit me last time. I don’t want the top line.”
“No, my dear, how could you refuse the top line?”
“Is there chicken in Seongye?”
“Chicken?”
“I wasn’t expecting it, but still. Then what about pork belly? Mapo tofu? What about Jukyeopcheong, Yeahong, and Geumjoncheong?”
“Looking at it now, it seems you haven’t overcome your appetite yet. Look, if you become a sage, you don’t have to eat those kinds of food and alcohol… .”
“Does such a life have meaning?”
“Heh heh, to refuse the top line just because of eating… .”
“It’s not just about eating. I can live without eating.”
“what? Then why… .”
“Didn’t you just say that my ranking was determined by my achievements in defeating the evil dragon? Then why didn’t you come to me right away?”
“That’s because you moved to another dimension with the witchcraft of the evil dragon.”
“That was a long time ago. I’m asking what the celestial world did while I was stuck in the mountains to lift the evil dragon’s curse.”
“… .”
“If I had come a little earlier in the world of celestial beings, my close friends and my close friends’ children… . I wouldn’t have come here and spent decades alone in solitude.”
“It’s not that I don’t understand your feelings, but there is a thing called circumstances in the fairy world.”
“What is the matter? Then, since there are circumstances that I don’t want to be in first place, please go back.”
“It can’t be. If people of your strength remain undefeated, there will be chaos in the world. Furthermore, isn’t this world a different dimension from where you originally lived?”
“Don’t worry if it’s confusing. I have no intention of disturbing the world. It just stays here.”
“This is unacceptable. If you don’t want to follow me, I have no choice but to take you by force, so please follow me when I say good things.”
“Forcing… . Do you have the strength to do that?”
The guys who came last time also said they didn’t like it, so they said they would take it by force, so they helped me a little.
“Heh heh, since I’ve lived so long, I hear all the voices of the stars. You are the first person to say such a thing to me, swordsman Yeo Dong-bin.”
“A sword? Back when I was roaming the rivers, my nickname was swordsman.”
“It’s a swordsman… hahahaha. Maybe it’s because he’s an unmanned person, but he’s full of confidence. great. Then we’ll decide by dueling.”
“Good. But before that, I want to move the location a bit.”
I’m not afraid of the black line, but if I fight that bastard, this place will be completely ruined.

“Sir Kang? Teacher Kang!”
“Yes… Yeah? What are you doing?”
“I asked you three times if you finished reviewing the final exam papers… .”
“ah… It’s not yet. Well, you can do it at lunchtime.”
“Can you finish everything by lunchtime? You have to get paid before work today.”
“You can do it… .”
“Why are you so weak? It seems like it’s been like this since last week, what happened?”
“It’s a job. No.”
A week has already passed since the master disappeared.
I called the vice-principal and searched every nook and cranny of the portal, spending my annual leave until Monday, but I couldn’t find anything.
Did you really make a fable? .
Not a single hem of his clothes, not a strand of hair remained.
I’ve never done a fable, so I don’t know how it goes, but I never expected it to disappear like this without leaving a single word.
It’s like a heartless inspiration.
“No, looking at your expression, something happened. I also write annual leave on Monday… . Maybe a love problem?”
“I’d rather be like that… No, nothing. I’ll go first because of that inquiry.”
It’s been a week already, but the shock doesn’t go away.
I have no mind.
work is out of hand
When I said I would buy you something delicious and treat you better, you said yes… .
Wait a little longer, what was so urgent.
“That, yes. I don’t know what’s going on, but cheer up. A glass of soju tonight… No, I said something stupid.”
I said good work to Mr. Park, who was talking gibberish by himself, and left the teachers’ room.
I went up to the classroom, checked in, and arrived at the swordsmanship training ground.
“Good morning, Mr. Kang!”
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Jeong Eun-shik, who is in charge of swordsmanship in the first year, greets you warmly.
“Ah, yes.”
what a good morning… .
While I was turning on my laptop, Mr. Chung approached me.
“Mr. Kang, here.”
What card are you handing out… hahahaha, this is a wedding invitation.
“congratulations. You said you were preparing the other day, and you are finally leaving.”
“Yes. After 2 weeks, I finally get married. It’s Sunday, if you have time… .”
“Yes, that’s fine. I’ll go.”
“really? thank you.”
If it were another practical teacher, I would have rejected it without thinking, but Eunsik Jung did not ignore me after being transferred this year, and I got along quite well because he was friendly with people.
You’ve been laughing since morning, so there’s a reason.
“Does Mr. Kang meet anyone?”
“do not have.”
“really? I think Mr. Kang can meet anyone if he puts his mind to it.”
“You are over-praised. Even if you don’t talk like that, I’ll go to the wedding.”
“It’s not a compliment, it’s sincere, but in case of celibacy… ?”
“It’s not really like that. I just have a lot of things to do, so I don’t have time for dating… .”
I was at school on weekdays and went to my master every weekend unless there was something special.
“I have quite a few nice female friends around me, can I introduce you?”
“Oh, no. it’s okay.”
Mr. Chung suggested it again, but I replied that it was really okay and left the office.
What is dating in the yard where work is out of hand… .
When I went to the 2nd grade training ground, the kids were there, probably because time was running out.
After class, I packed my laptop and headed to the dormitory.
Today’s lunch menu is cheese pork cutlet that goes into the best 3, but I don’t have an appetite.
I need to review my final exam papers.
I entered the room, took my laptop, and tore the leaves.
In an instant, the view changes to a familiar hill.
Using warp magic, they quickly moved to the camper parked next to the demon tree.
Luciel, sleeping without the world knowing.
I tried to go outside, but Luciel tossed and turned, as if he felt a presence, and woke up soon.
He looks at me once and leaves without saying anything.
Of course, I didn’t say anything either.
If it was like before, he would have greeted me with a smile, but in fact, I had an argument with Luciel a few days ago, about a few months ago here.
I couldn’t stop by Luciel for about two days because my master was gone and I was searching for it.
To be precise, it’s about two and a half days, but in this time, it’s 75 days, two and a half months.
I promised to stop by at least once a month, but I couldn’t keep it.
Even in the middle of the hectic, I prepared a lot of chocolate bars with a sorry heart, and I explained all the reasons why I came late.
I apologized for being sorry first.
Knowing that Luciel was originally a rough-mouthed and nasty guy, he expected some grumbling and tried to endure it.
Because I didn’t keep my promise in the first place.
But the guy crossed the line.
very hard too.
‘Does it make sense that you forgot about me just because that old man died?’
He’s an old man… .
Even if I put up with all the other words, I just couldn’t get past this word.
Master wasn’t the only one who taught me martial arts.
If it weren’t for Master, I couldn’t exist today.
He is the benefactor who saved me from becoming a third-rate extra because I stupidly didn’t say I would become the main character.
In the first place, the word master (師父) itself is a word created by combining the words teacher and father.
Even though we didn’t share a drop of blood, I considered Master to be my family.
I demanded an apology from Luciel, but he snorted and scratched my insides even more.
‘How long have you lived? As a human being, I wish I had lived that long.’
When I heard this, I showed superhuman patience and demanded an apology once again, even if I really wanted to blow off the cheek.
But he didn’t even listen.
so we went wrong
We’ve been here a few times since our quarrel, but he and I don’t say a word to each other like a cow looks at a chicken, and a chicken looks at each other like a cow.
It was definitely my fault for breaking the promise, but I don’t want to lose to him this time.
In the original work, the main characters do not seek Luciel after learning all the magic.
Lee Ji-seong was originally a selfish guy who blew away his personality to Andromeda, so even so, even Kim Do-hyun doesn’t look for Luciel, who likes him, saying it’s burdensome.
However, even after mastering all my magic, I was determined to continue looking for him.
Even after learning all the theory, even if there was nothing to do with paperwork, she would visit Luciel at all times, even during lunchtime or sleeping time, if there was nothing special to do.
The main characters brought snacks that were not provided, brought a laptop for the bored guy, and downloaded e-books and videos.
I accepted everything that kept arguing about being ugly or tickling me.
Unlike the master, I learned magic through trading, but I think I took care of him as well as the master.
Even on the day the master disappeared, if I hadn’t stopped by him, I would have been able to have my last meal with the master.
Luciel, that guy isn’t comforting… .
oops, that’s it
Thinking more makes me sick.
I thought I had to do something, so I turned on my laptop and started working.
After reviewing and organizing, two hours passed.
To be honest, I didn’t have much to fix, but it took quite a long time because I couldn’t get things done because I was distraught.
I may be here for another thirteen hours or so, but I intend to return right away.
People often say that time is medicine, but being alone only deepens your depression.
I took out a leaf from my wallet in my bosom… Sigh.
There is only one demon tree leaf left.
Going outside and picking leaves is a very easy thing to do, but leaves without Luciel’s magic imprint have no effect.
I didn’t want to talk to you first, but I couldn’t help it.
I thought about just tearing it up, but no matter what, it’s not like this.
Coming out of the camper, I see Luciel sitting with her back against the demon tree.
When I looked at him, he jerked his head away. I thought about tearing off the leaves, but I held back and approached him.
“There is one demon tree leaf left.”
Fortunately, he turns his head towards me… No, you bastard! So what are you saying?
“If you use the last one, it will take a long time… No, maybe I won’t be able to come back here.”
To come here without the leaves of the demon tree, you have to cut down the statue on the 3rd floor of the Black Temple.
I learned warp magic, but warp magic is magic that moves through space.
There is no problem moving to Japan, but the Black Temple is inside the portal, and there are self-defense units at the entrance and inside the portal.
Of course, you can break through as much as you want.
But would you risk going through such a complicated thing and come see him again?
-what… I can forgive you if you apologize first.
Forgiveness? It’s ridiculous.
“You apologized last time for not keeping your promise.”
―You didn’t just apologize, you were mad at me!
“That’s what you master… done.”
It hurts my mouth to say more.
I took a leaf out of my wallet.
