24 – To Japan
After breakfast, everyone scattered to their rooms.
Returning to the room, Jin-seong recalled an awkward, but obviously respectful, conversation.
‘The Lee family was originally like this.’
It must be because they have a good heart that they treat Jinseong this way, a stone that has rolled in and can be uncomfortable for both the Patriots Association and the National Patriots Association. Also, it must have been their warm heart to continue to approach him awkwardly, even though he was crazy about witchcraft and hadn’t built up a proper bond.
In particular, unlike Se-Rin Lee, who gave off an awkward atmosphere with her whole body, A-Rin Lee actively approached him and tried to accept him as her family. Didn’t you approach him while saying brother, brother just a little while ago?
That’s why Jinseong hoped that Arin Lee would win in Japan.
At least I wanted to give you a present before leaving the mansion and becoming independent.
Wasn’t everyone happy?
Jin-seong can use the two sisters to avoid the fate that prevents him from entering Japan, Se-rin Lee can obtain a divine object, and A-rin Lee gets a chance to experience various shaman’s secrets and practical experience.
Isn’t it a win-win!
But if there is one problem.
‘Hmm.’
It was Iarin’s state of mind.
Even before returning, I saw her casually destroying Kyoto, so there is no need to worry about suffering from trauma or PTSD.
At least she didn’t have enough prominence to listen to Jinseong’s ears. Before she returned, she hadn’t even heard of the story that she married someone and started a family, so she either lived quietly like a petit bourgeois, or she gave up her unmanned path in frustration after experiencing something.
If it was the former, what she could get from Japan would be of great help to her, but if it were the latter, it could be something that would cut off her Arin’s growth right away.
“ॐ गम गणपतये नमः.”
During her mercenary life, she saw many such people.
When new recruits who are strong enough, in good shape, and high-spirited go out on their first mission and suffer from nightmares before quitting. They were strong enough in body, but not strong in mind, and they were newbies who did not know how to train their minds or put hard armor on their weak minds.
Mental.
Great spirit.
It happened only because I didn’t know the importance of it.
No matter how important the body is, it is limited to life. Even if you have a trained body, it is meaningless if you are learning third-class martial arts that cannot move it properly, and even if you are born with a long lifespan, if you have a mind full of laziness, isn’t human life less than a rolling piece of meat?
The mind is an intangible force that transcends the sick body and moves the body until the end, even if it cannot resist the approaching lifespan.
Wasn’t it only the mind, the clean mind, that led the body, which was no different from a corpse, even if only Jinseong was present?
If you want one with your heart and sincerely, your mind will naturally be trained.
“ॐ गम गणपतये नमः.”
Which side is Iarin?
From noble mtl dot com
Is she the kind of person who can forge their minds into one like Jinseong?
Are you a person who lives by putting armor on a lacking spirit like Serene?
“ॐ गम गणपतये नमः.”
Jin Seong-eunRemembered the past
The time when we hurriedly left the mansion to avoid the future of becoming fetters to each other.
At that time, I had nothing and I was busy taking care of my own business, so I couldn’t give a proper gift. After that, he ran without rest, looking only at transcendence, and later set himself on fire and oxidized with magic.
You never know what will happen to your new life.
However, the future has changed and the ability has been developed.
Shouldn’t you be getting at least one present?
Iarin should receive a present.
Even if you can’t receive a gift, isn’t it enough if you solve that too.
What makes it possible to receive a gift will also be a gift.
However, a gift should be something you want, so you need to know exactly what Iarin wants.
It is not a wish that comes out of your mouth, it is not a wish that comes out of your eyes.
It’s just a wish from the heart, a wish from the heart.
In order to do that, you will need to squeeze a little more information.
The more cards you have, the better, and the more information you accumulate, the better.
‘It’s truly intangible gold.’
Bite – ripe.

As soon as she came out of the restaurant, this serin said to this arin.
“I think it would be better not to go to Japan.”
“What?”
At her words that jumped out of her context, Arin turned to her own brother. But Celine looked at her eyes with her dark circles down with her serious face, and she said it again.
“Go somewhere other than Japan.”
Arin said what did she mean by that? She tried to ask again, but when she realized that her expression was more serious than she thought, she asked something else.
“Why?”
It was a more fundamental question than she originally intended to ask.
Celine pondered for a moment what to say to her, then dragged her into her room and sat her on her bed. Her flimsy arms couldn’t possibly have the strength to drag the well-trained Arin, but this Arin was caught and dragged by her arms as if something was possessed by her.
Was it intuition, or was it the devil’s power that Lee Se-rin contracted?
This Serene opened her mouth after forcing her to sit on her bed.
“Iarin. Listen to me. The devil said. There’s a secret hidden deep inside, but I don’t know what it is. It smells like sunlight covered in straw and iron…”
“Sunshine? Steel?”
Arin looked at her and scratched her head.
“No, that. Ha… I don’t know that kind of symbolism~ Can’t you just explain it in an easy way?”
“Ignorant Iarin.”
“What?!”
Celine let out an accusation like she was breathing.
“A straw is a gift that is beyond daily use and is useful in many ways. In other words, it means a form that can be diversified into a beneficial form. It can become a rope. It can be burned and used as firewood, or it can be used as a scarecrow’s body by stuffing it into clothes.”
“Oh”
“Oh, it’s not… Ah, isn’t it supposed to be…? You learned this in the 1st grade liberal arts…”
“There was something like that.”
“Isn’t there such a thing… I don’t remember life and symbols…?”
With Lee Se-rin’s shocked face,Dali, Iarin smiled brightly.
“I don’t know. You slept all the time in first grade?”
Se-rin Lee gave up on explaining in detail at that innocent remark.
“I’ll just say it roughly… It’s helpful to us, but it doesn’t seem like it’s just going to be helpful… That’s what it is.”
“Anything that helps is fine~ What doesn’t help?”
‘People who learn martial arts are very smart… Why is Iarin…’
Is learned martial arts the problem?
Is it a side effect of martial arts learned through instinct and senses?
This Serene sighs at her innocent brain, which she doesn’t try to think in more than one dimension.
‘Sometimes, it’s not like a human being, it’s just an animal…’
[Isn’t that kind of cute? There are many times when simple things are cute rather than needlessly clever things. ]
Straw.
Sunlight.
Iron.
This Serene ignored the devil who said she was cute, and she imprinted three words in her head.
‘Instead of getting something, you pay something… ? Do you take risks instead of gaining something? What the hell…’
Lee Se-rin asked what the alternative devil meant to her, ‘the secret smell hidden by Jin-seong’, what ‘good information’ Jin-seong said, and… Where and how did she get that ‘good information’?
She thought she wanted to figure it all out.
At the same time, she thought it would be better for her to pass without her knowing.
‘If we go to Japan together, we’ll know… I hate the smell of secrets… What I don’t know is… I can’t help but wonder…’
However, she immediately shook her head and looked at Arin, who was rolling around like a bed in her own room.
‘A country that comes out as a hit and run… Okay. Whatever country comes out, I’ll just follow it…’

Straw refers to a beneficial form of talkativeness.
Straw was a gift and material for those who lived on food from the ground. It became a house to stay in, shoes to wear, and bags to be made by being tied and tangled together. When there was no firewood, it was an essential item for lighting a fire, making intestines, and even a heap of ashes made by burning it.
However, this benefit also has the meaning of ‘being beneficial to people’. In that symbolism, there is clearly something called ‘human’.
That is beneficial to people.
Beneficial thing.
Something that can change.
But what is good for people.
Just as its essence does not change even if its form changes over and over again, a straw, even if it is small and unattractive, must be beneficial to people. Whatever form it takes, it must be.
“Nah, you’ll be playing around the night, then you’ll see a seat, then go to bed.
Straw can be anything.
As long as there is a condition that it will be beneficial to people, anything can be in the form of shamanistic meaning. Isn’t it really easy to use and a good thing?
Thus, a densely woven and tied figure made entirely of straw was in front of Jinseong’s eyes.
It was a human figure shimmering and casting shadows in the light of a bright torch.
This is called Jeung.
