148 – I Will Stand Alone

[ Okay. Just that. ]

Jinseong said that as if he was relieved to see Rise’s smiling face through her smartphone.

Jin-seong did not hide the satisfaction on her face as she saw Rise’s spirit gradually grow after being engulfed in delusion and then escaping from it.

[ Okay. Deep in thought is a good thing indeed, but doubt always accompanies it. If you don’t hold on to your center, you will be swept away by the huge waves and drift. ]

After saying that, Jinseong took a look at Rise’s outfit.

[By the way, your clothes are disheveled. It was late at night, so the wind would be cold, so it would be better to go inside and warm up before you catch a cold. ]

“Yes? Ah…”

Rise looked at her own clothes at Jinsung’s words.

The yukata was so thin and white that the color of her skin could be seen through.

It was so thin, probably because it was worn as a substitute for pajamas, and the weight of the fabric was so light that it fluttered and fluttered in the wind.

The yukata was disheveled, as if the wind had blown through it while Rise was in trouble, and the skin that had been tightly covered by the collar earlier was slightly exposed. Besides, they were even sticking to the body here and there, probably from sweating.

As soon as RiSe realized that fact, she turned her smartphone around.

Then, after fanning her hand a few times to cool her face, she casually pointed her smartphone back toward herself. However, unlike before, when the entire body or most of the upper body was illuminated, the zoom was pulled to the full, and only Rise’s face was illuminated.

Risse fanned his hand outside the smartphone and sent wind to cool his face, pretending nothing was wrong.

“It’s not that cold because it’s inside the shrine grounds. And thanks to the influence of the divine power, I don’t have to worry about minor illnesses. You don’t have to worry too much.”

[Is that so? ]

Even when Jinseong saw Rise’s face flushed red, he did not express himself and accepted his words.

[Even so, you should be sleeping. Coincidentally, the time is also getting closer to the celebration, so it’s not a good thing to walk around outside. So go inside and get some sleep. You don’t have to worry too much about the author Ryosuke… Okay. It is enough to have other politicians check and ostracize them. ]

After Jinseong said that, he stroked his chin and pondered.

[It would be better for him to take care of it on the auspicious day he said. Yes, if I don’t want to use my abilities, I have to be used as a tool. That’s right, it wouldn’t be bad to get entangled with warriors of the Yataedo Arang-ryu…]

“Yataedo Arangryu, are you talking about it?”

When Rise heard that word, he frowned slightly, as if a bad memory came to him.

It was because in the past, Rise had a history of going out secretly and having a lot of trouble getting entangled in a wild warrior of the Night Doarang style.

“I don’t have such good memories, but…”

A very persistent and obnoxious, yet strangely coercive manner of trying to entice herself, Rise found out about her deviation and was unable to even dream of going out for a while. Even came after her.

How awful it was, trapped like a bird in a cageIt was to the point where I felt like I was rotting away.

[I guess so. After getting entangled in some idiot and suffering. ]

Rise, who was making a displeased expression, was startled by Jinseong’s words.

“Do you know about that?”

[It’s natural. ]

Jinseong was startled and smiled at RiSe, who asked herself.

[Thanks to you, I came to know your existence, and this gentleman’s existence. ]

“Yes?”

[It is said that the connection between cause and effect was thanks to that soldier. ]

At those words, Rise could only stare blankly at Jinseong.

His mouth was slightly open, perhaps in great surprise, and he was looking at him with strangely unfocused eyes, as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.

[It is a truly terrible tribe to be called uninhabited, and there was nothing useful, and there were no connections, and the only thing they had was trash that had gone to the underworld. Ya Tae-tae’s relationship with Ah-rang and Ryu was cut off, and he was the only one left to live a lower-class life. ]

Jinseong started talking about Mu-in.

[ hahahaha. Are you surprised? Is it so surprising that the bad fate that approached you in the past has reached here as well? ]

“Yes? Yes… No, it’s amazing.”

Rise looked at Jinseong as if wondering what the hell this was all about.

[I’ll tell you first. The chi, entangled with you in resentment, is dead. ]

“Yes?”

[So, you don’t have to worry at all that Eunwon’s chain will spin around and attack you. ]

Rise opened her eyes once again when she was told that the warrior had died.

She was so startled that her fox ears protruded from her ears and twitched, and her bountiful tail pierced the yukata in an immaterial form, revealing itself in a lively motion that seemed to reveal its emotions.

[It’s called Cheonmanghoesoibulsil (天網恢恢疎而不失). Heaven’s net is wide and sloppy, but it doesn’t let go of the wicked. The vengeance, which seemed to have ended only with being deported to Korea, was finished by my hand, so how can this not be called the mystery of fate? ]

Jinseong said while looking at the fox ears that were moving.

[That idiot is a man who will live with only bad influence, so it is no different from a monstrosity that poisons and contaminates the land, and it is garbage that gives off a stench and spreads its harm everywhere. For I, the first to see, labored to remove it. ]

RiSe nodded her head involuntarily at his words.

The horrible encounter she had with Mu-ji and the impression she had after hearing about the Mu-ji’s behavior and past made her spontaneously express the affirmation.

[He died at the bottom of the cave where no sunlight penetrated, and his body became food for worms and his soul rotted and became unable to escape from there. Just the use of useless things. No matter how useless it is, it was useful enough to move cause and effect and connect the strings of relationships. ]

Jinsung said that and closed his eyes.

And he spoke in a very benevolent voice.

[What is useless while alive is virtuous only after death. However, giving virtue is goodness, and this has nothing to do with life or death. Perhaps even if the idiot died, he would have closed his eyes in gratitude for the good karma he had accumulated, and would have held in his hands a thread that would lead him to paradise. In a fleeting lifeIt made sense, so that’s a really good thing. Om Mani Padme Hum (ॐ मणि पद्मे हूँ)… ]

Jinseong lightly prayed for the man who would have become a ghost after he died and said to Rise.

[ Okay. You now know that the person you had a grudge with has died, and you know that I came to this place and was saved because of that enemy. How are you feeling? ]

“… It’s complicated. But I think he died well…”

Risse had an expression that he didn’t know what to say.

Jinseong said that expression hahahahaand burst into laughter.

[ Okay. That’s it. The death of that author was not due to being entangled with you, but only because of my karma. In other words, it’s no different from the corpse washed up from upstream while you’re sitting on the estuary, thinking about the man and getting irritated. ]

“Yes. God’s words… Are correct.”

[If so, I will ask. Since the enemy has been avenged, is the place where the enemy’s feet landed and the place where the enemy put his body are completely irrelevant now? ]

Rise pondered over Jinseong’s question.

However, the answer came easily without having to worry for a long time.

From noble mtl dot com

“No.”

[ Yes. ]

In response, Jin-seong nodded his head.

[The owner and his traces must have a sympathetic bond, and there is a sticky cause and effect. It influences each other and creates an unbroken link, which is shamanistic empathy. Just as you can’t talk about the present without taking the past, the wrongdoing of the warrior must also be related to the trajectory of life. The place where they were fed, clothed, and taught was Yataedo Arangryu. ]

“Yes. I don’t have bad feelings, but I don’t have good feelings either.”

[ Okay. In other words, even if something happens with a politician as bait, there is no regret. ]

Rise nodded at Jinsung’s words, then slightly opened his lips as if thinking of something. But he closed his lips tightly as if to swallow the question again, then slithered back as if to say something. Then he looked elsewhere and asked Jinseong sneakily.

“God, God Lord. By any chance… If I said I had good feelings…”

[If I had said that, of course I would have chosen another place. ]

Jinsung replied as if it were natural.

“Is that so? Is it natural?”

[ Okay. It’s natural. ]

At those words, Rise’s face softened.

She smiled and covered her own cheek with one of her free hands, wiggling her fingers.

[ Okay. Apparently, it’s late and it looks like everyone has reached the room, so I’ll end the call. ]

“Yes.”

The smile did not leave RiSe’s face.
