Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully – Chapter 94

The Black Divine Tree

Choi A-yeon was a thoughtful person. Much more so than others.

‘What on earth happened at Bukhansan [a mountain in Seoul]?’

‘And Meteor’s power is beyond imagination. If we had been hostile there, no one would have made it out alive.’

‘…Excessive nervousness, they said. They weren’t wrong. And in my view, he was closer to a wild beast than a human.’

Lost in thought, she walked past the sealed black tree and arrived at a place filled with traces of battle.

As Meteor had said, all sorts of things were scattered around.

As Meteor had said, it was full of bullet holes, and broken firearms were lying around.

She picked up a firearm that had fallen at her feet.

“This is….”

There were several types of firearms.

However, the firearm in her hand was one she knew very well.

It was an old-fashioned firearm that the South Korean military used in the past.

The current South Korean military uses the KR-4.

The one in her hand was the KR-3, a firearm developed before that.

Why do the Elves have this?

The answer was simple.

‘Someone embezzled military supplies.’

Since South Korea is still a country where firearms are prohibited, firearms are strictly controlled.

Old-fashioned firearms that are no longer used were either in storage or used only in certain areas.

But the fact that it’s here means… someone embezzled it.

And they were bold enough to embezzle firearms.

‘…I really should be grateful.’

‘If they hadn’t told me about this and it had blown up over there, things would have gotten much bigger.’

‘So, they’ve conceded a point. They know it’s going to collapse if things continue like this.’

After much thought, Choi A-yeon took a long breath and placed the firearm she was holding back on the ground.

Then, she snapped her fingers and used her superpower.

The ground flipped over, swallowing everything.

Several corpses of dead Elves, as well as firearms and fallen bullets.

The earth rose up and buried them, and she took a long breath and turned away.

“Is this guy calling someone over and then sleeping?”

Shua-Niel climbed onto Meteor’s back, who was lying motionless on the hotel bed, and slapped him.

She had been told to call him, so she stopped the game she was playing and came up, but he was sound asleep and had no intention of waking up.

“Meteor, wake up. How can you sleep after calling me over?”

Slap, slap, slap….

The sound of Shua-Niel patting Meteor’s broad back echoed clearly.

He hadn’t been asleep for long.

After finishing the battle, he came down from Bukhansan, roughly cleaned up, and returned to the hotel. He fell asleep as soon as he finished showering.

He hadn’t even dried his hair properly, so it was still a little damp.

“This bastard….”

Whether she was tired of hitting him, Shua-Niel lay down on his back and gasped for breath.

There were many small handprints of Shua-Niel on his back.

“He said he’d wake up if he slept a little, so let’s just wait a moment.”

“I’m tired just from coming all the way here.”

“You came sitting comfortably, what are you talking about….”

Sitting at the table next to the bed, she was looking at a tablet and dealing with pending work.

Seo Yeon-jung was also helping her with her work.

So Shua-Niel, who was left alone, had no choice but to vent her anger on Meteor.

Shua-Niel kept bothering Meteor, and when he didn’t wake up, she just lay there and closed her eyes.

Whether it was because she had been playing games all night because Yoo Ji-woo and Meteor were not at home, her eyes were flickering.

And soon she fell asleep.

She’s terribly old, but what she does is really like a child.

Yoo Ji-woo glanced at Shua-Niel and smiled softly, then took a sip of coffee and focused on her work again.

She had to overcome the aftermath of this incident.

She had to take the benefits she could get and build the roof firmly in preparation for the storm.

Others must be doing similar things now.

‘…I’ll probably be the busiest.’

Baek Woo-hyun is an executive of the Bonkuk Sword Society, and Red Dragon is a guild, not a company.

The Magic Tower or the Five Color Shaman Association have more manpower than Meteor Industries.

Even now, there is a lot of work to be done back at headquarters, but she could not go down until she dealt with the black tree sealed in Bukhansan.

That would be the same for others.

And the most important key to attacking that black tree was with Shua-Niel, who was lying on top of Yoo Seong-woo and starting to sleep.

Meteor said that Shua-Niel knew more about that black tree than anyone else.

Even if it was corrupted, the divine tree was a divine tree, and the world tree was a world tree.

Shua-Niel, who had experience of becoming one with the world tree, would be the most helpful in removing that black tree.

‘When I see her like that, I can’t really trust her….’

Especially with her recent actions.

She only plays games all day, sleeps when she wants to sleep… eats when she wants to eat… If you were to pick the biggest freeloader in the Yoo family, it would be Shua-Niel.

Yoo Ji-woo sincerely thought that she should send Shua-Niel to school when she returned this time.

It can’t be good to be stuck at home all day playing games.

Of course, it was a biased view of a normal person who doesn’t enjoy playing games.

“Haa….”

She took a long breath and turned her head to look out the window.

The sun was setting now.

The downtown area, made up of high-rise buildings, dyed with the red sunset, looked somehow precarious.

As if it could collapse at any moment.

* * *

“Kuweul.”

Meteor woke up in the early hours of the morning.

Yoo Ji-woo, who had been working until dawn without sleeping, turned her head at the strange noise Shua-Niel made as she fell from behind him.

“Oppa [term for older brother used by females], are you awake?”

“…What time is it?”

“Three in the morning. You slept for… about eight hours.”

“I woke up at just the right time.”

Just right meant he was hungry.

“Order something. I’m starving.”

“…Oh my, really.”

Yoo Ji-woo ordered various things from the hotel room service.

Pasta, steak, etc.

The Yeonam Hotel, where they were staying, was thorough in this regard, so they received plenty of food even in the early hours of the morning.

Meteor picked up a greasy chicken leg and smacked his lips.

“Is this the famous 50,000 won chicken….”

It’s ridiculous.

The era of 50,000 won for a chicken has really come.

Even if it’s hotel room service, it’s ridiculous….

It was a collaboration with the most famous chicken franchise, Swordmaster Chicken, and was called ‘Premium Golden Olive Chicken’.

It seemed like you could feel the crispiness just by looking at it.

First, without sauce, one bite.

The sound of crispiness echoed in the quiet room, and at the same time, sweet juice filled his mouth.

Has there ever been a chicken in the world that has brought this much satisfaction?

At least as far as Meteor remembers, there was absolutely none.

But it was too early to overlook it. It was still far from realizing the true value of this chicken.

He held the chicken leg and carefully dipped it in the red sauce that came with it.

It was said that this sauce was also made directly in the kitchen.

A color like a pure flame, as if the fire spirit had refined it well.

You could gauge how skilled the chef was.

He puts the chicken leg with the sauce in his mouth and savors the happiness, picking out only the bones.

A fantastic combination of spiciness and sweetness… this was definitely the food of the gods.

Yoo Ji-woo watched Meteor eating chicken and said.

“You’re making such a fuss about eating a chicken….”

“I have to be polite because it’s a different class of chicken.”

Meteor said that and this time he picked up the breast.

The boneless breast was tender and not dry.

Just as he was about to dip it in the sauce again and put it in his mouth, Shua-Niel, who jumped up from the side, bit his hand.

“…What are you doing?”

The Elves’ biting force wasn’t painful, but the chicken was taken away.

Shua-Niel, who took her mouth off his hand, smiled faintly and mumbled the chicken, then said.

“To take such a delicacy while I was asleep… No, in the first place, Meteor, you have no manners. How can you call someone and sleep for so many hours?”

“Was she always this talkative? I don’t think so in my memory.”

“Think carefully about who made me talk so much.”

Shua-Niel said that and was busy moving her hands.

She picked up a fork and started picking and eating everything.

Everything was delicious, so her face was slowly filled with happiness.

Meteor also ate aggressively to avoid being taken away.

Yoo Ji-woo watched the two of them and elegantly cut the steak, and soon the meal was over.

Meteor, who had slept enough and filled his stomach, sucked the sauce on his fingers and said.

“Is Nox taking care of Yoo-Wol?”

“Probably.”

“Then it’ll be okay. Shua-Niel, let’s go out for a bit.”

“Where to?”

“To the mountains.”

He meant to go check the black tree.

Seo Yeon-jung wiped Shua-Niel’s hands clean with a wet wipe.

Meteor also wiped himself roughly with a wet wipe and said.

“The best time to move secretly is dawn. You’ve eaten, so digest it. You lazy Elf.”

“It’s my nature to be relaxed, not lazy.”

“That’s the same thing… get up quickly.”

“If you run after eating….”

Shua-Niel grumbled but put on her clothes.

Meteor also put on the clothes he was taking off.

This time it wasn’t a shirt but a hoodie. Coincidentally, both of their hoodies were the same black color.

Yoo Ji-woo, who saw the sight, spat out.

“…You guys look like a real child and dad when you dress the same.”

At that, Shua-Niel tried to take off the hoodie she was wearing, but it got caught on her head and she fell to the floor.

Meteor was so dumbfounded that he kicked her twice with his foot and grabbed her hand to lift her up.

“I don’t want to be treated like your daughter either, so stay still.”

“…Okay.”

“Then I’ll be back, so take a rest. Stop looking at that. You’ll ruin your eyes.”

“What are you, my dad?”

“I was just worried about my sister….”

Meteor frowned and left the hotel with Shua-Niel.

Yoo Ji-woo, who was left alone with Seo Yeon-jung, laughed softly and opened her mouth.

“Oppa is really oppa no matter how much time passes….”

“Family ties are deep. And I think he wants to do something for you as much as he couldn’t until now.”

“Oppa?”

“Didn’t you know? He doesn’t complain much about things related to the CEO and comes forward. I think this is a similar context.”

“…Maybe that’s true.”

Meteor never refused her requests, even though he said he was annoyed and annoyed.

Helping Nox return home, or guarding the special Abyss.

If he really didn’t want to, he wouldn’t have granted the request. Because he has the power to do so.

She smiled again.

One way or another, it really felt like he was her brother.

Even if his appearance changed a little, the deep inside was still the same oppa.

The only blood relative she could rely on.

She said to Seo Yeon-jung.

“Unnie [term for older sister used by females], let’s take a break too. Until oppa comes back. I’m a little sleepy.”

Yoo Ji-woo got up from her seat, lay down on the bed, and said.

Seo Yeon-jung smiled softly at her words and replied.

“…Then I won’t refuse.”
