Solo Swordmaster

Episode #157. Please cooperate.

The greatest broadcast accident ever.

What happened to the music challenge could be summarized in those two words.

Not only did all the contestants abstain from the first live broadcast, but even an accident occurred in which an audience member was almost injured.

It was a major accident that could not be rectified with any player’s skills.

However, if we only discuss the evaluation of the music challenge itself, it could be summarized in two other words.

It’s a great broadcast.

The reason was the song given as a challenge task.

The fantastic melody itself, which makes your heart tremble just by listening to it, was enough to become an issue.

In addition, just listening to the performance adds to the mystery of listening to the song, so anyone who has heard it once has no choice but to be interested.

Because of that, KTB is in a mess right now.

On the one hand, while dealing with the live broadcast accident, on the other hand, responding to inquiries about the project song, Kim Seung-joon was blinded.

But he is the one who put him in this situation.

Limon wasn’t even worried about the music challenge.

I was just grumbling about what happened on set.

“Did something like that happen?”

“Yeah, I thought it would be annoying if I stayed there, so I got out right away.”

“You’ve worked hard.”

“What kind of suffering is suffering? It’s just that I don’t like the fact that something I did almost caused an accident.”

Limon put on a disapproving expression.

It was only a plot to prank one Mun Chun-yeop, and if someone was injured because of it, the end result would not have been very clear.

Seeing him like that, Li Qingyu smiled.

“Anyway, it’s good that the swordsman was there and stopped the accident from escalating.”

“…”

“Why is that?”

“I’m glad you said it, but I’m a little uncomfortable with something.”

“Do you think the accident was not an accident?”

Li Qingyu asked seriously.

I don’t know if anyone else

The fact that Limon, who had superhuman senses, felt uncomfortable with it was not something that could just be passed over as a whim.

But Limon shook his head.

“There was nothing suspicious about it. It just feels like I’m missing something.”

“Well, if it wasn’t an accident, the swordsman would have noticed it long ago.”

Li Qingyu puts on a convinced expression.

Unlike her, Limon couldn’t resolve his questionable expression.

It was an accident that was likely to happen, and there was nothing particularly strange about the process. Because something kept bothering me.

As if thinking it was disapproval of the accident, Li Qingyu calmly comforted him.

“Don’t worry too much about it. Anyway, you accomplished what the Swordsman intended, right?”

“Well that’s it.”

Limon shook his head.

An accident in the middle ruined my mood, but looking at the results, it was close to success.

Music Challenge was originally a program that Moon Chun-yeop ruined.

Just putting it up like this gave Yeon-hwa the feeling of being able to press down on Moon Cheon-yeop holding Claire.

Of course, it was necessary to go through a more complicated process to get there.

So it was.

That is why Na-kyung Yun carefully opened her beak.

[I have something to ask the manager.]

“What do you mean?”

[You made this up. Is it because of Yujin unnie?]

“…Why do you think that?”

[Yeah, this job isn’t like a team leader.]

Basically, Limon is a swordsman.

He was someone who preferred to just cut things off with a knife rather than twist things.

Nevertheless, Yuna-kyung couldn’t help but think of Yu-jin because she had raised her job like this and played that way at Music Challenger.

Shut your mouth and be silent for a while.

Limon finally nodded.

“There was no reason for that, there was.”

[Ah, of course?]

Yuna-kyung agreed to that answer.

Unlike her, Li Qingyu asked with an unexpected look.

“Are you saying that you deliberately raised things like this for the ghosts of the Liberation Brigade?”

“It wasn’t really like that. I just didn’t like the way someone tried to play with his song.”

“…You mean he doesn’t care, but you wanted to protect his song?”

“To be clear, I have no intention of covering him up. Because he was a murderer.”

Li Qingyu tilted her head.

Limon told her right off the bat.

Eugene hurt innocent people, and that is an absolutely unacceptable sin.

Even if Eugene is alive, he will definitely find her and kill her.

“But that’s no reason why he should be insulted by strangers for stealing other people’s songs.”

It doesn’t matter if you curse and hate Eugene as a murderer, and spit on his grave.

It’s true, and she’s guilty of that.

However, it was unacceptable for Eugene to steal all sorts of false accusations and steal her songs just because she was a murderer.

because that’s not right

That’s why I made sure that no one steals Eugene’s song.

Watching Limon talk calmly, Yuna-kyung muttered with a mysterious expression.

[…Your team leader also lives a very complicated life.]

“You must be too simple.”

Limon snorted away at Yuna-kyung’s words.

Then, as if he had just remembered, he turned to Li Qingyu and asked.

“Princess, come to think of it, what happened to the White Dragon Princess? I think you said you wanted to show him that program, but he hasn’t come yet?”

“Um… that’s a bit complicated.”

“complication?”

“yes. It looks like they’ve already come, but it looks like they’re sneaking around.”

“…After receiving an invitation, what else are you doing?”

“well. I can’t fathom the intent.”

Li Qingyu smiled and added another word.

“Because she is from the White Dragon clan.”

I don’t know if it’s from another clan.

There is nothing as meaningless as guessing the White Dragon Clan’s ulterior motives.

Looking at Li Qingyu, who spoke so naturally, Limon let out a laugh.

In the end, it was four days after the conversation that the White Dragon Princess came to Leviathan.

“It’s been a while, Ainsha.”

“That’s right. Long time no see. It would have been nice if it had been longer.”

“That is disappointing. I wanted to see Ainsha more often.”

“It is a lie. I don’t believe in Li Qingyuan.”

A black-haired girl in an oriental dress.

Li Qingyu chuckled.

“Then, should we meet more often from now on to find out if what I said is a lie or not?”

A white-haired girl in a sky-blue dress.

Ainsha replied expressionlessly.

“No confirmation needed. The fact that Li Qingyu is a liar is a truth that even the ancestors know. The proof is over.”

From the standpoint of being invited as a guest, that was a little overly rude.

However, Li Qingyu was not particularly angry.

Rather, I just said it as if I was admiring it.

“You have grown so much.”

“of course. I have changed. I will no longer be fooled by Li Qingyu.”

“Sorry to say that. I’ve never really cheated on Ainsha.”

“I cheated. I was very outspoken about money. I was very upset.”

“The expression that I ripped off money is a bit like that. I was just accepting donations to do something that would benefit the entire Seven Dragons.”

“The swordsman said that if we didn’t pay, the swordsman would come to catch us. It is a scam.”

Ainsha shuddered.

When I met Li Qingyu before.

I had to be made fun of by the entire Seven Dragons because I fell for her words and took out a huge amount of money.

However, Li Qingyu objected with a serious face.

“No, it’s not a scam. If it hadn’t been for Ainsha’s help, that would really have happened.”

“…I want to know if it’s true.”

“Of course. Ainsha knew that too, so you donated, right?”

“That’s right.”

“I am always in awe of it. As expected, it was an act worthy of a princess of the White Dragon Clan, who made the wisest choice.”

“There is nothing to admire. No wonder.”

Ainsha, showing off his expressionless expression.

Seeing this, Li Qingyu smiled brightly.

“Keuhm keuhm!”

An overt coughing sound.

After hearing that, Ainsha looked back and flinched when she saw Tata with his flounder eyes open.

Then, facing Li Qingyu again, he said bluntly.

“Even if I say something to cheer you up, it’s no use. I’m not fooled. Please clarify the main point.”

“What main point are you talking about?”

“This is the purpose of calling me.”

“Would you not believe me if I told you that I have missed seeing your face for the first time in a long time?”

“Of course. The Black Dragon Clan will not do anything without a purpose.”

“I’m sorry that you seem to have prejudice against our clan, but… Yes, at least for this case, it’s as you said.”

Li Qingyu readily nodded.

And in a calm tone, he revealed the reason for inviting her.

“You know that our clan was attacked by the Liberation Brigade this time, right?”

“I know. famous.”

“I want help for that.”

“understand.”

Ainsha nodded.

From the moment he invited himself to this situation, he already knew that Li Qingyu’s purpose was foresight.

This kind of request was familiar to her.

Whether as a princess of the Seven Dragons.

Whether as a shrine maiden of the Taoist Federation.

It was because there were always those who wanted to borrow her power, the best prophet of the time.

Of course, he didn’t lend his foresight to anyone, but Li Qingyu, the Princess of the Black Dragon, was well qualified to make this request.

Only if he hadn’t been engaged to Limon.

Due to marriage with the family’s nemesis, the current position of the Black Dragon Clan is in a delicate state even in the Seven Dragons.

This work required a lot of political consideration in that even the Baekryong clan could be ignored.

“great. I will help you.”

Nevertheless, Ainsha responded immediately, and Tata, who would have cleared his throat again, remained silent this time.

Li Qingyu also took it for granted.

If he hadn’t been willing to cooperate in the first place, he wouldn’t have accepted his invitation.

Above all, she had a hidden card that convinced her that she could convince Ainsha.

“Funding if you want. We also send out armed forces. Instead, there are conditions.”

“Please speak.”

“I want to meet the man in this video. Please help.”

“Would you like to hear him play?”

Li Qingyu chuckled.

It was as expected that even though she was the princess of the Seven Dragons, Ainsha, an eccentric wandering the world to sing, would be interested in the performance.

That’s why they spent a huge amount of money to help prepare for the music challenge.

I thought that the more appetizing the bait I prepared, the easier it would be to enlist the cooperation of the White Dragon.

In the end, we couldn’t show the music challenge, but since we were promised cooperation, it was a good thing.

But right after that.

Li Qingyu couldn’t help but tilt his head.

“you’re right. no.”

“What does that mean?”

“I want to hear you play. But that’s a bonus. There are other important matters.”

“Is it an important business?”

Li Qingyu is puzzled by the slightly unexpected answer.

Ainsha declared to her.

“I will meet this man and propose to him.”

“yes?”

“This is my destiny. I have decided to be the sire. So please cooperate.”

“…”

If you cooperate in marrying this man, he will generously lend you the power of the White Dragon clan.

The tablet you gave me.

Seeing Ainsha pointing to the black-haired Limon stamped on one side and talking, Li Qingyu put on a rare expression of speechlessness.

And involuntarily, he muttered blankly.

“…I didn’t expect this.”

The bait was too much.

She realized it too late.
