Solo Swordmaster

Episode #173. no problem.

* * *

A gray-haired girl with chopsticks.

After a bit of struggle, Ainsha picked up the savory pancake and put it in a bowl.

Then he asked Limon, who was sitting across from him, in a blunt voice.

“I want to know if you have ever been to the Divine Alliance of Lee.”

“Don’t you know that the scars I left and the ruins of the temple I destroyed still remain in the Grand Canyon?”

“I know. famous. It is a must-see tour.”

“Why do you ask when you know that?”

Maybe it was because it reminded me of the long time ago when I went to catch the White Dragon Clan and had to come back after destroying just one church.

Limon put on a sullen expression.

Ainsha answered his question with an expressionless face.

“When I return home tomorrow, I will take Lee to the Holy League together to make a foolish fait accompli.”

“…It’s nice to be honest, but do you think I’ll follow you if you reveal your true feelings like that?”

“Not by yejiro. But that’s okay. The future can be changed.”

“Changing the future and changing people’s minds are completely different matters, princess fool…”

Hearing that confident answer, Limon pressed his temple and turned his head.

Then, he said with his eyes to Li Qingyu, who was putting a piece of delicious meat on the rice bowl next to him.

‘Princess, what should she do?’

‘Sorry, that’s impossible for me.’

‘What if you can’t stop?’

‘Hmm… Maybe the swordsman has no choice but to get used to it?’

Li Qingyu replied with a smile.

Limon clicked his tongue as he saw that even though he was smiling, his embarrassment was fully conveyed.

It was because he knew why she couldn’t help but laugh while watching Ainsha’s blatant courtship.

The problem was the proposal to return the 7% stake of the White Dragon Clan among the shares of Leviathan that she had sold to support the World Peace Plan.

Leviathan’s shares are not just stocks, but the lifeline of the Black Dragon clan and the right to rule the Seven Dragons.

But if I just don’t stop him from dashing to Limon, he’ll return the stake.

With only a 50.1% stake remaining, it was an unconventional proposal that was hard to refuse, so it made me want to go insane.

Even more shocking was the fact that Li Qingyu had not yet accepted the offer.

However, Limon, dissatisfied with that, frowned and grumbled with his eyes.

‘So I just told you to reject it.’

‘If this fact is known, our elders will definitely raise a rebellion.’

‘I’ll beat them up?’

‘Even if the elders deal with it, the clan’s dissatisfaction will remain. Above all, that controlling stake is an essential weapon for the swordsmith to take control of the Seven Dragons.’

‘That’ll work somehow.’

‘If Ainsha refuses, it’ll be like cheating and I wouldn’t have declared that I would go to war right away.’

‘…In short, is this a one-shot?’

‘It’s a situation where it’s difficult to find an answer either way, whether it’s justification or practicality.’

Hearing Li Qingyu’s thoughts as he put down the kimchi, Li Mon sighed.

Even if he ignored the practical gain, he had nothing to say if he was questioned for a just cause. After all, they were the ones who tried to scam the date in the first place.

Of course, Ainsha also tried to poison Limon, so he could fight back with that.

The problem is that she first promised to cooperate in capturing the liberation brigade with the apology.

Because of that, it was like I couldn’t even argue with something.

In the end, Li Qing-wi had no choice but to take the halfway attitude of ‘holding it for now’.

‘Do you think he calculated that far and promised cooperation?’

‘That would be great, but… it wouldn’t be. Maybe this happened because I ran with my eyes closed?’

‘Wouldn’t it be weird if that sounded more awesome?’

‘Sometimes a fool is scarier.’

It’s all thanks to someone who evolved the idiot who acted based on ignorance into a super idiot who ignores wit and acts.

When Limon scratched his cheek as he looked at Li Qingyu, who pointed out with a smile on his face.

Ainsha murmured as she slid the jelly she picked up with her chopsticks for the third time onto the table.

“It’s shameful to have a secret conversation with Li Qingyu’s telepathy. It is a foul.”

“You didn’t use mental induction?”

“It’s just a wink, a wink.”

“It is questionable. The eye is the organ of vision. I don’t know how to talk.”

“Because married couples can tell what each other is thinking just by looking into their eyes.”

“…Anyway, a foul is a foul.”

Li Qingyu leisurely spreads fish fillets and puts them on a rice bowl with a grin.

Ainsha managed to move the fourth jelly even though he looked at her with a pouty face in the middle of his expressionless face.

And Limon frowned.

“Princesses over there, I will take care of my food, so please eat yours. It’s not like setting up a memorial service, what is this?”

Before meat kimchi, jelly, fish meat and herbs, etc.

Limon said in amazement as he looked at his rice bowl, which was on the verge of causing a landslide as all kinds of side dishes piled up like a mountain.

However, the attitude of Li Qingyu and Ainsha was calm.

“That’s right, I’m a swordsman’s prospective bride. Isn’t it the bride’s privilege to prepare the groom’s meals?”

“All right. Then I’ll do it myself. You open your mouth.”

“Aside from the fact that a priest doesn’t have such a privilege, where did you learn that, Ainsha?”

“I learned from Tata. How to become a beloved bride. It is a perfect strategy.”

Li Qingwina covered her face with blood.

Ainshana making stupid noises without expression.

Seeing the two people with no sign of backing down really made me suffer for a while.

Limon finally spoke straight.

“Ainsha. As you know, I am already engaged to Li Qingyu here, so I cannot marry you.”

“it’s okay. It is the swordsman who marries Li Qingyu. I just need to marry Lee.”

“…Even if I concede a hundred times and accept your insistence that I and Lee are different people, it is still the same that I have no intention of marrying you.”

“If you don’t have a heart, you can let it go.”

“Is it embarrassing to talk about my feelings like a new product that will arrive someday?”

“Love always comes suddenly. I did too. Lee will too. So let’s try.”

“….”

I can’t say the words.

Do you think you don’t want to listen?

Even in hundreds of years of life, I’m at a loss for words at the broken love that I’ve never experienced before, and the courtship of a fool’s fastball strike.

asked Limon, really stunned.

“I know your passionate passion, but what if you find out that you married a married man?”

“If you get caught, you get caught.”

“Then didn’t you think it would be a problem?”

“it’s okay. Even if I become the second wife, the clan will understand. If you can’t do it, hit me and make me understand.”

“What is that…?”

Seeing Ainsha confidently answer with clenched fists, Limon, who was dumbfounded, suddenly shut his mouth.

Because I realized something important again.

‘Come to think of it, he’s from the Holy League, right?’

Holy Alliance.

A religious crucible centered on Jerusalem, the last holy city in the world, where all kinds of temples and denominations are intertwined.

In this statutory country that died out after the Silver Age, even the same people have different laws depending on their faith and religious affiliation.

A particularly notable example is the institution of marriage.

Polygamy, polygamy, group marriages, shared marriages, cousin marriages, same-sex marriages, consanguineous marriages, predatory marriages, and so on.

In the Holy League, any marriage is allowed according to religion. The only thing that matters is whether or not you can receive God’s blessing when you get married.

Even the marriage system of the Amazons, who kidnap their husbands and kill them after giving birth, is recognized.

Because of this, even among church members, priests, and gods, quarrels arise every day.

It was the priest who came out every time.

In other words, this expressionless girl is the one who has seen and mediated all the bizarre marriage systems.

When I pointed out to her about polygamy or sharing husbands, it was only natural for her to respond, ‘What’s the matter?’

‘…I don’t even know anymore.’

Limon gave up thinking further.

If you keep ignoring it, you’ll run into it alone and your passion will cool down on its own.

It was a decision worthy of an old man who was stricken with the aftermath of the world, knowing that there is no eternal love anyway.

That’s why he asked the question out of the blue.

“By the way, Ainsha. Is what you said before possible now?”

“of course. Anytime is fine.”

“okay? Then please stay a while.”

“Only trust me and leave it to me.”

Turn the words in plain language.

But did you not notice that?

Or have you noticed and ignored it?

Ainsha boasted with an expressionless face and placed another chopstick of greens on Limon’s rice bowl.

Looking at the mountains of side dishes that had finally collapsed because of that, Limon couldn’t help but ponder again whether his decision to leave this idiot alone was right.

Shortly thereafter.

After an eventful process, after finishing the meal, Limon put the box he had brought on the table that had been cleaned.

And the moment he opened the box.

Ainsha let out a short exclamation with an expressionless face.

“…that’s awesome too.”

“Do you understand?”

“of course. I am the priest of the Holy League. It is a daily life to see magic tools.”

How to recite Poongwol in the third year of Seodang.

Not to mention, there was no way that Ainsha, who had lived in and out of temples all her life, was unaware of the aura of magic.

Even if it was a magic tool exuding tremendous energy like a deep-dark violin.

“But magic tools like this are rare even in the Holy Alliance. It is greater than most gods.”

“I thought it was quite a level, but… Do you think it’s comparable to a new thing?”

“of course. Even just one magic tool like this will change the prestige of the church.”

“What is that, I know very well.”

Limon shook his head.

Even after the Silver Age ended, magic tools made by priests and witches were highly valued.

or talk to someone far away.

or create water in the desert.

such as staying young longer.

Because it had the power to distort all providences.

Among them, each new magic tool was regarded as a strategic weapon.

Although the value of magic tools decreased as items poured out of the dungeon, that power did not disappear.

“But I don’t know why it’s cursed.”

“It has a rather complex story…”

…Of course, cursed items are cursed items, no matter how great the magic tool, as it was in the past and now.

However, Limon did not bother to explain the story of the Violin of Darkness in detail.

I just asked with a serious face.

“How about that? Can you use your foresight to figure out the identity of this violin or read out where the other Seven Arcs are?”

“Look at it once.”

Ainsha took out a rosary that blocks curses, wrapped it around her, and stretched out her hand, pulling up the psionic.

The moment you hold the violin like that.

A white light flashed in her eyes.
