#743. Stay focused.

[So you’re saying you decided to teach her?]

“Right.”

[Isn’t it dangerous?]

“It’s dangerous. Originally, I was thinking of taking a little more time to reduce the risk as much as possible.”

[It means that you suddenly need to change your plan.]

“It’s not really necessary… but I don’t feel good about it.”

[Are you saying her condition will deteriorate to the point where you’ll have to risk it? Or are you saying that there will be other problems?]

“I don’t know. I am not a prophet.”

[Is that so…]

“Why? Are you worried?”

[no. I don’t think I’ll have anything to worry about as long as you’re there. Just…]

“Just?”

[…]

“The Count?”

[…]

“What?”

[I told you that I was a bit envious of her being able to teach you directly…]

“Why did you say that if you’re going to be so shy?”

[…]

“Don’t look at me with such resentful eyes, Count. Actually, this is nothing to envy.”

[If it were me, I would have been happy just to be alone with you.]

“Well… at least I think the black dog thinks differently?”

* * *

“Charlotte, are you okay these days?”

“Of course it’s okay…”

“You’re asking because it doesn’t seem obvious.”

It’s like chewing gum and spitting it out.

It’s like a recruit suffering from muscle pain.

With a face full of fatigue, he was so lost in his thoughts that he couldn’t hear it no matter how many times he called.

Seeing her not looking perfectly fine, Jenny muttered in a timid tone.

“Is the new part-time job that hard?”

“… not so much.”

“Then, isn’t the boss over there harassing you or something like that?”

“…”

He hesitated.

Jenny raised her eyes when she saw Charlotte, who had been silent for a moment, unlike her clear answer earlier.

“Is it really like that?”

“It’s not bullying. They just ask me to do a little…no, a lot of odd things besides work.”

“Isn’t that what bothers you!”

Jenny was hot.

I’m going to sue the boss right away.

She was furious, but only reluctantly calmed down after hearing Charlotte’s vehement denial.

Still, as if he hadn’t resolved his anger yet, he sighed and added a word.

“If you think that person is doing something later, tell this aunt. I’ll scold you myself.”

“…Yes, I will.”

Looking at Jenny like that.

Charlotte chuckled.

Called Black Dog, she is notorious even among gunmen.

A really normal waitress… No, Jenny’s concern for her by treating her like a niece really relieved her fatigue.

But that was until then.

What made her smile

“Oh, by the way, Charlotte. Did you hear about that too?”

“What are you talking about?”

“That the dark violinist almost got caught up in this terror!”

“A deep-dark violinist… ‘Nim’?”

Charlotte made a strange expression as if she had heard something unheard of.

However, Jenny, who interpreted her surprised point completely differently, muttered while kneading the bread dough.

“Terror to Lee, the musician of the century. After all, there is so much garbage in the world that needs to be cut up and thrown as dog food.”

It seems to remind me of my parents’ enemies.

Jenny pounding the dough.

Seeing that lively figure, Charlotte’s lips trembled.

“…Auntie over there?”

“huh?”

“I’m just saying that just in case. Aunt, are you sure you are a fan of the violinist, not that solicitor?”

“Ah, can you possibly do that?”

“Isn’t it? It can’t be…”

“I’m not a fan, I’m a big fan. Even if I look at it like this, it’s the number 900 member of Lee’s fan club.”

“….”

Calling yourself a normal fan is an insult.

Jenny, who made Charlotte’s soul fall out by proudly declaring it, let out a deep sigh.

“When will Ha-ri-nim have her next performance? If it had only been for the concert, I would have bought a ticket and went there, even if it meant robbing.”

“Auntie, why did you become a fan of such a human…?”

“What a human being! Be careful what you say to our Li-nim.”

Geomryeong’s feelings about being killed by Geomrang were not like this.

Truly a zinc color.

Looking at Charlotte with a shocked expression, as if she had been betrayed by her family, Jenny put on an expression of incomprehension.

“Charlotte, aren’t you still a fan of Lee?”

“Absolutely not.”

“No, why… ah, that’s right. You’ve never heard of Mr. Li playing, have you?”

It’s been awhile since I’ve been asking questions.

It’s as if I’ve realized everything soon.

She nodded and looked at Charlotte with pity for some reason.

“You will know when you hear it. How special his playing is.”

When Las Vegas fell.

Even if he lost his own store, he was able to recover by setting up [Soybean Burger of Happiness].

Even with the cooker confiscated and leaving Las Vegas, he still hasn’t given up on his dream of owning a burger empire.

It was all because I was able to have hope after hearing his performance.

Pronounced Jenny.

Looking at her, Charlotte made a more complex expression.

“My aunt, what would you do if the boss who bullied me was actually that person?”

“Stop talking nonsense. There’s no way that our Li-nim could be such a character-breaker, dog trash, or horny.”

“…So if it is.”

If another human had said that, he would have hit him in the back of the head with a frying pan.

Jenny, who had been talking with a grin, looked at Charlotte who asked again firmly, even though she was breaking out in a cold sweat, and answered after thinking about it.

“Well then, is there anything special? I have to take you.”

“Are you trying to scold me?”

“no? You must have done something wrong, so you should apologize and get an autograph.”

“…”

There is no one person to trust in the world.

Realizing that obvious truth too late, Charlotte drooped her shoulders.

And it seemed like something funny.

After holding onto the boat with its wings as if it were crawling on its stomach and rolling around, the blue bird was shaken in its cage to get rid of its anger.

she turned.

“I’ll go back to my part-time job…”

“Have a good trip. If you don’t like what Mr. Jung is doing, kick him between his legs!”

‘Then I think my aunt will try to kill me.’

Swallowing the words that came out of my throat.

After leaving the store, Charlotte, as always, changed her appearance in the abandoned building and walked away.

To be honest.

I really didn’t want to go.

Even more so because of the desperate sense of betrayal I felt from Jenny today.

Nevertheless, what was waiting for Black Dog, who eventually went to Leviathan, was the boss that her aunt loved.

“Why are you so late?”

“…It’s still five minutes before departure, boss?”

“So it is late. When I was young, as soon as the rooster crowed at dawn, I was beaten up for being lazy if I didn’t work.”

“Which country are you talking about?”

At least the same age as yourself.

Even if it’s for a while, it’s a matter of how old they are.

Black Dog trembled at the viciousness of the president, who made the sound like a kondae more calmly than any other inspiration.

and protested

“In the first place, I was hired as a bodyguard for the boss, right? This is not in the contract.”

“So you’re paying extra for that?”

“You think money is everything?!”

“If you don’t like it, just return the money.”

“….”

‘It’s all about money, right?’

Black Dog swallowed a tear.

Even if the resentment soared, just thinking about the extra money made me feel humble.

In the end, as she calmly entered the shooting range in the basement of Leviathan today, Lee calmly spoke to her.

“Do you remember everything you learned until yesterday?”

“Do you think I am stupid?”

“I’m glad if you remember. Let’s begin.”

“yes yes.”

So Black Dog began training.

pull out the pistol

After aiming at the target.

breathe calmly

Concentrate and pull the trigger.

Taang!

The result is 100% out of 100.

Almost 10 rounds per minute.

We fired 100 rounds in 10 minutes.

Far from missing even a single shot, her marksmanship, which accurately hit the center, was truly miraculous.

Especially considering that the distance from the target is over 300 meters.

“again.”

“again.”

“Concentrate.”

“Be more focused and come back.”

However, Lee, who was watching from behind with his arms folded, was not impressed.

Rather, it seems to be lacking.

I just calmly gave instructions.

“…president. But since I already received the advance payment and it was training, I did as I was told.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

“Until when?!”

Although 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000ssssslatedly already had already been done.

Black Dog, who couldn’t bear to train only mutts from yesterday to today, protested.

However, Lee’s answer was still cold.

“It doesn’t matter how long. How focused you are is what matters.”

“What else should I focus on?”

“Enough to penetrate that.”

“…is the boss crazy?”

“Do you want to have the contract terminated?”

“Then let me ask you again. Are you crazy, boss?”

Even knowing that the contract could be terminated depending on Lee’s mood, Black Dog couldn’t stand the question.

“Is this a regular bullet? Isn’t that a special bullet?”

“I know.”

“By the way, to pierce a 30mm thick armor made of spirit metal with this, is that something that can be solved by concentrating on it?”

“huh.”

“….”

Whether or not Black Dog makes a face that looks like a real jerk.

Li did not raise an eyebrow.

Instead, he just held out his hand.

“Dark dog, do you know why your bullets can’t penetrate that?”

“Because it lacks power.”

“No, it’s because you don’t believe you can penetrate that.”

“…?”

what nonsense is this

Even if you don’t know the meaning.

accepting the handgun she held out.

After filling it with the same regular ammunition that Black Dog used.

Lee entered the saloon and continued speaking calmly, aiming at the armor plate with the target mark.

“If a person cannot cut the world with a sword, it is not because it is impossible, but because it has never been cut down.”

“God can work miracles and change the world because people believe it is possible.”

“The skill of the spirits, the knowledge of magic, and the reasoning of the sword. No matter what it is based on, in the end all mysteries come from will and are accomplished with faith.”

Mystery is beyond reality.

realized in different ways.

Even if you need to build another discipline.

For those who handle mysteries, the most important thing is not talent, but unwavering faith and indomitable will.

with soft words.

Take enough time.

The moment he pulled the trigger, raising his concentration to the limit.

“So believe me.”

“As the sun rises in the east.”

“Your bullets can pierce anything.” “If you can

believe

that without a single doubt…”

roar like thunder

The will that pierces everything in the world is encased in a bullet that is neither a spear nor a sword, tearing through the air.

With the front and back open, the glove is rolling around on the ground.

Seeing that even the iron wall behind it was shattered into a circular shape and an endless hole was formed, he returned the pistol to her, who stiffened.

He ended his speech calmly.

“Your bullet will become a magic bullet that pierces even the providence of the world.”
