The Barbarian Writer of a Martial Arts Visual Novel Chapter 150

EP.150

Of course he’s a man.

Hwarin, it’s true that I made a German friend with my rich imagination, but I couldn’t make a female friend due to lack of data.

‘Of course I thought you’d ask about pineapple pizza first.’

I’ve already prepared an excuse for that, but I’m embarrassed to be asked a completely unexpected question.

Have I never told Hwarin that her German friend is a man? After thinking about it for a while, it seems like it doesn’t exist.

Of course, the image of a poisonous friend in me is the son of Hyang-ah, who was killed by bandits. He was a fellow Korean, had the secret of an unfortunate birth, and died a sad death.

‘Why is Hwarin suddenly asking strange questions?’

Are you doubting me? He was shown to lie too often in front of Hwarin. In Hwarin’s opinion, there may be something suspicious about my settings.

Dang Hwa-rin’s heart may be appalled because Kang Yun-ho’s universe, which he put a lot of effort into, is sprinkled with an ignorant multiverse of a hastily created illegitimate child setting.

Should I immediately tell her that my German friend is a man?

Kang Yun-ho’s crisis awareness sensor is not ringing an alarm, but something is suspicious. Saying that your German friend is a man could be walking barefoot into a minefield.

“Why is that?”

Rather than immediately answering that my German friend was a man, I took a step back and asked her as if exploring.

“You’re a woman.”

Hwarin spoke with certainty as if she knew everything.

“What are you talking about?”

“You were just thinking about it. I saw it all. “If you were a man, you would have answered right away, but since you’re a woman, didn’t you think about it?”

Dang Hwa-rin spoke with a confident voice, as if possessed by a great detective. Hwarin. It’s good that you captured the concerns, but the direction was completely wrong.

“What are you talking about. “It’s a man.”

First, let’s deny it to clear up Hwarin’s misunderstanding. However, by speaking in a light tone, it shows the gap. If there is really solid evidence, it leaves room for change.

“Are you going to lie to me too?”

Hwarin opened her eyes and glared at me with an angry expression.

“Why do you think that?”

Please tell me why you are sure.

“Actually, I was doubting it before… But today, after hearing the story of Mr. Uigakju, I became sure.”

“What did Uigakju say?”

“Lothario. “Remember how I said there was something wrong with my head?”

It looks like Hwarin really doesn’t think of Saekma as her father. I thought it would bother him, but he said it in a fairly insensitive tone and called it a slut.

“You mean you can’t control your emotions?”

“huh. “I also saw similar information in the German recipe book that Tang Geoho kept hidden in the sacred house.”

Men have a yang nature, so they wear poison with yang energy, while women, on the contrary, wear poison with yin energy. After creating a body that can withstand eating the poison of a spirit creature with the opposite nature, it consumes the poison.

Hwarin briefly explained to me the complex recipe for making poison.

“Because the demon was a man, he must have consumed poison full of positive energy.”

“huh. If you take a poison full of positive energy, it stimulates the brain. “Like a lust, you have impulse control problems.”

“aha.”

“You clearly said they had an intimate relationship with him until he pushed you away just before he died. “Then that means there was no mental problem, but for that to happen, the German must be a woman.”

Hwarin lowered her head slightly and raised her eyes to look at me cautiously. Even if this happens, you won’t tell the truth? It was an expression like that.

“….”

I guess I could say that my German friend also had impulse control problems because he was a man. To say that would conflict with the memories of my friend that I had mentioned to Hwarin.

As I remained silent, Hwarin spoke again.

“And then. Do you know the look on your face sometimes when you think of that friend? No matter how hard you try, never. That kind of expression. “It can’t be built.”

Hwarin decisively interrupted the conversation and emphasized to me.

‘That’s because I think of Sohee when I’m acting emotionally.’

There are too many situations that bother me. When talking about a poor friend to capture the emotions, you think of Sohee, who had an unfortunate fate. As Hwarin is getting better, she thinks of Sohee.

‘Should I call my German friend a woman?’

At this level, it’s almost like an outsider’s trick. You need to change your plan.

Let’s check the single friend settings. Settings I prepared. Settings I mentioned. Does anything change when your gender changes? does not exist. Are there any contradictions? does not exist.

Other than the name of my German friend, changing the gender doesn’t change much in the settings I prepared.

Then let’s just admit it.

“okay. that’s right. Is it a girl.”

I smiled broadly at the detective’s point and nodded like a criminal admitting the truth.

———————

After a moment of silence, Hwarin opened her mouth.

“Why did you lie and say your friend is a guy?”

Because it was set to male.

“Because you don’t need to know.”

“Why don’t I need to know that?”

“Now we have to go into the tiger’s den. I have to play the illegitimate daughter of the family head, but if you are aware that the illegitimate child is a woman, you may secretly show it or make mistakes. “It’s too much of a threat compared to the refreshment of revealing the truth.”

“Then what about before that? “You could have told me before today.”

Hwarin bit her lower lip slightly and looked up at me. Do you feel betrayed because your friend didn’t tell you that she was a girl?

In this situation, it would be difficult if I got into trouble with Hwarin. Let’s think of a plausible excuse.

“I never once thought of that guy as a woman. So, when talking about my memories with that guy, there was no reason to say that he was a woman or a girl.”

“but!”

know. Every time I thought of that guy, he had a very emotional expression. I just made up an excuse for that too.

I opened my mouth, avoiding Hwarin’s gaze and looking out the window with a sad look on my face.

“Just….”

“Just?”

“My adolescence came after that guy died. “That’s it.”

Unrequited love that cannot be first love. A man who went through a more painful puberty than anyone else. A man who holds in his heart the love he realized too late.

I smiled at Hwarin with regret and sadness.

“…uh?”

When Hwarin heard me, her jaw opened as if she had been hit with a hammer.

This is why when I spoke to Hwarin, he was my friend, but when I reminisce, he looks affectionate. Hwarin. Is this setting enough to understand?

Let’s be satisfied with the settings and move on to the next story.

There are so many things to prepare before entering the tiger’s den.

*************

I liked it.

A numb pain entered her chest. Don’t ask. The curiosity that had been bothering her like a thorn in her shoe was now digging into her flesh.

Tang Hwa-rin could understand the entire situation from his sad smile.

Not being able to let him pass by even after a cheeky first meeting, coming to save him in danger, and reappearing with an antidote even after he refused.

It was only then that I fully realized why I was doing my best to help him because I was in a similar situation to him.

He must have overlapped her with himself.

Rather than the grand ritual of atonement he was talking about, he helped himself with a different emotion.

A numb pain tightened her chest.

“What is your name?”

Dang Hwa-rin asked about her once again, as if he was tearing off the scab to check the wound.

“huh?”

“What is your friend’s name?”

“Uh…”

Kang Yunho looked like he was thinking about something. It’s not that you can’t remember the name. Then why is it so difficult to talk about it?

Maybe he doesn’t want to share her name with anyone, since he’s the only one who remembers it anymore. A cold wind blew in Danghwarin’s heart.

“say.”

Tang Hwa-rin was momentarily startled by the cold voice that came out of his mouth.

“Danggagi. “He was a playful kid.”

“They say he was an upright child.”

“haha. “You played a good prank on me.”

Although he is upright, he is good at playing pranks. That must mean they were that close. Dang Hwa-rin felt bitter at the scab in his heart that had been touched for no reason.

“What happened to the pineapple pizza? “That is a food that can only be eaten if the blood of the Four Heavenly Families flows.”

“My friend forced me to eat it. At first, I said I wanted to become friends, so they told me what kind of friend I was, when I couldn’t even eat this. He fed it to me as a joke. We feed them while playing together. So, at some point, I was able to eat.”

“Do you eat it if you eat it?”

“haha. Even when he was sick, he would eat pineapple pizza next to me and laugh when I was in pain. I forced myself to eat because I wanted to see that face. Then, later on, we ate pineapple pizza every anniversary of his death. “I can eat well now, but I don’t have any friends to eat with me…”

Kang Yun-ho looked out the window with a look of regret.

Dang Hwa-rin secretly bit her lip at the sight.

She’s heard it too.

Pineapple pizza is ultimately food, not poison. You can enjoy pineapple pizza if you have Sacheondanga blood flowing, but even if it doesn’t, there is a way.

The chef who makes pineapple pizza can eat it after enduring the vomit for a long time.

However, it is said that very few chefs actually follow it because it is such a painful and time-consuming process.

We can even eat pineapple pizza together, which would be disgusting if it weren’t for our blood. Kang Yun-ho walked that difficult and long path for his friend.

‘It wasn’t an empty seat to begin with.’

The empty space in Kang Yun-ho’s heart. The empty space left by the disappearance of a single friend. Dang Hwa-lin thought he could penetrate into the gap.

It was an illusion.

There was no room for him to fit into that man’s chest. A man who looks for someone who resembles her while walking down the street, thinks about her while writing, and feels remorseful at her thoughts from time to time.

She is in his heart.

Is there a way to defeat a dead person?

A deep sense of defeat began to creep up on Dang Hwa-rin’s ankles.

“Hwarin!”

However, it was one man who made Dang Hwa-rin feel defeated and who lifted him out of it.

As soon as Kang Yun-ho noticed a shadow on Dang Hwa-rin’s face, he called her out.

“huh?”

“I’m sorry, but don’t be depressed. A friend is a friend, and we have to think about the future.”

“….”

A swamp of defeat that is slowly filling up. Kang Yun-ho smiled and extended his hand to Dang Hwa-rin.

“Are you going to keep doing that? Hwarinaaaa. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. please help me huh? Hwarin, I would be in real trouble without you. Please save my friend. huh?”

Kang Yunho fidgeted and spoke to her in an exaggerated tone. The only one who is in danger is you. Anyone can see that the tension has been forcibly raised. However, such actions were effective for her, who was mired in low self-esteem and a sense of defeat.

‘This is not the time. Yunho needs me.’

The person who helped him is in danger. This is not the time to sit back. Danghwarin grabbed Yunho’s outstretched hand and pulled himself out of the swamp of defeat.

“okay. “I will help you.”

Tang Hwa-rin said with a small smile.

“really?”

“Anyway, my friend’s mother went to Joseon while she was pregnant, so the party family doesn’t know whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl. I just need to keep my mouth shut. Believe me. I will help you.”

“I’m really glad that Hwarin is on my side.”

Kang Yun-ho breathed a sigh of relief when Dang Hwa-rin seemed to have regained her strength.

“what. “I’m always on your side.”

“There is only Hwarin!”

When Kang Yun-ho playfully tried to hug Dang Hwa-rin, Dang Hwa-rin dodged away and laughed.

“Cook cluck. what. really. Now, tell me what you plan to do.”

Danghwarin looked at Yunho who was desperately explaining the plan to her.

okay. This is not the time to feel defeated.

Of course, I may not be his only friend.

But I will save him no matter what.

Because Kang Yunho is my only person.

*********

There was a bit of a rough patch in my friend’s story, but fortunately I was able to overcome it.

Hwarin enthusiastically discussed the future with me. Sometimes he looked at me with bitter, meaningless eyes, but I decided to understand that since he had become a guy who forced himself to eat pineapple pizza.

“What are you going to do tomorrow? “Don’t you need time?”

Hwarin spoke to me in a worried tone.

“I have a method in mind.”

Temporary closure takes time. There must be a safety device that ensures that life is guaranteed even if things go wrong.

“What should I do?”

“I’ll find out tomorrow when I see it.”

[This is Hopil….]
