The Barbarian Writer of a Martial Arts Visual Novel Chapter 169

EP.169

Were you surprised by an unexpected sound?

For some reason, the voice is like that of a friend who came to my room and said he would not eat snacks because he was on a diet, but was caught sneaking side dishes out of the refrigerator during the night and eating bibimbap.

“I woke up thinking there was an intruder washing up.”

“What is that… hmm. “I guess the sound of water woke you up.”

Cheongun Sohyeop was about to tackle my ridiculous statement for a moment, but calmed down, steadied his voice, and said as if he understood.

Luckily, I confirmed that the intruder wasn’t wasting my water bill, so I’ll just sleep. As I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked toward the washroom, I saw something white in the moonlight.

bandage?

“Cheongun small cooperative. “Are you injured?”

I asked in a worried tone.

“no. “What are you doing this for?”

“I saw a bandage in front of the washroom.”

“… That’s it! “I suffered some minor scratches during the battle.”

For a martial artist, a minor scratch doesn’t even count as an injury. I am a medic even if I get cut with paper! Where’s the medic?! I feel like I’m going to shout.

Come to think of it, Cheongun Sohyeop had bandaged our forearms after saving us. It’s amazing that he cut down so many people in black and ended up with only scratches and no major injuries.

Thanks to the Jade Face Self-Defense Technique, the risk of being killed by a blind blade has disappeared, but I can’t even think of using tricks like holding a blade.

“Confucius Kang, are you sleeping?”

Squeak. While I was lost in my thoughts, the sink door opened slightly and I heard Cheongwoon Sohyeop’s voice speaking cautiously for fear of waking me up.

“I’m not sleeping.”

“ah!”

bang! The sink door was hastily closed.

“Do you by any chance need a towel?”

I asked, looking at the towel roughly thrown on the nightstand. I forgot to put down a new towel because I was eating the dumplings that Cheongun Sohyeop gave me.

“We have towels!”

Then do you need something else?

Inside the dark and quiet room. I couldn’t hear the sound of water coming from the washroom, but I could hear the sound of feet stamping on the wet floor.

“Cheongun small cooperative?”

I called him to ask if he needed anything other than a towel.

“ah! That one. “Could you please go to the owner’s daughter’s room on the far left outside and ask her to turn on some warm water?”

what. Was it something like that? It seems the water was fuller than I thought.

“haha. Of course, warm water is better than cold water bathing. But it’s late at night, will you be awake?”

“Your daughter told me to come home late at night, so I’m sure she’s still awake.”

“aha.”

I don’t think I meant it that way. Is this okay to go?

“It’s harder than I thought because it’s cold. sorry.”

I could feel shame and earnestness in Cheongun Sohyeop’s voice.

“What is there to be sorry for? “I will come back.”

I may go through an embarrassing situation, but I am a benefactor wearing a lifesaving mask, so what can I do?

I left the room, making a mental note that even for a Taoist monk, it would be difficult to take a cold shower on this cold day.

———————–

“oh. Taoist master… is not.”

When I opened the door, what I saw was the attire of a woman about to engage in the decisive battle of her life.

To hide my ordinary appearance and show off my voluptuous body, I quickly admired the naked woman’s body, stored it in my brain’s memory, and looked at her face, pretending not to have seen anything.

The owner’s daughter looked disappointed when she found out that it was not Cheongun Small Cooperative, but that did not mean I could become Cheongwoon Small Cooperative, so I simply relayed the business.

“Hmm. It’s not difficult. “Now that we’re here, would you like to come inside and see something interesting?”

The guesthouse owner’s daughter looked me up and down carefully and pointed to some kind of device in the guest room.

“I have to leave right away tomorrow. “I’m sorry I’m late at night, but I have to ask you a favor.”

What’s so amazing about controlling a boiler? I left behind the owner’s daughter, who nodded regretfully.

It was a nice sight to see at night. It’s crazy.

I can’t believe a woman like that tempted me to spend the night. Cheongun Sohyeop is a Taoist monk who has to stay away from color, so he has no sense of relationships with women. If he had visited him at night, he would have been eaten right away.

If this is the Cheongun Small Agreement, things like this will happen frequently in the future. As a professional in relationships between men and women, I should give some advice when I get the chance.

“Prince Kang?”

As I was about to go back to my room, leaving behind my envy of the handsome man’s life, I ran into a member of the Medical Corps coming out of the room with a water jug in his hand.

“Are you awake?”

Did you have some business to do so you came out?

“Several people are taking turns standing guard to protect Hwarin Soger.”

You were on guard. Since you never know when the enemy might attack you, why don’t you feel safe even in your guesthouse and stay on guard?

“If you want to go somewhere, make me do it.”

“it’s okay.”

“I’m not okay.”

I said, taking the kettle from the Uigak member.

“…Then, could you please bring me some mineral water from the carriage?”

I want to give even a little help to the crew members who are having a hard time because of their friends. I nodded, filled the mineral water in the carriage standing in the stable, and headed to the guest room.

—————-

“How is Hwarin?”

I put the kettle in the room where Hwarin was and asked the member of the Uigak staff who was taking care of her.

“I lost my mind, but fortunately the poison inside my body has not invaded my body.”

“If it’s okay, it would be nice if you could at least open your eyes.”

I said while looking at Hwarin, who seemed to be sleeping soundly. It feels strange to see Hwarin with her eyes closed while I am awake.

Even when he was writing a novel at night, he stayed up behind me until I went to bed, and he always woke up earlier than me in the morning, so it was hard to see his defenseless sleeping face.

‘Hwarin. ‘I need to wake up.’

I miss Hwarin’s voice telling me to get up quickly because it’s late to open the bookstore. I miss Hwarin who curses as if she’s embarrassed when she jokes around. I want to hear Hwarin’s laughter when something funny happens.

Hwarin. You can’t wake up like this, right? Anxious thoughts that I never wanted to have weighed heavily on my chest.

“It looks like Hwarin Soger is hibernating in the winter.”

As I was worried about Hwarin and my complexion darkened, the Uigak member spoke to me.

“Winter sleep?”

“yes. Animals hibernate during the winter in order to engage in physical activity that allows them to survive the cold. It seems that Hwarin Sojeo is also not engaging in other unnecessary physical activities to overcome the poison in his body.”

“So you’re saying there won’t be any problems for the time being?”

Hwarin has lost consciousness, just like animals overcome the cold by hibernating, but if he can control his poison, there will definitely not be a big problem.

“yes. The problem is…”

“The problem?”

“If the winter cold lasts too long, some animals cannot wake up from hibernation.”

“I guess I have to go to Dangga as soon as possible.”

I said, holding Hwarin’s hand carefully.

“If you receive treatment at Sacheondanga, you will come to your senses. “First of all, we need to come to our senses, absorb the dogmatism of the human face owner, and control the poison of the Millennium Wukong.”

Is there a way to come to your senses when you go to the party? Then we need to hurry even more.

“I guess I caused you unnecessary trouble late at night. “I’ll just go.”

The night was deep. We can’t get on the nerves of the tired guards.

“How can you say that worrying about your friend is useless? Confucius Kang, don’t worry too much and get a good night’s sleep.”

After nodding, I engraved Hwarin’s unconscious face in my heart and went back to the room.

———————

As I entered the room, I felt Cheongun Sohyeop, who was lying down, flinching.

I washed it quickly. Did you take a bath in warm water? Judging from the steam remaining around the washroom, it looks like it was done with warm water.

“Cheongun small cooperative. “Are you awake?”

I called Cheongun Sohyeop in a quiet voice.

“yes. “I’m awake.”

“Bandages.”

“Boo bandages? “Why the bandage?”

Cheongun Sohyeop responded with a voice mixed with puzzlement and caution.

“I got new bandages from the medical staff, but if you’ve put on old bandages, I’ll put them back on for you.”

I showed the bandage in my hand to Cheongun Sohyeop, who was sticking out his eyes from the blanket.

“it’s okay!”

“You’d better get some new bandages.”

“No pressure, I mean. It’s okay because I’m only keeping it to stop the bleeding just in case. “Because the bleeding has stopped.”

Considering the risk of infection, it would be better to put on a new bandage. I was thinking about offering it again, but since it was late at night, I thought it would seem like I was bothering him, so I stopped.

I have all-round skills for recovery, so it should be fine.

“Then I’ll put a new bandage aside. “Please save it and use it next time.”

“thank you.”

———–

Since we made peace with the Cheongun Cooperatives and there were no raids, there were no major problems during the trip.

“Have you read any other novels other than the story of the Nine Great Gorges?”

Of course, I had to constantly deal with the Cheongun Sohyeop during my travels, but since I only got such a strong bodyguard, I had no complaints.

“We will make room reservations and purchase medicinal ingredients.”

After running for a few days, we arrived at the next village.

“I will buy food.”

“I’ll give you a list.”

“Let me go with you.”

I went out with the Cheongun Cooperatives to buy all the food we had run out.

“Help me!”

As we were walking around the store to buy food, three boys who were just about to disappear from the crowd came running towards us in a huff.

“What’s happen?”

When Cheongun Sohyeop asked, holding his sword sheath like a thief and ready to jump out at any time, the boys opened their mouths with a slightly nervous look.

“My brother was taken away by people wearing black masks!”

Black mask? A person in black? At that moment, our eyes met with Cheongun Sohyeop. Were you waiting here?

“where are you? Let’s go together!”

“It’s an alley over there. “Over there!”

When Cheongun Sohyeop asked, a boy pointed to an alley not far away.

Isn’t it too dangerous? If you are a black person, you should inform the party members rather than follow them.

As I was trying to stop Cheongun Sohyeop from going towards the alley, I was able to see a very interesting scene.

what. Was it something like that?

“Cheongun small cooperative. “You don’t have to go.”

I quickly grabbed one of the boy’s wrists and lifted him up to dissuade Cheongun Sohyeop.

“evil! “Let go of this!”

When the boy could not touch the ground, he frowned at me and struggled.
