The Barbarian Writer of a Martial Arts Visual Novel Chapter 269

EP.269

“Aren’t you staying up too late these days?”

The night of the day when franchise owner No. 1 Jeon Gil-san’s guesthouse was successfully put back on track. Ha-yeon Lim opened the door to her office with a look of worry on her face.

“I decided to meet Mangeum Jeonju tomorrow. Until then, you have to work hard.”

I am really busy because I have to handle the main office work, business partner work, franchise management, Korean local community association business, and even Daseo-gak-related work that came from Uichang.

“Here is the ledger I will take tomorrow. “I almost finished organizing all the miscellaneous documents.”

If Lim Ha-yeon hadn’t helped him, he would have collapsed right now.

“Jeon Seo-gu must have had a hard time training, so thank you. uh?!”

The moment I got up from the chair and tried to grab the ledger that Ha-yeon Lim held out, I lost my balance.

“are you okay?!”

Ha-yeon Lim grabbed me and caught me as I was about to fall to the floor. Was I really on the verge of falling over?

She may have been surprised by this situation, but she hugged my body tightly and did not relax her strength. Do you use perfume or something? A strangely good scent emanates from her soft body.

Come to your senses. I have this foolish thought that my mind and body are exhausted.

“I’m sorry. “I guess I felt dizzy for a moment.”

I stood up with strength on my feet and deliberately and carelessly walked away from her. Could it be because of the light reflecting off it? Lim Ha-yeon’s face was slightly flushed.

“Let’s sleep for today.”

Ha-yeon Lim spoke to me with a look of worry on her face, as if she was watching a newborn child walk precariously.

“Let’s take a look at the ledger organized…”

“Now. “There’s no need to check.”

Ha-yeon Lim put her hands to her sides and glared at me, as if she would show off her skills if I said one more word.

“Okay.”

If I don’t want to collapse in front of Mangeum Jeonju tomorrow, I’ll just go to sleep now.

I nodded and sat down on the bed in the corner of the office.

“Uh…”

As I was getting ready to lie down on the bed, Ha-yeon Lim called to me with her head down.

“Do you have something to say?”

“…thank you. Tomorrow will be fine!”

Were you embarrassed? Im Ha-yeon ran out of the office without even listening to my answer.

Did he think it was because of me that I was overexerting myself? It’s not wrong. When we first met, I didn’t really say thank you, but it’s really come a long way.

I collapsed and lay down on the bed.

To save Daseo-gak and Im Ha-yeon, tomorrow’s meeting with Mangeum Jeonju must end on a positive note.

First, let’s wake up and meet Mangeum Jeonju with a refreshed mind.

———————–

“Mangeum Jeonju is meeting with his maternal grandchildren. Please wait a moment.”

Jeon Gil-san, for some reason, he said it would be difficult to meet him today. Did you have a prior contract with your maternal grandfather?

I came here very nervous, thinking we would meet right away, but I feel a little lost.

The competition between Mangeum Jeonju’s maternal grandsons to become the successor is the main test, and I have no choice but to wait, as it will be a side test.

“Where have you gone!”

“Find it quickly!”

As I was waiting as if I was waiting for a job interview, the surroundings suddenly started to become noisy.

What’s going on? I went out to the garden where I could look around to calm my nervous mind.

“…What box?”

A wooden box large enough to fit a person was placed in a corner of the garden.

It wasn’t there before?

A wooden box in a garden that completely excludes artificial objects. It was awkward, but it was too awkward.

“Look around quickly!”

“Prince Kang, please excuse me for a moment.”

People who appeared to be servants of the mansion entered the garden and looked around.

what? There’s an overtly suspicious box, so why don’t you pay attention?

“Not here. “It must be somewhere else!”

The servants looked around, leaving only the surrounding area, as if the box was not there, and then left the garden.

what? Do you act as a group? The soldiers guarding the demonic weapons don’t seem to notice the boxes crawling around at all.

If you look closely, the area around the box looks a bit blurry. that’s interesting. I carefully approached the box.

“this!”

I broke off a strange piece of wood near the box.

All the things in the garden must be expensive. What if I ask you to ask?

“uh?!”

The moment I broke the piece of wood, I heard a startled sound from inside the box.

“Look in the garden again!”

The box moves. I don’t know who it is, but if it was a stealth game, it would be game over. It is confirmed that he will be executed by firing squad.

“Ah…”

“Who are you?”

I moved my body in the direction the box was moving and blocked it.

“Please get out of the way.”

female? A very timid female voice could be heard from inside the box.

“….”

Should I get out of the way?

“Can you please get out of the way?”

A desperate voice rang out from inside the box.

“miss! miss! Where have you been! miss!”

“Look for a jar or a box somewhere!”

“Hi!”

Is it Mangeum Jeonju’s family? I guess the troublemaker girl is playing tag.

“There’s no one on the right.”

I have an important interview coming up, but I hate getting involved in troublesome matters. I muttered quietly to just listen to the box.

“Thank you so much.”

The wooden box lifted slightly so that I could move my feet a little, and then moved to my right at a trotting pace.

“Not to my right, but to the right of the box.”

“ah!”

The wooden box changed direction again and soon disappeared in the direction of no one.

My voice was young. Who do you think it was?

————————

“It’s a delivery food that utilizes Jeonseo-gu. “I guess I thought this way.”

Some time later the suspicious box disappeared. The general I had seen before came and led me to the Mangeum Jeonju.

“I thought it would be better to pioneer a new market rather than an existing business. “This is a business I found after thinking about what I can do and what I am lacking.”

“It’s also unique that it’s a franchise business. “You can expand your business without borrowing money or spending additional money.”

“I think it is a good business strategy because no one else can imitate Kiosugu and there are still many places to expand business in Wuhan.”

“Are you even giving your sharecropping to someone else’s grandchild?”

Did you know that far?

“Haha… But these days, they like it because there are a lot of leftovers.”

They said they would squeeze it out through a franchise business, but it would be difficult if Jeon Gil-san doesn’t have enough reputation to endure it.

“The business is good. … Now that I think about it, are your parents still in your hometown?”

Why is it suddenly a story about parents?

“He passed away.”

The facts were reported as plainly as possible without any emotion.

“You should have seen your child grow up, but it’s a shame.”

It doesn’t look sad at all. Rather, there was a subtle but welcome feeling in the voice. Why did you ask?

“I am living to become a child who is not ashamed of the name of my deceased parents.”

I don’t know why I asked, but I pretended to be a dutiful son who lives with his deceased parents in my heart.

Mangeum Jeonju nodded and looked at my business-related documents and ledgers in silence for a while.

Is there some problem? Mangeumjeonju’s brows furrowed and he did not intend to straighten them. Why do things go on so smoothly and then end up like this?

I’m anxious. I felt like I was answering interview questions well and then being mentioned about my career gap period during which I was unemployed.

“This business. “There is a problem.”

Mangeum Jeonju drove a wedge into my anxiety.

“What problem are you talking about?”

“The contents of the ledger related to Jeonseo-gu are poor. “Originally, I should have purchased it at a high price, but I can’t see the ledger records.”

“I happened to have a friend who could train Jeon Seo-gu, so I got some help.”

“I said let’s see what you’re capable of. Not your friend’s abilities. I don’t know if it’s a little help. “The foundation of the business should not have been built with the help of others.”

“Even though I received help from Jeonseo-gu, I did the business planning.”

“You should have paid a fair price for that help. If so, it must have been your ability. But there is no such record in this ledger. And if I had paid that, I wouldn’t have been able to start a business.”

“…Are you saying my test is invalid?”

Jeonseo-gu is expensive. Originally, it would have been over budget to purchase a three-story guest house and Jeonseo-gu. So, the point is that a business that is running successfully is invalid.

“why? “It seems far-fetched.”

It’s far-fetched, so isn’t it far-fetched?

You didn’t say that in the first place. The condition given was that we would do business in Wuhan with one voucher. Mobilizing Lim Ha-yeon was also my ability.

I am in danger of failing to pass the exam and becoming a slave to debt forever.

I stared at Mangeum Jeonju.

An expression with a smile waiting for something. He’s acting ridiculously unreasonable and pushing me into a corner, waiting for my reaction.

‘This old man seems to be similar to me.’

Waiting for me to take the bait.

“I think you must have a separate meaning for making this point after constantly praising me.”

Tell me why you set the fishing rod.

“Heulheul.” okay. You are so unreasonable in saying that Jeon Seo-gu is simply help. “If you listen to my insistence, I can take a look.”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”

Are you saying you are going to add additional conditions to the test?

“Let me see you face to face with my granddaughter.”

—————-

“Elder. “I made a promise to Hwarin for the future.”

The completely unexpected proposal left me speechless for a while.

“You mean in 10 years?”

Where did you find that out again?

“Nothing changes whether it’s 10 or 20 years.”

“How can a man who does great things not get married? I need to find someone to help me. “I will introduce you to my granddaughter, so please be careful.”

Technically speaking, I got married two years ago. First of all, I am a married man.

“Thank you for thinking very favorably of me. However, although it is presumptuous, I believe that this proposal is a violation of the good faith you have with Lord Baekgajang.”

I can’t bear to reveal the truth, so let’s go back.

“If you want to get married in 10 years, you can do it. I’m not talking about breaking off the engagement. “I would rather give you my granddaughter so that you can carry out the wishes of the Baek family.”

Mangeum Jeonju smiled at me, spreading his shoulders as if he were being generous.

Is this the way this world thinks? It may be absurd, but maybe it really is a favor.

It’s hard to see much of Korea these days, but if there’s a young man around, people who are around my grandfather’s age have suggested that he try a line with his granddaughter.

“I understand what you mean. But how could I break my trust with the woman I promised my future with?”

I decided to take responsibility for the heroines I had relationships with, but that didn’t mean I would accept every woman who came to me.

I refused in a firm tone.

“Then I cannot accept your pretense.”

This spirit is real.

Mangeum Jeonju smiled at me as if to say, “You’re a fish that has already taken the bait, but don’t even think about escaping.”

If you want Daseogak back, you should marry my granddaughter. What kind of ridiculous proposal is this?

I would understand if it were someone else rather than me. Because he may be a desirable talent. But why would someone who cherishes his friendship with Baekjiazhu suggest something like this?

At that moment, a hypothesis came to mind.

“Elder. “Is this series of processes related to what is currently happening with my grandchildren in Wuhan?”

no way. if. It makes no sense. no. The test is only for my maternal grandchildren. No, it’s still a bit strange.

“It’s rude for outsiders to ask about my family’s secrets, but if I have a relationship with my family, I can tell them.”

Does this mean that it is half correct?

“Thank you for looking at me favorably. However, Hwarin is the granddaughter of Lord Baekjia and a member of the Sacheondang family.”

No matter how great the financial power of the Mangeum battlefield, the opponent is the rout of Sichuan Province. It’s Sacheondang. Just give up.

“It’s okay. “My granddaughter is the child of the Zhuge family.”

“yes?”

Where? Jegal? What is the price of Zhuge when it comes to divine power?

In martial arts, it is one of the families that is always mentioned when the Murim family is reduced to five and called the five major families. If Sichuan Province has the Sichuan Tang Family, Hubei Province has the Zhuge Family.

Of course, the best sect in Hubei Province is the Shaman sect, which is the leader of the Taoist sect and one of the pillars of the nine sects.

However, that was because the Shaman faction was so great that it was called the Taishan Bukdu of Wulin, so the power of the Zhuge family in Hubei Province was not weak.

“The child’s mother also gave permission. I told you to dress up your child. Let’s meet first and talk.”

Had all the preparations already been completed?

It was so absurd that I almost laughed. It seems that Jeon Seo-gu was trying to make an excuse and meet his granddaughter for any reason.

How should I say it?

Shall we say that Danghwarin is treated as a direct descendant of the Sicheondang family? If I send you a letter saying I’m confronting you a few months after breaking up with Hwarin, will you tell me that an angry German will turn the Mangeum battlefield into chaos?

Or should we say that Salmak’s top prospect will never see that happen again? Or….

“Hey Jeonju! Lady!”

As I was choosing my words, the commander-in-chief with an urgent look on his face opened the door.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh, Miss!”

“Why that kid?”

“You disappeared, leaving behind only a wooden doll!”
