Chapter 47
Episode 47 I am your grandfather (2)
After explaining for a long time, Jinsan Yu was able to reveal his identity to his granddaughter.
“Are you really grandpa?”
“Yes baby. “I’m sorry I surprised you.”
Yu Seol looked at his various aspects with curious eyes.
Although he looked like a boy of the same age as himself, his tone of voice was clearly that of a grandfather.
The nature of the felt energy was also not significantly different.
Moreover, even the facial features vaguely resemble each other. There was no longer any doubt.
“Hi-Hi.”
Eugene San suddenly felt relieved to see his granddaughter smiling brightly.
I thought he would be embarrassed by the change in appearance, but instead he seemed to like it.
“This guy. “Grandpa has changed so much, but why are you laughing?”
Yu Seol hugged her grandfather’s neck tightly and laughed.
“Okay, grandpa!”
“Tsk. “I’m suffocating, so let go of this.”
Since they look similar, they may feel more familiar.
The child was jumping for joy, as if he had found a friend.
After releasing the grandfather’s neck, Yoo Seol made eye contact and shouted.
“Grandpa, come play with me!”
“My knees are too weak to run around with you…”
Yu Jin-san stopped his habitual answer and trailed off. This is because now I no longer have to worry about my physical strength and joints.
Still, it felt a bit awkward to suddenly think of running around with an eight-year-old child.
‘What should I do with this?’
But his worries did not last long.
It was Jin-san Yu who couldn’t help but regret the moments when he couldn’t play with his child.
Now that it’s like this, is there anything I can’t do? It is the only remaining lineage of the family.
“…Where does it hurt again?”
“no. “What does grandpa want you to do?”
Yoo Seol, with his face wide open, clicked his tongue and shouted.
“Catch me!”
Playing tag. I felt a sense of self-destruction for some reason, but I couldn’t be bitten again.
‘Let’s think positively. ‘Shouldn’t you check your physical condition anyway?’
Eugene San took a long breath and started running behind his granddaughter.
Now that my legs have become shorter, my body is less advantageous to performing light attacks than before.
But the speed actually got faster. This may be because, after achieving a complete bone transformation, the bones of the entire body became optimized for martial arts.
After lying in a hospital bed, I started laughing while enjoying the cool breeze.
“Hehehe!”
Yu Jin-san was once again surprised by his own laughter. A grandfather’s laughter in a child’s voice. It was not easy to adapt to the current situation.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Seol had reached the outskirts of the manor and was jumping over the wall.
Yu Jin-san leaps after his granddaughter.
Taaa-!
His shadow, soaring as if piercing the sky, was like a hawk.
When I looked down from a height of five feet or more, I felt as if my stomach had been hollowed out.
“I’ll catch you right away!”
“Hi-Hi. Catch me quickly!”
Yu Jin-san landed on the floor and ran with all his might.
As he increased his speed, his granddaughter’s light attack also became faster.
Movement faster than an arrow. A gust of wind blew through the area where the two beams of light were moving.
Before we knew it, the two were leaving the village and entering the forest.
Ta-ta-ta-tat-!
A strange phenomenon was happening where the two were running.
Even though I ran and stepped on the blades of grass, not a single leaf was broken. It was Chosangbi (草上飛), a light technique practiced by martial arts masters.
“Stand there!”
The distance between the two has become very close.
It seemed as if he could be caught if he stretched out his hand, but he could never narrow it down to a certain distance.
Eugene San was able to realize it without difficulty. The child is controlling the speed and making fun of himself.
“Hi-Hi. Heeheehee!”
No matter how fast she became, her granddaughter’s inaction was already at the level of an absolute person.
Suddenly, the child’s movements became crazy fast and the distance widened rapidly.
Taaa-!
Yuseol flew like a bird and started stamping his feet in the air.
Yu Jin-san, who was watching the scene from behind, opened his mouth wide.
‘Tap in the void (虛空踏步)?’
It was the art of running while stepping in the air, and it was the best technique among light attacks.
I only saw Yujinsan once, at the retirement ceremony of Geomhu (劍后).
Unable to follow his granddaughter’s movements, he stopped chasing and took a breath.
“Let’s stop now.”
As soon as I was ready to surrender, the child came back quickly and asked.
“Did I win?”
“So, is it really that good to beat Grandpa?”
The smile never left the child’s face.
When was the last time you two played together like this?
There seemed to be so many things I wanted to do with my grandfather, who had become like a friend to me.
“Grandpa, should we play another game now? “I know I’m having fun.”
Seeing the innocent child’s smile made me feel uneasy for some reason. I had no idea what kind of trouble I would face if I blindly accepted it.
Besides, what need is there to be in a hurry? Now all that’s left is time.
“Everything is good when we play with Seol. But it would be good to take a little rest. “I have to meet Uncle Baek-gyu.”
“Hmph. okay.”
Eugene San, who was stroking his granddaughter’s head as usual, felt awkward.
The eye level is the same as yours. And because, unlike before, you had to raise your hands high.
‘If you don’t eat this well, you’ll be in big trouble.’
There were concerns that his granddaughter, who was growing quickly, would outgrow him.
In the past, you had to take care of them physically from above, but now you had to take care of them from the side.
Besides, he can’t be defeated by force. The difficulty level of parenting was different from before.
I couldn’t predict what would happen in the future, so I couldn’t let go of my worries.
* * *
The day gradually grew darker and the owl hooted.
It was around the time when the popularity in Paedomun’s manor gradually died down and silence filled the air.
There was an untimely commotion in Moonju’s office.
“What are you? “How did you get in here?”
The security guards waved their hands with puzzled expressions.
It was almost absurd to see a kid in front of me with his back turned and a solemn expression on his face.
“Don’t misunderstand. “Please call Munju for a moment and I will explain.”
“Is this an informal way of talking to someone without being rude?”
It was impossible to convince everyone I met by explaining it to them one by one.
Yu Jin-san spoke as seriously as possible, but what kind of dignity could there be in a child’s voice?
As expected, what came back to him was the guard’s slap.
However, Yu Jin-san, who was watching the approaching palm, was relaxed.
It wasn’t his opponent to begin with, but now the speed seemed even slower. It meant that my sense of self was further enhanced.
As he slightly twisted his upper body to the right, a cool breeze blew into his face.
Paang-!
“Huh?”
While the security guard was panicking, Yu Jin-san quickly snatched two of his fingers as they passed before his eyes.
“I can’t believe adults are rude. “I guess I need to get some training today.”
Wow-!
As he gently cracked his fingers, the guard’s shout came out reflexively.
“Kwaaaa!! “What are you, you bastard?”
He was very embarrassed in front of the kid’s incredible power.
How is this possible? Even if I tried to escape using my inner strength, I was unable to do anything.
“What about this guy?”
“Let’s leave the matter aside and talk about it!”
Was it because of an ingrained habit? Jinsan Yu realized at that moment that he had been harsh and slowly let go of his wrist.
“I didn’t intend to do this. “Nobu also had a hard time getting used to it.”
The expression on the warrior’s face as he kneaded his fingers was full of resentment.
A kid pretending to be an old man appears and lectures me. It seemed like he couldn’t possibly understand the current situation.
“What are you?”
Jinsan Yu stopped before answering. Perhaps because of the commotion, the person they were about to meet in the hall was reflected.
Long diagonal facial scars and massive muscles. And even the scalp where the tendons sprouted. Baekgyu looked like a monster when he looked up from a low position.
“Baekgyu, it’s me.”
“…?”
“We finally succeeded. “Do you recognize me?”
Baekgyu opened his eyes wide and looked blankly at Yujinsan.
He was mesmerized and did not move for a long time.
It was a completely different reaction from the security guard Musa had just moments ago. Was it because I felt the calm flow of energy circling around Mt. Yujin?
Jinsan Yu waited for him for a moment, half worried and half excited.
And after a while.
Suddenly Baek-gyu held his belly button and burst into laughter.
“Fuhahaha! Are you really my brother? How did you become such a cute little boy? ha ha ha!!”
“I’m not in the mood to laugh. “My granddaughter and I are now at the same eye level.”
Baekgyu hesitated and took back the hand he had unconsciously put forward. This is because I almost stroked Jin-san Yu’s head without realizing it.
He wiped the tears from his eyes and opened the door of the palace wide.
“haha. Please come inside first. “Let’s go in and talk about the details.”
“That’s right.”
Eugene San followed Baek Gyu inside, holding his back.
“I’ll bring some tea, so please sit down.”
Yu Jin-san was sitting on a chair, the soles of his feet not touching the floor.
The sight was so cute that Baekgyu’s forehead bulged as if it were bursting from laughter as he tried to hold back his laughter.
“haha. I’m a little younger, but what do you think? “Isn’t it better because lifespan has increased that much?”
“What meaning does life have in a world where you never know when you might die? “The road ahead is just difficult.”
“hmm. People your age are growing up quickly now, so don’t worry too much about their appearance. “After just a little while, you will grow taller.”
Isn’t time moving as quickly as falling leaves? Time will solve the immediate problems. First of all, I decided to think positively as Baekgyu said.
Yu Jin-san met him for the first time in a long time, exchanged greetings and looked at the table.
There are scattered letters and even a map of Shaanxi with various marks engraved on it. It was a sight that had never been seen before.
“Something happened to Gangho.”
Baek-gyu brought a teapot and filled his cup.
“You’re just a ghost. “The war against political factions has begun again.”
It wasn’t surprising. Because the political faction and the Sa faction were repeating wars and truce from time to time. It’s just that the scale is a little different each time.
At that time, Yu Jin-san, who had been quietly savoring the tea, suddenly frowned.
“Ugh. What is this?”
He had always enjoyed drinking any type of tea, but now he couldn’t drink it at all.
“Isn’t it the Honga tea that you liked? “Well, it tastes bitter, so I guess it doesn’t suit children’s tastes.”
Yujinsan sighed and put down the teacup again without hesitation.
“Anyway, it must be crazy that war has broken out again. “What’s the situation like?”
“What do you know? In a fight against a political faction, the Sa faction has never had the upper hand. “These are places where all the red flags on the map have already been smashed.”
It included not only a large sect of its own, but also several famous Sado clans. It seemed like he had planned it out.
In that case, Hohyeon would no longer be a safe area.
“Things don’t look good.”
“Well, that’s true, but it doesn’t mean it’s over yet as Lord Ryeon is preparing a counterattack. “By the way, I had some information to share with you.”
“Information?”
“I haven’t been lying in a hospital bed for half a year. That’s why I put it off for a while, but now I don’t think there’s any reason to hide it.”
There was only one piece of information he requested from Baek Gyu.
Yu Jin-san noticed something and his pupils dilated.
“…no way?”
At that moment, Baekgyu’s finger pointed to one of the red flags.
“That’s right. “During the battle at Kyokujin Gate, the guys you mentioned appeared. Those guys with dragon tattoos on their necks.”
