“So what is it? Even if you now say you want to change your affiliation, there’s no chance……”
“Sir Danmokbi’s clothing is insufficient!”
“……What?”
Perhaps he thought I would complain that I couldn’t serve Danmokbi, but on the contrary! Danmokbi and I were getting along very well, and I had no complaints about my position.
The only dissatisfaction is how you neglect Danmokbi!
“There are only two direct descendants of this family, and he has too few clothes. Please give me some clothes.”
I finally found my chick, so I must dress him nicely.
‘Whether I dress him in red or blue, I’ll decide, so steward, hand over all the rainbowcolored silk.’
As I extended my hand brazenly like a robber, the steward laughed as if he were stunned. Then he answered in a stern tone.
“That pile there is Sir Danmokbi’s one year’s worth of clothing. There’s no more.”
Only a few pieces of clothing and that’s supposed to last a year? I stomped my foot.
“Ay, those clothes are not of good quality, so I’m asking. Give me clothes made of good silk, like what Danmokchang wears.”
“No. Absolutely not.”
I randomly assumed Danmokchang wore good stuff, and it seems he really did.
‘Where’s the law that says people should be discriminated against! Especially when it comes to pitiful things like food and clothing.’
Other family members wear good clothes, so my maternal love was touched. I slowly turned my head and murmured.
“Where in the world is something that can’t be done? Even the steward of Muga smokes.”
It sounded like a whisper, but it must have resonated loudly in the steward’s ears.
Sure enough. I glanced at him, and there was a subtle anger on his face.
“……Dare you threaten me?”
Threatening is what the incompetent do. I opened my eyes wide like a calf and asked loudly.
“Me? Threaten? How can I do such a scary thing? I’m just stating the facts.”
And before the steward could scold me, I quickly turned my body and spoke.
“Ugh, it’s so unfair. I won’t be able to sleep at this rate. I have to ask other people right away if I really threatened them.”
“Wait! Wait!”
The General grabbed me, who seemed about to burst out and ask if smoking a cigarette as he did was a threat. Then, he pulled his eyebrows together and replied.
“I really don’t have any extra clothes, that’s why. I’m not intentionally withholding them.”
“You don’t have any? Can you really assure me that in such a wealthy and large household, there’s not a single roll of silk?”
“Who said there’s no silk! I said there are no made clothes.”
“Ah.”
The General’s words made sense. Wrapping silk around oneself doesn’t make it a piece of clothing.
‘So that’s why Danmokbi just wrapped himself in silk.’
No clothes, just throwing silk?
It was a plausible story. However, if that was true, I had to question and find out more about the way Danmokbi was treated.
I was deep in thought with a serious expression when the General snapped his fingers and said,
“You can make it yourself. Such is the way of a disagreement.”
What? Why is he throwing a curveball like this? I opened my mouth wide in surprise at his sudden attack.
“Me? Make it? I’ve never even held a needle.”
“Then you can learn now.”
What kind of nonsense is this, like a dog fighting over food? Sewing isn’t something you can learn just by reading a book.
But in the General’s mind, it was already decided that I would make the clothes myself. He patted my shoulder with his big hand and laughed.
“You’ve never tried it, so you’ll need to practice before you make it with expensive silk. There’s plenty of cotton fabric, so take it.”
And so, I returned, carrying an armful of cotton fabric.
[This is the time separator]The General stared blankly at Yeona’s retreating figure as she walked away with the cotton fabric. Her high ponytail swung back and forth like a horse’s tail, as if expressing her nature.
“Ah, really. This darned man, does he think everything is settled just by giving me cotton fabric?”
Her grumbling even reached his ears. The General, who had been quietly watching her back, clicked his tongue.
“Tsk.”
I wish I hadn’t heard that.
How did I end up in this mess, caught by that little mouse smoking a cigarette?
‘Really dirty and mean, I should quit smoking.’
He thought so, but quitting smoking was not as easy as he thought. Even a little stress made him crave cigarettes again.
Yeona seemed to know that, as she stopped walking and muttered,
“This is how you torment people. May the taste of cigarettes become terrible. So you can never touch it again.”
“……No, that’s…”
His only pleasure in life was smoking, and she cursed it like that?
‘Should I give her a smack?’
Maybe Yeona noticed the General’s gaze, as she suddenly started walking quickly. Watching her, the General sighed in a different sense than before.
‘It would have been better if she hadn’t run away.’
The General recalled a letter he had received from the head of Danmoksega not long ago. Usually, there was little written about Danmokbi in the letters, but this time was different.
Take good care of him until we summon the divine beast again, so he doesn’t die.
The White Tiger summoning, which he was sure would succeed, had turned into a failure.
According to the warrior of Danmoksega who brought the letter, Danmokbi was so ill that he might die at any time.
‘Then, this side must not have been safe either.’
But Danmokbi was not hurt at all. On the contrary, he was much healthier than before.
There was no need to ponder the reason for his health. It was clearly thanks to that child.
“Why on earth did that child volunteer to attend to the young master?”
The more he saw, the more he could tell. That the child was the owner of a gentle and affectionate temperament. That made him even more upset. Even the warrior who was to return to Shinsan immediately said this about Yeona:
You must eliminate her at an appropriate time, so as not to leave any lingering effects. Try to handle it before the lord returns.
Those words alone felt like a stone weighing on his chest. Instead of sighing, the chief administrator pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
“Ah, it’s bitter!”
For some reason, the cigarette tasted as if he had chewed three raw roots.
‘Why is this happening all of a sudden?’
The chief administrator turned off the cigarette light with irritation.

During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
